In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight spilled onto the earth.
Xu Zhou opened his eyes and instantly got up from the ground.
The day has broken.
He had to leave!
The night had been incredibly restful, with no mutant beasts appearing within a five-kilometer radius centered around the cave.
But precisely because of this, Xu Zhou became increasingly suspicious that this cave was the territory of some powerful mutant beast.
"Time to go," Xu Zhou mused to himself, he couldn’t stay any longer.
He felt that the powerful mutant beast would return at any moment!
Currently, he couldn’t even handle a Rank 2 mutant beast. If a Rank 3 or higher appeared, it would be a dead end for sure.
"Hoo!"
The Saber-toothed Dragon Beast returned to the Personal Space.
Xu Zhou picked up the Tang Dao and turned to leave the cave.
"Hmm?"
Just as he turned around, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of a grassy pit deep within the cave.
In the pit, lay more than a dozen large stones.
No...to be precise, they seemed to be giant eggs laid by some mutant beast, completely white with certain patterns on the eggshell surface.
"This is..."
Xu Zhou’s eyes widened in surprise: "Mutant beast eggs?"
He was stunned.
Mutant beast eggs were incredibly valuable!
Even a single egg laid by a Rank 1 mutant beast holds substantial value, selling for tens of thousands.
Because once the mutant beast egg hatches, humans can easily domesticate the newborn mutant beast.
The higher the rank of the mutant beast egg, the higher the growth potential of the resulting mutant beast.
If a Rank 3 or higher mutant beast egg is found, it could possibly sell for hundreds of thousands!
Xu Zhou approached the grassy pit, and a lavender-like fragrance wafted by.
Instantly, Xu Zhou’s eyes sparkled.
No wonder there was a distinct aroma last night; it turns out the source was here.
"Mutant beast eggs that emit a peculiar fragrance?" Xu Zhou speculated, "The rank could be very high?"
The higher the rank of a mutant beast egg, the stronger the mutant beast it nurtures.
Thus, the egg liquid inside the egg shells has higher nutritional value and emits a unique smell.
"This truly is the lair of a powerful mutant beast!"
Xu Zhou felt a chill in his heart, estimating it could likely exceed Rank 3!
He had slept overnight in such a dangerous place.
Thinking about it made him a little scared.
"So many high-ranking mutant beast eggs..." Xu Zhou couldn’t help but lick his lips.
Should he take them?
He hesitated; some high-ranking mutant beasts have a keen sense of smell and might track him through the scent of the eggs.
Soon, Xu Zhou gritted his teeth.
He had a Personal Space; what was there to fear?
Besides, fortune favors the bold.
These mutant beast eggs were true treasures, worth dozens of times more than a beast heart; it wasn’t in his nature to pass up on such benefits!
With that, Xu Zhou summoned the Saber-toothed Dragon Beast again without saying a word.
He bent down and carefully picked up the mutant beast eggs, placing them on the Saber-toothed Dragon Beast.
Quickly, the dozen or so mutant beast eggs in the grassy pit were swept clean.
"Hoo!"
The Saber-toothed Dragon Beast, carrying the eggs, instantly returned to the Personal Space.
With the Personal Space blocking the scent, even high-ranking mutant beasts would have a hard time tracking Xu Zhou.
"I’m rich now," Xu Zhou thought with joy.
Over a dozen high-ranking mutant beast eggs were incredibly valuable!
They might sell for over a million!
Then, not daring to linger any longer, Xu Zhou held his Tang Dao and sprinted out of the cave.
"Swish!"
He turned into a blur, quickly disappearing from the area.
...
Not long after Xu Zhou left.
"Rumble!"
The ground suddenly shook violently.
A group of mutant beasts resembling crocodiles, moving in herds, was crawling toward the cave.
They appeared crocodilian but were enormous, with the smallest being over three meters long.
Leading them was a dark green mutant crocodile beast, akin to a small hill, over twenty meters in length, terrifyingly large.
It walked in front, seemingly in a leader’s role. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Its left hind limb was blood-soaked, seemingly chopped off by a blade, the injury quite serious.
Yet, the Croc Beast Leader showed no weakness.
On the contrary, it held its head high and proudly as if having won a battle, clutching a human limb in its mouth, with blood dripping down.
"Uhh~"
The person in its mouth was not dead, being bitten now and then, making horrific screams.
The Croc Beast Leader seemed to enjoy the sound, a menacing grin curling its mouth.
Humans? There’s nothing more entertaining than torturing them!
It led the Alligator Beast Clan, slowly crawling towards its lair.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, it paused, as if sensing something.
Its two emerald green pupils narrowed sharply.
Next, it leapt into the air, a massive twenty-meter-long beast body, blocking out the sky, charged toward the cave.
