The creatures in the valley and the underground gorillas had different natures, but Lin Qiao could still sense a scent from them that was similar to the one on Strong and his herd. However, the underground gorillas were scared of the sunlight, yet these creatures in the valley weren't.
Thankfully, those multiple-eyed creatures didn't go too far from the valley. Most of them stayed in the valley, lying upon each other. Only a small number of them had been scattering in all directions, seemingly hunting or occupying territories.
The animals that lived near the valley were desperately running away, and some birds even fell from the sky.
Even though those creatures didn't make long-range movements, the plants on the surrounding mountains had died and turned black. Soon, the darkness spread to the mountain where Lin Qiao and her friends were while a strong, acidic, corrosive odor was sensed. Lin Qiao instantly knitted her brows and ordered her zombies to leave.
"Leave this place!"
The group of zombies quickly moved away, and Lin Qiao was the last to leave. Landing on top of the other mountain, they saw the original mountain slowly get covered in darkness, and all the plants wither away.
Fortunately, the range of the darkness was limited. The plants over ten miles away from the valley stayed fine while all the plants and soil within that radius turned black.
"Even zombies can be corroded. Wherever these creatures are, the place will be a typical death zone." Standing behind Lin Qiao on top of a tree, Ye Qingxian looked at the dark area and couldn't help but click his tongue and say to his friends.
Not to mention the living animals in that area, even the zombie beasts didn't escape the fate of being destroyed. They suffered even more than the living animals because they had slower reactions. By the time they sensed the danger, their bodies were already disabled from moving.
Watching some zombie beasts fall and then be dragged away by those multiple-eyed creatures, Lin Qiao and her zombie friends had an even stronger sense of crisis.
"These creatures' bodies released some kind of very strong acid that corrodes pretty much everything," said Lin Qiao.
"If they keep moving, the Northwest will probably be destroyed in a few years," Xie Dong stood on a rock nearby and looked at the dark area with a solemn face.
"These things won't travel everywhere, will they? That will be a disaster… Can anything stop them?" On hearing Xie Dong's words, Yan Xiao pictured it in her head and then had her fine hairs stand straight up.
Lin Qiao looked around as she shook her head and said, "We need to keep observing them to find out. Look at their two legs. They don't look like something that'll run all over the world."
"Keep observing? Are we staying here?" Yan Xiao asked.
"Why should we be staying here? Whoever is responsible for this area should be doing the observations," said Ye Qingxian.
Lin Qiao nodded and said, "Yes. Tell Lan Lu about the situation here when we get back and make him pay extra attention to this area." After saying that, she turned and continued, "Let's go and find that wolf. It has run far away…"
Because of the weird vibe released by those creatures in the valley, many high-leveled mutated beasts near the valley had run away, including the level-eight wolf. The wolf had sensed the vibe and run far away from where Lin Qiao was now. But still, she could sense its vibe and locate it.
As Lin Qiao moved, all the other zombies quickly followed her away.
About a hundred miles away, on a tall mountain, the fur-less wolf was standing on a giant rock, turning to look at the valley.
"Owooooo…" A short while later, it raised its head and uttered a resonant howl toward the sky.
"Owoooo…" The wolf pack howled after their king.
After giving the howl, the wolf turned to leave. But all of a sudden, a dark fire dragon descended from the air and fiercely charged at it.
"Roar!" The wolf gave a start and sprung up while raising a paw and releasing a wave of sharp, white ice blades toward the dragon. The black dragon bumped into the white ice and turned into a gray dragon as it fell from the sky, shattering against the ground and generating a loud boom.
Next, the shattered ice quickly melted, and the black fire sealed within rose again within a blink.
"Roar!" The familiar vibe from the black fire made the wolf's hair stand straight up. Of course, it didn't have much hair left on its skin. Only some sparse hairs were left on its neck, tail, and limbs.
So, at the moment, only the hair on its neck and tail were seen standing up.
Hearing the wolf king's roar, all the other wolves hurriedly scattered and run.
At that moment, an enormous black snake suddenly slid off a tree nearby and charged at a level-six gray wolf.
"Owooo!" The gray wolf was smaller than the wolf king, but it was highly vigilant. The moment the snake darted out, it turned to give the snake a glance and then swiftly leaped again, landing on the other side before baring its teeth and roaring at the black snake.
"Owowowowo!" A weird series of dog bark could be heard, along with which a figure that was as black as the wolf king stormed into the wolf pack, fiercely attacking the wolves who were running in all directions. That was s dog biting a wolf's butt at first, then turning and pouncing on another wolf. It clinched one of the wolf's rear legs and dragged it backward.
"Owooooo…" The wolves who suffered the dog's teeth howled in pain, then turned around with rage and rushed at the black dog together.
"Owow!" As a few wolves charged at it all together, the black dog screamed shrilly as it turned and ran. The few level five and six wolves chased the dog closely, biting him madly.
The giant black snake coiled his body and confronted the gray snake while staying vigilant against the other wolves. It wasn't frightened though; from time to time, it tentatively reached out its head to bite the gray wolf.
The wolf and the snake were both level-six mutated beasts; however, the snake was much larger in size. The snake looked very dangerous, so the wolf never dared to relax its nerve, but stared closely at it.
A level-five gray wolf who was running at the edge of the wolf crowd suddenly fell into a hole, then countless tentacles wrapped up its body.
"Roar!" The gray wolf struggled intensely with fright and found that the tentacles had its body wrapped tightly. No matter how hard it struggled, it wasn't able to free itself. While the wolf was struggling, the sharp tips of those tentacles suddenly sank into its body.
"Owooo…" The wolf screamed in pain.
About ten figures showed up on the battlefield like lightning bolts, attacking the wolves at level five or six. Lin Qiao's domineering vibe had thrown the entire wolf pack into chaos. The wolf king had didn't have any spare attention to look after its pack because it was her target.
