When Wang Shishi saw Luo Yuan lying on the ground and vomiting blood, she felt as if the whole world had collapsed. She was stunned and ran towards Luo Yuan subconsciously. She felt as if something was stuck in her throat and it was very uncomfortable.
At this moment, she had completely forgotten about fear, forgotten about death, and forgotten about the Beast Tide that was surging towards her like a tidal wave.
The beasts were getting closer and closer. Countless mutated beasts were about to trample over Luo Yuan.
In extreme despair, the pain that Wang Shishi had been suppressing erupted completely. She let out a hysterical scream.
"Ah …"
In an instant, a strong shock wave spread from her body. Countless gravel and dust flew everywhere like bullets. Huang Jiahui and the others who were following behind were thrown to the ground by the shock wave.
Before the shockwave dissipated, a small flying shuttle pierced through the air at high speed, making a sharp whistling sound, and quickly shot towards the beast tide. A blue level wolf-like mutated beast was directly pierced through the head and came out from the back of its head. A trace of confusion flashed in its eyes, and its body swayed for a moment before it fell down.
However, the attack of the shuttle had only just begun. After piercing through the mutated wolf, with the help of the telekinesis, its speed, which had slowed down a little, once again sped up. It was like a nimble little fish, shuttling through the tide of beasts. One by one, the mutated beasts fell down.
"Ah …"
Wang Shishi could not stop screaming. Her face was pale, and her dark pupils reflected the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Her strong emotions contained a high degree of Will. The speed of the shuttle was getting faster and faster. It could no longer be seen with the naked eye. Normal mutated beasts could not withstand the attack of such a sharp object made of dark blue level material. After the shuttle had passed through, the mutated beasts fell in rows. A large number of corpses piled up like a mountain. The beasts stopped moving for a while.
In terms of killing efficiency, Wang Shishi had far surpassed Luo Yuan.
At this moment, a sudden earthquake interrupted her attack. She staggered and fell to the ground. Wang Shishi's face was pale. She struggled to stand up from the ground, but fell again. Her knees were on the ground, and she was in so much pain that tears came out of her eyes.
The highway was cracking, and a section of the road in the distance had completely collapsed. Countless pieces of concrete were falling down.
The earthquake grew more intense with each passing second, and the whole world seemed to be shaking non-stop. The strong tremors made it impossible for Wang Shishi to stand up. She rolled around on the ground miserably. Her exposed skin was cut by the broken stones, and blood flowed out.
Wang Shishi and the others were not the only ones affected by the earthquake. The Beast Horde was also in a state of chaos. Countless mutated beasts were knocked to the ground and rolled around each other. The entire Beast Horde stopped moving.
The mutated beast let out a mournful howl, its voice filled with despair and fear.
The billowing smoke had almost covered half the sky. The leaves of the Heaven's Pillar Tree quickly turned yellow and fell off. Then, they fell down like snowflakes.
Not only the leaves, but even the trunk was withering. A large amount of water was being baked away by the underground magma. The smooth bark began to wrinkle, and large pieces of bark fell off.
These pieces of bark were of different sizes. The smaller ones were only the size of a palm, while the bigger ones were more than ten square meters. When they fell on the ground, the sound of metal clashing could be heard. They were extremely heavy, and some low-level mutated beasts were even directly smashed to death by these pieces of bark.
What was even more incredible was that as the bark fell, new bark appeared. The bark was black with a hint of dark red, as if there was liquid flowing inside. As time passed, red flower buds began to grow where the leaves fell, emitting a beautiful luster.
Under this cruel environment, this incredible giant tree began to rapidly mutate. It absorbed a large amount of heat from the underground, as if it wanted to use this method to quell the anger of the underground and race against death.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Although the Heaven's Pillar Tree was powerful, it was still far from being able to contend against natural disasters. As the pressure accumulated deep in the earth's crust increased, an earth-shattering sound suddenly came from the sky.
In an instant, an immeasurable amount of magma broke through the restraints of the ground and shot thousands of meters into the sky.
The mouth of the volcano was tens of meters away from the Heaven's Pillar Tree. With its huge size, it could be said to be the first to bear the brunt of the impact. The terrifying impact of the volcano's eruption caused the hundred-meter-wide giant tree to jump more than ten meters high on the spot. The dense roots that were deep underground were also pulled out, and the ground within a radius of tens of kilometers was instantly deformed.
Countless buildings that didn't collapse in the earthquake suddenly split open, and ferocious tree roots were pulled out from the ground one after another, steaming hot air rising from the ground.
As the highway was close to the Heaven's Pillar Tree, it was sliced into countless pieces. The entire highway kept collapsing, and a large number of boulders tumbled in the air. Huang Jiahui's position also caved in. Huang Jiahui reacted quickly and grabbed onto a steel bar that was exposed. The intense friction caused her hand to bleed.
Huo Dong and Ning Xiaoran fell from the height of seven to eight meters. After rolling a few times, they laid on a pile of rubble, motionless.
