Marcus Lee chuckled, “Mr. Woodley, stop focusing on Jack Clark. Can’t you see he’s a complete freak?”
“You were no match for him in the Freshman Ranking Tournament. Back then, he was only at the First Layer Heaven and was cultivating low-level martial arts.”
“Not to mention that after going to Koroya, he soared to new heights, even surpassing Howard Lee.”
As he said this, Marcus Lee glanced thoughtfully at the rapidly sprinting figures in front of them, “As for now, I feel like Jane Aiken is slowly being left behind by Jack.”
“Jack’s talent might be more terrifying than anyone can imagine. Instead of comparing yourself to him and feeling uncomfortable, you should focus more on those behind us.”
“For example, our classmates in the First and Second Layer Heaven, who are still working hard at school.”
“Think about how, with just one or two more months of hard work, we can break through the Fourth Layer, and you’ll feel a great sense of accomplishment.”
Mullen Weisz looked at him in surprise, “I never thought you’d be so good at comforting yourself, Marcus.”
“Nonsense, do you want me to envy him all day long?”
The White Veil praised, “In this respect, Marcus is really better. No wonder he’s always so cheerful, even when he seems a little foolish.”
“Get lost, am 1 foolish?”
As the group behind them bantered, Jack Clark and Freya Louise walked side by side, casually asking, “How was it? Did you encounter any problems when you entered the mountains earlier?”
Justin Welan proudly replied, “With Grandpa Walton here, those mutated beasts couldn’t break our defenses. Even the Level 4 Late Stage Mutated Beast was held back by me.”
At this moment, Freya Louise chuckled, “Then you were slammed into the mountain wall.”
Justin Welan instantly complained bitterly, “Gorgeous Freya, you might kill our nice chat like this.”
As the two groups were chatting, Howard Lee, who was running upfront, had covered more than 300 kilometers in no time.
Bang!
With a swing of the four-meter-long steel pillar, half of the body of a Mutant Bird with an eight-meter wingspan was blasted off, with countless flesh, blood, and feathers spraying everywhere.
Everyone was used to such occurrences and continued to hurry on their way.
However, before they had run another ten kilometers, red True Power circulated around the steel pillar in Howard Lee’s hand, and with a blow from the sky, it smashed the head of a venomous python just as it was about to raise its head.
Howard Lee said solemnly, “We’ve entered the eastern edge of the Nine Rings Mountain. The mountains are high and the forests are dense here, and there are many low-level mutated creatures. Be careful.”
Jack stepped forward, “I’ll lead the way from now on. We must get to the Mountain Range where the Mutated Beast Horde is today, or else our journey will be delayed longer.”
Although the Light King Blade Technique had been integrated into the Eight Desolate Refining Hell Halberd, the Heart’s Eye Realm, which had been rune-fied, still remained.
So when Jack led the way, every time his heavy halberd swung, fierce winds howled, and thunder roared, as all the attacking mutated creatures were blown into a pulp.
Since the Eight Desolate Battle Halberd was refined into a Transcendent Weapon, Jack’s strength had become even more terrifying – any ordinary attack was invincible and unstoppable.
Climbing over hills and mountains, the group, who had traveled diagonally over nearly a thousand kilometers of mountain roads since morning, finally arrived at the foot of the mountain range where the mutated beasts with scale armor were located just before nightfall.
Of course, the reason it took so long was due to the relatively slow speed of Zac Lyons and the others compared to Jack’s group.
This place belonged to the other side of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Mist filled the air between heaven and earth, and standing at the foot of the mountain, they could barely see a few hundred meters ahead in the distance.
There were towering trees here that were dozens or even hundreds of meters tall, with weeds and bushes growing higher than a person, tree vines intertwined, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to move an inch.
Occasionally, the fierce roars of mutated beasts could be heard in the surroundings.
In addition to the shaking of grass and bushes in the distance, accompanied by a rustling sound as if something was crawling, the atmosphere was quite eerie.
However, this spookiness was in comparison to ordinary people, and Jack’s group only glanced at it before dismissing it.
At this moment, Howard Lee said in a deep voice, “It’s getting dark soon, and mutated creatures are more active at night. We should find a hidden cave to spend the night.”
Although cultivators in the Third and Fourth Layers could have a certain degree of night vision, it wasn’t far enough to have a significant effect on their combat strength.
Thus, under normal conditions, cultivators would find a safe place to spend the night when they went out, and only take action during the day.
Jack nodded, “That’s simple. With so many of us, we can search within a ten-kilometer radius. If we can’t find one, we can dig one.”
“Heh! Jack’s right. I’ll go this way.”
“I’ll go that way…”
Soon, Marcus Lee found a cave under a mountain cliff a few kilometers away, with the entrance blocked by a large rock.
As for the owner of the cave, the Level Two Variant Beast was smashed to pieces by Marcus, leaving behind a pool of blood that they could roast and eat before nightfall.
Night!
After arranging for the night watchmen, everyone who had eaten roasted Mutated Beast Meat went their separate ways, each finding a spot to sit cross-legged and begin their cultivation.
During his cultivation, Jack paid the majority of his attention to the Thunderflame Behemoth because something was wrong with it.
Whining! Uncle, come out quick.
Whining! Uncle, save me.
In the scorching seawater around the volcano, a fifteen-meter-long black and white Tiger Whale with flame patterns all over it swam around, constantly letting out whining cries for help.
Boom!
Suddenly, the magma inside the volcano exploded, and a black-red ferocious behemoth emerged, its whole body burning golden red flames and emitting a terrifyingly high temperature.
At this point, the Thunderflame Behemoth, which had been sleeping in the volcano for a few days and had absorbed a huge amount of heat, now had ancient red flame patterns on its black scales..
