"Teacher Jiang Fang, listen! I really did run into a strange monster just now!"
The capybara had run off.
Janet looked rather dejected, with a hint of regret.
As a member of the Global Elite Training Camp,
she only got two or three chances to go out hunting each year.
At first, Janet had thought she'd caught a particularly unusual monster.
But she hadn't expected the teacher's arrival to scare the little thing away.
"I watched the footage. That capybara really did seem harmless. It could be a mutated monster—or it could be a trick!"
In truth,
Teacher Jiang Fang had never encountered anything like it either.
At least, judging by the footage, it seemed friendly and showed no signs of aggression.
But at that very moment, the capybara praised by the two beauties had taken on a completely different face.
The reason was simple.
He wasn't facing a beauty now.
He was facing a high-level Beast General monster, known by the scientific name Bloodthirsty Tank.
As the name suggested,
this thing could even flip over a human armored vehicle.
An ordinary human warrior of the same rank might not even be able to pierce its hide.
For some reason,
Ye Xiu had blundered straight into the monster's territory.
By the time he wanted to turn back, it was already too late.
The monster had him cornered!
"How about we make a deal? We can just stay out of each other's way!"
Naturally, Ye Xiu's "offer" fell on deaf ears.
The Bloodthirsty Tank's blood-red eyes held nothing but primitive rage and hunger.
It had clearly mistaken the capybara that had barged into its territory—plump and juicy-looking—for a snack that had walked right up to it.
"Roar!"
A thunderous, muffled growl rang out.
The Bloodthirsty Tank's enormous body, as big as a heavy truck, suddenly surged into motion.
Its thick limbs pounded the ground with heavy thuds, and the entire ruined city seemed to tremble.
Lowering its head, it aimed its massive, metal-glinting horn at Ye Xiu and charged like a runaway tank!
Its speed was astonishing, completely at odds with its massive size!
Everything in its path was smashed to pieces, sending clouds of dust billowing through the air!
Ye Xiu's heart lurched, and he didn't dare let his guard down for an instant.
A Junior Beast General against a high-level Beast General? A head-on fight would mean certain death!
"Black Hole, open!"
At a thought, the Mini Black Hole, now 45 centimeters in diameter, opened behind him.
The pitch-black vortex spun silently, radiating a terrifying force of absorption.
But the Bloodthirsty Tank was charging too fast, with too much force!
The Black Hole's pull clearly slowed it down, drawing an enraged roar from the monster.
Yet its terrifying momentum still drove its massive body forward against the pull, straight toward Ye Xiu!
Its horn was now less than five meters from Ye Xiu!
But that was as far as it got!
"Vmmm—"
The Black Hole spun faster, sending out gravitational waves that began to distort the surrounding space.
The mutated Bloodthirsty Tank realized in terror that it was trapped in an invisible swamp. Every inch forward took an enormous effort.
Its thick limbs dug into the ground.
They carved four deep furrows through the concrete, but its massive body was still dragged backward, powerless to resist.
Most terrifying of all, its vaunted defenses meant nothing against this force.
Its body began to stretch unnaturally, its tough hide making a grating sound as it tore.
"ROOOAR—!!!"
A piercing scream echoed through the ruins.
As Ye Xiu stared in shock, the enormous beast, weighing tens of tons, stretched like a lump of dough. Its limbs and torso were pulled to grotesque lengths.
Then it was dragged toward the pitch-black vortex, one section at a time.
The whole scene was so surreal it was almost absurd.
Its hard bone spines snapped and broke apart as space twisted around them.
Its foul-smelling blood hadn't even had time to spray before the gravitational field caught it, drawing it into thin, spiraling streams that disappeared into the Black Hole.
In just two or three seconds, the once-arrogant mutated monster had been stretched into a "line of meat" and vanished completely into the depths of the Black Hole.
[Beep! Successfully devoured mutated Bloodthirsty Tank!] [Converting energy...] [Host's level increased to high-level Beast General!] [Black Hole Domain diameter increased: 80 centimeters!] [Bloodthirsty Tank: Strength Enhancement gene fragment detected. Extract and fuse?]
An immense surge of energy erupted inside Ye Xiu, like a volcano blowing its top!
It was ten times more powerful than when he had devoured the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf!
His bones crackled like firecrackers, and his muscles swelled as if he'd been inflated.
He still looked just as round on the outside, but the power contained within him had undergone a world-shaking transformation!
A sense of strength unlike anything he'd ever known filled his entire body!
High-level Beast General!
On the outskirts of this ruined city, he could practically go wherever he pleased!
"Extract!"
Ye Xiu didn't hesitate.
A rush of heat flowed through his limbs and bones. He felt his strength increase exponentially.
It was as if one swipe of his paw could smash his former self to pieces!
An 80-centimeter Black Hole!
Strength Enhancement!
The power of a high-level Beast General!
Ye Xiu lifted his head and gazed deeper into the ruined city.
Even more powerful Lord-level Monsters lurked there—perhaps even King-level Monsters!
Ambition blazed in his eyes.
"Devour... keep devouring!"
"Lord-level isn't far away!"
But just as he was shaking his little rump back and forth,
a woman's voice sounded beside his ear again.
"Oh! A capybara!"
"Are you the little guy Janet told me about? I'm Zhao Ruo!"
What the heck?
Another one from the Global Elite Training Camp?
What was going on?
Why were all these pretty girls...
coming to his territory to hunt?
He turned toward the voice.
This time, it wasn't the blue-eyed, blond-haired Janet.
It was an Eastern girl who looked a little baby-faced.
Her name was Zhao Ruo.
She wasn't very famous, but her junior fellow apprentice, Luo Feng, was the protagonist of Swallowed Star.
Unbelievable.
Was he fated to meet these beauties?
Why did he keep running into girls like this?
"I heard you like carrots, right? But I've only got beef jerky. Do you eat meat?"
All right!
What was with these girls?
Hadn't they seen him take down a vicious monster just now?
Why did they all look at him like he was some handsome guy?
Was he really that cute?
"You!"
Although he was thoroughly annoyed,
the moment the girl opposite him produced some spiced beef jerky,
Ye Xiu's body went out of his control again.
Sniffing the delicious aroma in the air, the capybara trotted over.
He stuck out his little tongue and licked.
The slightly spicy beef jerky went straight into his mouth.
How to put it?
Devouring food with the Black Hole was certainly faster.
But food tasted better when he put it in his mouth and chewed.
"Hehe, that tickles!"
As the fierce beast swallowed the beef jerky,
Zhao Ruo laughed too.
It turned out that while he was eating,
the capybara's little tongue had brushed against her palm.
It was ticklish and damp...
