Chapter 748: The Doctor’s aspiration
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Just when Sheyan called out 'careful', that supposedly 'dead' german shepherd suddenly pounced up with frightening speed and bit Mogensha.
Concurrently, the other german shepherds unanimously lunged towards him.
"Ring hunting instincts...." A thought jolted through Sheyan's mind.
In a flash, Sheyan drew his '+7 West'. Shrilling oceanic-blue glitters showered down, as he cleaved down onto the waist of the nearest german shepherd.
Although Sheyan unloaded his full strength, he could distinctly feel; his sharply unmatched saber met with an exceptionally tough and obstinate resistance from the german shepherd's skin.
Still, his saber delivered astronomical damage, prompting this mutated german shepherd to swing back ferociously and chomp onto his saber blade. As its sharp canine fangs scratched against metal, it produced heart-wrenching screeches.
The german shepherd glared at Sheyan viciously with its crimson eyes, channeling a venomous hatred that scorched against Sheyan's face.
The german shepherd fiercely flung its head around, its incisive, steel-like teeth still clinging tightly onto Sheyan's '+7 West' saber. To prevent the dog's unexplainably massive strength from disarming him, Sheyan clenched his saber's hilt tightly with both hands.
All of a sudden, the mutated german shepherd loosened its grip. If he was facing a human, Sheyan would naturally heighten his vigilance. Instead, he didn't consider much when squaring off with a domesticated beast. While attempting to wrestle back his saber from the dog, Sheyan didn't expect it to abruptly loosen its grip, causing him to stagger backwards.
Seizing this opening, the mutated german shepherd bared its brutally sharp fangs and chomped towards Sheyan's throat.
Meanwhile, Reef naturally wasn't idling. He barreled forth to protect Mogensha from a mutated german shepherd that pounced towards him; blood splattered everywhere as the two clashed.
After being burnt by Mogensha's ability previously, the dog's skin exhibited a scorched brown lustre and with its disheveled crumpled fur, it looked like a travesty. Still, its awe-inspiring canine fangs remained deathly intimidating.
Reef released his 'Cardiac Shattering Roar' as a formless ripple swept out, gusting against those mutated dogs, causing them to stagger while charging in.
Yet before the nearest mutated dog lost its balance, it released a bark and spat out a mouthful of dark-greenish liquid over. A foul stench instantly pierced the air as Reef quivered and blocked his front with his 'Grasp of Pharaoh Welkhahor' shield.
Zi urgently commanded.
"Don't block it, move aside!"
Sadly, Reef wasn't agile enough. Moreover, if he dodged away, Brother Black would be struck. Thus, he could only grit his teeth and endure.
All of a sudden, Zi's long hair fluttered up as she hovered in mid-air.
Her nightmare imprint at her chest was flickering brilliantly!
Revolving around her, one of the six rhombus mana crystals shattered into starry mana fragments before dissolving into her body.
Following that, Zi stretched forth her finger as she emanated an imposing sensation of holding supremacy over heaven and earth.
Within a second, a limitless suction force gathered to her front, back, left, and right. Then, eight 'Force Walls' formed around her and with a sonorous rumble, blasted out in eight directions!
Force Alternate-Shuddering Wall!!
Within an instance, the trio felt a strong gust assailing their faces; the aftermath left by the departure of those 'Force Collision Walls'. They devoured the atmosphere and impressed a suffocating sensation on anyone present.
Although only about four out of eight 'Force Collision Walls' struck her enemies, the mental prowess of the other five would return to Zi.
In no time, a few of those mutated german shepherds were knocked flying.
One smashed its head against a nearby stalactite; brain juice splashed out and emitted a rotting stench. Simultaneously, the limbs of a few other dogs were abnormally distorted as they coughed out steaming fresh blood.
At present, one could tell Zi's offensive capabilities surmounted that of even Sheyan and Mogensha combined. More crucially, her 'Force Walls' could be employed defensively or offensively.
Nevertheless, everyone knew that an ability that scaled in both aspects could never attain the pinnacle might of a single aspect. Still, Sheyan couldn't help but anticipate the day she would demonstrate her 'Force Wall Explosion'.
Although Zi managed to repel away the mutated german shepherds, her 'Force Collision Walls' failed to impede the spitting ability of that german shepherd.
Pssshh! An obnoxious dark-green bile splattered onto Reef's dark-gold shield, before foul smelling white fumes spiralled up from it.
