Chapter 1311: Chapter 541 The Vegetarian Leopard_2

"You’d better hurry back and don’t delay the treatment,"

Wang Tao waved his hand.

"Okay!"

Shen Cuishan didn’t say anything more and immediately went back to Peng Nan and Zhuo Song. The three of them found a modified off-road vehicle they had hidden earlier and then left the area under Wang Tao’s watchful eye.

Although their poison gas bomb had also killed many zombies in the factory, their own safety was now the priority, and they needed to head back quickly. As for the Crystal Cores in the factory, Wang Tao could go and collect them once the poison gas dispersed. If Wang Tao didn’t take them, they could check again when they came back next time.

After Shen Cuishan and the others left, Wang Tao turned to Jiang Shixue and asked,

"Do you think we should wait here for a day or go check out the Rift first and come back after a day?"

"Let’s go to the Rift first!"

Jiang Shixue said without hesitation.

Waiting here for a day would be boring; it would be better to go to the Rift and hunt some monsters to get some exercise.

"Alright, then we’ll head to the Rift."

Wang Tao whistled, and soon the Golden Eagle appeared before him.

A moment later, the Golden Eagle took Wang Tao to the outside of Mammoth Base.

Since the Rift was limited in space and not suitable for the Golden Eagle to perform well, things would be like before—Wang Tao let the Golden Eagle go have its own fun, while he, carrying Jiang Shixue and Lightning, entered into the Rift.

Returning to the Mammoth Rank, there was no noticeable change from when he had left. However, when he saw those exquisitely crafted stone sculptures, Wang Tao still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But to deal with that so-called "Stone God," Wang Tao had no confidence at all, even feeling that even if he ascended to Level 6, he would still be no match for the Stone God. After all, the "Destruction Level (Damaged)" created by the Stone God were strong enough, so the true strength of the Stone God itself must be even more terrifying...

"Stop thinking about this; improving my strength is what matters."

Wang Tao allowed Lightning to grow larger, carrying him and Jiang Shixue as they plunged into the dark fog.

This Rift was a bit different from the previous ones Wang Tao had entered.

The previous Rift was full of mutated plants, but this one had mostly mutated plants with some mutated animals as well.

The most fundamental difference between mutated plants and mutated animals was that mutated plants couldn’t move or couldn’t move far, generally lying in wait. Mutant animals, on the other hand, could move freely... which meant that, on balance, mutated animals were more dangerous.

Especially since even those with Night Vision Ability couldn’t fully see through the dark fog, there could be a lurking mutant beast out of sight at any moment.

However, for Wang Tao, this naturally was not a problem. He gently waved his hand, and the hazy dark fog immediately dispersed like a retreating tide. Jiang Shixue, who had Night Vision Ability, and Lightning soon had a very clear view of their surroundings.

"There’s a monster!"

As the dark fog cleared, Jiang Shixue spotted a mutant beast crouching on the ground in the distance, intently staring at them with a slightly open mouth, revealing sharp teeth that sparkled coldly, as if it was ready to pounce at any moment.

Wang Tao naturally also noticed the mutant beast right away.

[HP: 500,000/500,000]

[Mana: 200,000/200,000]

[Level: Level 5, Lord]

[Internal Impurity: 20%]

[Awakening: Body of the Dark Night]

[Body of the Dark Night: All Basic Attributes greatly enhanced, Dark Attribute Defense significantly increased, Attack accompanied by Dark Property Damage]

This was a mutant leopard covered in black fur with dark red spots scattered all over its body. It was slightly smaller than Lightning and had 500,000 HP, which was quite good among Level 5 Lords.

Its awakening ability was the "Body of the Dark Night," which Wang Tao had not seen before, similar to the "Body of Ice" of the Frozen Zombies he had hunted earlier, presumably a double Attribute of both Body and Dark.

But today was clearly not its lucky day.

"Attack!"

Wang Tao didn’t make a move himself; instead, Lightning and Jiang Shixue charged forward together.

The mutant leopard seemed a bit confused. It hadn’t expected that the prey it had targeted had spotted it.

