Lan Mu's speed on land wasn't fast. It was about one-tenth of his swimming speed in the sea.
The trees in the forest were also obstacles to him. He often had to break them as he moved.
As a result, he couldn't hide his tracks at all. Even without satellites, they could easily follow him.
Soon, he discovered a group of people sneaking behind him. They were the garrison troops.
"They're just following me from afar. They don't seem to want to get close …
"They're probably waiting for reinforcements … If I turn around and fight them, that's what they want.
"I have to get past the next wall and enter the core area. There must be the energy I want there."
Lan Mu uprooted trees and uprooted mountains, leaving behind a mess.
He could only sense a few dozen kilometers away in the sea. On land, he could only sense five kilometers away through heat. It was better to use his spiritual energy.
The guards were about three miles behind him. Lan Mu didn't care about them. He focused on running towards the second wall.
Along the way, he saw and heard strange things.
Whether it was plants or animals, the species here weren't the same as those on Earth.
Flowers, trees, birds, insects, and mutant beasts were all strong and ferocious. Their structures were novel.
But for the most part, they were only slightly larger than those on Earth. When faced with Lan Mu, they only had the thought of running away.
While running, Lan Mu ran into a group of predators that looked like velociraptors. They hopped around, making unpleasant squeaking noises.
These seven velociraptors had sharp beaks, agile bodies, and daring.
They actually jumped onto his back and jumped twice. After provoking him, they still wanted to leave.
The velociraptors didn't seem to know that they were provoking a huge monster. They were still running on his back, oblivious.
Lan Mu suddenly turned around. His head was like black lightning. He bit down on one of the velociraptors. With a crack, the velociraptor's bones were crushed. It died with a wail.
"Pfft!"
With a casual spit, the carcass knocked over another velociraptor. The other velociraptors were scared out of their wits. They knew this beast wasn't to be trifled with.
But Lan Mu didn't want to let them go. His head attacked, and his horn collided with the velociraptors.
A series of muffled sounds could be heard. It was as if they had been hit by a high-speed train. All of their bones and tendons were broken, and they fell to the ground and died.
"Very weak … There are probably only a few dinosaurs in the periphery, right?"
Next, Lan Mu encountered wave after wave of dinosaurs.
There were docile duck-billed dragons, cumbersome swollen-headed dragons, and even ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex.
These dinosaurs were not a match for Lan Mu. Those who blocked his path were either knocked away or crushed.
Although in Lan Mu's eyes, dinosaurs were weak, compared to humans, they were all powerful reptiles. To be able to give birth to such a large group of creatures, it was enough to show how powerful the xenogeneic energy on the Lost Island was.
In comparison, the changes in Shennongjia were not even worth mentioning. Of course, the two mutated in different directions. In terms of strength, the ferocious beasts were definitely no match for the Tyrannosaurus rex, but in terms of intelligence, the beasts of Shennongjia were far superior to the dinosaurs.
This was especially true for legendary creatures like the Three Tails, whose ability to learn languages was far superior to that of humans.
"Such a huge area of influence, so many mysterious species, and such a powerful mutation …"
"There must be a lot of xenogeneic energy in the heart of the island!"
Lan Mu was filled with anticipation. He rushed to the second wall as fast as he could. Just as he sensed that the wall was five kilometers away, he finally encountered a troublesome enemy.
To be precise, it was a … meatball-like existence.
This meatball had many holes on it, opening and closing as if it was breathing. It also released a strange fragrance.
When Lan Mu first sensed it, he did not think much of it. When he got closer, he suddenly sensed the strange fragrance and hurriedly retreated.
The meatball was parasitic on a huge tree. The tree was sixty meters tall, and the meatball was sixty meters tall!
For the time being, this was the largest creature Lan Mu had seen.
"I wonder what this thing is …"
Lan Mu could not figure out the opponent's path, but he thought that it would be fine to take a detour.
After he went around the meatball, he used his spiritual perception to monitor it. After a while, a giant python with five heads appeared where he was just now.
The five-headed giant python had followed Lan Mu for a while. Although it was called a giant python, it was only twelve meters long. Lan Mu did not pay attention to such a small thing.
The giant python seemed to have smelled the strange fragrance and immediately reacted strangely. It stopped following Lan Mu and crawled toward the meatball.
Like an idiot, it directly drilled into the meatball's hole.
After that … there was no more after that … The hole just closed and did not open again.
