Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

Claude pulled out Mercy, and the flowing sword body quickly turned into the knight's long sword he often used. The blade was so red that it seemed to be dripping with blood, constantly conveying a feeling of satisfaction to Claude.

The sword blade, which was already extremely sharp, now gave people a chilling feeling, as if their soul and life were being threatened, making people instinctively stay away from it.

Claude stared at Saria in a daze. He didn't expect to meet this old friend here. It seemed that their encounters always happened in such unexpected situations, full of unique drama.

"Ms. Saria, why are you here?"

Saria didn't know what to say at the moment. With her observation and wisdom, she easily figured out the current situation. There was no doubt that the mess she had to clean up had become a bigger mess and caused a lot of trouble for her former friend.

Saria, who was strong and upright, didn't know what to say at the moment. After all, this disgusting monster was thrown into the rainforest because of the mistakes of her former colleagues, the crazy scientists in Rhine's life. Now it was unknown what kind of casualties had been caused. If it caused heavy losses, she would be too ashamed to face the residents of the rainforest.

After all, she is also one of the founders of Rhine Life, and she really can't say something that has nothing to do with her.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Claude... I came here just for this monster. It's a mutant created by scientists at Rhine Life Sciences. It's extremely dangerous. I got the news three days ago and rushed here immediately."

After all, Saria is still Saria, and she cannot lie to her friends. Besides, this is her responsibility and should not be borne by others.

"That's great. I was just worried about not knowing the weakness of this thing... Although my sword can kill it, it's hard to find a chance to stop it. There's another part of this guy to the west. We have to deal with it quickly."

Hearing what Saria said, Claude heaved a sigh of relief. It was almost dawn now. If he let that thing continue to develop, he didn't know how big it would become. There might be casualties by then.

Without wasting any more time, Claude turned around and rushed towards the other monster, and Saria immediately followed behind him.

"This biomass is very vulnerable to high temperatures. As long as the temperature exceeds 70 degrees, its cells will disintegrate... I originally planned to burn it with flames before it developed, but now it seems that I was too slow."

"Are there any other weaknesses? It's not easy to start a fire here. Even though it's very humid, there's still a chance that the entire jungle will burn down."

"Strong acids or alkalis can completely destroy the activity of its cells, but it is difficult for us to get a large amount of strong acid now, so burning it with flame is still the most feasible way. We can lead it to a place where there are no trees."

"It's hard to find a place without trees here... Never mind, I'll just use my sword. As long as I can stop it in one place... I'll go ahead and block it, and you come to assist me."

"clear."

Neither of them said anything extra. Relying on their strong bodies, they quickly chased after the meat mountain that was becoming more and more conspicuous in the distance.

………………

"Gavial, come and help me!! Dachou can't hold on any longer!!"

The sharp circular saw could easily cut through the thick tree trunk, but now it was stuck in the tough flesh and could no longer rotate. The thick jab next to it, with the engine running, hit the meat mountain hard, creating a huge hole and successfully making the huge monster in front of it retreat a little distance.

But the circular saw, which was full of cracks, was completely shattered by this blow and pierced deeply into the flesh in front of it.

"Here it comes! Get out of the way!"

The green-haired Adaklis girl jumped down from the steep slope nearby. In her hand, she was holding a rope woven from thick vines, and the other end of the rope was tied to a huge stone. With the force of her jump and her strong physical fitness, she successfully pulled the huge stone down from the hillside.

The three-meter-high boulder fell from the hillside with the force of thunder, and then hit the meat mountain squarely and fiercely. It sank deeply into the indescribable pink mucus and meat. A large amount of liquid was squeezed out by the heavy weight, flowing along the mucus on the ground, bringing a lot of fishy smell, which made people retreat.

But that was all. The heavy stone began to slide down along the slippery slime, and then fell heavily to the ground. The monster still stretched out countless pink tentacles, trying to catch a small insect that was harassing it, and Dachou and Jiaweier also retreated flexibly, avoiding those tentacles that were grabbing everywhere.

"No, it can't hurt this thing at all!! The wounds it cut healed instantly. How did Mr. Claude kill that thing?!"

"It seems to rely on his sword, but we have no other choice. We must stop this thing! In front of us is Inam's tribe! There are too many of them, and they haven't withdrawn yet. We must stop them for a while..."

The black-haired girl Fidelia ran quickly on the tree trunk beside her. The slippery moss could not stop her steps at all. Her slender tail wrapped around the branches from time to time to maintain her balance. In her hands, she held a strange-shaped battle axe and a heavy shield.

