Luo Yuan glanced at his experience and felt happy. After the experience upgrade, it had reached 197520/307200. After another three or four tasks, he would be able to upgrade one level higher. Unfortunately, the giant aquatic beast was not killed perfectly and he got only the basic experience amount, else the experience would have increased by another 19,200 points.
Anyway, this task was basically a bonus to him and did not cost him a lot of effort, so he did not care much about it.
At this moment, the calm surface suddenly stirred again, making it look like boiling water. There were large and small fishes swam that towards their direction and each of them looked ferociously grim. When he looked down from the top, the lake had become black in color as if it was dyed with black ink.
The giant golden bird was very miraculous. Its three tail feathers that glowed blue impressed Luo Yuan. He thought of taking up the piece of tail feather which was floating on the lake so he could identify it. However, once he saw the shadows approaching, he made an informed decision to give up his efforts.
Whether it was in the air or water, it greatly reduced his ability to move. A simple careless mistake would put him in danger. In this wilderness, there were much more materials as precious as this while he had only one life. Therefore, he would not want to take the risk unless it was absolutely necessary.
...
Luo Yuan waved at the mutated woman who hid behind the bushes. The mutated woman hesitated and only after a while did she bow down her body and climb over carefully.
”Sit.” Luo Yuan said as he demonstrated the posture to sit.
She blinked and did not give a response. Instead, she stepped back.
Luo Yuan thought that she did not quite understand and patiently demonstrated the action several times.
The mutated woman looked hesitant. After a long pause, she slowly sat on a branch like Luo Yuan. She was not really sitting with her hip on the branch as her body was tensed while she looked around nervously.
Luo Yuan looked at her and suddenly he came to understand that she had lived in the wilderness for too long and was very alert to the danger in her surroundings. This posture of a human that was so relaxed in the face of danger would slow down her movement and put herself in danger. That was why she was so insecure when Luo Yuan asked her to sit down.
Luo Yuan did not force her. Instead, he opened the backpack and threw a bottle of water to her.
The mutated woman quickly came over and squatted down instead. She peeped at Luo Yuan and saw that he did not continue to correct her so she finally felt relief.
Luo Yuan did not bother her. He pulled out a map from the backpack and carefully studied the next journey and the time they would reach the sea.
While he was still on land, he could walk freely as long as he could reach the destination. However, the sea route was totally different and he could not afford a single mistake. The sea was too vast and there was nothing to be used as a reference point.
He had to be strict in following his planned direction in order to avoid any changes to the schedule and to find the island that could accommodate them.
The mutated woman looked at the bottle. She saw Luo Yuan's actions before. With the experience she had, this time she did not bite the plastic bottle but instead, tried to twist the cap. She found that it could be opened and was very excited about it. She continued to twist and in a short while the cap was removed.
She gently shook the plastic bottle. Like she learned from Luo Yuan, she lifted up the bottle and opened her mouth to drink.
And then she secretly glanced at Luo Yuan and saw that he was not paying attention to her, so she secretly hid the bottle behind her.
Unfortunately, nothing could be hidden from Luo Yuan's abilities. He was speechless with the intelligence level of a mutated woman. Even if she could hide it now, when they depart later, she would hold the bottle in her hand and everything would be revealed.
Of course, he would not mind the plastic bottle.
...
After resting for a while, they departed again. An hour went by and they passed through the lake and a hill before they finally reached a jungle that Luo Yuan familiar with.
He finally relaxed a bit after being tense for some time. As a living creature on land, he could only feel secure in this environment.
The Guizhou Mountains had many mountains and valleys in it. In a glance, he could see the tall mountains and deep valleys that riddled the region and some peaks were even surrounded by clouds all year long.
Even before the apocalypse there were very few people he visited as the land was karst with many sinkholes. Luo Yuan was not interested in exploring, so he only passed by in a rush.
As they were on the way, Luo Yuan suddenly felt dizzy and felt a kind of tiredness arising from within his heart.
His Physique was over 17 points and as long as he was connected to the earth via his Earth Stomp, he had an endless supply of physical strength in added up to a tremendous total of 23 points of Physique. Since he left the reconstruction area, he had never felt exhausted as he did now.
He immediately realized something was not right and quickly stopped to look at the system.
With just a look, his face became serious. Unknowingly, his Four-Dimensional Brain's capacity had already dropped to 2%.
”Four-Dimensional Drain”
”Dimensional Depth: 2%”
”Additional Abilities 1: Foresight (2 seconds)
”Additional Abilities 2: Four-Dimensional Visual Perception”
”Remarks: The four-dimensional world is colorful. Ordinary people can’t look at it with their eyes because they have simple brains. However, you who have the path of four dimensions opened for you, you’re no longer a simple minded human.”
