Chapter 1 Opportunity

"Boom."

The earth shook violently, and even dozens of *li* away, one could feel the tremor.

"What happened?"

Wan Jiangui was startled.

Beside Wan Jiangui, Ye Yu's gaze was solemn. His eyesight was excellent, and he faintly saw something like a meteorite falling at an extremely high speed.

He figured the earthquake was caused by it.

Ye Yu said, "Let's go take a look. Maybe we can find mysterious iron or something in the meteorite."

Ye Yu's group consisted of three people: besides Ye Yu and Wan Jiangui, there was also Gao Yiheng, another trusted confidant of Ye Yu.

Of course, Wan Jiangui was his number one lackey; Ye Yu was closest to Wan Jiangui.

Their destination was an industrial park that had already been abandoned before the apocalypse.

As they got closer, Ye Yu saw from afar a huge pit, much larger than the one Chen Luo had created by stomping his foot that day.

Damn it, he ruined my playground that day, and said he would pay for it, but he never gave me anything.

A scene that horrified Ye Yu appeared.

As the dust settled, a man roared to the sky, his hands open, five fingers pointing upwards, suspended in the air, his long hair flowing in the wind behind him.

With the man's roar, one behemoth after another crawled out of the ground.

A total of four, earth-yellow giants stood beside the man, each step causing a tremor in the ground.

Ye Yu's eyes were full of disbelief. Each of these giants gave him a sense of oppression, and there were four of them.

He couldn't beat even one of them.

After the disbelief, an expression of extreme joy appeared on Ye Yu's face.

A mutant! It must be a mutant, and a super powerful one, far exceeding what he already knew.

What if he could obtain its crystal?

Ye Yu absolutely didn't believe that these were normal humans or zombies. Chen Luo wasn't nearly this awesome.

Ye Yu's breathing became rapid. Opportunity had arrived. As long as he got its crystal, he could soar to the sky.

What would Chen Luo be then? Only one level higher than him. He might even be able to rise two levels in a row.

He could get back all the face he had lost.

Wan Jiangui and Gao Yiheng, after being stunned, also understood that this might be a mutant.

Gao Yiheng lowered his voice and said, "Boss, it's too dangerous. Let's leave first."

Ye Yu was frantic. "Fortune favors the bold! We'll guard it and wait for it to die. Based on experience, it's so awesome that it's bound to die soon."

Gao Yiheng tried to persuade him. "Knowing it's here, we can wait until tomorrow to come back. If it discovers us, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Ye Yu flatly refused. "It's not an inanimate object. If it goes somewhere else, where will we find it?"

Wan Jiangui secretly groaned. He hoped he wouldn't be killed by Ye Yu.

But Wan Jiangui knew that Ye Yu wouldn't listen to anyone's advice once he made up his mind.

Wan Jiangui's face flashed with determination. "Boss, I'll stick with you. If it eats people, I'll feed myself to it first."

Gao Yiheng frowned. Just you?

Ye Yu was first stunned, then moved, and said, "My good brother."

The three of them hid behind a bunker more than four hundred meters away from the mutant.

They thought they were hiding well, but they didn't know that the mutant had discovered them as soon as they got close.

This was an earth-type mutant. After reaching the king level, its perception was amazing. Although it couldn't see the three, it sensed three creatures stepping on the ground and approaching through the earth.

A mischievous look flashed across its face, and it ordered the four earth element giants to rush towards Ye Yu.

The rumbling sound rang out, and Ye Yu and the others were dumbfounded.

The four earth element giants accurately approached them.

To hide or not to hide?

If they didn't hide, they would probably be trampled to death, so they could only run.

Ye Yu had no illusions. It couldn't be such a coincidence; they must have been discovered.

Ye Yu bit his teeth. These earth element giants weren't fast, and he could shake them off.

But Wan Jiangui and Gao Yiheng were probably unable to run. But there was no way; if he took them with him, he would probably be dragged down and killed.

Ye Yu was overthinking it. He couldn't escape himself.

Seeing that Ye Yu intended to run, the king-level mutant arrived near Ye Yu almost in the blink of an eye.

Ye Yu suddenly felt an immense gravity coming from the ground, suppressing Ye Yu tightly.

Wan Jiangui and Gao Yiheng fell to their knees.

Ye Yu's heart was filled with despair. He was done for; he couldn't escape.

Now there were only two chances of survival: one was for the mutant to die right now, and the other was to negotiate with it.

The king-level mutant mocked, "You have a lot of guts, daring to hide in the dark."

But to the king-level mutant's surprise, Ye Yu actually knelt down and kowtowed.

"Lord, we admire you! Please accept us as your servants, to capture meat for you to enjoy. We will do our best to fulfill any requirements you have."

It wasn't particularly clever. Many people had done this before when encountering mutants, but the success rate wasn't high. The mutant might just eat you directly.

The king-level mutant was stunned, then laughed heartily. "Interesting, interesting. It's the first time I've seen food like you. Very well, I'll accept you three as servants. You should be glad I was full earlier."

Ye Yu was ecstatic. "We will definitely do our best to serve you."

Ye Yu had survived just like that, and was even safer than before.

Ye Yu swung his fist fiercely, extremely excited, and said, "When luck comes, you can't stop it! I'm going to make it big!"

Gao Yiheng was also very happy for Ye Yu. His boss was so clever.

Wan Jiangui's eyes darted around. If Ye Yu obtained this crystal, he would probably become stronger than Chen Luo.

Bah, bah, bah, Chen Luo is an immortal, with unfathomable abilities, including the ability to disappear instantly. It would be difficult for this mutant to kill him.

Moreover, Immortal Chen has so much delicious food. Even if you, Ye Yu, break through to the heavens, can you conjure meat?

I want to eat meat, so I have no choice but to betray you.

Ye Yu warned, "You must keep this news a secret. Absolutely do not leak it out. There are many who want to suck up to Chen Luo now. Once Chen Luo finds out, we won't be able to hold on."

Even if he obtained this crystal, he wouldn't be able to absorb it completely in a month or two. What would he do if Chen Luo found him?

Therefore, he had to keep the secret.

Gao Yiheng nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, Boss."

Wan Jiangui patted his chest and abdomen. "I will definitely keep the news buried in my stomach. Even if I die, I will never say it."

After saying that, Wan Jiangui contacted Yuri.

Immortal Chen is truly amazing. He really predicted that Ye Yu would have an opportunity.

There's no one around at all. If he hadn't taken me in, who would know that Ye Yu had an opportunity?

Ye Yu said with satisfaction, "You are all my brothers, so of course I believe you. Let's go catch a few unlucky bastards for our benefactor to eat."

Catching unlucky bastards was necessary, otherwise, if the king-level mutant wanted to eat but they didn't have any, they might eat the three of them.

After catching three unlucky bastards, Gao Yiheng suddenly said, "Boss, wait for me. I ate mutated meat this morning, and my stomach is uncomfortable. I'm going to relieve myself."

Ye Yu frowned. Did he want Gao Yiheng to shit in his pants?
