Chapter 274: Chapter 272 The Most Ferocious Beast_1

Strange-looking evolution fish began to float on the surface of the lake, belly-up. The air was filled with a tantalizing aroma, but no one here had the slightest appetite.

Corpses of varying sizes floated on the surface of the lake, pushed to Tang Ye’s side by the waves created by the dragon’s movements.

Four helicopters began to lure the dragon away from the ground troops, buying them some time. They hovered just above the dragon’s head, giving the beast the illusion it could reach them if it only stretched its neck a bit further!

The pilots of these armed helicopters were indeed playing with their own lives.

After ten heat pressure bombs had fired, everyone, including Tang Ye, could feel the dragon’s mighty presence shrinking. The group was excited, while Tang Ye was itching to act.

He licked his lips, his triangular, terrifying teeth glinting chillingly.

The greed in Tang Ye’s eyes became more intense. He had wanted to dash forward several times to slay this dragon creature, but reason kept telling him that the timing wasn’t right yet, which made Tang Ye suppress his impulses.

"Hurry! Hurry up!"

Hong Zaiyi, standing nearby, was yelling at the bustling soldiers. Some people were hauling the useless anti-aircraft sponsor into the transport plane, while others were bringing out a huge silvery weapon from it.

When Tang Ye saw this thing, his eyes narrowed. He naturally recognized what it was - a quantum weapon!

He had heard that this weapon could kill a Level 5 zombie in one hit, but no one had ever verified this. Currently, there were no known creatures that had evolved to Level 5, with most stuck at Levels 1 or 2, and even fewer reaching Levels 3 or 4!

This included every creature on Earth. Among humans on the Chinese Continent, there were no more than five Level 4 New Humans!

Although new humans of Level 3 and above could obtain deep-seated evolution by consuming the Evolution Crystal of high-level zombies, how easy was it to kill high-level zombies?

The creature evolved into a dragon in front of them should also be Level 4. Yet, due to its gigantic size, Tang Ye didn’t have absolute certainty of victory.

Back at the Yindan Base, he had been blasted through by this quantum weapon.

As soon as the Quantum Cannon was raised, the helicopters in the sky instantly changed direction and led it towards Hong Zaiyi’s position.

It seemed like they knew that the dragon couldn’t do anything to them, the pilots of these armed helicopters even dared to hover over the back of its neck, quickly retreating before it could turn its head.

This mockery infuriated the simple-minded dragon even more. It roared in anger and dived into the water.

All the pilots were in a daze - was this off-script?

Seeing the dragon hide in the water at this critical juncture, an urgent expression came over Hong Zaiyi’s face. They were so close to achieving their goal, but now it had slipped away. How could he accept this?

This creature that had evolved into a dragon-like creature had reached Level 4, and its intelligence was similar to a 5 to 6-year-old child. Because of its intelligence, Hong Zaiyi had intentionally provoked its anger, pushing it into a state where it felt compelled to tear its enemies to pieces!

This was done to prevent it from hiding in the water. The prerequisite for inciting such anger required an intelligent target, which this dragon-like creature possessed. But now, when they were about to succeed, it had fled into the lake?

This was truly beyond his expectations.

But now, with the dragon hiding in the lake, Hong Zaiyi was truly helpless. The powerful heat pressure bombs had been used up and the other shells couldn’t force it out again.

In contrast to Hong Zaiyi’s eagerness, Tang Ye appeared much more composed. He didn’t believe that the dragon had fled due to being outmatched. In the moment before the dragon dived into the lake, he had seen endless rage burning in its eyes.

People tend to lose their rationality when they are extremely angry, much less an evolution creature whose intelligence could be described as impaired?

It must have dived into the water to prepare some sort of counterattack.

Once again, Tang Ye was right. The mighty dragon dived into the lake. Not even a minute passed when it suddenly burst out again.

Everyone rejoiced, and the helicopters quickly circled around. Unexpectedly, a gaping maw appeared before several pilots and soldiers.

Some had a sudden bad feeling. Some pilots began to pilot their helicopters to increase the distance, but it was too late...

Fzzt!

A thick water column spouted from the dragon’s mouth. Like a high-pressure water gun, it hit two of the armed helicopters which were unable to avoid in time.

Ding!

The fierce water column smacked against the steel plate of the military helicopter, directly knocking it towards the ground!

Roar～!!

With a roar, the water column in its mouth continued without end, insanely sweeping towards the other helicopters in flight. It turned out that it had dived into the lake to take in water, and then came out to use that water to attack these pesky "flies" in the air.

Yes, flies!

Despite the large size of the armed helicopters, which could carry five or six people, compared to this dragon-like evolution creature, they were nothing but annoying flies!

Two expensive military helicopters crashed within a short period of time. Hong Zaiyi’s face turned pale, followed by a surge of anger!

"Faster, I need speed!"

Hearing Hong Zaiyi’s furious roars, the soldiers set the Quantum Cannon toward the enormous dragon and began adjusting the distance.

"Fire!"

Whoosh!

A beam of blue light tufted across and bombarded the dragon’s elongated body. In an instant, the radiation in the blue light decomposed the cells on its body. Scales exploded, flesh was corroded, large chunks slid off, presenting a sight too gruesome to look at.

Roar...

This evolved creature roared once. Agony was evident in its tone but no one cared whether it was in pain or not. Right now, everyone wanted to kill it to obtain the Evolution Crystal Core lodged in its brain!

Seeing that it was still alive, Hong Zaiyi roared again, "Keep going, kill it!"

Whoosh!

Another beam of blue light directly hit its neck. It let out a sorrowful howl, its eyes filled with resentment as it glared in the direction the blue light had come from!

Roar!

Finally, this dragon, having taken heavy damage, unleashed its ferocity. It drew in a deep breath and a water column, thicker than the one before, rapidly shot towards them!

The soldiers, pushing the Quantum Cannon, constantly retreated and took cover inside a nearby building. The water column was extremely fierce, instantly tearing down the building, but by then, the flow of water was slowly decreasing, its belly now devoid of any water.

Whoosh!

The blue light from the quantum weapon fired once more, it seemed that these soldiers had no intention of letting it go!

The blue light veered off slightly, scraping its skin and flesh, leaving a deep gully. Its blood flowed like a small stream, turning the water in the area where it was located, crimson.

Its presence had weakened, but a cornered beast’s fight was most fierce not when it was safe, but when it was in the greatest danger!

At such times, powerful beasts would unleash their greatest strength!

It seemed to have had enough of these ants. It no longer paid any attention to the armed helicopters in the sky. Instead, it dove into the water and swam as fast as it could towards the soldiers!
