Luo Yuan left at three in the morning and headed southeast. He would pass through Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, Guizhou, and finally Guangxi, crossing the vast ocean and landing in Boruo State.
It was a long journey for everyone.
Three hours later, the sky was getting brighter. Luo Yuan wiped his face that was wet from the dew. At the same time, he pinched a bug that had been biting his face for a long time and flicked it away with his fingers.
The bug hit the tree trunk like a bullet and exploded into a pile of meat paste.
It was early in the morning, and there was a lot of moisture in the forest. The dew that had accumulated throughout the night was falling along the leaves. It felt like it was raining as he walked through the forest. His clothes were completely soaked, and it felt like they were sticking to his body, which made Luo Yuan extremely uncomfortable.
He was panting slightly. After three hours of continuous travel, even he felt a little tired.
He stopped to rest for a while. He saw a rock that was covered in moss and weeds. He went forward and cut off half of the rock. The cut surface was smooth and clean.
Luo Yuan sat down and looked at the time. He was in a daze after scaring away all the insects and ants with his aura.
Huang Jiahui, Zhao Yali, and Wang Shishi should have woken up by now. Perhaps they had already realized that he had left.
He hesitated for a while and focused his Will. A wireless communication wave was formed with his thoughts.
"I've already left … I'm on my way … Everything is fine … Alright, get her to the phone!"
The radio wave kept transmitting back and forth. Neither Luo Yuan nor the girls made any sound. Only the coded radio waves were faithfully transmitting the message.
"Alright, don't cry … Don't worry … Someone will come to pick me up later. I'm hanging up now!"
Luo Yuan sat quietly and cut off the radio wave. He got up and flew out of the forest. He flew high up into the sky. The city that was shrouded in fog was still faintly visible.
He looked at it for a long time before slowly descending.
He rested for another half an hour before resuming his journey.
He rested for a while every few hours. When it was almost evening, the sky suddenly thundered and soon there was a thunderstorm. It was raining heavily and lightning flashed.
Luo Yuan had planned to travel through the night, but he had to stop due to the weather.
It was extremely dangerous to be in the forest during a thunderstorm. The tall trees were natural lightning detectors. There was a risk of being struck by lightning at any time. Luo Yuan looked around. The terrain was flat. It had been a plain before the apocalypse, so there were no ready-made caves to hide in.
Luo Yuan's Sensory Perception detected a few caves hidden under the bushes. He chose a cave with a slightly higher elevation and moved the bushes away.
He didn't care if there were mutated creatures inside, so he walked down the tunnel.
The tunnel was not high, only about 1.5 meters. He had to bend his body to move forward. After walking through a soft humus layer composed of rotten leaves, the tunnel became smooth. The walls of the tunnel seemed to have been compressed by a huge force. It was hard and firm, and it was difficult for it to collapse.
Luo Yuan was disappointed that there were no living creatures inside. Judging from the smell that had almost dissipated, it had been a long time since any mutated beasts had lived here. Perhaps they were dead or had migrated somewhere else.
In nature, only the fittest survived, and the strong preyed on the weak. Death happened at every moment, and it couldn't be more normal.
It was a pity that he had missed his dinner.
Luo Yuan walked along the winding tunnel for another 20 to 30 meters before he reached the bottom of the cave. Luo Yuan was slightly happy to find that it was bigger than the other areas. At least he could finally stand up straight.
Although the mutated beasts had left, they had left something behind.
It was a nest made of a lot of dead branches and grass. Luo Yuan pressed on it, and it was very soft. The area was still too small for a tent, but with such a nest, he would be able to sleep at night.
Of course, with his strong physique, he would not be able to withstand the cold even if he slept in the snow. However, who would want to sleep on a wet and hard muddy ground if there was a comfortable place to sleep?
What made him especially satisfied was that this place was very clean. Apart from this nest, there was not a single piece of leftover bones emitting a stench, and there were no other disgusting things.
Obviously, the original owner of this place was either a herbivore or a cautious person. He had never brought food back to the cave because of the smell of blood. However, this also meant that it was not strong.
…
The rain outside was getting heavier, as if the sky was falling. Even in the cave, rainwater began to seep into the cave. Luo Yuan looked at it and ignored it. Normally, this kind of thunderstorm would not last long.
He took out the map from his backpack and started to study it. The map was not a regular map but a very high-definition satellite map. However, the truth was that the civilization had fallen, and the cities had disappeared. Be it the farmland or the desert, they had all been covered by plants. Even the administrative map of the entire country would be useless.
The entire satellite map was two meters in length and width. It was made of a thick special paper that was waterproof, fireproof, and extremely tough. Even if an ordinary person tried to tear it with all their might, they wouldn't be able to tear it.
The dim light of the evening in the forest shone through the shrubs and was absorbed by the winding cave. When he reached the bottom of the cave, it was so dark that he could not even see his own fingers.
In such a dim environment, Luo Yuan's pupils had shrunk to the size of a small dot. The color of his pupils was like a black hole. Even the weakest light was absorbed into his pupils, so he could still see in such a dark environment.
