God-Like Extraction Chapter 136 - Giant Mouth

Chapter 136: Giant Mouth

Yan Yuanfeng was shocked and his mouth subconsciously dropped wide open.

Swoosh!

A figure swiftly rushed out from behind him. It was Zhao Zhongyi.

In a flash, Zhao Zhongyi arrived beside the shadow. He looked down and examined it before exclaiming, “It really is Shi Jinnian!”

Swish! Swish!

Li Lilou, Zhou Wencen and the rest used their movement techniques and drifted over.

“Heh, it really is Shi Jinnian.” Zhou Wencen narrowed his eyes.

“Where did you kill him, Guest Elder Lin?” Li Lilou had thought further and raised his head to look at the sky.

“Yes, yes. Wasn’t Shi Jinnian still at the Shi residence? How?” Yan Yuanfeng came back to his senses and was equally curious.

“Need you ask? Clearly, Shi Jinnian had long escaped through the underground tunnel.” Zhao Zhongyi a.n.a.lyzed in a low voice. “Only, he was unlucky. Before he left the city, he was caught by Guest Elder Lin!”

“Pretty much that.”

Su Jingxing stood at the top of the building and recounted coolly, “Shi Jinnian and the last of the Shi Family elites tried to leave through the underground tunnel, but I found them and sent them to meet their ancestors. I’ve already disposed of the corpses, leaving Shi Jinnian’s head as a proof.”

“Rest a.s.sured, Guest Lin. We will gather your share immediately. I guarantee that within three days, it will be transferred into your account,” Li Lilou replied tactfully.

“That’s good.” Su Jingxing didn’t stay for long. He said, “In that case, I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, his figure flashed as he soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

“Hey, wait!”

Yan Yuanfeng shouted and wanted to say something, but it was too late. He could only watch as Su Jingxing flew into the night.

“Why, Deputy Sect Master Yan wants to invite Guest Elder Lin to join your sect?” Li Lilou chuckled lightly.

“You make it sound like you don’t want to.” Yan Yuanfeng looked at him disdainfully.

“…” Li Lilou said, “You are right. I also wish to extend an offer to him. Unfortunately, as you can see, Guest Elder Lin has no intention of joining any faction. I’m afraid that even if I do propose it, it would be in vain.”

“Heh, if you don’t, the more he won’t have any plans to join you.” Yan Yuanfeng sneered.

“That’s enough,” Zhou Wencen interrupted. “Guest Elder Lin has already dealt with Shi Jinnian. What do we do next? Do we continue the encirclement?”

“And who will we exterminate? The old, weak, women, and children in the Shi residence?” Yan Yuanfeng said in contempt. “Commander Li is watching right over there. You dare to rush in and start a ma.s.sacre?”

“Even if we don’t kill them, we still have to deal with them,” Zhao Zhongyi said in a low voice. “The Martial Suppression Office is only responsible for maintaining stability and the overall situation. The Shi Family’s businesses still needs to be handled by someone.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”

Yan Yuanfeng lifted Shi Jinnian’s head and said seriously, “Since Shi Jinnian is dead, the remaining members of the Shi Family are nothing to worry about. If we can take over the businesses without using weapons or seeing corpses, I think it would be great.”

“That… makes sense.”

…

Whoosh!

In the night sky, Su Jingxing’s figure flickered as he stepped on the air like he was walking on flat ground.

Executing the Eight Steps Rising Dragon and circulating his true energy, he rushed towards the Tai Ming Mountain ten miles outside the city.

The entrance to the Jin Mushen’s treasure trove was located underground in the northwestern corner of the Tai Ming Mountain Reservoir.

This news had reached him in perfect time.

After settling Shi Jinnian and the Shi Family’s matters, Su Jingxing continued without stop and rushed over.

The searching team dispatched by the Shi Family was still waiting by the reservoir on Shi Jinnian’s orders.

If Su Jingxing didn’t hurry and get rid of them, the information of the entrance to Jin Mushen’s treasure trove might leak out.

At that time, a crowd would break into the underground cave to dig up treasures and seize them.

That was not what Su Jingxing wanted to see.

As long as he could get rid of the Shi Family’s searching team, he would be the only one to know about the entrance to Jin Mushen’s treasure trove.

Su Jingxing would then have plenty of time to slowly explore it.

For that.

Su Jingxing didn’t calculate how much true energy he had expended. He flew as fast as he could to Tai Ming Mountain, arriving above the reservoir.

Under the night sky, a group of people stood at the northwest corner of the reservoir. Some of them had electric lamps in their hands, while others carried firearms. They were vigilant of their surroundings in the night wind and waited quietly.

Swoosh!

Su Jingxing did not hide and directly descended from the sky, landing on the sh.o.r.e 10 meters away from them.

“Who is it!”

The Shi Family searching team, who were waiting, sensed the stir. The leader of the team swung around and glared at Su Jingxing. He shouted, “Raise your hands!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The guns and weapons that the others were holding were also pointed at Su Jingxing.

