Chapter 574 Hunting Wolves

Wang Tao has been busy recently and has not entered the crack.

But Ding Yuqin and the others have basically been hunting monsters in the cracks. They explored outward from the Changhe base, and basically searched the cracks around them, and they reaped a lot of rewards.

The crack they entered now is the only place that Ding Yuqin and the others have not explored. Because there are many fifth-level lord mutant beasts in it, these fifth-level mutant beasts will cooperate with each other.

Although Ding Yuqin and the others are all fifth-level awakeners with extraordinary strength, the environment in the crack is not good for them. They are prone to accidents when fighting with this group of fifth-level lords.

They don't have to kill these monsters, there is no need to fight hard, just wait for Wang Tao to come. Why take risks when you can win?

And Wang Tao has said before that if you encounter a large number of fifth-level lords or unsolvable fifth-level lords, you can call him.

And Wang Tao still needs some fifth-level almighty crystal cores to be promoted to the sixth level, so it's just right, let's clean up the monsters here today.

Wang Tao led everyone and swaggered into the crack.

With Wang Tao around, everyone felt much more comfortable - because Wang Tao had cleared away all the black fog in the crack, and the effect of the night vision goggles in their hands was greatly enhanced.

This crack was layered like the one Wang Tao entered for the first time. However, the previous crack had only two layers, while this crack had at least three layers. This was the crack with the most layers that Ding Yuqin and the others had seen so far.

The group of fifth-level lords was on the third floor.

Since the monsters on the first and second floors had been cleared, Wang Tao and the others did not stay much and came to the third floor unimpeded.

The black fog on the third floor was naturally the thickest, but for Wang Tao, who was now powerful, it was naturally not a problem. He just waved his hand and cleared away the black fog.

At the moment of entering the third floor, Wang Tao faintly felt the breath of the fifth-level lord.

This was not because of how sharp his perception was. After all, the fifth-level lord was still some distance away from him. This was because there were more fifth-level lords, and they were all gathered together, emitting an amazing breath, so they could be felt from a long distance.

"So many lords gathered together, it's interesting..."

Wang Tao grinned. He could kill even the sixth-level disaster level, so the fifth-level lord would not move him. Even if there were many enemies, as long as the quantitative change did not lead to qualitative change, it would not be a problem for Wang Tao.

Not long after, Wang Tao saw the first fifth-level lord, which grinned at Wang Tao and his party.

This is a burly wolf with dark red hair and red pupils!

[HP: 1000000/1000000]

[Mana: 200000/200000]

[Level: Fifth-level Lord]

[Impurities in the body: 50%]

[Awakening: Dark Night Body]

[Dark Night Body: All basic attributes are improved in all directions, dark attribute defense is greatly improved, and attacks have dark attribute damage]

Seeing the appearance and attributes of this red wolf, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

The appearance of the red wolf seems to be in the same style as the mutant leopard that Wang Tao had recruited before - both are red and black, and look ferocious.

Moreover, the awakening of this red wolf is exactly the same as that of the mutant leopard, both are the awakening of [Dark Night Body]!

However, their blood volume is different. The previous leopards all had 500,000 blood, while this mutant wolf has 1 million blood, which is exactly doubled.

Wang Tao had communicated with those leopards before, and they all had no memories of their childhood, which was not normal at first glance... But those leopards had normal brains. After Wang Tao's coercion and inducement, they followed Wang Tao obediently to the Changhe base.

And this mutant red wolf in front of him...

Wang Tao could not feel any wisdom from its eyes, and some were violent!

"This wolf is a little bit wrong..."

Wang Tao immediately reminded.

When Ding Yuqin told him about the situation here, he was still a little entangled, whether to kill all these mutant beasts or trick them back to the base...

Killing the mutant red wolf will naturally get the crystal core, but if you trick them back to the base and make them work for the base like the mutant leopard, that is also a good choice.

But now, Wang Tao feels that there is no need to be entangled, because the eyes of these mutant wolves are too crazy, and it seems that there is no way to communicate.

But this is just Wang Tao's guess, he is still ready to try.

So, looking at the mutant red wolf with bared teeth, Wang Tao popped out his mental power and prepared to try to communicate with it.

