Chapter 574 Hunting the Wolves
Wang Tao has been busy recently and has not entered the crack.
D Ding Yuqin and the others have basically been hunting monsters in the cracks. They explored outwards with the Changhe Base as the center, and basically searched the several cracks around them, and gained a lot.
The crack they are entering now is the only place that Ding Yuqin and the others have not yet explored. Because there are many fifth-level lord mutant beasts here, these fifth-level mutant beasts will cooperate with each other.
Although Ding Yuqin and the others are fifth-level awakened ones with extraordinary strength, the environment in the crack is not favorable to them. If they fight with these fifth-level lords, accidents are prone to occur.
They don't have to kill these monsters. There is no need to fight hard. They can just wait for Wang Tao to come. Why take risks when you can win?
And Wang Tao also said before that if you encounter a large number of fifth-level lords or that cannot be dealt with, you can call him.
Wang Tao still has some fifth-level all-powerful crystal cores before he can advance to the sixth level, so that’s just right. Let’s clean up the monsters here today.
Wang Tao led everyone into the crack in a swaggering manner.
With Wang Tao here, everyone immediately felt much more comfortable - because Wang Tao had removed all the black fog from the cracks, the effect of the night vision devices in their hands was greatly enhanced.
This crack is the same as the crack that Wang Tao entered for the first time. However, the previous crack only had two layers, and this crack has at least three layers. This is the crack with the most layers that Ding Yuqin and the others have ever seen.
The group of fifth-level lords are on the third floor.
Since the monsters on the first and second floors had been cleared away, Wang Tao and the others did not stop much and reached the third floor unimpeded.
The black mist on the third layer is naturally the thickest, but for Wang Tao who is now powerful, it is naturally not a problem, and the black mist is brushed away with a wave of his hand.
The moment he entered the third floor, Wang Tao faintly felt the aura of the fifth-level lord.
This is not because of how keen his perception is. After all, the fifth-level lords are still some distance away from him. This is because there are relatively many fifth-level lords, and they are all gathered together. The aura they emit is amazing, so they can stay far away. feel.
"It's interesting to have so many lords gathering together..."
Wang Tao grinned. He could kill even the sixth-order disaster class, so naturally the fifth-order lord would not move his face. Even if there are a lot of enemies, as long as the quantitative change does not lead to qualitative change, it is not a problem for Wang Tao.
Not long after, Wang Tao saw the first fifth-level lord. It grinned at Wang Tao and his group.
This is a burly, dark red haired, red pupil... wolf!
[HP: 1000000/1000000]
[Mana: 200000/200000]
[Level: Level 5·Lord]
[Impurities in the body: 50%]< br>
【Awakening: Body of Night】
[Body of Dark Night: All basic attributes are improved in all aspects, dark attribute defense is greatly improved, and attacks are accompanied by dark attribute damage]
Wang Tao raised his eyebrows when he saw the appearance and attributes of this red wolf.
The appearance of the red wolf seems to have the same style as the mutant leopard that was previously collected by Wang Tao - they are both red and black, and they look fierce.
Furthermore, the awakening of this red wolf is exactly the same as that of the mutated leopard, both awakening of [Body of Darkness]!
However, their blood volume is different. The previous leopard had 500,000 blood, but this mutant wolf has 1 million blood, which is exactly double.
Wang Tao had communicated with those leopards before. None of them had memories of their childhood. This seemed unusual... but the brains of those leopards were normal. After some coercion and inducement from Wang Tao, they obediently followed Wang Tao to Changhe Base.
And the mutated red wolf in front of him...
Wang Tao could not feel any wisdom in its eyes, but some were violent!
“There’s something wrong with this wolf…”
Wang Tao reminded him immediately.
When Ding Yuqin told him about the situation here before, he was still a little confused whether to kill all these mutant beasts or trick him back to the base...
Killing the mutant red wolf will naturally get the crystal core. But it would also be a good choice to lure them back to the base and work for the base like mutant leopards.
But now, Wang Tao feels that there is no need to worry, because the eyes of these mutant wolves are too crazy and they seem to be unable to communicate.
But this is just Wang Tao's guess, he is still ready to give it a try.
So, looking at the grinning mutant red wolf, Wang Tao activated his mental power and prepared to try to communicate with it.
