Everyone Is Cultivating Supernatural Powers, Why Am I The Only One Cultivating Immortality?

After obtaining the mercenary status, Jiang Li came to the third level. According to prior knowledge, this is a center for purchasing standard basic equipment.

This includes combat suits, various cold weapons, and even some firearms.

The vast majority are relatively low-level equipment. To obtain higher-level equipment, Jiang Li's current mercenary level is not enough for the time being.

The combat suit can effectively reduce the damage caused by attacks from Transcendent level 5 or below ability users, or Level 1 alien beasts.

Various types of alloy cold weapons and firearms can similarly only deal with enemies of relatively low levels.

For ability users, Transcendent level 5 is a watershed.

Although experienced ordinary people equipped with advanced gear can contend with low-level ability users, once they encounter ability users above Transcendent level 5, it will be a one-sided massacre.

At that point, even ordinary firearms will have a hard time injuring them.

They are the true backbone of humanity's resistance against alien beasts!

However, these equipment are sufficient for Jiang Li at the moment.

The content of his short-term mission is to hunt Level 1 alien beasts, whose strength is equivalent to ability users from Transcendent level 1 to Transcendent level 4.

The equipment here can still have a good effect.

After looking around, Jiang Li finally bought a set of standard mercenary gear that leans towards being lightweight, and an alloy war knife over a meter long.

After reaching a higher level in Immortal Ascension, many techniques require the use of swords and knives, so Jiang Li wants to practice accordingly in advance.

As for firearms, Jiang Li did not consider using them. For him, who has not undergone professional training, such things are instead a burden and are difficult to be effective in actual combat.

The total cost for the set was over fifty thousand Earth coins.

Jiang Li's parents were taken away, but the bank card they left behind still had some assets.

Although not much, it is more than enough to buy some basic equipment.

After all the preparations were in place, Jiang Li finally left the building and set off for the area outside the safe zone.

For the convenience of the freelance mercenary organization, their office is located at the city's border.

After getting into a taxi, it didn't take long before a metal wall about 20 meters high and seemingly endless in length gradually appeared in sight.

Under the giant wall, there are metal doors that can be opened and closed about every hundred meters, with well-equipped soldiers standing on both sides of the doors.

Jiang Li got off the car near one of the doors.

"Zone 072 for alien beasts, that's right."

Jiang Li looked up at the zone number marked on the iron door. Zone 072 is officially designated as a low-risk area, with a small number of aliens and only Level 1 alien beasts, making it the first choice for many low-level ability users to hunt alien beasts for money.

Jiang Li decided to spend the next few days hunting alien beasts here.

After explaining his intentions to the guards, the iron door slowly opened.

As he stepped over the iron door, the scene outside the safe zone slowly unfolded in Jiang Li's eyes for the first time.

It was a completely different world from the safe zone.

Desolate, barren, without tall buildings, without the prosperity of the human world, without smooth and wide roads, and without the hustle and bustle of people coming and going.

All that was there was an endless wilderness and the vast yellow sand.

The sporadic ruins on the ground showed that this had been a place of human activity many years ago.

Jiang Li continued along the path. Soon, the surrounding walls gradually disappeared from his field of vision.

After confirming that there was no one around, Jiang Li took out the combat suit and long knife he had purchased from his ring.

He had already faintly felt that the atmosphere around here had undergone a significant change.

As he advanced while keeping a close eye on the potential dangers around him, he suddenly heard a piercing squeal from his left.

Jiang Li looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a creature with spikes on its back, resembling a wild boar, running towards him at a terrifying speed.

The creature was about 3 to 4 meters long, extremely bulky, with hair like steel needles, and its four hooves pounding the ground, causing a violent rumbling and raising countless dust.

Jiang Li dared not confront it head-on and quickly dodged to the side. Fortunately, his physical fitness was far better than before, and in the blink of an eye, he leaped nearly ten meters.

A wild boar-like beast with a massive body brushed past Jiang Li as it ran wildly, causing a storm of wind that stung Jiang Li's face.

"What a strong physical quality."

Jiang Li sighed inwardly. It seemed that this beast was close to the top of Level 1 beasts. In terms of physical strength alone, it was not inferior to ordinary Transcendent 4th-tier ability users.

Jiang Li quickly adjusted his mindset. Only by facing such a powerful beast could he better hone his combat skills.

After all, compared to those same-aged geniuses, his combat experience was overwhelmingly insufficient. Now was the time to make up for that experience.

With this in mind, Jiang Li immediately stabilized his body as he landed, and fiercely swung the long knife in his right hand towards the back of the wild boar-like beast.

Roar!

The beast let out a piercing roar, accompanied by a large amount of bright red blood splattering on the ground.

Under the tremendous force exerted by Jiang Li, the long knife left a wound over half a meter long on the body of the wild boar-like beast!

However, this was not a fatal wound for its massive body.

Not only that, as if the blood had stirred its ferocity, the wild boar-like beast's eyes turned even redder and it suddenly accelerated, charging towards Jiang Li.

Due to the extremely close distance and rapid speed, Jiang Li couldn't dodge in time and had to protect his vital parts with both arms.

"Bang!"

The beast's huge body was like a small car running at high speed.

The tremendous kinetic energy impact on Jiang Li's body, even with protective gear, made him feel as if his internal organs were churning, almost making him vomit.

But fortunately, Jiang Li had astonishing physical strength. Although extremely uncomfortable, he still managed to withstand the impact.

The two bodies, one large and one small, were unexpectedly evenly matched in strength, and they were deadlocked.

The not-so-intelligent head of the wild boar-like beast was confused for a moment. It couldn't imagine that the ant-like body in front of it could compete in strength with its own powerful body.

Accompanied by a loud neigh, its massive body suddenly retreated a short distance, ready to charge again.

However, Jiang Li didn't give it the chance. His agile body followed closely, and he fiercely stabbed the handle of the knife into the beast's head!

Swish!

The alloy war knife pierced through the skull like a hot knife through butter, burying the entire blade inside the beast's head.

Before it could let out a scream, the wild boar-like beast's body suddenly stiffened.

In its crimson eyes, the pupils began to gradually dilate.

With a loud rumble.

The heavy body finally fell to the ground.

Hoo—hoo—hoo—

Jiang Li sat slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

The fight just now didn't last long, but it caused great physical and mental exhaustion.

"Such bad luck."

Jiang Li muttered to himself. According to the information, there shouldn't be any Level 2 beasts in this area, which meant that the wild boar at the top of Level 1 beasts was the king here.

And he had just encountered this king as soon as he arrived. Thinking of this, Jiang Li smiled bitterly as he got up.

Immediately after, Jiang Li pulled out the long knife that had made a significant contribution from the corpse.

Ignoring the spattering blood, he stored the wild boar's body in his storage ring.

"The strength is enough, but the agility and speed are still far behind."

After a short rest, Jiang Li began to reflect on his shortcomings.

Because he couldn't dodge that impact, he almost put himself in danger.

However, Jiang Li did not feel discouraged because of this.

Since he knew the shortcomings, he would make up for them!

The slaughter had just begun.
