Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent-Chapter 318 - 282: Carter Slade vs. Baby Skull Lizard
Chapter 282: Carter Shire PKs the Skeleton Lizard Hatchling
The fist-to-fist combat caused King Kong and the Grey Wolf to roll together.
The trees on the entire island suffered an unexpected disaster.
The aftermath of their fight shattered them into various pieces.
The aftermath of their fistfight could even stir up a storm of airflow, carrying the destroyed vegetation and stones, impacting in all directions.
The creatures around were extremely unlucky; those affected would get injured just by a graze, crippled by a touch.
Grey Wolf was feeling the changes in his body, especially after using the Hammer of Fear and the Giant Potion.
He felt his body becoming incredibly robust and powerful, but some negative effects also appeared.
For example, the side effects of the Hammer of Fear became even stronger.
This was mainly because the coverage of the Spiritual Shield Device made by Grey Wolf had a limited range.
Transformed from over two meters to nearly a hundred-meter giant werewolf, this Spiritual Shield Device could no longer fully cover his entire body.
So, even though he was now happily brawling with King Kong, the whispering of the serpent was echoing in his ears.
That kind of pervasive whispering, like the enticement of an Evil God, was constantly provoking his spirit, trying to control him, aiming to turn him into a puppet wolf!
Fortunately, Grey Wolf himself had also reached Tier Six, his basic attributes weren’t lacking, and his main attribute had increased his Spiritual Power.
Thus, the effect of the Hammer of Fear was weakened by several levels.
If it were used by someone like Nick Fury, he might have become the shape needed by the serpent within minutes, becoming a puppet, helping to destroy the seal.
Meanwhile, King Kong, who was brawling with Grey Wolf, was also extremely frustrated.
He truly didn’t know where such a freak came from on Skull Island.
Having lived here for over a hundred years, he knew every living creature on Skull Island like the back of his hand, and there definitely wasn’t this giant werewolf.
Moreover, the opponent’s strength was extremely strong, and in their mutual brawl, he was vaguely falling behind.
However, King Kong didn’t sense any killing intent from the giant werewolf, instead, an infinite fighting spirit emerged.
Naturally, King Kong would not admit defeat; as the king and guardian god of Skull Island, he didn’t want to lose to an outsider giant werewolf!
On the entire Skull Island, only the leader of the Skeleton Lizards could barely be his match.
This was only because the leader fought without honor, with the help of those Skeleton Lizards under it, barely able to contend with him.
Now, with someone who could fight him with full strength, King Kong was equally exhilarated.
Thus, the massive gorilla also became more courageous the more he fought, originally just breaking through to Tier Nine, his strength was climbing steadily, heading toward the Tier Nine Peak!
Regarding King Kong’s increasingly heavy punches, Grey Wolf naturally noticed, but he didn’t care.
He simply wanted to fully experience a truly masculine brawl.
Using the cliff as a center, the two giant beasts, akin to little thugs, initiated a brawl in rogue style.
Dust filled the air, rocks and sand flew, leaves swirled, strong wind raged, and the two creatures collided in various ways, neither able to bring the other down.
...
"There are quite a few Skeleton Lizards, should we hunt them down separately or join forces?"
Carter was piloting the Flying Skateboard, while Tom stood on his shoulder, dressed like a Black Society boss, wearing sunglasses and holding a cigar.
Mo Jin, on the side, was fluttering its wings, flying a dozen meters ahead of Carter.
Jerry stood on Mo Jin’s head, holding a miniature Gatling Bodhisattva, with bullet chains wrapped around his chest and waist.
Kasi was enshrouded in a layer of black mist, floating above their heads.
On the contrary, Edward had transformed into a beam of golden light, following behind Mo Jin.
"Let’s hunt them down together. For these creatures, it’s just for fun; the main purpose is to let Tom and Jerry train lower levels. The BOSS said they need to break through to Tier Six as soon as possible."
Kasi’s voice floated in the ears of everyone.
He had a bit of interest in researching the Skeleton Lizards, while also providing protection.
Among Tom, Jerry, and Mo Jin, the highest was only Tier Six, while the Titan Giant Beasts on Skull Island had a minimum Tier Four level.
Of course, here, Tier Four only refers to the Skeleton Lizard hatchlings; once they reach adulthood, they all have Tier Seven power, with the leader having reached Tier Eight Peak. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
This was why the Skeleton Lizard leader dared to hunt down King Kong with a large group of Skeleton Lizards.
Unfortunately, King Kong wasn’t stupid; if he couldn’t win, he’d run. Except for the Skull Lizard King, who could barely contend with King Kong head-on, the rest of the Skeleton Lizards would only end up being torn apart by him.
This is why, every once in a while, King Kong would actively seek trouble with the Skeleton Lizards, killing some Tier Seven adult Skeleton Lizards.
