After a long time, his subordinate quickly ran back.
“Boss, there’s an abandoned cable car stop on the other side of the mountain. Based on my observation, it leads directly to Yangcheng Mountain Range. There are fresh footprints on the ground there. It looks like this person has entered Yangcheng Mountain Range.”
Black Knife was also shocked. He said straight away, “Is this person an idiot? Yangcheng Mountain Range has become a playground for monsters. The evolutionary beasts there have gone mad. They kill every living thing they see. They don’t turn around unless you’re dead, and…that black wolf is ridiculously powerful!”
At that moment, the subordinates’ faces were filled with fear. If their boss had ordered them to search the place, it would be a near-death experience. However, they did not dare to say anything else. They had witnessed his cruelty just now.
“He’s headed to the Yangcheng Mountain Range? This guy is really not afraid of death!”
The boss glanced at the scared faces around him and snorted. “I know what you’re thinking. The chances of this person dying inside are very high. You guys should just wait for reinforcements from the organization here. If this happens again, you should know what to do, Black Knife!”
Black Knife’s body trembled after registering his words. He immediately nodded. “Understood! It definitely won’t happen again.”
The boss did not say anything. He left the scene straight away, leaving behind a group of survivors. They were afraid of being asked to enter Yangcheng Mountain Range. Instead of calling it a mountain range, it was more like a living hell or a paradise of death.
It took half of their men to scour through a small portion of the region with great difficulty. It was evident just how terrifying it was. Vicious beasts that had survived in such a brutal environment like the Yangcheng Mountain Range possessed extraordinary battle experience. None of them were easy to deal with.
…
At the same time.
Qi Shu headed towards the outskirts of Yangcheng Mountain Range. Looking at the endless forest in the distance, he felt like he was about to enter the arena of death. All the hairs on his body stood on end. He managed to detect even the slightest of movements.
Just as he was about to reach his destination, Qi Shu jumped down and slammed his right hand on the cable pillar. After stabilizing himself, he released his grip and landed on the platform.
It was extremely high up here. Unless he encountered evolved beasts like birds or snakes, nothing else would pose a threat to him.
He lowered the rope from the platform and reached the bottom. He saw that the trees there were covered in battle scars. There were bloodstains on them as well. The marks exuded a bloody and murderous air!
He had only taken a few steps forward when he discovered a few large evolutionary beasts that had been killed. The ground was dyed red by the blood that sprayed out from their bodies. The thick stench of blood assaulted his nostrils and made him feel like he had fallen into an icy cave.
The three evolutionary beasts were all deer with horns. Their horns had been broken, and the heads of two of them had been smashed. However, looking at the sharp teeth in the mouth of the remaining deer, Qi Shu felt that they were no longer vegetarians.
The soft organs in their abdomen had been completely hollowed out. Many of their organs were thrown everywhere, and some were even hanging from the trees.
However, one thing was certain—these three creatures did not kill each other. Instead, they had been bitten to death by a certain creature. There was a huge piece of missing flesh on their backs, and even their bones had been crushed. The evolutionary beast that had killed them was very large.
Qi Shu looked at his surroundings and felt the cold killing intent and bloody chills overcome him. His senses and vigilance automatically heightened to its maximum limit. In such a dangerous environment, his brain had reacted on its own accord. He had to force his body to leave the area. This place was dangerous.
This was a physical state that one’s body would automatically activate when one is faced with absolute danger. Some people would just stay fixated on the spot. There was nobody who did not want to stay away from danger. However, there were some people who were as tough as steel and would reject this feeling straight away.
Qi Shu had underestimated Yangcheng Mountain Range. He sucked in a deep breath of cold air before exhaling slowly. He completely dispersed the restlessness in his heart and slowly walked into the distance.
The sky was gradually lighting up, so he could still see his surroundings relatively clearly.
…
Qi Shu did not disregard any of the details along the way. He kept listening carefully to the movements around him. In a harsh forest like this, evolutionary beasts that managed to survive either had extremely strong life-preserving abilities or were capable of surviving a massacre.
The former probably would not be found by him, while the latter was fearless. They definitely had a lot of combat experience. It was mandatory for them to know how to carry out sneak attacks, ambushes, hide themselves, and so-on.
As Qi Shu slowly walked forward, he suddenly felt a cold murderous gaze looking at him from his right. He immediately turned his head and realized that the murderous aura had disappeared.
However, he was sure that he had not been mistaken because he was nervous. The murderous gaze was real.
Qi Shu’s heart sank slightly. He had only been here for less than five minutes, yet he had already been targeted. This evolutionary beast was indeed smart. It didn’t get too close to him so that he was unable to sense its exact location.
The senses of wild beasts would always be many times stronger than that of humans. Furthermore, this was their home ground. This was not a battleground. At the very least, they had to take the initiative to turn their prey into a hunter.
Qi Shu made up his mind and immediately moved in another direction. He ran back in the direction that he had come from. Along the way, he used his movement technique to move through the forest. He moved like a phantom as he quickly left the forest.
However, the evolutionary beast hiding behind him was also rapidly approaching.
Qi Shu turned back to take a look. He could only hear the rustling of the grass around him, but he could not see the creature that had made the noise.
Qi Shu laughed coldly. How could a beast be smarter than a human? He immediately changed his direction and sped up as he headed towards another direction.
Qi Shu suddenly moved in another direction. The evolutionary beast quickly stopped and ran over. However, after a second, it lost track of its target.
The evolution beast could only slow down. It used its nose to take in the lingering smell in the air in an attempt to find its prey.
Qi Shu climbed up a tree and looked at the evolutionary beast. He could not help but feel secretly impressed. It was as expected of a creature that had managed to survive. It was obvious that this was a creature that was not to be trifled with.
It was a black panther that was at least five meters long. Its black fur was black and shiny, and the tuft of white fur on its chest was extremely eye-catching. It had a plump body, and its muscles were well-developed. Its limbs were short but strong.
When the black panther moved, the muscles on its body rippled like waves. Coupled with its orange eyes, it was filled with a sense of wildness and the intent to kill!
Just then, the black panther was looking around cautiously. It twitched its nose like it was trying to sense something, but it was cautious with every step that it took. It would not move forward recklessly without the target in sight.
Evolutionary beasts that tended to move forward rashly had probably died in the first wave of massacres.
Very soon, the black panther arrived at his hiding spot. This was the perfect opportunity.
