Chapter 1066 The Mutant

Xavier and Gerald exchanged a few words, and then returned to their respective sides! Yael’s physical

condition improved significantly overnight. As a Supreme

Flame Decayer, his recovery ability was quite impressive. Coupled with the effect of their healing

medicine, his condition had recovered a great deal. Gerald leaned against the hover car, munching on

some food. Inside the car, after finishing her meal, Sylvie held a coin in her hand. She tossed it high

into the air, while muttering to herself, “Is there any danger in going to Mount Arctic?”

The coin landed on top of the car, spinning around before gradually coming to a stóp, with the heads

side facing up! Sylvie’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Kristian looked over and asked, “Is there any

danger?” Sylvie nodded, then picked up the coin again and tossed it into the air, asking, “Is there any

danger in staying here?”

The coin fell once more, and when it came to a stop, it was still heads up. What’s going on?” Kristian

asked with a puzzled expression, “Are we just screwed then?” “Eternal Flame Decayer is after us!”

Sylvie said to Kristian, “This is no ordinary situation, and it involves the legendary figure Nolan

Goodwin.” “Such a headache!” Kristian exclaimed,

“We tried to keep a low profile when we came here, but we still ended up in this situation. Grandpa

really didn’t help much, only sending someone with the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay to pick us

up.” Anabel pondered and said, “Actually, I’ve always been worried about something.” “What’s wrong?”

Kristian asked.

“You said it yourself, they should have, at the very least, sent someone at the supreme level of Flame

Decay to pick us up, even if they wanted to keep a low profile. This would at least ensure their own

safety, but they only sent someone at the level of peak Half-Step Flame

Decay,” Anabel said. “I’m wondering if the Archaic Tribe has encountered some issues on their end,

making it difficult for them to spare any personnel.” “It shouldn’t be this unlucky!” Kristian’s eyelid

twitched intensely,

Anabel shook her head and said, “It’s hard to say. Let’s wait until we get there and see!” During their

conversation, they quickly ate their food and then got into the hover car.

After replacing the energy stone in the hover car, it started up again. The vehicle continued to patrol the

surrounding area vigilantly. Even though they had already left Misty Mound Forest, they didn’t let their

guard down at all. On the road, they encountered some people, but most of them just exchanged

glances. With Xavier displaying the supreme peak level of Flame Decay, the majority of people didn’t

dare to approach them.

Under such circumstances, they enjoyed a smooth journey all the way! At noon, they successfully

arrived at Mount Arctic! Mount Arctic was not the towering, majestic mountain range that Gerald had

imagined.

He didn’t appear to be very tall, probably just a few hundred feet, but he was incredibly long. According

to the information provided by Kristian, he stretched for more than a hundred miles. To reach the base

of the Archaic Tribe, Gerald and his team had to traverse the entire Mount Arctic.

However, there were no towering trees on the mountain. Upon closer inspection, most of the vegetation

consisted of shrubs. But after Xavier’s repeated warnings, Gerald felt that these seemingly ordinary

plants might actually be highly poisonous.

Under their full-speed journey, Micah’s people didn’t manage to catch up with them. Once they arrived

at the base of the Archaic Tribe, all their problems could be easily resolved. In the Archaic Tribe, there

is an Eternal Flame Decayer who resides on Promise Island.

When the time comes to reveal the truth, the Archaic Tribe will undoubtedly be furious. With Micah and

his group’s background, it will be easy for them to find out through the Archaic Tribe’s intelligence

network. Kristian’s revenge, or the revenge of the Archaic Tribe, will swiftly follow one after another. Of

course, the prerequisite is that they must escape the pursuit and successfully reach the base of the

Archaic Tribe.

When they reached the foot of the mountain and were about to enter, they saw a group of people

hurriedly tumbling and scrambling down from the mountain. There were quite a few of them, probably

dozens! Among them were experts at the level of Flame Decay!

