Chapter 501 - 355: Mutant Beast
Vehicles advanced along the abandoned highway, progressively delving deeper into the danger zone. Dense trees on both sides of the road had overtaken the area, undergoing transformation under the nourishing cosmic energy. Previously familiar species had now become unrecognizable, and the group felt as if they had entered a mysterious world.
The only remnant of modernity was the mottled highway itself, eroded by weeds.
However, after traveling approximately eighty to ninety kilometers, the road was severed, with peculiar trees breaking through the soil and growing on the road, completely obliterating it.
At the end of this road, there were still many cars, some intact, some scrapped, and some cars had been attacked by some creature and were torn apart.
Clearly, Li Yi and the others were not the only ones who had ventured deep into the danger zone.
Many Cultivators from Tianning City had also explored this place, but it was Zhao Fangji who was fortunate to find his own opportunity, breaking through his body’s limits and greatly improving his strength, earning the title of Zhao Wudi in this city.
"We’ll have to proceed on foot from now on, but it’s not too far, only about a dozen kilometers or so. However, this stretch is very dangerous. We’ve now ventured deep into the danger zone, where we may encounter any type of Extraordinary Creature. If it’s just at the Soul Realm level, the four of us can handle it together. But if we encounter an Extraordinary Creature at the Spirit Power Realm, then this trip will have been in vain," Zhao Fangji said as he got out of the vehicle and identified the direction to proceed.
"Don’t be so pessimistic, let’s just keep moving forward," Li Yi said: "Even if we can’t find the mutant fruits, it’s fine. Think of this as a chance to temper ourselves. I haven’t had much action since breaking through to the Soul Realm; using these Extraordinary Creatures for practice is a good thing. It not only reduces their numbers but also fulfills the hunting mission of the Golden Academy."
"Indeed, after becoming a being of the Soul Realm, I need to get reacquainted with my own strength," Jiang Mingtian nodded, touching the sword at his waist, also looking forward to refining his Swordsmanship through this opportunity.
