Chapter 62 - Mutated Creature, Leader Beast, Catwoman
One of the six people standing was Benjamin.
With his head lowered, Benjamin said,
“My Lord, after our investigation, the black shadow this time is likely to be caused by some kind of mutation. There had been three mutation incidents in Xili city in the past ten years, and one of them was a major one. The mutation remnants from those incidents should have been recovered, but it was impossible to determine the source of this mutation. But one thing was for sure, the mutated creature should be in the slums now, and it was getting stronger. It’s extremely dangerous. ”
Li Qinghe exhaled a mouthful of smoke and slowly said,”
“Can you confirm whose hands it is now?”
A short-haired woman said, “Sir, I’ve joined the Blackflag tribe in the slums and learned about the situation in the slums in recent years. I’ve initially selected those who may have mutated objects.”
“Eh? Tell me about it. ”
“The first is the governor of the slums, Jing Kang. He’s from the Jing family of Xili city, but he wasn’t favored by the Jing family. In the end, he was sent to this area to be in power and enjoy his retirement, with the intention of being exiled. However, Jing Kang’s channels were undoubtedly the largest in the entire slum area. If there’s a mutated object, he’ll have the highest chance of coming into contact with it. ”
“The second is Lucius the lone wolf. He’s a rather famous Wilderness Hunter and is based in the slums. With Lucius’ strength and status, he could have set up his base in another urban area, but he chose to do so here. There must be a reason behind this. In recent years, Lucius’ strength has increased rapidly, which may be related to this abnormal object.”
“The third one is the leader of the Feral Dog Gang, Xue Ren. He was born in the lower class of the slums. His father once forced his mother to be a prostitute and forced him to beg. In the end, he killed his father with his own hands when he was 12 years old. From then on, he joined the gang and began to work. This man was ruthless and would do anything to achieve his goals. The Feral Dog Gang he had founded is now the largest gang in the slums, and they would do anything illegal. He’s also a genetic warrior, but he’s not that powerful. I can only say that there’s a possibility. ”
“The fourth one is the law enforcer, Shui Hu. He’s very strong, but he’s in cahoots with other gangs, acting as a cover for the actions of many gangs. He’s even the boss behind the scenes of a large gang, the Green Bamboo Gang …”
“The fifth …”
Li Qinghe listened quietly. He took a puff of his cigarette and fell silent.
She slowly said,”
“Focus on these characters and hurry up. I want to finish it within a month. Can you do that?”
The few of them were stunned and looked at each other. Benjamin said,”
“Your, your Lordship … Isn’t one month a little too much? These are all old foxes. It’s not that easy to get them to reveal their flaws. ”
“What?”
Li Qinghe glanced at him, and Benjamin quickly lowered his head.
Li Qinghe smiled. “I just want to end this as soon as possible. I don’t want anyone to rush me.”
The few of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
“With your status, who would dare to rush you?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. ”
Li Qinghe waved her hand. “Get back to work. I’m going to the Land of Origin.”
“Yes!”
…
The Land of Origin, outside Sandstone City.
Lu Yuan thought about it and did not go to the Sandcliff Underground Palace in the end.
With Lu Yuan’s current reputation, he would easily attract attention if he went to the Sandcliff Underground Palace.
His strength had increased too much, so it was not suitable for him to stay in the outer ring.
If they were in the inner circle, it would be easy to be suspected.
There was no need for that.
On the other hand, although the hunters would not pay too much attention to the soldiers who had been to the remains, it was inevitable that they would encounter those who were one-track minded.
He didn’t like trouble.
It would be good if she could develop steadily.
He might as well go to a place where fewer people knew him.
Lu Yuan had seen the map of Sandstone city’s surroundings.
He had found his destination. It was a place called the ancient sea oasis.
Around the city was a desert.
However, there were also oases in the desert.
The ancient sea oasis was one of the biggest oases.
The fierce beasts in the oasis were not similar to those in other areas. Instead, they were more like the fierce beasts in the forest.
The ferals there were more powerful.
Even the lowest level was a normal beast with a 50% tempering.
It was even said that in the depths of the oasis, there were boss-level fierce beasts that were infinitely close to level one.
That would be very strong.
To Lu Yuan, the outer area of the ancient sea oasis was very suitable for him.
Furthermore, the ancient sea oasis was huge. As long as he did not display his strength in front of others, he would not be discovered.
Lu Yuan moved in the direction of the ancient sea oasis.
The ancient sea oasis was in the opposite direction of the Sandcliff Underground Palace.
Lu Yuan left from another city gate.
