Update 8: During the day, Mu Xiao basically didn't hunt, but instead went around to scout and recharge using his motorcycle. At night, he used the same trick as last night and held a flame party, but this time in a different location.

  When countless flames descended like dense fine rain, rolling smoke enveloped several streets... Those mutant monsters also dispersed everywhere, then Mu Xiao began to hunt and kill.

  Two consecutive massive explosions, the negative energy contained in the magnetic field gradually faded away. Even the monsters inside the slaughterhouse in the core area discovered this situation. A large number of flying humanoid blood beasts and degenerated bird monsters flew out in a swarm, searching for the culprit. There even appeared a kind of fully scaled or thickly furred variant human, similar to the beastmen of Western legend. This type of variant human successfully assimilated the degenerate gene with the variant beast gene, transforming into a beast-like state, and their physical stats were more terrifying than those of the degenerated variant humans.

  However, this fusion of beast genes and human genes has not truly merged, but is only in a stable phase, still relying on negative energy as a balance. If the negative energy is exhausted, the genes of humans and beasts will collapse.

  Mù Xiāo also sensed the severe changes around him, but still didn't retreat temporarily. Instead, he continued to hunt down the degenerated mutants. However, there were a large number of flying monsters, which made the battle quite troublesome. He could only focus on killing the degenerated mutants and launch a stormy attack. As soon as he killed one, he would immediately retreat without hesitation.

  However, when those beast-like mutants appeared, Mu Xiao had to choose to retreat temporarily, because the battle had been going on for some time, and the energy of his armor was almost depleted, including himself who had consumed half of it.

  At this time, the slaughterhouse released a large number of variant monsters again. The most troublesome ones were those beastized variant humans. Mu Xiao wasn't unable to defeat them, but it took about the same amount of time to kill one beastized variant human as it did to kill three corrupted variant humans. The entire area was thrown into chaos once more. A large flock of flying monsters continuously circled in the sky. If the battle dragged on for too long, it would attract a large number of variant monsters, including the pincer attack of both beastized and corrupted variant humans, which would definitely be unfavorable to their own environment.

  So he could only temporarily withdraw.

  The chaos at night continued until the morning without ending, and now every building rooftop has three to five flying monsters guarding it, fully monitoring the entire food industrial park. At this time, Mu Xiao can basically confirm that there is a leading monster in the slaughterhouse, otherwise a group of mutant monsters would not be able to stand guard like soldiers.

  It's good that Mu Xiao returned and moved the motorcycle into a building, otherwise it would have been destroyed by a group of mutated monsters. As for energy replenishment, there is no shortage, and the motorcycle's energy can be used directly to recharge, anyway, the motorcycle has stored a lot of backup energy in the past two days.

  "These two days of hunting have enhanced the six-time gene resonance, just five times short of perfecting the bloodline's genetic optimization. But thinking about repeating the tactics from the previous two nights seems no longer feasible." Mu Xiao finished dinner and lay on the bed, contemplating his next attack plan.

  He had used up almost all the energy from the Energy Center for two consecutive nights, although he could search for some energy blocks from some buildings, or household energy jars, or even industrial large-scale energy blocks, barely enough to fill a cargo hold, and then another explosion of flame rain.

  But at this time, the outside is heavily guarded, and the entire area is under the surveillance of flying variant monsters. Once any movement is made, it will trigger the alarm of the flying monsters, and all the variant monsters in the entire area will be thoroughly stirred up and come to kill directly.

  It's impossible to collect energy items, and it's too cumbersome to collect them. With the explosion of two consecutive flame rains, those degenerate mutants are not without intelligence. The third time will definitely not be so easy to get, and hunting is so painful.

  So, Mu Xiao didn't want to do something futile, and directly gave up on the first two plans. He prepared to go out at night to investigate and think of a solution. If he couldn't find any weaknesses, he could only use guerrilla warfare tactics - hit-and-run, lure the enemy in, retreat when they advance, and advance when they retreat, slowly whittling down the powerful monsters inside.

  However, this way of fighting will make leveling up slow and requires a lot of time and great patience, as well as being extremely cautious, because the more stimulated the mutated monsters are, the less you know when danger will come. At that time, the mutated monsters are like timed bombs. When resentment and anger accumulate to an extreme, it leads to a collective frenzy of mutated monsters. If you can't react in time, once you're found by the frenzied mutated monsters, you'll absolutely die without a whole corpse.

  This is a very high-intensity and dangerous fighting method, Mu Shao had this kind of battle many times in his previous life, and he didn't worry about not being able to withstand it.

  During the day, Mu Xiao took good care of Jing Shen. When night fell, he quietly slipped out.

  At night, he has the Night Cloak and Jing's power to work together, which can be used as the best stealth method. If it were daytime, the Night Cloak would not have darkness as protection, so even if Jing's power concealed his presence, it wouldn't fool the human eye, especially since mutants possess human-like intelligence and thought. It's easy for them to see through whether someone is one of their kind or not, unless they had an ability like Mù Yīn's illusion, creating a phantom image on themselves, then the mutant wouldn't be able to discover it so easily.

