Chapter 16

At the foot of the towering mountain.

The sound of a car engine could be heard.

As it got closer, the sound grew louder.

A few minutes later, a camouflaged special armored vehicle pushed through the grass and arrived in front of the Spiritual Team’s vehicle.

The driver, Old Wang, who was in charge of fetching the members of the Spiritual Team, jumped out of the car agilely.

He rubbed his eyes and observed the approaching vehicle.

The car had camouflage print with a logo printed on the bonnet.

“This is the symbol of the Mutant Association.”

It was a pattern of the sun with a golden shield intersecting with a black hammer. Around it was engraved the Protector’s Declaration of Country M.

This was a special symbol that symbolized protection and killing. Almost everyone in Country M recognized it.

It was the Mutant Association that represented the official organization that dealt with the matters of mutants and protected the citizens of Country M!

Why was the Mutant Association here?

Rumble!

The sound of the armored vehicle’s engine was like thunder. It stopped a few meters away from the Spiritual Assault Team’s vehicle.

Victor Li was a smart person, so the chauffeur he hired was definitely not an ordinary person.

The driver, Old Wang, wasn’t a mutant, but he had served in the special forces for a few years. Therefore, his reflexes were quite fast.

When he saw someone approaching, he immediately reached for the gun at his waist.

He didn’t think that the person driving the Mutant Association’s car was definitely someone from the Mutant Association.

Perhaps it was a bandit in disguise? Or perhaps it was a demonic creature that escaped from the dungeon?

After all, some high-level demonic creatures were similar in size to humans and had evolved to have a certain level of intelligence. It was not impossible for them to pretend to be humans.

Just as Old Wang was cautiously aiming at the vehicle, the door of the armored vehicle was opened.

A man and a woman stepped out of the car.

One of them was a middle-aged man wearing a camouflage uniform and holding a cigar in his hand. From time to time, he would put it to his mouth and puff out the smoke, his face full of enjoyment and sluggishness.

The other woman was about 20 years old. She had exquisite makeup and long golden hair. She held a camera in her hand and started taking pictures of her surroundings as soon as she got off the car.

After they got off the car, they observed for a while and walked towards Old Wang.

When they saw the black teleportation portal, the two of them looked at each other. Then, the device in the woman’s hand sounded an alarm.

“This is the third team of the Mutant Association, located southeast of City H, in the 701 area. A Grade B+Dungeon teleportation portal has appeared… Requesting support!”

The two of them found the driver of the Spiritual Team, Old Wang. After understanding the situation, they called the Mutant Association to report.

“I repeat… discovered a Grade B+teleportation portal. According to the investigation, there is already an assault team that has entered. Spiritual Team, Grade C+… The exact situation is still under investigation!”

Soon, they received the latest order.

“Since an assault team has already entered, let’s wait and see for now. From now on, all of you will be on standby… If anything happens, report it to the higher-ups!”

“Alright, understood!”

The dungeon originated from the alternate dimension. To put it simply, it was a crack between the real world and the unknown dimension. The teleportation portal was equivalent to a passageway connecting the two.

In this way, the demonic creatures could enter the real world through the passageway. Of course, the mutants could also enter through the passageway to hunt the demonic creatures. The key here was the usage of the teleportation portal.

When mutants entered the teleportation portal, the portal would close temporarily. People outside could not enter, and the mutants inside could not leave either. The only way was to kill all the monsters in the dungeon, or kill all the mutants. Only then would the portal open again.

When they heard that a team had entered the teleportation portal, the Mutant Association didn’t take action immediately. Even if they sent someone to deal with it, they couldn’t open the teleportation portal.

Meanwhile, the members of the Spiritual Team and Ye Tianyu were still unaware of the situation outside.

…

The members of Spiritual Team set off.

One of the team members walking in front suddenly realized something and hurriedly reminded the other team members to be careful.

“We’ve discovered something. Everyone, stay alert!”

