75: wack!

Ye Su was still eye-catching.

After all, he had too many titles to his name.

Whether among official Professionals or rogue Professionals, Ye Su had made a name for himself.

Later, some people deduced his profession based on his movements.

They came up with an astonishing theory:

Ye Su is very likely a special type of Professional, a Prophet!

Therefore,

Many times, it felt like Ye Su was involved in many major events and would gain benefits from them!

Thus,

When Ye Su moved, everyone followed.

The Shennong Forbidden Zone was indeed a forbidden zone; as time passed, its danger level rapidly increased.

King-level Lifeforms?

They had long been here!

To enter and explore at this time? Wasn't that seeking death?

But Ye Su was not someone who sought death.

His entry meant there were treasures inside, so a large number of Professionals followed behind, hoping to get a share of the spoils!

Of course, some Professionals were inadvertently licking their lips.

This place is so dangerous; Ye Su might get injured or die—at that time—is there any great elixir in the entire world more precious than Ye Su?

The Dragon Wolf still lingered at the edge of the Shennong Forbidden Zone.

It occasionally licked its wounds, but more often, it was searching for prey.

As a King-level Lifeform among mutated animals, it had already developed corresponding sentience, and under constant crisis, its sentience grew rapidly.

It was like humans learning from their mistakes.

The more setbacks it experienced, the smarter it naturally became.

The Tree Spirits (plant sentient beings are spirits) in the Shennong Forbidden Zone were not to be trifled with, especially the Willow Tree King; the Dragon Wolf had been ambushed by it several times.

Its extreme craving for the Dragon Wolf's flesh and blood, through repeated ambushes, made the Dragon Wolf keep its distance.

No one knew what was going on with the Willow Tree King; it had its own route of action in the Shennong Forbidden Zone and resolutely would not step into other areas, probably having suffered losses before.

Although the Dragon Wolf was safe by keeping its distance, it couldn't find much in the way of supplies.

It needed flesh and blood nourishment to recover from its injuries, return to its Peak, and then fight back to seize the kingship of these tens of thousands of mountains.

Flesh and blood, flesh and blood, it urgently needed flesh and blood!

As for leaving the Shennong Forbidden Zone to find flesh and blood supplies outside, the Dragon Wolf dared not.

It had gone out before.

But once it reached a certain range, iron lumps would fly down from the sky, landing on the ground with fire and noise, and at close range, one could feel a tearing vibration.

Therefore, the Dragon Wolf also dared not go outside.

Now, it was agitated.

Its sentience and instinct often clashed.

Charging into the mountains? It dared not!

That Mountain Lord was too powerful, suppressing it.

Charging out of the mountains? It was scared!

Iron lumps would fall from the sky, very frightening!

It was truly agitated.

However, this agitation quickly subsided.

It smelled something.

A scent of plump flesh and blood, even with a hint of fragrance.

These scents rapidly grew stronger today, as if a large amount of flesh and blood was converging here from all directions.

The Dragon Wolf had a vague feeling.

It seemed to have stumbled upon great luck.

Perhaps, soon, a large amount of flesh and blood would enter the mountains for it to feed upon!

Yes.

This vague feeling was not wrong.

It didn't just smell it; it saw them.

In the far distance, a place it dared not tread, strange two-legged creatures were approaching in groups.

Although these creatures were strange, and it even felt an implicit fear deep in its bones.

But the allure of flesh and blood was too tempting!

Eat!

If it ate ten... no... twenty, it would be confident in healing all its hidden injuries.

Then, if it ate dozens or hundreds more.

My heavens.

Perhaps it could even evolve again; at that time, even the Mountain Lord would not be its opponent.

The Dragon Wolf's mind became active.

It hid in the distant bushes, staring at those 'people'.

It entered hunting mode!

Ye Su led Mo Xiaoyu into the mountains.

Rain Water's message was not as precise as Beginning of Spring's.

It only said that a wounded Dragon Wolf was lurking at the edge of the Shennong Forbidden Zone, but its exact location needed to be found.

'How am I supposed to find it? Why me?'

Ye Su muttered in his heart.

But soon, he realized.

Why him?

Because of the large number of Professionals behind him.

Last time, the Willow Tree King showed great interest in his flesh and blood.

So...

Did the wounded Dragon Wolf also have this feeling?

Coupled with the currently popular great elixir theory.

Ye Su felt he had entered a strange loop.

Killing the Great Turtle brought fame.

Because of that fame, when he entered the Shennong Forbidden Zone, a large number of people followed him.

And this large number of people could lure out the wounded Dragon Wolf.

One link after another!

It was hard to say if this was his future control or an inevitable development under the crushing tide of events.

In short—this script was incredibly smooth!

Collecting his thoughts.

Ye Su began to pay attention to his surroundings.

The Dragon Wolf might be hiding in some corner; the mutation time for animals and plants was longer, so the Dragon Wolf might even have developed intelligence.

It certainly wouldn't just brazenly come out for a buffet!

It needed to be lured—Roar!

A low growl came from behind.

It was a sound of unrestrained desire and bloodlust from a human throat.

Ye Su immediately spun around, waved his large hand, and pulled Mo Xiaoyu behind him.

Then he stared at the path they had come from.

Suddenly.

He saw the grass leaves rustling nearby; some creature was rapidly approaching!

"Eat~! Eat you!"

Like a beast's roar.

A humanoid monster suddenly burst out of the bushes...

No, it wasn't a monster; it was a person!

However, this person was now extremely twisted.

His eyes burned with reddish-brown mist, black-yellow saliva uncontrollably drooled from his mouth, and his whole body was like a monkey strangely contaminated.

Mo Xiaoyu hid behind Ye Su in terror.

If it were other fish demons or other monsters, it would be fine.

But this person's mutated appearance was truly terrifying.

"Captain Ye... he!!"

Ye Su looked at the bizarre person and asked,

"How do you plan to eat?"

"Start by eating the hands!"

The madman roared, already in a frenzy like a wild beast, his hands hanging low, his body bent, head raised, circling Ye Su and saying,

"Little by little, I'll eat all of you!"

"Then I will become the strongest Professional in Great Xia!"

"I also want to wield fire, I also want a city, I want to be above others!"

"Haha... Hahahahaha—"

Ye Su's long saber swung out, cutting through the rain curtain.

"Outside, when they talk about eating people, is it possible that they mean extracting blood and essence?"

"Eating directly?"

"The species intervention mechanism that has evolved for tens of thousands of years, you can't resist it, you know."

"Haven't you heard? Eating people can lead to Prion Disease!"

The madman was stunned.

It was as if his brain had been hit by a heavy hammer, a dimensionality reduction attack!
