Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 178: Treading water

Views:

After hearing Huang Jiahui's warning, Luo Yuan knew what happened even without looking back.

He exerted force on his hands and threw Zhou Yicheng far away in the direction of the monitor lizard. He crossed a distance of seven or eight meters in the air and landed accurately near the monitor lizard.

"Pull him up quickly and clear away all the algae."

Luo Yuan's expression was calm, without any trace of nervousness, as if what was chasing him behind him was not some ferocious mutated fish, but fish meat delivered to his door. He actually had time to speak:

Huang Jiahui and others, who were immediately paying attention to the situation here, felt slightly relaxed when they saw this scene.

The water flow began to fluctuate violently, and even Luo Yuan's body began to become a little unstable. I sensed that a seven to eight meter long mutated fish was approaching rapidly, like a high-speed steamship, splitting the river in half.

On land, a creature of this size would be nothing more than a piece of cake.

But in the water, his strength is greatly weakened. Even such a creature makes him feel quite troublesome. If he says he is not nervous, he would be lying, but being nervous has no use except increasing the psychological burden on himself or others. .

The strange fish in the water was very fast. It only took half a breath before it was already approaching. It suddenly opened its huge mouth, revealing its dense fangs, and opened its mouth to bite Luo Yuan.

At this time Luo Yuan finally moved!

His feet suddenly exerted force, and at extremely fast speeds, the soft and invisible water flow seemed solid for a moment, with the solid texture of stepping on land. His feet were moving, and at the same time, his hands were violently slapping the water.

The two forces combined, and for a moment, Luo Yuan unexpectedly jumped out of the water, even jumping to a height of more than three meters.

As soon as he jumped out of the water, the restraint of the water disappeared, and he felt as happy as a bird leaping into the sky.

At this time, the strange fish jumped into the air with one blow. When it saw the food jumping out of the water, it subconsciously swung its giant tail and bit into Luo Yuan in mid-air with its bloody mouth.

Luo Yuan could hardly help but want to laugh!

Really looking for death!

If it were in the water, Luo Yuan would still be a little wary, because his strength would be greatly weakened in the water. Even if he could kill the opponent, he would probably be injured. But in the air, even if the body is not very flexible and the power is limited, such a small character cannot be bullied.

In Luo Yuan's eyes, its movements were too slow.

His body relaxed slightly, and he paused in the air for a long time. He took the sword in his right hand. The next moment, there was an invisible black light that split the rain curtain. It seemed like a sudden death, and it directly opened its bloody mouth. It was split directly in half from the upper jaw to the lower jaw, and the surface was as smooth as a mirror.

This is not over yet!

Luo Yuan's arm was like a phantom, with streaks of cold black light, like lightning under the rain, crisscrossing rapidly. The strange fish only struggled for less than half a second before it stopped twitching, and only pieces of flesh and blood were seen, like dumplings. Like falling into the water from mid-air, a huge lake dyed the surrounding lake red.

The sky is covered with dark clouds and the rain is pouring!

Through the subtle force generated by the deflection of the blade and the ultra-fast frequency of the blade, Luo Yuan's body stayed in the air for a long time. It was not until the entire mutated fish was cut into countless pieces that he fell back down, but at an extremely slow speed, as if A feather slowly fell down.

At this moment, his heart suddenly moved.

Will has the effect of making wishes come true. He has always used this characteristic of will to gain the ability to slow down slightly when jumping from high places.

Luo Yuan has always believed that when one's will is strong enough, one can fly freely.

This seems to be similar to the power of thought, but in fact it is completely different. The power of thought is like another limb of the body, another organ that is different from other parts produced through evolution. It can control weapons to attack, and it can also generate power out of thin air. When it is strong enough, it can support its own body and fly. However, there is a distance problem, which is the effective distance of telekinesis.

Just like a hand can support one's body, but cannot exceed the length that the hand can reach, it can only fly at low altitude at most.

The will is completely different. It is the heart. All your wishes come true. If you want to fly, as long as the 'heart' is strong enough, you can fly. No matter how high or far you fly, there is no limit. As long as the will is strong enough to support it!

However, Luo Yuan's current willpower is far from the requirements for flying. He can only reduce the weight of his body and achieve a deceleration effect.

But although I can't fly, I just don't know if I can run on the water

The water itself has a certain buoyancy and tension, and by stepping on the ankle, it can also generate reverse thrust. As long as the force is strong enough and the speed is fast enough, this is probably not impossible, not to mention jumping out of the water just now. It can be seen from the beginning that with his fourteen points of agility, as long as he goes all out, the water surface is actually not much different from the ground.

Luo Yuan had never tried it before because of the danger in the water, but now on a whim, he suddenly wanted to give it a try!

His mind is quick and his thoughts are as fast as lightning. In fact, it only takes an instant.

As soon as he concentrated his will, his whole body emitted an undetectable light. As soon as his feet entered the water, he stepped hard, and a splash of water suddenly exploded in the water. Following this pushback force, his body unexpectedly started to regenerate. Jumped one meter.

Too much force! he thought.

