Chapter 71: The Alien Beat Them to the Draw?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Of course, for Twin Dragon Mount, the first thing they needed to do was not to rest after the battle, but to head to the Souls’ settlement and obtain their “settlement core”!

This was because once it was daytime, the bottom of the cliff where the Souls were located would be filled with thick fog. It was even harder to see at night.

Furthermore, for the sake of safety reasons, it was better to obtain the Souls’ settlement core as soon as possible.

...

Huff... huff...

In the canyon, the cold mountain wind blew vigorously.

Using the moonlight that was comparable to a full moon’s, the group walked quickly.

“There are no abnormal creatures within a hundred meters ahead. The Souls came from this direction...”

Thanks to the “scouter” akin to the one from Dragon Ball, as well Li Qing formerly being a reconnaissance trooper, Twin Dragon Mount did not need to think of a way to descend the cliff. They could directly follow the Souls’ route of attack and trace them to the source.

Apart from Ji Ye, there were not many people in the entire team. As the environment of the Souls was different, the group consisted of Elite figures from the settlement.

Apart from Lu Zhishen, who stayed behind to guard the fort, Ninth Uncle, who had drunk the Stone Milk to recover some of his magical powers, Qin Yueyu, who had a talisman bow and arrows, as well as four Elite soldiers who had mastered Arhat Fist and were close to the Ordinary Rank-7 level.

“Nothing too abnormal has happened to the body. From the looks of it, there shouldn’t be any bacteria in the alien’s territory that are highly lethal to humans. There’s also nothing in the air that’s poisonous to humans.”

Qin Yueyu held the bow in her hand as she sniffed the air.

“Why would you have such weird thoughts?”

Ji Ye was slightly curious about her train of thought.

“It’s written in some web s. If I don’t point it out, the readers will think it’s not well-thought-out!” Qin Yueyu said.

“Web ? What’s that?”

Ninth Uncle’s eyebrows twitched as he looked curious.

“Oh, in the future, let her recite it to you when she has the time... Ninth Uncle, you might be able to obtain some of your identity’s memories.”

Ji Ye smiled slightly.

There were many web s regarding Ninth Uncle. action

However, although they were joking along the way, they did not really relax.

Even so, they did not encounter any attacks from non-Earthlings along the way.

It was obvious that the Souls had really gone all out in the battle just now. As for the monsters in their territory, they had already eliminated them.

“Something’s happening up ahead!”

When they reached the bottom of the canyon, Li Qing, who was wearing the scouter, gestured to everyone.

“There’s a biological signal up ahead. We can’t determine its level because I don’t have line of sight!”

The detection range of the scouter was limited. It was only about a hundred meters or so, but the effect was very powerful. Even some hidden creatures could be discovered.

However, because there were large numbers of black, leafless trees with tree branches that looked like human fingers, they could not directly reach the creature that was detected.

“Alright!”

Stop for a moment. I’ll investigate.

Ji Ye nodded.

However, the next person stood still.

This was because a black Soul Wolf that was about the size of a puppy formed by soul power had already leaped out of his arms. Then, it opened its ruby-like eyes and silently probed ahead.

The Soul Alpha Wolf was indeed a treasure for extraordinary domains. It could be used to strengthen, battle, and scout the way.

The only flaw was that Ji Ye needed to control the Soul Alpha Wolf’s movements with his consciousness before his divine sense was powerful enough to be “divided”.

It was probably difficult to control the wolf soul while fighting with all his might.

Oh? This is...

However, Ji Ye’s expression changed a few seconds later.

“Something’s not right. Follow behind me. Remember to hide and prepare for battle!”

Then, his expression suddenly turned serious as he turned around and said to the surrounding people.

“Yes!”

Several Elite soldiers answered in suppressed voices.

After the past few days of training and fighting with the Souls, they already had the bearings of elite soldiers!

“Oh, sounds of battle?”

After the group followed Ji Ye and sneaked into the forest in a more concealed manner,

they instantly heard some sounds as though there were creatures fighting.

As the mountain wind in the canyon was too strong, and they were against the wind, they did not hear the sounds previously.

“This is...”

When they reached the center of the strange black forest, the group of human elites finally saw the situation clearly.

The first thing they saw was an open space about a hundred feet in diameter. In the middle was a strange “tree” that was about seven to eight meters tall and had a thick bottom. It seemed to be formed from many dark-red vines that were as thick as an arm!

[Centenarian Bloodsoul Vine Tree]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-3]

[Quasi-Commander]

[Description: A special creature that has a symbiotic relationship with the Soul race. Its body contains the Soul race’s settlement core. It is also the most powerful defensive measure of the Soul race’s settlement!]

Perhaps because it was the core of the settlement, everyone sensed the attributes of this creature.

Above the Centenarian Bloodsoul Vine Tree was a large area of green light that resembled the Souls’ main bodies. Beneath in the empty clearing, seven to eight strange creatures could be seen.

It was a brown soft creature that looked like mud that had splattered across the ground.

At that moment, these strange “mud” creatures were wrapping the sand, rocks, and roots around them with their squirming bodies.

Then, like a “trebuchet”, they shot towards the Bloodsoul Vine Tree in the middle of the clearing.

The Bloodsoul Vine Tree in the middle waved its tentacle-like vines, constantly attacking the “mud” creatures.

On two of the vines, there were even two brown jellyfish-like shells that looked dehydrated.

However, it was obvious that these mud creatures had a certain level of intelligence. Using the lives of two of their companions, they determined the attacking range of the Bloodsoul Vine. Then, they chose to stand a distance apart, preventing the flailing vines from attacking them. It was also difficult for it to block their bodies—”cannonballs” that were thrown out!

“It’s a type of alien called the Sludge Monster. The levels on the field range from Rank-6 to Rank-7. Their bodies don’t seem to have a soul!”

Li Qing quickly explained the creatures and information to the group hiding behind a black rock in the forest.

“Sludge Monster? That’s a cute name...”

Qin Yueyu blinked.

“Ahem, don’t talk too much. Get ready and attack according to the situation!”

Ji Ye coughed and said solemnly.

He had just forgotten that the names of the aliens were named by the first human that saw them. He should have thought about it and came up with a domineering name that was similar to the Soul race...

No one had expected to encounter a third species here.

Furthermore, this alien race was clearly trying to take advantage of the war between the humans and the Souls!

This was probably an alien race that also lived in the fog canyon. It was very likely that they had secretly paid attention to the Soul race. After they discovered that the Soul race was attacking the human race, they sent a team to secretly sneak into the Soul race’s lair.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Souls’ settlement possessing a certain level of defensive capabilities, it was very likely that these mud-transforming aliens would have already succeeded.

Thankfully, Ji Ye had made the decision immediately after his victory. Otherwise, if the Sludge Monsters had snatched away the most important settlement core, Twin Dragon Mount would definitely have regretted sitting on its laurels!
