As the thought flashed through his mind, the capillaries were opened one by one, but there was nothing he could do about the dislocations.
If he wanted to reconnect his muscles, he would first have to break the muscle fibers again. However, Luo Yuan realized that his Will could not hurt himself. The human body had a subconscious instinct to protect itself. It would be self-contradictory if he wanted to hurt himself with his Will. It would not work unless he hypnotized himself, which was the deepest level of subconscious hypnosis.
Unfortunately, Luo Yuan knew nothing about it, so he had to give up. He would have to think of another way.
In less than five minutes, Luo Yuan felt that his Will had been reduced to half of its usual level, so he quickly retreated. Once his Will was reduced to a certain level, it would seriously affect his mental state, which in turn would affect his strength. In such a dangerous world, if he was not in a good state, it would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous.
The halo in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he slowly stood up.
He felt an indescribable feeling in his body. Perhaps it was because all the capillaries had been opened, but his body felt much more refreshed. It was as if a layer of burden had been removed, and he felt lighter. However, when Luo Yuan tried to control his muscles, he felt that there was no improvement.
He was not disappointed, though. Improvement in strength was a gradual process. It would be abnormal if he could achieve it in one go. He felt that his current condition was better than ever.
Then, he looked at Zhou Yicheng. He was still in a coma, and his face was still pale. However, compared to when he was about to die, he was much better. At least he had some vitality, and his breathing had begun to become orderly. The pus had stopped oozing out. Everything was going well.
The most dangerous time had passed. The life force of a blue level mutated beast had dragged him back from the abyss of death.
Luo Yuan was relieved. When he looked back at the mutated beast, it was already on the verge of death.
"Water … water!"
Zhou Yicheng's eyes were closed, and his cracked lips moved a few times as he murmured.
However, there was no water, and Luo Yuan was too lazy to ask his men to bring it in. He looked at the poor mutated beast and had an idea. He grabbed its fur and violently lifted it up. Then, he quickly took out a dagger from his waist and slit its throat. The next moment, a large amount of viscous blood spurted out like a fountain.
Zhou Yicheng's chapped lips were flushed with hot blood, and he instinctively gulped down large mouthfuls of it. As a large amount of blood flowed down his throat, his face flushed with excitement.
In less than half a minute, he could not drink anymore. His stomach was bulging and blood was gushing out of his mouth. Luo Yuan put the beast down and asked Zhou Yicheng to hold the handle of the sword again.
The giant beast, which was already on the verge of death, lost all signs of life after such a torment.
The behemoth's life force did not completely disappear after its death. It continued for quite a long time, only disappearing half an hour later. It did not stiffen like an ordinary corpse, but instead became even softer.
… …
Luo Yuan carried the beast in his left hand and walked down the stairs. A few soldiers quickly surrounded him.
"How's our battalion commander?" The soldiers looked a little nervous.
"It's nothing serious. The situation is basically stable. You guys can go up and have a look!" Luo Yuan said.
The soldiers were excited and quickly ran past Luo Yuan to check out the situation.
"Clean this up, we'll have this for dinner tonight." Luo Yuan smiled and shook his head. He threw the beast in the middle of the room and said.
"Is this still edible?" Huang Jiahui pointed at the beast and asked doubtfully.
"It should be edible!" Luo Yuan was not sure either. According to the literal meaning of the word, life absorption should be absorbing life, but life was vague and illusory. For example, the simplest life was made up of protein and nucleic acid, but protein and nucleic acid could not be considered life. Otherwise, a corpse would also be considered life. As for what exactly life was, science had not yet concluded. This was also one of the reasons theology was popular before the apocalypse.
However, when they peeled off the beast's skin, everyone could not help but gasp.
The flesh of the entire corpse seemed to have rotted away. Many of the tendons were broken. When the skin was pulled off, a large piece of flesh was hanging on it. Huo Dong grabbed it lightly and easily tore off a piece of flesh. With just a pinch, it was crushed into meat paste like tofu residue.
They looked at each other in disbelief. The mutated beast's flesh was so strong that it was not that easy to pull it off, let alone crush it into meat paste. Under normal circumstances, even Luo Yuan could not do that.