"It seems that we have reached the Qinghai region. With this speed, we should be able to reach Guangxi in 10 days." Luo Yuan thought to himself.
If he ran at full speed, he would not even need three days.
However, a short journey near the reconstruction area was completely different from a long journey in the wild. The former was relatively safe, and he did not need to be stingy with his energy. He could run at full speed, but the latter was dangerous in the wild. He had to save most of his energy at all times to avoid danger. That was why Luo Yuan had to stop every two to three hours to recover his energy.
Coupled with the complexity of the terrain and the need to be vigilant at all times, he could maintain a speed of 70 to 80 meters per second.
…
He carefully put the satellite map into his backpack and laid on the grass.
Listening to the sound of the rain and the occasional thunder, he felt a sense of loneliness. He realized that he missed the city even though he had only been away for 10 hours.
He missed the city and the people there.
Wandering alone in the forest, eating and sleeping in the open, with no one to talk to, no one to talk to. Other than the dangerous mutated beasts, he could not even see a single person. There was no trace of human existence. It was an indescribable loneliness, as if he was the only person left in the world.
After lying down for a while, Luo Yuan sat up again. He felt that the humidity was getting heavier. He got up and walked a few steps into the hole. He touched the mud and realized that it was wet.
"What bad luck!" Luo Yuan cursed. The terrain was too flat, and the hole was only 20 centimeters higher than the other areas. He should have gone further to look for it.
He bent his body and walked out of the cave. The pouring rain immediately soaked him. The heavy rain gathered through the layers of leaves and was like a water column, pouring down on his head. He wiped the water off his face and looked left and right. He found that there was no suitable boulder to block the entrance of the cave.
Fortunately, the trees there were not small. They were about two meters in diameter.
He took out his Zhanmadao and walked towards the nearest tree.
His originally platinum Zhanmadao was now black, emitting layers of halo. It exuded a very mysterious color. When the rain splashed on the blade, it did not stick to it at all. It immediately splashed off, dry as if it had not touched the water at all.
"Space Cutting Zhanmadao"
"Material: 165cm Alloy; Clawed Turtle Nail"
"Rarity: Light Purple"
"Weight: 31kg"
"Attack Power:?????" "
"Requirement: 16 Strength points
"Additional Effect 1: Attack Speed + 4"
"Additional Effect 2: Cutting (Passive) Extremely sharp, can easily cut through any material, even atoms will be cut in half. (High Effect)"
"Remarks: This is a Zhanmadao that can affect the subtle power of space. It is very sharp, and even its owner should not touch it."
...
The Zhanmadao that had been fused with the level eight black knife was already light purple (level eight) equipment. If it had been a normal level eight material, he would not have cared.
After all, the original Zhanmadao was already strong enough, and the Phantom Horse's horn had an invisible sharpness that complemented his Will, greatly extending the attack range. The attributes of the black knife were too shocking. Even Luo Yuan almost lost his composure when he saw it.
Compared to the original Zhanmadao's three additional effects, this one only had two left. Even if there was only one effect left, it was enough to be called a Divine Weapon.
This kind of cutting was not a normal cutting, but a cutting of space. The ripple-like halo on the body of the knife was the visual refraction caused by the disturbance of space.
This kind of cutting was not only more terrifying than the invisible sharpness, but it could also extend along the edge of the knife, forming an attack range of nearly 4.5 meters. He had tried it a few times, and within this range, almost nothing could stop it.
However, everything in the world had its own counter, so this kind of cutting ability was naturally not invincible.
Based on what Luo Yuan knew, there were two ways to resist the cutting of space. For example, gravity. Gravity could distort space, but it could also smooth out the fluctuations of space.
Another example was his Will. He realized that he could slightly resist it. In fact, to his Will, there was not much difference whether it was a normal cutting or a cutting of space. No matter what kind of attack it was, it seemed to be able to resist it. As a force that could affect reality, it seemed to have a priority over everything else.
No matter what, the current Zhanmadao was still terrifyingly powerful. Not to mention the force that was as hard to detect as gravity, at least on the physical level, nothing could stop it from cutting.
...
Luo Yuan went forward and cut the tree in half, then he immediately retreated.
A few seconds later, the huge tree, which was rarely seen before the apocalypse, suddenly collapsed, and finally hit the branch of a nearby tree. It stopped and hung on the side at a 60-degree angle.
Luo Yuan stepped forward and cut off a meter of it. Before it could turn over, he immediately held it upright and pushed it like a tire. Then, he used his Zhanmadao to dig from the side of the bark all the way to the center of the tree, forming a slanted hole. Finally, he flipped it over and pressed it against the hole.
Luo Yuan compacted the trunk of the tree and blocked the edges with mud to prevent leakage.
The new hole was on the side of the bark, so it would not be affected by the rain. At the same time, the hole was more than 60 centimeters above the ground, so no matter how heavy the rain was, the hole should not be affected in a short period of time.
Luo Yuan looked at it and finally relaxed. He shook the rain off his head and went back into the hole.
