Chapter 637: Devour
When he realized this, Zhou Hao’s expression immediately turned ugly.
He stared at the corpse of the mutated beast and could not help but ask again, “But why do they only eat their heads and not anywhere else?”
“Could it be that only their heads can cause them to mutate and it’s useless for them to eat the bodies?”
Scholar hesitated for a moment and immediately went forward. He used a small knife to cut all the parts of the mutated beast’s body into thin pieces and collected them with a research bag, prepared to bring them back to investigate the composition of the mutated beasts.
After doing all of this, everyone got up again and continued to walk forward.
However, this time, their speed was much faster than before.
Previously, they could still walk forward step by step. But now, they could only use the flying device to quickly fly forward for a short distance, increasing their speed to prevent them from lingering.
This place was really too dangerous. Moreover, there were many unknown mutated beasts that might appear soon.
Moreover, they did not know when the mutated beast that had devoured its companion would suddenly appear. Therefore, they did not dare to take the risk to deal with that mutated beast.
Because they had been chased by the mutated beast just now, their speed had increased by a lot.
It only took them twenty minutes to pass through the wilderness full of spatial rifts.
Seeing that the wilderness in front of them had disappeared and was replaced by a forest filled with green trees, they immediately became worried.
“This forest doesn’t look very peaceful…”
Veteran could not help but narrow his eyes and size up his surroundings. Then, he immediately looked at Zhou Hao and asked worriedly, “Zhou Hao, will we be in danger if we go in?”
Everyone looked towards the distant forest.
They kept feeling that in such a dense forest, there would always be some hidden danger, making them feel that there were hidden mutated beasts lurking inside, prepared to take their lives at any moment.
Zhou Hao stood at the entrance of the forest and hesitated for a moment before saying firmly, “No matter how dangerous it is, we still have to go through it. After all, this is a mission assigned by Senior Ji.”
After a pause, Zhou Hao immediately said solemnly, “Let’s go. Everyone has to be 120% vigilant to prevent any danger that might happen at any moment!”
That scene of the thousands of mutated beasts struggling to climb up the spatial rift just now was really too shocking.
This was the first time the few of them had seen so many mutated beasts. They inevitably felt somewhat nervous and afraid.
Fortunately, they were wearing armor. These mutated beasts could not smell their scent for the time being. As long as their movements were not big, it would not attract their attention.
Under Zhou Hao’s lead, everyone quickly regained their calm.
They took a deep breath and stared at the distant forest with solemn expressions. They were already prepared to enter.
“Let’s go!”
Zhou Hao waved his hand and led everyone into the forest.
Just as everyone walked into the forest, they saw a huge ferocious tiger suddenly walk over from afar!
The ferocious tiger’s body was surprisingly huge. It looked almost two meters long, and it was only less than ten meters away from where they were!
If it pounced over at this moment, it would definitely cause a battle!
It had to be known that this place was different from the vast wilderness just now. There was a huge tree that reached into the clouds every three steps!
If they hit these giant trees in battle, it would definitely attract the attention of more mutated beasts!
After the battle with the mutated beast just now, everyone also realized that the mutated beasts here seemed to have better hearing!
If they attracted another thousands of mutated beasts, they would probably become the food of the mutated beasts in less than a second!
When Zhou Hao thought of this, he could not help but start to feel nervous. Large drops of sweat fell from his forehead!
Fortunately, that ferocious tiger did not notice them at all. Instead, it sat on the ground with its legs raised high, listening to something.
A moment later, it suddenly raised its head and roared as if it had gone crazy. Then, it quickly rushed towards the distant mountain peak!
The ferocious tiger was like a gust of wind as it quickly disappeared from their sight.
However, to everyone’s shock, after the ferocious tiger roared, countless roars erupted around it!
This noise stunned the group of people on the spot!
This was because the noises sounded from all directions. It was as if the mutated beasts were everywhere and had always been lurking around them!
Hearing these noises continuously erupt, they were all immediately shocked to the point of breaking out in cold sweat.
They lay on the ground and did not dare to move at all, worried that they would be discovered by the surrounding mutated beasts.
After the roars of the surrounding mutated beasts gradually weakened, Zhou Hao continued to lead the team forward.
Zhou Hao held the detector in his hand and tried his best to bring everyone to avoid the gathering of the mutated beasts as they quickly rushed towards the mountaintop.
Buzz! Buzz!
Zhou Hao suddenly stood rooted to the ground. He turned around and looked at his team members. Then, he said with a solemn expression, “Did you notice?”
“It seems that the closer we are to the peak, the greater the shaking of the surrounding ground?”
“That’s right!”
Veteran expression instantly became solemn as he held the detector. He activated the switch. After looking at the monitoring data, he said anxiously to Zhou Hao, “We should be reaching the magnetic field center soon. We’ve already covered 80% of the distance!”
As Veteran spoke, he immediately picked up the binoculars hanging around his neck and looked into the distance.
He quickly saw an extremely shocking scene!
Halfway up the mountain, there was a huge black bear covered in a cold aura!
Countless mutated beasts around them seemed to have gone crazy as they quickly ran towards the mountaintop!
“There… there are so many mutated beasts! Zhou Hao! Look!”
Veteran’s heart skipped a beat, and his shocked voice kept trembling. He hurriedly waved his hand and said to Zhou Hao.