The one driving Dachou next to him was the high priest who looked like a big blue bird. He flexibly swung the joystick inside to make this huge machine keep up with the two of them, but one of Dachou's weapons had been destroyed, and now he could only rely on the gun in his mouth and the jab in his hand to attack.

"Damn it, what on earth is this thing afraid of? ... How about we set it on fire and give it a try?"

"Are you an idiot? You want to burn our house down... How dare we light a fire here? If it gets a little ignited, it will be impossible to put it out, not to mention burning such a big thing. Where can we find so much fuel now?"

"This won't work, and that won't work. We can't just wait for it to die on its own, right?!!"

…………

The two men quarreled while chasing the huge figure, attacking it from time to time, creating several huge wounds on it. However, as the monster grew larger, its wounds would often be filled with mucus in just a dozen seconds, and turn into pink flesh in the blink of an eye.

Just as the two were struggling, a black figure suddenly leaped over from the treetop next to them. It was Claude who arrived in time. He was relieved to see that the huge mountain of meat had not yet run out of the rainforest.

The blade of Mercy was now blindingly red, and Claude didn't know if it could continue to kill the monster in front of him, but he could not drag it on any longer. If this thing continued to grow bigger, the entire rainforest would be swallowed up by it.

"Listen to me! I have a plan."

…………

Now he needs everyone to cooperate with him, especially the help of one of his companions. Now only Yelena can help him stop this thing.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 207: Trouble Solved and Old Friends Reunited

The aversion to certain things exists in human genes. When seeing such things, one will feel an instinctive disgust. For example, slippery mucus, sticky tentacles, and that fishy, ​​disgusting smell will make people feel a strong chill in their hearts when they come into contact with such things.

How did this instinct in the gene come down? Was it because of some dangerous creatures or some special living environment? It was unknown now, but Claude knew that he had been disgusted by it.

That huge meat mountain or now we can call it meat ball, after all, it has become round in order to escape; wherever it passes, it will leave a thick pool of transparent mucus, which is not only highly sticky, but also has a fishier smell than salted fish exposed to the sun for several days. Some places will also have turbid white color. Not only girls, but even Claude will retreat away from it.

Relying on this rapid rolling method, its speed far exceeded that of most vehicles, and it had already caused considerable damage to the rainforest. Before Yelena arrived, they had no way to effectively stop this thing, so they could only try to drive it away into the depths of the rainforest where there were no people.

"What's the area ahead? We're running out of time."

Claude casually broke off a branch from the side and threw it out. This irregularly shaped branch hit the side of the meatball as heavily as a crossbow arrow shot from a heavy crossbow, making a loud impact sound and causing the meatball to slightly change its direction.

"The beach is right in front of us. There's no one there. No one will go near that place."

"Well, drive it to the seaside."

…………

Pain, only pain, it can't feel anything else except pain. From time to time, something creates intense pain for itself, driving it in one direction.

Apart from the sense of touch, it has no other senses, and even its consciousness is so chaotic. It is like a primary paramecium, instinctively escaping from an environment that makes it feel uncomfortable, but so far, it has not encountered anything that can stop it from moving forward. It relies on the instinct deep in its genes to continuously extend its tentacles, taking in everything edible around it, and then slowly decomposing it with its own body fluids to obtain energy to continue to grow.

Keep running away, keep running away. As long as it can leave here and eat enough food, one day there will be nothing that can threaten it anymore. As if it was an instinct it had since birth, it began to run away non-stop.

Moist water vapor came from the front and enveloped it all of a sudden. The large amount of water in front attracted it, making it roll faster, as if it could escape at the next moment, until the sound of caracara sounded from all around, and a new and painful feeling that it had never experienced since its birth began to spread.

In an instant, not only the body, but even the chaotic consciousness began to become dull.

………… & ……

The muscles in his legs burst out with powerful force, allowing Claude to rush out more than 20 meters with each step. When the disgusting huge mountain of meat was completely frozen by frost, even he could feel the chill coming towards him. The constantly squirming pink flesh turned into a snow-white ice sculpture. The huge object, dozens of meters high and weighing thousands of tons, stood on the beach, shocking and weird.

But Claude knew clearly that this thing was not dead yet. He jumped out from the cliff dozens of meters high without hesitation and drew the sword at his waist in the air. The moon in the sky reflected his figure as he turned around and drew the sword. At this moment, every strand of his hair was visible.

