Reborn as a tiger cub, I'm too weak, so I can only rely on self-discipline.

Chapter 404 The Fourth-Tier Sea Beasts Besieging the City

Although he didn't know how the survivor base had survived, Cangnian didn't really care about that.

In any case, the fact that this survivor base stands here, drawing all the surrounding sea monster tides to this place, is the best news for me.

How much blood essence can such a massive sea beast tide yield, and how many members of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom can advance to the fourth rank?

Moreover, there are several beings here that appear to be at the fourth rank.

If we obtain the corpses of these sea beasts, it should be able to promote the evolution of a fourth-order evolved creature like myself.

Among the sea beast tides we dealt with on Jiuzhou Island, there were some that appeared to be fourth-tier beings. However, for some reason, their blood essence was somewhat lacking, which prevented them from promoting the evolution of fourth-tier evolved creatures.

Cang Nian estimates that this is because the evolved organisms underwent genetic mutations after being contaminated by nuclear radiation, which is why they are much larger than other third-order evolved organisms.

In fact, some of those contaminated and evolved organisms grew extra limbs, some grew body structures of other organisms, and some grew bizarre organs...

These are all considered distortions.

Exceeding racial limits in terms of physical size, reaching an extremely large scale, is also a form of mutation.

However, the few sea beasts here that appear to be fourth-tier are not so simple.

Cang Nian could sense the powerful fluctuations emanating from them!

In addition, after careful observation, Cangnian discovered that there were hardly any traces of deformity left on them!

In other words, these individuals, suspected to be at level four, are very close to fully recovering.

Cangnian speculated that this was because after they landed on Muzhou Island, they ate normal evolved organisms there, which removed a lot of the pollution from their bodies.

However, because the number of marine mammals was so large, they flattened wherever they went, leaving behind barren lands where no living creatures could survive.

In this situation, even those individuals that are suspected to be at the fourth tier cannot obtain enough normal evolutionary meat to completely transform themselves back to normal.

However, since there is not much pollution left in the body, the effect of the pollution blocking spiritual power and restricting supernatural abilities has almost disappeared.

That is why I was able to sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy within them.

Such fluctuations, even if they only briefly pass by at a height of 100 meters, are as conspicuous to Cang Nian as tiny points of light in an endless night.

As for why only large creatures suspected to be at the fourth rank exhibited spiritual energy fluctuations, it's not hard to understand.

The sea creatures came ashore to obtain enough normal evolved meat to restore themselves to normal by consuming it.

If an evolved creature were to return to normal and still be caught in the tide of sea monsters, its fate would be predictable.

The surrounding sea creatures would swarm in unison, tearing it apart and devouring it.

Only after reaching the fourth tier and returning to a normal state can one possess the power to crush all third-tier and second-tier corrupted evolved creatures.

After reaching the fourth tier, the body size increases significantly, and the strength, speed, and defense are all much greater than those of the third tier.

Furthermore, once they have initially recovered to normal, they can use spiritual power and supernatural abilities, making them far superior to those third-tier corrupted evolved creatures who cannot use spiritual power or supernatural abilities.

Only with such strength can one protect oneself during a sea monster horde.

The strength of fourth-tier sea beasts may be roughly the same.

Moreover, the residual pollution in their bodies has not been completely removed, so hunting each other is meaningless.

As for why they didn't leave the sea monster tide, Cang Nian can guess the answer pretty accurately if he puts himself in their shoes.

They wanted to use the sea monster tide to break through the human survivor base, obtain enough normal evolved meat, and completely cleanse their bodies of pollution.

This can be deduced simply by observing their movements.

These nearly fully recovered fourth-tier sea beasts were all located far behind the dense sea beast tide.

Unlike those sea beasts that were completely corrupted, these fourth-tier sea beasts have regained their senses, their reason has returned to their brains, and their intelligence has taken over.

Therefore, they were well aware of how terrifying the firepower of the thermal weapons at this human survivor base was.

Even fourth-order evolved creatures rarely have the ability to withstand large-scale bombardment by thermal weapons.

By the fourth tier, most evolved creatures are no longer so afraid of conventional firearms, but they don't just tough it out; instead, they use their unique abilities to avoid the damage from firearms.

For example, the little sable can use a portal to block in front of it, diverting all the bullets in front of it to other places, or even returning them to the opponent.

Additionally, one can use the ethereal skill to hide in a demiplane parallel to the main space.

But these are not things that can be directly resisted. If the little sable were to withstand firearms, Bao Si would be in trouble.

Having experienced the unbearable agony of being contaminated, these fourth-order sea beasts cherish their lives more than other evolved creatures.

Although they can now use supernatural abilities and avoid damage from firearms to some extent.

But this is the result under ideal conditions.

If humans have any backup plans, or if other fourth-tier sea beasts want to have one less opponent to share the spoils, it could lead to their demise.

Therefore, out of caution, these fourth-order sea beasts unanimously adopted the same strategy.

Using their strength and intimidation, they forced the sea monsters to attack the city.

Although pollution can cause evolved beings and evolved organisms to lose themselves and their reason.

But some instincts are still ingrained in their bones.

Even the most corrupted evolved creatures, killed by heavy firearms, will feel fear and want to flee.

However, under pressure from the fourth-tier sea beasts, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Meanwhile, the fourth-tier sea beasts were enjoying the fruits of their labor in the rear.

Having regained their senses, they knew very well that humans, as a weapon, required the consumption of ammunition.

Like the venom of a sea serpent or the electric shock of an electric eel, it will eventually run out.

Once humanity runs out of ammunition, the survivor base will be left with no threat, and the only thing that will be able to threaten it is to breach the survivor base.

At that time, they will be able to eat a huge amount of evolved meat, remove the last bit of pollution remaining in their bodies, and be completely reborn!

In response, Cangnian could only express his apologies to them in advance.

The firepower of this human survivor base could not reach the location of the fourth-tier sea monsters.

But he can do it!
