Mutation

"Shall we go then?"

Jiang You said a few words to Furry Face, then turned and patted Da Zhuang's head.

"Are you scared?"

"Meow!!" Scared of what, you hammer!

The calico cat's golden vertical pupils were filled with disdain as it stepped directly over Furry Face.

Its fierce cat face carried an unstoppable momentum, like a warrior who feared nothing.

Just like the cat that was once chained but still full of ferocity.

But in that moment of grand ambition, Furry Face, which had been lying on the ground, suddenly's eyes lit up. As if it had seen something, it suddenly reached out.

"Hey! Two big fuzzy peaches! Give me one!"

"Meow!!!!" I'll beat your immortal's board to death!!!!!

In an instant, Furry Face's surprised voice and the sharp cat's meow mixed together.

Da Zhuang, baring its teeth and screaming, jumped and plunged into the Abyss.

Furry Face, grabbing two fuzzy peaches, was also pulled in. Seeing this absurd scene, Jiang You quickly grabbed Furry Face's leg, and the three of them disappeared into the fissure head over heels.

Beside the fissure, Manshi and the people of Black Moon Village looked at each other.

"What do we do now? Should we go back?"

"Didn't the City Lord tell us not to guard this fissure?"

"But I think this fissure is a good thing. So many people came to the mountain for it before! Only good things are fought over! If we just hand it over like this, I feel like it's not worth it!"

Xiao Lan leaned lazily against a tree, yawning.

"I also think this fissure is a good thing. Look, this fissure hasn't appeared for long, and the plants around it have already mutated."

She casually grabbed a stalk of foxtail grass from the ground and pulled it up forcefully.

As the roots were pulled out of the mud, the foxtail grass's roots began to twist wildly, looking like countless nimble tentacles.

"Look, this foxtail grass is like a ginseng spirit. I wonder if it's edible."

At this moment, everyone was unsure whether to classify this grass as an animal or a plant.

Xiao Lan stared at the struggling grass roots in her hand, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes. To eat or not to eat, that was the question.

However, in the eyes of the mountain folk, everything in the world was divided into two categories.

One was edible directly, and the other required some processing before it could be eaten.

If it were in the past, Xiao Lan might have been hesitant to eat something she hadn't seen before, but after eating the fruit of the man-eating tree, her courage had grown, and she dared to try more things.

After a brief thought, Xiao Lan wiped her hands on her pant leg, then directly bit into the struggling grass root.

"Ptooey!"

"It's bitter!"

Her expression changed, and she spat out the grass root with a wrinkled little face, throwing the foxtail grass on the ground. The remaining roots quickly burrowed back into the soil.

"These plants are close to the fissure, so their mutations are the fastest. If we get close to here, maybe we'll mutate too," Xiao Lan said, spitting out the bitter juice from her mouth.

"Why don't we just live in this Red Fruit Gully? Maybe we'll become the first to mutate! Then those old monsters from Longshan will be completely subservient to us!"

Xiao Lan said with a grin, holding the foxtail grass in her mouth.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Manshi hesitated, "If getting close to this entrance really has benefits, the City Lord wouldn't have failed to instruct everyone and let go of such a good opportunity. I'm just afraid of overdoing it.

Anything that happens too quickly is not a good thing."

Manshi didn't notice that as he spoke the words "too fast is not good," a mountain folk was staring at him intently.

Xiao Lan nodded indifferently and pulled up a wild sweet potato vine from the ground. To her surprise, with a bit of pulling and dragging, she unearthed a sweet potato the size of a cantaloupe.

"Heh, what a guy, this sweet potato has mutated so big! If we plant some food here someday, maybe it'll grow ears taller than a person!"

She chuckled, dragging the sweet potato and following the others.

No one noticed that someone's gaze remained fixed on the large sweet potato Xiao Lan was carrying.

That night, a figure crept to the side of the fissure. After looking around and seeing no one, he directly took off his pants and lay down on the ground.

"Hehehehe, the soil near the fissure must have mutated. The sweet potatoes growing in the soil are so big, and the grass roots are like ginseng spirits. Heh, if I bury myself in the soil for a few days, maybe I won't need to drink tiger penis wine...

The witch doctor's tiger bone wine isn't effective either. I've drunk so much, but it's still useless. Heh, maybe this is my opportunity. This mud must be very nourishing!

...Bury myself in it, hehe... If... If I could move on my own like a ginseng spirit, that would be even better, hehehehe... That damned woman, now I'll see if I can stab you or not!"

The lewd voice disappeared into the quiet night. Apart from the nearby small animals, no one knew that someone else had appeared here.

This self-proclaimed clever guy wouldn't realize that all the creatures near the Abyss entrance would have their DNA scrambled and imitate each other. What he poked into the soil was being copied unknowingly.

Not long after, an unbelievable big tree would place its face on the ground and stomp on it.

No, it wasn't that no one knew.

The intelligent Monkey King had been watching the fissure, and after discovering the strange behavior of humans, the Monkey King fell into deep thought.

Before long, Black Moon Village noticed that mountain monkeys were appearing more and more frequently near the fissure.

It wasn't just mountain monkeys.

The news that the Abyss entrance had opened spread out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains like it had grown wings, flying to all corners of the world.

Weak survivors treated it as gossip.

Meanwhile, powerful ability users set off immediately, some alone, some in groups.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains instantly became the topic of everyone's conversation.

The protective suits developed by Number Nine City were in short supply.

Wang Qichuan urgently added one hundred production lines and set up a sales point in Black Moon Village.

Black Moon Village was the closest to Red Fruit Gully, and buying protective suits here was much more cost-effective than traveling all the way to Number Nine City.

Although the protective suits were expensive, they were a necessity!

Various heavily mutated creatures were hung on the few big trees next to the Abyss entrance as a warning to everyone.

Snakes with nine heads, pheasants covered in toad-like bumps, bald mountain goats with eyes all over their bodies, gaping fish with long red worms covering them, and earthworms as thick as arms...

All sorts of mutated creatures that challenged the limits of human physiology were openly displayed there. Someone specifically explained that these were creatures mutated by the Abyss's radiation.

If you didn't want to turn into these monsters, it was best to wear a protective suit.

Never mind the various creatures hanging there; even the few big trees next to the Abyss had undergone obvious mutations.
