An hour later.
Chen Lin's expression grew increasingly grim.
He had swept through almost the entire island, but had not encountered another bizarre creature of any kind.
This left him deeply puzzled.
According to what he had learned, the hardest bizarre creatures to find here should have been double-headed babies, followed by three-eyed ones. It made no sense that he had killed several double-headed babies without seeing a single three-eyed creature.

He was both alarmed
