RPAGF Chapter 178 Cave
Chapter 178 Cave
Miao Yin and the others walked around the aquatic animal enclosure, up the stone steps, and headed up Tiger Mountain.
The trees above were even denser, and the glass enclosures that used to house the poultry were all shattered, with debris and blackened bloodstains everywhere.
"Why did you come here?" Gong Jingming asked.
Most people would avoid danger at all costs, but they were the opposite, they had to come and see for themselves.
"Of course it's for the crystal cores," Miao Yin said. "Power won't grow when you're lazy. If you don't actively seek opportunities, you'll fall into a lower level. You should understand this principle."
"You're not afraid..."
Gong Jingming paused for a moment.
No, she really doesn't need to be afraid.
The people around her are all people with superpowers, and she also has a white snake by her side. She herself is so powerful that she naturally doesn't need to worry about being killed by mutants. That's probably why she came to a place like this to hunt mutants and upgrade her superpowers.
“You have to get used to this. Surviving in the apocalypse is all about running around, but before it was for food, now it's for power.”
As Miao Yin spoke, she flipped open a broken sign by the roadside.
—Vulture.
The creature lurked silently, drooling. Its cold gaze reminded Miao Yin of the creature she had encountered on Monkey Mountain, but it was different.
Let's just order it directly.
"Click." With the bullet chambered, Miao Yin raised her hand, aimed at a grove of trees, and fired three shots.
The unsilenced gunshots rang out loudly in the quiet environment, like a startled bow.
The creature in the woods was hit, letting out a canine howl.
Before she could even wonder why she had a gun, Yao Yue immediately tensed up and activated her supernatural ability to erect a protective barrier.
Gong Jingming also gripped the hilt of the knife in his hand. The man-eating flower appeared at his feet, growing from a small flower to the height of a person.
Enraged, the monsters emerged from the shadows, their fangs snapping tree branches, their bloodthirsty eyes turning black, and greedy swallowing sounds emanating from their throats.
They were a pack of carnivorous, mutated hyenas.
"Ho..."
Another hyena emerged from behind the trees. It was much larger than the others, with its stiff fur standing on end and a fierce face that vaguely resembled a human.
It walked to the center of the hyena pack, like a king giving orders.
Without a doubt, it is the strongest of them all.
But the gunfire attracted far more than just them.
On the artificial hill, an enormous lizard climbed down, its long black tongue flicking out.
The trees rustled, and a large Siberian tiger leaped out, its roar like a bell. A leopard sharpened its claws on the ground, and a flock of black-eyed parrots circled in the air.
They were surrounded.
“There are quite a few,” Ling said.
"A little more than before."
Miao Yin looked around and noticed that among these mutated animals, there were quite a few at the yellow crystal core level.
Aberrant life forms at the Huangjing level will devour their own kind.
Surprisingly, many of the mutated creatures here travel in groups, following the characteristics of their species; the group that had just attacked them was also like that.
...not normal.
Miao Yin thought to herself.
"Ling, I'm leaving this to you."
"Okay." Although she didn't understand what Miao Yin was going to do, Ling still agreed.
Miao Yin summoned a raging inferno from her palm, pushed off with her feet, and appeared in front of the hyena pack. With a wave of her arm, the flames engulfed everything.
The lower-ranking mutant hyenas were burned to ashes before they could even lift their chins.
The hyena in the center howled mournfully amidst the flames. It was the only yellow crystal core-level monster here, and only it could withstand the super-powerful Blood Guanyin.
Miao Yin seized the opportunity, chopped off its head with an axe, and sent it to its death.
After accepting a few crystal cores, Miao Yin continued forward, stepping on the flames, leaving the battlefield behind to them.
She was going to find the hidden thing.
Tiger Mountain has a spacious terrain, and the man-made rockery blends perfectly with the original forest, creating a zoo with a primitive appearance.
Miao Yin nimbly moved through it, stopping from time to time to sense the movement around her.
She could feel that the damp, sticky gaze lingering on her.
It should be somewhere around here.
She looked around. This was the wolf's habitat, separated by a downward-digging slope. The dry grass extended to the path leading to the keeper's house. The artificial river had dried up, and the wolf pack inside had long since disappeared.
