God-Like Extraction

Chapter 59: Going All Out

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Jingxing did not expect himself to kill the Mutated Beast in the water.

I only hope that when the Mutated Beast in the water is dead, I can go close to the corpse.

As for whether it is killed by the Martial Suppression Office or the Public Security Team, it doesn’t matter.

Therefore, I have to keep an eye on the news from the Sky Water River for the next few days.

Of course, if I have the time, it would be best if I go to the river personally.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind as Su Jingxing made his decision.

…

The night was cold.

The gentle moonlight poured down from the sky and onto the surface of Sky Water River that was rippling from the caress of the breeze.

1 AM in the morning.

Next to the southern river bank of the Sky Water River, Su Jingxing held his saber and walked quietly among the dark trees.

The dark environment was no different from daytime to him.

Night vision!

Su Jingxing finally succeeded in activating the secret ability after breaking through with a large amount of internal force.

Now, it had come in handy.

Accompanied with Advanced Hearing, he listened to his surroundings while staring at the Sky Water River.

Whoosh!

The river water rippled and splashed.

Su Jingxing had been walking along the river bank for more than half an hour. The Sky Water River flowed peacefully as usual.

That Mutated Beast in the water didn’t seem to exist at all. Was it just a rumor that snowballed?

Plop!

A large fish suddenly jumped out of the water and dropped back into the river, causing a huge ripple.

Su Jingxing, who was deep in thought, suddenly gained a flash of inspiration when he saw this scene.

Yes, it is too passive of me to wait for the Mutated Beast to show itself.

Why can’t I take the initiative to make it reveal itself?

It is rumored that this Mutated Beast is a cannibal and was most likely bloodthirsty.

It is better to lure it with blood than to wait on without any clues.

After all, the section of the Sky Water River that surrounds the city alone is more than ten kilometers long.

Who knows where the Mutated Beast would appear?

With this in mind, Su Jingxing stopped walking and observed his surroundings for a moment. After confirming that there was no one around, he walked out from the darkness and walked slowly along the river bank, keeping his eyes on the river surface at all times.

All of a sudden——

Swish!

Su Jingxing’s figure suddenly flashed and disappeared on the spot, rushing towards the water surface.

Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, a huge fish that was coming up for breath leaped out of the water and flew into midair before landing back into the water.

However, the moment it fell into the river, the saber in Su Jingxing’s hand tore through the air and pierced through the body.

Hu~

He was as light as a swallow and as graceful as a shadow.

A fish on his saber, his feet tapped lightly on the water surface. Su Jingxing swept across the river surface and turned around in mid-air before gently drifting back to the river bank.

The Eight Steps Rising Dragon, at the Peak of Perfection, allowed Su Jingxing to fly across the water like a bird even without true energy.

His agile body and extremely fast speed aided him in catching a fish easily.

However, the blood drained from a half-meter-long fish was not enough to lure the Mutated Beast.

Even if there were more than twenty of them, the amount of blood they drained would be pitifully little.

It is too troublesome for some to force the Mutated Beast out using fish blood.

I have to find other types of blood.

For example, pig’s blood!

The problem is, where am I going to get a large basin of pig’s blood in the middle of the night?

While Su Jingxing was in thought, he removed the big fish from the tip of his saber and threw it back into the water.

There was no smell of blood, so he could not lure the Mutated Beast in the water out.

In that case, he would have to come back tomorrow night. He was not prepared for tonight.

Tomorrow night, I’ll bring enough pig…

“Hmm, there’s the smell of blood!”

Suddenly, Su Jingxing’s expression froze. He sniffed lightly and caught a strong scent of blood that floated towards him along with the night wind.

“Such a strong smell of blood, how many people died?”

Puzzled, Su Jingxing melted back into the dark area and swiftly headed in the direction of the scent of blood.

Swish! Swish!

After executing Eight Steps Rising Dragon, his body flashed rapidly in the darkness.

A few minutes later.

Su Jingxing came to the edge of a viewing platform. He looked down at the steps below the platform that were close to the river. There were more than ten people standing there. Two of them were each holding a large plastic bucket and pouring dark red liquid into the water.

Fresh blood?

That’s right, it is indeed fresh blood, but not human blood. It is pig’s blood!

Now that he got closer, Su Jingxing could tell that the blood that poured into the river was not human blood.

He also recognized the dozen or so people standing on the steps.

The Martial Suppression Office!

Su Jingxing had even exchanged blows with the person leading them before——Qi Zhaochen!

The Martial Suppression Office’s Western District Commissioner of Command, the seventh-grade Qi Zhaochen, had come to the Sky Water River in the middle of the night with a group of subordinates to pour pig’s blood into it. The purpose was self-evident.

He had the same idea as Su Jingxing——lure out the Mutated Beast in the water!

Compared to Su Jingxing, Qi Zhaochen and company were well-prepared. Apart from custom-made weapons, they also had fishing nets, javelins, bows, and so on.

Without a doubt, Qi Zhaochen had come because he was certain.

His actions proved that there was indeed a Mutated Beast in the Sky Water River!

“This saves me a lot of trouble.”

Su Jingxing hid in the dark and waited quietly as he watched Qi Zhaochen and company got busy.

Two large buckets of pig’s blood were poured into the river. The water in front of the steps was already dark red. Even under the moonlight, it was especially prominent.

After pouring the pig’s blood, Qi Zhaochen and company threw a live piglet into the river.

As the piglet howled, the group retreated from the river bank and spread out, hiding in various corners.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes…

Soon, ten minutes had passed. The little piglet had stopped howling and was about to swim back to the shore. The Mutated Beast in the water did not appear either.

“Failed?”

Su Jingxing was confused.

“Does the Mutated Beast not eat pigs to begin with, or did it see through our scheme?”

Since Mutated Beasts had developed sentience, it was not surprising that they could see through Qi Zhaochen’s plan.

…

“Chief, what should we do?”

At the same time, the Martial Suppression Office’s members who were lying in ambush beside Qi Zhaochen were discussing in low voices.

“That fellow wouldn’t know we were baiting him, would it?”

“Or does it not like pig’s blood?”

“Or perhaps, this beast only eats humans!”

“A Savage Beast?”

“…”

Several members of the Martial Suppression Office guessed the reason for the failure of the plan.

Qi Zhaochen’s eyes flickered as he remained silent. Suddenly, his expression turned solemn and he ordered in a low voice, “Stay here and keep an eye on the water!”

“Yes, Chief.”

The few people in the discussion subconsciously responded.

Qi Zhaochen stepped out of the corner and walked to the riverside. He drew his saber with his right hand and extended his left hand.

“Is this guy thinking of…”

Su Jingxing, who was watching Qi Zhaochen, could not help but feel his eyelids twitch when he saw this.

Sure enough, as soon as the thought appeared in Su Jingxing’s mind, Qi Zhaochen had sliced the palm of his left hand with the saber. Blood gushed out and dripped into the river.

“Chief!”

“B*stard!”

“D*mned beast!”

…

Seeing Qi Zhaochen’s actions, the Martial Suppression Office’s members who were lying in ambush were all furious, cursing the man-eating Mutated Beast inwardly.

Since the pig’s blood had no effect, Qi Zhaochen used his own blood as bait.

If the hunt failed later, they would not be too ashamed to face anyone in the future!

…

“How ruthless.”

Su Jingxing also admired Qi Zhaochen’s actions.

In order to lure out the Mutated Beast in the water, this Commissioner of Command was going all out.

And the effect was very obvious.

Less than half a minute after Qi Zhaochen dripped his blood into the river, a long shadow suddenly broke through the surface of the water in the calm Sky Water River and rushed toward him…
