Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Bluffing Becomes Lame (Part 1)_1

Yesterday, when Chen Dalong led his team into Sunset Valley, Ye Feng had already noticed the opposition.

He knew that this bald, muscular man with a face full of horizontal flesh was the leader of that team.

Since the other party could muster such a squad and even bring firearms, they must hold some status and position in society.

Capturing him would undoubtedly bring substantial assistance to himself, and most importantly, allow him to have someone handle matters he couldn’t conveniently involve himself in during critical times.

Like stepping forward to protect his own family.

Of course, even though he had firmly decided to capture the opposition, safety measures were still necessary.

After all, there was always the possibility of betrayal before the other party’s loyalty reached 100%.

So, after some deliberation, he still decided to stay behind the scenes, at least until the other party’s loyalty reached 100%.

It wasn’t long before Ye Feng devised a plan and began issuing orders.

…

At this moment, Chen Dalong was running for his life when suddenly he slipped and fell to the ground with a thud.

Luckily, he reacted promptly, propping himself up with his elbow, and scrambled to his feet, not caring about his scraped skin, and continued running.

He was covered in bruises in many places, making it clear this was not the first or second time he had fallen.

But that wasn’t the most important thing; the most important was that he started to feel his legs growing weak and powerless.

Glancing backward, he saw the Mutated Wild Boar still rampaging and pursuing him, filling his heart with despair.

He didn’t know how much longer the Mutated Wild Boar could keep up, but he was well aware that he himself could not continue running for more than a couple of kilometers.

And yet, he was still more than a dozen kilometers away from the suburbs of Yang City, which simply deepened his despair.

He had already cursed his greed more than once in his heart, wondering why he had to take on such a dangerous mission.

He staggered through another dense forest and suddenly found the scene before him familiar.

Thump! Thump!

Just then, the muffled sound of footsteps arose.

The trees ahead shook, and an even larger figure than the Mutated Wild Boar emerged before him.

“It’s over!”

Chen Dalong stumbled, falling face-first to the ground.

But this time, he didn’t immediately get up; instead, he weakly collapsed onto the grass, his eyes filled with nothing but despair.

“Ahh!”

“Roar!”

The two massive roars pulled Chen Dalong back from the brink of his despair.

The scene he had envisioned, of being torn to pieces, did not occur.

Instead, the two colossal beings confronted each other, with him lying right in the middle.

Seeing this, Chen Dalong hurriedly got to his feet, his eyes once again alight with hope.

A silver lining had appeared in his dark cloud; this might be his only chance to escape.

But before he could make any move, the Mutated Buffalo made its move, taking just one step forward, and Chen Dalong felt as if he were about to suffocate.

The Mutated Buffalo was actively releasing its aura, a suppression of life hierarchy to creatures of lesser strength.

To those of the same Realm, however, it was a signal of provocation and a declaration of war.

Feeling the aura emitted by the Mutated Buffalo, the Mutated Wild Boar hesitated only slightly before it began to step back.

Despite its reluctance, the Mutated Wild Boar could sense that the other was a being of the same level as itself.

The opponent’s size was even more colossal, and it doubted it could win even at full strength, let alone now that it was gravely injured.

Watching the Mutated Wild Boar slowly back away, Chen Dalong’s face was unsure of what expression to show.

However, due to yesterday’s experience, he felt that facing a Mutated Buffalo was somehow preferable to facing a Mutated Wild Boar.

He took a deep breath and tried to smile, regardless of whether the creature could understand him or not, and said, “I’m sorry, I know this is your territory. I’ll leave right away.”

As he spoke, he began to step backward gradually.

He had already figured out what to do if the creature charged at him to knock him down; he would just drop to the ground and play dead.

Based on the encounters from the day before, he judged that by doing this, he had at least a fifty percent chance of survival.

“This is not a place where you can come and go as you please.”

A voice interrupted all of Chen Dalong’s thoughts.

This moment left him stunned; how could there be someone else here?

And the voice seemed to come from above?

As he looked up in confusion, he saw a huge predatory bird descending from the sky.

The creature folded its wings and stood on the ground, as tall as an adult and even more robust.

Especially its beak, which was immense and glinted coldly, as if two curved swords were merged together.

Standing in front of the creature, Chen Dalong involuntarily gulped.

He felt that it could peck him to death with a single bite.

However, when Chen Dalong got a clear look at the creature, his expression became one of mild astonishment. Despite some changes in appearance, he could still tell it was a Mutated Parrot.

Recalling the voice from the sky that came previously, his expression shifted from surprise to disbelief.

“You, you can talk?” Chen Dalong asked with slight stutter.

“Don’t you know that parrots are capable of speaking?” the Mutated Parrot said, tilting its head.

What Chen Dalong really wanted to ask was: how have you become sentient?

But the words at the tip of his tongue changed to, “Your wisdom is truly profound.”

“Enough flattery, it won’t work on me. The King wants to see you. Follow me,” the Mutated Parrot said, then started walking ahead like a human, leading the way with its bird claws.

The King?

These two words made Chen Dalong’s imagination run wild, further confirming that some Mutated Beings might truly have become sentient.

But no matter what he was thinking, in this situation, he had no choice but to follow, even if reluctantly.

However, just after he took two steps, a thunderous ‘thud’ came from behind him. Turning back, he saw the Mutated Buffalo also walking towards them.

Startled, Chen Dalong shivered and quickly said, “Lord Parrot, what about the buffalo behind us?”

“It’s not a problem; it’s also one of the King’s subordinates. Let’s go!” the Mutated Parrot replied indifferently.

This sent a shock through Chen Dalong’s heart.

It was one thing for this so-called King to have sheer individual strength.

But the situation was entirely different if that strength was coupled with command over an entire force.

They were not even on the same level.

At this moment, Chen Dalong felt his mouth go dry. He knew he was about to uncover a tremendous secret.

And for that very reason, his anxiety grew even more.

Because he had no idea what he was about to face.
