CHAPTER 3: Blood-Soaked Cannibalism
Outside on the balcony, Chen Chu seemed to be basking in the sun and resting, but in reality, he had already sunk into a deep awareness and arrived at the side of the heavy armored beast.
It had been over forty days since its second evolution.
After continuous eating and evolution, the heavy armored beast's body had bulged further, appearing robust and heavy, like a crocodile clad in armor.
Especially the three pairs of feathered horns on either side of its head, bright red as blood, measuring half a meter long, with sharp red spikes standing upright, giving the heavy armored beast a fierce and imposing appearance.
In the dark waters over twenty meters deep, the heavy armored beast had its limbs resting by its sides, and its thick tail swayed slightly as it searched for suitable food.
Biu!
At that moment, a shadow, fast as lightning, flashed past in front of it; had the heavy armored beast not been observing its surroundings, it might not have noticed it at all.
Biu! A barely perceptible sound of water slicing through the surface rang out, and the shadow reappeared, this time flashing past from behind the heavy armored beast.
“What is that? So fast,” the heavy armored beast was slightly startled.
Since entering the water, it had consumed no fewer than two hundred ordinary mutated fish of various species, but it had never encountered one so fast.
Even the fish that had left white marks on its abdomen back then was not comparable.
Biu!
Just as Chen Chu was puzzled, the shadow darted past the left side of the heavy armored beast. Due to the depth of the water and being more than ten meters away, it was hard to see the creature's specific appearance.
But it was evident that this mutated fish had set its sights on the heavy armored beast.
The current circumnavigating behavior of this mutated fish should be for observation, looking for a suitable moment to launch an attack.
Since you're offering yourself up, I won't be polite, thought the heavy armored beast as it swayed its tail, slowly swimming forward as if it hadn't noticed the mutated fish.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind the heavy armored beast, moving at a terrifying speed, and a large mouth full of sharp fangs lunged at its tail.
Because it moved too quickly, the heavy armored beast only reacted when it felt a bite on its tail.
Bang! The impact energy from the rapid movement knocked the heavy armored beast over, and then… crack! A row of teeth mixed with blood slowly sank in the water.
The attempt to kill the heavy armored beast failed, and the mutated fish's mouth was broken instead. In pain, it hurriedly released its grip and tried to escape, but could it come and go as it pleased?
Boom!
At the moment it released the tail, the water exploded, and the heavy armored beast's muscles erupted, suddenly turning around and swiping a claw at the mutated fish.
Its movement speed might not be fast, but that didn't mean its close-range attack speed was slow.
With a hundredfold muscle explosion, the left claw of the heavy armored beast slammed down on the back of the mutated fish with a terrifying force, crushing its body in two like a heavy artillery shell underwater.
The terrifying power did not diminish; it created a shockwave in the water that stirred up a violent current, which only calmed after surging out over ten meters.
As it grew in size, the heavy armored beast's strength became increasingly terrifying, boasting unmatched defense at its level and a hundredfold explosive power that was completely disproportionate to its size.
Only then did the heavy armored beast clearly see what the mutated fish looked like.
In the murky blood-stained river, two sections of the over two-meter-long mutated fish, shaped like a long flat knife, slowly floated. Its body was covered in gray scales.
On the back of this mutated fish, a row of fins spread like a sailboat's mast, and its head was ferocious, resembling a sea wolf's long and narrow mouth filled with sharp teeth.
