"Eh!" Luo Yuan let out a light sigh, suddenly stopped and looked at the pile of bones in the bushes.
There is nothing unusual about skeletons. They are everywhere in this forest, whether they are humans or mutant beasts. This forest is almost covered with corpses. What really caught Luo Yuan's attention was a wooden stick with obvious cutting marks. Of course, it was not so much a wooden stick with cutting marks. The wooden stick was more like a pillar. It was as thick as a large bowl. The two sections were about four meters long when joined together. Luo Yuan shook the smaller section, which weighed about a hundred kilograms. The whole stick was probably There are three hundred kilograms.
This is obviously not a human weapon!
Luo Yuan frowned slightly, endured the stench, and cleaned the bushes. The bones inside were completely exposed. The bones were only the upper body, and the lower body was missing. It was obviously taken away by some mutant beast, and the bones were fat. Maggots as thick as a thumb were burrowing through the holes in the eye sockets of the head. As Luo Yuan's momentum spread slightly, countless poisonous insects suddenly emerged from under the bones and fled in all directions.
The skeleton clearly belongs to a primate, but it is much larger than a human being. The upper body alone is already two meters long. Counting the lower body that is not here, it is estimated to be four or five meters tall. Its head is huge, the size of a basin. , Luo Yuan turned his head over, and was surprised to find that the head was not round like most creatures, but slightly like a tilted cylinder, and the back of the head was extremely long.
Coupled with the rotten animal skin next to it, Luo Yuan knew without guessing that this must be an intelligent race.
Luo Yuan stood there with his eyes closed, and sniffed gently with his nose. For a moment, the smell of corpses, the fragrance of various vegetation, the smell of animal skins, the smell of rotting leaves, and countless smells penetrated into Luo Yuan. nostrils.
For Luo Yuan's current nose, to put it bluntly, it is far better than that of a hunting dog. Even the fragrance of vegetation in the air can be divided into hundreds of different varieties.
The corpse had already rotted into bones, and it was unknown how much time had passed. However, since it had not rained for a long time, he soon caught a faint breath. With these breaths, he could vaguely determine the owner of the corpse. traces.
Following the breath, Luo Yuan walked a few hundred meters and suddenly found three more corpses. There were traces of fighting in the nearby bushes. Luo Yuan noticed that after arriving here, the breath suddenly became stronger, and it was obvious that they could be seen. Come out, it’s not just one “person” who comes out, but a group of people. After they arrived here, they divided into several groups and pointed in other directions. Luo Yuan guessed that there were about eight people in this group of "people", maybe they were out hunting. When they got here, they were suddenly attacked. One person died quickly, and then Another fight broke out, but the attacking creatures were powerful, and two more died, so morale collapsed and they scattered.
However, these speculations were of no use. Luo Yuan just had a thought. For him, the only good news was that the rich aura here meant that he didn't have to look for it so hard.
His speed suddenly increased, and he jumped onto the branch like an ape, moving silently through the forest like a ghost.
There were more and more artificial signs ahead, and many big trees had signs of being cut down. At this moment, he suddenly stopped. Using the cover of the branches, he looked around and saw a rustling sound. A group of about ten strange-looking giants came into his sight.
The muscles of these giants are all tangled, exuding the aura of strength. The short ones are about four meters, and the tallest one is more than six meters. Their whole bodies are smooth and hairless, their skin is blue and black, and their cylindrical heads make them look like Wearing a chef hat.
Different from ordinary mutant beasts, they wear a rough animal skin around their waists and hold weapons in their hands. Of course, for humans, these weapons are extremely crude, and most of them are replaced by thick wooden sticks.
However, what surprised Luo Yuan was that he found that the leader was actually holding a steel ax with a blade over one meter wide.
This steel ax can be described as crudely made. Apart from its terrifying size, the craftsmanship is not worth mentioning. Not only is the surface uneven, but the edge is also undulating. There are chipped teeth everywhere, and there are even a few tiny cracks on the body of the ax. .
But it was indeed steel, and the gray-silver luster made Luo Yuan look solemn.
From the Stone Age, to the Bronze Age, to the Black Iron Age, and then to the Steel Age of the First Industrial Revolution, human civilization is a history of evolution using materials. Although this conclusion is somewhat biased, the ability to use steel at least shows that This intelligent race possesses certain metallurgical techniques.
A chill arose in his heart. The intelligent race he encountered last time could only use fire, but this time they were able to make steel. The civilization of the intelligent race evolved so fast that it was chilling to the bottom of his heart. Human beings had hundreds of thousands of years of experience. Evolution has only reached this stage, but it seems that there is no obstacle to the intelligent race after the end of the world, and it is advancing by leaps and bounds.
Can humans really suppress these intelligent races
He stared at these giants with murderous intent in his heart. No matter what, he was a member of the human race. He would be honored when he was prosperous, and when he was damaged, the reconstruction area was ruined. Even if he could escape with his life, he could only Wandering around, struggling for survival.
Luo Yuan's sharp blade was gently unsheathed and silently fell from the branch.
"Human! #%#￥" The giant headed by him suddenly roared when he saw Luo Yuan suddenly falling in front of him, and a group of giants quickly became alert.
The clear word "human" made Luo Yuan's body tremble and his eyes narrowed. He looked towards the giants. Luo Yuan could feel these giants. He was obviously a little scared when he saw him at first, but when he saw them When he found that he was alone, his expression suddenly relaxed.
"Surrender and live; resist and die!" The leader of the giant bared his teeth and said with a ferocious face. His accent was jerky and his voice was dull and thick. After saying that, he waved his hand, and the remaining giants quickly surrounded Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan glanced around without caring, with a sneer on his face: "You can actually talk?"
"Surrender, live! Resist, die!" the giant leader repeated again.
"It seems that I only learned one sentence, then go to hell." Luo Yuan's sword was shaken, and an invisible energy spurted out from the blade, extending one or two meters away. This was not the radiance of will, but the light of will. The sharpness of the newly synthesized Zhanma Sword itself.
"#￥%#@!" Seeing that Luo Yuan seemed ready to resist, the giant leader immediately lost his patience. He roared repeatedly, preparing to capture that "human" alive.
However, the giant under his hand did not move. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly found that the little human had disappeared. The next moment, his throat hurt slightly. He subconsciously touched his throat. As soon as he made a move, he felt He suddenly flew up and began to spin...
More than a dozen heads fell to the ground one after another, and pillars of blood rose up around Luo Yuan like fountains.
He gently inserted the knife into the sheath and continued walking forward.
He frowned all the way and his face was ugly. Even among intelligent races, it is impossible to learn human language without a teacher. Coupled with the actions of those giants trying to make him surrender just now, and the inexplicable appearance of the steel ax, he already had a vague premonition. To what.
