In the darkness of night, the mountain was exceptionally quiet. There weren't many mutated plants growing on the outer edge of the mountain, which was about several hundred meters away.

After passing through the outer perimeter, they quickly entered the mountain peak. Upon seeing the arrival of the mutated plants, the branches immediately attacked them.

The mutated plants here were very dense, and the attacking branches came from all directions. Chen Minghang immediately erected a metal shield around himself and his men. The branches hit the metal shield and made "bang" sounds.

Then, countless tiny leaves sprouted from the ground and instantly wrapped around their feet. Just as these leaves were about to burrow into flesh and blood to enjoy their meal, the soil around them kept churning, breaking all the leaves off and leaving only some fragments of branches and leaves mixed in with the soil, still writhing incessantly.

"These mutated plants on the mountain are really impossible to guard against. This one even crawled out of the ground. Luckily, I reacted quickly." Han Fangli vented his anger by stomping heavily on the fragments that were gradually ceasing to writhe.

Meanwhile, Qi Chengtian, who was being attacked by most of the mutated plants, remained completely calm. When the branches touched the black mist on his body, they were immediately swallowed up by the black mist. Fearing that the black mist would spread upwards, the mutated plants immediately broke off the branches that had come into contact with the black mist. The broken branches fell to the ground and did not continue to disappear. The cut surfaces that had come into contact with the black mist were smooth, as if they had been instantly melted away.

Knowing that Qi Chengtian's supernatural abilities were strange, these mutated plants immediately stopped attacking. Countless branches hovered in the air, like venomous snakes waiting for an opportunity to pounce and bite you at any moment.

Seeing that these mutated plants still refused to give up, Qi Chengtian conjured a black longsword in the air. This longsword was the same black mist that had been formed earlier. Qi Chengtian commanded the longsword to quickly slash at the branches that were suspended in the air. Those branches that could not dodge in time were immediately cut in half.

The longsword in his hand also cleaved through several mutated trees. Wherever the longsword passed, the originally incredibly hard tree trunks became as fragile as tofu and quickly disappeared.

After several attempts, the mutated plants around them stopped attacking them, and all the branches that had been flying everywhere were withdrawn.

At this moment, Han Fangliye withdrew his superpower and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the mutated plants on this mountain to be so clever. Knowing that our Brother Tian is not to be trifled with, they immediately became obedient."

After hearing his words, Qi Chengtian looked at the mutated plants that had become docile and a cold smile appeared on his lips. These things need to be beaten into submission before they will calm down and become like people.

The mutated plants behind them did not resist; they merely raised their branches slightly and swayed gently, as if trying to send a message inside, but the people inside did not understand what it meant.

"Boss, look! These mutated plants actually know to welcome us. It really is the apocalypse. Even these plants know how to bully the weak and fear the strong."

Han Fangli slapped the mutated plant that had attacked him earlier. It was a thick mutated poplar tree with a straight trunk and lush foliage. At this moment, the mutated poplar tree did not retaliate, but stubbornly swayed its branches upward.

Chen Minghang frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss. Were the plants on this mountain so intelligent? Could they even understand flattery? Why hadn't they encountered this situation on the main peak before?

"Of course, with our Brother Tian's strength, these plants don't want to die, right, Brother Tian?" Tong Weiwei walked beside Qi Chengtian. Although she didn't dare to get close to Qi Chengtian who had activated his superpowers, her eyes were always fixed on him, as if she were deeply in love with him.

Qi Chengtian glanced at her and said, "They're just level 2 mutated trees. Naturally, they don't want to bother us. Let's go quickly and not hurt these trees. Leave some mutated plants as a natural barrier so we can feel at ease living here."

"good."

What's a little strange is that they walked for a long time without encountering any mutated beasts. This mountain is so big, and the mutated plants are so dense, how could there not be a single mutated beast?

Without any mutated beasts, how did these mutated plants outside level up to level 2?

The mutated beasts on this mountain have survived for so long that they can already understand the signals between the mutated plants on the mountain. They know that a powerful person has appeared, and those overwhelming mutated plants are no match for them, so naturally they will not come out to be eaten.

Qi Chengtian and his group proceeded cautiously forward without encountering any further attacks, making their journey virtually unimpeded.

Meanwhile, A-Liu and Lao Bai, standing beside the fortress, received the signals from the mutated trees ahead. A-Liu quickly stretched her willow branches into the air, observing the situation described by the mutated trees.

Humans appearing on this mountain peak is not uncommon, but these mutated trees say that this time the humans seem to be very powerful and intend to live on this mountain peak permanently.

Ah Liu's willow branches slowly bent, and these mutated plants said that these people were approaching the center of the mountain peak, heading towards the mutated forest.

Ask A-Liu and Lao Bai if they should stop it.

Old White naturally saw it too. It gestured towards A Liu, and then its branches quickly stretched out to the outermost edge of the mutated forest, guarding the fortress at all times.

Ah Liu stretched out a willow branch and looked out of Lin Ruo's window. The master was still cultivating his supernatural abilities, so he couldn't disturb him now. He decided to let these people stay on the mountain peak for a while longer.

If they really get into the mutated forest, it and Old White will go together to stop them, in short, they can't disturb their master's cultivation.

Afu and Ashou had just returned from hunting and were drinking water in the fortress when Liuzhi stretched out into the fortress and gestured to them, telling them not to go out for the time being, as there were several powerful superhumans outside.

Ah Fu and Ah Shou understood. Ah Shou wanted to go out and help its master deal with these superhumans, but Ah Fu bit its tail and pulled it back. Ah Shou was in pain and just turned around when Ah Fu roared at it, "Awoo!"

If those superhumans are really as powerful as those mutated plants described, Ah Shou might not be a match for them. If Ah Shou gets injured, his master will only be more anxious.

Let's wait and see after Master finishes his cultivation.

A-Liu nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with A-Fu's point of view. The slender willow branches blocked A-Shou's way, preventing him from passing.

Seeing that Ah Fu and Ah Liu both said so, Ah Shou calmed down and obediently compromised, "Woof!"

Ah Fu and Ah Liu were relieved. Although Ah Shou was reckless, he wouldn't run away as long as it agreed.

Afu got up and ran towards the outer edge of the mutated forest, with Ashou following closely behind. They ran to the edge of the mutated forest, hid behind the tall mutated trees, and guarded it together with Lao Bai.

Just then, unnoticed by anyone, the little tiger's figure flashed through the woods and disappeared completely.
