Chapter 78: Triangular Black Rhinoceros
、
Baiju Star, with a vast territory, takes the military base of the Military Department as its center and is divided into three alert zones in a hierarchical manner: green, orange and red alert zones.
The green warning zone has a diameter of 1,200 kilometers. The beasts and monsters that exist here are mostly equivalent to the strength of second- and third-level warriors, making it suitable for low-level warriors to hunt alone.
Orange Alert Zone, the strength of monsters is at least that of a third-class warrior, and the distribution of monsters is dense, with few low-level warriors entering the Orange Alert Zone alone.
The largest red alert zone in terms of area, the military has not fully explored the situation to this day. Generally, only intermediate warriors above level 4 will venture into the red alert zone.
After introducing the general situation of Bai Yu Xing, Colonel Cheng said: "Sun Yan, comrade, your task for these two and a half months is very simple. You need to hunt an average of 200 secondary monsters or 50 tertiary monsters every day, and the survival trial of Bai Yu Xing will be considered completed."
"On average, it only takes hunting 200 secondary monsters or 50 tertiary monsters per day to pass the survival trial?" Sun Yan confirmed once again.
With Sun's current strength, it was no problem at all to challenge a level 3 monster of higher intensity, let alone a level 2 monster. If the requirements for passing the survival trial were so simple, he found it hard to believe that there would be a reward of 300 credits.
Could it be that Feng Yan is using his power for personal gain and giving my brother a backdoor?
Sun Yan looked puzzled, and Cheng Chen smiled slightly, saying seriously: "Sun Yan, although you are a genius student of Emperor Wind College, I still have to remind you. Never enter the orange alert zone alone, there are often small-scale beast tides inside, if unfortunately encountered, even a fourth-level warrior would find it difficult to escape."
"Don't worry, Colonel Cheng, I'm quite timid." Sun Yan replied with a smile.
"Very well, you may begin your trial at any time."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Sun Yan turned around and left the office, eager to start the survival trial as soon as possible.
A moment later, a knock at the door of the office was heard, and then three soldiers rushed in, furious.
"Cheng Shangxiao, that little brat from Emperor Wind Academy went too far."
"That's right! After the medical team treated him just now, Li Zhongshi will have to lie down for at least three to five days."
"That little brat even snatched the genetic fluid of Li Zhongshi and his men, he absolutely cannot be let off lightly. Sir, you can't just let this little brat go!"
Quietly listening to his subordinates' complaints, Cheng Chen raised his head and said: "What? Not as good as others, got beaten. Are you ready for me, this superior officer, to take the blame? Don't you have any brains? How many students of Emperor Feng College are not wasteful?"
Upon hearing this, the three soldiers looked embarrassed and couldn't utter a word.
Cheng Chen smiled again and said: "However, since I am your leader, this matter cannot be ignored. That little guy will soon taste the bitter consequences."
The three soldiers' eyes lit up, and one of them guessed: "Officer, didn't you issue protective gear to that little kid?"
"I'm the officer in charge here, Sun Yan that little brat hit my soldier, of course I have to teach him a lesson."
Cheng Chen's eyes gleamed with cunning behind his glasses as he said calmly, "The nights on Bai Yu Xing are extremely cold, often reaching temperatures of minus 30 degrees. Without the temperature control device in the protective suit, a second-level warrior can only exert half their strength, and getting injured is inevitable. When that kid gets hurt and returns to base, you'll know what to do."
The three soldiers were delighted and burst out laughing, praising their commander's wisdom.
"Don't worry, boss, when that kid comes back injured, we'll take good care of him."
"Haha, by then, that kid will definitely regret what he did today."
"Take advantage of the kid's injury, beat him twice a day, make him eat bitter melon, and he'll be too miserable to speak."
Looking at these three soldiers, Cheng Chen shook his head helplessly and warned: "Be careful with your tone, that kid was introduced by Feng Yan."
Feng Yan?
"That battle maniac!"
The faces of the three soldiers changed at the same time, and they looked fearful and timid.
Cheng Chen leaned back in his chair, laughing: "So, grasp the measure well. Let's follow the treatment that Feng Yan received at first. If Sun Yan can't bear it when he comes, then Feng Yan won't have anything to say either."
"That's right, Colonel Cheng is wise."
"Hmph, great. In this era, it's still most refreshing to deal with those martial arts geniuses."
"Right, just like Feng Yan's treatment. That guy was crying out in agony back then, and I still remember the look on his face!"
Immediately afterwards, a burst of loud laughter erupted in the office.
……
In the dead of night, the white prison star was a piece of deathly silence, as if this planet had no life existing.
The earth is desolate, with ruins of buildings everywhere. The cold wind blows, but not a speck of dust can be seen. The night sky is starless and moonless, with thick clouds covering the entire sky like a solid substance.
A figure was running quickly on the road, moving silently like a ghost, darting from one shadow to another.
As I sneaked into the ruins, a faint curse sounded: "Damn it, Cheng Chen, brother, I was so careful, but still got cheated."
In the ruins, Sun Yan hid behind a broken wall, circulating his internal yuan throughout his body while muttering a low curse.
Not long after leaving the military base, Sun Yan realized that he had been set up by General Cheng Chen because he found that the night of Bai Yu Xing was too cold. If he didn't activate his yuan force to protect himself, he wouldn't be able to walk for much longer before his body would freeze stiff. Only then did he think of the protective suit, which was a basic piece of equipment for interstellar pioneering exploration.
But Sun Yan was reluctant to go back and ask for a set of protective clothing.
Who knows if the protective clothing will restrict movement of hands and feet, causing even more trouble at critical moments. In short, this is a disaster caused by inexperience.