The sharp sword pierced through the thick ice without any hindrance, deeply piercing into the flesh below. Mercy was shaking wildly because of the intense ecstasy, and even Claude could feel the ice under his feet shaking. A large amount of blood was absorbed, and a grayish-white color representing death began to spread rapidly from the place where his sword pierced. He knew in his heart that this sword absorbed not only blood, but something that was the most fundamental thing to maintain life.

Only after seeing a pool of rotten flesh on the beach did he pull out the sword in his hand. All these strange creatures were finally eliminated. The corpses they left behind would take a long time to decompose, and during the decomposition process, it would inevitably bring adverse effects to this place.

"No, maybe it's already having a bad effect now."

Shaking off the melted mucus on his hands, Claude thought to himself that he felt the sword in his hand had undergone some changes. This change might not be noticeable, but he could clearly perceive it. Claude realized that perhaps his soul had already had some kind of connection with the sword, and this connection might have been established when he swore the oath.

Although he had changed his world and body, his soul remained unchanged. The oath he made with his soul still had some effect, and even the sword in his hand was affected.

"Well, if this thing is left here, it will probably stink for several months. I hope the Originium beasts here can clean it up, otherwise it will be troublesome."

He carefully wiped off the unknown liquid on his sword, and the others gathered around him, looking at this huge gray-white ball of flesh. In just a few minutes, a pungent fishy smell had begun to spread on the beach, and it was very penetrating, making people feel as if they had been entangled by something strange.

"Where on earth did this thing come from? I've never heard of anything like this in my hometown... Could it be some mad scientist's experiment? Sorry, sorry, maybe I've read too many novels."

Gavier sighed, but found that everyone turned around to look at him. Thinking that he had said something wrong, Gavier hurried to make amends, but he did not notice that the expression on the face of a tall and slender Vaifan woman became extremely stiff, and she turned away very embarrassedly.

"Isn't the meat of this thing edible?... Don't get me wrong, I just want to use this to feed the tamed beasts. No one would want to eat this, right?!!"

The Fidiya girl named Zumama tentatively chopped the gray rotten flesh twice with the battle axe in her hand, and then because of the splattering foul juice, she quickly jumped aside, looking at her battle axe that was covered with unknown objects, with a conflicted expression on her face, as if she wanted to throw it away but was reluctant to do so.

Laughing at his old friend for his naughty behavior, Gavial soon started to fight with the angry Zumama. However, their fight was a little dangerous for ordinary people. Claude dodged the flying gravel and was about to ask everyone to go back home and rest, but he suddenly turned his head.

A strange sound was keenly captured by Claude's ears, like the rapid vibration of stretched vocal cords, penetrating but lacking biological activity, as if it was produced by some kind of machine. It was monotonous and very strange in the dark night.

Feeling that tonight was particularly unbearable, Claude slowly turned around, and the Mercy, which had just been put into the scabbard, hung at his feet. The blade quickly turned into a terrifying beheading sword, but a pair of spikes automatically appeared under the fan-shaped blade, making it look even more ferocious. This was an autonomous change of Mercy, not controlled by Claude, but he was only slightly surprised and no longer paid attention to it.

The calm sea surface suddenly began to ripple with a large number of waves. The moonlight on the water surface was easily shattered, and a sharp shell protruded from under the water, followed by tentacles covered with dark blue scales. A creature that looked like an octopus with a shell on its back drilled out from under the water. There was a gap in the middle of the shell with spikes, and a bony tube protruded from it.

This strange-looking creature didn't pay any attention to Claude and the others. It quickly crawled on the ground with its tentacles and soon came to the pool of grayish-white rotten meat. A small tentacle with many spikes on it stretched out from its bone-white tube.

This tentacle with spikes pierced into the flesh and blood at once, just like a straw, sucking the contents into the body. The tentacle began to wriggle, and one could clearly see the object flowing in the soft tube wall. This situation lasted for dozens of seconds. When it pulled out the tentacle, Claude strangely discovered that this creature was very satisfied with the flesh and blood in front of it.

Claude inserted his sword into the beach with great interest, then squatted down, observing this strange creature like a primary school student observing an ant. At this moment, the spiny octopus began to crawl into the ocean, and in the blink of an eye it sank into the water again. Claude waited patiently, and soon the water surface began to fluctuate again.

The first thing to come out was still the spiny octopus, but the next thing that came out surprised Claude.

