The mountain was deathly still, devoid of life. The temperature at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion could reach a hundred million degrees Celsius. No living creature could survive there.
Unfortunately, the Ash Wolf had avoided the epicenter.
Originally, this area was filled with towering ancient trees, but now, there was not even a speck of ash left. All of them had been melted away.
The group walked deeper into the mountain. Along the way, there was no sign of life. The lush forest had been completely destroyed.
The radiation was extremely powerful, and there was an oppressive feeling in this area. Although they could not see it, they could feel the countless rays interweaving.
If an ordinary person were to enter, they would die without a doubt.
Chu Feng, Chen Luoyan, and Ye Qingrou were all experts and could be considered at the peak of mutants. Even if they did not wear protective suits, they would still be able to survive.
But this land of death still made their hearts palpitate.
There was not a single beast in sight, and the vegetation had completely melted away. This was a land of extinction. What would happen to them if they were the ones targeted by nuclear weapons?
Even the beast kings were in such a miserable state, let alone ordinary mutants. They would be vaporized in a matter of seconds!
"Found it, it's here!" Suddenly, the clairvoyant Du Huaijin opened his mouth and ran forward.
What he meant by finding it was not the Ash Wolf King, but the crack in the ground. It was the hiding place where the Ash Wolf King had escaped the nuclear explosion.
The pitch-black crack led deep into the earth, allowing the Ash Wolf to escape death.
The clairvoyant's eyes shone with a golden light. At this time, he was very serious and no longer had a cheeky smile on his face. He was searching for traces of the Ash Wolf.
This was indeed the place. It matched the images captured by the detector. There were all sorts of traces left behind by the Ash Wolf.
"Someone has been here!"
Du Huaijin frowned because the dried blood had been taken away.
"Is there still any use for the blood that has fallen to the ground?" The clairaudient Ouyang Qing was puzzled.
"To the major powers, even if it's dead blood, it's still worth researching. After all, they have never obtained a sample of royal blood before," Chen Luoyan replied.
Up until now, only the country had obtained the corpse of the Ash Wolf. It was killed by an immortal crane from Mount Shu and was transported away by the military.
Several top-notch laboratories within the country were doing their best to analyze the blood. Rumor had it that royal blood was mysterious and had many uses.
Some people in the outside world speculated that this kind of blood could help the Beast King unlock a divine ability. In addition, it could also promote the evolution of living beings!
All the major corporations were tempted, and the foreign powers were incomparably envious. They wanted nothing more than to snatch it and bring it back for research.
"Different royal bloodlines have different effects," Ye Qingrou said.
They set off again to track the whereabouts of Cang Lang.
After advancing for a dozen miles, the clairvoyant Du Huaijin started to curse. Someone had done something to the road, erasing the traces left behind by the Ash Wolf.
"Damn it! Are they sure that they can deal with Lone Wolf?!" The clairaudient Ouyang Qing was furious.
If the Wolf King managed to catch a breather and recover in the end, it would be a great calamity.
Ye Qingrou's expression also changed as she said, "Those people are too independent. They want to stop the others and obtain the royal blood by themselves. If they succeed, then so be it. But if they fail, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
The Wolf King's recovery would be a great disaster!
"There will be more clues. It's impossible to cut them off completely!" Chu Feng said.
They advanced for a few more miles and began to search carefully.
Du Huaijin's expression was solemn. His eyes were like two resplendent golden lanterns, shooting out beams of light from time to time.
Half an hour later, he revealed a joyous expression and said, "Another discovery!"
The group followed him and rushed towards the soil and rocks hundreds of meters away. He picked up a strand of curled wolf fur with some scorch marks on it.
"You can even discover this?" Chu Feng was astonished. After activating his divine instinct, his eyes were not inferior to the clairvoyant's. However, such a fine capture was still lacking.
"This is my ability. I can focus on a certain object and brand it in my mind. My eyes can then sense all sorts of minute details within a certain range."
Du Huaijin's words shocked everyone.
Among them, Ye Qingrou's reaction was the greatest. She warned him not to use his special ability on her in the future or else she would beat him up every day.
Du Huaijin laughed dryly as his eyes flickered with golden light.
After a quarter of an hour, Du Huaijin made an astonishing discovery one kilometer away. He stared at a patch of floating soil and then squatted down to dig away the rocks.
A faint smell of blood wafted through the air. There were traces of dark red blood on the rocks there, long since dried up.
"Royal blood!" The group was shaken.
The Ash Wolf had stayed here before. Its intelligence was not inferior to that of humans. It had buried the traces it had left behind so that no one could track it.
"How much is it worth?" the clairaudient Ouyang Qing asked.
