After Luo Yuan left the area, he did not even have time to take his backpack that he had left nearby. He only stopped after running for more than 10 kilometers.
He chose a tree hole nearby and immediately went into it.
Apparently, the tree hole had an owner. A low-level mutated beast that was curled up and taking a nap in the tree hole was stunned when it saw the unexpected guest.
Just when it wanted to warn him, Luo Yuan glared at it and released his aura. It immediately whimpered and fell to the ground.
Luo Yuan grabbed its neck and threw the half-ton mutated beast out of the tree hole.
It was rare for him to be in a good mood today, so he did not want to see blood. Of course, the main reason was that he did not want to stain the tree hole with blood.
He sat in the tree hole for more than 10 seconds. His rapid breathing gradually calmed down, but his heart was still beating fast.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He lifted his undershirt and untied the Demonic Horseman's mane that was tied to his body.
Without the shielding of the plasma undershirt, the air in the tree hole suddenly changed. Whirlpools appeared everywhere, and all kinds of small cyclones were formed out of thin air. The small tree hole seemed to have become an air vent, and the air was turbulent.
Compared to before, the color of the mane had dimmed a lot. It was no longer as dazzling as before and had mostly returned to its original black color. The intensity of the phenomenon was also far from being comparable to that of the Demonic Horseman.
He had expected this. After all, compared to the number of manes that the Demonic Horseman had, it was like a drop in the bucket. Moreover, after being separated from the body, it had become a rootless tree and water without a source. Without the energy support of the body, its ability was naturally greatly reduced.
Fortunately, its ability did not completely disappear. It was still there. Compared to the Demonic Horseman's pitiful body size, this strength was probably enough.
He looked excited. Although he could not wait, he still had to calm down and do some treatment on the mane to remove the hidden danger before the synthesis.
Level eight materials were different from normal materials. This kind of material had a strong imprint of Will. Just like the Zhanmadao to Luo Yuan, the Demonic Horseman had the same reaction to the mane, but the difference was different.
Regardless of whether it was to eliminate the possible hidden dangers or to better control the equipment, erasing the original owner's spiritual imprint and marking it with his own mark were all necessary steps.
Fortunately, these manes were insignificant to the Demonic Horseman, and the amount of will imprints was pitiful. Not only could it not be compared to the Level Eight Energy Crystal Core, it was also far inferior to the black blade. Every remaining will imprint was almost negligible, and often when the will was projected, the imprint would be quickly expelled.
This greatly increased Luo Yuan's efficiency. In less than 10 minutes, all the manes were processed and imprinted with his Will. He heaved a sigh of relief. Now, even if the Demonic Horseman was in front of him, it would not be able to sense him.
Of course, these imprints were still very weak, like sparks that could be extinguished at any time. If he wanted to become as handy as the Zhanmadao, to become an extension of his bloodline, this was not something that could be accomplished in a day. He had to constantly polish and strengthen it with his willpower day after day.
He took off his jacket and trousers and began to synthesize!
He was already familiar with this kind of work. As the manes turned into powder, the camouflage combat uniform gradually turned black, and an invisible wave was generated in the uniform.
When he finished synthesizing the uniform, there was still one-fifth of the manes left. Luo Yuan looked at the soft-soled running shoes on his feet. This pair of shoes was synthesized from the skin under the feet of a level seven mutated beast a few days ago. It only had one ability, "Walk Silently".
He hesitated for a while, and then decided to forget about it.
"Walk Silently" was quite useful in a battle, and it would be a waste to remove this ability. Moreover, the manes would not be wasted, and could at least be used as a belt.
"Air Vortex Combat Uniform."
"Material: Demonic Horseman's mane, nylon."
"Rarity: Light Purple."
"Weight: 0.4 catties."
"Defense: 38-45"
"Additional Abilities: Speed + 6, Vortex Deflection Field."
"Equipment Requirements: None"
"Evaluation: This is a combat suit that deflects and distributes air resistance. When you run, you won't feel any air resistance. Moreover, the material is as high as level 8, so this combat suit is extremely sturdy and will never wear out."
...
Air Vortex Combat Trousers. "
"Material: Demonic Horseman's mane, nylon."
"Rarity: Light Purple."
"Weight: 0.3 catties."
