Chapter 1314: Chapter 543 Healing Hand

Attracted by the leopard was yet another leopard, sharing a similar pattern of black and red. These two leopards looked alike with identical attributes.

[HP: 500,000/500,000]

[Mana: 200,000/200,000]

[Level: Level 5, Lord]

[Internal Impurity: 22%]

[Awakening: Body of the Dark Night]

The only difference between them was the amount of internal impurity: the leopard that submitted to Wang Tao had 20%, while this enticed leopard had 22%...

"Roar!"

The second leopard had already been entangled by Jiang Shixue and the others, unable to escape. It was already in a panic when it saw Wang Tao approaching without disguising his presence and charging straight at it, falling into complete despair.

It had intended to hunt its kin opportunistically but it had become the prey itself.

"Stop struggling, you can’t escape," Wang Tao said.

After Wang Tao joined the fray, the second leopard lost all its strength to resist and was quickly beaten half to death by him.

Looking into the eyes of the desperate leopard, Wang Tao, as before, offered it the same two choices.

"Submit or die," he stated.

"Whimper?"

The leopard, which had been waiting for death, was suddenly stunned.

It hadn’t expected this human to communicate with it and, to its even greater surprise, the human didn’t seem interested in eating it—there was still a chance to live!

Without any hesitation, the leopard chose to live. The smartest creatures are often the most fearful of death.

Once he confirmed the leopard’s submission, Wang Tao used his spiritual power to communicate thoroughly with it.

He found its experience similar to the previous leopard; it had lived in this rift for as long as it could remember. To survive, it hunted mutated plants and ensured it wasn’t hunted by other mutant beasts itself. It, too, knew of Mammoth Base, but because a terrifying aura emanated from it, the leopard dared not approach...

"You two are as if carved from the same mold," Wang Tao commented, stroking his chin.

He thought these two leopards might share the same mother, but with no sign of their parents in this rift, there was no way to confirm it.

"This is what we’ll do to tell you apart; I’ll give you names. You’ll be... Da Hua, and you’ll be Er Hua," Wang Tao decided.

His naming convention remained as concise and potent as ever.

The one who first submitted to Wang Tao was named Da Hua, and the newly submissive one Er Hua.

"Whimper~"

"Whimper~"

Both leopards joyfully accepted their new names.

"Now, let’s continue. Lure out the remaining mutant beasts," Wang Tao commanded, employing the same method using the two injured leopards as bait.

And so, two days passed.

Looking at the six identical leopards around him, which looked as if they were cloned, Wang Tao fell silent.

Although leopards were decently powerful, they were all still leopards! He wanted to see other types of mutant beasts...

According to Da Hua, all the mutant beasts in the rift had gathered here.

"So you’re telling me, in a place this large, there are only six of you leopards?" Wang Tao was not quite satisfied.

"Whimper~"

Da Hua explained that there used to be many of their kind, but due to food scarcity, they had to compete with each other. Plus, some mutated plants fought back, even laying traps, leading to the decease of many leopards until only these six remained.

However, those that survived were the strong ones, with each of the six leopards being a Level 5 Lord!

"Fine... then remember this, follow me and you’ll have plenty to eat, guaranteed a better life than before. But if I find out anyone harbors thoughts of rebellion, just wait for death," Wang Tao warned.

"Whimper~"

The leopards hastily acknowledged, remembering clearly.

They had competed with each other before due to food issues. After all, mutated plants were indeed difficult to eat. If Wang Tao could solve their food problem, they would never betray him no matter what.

Of course, even if Wang Tao didn’t deliver, they wouldn’t dare to rebel—after all, they simply couldn’t beat him!

They couldn’t understand; Wang Tao also emitted the aura of a Level 5, but why was his strength so terrifying?... They doubted they could beat him even if they teamed up. Not to mention, there was also the equally strong Jiang Shixue and Lightning.

Now that Wang Tao had subdued all the mutant beasts in the rift, it was time to cleanse the mutated plants. Having subdued the six leopards, Wang Tao tasked them with finding the remaining mutated plants, aiming to eliminate all mutated plants in the area. After all, they were all Crystal Cores!

...

Three days later, Wang Tao rubbed his slightly sore neck.

"There shouldn’t be any missed, right?"

"There shouldn’t be," Jiang Shixue nodded.

Although they hadn’t literally dug three feet into the ground, she and Wang Tao had probed beneath the surface with their spiritual power. Under such exhaustive search methods, there should be no oversights.

"Alright, let’s head back then," Wang Tao called out and then, accompanied by the six black and red leopards, surfaced.

Besides Da Hua, the other seven leopards had never been above ground. They took some time to adjust but soon didn’t have any issues.

Wang Tao whistled, and soon after, the massive Golden Eagle appeared in the sky.

For the leopards, both the huge Golden Eagle and the snowy, white world around them sparked curiosity. So despite still being injured, they seemed invigorated.

"Chirp~"

The Golden Eagle asked Wang Tao where they were heading.

At the same time, it complained to Wang Tao, expressing boredom over the past few days but not daring to roam too far. This led to it killing any Frozen Zombie that emerged nearby, effectively turning the area into a "safe zone."