“All of you are here?”

Su Jingxing listened to his surroundings to see if he had missed anyone.

“What does this have to do with you?” The leader shouted in a low voice, wariness emerging in his eyes.

The fact that Su Jingxing was able to descend from the sky meant that he was at least in the sixth-grade. He had cultivated an advanced lightness skill and could fly in the air using his true energy.

Sixth-grade. Although the leader was in the same realm, he was only in the sixth-grade.

That might not necessarily be the case for Su Jingxing.

In the middle of the night, an expert in the middle ranks descended from the sky and inquired about their situation.

Even a fool would know that they had been exposed.

At this thought, the leader gritted his teeth and said, “We’re from the Shi Family, you…”

“I know.”

Su Jingxing interrupted, “I know you’re from the Shi Family. I happened to come from the Shi residence. Your Patriarch, Shi Jinnian is already dead.”

“What?”

“Impossible!”

…

Everyone cried out in shock and disbelief.

“You’re lying!”

The leader gritted his teeth and said, “Our Patriarch won’t die so easily. Even if you want to lie, you’ll have to find something convincing enough.”

“Heh, you think Shi Jinnian won’t die so easily because you know that he had gotten into hiding in a secret base?” Su Jingxing chuckled.

The leader’s expression turned grim and fearful.

He knows!

Su Jingxing actually knew about it!

How was this possible? How was this possible!?

“I’ll ask again…”

Swoosh!

Bang bang bang!

The sound of crossbow bolts shooting intensely and pistols spitting fire suddenly rang out.

Without waiting for Su Jingxing to finish, the man took the lead and launched a surprise attack.

If it were anyone else, they might have been struck.

After all, there were many martial artists who died due to sneak attacks.

Su Jingxing was different. He was already prepared. He had spent time talking to the leader because he wanted to scan the surroundings to make sure that no one was missing. At the same time, he wanted to monitor the emotions of the man and his group.

The result was satisfactory. No one was lying in ambush around them. This basically eliminated the possibility of the news being spread to another party.

Right now, the only ones who knew about the entrance to Jin Mushen’s treasure trove were these few people here.

So——

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Boom! Boom!

Su Jingxing’s figure flashed as he quickly threw a punch.

He released his true energy externally. The silvery-black fist imprint carried a terrifying strength. It burst out with 500,000 catties of strength instead of a million, blasting apart the air.

With just two punches, the leader and his men were all killed.

Stepping forward a little, Su Jingxing extracted the cards. Su Jingxing started to search the corpses but did not find anything good.

He looked around and saw two off-road vehicles parked outside the entrance of the reservoir.

His figure flashed and he flew over at once.

He searched the two cars and as expected, found many things. There were weapons, firearms, explosives, fishing nets, fishing spears, diving suits, and other tools.

Corpse Dissolving Liquid was naturally included.

Corpse Dissolving Liquid was almost a necessity when heading out for missions.

This liquid was specially designed to dissolve corpses. It was the best tool to destroy corpses and rid all traces.

Grabbing the Corpse Dissolving Liquid, he returned to the reservoir and took care of the corpses of the searching team.

Su Jingxing put away the remaining Corpse Dissolving Liquid and released his true energy to envelope his entire body. With a splash, he jumped into the water.

Holding his breath, he first activated Night Vision and searched the bottom of the northwestern corner. Sure enough, he saw an underground cave.

This underground cave was also one of the sources of water in the reservoir.

The entrance was a little more than a meter wide, just enough for one person to enter.

Su Jingxing, who was not wearing a diving suit, easily got in.

He moved along the wall of the cave for less than 20 meters before they suddenly saw an entrance on the wall.

He turned around easily and continued along the pathway.

After circling around for about 50 meters, a huge pond appeared above his head.

A cave inside of the mountain?

A entrance to a treasure trove with a hidden Mutated Beast?

Su Jingxing saw this and did not hesitate. He crawled out of the tunnel and came to the pond in the cave.

He floated up slightly, and went above the water surface.

He looked around and realized that the pond was rather large.

The four sides were basically tunnel walls, and there was slippery water vapor everywhere.

Above the pond, some stalact.i.tes hung down.

And in the northeastern corner was a slippery slope. Above the slippery slope was an open doorway.

In Su Jingxing’s Night Vision, there was a stone path in the cave.

As for where it led to, it was unknown for the time being. But, he guessed that it was probably be the location of Jin Mushen’s treasure.

With this in mind, Su Jingxing jumped out of the water and flew towards the slippery slope.

In a flash, he arrived at the open doorway.

Standing here, Su Jingxing turned his head to look at the pond behind him. He surveyed it.

“Didn’t they say that there was a Mutated Beast in the water?”

In the information that the Shi Family’s searching team relayed to Shi Jinnian, it was said that there was a Mutated Beast in the pond.

