Chapter 20: Battle is the strongest catalyst for enhancing evolutionary potential!
Having a leader is crucial for any intelligent species.
These ordinary void beasts, despite having a larger number of mutated fire bull beasts, were only thinking about escaping because the mutated fire bull beasts were far stronger than them.
But with Chen Yu and Ax's powerful suppression of those mutated fire bull beasts, almost all of them gained the courage to fight the mutated fire bull beasts.
In an instant, thousands of ordinary void beasts from all directions rushed toward the hundreds of mutated fire bull beasts that were besieging Chen Yu and Ex amidst a thunderous roar.
This change did not frighten the hundreds of mutated fire bull beasts, but it startled Chen Yu.
If these ordinary void beasts could also quickly advance by hunting mutated void beasts, that would be fine. After all, Chen Yu's attitude towards these ordinary void beasts has changed, and he considers them as comrades who have shared some of their "battle merits".
The key issue is that ordinary Void Beasts cannot quickly advance by hunting mutated Void Beasts; in other words, killing them is pointless.
How can this be allowed?
Waste is shameful!
Chen Yu's body moved like a phantom through the attacks of the mutated fire bull beasts, shouting loudly at the ordinary void beasts:
"Don't come any closer!"
"Everyone, I am very grateful for your kindness! But you should all know that X and I can advance quickly by hunting these mutated void beasts whose souls have been corrupted and eroded by heretics, so please trust X and me, we will definitely be able to kill them all."
Chen Yu's shouts were very effective.
As soon as he shouted, the ordinary void beasts rushing from all sides slowed down and stopped hundreds or thousands of meters away to watch.
"Kill us all?" A mutated fire bull beast sneered. "Human, you have quite the nerve. You and this worthless kin of yours who are subservient to humans dare to talk about killing us all? What a joke."
As he spoke, he stopped his attack rhythm, which immediately gave Chen Yu an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
Chen Yu's figure disappeared from the spot.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]
When it reappeared, it had already jumped above the head of the mutated fire bull beast that was speaking.
"You talk too much nonsense," Chen Yu said coldly.
In a very short time, he unleashed more than a dozen slashes with his Dragon Flame Battle Blade.
The blade flashed downwards.
The mutated fire bull's enormous body was as if it had been dismembered, falling to the ground as pieces of flesh.
However, the brief moment of airtime also gave the other mutated fire bull beasts an excellent opportunity to attack Chen Yu.
In an instant, more than a dozen cow hooves kicked Chen Yu.
With a loud "boom," the air collapsed.
Chen Yu let out a muffled groan as his body shot forward.
He quickly flipped his body in mid-air to dissipate the force before landing rapidly, and swung his knife at the hoof of the bull that had trampled him.
"Ah!" The bull's hoof was severed with a single stroke, and the mutated fire bull beast let out a hysterical scream.
After delivering the final blow, Chen Yu stood up, patted the spot where he had been kicked as if brushing off dust, and muttered to himself, "Although the Crimson Flame Armor can weaken attacks to only one-thousandth of their original strength, can it still have any effect on me when simultaneously withstanding attacks from more than a dozen mutated fire bull beasts?"
The thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Yu looked at Ex, who was constantly dodging attacks from mutated fire bull beasts and looking for an opportunity to attack, and shouted:
"Ex, be careful. If you are hit by more than a dozen attacks at the same time, you will definitely not be able to withstand it."
Ex's figure flashed in a twisting arc, tearing apart the leg of a mutated fire bull beast with one claw, grabbing its bones, and then slamming it down on five or six mutated fire bull beasts charging at him before shouting in response:
"I know, boss! I'm not stupid, how could I possibly get hit by them all at once? Only you, boss, relying on the protection of your smart armor, would be foolish enough to take more than a dozen attacks at the same time. If it weren't for the smart armor, you would have been dead just now."
Chen Yu: "..." His lips twitched.
Hey!
He just said those unnecessary things.
Next.
The battle between the two sides returned to that stalemate.
Chen Yu and Ax could only dodge attacks while searching for opportunities to kill one mutated fire bull beast after another.
Fourteen!
Fifteen!
Sixteen!
Time passes slowly under these circumstances.
Chen Yu felt like a long time had passed, but only five minutes had actually gone by.
When Chen Yu and Ex reached 33 mutated fire bull beasts, finally, one of them felt fear and roared in a trembling voice:
"Damn it! This human is too strong. Are we really going to be wiped out by him?"
Before he could finish speaking, another mutated fire bull beast sneered, "Useless! If you're afraid of dying, then get lost and stop getting in the way."
"This human and that damned Flame Dragon Beast are indeed very strong, but our numbers far exceed theirs. It won't be long before we exhaust their stamina and the cosmic energy within them."
"Then, hmph, they will be the ones who die."
The words of this mutated fire bull beast made all the mutated fire bull beasts present, whose hearts had been slightly wavering, firm up their eyes and make their killing desire even stronger.
Yes.
What can humans and that damned Flame Dragon Beast do, no matter how strong they are?
The difference in physical strength caused by the gap in level and the lack of cosmic energy will soon defeat both the human and the fire dragon beast.
This is true.
At this moment, Chen Yu's physical strength was almost exhausted, and the cosmic source energy in Aix's body was almost depleted. Even the speed-enhancing skills that the Wind Bird Beast Qingluan had applied to them were beginning to flicker with a blue light.
At this time.
Chen Yu's AI-powered computer, "Silly Girl," reminded him in its alluring, mature female voice: "Master, your friend Rao Yizhong has sent you a message informing you that Qingluan's mental energy is being depleted too quickly and she can only hold on for another half minute at most. He wants you and Ex to return to the spaceship to rest as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu immediately looked towards the distance and shouted, "Ex, let's go!"
The instant his shout subsided, two deafening explosions echoed across the earth, and two figures rose rapidly from the ground, appearing in the blink of an eye at the entrance of the D-class spaceship hovering in mid-air.
Immediately, the previously tightly closed hatch opened a crack two or three meters wide, and Chen Yu and Ax filed in.
The hatch closed tightly again the next moment.
Inside the Class D spaceship, seeing Chen Yu remove the headgear of his Crimson Flame Armor, revealing his head covered in sweat, while Ex collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, Zhou Xin and Rao Yizhong quickly approached and said to the man and beast:
"Yu-ge, X, you two should get some rest."
Zhou Xin took out two bottles of water from his spatial ring, opened the caps, and handed them to the man and the beast, saying, "Have a drink of water first."
Chen Yu took the bottle, took a sip, and was about to speak when suddenly—
"Buzz~"
"Buzz~"
"Buzz~"
Three beams of white light descended from the sky, penetrating the metal hull of the D-class spaceship and enveloping the three humans and three beasts.
Clearly, after the battle ended, the cosmic will of the Void Beast Universe bestowed upon them the reward of the Light of Evolution.
Not only that, Chen Yu also received feedback in his mind: "Congratulations, user! Your contracted beast, X, has grasped a rudimentary use of a new fire-attribute cosmic energy, evolution potential +38! Current evolution potential: 10049 (fifth tier)!"
Bathed in the light of evolution, Chen Yu was beaming with joy.
"You've grasped it again? Haha~ Moreover, this time it's a 38-point increase in evolution potential, which is seven or eight times more than the previous maximum."
Chen Yu and Ex had fought seven or eight mutated void beasts today, naturally increasing their evolutionary potential more than once.
But this time, the improvement was the greatest.
"Indeed, battle is the best catalyst for Void Beasts to enhance their evolutionary potential." He thought to himself with a slight smile.
