Chapter 570 Dark Beasts
It was none other than Jacob.
Looking at the dense forest with dark trees and sky covered in thick fog, he muttered, "I\'m finally in the territory of the dead faction. I wonder if my action incites a war between the two factions. But it\'s highly unlikely since it would mean sending the federation to the life faction side. Well, at least those who followed me won\'t be able to leave without losing a limb or two. They would have no choice but to give up on following me."
With a small smirk, he moved toward the forest as he was very confident in his ploy and now, he can hunt the dark beings in mass and then leave after evolving his hex core. At the same time, the federation will have to take all the heat for his actions.
Right at this moment, he sensed a little vibration on his wrist before SAAI\'s stoic voice rang in his head.
"You have been connected with Unique Star Network!"
Startled, he activates his star watch and sees it has indeed been reconnected with the star network, \'Could it be the territories of the three factions are also considered a part of the unique plains?\'
Jacob was astounded as he thought he had to wait before entering the unique plains to reconnect to the star network. But who could\'ve thought the moment he stepped into the dead faction territory, he regained the star network?
At least he wasn\'t expecting this from the dead faction since dark beings didn\'t have star watches. Nonetheless, it matters little to him, and he closes the star watch and moves forward since this isn\'t the place or time to explore the unique Plains star network.
Jacob carefully made his way into the depths of the strange forest; there was no sign of life, and even the trees were giving off a strange, gloomy air. If not for his excellent vision, he might not be able to see anything in this dark place.
Although he has the ocean route to the dead faction territory, it has no details about its inner structure. All he knew was that the dead faction territory was a cluster of 129 islands, and the smallest one was around fifty thousand miles large.
These islands were divided among the different races of dark beings. But this information was superficial as no one knew how large the territory of the dead faction was, and it was the same case for the other factions as well.
Furthermore, unlike the other factions that were controlled by multiple organizations, the dark faction was one united entity under the control of the Dead Faction Leader.
At this moment, Jacob\'s footsteps suddenly came to a halt as an agile phantom suddenly lunged towards him.
With his quick reaction, he throws a punch brandished with green flames.
\'Boomm…\'
A small collision happened, and the mysterious phantom was sent flying into the trees, blasting many before it finally stopped.
Jacob\'s eyes were cold as he looked at the blasted trees, and dark green liquid was pouring out of them. Amid the destruction, a mingled body of a vile beast covered in blue blood lay there. It seemed to be a hybrid between a hyena and a zombie.
\'A dark beast!\' Jacob\'s eyes shimmered in realization.
The Dark Beasts were born in the territories of the Dark Beings, and they killed other dark beasts and dark beings and evolved by absorbing their dead cores. They also have the ability to absorb the life force of living beings and can only kill after extinguishing their dead flames. That\'s why they fell under the races of the dark beings.
The dark beings can also tame these dark beasts like the living beings can tame magic beasts and use them as mounts or battles.
But these dark beasts can only be born under dense dark energy, and the environment of the epic plains was only enough to rear common and rare rank dark beasts, so the dark beings wouldn\'t bother to tame them.
But the dark beast that Jacob just killed is a peak epic rank dark beast, which means this place is perfect for nurturing dark beasts.
\'As expected of the dead faction territory. I\'d never encountered a dark beast before, but here they seemed to be flourishing. Previously, that lich I\'d faced at the entrance was also ridding a flying dark beast of unique rank, and by killing them, I was able to absorb both of their dead flames. This detour was not a bad idea at all.\'
Jacob smiled in satisfaction before he collected the magic core from the dead, dark beast. Although killing epic-rank dark beings was no longer useful for him, their magic cores were still quite precious for his mana recovery.
Furthermore, he is still nowhere near exploring this place, and he is still in the outer region so that he will encounter unique rank dark beasts or dark beings eventually.
Jacob then moves on towards the thick liquid substance gushing out of the tree, and upon close inspection, his eyes shimmered, \'This is advanced epic rank poison with decay properties, I should collect it. I can use it with whammy poison magic.\'
He quickly takes out of a container and begins to collect all the liquid. He has already absorbed all the Vile Witch\'s knowledge, so he could be considered a full-fledged Basic Unique Rank Evil Poison Lord now, which is akin to a Basic Great Elder Alchemist Rank!
After collecting the poison, he moved on, and as he moved deeper, more and more dark beasts attacked him, and they were all killed with a single punch.
At this moment, a raging river appeared ahead of him, which was around three hundred meters wide, and on the other side was a mountain valley filled with strange plants and trees.
The gray disc appeared under his feet, and he began to fly toward the other side and enter the mountain valley.
This time, he encountered poisonous incents and dark beasts of unique rank, and he quickly dealt with them while collecting their poison. This place seemed to be a poisonous paradise and extremely beneficial for an Evil Poison Lord like him.
Days passed like this, and he had yet to encounter any dark being; on this day, Jacob suddenly stopped at a mountain hill, and his eyes widened.
In front of him was a towering dome hidden between the mountains, and hundreds of dark beings were patrolling this place.
\'What is this place?\'
