After the evolution, the mutated human slumped on the ground, sweating profusely. Coupled with her petite figure, she looked delicate and powerless.
However, Luo Yuan could clearly see that the dim shadow of the mutated woman was now a few times brighter than before. She looked weak and harmless, but she was full of energy.
Sure enough, within a few seconds, her breathing became regular and her tiredness was gone. Her body was full of energy.
As the pain from the evolution subsided, she immediately shifted her attention and looked at the changes in her scales. She wanted to stand up, but it was a simple action. Her body swayed and she almost fell. She was so scared that she quickly held onto a tree branch.
She used a little force and her nails penetrated deep into the tree bark.
After pulling it out, she inserted it into the tree bark and tried it a few times. She carefully looked at the nails that were sharper than before, and her face gradually became excited. Her eyes shone with excitement. She held onto the branch and moved carefully, gradually getting used to the sudden increase in strength. Her body swayed from time to time, and she almost fell a few times. However, her reaction was very fast. Every time she was in danger, she would always be able to grab onto the branch in time.
Perhaps the changes in her body had made her more courageous and she was no longer afraid of making mistakes.
At first, she was still jumping up and down on the branch carefully.
After about 10 minutes, her range of movement began to expand and she jumped from one tree to another.
She jumped up and down repeatedly. She was overjoyed and excited!
It could be seen that due to the sudden increase in her attributes, her movements were rather jerky compared to before. Every time she jumped, she would either overexert herself or not have enough strength. Fortunately, there were layers of branches here. Even if she fell, with her agility, she would be able to find a foothold on the next layer.
Moreover, she was watching Luo Yuan.
The evolution had increased her attributes. Her Dexterity was now close to 15 points and her Strength was estimated to be 16 points. Her Stamina and other sub-attributes were not obvious, but they had probably increased.
Mutants were indeed blessed in this aspect. If they were evolved humans with such attributes, they could be categorized as super evolved humans. There were only a few evolved humans like them in the entire Reconstruction Area. Two months ago, Luo Yuan's attributes were only slightly stronger.
But to a mutant, it was only the result of a Level 6 Energy Crystal.
The only regrettable thing was that other than these, the mutants did not seem to have gained any abilities. They were more like pure physical evolvers.
…
Of course, Luo Yuan's combat power could not be measured by attributes alone. Whether it was his expert level knife skills, the precise use of every ounce of strength, or the assistance of his Will, they all accounted for a large part of his strength.
In other words, with the same attributes, Luo Yuan could deliver more than 20 tons of force with a single punch. With the help of his Will, his attack power would increase by 20 to 30 percent. But for an ordinary person without any scientific training, he might not even be able to lift seven or eight tons.
Coupled with the Limitless Zhanmadao, even a level seven mutated beast could be easily killed.
…
The lake was so clear that one could see the bottom, the swaying water plants, the shoals of fish, the lush trees that covered the sky, and the rays of light that shone through the gaps between the leaves.
It had to be said that if one ignored the dangers here, the environment here was simply too beautiful!
However, both the mutant and Luo Yuan were not in the mood to enjoy the scenery. They had rested enough for the day, so after a simple lunch, both of them continued their journey.
As they continued to move forward, the lake began to get deeper and the distance between the trees gradually widened. The distance between each tree was usually one to two kilometers, sometimes even five to six kilometers. It was quite spacious.
From time to time, they could see the remains of dead trees nearby. The bark of these dead trees had decayed and peeled off, revealing a black glaze-like luster. They looked like huge stone pillars standing in the lake.
Some of the trees had completely toppled over. Their roots were twisted like a horned dragon, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws in the air.
Some of the trees were still stubbornly alive, but without the sunlight, these trees would not be able to survive for long.
Each of the trees here was extremely large and luxuriant. Usually, a single tree could form a lush forest with an incredibly huge canopy that could easily cover a radius of a few kilometers. At the same time, it was extremely difficult for them to survive.
Looking at the remains of the giant trees and the toppled trees, it was obvious that this area of water was quite dangerous.
Along the way, he had seen it many times.
Whether it was a huge whirlpool that suddenly appeared, or a shadow that suddenly slid past silently from below, Luo Yuan's expression became solemn.
These aquatic mutated beasts might not be of a high level, but because the buoyancy of water was much greater than that of air, it could effectively counteract the effects of gravity. The size of the same level of land creatures was nothing compared to the aquatic creatures. Each of them was extremely large, and the only thing that could limit their size was the depth of the water and the abundance of food.
Coupled with the unique environment in the water, it was extremely difficult to deal with them. Once they attacked, Luo Yuan's counterattack was quite limited.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, Luo Yuan witnessed the battle between two level seven mutated beasts from afar.
One of them was a giant aquatic beast with a flat tail and limbs, with sharp teeth and a huge mouth that looked like a lizard. The other one was a strong and majestic golden bird with three tail feathers that emitted a blue glow on its back, making it look extremely mysterious.
The giant golden bird kept circling in the air. Its wingspan was over a hundred meters, and when it circled in the air, the sky seemed to be shrouded in a layer of shadow. However, compared to the lizard-like giant beast, the bird's huge body was tiny and delicate. Apart from its wings, its body was only the size of a lizard's head.
However, the giant golden bird was extremely fast, as fast as lightning.