Su Jingxing had already come ash.o.r.e, but he still did not see any Mutated Beasts.

He activated the Advanced Hearing and still didn’t hear anything unusual.

“Or could it be that the Mutated Beast has happened to go somewhere else?”

Su Jingxing retracted his gaze and turned around. He mumbled as he prepared to walk into the door.

But the moment he stepped into the cave, he felt an alarming sense of danger.

Almost instantly, he hastily retreated backwards.

The moment Su Jingxing moved backwards, a huge mouth suddenly appeared in the doorway where it was originally empty.

A huge mouth that had just closed!

Pu!

The giant mouth that bit into nothing, made strange noises, and lots of saliva flew everywhere.

Su Jingxing retreated again and took a good look at the giant mouth.

Crocodile!

It was a gigantic translucent crocodile!

Its tail stretched out more than 20 meters, and half of it was on the other side of the bend.

The opened eyes were like gems, shining brightly.

When opened, the mouth was about two meters tall, as tall as the doorway.

What was rare was that there was no strange smell coming from the mouth nor was there any stench on its body.

At first glance, it looked like a cartoon version of a gigantic crocodile. It was lying behind the door and did not emit any aura.

Its heartbeat, breathing, and aura were all concealed.

Su Jingxing’s Advanced Hearing didn’t catch any of them at all.

A giant crocodile that could conceal its aura, heartbeat, and even turn invisible.

No wonder the Shi Family’s searching team had no choice but to escape immediately after reaching here.

If not for the fact that the tunnel beneath the pond was too small to accommodate the gigantic crocodile, the searching team might not have been able to escape.

With their earlier provocation, the giant crocodile even left the pond and waited at the doorway.

It opened its mouth and turned invisible, waiting for its prey to walk in by himself.

Although Su Jingxing’s physical body had reached the limits of the human body and his protective true energy also carried an extremely strong defensive ability,

if he had really walked into the crocodile’s mouth and been bitten by it, even if he did not break it on the spot, his skin would have been torn apart and a few bones would have been broken.

The bite force of a crocodile was already terrifying, not to mention this giant crocodile that had already become a Mutated Beast!

“d.a.m.n it, I almost fell for it…”

Su Jingxing broke out in a cold sweat, killing intent bursting forth from his eyes.

He originally thought that with more than 300 years of cultivation, as long as there were no martial artists in the top ranks, he would not need to fear anyone.

To think, he almost died in a crocodile’s stomach while searching for treasures this time.

Compared to human martial artists, Mutated Beasts were undoubtedly a much greater threat.

A crocodile that could turn invisible, conceal its aura and heartbeat. Before this, he had never even heard of it, let alone seen one!

Roar!

As Su Jingxing remained vigilance, the giant crocodile that did not manage to catch its prey could not hold back anymore. With a roar, its translucent body rushed out of the doorway.

Whoosh!

A strong wind accompanied by a large amount of waterspray spurted out from the mouth of the giant crocodile. An invisible force instantly spread above the pond.

In an instant, Su Jingxing felt the shackles in the air. At the same time, a huge pressure enveloped his shoulders and head, forcing him to fall into the water.

Boom!

Without thinking, Su Jingxing who had sensed that something was wrong resisted the pressure. He mobilized 300 years of true energy cultivation, and exploded with terrifying force. He threw a punch at the giant crocodile that was pouncing at him.

A silvery-black fist imprint appeared out of thin air. It carried an incomparably powerful force as it pa.s.sed through the air and accurately struck the giant crocodile. It was sent flying back on the spot and exploded in midair with a loud bang.

Blood, bits of flesh, and internal organs splattered all over the ground, most of them falling into the water.

[Mutated Beast Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]

“Yes!”

Su Jingxing responded and let out a breath, floating in midair.

It was within his expectations that the giant crocodile would explode on the spot from the punch containing his full strength.

What surprised Su Jingxing was that the giant crocodile’s flesh, which had been turned into minced bits, also turned transparent after death and sank into the water.

“This fellow, did it become a transparent species after turning into a Mutated Beast?”

Su Jingxing murmured.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up a few pieces of the flesh and put them into his palm s.p.a.ce. When he returned, he would try to cook them and have a taste.

Mutated Beast flesh was even more nutritious, and it was very helpful for the training and tempering of the body.

For a person like Su Jingxing who had already cultivated true energy, the help it could provide was limited.

Because of this, Su Jingxing only took a few pieces instead of everything.

It was just for a taste. A few pieces was enough.

After a short rest, he continued forward.

However, this time, before Su Jingxing through the doorway, he would release his throwing daggers beforehand. He used them scout ahead to prevent himself from accidentally entering a dangerous spot again.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The three throwing daggers flew in front while Su Jingxing followed behind.

He walked on a winding path for about five minutes.

A huge underground cave came into view.

The moment Su Jingxing walked into the cave, his eyes widened!