Both sides weren’t foolish, neither could do anything to the other for now, so the entire Skull Island maintained a strange balance.
"We’re at the landing point, let’s head down."
The flight speed was extremely fast, and they quickly arrived at the edge of the Skeleton Lizard territory.
This was already the hunting area of the Skeleton Lizards, where they roamed the forest, hunting creatures to become their food.
"Let me test what level my current physique has reached."
Carter finished speaking and swooped down from the sky. When he was only twenty meters from the ground, he jumped off the flying skateboard, leaving Tom on it.
"Roar~!"
With a growl, the Skeleton Lizard below naturally saw the human jumping down from the sky.
This skeletal lizard infant, over ten meters long, unhesitatingly opened its bloody maw and catapulted upward.
Its gaping mouth bristled with sharp teeth, aiming to tear Carter Shire apart as he descended from the sky.
"Damn! I’m delivering myself right to the door."
Seeing the bloody maw getting closer, Carter cursed under his breath while retrieving his antique rifle.
As the trigger of the shotgun was pulled, sparks burst forth sharply.
A bullet burst out, spraying numerous pellets, each carrying a bit of Hellfire!
"Ouch..."
A scream of pain followed as the enormous mouth snapped shut, spewing a torrent of blood.
Its massive bony skull collided directly with Carter.
Fortunately, Carter reacted swiftly, kicking his legs to land on the Skeleton Lizard’s head, then using brute force to evade the two tearing claws swinging at him.
"Bang bang bang..."
The shotgun’s trigger was repeatedly pulled, firing seven consecutive shots as Carter brushed past the Skeleton Lizard, hitting it squarely.
The dense pellets, laden with Hellfire, created one blood hole after another on the Skeleton Lizard, setting its flesh ablaze with Hellfire.
With a cry of anguish, both the Skeleton Lizard infant and Carter hit the ground simultaneously.
Upon landing, the Skeleton Lizard immediately turned and charged at Carter.
This creature bore grudges strongly, becoming relentless once it entangled its prey.
The Skeleton Lizard infant was fast, but Carter Shire wasn’t slow either.
With a slight roll, Carter dodged the Skeleton Lizard’s charge.
While dodging, he managed to launch a counterattack, explosive power surging from his legs, leaving footprints on the ground as he propelled himself forward.
Fitted with spiky gauntlets, Carter swung at the Skeleton Lizard’s side abdomen.
The spikes on the gauntlets were exceedingly sharp, tearing through the Skeleton Lizard’s hide with ease, forming several thumb-sized bloody holes.
In the space of a few inches, Carter dodged the Skeleton Lizard’s claw strikes left and right, initiating a frenzied barrage of punches.
The Skeleton Lizard was dangerous only due to its head and claws, apart from its tail which it used like a whip.
In close combat, Carter needn’t fear the tail strikes, just avoid the claw strikes and bites.
With the continuous rain of punches from his gauntlets, the bloody holes on the Skeleton Lizard grew more numerous.
Soon, the bloodied Skeleton Lizard slowed its movements and started showing signs of faltering.
Eventually, due to excessive blood loss, it collapsed into a pool of blood.
"This thing is really tough; its abdomen barely has a spot of unblemished skin, yet it lasted half an hour."
This punch-to-punch brawl took Carter back to his early days as the Evil Spirit Knight, invigorating him entirely.
Though fighting for half an hour, he felt little fatigue, which when attributed to the perfect Super Soldier Serum concocted by Grey Wolf, truly demonstrated its potency in strengthening his body.
Bear in mind, Carter wasn’t battling as the Evil Spirit Knight yet.
"Jerry, finish off this dying Skeleton Lizard."
Carter enjoyed the battle experience while testing the current toughness of his physical body.
Jerry didn’t waste words; the Gatling Bodhisattva in his hands immediately burst into sparks.
The bullets turned into a storm, blasting at the unconscious Skeleton Lizard’s head.
Jerry’s modified Gatling Bodhisattva unleashed monstrous power that was best described as terrifying.
Anything in the path of the bullet storm was instantly shredded into pieces.
The infant Skeleton Lizard’s skull was torn apart in a flash, its flesh and brain matter splattering everywhere.
"Such a waste!"
Flying in the air, Kasi sighed, and a large syringe appeared, starting to draw what little blood remained in the fallen Skeleton Lizard.
Meanwhile, a sharp knife began cutting the Skeleton Lizard’s flesh, depositing it into an adequately sized glass jar.
Collecting the blood and meat was naturally for research on the Skeleton Lizard, a Titan Giant Beast.
Though not the strongest among Titan Giant Beasts, it was still a giant beast, was it not?
Surely there are special traits, like what kind of feed it needs to grow so big.
