The reason why humans could see was because the reflected light from objects entered the retina and transmitted signals to the brain through the dense nerves on the retina. Therefore, a simple gaze would not be able to transmit power. However, if emotions were involved, it would be different, as it involved Will.
He had clearly felt the hostility just now, which was why he had subconsciously turned his head.
"I didn't expect there to be wanderers here!" Luo Yuan thought to himself as he looked at the small dots in the distance. He then looked away.
He was used to such hostility in the wild, so he did not mind it at all. Those wanderers were extremely cautious and guarded against any intruders. It had become their instinct.
He walked forward quickly, feeling a little anxious. He could already vaguely feel the aura of the giant lizard and the king kong.
However, the aura seemed to have changed. It seemed to be more oppressive and obscure, which made him feel a little uncertain.
After walking for about a few kilometers, a valley appeared in front of him. Compared to the sunny Gobi Desert outside with sparse plants, it was like a different world. The valley was full of plants, and the light was dim. There was a small stream at the bottom of the valley, which was about two meters wide. It was flowing, and the air was moist.
There were all kinds of exotic plants, strange trees, and old vines. It was hard to imagine that it was near the Reconstruction Area, which was a plant desert.
When he reached there, the traces of the giant lizard and the king kong were very obvious. There were all kinds of giant footprints on the ground, but the giant lizard's footprints seemed to be bigger.
Luo Yuan stopped and looked at the giant footprint, which was almost a meter in diameter. He was a little surprised.
In the past, although the footprints of the giant lizard were also big, they were not as big as this. At most, it was half a meter. This already looked very amazing. It was not inferior to the stone pillars in some hotel lobbies. As for the one-meter footprint, perhaps even in the Cretaceous period, there were not many dinosaurs that could compare to it.
His expression changed. The only explanation was that the giant lizard had evolved.
He suddenly patted his head. It was easy to check on the Giant Iguana's situation. With a thought, he opened the Attribute Menu. During this period of time, he had been living a peaceful life, far away from the war, and had not paid much attention to the Giant Iguana's situation. It was only when he needed it that he remembered.
As expected …

He didn't expect that after not seeing it for a while, the Giant Lizard would advance to the light green level. Even its name had changed.
Luo Yuan frowned. He did not know whether he should be surprised or happy. The giant lizard's Strength, Physique, and Sensory Perception had all increased by one point. What was more shocking was its Intelligence, which had increased by three points.
Was this the evolution trend of mutated beasts? They were getting stronger and smarter. Luo Yuan suddenly realized that he could no longer describe those high-level mutated beasts as wild beasts.
Judging from the shape of the Giant Lizard, the original form of the Giant Lizard was just a lizard. According to the theory of evolution, it was just a low-level reptile. In terms of intelligence, not to mention primates, including humans, it had completely crushed all mammals.
However, such a low-level creature had increased its Intelligence to seven points when it had advanced to the light green level, which was comparable to a three-year-old child. The changes of higher level mammals would be even more shocking.
Suddenly, the ground started to shake, and a loud roar like a steam whistle came from afar. The air was resonating.
"It's coming!"
An aura that Luo Yuan was familiar with was approaching Luo Yuan quickly.
The valley was suddenly in chaos, and the bushes and trees were shaking violently. Countless mutated beasts were running away as if they were facing an imminent disaster.
Accompanied by the sound of trees collapsing, a three to four meter wide path was forcibly opened up in the dense forest. Then, a huge ferocious beast suddenly appeared.
This was an astonishingly large lizard. Its entire body was covered in green scales that emitted a glossy and lustrous luster, as if it was covered in a layer of emerald green gemstones. There was almost no flesh on its huge head. Other than a layer of dark gray skin, it was completely composed of exoskeletons, looking ferocious and terrifying.
It was a giant lizard about 10 meters tall and 15 meters long. If a human were to stand in front of it, even if they raised their hands, they would not be able to reach its knees.
However, that hill-like body did not seem to be bloated or burdensome at all. It was like a meticulously carved work of art. Even that hideous head had a peculiar sense of beauty that was unforgettable after seeing it.
When the giant lizard saw Luo Yuan, its expression changed and it suddenly sped up. A strong gust of wind and an oppressive aura hit Luo Yuan. It weighed more than 10 tons, and every step it took caused the ground to shake violently. Even the stream beside them was shaking violently.
If an ordinary person encountered such a situation, they would have been frightened to the point that they could not move. Being able to turn around and run away was already a testament to their strong willpower. However, Luo Yuan had experienced such situations many times, so he was somewhat immune to it.
However, it was different this time. He felt a huge pressure that he had never felt before from the Giant Lizard. He subconsciously grabbed the hilt of his sword and exerted strength in his body. He was prepared for the worst. Then, he quickly checked his loyalty in his mind.
He was relieved.
"Loyalty: 72."
"Luckily, it's still within the safety line!"
