Technological advancement begins with devouring.

"Pigs, wolves, felines, cattle, sheep... these monsters are indeed the most numerous."

Jiang Chen's gaze swept over the herd of beasts, observing them carefully.

So far, Jarvis's performance has been perfect.

Whether it was the overwhelming firepower of the rockets or the precise pinpoint kills by the mech squad, there were no mistakes, and the monster was perfectly intercepted three thousand meters away from the base.

Three thousand meters—this distance is like a 'line between life and death,' a distance that no monster can cross.

However, Jiang Chen knew that this was only the beginning.

A beast tide of 500,000 to 600,000 is only a small beast tide for a large base city, and can be easily dealt with.

However, for Jiang Chen's small base, it was not so easy to defeat them.

Unless a 'decapitation tactic' is employed, a surprise attack is launched to kill all the high-ranking monsters of lord level or above in the horde. Without the command of high-ranking monsters, these monsters from different species will naturally fall into fighting their own battles and will scatter after suffering a certain amount of losses.

However, doing so would not reduce the number of beasts by much. In the future, if Jiang Chen wanted to develop, he would still have to worry about new beast tides breaking out in the eastern jungle. It would be better to confront them head-on and reduce the number of beasts to a safe enough level.

Furthermore, in the future, a mech legion could be dispatched into the jungle to completely wipe out the beast horde.

Only in this way can the long-term stability of the base be guaranteed.

As for high-level monsters...

Jiang Chen glanced into the distance, pointed to a tall monster, and asked, "Jarvis, can satellite surveillance capture a clear image of that wolf?"

“Let me see…” Jarvis’s voice rang out, and a floating image quickly popped up on the communication bracelet, showing an image of a bizarre-looking giant wolf-like monster with three heads: “Judging from the image, this should be a lord-level ‘Hissing Beast.’ Judging from its size, it has reached the level of a high-ranking lord. As for having three heads, it should be due to mutation.”

"A mutated Sky-Screaming Beast?" Jiang Chen nodded slightly, acknowledging Jarvis's guess.

In the old days, such 'freaks' with two or three heads were extremely rare, perhaps only appearing once every hundred years.

But after the Great Nirvana, perhaps due to the mysterious effects of cosmic energy, the probability of mutation among the monster species skyrocketed.

Although it is quite rare, among so many monsters on Earth, you can always find a few that have mutated completely.

Luo Feng had previously hunted a 'two-headed black-striped snake,' which was a case in point.

The 'Three-Headed Sky-Screaming Beast' before us is even more mutated than the Black-Lined Serpent, and it is a high-level lord-class monster. Its value is probably no less than that of a weaker king-class monster.

However, money alone was not enough to arouse Jiang Chen's interest.

After the base was built, several production lines were put into full operation, and the profits generated in a single day were no less than the corpse of a king-level monster.

What truly interested Jiang Chen was the research value of this 'three-headed shrieking beast'.

The genes of this mutated monster are very different from those of normal monsters, making it very worthy of research.

Although Jiang Chen has no plans to develop biological or biochemical weapons at the moment, he is already intentionally researching these technologies.

Some special gene samples also greatly aided Jiang Chen's understanding of this knowledge.

"It's just too big; it won't fit in my spatial ring. Bringing this corpse back from the battlefield intact will be a bit of a hassle..."

Jiang Chen muttered something, but didn't make a move immediately. He instructed Jarvis, "Jarvis, bring that 'Three-Headed Sky-Screaming Beast' closer. I want its corpse."

"Yes, Master. Attack allocation has been adjusted." Jarvis quickly made adjustments, creating a path for the 'Three-Headed Skybeast'.

As a high-ranking lord-level monster, the 'Three-Headed Sky-Screaming Beast' also sensed that something was wrong.

On the battlefield, there was bombardment from rockets and shooting from bullets everywhere, but there was nothing happening around him, which was obviously a problem.

However, this was an offensive launched by a large number of beasts in the rainforest, with several monsters of the same or even stronger level urging it on. The 'Three-Headed Sky-Screaming Beast' was unwilling to lose face in front of its own kind.

After hesitating for a moment, the 'Three-Headed Sky-Screaming Beast' still drove its beast horde toward the base.

As they closed the distance to several thousand meters, Jarvis piloted his mech, continuously firing at the lower-level monsters surrounding the 'Three-Headed Sky Beast' to reduce the number of beasts in the horde.

By the time the 'three thousand meters' mark was crossed, the tens of thousands of beast soldiers and beast generals surrounding the 'Three-Headed Sky-Screaming Beast' had already been mostly wiped out.

"Leave the rest to me." Jiang Chen instructed Jarvis, then leaped off his shield and charged at high speed toward the 'Three-Headed Sky Beast'.

Although there are no special telekinetic weapons, simply flying on the shield allows one to use telekinesis to increase flight speed, which is much faster than simply relying on the miniature planets inside the body to counteract gravity.

The distance of nearly three kilometers was traversed in just a few seconds.

Swish~!

Three throwing knives flew out at the same time, and before the 'Three-Headed Sky-Screaming Beast' could react, all three of its heads were pierced through simultaneously.

As the throwing knife pierced through the skull, it spun several times under Jiang Chen's control, directly shredding the brains of the 'Three-Headed Sky-Screaming Beast'.

Even in death, the 'Three-Headed Sky Beast' was unaware of Jiang Chen's attack; the lingering image in its eyes was still the savage expression it had when charging towards the base.

"Lord-level, too weak..." Jiang Chen sighed inwardly, used his telekinesis to lift the corpse of the 'Three-Headed Sky-Screaming Beast', and turned to fly back to the base.

The corpse was too big; it couldn't fit in the spatial ring at all, so it had to be carried back like this.

Killing the 'Three-Headed Sky-Screaming Beast' was effortless for Jiang Chen.

However, what Jiang Chen didn't notice was that his hunting of the 'Three-Headed Sky-Screaming Beast' was observed by a group of high-level monsters behind the herd.

Dozens of lord-level monsters were scattered among the beast horde. More than half of them witnessed Jiang Chen easily killing the 'Three-Headed Sky-Screaming Beast' and instantly realized that this was a powerful being they could not defeat, so they immediately decided to retreat.

The hatred between monsters and humans runs deep, but monsters are also afraid. It is not uncommon for them to run away when they encounter a powerful opponent they cannot defeat.

When a lord-level monster discovers a human planetary-level powerhouse, it will usually choose to flee immediately if there is still time, and will never blindly throw its life away.

But before these lord-level monsters could take any concrete action, a voice suddenly rang in their minds simultaneously: "Continue the attack! Anyone who retreats dies! Their race has no reason to exist!"

This voice caused a change in the expression of a group of lord-level monsters.

The voice came from the undisputed king of the rainforest where they lived, and the one they absolutely dared not defy.

Upon hearing the order, a group of lord-level monsters let out low growls, urging their cannon fodder to speed up their attack.

Perhaps, if we let those cannon fodder exhaust the enemy's strength, we can win?

Many lords had this thought in their minds.
