Chapter 360 The Bizarre Beast Tide
Chapter 360 The Bizarre Beast Tide
[Ding! Killed a prey, increasing the "Accomplice to a Tiger" skill proficiency by 17899! (154325/10000000)]
As the giant shrimp collapsed, a system notification sounded in Cang Nian's mind.
This brought a smile to his face.
Since evolving to the fourth tier, there are very few creatures that can outweigh him.
Only species that were already at the top of the food chain in the ocean, when they reached the third level, were heavier than the Cang Nian, which is now over eight tons.
This giant shrimp, weighing nearly eighteen tons, is only surpassed by evolved cetaceans.
After killing the giant shrimp, Cang Nian remembered the storage space authorization given to him by the little sable, so he used it with great interest.
Buzz~!
With a thought, a halo of light unfolded beneath the giant shrimp's corpse, and then the giant shrimp's corpse, along with its head, body, and a small section of its severed tail, fell into the halo of light.
If you concentrate, you can see that the three sections of the giant shrimp's corpse are lying quietly inside the storage space.
"Ow~!"
At this moment, Cangnian remembered that the little sable was still on his back, so he turned his head and let out a soft howl.
squeak...
The little sable squeaked weakly, indicating that it was alright.
Using its new skill consumed too much energy; now it has no spiritual power left.
Fortunately, it has evolved to the fourth tier. Even though the little sable is not an evolved creature known for its physical strength, the improvement in its physical abilities is still significant.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to withstand the explosive speed at which Cangnian moved back and forth during the battle between Cangnian and the giant shrimp.
"It seems... Little Sable's new skill is teleportation."
It looks somewhat similar to a portal, but there should be significant differences.
Given the significant changes in the surrounding environment, the difference must lie in the distance.
The maximum distance of the portal is ten kilometers, which is not far from the area I've been hunting these past few days, nor is it possible for it to appear in an environment I have no recollection of.
So, this isn't a peninsula... I don't know where I've been teleported to?
Next, Cangnian analyzed the situation in his mind.
"Ow~!"
Thinking of this, Cang Nian let out a howl and asked the little sable if it knew where it had been teleported to.
squeak...
The little sable squeaked weakly, its voice sounding somewhat guilty.
It has just acquired a new skill and is too eager to show it off, but it hasn't yet mastered how to use it.
Therefore, it didn't know how far it had traveled, nor where it had ended up...
"..."
After hearing this, Cang Nian's lips twitched.
Well, now I really have no idea where it got into.
However, Cangnian was not too panicked.
My speed is very fast. Even though the speed attribute has a diminishing effect in real-world use, maintaining a stable speed of 1000 Sonic in the long run is still not a problem.
As long as we're on Earth, no matter how far away a place is, it's only a matter of a dozen or so hours.
Of course, before returning to the peninsula, you need to determine where you are first.
Otherwise, having speed and mobility without geographical reference is like a greenbottle fly wandering aimlessly.
"In that case, let's first look for traces left by humans in the vicinity."
Only human traces can provide accurate and precise location information.
Judging from the environment here, it shouldn't be some desolate island. Hopefully, humans have lived here before..."
After some thought, Cangnian quickly made a simple plan for the next step.
Da da da~!
Just then, Cang Nian's ears twitched, and he vaguely heard the sound of gunfire.
"Huh? There's a human army here?"
This made Cang Nian very happy.
Then, with a leap, he took the little sable into the air.
Lifted by the strong wind, he stood in mid-air and could see a much farther range.
The marine life that had come ashore stretched for more than ten kilometers.
A dozen kilometers away, the terrain changed from sandy beaches to rocky hills.
The hilly, rocky mountain, about one or two hundred meters high, has several crevices that have been filled with walls made of wood, rock, and other materials.
On these walls, many people are holding guns and firing down from their vantage point to stop the marine creatures that have reached the walls and come ashore.
However, judging from the scale of this sea monster tide, the humans on the wall are not enough to stop such a large tide.
"We need to make contact as soon as possible to pinpoint the location, otherwise, once they're all dead, we'll have to find other human survivors..."
Upon seeing this, Cang Nian's spirits lifted.
Thinking this, he flew toward the wall.
Cang Nian moved very quickly, and in no time he arrived at the wall.
Here, the sound of human survivors firing their weapons was already extremely intense.
As humans opened fire, the marine creatures that had rushed to the wall were shot through the body and had their heads blown off, before collapsing heavily to the ground.
But this is just a drop in the ocean.
Once the evolved creatures in front are shot down, the evolved creatures behind will quickly take their place.
Moreover, as these bizarre evolved creatures died, their corpses piled up higher and higher, allowing the next evolved creatures to step on their bodies and get closer to the top of the wall.
If this continues, the humans here won't be able to hold out for long.
"Aren't these evolved creatures, which look like Frankenstein's monsters, afraid of dying?"
Seeing this, Cang Nian frowned slightly.
He hadn't noticed the giant shrimp he had killed earlier.
But once he got here, he realized that these evolved creatures didn't seem to be very intelligent.
In general, evolved organisms will have significantly improved intelligence, reaching the level of ordinary humans.
However, even without an increase in IQ, the fear of death should be something etched deep into our genes.
As a result, these evolved creatures, completely unafraid of death, charged fiercely at the humans on the wall, only to be easily shot dead.
Cangnian had only ever seen such a situation during insect swarms.
"Wait, do they not have superpowers? Or do they not know how to use superpowers?"
Then, Cangnian discovered that these evolved creatures were too easy to die.
The evolutionary level of the creatures here is not low.
Judging from their size, the second-tier creatures are the basic ones, but there are also quite a few third-tier evolved creatures mixed in.
There might even be giant shrimp, which could be considered fourth-order evolved creatures.
However, any evolved creature, when faced with human gunfire, simply charges in with brute force, without any strategy or other methods.
It seemed to be nothing more than a ferocious beast with a large body but no intelligence.
This made Cangnian even more puzzled.
However, his current focus is not on observing these evolving creatures, but on obtaining the specific geographical location of this place from the local human survivors, and then returning to the peninsula.
He didn't care whether these survivors lived or died.
Of course, he wouldn't mind helping them out as a reward if they revealed the answer they wanted.
