CHAPTER 572 INVESTIGATION

After settling the double-headed race's problems, Darren and Scott found a transmission array with

which to reach the demonic monster domain.

In the demonic monster domain, Darren released a strong aura to intimidate all the demonic monsters.

After sharing some instructions with the demonic monsters, Darren and Scott left.

Darren and Scott had been hunting for the land of the snail mutants for a long time. However, after an

unsuccessful search, they decided to move forward with their plans.

"Scott, shall we sneak into the land of the black mutants?"

Now that things were almost ready, it seemed like the right time to start the most crucial part.

Boom! Boom!

As Darren and Scott flew toward the far west, the earth began to tremble. Lightning flashed, and

thunder rumbled as thick clouds covered the sky.

A gigantic water pillar rose toward the sky from the distant sea.

Darren and Scott heard the roar even though they were tens of thousands of miles away.

"It's emerging." Scott's expression was as cold as ice. When he saw the water pillar, Scott could gauge

that the king of the black mutants was extremely powerful.

Darren's gaze also shifted to the pillar. Thousands of miles away, an intense killing aura rose toward

the sky. It was so terrifying that Darren and Scott shuddered.

"It's really powerful. Why don't I look first? You can wait for me here," Darren advised Scott.

"I know you can employ your skill of concealment, but I am unsure of whether the mutant can detect

your presence."

Scott knew that Darren had a powerful invisible skill.

"I will be fine. As the mutants haven't awoken the Spirit Power, they can't detect me."

"Okay. But, please take care. I will wait for you on that island." Scott pointed to a small island not far

away.

"Okay,"

Darren answered with a quick nod before heading toward the pillar in the distance.

After flying for over half an hour, Darren saw a large island shrouded by black mist. It appeared to be

the home of the black mutants.

The island was quiet, and Darren noticed no abnormal phenomenon on it as he neared.

As he flew further into the island, Darren used the Air-integrated True Rule to protect himself.

Several huge human-shaped statues appeared in front of him.

"These statues might be the ancestors of the black mutants."

After investigating, Darren found that these huge statues were equivalent to human palaces.

Darren swept over the statues with his spiritual sense. He noticed that the biggest statue palace

seemed to be emitting a few powerful auras.

"The black mutants are stronger than the other three races. One of them is as powerful as a top six-

star grand warrior!"

Darren saw a mighty purple-gold mutant as he flew into the palace.

"General, the two humans killed the kings from the other races. Do you think we should take action

now?"

The mutants had gathered together to discuss the situation.

"No. Our king has awakened. He will probably come to the world in a few days. We'd better wait," the

purple-gold mutant said disapprovingly.

"The general is right. We don't know what the king's nature is. If we do something wrong and go

against his will, we are doomed," an old black mutant said.

The purple-gold mutant nodded slightly and said, "Abnormal activities were sensed in the forbidden

area just now. Perhaps the two powerful humans have perceived it as well. I need all the general-

ranked mutants to guard the forbidden area with me. We cannot afford trouble." Belongs © to .

"Yes, general!"

Over twenty five-star mutants followed the purple-gold mutant out of the palace.

Darren swept over and found that among the twenty-one black mutants, three were at the six-star level.

However, the purple-gold mutant was the most powerful one.

Considering their strength and numbers, Darren could not fight against them. Moreover, the king had

already woken. Although he hadn't appeared yet, Darren was afraid that the king might sense it if he

fought against his subjects.

Instead of confronting them, Darren followed the powerful mutants to the so-called forbidden area to

explore.

After a short while, the mutants reached the center of the island, where a statue sparkled with runes.

The statue's abdomen had a concealed black door.

Even though he was still integrated with the air, Darren shuddered when he arrived at the island.

"The thing inside the statue is so powerful. Now I'm certain that I cannot defeat it." Darren shook his

head as he mumbled to himself.

As he had been following the mutants for a while, Darren began to find that it was getting harder and

harder to maintain his Air-integrated True Rule. To avoid detection, he flew to a deserted place on the

island.

Darren then began contemplating his next action.

If such a powerful mutant were to emerge, he and Scott would be unable to withstand its strength.

Mathew had also said that even his real body might be unable to fight with the mutant king.

'Perhaps it's too early for the mutant king to have formed completely. If I enter the forbidden area, I

might have a chance to kill him before he is properly awake!'

Darren rationalized. However, it would be challenging for him to enter the forbidden area. With his Spirit

Power, Darren had already sensed the terrifying power of the restriction around the forbidden area.

Darren focused on recovering his Spirit Power as he thought of possible alternatives. He planned to

investigate the forbidden area later.

"Hmm? Is someone here?"

Darren suddenly felt as though something was approaching him.

The feeling disappeared, like a flashing illusion.

But in the jungle not far away, a man stood silently as he stared at Darren.

Although that feeling was unreal, Darren inspected his surroundings.

Bang! Bang!

Darren's heart suddenly pounded. As he used his mighty Spirit Power to probe the forest, he noticed a

powerful aura flash away.

This time, Darren believed that what he had felt was not an illusion.

"Ha-ha, there is no one else here. It seems that I'm nervous," Darren intentionally shouted as he

pretended to sit down.

Whoosh!

Darren's figure disappeared in situ and appeared in the jungle in the next moment.

"It's gone!"

A frown appeared on Darren's face when he realized that he was alone in that spot.

He hadn't expected the mysterious person to sense his Spirit Power.

At that moment, Darren was a little nervous.

On this island, even the purple-gold mutant Darren had seen could not escape his detection, let alone

disappear without a trace under his sudden chase.

This indicated that the person who had pried on Darren was stronger than him.

Enemies hiding in the dark were the most terrifying.

Darren frantically searched around but could not find any traces. He had disappeared in a flash!

Soon, Darren flew away from the mutant-guarded island to a safer place.

He had no intention of finding Scott at this moment as he had not yet investigated the thing inside the

forbidden area on the island.

As Darren flew away at his maximum speed, he didn't sense that under the sea beneath him, a black

figure was swimming parallel with him.

Darren didn't stop until he was two to three thousand miles away from the island of black mutants.

Here, the seawater under him had turned blue.

As soon as he stopped, Darren's expression changed to shock. He turned and released blade and

sword intents at the area behind him.

"Who is there? Show yourself!"

The strong blade and sword intents didn't hit anything.

Buzz.

In a flash, some runes lit up, and the figure of an old man appeared in front of Darren.

At the same time, a pair of cold eyes still glared at Darren from under the seawater.
