It was just like playing Minesweeper. Some people liked to hit here and there with a hammer, causing explosions everywhere, while others liked to attack a path alone, sweeping and pushing forward.
The strange bird belonged to the latter. Luo Yuan could see that the giant rock it had chosen had a clear path. The closer it was to the cave, the wetter the soil was.
Based on that, the next rock it would choose would be nearby.
According to the strange bird's habit, it would choose a rock of similar weight. There were not many of such choices around here. The range was reduced again.
However, even this was far from enough. For a mutated bird like the strange bird, its scale of distance was completely different from that of a human. For a human, a kilometer was already a very long distance, but for a mutated bird, it would only take a few seconds. The cognitive scale of the two was very different.
In fact, the range that the strange bird had chosen was about 1.5 kilometers in diameter. Even the two nearest boulders that fit the bird's criteria were more than 100 meters away, and the furthest one was 1,000 meters away. That was far beyond Luo Yuan's attack range.
Due to air resistance, the farther the distance, the weaker the power of his short spear. Once it was more than 100 meters away, it would not be able to maintain the speed of sound. Although it was still powerful, it would not be effective against a light green mutated beast with a strong defense.
He only had one chance. If he failed this time, it would be almost impossible for him to ambush it again.
Luo Yuan looked at the time. It was already 1 am, about four to five hours before dawn. He still had time. That was enough time for him to set up his trap.
...
Under the night sky, a figure was pushing a giant rock with a diameter of one meter. He was staggering, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and he was sweating profusely. As he slowly moved forward, the giant rock left a one meter deep ditch behind him.
Although Luo Yuan had killed the light green bird as easily as killing a chicken, he could not even move the giant rock that the bird could lift with one claw.
In terms of strength, he could not even compare to a blue level creature, let alone a light green level creature. That was the natural weakness of small and medium-sized creatures.
"It would be great if the giant lizard was here." Luo Yuan could not help but think of his pet.
Just as he was distracted, his feet slipped. Coupled with his already exhausted body, he immediately fell to the ground.
"Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! "
A mutated primate pointed at Luo Yuan and jumped up and down as if it had discovered something big.
In fact, since Luo Yuan had entered the cave, it had been paying attention to him. Maybe it thought he was one of its kind, but he was a little small, which made it curious.
Luo Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry when he was mocked by a mutated beast. He glared at it, but it was not intimidating because of the Green Hidden Man's Horn.
The strong mutated beast, which looked like King Kong, jumped even more happily. It ran around Luo Yuan and made strange noises from time to time, which attracted a few curious mutated beasts.
The mutated beast had obviously inherited most of the ape's habits. Being surrounded by so many mutated beasts, it did not restrain itself. Instead, it became even more excited. It ran around Luo Yuan and pushed a giant rock, just like Luo Yuan.
The giant rock was bigger than the one Luo Yuan was using. It weighed about 10 tons, but it was easy for the seven-meter-tall beast. After a few seconds, it had pushed it about 10 meters away.
Luo Yuan was curious about what the ape was trying to do, but when it suddenly pretended to slip and pointed at Luo Yuan and shouted, Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
He felt like there were countless horses galloping in his heart.
"Damn it!" Luo Yuan's face darkened as he secretly held the handle of his knife.
Suddenly, he thought of something and let go of the handle. "Since you want to play, I'll let you have your fun."
With a dangerous look on his face, he walked towards the giant ape that was still laughing at him.
The giant ape did not notice the approaching danger at all. At this time, it was very energetically using its wicker basket-like fists to pound on its almost exaggerated chest muscles, making loud "peng peng" sounds as if it was hitting a tire. In front of the many surrounding mutated beasts, it displayed its strength and strength.
Luo Yuan sneered and sped up. When the distance between them was less than 50 meters, his body was almost like a shadow. In just a few strides, he appeared under the giant ape's feet. He twisted his waist and stepped forward to punch the ape's calf.
The excited giant ape immediately changed its expression. Its eyes bulged and it let out an earth-shattering scream. Luo Yuan did not use his full strength. Otherwise, with his speed of breaking the speed of sound, even an alloy would have been bent, not to mention bones.
However, this pain was just the beginning for this shameless giant ape.
After Luo Yuan's attack, he moved his feet and moved behind the ape. He aimed at the ape's other knee and kicked it hard.
The ape's scream had only lasted for less than 0.1 seconds before it was interrupted by an even shorter, muffled groan. Because the pitch had changed too fast, the sound was a little distorted.
In the next moment, its heavy body fell heavily to the ground like a collapsing mountain and a collapsing jade pillar, and it fiercely bit a mouthful of mud.
The giant ape was furious. Its face was ferocious and its muscles were bulging. Its veins were bulging like pythons. Its exaggerated muscles contained terrifying strength.
"Bang!"
Before it could stand up, it received another heavy blow to the head, and its face was once again buried in the soil.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
Then, punches fell on its head like raindrops. In order to teach the ape a better lesson, Luo Yuan added a little Will to each of his punches.
