Chapter 500: 275 What sound is that? (First Update)_2

After he finished speaking, he eagerly awaited Bai Ye’s response. Their Base’s leader was always desperate for talented individuals, and having encountered someone with such strength today, if they could keep him at the Base, the leader would certainly be delighted!

As for whether this person’s power might surpass that of the leader... he wasn’t worried at all. Not to mention the leader’s formidable strength, even if he was slightly inferior to this man, the leader’s intellect was unmatched by ordinary people.

He wasn’t concerned about Bai Ye refusing. After the apocalypse, food was scarce, and that applied not only to Ordinary People but also to superpower users. The three vehicles had limited space and could only carry so much. He had offered to host a feast as an invitation—there’s no way this person wouldn’t take the bait!

However, Bai Ye merely snorted and said rudely, "No need. If you want to apologize, just have your people put their weapons down and clear the trees and stones from the road! Otherwise..." He paused, releasing his aura once again.

This time, the aura carried an even sharper, more oppressive edge, and the exposed skin of some individuals began to show faint red marks!

The leader hadn’t expected Bai Ye to refuse. However, he didn’t even have time to be surprised when he saw red marks appearing on the faces and hands of his subordinates. Even he himself had the sensation of his skin being sliced open!

A chill ran through his heart, realizing he was completely outmatched this time. Without another word, he gestured obediently for his subordinates to put down their weapons.

Those who had thought they would score big this time were shocked to hit an iron wall instead! Their elaborate setup had been in vain, and now they had to go through the trouble of clearing the way!

They were inwardly fuming, but the burning pain on their skin was a reminder that their opponent wasn’t someone to be provoked! The injuries they now sustained were just a minor lesson compared to what would happen if they continued to meddle—they risked having their skins truly sliced open!

Intimidated by their own speculations, they dared not ponder further. They obediently laid down their weapons and started clearing the large tree trunks and boulders obstructing the road.

Seeing that they had backed off obediently, Bai Ye didn’t make things hard for them and simply drove away. Qian Lang, Zhao Yan, and the others realized something was amiss—these people looked like highway robbers. They dared not linger, and seeing Bai Ye’s vehicle moving ahead, they quickly hit the gas to follow!

Bai Ye wasn’t concerned about the recent incident. Though the men were decently strong, they were nowhere near the level of his concern. However, just twenty minutes into the drive, he suddenly heard a ferocious roar coming from the distant woods!

The sound was like a muffled thunderstorm, piercing the heavens with tremendous force, causing even the ground to tremble!

Bai Ye felt his whole body jolt at the sound and slammed on the brakes!

Fang Yuxin was totally unprepared for the sudden stop and lurched forward uncontrollably. Luckily, she was fastened by the seatbelt, which harshly yanked her back into place.

The seatbelt painfully constricted Fang Yuxin, who couldn’t help but glare angrily at Bai Ye, "What are you doing? Why did you suddenly brake?"

"Sorry," Bai Ye apologized bluntly, his gaze still fixed in the direction of the noise. Only then did he turn to glance apologetically at Fang Yuxin, "Sorry. I sensed a very familiar energy from over there, as if it was calling me, so I instinctively hit the brakes."

Fang Yuxin wasn’t too angry, having vented just moments before. She skeptically glanced in the direction of the sound and then at Bai Ye, "The familiar energy you mentioned... is it the Power of thunder and lightning? Considering the sound we just heard, could it be... a Mutant Beast with Thunder Power?"

Bai Ye nodded. Seeing that Fang Yuxin was unharmed, he felt relieved and his gaze inadvertently shifted back, "I also think it must be a Mutant Beast. Judging by the sound it made just now, it seems very angry, probably under attack."

Fang Yuxin could tell that Bai Ye couldn’t let go of the Mutant Beast. It wasn’t surprising—Mutant Beasts were rare, and those with Thunder Element superpowers were even more so, practically a rarity among rarities! Now that they had finally encountered one, missing this opportunity would mean they might not come across another for who knows how long. No wonder Bai Ye was so concerned.

However, Bai Ye didn’t head over immediately, clearly hesitating.

Considering this, Fang Yuxin said to Bai Ye, "Since it may be a Mutant Beast with Thunder Power, you absolutely can’t miss this chance! Let’s go and check it out! Based on the sound it made just now, the Mutant Beast must be very powerful. If you could tame it, it would be a great help to you!"

Bai Ye had already wanted to go, but he couldn’t bring himself to leave Fang Yuxin behind and rush over on his own, which was why he had been curbing his impulse.

As he was about to say something, the roar sounded once again, the Mutant Beast seeming angrier than before, though it was unclear what it was encountering.

Bai Ye’s brow furrowed instantly upon hearing the noise. Mutant Beasts were scarce, and those with the Thunder Power were even scarcer. This particular one seemed fated to him. He even felt a faint calling, which made him instinctively treat the Mutant Beast as a potential ally. The thought of something attacking it filled him with immense anger.

With no further hesitation, he declared, "I’m heading over now!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it with a monthly ticket at Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
