Chapter 613: Chapter 335: When the Alien Army Encounters the Demon Army? (Part 2)

The animals within the Restricted Area, except for their fur which can be used for protective gear and bones that can barely be made into weapons, have no other value, far less than directly hunting Catastrophe Level Monsters.

But the mutants inside are different. As mortal enemies transformed from NPCs of various races, there might be good things on their bodies. The stronger the transformed NPC, the higher the chance of dropping good items, just like the Energy Blood Essence dropped by Blood Coagulation Realm NPCs during plot battles, along with severely damaged weapons and battle armor, all of which can be recovered and sold.

Especially Energy Blood Essence, it’s something monsters would never drop; only Blood Coagulation Realm NPCs drop them, and NPCs of the Blood Coagulation Realm are not so common in the Four Domains and cannot be killed at will.

If a large number of Blood Coagulation Realm mutants were to come, it would be no different from delivering Energy Blood Essence. Even if one Energy Blood Essence drops after killing a hundred Blood Coagulation Realm mutants, it’s a huge gain.

"Are they crazy? Why aren’t they acting yet?"

Meng De was baffled as he looked at the members of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, who were entirely unresponsive and even showed excitement.

Others avoid mutants like the plague. Not to mention that the mutants are powerful and hard to deal with, the mere fact of not knowing how one gets corrupted by mutants and becomes one is enough to make one’s hair stand on end.

But these gray-clothed disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, upon hearing that mutants attract more mutants, instead of being afraid, looked at it as if they were seeing treasures; their nerves were simply abnormal.

Vice-captain Imilia quickly said, "Brother Meng De, these people from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall are crazy; we should retreat quickly!"

Currently, all the attention of the mutants like Titan Kong Fendi is on Luo Wushang, not daring to move rashly. This is their best chance to escape.

"It’s too late now." Meng De shook his head with an unpleasant expression, "The wisdom of the mutants is the same as those who haven’t been transformed, and their means of communication differ from ours. They probably called for reinforcement just now. Now each one is silent, merely stalling for time; we’ll only run into the encroaching mutant army if we retreat now."

Though mutants in the Restricted Area are not always around like cabbages, they can be encountered anytime because they prefer to act alone, lurking everywhere, which even Celestial Human Realm grandmasters often fail to detect.

If they notified all the mutants within range, the numbers would be terrifying.

He had only encountered this situation once in his life, and even then, he was far off with his teacher, using a cloak that shielded life energy, fortunately preventing the mutants from noticing them. They watched helplessly as other Domain Cities, with elite teams of dozens led by Celestial Human Realm grandmasters, were wiped out with resentment by thousands of mutant armies.

Ultimately, the Celestial Human Realm grandmaster was also corrupted into a mutant, a memory that haunted him for a lifetime.

The entire cause was merely due to a member within the team being corrupted and transformed. While identifying which individuals were mutants, a hidden mutant called its companions before dying...

"What should we do now?" Vice-captain Imilia felt a sense of despair.

Although she had never witnessed a mutant army firsthand, she had seen many records collected by the Mist Mountain Domain City, some even containing video footage of mutant armies.

A team of a thousand exploring the Restricted Area was besieged by thousands of mutants, and eventually, only a few dozen escaped by chance; her crew of dozens stood even less of a chance. Even though they were all Blood Coagulation Realm experts, up against mutants nearing Blood Coagulation Realm strength, it meant little.

"We can only go with these maniacs." Meng De looked toward the people of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

Although reluctant to admit it, his group’s only chance of survival now was with these gray-clothed disciples from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, who aimed to battle the mutant army.

Previously, he hadn’t carefully sensed during their escape, but now upon closer perception, he realized that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s team was not ordinary.

The entire group, though less than two hundred, consisted entirely of gray-clothed disciples within the Bone Forging Realm, meaning nearly two hundred at Blood Coagulation Realm battle strength, plus one who could instantly kill Storm Child Tania, with likely close to Heavenly Human Realm Middle Tier Grandmaster strength, which was Luo Wushang.

Such power, if solely focused on escaping the outermost part of the Restricted Area, held a significant chance of success.

