When the four Intermediate All-purpose Robots arrived, their metallic bodies were so cold that they emitted no energy, allowing them to go undetected by the white snake.
Chen Wei, however, being a living creature, was a different story. He was instantly sensed the moment he arrived.
Caught in the icy gaze of the snake, Chen Wei felt a chill envelop his entire body, as if he had plunged into an ice pit.
The cold eyes bore a hint of murderous intent.
It was akin to being targeted by an ancient, savage beast—there was no discernible difference.
"Gulp..."
Chen Wei swallowed hard, his feet involuntarily retreating a step.
Initially, he believed he could stand his ground against a level four mutated fierce beast with all his might. But upon experiencing its overwhelming power, fear gripped him.
He was truly petrified, with no trace of fighting spirit left within him.
In that moment, Chen Wei came to a stark realization of the vast gulf between himself and a level four mutated fierce beast. This was a genuine monster, far beyond the likes of level one, two, or three beasts.
Chen Wei had no illusions—if the white snake lashed out with its tail, he would be obliterated on the spot.
Not even his Heavenly God Physique could save him.
What's more, he hadn't fully evolved into the Heavenly God Physique yet.
Thankfully, the white snake merely gave Chen Wei a cursory glance before ignoring him, greedily continuing to consume the moonlight's essence.
Internally, Chen Wei queried the system, "System, why is this level four mutated fierce beast so formidable? And how can it absorb the energy of the blood moon?"
The system responded, "A level four mutated fierce beast has undergone a fundamental transformation in its life essence. Its sheer presence can overpower other, lesser beasts."
"The intelligence of a mutated fierce beast at level four is comparable to that of a seven or eight-year-old human. At this stage, the beast can absorb any form of energy from the heavens and the earth."
"However, advancing beyond level four presents a challenge that is exponentially more difficult."
"The White Snake King before us is at the pinnacle of level four mutated fierce beasts. It's merely a hair's breadth away from evolving into a level five. Yet, crossing that threshold is far from simple."
Chen Wei paused, a hint of doubt in his voice. "Peak of level four? Can an Intermediate All-purpose Robot handle that?"
In that moment, Chen Wei's confidence wavered.
The system reassured him, "Host, there's no need for concern. An Intermediate All-purpose Robot can single-handedly take on up to six level six mutated fierce beasts. The creature we're facing is merely a peak level four mutated fierce beast—hardly a challenge."
Comforted by these words, Chen Wei felt a weight lift from his chest and began to retreat slowly.
The White Snake could be left to the four robots.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Once Chen Wei had put a hundred meters between himself and the scene, the four Intermediate All-purpose Robots sprang into action.
In an instant, the robots, now in the form of muscular men, soared into the air, ascending simultaneously to the height of the White Snake's head.
The White Snake, sensing the disturbance, swiveled its massive eyes—each as wide as a bucket—and fixed its gaze on the four imposing figures.
"Roar!"
With a ferocious roar, the White Snake unleashed a gale from its gaping maw, targeting one of the robots.
Buzz!
Its hefty tail swept through the air, aiming for a second robot.
Bang!
Quick as the White Snake was, the robots were quicker. They rotated their robust mechanical arms and brought them crashing down on the snake's head.
"Wu!"
The White Snake's head plummeted from a hundred meters up, hitting the ground with a thunderous crash. A pained whimper escaped from its mouth as it landed.
Upon closer inspection, one could see four distinct wounds on the White Snake's head, each as large as a faceplate, penetrating deep into its skull and breaching the snake's scaly armor.
Rumble!
The White Snake tried to rise, but the three relentless robots gave it no quarter, pummeling its body and head with a barrage of punches.
Chen Wei was unsure of the full extent of the Intermediate All-purpose Robot's strength. But judging by the violent shaking of the ground, he knew their power was immense—far surpassing his own considerable might, which was at least ten thousand kilograms per punch.
The power of this Intermediate All-purpose Robot was immense, easily exceeding tens of thousands of kilograms with a single punch—truly a force to be reckoned with.
"Awoo..."
In agony, the white snake writhed its massive body, lashing back in a frenzy. Yet against the four formidable robots, it stood no chance at all.
It was only now that Chen Wei truly grasped the fearsome nature of these Intermediate All-purpose Robots. Their strength was colossal, capable of moving mountains and filling seas.
But it wasn't just brute force; their speed surpassed even his Lightning Step.
The forest echoed with thunderous rumbles as the white snake's hefty form thrashed about, toppling towering trees like matchsticks under its crushing weight.
Rip! Rip! Rip!
Chen Wei watched intently as the four Intermediate All-purpose Robots prepared to deliver their final, devastating strike. Their speed had escalated to an unimaginable level.
As he watched, Chen Wei's head spun; the robots' movements were a blur, too fast for his eyes to track. All he could discern were the lethal streaks of energy weaving through the white snake's bulky frame.
Finally, the snake lay still. Its head shot skyward, and after a piercing roar, it crashed to the ground with a thud.
Boom!
The earth shook, kicking up a storm of dust.
[Congratulations, Host, for slaying a level four mutated fierce beast, the White Tiger. You have earned 10 million exchange points.]
[Congratulations, Host, for harvesting the body of a level four mutated fierce beast, the White Tiger, and earning 10 million exchange points.]
[Congratulations, Host, for retrieving a level four crystal nucleus, earning 10 million exchange points.]
[Current exchange point balance: 125.4 million.]
"Hmm? What's this? A White Tiger? Wasn't it a White Snake?"
Chen Wei, momentarily baffled, swiftly accessed his map panel. There, he noticed the large red dot had vanished from one corner of the region's map, and three small green dots were rapidly converging on his location.
"The robots to the west have slain the level four mutated fierce beast White Tiger!" A flicker of delight crossed Chen Wei's eyes—those western robots were incredibly efficient.
Without a moment to revel in his joy, Chen Wei hastily redeemed his energy shield.
Chen Wei commanded, "System, redeem the energy shield for the nuclear bomb at once, and deploy it over the farm."
