Pretending To Be A Boss

The entire Red Clay Forest wasn't all that vast a battlefield for Akasi.

In an extremely short period of time, he had moved from the outskirts of the Red Clay Forest into its heart.

At the edge of his vision, there was a hazy red light.

These lights merged into one, dense and numerous, like underground roots entwining.

Outside the red glow, he saw two figures from afar.

Along the way, Akasi had found many hunters' corpses.

He watched ahead cautiously, a familiar yet repulsive scent wafting through the air.

In a few bounds, Akasi had arrived before the two figures.

"Although we're not from the same group, I've heard Black Snake mention early on that you from the second fortress, as well as number nineteen from the second fortress, are the experimental subjects the organization has valued most in recent years,"

s004 spoke without a trace of emotion, as if mechanically reading off a piece of text.

"But as far as I know, despite your rapid growth, you haven't reached the standard of the number one and two experimental subjects, and numbers one and two, if placed in our group, would probably be at the bottom of the s-series."

s004 raised his gun, thinking that bullets seeking to kill an existence like Akasi, in the eyes of the people in the Evolution Zone, was extremely laughable.

But s004 was an exception.

His ability was simple. The acceleration of small objects.

No one could dodge his bullets.

And those tiny bullets, upon gaining incredible propulsion speed, also multiplied their power countless times.

Akasi didn't speak.

He didn't recognize these two people, but he could determine they were from the Evolution Zone.

Their strength was of a monstrous level, even stronger than that of number one and two.

Meanwhile, water droplets on the branches behind Akasi had already turned into ice.

...

...

The Tree Sea. The heavy rain gradually ceased, leaving the air extremely fresh and invigorating after the rain.

Tang Xian had no mood to enjoy it.

Although the strongest tremor was felt in the Red Clay Forest, he, who was at the edge of the Tree Sea, could also faintly sense it.

A feeling of unease surfaced in his mind.

Tang Xian thought of the Zudun Giant.

Then, he easily associated it with the true situation of the beast migration.

Beasts in front, the giant behind.

Tang Xian had a sudden realization that he had missed such a key piece of information, misled by the migration theory previously mentioned by scholars.

"It's almost as if the giant is driving the beasts towards a certain place,"

Once his thoughts started in that direction, Tang Xian found that many points that had previously been unclear now suddenly made sense.

"The Red Clay Forest has the finest soil in the entire mining area, this red clay can cause plants to grow wildly. If the Zudun Giant is driving the beasts here… could it be..."

The answer flashed through Tang Xian's mind, and for the first time, he showed a hint of panic.

"Damn! A world-class boss creature has appeared in the Red Clay Forest!"

From the recent earthquake, Tang Xian quickly reasoned out the truth of the matter, thinking back to the beast migration days ago.

Tang Xian, who originally had no intention of joining the hunting festival, realized he must make a trip to the Red Clay Forest.

Without delay, Tang Xian began to check the items in his tool bag.

A raincoat, a mask, a kitchen knife, Redline Grass Spray, Anai Extract. After ensuring these items were all in place, Tang Xian looked over at Tang Xiaojiu.

Tang Xiaojiu had already fallen asleep.

This little girl was a future cataclysmic level boss, and even now her strength was only second to that of a world-class creature.

But what was about to happen was too dangerous, and Tang Xian was unsure whether to bring Tang Xiaojiu along.

At that moment, Tang Suoye woke up.

The girl who had been in a coma for almost half a month suddenly opened her eyes.

"You're awake?"

The purity of the Eden's Eye in her right eye, deep like the ocean, made Tang Xian feel momentarily disoriented. The pupil resembled a deep-colored sapphire.

Tang Xian noticed that some of the small objects around were trembling unconsciously.

Tang Suoye looked at Tang Xian, her gaze somewhat vacant.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.
