In the clear stream, a cod swam nimbly through the water. In the east, the morning light leaped over the peaks, casting golden light on the stream and the surrounding valley. The cod moved after the light, yearning for the light. This was the instinct of life. However, when it swam to a relatively calm area, it suddenly had a warning sign. The cod swung its tail and wanted to swim away, but it was already too late.
A sharpened wooden spear suddenly pierced into the stream and accurately nailed the cod to the body. A fair and slender palm held the wooden spear and easily picked up the cod tail. When the cod tail was thrown ashore, it was still alive and kicking. Beside it, its other kind had long since lost its strength and could only barely spit out bubbles.
Lucy clapped her hands and quickly built a small stone barricade with the rubble she had picked up. The hollow under the stone barricade could be stuffed with withered branches to make a fire. This way, the flames wouldn't be too obvious. Moreover, most of the high temperature and heat would be bound in the stone barricade. Then, he would build a wooden shelf on top of it, remove the fish's internal organs, cut them into fish slices, and place them on top of the stone barricade's own temperature to smoke and roast them. It would also be a delicious meal in the wild.
After putting the fish slices on the simple grill, Lucy washed her hands in the stream. She walked back to the side of the grilled fish and carefully flipped the fish slices to prevent them from being burnt. The cod gradually emitted a fragrance. Normally, Lucy would have been drooling with greed, but now, she seemed to be a little worried.
The pursuit that night was originally quite smooth. If nothing unexpected happened, even Ans could be killed. However, who knew that An Si had already constructed a circuit and activated the engraving, causing them to fall short of success. After evacuating, they hid for a day. Continuous battles caused Allen's injuries to worsen. Especially in the end, Allen used all his strength to break open a crack in Ans' ability, causing the wounds that the youth had suffered in his battle with the Berserk Wolf to be completely torn apart.
When Lucy cleaned his wounds again, Allen fainted because of his serious injuries and the fact that his Origin Energy was almost exhausted. It wasn't until 12 hours later that he woke up. After Allen woke up, they immediately left their hiding place and came to this valley to rest for the night. Now that Allen's injuries had improved and his Origin Energy had almost recovered, it was still difficult for them to win.
An engraver, even if it was a beginner engraver, was able to use the ability to engrave, which was already different from an Origin Energy practitioner. That night, Ans had proved it, too. That strange energy vortex restricted their movements, and even if the final explosion didn't take their lives, it would make it difficult for them to escape with heavy injuries, which wasn't much different from dying on the spot.
Originally, they had victory in their grasp. Now, the future was unpredictable.
Lucy turned over the codfish gloomily, and there was the sound of footsteps in her ears. She raised her head and saw Allen wearing his defensive light armor again, carrying Kuang Tu and walking over. The left chest piece of the defensive light armor had already caved in and cracked. That was Lu Sen's masterpiece. Fatty's dying counterattack was astonishing. If it weren't for the protection of his light armor, Allen would definitely have been seriously injured. From this, it could be seen how troublesome the fatty was. If it wasn't for Allen making a prompt decision that night to kill Lucen first.
Otherwise, if Fatty and Ans, who possessed an engraving, worked together, Allen and the others probably wouldn't even have a chance of winning.
"How are your injuries?" Lucy asked.
Allen stretched his arms and nodded, "It's about time. Can you eat the fish fillets you roast? I'm starving. "
Lucy picked up one of the pieces with a dagger and handed it to Allen. Seeing him eat it with relish, Lucy couldn't help but say, "It's hard for you to eat it."
"Why can't I eat it?" Allen had already quickly eaten a piece of fish. He wasn't afraid of the heat and reached out to touch the other piece.
"Did you forget Ans? He's already a sealer! "Lucy said snappily.
Allen began to destroy the second piece of fish. His mouth was full of oil, but he didn't forget to say, "So what if he's a sealer? He's not immortal. We can always kill him. Right now, we have to fill our stomachs and recuperate our spirits before we have the strength to deal with him. "
"Are you always so optimistic?" Lucy rolled her eyes. This guy didn't seem to know how troublesome the sealer was for them right now.
Allen revealed a row of snow-white teeth and smiled, "When I realized that pessimism and sadness couldn't change the truth, I knew that I had to be optimistic."
Lucy was stunned. She looked at Allen's smile, but she felt an inexplicable trace of sadness. What did he have to experience to have such a realization when he was about the same age as her?
"Hey, if you don't eat, I'm going to eat it all!"
Perhaps infected by Allen's positive emotions, Lucy also felt that Ann wasn't that troublesome. As soon as she was in a good mood, the glutton in her stomach cried out. Seeing that there weren't many cod fillets left, the girl immediately cried out in alarm. She picked up a piece with a dagger and sent it to her mouth.
After the two of them had a pleasant breakfast, they packed up and moved again.
In the afternoon, a tall and thin figure appeared in the valley. In the end, he stood at the place where Allen and the others had eaten in the morning. The stone barricade was still there, and there was still a faint warmth in the cracks of the stone. Ans laughed, "How far can you escape?"
