Chapter 1385: Chapter 573: Hunting the Wolf Pack

Wang Tao has been quite busy lately and has not entered the Rift.

But Ding Yuqin and the others have been constantly hunting monsters in the Rift. They use Changhe Base as their center and have explored outward, scouring several surrounding Rifts and reaping bountiful rewards.

The Rift they are now entering is the only place that Ding Yuqin and his team have not yet fully explored. This is because there are many Fifth-Order Lord Mutant Beasts here, which cooperate with each other.

Although Ding Yuqin and his teammates are Fifth Order Awakeners and possess extraordinary strength, the environment inside the Rift is unfavorable to them, making encounters with these Lord groups prone to accidents.

They don’t necessarily have to kill these monsters and there’s no need to force a confrontation; they can just wait for Wang Tao. If a victory is certain, why risk it?

Moreover, Wang Tao had mentioned before that if they encountered a significant number or an insurmountable Lord of the Fifth Order, they could call him.

Wang Tao also still needs a few Level 5 Omnipotent Crystal Cores to achieve Ascension to Level 6, so today is perfect for clearing out the monsters here.

Wang Tao led the team confidently into the Rift.

With Wang Tao present, everyone immediately felt much more comfortable — because Wang Tao dispersed the black fog inside the Rift, greatly enhancing the effectiveness of their Night Vision Devices.

This Rift, like the first one Wang Tao entered, is layered. However, the previous Rift had only two layers, whereas this Rift has at least three or more, which is the most layers Ding Yuqin and his team had ever seen.

The group of Fifth-Order Lords is on the third layer.

Since the monsters on the first and second layers had been cleared, Wang Tao and his team proceeded smoothly without stopping directly to the third layer.

The black fog on the third layer was naturally the thickest, but for the now advanced-strength Wang Tao, it posed no problem, and he dispersed the fog with a wave of his hand.

Upon entering the third layer, Wang Tao immediately sensed the presence of Fifth-Order Lords.

This wasn’t because his Perception was particularly sharp, after all, the Fifth-Order Lords were still some distance from him. Rather, it was because there were many Lords clustered together, their emitted presence was formidable, which allowed him to sense them from afar.

"So many Lords gathered together, interesting..."

Wang Tao grinned; he could slay even Sixth Rank Disasters, naturally, Fifth-Order Lords wouldn’t perturb him. Even with many enemies, as long as they don’t undergo a qualitative change through quantitative change, it’s not a problem for Wang Tao.

Soon enough, Wang Tao saw the first Fifth-Order Lord. It was snarling and baring its teeth at Wang Tao and his companions.

It was a husky beast with dark red fur and red pupils... a wolf!

[HP: 1000000/1000000]

[Mana: 200000/200000]

[Level: Level 5, Lord]

[Internal Impurity: 50%]

[Awakening: Body of the Dark Night]

[Body of the Dark Night: All basic Attributes greatly increased, Dark Attribute Defense significantly enhanced, Attacks carry Dark Property Damage]

Seeing the appearance and attributes of this Red Wolf, Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.

The appearance of this Red Wolf, and the previously subdued Mutant Leopard by Wang Tao, seemed to share a style — both were red and black, possessing a ferocious and malevolent air.

Moreover, this Red Wolf’s Awakening was exactly the same as the Mutant Leopard’s, both were the [Body of the Dark Night].

However, their HP was different; the previous leopards had 500,000 HP while this Mutant Wolf had 1,000,000 HP, exactly double.

Wang Tao had previously communicated with those leopards, and they had no memory of their childhood, which was quite abnormal...but their minds were normal. After some coercion and bribery by Wang Tao, they obediently followed him to Changhe Base.

But this Mutant Red Wolf...

Wang Tao could feel no intelligence in its eyes, only ferocity!

"This wolf seems a bit off..."

Wang Tao immediately warned.

Previously, when Ding Yuqin explained the situation here, he was somewhat conflicted about whether to kill these mutant beasts or lure them back to the base...

Killing the Mutant Red Wolf would naturally yield Crystal Cores, but luring them back to the base to serve like the Mutant Leopard could also be a good choice.

But now, Wang Tao felt there was no need to hesitate, as the eyes of these mutant wolves were too crazed, seemingly impossible to communicate with.

However, this was just Wang Tao’s guess, and he still planned to try.

Thus, facing the snarling Mutant Red Wolf, Wang Tao projected his spiritual power, preparing to attempt communication.

But as soon as Wang Tao’s spiritual power contacted the Mutant Red Wolf, his expression immediately changed!

The Mutant Red Wolf’s mind lacked a normal creature’s consciousness, possessing only an endless, savage breath!

Wang Tao’s head felt as if it were being pricked by needles as he felt the savage breath assaulting him rapidly along his spiritual power!

If Wang Tao was tainted by this savage breath, there was a possibility of assimilation!

Although Wang Tao thought his spiritual power was strong enough to withstand such a level of Mental Attack and would not turn into an irrational monster like the Red Wolf, he decided not to take the risk and immediately chose to cut off his own extended spiritual power!

Phew—

Losing some spiritual power made Wang Tao instinctively take a deep breath, but it was not a big deal.

"Wang Tao, are you alright?"

Ding Yuqin and the others spoke while quickly surrounding Wang Tao in the middle to prevent a sneak attack from the Mutant Red Wolf.