So Meng De reported his name to Luo Wushang and the others, hoping they would accept him to join them. He even offered the two Energy Blood Essences he had, promising three more if they safely left the Restricted Area.

This delighted Luo Wushang and the others, as they hadn’t expected to randomly encounter a protection mission in the Restricted Area, and earn five Energy Blood Essences.

"Alright, you all head to the center of the team, our people will protect you," Luo Wushang accepted the two Energy Blood Essences and pointed towards the back of the team, instructing, "But during the battle, make sure not to leave our group, or it will be difficult for us to ensure your safety."

"Thank you." Meng De let out a sigh of relief and led the Mist Mountain Domain City’s team into the group’s center position.

As the people from Mist Mountain Domain City entered the center of Celestial Might’s group, they felt conflicted, especially those above Blood Coagulation Realm Middle Tier, who were quite displeased.

"No matter what, we are Blood Coagulation Realm experts, yet these people from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall consider us burdens; they seriously underestimate the Mist Mountain Domain City!" an advanced Blood Coagulation Realm Sub-demon Race man said, looking at the team’s formation and Luo Wushang’s words with anger.

The current team’s formation was evidently a defensive circle, with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall members surrounding them. Unless the mutant army broke through, they had no chance to act, essentially treating the super talents of these Domain Cities like infants needing protection.

To this, Meng De merely shot the Sub-demon Race man a glare, signaling him to shut up without further words.

Because Meng De, too, felt somewhat displeased.

They intended to cooperate with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall against the mutant army, but now it seemed like they were weaklings needing protection. This had never happened since they arrived in the Mist Mountain Domain City.

Though Meng De acknowledged the strength of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s team, he mainly attributed it to Luo Wushang as their leader. Removing Luo Wushang, he didn’t believe his team was inferior to the members of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

"Xie Feina, do you think these people from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall have a chance to break through?" Vice-captain Imilia asked softly, glancing at Luo Wushang, who was confronting Titan Kong Fendi and others mid-air.

Xie Feina, as the peerless talent of the Mist Mountain Domain City, would have typically broken through to the Blood Coagulation Realm there, but she chose to do so at the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, a decision that sparked many discussions in the Mist Mountain Domain City, with people puzzled about why Xie Feina took such a risk.

However, it showed that Xie Feina shared a close relationship with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and should understand them quite well.

"There’s about a fifty percent chance," Xie Feina pondered and said,

For Vice-captain Imilia’s question, if not for the actions of Luo Wushang, she would have said without hesitation that it was impossible, as the overall strength of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was evident.

While there were quite a few Bone Forging Realm disciples, aside from one gray-clothed disciple ranked at the top of the Half-step Celestial Human Realm, reports from Wraith Mountain Range based on detected battles showed that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall indeed had several formidable fighters comparable to Half-step Celestial Humans, but without that gray-clothed disciple, they would have lost, and quite miserably so.

Against mutant armies that even claim the lives of Celestial Human Realm grandmasters, they’d definitely be doomed.

But now, with a master like Luo Wushang present, combined with the impressive strength of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s Bone Forging Realm disciples, like Meng De said, they had a significant chance to break through.

"Fifty percent? That high?" Vice-captain Imilia was slightly surprised. By her estimate, the team of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, even with Luo Wushang’s presence, would only have a ten to twenty percent chance of breaking through. After all, the mutants sometimes included those who had broken through from the Blood Coagulation Realm to the Celestial Human Realm, not to mention that this was the outermost part of the Restricted Area; any deeper, and the chance would be zero.

But according to Xie Feina, the breakthrough chance was as high as fifty percent, indicating the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s strength far exceeded what rumors suggested.

While Vice-captain Imilia and Xie Feina spoke, the mutants like Titan Kong Fendi, previously motionless in mid-air, suddenly sneered, as if mocking Luo Wushang’s foolishness.

"It has begun!"

Meng De watched with a grim countenance toward the figures rushing in from all directions. Even with rough estimates, their number exceeded three thousand, each possessing strength nearly at the Blood Coagulation Realm.

The top three were particularly despair-inducing for Meng De.

"Celestial Human Realm Grandmasters!"

"How can this be! Three Celestial Human Realm Grandmasters?!"