After they left the pit where the giant snake was killed, they walked for about 10 minutes in the passageway before arriving at an empty square. Not far away, there were palaces of various sizes.

“These are the corpses of demonic creatures?!”

Victor Li led his team out of the tunnel. When he saw the ground full of broken corpses, he was stunned.

The rest of the team members were stunned as well, especially when they saw the tall skeleton leader’s corpse. Everyone couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

Tsk tsk!

“Oh my god! Is this hell on earth? Why are there so many demonic corpses?”

“These monsters are all Grade C! The leader of the demonic creatures is actually a Grade B!”

“D*mn! Which powerful mutant did this? It’s unbelievable.”

Even if the entire Spiritual Team were to face off against a monster of this level, they would definitely die. However, someone actually managed to kill these powerful monsters before them.

More importantly, it had only been an hour since they entered the dungeon. Who could exterminate the creatures in such a short time?

???

Everyone was confused!

The scene before their eyes was extremely tragic.

There were broken corpses, deformed weapons, and the decapitated demonic leader…

All of this shook everyone’s hearts. It was as if a torrential wave had drowned them, causing them to enter a dazed state for a moment!

This was especially so for the demonic leader. It had already reached Grade B, and such a demonic creature would usually possess powerful skills. Even so, its head was still beheaded…

Just think about it, the person who killed him had to be very powerful in order to do so!

A Grade B?

A Grade A?

Or a Grade S Mutant King?

Captain Victor Li, who was the first to come back to his senses, stepped forward to examine the traces of the battle, his expression constantly changing.

After a long time, he slowly exhaled.

All the powerful mutant assault teams in City H flashed across his mind, but he eliminated them one by one.

Though there was indeed a team that could kill these monsters, they could not possibly appear here. After discovering the teleportation portal, he had sent people to guard it. No one could enter the dungeon ahead of them.

Suddenly, his gaze froze. He remembered that they weren’t the only ones who entered the dungeon. There were two other people in the dungeon.

They were Li Qingqing and Ye Tianyu, who had disappeared from the start.

Of course, he knew Li Qingqing very well. She was a Grade C healing power possessor, but she didn’t have any offensive power. Besides, she had always been timid. It would be a miracle if she didn’t get scared by those creatures.

No matter how one looked at it, the person who killed the demon could not be her.

There was only one possibility left.

“Ye Tianyu!” Victor Li locked his target person onto him.

The first time he met him at the Mutant Association, he felt that the young man was very mysterious.

Furthermore, he had seen Ye Tianyu loitering around the testing area. At that time, he had doubted Ye Tianyu’s rank. Now, it seemed that his guess back then was correct.

“Let’s go! Let’s go meet that powerful mutant master!”

Since the demonic creature had been killed, there was no point in them staying here.

Victor Li called out to everyone and continued towards the palace.

However, what happened next was beyond their imagination.

…

The corridors of the palace were filled with demonic corpses…

There were two Grade B demonic corpses lying outside the palace…

The first palace was filled with killed monsters…

Gulp!

What they saw along the way made everyone gasp.

They had thought that the battle in the square was shocking enough, but reality had taught them a harsh lesson. The shocking scenes appeared one after another in their eyes.

Their initial shock gradually turned into numbness.

They remembered how difficult it was for them to fight against a Grade C giant snake creature previously. However, all these demonic creatures that were stronger than the giant snake were killed by someone. Until now, they were still unsure of that person’s identity.

At first, Victor Li thought that it was Ye Tianyu, but now, he was a little shaken.

The huge difference gave people the illusion that they were dreaming.

Victor Li reached out and pinched himself, but he did not feel any pain.

He muttered to himself, “Indeed, am I dreaming?”

Then, a scream came from beside him.

One of the team members said while rubbing his arm.

“Captain, look clearly, you pinched me!”

“Sorry, I saw wrongly…”

Victor Li was stunned.