When the flesh was put into boiling water, it completely melted and turned into a pot of muddy soup. The taste had completely disappeared. Not only was it tasteless, but it also tasted like sand in the mouth.
Luo Yuan suspected that the beast's genes had collapsed, so it was obviously not edible anymore. Seeing that it was still early, Luo Yuan went out to hunt again.
… …
The weather was gloomy and rainy, and the sky turned dark not long after dinner. Everyone went to bed early while there was still light.
Luo Yuan was sitting cross-legged at the door as usual.
However, he did not know why it was difficult for him to enter the state of meditation that day. All kinds of thoughts kept popping up in his mind, making him extra annoyed. This kind of situation had become rare as he continued to meditate. Usually, he would be able to enter the state of mind in a few minutes, but now he could not stay calm even after three hours.
After trying for another half an hour, he had no choice but to give up and stand up.
It was still raining outside, and it seemed like it would still be raining the next day. Just as Luo Yuan was about to find a corner to sleep, the tent door opened and a small figure came out. She was shocked when she saw Luo Yuan standing at the door. She went back into the tent.
After a minute, the figure quietly came out of the tent and looked at Luo Yuan, who was standing with his back facing her. She seemed to be hesitant.
Luo Yuan laughed. He had already sensed that she was tossing and turning in the tent. She had not fallen asleep.
"Why aren't you asleep? What's the matter?" Luo Yuan turned around and asked gently.
"I … I … I need to pee!" Chen Jiayi did not expect Luo Yuan to suddenly turn around. She was scared and stuttered.
"Then go quickly. Just find a corner. It's not dangerous here!" Luo Yuan said.
"Oh!" Chen Jiayi seemed to be anxious too. She did not care about her fear and quickly ran to the nearest corner. After a while, she came back. When she reached the tent, Luo Yuan suddenly called out to her, "Come here, let's talk."
Chen Jiayi did not know what Luo Yuan wanted to talk about. She suddenly became nervous and walked away step by step. Her body started to tremble like a frightened rabbit.
"Are you afraid of me?" Luo Yuan laughed.
"No … No!" Chen Jiayi lowered her head and quickly said, her hands twisting the corner of her clothes.
"Then raise your head. You won't live long after the apocalypse if you're so timid. The first thing you need to do is to overcome your fear. " Luo Yuan looked slightly serious. She could not be this timid. Even Wang Shishi had not been this timid before.
"I … I … Uncle, I will be brave in the future!" Chen Jiayi was so scared that she quickly raised her head. Her face had turned pale and her body had started to tremble violently. Her face was full of tears.
Luo Yuan did not expect her to be so scared with just one sentence. He waved his hand and said, "That depends on your performance in the future. Go back to sleep now. Don't toss and turn in bed. We still have to continue our journey tomorrow morning."
Luo Yuan's words had obviously put unimaginable pressure on the young Chen Jiayi. She walked back anxiously, her tears falling to the ground. She stood at the entrance of the tent for a while and then suddenly turned around and walked back.
Luo Yuan looked at Chen Jiayi and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I … It's not that I can't sleep. I … I just feel danger!" Chen Jiayi tried hard to raise her head, revealing a tear-stained face.
"Don't scare yourself. Just sleep well!" Luo Yuan did not understand at first, but he quickly understood. He stopped smiling and said, "You mean you feel danger?"
"Yes … Yes, it's very, very dangerous?" The little girl did not know how to describe it. She gestured with her hand and said anxiously, "It's fast … approaching."
Luo Yuan paced around a few times. His heart sank. Coupled with the fact that he could not meditate, he felt that something was wrong. He asked, "Are you an evolved person?"
"I … I don't know!" She was shocked by Luo Yuan's serious expression and could not help but take a few steps back.
"Do you usually feel threatened?" Luo Yuan asked. He guessed that she was a special evolved person, but she just did not know it.
"Many, many threats. Some are big, some are small, but none as big as today. Not even this afternoon," Chen Jiayi said in a sobbing tone.
He was getting more and more uneasy. He quickly lay on the ground and listened quietly for a while. Suddenly, his expression changed and he shouted, "Everyone get up! We leave in five minutes!"
