Chapter 10: Hunting Sea Turtle, Continuous Training

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

This mutated giant sea turtle could be considered powerful to other low-level mutated creatures.

However, It would be hard to say if it was against him.

Since it was targeted by him, the fate of this mutated sea turtle had already come to an end.

In an instant, Gray lifted his leg and slowly walked towards the mutated sea turtle that was sunbathing not far away. His footsteps were very light, as he was afraid that he would attract the attention of this sea turtle and alert it, giving him a chance to escape.

“Ta, ta, ta…”

His short but strong limbs stepped on the muddy beach. With every step he took, a small amount of sand would splash out.

Faintly, an invisible pressure of a creature rose.

“Roar…”

Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was not right, the mutated sea turtle that was lazily sunbathing let out low roars, trying to alleviate the oppressive atmosphere by roaring.

Following that, the mutated sea turtle raised its huge head. Its eyes that were like obsidian were filled with a thick sense of vigilance.

The unchanged surroundings made the mutated sea turtle even more fearful and uneasy. An indescribable sense of terror was slowly rising.

Out of its instinctive protective mechanism, the mutated sea turtle curled its four limbs into the turtle shell to obtain a sense of security.

But because half of the shell was broken by the nuclear explosion, it was hard to protect its whole body.

So much so that half of its fat right leg was exposed.

Facing the mutated sea turtle that was like a live target, Gray didn’t plan to kill it directly.

Because, although the turtle was slow, its defense was one of the best in the animal world.

They were like live targets.

Moreover, a part of its shell was missing.

So…

Simply put, this mutated turtle, which couldn’t run or fight, was just a prey for him to slaughter.

In this way, Gray could take advantage of the turtle’s immobility to help him fight, adapting to his body.

Only by constantly fighting could he continuously evolve and become stronger.

With such a free live target, Gray didn’t mind fighting with this mutated turtle for a while longer.

Slowly moving forward, he opened the corners of his mouth, revealing his sharp teeth that flashed with a cold light. Gray stared at the mutated turtle like a tiger eyeing its prey.

On the other side, the mutated sea turtle finally found the source of the terrifying atmosphere. After seeing its appearance clearly, it was so scared that it curled up into a ball and hid in a corner, its body constantly trembling.

After all, it was a Level 4 mutated giant lizard, and its aura was somewhat different.

The deadly pressure from the superior level made this Level 3 mutated sea turtle feel a little breathless.

However, this was only the beginning.

This was because Gray had already regarded it as ‘not a bad sparring partner’. Moreover, he got it for free.

“This sharp claw attack, the speed of my attacks isn’t sharp enough. There’s still room for improvement.”

“My fighting method and style are still a little immature. I can still refine this area a little more…”

…

While muttering softly, Gray continuously reflected on his various shortcomings in the battle.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, with a roar, Gray’s robust limbs rapidly exerted strength, and like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, he pounced towards the mutated sea turtle.

Although the sea turtle was slow, its reaction speed was not slow at all. Looking at the menacing Gray, the mutated sea turtle quickly squeezed into its own shell.

In the time of one breath, it had completely shrunk into a ball.

As for the missing piece of its shell, Gray selectively ignored it.

His purpose this time was not to eat or hunt.

It was to train himself well.

After all, for a sparring partner like this slow-moving turtle with extremely fast attack speed and excellent defense, Gray was very unlikely to be able to find another one.

Gray was no longer distracted. Instead, he was focused on finding the turtle’s weakness.

At this moment…

“Whoosh!”

A sound piercing the sky rang out. Gray could only catch a flash of an afterimage.

“So fast!”

Such a fast speed shocked Gray. He didn’t even have the time to react.

While he was thinking, his lower limbs had already fallen into the giant turtle’s bloody mouth.

It was fast indeed, so fast that it was suffocating.

However, it was such a pity that the turtle’s evolutionary route didn’t seem to have an all-out attack. It didn’t even break through Gray’s scales.

“Chi chi…”

The sharp teeth of the turtle collided with Gray’s thick scales, creating a series of flames which caused the turtle to grimace in pain.

“Although this turtle’s speed is very fast, it can’t even break through my basic defense!”

The corners of Gray’s mouth curved into a smile, and he was filled with joy.

He was truly a good sparring partner.

Of course, this mutated sea turtle was not to be underestimated just because it couldn’t even break through Gray’s defense.

One had to know that Gray was a Level 4 mutated creature, a whole level higher than this mutated sea turtle. Moreover, Gray had taken the initiative to strengthen its scales many times.

If it were any other ordinary Level 4 mutated creature, this mutated sea turtle’s sudden bite would definitely cause blood and flesh to splash everywhere.

Moreover, a creature like a turtle was definitely not to be underestimated.

In terms of race, it was more powerful than most of the mutated creatures he had encountered before.

Using defense as an attack, it could directly attack the enemy.

Using stillness to stop the enemy, one could advance and retreat.

There was also the mutated turtle shell, which had unparalleled defense among its peers. This was indeed not easy to handle.

At the very least, if Gray was still a Level 3 mutated creature, other than spraying venom, he really did not have any other means that could effectively injure the sea turtle.

As for now, he would treat this mutated sea turtle as a sparring partner and have a good time.

This could be considered as a rare time for entertainment and relaxation after eating his fill.

With this in mind, Gray became even more active in his training.

…

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

During this period of time, Gray carefully controlled his strength and fought back and forth with this mutated sea turtle.

Sometimes, he would even drag back half of the prey he had eaten to replenish the mutated sea turtle’s strength.

This action also made the sea turtle feel quite moved. After all, he was unable to move, so he usually stayed where he was and waited for the opportunity to kill some small prey.

Bringing back half a wild boar at a time like Gray was something that it didn’t even dare to think about. It wasn’t something ordinary.

It was just that the previous conflicts had made the turtle hesitate whether or not to eat it.

The turtle raised its eyes and stared at Gray. Its swarthy eyes kept rolling around. It stared at Gray, who was not far away, as if it was on guard.