In the second step, his strength became much lighter.

It was so light that it almost sank again.

After repeatedly adjusting his strength, except for the first three or four steps, which were still a little swaying, rising and falling, the remaining few steps have become quite smooth. He moved forward step by step, like a leisurely garden. Walking, the speed is like galloping, leaving behind only a lotus-like water that blooms one after another, lingering for a long time.

This scene is beyond common sense.

Except for those who were familiar with it, they had already seen Luo Yuan's miracles and were not too surprised. However, it was the first time for the soldiers to see the sight that looked like a god. However, they were shocked in their hearts. When they looked at Luo Yuan, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

… … …

The mutilated corpses and the strong smell of blood left behind by the mutated fish immediately attracted the attention of other giant beasts in the water and other mutated fish.

They fought crazily, and it became more and more fierce, and the blood became thicker and thicker. Finally, all the mutant fish began to lose their minds and bit each other crazily.

The entire river was shaken by waves, and the already turbid river suddenly seemed to have turned into a mud pond.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Yuan quickly told the giant lizard to move away quickly.

Perhaps it was the overwhelming presence of a few giant beasts in the water that scared off the other mutant fish. Even at the deepest point, when the water had already covered Luo Yuan's belly, no mutant fish without eyes came to prey on him. The journey was smooth and smooth. to reach the other side.

When they got on the highway again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the situation this time was really not good. Four soldiers died, and one Zhou Yicheng was still alive and dead.

"How is he doing?" Luo Yuan asked, looking at Zhou Yicheng.

He was carefully taken care of by several soldiers, and it was obvious that he was not at ease with Luo Yuan and others.

At this time, the water plants on his body had been removed, and his clothes and pants were taken off, and used as a raincloth to block the raindrops. However, he kept his eyes closed, motionless, and breathing vaguely. Luo Yuan discovered the other party's exposed skin. There seemed to be some small red spots similar to pinholes, and traces of red and yellow liquid that looked like pus were flowing out uncontrollably. A soldier next to him kept wiping him, and his eyes were slightly red.

The soldier's lips wriggled, and finally he sighed sadly and said nothing.

"It's not very good. There are soft thorns growing on the water plants. When we found him, these soft thorns were stuck in his body!" The answer was Cao Lin.

The aquatic plants had already been kept away by everyone, so Luo Yuan could not confirm what was going on through identification. However, even if he did not identify the carnivorous aquatic plants, he knew that the injection was definitely related to digestion, and it might also be added. Upper neurotoxoid.

The pus-like yellow-red pus is a sign of dissolution of fat and protein. If he is not treated in time, he may not survive tonight!

Luo Yuan sighed and said: "Have a rest for one night and leave again tomorrow!"

The monitor lizard stopped at the gate of the outpost.

… …

It was obvious that survivors had stayed here before. There were still rubbish and traces of ashes inside. The most obvious thing was that there were clear footprints on the ground. However, it had been a long time since they left because it was covered with a thick layer. Thick dust.

Huo Dong and Lin Xiaoji took knives and began to clean up the remaining mutant creatures.

Luo Yuan no longer needs to take action for such a trivial matter. With their current strength, they can deal with ordinary mutant creatures.

Huo Dong opened up the rotten quilt, and dozens of fist-sized mutant bugs immediately fled in all directions. The bottom of the door was blocked by rags, and even the hole in it was stuffed with a piece of rotten cotton. All the bugs had nowhere to escape. He trampled them to death one by one, touched the bed board, and said happily: "Fortunately it's not wet!"

Next, he cut off the iron bars around the wooden bed one by one, then took out the wooden boards and placed them on the ground.

This is firewood for supper.

Next to him, Lin Xiaoji was doing the same thing. He hesitated for a while and then said: "I heard that we have reached the secret military base and we may be sent to the northwest reconstruction zone! What are your plans then?"

"Plan?" Huo Dong was stunned for a moment and his movements slowed down. He suddenly realized that he had not thought about this problem. He thought for a while and said: "I, let's take it one step at a time. But you are an evolver. The government will definitely absorb it. When the time comes, the harvest will be guaranteed despite droughts and floods. You will be much better than the rest of us." ”

He was slightly envious in his heart, but he couldn't be envious. It all depended on luck. There was no smoke coming out of his ancestral grave.

"The government must be doing dangerous things if it recruits evolved people. How are these days different from now?" Lin Xiaoji sighed: "I still plan to find a job and live an ordinary life. I am an evolved person. Don’t mention it! I’ll tell others about it when the time is right.”

"Do you think Boss Luo's ability will cause a sensation when he gets there?" Huo Dong asked with a thought in his mind.

"It's impossible. China is so big and there are so many people. There will only be an ordinary evolver there. You see, Wang Shishi is no less than Luo Yuan, at most a little bit better. Alas, it's a pity that my ability to evolve is poor. Otherwise, how could I be so successful? Tragic." Lin Xiaoji touched the wooden board and said with self-pity.

Fortunately, your ability to evolve is weak, otherwise you wouldn't be able to fly into the sky. Huo Dong cursed secretly in his heart.