Beyond the city gate was a desert. The ancient sea oasis was hundreds of kilometers away from the city. With the genetic warriors ‘speed, it would take them several days to get there.
Lu Yuan was not in a hurry. There were fierce beasts in the desert too. He could hunt fierce beasts while moving.
…
In the market outside the Sandcliff Underground Palace.
Bersha Vimi looked at Jing Ba beside her, her face full of impatience.”
“It’s been so many days. Haven’t you seen that human appear again?!”
Jing Ba twitched the corners of its mouth and said with a helpless expression,
“That’s right, third miss. We haven’t seen that human again. We lost track of him after he returned to sandstone city with Liu Xi.”
Bersha frowned. “Did he go somewhere else?!” She asked.
“This … It can’t be, right?”
Jing Ba hesitated for a moment before saying,
“For Lu Yuan, the Sandcliff Underground Palace is the area he’s most familiar with. If he goes to other areas, he might face many dangers while he’s getting familiar with those areas. For an ordinary genetic warrior, he wouldn’t change areas so quickly.”
“Then why hasn’t he appeared after so long?” Bersha frowned.
“This … Maybe he gained a lot last time and wants to come out after he has digested all the gains?”
Bersha thought for a while and felt that the Pekingese’s words made sense.
“Hmph!” She nodded. Then let’s wait a little longer.
Jing Ba nodded and said,” Third miss, don’t worry. I’ll have people keep an eye on this place. If there’s any movement from Lu Yuan, I’ll let you know at once.”
“That’s good. I’ll go hunting too. ”
Bersha nodded and entered the underground palace.
…
Two days later, Lu Yuan had walked about 100 kilometers in the desert.
Along the way, he had killed hundreds of sand scorpions, sand ants, and sand wolves, and collected a lot of materials.
Fortunately, as his cultivation level increased, the space for his battle runes became larger and larger, so it was not as if he could not store it.
Otherwise, Lu Yuan’s heart would ache if he lost some materials.
In a desert area, Lu Yuan was resting in the shade under a stone pillar.
He took out a cup of water and took a few sips before exhaling slightly.
“It’s about a hundred kilometers away … I wonder when I’ll be able to get a mount. It’s too difficult to run like this.”
Lu Yuan sighed, took out another piece of chocolate, tore open the package, and began to chew.
Boom!
Right at this moment, a loud boom suddenly sounded from the desert in the distance.
Lu Yuan was shocked and turned his head. Not far away, Lu Yuan saw a wave of yellow sand rising.
A wave of sand surged and quickly approached Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan suddenly stood up and looked at the sand wave with vigilance.
“What’s that?”
Soon, he saw a huge beast in the sand.
It was an earth-yellow crocodile that was covered in thick armor and was more than two meters tall.
The crocodile was swimming in the sand, and its huge force stirred up sand waves.
The crocodile’s pupils were dark yellow, with a cold and brutal aura.
When Lu Yuan saw the crocodile, his pupils shrank and his scalp went numb.
“Sand crocodile? This big? Damn, could it be the leader? Why am I so unlucky?”
He didn’t even think and immediately ran away from the sand crocodile.
That was a leader-level beast!
After running for a few hundred meters, he laid on the sand and looked at the sand waves in the distance. His forehead was full of sweat.
The sand crocodile obviously did not notice Lu Yuan and continued to move forward without changing its direction.
When it passed by Lu Yuan’s position, its huge tail swayed and hit the one-meter-thick stone pillar that Lu Yuan had been sitting on while resting.
The stone pillar cracked and collapsed.
Lu Yuan could not help but swallow his saliva.
The destructive power …
Although this stone pillar was eroded by the wind and sand all year round and was not as hard, Lu Yuan could not break it even if he used all his strength.
He didn’t expect that the sand crocodile’s tail would break with a swing.
Was this a boss-level beast?
At this moment, Lu Yuan’s eyes widened as he looked behind the sand wave in shock.
A black shadow flashed past, chasing after the sand crocodiles in front of it.
The black figure was a cat-person girl with pitch-black cat ears, a pitch-black tail, and long, black hair.
The young girl seemed to have felt something and turned to look in Lu Yuan’s direction.
Her beautiful face was expressionless, and her dark eyes were completely unmoved.
Lu Yuan, however, felt as if he was being stared at by a peerless fierce beast. His entire body turned cold.
The cat-person girl only took a glance at Lu Yuan before looking away and continued to chase the huge sand crocodile.
Lu Yuan, however, seemed to have lost all his strength and fell to the ground, panting.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
The eye-level sand crocodile was being hunted down?
The Catwoman was so strong that he could feel the threat of death with just a glance.