But it didn’t think it was a problem—as prey was prey no matter how much it struggled.

However, just as it was about to pounce, it suddenly felt the terrifying aura of Jiang Shixue and Lightning.

As a result, the mutant leopard didn’t hesitate to turn and flee.

It was very decisive, but clearly, its speed was no match for Jiang Shixue’s. She caught up to it in an instant, and then the battle was completely one-sided.

In just a moment, the mutant leopard was left with only a sliver of HP after being beaten by Jiang Shixue and Lightning. Wang Tao walked over unhurriedly. He was going to end the life of the mutant leopard with one stroke, but then he thought of Lightning, the Golden Eagle, and other quite intelligent mutant beasts. He suddenly probed the mutant leopard’s mind with his psychic power.

"Submit or die."

While speaking, Wang Tao displayed his aura without reservation.

Feeling that this man’s aura was far more terrifying than Lightning and Jiang Shixue, the Leopard’s eyes bulged, and then it lowered its head, curling up at Wang Tao’s feet.

"Whine..."

It was willing to submit.

"Not bad at all!"

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

He thought that if Lightning could willingly follow him, and the Golden Eagle had been subdued by him, then this clearly intelligent Leopard might also be possible to subdue.

Sure enough, when Wang Tao used his spiritual power to tell the Leopard to submit or die, it immediately chose to submit. After all, it didn’t want to die if it could live.

"Huh? Has it submitted to you?"

Jiang Shixue looked at the submissive Leopard and asked with some curiosity.

"Yeah, pretty much like the Golden Eagle."

Wang Tao squatted down and stroked the Leopard’s head.

The Leopard didn’t dare to resist. It stared with wide eyes, wearing a somewhat pitiful expression, looking at Wang Tao like a little wretch, nothing like its ferocious appearance before.

"Haha!"

Wang Tao still preferred cute pets, and even though the Leopard did not look like an easy target, in front of Wang Tao, there was no difference between it and a cute pet.

However, considering that it had just been subdued, Wang Tao wasn’t clear on its "Leopard temperament," so he still had to be cautious.

"Follow me, and don’t run off."

"Whine~"

The Leopard nodded immediately.

Suddenly, like he had just remembered something, Wang Tao immediately asked:

"Right, you must be very familiar with this place, right?"

"Whine~"

"Okay, then lead me to the other Mutant Beasts and Mutated Plants."

"Whine~"

The Leopard indicated that Mutant Beasts’ locations were not fixed. For instance, it itself often ran around, so they were hard to find. But Mutated Plants were simple; it knew the location of many Mutated Plants.

"You lead the way."

The Leopard instantly became the guide.

But it didn’t have much of a relationship with other Mutant Beasts, and as for Mutated Plants, there was no question of communication. So it had no psychological burden.

"How do you survive here? What do you usually eat?"

On the way searching for other Mutated Plants, Wang Tao asked with some curiosity.

"Whine~"

The Leopard said it would generally hunt Mutated Plants to replenish its physical strength.

"...Turns out you’re a vegetarian?"

"Whine~"

The Leopard looked wronged as it didn’t want to be vegetarian, but Mutant Beasts were strong. There were no Level 4 Mutant Beasts here, only Level 5, and Mutant Beasts were quite agile. Even if it could fight them, it might not be able to kill them. Most importantly, it had to ensure it wasn’t gravely injured, or it would become food for other Mutant Beasts...

So, the legless Mutated Plants became its target. Although Mutated Plants were hard to eat, they were nutritious and ensured it wouldn’t starve. Besides, there were many Mutated Plants, and their strength varied greatly. It had no pressure hunting those weaker Mutated Plants...

"Follow me well from now on, I’ll take you to eat meat."

Wang Tao patted the Leopard’s head.

"Whine~"

The Leopard hadn’t eaten meat for a long time and had almost forgotten what meat tasted like.

Under the Leopard’s guidance, Wang Tao quickly found the Mutated Plants, and they were a group of Level 5 Lords!

"Not bad."

Wang Tao stroked the Leopard’s head, then a huge broadsword appeared in his hand.

"Go!"
