White Fox! Calamity-level Rat King

In his previous life, Gu Qijue had no idea how many times he had fantasized about walking outside without being attacked by Mutated Monsters.

Now, he had finally done it.

In the dark city, everywhere he went, ordinary and True Seed-level monsters fled around him in terror.

Only Variant-tier Mutated Creatures dared to attack him.

Splurt!!

On his way to Yun City's largest zoo, Gu Qijue killed three Variant-tier monsters in succession outside a high school.

"Is that a monster too? How can it be so powerful?"

"When he came just now, all the other monsters ran away like mad. That thing must be an even more terrifying Mutated Creature."

"Yeah! We shouldn't make any rash moves."

The Super Martial Artists hiding inside the school had witnessed Gu Qijue slaughter three Variant Seeds that could have killed them instantly, and they were all utterly terrified.

With Twin Dragons growing from his back, Blood Eyes, white hair, and the ability to make Mutated Monsters fear him, who would think he was human?

While the Twin Dragons devoured the three Variant Seeds on the ground, Gu Qijue looked toward the high school.

In his previous life, he vaguely remembered that this school had several remarkable Super Martial Artists.

Especially someone named Ji Shang, whose awakened Super Martial Armor was extremely formidable.

"Ji Shang, come out!"

Gu Qijue raised his voice slightly and called into the school.

It was necessary to recruit some powerful Super Martial Artists.

Although Gu Qijue himself was strong, there were many powerful creatures in the ocean during the later stages. Black Dragon feared none of them in a one-on-one fight, but if surrounded, he could only flee in disgrace.

Besides, Gu Qijue did not know whether his potential had decreased or increased after merging with Xiao Yao.

Therefore, it would naturally be best if he could recruit some powerful Super Martial Artists.

"Brother Ji, he's calling for you?"

Three people were hiding inside the entrance hall. The leader wore a set of Asura Armor.

Of the other two, one wore Black Crow Armor, while the other wore Firebird Armor.

These three were the strongest people in the high school.

"He knows me?!"

Ji Shang, who had awakened Asura Super Martial, stared at the white-haired man outside the school gates, somewhat hesitant.

"He called you by name. How could he not know you?"

Black Crow Armor said, "Then he probably isn't a real Mutated Monster. Should we meet him?"

"You two wait here. I'll go see what he wants."

After thinking for a moment, Ji Shang pushed open the door and headed straight for the school gates. Looking at the man with Twin Dragons on his back, he asked loudly, "You know me?"

"I've heard of you!"

Gu Qijue smiled faintly. "How about you lead the Super Martial Artists from your school and follow me?"

"You're not a Super Martial Artist, so why are you so powerful?"

Ji Shang did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked this question.

Using only his flesh and blood body to kill three Mutated Monsters, each of which could have slaughtered him, was simply too absurd in his eyes.

"These Mutated Monsters aren't Super Martial Artists either, so why can they kill you?"

Gu Qijue smiled lightly. "The Asura Super Martial you awakened is actually very strong, but it's only one-star. These three Variant Seeds were already Second Order."

By rank, Gu Qijue himself should also have been Second Order now.

However, once he devoured the Monkey King, an outstanding Evil Seed-tier creature, he would definitely advance to Third Order.

"This..."

Ji Shang paused, then hesitated. "You seem to know a great deal. I can follow you, but there are thirty-eight students and twenty-one awakened ones in the school. With so many monsters outside, what do you plan to do?"

"There's food and water at the school. What else is there to do?"

Gu Qijue said indifferently, "Unless I tell you to leave, you'll live here. I'll help you if there's trouble, on the condition that all of you obey me."

"Alright. Then can you tell me how to increase the star rating of our Super Martial Armor?"

Ji Shang looked deeply at Gu Qijue and found this man to be anything but simple.

Gu Qijue said calmly:

"There are two methods. First, wait for daytime and absorb sunlight. I don't need to tell you that; you'll find out tomorrow. Second, consume Mutated Fruit."

"After all Mutated Creatures die, the earth absorbs their blood. Once sunlight shines upon the ground, Mutation Trees will grow, and as long as you consume the Mutated Fruit on them, you can increase the star rating of your Super Martial Armor."

"I'm going to Yun City's largest zoo. When I return, I'll take you to pick Mutated Fruit tomorrow."

With that, Gu Qijue did not linger any longer.

If he arrived too late and allowed that Monkey King to advance to Third Order, things might become troublesome.

Watching his figure vanish into the night, Ji Shang's gaze flickered as he muttered softly, "What kind of being is he? All Mutated Creatures seem to fear him."

As Gu Qijue left the area, the nearby Mutated Creatures began to approach again.

He was practically the ultimate boss of the apocalypse, whether to humans or Mutated Creatures.

"Master, we can live perfectly well on our own. Why go through the trouble of taking in so many people?"

As they hurried toward the zoo, Xiao Yao's puzzled voice sounded.

"Xiao Yao, in your previous life, you were too arrogant and looked down on all living beings. That led to you being besieged by the five overlords of the ocean. Although you killed two of them, you nearly lost your life before escaping."

Gu Qijue said, "The Asura Super Martial Ji Shang awakened belongs to Saint Tier, corresponding to Calamity-tier. He'll be one of humanity's pillars in the future. Though he can't compare to you from your previous life, he's still a useful helper."

Awooo!!

Just then, a Mutated Monster ahead blocked Gu Qijue's path.

When the other Mutated Monsters saw it, they scattered like rabbits fleeing from a tiger.

The Mutated Creature blocking the road was not really a monster, but a white fox. It was larger than a water buffalo and had nine tails.

"Oh, an Evil Seed-tier creature?!"

Gu Qijue looked at the fox blocking his path in the distance and smiled wickedly. "So it's you, White Fox."

Evil Seed-tier Mutated Creatures possessed intelligence no less than that of humans, and could even transform into various forms.

Gu Qijue naturally knew this White Fox.

In his previous life, it had caused enormous trouble for humanity's Super Martial Artists. It was incredibly cunning and had somehow evolved into Calamity-tier by the middle stage of the apocalypse.

He had not expected to encounter it here.

Screech!! You slutty fox, where do you think you're running? Be my queen obediently, and I'll spare your life.

At that moment, a tall figure rapidly approached through the distant darkness.

Gu Qijue looked up, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

It was actually the Calamity-level Rat King!!!

Although this fellow was the weakest among Calamity-tier creatures, it commanded hundreds of millions, perhaps even billions, of rats.

Of course, it did not have that many underlings yet.

Squeak squeak—

As the Rat King appeared, pairs of scarlet eyes emerged from the darkness in every direction.

"Not running anymore?"

The Rat King that emerged from the darkness walked upright like a half-human creature. It stood over ten feet tall and gnawed on a human arm clutched in its claws.
