Luo Yuan woke up before the sun rose the next day.
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was hard to go from extravagance to frugality. He was used to sleeping on a soft and comfortable bed, but now he was sleeping in a mutated beast's nest. He could not get a good night's sleep due to the roars of the beasts and the croaking of the insects and frogs.
Luo Yuan put on his clothes. They were all synthetic equipment. Even his coat was hastily synthesized with beast fur. It was not very absorbent, so it was completely dry after a night of being in the shade.
He walked out of the cave. It was still dark outside. Fortunately, the place was not flooded due to the rain last night. The thick layer of humus in the forest was like a sponge that perfectly absorbed the heavy rainfall last night.
Only in some low-lying areas could he see puddles.
Luo Yuan noticed that the water in the puddle was as clear as a clear spring. He returned to the crypt and took a towel, a toothbrush and a water bottle. He wanted to get some water to drink and wash his face and rinse his mouth.
He walked to the puddles and squatted down. Just when he was about to get some water, his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
The puddles looked clean from afar, but when he looked closer, he saw that they were full of tiny swimming dots. Some of them were as thin as a thread, while some were shaped like a shuttle.
Since the apocalypse, there had been no clean water sources in the wild. He knew that, but he had been staying in the reconstruction area for too long. He had not returned to the way he used to be when he was migrating.
He frowned and sighed. He put his hand into the puddles and concentrated his Will. Suddenly, the water rippled. At first, the ripples were tight and orderly, but in the blink of an eye, the whole puddles were like a pot of boiling oil. They started to move violently and the water splashed violently.
Surprisingly, the puddles did not turn muddy at all. They were still as clear as before.
Luo Yuan retracted his hand. The dots in the water had disappeared. They had been crushed into powder by his Will. Although his Will was not strong, it was more than enough to kill the parasites in the puddles.
He poured a bottle of water, not caring that the parasite's body had already melted into the water. He picked it up and drank it in one gulp, then filled another bottle. He screwed the cap shut, prepared to use it when he was thirsty, then took out a towel, a toothbrush, and began to wash up.
He had not eaten anything since yesterday morning, but he did not feel hungry either. Luo Yuan hesitated for a while as the sky gradually brightened. He decided to have a good meal during his lunch break.
He went back to pack his luggage and set off again.
…
Four days later, a figure lay on the ground, sneaking glances in front of him from the corner of his eye.
This was a giant beast the size of a small mountain. Its huge body was nearly thirty meters tall, and it gave off an extremely strong sense of oppression.
It looked like a giant frog, but its body was extremely slender. Its entire body was almost twice its height, and its entire body was muscular. As it lay on the ground, its muscles squirmed involuntarily. From afar, it looked like there were countless pythons rolling under its skin. One look and one could tell that this giant beast had terrifying strength.
It did not have the flippers of a normal frog. Instead, it had a pair of bright yellow claws. Its skin had three vertical stripes of primary colors on its back. It was extremely bright, and it seemed to be emitting a faint glow under the mottled light.
Its belly looked ominous, black, and it was covered with fine, shiny scales. What surprised Luo Yuan was that its scales seemed to have a mysterious power, and he felt slightly dizzy and nauseous after looking at them for a long time.
It lay on the ground motionlessly, as if it was taking a nap. Luo Yuan noticed that its black belly was constantly squirming, and it struggled occasionally. It was obvious that it had just eaten.
He did not know whether it was lucky or not. This creature was not deliberately looking for it, but he had encountered it along the way. According to the information from the system, it was obviously a level seven mutated beast.
Ever since he entered the Sichuan region, the number of such high-level mutated beasts had increased exponentially. Since yesterday, he had already encountered three of them, and this was already the fourth.
Luo Yuan had killed two of the three level seven mutated beasts, and although he had severely injured one of them, it had managed to escape. It was not easy for him to kill them, but in fact, it was not without risks.
One of the level seven mutated beasts that he had killed had the ability to release lightning. He had sneaked up on it and cut off half of its head when it was unprepared. However, the lightning that erupted before it died had almost hit it.
If Luo Yuan had not predicted the danger that was coming, he would not have been able to stand there now. A level seven mutated beast was not only scary in terms of its physical strength, but its unpredictable ability was also a real threat.
Luo Yuan looked at it for a while, covered his body with the grass, and started to move forward slowly on his hands and feet.
The giant beast seemed to have inherited the dynamic vision of a frog, and was extremely sensitive to movement. It had sensed movement from five to six hundred meters away. Suddenly, its eyelids opened, and its eyes, which were as big as a washbasin, stared at Luo Yuan coldly.
Luo Yuan quickly stopped moving, and just like the mutated beasts he had encountered before, he looked away after a while.
The human body was too small for a mutated beast of this size. Even if it was hungry, it was unlikely that it would eat a creature of this size. After all, it would not even be enough to fill the gaps between its teeth. Moreover, its belly was bulging, and it was taking a nap while digesting.
Of course, the mutated beasts treated humans differently in different areas. At least in the vicinity of the reconstruction area, there was no such thing. The mutated beasts there had a deep understanding of how scary humans were. If you tried to get close, you would definitely be alerted and attacked.
