Chapter 1544: The Demonic Halberd Pig’s Opponent
Meng Chao was still thinking when the countdown to start the test was transmitted from the four corners of Test Field No. 1.
Above the test field, there were hundreds of crisscrossing pipelines that were coiled like giant pythons at the top of the rock. They were also simultaneously emitting low, trembling sounds.
As a Deity Realm powerhouse, Meng Chao could clearly feel that destructive energy was surging ceaselessly in these pipelines, ready to be unleashed.
One could imagine that if there were any accidents during the test, the pipes could shoot out ice flames of -100 degrees Celsius, freezing the out-of-control monsters into a pile of ice that would shatter at a touch. At the same time, molten steel that was thousands of degrees hot could also flow out. Even if it could not burn all of the monsters’ cells, it could still cast the monsters into stationary sc.r.a.p metal. It could even shoot out several thousand volts of electric arcs, blowing the monsters into ashes.
Of course, it could also suck the air out of the test field, or inject hypnotic gas, muscle paralysis toxins, and neurotoxins to keep the chaos to a minimum.
The need to use such strict safety measures showed that they usually carried out extremely dangerous tests there.
As the red lights turned green, the countdown neared its end.
The Demonic Halberd Pigs in the ten cultivation tanks woke up once again and rammed into the inner walls of the cultivation tanks restlessly.
This time, to their surprise, the cultivation tanks’ hatches opened on their own.
The ten Demonic Halberd Pigs jumped out one after another.
They shook their heads and wagged their tails, shaking off the pressure on their bodies. Half of them were vigilant, and the other half curiously looked around at the completely unfamiliar environment.
Four of them had been injured in the accident earlier, while the internal organs of two Demonic Halberd Pigs were exposed to the air. Only a thin layer of skin like the wings of a cicada covered them. One could clearly see the squirming and trembling of their internal organs.
Yet, such serious injuries actually increased their ferocity, filling their small scarlet eyes with incomparably violent light. They swept their deadly eyes across the entire area continuously with only one goal: To perish together with any target within their field of vision.
A few Demonic Halberd Pigs habitually dug the ground, sniffing the remnant aura of the Apocalyptic Beasts.
The level suppression between monsters was very serious.
Forget Apocalyptic Beasts at the top of the food chain, ordinary Demonic Halberd Pigs would be scared sh*tless even if they smelled the aura of Apocalyptic Beasts from afar.
However, these Demonic Halberd Pigs were not afraid. Instead, they revealed an extremely excited and increasingly aggressive expression.
By then, a few Demonic Halberd Pigs had also discovered the observation and control room that housed the experimenters high up in the rock wall.
With their hooves that were embedded with sharp thorns and claws, they might be able to climb up the completely vertical rock wall.
After rolling their scarlet eyes for a while, they decided not to act rashly.
Instead, they held their heads and huddled together, snoring and communicating with each other.
That was enough to show that the Demonic Halberd Pigs had gotten rid of the shortcomings of their own kind. They did not merely have developed limbs and simple brains. They possessed the hunting intelligence of a wolf pack.
However, before they could think of a way to break through the humans’ defense line, tear apart human flesh, as well as dig out the humans’ internal organs and feast on them, they had to face another opponent that was even more difficult to deal with.
On the other end of the test field, an ear-piercing mechanical noise rang out.
An entire rock wall sank down, revealing a bottomless cave.
Chik, chik, chik, chik, chik, chik.
Sounds of the lock being unlocked echoed in the cave, and it seemed like a demon that had been sealed in the depths of h.e.l.l had suddenly been released.
Very soon, the “demon” emerged from the darkness with an even darker outline.
At first glance, it looked like a colorful tiger that had been magnified three to four times. It had an extremely muscular, triangular body and sharp claws that could cut through iron as if it were mud.
Its eyes were full of vigor, and they were emitting a brilliance that was both brutal and majestic. “King” was pretty much written on its forehead. It possessed the full bearing of a king who was not angry at all.
It even had a ring of bone spikes protruding from its skull as if it was wearing a crown of thorns. That made it seem more like a king than an ordinary tiger.
However, if one took a closer look, one would discover that deep within its tiger eyes, there were vertical pupils that were reminiscent of a reptile.
There was also a layer of golden scales under the tiger’s light golden fur.
The tiger’s body, which was extremely st.u.r.dy, suddenly shrunk to its limit below the waist. It became a boa that was as thick as a bucket, possessing a sharp and thin snake tail.
It seemed to have a perfect combination of a colorful tiger’s upper body and a boa’s, or more specifically, a giant anaconda’s lower body.
It had the ferocity of a tiger’s pounce and the agility of a boa’s entanglement.
Its tiger claws could tear other monsters and human tanks into two.
When the boa crawled across the ground, it could also leave behind venom and flammable high-energy substances. They could be ignited through the friction of its scales, which could open up an impenetrable fire net and compress s.p.a.ce to prevent its prey from escaping.
Its serpentine tail was covered in densely packed holes that were like beehives, and it also emitted a nauseating poisonous fog. In addition, there were bone spikes hidden inside that could pop out at any time. No one wanted to brush up against a tail that could turn into a mace at any time.
“A Tiger Dragon!”
The characteristic of a tiger’s head and snake’s tail reminded Meng Chao of a terrifying name.
The Tiger Dragon was an extremely terrifying ferocious h.e.l.l Beast.
It possessed the lethality of a tiger-type monster as well as the stealth of a reptile-type monster.
When it attacked head-on, it could easily flip a tank that weighed dozens of tons to the ground and crush it like it was a broken matchbox.
When this creature hid in the depths of the jungle, it could also use its natural ability of mimicry to silently shoot out lethal venom from the darkness. It was highly toxic as well as corrosive, and not inferior to the Purple-striped Twin-tailed Scorpion or other insect-type monsters that were famous for their incredibly toxic traits!
In terms of protection, its tiger bones, fur, and scales acted as three layers of defense that gave humans an extreme headache.
It was difficult for long-range firepower to lock onto its vital points. A close-range bullet storm was no different from giving it a ma.s.sage and sc.r.a.ping.
In close combat, one had to take the risk of being torn apart by its sharp claws or being ground into a pile of meat paste by its boa body.
The most fatal thing about it was that the Tiger Dragon also possessed an extremely troublesome innate talent.
It was the regeneration ability that many reptilian monsters had.
Its cell regeneration was five to seven times faster than that of most monsters.
In actual combat, even if it sustained a two- to three-meter-long wound on its body, the Tiger Dragon would not be affected in the slightest. It would continue to release its violent and unparalleled destructive power.
Even if its forelimbs were cut off or its tail was crushed by the caterpillar tracks, it would still be able to grow them back in just half a day as if nothing had happened.
In short, the Tiger Dragon was a “perfect monster” that had balanced all of its combat parameters. It nearly had no weaknesses.
Meng Chao had previously even discovered the corpse of a Tyrant Mammoth in the wilderness, whose bones had been crushed and internal organs had been hollowed out by a Tiger Dragon!
