“Since we’ve already chosen this path, let’s continue walking. If we leave now, won’t we have traveled so far for nothing?”
Zhou Hao’s tone was firm as he swept his gaze over everyone. Then, he lowered his voice and said vigilantly to everyone, “Everyone, be careful. Keep an eye on the surrounding situation at all times to prevent any unnecessary chaos!”
“Sure.”
Seeing Zhou Hao’s determination, the few of them nodded solemnly and agreed. Then, they continued to walk forward.
There was a thin thick fog around him. Zhou Hao took out his compass and continued to move forward.
The further they went, the stronger the magnetic field became.
Zhou Hao looked around vigilantly and immediately said slowly, “Everyone, remember not to come into direct contact with the mutated beasts.”
“Because we still don’t know how powerful these mutated beasts are or how many there are. We should first investigate the surrounding environment and confirm that the situation is in our favor before making plans!”
“Alright, no problem!”
The few of them nodded in agreement with Zhou Hao.
The group walked all the way and arrived at a flat path. In front of them was an endless wilderness. In the distance, there was a distant mountain that reached into the clouds.
Around the wilderness, there were countless cracks that stretched for miles. It looked very shocking.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
“Roar! Roar!”
There were also the roars of mutated beasts around them. Accompanied by the sound of wind, the roars sounded when the few of them heard this noise, they immediately tensed up and became vigilant.
“What is this sound? Could there be a mutated beast…”
The quasi Heaven Realm Wang Ziliang frowned and looked around nervously.
However, because the surrounding voices were continuous and transmitted from all directions, it was simply impossible for Wang Ziliang to figure out where the noises came from.
Wang Ziliang immediately gripped the quiver in his hand tightly and took out the bow and arrow he was carrying on his back with his left hand to prevent any mutated beasts from suddenly appearing around them and catching them off guard.
“This noise sounds especially chaotic. There should be mutated beasts in all directions, and there are many of them!”
Another quasi Heaven Realm member, Zhang Xiaoxue, also picked up the long whip at her waist and looked around vigilantly.
“Look at the spatial rift over there. Something seems to be squirming!”
Veteran subconsciously pulled out the plasma gun at his waist and looked into the distance vigilantly. Because it was a little far away, the group could not see clearly what was in the distance.
Zhou Hao quickly took out the binoculars hanging around his neck and looked at the spatial rift. His pupils immediately constricted in shock!
“The spatial rifts on the ground are filled with mutated beasts!”
Zhou Hao’s tone was especially solemn. After everyone heard this, they all raised the binoculars in their hands and looked over!
At the edge of the spatial rift, there were several mutated beasts with heads like ferocious tigers and bodies like giant elephants. Their long tails kept wagging behind them as they tried their best to climb out of the spatial rift!
Moreover, these were not the only ones. There were also countless densely-packed mutated beasts that had pretty much filled the entire spatial rift to the brim. They were stepping on the bodies of their companions and quickly trying to struggle free!
However, the spatial rift was too steep and their claws were not as sharp as cats. It was not easy for them to climb out.
From time to time, mutated beasts would fall down the spatial rift because they were exhausted, raising a large amount of flames!
Zhou Hao immediately climbed up a tall tree to see what was under the spatial rift.
Only then did he discover in surprise that there was still rolling smoke and steam coming from the spatial rift. He did not know what was in the depths of the spatial rift.
Previously, because of the thick fog, they could not see these mutated beasts clearly. However, now that the fog had dissipated, they suddenly saw such a terrifying scene!
Could these be the first batch of mutated beasts that had undergone a second mutation because of the change in Planet Earth’s magnetic field?
“Damn, it’s the mutated beasts that had gone through a second mutation!”
Zhou Hao’s expression was solemn. He put down the binoculars in his hand and looked at his team members. His tone was solemn as he said word by word, “At present, we still don’t know what kind of attack method the mutated beasts have!”
“Let’s not fight them head-on for the time being and continue exploring!”
Looking into the spatial rift, there were at least tens of thousands of mutated beasts that had gone through a second mutation!
No matter how powerful they were, it was still difficult for them to instantly kill so many mutated beasts when they were outnumbered.
In fact, if they fought here, it was very likely that their physical strength would be exhausted before they could kill these mutated beasts.
After all, they did not know how many mutated beasts were hidden in the spatial rift. For now, they could only temporarily avoid fighting them head-on!
“Yes!”
This was not the place with the strongest magnetic field fluctuations on Planet Earth and the fluctuations here were only at 20%. Despite this, such a change still occurred.
They did not know if there were any more secrets hidden in the depths!
Fortunately, these mutated beasts had not crawled out of the spatial rift yet, so they were not much of a threat.
Moreover, they were wearing specially-made armor that prevented mutated beasts from detecting their scent. Thus, the mutated beasts could not discover them.
Everyone’s minds quickly recovered. Everyone took a deep breath and held their combat weapons in their hands in case anything happened.
Everyone continued to walk forward and soon arrived in front of a large wilderness.
If they wanted to find a place with stronger magnetic field fluctuations, they had to pass through this wilderness and the distant mountains. In fact, the place with the strongest magnetic field fluctuations was behind those mountains!
Since they needed to pass through the wilderness, it also meant that they had to pass through this large spatial rift filled with mutated beasts!
There were not many spatial rifts for the time being. Although there were less than ten, they all stretched for several kilometers and pierced into the mountain range!
Zhou Hao’s expression was solemn as he immediately waved his hand and ordered, “Put on your flying devices. If necessary, we’ll fly directly over there. Try your best to avoid contact with them!”
Following Zhou Hao’s order, the six of them immediately tied the flying devices to their waists.
They did not want to fly and attract attention, so they chose to rely on external forces to minimize their movements to prevent the mutated beasts from discovering their whereabouts.
One end of the flying device could project a rope forward and insert it into the ground.
Then, with a press of the switch at their waists, the rope would quickly shrink. With this, they could sprint for a short distance.
