Allen and Lucy had a rare break. After the wolves retreated, the two of them slept for a few hours until three o'clock in the afternoon. When he woke up, Allen saw Lucy resting on his lap. The girl slept soundly, curled up like a lion cub. This was the most appropriate adjective for Lucy, especially when she thought of her usual appearance of baring her fangs and brandishing her claws.
A few rays of sunlight gently fell on her body, and as time passed, they quietly climbed up her face. She frowned slightly and rubbed her little face hard. She moved to a place where the light couldn't reach and continued to sleep. He didn't know what he was dreaming of, but a smile occasionally appeared on his face. However, the smile disappeared in a flash and quickly returned to calmness.
This was a rare quiet time. Allen moved his arms and examined his body. The wounds had long since stopped bleeding, and the smaller wounds were covered with a layer of blood scabs. A few of the larger wounds were still unable to move violently. They let Lucy sew them tightly, but if she moved too much, the wound would split open for the second time. Fortunately, these injuries landed on unimportant parts, so the impact was relatively small. This was also one of the benefits of selective injuries.
In terms of physical strength, he had recovered sixty to seventy percent, and even his Origin Energy had recovered quite a bit. To Allen's surprise, the Origin Energy vortex had quietly increased by one, and now it had reached eight!
When guiding Allen, Hughton had once popularized some simple knowledge of the Origin Energy system to him. Before the formation of a genetic circuit, the human body was like a sponge, and the speed at which the Origin Energy vortex was formed was relatively faster. For a talented person like Allen, his speed could only be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. However, once a genetic circuit was formed, the growth rate of Origin Energy would slow down.
That was because the amount of Origin Energy required for the first genetic circuit had basically reached the upper limit of the human body's capacity at this stage. If he continued to grow as rapidly as before, his Origin Energy would explode. Therefore, the growth rate of Origin Energy would slow down. At this time, the Origin Energy that was tempered would naturally be absorbed by the body. It would be used to strengthen one's physical fitness, strengthen the adaptability of the organs, and increase the upper limit of the body's capacity for Origin Energy.
Therefore, right now, Allen was not too happy. Moreover, it was reasonable that the life-and-death battle with the pack of wolves earlier would stimulate the growth of Origin Energy. He needed another vortex of Origin Energy to have any hope of breaking through the first barrier. From there, the circuit was constructed and the engraving was formed. Only by advancing to become a sealer could one be considered to have opened the door to power and become a so-called talent of the Federation.
At that time, even in the Federation's army, he would be able to become a second lieutenant. Otherwise, before forming his own imprint, an Origin Energy practitioner would at most be a first-class soldier, which was only slightly higher than cannon fodder.
"Ah, you're awake? Why didn't you wake me up? "Lucy turned around and finally woke up. She yawned and said sleepily.
Allen shrugged and said nothing. Lucy asked again, "How are your injuries?"
"It's better than I expected. It's all thanks to you." Allen pointed at a wound on his body and said, "Your stitching skills are very professional."
"Of course, I have learned battlefield first aid techniques in the system!" As soon as Lucy recovered her spirits, she put on a complacent expression.
Allen became more and more interested in Lucy's identity. As far as he knew, a child who grew up on the surface rarely had the chance to come into contact with knowledge like first aid on the battlefield. That was a real subject of war. How could an ordinary youth on the surface have the chance to learn such a technique? A girl with excellent shooting skills and proficient in strategy and battlefield first aid. Such a person's background would definitely not be simple.
Shooting skills could be trained, but the other two things were not something that could be learned if he wanted to.
Of course, if Lucy didn't say anything, Allen wouldn't ask. Everyone had their own secrets, and Allen was not stupid enough to break the casserole and ask to the end.
Gulp, gulp …
A strange sound came from Lucy's stomach. Allen looked at her, and the latter blushed and said, "What? I haven't eaten since last night. It's normal to be hungry after running and fighting! "
"I didn't say anything." Allen held back his laughter and said, "We don't have anything else right now, but we do have a lot of wolf meat. Let's roast a few hind legs and eat them."
At the thought of Allen's roasting skills, Lucy immediately began to drool and nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice. Allen stood up with his hand on the wall and picked up Kuang Tu, wanting to tear off a few hind legs from the wolf corpse as food. Suddenly, he caught a slight sound in his ears and looked up. The sunlight shone down through the cracks in the mountain, leaving mottled shadows on the rock walls on both sides.
In one of the shadows, something crawled out from the rock wall. It climbed down and left the shadows in the blink of an eye, exposing its shiny black shell to the sunlight. It was a scorpion, gently waving its two large pincers as if it was flaunting its might. Behind its flat body, the tail needle was raised high. This was the appearance of a scorpion when it was fighting. More and more scorpions emerged from the cracks in the stone. This was an abnormal thing.
