“It’s possible,” Rafe said, breaking the silence. “The Starvein Blueberry Tree camonly grow in an environment saturated with ultra-pure crystal energy.

“If those two shadow mutated alien beasts discovered the blueberry tree, they’d definitely had! every crystal ore in the area to its roots, both to help the tree thrive and to strengthen their own stash.

“The ore we dug up? That was the original crystal vein of this place.”

“So it was all for nothing.” Lioren said, his tone calm, just stating the facts.

“Not really.” Dora shook her head. “We got the blueberry tree, wetland seed stock, that mutated duckling, plus a bunch of crystal cores and materials.

“This haul was way more than we ever expected.”

She paused, taking in the dimming sky and the vague outlines of mutated alien beasts moving through the distant woods.

“But these mutated alien beasts are popping up everywhere,” Dora said.

“I say we pull out of the training zone ahead of

Elmer hesitated. “But Dora, what about the

ssion…”

“We’ve scored more than we hoped for,” Dora said. “The Starvein Blueberry Tree, crystal ore, those plants that can handle the wet season, and everyone’s gotten stronger.”

She turned to face the group, her eyes bright. “That’s plenty. Let’s head back.”

“Forget the mission,” Dora said calmly. “Your safety comes first.”

The four males all turned to her.

Clive’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t say a word, just gave a slight nod.

Rafe’s smile grew a little wider.

Lioren’s tail instinctively wrapped around Dora’s wrist.

Elmer… Elmer rubbed his eyes hard, claiming sand had gotten in them.

No one objected.

In truth, everyone was completely exhausted.

Days of relentless battles, constant alertness, and repeatedly draining and replenishing their crystal energy had worn them down.

Even with Dora’s Spatial Realm food sustaining them, their bodies and minds were pushed to the limit.

“Let’s stay here for one more night, then head out before sunrise tomorrow. We should reach the exit before it gets dark,”

Clive said.

He spread out the map, his long fingers tracing the route.

I had back, sticking to the path along the edge of the wetlands. We know that area well, and the Advanced mutated alten bears writes are pretty clear over there”

Alright: Dora nodded,

chove out right how and find a good spot to set up camp?

The team changed direction

They had entered this place full of hope, but now they were heading back along a path that felt all too familiar.

Whether it was exhaustion or a sense of foreboding, everyone walked in silence, the only sounds were the occasional started night bird and the distant, restless bowls of mutated alien beasts,

As the outline of the reed beds appeared again in the moonlight, Dora got this weird feeling. Ike she was almost home.

At their current pace, they’d have to camp out one more night, and probably reach the exit just before nightfall tomorrow.

“Let’s find a good spot to set up camp, Clive said, leading the way. “Somewhere hidden, easy to defend, hard to attack

Dusk always settled quickly in the rainforest.

As the last bit of daylight was swallowed up by the dense canopy, they found themselves near the reed beds they’d visited yesterday.

Suddenly, chaos erupted.

On the left, the thick forest exploded with the sound of trees snapping like matchsticks; on the right, the swamp surged, sending filthy waves of mud crashing everywhere.

Two terrifying waves of pressure crashed down, so intense it felt like the air itself was being crushed.

“Level 7!” Rafe blurted out, his eyes narrowing in shock. “Two of them!”

Everyone was caught off guard.

Two massive, hill-sized shadows erupted from the depths of the reeds, one on each side, cutting off every possible escape

route.

On the left, a jet-black mutated panther burst forth, its fur flowing like liquid night, eyes glowing with an eerie crimson light. It stood over ten feet tall at the shoulder, and every step splintered the earth beneath its paws.

From the swamp on the right rose a colossal two-headed python, each head as thick as a barrel, its dull gold scales glinting

ľ in the gloom. Its forked tongues flickered as it spewed clouds of corrosive venom into the air.

But what was even scarier was what followed behind them.

At least twenty Level 5 and 6 mutated alien beasts poured out like a tidal wave, but unlike the usual mutated alien beasts, they didn’t go berserk.

Instead, they moved in a creepy formation, almost like a squad of trained soldiers.

The Level 7 mutated alien beasts didn’t attack right away.

The panther and the two-headed python loomed behind the beast horde, their crimson and golden slit eyes fixing a cold gaze on the five-person team, like emperors surveying mere insects.

“They’re… watching us,” Elmer stammered, his voice trembling. “Level 7 mutated alien beasts aren’t just smart, they’ve

comme ruly intelligent. They’re analyzing our fighting style!”

Clive gritted his teeth. “No matter what, we have to fight our way out. Protéer Dora at all costs!”

The python’s low, rumbling rear shook the air, while the panther’s glowing green eyes fixed hungrily on its prey.

The two Level 7 mutated alien beasts didn’t attack right away. Instead, they stood like generals surveying a trapped enemy squad, slowly and deliberately assessing the surrounded human team.

“It’s over,” Rafe said, for once sounding genuinely defeated, something one almost never heard from him.

Even if he unleashed his Level 7 supernatural abilities with Clive, Lioren, and Eliner fighting alongside him, there was no way they’d survive against two Level 7 mutated alien beasts and a swarm of Advanced ones.

Let alone having to protect Dora on top of all that.

Clive gripped his lightning spear, Lioren was primed to unleash his wind blades, and Elmer pushed his golden shield to its

limit.

Rafe unleashed his full Level 7 power, dropping all pretense.

But everyone knew, they were just fighting like trapped animals, desperate but doomed.

Suddenly, the python lifted its heads high, and the Level 5 and 6 mutated alien beasts behind it surged forward in staggered waves, as if obeying a precise military order.

This wasn’t some wild, chaotic brawl, it was a disciplined, phased assault, each group moving with purpose and coordination.

Clive charged straight at the first three Level 6 mutated alien beasts, unleashing a web of lightning that exploded across the battlefield. “Dora, get back!” he shouted.

Lioren turned into a silver blur, his wind blades carving a bloody path through the horde, but the gap was instantly filled by the next wave of beasts.

Elmer’s golden shield was battered relentlessly, cracks spreading across its surface.

Rafe’s ice spikes struck with deadly precision, but the mutated alien beasts just kept coming, endless and relentless.

Dora stood at the very back, dumping out every crystal energy snack she had.

Chocolate, energy candies, spirit water, candied fruit…

She shoved snacks at her teammates as they cycled back for a quick boost, but with every round, her heart felt heavier and heavier.

“This still isn’t enough,’ Dora thought.

“There are just too many of them.
