Chapter 939 - 282: Contest for Supremacy
"Once the task is done, we’ll leave here quickly."
"The radiation here is too severe!"
"Activate the startup device!"
The leader of the Expedition Corps, Cyber, climbed to the top from the back of the Apocalypse Giant Elephant, waving the Secret Technique Staff, performing secret techniques to guide and drive the Apocalypse Giant Elephant.
Every leader of the Expedition Corps is the primary operator of the Apocalypse Giant Elephant, and each operator has extremely high requirements. While operating the Apocalypse Giant Elephant, they occasionally endure mental storms from the Alternate Space, which ordinary Extraordinary can’t withstand. Lightly, they may sustain mental damage and faint on the spot; heavily, they might undergo mental distortion, lose control, and turn into monsters.
They have already lost quite a few people here, only to seal again the immortal monster trying to crawl out from underground.
This is the boundary outside the civilized world, their limit of exploration. Beyond this point lies death alone, which even the most powerful Extraordinary can’t resist.
Amidst deafening roars, the colossal Apocalypse Giant moved. Each step on the ruins caused fierce shaking.
About dozens of different laser cannons are installed on the Giant Elephant, with varying powers and different firing modes. Some cover a large area, some possess strong penetration ability, while others can melt at high temperatures.
In this place, not only zombies don’t know fear, but most Extraordinary Creatures also lack fear.
The gigantic figure of the elephant is too conspicuous, prompting the creatures in the nearby area to seemingly unite, jointly resisting this "foreign enemy."
Su Changxing was initially planning to leave this chaotic place with Big Horn but paused after seeing several Tier Eight Extraordinary Creatures also charging onward. Big Horn wanted to join in but was held back by him.
It seems that even Tier Eight creatures are only courting death against that elephant.
A Tier Eight Extraordinary creature covered entirely in purple crystals, as robust as a rhino, was sliced in half by a laser, appearing as easily as cutting tofu.
Su Changxing widened his eyes, focused on the Tier Eight Extraordinary creature slain by the laser, and followed behind at a leisurely pace. Their goal was originally to hunt Tier Eight Extraordinary creatures, and now they can seize the opportunity, how delightful.

Due to the large size of the elephant, it appeared to move slowly, but in reality, its speed was extremely fast. In no time, it reached the next block, leaving them only capable of seeing a large shadow cast under the sunlight from afar.
Su Changxing and Big Horn ran toward the corpse of the Tier Eight Extraordinary creature, but they weren’t the only ones with this idea. Other creatures also had the same intention.
A sharp, ear-piercing sound arose, like a woman’s scream.
A not-so-tall figure sprang from the ruins, clad in tattered white clothes, slender body, with long, pitch-black hair—an eight-tier zombie.
Its speed was extremely fast, like a gust of wind, arriving in front of them in an instant, knocking Big Horn to the ground, relentlessly clawing at him with its sharp talons.
Big Horn tried to struggle but was subdued, unable to move, with a massive bloody cavity gouged out of his chest.
One-Breath Fury.
Su Changxing slashed with the blade as soon as Big Horn was knocked down, the blade transformed into a sharp shadow in the air.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Several consecutive impacts resonated.
The Tier Eight zombie used its claw with precision to fend off Su Changxing’s three strikes, leaving clear marks on its hand with each strike, and severing one of its claw fingers with the third strike.
Meanwhile.
Big Horn remained firmly suppressed on the ground, unable to move, as if bound by an unusual force, continuously struggling.
Judging by this, Big Horn’s combat capability is indeed quite low, completely overwhelmed by this same-tier zombie. If Su Changxing weren’t present, there might be no continuation.
The fourth strike.
Su Changxing severed one of the eight-tier zombie’s arms.
Followed by the fifth strike, each faster than the last, each strike growing in power, reaching the pinnacle of explosive force by the fifth strike. If unable to kill the opponent, he’d have to retreat.
Due to suppressing Big Horn, the eight-tier zombie couldn’t dodge but bore the hit head-on, shielding with its other arm in an attempt to fend off Su Changxing’s furious blade as before.
"Die!"
Su Changxing severed the other arm of the eight-tier zombie while continuing to slash its head, accompanied by the sound of bones shattering, the blade halted halfway in.
This strike was lethal, yet not completely fatal.
He decisively withdrew his blade, retreating, as the eight-tier zombie rose and lunged at him with its mouth open, abandoning its hold on Big Horn.
Big Horn seized a breather, swiftly climbing up from the ground, leaping at the eight-tier zombie from behind and pinning it down, reversing the attack immediately.
Previously beneath, now he’s above.
Su Changxing retreated two steps, refraining from further action, instead standing in place, quietly regulating his breathing, observing Big Horn gradually cut open the body of the Tier Eight zombie.
"Hah!"
Big Horn retrieved a gray, egg-sized, smooth Extraordinary Crystal from the zombie’s body with one hand and threw it back to Su Changxing.
"Well done."
Su Changxing caught the Extraordinary Crystal tossed by Big Horn, praised him, then popped it into his mouth.
This time the taste was bitter, like an emotion mingling within the Extraordinary Crystal, spreading as it’s absorbed, simultaneously sensing such an emotion.
The disturbances caused by the Mechanical Giant Elephant were too tremendous, drawing creatures from all around with lurking eyes. No fewer than four or five Tier Eight Extraordinary creatures emerged near the ruins, gazing in Su Changxing’s direction.
Right after.
Beside another corpse, two Tier Eight Extraordinary creatures engaged in combat. One appeared to be a zombie, with a colorful red sunflower on its head, battling a massive double-headed rat.
The two creatures clashed fiercely over the corpse. The red sunflower extended tendrils, crushing one of the rat’s heads, while the rat’s other head voraciously bit off much of the zombie’s head.
Both sides fought intensely, until a tendril from the sunflower pierced the rat’s body through its rear, ending the brutal battle.
Yet before the sunflower-headed zombie could enjoy the spoils, another creature, resembling a wolfhound, dashed down from the ruins.
