Chapter 55

About six kilometers away from Ye Xuan's location, a five-person team was walking through the glacier canyon of Kunlun Mountain. They stepped on special non-slip boots, leaving dots of footprints on the crystal-clear ice.

"Although my home is in the town at the foot of the mountain, to be honest, this is the first time I have gone deep into this position."

The young woman in the team wearing goggles stopped, the white air exhaled condensed into frost on the lenses, and she looked at the surrounding scenery with an amazed look.

"This kind of natural beauty that has not been uniquely developed by humans is really too beautiful to be in the human world."

The middle-aged man leading the team chuckled when he heard this.

"This is just because spiritual energy has recovered now. In the past, how would we dare to go deep into this position?"

This five-person team was a member of the "Kunlun Branch" of the Tianshuju. Because the range of the Kunlun Mountains was too large and the number of wild animals living in it was too large, different areas had special "Kunlun Branches" responsible for monitoring the abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations in their respective areas.

They wore uniform Tianshuju uniforms and wore the snow peak emblem symbolizing the Kunlun branch on their left arms.

"Captain Qin, according to the comparison of spiritual energy concentration at different times, the spiritual energy concentration in our area has risen by another 10%."

"But the strange thing is that the spiritual energy fluctuation curve inside the area is very strange."

"For a period of time, a large amount of spiritual energy was gathering in one place, as if something was absorbing spiritual energy."

Lin Rui looked at the detection instrument in his hand, his tone a bit strange.

It was no problem for something to absorb spiritual energy. After all, there were so many creatures in the Kunlun Mountains, and many mutated and then autonomously absorbed spiritual energy, which was normal.

Didn't they also awaken special abilities and instinctively absorb spiritual energy every day?

But no matter how much they absorbed, it wouldn't cause such an obvious vision of spiritual energy gathering in one position; just how much could it absorb to present such an obvious spiritual energy fluctuation curve?

Captain Qin touched the stubble on his chin after hearing his words.

"Is it a powerful mutated beast that was born? Or some kind of medicinal herb or plant that transformed into a heavenly treasure?"

He could only think of these two possibilities. It couldn't be that some talented person with special abilities was practicing inside, right?

Although the spiritual energy concentration in the Kunlun Mountains was higher than in the city, it was not necessarily much higher. If it really didn't work, practicing in the village at the foot of the mountain would also work. Who would risk their lives to step into the Kunlun Mountains just to practice?

"The possibility of a mutated beast is greater. If it's a heavenly treasure, it will be fixed in one position."

"This one has traces of movement."

Lin Rui also leaned more towards the fact that a powerful mutated beast was born in their area, because he had detected this special spiritual energy fluctuation more than once, and it had happened in the past few days, and they were all in different positions.

No matter what, heavenly treasures couldn't grow legs and run by themselves. The possibility of a mutated beast was obviously greater.

As for humans, Lin Rui and Captain Qin, like the others, did not suspect this possibility.

Even the possibility of Myriad Realms treasures was greater than humans.

Captain Qin just wanted to answer, but suddenly his expression tightened. Behind the snow piles around, seven or eight pairs of eyes glowing with faint light slowly walked out; it was the mutated wild wolf that Ye Xuan had encountered before.

However, unlike the one he encountered, these mutated wild wolves were only larger than ordinary wolves in size, and their skin was also normal gray-brown, not as special as the mutated wild wolf he encountered.

And seeing this group of mutated wild wolves, these five people were not nervous, but instead joked with each other.

"Yo, we walked for so long before, and didn't encounter a few mutated beasts; I didn't expect that so many would come at once; and it looks like they treat us as prey."

Captain Qin said with interest, and then looked at the others.

"How to say?"

"Everyone takes one, and the rest is whoever grabs it?"

"Captain Qin, you have the nerve to say this."

"You are the captain, aren't you going to show us a hand?"

"Elemental special abilities are only awakened by a very small number of people in our entire Tianshuju; not to mention that the one you awakened is the rock system, just like Master Zhong."

Bai Xiao, who was standing next to Captain Qin, blinked mischievously and said to him with a smile.

"Yes, Captain Qin, let us see your strength."

"It's just a few mutated wild wolves. If Captain Qin makes a move, won't he crush them easily?"

"What kind of grade, dare to make a move on the team led by Captain Qin?"

With one taking the lead, the other four also teased Captain Qin one after another.

"If you want me to die, just say it."

"My rock-type special ability that summons a few stones can only deal with two mutated wild wolves at most. If you give them all to me, do you think I am Master Zhong?"

Qin Yue said angrily after hearing their words.

The surrounding mutated wolf pack seemed to be angered by their relaxed attitude. The leading mutated wild wolf let out a long howl, and seven figures pounced at the same time.

"You young people..."

Qin Yue sighed and pressed his hands hard on the ground. The frozen soil in front suddenly bulged, forming a two-meter-high stone wall, blocking the three wolves that pounced first.

"Alright, everyone pick one to hone yourself."

"Listen to orders, Captain Qin!"

Su Yan was the first to rush out. Her figure suddenly became blurred, flickering in the snow like water mist.

The special ability she awakened was "Atomization", which was somewhat similar to elemental special abilities, but strictly speaking, it was not, because she could only atomize purely, but could not control the mist.

However, in the process of atomization, she could be immune to all physical attacks, similar to elementalization; it was just that the time of "atomization" depended on the amount of spiritual energy in her body. Currently, unless she consumed all her spiritual energy at once, she usually only maintained it for three seconds.

But three seconds was enough for her to fight mutated beasts.

Her body nimbly circled behind a wild wolf, and the spiritual energy dagger in her hand accurately stabbed into the back of the mutated wild wolf's neck.

Shi Gang laughed and hugged the pouncing wild wolf. His arm muscles swelled by a circle. Possessing the "Giant Strength" special ability, he could currently be said to be the one with the strongest performance in the team besides Qin Yue.

In the state of special ability, he could easily lift objects weighing two tons.

The mutated wild wolf was like a large doll in his hands, being swung around and smashed onto the ice, and the ice layer immediately cracked with spider-web-like patterns.

Bai Xiao's figure pulled out afterimages on the snow. His special ability was similar to Shi Gang's, but Shi Gang enhanced strength, and he enhanced speed.

The sharp dagger slashed across the body of the mutated wild wolf one after another under the speed increase.

Lin Rui pushed his glasses and stood still.

His special ability was different from theirs, it just gave him a pair of good eyes, allowing him to see the opponent's attack trajectory in advance through the special ability.

Although there was no means of attack, he could always avoid the wolf claws with the smallest movement, and occasionally give warnings to his teammates.