The orchid-colored flesh bloomed like a flower, with a slender stem underneath. There were two slender amputated limbs on the top of the stem and a gray-white bone blade at the end. It looked like a sunflower made of flesh and blood, with the tentacles under its feet wriggling rapidly, like a child's work made of plasticine, which was completely inconsistent with the logic of normal biological evolution.

The big blue flower still did not leave Claude and the others, but flew quickly to the prey he had chosen, and used the two gray-white bone blades in its hands to quickly cut the gray-white flesh. The bone blades at the tips of the slimy tentacles were extremely sharp, and it easily dug out a large piece of flesh and blood. Then it rolled up the piece of flesh and blood with its long tentacles and began to drag it into the ocean.

The original octopus with barbs was also using its tentacles to cut the flesh in front of it. More and more strange creatures began to emerge from the ocean. There were creatures with webbed limbs and a flat tail like a tadpole. There were creatures that floated in the air for some unknown reason. They were spindle-shaped and had translucent fins like flying fish. There were a lot of bone spurs on their bodies. They looked like they had no normal internal organs. They looked like fish that had been eaten.

Just like one ant after another, they worked diligently to carry this huge amount of flesh and blood. Their work efficiency was very high. In the blink of an eye, dozens of cubic meters of flesh and blood were cut away by them. Although they had dangerous weapons on their bodies, they turned a blind eye to Claude and the others next to them.

Unexpectedly, Claude could understand their thoughts. These creatures seemed to have a keen intuition and realized the danger of them. With enough food in front of them, there was naturally no need to provoke them.

Influenced by Claude, everyone began to observe these creatures with great interest, especially Saria, a scientist. She was keenly aware that these creatures had something in common. Although each one had huge differences in morphology, they had some extremely strange similarities that could not be ignored.

In addition to the tacit cooperation among these creatures, there must be some way of communication between them. Although no sound was made, each creature would not hinder the work of other creatures. They cooperated in an orderly manner to carry out the division and transportation operations without wasting any blood or flesh. In a blink of an eye, more than half of the huge meat ball was cut off by them.

The sound of flesh being cut and tentacles crawling rustled in the dark. Anyone who came to the beach at night would feel extremely frightened when hearing such sounds. However, everyone present was not an ordinary person. Gavial, who had the most carefree personality, was already preparing to catch one or two to raise. If Saria hadn't stopped her, she might have succeeded by now.

It looked like there would be no more trouble tonight. Claude had not expected that this strange marine creature could come ashore, but this world was full of all kinds of mysteries, and he had long been accustomed to it. He opened his terminal and the time was now 5:34 in the morning. In a few dozen minutes they would be able to see the sunrise.

Yelena came to his side. Compared with the daytime temperature, the temperature at this moment was already cold. But for Yelena, an Ursusian, the temperature at this moment gave her some breathing space. Claude's clothes had become a pile of rags at this moment, which looked very local.

Yelena looked at his disheveled appearance, a rare smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she took off her white cloak and handed it to him. The white skin on her hands was dazzling in the moonlight, and the whole person looked like a sculpture of ice, exuding a faint chill.

Claude reached out to take it. Although it was not considered cold for him who was used to staying in Ursus, it did ruin his image. Just as he was fastening the button of his cloak, the sound of water coming from the side came again.

But when Claude turned his head, he found that a girl with a hunter's hat on her head emerged from the water. The dripping sea water kept flowing down her hat, but her scarlet eyes were fixed on those busy strange creatures. She slowly dragged the long sword out of the water.

…………

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 208: Terrorfish and Skadi

But since he was there in an instant, Claude thought today was his lucky day as he actually met two old friends in a row in such a short time. Although the appearance of the second old friend was a little strange, it was not something worth paying attention to. Maybe the other party's race was used to living in the sea.

For example, when Claude first learned that some Ursus would get drunk after drinking honey, he was surprised for quite a long time. After all, something composed of glucose and fructose does not seem to be able to make people drunk. However, those strong Ursus would become drunk after drinking a few glasses of honey water, even though they could drink more ignitable liquor.

Although Miss Skadi almost had a conflict with them at the beginning, Claude could see that she was a very upright person, even honest. Although she looked like she didn't want to have anything to do with anyone, her personality had nothing to do with indifference.

Just when Claude wanted to say hello to Miss Skadi, the creatures next to him who had ignored them suddenly stopped moving. Just like in some games where the protagonist is discovered by the enemy while sneaking around, all the creatures turned their observation organs at the same time and stared at Skadi. Their movements were so coordinated, as if there was a common will controlling their bodies.

