Chapter 171: The Moment

Following that, Tiezhu began to patrol within this exhibition platform. Most of these mutated beasts had fierce appearances and formidable strength. In order to survive longer, Tiezhu selected relatively weaker opponents inside.

Shortly after, Tiezhu stopped in front of a glass display, where a completely snow-white mutated beast was seen.

It roughly resembled a white lion with two horns on its head and a goat’s beard.

Tiezhu looked at this mutated beast and said, “Compared to other mutated beasts, this one seems much gentler. It should be easy to deal with, right?”

At that moment, Ye Xuan interjected, “Wait, as a favor to you, I’ll remind you that the Mingshe we just faced is not even worthy of tying this thing’s shoelaces. You better choose another one!”

After the revival of the mutated beasts, Ye Xuan had seen it before. Among the mutated beasts, the Mingshe was quite ordinary.

But Tiezhu’s choice of this mutated beast was different. Completely snow-white, with a lion’s body and long horns, wasn’t this the divine beast Baize?

Baize was definitely renowned among the Classic of Mountain and Sea mutated beasts. The Mingshe was not even comparable to it. Although Tiezhu had some strength, if he faced the much stronger Baize instead of the Mingshe, it would be a dead end!

Tiezhu readily accepted Ye Xuan’s advice and decisively decided to choose a new opponent.

This time, he chose the Dangkang. This

Dangkang, also known as Yatun, had a pig-like appearance, with a body length of six zhang and a height of four zhang. It was entirely green, with two large ears and four tusks protruding from its mouth like ivory.

Dangkang looked like a relatively large wild boar, and Tiezhu felt that he had not made a wrong choice this time.

He looked at Ye Xuan and asked, “Brother, this time should be fine, right?”

Ye Xuan replied, “It should be fine, let’s go in!”

Dangkang symbolized a bountiful harvest. Its status was comparable to that of the Mingshe. It was nothing special as long as there was no sneak attack; it shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Tiezhu reached out and touched the glass cover above the Dangkang statue.

In the next second, Tiezhu appeared inside the glass cover. When he first entered, Tiezhu was only a few centimeters tall. However, the moment he entered the glass cover, Tiezhu immediately activated his ability, increasing his height and size tenfold.

After Tiezhu’s transformation, he was roughly on par with the Dangkang statue.

As Tiezhu completed his transformation, the Dangkang statue also came to life and roared as it charged towards Tiezhu.

Tiezhu also charged head-on towards Dangkang, and the two collided, giving the impression of a gorilla battling a wild boar.

The impact was significant, causing the glass cover to tremble slightly. However, the force was not enough to break the glass cover.

Tiezhu and Dangkang continued to collide. Dangkang let out a series of roars, while Tiezhu exclaimed, “Oh my goodness! Oh my gosh…” in an intense battle.

Seven to eight minutes later, Dangkang struck Tiezhu squarely in the abdomen, sending him flying backward, crashing into the glass container on the display, and then sliding down.

Tiezhu immediately reached out and pounded on the glass container, clearly signaling for help.

Meanwhile, Dangkang was panting heavily, its hoof continuously scraping the ground, seemingly preparing to launch another attack.

At this moment, Qin Kai took a few steps forward towards the glass cover of the exhibition platform but did not touch it directly.

Stopping about a centimeter away, he then activated his power.

Inside the glass cover, after Dangkang had been gathering strength for over ten seconds, it suddenly launched a fierce charge, its four tusks aimed directly at Tiezhu.

Tiezhu was terrified at this moment, almost scared stiff. He wanted to escape, but at that moment, a strong suction force emanated from the glass cover, immobilizing his body.

Watching as Dangkang’s tusks were about to pierce his body, Tiezhu’s body disappeared from inside the glass cover and reappeared outside in the next second.

Tiezhu, now covered in cold sweat, sat in a sorry state on the ground, muttering, “Oh my goodness, that scared me!”

Simultaneously, inside the glass cover, Dangkang reverted to its statue form as Tiezhu left.

Tiezhu looked at Qin Kai and said, “Bro, does it take you this long to use your ability? If you were a second late, I would have been done for!”

Qin Kai somewhat embarrassedly replied, “It’s my first time using it, I’m a bit unfamiliar. I’ll get better later on.”

Tiezhu, still shaken, said, “Your unfamiliarity almost got me killed!”

At this point, Zhou Yun asked, “Who should go deal with Dangkang?”

Ye Xuan calmly replied, “I’ll do it. I prefer these straightforward opponents.”

However, at this moment, Harren interjected, “Wait, isn’t something wrong here?”

Ye Xuan looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Harren pointed at Tiezhu and said, “Our side’s person went in first to test the strength of the mutated beast, then you guys arrange for someone to go in and reap the benefits. In the end, all the gains from this relic will belong to your China, right?”

Ye Xuan helplessly responded, “It’s not our fault. Blame your lack of strength. If Tiezhu had been stronger and defeated the Dangkang, then the gains would have been on your side.”

Although Harren still felt something was off, he knew that they were at a disadvantage today because China had Qin Kai, who could help those with weaker abilities survive inside the display. Based on this alone, they had to accept the disadvantage.

Thinking it over, Harren said, “Alright, you can make your move. Also, the next one, I’ll handle it on our side.”

Harren was undoubtedly the strongest among the Eurasian Union.

With a high degree of certainty, he could directly crush the mutated beast inside the glass cover. In that case, the order would naturally be reversed.

The awakened individuals from China would test the strength of these mutated beasts, and then the awakened individuals from the Eurasian Union and the United States would reap the benefits.

Upon hearing Harren’s words, Ye Xuan smiled and said, “It’s up to you.”