"Defense: 35-42"
"Additional Abilities: Speed + 6, Vortex Deflection Field."
"Equipment Requirements: None"
"Evaluation: This is a pair of combat pants that can deflect and split air resistance. When you run, you won't feel any air resistance. Furthermore, the material is as high as level 8, making this combat pants extremely sturdy and durable."
The system's appraisal information flashed through his mind.
After the synthesis, the entire combat uniform was a lot lighter. The fibers were thinner and denser, and the pure black luster gave off a blurred halo under the light. Fortunately, the halo was very weak, and ordinary people could not see it with their naked eyes. At most, it gave people a sense of mystery.
Luo Yuan put on the combat uniform, tied the remaining manes around his waist, and walked out of the tree hole to start experimenting.
At first, he walked like an ordinary person. At this speed, it was almost no different from before the synthesis. He could still feel the air blowing gently on his cheeks, and the vortex and turbulence around him did not seem to have any effect.
However, as he gradually increased his speed, the effect suddenly became apparent. The strong wind that should have appeared was deviated by the surrounding turbulence, and at the same time, a large amount of air that had accumulated in front of him was also diverted away by the vortex.
He ran faster and faster, as if driven by the wind pressure, the surrounding turbulence became more turbulent, and there were more and more vortexes. No matter how fast he ran, he could only feel the breeze.
Luo Yuan slowly stopped and looked surprised. After the training in New Capital City, his vision was not low anymore. Looking at the changes in the turbulence around him, he found that the mane of the Demonic Horseman seemed to have an extremely delicate and complicated wind pressure balancing system. The mane was only the trigger of the turbulence, and its power was not that great. The wind pressure was the real driving force for them to operate.
If he could crack the working principle of this system and apply it to the fighter jet, the sky would no longer belong to the mutated birds.
However, it was easier said than done. The development of science and technology had to be done step by step, and it could not be done overnight. The reconstruction area had killed many level eight beasts, and if it was so easy to crack their ability, the reconstruction area would not be in such a mess now.
...
Luo Yuan did not immediately return to the original place to look for his backpack. To be honest, he was still a little scared of the Demonic Horseman.
He spent the night in the tree hole and carefully returned to the original place the next morning.
The Demonic Horseman had left, and the tree was completely destroyed. The entire giant tree was lying on the ground, broken, and the leaves on it were all eaten. Luo Yuan was relieved, but when he wanted to look for his backpack, he found that it was gone.
Luo Yuan frowned and cursed in his heart.
There was nothing else in the backpack, but the most important thing was the satellite map. Without the satellite map, he would not be able to find his destination with his own sense of direction.
Although he was anxious, he did not search around like a headless fly.
He still remembered the smell of the backpack. He sniffed the air a few times and immediately found a familiar smell. Only one night had passed, but the smell was still very clear. He followed the smell and began to track it.
He walked further and further, and soon he climbed over a hill. He estimated that he had walked for about 10 kilometers.
Luo Yuan did not find any pieces of the backpack along the way, which was undoubtedly good news. It meant that the mutated beasts had not bitten them along the way, and the possibility of the map being intact was very high.
He continued to walk for a few more minutes, and gradually, he felt the smell getting stronger. Finally, he stopped under a big tree and suddenly raised his head.
Luo Yuan was surprised to find that he was hanging on a tree branch, but strangely, there were no mutated beasts around, and there were no nests of other creatures nearby.
Luo Yuan guessed that the mutated beast had lost interest in the backpack, so it had just thrown it away.
He immediately jumped up and took the backpack down.
He opened it and saw that everything was still there, but it looked a little messy, as if someone had rummaged through it.
As he was puzzled, he suddenly felt someone peeping at him from behind. He quickly looked back and saw a shadow flashing by about 100 meters away. The tree branch was shaking slightly, but that distance was beyond his range of perception. Just as he was about to go over to take a look, a medium-sized mutated worm suddenly jumped out from the leaves and landed on a branch about 10 meters away.
Luo Yuan looked away, but he was still puzzled.
He had an amazing memory, so he could remember the specific location of every item in the backpack. When it had been dragged here, the backpack might have tumbled over and caused some confusion, but it was definitely not the same as the tent at the bottom of the tent. When it was tumbled to the top, the map would not have been folded and stained. It must have been rummaged through by some creature and then zipped up.
