Mini Sweet Orange felt her thoughts gradually clearing. Memories centered around the battle just now kept surfacing. Her expression instantly went blank, then slowly turned terrified. Soon, she tilted her head back slightly, mouth hanging wide open. Tears welled in her eyes, and drool streamed from her mouth.
"Ah!!"
A scream tore through the forest. Mini Sweet Orange toppled off the mushroom. Nearby, Guang Mu stood rooted to the spot, pondering how many plant lives Sweet Orange's scream might attract.
The Misfortune burst out of the sea. Over the past two days, Eternal Island had not changed much. All the various factions had arrived, but most had been stopped in the island's outer regions.
The five outer regions—the Venomous Insect Zone, Crocodile Zone, Snake Zone, Active Plant Zone, and Hunter Zone—had given the three great pirate forces and the contractors a warm taste of Eternal Island's hospitality.
Most of the contractors were in the Hunter Zone and Active Plant Zone. Though they had not cooperated, they were trying to concentrate their firepower and break through both areas. If they did not clear them out, any battle in the central region would inevitably attract the monsters from the outer regions.
All the Eternal Island creatures in the five outer regions followed a certain survival law: once the central region came under threat, they would swarm toward it.
These Eternal Island creatures possessed a certain degree of intelligence. After giving birth or producing seeds, they would send them to the edge of the central region, letting them drink beside the encircling river or soak in it. The river water was mixed with Primordial Water.
That was why the creatures of Eternal Island were so powerful. Generation after generation of reproduction, evolution, and adaptation had allowed them to reach their current level.
