Breakthrough at the Limit × The Overlord's Pressure Returns

In a flat, muddy field that had been blown away.

Morel exhaled a large amount of purple smoke from his Pipe.

The smoke enveloped Gon and Qi.

The smoke transformed into tiny tentacles, peeling away all the mud, rocks, and debris from their rotting skin.

These tiny things can only be quickly removed by rinsing with clean saline solution or by using this method.

It's important to know that Morel is Manipulation Type, and his operational precision far surpasses that of others.

And what he was operating was a mist-like substance.

The accuracy is beyond question.

This purple smoke acts like a filter.

As for Morel himself and Jin and the others, although they also suffered heavy injuries, they were in much better condition than the two children.

Kevin then began helping with the cleaning.

After cleaning up these potentially infectious debris, change into the temporary clothes you brought with you.

Melusina looked at her arm, tapped it, and then peeled off the scabs formed from the congealed blood.

Perhaps it was because some of the wounds below healed well due to the medication, coupled with Melusina's own constitution.

These scabs were like a thin shell, easily peeled off to reveal the slightly reddened skin underneath.

Peel off the scabs one by one, as if emerging from a shell.

Not just Melusina.

The same applies to Jin and Morel.

However, the Koala wasn't having such an easy time, since it still retained the appearance of Chimeric Ant.

This resulted in many areas of his body still having fur growing on them, so now that he has recovered a little, there are patches of fur missing from his body, making him look bald.

Her appearance has declined by more than one level.

However, he clearly didn't care much.

Kevin only administered new medication to Gon and Qi after the mud and debris were removed from their bodies to help them recover.

Only after they had done all that did they have the leisure to sit on the ground.

Let's discuss the entire process we just went through.

"You didn't mention before that their winds could be this strong."

Jin leaned against a tree stump that had been half-uprooted and said with a smile.

Now they can see the Golden Grassland in the distance without any obstruction.

Looking at the golden grassland, Kevin shook his head helplessly.

"Who could have imagined this? It's unimaginable how those Long-haired Creature could have managed such powerful wind pressure?"

"Clearly, it's more than that; it should be considered a collaborative ecological behavior."

Morel pointed to the golden grass leaves.

He also went through several explorations.

"The nutrient solution that comes with the wind is clearly more for helping these outer green grasses have enough nutrients to grow into golden blades."

This is more of a natural environmental expansion.

"But why are these nutrient solutions in the wind able to help us push our physical limits?"

Melusina rubbed her arm and asked in confusion.

She had received and even tasted that Thick White Milk before; it was simply rich in nutrients, but it didn't possess the properties that allowed them to push their physical limits.

"It must be some kind of concentration mechanism, after all, we don't know much about these so-called Long-haired Creature or this grassland, do we?"

Jin, standing nearby, reminded everyone.

Although he had read the documents and knew that Kevin and others had gone through several explorations.

However, the information obtained is not detailed. To obtain detailed information, one must always rely on more detailed and prolonged observation.

However, they were the Vanguard Expedition Team of the Dark Continent, and detailed information exploration and collection were not within their scope of duties, nor were they capable of doing so.

Their role is more about mapping, exploring risks, and acquiring initial resources.

"In any case, this is indeed like a trial, and you've all benefited from it, haven't you?"

Kevin sat there, smiling as he spoke.

These things were of no use to him.

But for Morel, Melusina, and others, this truly increased the limits of their physical growth.

This allowed them to break through.

"This is a good thing, at least we now know a second way to break through the limits of the body, since the number of potions I have is limited."

The potion in his hand came from the Ant King.

However, the Ant King is just a special individual, not a being that is bound to exist.

It possesses a certain degree of non-replicability.

Now that we have this grassland, although we don't know the exact time and structure, just looking at the animals there tells us that this is definitely not the first time.

And it certainly won't be some opportunity that spans a century.

Moreover, it is widespread and covers a large area.