"Royal blood is priceless!" Ye Qingrou said. If it was sold to foreign countries, there would definitely be a bidding war. They would break their heads to obtain it.
Royal blood was too rare. Currently, no one outside of the country had obtained it.
Ouyang Qing was in charge of collecting the traces of blood on the rocks. He was very careful as if he was handling a rare treasure.
"There's more here!" The clairvoyant Du Huaijin found several places in succession. Evidently, the Ash Wolf had rested here. The places where it lay were all sticky with blood.
One could imagine how serious its injuries were. Its wounded body was constantly bleeding.
The group spread out to collect the wolf's blood.
"Just these can be sold for a sky-high price!" Ye Qingrou said with certainty.
Suddenly, Chu Feng's body tensed up. He jumped up and shouted, "Dodge!"
He felt danger and activated his divine instinct. At this moment, the back of his head was aching. According to his previous experience, someone was aiming at him with a firearm.
Chu Feng grabbed the clairvoyant Du Huaijin and threw him behind a boulder.
The group spread out in different directions. Chu Feng saved Du Huaijin, who was the closest to him.
Ye Qingrou and Chen Luoyan were very strong. They were ranked among the top 50 mutants in the country. They did not need Chu Feng's help and quickly dodged after hearing the warning.
The clairaudient Ouyang Qing's hair stood on end. Although he was trying to dodge, he did not manage to do so. With a puff, he was pierced by a bullet and a string of blood splattered.
Chu Feng rushed over with a violent gust of wind. His speed was so fast that it had reached the speed of sound.
He grabbed Ouyang Qing and led him to the back of the boulder, dodging the following bullets.
Ouyang Qing's left arm was pierced and fresh blood flowed. Fortunately, it was not a fatal injury.
His face was pale, but his large ears were trembling rapidly. He fiercely whispered, "East, a total of seven people!"
When he was in a rage, his hearing seemed to be even more acute. Due to the violent fluctuations in his emotions, the activation of his special ability became even more astonishing.
Chu Feng was surprised. At this moment, even he could roughly sense that there were six or seven people there. He did not expect the clairaudient's hearing to be so extraordinary.
"They have heavy firearms on them. 1500 meters to the east!" The clairvoyant hid behind the boulder and spied on the people there.
To be able to snipe from 1500 meters away, they were definitely sharpshooters and not ordinary people.
"This is too despicable. They have no grudges against us, yet they want to kill us!" Ouyang Qing was furious. He had almost died here.
"They found out that we were collecting the Ash Wolf's blood. Their eyes were red and they wanted to steal it!" Chen Luoyan said.
The few of them were furious. These people were too vicious and hateful. In order to steal their Ash Wolf's blood, they actually wanted to kill them.
Whoosh!
Chu Feng moved. Ignoring the fierce firepower, he sprinted forward, dodging the terrifying flames and rushing towards the short hill.
Ye Qingrou also followed, spreading her snow-white wings. She was like an angel soaring through the sky, beautiful and powerful, emitting a terrifying killing intent.
On the short hill, the few people's pupils constricted. They felt their hair stand on end. That person was actually able to dodge their bullets. He was simply not human.
Chu Feng was too fast. He could run more than 260 meters per second and had long since reached the speed of sound. His speed was as fast as lightning, leaving even Ye Qingrou, who could fly, in the dust.
With a swoosh, he rushed up the hill.
Bang!
Someone fired at him, but Chu Feng simply stretched out his hand and with a bang, caught the bullet in his palm. His body was unharmed.
"Ah …" the man screamed in terror.
Chu Feng attacked, breaking all of their bones and tendons. They spat out large mouthfuls of blood and fell down.
They were terrified, as if they had seen a ghost. How could a person be so fast? Moreover, he was not afraid of bullets!
With a swoosh, Ye Qingrou landed on the ground and retracted her wings.
Following that, Chen Luoyan also rushed up the hill and arrived.
"You're not afraid of bullets? You're invulnerable?" Ye Qingrou was shocked.
"Not bad." Chu Feng smiled.
Chen Luoyan was speechless. This was considered not bad? Even firearms were ineffective against him.
After a while, the clairvoyant and clairaudient arrived and rushed up the hill.
"Why are you guys attacking us? You're too vicious. Instead of killing the Ash Wolf, you're shooting at us from the shadows. Are you even human?!" Ouyang Qing roared in anger, clutching his arm.
The people on the ground were terrified. They knew that they had kicked an iron plate. These mutants were too powerful, they couldn't deal with them at all.
Chu Feng asked a few simple questions and found out the background of these people.