But when Wang Tao's mental power came into contact with the mutated red wolf, his expression suddenly changed!
The mutated red wolf's brain has no consciousness that belongs to normal creatures, only an endless aura of violence!
After Wang Tao's mental power came into contact with these violent auras, he felt as if his head had been pricked by needles! These violent auras quickly hit him along with his mental power!
If Wang Tao is contaminated by this violent aura, there is a possibility of being assimilated!
Although Wang Tao feels that his mental strength is strong enough to withstand this level of mental attack, he will not become an irrational monster like Red Wolf. But there was no need for Wang Tao to take risks. He immediately cut off the gecko's tail - cutting off his own spiritual power!
Phew——
The loss of some mental power made Wang Tao take a breath subconsciously, but it was nothing serious.
"Wang Tao, are you okay?"
While Ding Yuqin and others were talking, they quickly surrounded Wang Tao in the middle to prevent the mutant red wolf from sneaking attacks.
However, the mutated red wolf did not attack Wang Tao, but turned around and ran away.
Wang Tao did not chase, he immediately said to everyone:
"There is a big problem with this red wolf - it seems to have no consciousness of its own! In other words, its consciousness is a violent ocean! This violent ocean As long as it can touch my mental power, it will rush towards me directly. I can't avoid it, so I can only forcibly disconnect my mental power to prevent it from being affected... I have no way to communicate with it..."
< br>Wang Tao told everyone what had just happened.
Everyone frowned after hearing this. Without their own consciousness, is it still a mirror?
They didn’t understand what was going on. But what is certain is that Wang Tao will not be able to receive a younger brother this time.
"Let's go inside and take a look at the other mutated red wolves."
Wang Tao had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure yet.
Not long after, Wang Tao came to a stone forest and saw the mutant red wolf again. But this time it’s not just one, but a whole bunch of them!
At a glance, there are at least forty of them!
These red wolves are all fifth-level lords!
This was the first time that Wang Tao saw so many lords of the same rank together. They were all exactly the same in attributes, appearance, and even their violent eyes, as if they were carved from the same mold.
......
This group of mutated red wolves came over silently and slowly surrounded Wang Tao and others. But there was no direct attack, as if he was looking for an opportunity to make a move.
The auras belonging to the fifth-level lords on their bodies spread out without reservation, impacting Wang Tao and his party.
Ding Yuqin and others looked serious.
"Such a strong smell..." "This is more than the last time we came here! There were only a dozen last time... Then these are either increased after we left, or we didn't encounter them when we came. The large army of wolves..."
"..."
A few people subconsciously looked at Wang Tao.
Wang Tao was a little surprised when he saw the number of red wolves, but he was not panicked.
Wang Tao had some guesses about the identities of those mutated leopards before, but he was not sure. Now seeing the appearance of these red wolves, Wang Tao felt that his guess might be right -
"These mutant beasts are probably cloned!"
Wang Tao whispered.
Except for their different consciousnesses, the leopards were almost identical in other aspects. Wang Tao couldn't tell who was who. The appearance and attributes of this group of red wolves are also exactly the same. Although the red wolves seem to have no consciousness and only instinct, they are not conscious... In addition, those leopards have lost the memory of their childhood...
Wang Tao has The reason is to guess that these mutant beasts were cloned! Otherwise there is no way to explain why they are all the same.
When Wang Tao talks about "cloning", he does not mean that it is artificially cloned. Rather, these mutated leopards and mutated red wolves did not appear under natural conditions, but appeared after some kind of interference or manipulation!
Those who can perform this kind of control may be humans, or they may be some kind of intelligent creatures...
Wang Tao feels that the latter is more likely. After all, it is the end of the world and human beings are still alive. It's very difficult. No one should have the technology and ability to clone a monster of this level.
Of course, there is another possibility - these mutated leopards and mutated red wolves are test subjects of certain human clones before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, the test subjects mutated...
< br>Anyway, these mutant beasts are definitely influenced or controlled by some kind of force! Otherwise there is no way to explain why they are exactly the same.
"Clone!"
Others were shocked when they heard this.
They didn’t subconsciously think about cloning, because how awesome the technology would be to clone this thing? It should be impossible...
