At this moment, what was chilling was that some creatures seemed to have been brainwashed, and were surprisingly unwilling to awaken.
*Roar, Roar, Roar…*
Amidst continuous roars, innumerable Mutant Beasts gazed towards the depths of the Deadwood Wetlands with eyes filled with reverence. Vaguely, if one looked closely, he or she would definitely see a slightly shimmering lotus mark in the depths of their eyes.
Not just Mutant Beasts, but hundreds, and even possibly thousands of Humans were part of this group.
However, most of these Mutant Beasts and Humans were in Tier-0, with only a few in Tier-1. As for Tier-2 Transcendents, there were none.
While bewitching one’s mind was terrifying, for the Five-Colored Lotus, Tier-1 Transcendents were already the limit.
And it could only bewitch Tier-1 Transcendents because of some flaw in their psyche. For example, a Tier-1 Superhuman, because he was late, witnessed his wife being killed by the beast tide. As a result, his guilt had left a terrifying flaw in his psyche.
Or a Transcendent Mutant Beast not far away, a rabbit as white as snow, cute and beautiful.
However, it lacked courage and had a weak disposition. This time, it came here because it saw Humans were afraid of this place and hastily escaped into the Deadwood Wetlands, thus becoming bewitched by the lotus.
…
Meanwhile, at the center of the lake, a very sweet voice suddenly rang in the air, “Humans? China? Mutant Beasts?…”
One familiar yet unfamiliar term after another constantly echoed in the air, giving off a strange and eerie feeling.
The voice sounded astonished yet thoughtful. However, after a long time, as if it had finished sorting out the thoughts, a bit of playfulness tinged the voice, “The world is so complicated!
Some people are actually plotting against this young lady!?
No, this title doesn’t sound good. Let’s go with ‘this princess.’ Hmm… that doesn’t seem right either…”
Seemingly contemplating, it took quite a while before this voice finally settled on a proper title.
“Miss, yes, I am a young lady, and I should be addressed as such…” Like talking to herself, this voice could not help but break into laughter.
Her laughter was very sweet, like the fragrance of lotus in mist, subtle and unceasing. In a trance, one might see a sprite-like woman with bright and beautiful eyes, full of charm. However, after a moment, as if realizing something, this voice revealed a hint of helplessness.
“This Miss is in a bit of a dangerous situation, aren’t I?”
As she spoke, an indescribable force spread in all directions, illuminating half of the Deadwood Wetlands for a moment.
…
Meanwhile, far away in the arctic circle…
Yu Zi Yu had reached a critical moment.
*Boom, boom, boom…* As his tree body inhaled and exhaled, waves of Spiritual Energy surged from all directions.
For a moment, half of the arctic island was shrouded in the vortex of Spiritual Energy.
At this moment, if one looked towards the peak of an arctic island, he or she would witness a crystalline tree growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The trunk grew thicker and glistened with a crystalline sheen. The branches kept growing longer and longer ice crystals continuously condensed at the tips of the branches.
While the tree was growing at a rapid pace, with visible growth process, a thin layer of ice mist rose in the air.
*Screech…* Suddenly, a loud screech reverberated from the horizon.
Looking up, a palm-sized Peregrine Falcon zoomed towards the island like a meteor.
However, before the Peregrine Falcon landed, a charming voice rang in its ears, “What’s the hurry? Why so urgent?”
Hearing the Elder Sister’s inquiry, Fal II suddenly jolted before hastily passing Bull Demon’s message.
“A Spirit Flower not inferior to Master!?” mumbling in an ethereal voice, Nine Tails gaze could not help but flicker.
However, after a moment, Nine Tails glanced at Yu Zi Yu, who was immersed in cultivation, and helplessly stated, “Master has reached a critical moment in his cultivation, it’s not suitable to disturb him. Leave this matter to us.”
Having said so, Nine Tails lightly kicked the air with its feet, and rushed towards the bottom of the island, treading on flames.
…
Shortly afterward…
*Boom, boom, boom…”
Shaking the earth, three behemoths ran in the direction of Misty Mountains.
Halfway, a response echoed through the sky, “Elder Sister, rest assured, leave Misty Mountains to us.”
“Alright,” smiling, Nine Tails acknowledged with a slight nod.
At this moment, Nine Tails turned around, and in her sight stood powerful beings exuding terrifying auras, calmly standing side by side.
One of them was a statuesque brawny man, standing with his arms crossed. It was none other than Qing Gang.
Then there was a figure with a hat, wearing black boots, looking kind of silly––Brewmaster.
There was also White Tiger, Golden Ant, and Thorns.
Of course, the most eye-catching of them was a completely new figure among the Mutant Beasts of Misty Mountains. It was a giant white bear with several wine pots hanging from hiss waist. He was none other than the Lightning Giant Bear, the leader of the Mutant Polar Bear Tribe.
He had already stepped into Tier-2, and could also control lightning. His strength was not to be underestimated.
As for others, like three generals–Honey Badger, Armored Wild Boar, and Golden Monkey, and others, they were participating.
They were required to guard the Divine Tree.
Since Yu Zi Yu had reached a critical point in cultivation, a few had to stay behind to guard him.
*Haaaa…* Taking a deep breath, Nine Tails looked back and calmly stated, “As Qing Er said, the appearance of this Spirit Flower this time might alert more than half of China.
So, we’ll truly be jumping in fire this time?” In response, White Tiger just grinned, attaching no importance to it, and declared, “We can just kill the Humans with just a slap, can’t we?”
The moment he declared this, a terrifying chill suddenly washed over White Tiger.
*Gulp* Nervously gulping a mouthful of saliva, White Tiger looked around in amazement, only to discover cold gazes directed at him.
“You should not underestimate the Humans,” Qing Gang warned in a solemn voice, a serious expression blanketing his face.
He rarely looked so serious.
He believed that when it came to Humans, they had to be extremely cautious, as if treading on thin ice.
While Humans were indeed lacking in terms of individual combat strength, even weaker than Mutant Beasts of the same level, but among Humans, Qing Gang knew that there were individuals called ‘prodigies’ or even ‘monsters’ who break the norm and could match Mutant Beasts, and even fight beyond their Tier.
And this was no joke.
More importantly, they were up against some of the top powerhouses in China.
While it was unlikely that a terrifying existence like the Divine Tree would make an appearance, Qing Gang knew that they would definitely be locking horns with Tier-1 and Tier-2 Transcendents.
Among hundreds of millions of Humans, some had already stepped into Tier-2.
One could easily imagine the talents of these Tier-2 Transcendents.
Right at that very moment, another voice reverberated, “Humans indeed can’t be underestimated.”
Looking towards the voice, the Mutant Beasts suddenly saw a golden-furred monkey slowly emerging from behind a giant rock.
However, before the Mutant Beasts could wonder why Golden Monkey had come, he added with a serious expression, “Humans are not only the overlords of this era, even in the distant past, they were a powerful race that could stand at the pinnacle among myriad races. Their methods are far beyond your imagination. Although the world has changed now, they still have inheritances…”
At this point, Golden Monkey, ignoring the puzzled gazes of the other Mutant Beasts, slowly turned around, and walked towards the distance.
Except, shortly after his departure, a voice filled with vicissitudes and frustration echoed from afar, “One person, one mountain, known as ‘immortal.’ The Human race has immortals. In the end, they are one step ahead. Hahaha…”
Ashish: ‘One person, one mountain, known as immortal.’ – The phrase means each person is like a mountain, they have their own journey and can become an immortal, premise they are as steady as a mountain.
