The trees are dense, poisonous creatures are lurking, serpents and beasts are hidden, and danger is omnipresent, making it a top-ranked forbidden territory for humans.
On the mountainside, there is a natural cave, with an entrance over fifteen meters high and about ten meters wide, inside it is dark and damp.
Occasionally, icy cold winds gush out from the cave entrance, causing the cave to emit eerie ghostly wails.
With the sound of heavy footsteps approaching, a massive black silhouette appeared.
Fang Yuan stepped into the cave, emitting a faint glow of blood, illuminating the surroundings.
The cave wasn’t large, and after following the path for a hundred meters, Fang Yuan reached the deepest part.
What appeared was a huge space, about thirty meters wide, and the top was spacious and quite flat.
And in the center of the cave, there was an irregularly shaped massive pit.
Fang Yuan slowly approached the edge of the pit, his tiger-like eyes glinting as he gazed down. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novᴇlfire.net
Inside, the smooth walls of the pit and the bottom were painted with some kind of blood-colored symbols.
These symbol patterns, though without discernible patterns.
But at that moment, they were emitting a faint glow of blood, as if breathing, the light flickering, appearing extremely mysterious.
At the bottom of the pit, faintly visible in the dim blood light, were numerous things squirming in the darkness, densely packed, colliding with each other, emitting a chilling sound.
"Once this Demon Monarch’s Demon Gu is complete, let’s see what humans can do to me?"
Fang Yuan glanced back, his eyes filled with pride.
At this moment, behind Fang Yuan, a faint blood light was glowing, with strands of blood-colored Spiritual Power emerging from his body, forming several blood ropes in the air.
These blood ropes looked like branches, stretching in the air, with a blood-colored light ball resembling fruit hanging at the end.
These blood-colored light balls varied in size, some as large as water vats, others about as big as a fist, looking extremely bizarre.
However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that these blood-colored light balls were indeed imprisoning some creatures, motionless.
Among them was a ferocious and venomous snake over four meters long, exuding black air; a colorful blue toad the size of a soccer ball; dozens of sinister-looking blood ants; as well as a black spider the size of a washbasin...
All of these were poisonous creatures that Fang Yuan had captured in Wulong Mountain.
Then, with a thought from Fang Yuan, these blood-colored light balls were transferred by the blood ropes to above the pit.
The blood-colored light balls shattered one by one, and the poisonous creatures inside fell into the pit.
Instantly, the whole pit seemed to explode like a pot, with piercing buzzing sounds arising, and countless poisonous creatures biting and tearing each other apart.
Inside a clean and tidy laboratory.
In the center, there was an egg-shaped instrument, pure white on the exterior, extremely precise, with a large internal space.
At this moment, a soldier lay inside, expression calm.
Outside stood several researchers in lab coats.
Among them, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a frail figure said to a young man holding a tablet, "Xiao Zhang, you may start!"
"Okay, Professor Li."
Xiao Zhang nodded respectfully and then tapped on the tablet in his hand.
With the instrument’s activation, a bright deep purple light flashed inside, the dazzling light making the soldier close his eyes tightly.
Everyone was staring at the instrument, fearing any mistakes.
At that moment, there was a sound of dense footsteps outside the door.
Hearing this, everyone turned to look.
Professor Li saw the visitor and walked over with a smile.
"Professor Li, how is it? How is the soldier’s body condition?"
Dean Lin walked in with a group of people, asking with concern.
"Dean Lin, from previous tests, this soldier’s body is in great condition, even surprisingly good due to the consumption of the Mutated Fruit.
Relying on Extraordinary Abilities, the speed can reach five times that of a normal person, it’s safe to say that he’s almost like a superhuman."
"No side effects have been discovered yet, and we’re conducting the final examination now, but I think there shouldn’t be any problems!"
Professor Li sighed with emotion.
"If the Mutated Fruit truly has no issues, that’s fantastic!"
Dean Lin nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
Initially, no one expected the Mutated Fruit to be so miraculous, granting humans Extraordinary Abilities akin to ferocious beasts.
Now that this has come to light, it naturally drew national attention, aiming to determine if there were any problems after the fruit is consumed.
At this moment, Xiao Zhang, who had been staring at the tablet, approached Professor Li, "Professor Li, the test results are out, and there’s no sign of any pathology in the soldier’s body. Please take a look."
Professor Li quickly took the tablet and examined it carefully, indeed finding it to be the case.
"Dean Lin, now you can rest assured, this Mutated Fruit is basically harmless, with no side effects on the human body!"
Professor Li said with a cheerful smile.
"Good, good, good! I will report this to the higher-ups immediately, this Mutated Fruit is too important, it must be taken seriously!"
Dean Lin laughed heartily, his face glowing with joy.
After receiving the answer, Dean Lin didn’t linger and hurriedly left with his group.
With the release of the Mutated Fruit’s test results, the top officials of the Great Qin Empire received Dean Lin’s report, and after a discussion, a decision was made.
A nationwide notification was issued, explaining the effects of the Mutated Fruit, and allowing the search and consumption of Mutated Fruits to strengthen human forces.
The Great Qin Empire erupted at once!
The entire Great Qin Empire was greatly excited by the news, immediately taking action.
In a short time, numerous forces delved into the forests, searching for potential Mutated Fruits, and simultaneously sweeping the ferocious beasts residing within.
As more and more Mutated Fruits were discovered, a large number of humans with Extraordinary Abilities emerged.
These people were referred to as Extraordinaries!
They wielded the same Extraordinary Abilities as the ferocious beasts, and could fight and battle ferocious beasts without using hot weapons.
Although their current combat strength wasn’t yet prominent, the future holds unlimited potential.
The Great Qin Empire also regarded the Extraordinaries as a hope for future battles against ferocious beasts!
Immersed in the Cyan Stone Pool, Nangong Luo’s body trembled as innumerable golden light surged from within, enveloping her.
Spiritual Qi from all directions came rushing into her body, Spiritual Power flowed like a stream, frantically circulating within, nourishing and tempering her tiger body.
Her flesh continuously tightened, her bones emitted crisp sounds, and her breathing gradually grew long and steady.
With a thunderous sound emanating from within, Nangong Luo’s aura shifted dramatically!
The tiger body engulfed in golden light expanded visibly until it was nearly seven meters, finally halting.
"Finally broke through to the second tier!"
Nangong Luo collected her aura and leapt out of the Cyan Stone Pool, now exhilarated.
Advancing to the second tier so early was a full six months ahead of time compared to her past life as a human...
However, just then, in the distance, Jiang Che, who had been sleeping, suddenly had his aura fluctuate and increase significantly.
Immediately, Nangong Luo’s joyous steps halted, her initial excitement vanished into thin air.
She was utterly speechless!
"Big Brother’s breakthrough is as easy as drinking water!"
Nangong Luo inwardly smiled wryly.