In this battle, it had completely gained the upper hand.
Every time the giant golden bird swooped down at high speed, it left a cone of sound that lingered in the air for a long time. Even in Luo Yuan's eyes, its speed was still like an afterimage, as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, its claws had already clawed at the eyes of the giant aquatic beast. Although the aquatic beast tried its best to avoid it, every time it clawed, it left a bloody mark.
Luo Yuan noticed that one of the giant aquatic beast's eyes had been clawed blind, and its scalp was bloody from the sharp claws. Its white jade-like skull was exposed.
The excruciating pain made this lizard-like giant beast quite manic. It tossed and turned on the surface of the lake, and every time it moved, it would set off huge waves. Tens of thousands of tons of lake water were lifted into the air and did not fall for a long time. The entire lake seemed to have exploded. Even though it was a few kilometers away, it seemed like it was raining heavily.
Although it seemed like the giant golden bird had the upper hand, and the aquatic beast had no way to fight back, that was not the case. The aquatic beast looked miserable, but its injuries were not fatal. Even if it could not defeat the giant golden bird, it could still hide in the water.
On the other hand, the mutated bird seemed to have the upper hand, but as long as it made a mistake, it would be doomed.
Moreover, the aquatic beast did not seem to be as manic as it looked. It only knew how to attack passively. Luo Yuan noticed that every time the giant golden bird attacked, its sharp teeth would quietly move towards the direction of the giant golden bird.
It was a very patient hunter. Its manic behavior was just a way to lower its opponent's vigilance. It seemed like it was waiting for a perfect opportunity.
Sure enough, half a minute later, after the giant golden bird attacked again, the aquatic beast suddenly turned its head and bit the giant golden bird. That was the only time Luo Yuan had seen it attack. It was a perfect example of what it meant when it did not move, but when it moved, it would definitely kill.
The giant golden bird realized that something was wrong and flapped its wings, but it was too late.
Its lightning-fast speed allowed it to attack with ease, but it also made it difficult for it to stop. It could only watch as its body approached its bloody mouth.
In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, his legs were bitten by a bloody mouth.
The giant golden bird was so scared that it kept flapping its wings, causing a terrifying wind pressure that pressed the surface of the lake into the shape of a bowl. At the same time, it used its sharp, spear-like beak to peck at the beast's forehead.
The giant golden bird's attack was enough to kill. With a cracking sound, a hole appeared on the head of the giant beast in the water. Luo Yuan's eyes were sharp and he could clearly see that grayish-red brain matter was flowing out of the hole.
The situation immediately changed from a perfect ambush by the aquatic behemoth to a lose-lose situation.
The aquatic beast rolled around in pain and the giant golden bird was dragged into the water. The two giant beasts continued to fight in the water, and the whole lake suddenly became turbulent.
Luo Yuan's eyes lit up. He had originally planned to just watch and not participate.
After all, flying beasts and aquatic beasts were extremely difficult to deal with. If he was not careful, he could easily lose. However, the two giant beasts were completely entangled in the water. With the terrifying vitality of a level seven mutated beast, it would be difficult to determine the winner within a short period of time. It would be a shame to miss such a good opportunity.
He looked at the mission information in the system. Fortunately, the mission had not disappeared. There was still a chance. He quickly accepted the mission.
He then stomped on the tree branch and his body suddenly shot out like lightning.
The mutated humans nearby saw Luo Yuan flying and quickly hissed. They used all their limbs to jump on the tree branches, trying to catch up with Luo Yuan...
...
Half a minute later, Luo Yuan arrived above the lake where the two gigantic beasts were fighting. There were huge waves on the surface of the lake, and a huge amount of water splashed up like a huge fountain. The clear lake water became muddy.
Smelling the faint blood in the water, Luo Yuan did not dare to hesitate and quickly descended to the surface of the water.
Luo Yuan used his Sense to sense the position of the two giant beasts. The lake was very deep, and even his Sense could not reach the deepest part of the lake. However, the two giant beasts were still within his Sense. They were about 10 meters away from the surface of the water.
However, such a distance was too far for Luo Yuan. In order to launch an effective attack, he had to take the risk and enter the water. However, it was very dangerous. The intense fight between the two beasts had stirred up the water, and the impact of the waves was equivalent to the explosion of countless bombs.
Once they entered the water, it would be difficult to even get close to them.
Fortunately, their positions were changing at a high speed. No matter how anxious he was, as a hunter, he could only wait patiently for the right time.
Finally, after 10 seconds, the surface of the lake suddenly surged and a huge water column shot up from the side of Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up. In a flash, he took out his Zhanmadao and slashed at the water at a high speed. In a breath, he had already slashed hundreds of times!
The next moment, the surface of the lake suddenly turned upside down. A large amount of blood splashed up along with the water, dyeing the lake red.
Along with the blood, a section of golden wing was also coming up.
The wing was cut smooth, obviously caused by the space cut of the Zhanmadao.
Soon, more and more things came up. Due to the buoyancy of the feathers, most of them belonged to the giant golden bird.
About 10 minutes later, the surface of the lake gradually calmed down and everything was calm. Not long after, the mission completion notification sounded. Luo Yuan let out a sigh of relief. Looking at more and more shadows slowly swimming towards him, he immediately flew up into the air and flew towards the branches above.
