The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Mo Fang stood not far away.

He watched the shadow move swiftly across the monitor lizard's back.

Each swing of its claws leaves a trail of blood.

The monitor lizard writhed violently, crashing into and breaking more trees around it.

Mud splattered, and the stench of decay intensified.

Shadow moved with a light touch, like a ghost in the night.

It avoided every violent swipe of the monitor lizard's tail.

The sharp claws landed precisely on the monitor lizard's old wound.

Old wounds reopened, and new wounds continued to appear.

The monitor lizard's roar grew weaker and weaker, its body now covered in crisscrossing wounds, and green blood flowed all over the ground.

The surrounding mud was stained with an eerie color.

Mo Fang noticed the shadow's attack method.

It did not choose to kill with one blow; it was exhausting the monitor lizard's strength and toying with its prey.

This is the predator's instinct towards the weak, and also a form of self-discipline.

Holy crap, that positioning, that damage, that's pure art!

[Hey Mo Fang, hurry up and add some background music for the film, it'll really get the party started!]

Each of Shadow's attacks carried a sense of rhythm.

Gradually, the monitor lizard's movements became slower and slower, and its breathing became heavy.

Every struggle of the body seemed powerless.

With a flash, Shadow appeared above the giant lizard's head.

The purple pupils stared directly at the giant lizard's enormous vertical pupils.

The monitor lizard's body instantly stiffened.

It felt a pressure emanating from the depths of its soul.

An irresistible aura of death.

"ah--!!"

The shadow let out a low growl and its body suddenly pressed downwards.

The sharp claws tore a huge gash in the monitor lizard's head.

Black energy flowed into the giant lizard's body through the wound.

The monitor lizard's body began to convulse, and its scales quickly turned black and rotted.

Within seconds, his entire body turned into a pool of foul-smelling pus.

Only a dark green crystal core remained.

The shadow leaped away from the pus.

It shook its paws, and there wasn't a speck of dirt on it.

It walked gracefully back to Mo Fang's side.

She gently rubbed against Mo Fang's calf.

Mo Fang bent down.

He took out a cloth bag from his backpack and picked up the crystal core.

The crystal core felt cool to the touch and emitted a faint energy fluctuation.

He carefully put away the crystal core. Although he felt a little sorry for the giant lizard's flesh and blood body, he still rubbed Ying's head.

"Well done."

He praised the little guy without hesitation.

It's a pity about the monster's corpse.

However, it's still too young to understand the concept of source crystals, so we'll teach it gradually later.

Ying rubbed her little face against Mo Fang's palm, letting out a satisfied purring sound.

[So handsome! Absolutely so handsome!]

Isn't this more exciting than Boruto?

[Holy crap, he's dead just like that? Not even a complete body left?]

[This corrosive ability is too strong!]

If you're not going to eat it, don't bother! If you really don't like it, you can give it to me!

[As expected of a leader-level pet, it is terrifyingly powerful!]

Fighting an elite monster with 1200 combat power felt like stomping on a weakling.

Who was jealous? It was me.

Mo Fang glanced at the comments and continued forward with Ying.

......

the other side.

Within the territory of the Holy Elephant Kingdom.

As darkness fell, Chen Feng and his group found an abandoned building to rest.

The dilapidated walls could not stop the howling cold wind.

However, this slight chill was completely imperceptible to them, who had all completed the intermediate-level gene awakening.

Their physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, and they are not afraid of the cold wind at all.

Chen Feng leaned against the wall, checking the map on his phone.

Sun Miao walked over to Chen Feng and plopped down next to him.

"Captain, at our current speed, how much longer until we reach our destination?"

Sun Miao's voice carried a hint of fatigue, but more so a hidden excitement.

He'd soon find out what kind of monster had caused the anomaly; how could he not be excited?

Chen Feng spread two fingers to zoom in on the map on his phone, then pointed at the map.

"According to our information, this is where the bronze coffin landed."

His finger traced an arc on the map, marking their route.

"At our speed, we should arrive by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

Sun Miao frowned: "Why not travel through the night?"

He leaned forward, lowered his voice, and a smile played on his lips.

"Given the current special circumstances, it's not impossible for the brothers to stay up for a few nights."

"They are capable of enduring hardship; there's no need to treat them like human beings all the time."

Chen Feng looked Sun Miao up and down, realizing that people can actually smile when they're speechless.

The only ones who can sabotage you are your teammates.

However, Chen Feng still patiently explained.

"We encountered many people favored by the gods along the way."

"And the closer you get, the more divinely favored you become."

"Their abilities are incredibly diverse."

"Once we reach our destination, the number of those favored by the gods will likely be even greater."

Chen Feng's gaze swept over Sun Miao and landed on his teammates not far away.

A hint of weariness lingered on everyone's face beneath their relaxed expressions.

"Therefore, I must get plenty of rest tonight."

He stood up, put his phone away, and said, "Alright, you can go to sleep now."

Chen Feng's voice was steady and powerful: "Tonight, the three of us who follow the mental strength route will take turns keeping watch."

"Beware of being ambushed by those favored by the gods..."

Before Chen Feng could finish speaking, a figure walked in from the building entrance.

He was a boy.

He was wearing a windbreaker, and his hair was deliberately styled to look a little messy.

He looks like a typical immature teenager.

The boy was very outgoing. His gaze swept over Chen Feng and the others, and he was taken aback at first.

Without pausing, he walked straight to a relatively clean corner.

The boy naturally found a seat and sat down casually.

"A chosen one of the gods?!"

The alarm bells immediately went off for Chen Feng and his group.

Li Yuanguang's fingers trembled almost imperceptibly, and a faint electric current seemed to flash through the air.

Sun Miao leaned forward slightly, his muscles tense.

Everyone was watching the boy, ready to suddenly attack at any moment.

The boy seemed oblivious to the sudden tension around him.

He leaned against the wall and yawned.

"Don't be so nervous, I just happened to be passing by."

The boy's voice sounded lazy and nonchalant.

"As you all know, it's not easy to find a safe place to rest in the Holy Elephant Kingdom these days."

Sun Miao immediately prepared to take action.

He was about to reprimand him when Chen Feng stopped him.

Chen Feng simply raised his hand and gave him a look, and Sun Miao stopped what he was doing.

Sun Miao looked at Chen Feng in confusion, but Chen Feng's body did not relax at all.

Since breaking through to the fourth level of spiritual power, his perception of danger has become even more acute.

The boy gave him a subtle sense of danger.

The sense of danger wasn't intense, but it was persistent.

More importantly, the aura emanating from the boy was completely different from that of those favored by the gods.

The aura of the chosen one carried a twisted fanaticism, and because it was a power suddenly acquired, the aura was both weak and violent.

But this boy is more like a bottomless pool.

Chen Feng's thoughts raced.

His gaze toward the boy was profound.

An idea popped into Chen Feng's mind.

This guy is not a chosen one of the gods, and like the old man and the child we encountered before, he is not a human from Earth.

Chen Feng made a judgment in his mind.

But he showed no emotion on his face, and simply pressed down Sun Miao, who was about to make a move.

Seeing Chen Feng's actions, the boy's face lit up with a carefree smile.

"I really meant absolutely no harm."

He raised his hand to indicate that he posed no threat.

"It was all just a coincidence; I just wanted to rest here for the night."

The boy leaned closer: "I'll leave after resting for one night."

Chen Feng pondered briefly.

This boy did not possess the unusual energy of someone favored by the gods, yet he carried an unusual sense of danger.

Letting him go might mean missing an opportunity to learn the truth.