Just as he was thinking about it, the giant lizard stopped about four to five meters away from him. It did not make any unnecessary movements, and it showed a lightness that did not match its size. Luo Yuan was surprised, as this performance was beyond his imagination.
He was secretly on guard, and then he saw a head that was almost the size of a small round table lowering itself and rubbing against his chest intimately, making a joyful sound from its mouth.
Luo Yuan finally relaxed completely. He felt a slight chill on his back, and he unknowingly broke out in cold sweat. He had to admit that the evolution of the giant lizard had given him a huge amount of pressure. To some extent, it was no longer below the green level.
This was because the giant lizard's attributes could completely suppress Luo Yuan's.
The reason why Luo Yuan was so strong was because of his terrifying knife skills, amazing willpower, and strong body. In his heart, the biggest reason was Agility.
This was a very unique attribute, and every time it was upgraded, it left a deep impression on him. It could be said that in Luo Yuan's heart, almost all the attribute upgrades were to better utilize the Agility attribute.
This was because it seemed to allow people to enter the dimension of time.
One second for others was equivalent to seven seconds for him. Five seconds. The world in his eyes had slowed down. Of course, it was not the world that had slowed down, but he had entered a different dimension of time.
For humans, one second was meaningless. Humans might have just had a thought, but it had not formed. However, for some bacteria, one second was their entire life, from division, predation, growth, maturation, and reproduction.
If a bacterium could think, that second would be the beginning of a colorful life for it.
This was the true portrayal of a different dimension of time.
However, the giant lizard's Agility was stronger than Luo Yuan's. It had reached an astonishing 16 points. If it had been in the past, Luo Yuan would have been able to suppress it. After all, although the giant lizard's Agility was one point higher than Luo Yuan's, it could not use its Intelligence to its full potential.
With 16 points of Dexterity, it could only use 13 points at most. If it was a straight line, it would be fine. It could still charge around, but if it was a small distance, it would not be able to react. With its poor brain capacity, it would not be able to react at all.
Due to its Intelligence, it did not seem to be particularly strong. It seemed to be no different from ordinary mutated beasts. It was a far cry from Luo Yuan's shocking performance of killing a green level giant beast with only 15 points of Agility.
But now, with the leap in its Intelligence, it was as if it had a new processor. Its weakest shortcoming had been made up, and its strength had suddenly skyrocketed. Even Luo Yuan could not imagine how strong it had become, but at least it was already invincible against light green level mutated beasts.
… …
King Kong followed closely behind. The two giant beasts seemed to be resting together, but King Kong seemed to be completely suppressed by the giant lizard. It hid in a corner, not daring to go near the giant lizard. It just looked at Luo Yuan with a pitiful look.
Luo Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. After not seeing it for more than 20 days, King Kong's Loyalty had skyrocketed. It had surpassed the giant lizard and reached 82 points.
It seemed that King Kong had been abused by the giant lizard during this period.
Luo Yuan communicated with the giant lizard for a while to get rid of the feeling of alienation. He was a pragmatist. Since the value of the giant lizard had greatly increased, he could not treat it with the same indifferent attitude as before. Being gentle was a necessary measure.
He stayed in the valley for a few hours and followed the giant lizard to "inspect" its territory. He could feel that the giant lizard seemed to be very excited during this period. It was like a child who could not wait to show off to its parents after achieving something.
He thought of something and praised it. Sure enough, the giant lizard's Loyalty immediately increased by two points.
The Giant Lizard did not understand the human language, but after a long period of blood and tears, other than some specific orders, it had also developed its own understanding of the changes in its master's mood. Under the pressure, it had learned how to read people's thoughts and expressions. In its eyes, if its owner's mouth twitched and his face wrinkled, it meant that it was doing the right thing. If there was no expression, or even if the shape of its face turned black, it meant that it was doing the wrong thing. At this time, the best thing it could do was to lie on the ground and let out a whimper.
When the sky was getting dark, Luo Yuan turned around and left in front of the giant lizard's reluctant and King Kong's pitiful eyes.
… …
Luo Yuan rushed all the way. When he reached Desert City, it was already past 11 o 'clock.
Although the city gate was closed, the guards of Desert City had already recognized Luo Yuan. They had made a special record before he went out. When they saw Luo Yuan, they reported the situation to their superiors and opened the city gate.
Most of the time, Desert City was empty. There were not many people in the city. It almost felt like an empty city. There were only two times when a city was bustling.
One time was before 8 o 'clock in the morning, and the other time was now.
At this time, it was rush hour, and the streets were crowded with people. Workers in work clothes were everywhere.
Some hawkers also took advantage of this rare time to set up various stalls on both sides of the street. They were doing some small business to improve their lives. Most of them were wearing work clothes. Apparently, they were also workers who had just gotten off work. There were not many things on the stalls. Other than a variety of meat, vegetables, snacks, there were also some homemade daily necessities.
