Chapter 121: Unexpected Death
Thump. Thump thump. Thump thump thump…
As Colin led Russell along the path toward the “High Court,” his heartbeat quickened, becoming harder to control. The increased heartbeat triggered corresponding physiological reactions: dry mouth, chest discomfort, labored breathing, and an unsettling sense of anxiety.
Simultaneously, a wave of irritability and restlessness arose within him. Colin couldn’t help but clench his fists.
They’re getting tighter; his fists are tightening! But now is not the time to activate “Hunting Time.” He was still over two hundred meters away from the statue of the divine mother, not yet close enough.
Keeping a constant eye on his surroundings, Colin knew that just a few more meters forward would awaken that terrifying life form.
Exhaling heavily, he quickly took out some explosives, the best and newest ones. These explosives were a recent production achievement from their base, finally mass-produced.
Their cost wasn’t much higher than that of black powder, but their performance was double, and they were more stable and efficient. Crucially, they had a faster explosion speed and higher blast heat, giving the target less time to react. This meant Colin’s actions had to be even more precise.
From now on, these explosives were being mass-produced, gradually replacing the original black powder. However, at this moment, Colin only had less than a ton of them—about eight large barrels.
Three hundred kilograms of the new explosives were taken out by Colin as a “greeting gift” for his first encounter with “Terbidad,” showing his sincere intentions. These barrels were about the same size as the high-purity black powder barrels but were made of different materials. They looked more like oversized “high-explosive grenades.”
