My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 491: Chapter 324: Extreme Speed of Mach 20, Giant Power of 350,000 Jin, Not Far From First Cosmic Velocity

On the Kenya Grassland, Li Xiang set his sights on a Tier Fourteen ”Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros.”

The rhinoceros was massive, with tough, thick hide, and weighed at least three tons. Upon seeing Li Xiang, it showed considerable courage. Instead of fleeing, it stomped its foot, shaking the ground. With a thunderous rumble, it charged straight at him like a tank.

Not even the mightiest Lion King of the grassland would dare to face such a colossal creature head-on, but Li Xiang was, of course, utterly fearless. He struck out with a single palm. It was a casual-looking blow, delivered without his full strength, yet it effortlessly slapped the rhinoceros into a deep pit, from which it could not climb out.

When dealing with these ordinary beasts, Li Xiang couldn’t be bothered to use an Extraordinary Spiritual Soldier. His fists and feet alone were enough to crush them easily, and it gave him a chance to practice his Martial Arts.

With 270,000 pounds of giant strength, even one-tenth of his power amounted to 27,000 pounds. How could this rhinoceros possibly withstand that?

The rhinoceros’s last regret was probably not running away. But even if it had fled at top speed, it would have had no chance of escape.

System: ”Congratulations, Host. You have killed a Tier Fourteen Mutated Creature, the Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros. Reward: 1400 Achievement Points, three portions of Tier Seven Mutated Spiritual Medicine ’Earth Vein Rhinoceros Horn Powder’, and one Tier Twelve Extraordinary Item ’Heavy Mountain Heart Protection Mirror’.”

Besides its Spiritual Power, the ”Earth Vein Rhinoceros Horn Powder” also had the effect of strengthening bones. However, for the current Li Xiang, its effect would be mediocre at best. His bones were already strong enough to withstand 270,000 pounds of giant strength, so what use did he have for a mere Tier Seven Spiritual Medicine?

’This would be pretty good for Yao Yao,’ Li Xiang mused. ’Sister Yao uses the Clone Technique. If she makes too many clones, she might get a calcium deficiency or osteoporosis. This Tier Seven Earth Vein Rhinoceros Horn Powder would be perfect to supplement that.’

As for the ”Heavy Mountain Heart Protection Mirror,” it was naturally a defensive treasure. It also had an Extraordinary Attribute, ”Rebound,” which could ”turn an opponent’s attack back on them,” reflecting 30% of the damage. That was quite impressive. In the future, when Li Xiang refines a Crystal Vein Spirit Armor, he could inlay this heart-protection mirror into it, creating a high-quality, High-level piece of Battle Armor.

...

Rain poured down in the Congo Basin. The sound of Li Xiang crushing dry branches startled dark figures in the treetops. Three Silverback Gorillas beat their moss-covered chests. The leader, its eyes as red as blood, swiped a paw and snapped a vine as thick as a water bucket.

These three Silverback Gorillas were used to being arrogant. Just like the rhinoceros from before, they actually paid Li Xiang no mind.

’A bit foolish,’ Li Xiang thought, looking down on such unperceptive creatures. Thus, faced with their ferocious pounce, he didn’t dodge at all. Instead, with a simple kick that struck first despite being launched second, he sent the gorilla leader flying backward in an instant.

Its head exploded like an unripe watermelon, splattering red and white matter everywhere.

System: ”Congratulations, Host. You have killed a Tier Fifteen Mutated Creature, the Frenzied Ape King. Reward: 1500 Achievement Points, three stalks of the Tier Seven Mutated Spiritual Medicine ’Giant Strength Grass’, and one pair of Tier Thirteen Extraordinary Items ’Ape King Gloves’.”

Consuming ”Giant Strength Grass” could strengthen one’s muscles, bones, and vital energy. The Tier Thirteen ”Ape King Gloves” came with two Extraordinary Attributes: ”Giant Power” and ”Vibration.” They could increase one’s strength by 5,000 pounds and added an ”oscillation wave” attack.

However, to the current Li Xiang, all these things were practically useless. These treasures he had dreamed of in his past life were now things he would cast aside like worn-out shoes. They were only suitable for rewarding his subordinates to win their loyalty.
