After bidding farewell to Nico and the other two, Ning Shi rode the Hell Bike and once again arrived in the wilderness.
This time, before he set off, Ning Shi had already chosen a training ground. It was the forbidden area of the Purple Sea Forest that was marked in deep red on the ranking map.
When the Norse Republic government created the ranking maps, they were only divided into Levels 1-5. Above Level 5, they were all classified as forbidden areas. This meant that for the mercenary group, these areas were forbidden areas that they absolutely could not enter.
Once they entered, it was equivalent to courting death.
According to the research done by many scholars in the Norse Republic on radioactive creatures, the forbidden areas in the wild were generally divided into three levels: the outer area, the inner area, and the core area.
The outer area was the territory of Level 6 radioactive creatures, the inner area was the territory of Level 7 radioactive creatures, and the core area belonged to Level 8 radioactive creatures.
Ning Shi arrived at the forbidden area of the Purple Sea Forest. The core area belonged to Level 8 radioactive creatures, the Purple Sea Ink Flower.
It was a plant life form. After being eroded by the radiation elements, it evolved and mutated step by step, becoming one of the most powerful radioactive creatures on the origin planet.
The Purple Sea Ink Flower was very strange. Its main body was a black flower, and it had the ability to split like a ball. It could split into countless sub-bodies, and the flowers that these sub-bodies bloomed were purple.
When the sub-bodies gathered together, they were like a purple ocean, surrounding a black flower in the center. That was why it was called the Purple Sea Ink Flower.
Based on the numerous battles between humans and Level 8 radioactive creatures, the Level 8 radioactive creatures had begun to awaken their intelligence. They had a strong sense of command.
That was why the forbidden zone was divided into three distinct layers: the outer zone, the inner zone, and the core zone. This was because the entire forbidden zone was ruled by Level 8 radioactive creatures.
Ning Shi had chosen the forbidden area as a place to farm monsters and level up. Firstly, he would gain more experience points from killing higher-level radioactive creatures, and his leveling speed would be faster. Secondly, his physique would no longer increase after consuming low-level meat essences. His physique would only increase after consuming meat essences that were Level 6 and above.
The last reason was that Ning Shi still wanted to give himself some pressure and challenges. He wanted to train his physical body and combat skills in battle. It would be best if he could awaken his talent again after leveling up.
Standing at the edge of the forbidden zone of the Purple Sea Forest, Ning Shi used Ball’s scanning ability to look down at the entire forest from a height of 1500 meters.
He found that the forest was endless along the mountain range and the terrain.
According to the ranking map, the forbidden area of the Purple Sea Forest had a total area of 13 million square kilometers, which was even larger than the land area of the Yunmeng Kingdom on Saturn.
Ning Shi put the Hell Bike into the system backpack and took out his alloy battle hammer.
After the modification of Ball, the alloy battle hammer had reached the standard of B-level alloy. The length of the battle hammer had not changed much, but the hammerhead had become bigger.
Its weight had also reached 27 tons. With Ning Shi’s current physique, the damage and destructive power of this battle hammer were extremely shocking.
Ning Shi carried the battle hammer and used the strength of his arm to offset the weight of the battle hammer so that he could run in the dense forest as light as a swallow.
With the help of Ball, Ning Shi quickly found a group of Level 6 radioactive creatures, the fanged boar.
The Level 7 biochemical technique was automatically activated, and information about the fanged boar appeared in his mind.
[ Fanged boar, a Level 6 radioactive creature that evolved from a mutated boar. It is 6-10 meters long and 2-3 meters tall. Its skin is thick and its defense is extremely strong. It has a special talent, Gluttony. The fangs at the corner of its mouth can be shot out to carry out rapid and accurate long-distance attacks. ]
[ Gluttony: The fanged boar has a huge appetite. Eating quickly can speed up the growth and recovery of the body. The boar can also store the energy of the food in its stomach, greatly increasing its physical strength and recovery. ]
[ Weakness 1: Eyes. Compared to the other parts of his body, the defense of his eyes is relatively lower. ]
[ Weakness 2: Rage. The fanged boar has an irritable personality. Once it is enraged, it will attack its target without caring about anything else. ]
[ The body structure of the fanged boar is similar to that of a pig. 1.
Brain…When slaughtering, you have to first deal with its hard long fur. The method is as follows… ]
After the radiation mutation, each of these fanged boars was the size of a small mountain. They were truly fanged boars.
There was a total of seven fanged boars in front of him. They were a small group. They were omnivorous creatures and would eat anything. Wherever they passed, not a single blade of grass grew.
Ning Shi walked closer. The trees and other shelters had all been eaten by the fanged boars, so he could not hide anymore. He rushed out with his alloy battle hammer.
The fanged boar sensed Ning Shi’s attack and its eyes started to turn red.
Whoosh!
Fourteen fangs flew out together, and like flying swords, they flew toward Ning Shi!
Ning Shi waved his battle hammer and blocked the fangs one by one.
The battle hammer was hit by the fangs, and small holes appeared on the hammer’s head.
Fortunately, Ning Shi had asked Ball to upgrade the battle hammer before coming. If it was still an E-level alloy battle hammer, it would have been pierced by the sharp fangs.
Ning Shi took advantage of the gap between the fangs flying back to the fanged boar’s mouth and charged forward with all his strength, instantly breaking into the group of fanged boars.
These fanged boars were huge and were good at long-range attacks. Ning Shi had to fight them in close combat. On one hand, he had to limit the fangs’ attacks. On the other hand, he had to make them unable to run and use their body size to collide..