  Although the nocturnal variant monsters are more dangerous when amplified, for Mu Shuo, it is also a kind of amplification.

  Mù Xiāo's figure wandered in the dark, crossing the outer ring of heavily mutated monsters' warning line, and re-entering the central area, only to find that there were fewer humanoid blood beasts and degenerated mutants on the streets, with mostly degenerated mutants and enhanced zombies lingering on the streets.

  "Hmm... I see you're scared of being hit."

  Mù xiāo raised his head, slightly releasing the jīng shén power to sense all directions, and found that the humanoid blood beasts and degenerated mutants were hiding inside the buildings. On the rooftop, there were also a few tiger-like mutated monsters, closely monitoring the surroundings.

  Two consecutive Flame Rain explosions, humanoid Blood Beasts and worsening mutated humans prevented them from coming out, so they all chose to hide inside buildings.

  If he sneaks in to ambush, it's likely that when he comes out, the entire building will be surrounded by mutated monsters. Don't ignore those mutated monsters on the rooftop, once there's any movement, they'll definitely sound the alarm one after another.

  "Fighting alone, I will always encounter such a difficult situation - Jiuding Shenhuang."

  Mu Xiao furrowed her brow and quietly made her way deeper into the slaughterhouse without startling any of the bizarre creatures.

  Since things have already become so difficult, he doesn't mind making the situation even more difficult, maybe that can break this deadlock.

  Slaughter processing plants are the places with the most intense negative magnetic fields, because in the past all meat organisms in the entire food industrial park were slaughtered inside, then transported to other food companies for processing into various foods, equivalent to a core institution.

  So, there is an extremely dense bloody atmosphere here, surrounded by negative thoughts such as death, resentment, hatred, and slaughter. It's as if the souls of those dead creatures did not disperse, but instead transformed into strands of evil spirits that surround this place, forming a negative magnetic field.

  The slaughterhouse is also the largest building here, with a single square having more than 30 mu of land, and the entire factory has hundreds of mu of land, but only five floors high. In the past, cars came and went every day, and even small transport planes transported large quantities of animals for slaughter.

  The atmosphere of killing is very heavy here.

  As soon as Mu Xiao entered the square, a fierce and murderous aura suddenly emerged, filled with Yin evil and bloody killing intent. It was like a horde of demons and monsters rushing forward, bringing countless negative thoughts of bloodshed and slaughter. The icy cold air was piercingly harsh, tearing through the sea of consciousness. If someone's mental strength was slightly weaker, they would be strangled to death by this wave of negative energy, becoming a mindless, zombie-like creature.

  Just then, Mu Xiao's intention and divine power transformed into a protective wall, firmly guarding his own conscious sea. The negative intentions from the outside world were unable to tear open an invasion.

  "The negative magnetic field here is indeed a big trouble, if not breaking through this magnetic field, the spiritual power of intention has weakened by at least one-third, used to protect oneself's sea of consciousness at all times, consumption undoubtedly intensifies, unfavorable for prolonged combat..."

  A figure swiftly darted across a blood-soaked square, pondering how to dispel the negative energy field while observing the surrounding mutated creatures.

  Humanoid Blood Beasts and Degenerated Mutated Beasts have become the most common monsters here, not even a single Enhanced Zombie can be seen. Most of them are just ugly flesh balls standing upright in the plaza, while some Beastified Mutated Humans also lurk in the shadows.

  It's a good thing that Muxiao had the Tianjing ornament on him, and his Jing energy was extremely pure. After being amplified by the Tianjing, unless it was an evolved creature, no one could detect the fluctuations around him. But there were no such creatures here. Muxiao slipped into the slaughterhouse like a shadow in the dark night, and the air grew thick with corrosive energy, the impact of negative thoughts intensifying.

  When Mu Xiao arrived at the factory and took a look inside, her eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

  He had seen too many bloody scenes in his previous life, so he had expected the situation in front of him. It was a terrible sight that if an ordinary new human saw it, they would be stunned and unable to speak, their legs trembling, their brain unable to think.

  This is a dense, crimson blood water that has risen to the surface with mucus, with a pool of blood in the center filled with foul-smelling mucus. A large number of rotting human bodies and biological corpses float on it. Each pool of blood has humanoid blood beasts and degenerate mutant beasts bathing inside, with meatballs stuck all over the walls and ceiling, making it a real bloody workshop.

  The wooden building didn't need to go upstairs for several floors, and it could be slightly sensed that there was some kind of eerie creature present.

  Because the floors above are not a biological storage facility, but a meat storage facility, there must be a large number of monsters being raised on the upper floors. Even the strongest monster is likely to be on one of the upper floors. However, going up would mean heading straight into the enemy's central stronghold, which isn't a good choice.

  "Once any of the monsters in this area are alerted, it will be extremely difficult to escape, and with this negative magnetic field covering us, it's really disadvantageous for fighting. It would be better to find a way to break through this disgusting magnetic field, then the mutated monsters here will definitely fall into desperation."

  Mu Xiao combined his previous experience and thought extremely quickly, finding the fatal weakness of this group of mutant monsters.
