Chapter 265: Chapter 178 Classic of Mountains and Seas Recipes (Two in One)
Leaving the Seven-colored Forest, the blood-red branches did not pursue.
Amidst the lush green woods, Qin Shou glanced around, then picked a random direction to fly low.
"Nian..."
"Nian..."
Soon, the roars of Year Beasts echoed intermittently from the dense forest ahead.
Qin Shou halted in midair. There are Year Beasts here too?
Just as the thought arose, the trees ahead began to sway violently. One after another, massive Year Beasts frantically broke tree trunks as they charged in his direction, kicking up clouds of dust along the way.
Soon after, beams of light streaked down from the sky as powerful Energy Cannons rained upon Qin Shou and the Year Beasts, unleashing an area bombardment.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
Soil erupted, fire blazed across the sky, and the anguished howls of Year Beasts were endless.
Several Black Hawk Mechas descended with a thunderous crash. Steel wings snapped out, firing razor-sharp blades in a storm-like barrage.
"Shu! Shu! Shu!"
From within the lingering flames, the shrill cries of the Year Beasts cut through the air. Their splattered blood fed the fiery energy, making the flames within a hundred-meter radius even more violent.
"Whoosh..."
Moments later, the Black Hawk Mechas ceased their assault.
"Boss, this really is a great spot. Hunting these Year Beasts will earn us a small fortune."
"Exactly! With the Federation paying premium prices for Year Beasts, even a single Horror Level Year Beast can sell for at least ten Earth Core Energy Crystals. At this rate, we can retire early."
"Yeah, encountering weaker Year Beasts, we simply kill them outright; for the stronger ones, just scare them off with the sound of fireworks. It’s foolproof profit."
"Though it’s a shame about that kid. Happened to run into us just as we were chasing down Year Beasts."
"Sigh, it is a shame. The kid’s so young too..."
Inside the Mecha cockpits, the group fell silent for a second, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Boss, did you see my tone just now? Sounded like I was some goody-two-shoes, didn’t it?"
"Oh, come on. What do you mean ’sounded like’? We *are* good guys—good guys sending him straight to God."
"Honestly, too bad he’s dead. If he’d survived, we could’ve used him as bait to attract even more Year Beasts. Truly a wasted opportunity."
They laughed heartily, feeling not the slightest guilt or unease over their "accidental killing" of an innocent life.
As the smoke cleared, the scorched and cratered earth came into view, littered with the contorted corpses of over a dozen Year Beasts. A golden radiance caught their eye.
"What’s that..."
Amidst the corpses, a Golden Three-headed Dragon Monster crouched low, its massive wings shielding something beneath.
Despite the bombardment, the monster’s gleaming golden scales showed no signs of charring, not even the slightest scratch.
"A Cosmic Monster King Ghidorah!"
A voice exclaimed from one of the Mecha cockpits.
"No, it’s not the real King Ghidorah. Clearly, it’s a Beast Cultivation."
"Could it be that kid’s Beast Cultivation?"
"Quite likely..."
"This Ghidorah looks rather strong. Should we..."
"No need to worry. It’s only a Horror Seven Stars-level Beast Cultivation. If the kid dares to spout nonsense, we’ll deal with him easily."
"Exactly..."
Their discussion made it obvious this wasn’t their first time doing such things.
On the other side, the "greedy snake" let out a low growl and spread its golden wings, revealing an unscathed Qin Shou beneath.
Qin Shou stepped out from beneath the golden wings, casually brushing dust off his shoulders before raising his gaze towards the Black Hawk Mechas, his eyes full of hostility.
He had encountered Monster Hunters before in the wilderness outside West City, gaining some past experience dealing with them.
But such ruthless, human-life-demeaning Monster Hunters were a first for him.
Compared to them, those students from earlier might as well have been docile lambs—innocent beyond words.
This world had never lacked scum like them.
Inside the Mechas, the group noticed Qin Shou’s expression and sneered coldly.
"Boys, look at this—this kid actually dares to glare at us."
"Fresh meat unafraid of tigers, eh? Let’s be kind and give him a lesson in the harshness of this world."
"Got it, Boss. Let me handle this."
As one pilot spoke, he began operating his Black Hawk Mecha to deliver a fatal blow to Qin Shou.
"Hold on! I just remembered—only one person in West City owns a Ghidorah Beast Cultivation, and it’s Qin..."
Before the other pilot could finish speaking, the Black Hawk Mecha’s gaping mouth had already unleashed a fully charged Earth Core Cannon Beam.
"Boom..."
Scarlet light flared as a massive ten-meter-wide spiraling Red Beam shot forward.
The terrifying energy split the scorched earth along its path, leaving an inky black fissure as it barreled directly toward Qin Shou.
A Second-level Eight Stars Mecha!
Qin Shou’s eyes narrowed slightly as the greedy snake’s three dragon heads unleashed three energy beams of distinct attributes.
Golden Destruction Beam!
Thunder Energy Beam!
Gravity Energy Beam!
Their intertwining energies expanded the beam’s diameter to ten meters, streaking past Qin Shou in an instant before colliding head-on with the incoming Red Beam.
"Zzzt! Zzzt!"
"Boom..."
Violent energy transformed into a terrifying shockwave, ravaging the land for hundreds of meters, once more laying waste to the battlefield.
"Roar!!"
Suddenly, the greedy snake’s furious roar erupted from the energy’s epicenter, golden light spilling out continuously and shining ever brighter.
"Boom..."
The Earth Core Cannon Beam faltered and began to retreat. Seeing this, panic disrupted the group’s feigned composure as they desperately commanded the Black Hawk Mecha’s jaws to fire another devastating energy burst, feeding it into the overwhelmed beam.
"Buzz!!"
Instantly, the scarlet light blazed even fiercer, forcing the golden energy back toward Qin Shou’s side once again. freēnovelkiss.com
"Oh dear, playing a beam struggle with me? Don’t you see I’m on the right side?"
Behind the greedy snake, Qin Shou chuckled lightly as Godzilla, Scylla, and over a dozen Monkey Avatars leaped out from the Space Gate.
