It had been some time since they arrived at the zoo, and the sky was gradually darkening, with the distant clouds tinged with a crimson hue.

The most active time for these mutated life forms is about to arrive.

Lady White Snake swam down from Miao Yin's hand, grew larger, and began to devour the corpse of the nine-headed bird.

This is a mutant species that is about to break through the pink crystal core, and it is much more advanced than the previous foods.

A riot broke out outside Wolf Mountain, and white thorns pierced through the deformed people, suspending them high in the air.

“They’re here,” Miao Yin said.

The cry of the nine-headed bird had attracted all the mutated creatures that were wandering around the zoo, not to mention those not far from them.

The mutated beings that had surrounded Yan Shuzhou and his companions also came to Wolf Mountain.

Yan Shuzhou and the others naturally followed.

"The terrain here is too low; it's not suitable for fighting," Tu Hao said.

Their current location is surrounded on all sides, with empty rock walls above them, where mutants could jump down and launch an air attack at any moment.

—It's too unsafe.

Looking at the densely packed, deformed people outside, Tu Hao felt a headache coming on.

“They’re all outside Wolf Mountain. Those mutants are being blocked from entering by your Mi Huo, so they’ll all go to them. Take this opportunity to break out.”

“There’s another possibility,” Miao Yin interrupted him.

"what?"

"They will come in."

As soon as she finished speaking, dozens of thorns burst from the ground, crisscrossing the earth and extending all the way to Miao Yin's flames, stringing together countless mutated lives and pressing them to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Miao Yin dispersed the burning embers.

Then a huge clump of thorns flew over from outside and landed in front of them. The thorns unfurled, revealing several people inside.

"They actually came." Tu Hao said softly, and then felt an uncomfortable gaze.

He turned his head and saw that it was Yan Shuzhou.

He was accompanied by several Moon-Treading Pigs, which had grown considerably larger, their expressions gloomy, and they seemed very dissatisfied with him.

Tu Hao lowered his eyebrows and ignored him.

—This guy is getting more and more annoying.

Miao Yin looked around at the thorny ball wrapped in layers and said to Ling, "Your control over your superpowers has improved again."

"I'd thought about this before, wondering if I could use the speed of the thorns to make a conveyor belt, and today I've succeeded." Ling stood steadily on the ground, the thorn ball scattering and transforming into a defensive barrier, blocking the mutated people outside.

Her move amazed many people, especially Yao Yue, who was stunned and seemed to be still in a daze.

During the time Miao Yin was away, they still went through a fierce battle.

Even though the troublesome hyenas have been cleared out, the remaining ones are still difficult to deal with, not to mention that there are two support-type ability users, You Wenwen and Yao Yue, who need to be protected.

A mutated life form at the level of a yellow crystal core, when converted to a supernatural ability level, would be classified as A-level.

At this time, the strongest summoner in the apocalypse was only B-rank, and Ji Yuanzhou, who was launching a strong attack, was not present.

Apart from Ling, everyone else dealt with the situation in a very awkward manner.

Looking at them now, most of them are injured, but fortunately, Yu Wenwen is there to treat their wounds.

“I was thinking of waiting for you to come out, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems there’s no difference between us coming in and you coming out. So we might as well fight alongside you.” Ling said, her violet eyes shining brightly.

With their current strength, they could easily wipe out everyone present.

Miao Yin smiled.

Ling has never suffered from the aftereffects of the experiment in her life, and she recuperated for a period of time in her small manor. Even her personality has become much more cheerful, vaguely resembling the appearance before the apocalypse.

That's not wrong.

Miao Yin put away her rifle. Her superpowers were enough to deal with these guys; there was no need to waste ammunition.

The monsters roared and climbed around outside the thorns.

"Withdraw the defenses," Miao Yin ordered.

The flames in her hands ignited once more, and rockets coalesced behind her.

New thorns grew from behind, encircling the two people who stayed behind in the rock wall for protection.

The carnivorous plant and the hundred-life willow landed at Gong Jingming's feet and continued to grow, eventually reaching two meters in height. He retreated to the thorny fence, his handsome face focused, clearly indicating that he was wholeheartedly controlling his summoned creatures.

