Chapter 229: Looking for Trouble

Just like people playing laser-tag, some animals prefered to scatter all over while others preferred to attack in one specific direction. The strange bird belonged to the latter category. Luo Yuan noticed that the bird had chosen a clear path on the giant rock. The nearer to the cave, the damper the soil in the potholes was.

The bird’s next move had to be picking up the giant rock closer to the cave. It usually chose rocks that were similar in weight, so that habit did not leave it many choices. Its scope was narrowed down even more.

However, Luo Yuan’s estimation was only relative. Mutated birds perceived distance differently than humans. A thousand meters were a long distance for humans, but for birds it was just a few seconds away. Their cognitive scale difference was like the difference between Heaven and Earth.

As a matter of fact, the strange bird’s range of choice was approximately 1.5 kilometers in diameter. Even if the bird chose the nearest giant rock that met its requirements, that rock would be at least 100 meters away. The rocks furthest away were up to 1,000 meters away, which exceeded Luo Yuan’s attacking range.

Due to air resistance, the bigger the distance, the weaker the power of the spear would be. Once it exceeded 100 meters, the sound of speed could not keep up with it. Even though its power would still be strong, it would be harmless against the highly defensive light-green mutated beast. Luo Yuan would only get one chance. If he failed, ambushing it again would be almost impossible.

He looked at the time. It was 1 a.m., five hours before sunrise. He had ample time to put his plan into action.

Luo Yuan was struggling to move an one-meter wide rock on his own under the moonlight. He was stumbling and soaking in sweat, his veins bulging on his forehead. He moved forward slowly, the giant rock on his back leaving a one-meter deep furrow.

Although Luo Yuan had killed the light-green bird effortlessly, when it came to this giant rock, he felt powerless. Judging by his strength, even a vulnerable blue level creature of small or medium size would be stronger than him, let alone a light-green one.

”How I wish the giant lizard was here.” Luo Yuan could not help but think of his pet, who never complained. Distracted and tired, he slipped and fell to the ground.

”Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!”

A primitive mutated creature nearby pointed at Luo Yuan, screaming and jumping. It acted as if it had discovered something epic. As a matter of fact, it had been following Luo Yuan ever since he had arrived in the area. Perhaps it thought they were the same species, but was curious about his small size.

Luo Yuan wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry over the fact that he was being taunted by a mutated beast. He gave it a killing stare, but the Green Hidden Creature’s shield rendered it pointless. On the contrary, it made the mutated beast, which was as strong as king kong, even more excited. It ran around Luo Yuan, making strange noises and attracting the attention of several mutated beasts, who they turned their heads to look at them.

That mutated beast had obviously inherited ape-ish characteristics. The fact that many mutated beasts were staring at it did not make it behave itself. Quite the contrary, it seemed exhilarated. It ran around crazily for a while and started moving a giant rock exactly like what Luo Yuan had been doing.

The rock that the beast was moving was even bigger than Luo Yuan’s. It had to be at least 10 tons, but that weight was nothing for a seven-meter tall beast. In a few seconds, it had managed to push the giant rock 10 meters away, without even breaking a sweat.

At first, Luo Yuan had been curious about what the giant ape was trying to do. When it pretended to fall while pointing at Luo Yuan and screaming though, he felt as if countless alpacas were running around in his heart.

”Sh*t!” His facial expression changed as he secretly took hold of his sword. Out of nowhere, he suddenly thought of something and let it go. ”You want to play? Be my guest then!”

His face looked dangerous as he walked towards the giant ape, who was laughing while it continued its performance. The ape had not noticed the incoming danger. It was using its strong fists to beat its chest, producing a loud noise. It was showing of its strength to the mutated beasts looking.

Luo Yuan smirked as he walked faster and faster towards it. They were less than 50 meters away now. He had a clear vision, and a few steps later, he appeared under the giant ape’s feet. He twisted his waist and aimed a flying punch at the ape’s calf.

The happy ape stopped what it was doing. Its eyes popped out of its head and it let out a groan that shook the Earth. Luo Yuan had not even used all his strength. If he were to use the attack that could temporarily break the speed of sound, he could have bent a metal rod, let alone an ape’s bones.

That was just the beginning of the torture of that sneaky ape. After that first hit, Luo Yuan stomped his feet and landed behind it. He aimed carefully behind its knee and gave it a hard kick. The ape was only 0.1 second into its first groan when the second hit made it let out a short, deep moan. The sudden blow made its voice sound distorted.

Its heavy body fell to the ground, its mouth filling with mud. It looked infuriated and ferocious, its muscles expanding and its veins bulging like cobras. There was a terrifying energy in those ridiculous muscles as the ape tried to stand up using its hands.

Bam!

It didn’t even get a chance to stand before it was hit heavily on the head, its face plunging into the mud once again.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The punches were hitting its face over and over again like raindrops. Luo Yuan added a little Will on every hit, just to give a lesson this level-two ape who’d been looking for trouble. The addition was only for show, the punches were not meant to kill it.

It was the most painful and devastating fight in the ape’s life. No matter how much it struggled to fight back, it was no use. Luo Yuan’s Dexterity was 15 points. Slowly but surely, the ape’s head was buried deep into the ground. Only the back of its head was still visible.

Despite its thick skin and strong will to live, it was beaten up by Luo Yuan for a full six minutes. Its head was buried deep within the ground, but the sound of its mellow groans could still be heard.

”That’s some crazy beast we have here!” Luo Yuan raised its eyebrows as he kept beating it up, adding more Will to his punches. Soon, the ape’s roar became a groan. The groan did not last long before it turned into a cry of fear.

Luo Yuan thought about it and stopped. He took a few steps back. The attack was barely over when the giant ape jumped up quickly, showing its terrifying sharp teeth and the vengeance in its eyes. It looked at Luo Yuan, who was standing in front of it, before it lunged itself at him.
