Upon seeing the approaching trio, Jack Clark stopped in his tracks, somewhat surprised, “Class Leader, Mandy Leinster.”
Similarly, Crystal Leinster, who didn’t expect to bump into Jack Clark, exclaimed in surprise, “Jack Clark, didn’t you just enter the mountain range this morning? How are you back so soon?”
Jack Clark chuckled, “I had good luck today. 1 encountered a Level 4 Mutated Beast several hundred kilometers out and killed it easily. The only problem was dragging it back.”
“It took me nearly half a day to drag the beast’s corpse back, then 1 exchanged some Contribution Points for a few anti-gravity disks to make it easier next time.”
…Effortlessly killing a Level 4 Mutated Beast. Crystal raised her head to look at the sky, not wanting to talk to Jack Clark for a moment.
At this moment, Mandy Leinster gave a gentle smile, “Jack Clark, let me introduce you. This is our senior sister Betty Leinster from the third grade. Senior Sister, this is our classmate Jack Clark.”
“…Betty Leinster, the 35th ranked senior sister on the third-grade genius list,” Jack Clark was somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but look over at the smiling woman next to him.
This senior sister had battle boots about 1.8 meters high, a tall and striking figure, an exquisite face, and especially those beautiful long, narrow, and bright phoenix eyes that made one want to take a second look.
She wore an extraordinary battle armor made of black, tiny scales, with a cool design, mysterious patterns flowing on it, emitting a ring of black gold halo.
Most importantly, when Jack Clark noticed her, he keenly sensed a discreet and oppressive terrifying aura emanating from her.
This senior sister is very strong! Jack Clark’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Betty Leinster chuckled, “Finally meeting you in person. You’re amazing, Junior Brother Jack Clark. On your second day in the Alien Beast Battlefield, you already ranked in the top 1,000 on the Achievement List.”
Jack Clark courteously replied, “Not at all. My accomplishments are far from yours, Senior Sister.”
Betty Leinster was not only on the third-grade genius list, but also in the top 50 on the Achievement List. Although her cultivation level was only at the Late-Stage Fifth Layer Heaven, her combat power had certainly reached the Sixth Layer.
However, since Jack Clark was not familiar with her, he prepared to leave after exchanging greetings.
“Class Leader, Mandy Leinster, Senior Sister, 1 have other matters to attend to, so 1’11 leave first. Goodbye for now.”
“Goodbye, junior brother.”
Watching Jack Clark’s figure leave, Betty Leinster pondered, “It seems like this junior brother is going down the mountain. He just returned, and now he’s preparing to enter the mountain range again?”
Crystal Leinster nodded, “He should be going out.”
“Although he usually appears to be quite steady, he is actually determined and full of adventurous spirit. As soon as he arrives, he definitely wants to kill more Mutated Beasts and accumulate Contribution Points.”
“Little Sue, you seem to know this junior brother very well.” A smile flashed in Betty Leinster’s eyes.
“…Wha-, what do you mean? We’re classmates, so it’s normal to know what kind of personality he has, right?” Crystal Leinster calmly explained.
Betty Leinster nodded with a smile, “Yes, very normal.”
As for Mandy Leinster standing by, she didn’t say anything with a gentle smile on her face.
While traveling at a subsonic speed of 200 meters per second, Jack Clark quickly crossed the 500 kilometers and arrived at the vertical end of the Nine Rings Mountain Range before nightfall.
He stopped at the edge of the cliff.
Opposite the cliff lay the even more dangerous Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Stretching over 2,000 kilometers in depth and spanning thousands of kilometers horizontally, it was located in the middle and later sections of the Alien Beast Battlefield.
This cliff was like a dividing line, and on the other side of it, the mountain range was filled with numerous ancient trees standing over a hundred meters tall, hiding countless mutated creatures in the dense gullies and ravines.
In addition to being shrouded in clouds and mist, the space magnetic field also fluctuated, so even the Sky Eye Satellite couldn’t monitor it.
Therefore, ordinary third- and fourth-layer students generally wouldn’t cross this boundary.
Chirp!
A black-winged bird, with wings spanning over forty meters, soared through the clouds from high above and dove down in a flash, leaving a lingering afterimage as it landed in the distant forest.
The ancient trees swayed, and the roar of the Mutated Beast reverberated, then Jack observed the mutated bird soaring into the sky again.
Under its thick talons, it clutched a 10-meter-long creature resembling a mountain pig, covered in heavy armor and sporting several meter-long fanged teeth. The Mutated Beast had already been killed by a single strike through its skull.
Watching the scene, Jack’s eyes narrowed, because such winged mutated creatures were very troublesome. With the advantage of air superiority, they could come and go as they pleased unless their wings were broken the first time.
While Jack Clark stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing at the Cloud Mist Mountain Range across from him, a group of people emerged from the forest below the mountain cliff.
It was a team of five, three men and two women.
Two men were dragging the huge corpse of a Mutated Dragon Beast, 28 meters long, resembling an ancient tyrannosaurus with red scale armor.
Based on its size and the faint aura emitted from the corpse, the mutated dragon beast was either at Level 5 Peak or Level 6 Early Stage.
Similar to oceanic mutated creatures, the body lengths of many land-based mutated beasts varied widely even at the same level due to different species, like snakes.
Involuntarily, Jack Clark’s expression turned solemn, as the small team’s strength was formidable.
At this point, there were six anti-gravity disks placed underneath the mutated beast corpse, which emitted a flickering black halo, counteracting half of its body weight.
Together with their floating half a meter above the ground, the group moved quickly, soon charging up the slope of the nearby mountain ridge.
When they saw Jack Clark in his dark red armor standing at the edge of the cliff, none of the group members paid much attention and continued onward, dragging the enormous mutated dragon beast with its awe-inspiring aura.
But just a short distance away, the black-haired young man who was leading the group suddenly turned his head and loudly said, “Classmate, it seems you’re planning to set up camp nearby?”
