Neutral Grounds

There were many magical, naturally-occurring sights in the Endless Forest, and there were also things that were created by humans that were just as magical.

There was a small lake in the middle of the forest. There was a row of buildings that would shock any human who saw them.

There was a giant tree neatly cut down. Such a feat required at least an advanced rare weapon and a combat power of over.

Thousands of twenty-meter-tall giant trees formed a wall.

The ground within the wall was flat as if it had been hammered by towering trees. Rows of wooden houses of different heights were next to the lake. There was even a three-story wooden pavilion that stood out among the rest.

From afar, it looked like a picturesque village.

There was a five-meter-wide gate at the intersection of the curved walls.

On the left side of the door hung a huge sign. On it were some scarlet plant juice, and a few words were written in a flamboyant manner: The entrance fee is an advanced primeval evolution crystal.

Below that line of words, there were words written in English, French, Spanish, and so on. They all expressed the same meaning.

On the right side of the door, there was also a huge wooden sign with the words: In the Neutral Grounds, only death awaits those who use their weapons!

Below this line, there were also translations of it in many other languages.

The trees outside the gate had been cut down, forming a square that spanned a hundred meters.

Zhao Hao stood in the square, shocked by the scene before him.

Zhao Hao was so excited that he wanted to cry when he saw the streets and houses behind the wall.

As a man who slept in a tree hole every day, it was difficult for ordinary people to understand his feelings at this moment.

Looking around, there were at least a hundred humans coming and going on the streets. There were all kinds of races.

Zhao Hao's eyes were wet. He had always wanted to find a place where humans had gathered together, and today, his wish had finally come true.

Calming himself down, Zhao Hao began to wonder how strong Niu Gege was. To be able to establish a Shangri-La-like trading market in such a chaotic world like the World of Evolution, he was definitely not someone simple.

There was a wooden chair at the entrance. A tall and thin young man was sitting there, flipping through a magazine.

For a person to have brought a magazine through the seven-colored pillar of light, they were obviously an interesting person.

When he flipped through the book, he accidentally shook the cover.

Zhao Hao was shocked as he saw the cover. The magazine was actually a Playboy magazine!

Zhao Hao asked, "How long has this place been established?"

"It was completed three months ago. Niu Gege sent someone to spread the news. Most of the people who have been in the Endless Forest for long enough know about this place," said Protector Sun dispiritedly. One of his ears had been cut off, and he had traveled for five days to reach the Neutral Grounds. He was already so tired that he was about to collapse.

On the other hand, Zhao Hao, who was riding a wolf mount, was in high spirits. At this moment, he still had some food in his pocket.

The branch leaders and protectors of the Ghost Head Gang all had good stuff on them. Zhao Hao took out three advanced primeval evolution crystals from the Branch Leader Tiger. On Protector Sun's body, he found seven more. With 10 advanced primeval crystals as capital, Zhao Hao was rich. The entrance fee to enter the Neutral Grounds was quite expensive, but in his opinion, it was worth it.

Just as he was about to pay the fee to enter, he suddenly stopped.

A young man rushed to the door in a panic and handed over an advanced primeval crystal.

The thin and tall young man who was reading a magazine waved his hand, signaling the young man to enter.

"Stop!"

With a loud shout, a valiant one-eyed man chased after him.

"Brat, you can't run. Hand that thing over!"

It was probably the one-eyed man's first time here, so he completely ignored the two warning signs at the door.

Similar to Zhao Hao, he was someone who moved as a lone wolf in the mountains. This person was much more ferocious than Zhao Hao. He had already evolved once, and his combat power had already reached 200 points. His entire body exuded a domineering aura.

Seeing that the one-eyed man was about to rush through the door, the thin and tall young man who was reading a magazine said lazily, "Pay the fee."

"F*ck off!"

The one-eyed man did not take the thin and tall young man seriously and continued to rush forward.

Bang!

After only half a step, the one-eyed man fell to the ground.

A bloody hole appeared in his back.

A gust of wind pierced through the one-eyed man's heart and penetrated his body.

Hiss!

Zhao Hao gasped. He could clearly see that the gust of wind had come from the thin and tall youth.

From a distance of several meters, a wisp of wind from his finger could kill people across the air. The thin and tall young man was actually unbelievably powerful.

The thin and tall young man was still sitting on the chair and had no intention of standing up.

A strange-looking beast ran over and ate the one-eyed man in no time. The crisp sound of bones being chewed made the scalps of those who heard it go numb. After eating the one-eyed man, the beast crawled under the thin and tall young man's feet and lazily basked in the sun.

The entrance then returned to its previous silence and tranquility as if there had not been a murder just a moment ago.

Only the bloodstains that seeped into the ground were still telling the story of a life that had died eternally a moment ago.

Awesome!

He's so awesome!

Zhao Hao looked at the man who was flipping through a Playboy magazine and felt a surge of emotions.

Zhao Hao asked Protector Sun, "That guy killed the other guy from several meters away. How did he do that?"

Protector Sun said unwillingly, "After an expert undergoes their second evolution, another genetic lock is unlocked. After refining variant crystals, the human body also begins mutating. A certain power is released, condensing into stellar qi, which can then turn into things like sword qi, saber qi, and countless others. Among them, the more powerful ones are able to project their stellar qi ten meters away, and the power that comes with that projectile is even greater than that of a pistol."

That's incredible!

Zhao Hao thought from the bottom of his heart. He deeply realized how ignorant he had been in the past.

It was the right decision to come to the Neutral Grounds this time. It was a huge eye-opener. If he had not decided to come here, he would still be holed up in some godforsaken place playing solo.

"What's a genetic lock?" he asked curiously.

"I don't really understand either. Only people who have evolved understand that kind of thing."

"Is that person reading the magazine by the entrance Niu Gege?"

Protector Sun: "No, his name is Sunny. He is one of the four guardians under the Niu Gege."

"Guardian?" Zhao Hao was stunned.

Protector Sun said, "The four guardians are Sunny, Snow Lotus, Ember, and Old Miao. Sunny is in charge of guarding the door, Snow Lotus is in charge of food, Old Miao is in charge of trading, and Ember is in charge of building houses. These four people are all great experts who have evolved twice. They are known as the F4 of the Neutral Grounds. I estimate that their strength is not weaker than the five big shots of the Idol Sky Group."

"Okay, I'll keep my word. You can leave now."

Zhao Hao said as he strode toward the door.

Protector Sun cried on the spot. All his belongings had been robbed by Niu Dehua, and he could not afford the entrance fee. He did not even have a weapon to defend himself. If he walked back like this, he did not know how many fatal dangers he would encounter along the way.

Staring at Zhao Hao's back, Protector Sun threw over ten thousand curses at him in his mind. Was there a need to be so shameless?
