Chapter 747: Chapter 291: Clearing the Restricted Area, Constructing a Pontoon Bridge_2
Ding Yan and Zhao Kai stood together, looking at the huge Water Marsh Restricted Area, where occasionally a gigantic beast would leap from the water and crash back down, splashing massive waves.
Crocodiles and mutated toads lay on the shore, their enormous forms sending chills down one’s spine.
Zhao Kai tightened the Stone Armor on his body and couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "These mutated monsters, I can handle one-on-one fights with them, but how do we deal with so many?"
Ding Yan was also wearing a set of Stone Armor, replacing her original back brace.
The Stone Armor they wore was made from the skin of a Pangolin that Liang Yuan had killed long ago, not Rune Armor from Stone Armor Talisman Stones.
The Pangolin had been quite large, and its whole skin was enough to make two sets of armor.
Yang Mei, known for her handiwork, made a set for both Ding Yan and Song Wen.
Originally, she intended to make one for Liang Yuan, but he refused.
Given Liang Yuan’s current defense power, wearing the Stone Armor didn’t make much difference.
Rather than wasting it on himself, he preferred to give it to his women.
So Yang Mei made sets for Ding Yan and Song Wen instead.
On this mission, Ding Yan, as one of the patrol team leaders, naturally donned the Stone Armor.
Liu Feifei, upon seeing Ding Yan’s armor, liked it very much and learned that Song Wen had another set and wouldn’t be participating in the mission to clear the Water Marsh Restricted Area.
Liu Feifei shamelessly pestered and begged until she borrowed Song Wen’s armor.
Thus, the Stone Armor ended up on Zhao Kai.
Ding Yan sighed as well, saying, "In the end, we are still too weak."
Zhao Kai nodded powerlessly, "Compared to Brother Liang, we are definitely weaker."
"No need to compare us to Liang Yuan, even compared to these mutant beasts, we are quite weak," Ding Yan said with a frown.
Zhao Kai grew even more despondent.
Just as they were speaking, a rumbling sound came from behind them.
The ground shook, and rustling sounds emanated from the forest.
Everyone instinctively looked back.
At a glance, their faces changed drastically, some showing expressions of terror.
In the distance, from within the forest, a gigantic black ape, over ten meters tall, was striding forth.
Its feet, like colossal pillars, crashed down, shaking the earth.
Grass bent; trees were twisted and compressed.
Its massive body towered nearly as tall as many of the trees.
With its thick black fur and muscular build, it exuded a terrifying power and defense.
"Black Gold Giant Ape!"
"Oh no, it’s the Black Gold Giant Ape!"
"Why is the Black Gold Giant Ape here?"
"We are doomed, the Black Gold Giant Ape is coming."
People cried out in fear, with some instinctively retreating to find cover.
Facing a top-tier mutant beast like the Black Gold Giant Ape, they wouldn’t even think of fighting it head-on.
After all, this was a fearsome mutant monster even the leaders of the four shelters avoided!
Ding Yan and Zhao Kai’s expressions changed as well.
However, Ding Yan quickly thought of something, and hastily looked at the shoulder of the Black Gold Giant Ape.
Sure enough, she saw a person sitting on the giant ape’s shoulder.
Upon seeing that person, Ding Yan smiled and shouted, "Why panic? Look at who’s on its shoulder!"
Zhao Kai scanned the Black Gold Giant Ape and was shocked, "Brother Liang!"
Han Xiangman also looked up, noticed the person on the giant ape’s shoulder, and exclaimed, "Mr. Liang!"
Huang Han, Wu Ying, Gao Jie, Cheng Zhanpeng...
These key members of the patrol team all widened their eyes in shock.
"Mr. Liang!"
"It’s Mr. Liang!"
"The Black Gold Giant Ape is Mr. Liang’s mount?"
"Wow, Mr. Liang is incredibly powerful, even taming the Black Gold Giant Ape!"
Exclamations continued, with people showing shock, amazement, and realization.
Liang Yuan’s appearance caused a huge stir.
Everyone was shouting and whispering.
Suddenly, someone shouted passionately.
"Mr. Liang!"
"Mr. Liang!"
The voices grew into a tide, and many showed excitement and admiration.
With a leader powerful enough to tame such a terrifying beast, they felt proud and thrilled.
Standing on the Black Gold Giant Ape’s shoulder, Liang Yuan heard the cheers and smiled, holding out his hand to calm the crowd.
The Black Gold Giant Ape immediately stopped, and the patrol team members followed suit, looking at Liang Yuan with respect.
"Everyone, Yangshan is our home. We’ve gone through immense hardship to establish the Yangshan Shelter."
"From nothing to what we have now, I believe you all know the difficulties and struggles we’ve faced."
"Yet, on the land we live on, there’s still a restricted area occupied by mutant beasts!"
"It’s laughable! These mutated monsters have seized most of the land following the floods, and now they want to occupy our home."
"Today, we have one goal: drive these monsters away, even wipe them out, and push them back to the floods!"
"We must build a floating bridge on this lake, connecting us to Meishan!"
"Over there in Meishan, we have large cultivated fields, mutated crops, and your favorite rice, flour, soybeans, sorghum, along with various carbohydrates we need."
