Chapter 113: Horror

Translator:Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luo Yuan rode atop his giant lizard. After catching a glimpse of the crowd beneath him, he turned his back nonchalantly. He patted the back of his mighty pet and away they went, leaving the district.

The giant lizard was agile, and as quick as lighting. Regardless of its massive size, its pace was nimble and quick. In less than a minute, they were already out of the district.

In just a few days, all the scars on the giant lizard have already healed. The scales that were peeling have also begun its regrowth to a now shiny and vibrant green. Unlike the miserable look it had when they first met, there was no sight of any remaining scars left.

However, compared to its initial gargantuous size, it has somehow shrunk, which could possibly make it appear fragile and weak. Still, only Luo Yuan knew how impressive his giant lizard’s combat ability was!

His agility had increased by two points. The higher the agility, the faster the speed. Now, the giant lizard is able to move twice as fast. The very moment its speed was unleashed, it could render even a dark blue level mutated beast shuddering in fear.

Nevertheless, it still wasn’t a good idea for Luo Yuan to fight the dark blue level mutated beast. Although his giant lizard was as swift as lightning, the dark blue level mutated beast was still capable of overpowering it. Not only will it dominate in terms of strength and size, its god-like speed would certainly be a threat, not to mention its ultimate defense skill too. Luo Yuan truly did not stand a chance even with his giant lizard’s attack against the dark blue level mutated beast.

Its primary ability is to suppress its enemies, followed by flashes of lightning strikes.

Due to his past, he still could not gather enough courage to take on such a threatening creature. Not even in this wildest imagination, could he ever! On top of the lack of courage, it would still be a near impossible feat to defeat it. So far, Luo Yuan had only met the dark blue level mutated beast twice. The first was a Snake, and the other was a Giant King Kong. Its impressive defense skills could intimidate anyone; sending shivers down their spines.

One would need all the body strength in the world just to slaughter the corpse of a dark blue level mutated beast, let alone a live one. Without an attack skill, it would be pointless to level up.

When weaponry proved futile, the power of one’s determination can be a good alternative. Luo Yuan’s Will and Sensory Perception both increased when he managed to obtain the heart of Gui Huai. Yet, he still feels that it does not suffice. To take down the defense of the threatening creature, one must use up massive Will. 14 points of Will would stand no chance against a brutal fight like this.

A few days ago, the dark blue level mutated beast began evolving again, to the point of realization of how cruel the world could ever be. The immense pressure is a result of said evolution. Any creature lagging behind in their evolution will be eliminated, or eventually becoming an inferior part of the food chain, as opposed to the superior ones, who would become stronger and will dominate.

Due to the dog-eat-dog nature of these merciless battles, the world has now become an enormous hunting ground. Should one ever be left behind in the process of evolution, one should expect to end up as another beast’s chow.

Will is the self-cultivation of heart, as well as the change of mentality. Thus, after a night’s worth of of meditation, he managed to raise his Will.

15 points of Will – the highest skillset he possesses, along with his powerful strength was his source of confidence.

Suddenly, the giant lizard suddenly stopped moving. Its tail tightened, and its scales rolled up instantly, forming sharp points. It howled in angst, and stomps its feet repetitively. Luo Yuan then noticed the uncanny, pin-drop silence in the district. It was in total silence, with only so much as a few soft roars coming from the distance.

“This is too abnormal!”

Luo Yuan started to seriously observe his surroundings. However, there was no motion in sight at all.

A gentle breeze swept by. From the top of a nearby dilapidated building, a few shards of broken glass can be heard falling to the ground, shattering upon impact.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He tightened his grip on his knife.

Slowly but surely, his giant lizard started to move backwards. Luo Yuan could feel the muscles of its back tightening. This is more than enough to indicate that the dark blue level mutated beast was close by.

The strange part was, he wasn’t able to catch even the slightest notion of its presence. It was only natural that no matter how carefully a huge creature moves, a sound would follow. Oddly enough, no sounds were heard at all.

“It can’t be in the sky, can it?!” Luo Yuan glances towards the sky, but there was still nothing in plain sight!

“No, there must be something I missed.”, he muttered to himself, laced with confusion. All the stress started to consume him.

Luo Yuan suddenly recalled the corroded earthworm he ran into previously. He could still feel his heart palpitating in fear.

“Oh no, it could be underground!”

Luo Yuan quickly jumped down from the back of his giant lizard. He immediately felt a slight tremor the very moment his feet touched the ground. All of a sudden, the shaking became more and more vigorous; approximately approaching a magnitude of either 7 or 8 on the Richter scale. All the streets began to crack one by one, forming innumerable bottomless cracks.

Luo Yuan could feel his heart palpitating haphazardly and he could hardly breathe. As he remained rooted to the ground, he started feeling terrified. His body was still trembling even after fleeing four or five meters away. A loud booming noise filled the air followed by an insane amount of rocks breaking their way out from the ground.

Facing a plotted attack like this, Luo Yuan had no way to escape.

Seven or eight concrete rocks slammed onto his back rapidly, signifying the start of a battle. The tremendous force hurled his body towards the air and smashed it onto the wall of the adjacent building. The wall shattered upon impact.

He shook his head and struggled to stand up. At that very moment, he felt as though his body was failing. A funny taste arose at the back of his throat and not long after, blood began to spurt out from his mouth.
