Chapter 716: Chapter 716: Mutated Species

"Whoosh...bang!"

In the darkness of night, above the sea,

the signal flare, trailing a long tail, burst open in the sky.

This immediately set off a series of horn sounds across Evil Island.

What they didn’t know was that a speedboat had already stopped on the other side of the small island.

"This guy is really obedient, huh."

Xu Zhi Rou looked at the signal flare on the sea’s surface, which was released by the bearded man.

"Isn’t that inevitable? After all, he has become my puppet, and I’ve already issued the command. Once he fires the signal flare, he will jump into the sea to his death."

Ning Meng Yao pinched Xu Zhi Rou’s chin with a proud look on her face, "If you don’t behave, I’ll turn you into a puppet too, and have you wait at home for Lin Fan with your butt naked every day."

"I’ll behave, isn’t that enough?"

In front of Ning Meng Yao, Xu Zhi Rou immediately turned docile, hugging her waist with a flattering face.

The times had changed, and she was no longer the powerless person she had been.

What was even more terrifying was that she now had seven tails that were more flexible than hands.

In front of her, Xu Zhi Rou was like a lamb to the slaughter.

"You’re not well-behaved at all! Last night you even dared to team up with Lin Fan to deal with me. If there’s a next time, I’ll make you pay."

Ning Meng Yao slapped her on the butt with a mischievous smile.

Last night, with Lin Fan helping her, she was completely at a disadvantage.

"Alright, alright, I won’t dare again. Shall I help you deal with him tonight?

Their close relationship allowed Xu Zhi Rou to laugh more unrestrainedly.

After all, they shared the same bed, and she had taken her fair share of advantages.

This intimacy of serving the same husband made them comfortable with each other’s bodies.

"Tonight you can’t bully anyone; we need to walk further inside and see what’s happened."

Lin Fan took out two backpacks from the cabin and handed them to the two women.

"Okay."

Both women stuck out their tongues, playful as ever in their daily antics.

But now they had serious matters at hand, which couldn’t be treated lightly.

"But it’s so high, how are we going to get up there?"

After putting on their gear, Xu Zhi Rou realized that their boat was docked right below a cliff.

Although the high tide had covered many of the rocks,

there was still more than ten meters to the top.

The sharp cliff, as if cut by a knife, made climbing extremely dangerous.

If they fell due to a misstep, they would be drawn into the swirling currents.

"Zhi Rou, you’ll have to get used to the world of Martial Artists quickly."

Ning Meng Yao winked playfully.

Her fox tails slowly extended behind her, steadily lifting her up.

The remaining tails then pierced directly into the cliff face.

Like steel nails inserted into it, she began to climb upward.

The effortlessly elegant way she did so made Xu Zhi Rou very envious.

Sadly, she’d probably never grow a tail in her lifetime.

"Enough of that, stop watching her show off, and hold on tight."

Lin Fan walked over with a smile and directly scooped Xu Zhi Rou into his arms.

Before she could even ask, Lin Fan pushed off from the deck with his foot.

The two of them shot up like a cannonball, effortlessly landing on the cliff face.

"Wow!"

It wasn’t until they landed that Xu Zhi Rou couldn’t help but gasp at the cool air.

This superhuman mode of movement was something she really had to get used to.

"Hey, don’t go so fast, wait for me!"

Ning Meng Yao, after climbing up, retracted her fox tails and quickly walked towards them.

"It seems, no matter how good the tools are, they can’t compare to absolute power."

Xu Zhi Rou said with a mischievous wink.

Lin Fan’s method, simple, direct, and brutal, was by far the most straightforward.

Ning Meng Yao was just about to retort when Lin Fan raised his hand to stop her.

"Something is coming."

Unexpectedly, danger struck as soon as they set foot on the island; Lin Fan frowned slightly.

With his keen sense of perception, any movement within a two-hundred-meter radius could hardly escape his attention.

At this moment, it was coming from the woods, no more than fifty meters away.

And from within the jungle, there came a series of low growls.

But this sound, which seemed like a call but not quite, was truly baffling.

At least it didn’t match any creature they remembered.

"Roar!"

Finally, after the over-two-meter-tall weeds shook.

Two Komodo dragons burst forth.

However, these creatures were now even larger in size.

Moving around, they indeed resembled an off-road vehicle.

Moreover, their thick claws were flashing with a cold light.

Their rows of sharp teeth constantly flicked out their tongues.

The agile creatures, with blood-red eyes, pounced towards the three of them.

Their bodies hadn’t yet reached them, but a foul stench already assaulted their noses.

"This can’t be Komodo dragons, right?"

Xu Zhi Rou, stunned, stared at the giants over four meters long, their size comparable to an adult male lion.

And their originally short and thick legs had also become significantly more slender.

Allowing them to run incredibly fast.

The fifty-meter distance was closed in the blink of an eye.

"Be careful!"

Xu Zhi Rou instinctively drew her pistol and pulled the trigger at the two giant lizards.

Due to the strong magnetic fields on Evil Island, many advanced weapons were unusable.

Fortunately, Xu Zhi Rou had considered this before entering, using old-fashioned mechanical control.

"Bang! Bang..."

With each gunshot, the bullets struck the charging lizards.

Unexpectedly, the bullets had no effect whatsoever.

They only created sparks upon impact before disappearing without a trace.

Yet the lizards didn’t stop for a moment, continuing to charge at the three with their foul-mouthed maws wide open.

"Bullets are useless!"

Looking at the thick hides of the lizards, which were definitely as tough as steel.

This left Xu Zhi Rou at a loss for what to do.

"Leave this to me."

Standing behind them, Ning Mengyao launched her attack first.

Four fox tails stretched out and astonishingly bound the lizards together.

As the fox tails pulled tight, the two lizards were lifted off the ground.

After struggling in vain for a while, the lizards eventually ceased their movements.

"These can’t be ordinary Komodo dragons, their skin feels harder than crocodile hide, not like any normal creature."

Xu Zhi Rou squinted her eyes, examining the stripes on the lizards’ bodies.

At first glance, they resembled Komodo dragons, but upon closer inspection, it was clear their defensive power was far greater than that of crocodiles.

"Could they be a new species?"

Ning Mengyao observed the awkward creatures with interest.

Since they weren’t dragons, then perhaps they were a different kind of ancient animal.

"I’m afraid they’re not a new species, but rather ones that have been asleep for thousands of years," Lin Fan said as he approached and observed the restrained lizards.

He had a rough idea why Evil Island was the source of such strange occurrences.

"Asleep for thousands of years... could it be they appeared long ago?"

Xu Zhi Rou couldn’t believe it as she looked at Lin Fan.

"Yes, indeed very long ago. To be precise, they are the pets of the Drought, who lived by her side, hence their extreme resistance to drought, and they are the kind with fully maxed out defensive power," Lin Fan explained as he rubbed his nose. "Our last visit awoke not just the Tomb Guardian but also many mythical beasts that disappeared centuries ago!"