They were just a group of ordinary "hunters". They heard that the Ash Wolf was heavily injured but not dead, so they came here to get a share of the loot. Just now, when they were observing through their binoculars, they accidentally discovered that Chu Feng and the others had found the wolf's blood and wanted to kill them for it.
"These people are too vicious. Leaving them alive will only bring disaster. Let's kill them!" Chen Luoyan said.
He was very handsome and looked nothing like a fiend. However, when he attacked, he was ruthless and merciless.
"Pu pu pu …"
Chen Luoyan pulled out his long blade and beheaded them.
The victim, Ouyang Qing, hadn't even made a move yet, but these people were already dead.
They continued on their way, passing through the barren land. Finally, they saw trees. They discovered that they were all glowing, which was very strange.
"Divine trees?" Du Huaijin was dumbfounded.
In front of them, the tree trunks and leaves were all glowing. It was a very mysterious sight.
Ye Qingrou curled her lips and said, "Uncultured. This is because the radiation is too strong. They absorbed too much of it."
Especially in places with their backs to the sun, the trees glowed the brightest.
"So that's how it is. I thought we met a divine tree." Du Huaijin laughed.
They entered the forest and stepped into the desolate mountains. This meant that they would have to face all kinds of wild beasts and birds at any time.
For the next day or so, they were all on the trail. The clairvoyant was very useful. His eyes were like lightning and could always find some clues.
Along the way, they saw some human corpses. Some were the result of fighting each other, while others were torn apart by wild beasts.
"There are at least ten teams that have entered the depths of this primitive forest. They haven't found the Wolf King yet, but they are already fighting each other. Be careful," Chu Feng said.
"Eh, is this a foreigner?" Not long after, they found half a corpse in the forest. It was a Westerner with golden hair and blue eyes.
Following that, they found a few more people, all of them Western European race. Obviously, they were from the same team.
"This team is very powerful. They actually found the Ash Wolf King, but they were all killed." The clairvoyant said. He found the Wolf King's fur in the grass.
This meant that they were closing in on their target!
"How did the experts from Europe get here?" Chu Feng was bewildered. One had to know that the distance between the two places was too great. Even the air routes had been cut off.
Up until now, no safe route had been opened up.
However, there was a team of Western European people here. It was really strange.
As they moved forward, they found many more corpses. Most of them were humans of this land, but there were also Westerners.
"There are experts from the Pre-Qin Research Institute, people from the Tonggu Alliance, and people from the Extraterrestrial Civilization Research Institute …"
Along the way, they saw many dead mutants. There was no need to hide their identities for this mission. It was easy to find out their origins based on their belongings.
"The situation is not good. Most of these people died when they encountered the Wolf King!" the clairvoyant Du Huaijin said.
Suddenly, the clairaudient Ouyang Qing's face turned pale. He signaled him not to speak.
His big ears were moving as he listened carefully. When they reached the dense forest, his ability was much more useful than the clairvoyant's. He could hear sounds from far away.
Chu Feng was surprised. There were so many noises in the forest, including the cries of apes and the roars of tigers. Ouyang Qing's clairvoyant could distinguish them one by one.
He could also hear sounds from afar, but he could not distinguish them in such detail.
"We've most likely met it!" Ouyang Qing's big ears kept moving. His face turned pale as he said, "I can hear a special breathing sound. Although it's not loud, it exerts a terrifying pressure on me. I'm trembling."
He pointed to the depths of the forest. A terrifying monster was lying in ambush 1,600 meters to the south.
"You guys wait here, don't come over!" Chu Feng also sensed it. He disappeared as soon as he finished speaking. He held a long spear in his hand as he rushed out at top speed.
This spear was issued to him by the Hollow Jade Temple. It was made of rare metals and was extremely tough and sharp.
1,600 meters was covered in the blink of an eye!
Chu Feng knew that there was no other way. This beast king's divine instinct was too sharp.
Up ahead, the Ash Wolf had long since raised its head and gazed coldly in their direction.
Perhaps, it had discovered Chu Feng and the others a step earlier.
Boom!
Before Chu Feng even arrived, he had already launched a rocket launcher at it.
A huge explosion rang out in front of them. Flames soared to the sky as giant trees collapsed.
A terrifying aura pervaded the air. Even though the Ash Wolf had lost half of its body and was only left with one eye, its perception and speed were still frighteningly fast.
With a swoosh, it teleported tens of meters away and evaded the attack.
Chu Feng's eyelids twitched. This wolf had lost half of its body. How could it still be so fast?
"Aooo …" The Ash Wolf's howl shook the mountain forest. Many trees were broken and leaves were sent flying everywhere.
The Ash Wolf's head was as big as a house. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced forward with its broken body. It was incomparably ferocious, bringing with it a terrifying astral wind.
"Swoosh!"
