As the mysterious blue giant eagle flew further away, the area around the ancient tree seemed to regain its vitality. Several plump mice burrowed up from the ground and began gnawing on the surrounding grass roots.
A large swarm of fist-sized mutated ants quickly surged out, directly surrounding the few big mice, and a bloody hunt commenced!
Around the ancient tree, some slightly larger animals flickered in and out of sight.
With a gust of wind, the ancient tree rustled, and at the junction of its crown and branches, a pair of murky, dirt-colored eyes suddenly opened.
Watching the mountains and forests come alive again with the disappearance of the giant eagle's pressure, a kind expression appeared at the corner of the ancient tree's eyes.
The mountains and forests should be vibrant and full of life, not turned into a dead land by a super mutated beast!
The branches swung as if they were hands, gently stroking its abdomen.
Inside the narrow space at the abdomen of the ancient tree, a small lizard was licking the sweet liquid that flowed from the ancient tree's belly. As the lizard fed, its body began to change gradually.
It grew larger and longer, even two small lumps started to bulge on its back and head.
This was a transformation of life forms!
...
Wen Yu plunged his knife into the neck of the corpse king, abruptly cutting off its roar.
Seeing the corpse king's ash-gray eyes gradually turn desperate, Wen Yu ignored its violent struggles and slowly moved the steel knife within the corpse king's neck.
As filthy blood gushed forth, the corpse king's strength to resist weakened more and more, until the steel knife made a complete circle within its neck!
The corpse king's head was severed by Wen Yu!
After witnessing the head separate from the body, Wen Yu immediately sat down on the ground, gasping for breath. He deactivated his combat state and summoned the one-eyed creature.
With the weakening of his physical quality due to the release of his destiny fight ability and soul beast fusion, Wen Yu suddenly felt a heaviness in his chest!
He had injured his internal organs.
The one-eyed creature was in an even worse state, its entire body burned by flames with no unscathed skin, one eye blinded, and the area struck by the corpse king's right hand was sunken in, with countless broken ribs!
The one-eyed creature had completely succumbed to its injuries, lying limp on the ground and motionless.
Although its physical quality had been dramatically enhanced by the destiny fight ability, once the injuries were too severe, even the strongest physique would be ineffective!
“It’s time to eat, can you still move?”
Seeing the one-eyed creature covered in horrific wounds, Wen Yu felt a pang of heartache and asked with concern.
The one-eyed creature blinked its good right eye, looked at the corpse king lying on the ground, and let out a couple of whimpers before stumbling to its feet and directly began to gnaw at the corpse king's head.
There wasn't much flesh on the corpse king's head, but the brain matter was the essence. As the one-eyed creature devoured it, its injuries began to heal at an accelerated pace. It even showed a tendency to grow larger.
The corpse king's body could provide the one-eyed creature with unimaginable evolution energy!
This was also the greatest reward of this battle.
Just as the one-eyed creature finished eating the corpse king's head and was about to consume its body, a loud eagle call echoed through the dim sky!
“Caw.”
Wen Yu’s expression changed dramatically; this sound was extremely sharp, piercing through his mind like a needle.
This wasn’t a skill; it was merely the effect of overwhelming physical quality. To achieve such an effect, this creature's physical quality must exceed Wen Yu's by more than five times.
Just from this call, Wen Yu could conclude that this mutated beast was definitely at the same level as Simba.
It was absolutely unmatchable!
This was Wen Yu's first reaction.
He immediately activated the soul realm and recalled the one-eyed creature, turning and running. Although it was unfortunate to leave behind the corpse king’s body, Wen Yu clearly understood which was more important: the loot or his life.
