Chapter 118 Military Region Research Office
A young man with long, flowing hair spoke, his eyes heavily puffed out, but his expression was one of great excitement.
He pushed through the crowd, and his scattered gaze immediately focused on Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand.
"Is this the magical beast? It looks so strange. It seems to be a combination of a rat and a duck, perfectly integrated into one entity."
The young man with disheveled hair squatted down and looked excitedly at the duck-rat monster in Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand.
Looking at the fervent light in the young man's eyes, the Duck-Rat Monster felt a chill run down its spine, as if it were being watched by something terrifying.
This bone-chilling cold was even more terrifying than the death threat it had felt underground.
"quack!"
The duck-rat monster struggled desperately, while simultaneously opening its mouth to bite Zhang Xiaoyuan's palm.
It had a premonition that being taken away by this intensely-eyed young man would be worse than dying.
Unfortunately, the expected rage did not come. Instead, a strange rope was tied around its body, and then it could no longer feel the power within its body.
At the same time, it was also taken into the hands of that young human.
"Okay, okay."
The young man was overjoyed and excitedly hugged the duck-rat monster, sitting in the refrigerated compartment at the back. He couldn't wait to study the duck-rat monster's body structure.
Other researchers informed Zhang Xiaoyuan that the funds for purchasing research materials would be transferred to her account immediately.
He then hurriedly returned to the research institute.
Such bizarre monster species are a deadly temptation for every researcher.
After handing over the Warcraft, Zhang Xiaoyuan ignored the notification sound on her phone, got back into the car, and told Qin Fen to continue to the next target.
"Brother Yuan, shall we head straight to the area at the foot of Feng Hua Mountain to search for magical beasts? There are no more villages or towns marked with magical beasts along the way."
Qin Fen asked.
"Well, let's just go. I'm afraid we won't be able to kill many monsters before it gets dark."
Zhang Xiaoyuan looked up at the sky; she had spent a bit too much time in Qushui Village.
The group continued forward until they reached a river, where Zhang Xiaoyuan discovered that there was a traffic jam ahead.
"Huh? What's going on? This area is considered a remote suburb, where magical beasts often appear. Especially now, with Feng Hua Mountain occupied by the military, there aren't many people passing by. How come there's a traffic jam?"
Qin Fen asked, puzzled.
"I'll go down and take a look."
Ishida spoke, got out of the car, and stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
"Hey bro, what's going on up ahead? Why is everyone stuck?"
Ishida walked a short distance ahead and asked.
"Damn those monsters! They destroyed all the bridges nearby, making them impassable now. The construction crew is working hard to repair them," someone cursed angrily.
"Even if the bridge is temporarily built, it can't handle so many vehicles, otherwise it will collapse again," a truck driver said.
He knew it was dangerous, but he needed to transport goods to support his family. Taking a shortcut would be cheaper, but it would greatly increase the danger.
"Oh, so there are magical beasts."
Upon hearing about the monsters, Ishida's eyes lit up, and he excitedly ran back.
"Tsk, how can this person still laugh? Is he crazy?"
Someone said, puzzled.
Ishida came running back in the military vehicle, all excited and eager.
"Brother Yuan, the bridges ahead and nearby have been destroyed by monsters. If we want to get through, we'll have to take a detour of dozens of kilometers. However, the construction team is working hard to repair them, and they should be fixed soon. But by the time it's our turn, we might not be able to get through."
"Oh, is Warcraft causing trouble?"
Zhang Xiaoyuan raised an eyebrow. A magical beast in the water? Could it be a fish? Or some other river creature?
"Let's go down and take a look."
Zhang Xiaoyuan rubbed his hands together. The types of magical beasts in the outside world were different from those in the Battlefield of Gods. He hadn't even tried the river delicacies here yet.
Zhang Xiaoyuan arrived at the front of the traffic jam and found that in addition to the construction team setting up a makeshift steel plate for crossing the river, there were also two ability users guarding the area, warily observing the river surface.
"How's the situation?"
Qin Fen asked the question from above.
"Hey, Qin Fen? Didn't you go to keep that new ability user company?"
As fellow ability users, they naturally knew Qin Fen. Upon seeing him, they curiously looked around.
If they weren't mistaken, the ability user who could rival Captain Zhou was probably nearby.
"Look, this is Brother Yuan. Brother Yuan is even stronger than the Captain!"
Qin Fen smiled and introduced Zhang Xiaoyuan behind him.
'Even more awesome than the captain?!'
The two were inwardly amazed and cautiously sized up Zhang Xiaoyuan, only to find that she was just an ordinary-looking person. She wasn't even as handsome as they were when they looked in the mirror right after taking a shower, and her figure wasn't as good as theirs either. How could she be so strong?!
"Are there monsters here?"
Zhang Xiaoyuan took a step forward and looked into the water, but she did not detect any trace of the monster.
"Yes, sir. Monsters sometimes appear, but they leave after they cause some damage to the temporary bridge planks."
Although we can inflict some damage on the monster, we are not familiar with water and cannot completely kill it.
Moreover, there are many magical beasts in the river. Once a few leave, a stronger beast will take their place, making it impossible to stop them.
A soldier clenched his fist and said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, so Warcraft keeps coming?"
Zhang Xiaoyuan's eyes were bright, and Ishida smiled, unable to resist gripping the animal bone knife in his hand.
"Watch out, monsters are coming! Every time they come, they provoke us, thinking we can't do anything to them. They're so hateful!"
Another soldier looked angrily at the monster spitting water at them.
"Hehe, I'll treat you to grilled fish later."
Ishida stepped aside, found an open space, took out the fire-making equipment from his backpack, and set up a grill, seemingly preparing to cook.
This stunned the two soldiers. Were they planning to stay here for a long time?
At this moment, the two one-meter-long black fish monsters had swum to within ten meters of the stone bridge.
This distance is the safe distance told to them by their companions. At this position, even if an attack comes, they can directly hide underwater to avoid human attacks.
The two black fish-like monsters absorbed water and gathered their strength until their bodies swelled up. Finally, they fired a very fast water jet, targeting the steel plate that the construction workers had set up.
The monsters don't need to destroy the steel plates; they'll be very happy if they can just shift the plates so that humans can't pass through normally.
But this time they found that the water gun was ineffective, dissipating automatically after traveling halfway.
This scene was hard for the fish to understand. It slapped its tail on the water's surface, preparing to continue gathering power to create its water gun.
But when they had charged up their water guns enough and were ready to shoot, they were horrified to find that the water could not be shot out of their mouths.
Furthermore, the water from the surrounding rivers continuously entered their bodies, and even when it reached the limit that their bodies could contain, it did not stop.
Many people on the riverbank witnessed this astonishing scene.
These two black fish monsters drank water and exploded!