But when Wang Tao's mental power came into contact with the mutant red wolf, his face suddenly changed!

The mutant red wolf's brain does not have the consciousness of a normal creature, only endless tyrannical aura!

After Wang Tao's mental power came into contact with these tyrannical auras, he felt like his head was pierced by a needle! These tyrannical auras quickly attacked him along his mental power!

If Wang Tao is contaminated by this tyrannical aura, there is a possibility of assimilation!

Although Wang Tao felt that his mental power was strong enough to withstand this level of mental attack and would not become a monster like Red Wolf who lost his mind, there was no need for Wang Tao to take risks. He immediately cut off his mental power!

Huh——

The loss of some mental power made Wang Tao subconsciously take a breath, but it was not a big deal.

"Wang Tao, are you okay?"

While Ding Yuqin and others were talking, they quickly surrounded Wang Tao in the middle to prevent the mutant red wolf from sneaking attacks.

However, the mutated red wolf did not attack Wang Tao, but turned around and ran away.

Wang Tao did not chase, he immediately said to everyone:

"There is a big problem with this red wolf - it seems to have no consciousness of its own! In other words, its consciousness is a violent ocean! As long as this violent ocean can touch my mental power, it will rush towards me directly. , I can’t escape, so I can only forcibly disconnect my mental power to prevent it from being affected... I can’t communicate with it at all..."

Wang Tao told everyone what had just happened.

Everyone frowned after hearing this. Without their own consciousness, is it still a mirror?

They don't understand what's going on. But what is certain is that Wang Tao will not be able to receive a younger brother this time.

"Let's go inside and take a look at the other mutated red wolves."

Wang Tao had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure yet.

Not long after, Wang Tao came to a stone forest and saw the mutant red wolf again. But this time it’s not just one, but a whole bunch of them!

At a quick glance, there are at least forty of them!

These red wolves are all fifth-level lords!

This was the first time that Wang Tao saw so many lords of the same rank together. They were all exactly the same in attributes, appearance, and even their violent eyes, as if they were carved from the same mold.

…

This group of mutated red wolves came over silently and slowly surrounded Wang Tao and others. But there was no direct attack, as if he was looking for an opportunity to make a move.

The auras belonging to the fifth-level lords on them spread out without reservation, impacting Wang Tao and his party.

Ding Yuqin and others looked serious.

"What a strong breath..."

"This number is more than the last time we came here! There were only a dozen last time... Then this either increased after we left, or it was because we didn't encounter the large wolf pack when we came..."

"..."

Several people subconsciously looked at Wang Tao.

Wang Tao was a little surprised when he saw the number of red wolves, but he was not panicked.

Wang Tao had some guesses about the identities of those mutant leopards before, but he was not sure. Now seeing the appearance of these red wolves, Wang Tao felt that his guess might be right——

"These mutant beasts are probably cloned!"

Wang Tao whispered.

Except for their different consciousnesses, the leopards were almost identical in other aspects. Wang Tao couldn't tell who was who. The appearance and attributes of these red wolves are exactly the same. Although the red wolves seem to have no consciousness and only instinct, they are not conscious... In addition, those leopards have lost the memory of their childhood...

Wang Tao has reason to guess that these mutant beasts were cloned! Otherwise there is no way to explain why they are all the same.

When Wang Tao talks about "cloning", he does not mean that it is artificially cloned. Rather, these mutated leopards and mutated red wolves did not appear under natural conditions, but appeared after some kind of interference or manipulation!

Those who can perform this kind of control may be humans, or they may be some kind of intelligent creatures...

Wang Tao feels that the latter is more likely. After all, it is the end of the world and human life is very difficult. No one should have the technology and ability to clone a monster of this level.

Of course, there is another possibility - these mutated leopards and mutated red wolves are test subjects of certain human clones before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, the test subjects mutated...

Anyway, these mutant beasts are definitely influenced or controlled by some kind of force! Otherwise there is no way to explain why they are exactly the same.

"clone!"

Others were shocked when they heard this.

They didn't subconsciously think about cloning, because how awesome the technology would be to clone this thing? It shouldn't be possible...