However, such coldness did not cause much trouble for Sun Yan.
An ordinary second-class warrior would probably not last an hour in such an environment and would need to stop to catch their breath and recover. But Sun Yan had the "Dragon Stabilizing Pill" to replenish his energy, so even if he ran non-stop for three hours, it wouldn't be a huge burden.
The only thing that made Sun Yun feel uncomfortable was the cold wind blowing on his body, and the piercing pain was quite unbearable.
Standing behind a broken wall, stepping on the town dragon pillar, feeling the thick power rolling out from underground, pouring into the body along with both feet, and the body is immediately warm.
Standing quietly in the shadows, Sun Yan silently observed his surroundings. He was now in the ruins of a city. Judging from the broken walls and remaining walls around him, this city had been destroyed for more than a hundred years.
The entire city was in ruins and dead silence, with the green alert zones mostly being swept by the base's military forces. The interstellar mercenaries were all formed into small teams, heading to the orange alert zone for hunting. Moreover, the area of White Prison Planet was too vast, making it difficult to encounter a living person, but corpses and skeletons were easy to come across.
Over 100 years ago, at the outbreak of the Fourth Snoo River War, the JW Alliance launched a massive attack on the humanoid alliance, with the flames of war spreading to thousands of star domains. The Odin Star Domain, led by the Earth Union, was also not spared. Countless planets were reduced to ruins, and Byakuren was one of them.
Feeling the desolation of the city ruins, Sun Yan's mood was calm and unruffled. His eyes suddenly turned and cast towards a nearby shadow.
Thud... thud... thud..., the heavy footsteps approached, and from the nearby shadows, a dark figure slowly emerged, with a pair of blood-red eyes glowing in the darkness.
This is a giant rhinoceros, its entire body covered in black leather, as if it's wearing a layer of metallic armor. On its forehead are three sharp horns that shine with a cold light, and its eyes glow red like embers, filled with an aura of slaughter. Its massive body is the size of an armored vehicle, and every step it takes makes the ground tremble, taking one's breath away.
Black Rhinoceros!
Sun Yan's eyebrows jumped, this was a strange beast, and it was also an extremely frightening existence among the second-level strong intensity strange beasts.
It is said that the Triangular Black Rhinoceros is a pure-blooded alien beast of the JW Alliance, and the three rhino horns on its forehead can pierce E-grade alloys. In front of the Triangular Black Rhinoceros, those monsters in Mount Wanjun are simply equivalent to tame pets.
"The triangular black rhinoceros is just right for testing the power of new combat skills."
Staring at this triangular black rhinoceros, Sun Yan's eyes lit up, revealing a eager expression, and slowly walked out from behind the broken wall.
In the dark of night, the Triangular Black Rhinoceros immediately noticed Sun Yan's presence. The beast's sensory abilities far surpassed those of ordinary wild beasts, and it possessed extremely strong aggression.
The scarlet cow eyes flashed a hint of ferocity, a low growl, the triangular black rhinoceros head pressed down, four hooves moved, and it charged over with a loud rumble, three rhinoceros horns gleaming with cold light in the darkness.
The ground kept shaking, as if a large armored vehicle was rushing towards us head-on, crushing everything in its path.
Rumble!
A dull thud, dust flying everywhere, that broken wall was like a paper paste, instantly being smashed open by the rhinoceros horn.
Bang!
A figure flashed, Sun Yan appeared beside the triangular black rhinoceros, a whirlwind swirled around his body, his palms flew like flying, 12 consecutive palms heavily slapped on its body, one palm faster than the other, swift and fierce force, instantly knocked this rhino to fly sideways, its huge body crashed into the ruins, splashing up waves of dust.
Sun Yan did not continue to pursue, but stood there waving his hand repeatedly, baring his teeth and saying: "This cowhide is really thick, it's numb from the shock. No wonder others say that exotic beast leather is a natural protective material."
Boom, boom, boom... Amidst the ruins, a loud explosion erupted, sending sand and rocks flying in all directions. The triangular black rhinoceros burst out, its sturdy hooves pounding the ground as it lowered its head, its three horns on its forehead glinting with cold light, fiercely charging at Sun Yan once again.
Feeling the strong wind rushing towards him, Sun Yan took a deep breath, his arms hanging down, fists clenched, and his feet moved swiftly as he activated 【Hurricane Step】, his body momentarily splitting into two.
Two fists struck out, one left and one right, respectively pounding on both sides of the neck of the triangular black rhinoceros, issuing two muffled drumbeats.
Crack!
A crisp cracking sound of bone, the head of the triangular black rhinoceros presented an unnatural curvature, its massive body due to inertia did not stop, and rushed forward for tens of meters before finally stopping.
With a thud, this second-level mutant beast fell to the ground, and strands of fresh blood flowed out from its seven orifices, without any signs of life left.
Not far away, Sun Yan spat out a mouthful of turbid air and muttered: "【Tiger Slaughter Absolute Kill】It's no wonder it's a top-notch four-star battle skill, with extremely strong destructive power. Even the Three-Horned Black Rhinoceros, which is renowned for its defense, would find it difficult to withstand the might of this battle skill."
Walking up to the corpse of the Triangular Black Rhinoceros, Sun Yan took out an alloy knife and cut off three rhino horns. This was proof of hunting a monster.
Having done all this, Sun Yang had just turned around when his body suddenly stiffened, because in the shadows ahead, a pair of crimson cow eyes flickered and appeared one after another.
"Grandma's bear, when did it start that even rhinos like group hunting?" Sun Yan cursed to himself.
