Chapter 7: Mutation and Confrontation
Gray woods
Due to the erosion of the power of the wilderness, the trees that were originally lush with foliage have withered and distorted, and have lost their original vitality.
And in the midst of these dead trees, an army was marching in an orderly manner, and with amazing mobility, it was advancing through layers of obstacles in a certain direction.
And if you look closely, there is no one in the army who is normal. Most of the soldiers who walked neatly were dressed in black cloth armor, their faces were wrapped with black marks, and most importantly, their skin had turned black and blue, and their eyes were completely devoid of human breath, like beasts that only knew instinct.
And standing in front of this group of soldiers are two creatures with strange shapes, although they have a humanoid body, but the muscles on their bodies, even the extra tail, and the claws that cannot be possessed by humans, are all revealed. Anyone who sees them can only call them monsters.
In front of the marching army, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking the front of the two humanoid creatures.
"Oh, I'm back so soon," said one of them, dark-skinned and with a faint red glow in his eyes, as he stared at the creature that was gradually emerging into a human form.
The black figure didn't make a sound, just silently gestured with his hand to something, and then returned to the group.
"Hey, what did that guy say?", asked a stout creature with a giant hammer on the side.
"It's where the rats are hiding, not far from here. Xiutuo looked at the mountains and forests not far away, and a different light appeared in his eyes.
"Hmph, those guys can really hide...... It's been a month now, and these guys are the last generals we've found. The strange man with the giant hammer said very dissatisfied.
"After completing this task, you will be able to return to your side, and I don't know how many generals you have surrendered to the dungeon. The two of them did not care about the obstacles in the mountains, and walked directly towards the mountain village in the distance, while the two of them chatted from time to time.
"I should have all surrendered, the guys who didn't surrender were all punished by death, and those guys couldn't last long. Xiu Tuo said casually.
"Hmph, those guys don't have to surrender to the power of the adults! Now no one can resist the adults, even the gods can't match the power of the adults!", the creature holding the giant hammer held a deep awe of the 'adult' in the air.
"Alright, it's time to deal with these hiding rats!", Shuta said earnestly.

Hidden in a village in the mountains
Although it was early in the morning, there was a slight amount of smoke wafting from the village, and although the people here had lost their consciousness, they were still following the old way of life and operating rhythmically.
The faint smoke of cooking smoke mixed with the clouds in the mountains, bringing the whole mountain forest into a strange realm, mixing the silence and the mystery of the heavenly realm, forming a strange beauty, which makes people can't help but fall into it.
"If it weren't for the unconscious villagers...... I really think this is a holy place on earth!", said a young man, standing on a low stone cliff and looking at the village at his feet. Perhaps because of the fog, he was also shrouded, and it was not easy to see his face.
"What are you thinking about?", a girl's voice came from the side, and in the fog, she could be vaguely seen wearing a pale cyan Hanfu and carrying a spear behind her back, standing behind the young man, and asked with a smile.
"Nothing...... It's just a little surprising to see the contrast between the scenery and the facts. Chen looked at Xiao Lu who walked to his side, and couldn't help but reply.
"This, ah......", Xiaolu looked at the village at her feet, and wanted to say something, but swallowed it again.
"By the way, does Tatsu have any feelings for the Peerless Technique?", the girl suddenly changed the subject and asked the boy.
"A little bit...... But I still haven't figured out ......," Tatsumi replied as he stood among the clouds, looking at the constantly shifting mist stirred by the breeze.
"Ah~ If you have a clue, you can use it soon, and Tatsu doesn't have to worry about anything!", the girl said with a smile to Tatsu.
"Maybe it's ......," Tatsu replied casually as he felt the breeze coming back from the mountains and forests. But the next moment, Chen's face suddenly became solemn, he took a deep breath, and then captured the various breaths in the air.
“...... This isn't the breath of a human being...... But ...... the hell," Tatsumi said with some uncertainty.
And Xiaolu on the side also noticed the difference between the two at this time, with the power of dead silence, and was moving towards the village.
She said, with some uneasiness and anxiety, "Oh no...... Those two are...... Yuan Lu Zhi's subordinates!", the girl's face was also tense, and she looked at the young man beside her and said.
"Yuan Lu Zhi's men...... No, doesn't it mean that the core of the power of the 'Wild' is only Yuan Lu Zhi alone?", Chen asked with some confusion.
