Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Three days later, in the early morning.

On a dilapidated ring road, Jiang Chen walked alone, his backpack slightly bulging, a testament to his haul over the past three days.

For the past three days, he hasn't deliberately searched for monsters. He's just killed some monsters that have charged at him without thinking. He has some materials from the three-headed lion mastiff, some materials from the two tiger cats, and materials from the two-horned scaled sheep that he hunted at the beginning.

"We're heading towards County-level City 0201." Jiang Chen looked up at the dilapidated county town ahead, from which the roars of monsters could be heard from time to time.

Animals are not stupid, and monsters that have evolved through mutation are even more so. During the Great Nirvana, after constant battles with humans, some highly intelligent monsters realized that in open areas, human firearms could kill them from a distance, and they could only feel safe in complex cities.

Therefore, some cities with complex terrain and dilapidated conditions became their first choice.

Jiang Chen had killed only beast soldier-level monsters along the way, but his destination this time was naturally beast general-level monsters. Monsters with the strength of a low-level beast general would be the best, as they would yield a lot of money and would not reveal too much of his strength.

However, the troublesome thing about the monsters at the Beast General level here is that they will gather a large number of Beast Soldier level monsters, which is also a test for Jiang Chen.

"Huh, monsters?" Jiang Chen was startled and hid behind the damaged buildings around him. He saw a series of huge bovine monsters slowly walking out and foraging for food in the area.

"This is... an armored bull?" Jiang Chen compared it with the information in his mind.

The Ironclad Bull is a rather ferocious bovine monster, covered in dark fur, with huge horns on its head, and its massive size makes it look exactly like a black armored tank.

Moreover, what makes warriors even more afraid is the strength of the armored bulls. Ordinary adult armored bulls are at the level of high-level beast soldiers, and slightly stronger ones are at the level of low-level beast generals. Furthermore, they are monsters that live in groups!

There were quite a few martial artists from city number 0201, and they all knew about this group of armored bulls, and that their leader was a monster of the high-level beast general level. The martial artists who came here all avoided them.

"A herd of armored bulls, and their leader is a high-level beast general?" Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed. It was going to be difficult for him; he would need mental power to deal with them.

My purpose in coming here is to train my agility, unleash my physical potential, and accelerate my progress.

The Ironclad Bull's lair, ruled by a high-level beast general, is still a bit difficult for Jiang Chen.

"Let them go for now and go in to find other prey." Jiang Chen made up his mind, avoided the path of the armored bulls, and entered the city from another direction.

Currently, the distribution of monsters is largely based on the fact that before the Great Nirvana, pigs, dogs, cats, cows, and sheep were the most common animals in human society. Monsters formed from mutations of foxes, monkeys, scorpions, wolves, tigers, and leopards are extremely rare.

Therefore, along his journey, Jiang Chen basically encountered monsters of the pig, sheep, cow, cat, and dog types.

Jiang Chen rushed to the edge of the city, found a dilapidated building with a wide view, rushed in, blocked the entrance, and ran all the way to the rooftop.

He then took out his binoculars and began to observe his surroundings.

My target this time is definitely a monster of the Beast General level, or at the very least a high-level Beast Soldier level. Monsters of lower level not only won't have any training effect, but they are also completely worthless.

"Crackling... Glug glug..."

Jiang Chen ate two bites of high-energy food, then swallowed a mouthful of cool water from the pot, and continued to observe the target through the binoculars.

Time passed second by second, and monsters passed through his sight one after another, but he ignored them all.

They're either too weak or a group of high-level monsters that live in groups, making them too difficult to deal with.

"First, summarize your experience, hunt some monsters to hone your skills, then use your mental powers to deal with low-level monsters, and focus on dealing with monsters of the same level."

As Jiang Chen pondered this, he silently observed the monsters around him, searching for a suitable prey.

"Got it!"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at the ten cat-like monsters slowly advancing ahead. The cat-like monster in the middle had three tails that swayed gently, which was quite magical.

"A mutated cat-like monster, a three-tailed tiger-cat. Judging from its size and appearance, it should be a mid-level beast general."

"The creatures next to it are just common tiger-cat monsters, which should be high-level beast soldiers or low-level beast generals."

"As expected, cat-like monsters don't like to live in groups. In this small county, even a regular beast general-level monster is surrounded by at least dozens of other monsters."

"Furthermore, the three-tailed tiger cat among feline monsters is a mutated monster, and its price is exorbitant..."