Scorpions liked the shade. They should have hidden in a cool place during the day. They rarely came out of their nest and moved under the sun like this. However, from last night until now, not a single thing had been normal. Allen was almost certain that these scorpions were like those berserk wolves, driven by something.
"Looks like we won't be able to eat dinner." Allen said.
Lucy looked up and her expression immediately turned ugly. Even when facing a berserk wolf, the girl's expression didn't change, but now that she saw the densely packed scorpions, her expression changed drastically. It seemed that this was the nature of girls. Even a berserk wolf could easily kill hundreds of such scorpions.
"Run, run." Lucy shouted, picked up her things and ran out. There were still a few corpses of berserk wolves in the mountain crevice. It took a lot of effort for the two to get out. Fortunately, they were not caught by the scorpions.
As soon as they got out of the cave, Allen felt a chill on his back. Looking back, there was a berserk wolf basking in the sun on a big rock behind him. Seeing them come out, it was looking at them with a pair of faint eyes that were like flashing blue flames. The berserk wolf stood up, shook its whole body, and then howled. The howl of the wolf immediately echoed in the mountains.
Allen cursed and pulled Lucy to continue another round of escape.
This time, they ran directly from the afternoon to the evening. During this period, they rested near a stream for a while and found the body of a young man. From his bag, they found four or five magazines, all of which were taken advantage of by Lucy. Her bullets had already been used up in the battle in the cave. After that, the two crossed the river and were driven to a valley by the wolves. After leaving the valley, Lucy saw a big lake in the distance.
The lake water glowed like fish scales under the moonlight. What was more noteworthy was that there was a purple-blue energy shield in the middle of the lake. They did not know what was protected inside.
At this time, the wolves behind them were approaching. Although the two knew that without tools, it was useless even if they ran to the lake, but they had to do it. But just as they ran near the lake, the earth suddenly shook. The lake water churned, stirring up a large splash. Just in front of Allen and Selina, an iron chain bridge rose from the lake, connecting the lake shore with the energy shield in the center.
"What's going on?" Lucy was surprised.
"Anyway, it can't be anything good, but it's not up to us to choose now!" Allen shouted, pulling her to run on the iron chain bridge.
The chain bridge was already unstable, and it had just risen from the lake, so the bridge was wet with water. Even if the two of them had quick reflexes, they almost slipped several times while running. As for the Berserk Wolves, their sense of balance was even worse. They rushed onto the bridge, either slipping or falling into the lake because they couldn't maintain their balance. Once they fell into the lake, they would see a large shadow appear in the lake, and then the lake water would boil. The falling berserk wolf struggled desperately in the water, but a large amount of blood still came out.
Occasionally, one or two black shadows would jump onto the surface of the lake. Under the moonlight, Allen could see them clearly. That huge fish head and mouth full of sharp teeth, if it wasn't a bloodthirsty piranha, what was it?
The iron chain was difficult to travel, and there were piranhas in the lake. But even so, more and more berserk wolves ran onto the chain bridge. Allen cut off the rear and Lucy covered him. The two of them cooperated with each other and finally arrived at the floating island in the middle of the lake. As soon as he jumped onto the land, Allen shouted. The lines on the Berserk Butcher's blade lit up, and the ability to sharpen energy was activated. A buzzing energy blade popped out from the tip of the blade.
He waved the Berserk Butcher and instantly cut off the iron chain of the bridge. Then, he slashed through the bridge board and instantly cut off the entire cable bridge. With a rumble, the cable bridge was thrown into the lake, throwing hundreds of berserk wolves onto the bridge into the lake at the same time. The lake immediately exploded, and the ferocious piranhas in the water immediately started a massacre, causing the entire lake to be covered in a layer of bloody light!
Only then did Allen catch his breath and look around. The floating island in the lake was empty. There were only a few coconut trees planted in the lake, and there weren't even many shrubs. In the center was an energy shield. Looking through the blue-purple shield, one could see a square silver metal body inside. It was unknown what it was used for. At this moment, the sound of water rang out again, but a group of ropes floated up from several directions of the floating island.
"Isn't that Mike?" Lucy pointed to the south shore of the lake.
Allen looked into the distance. Sure enough, Mike and a youth ran onto the chain bridge on the other side of the chain bridge. Behind them was a group of Ferocious Poisonous Tarantulas! The tarantulas were also Class 3 dangerous species. They chased after the two youths and began to climb onto the chain bridge. The same was true on the other cable bridges. They were all contestants in the death arena and all sorts of dangerous species chasing after them.
"Looks like this is our last arena," Allen said calmly.
The situation was already quite obvious. The committee had used some special methods to gather all the scattered youths to this place. Next, they would naturally kill each other. However, it had only been a week since they entered Yellowstone Park, and the death arena didn't seem to be over yet. He didn't know what the committee's intentions were this time.
