Chloe was overjoyed, and Daniel beside her even shouted:
"What took you so long? We're about to die of exhaustion!"
Ren Yunying ignored him, and after disembarking from the spaceship, she pulled out her whip and struck at the monsters nearby.
Seeing this, Qin Huaibei reminded her, "Cut off their heads. That's the only way to kill them completely."
Hearing this, Ren Yunying readily changed her approach. She wrapped her long whip around the monster's neck, made sure it was tight, and then yanked hard.
With a crisp sound of breaking bones, the monster collapsed along with the noise.
She had brought many soldiers with her, apparently genuinely concerned that her students might perish in the Forest of Life.
Chloe felt an inexplicable surge of emotion, realizing that Ren Yunying truly cared about them.
As Chloe was feeling touched to the point of tears, Ren Yunying seized the moment to say:Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)
"You couldn't even take out these things after all this time? Did a dog eat your strength?"
Chloe: "..."
She promptly turned away, pretending not to have heard Ren Yunying speak.
The instructor clearly didn't like them, starting with a scolding right off the bat. How annoying.
After decapitating a monster in front of her, Chloe realized that continuing like this wasn't the solution. She needed to confirm whether someone in this forest was continuously creating these monsters.
Otherwise, how many would they have to clear out? For how long?
If they became exhausted and couldn't hold on, that would be when real danger struck – like sheep walking into a tiger's den.
Chloe put away her broadsword, and her wings suddenly spread open, lifting her up into the sky.
Noticing her movement, Katherine looked up, confusion apparent in her eyes: "What are you going to do?"
"Confirm some things. Don't worry about me, you guys keep busy."
As she spoke, Chloe extended her perception outward, but naturally found nothing.
This was a bit troublesome.
Chloe licked her pointed teeth, then suddenly sped off towards the distance.
The people below only caught a glimpse of her back before she vanished from sight.
Daniel stood dumbfounded, nearly dropping his spiked mace, and asked in bewilderment:
After a brief pause, Ren Yunying continued, dissatisfied: "Chloe, are you even listening?"
"Of course," Chloe replied, "To be honest, I'm currently searching for the bastard causing this phenomenon."
"When I find them, I'll have to give them a good thrashing to vent my anger."
Hearing this, Ren Yunying finally understood why Chloe had suddenly left.
Her tone softened: "I see. Carry on then. We can manage here for now, but... we still need to hurry."
As she spoke, the sound of a whip cracking came through from the other end.
Chloe ended the communication, her gaze coincidentally falling on a valley to her right front.
The terrain there was low and flat, nestled between two mountain peaks, deep and bottomless, with dense treetops growing up from the valley floor.
Acting on a subtle intuition, Chloe flew towards that valley. Before doing so, she carefully set her terminal to silent mode.
Chloe felt her intuition was fairly accurate; there must be something unsavory inside this valley.
She deliberately controlled both her flight speed and amplitude.
The closer she got to the valley, the more silent the surroundings became.
It was a silence that penetrated to the bone, even making one feel chilled to the core.
Deathly quiet.
Chloe landed lightly on the treetops, confirming her position before parting the leaves to look down.
This time her luck was good; her landing spot was right at the center of the entire valley. Pushing aside the leaves, she could see the tents set up below.
In the middle of the tents was a group of researchers wearing white coats.
In front of them were several enormous machines.
In the very center was something resembling a fish cultivation tank, filled with transparent liquid. Immersed within were many of the transparent monsters she had seen earlier.
Chloe unconsciously held her breath and continued to observe.
Those must be researchers from the Viper Group. There was little emotion between them, maintaining a strict superior-subordinate relationship.
One middle-aged man with thinning hair took a small pair of tweezers from a young assistant beside him. He reached into the giant culture tank and cut through a layer of the transparent monster's skin and flesh.
The next instant, the culture tank was opened. The sleeping monsters suddenly opened their eyes, screaming as they swam out of the tank, their cries extremely ferocious.
The middle-aged man calmly tossed over a bracelet. The moment it made contact, a huge vortex appeared, instantly sucking in the group of monsters from the culture tank.
It was a spatial vortex.
