At this moment, Yu Zi Yu looked at the distant four Black Rats and Leng Feng, pointed with his branch towards the vast forest extending north of the Himalayan Mountains, and stated, “That is going to be your battlefield. Nine Tails and the others have already gone there; it’s time for you to follow.”
With that, Yu Zi Yu gazed deeply at Leng Feng and reminded him, “If these four little guys want to become formidable warriors, they need to form a sizable group. Do you understand?”
“Mhmm.” Leng Feng slightly nodded, looking at the Rats on his shoulder, which were scampering around, squeaking.
“They won’t have problems breeding in that forest. If everything goes as planned, they’ll have grown into a colony of 100,000.”
“100,000…” Contemplating for a moment, Yu Zi Yu nodded in agreement.
[With the breeding speed of Rats, reaching tens of thousands within a few months is indeed achievable. And 100,000 is just the right number. It’s not too big for them to go out of control and become a scourge and it’s not too small for them to be ineffective. I guess 100,000 will be the limit. When it’s time to introduce them to battle, I can speed up their reproduction, and eventually form a colony of millions or tens of millions. They would become the Misty Mountains’ sharpest sword, cutting through everything.]
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Yu Zi Yu glanced at the four little Rats on Leng Feng’s shoulder and stated in a half-joking manner, “You four should work hard and become Rat Kings. If your descendants surpass you, it’ll be really embarrassing.”
Upon hearing this, the four little Rats squeaked in an aggressive manner, baring their fangs, as if saying, ‘That’s impossible.’
…
Meanwhile, in the outer regions of the Northern Territories, where a vast expanse of snowy plains stretched endlessly…
However, if one looked closely, he or she would discover many areas covered in solid ice.
These were the outer regions of the Northern Territories, they occasionally experienced frigid winds that could freeze almost everything.
Even Transcendents would shiver in these nearly tangible icy gusts, while ordinary Mutant Beasts would be turned into frozen sculptures.
Rumors had it that these frigid winds were the breath of some terrifying existence deep within the Northern Territories. Though these rumors were unreliable, they revealed the horrifying nature of these icy gusts.
At this moment, in the distance…
*Boom, boom, boom…”
Accompanied by the trembling of the earth, a black torrent appeared in the horizon.
Upon closer examination, it happened to be a herd of Musk Oxen covered in thick fur and with heights of up to three meters.
No, these were not ordinary Musk Oxen; they were Mutant Musk Oxen.
While Musk Oxen resembled cattle in their appearance, their horns were more akin to those of Sheep. Some said these creatures were a cross-over species between Sheep and Ox.
Nevertheless, this did not diminish their power.
They could be seen in numbers ranging from hundreds to thousands, and thanks to repeated evolution in the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, they had become one of the overlords in the snowy plains.
At this moment, hundreds and thousands of Mutant Beast Musk Oxen were chasing a Mutant Snow Leopard.
*Bang…*
Its hind legs kicked the ground, propelling it dozens of meters away; this Snow Leopard was incredibly fast, akin to a released arrow.
…
At this moment, at the top of a mountain, figures quietly emerged one after another.
“It’s quite terrifying that a Transcendent Snow Leopard is being chased by a group of Mutant Musk Oxen,” the Mammoth, Tundra, remarked with incredulity as it looked at the distant black torrent of Musk Oxen and the Snow Leopard fleeing in disarray.
“This herd of Mutant Musk Oxen should not be underestimated,” Bull Demon added with caution, narrowing his eyes.
However, after a brief moment of thought, a broad grin appeared on his face as he added, “But, no matter how formidable they are, they can’t compare to us. The Snow Leopard can not hold a candle to us.”
As it spoke, his hooves began to paw the ground, and, at the same time, a terrifying Spiritual Energy slowly surged from him.
*Boom…*
With a deafening roar, a round and a bit transparent purple halo emanated from Bull Demon.
In the moment when the blue halo enveloped them, the Mutant Beasts suddenly felt their bodies becoming lighter, as if they were freed from gravity.
“What’s this?” the Mammoth, Tundra asked with surprise.
“It’s a profound application of gravity, it can reduce gravity to some extent…”
Saying so, Bull Demon’s eyes suddenly glinted with a cold gleam.
“So, charge forward. It’s our first battle in the Northern Territories, there’s no room for any mistakes.”
Having given the order, the ground started trembling as Bull Demon was to charge forward first.
Just as Bull Demon initiated the charge…
*Growl, growl…* Inexplicable growls resounded as a silver lightning bolt sped ahead even faster, reaching the forefront in an instant.
Honey Badger, who could now use lightning to stimulate his entire body and significantly enhance his speed, raced to the front.
He no longer focused solely on defense, he could now enhance his speed. However, there was a time that he also wanted to use lightning to enhance his brain, further increasing his reaction speed.
His eccentric behavior left even Yu Zi Yu baffled.
Had Yu Zi Yu had known this, he would not have suggested such hints to this creature.
But fortunately, the Honey Badger showed some restraint and had not immediately begun enhancing his brain.
Currently, he was focusing on using lightning to stimulate his entire body.
“Let’s go, too,” suggested the grinning Golden Monkey holding a long staff, sitting on his companion, and hitting the Armored Wild Boar.
Moments later…
*Snort snort…*
Grunting, the Armored Wild Boar surged with Spiritual Energy as he initiated a charge.
|
Barbaric Charge – The more it runs, the faster its speed becomes, until its speed can not be controlled. At that point, the Armored Wild Boar is most terrifying |
This ability was perfect for charging.
It was also one of the skills that the Armored Wild Boar excelled in.
Now, if one were to look at the Armored Wild Boar, they would undoubtedly notice that he was entirely encased in Spiritual Energy. His entire body had transformed into a conical storm as he charged toward the distant herd of Mutant Musk Oxen.
“How terrifying!?” Watching these few taking the vanguard, even someone as strong as the Mammoth, Tundra could not help but narrow its eyes.
Just at that moment…
*Screech…* Akin to a Dragon’s roar, a roar resounded through the sky.
Looking up, Old Eighth, the Tyrannotitan took a step forward.
With a ‘thud,’ the earth caved in. And immediately afterward, the Tyrannotitan leaped dozens of meters high.
Coupled with its horrifying size, it looked several times more majestic than other Mutant Beasts at a glance.
“Uh…I guess I should not provoke this fellow.” The Mammoth, Tundra smiled but did not mind it. Instead, he lifted his elephantine leg and started a charge toward the herd of Mutant Musk Oxen in the distance.
