Chapter 48: Protector beast

Chapter 48: Protector beast

In the last life, Ye Zhongming had heard of an interesting thing.

It was said that two months after the apocalypse began, someone noticed a protector beast in a factor. That beast had reached level five and killed many survivor teams. It was really strong. What gave one a headache was that it had two more helpers. Although they weren’t as strong but they were level four.

The three monsters ruled a region.

A six star army expert attacked to kill these three. Legend had it that he got a blueprint and an egg from this beast.

Ye Zhongming was not sure which breed this beast was, he just knew that the blueprint was a weapon blueprint. That was because not long later, the experts’ team started to equip itself with a strong silver blade that was sharp and really useful.

In the last life, Ye Zhongming was a blade user so he paid attention to such things. When he heard about it, he remembered it in his heart.

Of course, there was another reason why he paid attention to it. That was because the one who killed the protector beast was a famous nine star military expert Heaven Blade Wang Ding! The idol of everyone who used a blade.

In this life, Ye Zhongming became a smith and obtained this white blade which made him recall this matter. Thus he was interested in the blueprint.

If he could get it, he could remake the blade in his hand and raise its level and strength. When the time comes, his strength would increase greatly.

Moreover, each egg was a huge replenishment for evolved people. After eating it, it was like having a weakened strengthening potion.

This time, Ye Zhongming came out to see if that thing was real or not.

The factory in the story was quite far from his house and would take an hour by walking. There were dangers all around so it would take much longer.

Fortunately, he had a one star evolved body so in a safe situation, he would be much quicker than normal people.

When he found the factory, it was already noon.

It was a commercial building that had just started construction. The Foundations were done and five to six stories were built and were being surrounded by a dark green protective fence. Trees were all around. If the apocalypse didn’t come, this place would have been really busy.

But now it was totally silent.

That was weird. For a construction ground that just started, the workers mostly stay inside. Those security guards and logistics officers would basically be stuck here. When the apocalypse occurred, there should be many zombies here.

But Ye Zhongming observed and didn’t even notice one.

Seemed like something really took over this area and either chased or ate all the zombies.

To eat normal zombies or chase away these zombies, it had to be two star.

He snuck in a climbed up the building that was furthest away. He got to the top floor and walked carefully to the window.

He could see everything from this area.

He looked around and when he glanced at the southeast corner, he squinted his eyes and even his breathing slowed down.

He saw the target.

Ape Turtle!

After the apocalypse occurred, apart from life forms from Earth-- humans and plants mutating, there were also aliens, things that survivors called monsters.

After the apocalypse, many dungeons appeared. Normally, these monsters appeared only in dungeons.

But there were always exceptions. Some of them would walk out and roam the outside world.

Apart from that, some great items like blueprints etc would appear. Monsters would guard these items and those they were known as protector beasts.

These monsters would often move about the area of the item that they protected and they had specific territories.

As these monsters were a branch of the monsters from the dungeons, so their descendants were great training partners. Especially for teams that wanted to enter the dungeons. They could fight with the protector beasts to gain experience.

Moreover, killing these protector beasts would often give great items.

Before reviving, there weren’t many of these protector beasts left. The weak ones were all killed and those who could survive outside the dungeons were really strong that even nine star experts didn’t want to offend. n0Velusb.C0M

The Ape Turtle was a type of protector beast.

This name was naturally given by survivors. They were often named after the imagination of humans.

Ape Turtle had a head that looked like an ape, a shell on its back and a tail that looked like a crocodile. It had high defence and really high strength.

There was also another reason why survivors paid attention to it, it had decent reproductive abilities.

Maybe to maintain the food chain. Monsters including the mutated plants on earth, the stronger ones had weak reproductive abilities. This rule also affected humans just that it wasn’t as obvious.

There were exceptions like this. Their reproductive ability was not bad. Based on human observations, they could give birth once every year or two and would have 2-3 eggs with an 80% success rate. They appeared in many dungeons in large amounts and they often lived together in groups of ten.

Of course, even then, only a few could evolve to level nine. Most humans would bump into level six ones.

The one that Ye Zhongming saw was level two.

Ye Zhongming did kill them before in his last life and knew its strength and weaknesses. After thinking about it, Ye Zhongming realised that it would be tough.

Same-level monsters were much stronger than the natives on Earth. Ye Zhongming found it so hard to kill a level two Blood Tongue Lizard so asking him to hunt this was no different from asking him to die.

Moreover, in the rumors that he heard, this Ape Turtle had helpers!

Ye Zhongming observed for a while more before moving out.

Although the enemy was strong but he didn’t want to give up. Before he did anything, he needed to have some preparations.