When the earthquake subsided, Huo Dong's hands moved slightly and he slowly sat up. He felt as if his entire body had fallen apart. He checked his body. Other than the pain all over his body, there were no obvious injuries. He let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, he was shocked to find that the stone under Ning Xiaoran was dyed red. He panicked and quickly stood up, "Ning Xiaoran, what's wrong? Wake up!"
However, Ning Xiaoran did not move at all. Her face was deathly pale and frighteningly pale. Huo Dong felt a trace of unease in his heart. He took a deep breath and carefully turned her body over. Suddenly, his body trembled and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He saw a sharp stone deeply embedded in the back of her head, and the stone was covered with blood and brain matter.
"Wake up, Ning Xiaoran. You are an evolved person. How could you die?" Huo Dong murmured to himself in disbelief.
Ning Xiaoran always had a shy smile on her face, and she had never blushed with anyone. Even after becoming an evolved person, her attitude was still the same. Everyone treated her like a little sister, but no one expected her to be the first to die.
…..
Just as the volcano erupted, Luo Yuan suddenly stood up. No matter how strong the earthquake was, his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground. His face was flushed, and his heart was beating heavily. Every beat drove the blood in his body to circulate at a high speed.
His muscles moved slowly, and his broken bones gradually straightened. His breathing became slow and long, and after a few breaths, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
He felt as if his feet had completely fused with the ground, and an indescribable force was rising from his feet and spreading throughout his body.
"You have comprehended the Earth's Pulse. In this state, you will receive an additional blessing from the Earth. Ability 1: Never Tire. Ability 2: Super Recovery. During this process, a large amount of Sensory Perception will be consumed until it is completely exhausted."
The system's voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
Strangely, Luo Yuan did not feel excited at all. Instead, he looked calm as he glanced around. He lifted his foot slightly and put it down gently. The ground shook a little. This kind of shaking was completely different from an earthquake. Its frequency was extremely high. Ordinary people would only feel a slight numbness and would not feel the vibration at all. He thought about it and vaguely grasped the pattern. He lifted his right foot again, and the ground did not shake this time.
The Earth Stomp was related to the Earth's Pulse, which was also related to the frequency of Luo Yuan's heartbeat. Once he lifted his foot at the same time as his heartbeat, the ground would produce a strong adhesive force that would suck his foot in. If he lifted his foot by force, the force would increase, but if he put it down, the force would decrease, and the ground would shake.
If he did not walk according to the frequency, he would be fine.
He quickly went to Wang Shishi, who had fainted with blood all over her face. He checked her injuries. They looked scary, but they were actually only superficial wounds. Luo Yuan put her down on a slightly intact empty space, and then found Cao Ling, who was moaning on the ground, and Wang Xiaguang, who was stuck in a crack.
Chen Xianfeng and Lin Xiaoji were lucky, as they were not seriously injured. They slowly stood up on their own.
Then, Luo Yuan pulled Huang Jiahui up from the collapsed area.
He looked down at the collapsed area. Huo Dong was still alive, but Ning Xiaoran was dead. However, he did not feel sad at all. Luo Yuan realized that he had become extremely cold and rational as he was in the Earth's Pulse.
Huo Dong had fallen down, and Luo Yuan could not get him up yet, so he did not care about him.
Everyone looked at Luo Yuan in shock. Luo Yuan, who had been lying on the ground and vomiting blood, looked like he was about to die. Now, he was standing in front of them, completely unharmed.
Huang Jiahui was completely speechless, "Your … your body?"
Luo Yuan shook his head and interrupted her, "I'm fine now. Get a cloth and cover your nose with water. There's poisonous gas and volcanic ash everywhere, so take care of yourself. I'll go look for the giant lizard."
"But there's no water?" Lin Xiaoji asked.
"Use your urine," Luo Yuan said calmly, and turned around to walk away.
Luo Yuan found it in a huge sinkhole. It was almost buried together with a large number of mutated beasts' corpses. Its body was covered in blood and internal organs. It was trying to climb out, but every time it climbed halfway, it would fall back down awkwardly.
The pit was too deep. The vertical distance was more than 20 meters, and it was quite steep.
Moreover, the giant lizard had been stepped on so many times that it had suffered serious internal injuries. That was because of the strong defense of a dark blue level mutated beast. If it had been a blue level mutated beast, it would have been trampled to death.
There was no shortage of boulders here. Luo Yuan found a few and threw them into the pit. After a while, the lizard finally climbed out. It walked a few steps, then lay on the ground motionlessly. Blood was flowing from the corner of its mouth, and its body was shaking. It seemed to be seriously injured.
Luo Yuan looked at it expressionlessly, and then looked into the distance.
A small mountain that was hundreds of meters tall had appeared out of thin air, and lava was constantly erupting from it. The air was filled with a large amount of thick smoke, almost covering the entire sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and thick bolts of lightning flashed above the volcano like dragons. It was a scene of doomsday.
There was a choking smell in the air, and the volcanic ash fell like snowflakes. Not long after, the ground was covered with a thick layer of ash.
The huge Heaven's Pillar Tree was lying on the ground, and the hot lava had gradually spread over its trunk. White hot flames were burning from time to time. As the energy accumulated underground was released, the earthquake gradually subsided. Countless mutated beasts stood up again and ran away.
