The next day, Yang Tian woke up early. It was past seven in the morning.
After eating some leftover barbecue from last night, Yang Tian packed up his equipment, carried his grandfather's combat backpack, and set off again with the Little Blue Dragon.
This time, Yang Tian wanted to hunt Level 2 beasts and find more beast nuclei. He wanted to exchange them for what he needed in the restricted area outside Tianxiong City.
Hunting beasts and obtaining their nuclei could not only help him gain more beast nuclei, but he could also train his combat skills.
To humans, this was an unfortunate world, but to the strong and the rich, it was an extremely blessed world.
After consuming the beast nuclei, one's body would no longer fall sick. Unless one was killed by humans or beasts, one could live up to 150 years old and die naturally.
With a long life, one would have more time to enjoy life.
Other than Tianxiong City, there were also many people living in the restricted area.
Those who lived in the restricted area, especially the strong men, would always find opportunities to try their luck in the free area.
They would not act alone, but in groups of dozens. They would use their savings to buy weapons and search for low-level beasts.
If they were lucky, they would find the beast nuclei after killing the beasts. After selling them, everyone would get a share of the money.
Even if they did not find the beast nuclei, they could bring back a large amount of meat as rations, as well as the materials from the beasts. After selling them, they could also make some money.
This was a normal situation.
What was unexpected was that after finding the beast nuclei, dozens of people would fight each other to get it. The last person who survived would have the chance to become an Enhancer.
Yang Tian had seen this in his grandfather's notebook.
Yang Tian followed the path he took yesterday and crossed the bridge. After walking for an hour and entering a mountain path, he heard gunshots in front of him.
Out of curiosity, he followed the path and ran quickly in the direction of the gunshots.
Five minutes later, Yang Tian appeared behind a large rock by the side of the road. He stuck his head out and looked ahead.
He saw more than ten people shooting at each other. These people were shooting and cursing at the same time. From time to time, someone would be shot and fall, screaming in pain.
From their curses, Yang Tian could tell that these people were fighting over a newly obtained Grade 1 Beast Nucleus.
Yang Tian naturally wouldn't care about this kind of thing. He retracted his head, leaned against the big rock, and waited quietly.
Ten minutes later, the gunshots suddenly stopped.
Yang Tian thought that the winner had been decided. Just as he was about to get up to check on the situation, he heard a scream. Then, someone shouted, "Let's stop fighting!
It's a level two exotic beast! Run! "
"Zzz … zzz … zzz …"
Immediately after, there was the sound of thunder and lightning, and the sound of messy footsteps could be heard.
Yang Tian curiously stood up and looked behind the big rock. He saw eight or nine people being chased by a huge yellow lizard.
The running speed of these people was obviously not as fast as Giant Lucid. The person who fell behind was curled up by Giant Lucid's long tongue and was swallowed into its stomach.
Level 2 Tank Lizard!
Yang Tian was shocked. He immediately recognized this Giant Lizard.
Its body was ten meters long and three meters tall. When it crawled, it was like a heavy tank. The trees in front of it were broken, and the big rocks were crushed by it.
These people were killing each other for the sake of obtaining the Beast Nucleus. They didn't deserve any sympathy.
Looking at their running speed, Yang Tian estimated that they would be swallowed by the Tank Lizard before they could reach here.
But seeing the fear and despair on their faces, the newbie Yang Tian's heart softened. He pulled out his dagger, went around the big rock in front of him, and went up to meet them.
There were seven people left.
These people saw Yang Tian rushing up with a dagger, as if they saw their savior.
They could tell that Yang Tian was at least an Enhancer.
Because only an Enhancer could have such speed.
"Ah …"
The person running at the back was curled up by the Tank Lizard's tongue.
Just as his scream came out of his throat, he was swallowed into the stomach of the Tank Lizard.
This wasn't an American movie, where people could still survive after being swallowed into the stomach of a python.
The stomach of the Tank Lizard was filled with highly corrosive digestive fluid. It could turn a person into a skeleton in an instant.
Even metal could be melted by its digestive fluid.
Being swallowed by the Tank Lizard was a dead end!
There were six people left. Yang Tian passed by them one by one, and went up to meet the Tank Lizard.
Seeing that someone actually took the initiative to send himself to death, the Tank Lizard paused. It opened its mouth wide, and spat out a long tongue covered in mucus towards Yang Tian.
The Tank Lizard's tongue was extremely fast. As long as an ordinary person entered its attack range, they wouldn't be able to dodge its tongue.
But Yang Tian had gone through enhancements. Whether it was strength or speed, he surpassed an ordinary person. When the Tank Lizard's tongue was about to reach him, he stopped abruptly and rolled to the side of the road, dodging the Tank Lizard's tongue.
Taking the opportunity when it retracted its tongue, Yang Tian stomped on the ground and rushed under the Tank Lizard's stomach.
Humans had been fighting with exotic beasts for decades, and they had come up with many combat techniques to deal with them.
For example, when dealing with the Tank Lizard, it was best to tangle with it and not give it the chance to spit out its tongue. Its tongue was simply too powerful. It spat out and retracted at lightning speed.
The Tank Lizard's weakness was its stomach.
Although its entire body was covered in hard and smooth scales, the scales on its stomach were the thinnest and thinnest.
After rushing under the Tank Lizard's stomach, Yang Tian stabbed the dagger hard into the Tank Lizard's stomach. He then pulled the dagger, leaving a wound a few feet long on the Tank Lizard's stomach.
In that instant, Yang Tian saw the membrane in the Tank Lizard's stomach.
Although the stab was deep, it didn't pierce into the Tank Lizard's stomach and hurt its internal organs.
Feeling the pain, the Tank Lizard let out a pained cry. Its four legs trembled rapidly. Suddenly, it rushed forward over ten meters and slapped down with its huge tail.
Seeing the Tank Lizard's tail slapping down, Yang Tian didn't dare to take it head on. He crouched down and rolled on the ground.
"Bang!"
The Tank Lizard's huge tail slapped the ground, creating a loud sound.
The rocks on the ground were smashed into smithereens.
Yang Tian had just gotten up when the Tank Lizard turned around and opened its mouth.
"Damn!"
Yang Tian was shocked. He got up and threw himself forward.
A gust of wind blew past him from behind, bringing with it a fishy smell.
Yang Tian knew that the danger was not over yet. This big fellow's tongue was incomparably nimble. When it retracted its tongue, it could even turn. Taking advantage of the moment when the Tank Lizard retracted its tongue, Yang Tian used both his legs to kick off a large rock. Borrowing the reaction force, his body slid several meters along the hard ground.
The danger was not over yet!
When Yang Tian's body stopped, the Tank Lizard opened its mouth again and stuck out its tongue, which was covered in mucus, at Yang Tian.
Thankfully, there was a pine tree with a diameter of a bowl beside Yang Tian. He took the opportunity to dodge behind the pine tree.
The Tank Lizard's crimson tongue brushed past the pine tree. When it retracted its tongue, it curled around the pine tree. With a tug, the Tank Lizard uprooted the pine tree and tossed it aside.
