These people looked resolute, and each had a rifle or submachine gun on their backs and even heavy weapons like grenade launchers in their tents.

They were the mercenaries hired by Howard Lee.

Although they were ordinary people, they were experienced in traversing the mountains and forests, and their combat capabilities were strong, specializing in searching and capturing ordinary mutated creatures.

Of course, the mutated creatures they had captured before were common creatures with some traces of mutation, not even at the level of Level 1 Mutated Beasts.

So, this time they suffered losses; four out of the nine members died on their way to track the Mutated Beast.

However, since they were in this line of work for money, they were mentally prepared and didn’t harbor any dissatisfaction or resentment.

Upon seeing Howard Lee getting off the car, the burliest middle-aged man from Koroya greeted him warmly: “Boss, you’re here.”

Howard Lee spoke solemnly, “Take care of the car for me. After we come out, I will transfer the remaining payment to you.”

“No problem, boss.”

“Boss, this is the map I drew. I marked all the locations with dangerous Mutated Beasts on it.” The mercenary handed Howard Lee a piece of sheepskin.

While they were speaking, Jack Clark and the others also got off the car, wearing small backpacks with supplies and holding their weapons in hand.

The path ahead was filled with dangers, so it was safest to keep the weapons close at hand.

However, as the mercenaries saw the long knife, heavy shield, heavy hammer, and iron column Howard Lee carried, awe was evident on their faces.

As the four strode into the mountains, the burliest man couldn’t help but shout, “Boss, be careful, especially of the common mutated poisonous insects and poisonous snakes.”

“Don’t underestimate them.”

Of course, this mercenary wasn’t that kind-hearted.

He was mainly worried that these Federal geniuses might die carelessly, causing him not only to lose the remaining payment but also bring trouble upon himself.

In response, Howard Lee simply waved his hand, signaling that he understood.

After breaking through the Third Layer Heaven, Marcus Lee’s physique, the weakest among the four, was more than ten times stronger than an ordinary person, with his arm strength exceeding 1,000 kilograms.

Even wearing heavy armor and holding heavy weapons, they moved like the wind in the mountain forest, walking on the road when there was one and jumping directly across the mountain gaps and cliffs when there wasn’t.

They traversed two mountain peaks in just half an hour with their astonishing speed.

As for the weeds and thorns on the way, the ordinary poisonous insects and snakes were ignored, as they were unable to cause any hindrance to the four in their full battle armor.

However, after running over thirty kilometers…

Bang!

A 2-meter-long iron column covered with Red True Power smashed down, producing a raging wind, and a wild boar weighing more than a thousand jin was instantly crushed into minced meat.

Overbearing as ever.

Howard Lee, who had killed the wild boar, shook the iron column in his embrace. The True Power shook off the blood and flesh stuck to it, and he slammed it onto his shoulder. With the four over one-meter-long curved angles as a backdrop, he looked like a demon.

This wild boar was just a small intermission.

The four continued on their way, and suddenly, Jack Clark swung the knife in his hand, cutting through the side forest, and a four-meter-long colorful poisonous snake was sliced in half.

After a glance at the snake’s corpse, the four continued to rush forward calmly. But after traveling another few kilometers, Marcus Lee suddenly leaped high into the air and slammed the heavy hammer down with force.

Bang! The dead leaves in front exploded in an instant.

A 2-meter-long, brown-spotted camouflage Giant Lizard had its head blown open, splattering flesh and blood while emitting a strong smell of blood.

Justin Welan couldn’t help but complain, “Damn, why do these animals seem so aggressive?”

Jack Clark shook his head, “Not only are they aggressive, but these creatures have also shown signs of mutation. Although their strength is only slightly stronger than ordinary creatures, it’s not a good sign.”

At these words, the faces of the others also turned somber.

They usually lived in cities, where they could buy everything they needed from markets, so they had no idea how serious the situation in the deep mountains and wild forests had become.

There were aggressive wild creatures everywhere, and many of them had faint signs of mutation on their bodies.

And this was the case in Koroya, a poor and barren place. What about in the energy-rich Eastern Summer?

With Eastern Summer’s environment and vastness, the number of mutated creatures in their deep mountains and wild forests would only be more numerous and terrifying.

No wonder the government organizes senior students from various universities to hunt Mutated Beasts every year while sending the military to blockade several dangerous mountain ranges.

Officials from local armed departments also frequently clear out nearby wild areas, nipping these dangerous mutated creatures in the bud for ordinary people.

However, they had a faint vision of a terrifying future where mutated creatures covered the mountains and plains.

Soon, the four progressed another ten kilometers deep into the mountains. As they passed by the foot of a mountain, a ferocious roar echoed from above.

Roar!

A giant black bear with a shoulder height of more than 2 meters, a body length of 5 meters, and a weight of more than two tons rushed down from the mountain forest, apparently treating the four as prey invading its territory.

Justin Welan was immediately excited, “Don’t take action, let me handle this.”

On the way, it was mainly the other three who took action, easily slaying the mutated creatures that attacked them, which made Justin Welan eager to flex his muscles.

Justin Welan’s body was then covered in the light of Mysterious Martial Thick Earth, which, together with his heavy shield, emitted a heavy, mountainous atmosphere.

“Kill!”

In a battle cry, Justin Welan, like an armored Mysterious Martial beast, charged toward the Mutated Black Bear rushing down from the mountains. In the blink of an eye, both collided.

Boom! Amidst the violent impact, the earthen light surged, dirt exploded under Justin Welan’s feet, and the ground shook. But his seemingly much smaller figure remained unfazed.

In contrast, the bear that collided with him let out a scream, with over a dozen bloody holes in its side from the spikes on the heavy shield, and it was knocked more than ten meters away by the terrifying counterforce.

Half-covered in blood, the black bear rolled a few times upon landing, struggled a little, and then stopped moving.

This was the power of the Mysterious Martial Thick Earth Formula – not only was its defense formidable, but it also had a certain degree of counterforce at the First Layer.

Now that Justin Welan had broken through the Third Realm, the counterforce of his heavy shield was even more powerful, killing the black bear with the addition of his own charging power.

Of course, the black bear appeared so vulnerable only because it was a Level 1 Mutated Beast.

Marcus Lee shouted, “Justin Welan, stop showing off! It’s just a Level 1 Mutated Beast. Hurry up and let’s go.”

“Damn it!” Justin Welan flipped him the middle finger, couldn’t he show off just a little longer?
