Luo Yuan found a torn piece of cloth on the road. It was stained with mud and black blood stains. It looked a little stiff and gave off an indescribable smell. Ignoring the disgust, Luo Yuan used the cloth to cover half of his face.
When a volcano erupts, the most deadly thing is not the hot and slow-moving lava or the poisonous gas in the air, but the volcanic ash that falls from the sky. The volcanic ash particles are only a few microns in diameter. Through breathing, the ash can even enter the alveoli and bronchioles and accumulate in large amounts. The lighter case is a violent cough, the more serious case is suffocation.
The sky that was covered by the sun earlier was now dark. Thick smoke rose thousands of meters into the sky and even covered the sun.
Luo Yuan's face gradually became ferocious as he looked at the beast tide that was running wildly again.
He slowly pulled out his Zhanmadao. The blue blade was shining with a cold luster. He suddenly sprinted forward. The Zhanmadao was like a rainbow piercing through the sun, cutting a blue rank mutated beast that was trying to climb onto the highway in half from head to tail. Blood splattered everywhere.
Luo Yuan did not stop. He turned around and sprinted to the right. A mutated beast with a long horn on its head did not even have time to react before the tip of the Zhanmadao had already pierced through its eye and pierced through its skull.
Due to the earthquake, the mutated beasts were rolling together. A large number of low-level mutated beasts were either trampled to death or crushed to death. The density of the mutated beasts was much lower this time. There were not many mutated beasts running in this direction.
However, Luo Yuan did not feel relaxed. Instead, he looked serious.
The mutated beasts that could still stand were at least light blue rank. Blue rank mutated beasts had become the mainstream. Dark blue rank mutated beasts could be seen everywhere. Even the more terrifying ones were scattered around.
His heart thumped loudly, providing him with an endless supply of energy. His internal injuries were rapidly recovering, and even his broken bones were slowly healing. At the same time, however, the range of his perception was also decreasing. But looking at the rate at which it was being consumed, he should still be able to maintain it for a long time, at least half an hour.
The mutated beasts appeared one by one and were killed by him. The density of the mutated beasts was not a threat to Luo Yuan at all. Luo Yuan even had the time to observe the situation of the volcano in the distance.
However, good times did not last long. Finally, a dark blue level mutated beast appeared.
This was a strange mutated beast. It was strange because it looked like a fish, but it had four short legs with some fins. Its black scales were moist, and as it ran, its snow-white belly dragged the ground, leaving a long trail of water, as if it had just climbed out of the water.
As a dark blue level mutated beast, it was huge. It was more than ten meters long and eight meters tall. It was even bigger than the Giant Iguana. There was a bloody mouth on the fish's head, revealing densely packed teeth that were like steel plates.
It looked like it was not used to walking on land. Its running speed was not fast. If it were not for its huge body, it would have been trampled to death. But even so, its body was full of injuries. There were trample marks all over its body, and a part of its tail was missing. It seemed like it had been bitten by some creature.
Luo Yuan's face turned serious. It was not because of the gigantic creature, but because of something else.
This creature was obviously a fish, but it had grown four limbs and ran to the shore.
If this was not an isolated phenomenon, how many aquatic creatures could actually climb to the shore?
In the past, no matter how big the ocean was or how scary the species were, Luo Yuan had never felt pressured. After all, the ocean was the ocean, and the land was the land. The two were like two different worlds. It was not that he had not thought of it, but it was just a habit. But the appearance of this creature had shattered his fantasy.
Creatures were mutating. Before the apocalypse, it had taken hundreds of millions of years for the sea creatures to migrate to land, but now it only took half a year.
Looking at the creature struggling to climb up the highway, Luo Yuan made his move.
He quietly approached the big fish. Perhaps it had just come ashore and was not used to the land environment, so its reaction was extremely slow. It only reacted when Luo Yuan was about ten meters away from it.
But it was too late!
Luo Yuan stomped hard on the ground.
"Earth Stomp!"
Suddenly, the ground shook violently as if it had exploded. The sturdy cement ground was instantly smashed into pieces, which flew a few meters high. As a dark blue level creature, the Earth Stomp did not seem to hurt it. It did not even stun it, but the high-frequency vibration still shook its body violently and stopped moving forward.
Before it could do anything else, Luo Yuan took a few quick steps forward and stomped on the ground. His body rose from the ground, and the sharp edge of his Zhanmadao exploded with a layer of light. The light extended to about half a foot long, and he chopped down hard on the beast's head. The Zhanmadao was about 1.6 meters long, so it was almost 1.8 meters long. With one chop, a third of the beast's head was cut open, and even the brain inside was damaged.
The unimaginable pain caused its tail to struggle intensely, rolling about endlessly, its momentum astonishing.
Luo Yuan had already retreated far away. It was his first time using the Earth Stomp on a dark blue level creature. Its power was average, and it did not cause much damage to the creature. Its attack power was not even comparable to Wang Shishi's telekinesis, but it was surprisingly effective in Luo Yuan's hands.
