Dark Moon Era - Chapter 101: Level 3 Vicious Beast

Chapter 101: Level 3 Vicious Beast

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Watching that indomitable and enormous monster with its unknown abilities terrorize the land, Tang Ling’s forehead was drenched in sweat whilst his mind was running wild with all sorts of thoughts.

“This era… Has even the oxygen level changed?”

If the oxygen level was the same as the old civilization, it was impossible for such a huge monster to exist because the concentration of oxygen in the air was not enough to support a living being this size.

So what if the concentration of oxygen in the current era was higher than the old? What would happen to humans then?

Oxygen toxicity would happen because the lungs of humans could not bear the high concentration.

Besides, if the current atmosphere contained higher oxygen concentration, the human body would surely evolve drastically to adapt to the era, so why did the humans remain the same as those from the old civilization?

Or had the unknown changes in the speed and strength of humans become a type of evolution? Would all of those capabilities require an environment with a higher concentration of oxygen?

What kind of an era is this?  Tang Ling’s thoughts were in a mess. He could not link the limited knowledge in his mind to the bits and pieces of his observations in the current era.

In fact, even if he had a strong memory, simply reading for a few days would not allow him to understand that much.

In the past few days, he felt like he was in a strange replay mode. As long as he came across theories that he read from books, even after just a glance, or theories he could not understand, he would be able to think of some related knowledge or similar information after pondering over it for a while.

For example, after reading about the Pythagoras’ Theorem, he was able to understand the process of solving the theorem.

Tang Ling was not bothered to figure out the mathematical formula, but it seemed like combining knowledge to his thinking had become a constant instinct.

Nonetheless, what use would this instinct provide him?

In less than 3 seconds, Tang Ling had thought of many things, but Yang Kong’s muttering interrupted his thoughts. “How did this thing pop up here? The situation is getting worse!”

Even Yang Kong is concerned ! Tang Ling looked up at that monster that was on an eating rampage, and he instantly felt shocked.

At the same time, in the Watchtower, a man, who had been sitting in the middle in silence, seemingly the commander of some sort, finally stood up.

He sounded a little nervous as he announced, “Emergency, emergency! Battlefield, Area 6, coordinates 33.76. A Level 3 vicious beast seems to have appeared. It’s believed to have high-tier abilities based on our initial observation.”

“Damn it! Let’s just hope that it isn’t the space kind of monster!” The commander cursed all of a sudden.

When the term ‘space’ came up, Yang Kong immediately furrowed his brows tightly.

The commander paused before finishing his sentence, “Advice to deploy a squad of five Purple Moon Warriors to eliminate the target, or deploy… warriors on rank 3 or above.”

Then, Yang Kong suddenly turned around and instructed the astonished young warriors quickly, “Class is now put on hold. I don’t know whether to consider you guys lucky or not, being able to see such a big show on your first day.”

He then strode towards the command panel in front of the main monitor and took over the commander’s authority.

“Areas 4, 5 and 7, all personnel to fall back immediately.

“Personnel engaged in fights at coordinates 33-43.65-89, also fall back immediately.”

“All personnel in the defense patrol at the Patrol Ground are advised to enter defense level 1. Prepare the activation of the M777 howitzer. Level 2 authority granted to Heaven’s Eye of the sector protection machine. You are advised to execute a precise strike on the target.”

Yang Kong hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Additionally, prepare the two GM-45 155mm towed howitzers. Ready them to fire.”

“Calling command center. What about the authority to ammunition access?” A reply came back right away from the command panel. The voice contained a trace of hesitation and a subtle sense of pity.

“Highest authority granted. Take it down at all costs,” Yang Kong said with tight lips. Safety Sector No. 17 was always short of resources, so ammunition was considered as precious resources. At least until now, the sector was not capable of self-producing them.

Nonetheless, so what? Times had changed. The old civilization might be powerful, but they were no longer the absolute force that dominated the battlefield anymore; not even a nuclear missile could!

Indeed, times had changed!

With all the resources put into this kill, as long as they could take out the Level 3 vicious beast in the monitor, a Raider dragon, the ammunition spent would be worth it.

Yang Kong’s command sent the whole battlefield into an absolute frenzy. Countless of combat personnel fell back, so the iron belt area was very busy all of a sudden.

One after another, the warriors zipped back into the Hope Barrier using the iron belt, but they did not know what had happened.

Of course, it was not necessary for them to know either. In the battlefield, carrying out orders precisely and without delay was the most important aspect of the military.

The commander stood aside quietly. He was not disgruntled about Yang Kong taking away his command at all.

Yang Kong’s position must be very high. It was the first time Tang Ling and the others realized that the man, who appeared disheveled at the first meeting, had an unpredictable personality and only cared about scientific research and Fei Long. He was remarkably unusual.

Compared to the others, Tang Ling’s shock went up by a notch because he had a piece of Level 3 vicious beast meat! A real, authentic Level 3 vicious beast meat!

The man from the Mysterious Store, Kun, had simply tossed the chunk of meat to him and even used it to feed the little tortoise.

Had the meat come from such a terrifying monster!?

No wonder Lionel wanted to snatch it during the first exam!!

After all the necessary preparations were made, the Purple Moon Warriors who were assigned to carry out the mission progressed forward.

How will this battle turn out ? Tang Ling somehow forgot about his fear. He had replaced it with anticipation instead.

Based on the monitor, the monster was still sucking food in. It seemed like it was strolling around the ruins and conveniently filling its stomach, but it was actually heading towards the Hope Barrier.

Tang Ling’s Precise Instinct came into play again.

The monster was actually accelerating every second, not by much but enough for him to notice. For example, the monster moved a meter in the last second and accelerated to 1.01 meters in the next. Slowly but surely, it was moving faster.

Tang Ling was extra sensitive about the subtle acceleration. Somehow, he felt like the monster was heading there with a purpose.

Almost instinctively, he used his Precise Instinct to calculate the muscular activity on the monster’s expression and how it changed over time. However, it was his first time calculating something like this although it felt like a vague instinct was guiding him to generate a certain result.

In the next second, the result of his calculation gradually became clear.

The muscle movements on the monster’s features somehow showed a very lively expression. The difference in the range of its movements exposed its anticipation and nervousness. Despite seeming calm, it was actually hiding its excitement.

What kind of result is this ? Even Tang Ling felt it was strange, but it was too realistic to be ridiculous. Humans had microexpressions to reveal their emotions, so why would a vicious beast not do the same?

The strange thing was why would he use his Precise Instinct to read the thoughts of the vicious beast and even somehow understand it?

What an interesting discovery that he could use hard, cold calculation to calculate sentimental emotions!
