Chapter 117 Greed and Giant Mutation

The appearance of this thing on land is not a good sign. You know, those smaller mutated marine creatures have already caused humans to gradually abandon the land along the coast.

The arrival of giant marine creatures on land suggests that these mutated marine organisms may very well further occupy even larger areas of land.

What appeared in front of them blocking the way was a mutated marine creature that looked very much like a crab. Although only half of its body was visible, it was enough to give a rough idea of ​​its actual size.

Perhaps it was the battle between the awakened beings from those island nations behind that alerted the giant mutated marine creature.

The figure that was originally lying in the seaweed suddenly stood up, and the seaweed that had previously covered half of the other person's body was now only up to the joints of the mutated marine creature.

Its massive body was fully exposed to Dong Qi's eyes after it stood up.

At this moment, Masako Suzuki, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but tremble when she saw the enormous figure in front of her.

Masako Suzuki's situation is an instinctive reaction that occurs when the body faces a large object.

As the enormous creature approached them, each step it took, though seemingly slow, caused a slight tremor in the ground.

Faced with this behemoth, Dong Qi had no intention of slowly probing; he directly used the electromagnetic cannon to attack the joints that supported its body.

Faced with such a behemoth, Dong Qi did not lose his composure or forget the purpose of his trip.

The goal at this moment was to reach the first island, not to hunt mutated marine creatures, so Dong Qi did not want to get entangled with the giant mutated marine creature in front of him.

Therefore, the plan is to simply use an electromagnetic cannon to shatter all of the opponent's joints, rendering them unable to move.

Although the opponent is large, as long as the opponent loses the ability to move, even if it takes a longer route and more time, it is still easier than facing that guy head-on.

The electromagnetic cannon's power did not disappoint Dong Qi. With a soft sound, one of the legs of the giant mutated marine creature in front of him was instantly severed by the electromagnetic cannon.

Having lost the support of one leg, the massive creature blocking its path caused it to instantly lose its balance and tilt to one side.

Seeing that the electromagnetic cannon had achieved the planned results, Dong Qi no longer hesitated and continued to use the electromagnetic cannon to attack the opponent's leg joints.

The repeated attacks enraged the enormous creature blocking its path, but because all its leg joints had been struck by the electromagnetic cannon, it had essentially lost its ability to move and could only remain in place, raging helplessly.

After confirming that the creature had lost its ability to move, Dong Qi abandoned his plan to continue attacking and kill the giant mutated marine creature.

Instead, it observed to determine the attack range of the opponent's twin pincers, and then continued to use the electromagnetic cannon to clear a path through the seaweed, preparing to move away from and bypass this immobile behemoth.

As the vehicle turned and swerved to avoid a dead end, the Awakened Ones who were originally caught up in the battle behind finally noticed the huge thing blocking their way.

Just as everyone was filled with fear as they faced this colossal creature, someone suddenly noticed that this terrifying behemoth, while waving its pincers, remained stationary and did not move at all.

"Izumi no Akira, go closer and test him. It looks like that guy has lost the ability to move."

Hearing Kotoko Aoki's words, Akira Izumino felt indignant, but he did not refute her verbally. Instead, he cautiously moved closer to the front.

As Izumi Akira drew closer, he discovered that all the leg joints of the enormous creature in front of him had been severely damaged.

Having obtained specific information, Izumino Akira had no intention of getting any closer and returned directly to the group.

After hearing the information brought back by Izumi Akira, Aoki Kotoko immediately said, "It seems that the huge thing ahead has had its mobility disabled by the person in the car. In that case, we don't need to worry about it. Just continue following behind that car and go around the huge thing ahead."

Upon hearing Aoki Kotoko's words, other awakened beings immediately retorted, "Since that behemoth ahead has lost its ability to move, why don't we go over and kill it?"

Regardless of whether that guy was there to protect some treasure.

Just by killing that behemoth and eating its flesh, we should be able to gain a significant boost.

Don't tell me you haven't noticed that regularly eating those mutated marine creatures can slowly increase one's superpowers.

After hearing Koji Ishida's words, everyone fell silent.

However, since they were still in a dangerous situation, someone soon broke the silence.

"The person clearing the way only disabled the mobility of the behemoth in front of them, without killing it directly."

Although the specifics are unknown, it is certain that since the other party has chosen to take a detour, they will not stay in the same place and wait for us to kill the giant mutated sea creature that has lost its ability to move before leaving together.

So if we stay and attack that giant sea creature, we won't be able to follow that vehicle and leave this place.

"Then we won't leave with them. After three days of experience, we can confirm that the path they carved out in the seaweed with their electromagnetic cannon won't be covered by seaweed again anytime soon."

So as long as we can quickly deal with that giant mutated marine creature ahead, we can still keep up with the car by speeding up our pursuit.

Furthermore, ordinary people wouldn't be of much use against the giant mutated marine creature ahead, so they were instructed to continue following the vehicle while a few Awakened individuals with special abilities were assigned to protect it.

That way, once we kill that guy and rejoin the group, he might not even realize we'd ever left the group.

Kotoko Aoki immediately retorted to Yamamoto Hidetaku's analysis: "We're not far from the sea here. We'll be crossing the sea soon. Without Kobe Mako's special ability, ordinary people have no way to cross the sea."

But if you're asking Kobe Mako to leave with those ordinary people, can you be sure you'll catch up before the sea ice melts?

After Kotoko Aoki pointed out the key issue, Koji Ishida was at a loss for words.

However, considering the benefits that could be gained from killing that giant mutated sea creature, Koji Ishida finally spoke directly to Mako Kobe and said, "Ms. Mako, would you be willing to stay with us and kill that giant mutated sea creature ahead?"

If we successfully kill it, our awakened superpowers will be greatly enhanced.
