Under the cover of night, surrounded by towering mutated plants, a tall figure darted through the forest, followed closely by a dozen shadows, with gunshots ringing out from time to time.
"Roar!" The figure at the front was the mutated tiger that had been targeting the Qiyuan Base, while the one chasing it from behind was a superhuman from the B City Base.
Chen Yu rushed to the front of the group, holding a crystal energy gun. He quickly aimed at the huge figure in front of him and fired decisively. However, the mutated tiger in front of him was moving very fast, and none of the bullets hit it.
"Fifty meters ahead, 11 o'clock, earth-type sand formation, fire!" Chen Yu calmly used his gun to stop the tiger from escaping into the bushes while issuing orders to the superpowered team members beside him.
Their superpowered team had been working together seamlessly. As soon as he spoke, a large area of land turned to sand in the spot Chen Yu had imagined. The mutated tiger's front paws landed right on it, and it was clearly tripped, causing its massive body to lunge forward.
Chen Yu seized the opportunity and fired two shots. Hearing the wind behind it, the tiger rolled over. Although the two shots hit the tiger's body, they both hit its least important leg. The tiger roared in pain, then quickly stood up and continued running forward.
"This beast is really hard to kill!" The superhumans in Chen Yu's team complained. It had taken them several days just to track down this mutated tiger. The tiger was extremely cunning. They had finally caught its trail, but it was still able to run away!
Chen Yu didn't reply to the man's words, but kept his eyes fixed on the mutated tiger's figure in front of him, and said into his earpiece, "1 o'clock, prepare the Vine Constriction Technique."
The wood-type ability user in the team immediately activated his ability, running while keeping a close eye on the target direction. Chen Yu swiftly leaped over the roots of the mutated plants on the ground, tilting his body to the side to dodge the mutated plants attacking him. Just as the mutated tiger was about to reach that position, he immediately said into his earpiece, "Release!"
Suddenly, a large number of vines shot up from the front, intertwining and wrapping around the tiger that had already stepped into the hole with one leg. The mutated tiger's leg was injured, and its movements were not as agile as before. When it tried to turn around by sweeping its tail, a sharp pain came from its leg, slowing its movements by a second. In that one second, a large number of vines behind it had already wrapped around the mutated tiger's body.
Although these vines couldn't harm the tiger, they would still hinder its movement for a short time. Just then, Chen Yu fired at the mutated tiger again. "Bang bang bang..." Several shots rang out in succession. The mutated tiger couldn't dodge in the end, and two bloody holes appeared on its forehead.
The mutated tiger, which had been struggling to break free of its restraints, now stood stiff, its head turned in one direction, its large eyes filled with longing and reluctance to leave this world. Finally, it slowly closed its eyes, and its huge body crashed to the ground, raising clouds of dust. The tiger was dead.
A dozen or so ability users from City B quickly arrived in front of the mutated tiger. They were all panting heavily. They had been chasing the tiger for two hours, and two hours of running at full speed had already exceeded their daily exercise routine.
"Damn it, finally killed this guy, I'm exhausted." A metal-type ability user muttered, then plopped down on the ground.
Chen Yu was on high alert. He stepped forward to check on the mutated tiger and, after confirming that it was indeed dead, he beckoned to the space-type ability users in the team, "Put the mutated tiger's body into your space."
"Yes!" The space-type ability user stepped forward, slightly out of breath. A white light flashed in his palm, and the mutated tiger, which was already more than ten meters long, was put into his space.
Chen Yu frowned slightly as he looked at the superhuman team members who were already sitting on the ground. They were exhausted after only two hours of running; they still needed more training.
"Stand up! Who told you to sit down! After returning to base, each of you will carry the load for five kilometers. No one is allowed to slack off!"
The team members immediately cried out in pain, but they did not resist. They knew that being under Chen Yu's tutelage and being trained by him was an opportunity for them. In this world, who wouldn't want more ways to save their lives?
Chen Yu glanced in the direction where the mutated tiger had died before quickly leaving with his dozen or so team members.
...
On the other side, Lin Ruo, who had dealt with Li Ke a day earlier, was now riding on A Shou's back, standing in front of a dense grove of mutated trees. Her destination, Jade Dragon Manor, was located right in the center of this grove.
She quickly scanned the area with her mental energy. The trees in this forest were different from the mutated trees she had seen before. Each tree was probably several decades or even hundreds of years old. The older trees had advanced aptitude after mutation. Lin Ruo had already discovered nearly ten level 3 mutated trees.
No wonder that woman looked terrified when she mentioned this place; the mutated plants here are indeed very powerful.
Among these trees, a mutated tree soared into the clouds, having already reached level 4! Lin Ruo's spiritual power swept over the unripe white fruit at the top of the tree; it was the one she was looking for!
"Let's go in and take a look."
Ah Shou and Ah Fu were on high alert, moving very slowly as they entered. Although they carried plant-suppressing powder, the plants here were exceptionally powerful, so they had to be careful.
Lin Ruo used his mental energy throughout. Once they had fully entered the depths of this mutated forest, all the mutated plants around them started to move. Countless branches attacked Lin Ruo and his companions, but before they could reach Lin Ruo, the branches stopped in mid-air and quickly turned into withered branches.
The withered color spread rapidly across these mutated plants. Many of the mutated plants broke off the withered branches, but it was no use. The entire tree would still wither away at an extremely fast pace.
Lin Ruo and the others walked forward quickly, and the mutated plants around them were drained of their essence and withered away rapidly.
Then, one by one, the crystal cores broke through the soil and were carried to Lin Ruo by thin streams of water.
In just a few hundred meters, there were already more than a dozen crystal cores in front of Lin Ruo. The green essence liquid suspended in the air had expanded to a diameter of two meters. The essence was still flowing continuously in the sphere, emitting the fragrance of grass and trees.
This deterrent scared away all the mutated plants that wanted to attack but hadn't yet made a move, and not a single mutated plant launched an attack against them.
Lin Ruo nodded in satisfaction and continued walking forward with Afu and Ashou.
This sap was extremely attractive to these mutated plants, and within just a few seconds, they began to stir again.
Lin Ruo glanced at them out of the corner of her eye, then sent the essence into her spatial dimension and handed it to A Liu inside. Because the mutated plants here were generally quite strong, the energy in this essence was naturally far greater than before.
Ah Liu couldn't wait to stick the willow branch into these essences and absorb them frantically.
Seeing that the mutated plants around them had stopped attacking them, Afu and Ashou immediately quickened their pace and rushed forward in the direction Lin Ruo had pointed out earlier.
