This time, Zhang Mu was able to confirm that it was a relic, because he did not hear it from hearsay, because he had witnessed the birth of the relic with his own eyes. At that time, he was conducting a large-scale mutant beast core transaction, but was directly dragged into this huge storm.

That was the biggest war in Zhang Mu’s memory, unprecedented and unparalleled.

It was already the sixth year of the end of the world, and Zhang Mu was deeply impressed by every detail. At that time, the most advanced mutant beasts and zombies had already reached the fifth level, but could not go any further, which was the same as humans.

As for the sixth level, it began to appear explosively in the ninth year of the apocalypse. It was already the recognized peak level among humans, mutant beasts, and zombies at that time. However, the emergence of the power of law in the end also made them feel hopeful. But in the fifth year of the apocalypse, all the consensus, including the information revealed to them by the Epoch Merchants, was that the sixth level was already the limit they could reach.

But in the later period, humans' inherent qualities had completely lost their advantages. The only huge advantage in the early stage also disappeared after zombies and mutant beasts opened their spiritual intelligence.

So, they were looking for something on Earth that could allow them to reach that level. They were looking like crazy because the feeling of stagnation in power was too unpleasant. The mutant beasts and intelligent zombies with super high intelligence had already awakened, so they turned their attention to the opposing camp.

At the beginning, the zombies only targeted the treasures guarded by the mutant beasts, but in the process, the mutant beasts instead hunted down and killed the zombie king. It just so happened that the zombie king had advanced unimpeded through the relic. If it had not been for its inflated strength and excessive confidence, it would not have been besieged to death. However, when the relic was taken out of the zombie king's body by the mutant beasts, its effect was magnified countless times.

It just so happened that there was a medicinal herb cultivated by a fifth-level mutant beast at the place where the intelligent zombie died. When the relic left the zombie's body, the medicinal herb became spiritual and showed great desire. Then when the mutant beasts, whose wisdom was close to that of a demon, placed this rare relic next to the natural treasures they had carefully cultivated, they discovered something that made them extremely excited: this relic could ripen their medicinal herbs.

Yes, it is the effect of ripening. The relics are only useful for high-grade natural treasures, and these natural treasures themselves are the reliance for the mutant beasts to advance to the final step, so the mutant beasts are all restless.

There are more or less natural treasures in the world, and basically every fifth-order mutant beast will have some, but they are basically immature. Even if they are irrigated with the flesh and blood of humans or zombies every day, the effect they can have is minimal.

However, the appearance of the relic completely broke this balance, because no matter who is stronger or weaker among the current fifth-level beasts, whoever advances to the sixth level first will be the one to be admired by the mutant beasts.

And there are as many as seventeen such people with the aura of relics in the zombie group. Including the one who has been killed, the number of Eighteen Arhats is complete, which vaguely fits with some inexplicable texture of fate.

Thus, a war between mutant beasts and zombies broke out. The mutant beasts desired the relics in the bodies of the eleven zombies, but how could the zombies sit there and wait to die? They withdrew all their forces to protect their eleven kings.

One is that their peak strength cannot be lost, and the other is that their most powerful competitors, the mutant beasts, cannot be allowed to grow. Otherwise, as one grows stronger while the other shrinks, their zombie clan will surely be buried in the dust of history. Moreover, they do not have an epoch store like humans to protect the last bit of their bloodline.

Once we lose the war, our entire clan will be wiped out!

Therefore, this war concerning the survival of the race was completely launched when the mutant beasts had lost their minds. In order to fight for the throne and the opportunity to advance to the sixth level, all the mutant beasts launched their own beast tides and launched attacks again and again towards the opponent's shrinking defense circle.

The zombies guarded the eleven kings in the core area, defending them like an iron barrel.