This is undoubtedly a supplement for humanity.

"This naturally obtained gain may be no less significant than my potions."

Kevin made a comparison before speaking.

Seeing everyone's self-respect, Kevin began to explain.

"Humanity's limits are insufficient to allow humans to reach the strength of Knight Rank, which is the level of Four-Armed Beast and those powerful wild animals we've seen recently that can temporarily occupy territory."

"I was only able to rival them after I broke through to the next level, but you see, even creatures of this level are waiting here."

"This shows that such breakthroughs are useful to them."

The potion in his hand only allowed human strength to exceed a million.

"Let's head back to camp; now's not the right time to continue exploring."

Anyway, let's go back and rest for a while.

Everyone stood up.

They quickly returned to the temporary camp.

The place was a complete mess.

A large area surrounding the grassland was completely destroyed, and the area slightly further back was buried by broken trees and mudslides.

Fortunately, their camp was not set up randomly, but rather in a back slope area with huge rocks blocking the view.

The debris was effectively blocked, but all the supplies were inevitably covered with a layer of mud and rocks.

Shortly after they returned, Gon and Qi also woke up one after another.

They forgot the pain they had just suffered and were now jumping around in place, feeling the subtle changes in their bodies.

Are you going to explore the grasslands tomorrow?

Melusina stood to the side, looking at Kevin, and asked.

Upon hearing this, Kevin shook his head.

"The outermost edge is already covered with Golden Grass Leaves; it's not suitable for casual exploration, or you'll get electrocuted before you even get inside."

Although he didn't know where the electrical charge came from, he had definitely seen the Electric Current between the Golden Grass Leaves yesterday.

"If it's not necessary, let's postpone further exploration."

"However, it's worth taking a stroll to see if there are any missed opportunities. Now is a good time to hunt those powerful beasts with various abilities."

Kevin clenched his fist and said with a smile, "He won't hold back."

After last night, those wild beasts were either dead or wounded.

At this point, if they want to move back to their unknown location and territory, they cannot rush it.

With him in relatively good condition, it was the perfect time for him to hunt.

The next day.

Kevin, along with Koala and Morel, embarked on the hunt.

Jin wasn't very interested in these things; he focused his attention on the Boundary of the grassland, more curious about the changes in the natural environment.

Gon and Qi still need to rest, and Melusina is also resting and protecting them at the camp.

He leaped off the broken log.

One kick.

He then kicked a weasel-like creature, roughly the size of a person, flying away.

A crisp cracking sound was heard.

The kick struck the creature squarely in the head.

It flew out and crashed into the linden wood, its whole body began to convulse, clearly it wouldn't live much longer.

Kevin walked over and snapped the man's neck.

He then shook his hands.

Cracks and purple lines appeared in the center of the palm and on the back of the hand.

"Poisoned?"

Morel, who jumped down from a tree branch not far away, asked.

This looks very much like poisoning.

Kevin shook his head.

"No, it's some kind of attack, I can't quite put my finger on it."

His attack was accompanied by silver scales, but the attack from this pale purple weasel-like creature actually broke through the scales' defense.

It directly damaged the flesh beneath the scales.

As the scales fell away, these wounds remained on the flesh, and they wouldn't heal for a while.

But it's clearly not poisoning.

"What do we do now? Your wound shows no signs of healing," Morel said, frowning.

The unknown and persistent attack looked extremely dangerous.

Kevin looked at it for a moment, then waved his hand and severed his own hand.

The muscle was temporarily restrained, and no blood was spilled.

Seeing this, Morel froze for a moment.

That was too decisive.

Kevin picked up his right hand with his left hand.

The wound is still there, but it has begun to heal.

"As expected, a certain type of damage attached to a living organism only subsides when the living organism begins to decline."

As expected of Knight Rank creatures, each one possesses a unique skill.

If the other person hadn't been injured, Kevin would definitely have more injuries than just his right palm and the back of his hand.