"When I first met Yuan Lu Zhi, he was indeed alone, and he barely escaped from the hands of dozens of our generals at that time. Later, perhaps in order to make up for the shortcomings in his troops, he gave part of his strength to ...... Some monsters, and then those monsters also have the power of 'Wild' and are able to fight us. ", the girl explained gradually.
“...... Then these two guys also have the power of 'Waste', ......", Chen's face also became a little unpleasant, after all, he had also seen that kind of power a little, the power of 'Star' and 'Waste' was restrained by each other, and I didn't know what the strength of these two people was.
"Well, so Chen, we're about to leave! there's no escape route behind us......," the girl said with some bitterness. Although it was an easy place to defend and difficult to attack at first, the back of this village is full of cliffs and stone walls, and it is indeed very difficult to escape from behind.
"I can only give it a try!", Tatsumi looked at the black dots that appeared faintly not far away, and also made up his mind a little.
The two of them jumped from the low stone cliff, Chen is controlling the wind and slowly falling to the ground, Xiaolu on the side also used a similar method, but it was still a little worse than Chen. The two of them walked quickly from the stone cliff towards the entrance of the village.
Although it is said that it is the current situation of the great enemy, the people in the village are still acting as always, and the changes in the outside world cannot interfere with them at all. Or even if they were killed, they wouldn't know about themselves, right?
The two men walked quickly through the village, and as they walked to the edge of the village, a young man in armor stopped them. Tatsumi looked up at the young man and knew that it was the one who had come running to ask for help the night before.
"You ?......", Chen Gang wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by the young man.
"I vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but I didn't find anything after several inspections, Lord Xiaolu? is it now?", the young man's title of Xiaolu made Chen feel inexplicably awkward, but now there is really no time for him to correct this.
"Yuan Lu Zhi's men have already chased here, and we can only go to fight now. Xiaolu's face at this time no longer had the fear and uneasiness just now, and she just said this very indifferently.
"No, you!", the young man's face suddenly changed greatly, and he looked at Xiao Lu with a resolute tone, but he was speechless.
"What's wrong?", Tatsumi couldn't help but ask with some confusion when he noticed the awkward relationship between Xiaolu and the person in front of him.
"Nothing...... Let's go, Chen, which two guys are stuck in front of the mountain road. Xiaolu looked at the mountain road not far away and vaguely saw two human figures.
"En......", Chen glanced at the young man who was holding the long sword in his hand again, wanting to say something but was patient, although he felt a little strange but did not delve into it.
Chen and Xiaolu embarked on the route outside the village like this, and the young man standing behind the two of them just looked at them silently, saying no words or making any movements, but he could see that his body was trembling slightly. He still remembers that look at that time, with a look of determination and disregard.
"Xiaolu ......", the young man finally recited the name.
............
The distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer, and Tatsumi was able to see clearly the two humanoid monsters standing in front of him with his amazing eyesight.
One is armed with a sledgehammer, covered in gray-black skin and stripes, and the muscles on his body are also knotted. The other is holding a pair of knives, his body is thin, but his red eyes release a terrifying murderous aura.
I said...... Xiaolu, how sure are you in the face of these two guys?", Chen asked seriously. The two people in front of him, even if they are placed in the scarlet bullet, are not inferior to the characters of the Yama, and with his current strength, Chen is estimated to only be able to withstand one.
"Even if you're not sure, you have to give it a try, right?Chen?Even if you don't have that much hope, you have to give it a try!", the girl said calmly, not seeing the slightest hesitation before.
"Xiaolu ......", Chen looked at the girl who disappeared between the clouds and mist of the mountain road, and couldn't help shouting and chased after her. Tatsumi vaguely sensed something ominous, but he couldn't feel what it was.
"Oh, you're finally out?", said the strange man with a sledgehammer, looking at the two men emerging from the clouds, as if mocking.
"If you're here to surrender now, we'll be okay with it, anyway, we've killed so many guys who escaped, and the mission is almost complete, if you're interested, go and stay in the dungeon of Ueda Castle!", the strange man with two knives in his hand didn't seem to want to do it immediately.
"Surrender, no, just get rid of you. Xiaolu held the spear in her hand, pointed the tip of the gun at the two and said, her tone was inexplicably tough.
"You're so confident, little ghost. The strange man with the sledgehammer seemed to be a little unable to stand Xiaolu's provocative words, and placed the hammer on the ground, causing a wave of rocks.
"Looks like this is the only way to solve it. Chen, sighed, looked at the mountain road that had been completely sealed, and also took out the scimitar from his arms, and looked at the two strange people in front of him seriously.
