A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 813 - 799: Beast Puppet

As Vina spoke, the jeep had already stopped.

Baiyu was still somewhat weak at the moment, focusing on recovering in the vehicle, and Wang Shenghua noticed this, so she was being particularly cautious.

If Baiyu encountered danger while not at full combat strength, it would be quite troublesome.

Her strength wasn't sufficient to handle unexpected situations.

Originally, she thought that the combat power in the Yellow Sand Realm wasn't high, believing that a world still focused on guns and cannons couldn't have a high combat value.

However, she was clearly wrong now. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The combat power of the Yellow Sand Realm was not only high but absurdly so. The battle between Cres and Baiyu made her realize just how terrifying the combat value of this world was.

If she faced Cres.

She might not last even ten rounds.

A company's elite cadre could reach such a level, not to mention other even more formidable figures.

At present.

The place where Vina stopped the car was desolate, with all trees dead and the ground covered with withered leaves.

There was a sense of bleakness.

She and Aphel were the first to step out of the car, with Baiyu and Wang Shenghua following closely behind. The four bypassed the front withered forest, and the outline of an old-era city unfolded before their eyes.

Seeing this place, Baiyu and Wang Shenghua suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

After a brief observation.

The two suddenly realized that this was the city ruins they had visited before, the territory contested by Wildfire and the company.

Perhaps "contested" wasn't quite accurate.

It should be said that it was where the Wildfire Resistance Army was secretly stealing resources right under the company's nose.

"What might be here?"

Baiyu looked at Aphel with curiosity, her body still exuding a highly aggressive aura due to the aftereffects of the Descent of the Demon King.

Aphel said, "Treasure, buried treasure from the old era. There are two Genetic Primordials here, they are the ancestors of mutants, powerful mutants existing since before the great catastrophe of the old era.

They possess strength above Level One Mutants, called Perfect Mutants."

Hearing Aphel say this, Wang Shenghua didn't show joy but rather hesitated.

Cres, the Level Two Mutant, was already so strong.

Then how terrifying could Perfect Mutants, who were above Level One, possibly be?

Completely unbeatable.

"Don't worry, those two Genetic Primordials are very friendly, and their state is somewhat special, they will not become our enemies.

Our enemy.

Is another mutant who gained the power of a Genetic Primordial, whose strength is similar to ours and within our range to handle."

Vina explained, "We must kill it because it is the one that led to us being captured by the company.

It is a despicable traitor.

It must face the punishment it deserves."

Hearing Vina say this, Wang Shenghua finally relaxed, but still had some trepidation about this city.

After all.

She had the shadow of being badly beaten by Baiyu here.

"Let's go."

Aphel looked at the sunrise gradually emerging on the horizon and stepped into this old, decaying, silent city.

However.

At the moment she stepped into the city, a furious roar echoed from deep within the city ruins.

This roar seemed like a declaration of sovereignty.

After it rang out.

Roars arose from all directions in the city, however, these roars sounded more like responses, like subjects responding to their monarch.

Aphel and Vina weren't surprised.

"It has already turned this place into its domain, and once we set foot in, we will be attacked by it.

Thus, the journey ahead is not safe.

However.

We must reclaim everything here. If you can help us, we will give you a Level One Genetic Elixir after success."

Vina formally invited Baiyu and Wang Shenghua.

However.

This kind of vague promise.

Had hardly any appeal to the two seasoned ones.

After success.

If success were to truly come, who would care about these things?

"Let's see first, if the opponent is too strong, we won't stay to fight to the death." Wang Shenghua said to Aphel.

Aphel nodded, indicating understanding.

The four thus reached an initial agreement and then began walking towards the depths of the city.

The old-era city filled Baiyu with nostalgia.

Here was very similar to cities on Earth, in the layout of the city, the scenery on the streets, and the style of the buildings, all quite akin to cities on Earth.

The four found a room that was relatively clean.

Of course.

This is only relative.

The ground floor of the room was covered by weeds, ivy, and various plants, while the upper floors were much better.

Although all the furniture had turned into debris.

At least the room was still intact and not drafty, despite many cracks, it didn't affect habitation.

Vina took out instant food from the trunk.

This was what she had grabbed from the company while escaping earlier, and it was of great use now.

Since Blood Qi couldn't be replenished.

Baiyu and Wang Shenghua had to rely on eating to maintain their energy, and they needed a large amount of food.

Food in the Yellow Sand Realm, unlike on Canglan Star, didn't contain Blood Qi.

So they could only compensate quantity for quality.

A few days ago at the inn, Baiyu and Wang Shenghua ate so much that the innkeeper almost drove them out, severely depleting the inn's food supply.

And Vina hadn't anticipated the two's appetite.

The compressed food she brought along was initially planned to last four people for three days, but a single meal consumed a quarter of it.

This was with Baiyu and Wang Shenghua controlling their food intake.

"We'll need to go out and find some food."

Aphel calmly suggested after the meal, but from her twitching eye corners, it was clear her heart wasn't so calm.

As they discussed how to find food, Vina interrupted them: "No need to discuss where to find it, our food has already come to us."

Outside the window.

The once peaceful street had now quietly filled with a mass of beasts of unknown origin.

These beasts had crimson eyes, and none made a sound, silently surrounding the building, including some unusually shaped creatures.

It was evident these beasts were being controlled by someone.

Otherwise, there'd be no such coordination.

"They're coming up, this is definitely the work of the Beast Puppet, we must withstand this wave."

Vina said gravely.

The Beast Puppet.

Was the mutant who had also gained the power of a Genetic Primordial, betraying Aphel and Vina.

After the two test subjects broke free.

Their first intention was to return and clean house, indicating how much they hated the Beast Puppet.

"I'll take care of it."

As the beasts approached, Aphel didn't hesitate, jumping directly out of the room's window. Vina, due to lack of strong combat ability, stayed behind in the room.
