Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 158 - 68: Hunter and Prey

Near-Earth Heavy Transport Ship’s upper-level conference room.

"How is the monitoring situation?"

"Reporting to the Colonel, everything is normal, except... Due to the unique topographical structure of the rainforest and the planet’s magnetic field, there are deviations in signal transmission and computational values."

"That’s good, announce the first round of elimination areas."

"Yes, Colonel!"

"The first round of elimination areas are five locations, codenamed C22, H6, T7, U10, W7. Contestants who are still in these areas in one hour will be considered eliminated. All contestants are required to wear their Combat Uniforms and carry electronic maps. Any contestant lacking either will be disqualified."

As the Colonel finished speaking, the command was transmitted to all contestants’ electronic maps via radio waves.

"Beep beep."

The contestants, who had already landed in the rainforest, felt vibrations on their bodies almost simultaneously.

"Is this information from the electronic map?"

A contestant murmured as he took out his electronic map.

"Does the Combat Uniform and electronic map on me have a tracking device?"

A contestant with mud smeared on his face stood on a giant banyan tree.

"Check my area, U10, damn it!"

A contestant who was running quickly suddenly stopped as a colorful flock of birds fluttered above him.

He quickly planned a route from his current location and then continued running.

"Ha, interesting. Night has not yet fallen; this has just begun."

Zhang Yuanren held a small metallic device in his hand, occasionally reflecting the glassy shine of sunlight off its surface.

In the area codenamed W7, a young man was facing life and death against a terrifying giant python, which had incredible defensive power!

Using his speed advantage, Mu Fan made two quick advances, hitting the Dead Wood Poison Python with a side kick and a chopping slash, but the python’s astonishing body just casually contracted and rebounded, rendering his attacks ineffective.

He was now breathing rapidly, and shockingly, the giant snake’s lantern-like eyes carried a human-like mockery and cruelty.

Playing with prey was the best seasoning for the dull life in the rainforest; the perceptive python now stared straight at the young man.

Through its heat-detecting sensory organs, it saw that the creature before it had exceptionally vigorous vitality, indicating abundant energy replenishment and also the prey’s strength.

It planned to exhaust the prey’s energy first, then seize the opportunity to choke or poison the prey, reflecting the wisdom of a predator!

Gurgle~

The python’s yellow pupils suddenly focused on the prey across from it.

Mu Fan’s expression changed; he was suddenly hungry...

The luxurious meals he had been consuming had finally run out after continuous high-intensity combat.

Thinking of his empty backpack with not a single bit of food, Mu Fan’s eyes began to emit a green light.

He stared fiercely at the python before him!

His right hand drew a military dagger from behind his waist, then performed a beautiful flourish, gripping the dagger in reverse.

Physical attacks were ineffective, weapons were necessary.

Conserve energy, quick fight!

The python lunged suddenly, its foul-smelling mouth gaping wide, and poisonous drool corroded dot-shaped marks on the rock surface.

Blood-colored Vision activated!

The forbidden power deep within his body unlocked, and the surging energy hidden within his cells burst forth instantly!

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

It was as if he was back in the wooded wilderness of Loga Star, running and jumping through trees.

He was not the prey, but rather...

The Hunter!

His legs suddenly exploded with power.

The rock surface was instantly shattered by his footsteps, and he performed a full-body flip in place, then fiercely kicked the approaching head of the giant python.

```

A miss, and with a kicked twist of the head, the giant python’s body proved incredibly agile, its tail, which had been dragging on the ground, suddenly lashed out violently.

Pfft, a mouthful of blood spat out, not expecting such a quick reaction, the giant python still had moves up its sleeve.

Mu Fan was sent flying by this tail strike, crashing heavily against a tree trunk.

This must be your killing move.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, Mu Fan laughed carelessly.

I have already seen through your attacks.

Just now, within the Blood-colored Vision, the sudden exertion of force from the opponent was instantly analyzed successfully.

When the python exerted force somewhere in its body, the muscle transmission of energy inevitably produced a rhythmic tremble, which if successfully dispersed again, resulted in a successful attack.

And for him, what he needed to do next was to intercept and kill the python in the midst of its exertion!

The muscles in his right arm, covered by the Combat Uniform, quietly bulged.

Next time,

it will be your death!

"Ding ding!"

A clear electronic sound suddenly came from the backpack thrown aside.

Mu Fan slightly paused his movements, but the giant python across from him seemed to instantly seize the opportunity, bursting out like a violent arrow, its bucket-thick body sweeping up sand and rocks.

The momentum was staggering!

Thump!

Mu Fan stomped his feet heavily, then vanished from the spot.

Above!

An A-level Fierce Beast’s terrifying intuition had already detected the prey suddenly appearing above.

The thick tail lashed out again like a heavy whip.

Hmph, beasts will always be beasts.

The brutal force in Mu Fan’s right hand, which had been ready, finally found an outlet to release the energy stored up, like a spring compressed to the utmost suddenly letting go!

The elbow served as the pivot, and the forearm shot out like lightning, the sharp dagger blade slicing through the air without a sound.

Not even a shadow could be seen!

Snap!

The knife went in up to the hilt.

The military dagger, with its excellent craftsmanship and special alloy material, finally showed its unparalleled power.

The surprisingly strong snake skin was finally pierced.

In pain, the giant python immediately began to withdraw its tail.

Thought that was the end?

With blood-red eyes, Mu Fan grinned, breaking through the predator’s strongest attack unexpectedly during the hunt, and victory was already halfway won.

The veins on his palm suddenly bulged, his fingers gripped the dagger fiercely, and he slashed diagonally.

Only then did the military dagger reveal its fangs!

The moment Mu Fan attacked, he had surged forward the serrated edge of the blade, and now a reverse diagonal slash, the Dead Wood Poison Python’s tail retracted at an extremely fast speed, but in an instant, it was seen smashing back and forth on the rock surface in pain, saliva scattering everywhere, creating deep black corrosive pits.

The tail had actually been slashed by Mu Fan in a mere moment, leaving a two-meter-long cut, now oozing blood profusely.

The blood is not poisonous!

Seeing the red blood flow onto the stone surface without any reaction, Mu Fan’s eyes gleamed even more fiercely.

Whenever he fought such powerful creatures, a boiling sensation from deep within constantly reminded him, the creature before him was just prey, a prey he could tear apart at will, its flesh would become his food, its skin his clothing, and its skull another trophy!

As if he were born the most powerful hunter among creatures, the pride of youth, this sense of self-awakening continuously surged from within, telling him he could not fail!

The even more brutal python in front of him no longer had its previous intimidating presence, its aura beginning to disorder in his perception.

The roles reversed, so from now on...

you are food!
