Chapter 1066 The Mutant
Xavier and Gerald exchanged a few words, and then returned to their respective sides! Yael’s physical condition improved significantly overnight. As a Supreme
Flame Decayer, his recovery ability was quite impressive. Coupled with the effect of their healing medicine, his condition had recovered a great deal. Gerald leaned against the hover car, munching on some food. Inside the car, after finishing her meal, Sylvie held a coin in her hand. She tossed it high into the air, while muttering to herself, “Is there any danger in going to Mount Arctic?”
The coin landed on top of the car, spinning around before gradually coming to a stóp, with the heads side facing up! Sylvie’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Kristian looked over and asked, “Is there any danger?” Sylvie nodded, then picked up the coin again and tossed it into the air, asking, “Is there any danger in staying here?”
The coin fell once more, and when it came to a stop, it was still heads up. What’s going on?” Kristian asked with a puzzled expression, “Are we just screwed then?” “Eternal Flame Decayer is after us!” Sylvie said to Kristian, “This is no ordinary situation, and it involves the legendary figure Nolan Goodwin.” “Such a headache!” Kristian exclaimed,
“We tried to keep a low profile when we came here, but we still ended up in this situation. Grandpa really didn’t help much, only sending someone with the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay to pick us up.” Anabel pondered and said, “Actually, I’ve always been worried about something.” “What’s wrong?” Kristian asked.
“You said it yourself, they should have, at the very least, sent someone at the supreme level of Flame Decay to pick us up, even if they wanted to keep a low profile. This would at least ensure their own safety, but they only sent someone at the level of peak Half-Step Flame
Decay,” Anabel said. “I’m wondering if the Archaic Tribe has encountered some issues on their end, making it difficult for them to spare any personnel.” “It shouldn’t be this unlucky!” Kristian’s eyelid twitched intensely,
Anabel shook her head and said, “It’s hard to say. Let’s wait until we get there and see!” During their conversation, they quickly ate their food and then got into the hover car.
After replacing the energy stone in the hover car, it started up again. The vehicle continued to patrol the surrounding area vigilantly. Even though they had already left Misty Mound Forest, they didn’t let their guard down at all. On the road, they encountered some people, but most of them just exchanged glances. With Xavier displaying the supreme peak level of Flame Decay, the majority of people didn’t dare to approach them.
Under such circumstances, they enjoyed a smooth journey all the way! At noon, they successfully arrived at Mount Arctic! Mount Arctic was not the towering, majestic mountain range that Gerald had imagined.
He didn’t appear to be very tall, probably just a few hundred feet, but he was incredibly long. According to the information provided by Kristian, he stretched for more than a hundred miles. To reach the base of the Archaic Tribe, Gerald and his team had to traverse the entire Mount Arctic.
However, there were no towering trees on the mountain. Upon closer inspection, most of the vegetation consisted of shrubs. But after Xavier’s repeated warnings, Gerald felt that these seemingly ordinary plants might actually be highly poisonous.
Under their full-speed journey, Micah’s people didn’t manage to catch up with them. Once they arrived at the base of the Archaic Tribe, all their problems could be easily resolved. In the Archaic Tribe, there is an Eternal Flame Decayer who resides on Promise Island.
When the time comes to reveal the truth, the Archaic Tribe will undoubtedly be furious. With Micah and his group’s background, it will be easy for them to find out through the Archaic Tribe’s intelligence network. Kristian’s revenge, or the revenge of the Archaic Tribe, will swiftly follow one after another. Of course, the prerequisite is that they must escape the pursuit and successfully reach the base of the Archaic Tribe.
When they reached the foot of the mountain and were about to enter, they saw a group of people hurriedly tumbling and scrambling down from the mountain. There were quite a few of them, probably dozens! Among them were experts at the level of Flame Decay!
After running out of Mount Arctic, some people were shouting loudly, while others collapsed on the ground. There were those who quickly began to tend to the ones who had fallen.
Some of them were covered in red spots, while others had faces that were completely black. There were even people whose entire bodies were swollen. Clearly, most of these people were poisoned.
They were the ones stalking us in the first place. If they don’t reveal their purpose, I have a thousand ways to torture them, making them suffer unbearable pain until they finally confess.” After finishing his statement, he added, “However, I must admit, Xavier is indeed a person worth befriending.”
Gerald chuckled and said, “Besides, no matter how you look at it, he did help us out with the Micah situation. If it wasn’t for him stepping in to mediate, we would have ended up in a fight to the death with Micah and his group, attracting a large
number of mutants. That would have been trouble for all of us. So, all in all, we do owe him a favor.”
“So… you’re planning to help him out?” Valery asked. Gerald nodded and said, “I was planning on discussing it with you guys.” “Let’s listen to you,” Anabel said from the side.
Hector furrowed his brow, but since Gerald had made up his mind, he didn’t say anything more. “Then connect me to their car, I have a few questions to discuss with Xavier,” Gerald said.
In the midst of their conversation, they had already approached the vicinity of Mount Arctic. At that moment, Gerald glanced to the side, and his eyebrows suddenly furrowed!
He saw several figures in tattered clothes on a nearby tree, lying on the trunk. They didn’t look much different from normal people, but their eyes were like lizard pupils, and saliva flowed from their mouths.
They stared at Gerald’s car, some of them moving like lightning, constantly leaping from tree trunk to tree trunk, closely following Gerald and his companions. “Are these… mutants?” Gerald asked, exhaling. “Yes!” Kristian said.
