emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this Grand Principal Jiang, Yu Jin felt both gratitude and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sewage river treatment campaign—he was the one who supported Yu

environmental initiative, and the later chemical factory cleanup, were all started by this principal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No exaggeration—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Principal Jiang’s help, Yu Jin wouldn’t have managed to break through to Tier Nine before the traversal so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many times—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A change in identity or

Xiaoming—had already crossed the mountains to the northern part of A308 Area for several days now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Yu Jin had left a Coordinate Imprint on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wonder how many new friends Xiaoming’s made?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The more friends, the more crystals for me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin muttered quietly, as

mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen or so enormous Mutant Beasts were moving in groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In midair, several figures shrouded in black mist floated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wuu—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friends!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Almost there, we’re almost there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoming let out strange cries as it led the way in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these past few days,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had almost turned into a \"social turtle\" in the A308 half-year area!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Infected Bodies or Mutant Beasts...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever it came across any, it enthusiastically greeted them, made friends, then told them—it had discovered a Tier Eight Pollution Source!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During all this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turtle took quite a few beatings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for its thick shell, it would’ve been covered in wounds by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-Tier Mutant Beasts and Infected Bodies have super strong territorial instincts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many times,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turtle didn’t even get to ramble before attacks came flying its way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old turtle,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where exactly is that Tier Eight

couldn’t help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Almost, almost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just up ahead, real close!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoming replied with assurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Tier Eight Pollution Source didn’t exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Low-Tier Mutant Beasts can level up by \"eating humans\" or \"eating Mutated Beast Meat\" to gain energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But High-Tier Mutant Beasts need Pollution Sources to ascend further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pollution Sources are exceedingly rare and secretive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most Mutant Beasts, even these Tier Seven and Tier Eight ones, as well as Infected Bodies, can hardly hold onto a Pollution Source by themselves—much less a prized Tier Eight Pollution Source!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old turtle, you’ve said the same thing dozens of times now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you tricking us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mutant Beasts aren’t stupid; their intelligence rivals humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoming’s lies, frankly, sucked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temptation of a Tier Eight Pollution Source was too strong, plus they couldn’t fathom what power or guts a mere Tier Seven turtle could possibly have to deceive or ambush them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Almost, almost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just over this mountain and we’ll find it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoming hung its head, whimpering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pack of Mutant Beasts trailing behind, although dissatisfied, ultimately couldn’t resist the lure of the Tier Eight Pollution Source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoming in the lead, body massive, halted for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sensed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spatial mark on its head was transmitting a wave of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bzz—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just an instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin appeared atop Turtle’s huge head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So lively?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin took in the scene, momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen High-Tier Mutant Beasts, all Tier Seven and Tier Eight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even some Infected Bodies in the sky, looked like Tier Six and Tier Seven...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft, and a Tier Eight Infected Body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin’s eyes flashed with excitement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wuu wuu—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his feet, Turtle let out a series of whimpers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if telling of the recent beatings and grievances it suffered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin, though not fluent in beast language, could discern Xiaoming’s intent through spiritual perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoming, you did a great

reward!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he said that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoming’s massive body began trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wuu—hoo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It called out excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of Mutant Beasts and Infected Bodies stared at the sudden appearance of Yu Jin, first in confusion, then erupting in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn you, old turtle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re working with humans?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t finish their