Once the thorns receded, the mutants attacked with howls and screams.

The Hundred-Life Willow stretched out its branches, enveloping several deformed humans within. The slender willow branches, like steel bars, tightened inwards, causing blood to burst from the chafed cracks, accompanied by a chilling sound of bones shattering.

The mutants let out a wail, and those of lower level were strangled to death in an instant.

A bright red carnivorous flower petal snaps into the mutant in front of it, its soft stamens swallowing it whole, rolling it into the rootstock and killing it silently.

Amidst the chaos, Gong Jingming orchestrated a series of bloody incidents, his expression as indifferent as a frozen pool.

The strongest summoner of the last decade has already begun to show his prowess.

While swallowing the corpse of the nine-headed bird, Lady White Snake grew larger and raised her tail to slap the deformed humans, turning them into mincemeat in an instant.

A mutated wolf pounced from the side, using the dust it kicked up to attack Yan Shuzhou from behind.

With a flick of her finger, Miao Yin sent three flaming arrows flying, striking the mutated wolf and causing it to howl in pain.

Hearing the noise behind him, Yan Shuzhou turned around, activated his superpower, and the Moon-Treading Pig jumped out from the black patterns, opened its three-lobed lips, and bit off its neck.

Seeing that he was out of danger, Miao Yin withdrew her gaze and looked elsewhere.

With her subordinates being capable enough, she only needs to look around and make a few casual movements, and the crystal cores will naturally fall into her hands.

Tu Hao is even more of a force to be reckoned with. One-on-one combat is his forte, and he also has the ability to anticipate danger. Very few mutants can hurt him. Every move he makes is a thrilling display of violent aesthetics.

He had already fought his way to the front, facing a mutated lion.

Supernatural abilities can be increased not only by absorbing crystal cores, but also through continuous practice.

Tu Hao has already broken through the threshold of A-level, and he is not at a disadvantage when facing the aberrant variant with yellow crystal cores.

But just as he tore off one of the lion's legs, he suddenly froze on the spot.

"Tu Hao?" Miao Yin frowned slightly.

Being stunned during combat is not the behavior of a mercenary.

The deformed lion, now missing a leg, was burning with rage. Seizing the opportunity, it crouched down and leaped, its blood-red maw snapping at Tu Hao's head.

Miao Yin's eyes turned cold.

A dozen or so flames flew past Tu Hao from behind, piercing the deformed lion's body and slamming it to the ground, the flames burning its flesh.

Miao Yin appeared in a flash, flames engulfed the chainsaw, and with one strike, she chopped off its head!

The lion's head rolled around once, its eyes wide with rage, and it let out a low growl that seemed to tear at its vocal cords.

Miao Yin ignored him and turned her gaze to Tu Hao.

Only then did they realize that the other person wasn't simply stunned, but seemed to have suffered some kind of mental blow.

His pupils were dilated, his eyes were unfocused, his limbs were trembling slightly, he was breathing at a minimum, and his jaw was clenched.

Even when Miao Yin stood in front of him, he didn't react in the slightest.

An old memory flashed through her mind. Before Miao Yin could recall when she had ever seen the other person like this, she understood.

Something descended from afar. A huge roar resounded in Miao Yin's head, followed by an uncontrollable buzzing sound that echoed throughout the world. A chilling, bone-chilling coldness exploded from her tailbone all the way down until only a terrifying numbness remained on her entire back.

An invisible force gripped her neck, and suddenly she was plunged into boundless darkness. Her scalp tingled as if thousands of silver needles were pricking it, and it felt as if all the blood in her body was flowing backward.

Reason was torn apart, lungs lost control of the mind, breathing stopped subconsciously, and only the frantic beating of the heart, like a constant alarm bell, remained in the chest cavity.

'It saw her!'

Two seconds later, Miao Yin decisively bit the tip of her tongue.

The excruciating pain forcibly awakened her numb nerves. Her lungs were the first to regain sensation. Miao Yin took a deep breath, like a drowning person swimming to the surface, finally regaining control of her body.

In just a few seconds, her clothes were completely soaked, her vision went black, and she was surrounded by black checkered-shaped flies.