Miao Yin glanced at the sign introducing the animals; the wolf in the picture was not the same species as the one she had just seen below.
If you go any further over there, you'll reach the gorilla enclosure.
"despair"
She noticed a slight noise and turned her head sharply.
Behind the bus stop where tourists were resting, a familiar figure appeared, and the person froze when they saw her.
“Tu Hao.” Miao Yin’s tone rose slightly.
"Tsk, what are you doing here?" Tu Hao's dark green eyes narrowed.
What a small world! He's gone so far, how could we possibly run into each other again? And the air isn't fresh anymore.
He glanced around and said knowingly, "You're here to see that guy too?"
“You sensed it.” Miao Yin turned her question into a statement.
"I could feel it from over at Monkey Mountain. The supernatural power kept making noise, it was so noisy." Tu Hao walked over from the rest stop and stood a little distance away from her.
His pockets were bulging, and his clothes were stained with blood. He looked travel-worn, indicating that he had fought his way here and had achieved considerable success.
Tu Hao noticed her gaze, and feeling somewhat awkward and dissatisfied, he threw all the crystal cores at her.
"Don't say I disobeyed you."
Miao Yin held a handful of crystal cores, finding it rather amusing.
"Okay, I know you're the best girl."
"Damn, don't disgust me." Tu Hao got goosebumps all over.
Miao Yin stopped teasing him and said, "Now that you're here, use your abilities to find that guy."
Tu Hao walked past her and scanned the wolf pack's habitat below.
"I have the strongest sense of danger down here, it must be hiding somewhere."
He closed his eyes, activated his special ability, and focused intently on sensing.
Time stood still at that moment. The power of the spiritual system unfolded and spread from the body. Everything around turned into a two-dimensional map. Every dust particle in the air and the gentle breeze blowing through the trees became information, which was deciphered by the crying wolf, bringing a premonition of danger.
[Sizzle...]
On the diagram, the threads of the spirit are being pulled.
Tu Hao opened his eyes and looked at the cliff that was hidden by trees.
"found it."
Miao Yin followed his gaze and said, "So it's a 'cold-weather bird' that nests on the cliff."
"You first?"
Miao Yin glanced at him.
Tu Hao: "..."
The wolf's claws reached out, he grabbed the railing, and with a flip, jumped down the slope.
Tu Hao walked along, observing his surroundings, and finally arrived at a place where he was hidden.
These trees appear to have been planted later, and the planting technique was mediocre. There is still a lot of soil left at the base of the trees that has not been filled back in, as well as several strange small holes.
"Poke it out..."
So Tu Hao patted the tree in the middle and then kicked it.
The tree trunk made a dull thud, sending wood chips flying, and the area that was kicked was completely shattered.
Tu Hao pulled it toward him, and the tree fell down, revealing a hole that had been hidden in the rock face.
The edges of the hole were very smooth, as if it had been meticulously carved.
Tu Hao grabbed a tree next to him, jumped up, and landed in the cave.
But the moment he stepped onto the rock wall, the originally gentle sound of the danger premonition suddenly exploded with a crazy roar!
His pupils contracted, and he immediately fell backward, jumping down into the cave.
Immediately afterwards, a huge sound wave came from inside the cave, and several surrounding trees were all snapped and blasted away.
Even though Tu Hao reacted very quickly, he still suffered the consequences and was sent flying along with the broken tree trunk.
He instinctively protected his vital organs, rolled twice on the ground to dissipate the force, and then looked up at the cave.
"Ok?"
Miao Yin gripped the railing, leaning slightly forward.
Several gray-white human heads emerged from the dark cave.
As the figures slowly came into view, the necks of strangely long birds were clearly visible beneath the heads, with black and white feathers enveloping the bodies and concealing the layers of blood beneath.
The creature had a deformed bird-like beak on its head, with pitch-black eyes. Its sharp claws were embedded in the rock wall. Nine heads bobbed up and down, their eerie gazes fixed on them from above.
This breath...
Pink crystal core?
—No, it's not that high.
Nine heads were now fully protruding from the cave, their damp and resentful gazes crossing the grass to meet Miao Yin's eyes.
—This is a mutant human who is about to break through the pink crystal core.