He clapped his hands and circled around, finding some traces on the nearby grassy slope. As he continued to track, he found two pairs of footprints. Then, the scattered traces led Ans to a forest a few hundred meters away from the valley. The forest was very quiet. The afternoon sun left behind fine spots of light in the forest, and the air was filled with the fragrance of vegetation.
Ans followed the traces left behind by Allen and the others to a tree hole. There seemed to be a long breath coming from the tree hole. Ans sneered, took out his revolver, and fired a few shots into the tree hole.
The gunshot startled the birds, and the sound of gunfire came from the tree hole. Then, two fluorescent lights lit up. Just as Ans felt that something was wrong, a berserk wolf rushed out of the tree hole and pounced at Ans with a wild roar.
"Damn it, I've been tricked!" Ans shouted angrily. He nimbly dodged the berserk wolf's pounce and shot it in the head, knocking it down.
Just as he took a deep breath, the low roar of a wild beast suddenly sounded from behind him. Ans turned around and his expression turned ugly. At least seven or eight Sword-Toothed Berserk Wolves emerged from behind the forest. They were obviously attracted by the cries of their own kind. There must be a wolf den nearby. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many berserk wolves appearing at the same time. What was hateful was that after 24 hours, the nanomachines used to expel dangerous species had already been expelled from their bodies. Now, these berserk wolves were not afraid of Ans. They only wanted to tear him apart!
"It sounds like gunshots?" Lucy raised her head and listened.
Allen grinned and said, "Looks like my little arrangement worked. Now Ans is probably going into the berserk wolf's nest."
"I really hope he's bitten to death." Lucy said sincerely.
"That's impossible. At most, it'll cause him some trouble. If we want to kill him, we'll have to rely on ourselves. Well, let's do it here. "Allen kicked away a few pieces of rubble. In front of him was a deep cave.
This was a mountainous area to the south of the valley. The hillsides were undulating, the mountain paths were complicated, and there were many forks in the road. It was like a maze. Allen had deliberately chosen this place, and even Lucy did not know what his intentions were.
Allen had already drilled into the cave. The cave was long and ten meters deep. It was very dry inside, and the sun shone through the cracks in the mountain above, leaving behind rays of light. Allen circled around at the end of the cave. After confirming that it wasn't the nest of some dangerous species, he sat down.
"Are you planning to hide here?" Lucy asked.
Allen nodded and said, "At least for now, we have to hide. Besides, I can't be disturbed by Ans for what I'm going to do next, so I have to hide for now. "
"What do you want to do?" Lucy squatted down and asked angrily.
Pointing at himself, Allen said, "I'm going to try to build a circuit. If everything goes well, I can also activate the engraving. At that time, even if I fight Ans head-on, I don't have to be afraid of him. "
Lucy was delighted when she heard this. She reached out and hammered on his shoulder. "You already have nine vortexes? Good heavens, you didn't tell me. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so worried. "
Allen smiled bitterly and said, "I only found out this morning. It seems that Ans stimulated me enough that night to create a vortex. "
"That's enough. With nine vortexes of Origin Energy, we can construct the first circuit. Hurry up and do it. I'll keep a lookout for you. "Lucy took out her automatic pistol and shook it.
"I'll try my best." Allen said. He was no ordinary person. Even though he already had nine vortexes, he still had to break through the first barrier of Origin Energy confinement. Otherwise, he would not be able to construct a genetic circuit.
Lucy didn't know that he still had this barrier. She patted him on the shoulder happily and said, "Do your best."
With that, she walked out of the cave to keep a lookout for Allen.
Allen took a deep breath. Although Hughton had said that it was best not to use that method, it was no longer up to Allen to choose. He had no choice but to burn the boat and stake everything on one throw!
He closed his eyes and relaxed his entire body. Just like when he ignited the fire seed that day, he used his breathing to calm his mind and use his heart to feel the Origin Energy in his body. Very quickly, Allen felt them. The vortex of Origin Energy was like a small nebula that was constantly rotating. It emitted light and heat. As the ends of his will swept past them, Allen could feel the warm aura.
He began to activate the vortex, allowing them to circulate through the blood vessels in his body. After nine rounds, Allen could feel a faint sense of expansion all over his body. It was a phenomenon that his blood vessels had been stimulated by the Origin Energy and had already relaxed. This was just a warm-up. After the warm-up was over, he entered the main topic. He began to consciously push the vortexes of Origin Energy to chase and collide with each other. As these vortexes flew, their tails pulled out faint tails of light, like tiny meteors.
Under Allen's will, the vortexes of Origin Energy began to collide. Every time they collided, Allen's entire body would tremble slightly. After nine consecutive tremors, the vortexes almost reached each other, turning from a small meteor into a comet wrapped in flames. They pushed out a long flame tail at their tails and roared towards the location of their hearts.
The critical moment had finally arrived.
When the Origin Energy Comet crashed into his heart, Allen immediately felt the existence of the invisible barrier. When the two collided with each other, it was like a surging wave crashing into an incomparably hard reef. Although the reef was constantly shaking from the huge waves, it did not shatter immediately.
As for Allen, his chest suddenly ached and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
