“Third Lord, this territory belongs to the Kui tribe. Their queen, Viola, is said to be a good-looking woman.”
“Oh? Is that so?”
“In that case, I’ll have a good time today, hehe.”
Outside the Kui tribe’s territory, Dark Leopard and his close subordinate, who had come from Dark City, looked at the area with excitement on their faces. Dark Leopard had come out this time to gather information about the current strength of the Zerg and the Kui tribe, as well as to see who the human newcomer in the wasteland was.
More importantly, he wanted to relax a bit. As a human who had been in the wasteland since the beginning, he hadn’t seen a woman for a long time. In Dark City, the creatures were mainly undead monsters that they had tamed and used for defense and heavy labor. There were no women at all.
For Dark Dragon and Dark Tiger, who were older, this situation was bearable, but for the youthful Dark Leopard, it was quite torturous. He had set his eyes on Viola, the queen of the Kui tribe, early on.
Information brought back by spies had revealed that Viola was beautiful. Despite being from the Kui tribe, she didn’t lag behind human women in terms of figure or appearance. This made Dark Leopard quite eager, wishing he could immediately go out and have some fun with this exotic beauty. 𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈
However, strict orders had been issued by his older brothers. No one was allowed to leave the city without their permission. So, Dark Leopard could only fantasize about Viola’s appearance every day, hoping to enjoy romantic escapades with her in his dreams. It was only through David’s appearance that he finally obtained an opportunity to leave the city.
This had kept him excited and anticipating throughout the journey. Thinking about the beauty he would soon have in his hands, Dark Leopard couldn’t help but rub his hands together in excitement. Just then, he felt a strong aura of malevolence emanating from a nearby large forest.
“An exotic beast?” Dark Leopard was momentarily stunned, immediately recognizing the aura as that of an exotic beast. However, what surprised him was the intensity of the aura; it was so strong that it seemed to reach the sky.
Realizing that the opponent wasn’t just an ordinary exotic beast, Dark Leopard thought it might even be a super exotic beast. After a moment’s contemplation, he decided that it was worth investigating. Sometimes, the true strength of certain exotic beasts could signify changes in the balance of power between the other two forces in the wasteland. Killing this exotic beast might even provide an opportunity for him to enhance his own strength.
“Let’s go. We’ll enter this forest and see what’s going on. If there’s a chance, I’ll bring back the body of this super exotic beast. Who knows, once Big Brother is happy, he might allow me to leave the city more freely, and then I can spend time with Viola every day.” Dark Leopard said and flew towards the forest, with his close subordinate following closely.
Before long, the two of them arrived under a large tree.
“Third Lord, the smell here is incredibly strong! It’s as if a battle just took place.” His subordinate covered his nose and said, overwhelmed by the heavy scent of blood in the forest.
Dark Leopard also noticed the scent and saw several exotic beast corpses on the ground. While gruesome, he had witnessed such scenes many times before and paid them no mind.
“Just a few dead exotic beasts. Let’s keep moving forward.” Glancing at the corpses, Dark Leopard continued walking forward. To avoid alerting potential threats, he chose to walk and used the dense foliage to conceal his movements.
On the other side, David, accompanied by Viola and Mandy, slowly reached the center of the forest. It was the place where he had battled the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger yesterday. The bodies of the Seven-Poison Python and the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger were nowhere to be seen; only two massive skeletons remained, indicating that they had been devoured by other exotic beasts.
“The scent here is getting stronger. They should be up ahead,” Viola said as she pulled out a folding fan from somewhere and looked towards the dense undergrowth. David nodded and continued moving forward.
Viola quickly followed David’s pace. With her current strength, she could only handle relatively weaker exotic beasts like the Seven-Poison Python. If they encountered one of the four super exotic beasts, she wouldn’t stand a chance. Thus, she needed to stick close to David for safety.
Just as they had walked a few dozen meters and passed through the dense trees, a vast open area suddenly appeared before them. The open ground was covered with large and small boulders, and a few giant trees that had withered and fallen to the ground were now starting to decay. The strong malevolent aura they had sensed earlier seemed to be emanating from this open space.
David narrowed his eyes, carefully examining every corner of the area. However, wherever his gaze landed, it was mostly rocks and decayed wood, with no signs of movement.
“Strange, why is there nothing here?” Viola also noticed the abnormality and muttered. Just then, an extremely faint sound came from under a decaying tree trunk with a diameter of about two meters.
The sound was fleeting, but David still caught it. He raised his hand, and his Decay Ability instantly launched towards the decaying wood.
Instantly, the sturdy tree trunk was corroded clean by David’s power. What was behind the trunk gradually revealed itself.
It was a spider about the size of a grindstone. Its entire body was pitch-black, and it had eight thick and powerful legs on each side of its body. The middle of its body emitted a faint light, and its small head had four bulb-like eyes. Its partially open mouth revealed rows of densely packed teeth.
Upon being discovered by David, the spider quickly crawled onto a large rock and stared at them with a face full of anger, as if David had interrupted its feast.
At this moment, David also noticed that the spider had just been devouring a mutated gray wolf and was interrupted by him. Viola was the first to recognize this spider.
“The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider! Ranked fourth among the Forest of Beasts’ Five Super Exotic Beasts, with strength twice that of the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger!” Viola involuntarily took two steps back, seemingly intimidated by the aura emanating from the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider.
Meanwhile, David observed the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider with a slightly disappointed expression. He had thought that he would be able to face the remaining four super exotic beasts this time, but besides this spider, there were no other exotic beasts nearby.
“Just one of them is simply not enough to be a challenge,” David shook his head.
This remark pushed Viola over the edge. She widened her eyes in shock, looking at David as if suspecting whether those words had really come from his mouth. A super exotic beast ranked fourth in the Forest of Beasts wasn’t enough for him to handle? This was a super exotic beast! It was more than capable of annihilating all ordinary undead monsters. How could it become insignificant in David’s eyes?
Viola was increasingly intrigued by David’s mysterious nature and began to wonder about the strength he was hiding.
