At this moment, Viola was waiting outside the base for David’s arrival. After spending a day with this human, Viola was surprised to find that her heart couldn’t calm down.
Throughout the previous night, David’s figure kept appearing in Viola’s mind, much to her astonishment. This was noteworthy because Viola, as the Queen of the Kui tribe, was highly discerning. In her eyes, mere humans hardly warranted her attention. Before encountering David, her intention was to teach him a lesson, and if necessary, turn him into a corpse in the wasteland.
However, Viola hadn’t anticipated being so captivated by David that she found herself eagerly awaiting his appearance early in the morning. This sensation left her perplexed.
“Could it be because of that Dongpo Pork?” Viola mumbled in confusion to herself. Yet, she felt that David’s handsome and upright figure was more attractive to her than the melt-in-the-mouth braised pork.
“Just in the early morning, are you waiting for me?” Just as Viola was lost in thought, David’s magnetic voice sounded in her ears.
Viola was momentarily stunned, quickly lifting her head to see David looking at her with a faint smile. This caused her face to flush crimson in an instant.
“I… I just came out for a walk.” After pondering for a while, Viola managed to come up with such a lame excuse. She then began pacing back and forth in an attempt to conceal her embarrassment. Observing her unusual behavior, David merely smiled.
“Today, let’s continue our journey to the Beast Forest.” David directly stated his goal for the day. He had been longing for the remaining four powerful exotic beasts there.
If it weren’t for the fact that he thought time was on his side, he would have eagerly rushed into the Beast Forest to engage in a fierce battle with those exotic beasts.
Upon hearing that David intended to visit the Beast Forest again, Viola immediately furrowed her brows. She had planned to take David to another location where zombie creatures were known to appear frequently today, but he had immediately set his sights on the Beast Forest.
The Beast Forest had now become even more dangerous than any other area. It was undoubtedly filled with slaughter. Those four exotic beasts had detected the scent of danger following the death of the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger. They must have grown restless and were now on constant standby for battle. The situation had drastically changed from yesterday.
While she acknowledged David’s abilities to a certain extent, those four super-exotic beasts were the stuff of nightmares even for their Kui tribe. How could a single human like David venture forth?
Viola thought David was getting a bit too full of himself, so she said with a serious expression, “The Beast Forest is too dangerous now. The four exotic beasts have most likely gone into a frenzy. The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider, Frosty Thousand-Tusked Elephant, Five-Element Divine Turtle, and Inferno Centipede are the other four exotic beasts remaining in the Beast Forest. Their strength is much greater than that of the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger. If you still want to go, you might end up dead in the forest.”
Viola wasn’t exaggerating. The Beast Forest had descended into chaos overnight. As soon as those four exotic beasts saw the corpse of the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger, they sensed an inexplicable danger approaching them. It had ignited their wild instincts, prompting them to begin a frenzied massacre of other exotic beasts in the forest. This frenzy even extended to the areas surrounding the Beast Forest.
As a result of this massacre, their strengths further amplified, faintly exuding a presence comparable to the Zerg. The top-ranked Inferno Centipede was particularly overbearing. As the only attribute shared with the Zerg, it had undergone an unbelievable three mutations. Presently, in terms of strength, speed, size, and overall prowess, it surpassed all other exotic beasts. Even the combined strength of the other three super-exotic beasts couldn’t match up to it.
Having survived in the wasteland for so long and familiar with the behaviors of these exotic beasts, Viola naturally understood these dynamics. She didn’t want David to walk into his own death.
“Today, I’ll take you to another place. Although the strength of the zombie creatures there isn’t comparable to those four exotic beasts, they’re still formidable opponents in the wasteland.” After saying this, Viola lifted her head to look at David. .𝙘𝒐𝒎
Hearing her suggestion, David nodded slightly, which let Viola heave a sigh of relief. She believed that she had managed to avert a crisis. Not only did she not want David to go to the Beast Forest, but she also didn’t want to go there herself. Little did she know that David’s next words would make her realize she had been too hasty in her relief.
David nodded and then shook his head, speaking, “If those four guys were to appear together, what are my chances of winning?”Afterwards, he wore a contemplative expression, as if analyzing the strengths of those four exotic beasts.
Viola’s mouth twitched in disbelief as she looked at David. At this moment, she felt that the person before her wasn’t a human, but a mad adventurer! Just the presence of a single exotic beast left everyone in fear, yet he was contemplating methods to deal with all four of them simultaneously? Who would believe such a thing if it were spoken aloud?
“If that’s the case, then I’ll have to kill them . Looks like I’ll need to eat another Gene Fruit.” David seemed to have found his answer and casually took out a Gene Fruit from the system’s storage, eating it right in front of Viola.
Viola stood there in a state of confusion, unsure of what to say. She knew that whatever she said, it wouldn’t change David’s actions. Thus, she could only sigh helplessly. At the same time, she closely scrutinized David’s aura and discovered that beneath his robust physique, a simmering energy was constantly circulating.
Despite this, Viola couldn’t guarantee that David could certainly defeat the other four exotic beasts. Nonetheless, David turned and headed towards the Beast Forest with Mandy.
“I suggest you keep up. Otherwise, your base won’t reach its peak potential even after a hundred years. The Dongpo Pork you had last night might be your last.” Viola, who had initially considered sneaking back to her base, swiftly followed David upon hearing his words.
Viola believed the base could be built gradually. However, Dongpo Pork was an essential necessity. In no time, the three of them had reached the edge of the Beast Forest. Upon their arrival, a strong scent of blood pervaded the air. Unidentifiable exotic beast corpses littered the ground. Their demises were gruesome; some had their heads half severed, exposing pale brain matter, while others were split in two with bones scattered all around.
Even Viola, who had grown accustomed to such scenes, felt nauseated. She covered her mouth, gazing at these exotic beast corpses. It appeared that last night had been a hellish ordeal for the ordinary exotic beasts. Stepping on these remains, David led the way in, followed by Mandy and Viola on either side.
The reason David brought Mandy was to help her quickly adapt to the slaughterous environment here, aiding her acclimation to the wasteland. Moreover, enhancing her combat skills through practical experience was also a good choice. The three of them continued further into the Beast Forest.
