Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ye Chen came to the room where the Mutated Beast Egg was kept. There were originally two Mutated Beast Eggs here but now, they had all hatched.

The Titan Ape was indeed in its infancy stage as expected. It had unparalleled combat strength and great growth potential.

The remaining Little Purple’s fate was more miserable. It was just born and was on its last breath for him. Ye Chen would not let it die no matter what.

According to the Titan Ape, they had been experimented on by the ancient ancestors. There was a type of energy in their bodies. This energy bestowed them with a different ability than other wild beasts. The way they manifested was also different.

For example, the Great Sun’s circular hair on the Titan Ape’s chest and the purple patterns on Little Purple’s body. These were all external manifestations. This energy would also give them different vitality. With Little Purple’s injuries, the Divine Phoenix or Kun Peng might not be able to withstand it.

After putting Little Purple down, Ye Chen carefully observed. He really discovered something different about Little Purple. Only a small portion of the purple patterns on Little Purple’s body was still glowing. The rest of the resistance was very dim.

This was the reason why Little Purple was able to survive. Its entire body was lifeless, and only this small portion was filled with life. This was also the reason why Little Purple was able to protect itself. It gave up on all its life force to only protect one point. After sleeping at this point, it could be considered to have returned to the egg.

In the future, as long as Ye Chen found a great medicine to replenish his Blood Qi, Little Purple might be able to become a Divine Beast in one go.

However, one could not forget that under normal circumstances, Little Purple was an existence even more powerful than the Titan Ape. Little Purple had evolved to S-Rank while the Titan Ape was not because of Ye Chen. He had yet to rank it up.

After seeing that Little Purple was fine, Ye Chen was relieved. It was time to find those people.

However, Ye Chen did not plan to place his hopes on the Kun Peng. Although the Kun Peng said that it was fine, Ye Chen was not stupid. Even if it was fine, it would still cause some damage to it.

Little Purple was his child and so was Kun Peng. They were both meat on the palm and the back of his hand. There was no such thing as being good to anyone.

Now that Ji knew who the real killer was, Ye Chen would not place all his hopes on the Kun Peng. If he could find it in advance, the damage to the Kun Peng would be smaller. He opened the World Channel and wrote.

“I am Ye Chen. After my investigation, I realized that the beast tide was not formed naturally. Instead, someone was plotting behind the scenes. Currently, we have locked onto a few suspects. Now, I hope that everyone can help look for them. If anyone discovers their whereabouts, you must tell me at once and I will definitely reward you heavily! The suspect information is as follows: Li Cheng, age: 28…”

Previously, this bunch of people had slandered Ye Chen in the World Chat, saying that he was cheating. At that time, they could not be bothered to deal with them. However, their names had already been recorded. If they did not hang them up now, what were they waiting for?

As expected, when Ye Chen used the loudspeaker, his message was pinned on the window. Everyone locked onto it immediately. Immediately, the World Chat exploded.

“What’s going on? The beast tide is actually man-made?”

“Let me see who it is that actually dares to scheme against Big Boss Ye Chen.”

“F*ck, it’s actually them. They’re really tired of living…”

“Oh, aren’t these people the same people who slandered Big Boss Ye Chen a few days ago? They have the means to stir up a beast tide? I really didn’t expect this!”

“My mutated beast is a hawk with excellent vision. I’ll go and find it now. I don’t think they can hide it anywhere.”

“If Big Boss Ye Chen doesn’t say what the thank you is, will our reward be blacklisted if we find someone and inform him? I’m a little flustered.”

“Come on, why would Big Boss Ye Chen care about these things?”

Once Ye Chen’s news was out, some people immediately responded. There were also some who remained doubtful. Relatively speaking, there were more people who believed in Ye Chen.

Ye Chen exited the system interface after sending this message. However, before he launched it, he set up a few key words in his chat box. When someone reported to him, Ye Chen would sense them and communicate with him.

In a corner of the wilderness, a few people also saw the news that Ye Chen posted on the World Chat. Their expressions changed drastically. These people were the ones who started the beast tide.

Back then, they had split up but as they walked, they realized that with their current situation, it was difficult for them to move in the wilderness.

“What do you think we should do now? How did Ye Chen find us?”

“Hehe, how else could it be? This Ye Chen may look high and mighty in the eyes of others but he’s actually a petty person who holds grudges.”

“You’re saying that Ye Chen didn’t know who put us up there because we offended him in the World Chat?”

“Otherwise?”

“This Ye Chen is really sinister! Should we go to the World Chat to clarify?”

“What’s there to clarify now? Everyone in the world is looking for us. Isn’t going up there courting death?”

“So what do we do? Eh… what’s this?”

The few of them discussed Ye Chen hatefully as they walked. They did not know if these people were lucky or not. After taking a few steps, they found a cave. The space at the entrance of the cave was distorting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The few of them did not enter when they were blocking Ye Chen, so they did not know that this was the entrance to the Mystic Realm. They looked at each other and finally decided to explore.

In their words, they would do it while alive. If they died, they would pay the price. They were already wanted. Since they couldn’t go anywhere, they might as well take a gamble.

…

Divine Court Tribe, outside the gorge.

The Immortal Phoenix and the Titan Giant Ape stood there and looked at Ye Chen.

In Ye Chen’s hand was a jade slip that the Kun Peng had brought back. It was what they had borrowed from others.

“If what’s recorded in this thing is true, then this world is too big…”

“Yes, Master. We came back late precisely because we saw this thing. We believed that you would be interested and waited for them over there. In the end, we borrowed it.” The Kun Peng had transformed into a big fish and was devouring the wild beasts over there. Naturally, the Immortal Phoenix explained to Ye Chen again.

“According to the records here, we can only be considered a corner of the wilderness. Compared to the boundless wilderness, this is the true ‘wilderness’?”

Ye Chen was shocked. This jade slip was a letter from an ancient person. It recorded that this was only a small piece of the Wasteland Continent, the most barren place.

Outside was the true colorful world.. There were all kinds of ferocious beasts and various races. They were extremely powerful and could move mountains and fill seas…