"Heh, this kind of trap is useless against my huge body, right?"
"The Lost Island, this place is far more strange than I thought."
Lan Mu took large strides forward and finally arrived at the foot of the high wall. He stood up straight, his body as straight as a ramrod.
Just like before, he used the same method to climb over the wall!
…
"Captain! I see it! It's really a giant python! "
"It's not just a giant python … Look at its horn! It's a legless flood dragon! "
"It wants to climb over the Gamma Wall! Captain, should we stop it? "
"Follow it, I'll call for air support."
There were fifteen people in this small garrison team. They were familiar with the terrain and were good at dealing with the monsters outside, so they could easily run long distance in the forest.
The captain quickly called the containment base and reported the situation here.
"Air attack countdown …"
"Three …"
"Two …"
"Chi chi chi!"
Three missiles flew over and locked onto the gigantic Flood Dragon that seemed to be crawling.
"Boom boom boom!"
The missiles were powerful, and Lan Mu's back was badly mutilated.
However, only two missiles hit him directly, and the other one exploded in the air and sprinkled a large amount of medicine on his back.
"Ang!"
Lan Mu shouted loudly and jumped over the high wall with a single leap.
On the other side of the wall was still a forest, but it was much more sparse. There were also flat areas and a river that went straight to the center of the island.
"Hiss, is this medicine a strong anesthetic?"
As he swam, he quickly noticed that his back was numb, and his movements were much slower.
"There are so many monsters here, but they don't fight them. Instead, they let them reproduce for so many years."
"They attacked me as soon as I appeared, I get it now … Captive? Do they want to capture me alive? "
CANC didn't allow supernatural creatures outside their control to exist. It wasn't that they didn't have the ability to clean up the lost island, but they had the confidence to capture and research it. That was why they kept the entire island in captivity and set up a containment base here.
Lan Mu was the first monster to intrude. Regardless of whether or not he would destroy the ecological balance, just Lan Mu himself was an anomaly that came to their doorstep.
"It won't be easy to capture me …"
Lan Mu's cold snake eyes were bloodshot. He ignored the scattered scales and continued to move forward.
He followed a river, and it was obvious that the source of the river was the center of the island.
Rumor had it that there was a lake there, and that was Lan Mu's target.
Lan Mu's movements were too loud, causing the creatures in the river to become restless.
Coincidentally, a 15-meter-long crocodile crawled out from one of the rivers. But before the crocodile could react, Lan Mu bit down on it and swallowed it whole.
The stomach acid inside his body was rapidly decomposing the crocodile, but the wound on his back wasn't too serious, so the bleeding stopped immediately.
This was an Overlord crocodile. Seeing that it was barely enough to fill the gap between his teeth, Lan Mu ate it.
While hunting the Overlord crocodile, Lan Mu accidentally drank a mouthful of the river water, then froze.
"Alien energy!"
Lan Mu looked at the river water in shock. Just now, the Life Orb jumped out on its own and absorbed the alien energy.
Most importantly, this energy didn't have the familiar radiation. In fact, Lan Mu felt that this energy was completely different from the energy in Shennongjia!
"What's going on? Did I make a mistake?"
"No! My goal is to replenish the Life Orb. No matter what kind of energy it is, as long as the Life Orb recognizes and absorbs it, then I'm bound to get it! "
Lan Mu looked at the river. Originally, it was going to flow to the sea or stay in another lake.
However, Lan Mu saw that the second high wall directly blocked the river. A part of it was taken away by the drainage holes in the wall, while the other part was forced to change course, forming a small lake in a depression on the side.
"Just nice!"
Lan Mu ran to the small lake and dived in to absorb it.
The Life Orb spun slowly, replenishing itself.
Just as he was happily absorbing the energy, the lake suddenly swelled up …
"What!"
Lan Mu was stunned for a moment, but soon, his spiritual power scanned and discovered a shocking fact.
He neglected the fact that there was a giant beast in the water! It was a 40-meter-long behemoth.
Its huge black carapace was as round as a lid, mottled with marks, and covered in mud. After a long time, it had hardened into the earth, forming a riverbed at the bottom of the lake.
The carapace suddenly rose, and a long neck stretched out. The head at the end was covered in thick armor, and its eyes were sharp. When it opened its mouth, it revealed sharp teeth.
There were bone spikes on its neck, and its four limbs stretched out. They were extremely thick and sturdy, also covered in bone protection.
It was a huge tortoise!
