Chapter 497: Fruit City No. 2 (Part 2)

Since the high-level mutated creatures had been eliminated, some intelligent mid and low-level mutated creatures were gone to hiding.

They are too scared to come out now.

The spiritual cultivators, who were usually chased by mutated creatures, were now the one who chasing them instead.

They worried about the mutated creatures getting away, and even when they caught them, the effort outweighed the rewards.

Everyone was exhausted.

Listening to their conversation, Amalia finally understood the situation.

These people hadn’t recognized that she and Kenny Lin were the ones responsible for clearing out the mutated creatures.

She had heard about other spiritual cultivators’s complaints from Kenny’s third brother but she hadn’t expected to hear them firsthand.

Knowing that they’d had no success for over half a month didn’t make her feel guilty, but she did feel a little bit of sympathy.

"You should head west. The mutated creatures there haven’t been cleared out much," Amalia suggested kindly.

"Really?" The young spiritual cultivator’s eyes lit up.

"Of course it’s true. If you’re going, go quickly. The city might be sealed off again at any time."

"Thanks a lot! If we find any mutated creatures, I won’t forget your help," the young spiritual cultivator said happily.

Amalia nodded her head slightly and pulled Kenny Lin away.

"Hey, doesn’t it seem strange? How did she know the mutated creatures in the west haven’t been cleared? They came from the south," one of the young spiritual cultivator’s companions said, puzzled after they left.

"Yeah," the young spiritual cultivator looked equally confused, "How did they know?"

A companion suddenly spoke with a trembling voice, "Did you notice there were only two of them? They had a heavy scent of blood like they’d just killed a lot of mutated creatures."

The air was filled with gasps.

"Oh no, could it be that we just met them in person?"

Another companion’s face turned pale, realizing they had been talking to the Legendary demon slayer and his girlfriend.

The young spiritual cultivator murmured, "So, they really are as handsome and beautiful as the rumors online say."

Everyone else: "..."

After all that, is that all you have to say with that big head of yours?

Meanwhile, Amalia and Kenny Lin returned to Fruit City No. 2.

Since Tony Lin was currently handling some matters, they met with General Silva and asked him to convene a meeting with the city’s influential leaders.

During the meeting, Amalia shared their findings.

Everyone’s expressions grew increasingly serious, with only a few remaining calm.

"In fact, we’ve also received some bad news from above," General Silva broke the silence.

Once he had everyone’s attention, he continued, "We were planning to disclose this later, but since Amalia and Kenny have already discovered it, I’ll share it now."

"Go ahead, General Silva. We’ve heard bad news before; we can handle it," several commanders said.

"The mutated creature in the central disaster zone is expected to take action within a year, and it’s related to the black fragments. We’ve long suspected that although the black crystal is broken into pieces when fully assembled, it will unleash its true power. A month ago, several black fragments that was stored by the government were stolen."

This revelation caused an uproar among the attendees.

Although the black fragments were of no use to humans, the government had secretly kept them to prevent them from falling into the hands of mutated creatures.

They were rarely taken out, except for research purposes.

"It was stolen during research. Now we suspect that there might be a collaboration between humans and the mutated creatures in the central disaster zone. The prime suspects are the Bright Accord faction of the Astral Demoniaco Sect—they’ve always been radical."

Amalia frowned, "But that doesn’t make sense. The black fragments must be assembled to pose a real threat. However, as far as we know, the mutated creatures can digest the black fragments."

"You mean absorb the energy from the black fragments?" General Silva asked.

"No, I mean literally eat the black fragments," Amalia clarified.

General Silva shook his head, "That’s impossible. The military has tested this. The mutated creatures cannot survive after ingesting black fragments; they would explode, even if it was the high-level mutated creatures."

Amalia exchanged a glance with Kenny Lin, puzzled.

What about the time when the black fragments were eaten by Wealth?

It even had consumed more than one fragment.

"So, if a mutated creature did manage to swallow a black fragment, does that mean the powerful mutated creature in the depths of the disaster zone can’t gather all the fragments?" Amalia asked.

"Correct."

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Amalia pressed.

Seeing Amalia’s detailed questioning, General Silva suddenly had a vague suspicion but didn’t voice it.

Instead, he said, "It’s both good and bad. If they can’t gather all the black fragments, their plan can’t be executed."

Amalia agreed, "I still have a few black fragments. If that mutated creature intends to gather them, it will definitely target the ones I have."

"Be careful and try not to go deeper into the central disaster zone."

Amalia had the same plan.

She wondered if the mutated creature knew some of the fragments were swallowed by another creature.

Would it be furious enough to come after them?

As it turned out, her fears were unfounded.

Before long, a terrifying commotion erupted from deep within the central disaster zone.

Waves of pressure emanated from afar.

Even people hundreds of miles away in Fruit City No. 2 could feel it, causing panic.

Some were caught so off guard that they ran out in the middle of using the bathroom or taking a shower, stark naked, thinking the mutated creatures were launching another attack.

Apart from the pressure waves coming from afar, the ground also started to shake slightly.

"What’s happening?"

Everyone looked worriedly in the direction of the central disaster zone.

Things had been calm for the past few months, so such a sudden disturbance made everyone uneasy.