It was rare to see humans here, and not many of them had experienced how scary humans could be. To this giant beast, Luo Yuan, who was wearing the Green Hidden Man's Horn and had concealed his aura, was just an insignificant insect. At most, he looked a little strange, which made it slightly curious.
After a while, Luo Yuan continued to move forward. This time, the giant beast did not look at him. He had a cold smile on his face, and began to increase his speed. He was like a nimble mouse, shuttling through the grass quickly.
When he was about 50 meters away, the giant beast was almost under its body. Finally, its gaze landed on it again, and Luo Yuan quickly stopped moving.
This time, its gaze stopped for a second before it slowly moved away. It moved a little, and its body slightly adjusted from a natural relaxed movement to a slightly vigilant one. It seemed to feel uneasy.
Luo Yuan calmed himself down and stayed still like a stone. Patience was the most important thing when hunting in the jungle. Although he was about 10 meters away from the beast, he knew very well that if he continued to provoke the beast, it would definitely attack.
After more than 10 minutes, he moved again. This time, his speed was shockingly slow. His body moved almost inch by inch. However, after moving a few meters, Luo Yuan's facial expression suddenly changed. He had foreseen the result of his prediction.
Two seconds of foreseeing was too long in a battle of this level. It was so long that it could determine the outcome of the battle.
Cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He had been too careless. He had never thought that this giant frog-like beast could attack so fast that he could not even react in time.
Before the apocalypse, a normal frog could swallow an insect with the speed of a human's blink of an eye. Its attack speed was even faster than a snake's. However, this giant frog-like beast had the same kind of attack, but its speed was more than 100 times faster. Even with his 16 points of Dexterity, he could only see an afterimage.
If he continued to move forward like this, one second later, the attack would come, and then the screen would turn black. As for after … there was no after.
Thoughts flashed through his mind. He did not know if he should continue to move forward or retreat.
However, the next moment, he decided to move forward. With his foresight ability, it was like having God's vision. He had countless opportunities to load and choose.
He moved slowly, and the foresight in his mind changed according to his current state and mentality. This time, the attack would come in 0.5 seconds. Obviously, the beast's vigilance and suspicion were increasing as time passed. However, after 0.5 seconds, he would be able to avoid the attack and win.
He tried his best not to make the slightest change and continued to move forward at the same speed. As time passed slowly and steadily, when the moment of attack was about to come, he suddenly took a deep breath, and the muscles on his body instantly swelled up. Immediately after, he exerted force with his feet, and the ground suddenly exploded as if it had exploded.
Almost at the same time, the giant beast attacked. It opened its mouth slightly, and a shadow seemed to cross the space and instantly hit Luo Yuan. However, it was only a shadow left by his retina.
In the blink of an eye, a shadow shot into the sky like a cannonball. Luo Yuan's speed was almost at the speed of sound. In mid-air, his curled body was fully extended, and at the same time, he pulled out his Zhanmadao with his right hand.
Facing the unusually thick air, Luo Yuan's hair danced wildly.
The distance between the two of them was close to 40 meters. At this subsonic speed, the giant frog was almost instantaneous. The giant frog that had just launched its attack was just taking precautions. It didn't expect such a drastic change at all. It only had time to tighten its muscles subconsciously, and the fatal attack had already arrived in an instant.
A terrifying spatial fluctuation silently streaked across the air, cutting down from its wide mouth to its foreleg. Before it could even feel the pain, that tiny creature had already crashed heavily into its body.
It was too big, and the injury was not fatal. However, it felt the threat of death. The intense pain and uneasiness made it furious.
There was a tremor in its stomach, and a terrifying sound wave came from its mouth.
"Roar!"
At that moment, the air seemed to have turned into water, and there were actually visible ripples.
Regardless of whether it was the tall trees or the sturdy rocks, they were crushed into powder in the blink of an eye, as if they were made of flour. Even a mountain peak not far away had a hundred-meter-wide hole dug into it. The area that was hundreds of meters long immediately became transparent. For a moment, the air in front of them surged, and dust flew everywhere.
However, the next moment, the terrifying sound wave suddenly stopped, and a six to seven meters long line of blood slowly seeped out from the back of the giant beast's head. Gradually, more and more blood flowed out, like a fountain. Soon, the wound could not withstand the effect of gravity, and it gradually split open.
Its head drooped down, revealing its brain that was cut in half.
Luo Yuan, who had just flipped over the giant beast's body and jumped on its head to make the last attack, was now kneeling on the giant beast's head in pain. Although he did not directly face the terrifying sound wave, he was close to it, and it still affected him greatly. He felt that his internal organs were about to be crushed, and his bones were numb.
He was in so much pain that his face turned green. After a while, he slowly came back to his senses.
At this time, the giant beast was still twitching non-stop. The nearby terrain had been trampled by its huge feet beyond recognition. In its current state, it did not dare to jump down. It could only hold on tightly to a few protruding bones on its head and obediently stay on top.
After waiting for a full half an hour, the movement under his body gradually calmed down. Hearing the system notification in his mind, he waited for a few more minutes, and then jumped down. He almost fell to the ground.
