Crack!
Moon Child kicked a thick tree root, bringing the three of them to the location of the monster.
Then it crouched down, allowing the three to climb down from its shoulders, and with a single punch, it struck the monster's head, causing the creature that was about to regain consciousness to fall back into a stupor.
This was somewhat risky. Xiar instructed it to deliver a few more punches until the monster's head was bloodied and swollen before finally stopping.
The creature had a formidable defense, but Lyle and Firefly did not. If they were injured by its desperate resistance, it would be a loss.
Xiar approached curiously to observe the creature. He noticed that it had lion-like blue tufts of fur on its head and a pair of dark red eyes.
It stood three meters tall, resembling a Gorilla, with its forelimbs much thicker than its hind limbs, and it sported claws that were half a meter long, sharp as knives.
The edges appeared polished, making them extremely sharp; upon closer inspection, one could see fine serrations along the blades, enhancing their tearing effect.
Xiar was astonished to discover that this monster emitted no trace of Totem Beast energy whatsoever.
It was a Radiation Monster that had completed its Evolution independently!
"Interesting. It seems there is a branch of the True God Cult here," Xiar said with a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
This place was tens of thousands of miles away from the Source Gate, and the spread of Source Power was far from sufficient for it to achieve active Evolution. The only explanation was that there existed a Seed of the Tree of Life here.
The primary effect of this seed was to connect other seeds, transmitting abilities from the Source Gate throughout all places in a web-like manner, thus forming a net that enveloped the entire world.
The Seed of the Tree of Life constantly emitted Life Energy, which was transformed from Source Power, beneficial for biological survival and reproduction, and even for Evolution's Mysterious Energy.
What puzzled him was that, since there was already a branch established, why did such a terrifying Evolution-level Radiation Monster still emerge?
Did they not fear that this monster would cause slaughter and attract the attention of the Morent strong?
To be honest, Xiar truly admired the audacity of these people. This island was less than two hundred miles from Morent, essentially building a branch right under their noses.
With Morent having ten Tier Three Experts, even one of them could completely destroy it.
The True God Cult was severely lacking in high-end strength; their number of Third-Level Spirit Masters was far inferior to the Two Great Empires and Atlan, and they couldn't even compare to the city of Morent.
Thus, in the early stages, they could only hide and avoid detection. Once their branch was discovered, it would mean losing corresponding personnel and resources.
However, once the network was initially activated, each high-ranking member received a fruit from the Seed of the Tree of Life, referred to as the Life Sphere.
With this treasure, they gained several times more Half Totems, allowing them to barely contend with other forces.
Moreover, these madmen had recklessly catalyzed countless Radiation Monsters, with surging energy enabling each monster to undergo Evolution and Ultimate Evolution.
Eventually, wild divine beasts even emerged!
That divine beast would later wreak havoc, flattening two human cities garrisoned by Third-Level Spirit Masters and massacring millions of humans!
It is important to note that once the network was initially activated, any Life Spheres that flowed out would have their usage rights stripped away, essentially turning into "bricks."
This meant that if he could not obtain the relevant "codes" from the True God Cult, his Colorful Puffball would soon become completely unusable.
This also implied that all the Totem Beasts he had painstakingly created and nurtured would lose control, posing a threat to his own safety and causing his strength to plummet!
Putting those thoughts aside, Xiar felt a bit troubled about how to deal with the monster.
Even an Evolution-level Radiation Monster could be transformed into a Half Totem, but it required a massive amount of Source Power. The Source Crystals he had brought with him this time were completely insufficient for the consumption needed.
Ordinary creatures only needed one or two Source Crystals to transform into a Half Totem, but he had never tried it with an Evolution-level monster.
To be safe, Xiar did not hesitate to speak up, "Aileen, Lan, could you lend me some Source Crystals?"
"Sure, I'll give you all mine." Aileen quickly took out her pouch filled with Source Crystals and poured out dozens of them to hand over to him.
The boy standing nearby nodded as well. "Of course, I’ll keep a dozen or so for myself; you can have the rest."
"Thank you—now please step aside," Xiar said with a smile. With a thought, he commanded Moon Child to grab the boy and carry him off into the distance.
"Hey, hey, let go of me! What are you doing?" The boy exclaimed in surprise, but in Moon Child's grip, he was as helpless as a chicken, unable to resist being taken away.
After watching him leave, Aileen looked somewhat worried. "Xiar, my dream came true; Linda and the others were killed by these monsters. However, I didn’t see this particular monster in the vision."
"Oh? Go on," Xiar said, his brow furrowing as he realized things were getting more complicated.
"In my vision, there was a swarm of strange bugs that were larger than humans—there were so many of them that I couldn't count," Aileen said, her body beginning to tremble slightly as she clearly recalled the terror of those creatures.
Xiar placed his hand on her shoulder and smiled. "It's nothing; just a bunch of trash. With me around, you have nothing to fear."
"Do you want to turn it into your Half Totem?" Aileen nodded.
"Yes, this monster seems to have great potential; after all, it's capable of independent Evolution."
Xiar then placed the Colorful Puffball on the other person, not allowing them to evade it.
After all, this individual could see the future, so they would inevitably encounter scenes related to it sooner or later. It was better to inform them now and deepen their relationship.
In any case, revealing such an important secret was a clear sign of absolute trust.
Colorful Radiance flowed as one Source Crystal after another turned to dust. The monster lying on the ground began to struggle violently, but Firefly jumped onto its head, and the mental shock caused it to calm down instantly.
It wasn't until he had consumed over a hundred Source Crystals that this transformation finally concluded. A new three-dimensional image appeared on the translucent Interface before him.
"Unnamed Totem: Special Totem, Evolution completed, can be upgraded, Ultimate Evolution success rate 45%, consumes 16 Evolution Points;
Abilities: Stealth, Ambush, Death Hunt."
What intrigued Xiar was that its Evolution success rate was significantly higher than that of other totems, clearly indicating that the other party had already completed their first Evolution.
Next, he instructed them to follow at a distance and sat on the shoulder of Moon Child as they headed toward the suspicious location seen through Ironfeather Eagle.
When he arrived there, he was astonished to see a dark, large hole filled with red dots.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that those red dots were all eyes—belonging to fierce Insects!