Wang Tao obviously saw what they were thinking, so he said again:
"The ones who clone them are not necessarily humans, and this technology is not necessarily called Cloning... Anyway, you know the general meaning - these mutant beasts are not naturally produced."
"..."
No one spoke, but they all felt uncomfortable.
Suppose there is such a person, or something, secretly cloning these dangerous creatures... This is obviously not a good thing!
“Let’s deal with these red wolves first.”
Wang Tao looked at the group of mutated red wolves roaring at them and said.
The coming of the apocalypse itself is a very mysterious thing. No matter how many mysterious things appear in the apocalypse, it is not surprising. He will not get entangled in this kind of thing and has to find the so-called mastermind behind the scenes.
All he knew was that this group of mutated red wolves had no way of communicating, so he had no choice but to kill them!
However, these are forty fifth-level mutated red wolf lords after all. They are already qualified for "quantitative change leads to qualitative change". No matter how strong Wang Tao is, he cannot take it lightly.
Howl——
This group of mutated red wolves obviously couldn't wait any longer. After howling one after another, they suddenly rushed towards Wang Tao and others from all directions at the same time. Their formation may seem chaotic, but there are rules within it. Each wolf has its own goal!
Looking at the menacing wolf, everyone clenched their weapons and felt a little nervous.
Wang Tao's expression remained unchanged. He raised the sharp blade and flames ignited from his body.
Brush——
The orange flame light instantly illuminated the underground space, and also illuminated the ferocious faces of the mutated red wolves.
At the same time, the split cloak behind Wang Tao also ignited flames. It quickly grew in size and blocked everyone directly.
All the wolf attacks were directed at the Split Cloak, and the Split Cloak's defense after activation was extremely high, and it directly withstood the attacks of more than forty red wolves!
But Wang Tao didn't like passive defense, so he quickly put away his cloak. Ding Yuqin and the others' charged attack hit the red wolf instantly when the cloak was retracted. Wang Tao also struck the wolves with a shock wave burning with flames.
Ouch——
The wolves suddenly howled like ghosts, and a large number of damage figures appeared above their heads.
After a simple confrontation, Wang Tao was unharmed, but the wolves were all injured.
Wang Tao's face still didn't change much, which was as he expected. Ding Yuqin and the others breathed a long sigh of relief. Although there are a lot of mutant red wolves, they can fight with Wang Tao here!
The wolves were hit one after another, and the formation seemed to be a little chaotic. But it only took them a few seconds to regain their formation.
"Although their brains are violent and they have no normal consciousness, they have a rich sense of combat and cooperation is like instinct... Could it be that this is a specially cultivated biological weapon?"
Wang Tao I was thinking in my heart, but my hands didn't stop.
He waved the giant blade in his right hand, and one blast after another of flames hit the wolves. His eyes glowed red, and two high-temperature rays shot at the mutated red wolf without restraint.
At the same time, he suddenly threw the fireball charged in his left hand, and with a bang, the wolves seemed to be set on fire. The wolves howled, and the smell of barbecue floated in the wind.
Wang Tao's attack methods are basically range attacks. Faced with this kind of group attack, his attacks will not be wasted.
“So strong!”
Xiang Hongbin admired for a while.
I thought that after the fifth level, the gap between him and Wang Tao would narrow, but in fact, the gap between them seems to be getting wider...
"It's really strong!"
Everyone nodded.
But they didn't have time to look at Wang Tao, they were all attacking the wolves.
The wolves seemed to have been beaten badly by Wang Tao, but they were not dead yet. As long as they are alive, they cannot take it lightly.
With Wang Tao and a dozen fifth-level awakeners firing on all cylinders, just a few minutes later, the stone forest turned into a sea of fire, with dozens of wolf corpses lying at Wang Tao's feet.
Looking at the trophy packages on the ground, Wang Tao extinguished the flames on his body, then quickly put away the trophies, with a bright smile on his face.
The fifth-level all-powerful crystal core he needs to advance to the sixth level is enough!
But now is not the time to advance to the sixth level. In addition to taking a look at the trophies of these mutated red wolves, we also need to explore the third level.
Ding Yuqin and the others were blocked by wolves before, so they did not continue to explore the third floor. Since Wang Tao is here, he must explore it again.