She gasped for breath, and as her vision returned to half of its previous state, Tu Hao also coughed up blood and broke free.

Like her, he bit his tongue.

The invisible oppression is growing stronger, and it's not just directed at them.

Another second later, all the living beings on the scene stopped moving and froze in place.

The mutants landed on the ground, writhing and convulsing. Then, their bodies exploded like fireworks, blood and flesh flying everywhere, and foul-smelling liquid soaking the soil.

All the mutants self-destructed.

Miao Yin's teammates, just like they had been, froze in place, their bodies trembling.

Miao Yin took a step forward, but felt as if she weighed a ton.

That invisible pressure never left for a moment.

Losing control of her body, Ling's thorns all crumbled, and You Wenwen knelt on the ground, clutching her throat, unable to breathe due to the pressure.

...It's so uncomfortable...it's so scary...I'm being watched...

...Superpower...Use your superpower now!!!

Her emerald green pupils trembled, but her body was unable to move due to the immense pressure, and even her energy pool was frozen like ice, unable to be activated.

Her face flushed crimson, but her lips were pale; she felt as if she were about to suffocate.

In despair, Miao Yin cast a glance at her.

-

This was the first time Yu Wenwen had ever felt the burning sensation in his soul caused by the curse!

It was a sea of ​​lava and fire, capable of reducing anyone to dust.

The excruciating pain broke free of his restraints, and Yu Wenwen's mind instantly cleared, his heart pounding wildly.

The next moment, the supernatural power that had been forcibly activated exploded outwards!

The emerald green supernatural power emanated from her, transforming into waves and ripples on the water's surface.

Superpower: Springtime

Heal all the wounds of a living organism, restore its vitality, and—

[Smooth out all negative effects.]

The gentle, flowing supernatural power spread out, and the ripples transformed into invisible hands, rescuing everyone from the deadly pressure and dispelling all negative effects.

Yu Wenwen, who was originally only at the C level, had to touch the other person in order to use his superpower.

But she followed them on their adventures, and not long ago, she broke through to Rank B, freeing herself from the restriction that required contact to take effect. The reason she has continued to use contact was purely out of habit.

She can now unleash her powers at any time, but the farther away she is, the less effective they become.

A gentle, life-giving force swept across the land, causing everything to grow. Green grass sprouted its first tips, and a few daisies and dandelions swayed gently.

The force pierced through their bodies, and the group broke free, letting out heart-wrenching coughs.

"What... happened?" Yao Yue asked, still shaken.

Gong Jingming shook his head, clearly he didn't know either.

He grabbed the Hundred Life Willow and, with great effort, managed to stand up from the ground, his legs almost completely limp.

This is not a mental attack; it is simply the natural fear of a weak creature towards a powerful one. Only courage can overcome this.

Miao Yin spat out the blood in her mouth, and Feng Chun's remaining meager strength quickly healed her wounds.

She let out a quick, low laugh, her blood-stained lips appearing bright red and inviting.

She remembered where she had seen Tu Hao look like this before.

That's when a danger premonition senses something absolutely terrifying, causing an overabundance of perception that makes the host unable to withstand the pressure...

—The way he saw Yan Gui capture the beautiful butterfly.

Miao Yin looked up at the horizon beyond Wolf Mountain.

The orange-red sunset came from afar, dyeing the sky inch by inch, transforming into a carpet of maple leaves, their veins clearly visible, like the veins of the earth.

But at some point, a patch of snow-white was smeared onto that bright red oil painting.

A huge white moth landed silently on the fence, its slender legs digging into the iron bars, revealing its pure white, cocoon-shaped body.

It leaned slightly forward, its two pairs of large wings covered in scale powder spread out, casting a large shadow on the hillside. With a gentle shake, the scale powder, stained with the bright red spots of the sunset, floated down.

Its head was furry, with a pale human face wrapped in snow-white filaments, and two soft tentacles protruding from its forehead, swaying in the air.

The giant moth suddenly opened its eyes, its pupils pure white. It silently raised its head and gazed at the humans in Wolf Mountain.

It was so quiet and docile.

It brings a quiet death to spring.

The seventh of the Ten Scarlet Calamities.

—A lone white moth in the wind.