The materials were all local. Most of them were wood, but there were also some bones and fur.
For example, there were all kinds of small bags sewn from real leather, daggers made from the claws of mutated beasts, homemade stools, wooden buckets, bowls, chopsticks, and other daily necessities. There were so many of them that it was dazzling.
The sounds of hawking, bargaining, and arguments lingered on without end, causing the entire street to be extremely clamorous.
It made people feel like they were not in the apocalypse, but in a noisy farmer's market.
"30 dollars of food stamps? That's too expensive. It's daylight robbery. I wouldn't even want this feather if it wasn't beautiful," a voice came into Luo Yuan's ears.
"It's up to you whether you want to buy it or not. It's worth this price. This is my spoils of war from the battlefield. An entire battalion died, and only a few feathers fell. I won't sell it even if it's missing a piece." A gloomy voice said.
"Oh, you're a soldier who retired because of injury. I was rude just now, but it's not worth this price. This feather can only be used as a decoration. If you sell it to a fur recycling station, I'll give you 10 cents at most. Five dollars is the most sincere price I can offer. I believe no one can offer a higher price than me. "The person who spoke suddenly became more polite when he heard that the other party was a disabled soldier.
"30 dollars. I risked my life for it. I won't sell it for less," the seller said emotionlessly.
Luo Yuan could not help but feel curious, so he walked over.
The seller was a burly middle-aged man. His left leg was gone and had been replaced by a prosthetic. He was expressionless and pursed his lips. He was obviously a stubborn man. Once he opened his mouth, he refused to budge and let the seller talk.
He looked away and looked at the feather on the stall.
He was slightly surprised when he looked at it. The feather was about two meters long, almost three meters. He had seen feathers that were longer than this, but those were tail feathers or blade feathers (wing feathers). This feather looked just like an ordinary feather. It could be the abdomen or the back. Most of these feathers were relatively short. Compared to the blade feathers, there was a difference of three or four times.
He could imagine that the owner of this feather was much more than a giant creature.
Apart from the hard black tube in the middle as a support, the feathers were light green in color and looked very pure. Under the dim street light, they emitted a lustrous radiance. If one's eyes were sharp, they could even see the faint radiance circulating around them. One look and one could tell that it was extraordinary. If it had been before the apocalypse, this feather would have been worth an exorbitant price. Although there were many people looking at it now, not many people were interested.
The buyer was unwilling to give up, so he tried to bargain a few more times. His lips were torn, but the other party refused to budge. In the end, he had no choice but to give up.
He loved this feather so much that he was infatuated with it. This kind of feather was definitely left behind by a high-level mutated beast. It was really too rare, but the price the other party asked for was too high. It was not worth it at all. 30 dollars worth of food stamps could feed an adult for a month. Even for a senior technician like him, it was a huge sum of money.
"Can I have a look?" Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a voice suddenly came to his ear. He suddenly stopped.
"Feel free!" the retired soldier said.
Luo Yuan picked up the feather and quietly used his identification technique on it. His eyes lit up.
The buyer's face changed when he saw Luo Yuan pick up the feather so easily. It was as if it was weightless. Others might not know, but he had mentioned it once just now. Although he had picked it up, he had used all his strength. The feather weighed at least 50 kilograms.
"How much?" Luo Yuan put it down gently and asked calmly.
"30 dollars!"
"I'll take it, but I don't have any money with me. You'll have to come to my house to get it," Luo Yuan said. There were not many places to spend money, so he did not bring much with him.
The retired soldier looked at Luo Yuan hesitantly. If it had been an ordinary person, he would have said yes. As a veteran who had fought with death, his strength and courage were not bad. Even if he was crippled, an ordinary person would not be able to defeat him. However, the other party was obviously not an ordinary person. The fact that he had picked up the feather so easily showed that he was very strong.
However, the laws of the apocalypse were strict, so there were not many malicious incidents. He was not worried. After a moment of silence, he nodded.
"Wait, wait! Pardon me for asking, but what are you buying this feather for? " The previous buyer asked unwillingly when he saw that his favorite item had been bought at a high price.
"Decoration. Don't you think it's beautiful?" Luo Yuan said.
The previous buyer nodded subconsciously. When he came back to his senses, the two of them had already walked far away. The only thing left was the feather's fluorescent light. As Luo Yuan waved his arm, a beautiful mist streaked across the air. He could not help but feel a little lost.
......
After paying, Luo Yuan moved the feather to the bedroom quietly. The lights were not turned on, so it was completely dark.
The faint light from the feather was the only source of light.
Luo Yuan realized that it was not reflected light, but real light. Only Luo Yuan knew that it was a phenomenon caused by some kind of natural power.
Such a treasure could not be used for decoration. It would be such a waste. Such a precious material could only be found by chance. With this high-level material, the clothes he was wearing could finally be upgraded.
