Chapter 460 - 460: Heavy Casualties! (4)
Xia Yuan also found himself in a similar situation.
Zhao Yu came over and removed the fangs from all four Ape Claw Beasts.
Apart from the one he held, the remaining 15 were distributed among the others.
After some effort, the group finally dismembered the four Ape Claw Beast corpses.
They obtained 32 sturdy bones in total. Ideally, there should have been 16, but the joints of the beasts seemed to have decayed post-mortem, easily dislocating.
They had no choice but to separate the upper arm bones from the lower arm bones.
Initially, each arm spanned about a meter, and with the Beast’s claws, the attack range was long.
Now, they only had the forty-odd centimeters of the lower arm bones.
Zhao Yu, being the strongest, chose a arm bone with sharp claws and a thick thigh bone as his weapons.
Li Hong Wei and Xia Yuan selected similar weapons too.
The other students, with limited strength, mostly took a single bone as their weapon and the previous shell.
However, eight arm bones, with attached claws, were taken up as they made for good weapons.
“With these bones and our spears, our close combat power will definitely double!”
Li Hong Wei was quite excited, even eager to battle the Ape Claw Beasts now
The other students felt the same, rubbing their hands in anticipation, wishing to start soon.
Zhao Yu also realized after the fight that there were still over thirty Ape Claw Beast corpses on the ground in front of the teaching building that could be utilized.
“Alright, let’s setoff!”
Zhao Yu walked up to a few nearby trees and made a few marks to prevent getting lost on the way back as usual.
The group set off once again, this time with much more confidence and warrior spirit to encounter a Ape Claw Beast immediately.
Eight teams set off in eight different directions, which relaxed the students in the teaching building as they didn’t have to risk their life now.
At least, until the eight teams returned, it was safe to move around the grassland.
The Principle arranged for some people to guard the surrounding, both as a precaution and to be the first to know when those who had left returned.
There were five or six people guarding in three directions, including Huo Li Juan and Liu Si Yu.
They had volunteered to join, especially since Li Hong Wei, the leader of the third team, was part of their circle.
While the two women were typically bickering, a sudden noise came from the distant woods.
They went up and saw it was humans, and feel relieved.
”They’re back, they’ve returned!”
Huo Li Juan and Liu Si Yi immediately went to greet them.
They kept scanning the crowd.
Soon, their expressions changed.
They didn’t see Li Hong Wei, Wang Zi Jun, and Cao Ji Ji – all their friends.
“Where’s Li Hong Wei?!”
Liu Si Yi asked anxiously.
The returning group only had about twenty people.
They had left with 54!
Could it be…
A foreboding feeling arose in their hearts.
Finally, the injured members of the third team revealed the truth.
“They continued forward. We came back first because our injuries were too severe…”
Those uninjured at the moment were supporting the injured, looking as if they had returned specifically to help them.
Some went to find a teacher, while others inquired about their experiences.
“We encountered four monsters. You have no idea how terrifying these Ape
Claw Beasts are in the forest…”
“They could swung around at us with a vine and attacked us from the top…”
Back into the school, the injured group finally could relaxed considerably and began to boast about their encounters with the beasts in the forest.
“Did anyone die?!” Huo Li Juan asked urgently.
The eyes of the injured team instantly dimmed as they sighed,”15 people died…”
” What?!”
Everyone was shocked. Four Beasts killed fifteen of them and injured so many others?!
Having experienced a classmate’s death before, everyone had gotten used to it.
After a brief moment of silence, they resumed their usual demeanor.
“What about Li Hong Wei, how many beasts did he kill?” Huo Li Juan asked excitedly.
“It seems Li Hong Wei didn’t kill any…”
“What?!”
The crowd was puzzled.
“Could it be that all four beasts were killed by Zhou Hai Sheng?!”
People didn’t consider other possibilities, as everyone’s focus was on them.
Li Hong Wei and Zhou Hai Sheng were undoubtedly stronger than the others in the team, deserving of everyone’s memory.
“It wasn’t Zhou Hai Sheng either. Even Zhou Hai Sheng died in the battle…” a student said with a sigh.
“What?!”
“Zhou Hai Sheng is dead?!”
He was an enhancer who had experience too!”
Everyone was greatly surprised and quickly inquired who had done it.
The injured group looked at each other. They had left in such a hurry that they had forgotten to ask Zhao Yu’s name.
“Uh, there were two people who killed the four beasts. One killed three, and the
other, I know, is called Xia Yuan, who killed one…”
“Who is the one who killed three?!”
Naturally, people were more interested in the strongest among them and eagerly inquired.
The injured group looked at each other, clearly, no one knew the name of the person.
They shook their heads, “No idea.. We forgot to request his name, we know he’s close to Li Hong Wei, they are in the same class!!”