The next moment, these strange creatures silently covered Skadi like a piece of dark blue sea water, opened their sharp bone blades, and those shelled octopuses rapidly sprayed out sharp spikes, which immediately covered the direction where Skadi was. The petite girl was submerged by these dark blue tentacles and shells in an instant.

…………

It seems so.

…………

As the first shelled octopus flew into the sky in pieces, the surrounded Skadi began her solo dance. The pitch-black blades circulated around her body, easily cutting through the slimy tentacles and tough scales, smashing the solid shells, and turning these strange creatures into flesh and limbs smeared on the ground.

This scene was so magnificent. The silver-haired girl in black clothes had silver hair as smooth as silk spread out in the air like a skirt. She was dancing a dance of death. There was no other noise except the sound of flesh being torn and the reverberation of the sword tearing through the air. Under the silver moonlight, even the dark blue flesh had a beautiful fluorescence, making people dare not disturb her.

This scene happened so quickly that even Claude took a few seconds to understand what was going on. Then he pulled out his sword from the beach without hesitation. Although he didn't know why these strange creatures attacked Miss Skadi, the first thing he had to do now was to get rid of them.

So Claude joined Skadi's dance without hesitation. The girl's martial arts were obviously not suitable for cooperation with others. Her sword was always used to tear the enemy apart. There was no such thing as holding back. Every sword was merciless. This was the ultimate power and speed, the purest power, but for Claude, it was not difficult to cooperate with her sword.

The trajectory of this vigorous sword technique is also easy to see, so it is as if Claude is performing with Skadi. The dark sword will brush past him every time, and the swords wielded by the two people will not collide with each other at all, but will easily cut into the dark blue flesh after a short journey.

The sharp and ferocious beheading sword did not feel any resistance when cutting these marine creatures, just like cutting jelly, easily cutting through the flexible limbs and slippery scales. Soon the beach was covered with flesh and blood that glowed with blue fluorescence. After others joined in, these hundreds of creatures were quickly slaughtered.

Claude swung his sword, and all the flesh and blood remaining on the sword slid off without a trace left. For some reason, or maybe because he was full, Mercy had no intention of devouring the flesh and blood, and even had a hint of rejection.

He sheathed the sword. Claude was about to say hello to Miss Skadi, but she grabbed him without hesitation, held his hand, and immediately pulled him towards the jungle in the distance. The power that erupted in an instant was so terrifying that even Claude was a little unsteady and staggered forward a few steps.

"Get out of here, they're coming."

Seeing that Claude still refused to go with her, Skadi had to explain, then turned around and started pulling hard again.

Several people exchanged glances and began to retreat tacitly towards the jungle in the distance. In the blink of an eye, only dark blue flesh and debris were left on the beach, which looked strange and desolate in the distance.

........................

Suddenly, a strange sound was heard on the cold and silent beach. The sea surface began to fluctuate violently. The next moment, countless strange creatures broke through the water and began to swim quickly towards the shore. Their dark blue and scarlet limbs reflected a slippery color under the moonlight. The sounds of tentacles and arthropods digging in the sand could be heard sparsely. This abnormal tide began to flood towards the shore.

The dark blue flesh and blood scattered on the beach disappeared completely when the tide passed by, melting into the waves. Only the bright moon in the sky was watching this place, watching the tide begin to cover everything on the beach, whether it was the gray-white mountain of flesh or any movable creature, all were swallowed up silently at this moment.

Ten minutes later, silence fell on the beach again.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ---

Claude watched the scene in front of him silently. The moment the strange tide receded, his face became very heavy. He quickly analyzed a lot of things with his mind, and these strange and bizarre creatures made him involuntarily think of a game he had played a long time ago.

And with the terrifying characteristics of the creatures in that game, even if the creature in front of us is only one thousandth of it, it is enough to become a terrible disaster far beyond any natural disaster. At least it is definitely not something that the humans on the Terra continent can resist. This creature does not seem to be something that can evolve in nature, but rather like a biological weapon.

"So Miss Skadi, are these the things you are afraid of?"

Skadi, who was wiping the blade of the greatsword in her hand, was silent when she heard this, but she seemed to be hesitant to speak. She was not sure whether she should tell them the information, but the basic trust cultivated by fighting side by side with Claude made her decide to tell them what she knew, but she had to keep it to herself.
