The night gradually grew darker and darker, yet the southern side of this continent was as bright as day.

At the south stood a Towering Tree, piercing through the clouds, like a skyscraper. It was surrounded by colourful glows, painting the world in all kinds of colours.

*Roooaar, roooaar, roooaar…* Roars and growls of Mutant Beasts echoed on the ground as they began cleaning up the battlefield in an orderly manner.

The carcasses were being dragged by the Mutant Beasts towards the Pocket of Ice.

The Pocket of Ice was a land of extreme cold, which would help in preserving these carcasses from decaying.

Not to mention, with these carcasses, Misty Mountains’ food supply was secured for several months or even half a year.

Of course, food full of Spiritual Energy was considered a luxury for most Mutant Beasts.

As a matter of fact, under Yu Zi Yu’s command, his Mutant Beasts would never devour the carcass of their comrades.

With Yu Zi Yu’s aura acting as a signpost, his Mutant Beasts could distinguish between friend and foe at a glance, even if they had not met each other before.

In fact, most of the carcasses were taken back by their respective Clans.

For example, the Tiger Clan would place their comrades’ carcass into a blood pool. Once the carcass decomposed into blood, it would continuously accumulate power.

Later, if a prodigy was born in the Tiger Clan, they could go to the blood pool to cleanse their Bloodline.

This was the foundation of their Clan.

It might not seem significant now, but in a thousand or even ten thousand years, prodigies from the Tiger Clan would continuously emerge.

The top-tier Dragon Clan also practiced this tradition, similarly. The famous Dragon Tomb of the Dragon Clan followed this principle. However, the Dragon Clan’s methods were more intricate and truly could not be replicated by other Races.

*Haaaaaa…* Heaving a sigh, Yu Zi Yu regretfully glanced at the battlefield before shifting his gaze to Nine Tails not far away.

“Master, after a simple tally, we found that Misty Mountains suffered a 40% loss, with many commanders injured. But, compared to our losses, our gains have exceeded expectations.” At this point, Nine Tails’ tone changed, revealing a hint of joy, “According to our tally, we’ve captured eight and killed two Natural Disaster-Class Tier-4 Transcendents alive, whereas others had managed to escape with serious injuries.”

Hearing this, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes lit up. He had not expected to capture eight Natural Disaster-Class Creatures alive.

After all, Natural Disaster-Class Transcendents possessed extremely mystic and powerful means. Capturing them alive, let alone killing them, was extremely difficult. Yet they have captured a total of eight. This showed the combat strength of Yu Zi Yu’s Commanders.

“Hehehehe…” Grinning, Yu Zi Yu praised, “Not bad. Once this is over, I will reward you all accordingly.”

“Thank you, Master,” responding, Nine Tails presented the compiled list.

With a quick glance, Yu Zi Yu understood the situation.

All four Natural Disaster-Class Transcendents of the Barbarian Clan, including Barbarian King and Moon Barbarian, were captured alive.

Additionally, the Black War Elephant and a Snow Lion King were also defeated by Dark King and Little Tenth.

The other two Natural Disaster-Class Transcendents fell at the hands of Golden Ant and Nine Tails.

“Eight Natural Disaster-Class Transcendents, huh…” Yu Zi Yu’s eyes could not help but flicker as he made calculations.

But just then, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if sensing something.

“No, there should be a ninth Natural Disaster-Class Transcendent,” as he said this, Yu Zi Yu’s Roots suddenly surged with Spiritual Energy.

*Swoooosh, swooosh, swooosh…* With one swishing sound after another, nine of Yu Zi Yu’s Willow Branches, entwined with electric arcs, transformed into silver bolts of lightning, shooting into the darkness.

*Hiss, hiss…* Suddenly, hisses shook the night sky.

Looking towards the source, one could see a black shadow stretching towards the horizon.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Suddenly, a calm and gentle voice echoed through the night sky, causing the shadowy figure’s face to change drastically.

“I was just looking, just looking…” With a touch of horror, the shadowy figure’s speed increased drastically, seemingly desperate.

At the same time, Yu Zi Yu noticed ripples in the space, like waves stirred by fish in water, looking extraordinarily eerie.

“To be able to merge with space, no wonder you dared to spy on me.” Smiling in his heart, Yu Zi Yu’s pupils suddenly contracted.

The next moment, deafening rumbles shook the ground as a Purple Python suddenly flashed by, much to the horror of countless Mutant Beasts.

At a closer look, it was actually a gigantic Purple Boa. Its aura alone was cold enough to freeze the Soul. Its Snake Eyes, occasionally gleaming with a purple glimmer, were locked onto the shadowy figure fleeing in the distance.

“Go, catch it.” Hearing Yu Zi Yu’s soft voice, a playful glint flashed in the Purple Python’s eyes, as if it was sentient, and immediately gave out an increasingly ferocious hiss, making even the distant shadowy figure shudder in fear.

…

At that moment, Nine Tails finally couldn’t hold her curiosity and asked, glancing in confusion at the disappearing shadow in the horizon, “Master, what is that?”

“It’s a little Snake,” giving a short answer, Yu Zi Yu added further, “A pretty good Snake…”

Murmuring, Yu Zi Yu recalled the status screen that had flashed by earlier.

Race: Mutant Soaring Snake
Rank: Tier-4.

Innate Talent: Venomous Fangs — Its fangs are incomparable sharp, sharp enough to tear through any defense and inject lethal neurotoxin, one so potent that even Tier-4 Transcents couldn’t withstand.

Unique Ability: Poison Eater — It grows by absorbing toxins; the more terrifying the toxin, the more delicious it finds it.

Spatial Scales — It black as ink scales seemed to possess the properties of space, capable of significantly boosting its speed and hiding its presence.

…

Deathly Poison Mist — It can exhale a poison mist that dissolves everything, something ordinary beings can withstand.
