Chapter 57. The mutation.

Upon hearing the clamor of a nearby struggle, Alex found himself curious about the nature of the conflict.

He questioned whether two Qi beasts had simultaneously sought out the same cave, unintentionally instigating a battle for dominion over space. 

From the distant echoes of the scuffle, Alex deduced the strength of the fighting creature.

Their resonating Qi suggested they were at least of the middle-stage lesser Qi beasts.

This realization led him to a grim conjecture - were the young storm serpents already dead?

Alex recalled that the serpents had only entered this world five days prior.

The chances of their survival against a middle-stage lesser Qi beast seemed highly unlikely.

However, he was aware that his assumptions might not mirror reality.

To confirm his suspicions, he decided to approach the source of the commotion.

The chill of the cave permeated the air but Alex brushed it off as a minor inconvenience.