In the Tiger Cat clan, two tails represent a beginner-level Beast General, three tails a mid-level Beast General, five tails a beginner-level Lord, seven tails a high-level Lord, and eight tails surpass the Lord level, making them the pinnacle of the Tiger Cat clan.

Among felines, those with nine tails are called Nine-Lives Cat Demons, and are among the most terrifying and highest-ranking monsters on Earth.

"Tiger cats don't like living in groups, and this is another mid-level beast general tiger cat. Let's go!"

Jiang Chen made his decision instantly; once he made the decision, he would immediately prepare to hunt.

Jiang Chen transformed into a lightning-fast phantom, leaping down from the building and charging towards the group of tiger-cats.

The leader of the three-tailed tiger cat was still walking slowly when suddenly its ears stood up, its fur bristled, and it saw the direction Jiang Chen was rushing towards, letting out a piercing scream.

At the leader's shout, the tiger-cats charged fearlessly toward Jiang Chen.

"Die!"

Jiang Chen brandished his spear and charged towards the tiger cats that were running towards him.

Jiang Chen kept his eyes fixed on the front. He saw a tiger cat pounce first. He lightly stepped forward and dodged the tiger cat with a quick movement. At the same time, he thrust out his spear and pierced the tiger cat's soft belly.

Blood gushed out, but Jiang Chen remained unfazed. The tiger cat he had stabbed struggled desperately, while more tiger cats charged towards him from the front.

With a flick of his arm, Jiang Chen sent the stabbed tiger cat flying. The tiger cat, as big as a calf, was thrown heavily to the ground.

As Jiang Chen killed a tiger-cat monster, another tiger-cat beside him opened its blood-red mouth and pounced on Jiang Chen.

"Tiger Cat, as expected of a feline monster, is not only fast, but its reaction speed is also much better than that of ordinary monsters."

Jiang Chen sighed inwardly, but his hands did not stop. He swung his spear down fiercely, the shaft of the spear lashing out like a whip at the tiger-cat that pounced on him.

After being whipped, the enormous tiger cat was also in bad shape, howling in pain as it collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.

In a single exchange, one of the tiger cats was killed by Jiang Chen's stab, and the other was also severely injured and rendered useless.

Just as Jiang Chen was preparing to deal with the next tiger cat, a bloody smell wafted towards him. Jiang Chen's eyes widened as he saw the three-tailed tiger cat rushing towards him without him even realizing it.

"So fast, so cunning!"

Jiang Chen was startled. He took a deep breath and used the secret technique of the first level of the "World Destruction" spear technique. The spear thrust suddenly became faster and more fierce, stabbing towards the three-tailed tiger cat.

stab, stab...

The tip of the spear grazed the skin of the three-tailed tiger cat, but it only left a shallow wound, with only a few drops of blood, which greatly surprised Jiang Chen.

"Such tough fur, no wonder it's a tiger cat of intermediate beast general level."

"Let's clear the area first, kill the henchmen around here, and then we'll have some fun with you."

Jiang Chen began using a microscopic movement technique to dodge attacks from the surrounding tiger-cats while killing ordinary tiger-cat monsters.

The three-tailed tiger-cat roared, trying to kill him, but repeatedly missed Jiang Chen, only able to watch helplessly as its subordinates were eliminated one by one.

This illustrates the importance of movement techniques.

"Sizzle."

When Jiang Chen killed the last tiger cat, only Jiang Chen and the three-tailed tiger cat remained at the scene.

"I'll play with you for a while." Jiang Chen smiled and charged towards the three-tailed tiger cat.

Through repeated battles with the tiger cat, Jiang Chen's proficiency in the temporarily mastered World-Destroying Spear Technique rapidly improved, and his movement skills also gradually increased.

"Sizzle..."

A moment later, Jiang Chen pierced one of the three-tailed tiger cat's legs. The three-tailed tiger cat let out an angry roar, but it was somewhat timid.

However, at this point, it could no longer afford to remain idle. Jiang Chen, wielding the Blood Cloud Spear, was pressing forward relentlessly.

Having lost a leg, the three-tailed tiger cat's speed and agility were greatly reduced. Finally, after a while, the hunt came to an end when Jiang Chen pierced the tiger cat's throat with the Blood Cloud Spear.

The massive, heavy three-tailed tiger-cat collapsed to the ground with a thud, losing its life.

Jiang Chen won and began to harvest his spoils, cutting up valuable materials from the monster.
