Their bodies were trembling involuntarily, with massive fists crashing down on them heavily.

The two of them instantly turned into two streaks of light, disappearing from where they stood.

Oh my, the exotic beasts on this deserted island are at such a high level.

Dr. Jubino watched as more than twenty contestants were transported back after just one night, secretly wondering if there was something happening behind the scenes.

The deserted island had been cleared once before, with the exotic beasts inside only at Tier Five at most. The contestants should have been able to handle it, with only minor inconveniences related to food, drink, and sleep.

Many contestants reported being taken down by a massive battle beetle.

Some were transported here right from their dreams, without having a clue about how they were eliminated.

Other contestants reported encountering billions of mosquitoes on the deserted island.

Seeing the sky filled with mosquitoes made these people decide to withdraw from the contest.

After all, staying alive is what matters.

They didn't want to die on the deserted island without reason.

Fortunately, the death rate among contestants is still zero for now.

Ye Bai was intercepted by three agents overnight, but with the Space Pelican, he wasn't afraid of them.

It felt like he was playing a game of cat and mouse.

But this wasn't a viable solution; with these three chasing him, Ye Bai was unable to collect materials.

He needed to find a place to take down these three once and for all.

"Whew, this guy named Ye Bai sure knows how to hide."

"We've been chasing him all night, and it's almost dawn."

Giant York wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The climate on the deserted island was tropical, with many mosquitoes, and the buzzing sound was making Giant York very uncomfortable.

Though he was not afraid of mosquitoes, he hated the feeling of them buzzing around his ears.

"We must end this quickly, or those two might beat me to it."

"I, Giant York, won't be outdone by those two."

Giant York muttered to himself.

Black Widow used her billions of mosquitoes to pinpoint Ye Bai's location.

However, Ye Bai's counter-reconnaissance ability was strong, and he would immediately relocate at the slightest disturbance.

Moreover, Black Widow discovered that the number of her Highly Poisonous Mosquitoes seemed to be decreasing.

If it was a normal situation, Black Widow would have stopped to encourage the Highly Poisonous Mosquitoes to propagate en masse.

But with two competitors nearby, Black Widow could only grit her teeth and persist.

The sky gradually brightened.

Ye Bai also felt that the wind seemed stronger today than usual.

The wind howled, and the leaves rustled loudly.

Countless leaves fell from the treetops, twirling like butterflies in the air.

The Storm Giant Dragon had begun its move, and it was heading in this direction.

Very soon, there would be an unprecedented tidal wave hitting New Covenant City.

It seems I need to head to the Ice and Fire Spring to let the Ice and Fire Rock evolve.

As for whether it will open a new evolutionary path, that depends on the strength of my appraisal eye.

At this moment, Dr. Jubino, watching the video, suddenly noticed something amiss.

Ye Bai seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Suspicious, he pulled up all surveillance footage from the time Ye Bai entered the deserted island to now and used AI filtering to obtain a result.

Since last night, Ye Bai had not been seen.

That left only two possibilities.

The first is that Ye Bai intentionally avoided surveillance.

The second is that someone activated a jamming device on the deserted island, causing surveillance to automatically block Ye Bai's image.

Dr. Jubino thought the first possibility unlikely.

Since Ye Bai was an outsider, there was no way he could know the location of all surveillance cameras.

The only likely scenario was that Ye Bai was currently being hunted by some forces.

Although Dr. Jubino was extremely worried, he had no way to intervene.

After all, his explanation sounded too far-fetched; the committee wouldn't believe him.

Only he had seen what would happen once the jamming was activated.

"Damn it, this must be the agents' doing. Is Angelina trying to destroy the scientific community?"

Dr. Jubino punched the wall in frustration.

He felt a deep sense of helplessness.

Angelina was surely capitalizing on the approach of the Storm Giant Dragon.

And intended to let him take the fall.

This woman was really calculating.

Dr. Jubino immediately thought of a plan. He decided to use the pretext of the Storm Giant Dragon approaching, with an unprecedented storm imminent, to have the contestants return early.

As for Ye Bai, although he admired him, Dr. Jubino could only hope for his safety.

When Principal Mage learned that the Storm Giant Dragon was about to hit New Covenant City, she felt a slight unease.

There were several contestants from Flame Country still on the deserted island; what if something happened?

She relayed this information, but it was intercepted halfway by Angelina's people.

"Trying to get in touch with people from Flame Country? Not a chance."

"By the time you Flame Country folks realize something's amiss, it'll be too late."

"But Flame Country won't get the chance anyway; something seems to have happened at the Sea God Abyss, with four National Pillars already heading there."

Angelina's red lips curled into a slight smile, as if she knew the movements of the National Pillars exactly.

Giant York summoned a Titan King Kong.

This pet beast stood five meters tall.

[Name: Titan King Kong]

[Gender: Male]

[Attribute: Metal/Fighting]

[Level: Tier Six, Level Six]

[Skills: Golden Body (Skilled): Turns into a golden body, possessing unbreakable defense.

Vajra Roar: Emits a roar with Sanskrit sounds, able to deter Undead Element exotic beasts, while also causing dizziness to opponents.

Million-Ton Boxing (Skilled): Concentrates all force into a punch, with the power of a million-ton punch, said to be capable of blasting a mountain with a single blow.

Qi Gathering (Skilled): Increases one's evil qi, enhancing attack power.

Great Earthquake (Skilled): Clenches hands together and strikes the ground heavily, creating a great earthquake.]

[Evolutionary Path 1: None]

At the same time, a glossy black battle beetle appeared.

These two pet beasts blocked Ye Bai's escape route.

"Seems like, after all, I'm a bit better, Giant York."

"Finally caught you, Ye Bai."

"You're just like a rat in the gutter, always good at hiding."

"I've already investigated that the pet beasts you're using for testing aren't very strong."

"But I'm curious about how you brought in a demon bear."

"Whatever, I won't say more. If those two catch up, I'll run out of time."

"Titan King Kong, kill him."

Titan King Kong raised its massive mountain-like fist, swinging it heavily in Ye Bai's direction.

"Goodbye."

Giant York's mouth curled into a smile; this time he had won.

The ground shook violently, with billowing smoke rising into the sky.

Contestants on the deserted island could feel the intense tremors.

Expressions of fright appeared in their eyes.

"Oh my god, what kind of exotic beast caused such a commotion."

A chubby man with gold-rimmed glasses and dark skin shivered.

He felt he couldn't hold on any longer.

"Is this some special exotic beast?"

A girl in hip-hop clothing stuck out her tongue.

She felt not fear but amusement.

Some contestants simply chose to crash into the fierce exotic beasts, choosing to return to safety immediately.

Poisonous Widow's face turned ashen upon witnessing the commotion Giant York caused: "That idiot York, causing such a scene, do those judges look stupid?"

Jack the Digger's face also turned sour at this point.

If the attempt to assassinate Ye Bai was discovered, the three of them would surely be used as scapegoats to provide an explanation.

Moreover, previous incidents of contestant deaths might also be exposed, and they could be sacrificed to provide an explanation.

If goes the way it's going.