However, he did not add a lot of Will, but each punch made it more painful. He did not want to kill it.
Therefore, the giant ape faced the most painful and desperate beating of its life. No matter how it struggled or fought back, Luo Yuan's 15-point Dexterity could not do anything. Gradually, its head was buried deeper and deeper into the mud. Finally, only the back of its head was exposed.
However, the giant ape had a thick skin and strong vitality, so it was very resistant to beatings. After being beaten up by Luo Yuan for a full five to six minutes, its head was buried tightly in the mud, but Luo Yuan could still hear its muffled roars.
"It's still so energetic!" Luo Yuan raised his eyebrows and continued to beat it. At the same time, he added a little more Will.
Not long after, the roars gradually turned into muffled moans. The muffled moans did not last long before they turned into terrified whimpers.
Luo Yuan thought for a while and stopped. His body started to move back.
As soon as the attack stopped, the giant ape jumped up and bared its fangs. Its eyes were filled with violence as it looked at Luo Yuan, who was right in front of it. It pounced on him with its big hands, which were as big as a basket, like a shadow trying to hit him.
The giant ape was talented and shockingly strong. Before its attack could reach Luo Yuan, there was already a strong wind in front of it.
In an instant, its palms landed heavily on the ground, sinking more than a meter deep into the sand. The ground shook slightly. However, such a strong attack did not make the ape proud. Instead, it was filled with fear. Its whole body started to tremble as it realized that the dangerous little thing had disappeared.
Its head, which was the size of a round table, was like a rusty machine, turning back stiffly inch by inch.
From the corner of its eyes, it saw a small figure standing behind it.
Its whole body quivered, and with a howl, it ran forward with all its might in a flurry. As for its previous courage to attack, it had long since disappeared without a trace.
However, after running for two steps, it felt a sharp pain in its knees. Its legs turned to jelly and it knelt on the ground.
Following that, the screams continued for an hour and a half. Fighting and running, running and clawing. The mournful and painful screams caused the surrounding mutated beasts to flee in fear.
...
It crouched timidly on the ground, its eyelids drooping, its eyes unfocused, and its body trembling from time to time, as if it was an idiot who had just been beaten up by a dozen big men, and no longer had the vigor it had before.
Every time Luo Yuan looked at it, it would subconsciously cover its head with its hands and let out a whimper. After an hour and a half of beating, this action had become a conditioned reflex.
"Have you lost your mind?" Luo Yuan looked at him and said worriedly.
He was worried because a message had just appeared in the system.
"Dark blue level creature 'Herculean Ape' has surrendered to you. Do you want to keep it as a battle beast? Cancel!"
Luo Yuan had not expected to keep a second battle beast. He did not know if it was because he had leveled up or if it could be done in the first place. Other than the giant lizard, he had never tried to tame other mutated beasts, so he could not verify it.
His face lit up. He would not have been interested if it was just a normal mutated beast. After all, a normal dark blue rank creature would not be of much help to him now with his current abilities.
But this creature was different. It was a humanoid creature. Not only was it strong, but it also had high intelligence. It was obviously easier to communicate with than the giant lizard.
It was a better laborer than the giant lizard. Luo Yuan did not need it to fight. At least it would be more convenient with it around.
After he clicked confirm, a new Beast Attribute Panel instantly opened.
"Battle Beast: Herculean Ape"
"Level: Level 0 (Dark blue)"
Attributes:
"Strength: 21"
"Agility: 13"
"Physique: 20"
"Intelligence: 8"
"Sensory Perception: 11"
"Will: 13"
"Experience: 01200"
"Skills: Hammer: 15, Lacerating: 16, Charging: 8, Throwing: 7, Biting: 13, Climbing: 19, Wilderness Survival: 18"
"Natural Abilities: Innate Strength, Tough Skin"
"Status: Elite"
"Loyalty: 65 (Will betray or run away if it is lower than 50. Full Value: 100)"
"Unassigned Attribute Points: 0"
"Unassigned Skill Points: 0"
Luo Yuan was happy. He felt like he had found a treasure. That made sense. If it wasn't powerful, it wouldn't have been so active in the beast horde.
The attributes of the herculean ape were amazing. Perhaps it was on the verge of evolution. It had just been tamed, but its other attributes were higher than the giant lizard's except for its Agility. Especially its Intelligence, which was a shocking eight points. This meant that this battle beast was very smart. Although it was not as smart as a human, which was usually nine to eleven points, it was already very high among the mutated beasts. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was an intelligent creature.
Besides its secondary attributes, its main attributes were not weak either. Its Strength and Physique were both very high, so the attributes were very balanced.
In terms of potential, this herculean ape had obviously surpassed the giant lizard.
If it leveled up a few more times and made up for its only shortcoming, Agility, it would be more powerful than the giant lizard. That was a pleasant surprise.