He carefully checked the surface of the backpack, but there were no bite marks.
This meant that this mutated beast had a pair of agile claws or hands, and had a certain level of intelligence. Luo Yuan speculated that it should not be big, about the size of a human. Otherwise, it would not have been able to rummage through the backpack.
Other than a small primate mutated beast, it was most likely an intelligent species that could drag the backpack away.
Joy flashed across his face. Just then, the peeping gaze appeared again, still in the same direction, but slightly off.
His expression turned cold, and his body swayed. Countless cyclones formed nearby, and he instantly streaked across the sky, covering a distance of over a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
With a flash of his knife, a tree branch was cut off by the fluctuation of space. At the same time, a blue figure fell along with the tree branch, letting out an unknown scream.
This was a humanoid creature between one meter and seventy centimeters tall. Under the black hair was a pretty face with distinct facial features. If one ignored the vertical pupils like a snake, as well as the body covered in dark blue scales except for the exposed chest and abdomen, this peeping creature was practically no different from a human.
Luo Yuan only took a glance at it, but he was shocked and stopped his follow-up attack.
Before the woman landed on the ground, she nimbly flipped her body and used her four limbs to grab onto the ground. After landing, she quickly retreated a few steps. Her vertical pupils looked at Luo Yuan vigilantly, and her mouth let out a warning hiss.
As she squatted down, a slender white gold necklace was revealed from her shoulder-length black hair. The delicate heart-shaped pendant kept swaying between her snow-white breasts.
This necklace proved her identity. Without a doubt, she was a mutated human.
Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat. The mutation had allowed her to survive in this terrible environment, but at the same time, she had also lost her human identity. He was not sure if it was a blessing or a curse.
Luo Yuan sighed, put his knife back into its sheath, turned around and walked back. He took his backpack by the roadside and carried it on his back. After a few steps, he turned around and stopped.
The mutated human had been following Luo Yuan stealthily. He was not sure if she was curious about Luo Yuan or if she still held a grudge against him. When she saw Luo Yuan stop, she immediately hid in the bushes.
Luo Yuan shook his head helplessly and began to speed up.
In the end, he found that this mutated human was not slow at all. Perhaps she was used to living in the forest, so her movements were quite agile. From time to time, she grabbed the hanging vines and quickly shuttled through the forest. She followed closely behind him, just like an ape!
Luo Yuan had no choice but to let her follow him, hoping that she would stop when she was tired.
Unfortunately, the mutated human was still following him until noon.
...
He cut off its head, skinned it, and removed its internal organs.
After a simple treatment of the prey, Luo Yuan used a wooden stick to pierce through the middle of the prey and put it on the fire to barbecue. Not long after, the yellow oil gradually seeped out, and the air was filled with a tempting aroma.
Luo Yuan looked helplessly at a place not far away. The mutated human seemed to be determined to follow him.
A mutated beast's chest had been cut open by her sharp claws, and she was grabbing its internal organs, tearing them apart.
Suddenly, she seemed to smell the aroma, and subconsciously stopped what she was doing. A trace of blood dripped from the corner of her mouth. The aroma of the cooked food must have triggered her memory of being a human. Her throat moved, and she seemed to be in a trance.
Luo Yuan pretended not to see it. When the meat was half done, he stepped on the fire and tore off one of the hind legs. He did not care about the heat and started to eat.
It was fine at first, but soon, he felt a little uncomfortable. The gaze on his back was too hot, and his sensitive ears could clearly hear the sound of her swallowing saliva.
Luo Yuan ate a few mouthfuls and stopped. He turned around and said, "Why don't you eat some too?"
People were judged by their looks. The mutated human's scales and vertical pupils were terrifying, but she had a beautiful face and an enchanting body. If she grew up to be fierce, Luo Yuan would not have been nice to her, even if he did not kill her on the spot.
Seeing that Luo Yuan was looking at her, the mutated human immediately put on a vigilant posture and hissed.
The mutation had destroyed her vocal organs, so no one could understand what she was saying except for herself.
Luo Yuan smiled, tore off one of the hind legs, and threw it far away. She did not care whether it was dirty or not.