After a short while, the wound healed, and Kevin reattached his hand, then injected himself with another injection to reconnect it.

"Every time something goes this far, I think your potions seem really exaggerated."

The Koala chimed in from the side.

This is especially evident in cases of limb reattachment.

The required medication is only B-Rank.

Kevin reached out and pinched it.

"It's not completely fine; your right hand needs a good rest for the next few days."

"That's about it. We've hunted down the more seriously injured creatures that were nearby."

Behind Morel floated a purple cloud, upon which lay their prey.

Three creatures, all of Knight Rank, but not very large, have already been placed on top.

This time, the larger the creature, the stronger its defenses, and the less likely it is to be injured.

This purple weasel is the fourth one.

"Let's go back to camp."

The three men, carrying their prey, quickly returned to their camp.

However, they had only just arrived at the camp entrance.

The group's eyes widened suddenly, and they lowered their heads without hesitation.

That oppressive aura returned.

Shadow Creature, obscuring the sky, swept overhead.

Soon the sunlight shone again, and the shadows that had blocked out the sky disappeared.

"Has it been three months already?"

Morel wiped the sweat from his forehead, let out a breath, and said that although it wasn't the first time, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

Melusina walked over from just ahead. She looked to be in good shape; she had been through this many times before.

He walked over and glanced at Kevin.

"Don't worry, I won't look up this time," Kevin said immediately.

He was in a real bind last time he took a look.

This time he learned his lesson.

"It doesn't seem to be three months yet this time," Koala said from the side.

It's been at most two months since the last one.

However, three months is just a rough timeframe; for such a massive creature, it has absolute freedom in this area.

After all, he was the Overlord.

"Wait a minute—Gold!"

The group paused for a moment before realizing that Jin wasn't there.

Moreover, given Kim's personality, he might very well want to look up and see.

I'm going to find him.

Kevin said this, then turned and rushed out.

The others hesitated, realizing that they were no match for Kevin in terms of strength and speed.

Kevin quickly reached the edge of the grassland.

Jin wasn't far away; he stayed in the same area where they had sheltered from the wind yesterday.

He was facing away from them, looking into the distance.

Kevin rushed over, but soon found that Kim's expression hadn't changed much.

Follow the direction the other person is facing.

Kevin was stunned.

The gold is gone.

It must be dusk now. After the sunlight shines down, the golden grass blades should reflect the light, and the golden luster and reflected light should be too bright to look at directly.

But none of that exists now.

Looking out, all I could see was a barren wasteland.

That's right.

The Golden Grassland that once stretched as far as the eye could see were completely gone, replaced by utter barrenness.

The grasslands have turned into desolate wastelands.

"This----"

The endless, desolate wilderness left Kevin momentarily speechless.

They came to Jin's side.

What did you see?

Kevin asked in a murmur.

The golden grasslands stretched as far as the eye could see, but overnight they all vanished.

"They were all there just now, you know? Right before that Shadow Creature loomed over my head, those golden blades of grass were still there."

"But as the Shadow Creature flew over my head, just as I looked down, all the golden blades of grass vanished."

As he spoke, Jin raised his hand and waved it in the air.

"They turned to ashes; all I saw was them turning into a sky full of ashes."

This extreme and exaggerated change shocked Jin.

To the point that he now doesn't know how to express himself.

But naturally, they won't wait.

Just then, on the desolate field in front of them, the ground began to tremble slightly.

One after another, tender green shoots sprouted from the ground.

One after another, densely packed, instantly filling the limits of vision.

They protrude upwards at a rate that is growing almost every second.

In less than ten seconds, they had grown about five or six centimeters in height.

Then it stopped.

In less than ten seconds.

The desolate wilderness has been transformed into a verdant grassland.

"----This is truly fortunate."

Jin suddenly murmured.

Kevin nodded slightly.

They were truly fortunate to be able to stand by and witness this scene firsthand.

"So, it's the Overlord?"

"Perhaps."
