The Highest Bounty

Biggie was traumatized from fighting humans, but in his eyes, man-eating ogre apes were merely ingredients, the best ingredients for steamed monkey brains.

However, Biggie could no longer tolerate the man-eating ogre apes’ provocations. He wielded all his primary power, causing his clothes to shake violently. Invisible blades also used the primary power as a medium to spread all over the place.

Suddenly, Biggie moved. Gu Ding and Liliath did not even have time to catch up with him. He had already appeared in front of a Rank-9 Gene Body Witch Tribe powerhouse. Biggie then turned his hands into sabers and inserted them into his chest.

The Witch Tribe powerhouse did not expect Biggie’s attack to be so swift and violent. It did not even have time to react when Biggie’s right hand, just like a sharp blade had already torn his chest apart. A brutal force exploded in his body and his heart was instantly shredded into pieces.

As the first Witch Tribe powerhouse collapsed in a pool of his own blood, the other two finally felt the power of Biggie’s strength. An unprecedented level of fear could be seen in their very eyes. They did not expect Biggie to be this strong.

Just as Biggie killed the first Witch Tribe powerhouse, Gu Ding noticed blood dripping from Liliath’s nose. “Are you alright?” He asked.

Liliath wiped off her nosebleed and shook her head. Her breathing was clearly weaker than before. “I’m fine, it’s just that this hypnotic spell has some side effects.”

“Lili’s ability can cause her to suffer repulse from whoever she hypnotizes. The stronger they are, the stronger the repulse. Any increase in the fluctuations of their mental state can also strengthen the repulse.” Neptune explained in Gu Ding’s ear. “If you want her to suffer as little as possible, you’ll need to help Biggie in defeating the enemies faster and let Lili remove the hypnosis.”

Gu Ding furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing Neptune’s explanation.

Biggie locked his eyes on the second Rank-9 Gene Body after he took out the first Witch Tribe powerhouse. He planned on defeating the weaker ones first.

With a swift dodge, Biggie disappeared once again. When he appeared, he was right behind the second Witch Tribe powerhouse. “Go to hell, you yellow-furred monkeys!”

This time, the two Witch Tribe powerhouses learned their lesson. It was around the same time Biggie attacked that the Rank-10 Gene Body also retaliated. He instantly appeared beside Biggie’s waist, with sharp nails flying toward his waist.

The Rank-9 Gene Body powerhouse who was being attacked turned his body, two of his fingers were headed straight for Biggie’s eyes. This was a life-or-death move.

Biggie tilted his head slightly to the side, avoiding the powerhouse’s attack on his eyes. He turned his left hand into a saber, and with a strong force, he deflected the powerhouse’s attack on his waist. Biggie jumped up in the air with his right left pulled out fiercely. A semi-circular force emerged from his body and was headed straight for the Rank-9 Gene Body’s head.

The Rank-9 Gene Body powerhouse was unable to dodge his strike. He had no choice but to shield himself behind both of his arms. Intense primary power wrapped around his arms like thick chains.

The invisible semi-circular force instantly tore his primary power defense apart, viciously picking away at his arms. Two clicks from his bones breaking were heard, and the Rank-9 Gene Body powerhouse’s body flew backward like a bullet. In the forest, a loud bang rang throughout the forest. The powerhouse crashed through twelve large trees before falling to the ground.

“This bastard should have lost his will to fight by now, right?” Gu Ding asked Neptune.

“Both arms suffered severe fracturing. His back also suffered three fractures due to the impact. His internal organs have experienced mild rupturing, causing bleeding to occur. It also lost consciousness due to the immense shock experienced by his body. Besides, it has suffered many injuries. Considering the current bleeding rate, it won’t survive more than an hour.” Neptune was able to assess physical condition with just a brief scan from a kilometer away.

“That means we have one enemy left.” Gu Ding looked at Liliath somewhat worriedly. Lilith turned away and wiped her nose with her hand.

Gu Ding clenched his fist and said, “Biggie, hurry up!”

Biggie seemed to understand that the last man-eating ogre ape was not an easy foe. He did not attack immediately. Instead, he stared at the man-eating ogre ape intensely, waiting for an opening.

The Rank-10 Gene Body looked in the direction where his partner had fallen in the jungle earlier, and instantly retreated.

Biggie instantly followed suit and saw it pick up his partner with one hand before dashing into the dense jungle.

“Thank goodness. He’s still alive, that means…” Evil dark energy emerged from the Rank-10 Gene Body’s palm and quickly enclosed his partner’s body. His partner’s body began to dry up at an alarming speed whereas the Rank-10 Gene Body Witch Tribe powerhouse’s breathing started to improve rapidly. “You will all die here!”

Neptune projected the image, causing Gu Ding and Liliath to frown upon seeing it.

“That bastard wouldn’t even let go of his partner.”

Biggie wanted to stop him, but the dark energy seemed to have a life of its own. It entangled him like a mist and was surprisingly able to drain Biggie’s energy. Biggle immediately withdrew and watched from afar, waiting for him to slip up.

About five to six minutes passed, the partner in the hands of the Witch Tribe powerhouse had been reduced to a dry corpse. He abandoned the partner in his hands. With a malevolent smile on his face, he explained, “This trick is called a sacrifice. The offering must be a living creature. The stronger it is, the more power I gain. Thank you for leaving a survivor behind, or I wouldn’t have had the chance to perform this trick.”

“Monkeys will always be monkeys. Even though you can speak the human language, it still won’t change your fate.” Biggie’s face showed no signs of fear. He was a little excited. He did not expect to encounter such a powerful man-eating ogre ape. “I’ve heard that the stronger the man-eating ogre ape, the tastier his brains.”

Once Biggie finished his speech, he struck once again, slashing sharp blade-like force toward the ogre ape.

“Humph, how audacious of you!” Although he could not understand what Biggie said, he somehow understood that Biggie had compared him to a monkey. The Witch Tribe powerhouse grew extremely angry. His power had increased, so he had no intention of fleeing. He attacked aggressively. His deadly sickle-like black claws collided with Biggie’s karate chops.

Both parties showed no signs of giving in and carried on attacking each other aggressively. The forest was a mess. Everywhere they went, the trees in that area were completely obliterated. It looked like a typhoon had touched down, the ground was littered with branches and leaves.

As Gu Ding witnessed Liliath’s body start to tremble, he got increasingly anxious. However, he could no longer see their fight with the naked eye. If he joined the fight, instead of helping Biggie, he would end up being nothing but a burden. “Lili can’t take it any longer. Neptune, we must find a way to help Biggie end this fight soon!”

“One of the single-use items Robert left behind could be useful. You can try something out!” Neptune was silent for a moment before throwing out a vague answer.
