“Four Kings of the Arctic?” a murmur broke out among the Mutant Beasts as a perplexed look took over their faces.
Among them, White Tiger raised his head and proactively inquired, “We’ve stayed in the Arctic Circle for so long, how come we haven’t heard of them?”
“Uh…” Momentarily startled, Snake Queen then recalled that Misty Mountains had a branch in the Arctic Circle. However, after giving it a thought, she could not help but shake her head and explained with a bitter smile, “Let alone the fact that our Misty Mountains’ Arctic Island is just a tiny corner in the Arctic Circle. Once the Four Kings of the Arctic sensed the aura of Divine Tree, they would never dare show themselves!”
At this point, a smile appeared on Snake Queen’s face as she added, “Although there are many forces among the Mutant Beasts, only one is universally recognized as the strongest force, and that is Misty Mountains. The ruler of Misty Mountains, Divine Tree, is acknowledged as the ‘Deadliest Entity on the Continent’ by Humans and Mutant Beasts alike. Humans fear his mighty name, and we Mutant Beasts respect his power.”
Upon hearing this, many Mutant Beasts revealed smiles on their faces. Clearly, everyone enjoyed hearing this.
However, just at this moment, as if remembering something, White Tiger turned his gaze to Fal, perched on a branch and proactively asked, “By the way, Fal I, are these forces related to what you’re going to tell us next?”
“Of course they are relevant.” Nodding, Fal I the Peregrine Falcon straightforwardly explained, “Not long ago, I discovered that a war broke out in the Green Hills where the Fox Clan resides, with countless Mutant Beasts engaged in a heated battle… Rivers of blood dyed the ground within a thousand kilometers red.”
As he spoke, Fal I hesitated a bit and continued, “So, I’m considering whether we should take action. I can’t make the decision alone; it depends on all of you.”
“Do you know why they started fighting?” Bull Demon, suddenly stepped forward and directly asked.
“No, I don’t.” Shaking his head, Fal I flatright refused.
“Alright.” After a moment of silence, Bull Demon sighed and looked around at the Mutant Beasts, proactively stated, “We Mutant Beasts fight mainly for territories and resources. If it’s about resources, then it’s alright. Some extraordinary treasure may have triggered the conflict. But if it’s about territories, then participating may not benefit us much. After all, the Green Hills are quite far from us.”
Listening to Bull Demon’s analysis, many Mutant Beasts nodded in agreement.
However, at this moment, an unexpected figure suddenly stepped forward. Looking up, it was none other than the Fifth Brother, Golden Ant.
At this moment, paying no attention to the strange gazes of the Mutant Beasts directed at him, Golden Ant started speaking, “Whether it’s a dispute over territory or treasures, I want to take a look.”
“Why?” Perplexed, White Tiger also voiced his confusion.
“To hone myself.” Tightening his fist, Golden Ant cast a deep glance at the towering tree not far away and confessed, “I don’t want to live forever under the protection of Divine Tree. I hope that by the time Divine Tree wakes up again, he will see a completely new me.”
Hearing this, not only White Tiger, but the other Mutant Beasts also fell into silence. Some Mutant Beasts even showed signs of restlessness on their faces.
Suddenly…
*Roooaaar…* A Dragon-like roar echoed through the entire North Canyon. Looking towards the source, the most ferocious Titan gradually lifted his body.
“I’m also tired of this dull life. I crave blood, yearn for battle, and long to tear apart the bodies of enemies into pieces…” As these words fell, a very tyrannical aura began to slowly spread. Even in the Cretaceous Era, he was called Titan. Tyranny and fierceness was engraved in his bones.
He was a Tier-2 Transcendent now, He could stay here and steadily grow, However, such a mundane life was truly a torment for him.
Now, stimulated by Golden Ant, the ferocity within him was once again awakened.
And just at this moment, another figure walked out.
“Elder Sister, Second Brother, I want to go too.” With a gentle laughter, a girl with long, blood-red hair elegantly walked out, fiddling with the Blood Vines in her hand.
“Sixth Sister, you…” Bull Demon furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled.
“My blood just craves the blood of others at all times… And I can only truly flourish in blood and death.” As she gave the simple reply a hint of blood flashed in the depths of Thorns’ eyes.
Blood Vine was already the most ferocious bloodthirsty plant. And after her fusion with the Blood Vine, Thorns also inherited its bloodthirsty nature…
*Haaa…* Bull Demon heaved a sigh, feeling a bit helpless. Given his personality, he was reluctant to let them go out. If something went wrong, even a thousand deaths would not be able to absolve himself from the blame.
However, looking at their fiery gazes, he felt his shoulder sink as if an inexplicable pressure was bearing down on them.
Just at this moment, before Bull Demon could say anything, a very gentle and charming voice suddenly echoed in the canyon, “Do you realize the consequences of going out?”
The corner of Nine Tails’ lips rose as a playful expression appeared on her face.
“Naturally, we know,” Golden Ant, who was the first to step forward, answered proactively.
“It’s great that you know.” Smiling, Nine Tails turned her gaze towards the distant sky, and stated, “Once you step out of Misty Mountains, you’ll be responsible for your own life and death, and you can only rely on yourselves.”
At these words, Golden Ant, Titan, and even Thorns nodded. “We are willing to bear…”
But before they could finish their words…
*Boom…* A terrifying pressure swept over the canyon like a landslide, catching the Mutant Beasts off guard, pressing them flat on the ground. At this moment, looking in the direction of the source of the pressure, the Mutant Beasts were amazed to find that their Elder Sister, Nine Tails, had slowly stood up.
A raging flame enveloped her, and the four enormous tails behind her stirred the sky.
“Bear? What are you going to bear?” With a touch of anger, Nine Tails’ voice gained an indescribable chill.
“Elder Sister…” Golden Ant, gritting his teeth, enduring the terrible pressure coming from all directions, tenaciously called out.
“Fine then.” Looking at the determined Golden Ant, Nine Tails also felt somewhat helpless.
[Fifth Brother is good at everything, but he’s just too stubborn. However, what he said is right, ‘Hope the master awakens and sees a completely new self?’] Thinking this, Nine Tails also restrained her aura and silently chose to turn around. However, while the Mutant Beasts were feeling puzzled by her actions, Nine Tails’ voice echoed in their minds, “You can go out, but don’t tarnish the reputation of Misty Mountains.”
Speaking this, she briefly paused, before her voice, carrying the warmth and authority of the Elder Sister, resonated in the minds of the Mutant Beasts, “Remember, you must… come back alive.”
