Crystal Mountain, outskirts.
The group of Tier Eight Evolvers from Linglong City were surrounding Nangong Linglong.
"Lady Linglong!"
"Strike while the iron's hot, finish them off!"
"My lady, I'm willing to go with you, dive in and slay the Mutated Black Tiger!"
"Count me in too!"
"..."
Greed and a frenzy of excitement hung heavy over this group of high-tier evolvers from Linglong City.
Even Nangong Linglong, the city lord, though her instincts told her something was off—
But…
Her perception confirmed it: the Mutated Black Tiger's wounds were real, no faking that.
"Lady Linglong!"
"The sooner the better, no use waiting and tempting fate!"
Several Tier Eight Evolvers glanced at the ticking timer, jumping with impatience.
"Yeah, odds are there are other Refuge Cities lurking nearby!"
"If another city spots this Crystal Mountain…"
"Linglong City's advantage is kaput!"
"Only if we slay the Black Tiger first can we gather as much of the mountain's resources as possible!"
