Chapter 250: The Deserted Fulan Joins the Ranks!
Outside Hope City, in an unknown location.
Fulan stood on the trunk of a tree, gazing into the distance.
It must be said that returning outside the city walls had made Fulan feel like an individual reconnecting to a main system after being offline for a long time, brimming with an inexplicable excitement.
Of course, the powerful biological field that permeated every corner of the outside world constantly gnawed at Fulan’s thoughts. If it weren’t for Lin Qingliu’s earlier intervention—using his blood to bestow blessings upon her—Fulan would have likely reverted to her original form, becoming a mindless extraordinary beast once more.
Throughout her journey, Fulan moved as effortlessly as a fish in water. Whether thirsty or hungry, she could extract the nutrients she needed from the surrounding plants.
These plants did not react aggressively, partly because of the unique markings on Fulan, which allowed her to pass through the biological field’s recognition.
Moreover, Fulan always sought out deep-rooted, towering trees for sustenance, and these ancient giants, with their vast resources, hardly minded sparing a little for her.
Thus, the top hunter of Hope City ventured forth, documenting her findings as she went, eventually reaching a place no human team had ever set foot in.
Yet, compared to her current location, what lay ahead excited Fulan even more.
Before her stretched a vast, flat clearing encircled by trees, and on the ground lay rows upon rows of—
Life pods.
Hundreds? Thousands? Even tens of thousands? Fulan’s vision blurred momentarily.
Half-buried in the soil, the life pods lay with their viewing windows facing upward.
Each viewing window had been shattered, and from the circular openings emerged thin, white threads.
These threads gradually thickened as they intertwined and wove together, eventually vanishing into the earth, leading to an unknown destination.
While Fulan felt a surge of excitement, a faint sense of dread crept into her instincts.
She realized this discovery was monumental, perhaps even more significant than the mysterious disappearance of the rockets and life pods she had encountered before.
Her instincts urged her to move closer, to delve deeper into the mystery, but an external force—a primal instinct—resisted the impulse.
Fulan could roam freely outside Hope City only as long as she did not provoke or act against the will of the mycelium.
Now, Fulan understood that if she forced her way into that clearing, countless strands of white mycelium would burst from the ground and ensnare her.
In such a scenario, even if she could summon Lin Qingliu to her side, she feared she would already be torn apart by then.
After careful consideration, Fulan decided not to tempt fate by defying the will of the mycelium.
After all, she was merely a scout, and she had only one life to spare.
Just as she tightened her claws around the bark and began her swift descent, a towering figure that had not been there before appeared before her.
A chill ran through the little cat’s heart.
Fulan lifted her head and saw a creature dozens of meters long, its body cloaked in dark green scales.
She recognized this creature from the visions granted to her in her dreams; it was called… an alligator.
"Hmph!"
The colossal alligator extraordinary beast exhaled sharply, the force of its breath sending Fulan tumbling backward.
From that single, unintentional attack, Fulan grasped the vast difference in their strength.
This alligator extraordinary beast was a true Fourth Level entity.
Such a colossal size clearly could not have emerged directly from a cocoon on the tree trunk; who knows how many extraordinary beasts it had devoured to grow so large…
Faced with such an adversary, Fulan ultimately chose to follow her heart’s desire.
Upon seeing the extraordinary beast before her quickly bow its head in submission, the alligator extraordinary beast’s mood seemed to improve slightly.
It let out a low roar at Fulan, and from that instinctive sound, she deciphered the alligator’s message:
"Deserter, caught you now! Get to the back and follow quietly; if you run again, I’ll take you down."
The enormous alligator didn’t care whether Fulan understood the weight of its mighty roar; it tossed its head and continued crawling forward.
The alligator’s physical abilities were terrifyingly strong, lifting its massive body high as it simply walked over Fulan’s head.
Watching the patterned white scales rush past, Fulan felt a surge of joy from surviving.
It seemed she would have to wait a bit longer to contact her master; after all, she didn’t know if the slight fluctuations in the biological field from her attempt to reach Lin Qingliu could be sensed by the giant Fourth Level Extraordinary Beast ahead.
Just as Fulan planned to obediently follow behind the alligator, a bird-like low roar reached her ears once again.
With her previous experience, this time Fulan easily decoded the message contained in the roar:
"What level do you think you are to stand in front of me? Get to the back."
Fulan lifted her head and saw several giant birds folding their wings, obediently trailing behind the massive alligator extraordinary beast.
These Third Level Avian Creatures had some with bald heads, some with white feathers, and others with bulging heads topped with white fur (two heads).
Fulan quickly grasped her current situation; much like the time she had just been born, she had coincidentally mixed in with a group that was growing in the midst of a beast tide.
The good news was that following this long line of extraordinary beasts would lead her to the way back to Hope City.
The bad news was that Fulan had some psychological shadows regarding the city defense cannons and heavy machine guns.
Seeing the Giant Bird’s claws about to slam down, Fulan hurriedly chose to admit defeat and ran towards the back of the group.
Fulan already had a certain guess about the formation of these extraordinary beasts.
Since the Fourth Level extraordinary beast led at the front, and behind it were some Third Level Avian Creatures, there must be a large swarm of insect-like extraordinary beasts and a bunch of ordinary animals behind, serving as cannon fodder from the Green Cocoon.
Fulan thought for a moment and continued walking back; sure enough, she spotted some Second Level insect-like extraordinary beasts that looked quite appetizing.
After being bestowed a blessing, Fulan’s way of thinking and aesthetic sense were clearly more aligned with humans, and instinctively, she felt a bit disgusted at seeing these bugs magnified several times.
Moving further back, the little cat finally found her own group.
It was a pack of cannon fodder, typically made up of X-shaped extraordinary beasts with n heads (n, 4n) legs (X being common mammals).
The murky red light in these monsters’ eyes brought back memories for Fulan, as that feeling of being confused and helpless washed over her.
Ahead, three wolves howled loudly at Fulan, and this time, she finally chose not to back down again—
This cat is a proud Second Level being; if I can’t fight off other monsters, how can I not handle you?
