CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: KILLING MACHINE! DARK GOLD MANTIS!

Looking at the image, the Profound Dragon Fruit Tree shimmering with purple light, resembling an Immortal Root.

Everyone’s hearts were filled with excitement, and their eyes gradually heated up.

This is indeed a great treasure!

"The purple fruit tree bears mutated fruits that seem extremely extraordinary. Their level must be quite high, and the value is immense!"

"We absolutely cannot let these mutated fruits fall into the mouths of the beasts!"

An officer’s eyes lit up, quickly suggesting.

Nowadays, the Great Qin Empire is the main force against the beasts.

In recent days, seeing the beasts they encounter rapidly grow stronger, the Qin Army is naturally very anxious, urgently needing to enhance their strength.

The demand for mutated fruits is boundless!

If the situation permitted, they would have wanted to gather all the mutated fruits in the Great Qin Empire to cultivate a superhuman force against the beasts.

And now, such a mutated fruit is right before their eyes; there’s no reason for the Qin Army not to take it.

"That’s right, if our Qin Army obtains the mutated fruit, we could probably cultivate powerful extraordinaries and boost our army’s strength! We absolutely cannot let those animals ruin it!"

Another officer beside him brightened his eyes and nodded affirmatively.

"Indeed, we can’t let those animals have it. The relationship between us and the beasts is mutually exclusive.

This purple fruit tree is definitely a rare and precious Spirit Root of Taixu Mountain, and the mutated fruits it bears are extremely rare.

If we seize it, we can suppress the growth speed of the beasts on Taixu Mountain better."

"We must retrieve all these mutated fruits and not leave even a single one for the beasts of Taixu Mountain!"

"..."

After a bout of discussion, everyone agreed that the mutated fruits couldn’t fall into the hands of the beasts.

They prepared to send troops into Taixu Mountain.

Taixu Mountain is the largest mountain range in Dakun City, covering a vast area, with endless peaks and dense forests.

Before the Spiritual Energy Revival, Taixu Mountain was designated as a nature reserve, generally barring human entry.

This has caused a great number of wild animals to reside inside.

After the Spiritual Energy Revival, a large number of beasts evolved.

Nowadays, Taixu Mountain is populated with countless beasts, constrained by terrain, even the Qin Army struggles to handle them temporarily.

In recent days, powerful beasts have frequently rushed out from Taixu Mountain, causing frequent casualties.

Therefore, the Qin Army ordered a large-scale military advance into Taixu Mountain this time.

While seizing the mutated fruits, they decided to clear out the beasts in Taixu Mountain, reducing their density.

Two days later.

Jiang Che and Nangong Luo arrived at Taixu Mountain.

On a low hill, Jiang Che gazed into the distance, looking at the endless green mountain ranges, squinting his eyes, and taking a gentle breath.

Extremely refreshing, feeling as though his entire body had been cleansed.

The Spiritual Qi is dense!

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of Taixu Mountain is slightly less dense than Changbai Mountain.

After all, Changbai Mountain has the Bodhi Holy Tree, this special Spirit Root that gathers spirits.

Taixu Mountain is quite good, ranking second among the places Jiang Che has traveled.

Another Spiritual Land!

But Jiang Che isn’t surprised by this.

Just like Changbai Mountain can nurture the Bodhi Holy Tree.

Taixu Mountain can nurture the Profound Dragon Fruit Tree, this rare spirit plant, so its environment naturally wouldn’t be ordinary; otherwise, the spiritual energy inside couldn’t support the growth of such spirit plants.

"呼吁..."

Little Purple obediently lay on Jiang Che’s head, burying its little head, snoring lightly in sleep.

Behind, Nangong Luo slowly walked up, looking at the distant sky, her eyes flickering with thought.

In the distant mountains, in the vast sky, numerous shadows flew around.

They were mechanical birds, constantly circling.

Seeing these bionic drones, Nangong Luo knew humans had focused their attention on the Profound Dragon Fruit of Taixu Mountain.

It seemed humans had already sent people into Taixu Mountain.

"There’s going to be a fierce battle this time!"

Nangong Luo’s eyes slightly narrowed, contemplating silently.

Besides the humans who were expected to come, the beasts within Taixu Mountain were also formidable.

In the previous life, she learned about the battle between humans and beasts over the Profound Dragon Fruit of Taixu Mountain.

Although she did not participate, she became familiar with it afterward.

Reportedly, Taixu Mountain housed a mighty and extremely savage beast.

The authorities named it the Dark Gold Mantis.

This beast’s entire body possesses a dark gold hue, resembling a makeup of sturdy metal, with scythe-like forelimbs exhibiting endless sharpness, slashing through metal effortlessly.

Standing there, it resembles a cold and emotionless killing machine.

Moreover, the Dark Gold Mantis has a special invisibility ability, allowing it to blend seamlessly into Taixu Mountain’s landscape, unseen by others.

It’s practically a natural-born assassin.

Every appearance witnesses the swinging of its Slaughter Scythe, painting its blade red and claiming numerous lives.

In the previous life, humans faced this beast in the mountains, and the Qin Army struggled to pinpoint its exact location, repeatedly retreating before the Dark Gold Mantis, incurring losses embarrassingly.

Eventually, this Dark Gold Mantis even acquired the Profound Dragon Fruit.

This incident greatly affected the Qin Army due to the casualties incurred, leading Nangong Luo to learn about the situation.

Understanding more about the Profound Dragon Fruit Tree and Dark Gold Mantis.

Recalling the data on the terrifying Dark Gold Mantis.

Mysterious, fierce, terrifying!

Unwittingly, Nangong Luo looked towards the elder brother ahead.

The weight in her gaze instantly dissipated.

"With my elder brother here in this life, the Profound Dragon Fruit will indeed be mine!"

Nangong Luo felt very confident inside.

Given her elder brother’s current strength, the Dark Gold Mantis probably couldn’t even crack his Spiritual Power Shield, let alone battle him.

Perhaps, a single thunder from her elder brother would reduce the formidable looking Dark Gold Mantis to ashes.

Indeed, the strength gap is too vast!

...

Simultaneously, inside the Dakun City command center.

Seven or eight officers were seated at a conference table.

A video freshly filmed from Taixu Mountain was swiftly sent over by the drone squad.

"Look at this, is this the two giant tigers we’ve been instructed to monitor continuously?"

Then, the video played, revealing the scene to everyone.

The drone seemed to have filmed from a distant altitude, so it wasn’t very clear, though the appearance of the beasts was somewhat distinguishable.

In the footage.

Suddenly, two fearsome giant tigers appeared on a distant mountain peak.

One with a glossy variegated coat, enormous and imposing; the other slightly smaller but gleaming golden all over, appearing majestic and extremely conspicuous.
