“Jack Clark, you caught up with it and killed it so quickly!” Freya Louise was somewhat surprised.
This Mutated Beast was known for its speed, having an instantaneous burst of almost 150 meters per second. Moreover, it was quite familiar with the surrounding jungle.
If it were only Freya, she would have to give up on the chase, as this stealthy, agile creature was too difficult for her to handle.
“It’s fine. This Mutated Beast had a fast short-distance burst, but couldn’t maintain it for long. It only ran a few kilometers before I caught up and killed it with one strike.”
“Let’s go, our next target is the mountain giant bear.” The tasks they received were all in a straight line, but they would have to travel around a hundred kilometers along the mountain range.
One of the beasts was extremely cautious and remained submerged in a deep pool throughout the year. It was a Mutated Blue Bull, and they would need Freya’s help to lure it out.
“The Level 3 Mutant Beast missions are gone!?”
At a little past three in the afternoon, Jack Clark and Freya Louise, who had completed their tasks, stood in front of the counter, looking somewhat speechless at the flashing map on the big screen.
“Yes, that’s right, students.” The polite female staff member behind the counter replied.
“Currently, the Long White Mountain range, bordering this area, stretches for over two hundred kilometers, with a depth of one hundred kilometers. There are only twenty-one Level 3 Mutant Beasts within this range with confirmed traces.”
“In the span of these two days, you’ve killed nine of them, while the twelve other Level 3 Mutants have been slain by other students. Now they have all been cleared out.”
“However, these are only the Level 3 Mutant Beasts detected around the mountain range. There are still some Mutant Beasts deep in the mountains that have not been discovered yet.”
“We’ll have to wait for the reconnaissance team to venture deeper into the mountains with their equipment, then they’ll provide feedback and generate missions based on that.”
“If you don’t want to wait, you can also venture deep into the mountains yourselves. For these undiscovered Level 3 Mutant Beasts, the Logistics Department will pay you 20 contribution points as a reward.”
The vast Long White Mountain range stretches for thousands of kilometers, with the widest parts being three to four hundred kilometers wide. With countless mountain peaks and valleys throughout, even officials cannot monitor every area.
Right after the staff finished speaking, Carney Lee, not far away, said with some disbelief, “Jack Clark, aren’t you guys a bit too overpowered? You killed ten Level 3 Mutant Beasts in less than two days.”
“I was wondering why there were so many Level 3 missions yesterday, but they were gone this morning. I can’t believe you killed them all.”
Carney Lee was also a Third Layer Heaven student of the South Sky Martial Height. He had met Jack Clark back when they had traveled to Koroya at the Kaleb Tuul City.
Carney had some bad luck today, having just missed out on a Level 3 mission, and thus had just come back from completing a Level 2 one.
Jack Clark smiled, “Well, what can 1 do about it? It’s not my fault that you guys are slow. I only killed half of them, anyway.”
As if there’s any difference. Carney Lee was speechless.
As they chatted, Jack Clark’s gaze fell on the Level 2 missions.
He had his fill of mindlessly searching for Level 3 Mutant Beasts in the depths of the mountains.
Not only would it take a lot of time and effort to find them, but carrying the Mutated Beasts back would be very troublesome. It might take three or four days just to kill one Mutant Beast.
Under these circumstances, it was naturally more cost-effective to choose the surrounding Level 2 Mutant Beasts with confirmed locations. They would wait for Level 3 missions to be refreshed before taking them on again.
Fortunately, there were still quite a few Level 2 missions available since the other students weren’t very efficient in completing them.
Jack Clark’s eyes lit up when he saw a freshly-refreshed Mutated Beast Horde mission.
A forest of wild peach trees, each standing ten to twenty meters tall, was home to a group of gray monkeys with massive split claws, ranging in height from two to four meters.
In the bright afternoon sunlight, some of these clawed gray monkeys sat basking in the sun, while others played and frolicked amongst the branches.
As a Mutated Beast Horde, their numbers allowed them to dominate this part of the forest, with all fruits and ordinary creatures included in their diet.
Even other Mutated Creatures knew about this group of Mutated Gray Monkeys and didn’t dare invade their territories.
But today… BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG’.!
Amidst the air burst, two Level 2 Gray Monkeys and five Level 1 Gray Monkeys had their heads and chests blasted open with huge bloody holes, instantly killing them.
CHIRP, CHIRP, CHIRP, CHIRP!!
The sudden turn of events threw the monkey horde into chaos, with the remaining few screaming in terror as they dashed into the peach forest. BOOM! The howling gale accompanied Jack Clark as he charged into the peach forest, with a loud explosion of air. Wearing battle boots, Jack Clark stepped on the sturdy trunk of a tree, causing its bark to crack.
The recoil sent Jack Clark leaping high into the air, more than ten meters, before he swung his long knife down. The blade momentarily brushed the neck of a gray monkey attempting to elude him amongst the branches.
Jack Clark then plunged down like a cannonball.
THUD! The dirt beneath Jack Clark’s feet exploded.
At that moment, he spun around and slashed with his long knife, its black edge slicing through the approaching gray monkey, which stood over three meters tall, with blood red eyes.
Jack Clark then lunged forward, aiming to take down the last gray monkey perched high up on a tree.
With one overbearing punch, the gray monkey’s arms shattered, its chest caved in, and it flew back in a burst, breaking the peach tree behind it.
Under Jack Clark’s relentless pursuit, the trio of clawed gray monkeys that had fled into the forest were wiped out in the blink of an eye.
But when the bloodstained Jack Clark, wearing battle armor, carried the corpses of the three Mutated Beasts out and laid them down in the open space, both Freya Louise and he hesitated for a brief moment.
Freya hesitated: “Tie them up?”
Jack hesitated as well, “…No need, just tie their tails together and drag them along.”
“Alright…”
A thirty-meter long “train” of Mutated Beast corpses soon appeared in the mountain forest, with every creature in their path retreating in horror.
In the evening, when a truck loaded with gray monkey corpses returned to the small town, many students who had already arrived back were shocked..
