My Talent Skill Mutated

Chapter 137: Chapter 88: Beast Tide

After looking it over, Chen Yu passed the documents to Baili Qing.

The burly man standing to the side didn’t interrupt.

Baili Qing also read through the documents, his expression turning serious. "Brother Yu, it looks like there are a lot of mutant beasts this time. And from the looks of it, their numbers are still increasing."

Chen Yu remained calm. "Let them increase. A few more or less doesn’t make much difference. We just need to be careful. Besides the mutant beasts, we also have to watch out for the Heterodox Sect."

"There might be a Heterodox Sect stronghold in the North Mountain area. It’s not confirmed, though—just some rumors I’ve heard."

The burly man suddenly interjected.

Hm?

Chen Yu looked at the burly man. ’A Heterodox Sect stronghold in the North Mountain area?’

Hearing the man’s words, Chen Yu suddenly felt a surge of excitement.

Meanwhile, the expressions on Baili Qing and An Ran’s faces grew solemn.

"Is there any proof?" Chen Yu asked.

The burly man shook his head. "No proof at the moment, just rumors. I heard them from a Mercenary Team. If you all want to know the specifics, you can go check with the Mercenary Team tomorrow."

"The Mercenary Team..."

The three of them exchanged a glance, frowning.

Subconsciously, their minds went back to the incident in Jiang City.

They had followed the clues and eventually discovered a Heterodox Sect stronghold, but besides the sect, they had also run into the Alien Race!

But last time, there had been a traitor in the Mercenary Team...

’So this time, could there be one too?’

Chen Yu couldn’t be sure.

The Pantheon Sect and the Divine Authority Council were hidden too deep.

Ordinary methods were completely unable to uncover them.

Their infiltration ran deep.

Moreover, the Mercenary Association was a relatively loose organization.

Its members were a complicated mix!

’To find out if there was a traitor, the only way would be for Baili to use his Mental Superpower to probe them one by one.’

’But that was obviously impossible.’

"Alright, thank you. We’ll go take a look tomorrow," Chen Yu nodded.

The burly man smiled. "You’re welcome. It’s just a small thing. I hope it helps you."

"The three of you can rest here. I’ll be leaving now. This is my business card. If you need anything, you can contact me anytime. I can provide some assistance in Tang City."

The burly man took out a business card and handed it to them. It had only a simple contact number on it.

Chen Yu and the others nodded. The burly man didn’t stay any longer and left the villa.

"Brother Yu, are we really going to the Mercenary Team tomorrow?" Baili Qing asked from the side, looking at Chen Yu.

"Let’s go to the North Mountain area first tomorrow and see what happens," Chen Yu said.

’If there really is a Heterodox Sect hideout, perhaps my Force Field perception will be of great use.’

’He could sense it even if it was deep underground.’

"Alright." The other two had no objections.

"Let’s rest up and save our energy. Tomorrow will probably be tough," Chen Yu said, standing up.

The two of them nodded and went to their respective rooms.

...

The night was serene. In the depths of the night, the bustling lights of Tang City had faded.

In a basement somewhere in Tang City.

Under the dim light, an old man sat in a chair with his eyes closed, seemingly waiting for something.

After a short while, a person dressed in black entered the basement and came before the old man.

"President," the black-clad person said with a respectful bow.

The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person before him.

"How are the preparations?"

The old man’s hoarse voice rasped.

The black-clad person replied respectfully, "President, everything has been deployed according to your plan. We’ve coordinated with the Dark Spirit Race as well. We are ready to launch at any time."

Hearing this, a satisfied expression appeared on the old man’s face. "Very good. You may leave. Launch tomorrow according to the original plan."

"Yes!" The black-clad person nodded and then left the basement.

"The eight hundred thousand people of Tang City, thank you for the sacrifice of your lives. Enjoy your last peaceful night..." the old man whispered, a glint flashing in his murky eyes.

「The night passed quickly.」

The next day, Chen Yu’s group of three left the villa at the crack of dawn.

The three of them sped across the wilderness outside Tang City.

Before long, the three arrived at the North Mountain region.

The mountains were high and the forests dense, with peak after peak stretching into the distance. In the early morning, the mist had not yet dissipated, and a thick fog covered the woods.

Activating his Biological Force Field, Chen Yu enveloped the area in his powerful perception. Mountain after mountain was covered by his Biological Force Field.

Every blade of grass, every tree, was clearly fed back into his mind.

It was like a movie, with every frame perfectly clear.

Under the power of his Force Field perception, no living thing could hide.

However, things didn’t go as smoothly as he had imagined.

After scanning several mountains, he only detected the Life Fluctuations of a few mutant beasts, and they were very weak. All the ones he sensed were below Level 3; there wasn’t a single Level 3 Mutant Beast to be found.

This situation was completely different from the description in the mission briefing.

It didn’t match up at all.

’Did the mutant beasts move?’

’Or are mutant beasts with special abilities hiding themselves?’

Chen Yu’s brows furrowed deeply.

Seeing Chen Yu frown, An Ran couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Yu, what’s wrong? Didn’t you sense any mutant beasts?"

Baili Qing also looked at Chen Yu.

They both knew that Chen Yu had a powerful perceptive ability that could sense the Life Fluctuations of mutant beasts.

But from the look on Chen Yu’s face, it seemed he had run into trouble.

Chen Yu gazed at the overlapping mountain ranges. "Something’s not right. Across several mountains, I only found a few Level 1 and Level 2 mutant beasts."

An Ran blinked. "Brother Yu, have you scanned everything?"

Chen Yu shook his head.

"Then maybe the mutant beasts are deeper in. Let’s head into the mountains to check," An Ran said.

"Let’s go. We’ll check it out first," Chen Yu nodded. Then, with a flash, his figure vanished into the mountain forest.
