Translator: 549690339
After leaving the activity room, Jack Clark went to the cultivation classroom to practice Sword Skill and Dragon Elephant Power, and only finished after the school bell rang past 4 o’clock.
Today he didn’t go to the Reading Room to read, he left the school early instead.
Walking out of the school gate, Jack Clark took a taxi to the Flower, Bird, Fish, and Insect Market.
It was still the same pet store with birds and insects. As he walked in, Jack Clark said familiarly: “Boss Lee, where are the insects I ordered?”
Seeing it was a familiar customer, the boss showed a smile: “Here, 1 put them in a box. I packed you a few more, just in case they die on the way.”
With that, Boss Lee led Jack Clark to a shelf inside, and there was a small box about twenty centimeters long and wide with some rotten leaves for bedding.
On these leaves, four insect-like creatures of about three centimeters long were crawling around. Their body surfaces were narrow and gleaming with a metallic luster.
The most unique feature of these insects was their bulging compound eyes and the unusually long legs.
“These insects are quite common, but they’re a bit tricky to catch. The creatures in the wild are getting more and more aggressive, and many of them have started to show some minor mutations.”
“Since we’re all familiar here, you can have them for just four hundred this time.”
“Okay, thank you, Boss Lee.”
Jack Clark didn’t haggle and directly transferred him four hundred bucks, took the box and a box of mealworms that Boss Lee gave as food, and left the pet store.
This was what Jack Clark had prepared for the Heavy Armored Beast’s next evolution.
It was an insect named Tiger Beetle, which fed on meat.
The most famous feature of these insects was their speed, regarded as the fastest in the insect world. They could move a distance of up to 300 times their body length in an instant.
Once Jack Clark determined that the next target of the Avatar Evolution was to enhance speed, he checked many related resources and finally decided on the Tiger Beetle.
By then, after absorbing the genes of Tiger Beetle, even if they just get a tenfold increase in their body length’s movement speed, it would be a significant boost for the Heavy Armored Beast.
In fact, for the third avatar evolution, Jack Clark did consider Mutated Beasts.
However, ordinary mutated beasts had only greater strength and stronger defense than the Heavy Armored Beast of the same size.
As for those powerful mutated beasts with unique abilities, it was not something he could afford or kill at this point.
Besides that, Jack Clark also considered some special creatures, like the tardigrade.
These creatures, which are said to be the undeath, have a frightening level of vitality and can survive in extremely high and low temperatures, adapting to various environments.
They could even survive in outer space through special abilities.
However, after carefully reviewing the information on these creatures, Jack Clark gave up.
Because the so-called tenacity of life claimed to be able to survive hundreds of years in a dehydrated dormant state to escape from the environment.
During this state, similar to suspended animation, they can do nothing. They would be helplessly awaiting death if they encountered an enemy at that time.
In reality, their active life cycle was only a few weeks long, and the undeath claim was overly exaggerated.
“Bro, why did you come back so early today?”
It was past 5 o’clock. Glenn Clark, who had returned from school, was surprised to see that his brother was already home.
“Yeah, I had something to do, so I left early.”
Jack Clark then called Glenn over, pointed to the box on the table, and said: “Glenn, after I go for the trials later on, remember to help me feed these.”
Glenn looked at the Tiger Beetle on the table with curiosity and asked: “Bro, what kind of bugs are these?”
Jack Clark casually found a reason: “Tiger Beetle. It’s my new pet. Just drop a few mealworms in there each day.”
“No problem, bro.”According to the current growth rate of the Heavy Armored Beast, it is expected to reach the third evolution by the end of the month, and by then, Jack might still be in Koroya.
So Jack decided to have Glenn take care of feeding the Tiger Beetle.
When the Avatar was about to evolve, he would call Glenn and have him go out at night to throw the box containing the Tiger Beetle into the river.
As for the reason, any excuse would do.
After arranging everything, Glenn volunteered to cook, and he was becoming more and more diligent lately. Seeing this, Jack went upstairs with the Tiger Beetle to cultivate.
In reality, he leaned back in the chair and his consciousness sank.
Suddenly, under the muddy sand of the surging river, a black, lizard-like head emerged, looking fierce against the backdrop of three pairs of red feather horns.
The mud churned as a Heavy Armored Beast, like a crocodile, swam out from the riverbed.
During this time, Jack had been controlling the Heavy Armored Beast to continue eating almost around the clock, as long as he felt it had digested enough.
However, this area was the estuary, with deep and wide rivers, and there were also some ferocious fish that could adapt to fresh water, like the scaly Mutated Shark and the horned Tiger Whale.
Facing these large Mutated Fish over eight meters long, the Heavy Armored Beast would either turn away or sink into the mud.
Without a clear understanding of the strength of these massive Mutated Fish, there was no need to fight them. Getting injured would be a loss, slowing down the evolution and growth.
Under thirty meters of river water, the water was muddy, and the Heavy Armored Beast could only see vaguely within a range of ten meters or so.
Just as the Heavy Armored Beast was swimming around, a shadow over three meters long entered its field of vision in the distance, and the Heavy Armored Beast’s eyes lit up.
In comparison to humans, the strength of the Mutated Beasts in the water was easier to judge. Generally, the larger the body, the stronger they were, but there were some exceptions.
For instance, the Heavy Armored Beast had encountered a two-meter-long Mutated Fish that looked like a sharp sword, with a terrifying speed.
At that time, it only took an instant to shoot by and tear a Mutated Fish over three meters long in half, before facing the Heavy Armored Beast and being eaten together.
However, the Heavy Armored Beast also paid a price, as it suffered a wound on its abdomen that was half a meter long and a few millimeters deep, caused by the sword-shaped Mutated Fish.
This was the first time the Heavy Armored Beast had been injured since its evolution. Although only a small part of the exoskeleton armor on its belly had been cut open, it still had a scare.
After all, the exoskeleton armor on its abdomen was only two centimeters thick, and if the Mutated Fish were ten times stronger, it would pose a threat to the Heavy Armored Beast.
Since that day, Jack had become much more cautious.
At this moment, the Mutated Fish also spotted the Heavy Armored Beast. Due to the difference in size, it didn’t run away but instead approached it.
It was a small Mutated Shark covered in gray scales, with sharp teeth in its mouth.
Upon seeing the fierce appearance and the sturdy, sharp limbs of the Heavy Armored Beast, the Mutated Shark didn’t attack immediately but swam cautiously around it.
Seeing this, the Heavy Armored Beast pretended to be clumsy, slowly turning around in place, retracting its limbs on both sides of its body, showing a timid and defensive posture.
Soon, after circling the Heavy Armored Beast a few times and not sensing any danger, the Mutated Shark swung its tail and launched a fierce attack from behind.
In the blink of an eye, it reached the back of the Heavy Armored Beast, its sharp mouth wide open, biting down hard on the back of its head.
At this moment, the seemingly clumsy Heavy Armored Beast suddenly sank and appeared below the Mutated Shark, grabbing its body with its claws.
Rip!
The Heavy Armored Beast’s claws tore through the Mutated Shark’s scales, and with a powerful bite, it tore a huge bloody hole in its belly.
Blood gushed out instantly, staining the surrounding river water red.
When facing the four-limbed Heavy Armored Beast, these Mutated Fish had no chance of escaping once caught, and in just a few bites, the Heavy Armored Beast ripped apart their stomachs and killed them.
In the blood-red seawater, the black Unique Beast began to devour its prey, each bite tearing off chunks of fish meat, looking increasingly fierce..
