Screech!

The Sun God Envoy hovered in the air. It had just been born and was equally curious about the outside world.

“It took quite some time to hatch the Sun God Envoy. I wonder if the others have explored the wilderness.”

In order to hatch the Immortal Phoenix, Ye Chen did not pay attention to any news from the outside world for a day. He only learned about this new world from that robotic voice.

Ye Chen opened the World Channel to get some information from there.

“My mutated beast is a D-Rank, Iron-Horned Rhinoceros. It’s huge. I thought it would be easy to get some food outside but as soon as I went out, I met an adult Iron-Horned Rhinoceros in the wilderness. Good heavens, it’s like a small mountain. It was like a grandson meeting his grandfather. I was dumbfounded.”

“This is nothing. My mutated beast is also D-Ranked, the Hurricane Wolf, and it is known for its speed. However, after meeting a tortoise in the wilderness, I realized that I know nothing about speed.”

“I feel that it’s better to be cautious and observe our prey first. If we meet a tough opponent, we won’t even have a place to cry.”

“Agreed. My Mutated Beast Falcon was flying well in the sky when it was knocked out by the Sky Straying Rabbit on the ground.”

“The wilderness is too terrifying. I wanted to find a place to rest but the grass by the pathway was full of beasts. They almost dragged me away.”

“Boohoo… Mommy, I want to go home!”

“The brother above, maybe your mother is here too.”

“Ha ha ha… you’re too mean. But I like it.”

“Everyone, don’t be anxious. There’s definitely a difference between a newborn mutated beast and a mutated beast from the wilderness. It’ll get better in the future.”

“In the future… Can we live until that?”

The World Channel fell into a short silence.

It was clear that these words brought about great pressure, as if he was asking others but also asking himself.

“Everything will be fine.”

“Hahaha, I am blessed by the European King. I am currently beside a Yellow Peach Tree. Food is not a problem.”

“After you eat it, it won’t take you half an hour before you get all itchy. Don’t ask me how I know—”

“You can’t drink the water here either. Does anyone have any clue about the transparent Iron Threadworms?”

“Hahaha…”

With the interruption from these few people, the originally gloomy World Channel became active again.

Ye Chen closed the World Channel. He knew that the World Channel was in a miserable state but he did not expect it to be so miserable.

This was out of Ye Chen’s expectations.

It seemed that he had to assess the danger level of this world.

He was glad that he had looked at the chat. Now, he knew about a lot of things.

If he had relied on the presence of the Sun God Envoy and rashly explored, he probably would have suffered a huge loss.

“Sun God Envoy, it’s up to you!”

Ye Chen looked at the Undying Phoenix that was circling around happily in the sky and felt somewhat confident.

“Screech…”

At this moment, Ye Chen felt a slight tremor on the ground and a low growl.

The Undying Phoenix in the sky also sensed danger approaching. It swooped down and landed on Ye Chen’s shoulder, looking at the source of the sound.

Before long, the shadow of a beast appeared in front of them. Before they could see its size, the shadow that was illuminated by the Sun covered Ye Chen.

When Ye Chen saw the beast clearly, he sucked in a breath of cold air. It looked like a pig and was as big as two elephants. There was a ferocious glint in its eyes, giving people the feeling that it was extremely dangerous.

Ye Chen stared at him and golden words appeared on his retina.

[Giant Rhinoceros Boar]

[Race: Mammal Rhino]

[Rank: D]

[Status: Growth Period]

[Endowment: Brutal Charge, Violent Stomp]

[Attack: 1100]

[Defense: 1600]

[Description: Relied on the head of the rhinoceros to ram into enemies, as well as its own weight for stomping. Its skin is thick and hard to break through. Attacking its abdomen will have miraculous effects.]

“This is a Rhinoceros Boar? Good heavens, this golden finger is quite good. Its weakness has been revealed.”

In the World Channel, Ye Chen had seen that this was also the mutated beast hatched by some people.

After looking at his interface, Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief. A Divine Beast was indeed Divine. The Rhinoceros Boar had already matured and its attributes were about the same as the Immortal Phoenix.

The growth stages of the mutated beasts were: Hatchling, Infant, Growth, Adulthood, Strong, Old, Degeneration. The difference in strength between each stage was huge.

The Rhinoceros Boar lowered its head slightly and let out a deep growl. Its front hooves were constantly digging into the ground and the sharp horns on its head were dark, giving people a feeling that the horns were very thick. If it was to push those horns against a surface, there would probably be a hole.

“Hi, how are you? Can I borrow some meat to eat?”

Ye Chen waved at it with a smile on his face. He even exchanged a few words during the process so that he could try to understand the other party.

“Roar!”

Unfortunately, the Rhinoceros Boar’s response was to attack. With a swipe of its front hooves, it charged towards him.

“Sigh, you don’t understand peace.” Ye Chen shook his head and took a step back. What a joke. He would not clash head-on with mutated beasts. He already had a division of power in his heart. The Immortal Phoenix would be in charge of the battle while he would clean up the battlefield.

Screech!

Seeing Ye Chen retreat, the Immortal Phoenix could not hold it in any longer. It let out a loud cry and flew towards the Rhinoceros Boar. Golden flames surged all over its body and it arrived above the Rhinoceros Boar in the blink of an eye. It flapped its flaming wings and spat out a line of fire from its mouth.

As a mythical beast, the Undying Phoenix could not be bothered to use its innate magical powers against a beast that was similar in strength to itself. Even though it knew that the weakness of the Rhinoceros Boar was in its abdomen, it did not attack it. Instead, it chose to face it head-on.

This was a Divine Beast, defeating the stronger aspect!

“Hewww…”

The flames spewed out by the Immortal Phoenix were extremely hot. The Rhinoceros Boar’s hair was instantly ignited and the terrifying heat made it wail incessantly.

Not long after, Ye Chen could smell the fragrance of roasted meat in the air. His hunger was instantly aroused and he could not help but gulp a few times.

[Immortal Phoenix killed the Giant Rhinoceros Boar. EXP Gained.]

[Mutated beast obtains EXP. Host will receive EXP at the same time.]

After a while, the system’s voice sounded in Ye Chen’s mind. He knew that the Rhinoceros Boar had been roasted alive by the flames.

“Sun God Envoy, well done.”

Ye Chen could not help but praise the Immortal Phoenix for ending the battle so quickly.

Upon hearing its master’s praise, the Immortal Phoenix let out a loud cry and returned to Ye Chen’s shoulder. It rubbed its little head against Ye Chen’s neck with a joyful expression.

What Ye Chen did not expect was that the Immortal Phoenix could also gain experience points by killing wild beasts. Although leveling up was useless, it was better than nothing.

“What is this?”

When he was about to deal with the beast and move it, Ye Chen noticed a glowing wooden box at its original position. Before Ye Chen could think further, the system’s voice sounded in his mind again.

Ding… Congratulations on obtaining a Wooden Treasure Chest.
