The night was like water.
On the side of the bridge, the sea breeze was blowing, bringing with it a slightly moist atmosphere.
The sound of rushing water could be heard from afar. It was barely audible before, but now it was a little noisy. It was as if a huge tide was rushing towards them with a shocking momentum. Even the sky seemed to be drizzling.
Luo Yuan touched his face and felt that it was a little wet.
A few minutes later, he vaguely saw a huge shadow. It was walking along the sea at an extremely shocking speed, stirring up waves that were tens of meters high.
The shallow sea was far from being able to drown its body. Its huge limbs were like stone blocks, tumbling violently in the sea. As it moved forward at a high speed, the sea that was a few kilometers wide was undulating, and waves of seawater were violently rushing towards both sides.
Only when it was close to the sea, Luo Yuan could really see its body clearly.
Unlike the giant lizard, its mutation was not serious. Luo Yuan could recognize its original form at a glance. It was undoubtedly a mutated turtle, but it was quite huge. Its diameter was about 30 to 40 meters. Compared to it, the giant lizard was like an insignificant dot.
The dark gray turtle shell was covered with rough obtuse horns. These obtuse horns emitted a faint fluorescence in the dark. Compared to ordinary sea turtles, its neck was long and thick. Its head looked somewhat deformed. Its mouth was wide, and it was densely covered with fangs. It looked extremely ferocious. Compared to this docile sea turtle, this was obviously a terrifying beast.
Luo Yuan held his breath. He only took a glance before quickly retracting his gaze. His face looked terrible. Even though the creature was still far away, he could still feel its heavy and oppressive aura. He turned around and looked at the giant lizard that was a few hundred meters away.
It had already shrunk into a corner. It might have been an illusion, but he could vaguely feel that the giant lizard was slightly trembling.
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom" from not far away.
The bridge shook violently, and the steel cables as thick as an adult's arm twisted under the terrifying force, groaning as they couldn't bear the load. Then, one by one, the steel cables snapped. With terrifying kinetic energy, they streaked across the silent night sky at high speed, letting out a blood-curdling screech. The next moment, more than ten sections of the bridge collapsed like dominoes.
Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He did not care about the violent shaking of the bridge. He grabbed the railing and looked down. A thick pier was considered an insignificant obstacle in the beast's advance. It was easily knocked down and broken into pieces.
His face was aghast. The pier of this kind of sea crossing bridge was incomparably sturdy. If one wanted to knock it down, ordinary ships would be powerless. Unless they used a ten thousand ton ship and rammed it at high speed, it would be impossible to knock it down.
He had thought that it was a light green creature, but now he wasn't so sure.
Luo Yuan did not know much about marine life, so he had no idea about its situation. However, he was sure that the strength of marine life was much stronger than that of terrestrial life, and the competition was much more intense.
In China before the apocalypse, other than some special protected areas and primeval forests, there were very few large creatures. Not to mention the cities, even in the countryside, there were still traces of large creatures like wolves and wild boars in the mountains in the 70s and 80s. However, before the apocalypse, they had already disappeared without a trace. Even rabbits were hard to find.
Only domestic animals and pets were able to survive in the Kingdom of the Bite of the Tongue. However, they were massacred before they could mutate in the post-apocalyptic world. Nowadays, most of the large creatures were mutated from small creatures. Even so, humans were constantly being pushed back, not to mention those huge sea creatures.
After crossing the sea crossing bridge, the giant turtle did not stop and continued to move forward.
A few minutes later, when it gradually disappeared from his sight, Luo Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it had left, or else he would have to evacuate overnight.
He touched his forehead. Unknowingly, his forehead was covered in sweat. His body seemed to have collapsed, and his whole body felt weak. There was a trace of bitterness on his face. Not to mention fighting against such a creature, even standing near it was a kind of torture. He did not know how the other people in the fortifications hundreds of meters away would react. He was afraid that they would not be much better than him.
However, he had some doubts. The most suitable environment for marine life was the ocean. What was this giant beast doing here?
Of course, during the flood season, this was also the ocean. However, most of the area was now a mudflat. Even the largest river here could not accommodate such a huge creature.
Moreover, according to the theory of evolution, the first batch of marine creatures to walk on land were the losers in the cruel competition. However, with its strength, it should not be weak in the ocean. It was not at the stage where it needed to live on land.
The strong doubts made him want to follow it and have a look.
He looked at the time. It was not even one o 'clock in the morning. He hesitated for a while, but felt that it would not be dangerous to follow it from afar, so he quickly ran towards the shore.
The two sides of the sea bridge had almost become a forest. However, because this was a saline-alkali land, it seemed a little sparse. Fist-sized insects that looked like fireflies were constantly flying in the forest. Coupled with some glowing plants in the distance, this place was decorated with strange and dazzling lights.
