Chapter 1438: Chapter 598: Taking Two Young Apprentices

“Lightning, after ascending to Level 6… I’m quite looking forward to it!”

Wang Tao stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

Now Lightning has reached 2 million HP already, after ascending to Level 6, it will double to 4 million!

So far, aside from Lightning, Wang Tao has not seen any other creature with more than 1 million HP. Once Lightning reaches the 4 million HP of Level 6, how strong will it become? Perhaps even stronger than Giant Zombies!

“Let’s go.”

Hoo–

The Golden Eagle flapped its wings and soared upwards.

“I wonder if other Giant Zombies will be attracted here in the future… If there’s time later, I can come back and check…”

High above the sky, looking down at the deep pit, Wang Tao quietly thought.

He was not clear on why this place would attract Giant Zombies. Apart from Giant Zombies, there was nothing else inside this Rift… Anyway, just remember this place, he would come back when he had time.

After leaving the deep pit, Wang Tao did not leave directly but had the Golden Eagle fly around twice more to make sure there were no Giant Zombies or other Lords around, and then he headed towards Shuize Base.

In the afternoon, Wang Tao arrived at Shuize Base once again.

As he did not hide intentionally, and given the enormous size of the Golden Eagle, Yan Guoyi and others spotted him from far away, and they gathered a group of people to welcome Wang Tao ahead of time.

“Mr. Wang, you’re back! It’s good to see you’re safe!”

Seeing Wang Tao unharmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Wang Tao had the strength to hunt Giant Zombies, there were too many Giant Zombies in Cangsung City before, and the current situation was unknown. If Wang Tao had been surrounded by Giant Zombies, that would have been troublesome!

They had not easily met such a powerful and kind-hearted figure, and naturally, they did not wish for anything to happen to Wang Tao. So seeing him return safely, they were naturally very happy.

And among them, the happiest were naturally the minors like Xu Quan and Lin Meng.

Although they had been terrified by Wang Tao to the extreme, even to the point of wetting their pants, they truly idolized Wang Tao and saw him as a goal to strive for.

Especially Xu Quan, who had now awakened. All of this was given to him by Wang Tao. If it weren’t for Wang Tao, he might’ve never been able to awaken in his life, or he might’ve even died during the next relocation, so calling Wang Tao his reborn parents was not an exaggeration!

“Mr. Wang!”

Xu Quan immediately bowed deeply to Wang Tao with great respect.

“You’ve awakened, not bad! From now on, you can protect everyone!”

Wang Tao smiled and nodded his head.

“I will definitely protect everyone well!”

Xu Quan clenched his fist, a resolute expression not fitting his age on his face.

It was then that everyone noticed Lightning in Wang Tao’s arms.

“Brother Wang, what happened to the dog?”

Lin Meng immediately asked with concern.

“It’s fine, it just needs to ascend, that’s all.”

“Ah? It’s a Mutant beast too?”

Wang Tao’s words surprised everyone.

In their eyes, Lightning was just an obedient large wolfhound, seemingly a military or police dog, with no signs of being a Mutant beast. They thought it was just a big wolfhound that wasn’t afraid of the cold; they had no idea it was also a Mutant beast!

But thinking about it, it made sense. With Wang Tao’s powerful abilities, it was unlikely he would keep an ordinary animal by his side, as that could be a burden to him.

“Wow! The dog is a Mutant beast too! What rank is it? It couldn’t be a Level 3, Lord, could it?”

Lin Meng exclaimed.

Their group had not seen many Mutant beasts and had encountered a Level 3, Lord, before the heavy snow. They felt that the Level 3, Lord’s strength was much stronger than Lightning’s. But considering that Wang Tao often hides his strength, Lightning might also be hiding its strength, so they estimated that the big wolfhound was Level 3 in strength. After all, Lightning looked too ordinary…

But Wang Tao shook his head.

“After ascending, it will be a Level 4, Lord.”

“…”

Everyone was suddenly petrified.

“Level 6, Level 6, Lord?”

They looked at each other, wondering if they had heard wrong.

Level 6? Are there Level 6 creatures now?

In their view, Level 5 was already an unattainable existence. Even forget about Level 5, before Xu Quan awakened, a Level 4, Lord, was enough to make their entire base fall. Level 6 was something they didn’t even dare to dream of, and they indeed hadn’t seen or heard of any.

But now… this harmless-looking big wolfhound was about to become a Level 6, Lord?

“Brother Wang, what level are you at?”

Lin Meng suddenly asked.

This question was somewhat impolite, as in the Apocalypse, it was generally not acceptable to ask about one’s power. If you can tell someone’s power, it means you’re strong; if you can’t, it means you’re weaker. Asking directly was somewhat disrespectful.

But Lin Meng was young, after all, and didn’t think too much before asking it outright.

They had previously speculated that Wang Tao’s power should be at Level 5, the strongest person they had ever seen. This was already the limit of their understanding, as they had never seen a Level 6.

But now… Wang Tao’s dog was going to be Level 6, so what was Wang Tao’s strength…

As expected, Wang Tao didn’t conceal it and directly said:

“Level 6.”

“…”

The crowd once again fell into stunned silence.

Since they migrated to Shuize County, they had never encountered other humans. Could it be that this person, who just happened to pass by, was a Sixth Rank Awakened?

Before, they hadn’t even seen a Level 6 among the zombies or monsters!