Wang Tao obviously saw what they were thinking, so he spoke out again:

"The ones who clone them are not necessarily humans, and this technology is not necessarily called cloning... Anyway, you just know the general meaning - these mutant beasts are not naturally produced."

"..."

No one spoke, but they all felt uncomfortable.

Suppose there is such a person, or something, secretly cloning these dangerous creatures... This is obviously not a good thing!

"Let's deal with these red wolves first."

Wang Tao looked at the group of mutated red wolves roaring at them and said.

The coming of the apocalypse itself is a very mysterious thing. No matter how many mysterious things appear in the apocalypse, it is not surprising. He will not get entangled in this kind of thing and has to find the so-called mastermind behind the scenes.

All he knew was that this group of mutated red wolves couldn't communicate, so he had no choice but to kill them!

But after all, these are forty fifth-level mutated red wolf lords, and they are already qualified for "quantitative change leads to qualitative change." No matter how strong Wang Tao is, he cannot take it lightly.

howl--

This group of mutant red wolves obviously couldn't wait any longer. After howling one after another, they suddenly rushed towards Wang Tao and others from all directions at the same time. Their formation may seem chaotic, but there are rules within it. Each wolf has its own goal!

Seeing the menacing wolf, everyone clenched their weapons and felt a little nervous.

Wang Tao's expression remained unchanged. He raised the sharp blade and flames ignited from his body.

brush--

The orange flame light instantly illuminated the underground space, and also illuminated the ferocious faces of the mutated red wolves.

At the same time, the split cloak behind Wang Tao also ignited flames. It quickly grew in size and directly blocked everyone.

All the wolf attacks were directed at the Split Cloak, and the Split Cloak's defense after activation was extremely high, and it directly withstood the attacks of more than forty red wolves!

However, Wang Tao didn't like passive defense, so he quickly put away his cloak. Ding Yuqin and the others' charged attack hit the red wolf instantly when the cloak was retracted. Wang Tao also struck the wolves with a shock wave burning with flames.

Ouch——

The wolves suddenly howled like ghosts, and a large number of damage figures appeared above their heads.

After a simple confrontation, Wang Tao was unharmed, but the wolves were all injured.

Wang Tao's face still didn't change much, which was as he expected. Ding Yuqin and the others let out a long sigh of relief. Although there are a lot of mutant red wolves, they can fight with Wang Tao here!

The wolves were hit one after another, and their formation seemed to be a little chaotic. But it only took them a few seconds to regain their formation.

"Although their brains are violent and they have no normal consciousness, they have a rich sense of combat, and cooperation is like instinct... Could it be that this is a specially cultivated biological weapon?"

Wang Tao was thinking in his heart, but his hands did not stop.

He waved the giant blade in his right hand, and one blast after another of flames hit the wolves. His eyes glowed red, and two high-temperature rays shot at the mutated red wolf without restraint.

At the same time, he suddenly threw the fireball charged in his left hand, and with a bang, the wolves seemed to be set on fire. The wolves howled, and the smell of barbecue floated in the wind.

Wang Tao's attack methods are basically range attacks. Faced with this kind of group attack, his attacks will not be wasted.

"So strong!"

Xiang Hongbin admired for a while.

I thought that after the fifth level, the gap between him and Wang Tao would narrow, but in fact, the gap between them seems to be getting wider...

"It's really strong!"

Everyone nodded.

However, they didn't have time to look at Wang Tao, as they were all attacking the wolves.

The wolves seemed to have been badly beaten by Wang Tao, but they were not dead yet. As long as they are alive, they cannot take it lightly.

With Wang Tao and a dozen fifth-level awakeners firing on all cylinders, just a few minutes later, the stone forest turned into a sea of ​​fire, with dozens of wolf corpses lying at Wang Tao's feet.

Looking at the trophy packages on the ground, Wang Tao extinguished the flames on his body, then quickly put away the trophies, with a bright smile on his face.

The fifth-level all-powerful crystal core he needs to advance to the sixth level is enough!

But now is not the time to advance to the sixth level. In addition to taking a look at the trophies of these mutated red wolves, we also need to explore this third level.

Ding Yuqin and the others were blocked by wolves before, so they did not continue to explore the third floor. Since Wang Tao is here, he must explore it again.