Luo Yuan ran at a high speed in the forest. He was as agile as a monkey in the jungle, and the trees on both sides of the road passed by him.
Half an hour later, he climbed up a big tree and looked into the distance.
...
The sky was filled with dark clouds, but it was rare to see a blurry round moon.
He was less than three kilometers away from the giant turtle. It had now left the Haihe River and climbed up the mudflat in the cold night. It was quiet all around. All the creatures were trying their best to hide themselves under the oppressive atmosphere. Even the incessant chirping of the insects at night was as quiet as a cicada in winter.
Luo Yuan held his breath, and his body was as still as a rock.
The giant tortoise stopped when it reached a high ground. It looked around with its huge and ferocious head, as if it was on guard against something. When its cold eyes glanced at Luo Yuan, it paused for a moment.
Luo Yuan's scalp tingled and his heart skipped a beat as he was being stared at by those eyes that were like torches in the dark. He almost turned around and ran away.
Fortunately, it quickly turned around and continued to look at other places.
Luo Yuan's chest rose and fell violently, trying to control the fear in his heart.
At that moment, he clearly felt that he had been discovered. His method of hiding his aura was useless in front of this creature. However, it didn't seem to care about his existence. Perhaps to it, he was just an inconspicuous little bug.
Just when Luo Yuan did not know whether to leave or stay, the giant turtle began to dig with its four limbs. It was like a super excavator, and very quickly, it dug a 40 to 50 meters wide and deep hole. After a few minutes, it stopped.
Its body was lying on the ground, motionless, and its tail was stuck tightly in the hole.
Could it be …
Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, his guess was confirmed. The giant turtle groaned, and it sounded like it was in pain. After a while, it slowly stood up and continued to dig with its four limbs, bringing with it a large amount of mud to bury the hole.
After doing all this, it did not leave immediately. It continued to look around, and this time, it looked more carefully. After a few minutes, it slowly walked towards the Haihe under Luo Yuan's fearful gaze. It looked very weak, and its body was wobbling.
If it had been a normal light green level creature, this might have been a good opportunity. However, facing this sea creature, whose level was unknown, Luo Yuan did not have the slightest idea.
It walked into the Haihe River, and under the hazy moonlight, it soon disappeared in the direction it came from.
Luo Yuan continued to hide in the tree. After half an hour, when there was no sound coming from afar, he jumped down from the tree and quickly ran towards the shore.
A few minutes later, he walked to the high ground. Even though the giant turtle had gone far away, there was still its aura lingering there. However, this aura was nothing to Luo Yuan's 15-point Will.
The hole was as big as three basketball courts, and he had no idea how deep it was. Luo Yuan stood on the ground and sensed for a while. He was delighted. It had come to a place far away from the ocean to lay eggs.
The only pity was that there was only one egg. However, it was normal. In nature, the stronger the creature, the harder it was to reproduce. The weaker the creature, the less restrictions it had on reproduction. Just like the sea turtles before the apocalypse, if they laid hundreds of eggs in a nest, the whole ocean would have been occupied by them.
Unfortunately, he did not have a suitable tool. He could use a knife to kill, but he could not dig a hole. He could only use his hands.
He stuck the knife on the side, stood in the middle of the mud, and started to dig with his hands.
The mud was soft, so it was not difficult to dig. Moreover, because the giant turtle had been here, the mutated creatures in the mud had all escaped due to its terrifying aura. Some of them did not manage to escape in time and were still in a state of shock. They had not recovered from the impact of the giant turtle's aura, so there was no danger at all.
However, the thing inside was too deep. It was more than 20 meters deep. If he wanted to dig it out, he would not be able to sleep tonight. Luo Yuan thought to himself, but he had obviously overestimated his digging ability.
It was impossible to dig a hole more than 20 meters deep, especially in this kind of soft mudflat. Otherwise, he would be buried. The egg was more than two meters tall, and its surface seemed to be covered with a thick layer of transparent material. Its entire body was more than five meters long. If the hole was too small, not only would it collapse, but it would also be impossible to take it out.
There was no room for tricks, so he could only dig according to the size of the hole dug by the giant turtle. It was undoubtedly a huge project.
Luo Yuan only dug for half an hour, and he was a little discouraged. Looking at the hole that was more than a meter wide and half a meter deep, he smiled bitterly. At this rate, he would not be able to finish it even if he dug for three days and three nights without sleep. If there was a rain in between, he would have to start all over again.
Suddenly, he was stunned.
Why did he have to dig it himself? Didn't he have the giant lizard? Although it was not as good as the giant turtle, it would not take long for the giant lizard.
