The harvest was astounding, the Flame Demon
When entering the mountain, it only took the two of them half an hour, but it took Chen Chu nearly two hours to carry out almost seventeen tons of mutated beasts. There was no helping it; the mutated beasts were so large that in many places in the mountains, they couldn't run. If they weren't getting stuck between trees, they were being dragged by something else.
At such moments, Chen Chu would unleash his true power, forcibly crashing a path open. Therefore, by the time he emerged from the mountain, even he was a bit out of breath.
Bang! Chen Chu exerted himself to throw the bundled mutated beast bodies onto the truck from the side, causing the tires to sink slightly, with part of the tiger and giant lizard bodies hanging outside.
The bodies of mutated beasts measuring eight meters in length were a bit too much for this extended medium-sized truck, which was already completely overloaded. However, Chen Chu could no longer care about such details.
Chen Chu exhaled, feeling good as he looked at Luo Fei who had followed behind. "Let's go, get in the truck."
Not bothering to wipe the bloodstains on his body, Chen Chu sat in the driver's seat. After Luo Fei sat in the passenger seat, he started the truck. The vehicle shook and struggled to pull the massive bodies of the mutated beasts as it headed towards the small town.
"Wow! Mommy, what a big tiger."
"Damn, who’s this fierce person? In just half a day, they killed four mutated beasts: a mutated tiger and a giant lizard, both possibly third-level."
"The new students nowadays are incredible."
"Yeah, I remember last year's big cleanup task; the armed forces here struggled to take down even a single third-level mutated beast."
As a town beneath Changbai Mountain, the residents here often saw mutated beasts, and some were retired soldiers with cultivation skills, giving the place a rugged atmosphere.
Many of the online pictures and videos of mutated beasts came from these people venturing into the mountains to capture them, some even making a living out of it.
They not only shot videos but also helped capture and sell some of the tamer mutated creatures as high-end pets, creating an alternative commercial line.
However, at this time, it wasn't just Chen Chu and Luo Fei; there were also other students returning after completing their tasks.
The mutated beast bodies on their vehicles were comparatively smaller, most being only level one or two.
The staff in the logistics department of the armed forces, who were ordinary people, felt a bit awkward. "Could you please help us with the mutated beast bodies?"
"No problem."
Chen Chu stood by the truck, grabbing the bundled mutated beast bodies with both hands. His arm muscles bulged as he lifted them, and with a thud, he tossed them onto the ground.
Immediately, the vines binding them snapped, and the bodies of the four mutated beasts spread out, occupying half of the room.
This sight left the staff member envious.
Unfortunately, his talent back in the day was not good; he hadn't even reached the foundation establishment after two months of cultivation.
"Two third-level mutated cloud pattern tigers, one unicorn lizard, and a golden eagle, accumulating a total of seventy-two contribution points, have been transferred to your student ID."
"Thank you." Chen Chu smiled.
At this pace, he might be able to gather 300 points in three days.
Of course, it was mainly because of his overwhelming combat power, achieving almost instant kills. Even Luo Fei could one-shot these third-level mutated beasts.
After all, her weapon was too unconventional; though it was said to be weak in close combat, the problem was getting close enough to realize that.
Another advantage was the official precise positioning of the tasks, saving them a lot of time.
If they could just kill without having to clean up, Chen Chu could complete over a dozen third-level tasks in a day, directly accumulating hundreds of contribution points.
But that was impossible, as the official aim was to "temper" these new students.