Any intense battle could not tolerate the slightest bit of carelessness. At this time, even the slightest interference could be fatal. As long as one's movements paused for a moment, one could easily end the battle.
...
As time passed, more and more corpses piled up in front of Luo Yuan. These corpses were very strong, and most of them were still alive, struggling and screaming. Many mutated beasts sensed danger when they saw the scene, and they quickly avoided the area.
Ten minutes later, the beast horde finally retreated completely. Luo Yuan was lucky. He did not encounter a level five mutated beast until the end of the horde. Of course, if there had been a level five mutated beast, the difficulty of the mission would not have been D-. The system seemed to have the ability to predict this.
Seeing that there were no more mutated beasts in front of him, Luo Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief. As soon as he relaxed, his heartbeat returned to normal. The power of the Earth was quickly withdrawn, and his body swayed, almost falling to the ground.
The pain that had been forcefully suppressed by the power of the Earth exploded again. His face was pale, and he was sweating profusely. He quickly used his scabbard to protect himself from falling.
Although his recovery speed was amazing when he integrated with the Earth Stomp, it was not that easy to recover completely. His internal organs had been damaged, and his bones had been broken. The fact that he could still stand was already a testament to his amazing recovery speed. Moreover, the feeling of his strength being depleted had made his body even weaker.
Only by comparison could Luo Yuan feel Lin Xiaoji's strength. Compared to his super recovery, the recovery effect of Luo Yuan's Earth Stomp was not on the same level.
However, one was an additional effect, and the other was an evolved person's main ability. He could not ask for more.
At this moment, the system's prompt rang out.
D- Level Mission: Block the attack of the beast horde. The death count must not exceed two people. Mission completed. Time taken: 32 minutes. Mission Evaluation: Good. "
"Character: Luo Yuan."
"Degree of Completion: 90%."
"Basic Experience Reward + 9,600 * 90%."
"Evaluation: Good. Experience Reward + 4,800 * 90%."
"Experience: 1800038400."
"Battle Beast: Forest Monitor Lizard."
"Progress: 10%."
"Basic Experience Reward + 9,600 * 10%."
"Evaluation: Good. Experience Reward + 4,800 * 10%."
"Experience: 16209600."
His experience had increased by a lot, but Luo Yuan was not happy. If he had a choice, he would not have attempted this kind of mission. The difficulty of D- Level was far beyond his ability. If he had not been lucky enough to understand the Earth Stomp, he would have been a dead body by now.
The volcano in the distance was still erupting, and a thick layer of volcanic ash had accumulated on the ground. Luo Yuan had only been standing for a while, but his clothes were already covered with warm ash.
Seeing that Luo Yuan could not even stand properly, Huang Jiahui quickly ran over while coughing.
"Are you alright? Cough, cough … "Huang Jiahui said worriedly when she saw Luo Yuan's pale face. She then started coughing again.
Luo Yuan shook his head. He also felt like coughing. His lungs felt like they were on fire, and he also felt a strange itch. Looking at more and more volcanic ash falling down, he said seriously, "We can't stay here anymore. We have to leave as soon as possible."
"But … cough, cough … where can we go? The road ahead is blocked." Huang Jiahui tried to hold back her coughing. Her face was pale as she said, "Unless we go through the jungle."
Following the collapse of the Heaven's Pillar Tree, a large number of tree roots had been uprooted from the ground. The highway had collapsed, and most of it had collapsed. It was impossible to walk on it.
"Most of the mutated beasts have escaped after the earthquake. Even if we go through the jungle, it won't be too dangerous," Luo Yuan said.
At this moment, he realized that the outpost not far away had disappeared. His expression changed. Previously, his luggage had been placed at the outpost. Now that the outpost had collapsed, wouldn't it have been buried along with it? There were a lot of supplies stored there. The most important thing was that the tents and drinking water were all stored there.
There was also salt. People would be weak if they did not use salt for a long time. They could make do with other things, but they could not lack salt.
He quickly asked, "Can we still find the luggage?
Huang Jiahui shook her head with a heavy heart. "During the earthquake, cough … there was a deep crack … cough … everything fell into it, and we can't find it anymore."
"Bring me there. Maybe we can find it." Luo Yuan did not believe it. The luggage was too important. Even if it had fallen deep, he had to find it.
When Luo Yuan walked to the crack, he realized that it was impossible. It was a huge crack about 10 meters wide, and it was dark and bottomless. He threw a stone into it, and the stone kept hitting the rock wall, making an echo. Luo Yuan's ears were sharp, but the sound was getting softer and softer until he could not hear it anymore. He still could not feel the bottom of the crack.
They would have to go through the jungle soon. Without a safe tent and drinking water, Luo Yuan could not imagine what kind of threat they would encounter.
He wanted to shout to vent his anger, but he held it in.
Behind him, everyone was coughing. Wang Xiaguang had started coughing up blood. Everyone was coughing up blood, and their faces were pale. Tears were coming out of their eyes, and their eyes were filled with fear.
A sense of despair spread through the team.