After running out of Mount Arctic, some people were shouting loudly, while others collapsed on the

ground. There were those who quickly began to tend to the ones who had fallen.

Some of them were covered in red spots, while others had faces that were completely black. There

were even people whose entire bodies were swollen. Clearly, most of these people were poisoned.

“What’s going on?” Xavier frowned, stopping the car on his own initiative, and then leaned over to ask,

“How did you guys come running out from there? What happened in the mountains?”

“Mr. Callum?” It seemed that Xavier was really famous, as someone recognized him and excitedly

called out. Xavier smiled amiably and asked, “What’s going on?”

“It’s near Mount Arctic. Somehow, a wild beast in heat appeared and started causing destruction in the

area. We were originally searching for herbs and materials on the outskirts of Mount Arctic, but we

encountered the beast. With no other choice, we had to retreat.

During the escape, they were accidentally injured by mosquitoes and plants,” one person volunteered.

“What level is it?” Xavier asked. “The supreme level of Flame Decay,” said the person. “Mr. Callum, I’m

sure you’ll have no problem going there.”

This allowed Xavier to breathe a small sigh of relief. He then greeted a few people, took the initiative to

give them some healing herbs, and returned to the hover car. Through the connected car phone, he

said, “It’s nothing serious. Let’s continue on our way to Mount Arctic and try to get through it within a

day!”

Although Mount Arctic spans more than a hundred miles, it can be crossed relatively quickly by a hover

car. However, due to the need to avoid certain obstacles, the speed cannot be increased significantly.

It’s not even as good as walking directly. Of course, due to the numerous deadly toxins in the

mountains, they had no choice but to use a hover car.

Supreme Flame Decayer found it quite challenging to trek across Mount Arctic! They weren’t even sure

if they could withstand the various poisonous barriers inside. Hover cars can naturally isolate these

things.

The car started up once again, making its way into Mount Arctic. Inside the car, Gerald touched his chin

and said, “Let me tell you a story!” “Hmm?” Triston and the others turned their attention to Gerald.

“What’s wrong?” Triston asked.

“I’ve been in touch with Xavier these past couple of days!” Gerald said, hanging up the phone between

two cars. “Considering how he let the guy who was following us go, and the way people treated him

when we met him this time, it seems like he really has a bit of a loyal and righteous vibe.”

“Indeed, it’s a bit self-righteous!” Triston exclaimed. “If it were me, I would have chopped off the person

who was following us without a second thought, regardless of any promises.

They were the ones stalking us in the first place. If they don’t reveal their purpose, I have a thousand

ways to torture them, making them suffer unbearable pain until they finally confess.” After finishing his

statement, he added, “However, I must admit, Xavier is indeed a person worth befriending.”

Gerald chuckled and said, “Besides, no matter how you look at it, he did help us out with the Micah

situation. If it wasn’t for him stepping in to mediate, we would have ended up in a fight to the death with

Micah and his group, attracting a large

number of mutants. That would have been trouble for all of us. So, all in all, we do owe him a favor.”

“So… you’re planning to help him out?” Valery asked. Gerald nodded and said, “I was planning on

discussing it with you guys.” “Let’s listen to you,” Anabel said from the side.

Hector furrowed his brow, but since Gerald had made up his mind, he didn’t say anything more. “Then

connect me to their car, I have a few questions to discuss with Xavier,” Gerald said.

In the midst of their conversation, they had already approached the vicinity of Mount Arctic. At that

moment, Gerald glanced to the side, and his eyebrows suddenly furrowed!

He saw several figures in tattered clothes on a nearby tree, lying on the trunk. They didn’t look much

different from normal people, but their eyes were like lizard pupils, and saliva flowed from their mouths.

They stared at Gerald’s car, some of them moving like lightning, constantly leaping from tree trunk to

tree trunk, closely following Gerald and his companions. “Are these… mutants?” Gerald asked,

exhaling. “Yes!” Kristian said.
