This area was slightly different from the areas Lu Yuan had encountered before. There were many king and emperor level beasts, and there were also some genetic warriors hunting the beasts.
Lu Yuan could sense the existence of many genetic warriors. If a spatial rift really appeared, the genetic warriors in this area would probably suffer heavy casualties.
But now that he was here, there shouldn’t be any problems.
Lu Yuan’s prediction was a picture of the future, but he was not particularly sure how far into the future. He could only guarantee that it would be within the next few months.
As he could not confirm the exact time, Lu Yuan could only stay here.
The cultivation speed outside the gravity room was too slow, so Lu Yuan was too lazy to cultivate. He left a Shadow God Envoy in this area while his main body went to other areas to hunt mutated ferocious beasts.
On the one hand, it was to obtain the unknown aura of the mutated ferocious beast, and on the other hand, it was to obtain merit points.
Time passed. A month later.
Under the lead of two Battle Emperor level Night Charm geniuses, the geniuses of Night Charm, including Anna, Xia Zhi, and Nina, arrived outside the forest.
The Battle Emperor in the lead was the one who had invited Lu Yuan to meet Battle Saint Gladys, Verritte.
She looked at the vast forest in the distance and smiled.
“Your Highness, the Forest of Everlast is in front of us. This forest is the border between the City of Heaven Mending and the City of Life Creation of the automaton race. It is extremely vast and it is said that there are divine beasts in the depths. The place we’re going to is outside of the Everlast Forest. The beasts in that area are basically king-level and emperor-level. There are very few emperor-level beasts, and there are many mutated beasts and nests. If we’re lucky, we might encounter a rare beast. After killing it, we can obtain a relatively rare transcendent gene.”
The others listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
“I can’t wait anymore,” Nina said with a smile.
Violet and another Night Charm Battle God named Cher looked at each other. Then, Violet said seriously,
“Your Highness, although the beasts in the outer regions of the forest aren’t too strong, we might still encounter danger. Unless we encounter a Battle Emperor beast, Xue Li and I will not take action. I hope you can remain vigilant.”
“I know. Let’s go to an area with more mutated beasts. Is that okay?”
After knowing that Lu Yuan had broken through to the Battle God realm, the sense of urgency in her heart became even stronger. She now hoped to obtain a large number of merit points and buy a large number of cultivation resources to break through to the Battle Emperor realm.
She was not too far away from becoming a Battle Emperor, and she only needed a few more merit points.
Violet nodded slightly and said,
“The areas with more mutated beasts are usually in the north. Let’s go this way.”
The group soon entered the Everlast Forest.
The trees that were hundreds or even thousands of meters tall were densely distributed in the forest. The crowns of the trees covered the sky. There was no sun in the sky to begin with, so it was very dark. The forest was even darker.
Fortunately, after reaching the level of a Battle King, his night vision was already extremely powerful. Unless he encountered a special environment that could interfere with his perception, even in the dark of the night, it was no different from daytime for a Battle King.
The group of them hunted the Ferals and Mutant Ferals they encountered while moving in the direction pointed out by Verritt.
As geniuses of Night Charm, even though they were only Battle Kings, they all had at least one emperor gene engraved on them. As for Anna, she had three emperor genes engraved on her, which made her extremely powerful.
Moreover, their cooperation was very tacit. Even if they were facing an emperor-level mutated beast, they could still calmly deal with it and finally kill it.
The group of people moved very quickly. Before long, they arrived at a dry forest area.
The soil in this area had decayed, and all the giant trees had died. There were no leaves, only some dried branches hanging from the similarly dried trunks.
In the forest, there were some skinny, gray-skinned, hairless dog-type ferocious beasts wandering around. These ferocious beasts had green eyes that seemed to have flames burning in them. From time to time, an eye would grow out of their bodies, or a pair of tentacles, or even ferocious bone spurs.
Outside the rotten forest, Violet’s eyes flashed and she said,
“This should be the Rotten Demon Hound’s nest. All of them are mutated ferocious beasts. Your Highness, we won’t do anything.”
When they saw the Rotten Demon Hounds in the distance, their expressions became serious.
She nodded and said,
“Prepare to attack.”
Xia Zhi and the others nodded.
At this moment, a terrifying explosion suddenly sounded from the sky not far away.
The Rotten Demon Hounds that were wandering in the decaying forest were also alarmed. They raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound, roaring.
Both Violet and Shirley’s pupils constricted. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. They quickly shielded the others behind them.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Fortunately, the trees in the Rotten Forest had already dried up. Without the dense canopy to cover them, they could clearly see the abnormality in the sky.
At the location where the sound came from, the sky seemed to have cracked open, and two terrifying spatial rifts appeared.
A terrifying and evil aura began to spread along with the appearance of the spatial rift.
There were balls of green flames burning in the two spatial cracks on the left and right. Then, the flames poured down like a waterfall.
The evil green light illuminated the entire forest area.
Seeing the strange green flames, Violet, Shirley, and the others widened their eyes in shock.
“This … Isn’t this the source of mutation that appeared in the Dark Night Forest?”
Xue Li couldn’t help but exclaim.
Violet frowned and whispered,
“Xue Li, Your Highness, the situation doesn’t seem right!”
She discovered that the moment the spatial rift appeared, the Mutated Rotten Demon Hound, which originally only had the strength of a King and Emperor, was now continuously absorbing the strange and evil aura. The aura on its body was constantly increasing, and the speed of increase was extremely fast. It even broke through the limit.
Some King-tier mutated Rotten Demon Hounds had reached Emperor-tier, and even Emperor-tier Rotten Demon Hounds had appeared.
“Let’s go!”
Violet and Cher looked at each other, feeling the immense pressure.
...
The others also understood that the situation was critical, but they nodded and retreated without saying anything.
At this moment, an Overlord-tier Rotten Demon Hound suddenly roared and turned to look at where Violet and the others were.
The other Rotten Demon Hounds also turned their heads to look at him. Their eyes that were burning with green flames looked especially strange.
All the Rotten Demon Hounds roared and charged at them. Their auras were fierce as if they wanted to devour them.
Both Violet and Shirley’s expressions changed. Violet quickly said,
“Xue Li! Take the princess and leave first! I’ll block it.”
Shirley nodded and didn’t say anything else. She planned to leave with the others.
At this moment, a terrifying roar came from behind them. Mutated ferocious beasts of various sizes rushed out and surrounded them.
Xia Zhi’s pupils constricted in disbelief.
“These were originally ordinary beasts!”
Now, these fierce beasts had actually become mutated fierce beasts.
...
They were already surrounded.
With a cold face, she said decisively,
“Violet, Cher, break out of the encirclement. We can take care of ourselves!”
She knew that the longer she stayed here, the more mutated beasts would rush over. At that time, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to. They could only take advantage of this opportunity to leave.