Apart from that, Reef's facial muscles twitches uncontrollably. The corrosive bile not only splashed onto his shield, a few droplets also fell onto his shoes and rapidly corroded in; eventually transmitting a bone-piercing agony to him!
His nightmare imprint instantly transmitted a heart-shattering notification.
[ Potassium Dichromate Biohazard Bile has damaged your shield – 'Grasp of Pharaoh Welkhahor' ]
[ Your shield is corroded and has lost 80 points of durability ]
Reef's vision immediately darkened. He'd rather himself be at the mercy of the 'Biohazard Bile' than spending an exorbitant fee to mend a dark-gold grade shield. Moreover, a dip in durability may even cause permanent damage to the internal structure of the shield, which may even require achievement points…..
Roaring angrily, Reef stomped forward and viciously stabbed his black lightsaber into the mouth of that struggling mutated dog.
A piercing charred stench pervaded into the air, before Reef strenuously flung the dog away. This heavily wounded dog crashed to the ground, and after convulsing a little, it ceased from moving.
Following that, the remaining mutated dogs reorganized themselves into a canine squadron and attacked in unison.
In spite of that, Zi had already pushed them deeper into the narrow passageway, and within this narrow channel, she occupied overwhelming superiority.
Waves after waves of 'Force Collision Walls' barreled in. They nearly covered the entire narrow passageway, leaving no way of escape for those dogs.
Still, those berserking mutated dogs continued charging ferociously, but couldn't escape the outcome of being sent flying by Zi's 'Force Collision Wall'. In addition to Reef's 'Shattering Cardiac Roar' and Brother Black's long-range shots, the gang rapidly slaughtered the pack of incredibly obstinate mutated dogs.
Viewing this in perspective now, this narrow passageway was probably purposely constructed to deal with dinosaurs and not human invasion. The architect probably considered certain dinosaurs that could overcome the barrier of those steel doors.
After all to Hammond, humans weren't a threat. Instead, those savage dinosaurs with unrivalled strength were his greatest nemesis on this island.
"Ah Zi, your ability is really improving rapidly." Sheyan praised. "The last time, your 'Force Alternate-Shuddering Walls' only unleashed walls to four sides, but its eight sides now."
Zi chortled and replied.
"In this realm, improving slowly equals being phased out."
After a brief rest, the contestant quartet plundered through the corpses.
In addition to those few thousands of utility points gained from slaying the dog tamers, each mutated dog produced a 'Blemished Dinocrystal' that should only appear in dinosaurs!
Zi also discovered a mission object on one of the dog tamer.
[ Damaged Experiment Journal ]
[ Mission object: This object will trigger a mission ]
「 ....Torn page.... 」
「 It has been three days since the doctor commenced the experiment. Only 72 hours since these adorable babies were born, and they could easily dispatch ordinary german shepherds. 」
「 Our dreams are swiftly approaching. I will surely return to Alaska and run for governor there. 」
「 ...…..Torn page.... 」
「 There's a problem with the existential period of the previous experiment subject. This time, the doctor will add the gene extract of a Triceratop 」
「 Outstanding results! According to the data, a single genetically-modified german shepherd can take down a marine. 」
「 It is time for our other international factories to get ready, 」
「 Once all experiments conclude, 」
「 All dinosaurs living in this world shall cease to exist! 」
「 Our legion of genetically-modified beasts will reign supreme in this world! 」
「 The Doctor will be the head of this world. 」
「 ....Torn page .....」
「 The reliance of the world on dinocrystals has already reached a terrifying stage. Once all dinosaurs are eliminated, the world will suddenly hit a state of energy insufficiency. That will be the optimum time to strike 」
「 Oh, perhaps I should give up on a freezing land like Alaska? Mexico's prime minister? Or Japan? 」

After browsing through the journal, the contestants glanced at each other.
Brother Black then coughed to break the silence.
"Seems like our dear Hammond isn't resigned in just being a scientist, his aspiration isn't small at all."
Sheyan furrowed his brows.
"I suspect those pesky dogs are just the preliminary guardians.....I didn't feel any world vanquishing power coming from them. They probably can't even defeat a siege tank."
The gang of four then continued advancing, but they soon met a dead end.
Nevertheless, they quickly noticed a glaring sign – underground elevator. The elevator seemed to indicate over four basements.
Obviously, the quartet wasn't interested in searching floor by floor. Instead, they directly headed for basement four – the Research Nexus.
