Epoch of Twilight

The weather seems to have gotten muggier the last few days, and it's been raining every few days.

If calculated according to the normal seasons in the past, it should be spring now. In the blink of an eye, a whole winter has passed since the whole world changed.

"This is the Beijing People's Broadcasting Station, here is the Beijing People's Broadcasting Station! Now it is broadcasting globally to the survivors who are still persisting all over the world... As of today, all signals in Africa and Australia have been completely interrupted, and contact has been completely lost The signals in most of South America, parts of Europe, and Southeast Asia are interrupted from time to time, and the situation is worrying..."

"...This is a war between human beings and nature. Human survival is under huge challenges and the situation is becoming increasingly severe. Under the correct leadership of the party and the government, China has established super-large defense bases in Beijing, Tibet, Qinghai, Urumqi and Taklamakan, A nationwide strategic transfer, if any survivors hear this news, please pass it on to each other and broadcast it again..."

"We are now reporting international news. The interim governments of the United States and Canada have formally reached a strategic agreement to jointly develop the ice fields in northern Canada. Once this agreement is reached, it means that, except for a few important military bases in the United States, most of the population of the United States will gradually migrate. .”

"Moscow, the capital of Russia, found a persistent high-heat energy source on the satellite map this morning. The energy source lasted for six minutes and fifteen seconds, and then disappeared strangely. Now Moscow has temporarily lost contact..."

"According to the news from Japan, Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Ichiro Yamamoto, who visited China on February 27, encountered an accident on the sea when he returned to China yesterday. The plane crashed and people were busy..."

The noisy sound of the mobile phone radio came from the earbuds, and Luo Yuan's expression was serious.

In just one winter, human beings have retreated from left to right, and now they have begun to migrate to plateaus, deserts, and ice fields, which were previously forbidden areas for humans and most creatures. Obviously, the situation in various places is more severe than Luo Yuan imagined.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a dull vibration outside.

"Zhengchou couldn't find you, I didn't want to come to the door automatically!" Luo Yuan raised his eyebrows, unplugged the earphones for listening to the radio, put the mobile phone on the table, picked up the saber, and walked out quickly under the anxious eyes of everyone. villa.

He walked fast, each step spanned three or four meters, and Luo Yuan rushed to the place where the source of the earthquake came from in just a few minutes.

This is a giant lizard-like beast with a height of three meters. If the tail is counted, it is six to seven meters long. The sharp horns are obviously not yet developed, only a small section, about half a foot, is exposed, which looks a bit nondescript compared with the huge body.

This giant beast has been wandering around the community for two days, and it seems hesitant every time, but compared with yesterday, its position is obviously closer today.

It snorted, and spewed out puffs of white mist from time to time. With its ferocious giant claws, it stomped around irritably and let out a provocative growl.

Yesterday, Luo Yuan felt a little strange about the reaction of this giant beast, but now he understands that the territory of this community was originally occupied by ghost locust trees, because most of the nearby mutant beasts are of similar strength, so Basically a delicate balance is maintained.

However, since the ghost locust tree was killed by Luo Yuan, after a few days, the remaining breath here has become weaker and weaker, and the nearby mutant beasts have begun to move around.

This one is the mutant beast that came to test first.

A blank territory without an owner is really rare for a blue-level mutant beast that is neither weak nor powerful in this city, not to mention that this one was driven out of the territory recently and wandered around. The kind of homeless.

Looking at the various scars all over its body, the scales have fallen off in many places, the tearing looks mottled, extremely desolate, a few scars obviously happened nearby, and there is still blood flowing on its body, you can know that this wanderer Life is not easy.

However, this giant beast is very vigilant and overly cautious. Whenever there is a turmoil, it will immediately retreat, and the speed is astonishingly fast. Luo Yuan originally planned to hunt it down yesterday, but he didn't expect that his feet hadn't moved yet, and he didn't know. For some reason, Fang Fang ran away decisively.

Perhaps this is also the way for it to survive after wandering and hunting in various mutant beast territories for a long time.

Originally, Luo Yuan was worried about the failure of the mission, but he didn't expect to come to the door on his own initiative today.

In order not to scare away the giant beast again, Luo Yuan was more cautious this time. He crawled on the ground and slowly moved his body, approaching step by step, his breath restrained to the lowest point.

It roared a few times, then stopped, it seemed to be listening to something, a few seconds later, it relaxed a little, and walked into the community swaggeringly.

It raised its head to the sky and roared, as if extremely proud of itself. Suddenly it instinctively sensed the danger, and its whole body shook. The prismatic scales on its tail opened slightly, forming a jagged shape. Keep backing up.

Suddenly it seemed to sense something, turned its head suddenly, and saw a small creature approaching it quickly, its eyes flashed with doubt and confusion for a moment, and it really couldn't believe the fragile creature it had used as food these days, It actually gave it a dangerous feeling.

It seemed to feel that its majesty was offended, and it became a little annoyed, completely forgetting the danger it felt just now.

It roared, moved its limbs crazily, and rushed towards the little creature, the ground suddenly made a rumbling sound, and the momentum was huge.

When rushing over, it even had time to think that this creature would definitely collapse to the ground in fright like the ones it encountered before, and it would be best if it didn't even come out with feces and urine. Although it wasn't picky eaters, it still The taste is not very good after all.

But that creature runs so fast!

Its IQ is limited, and as soon as it had a thought, the creature had already entered its most comfortable attack distance. As soon as it stretched its neck, it clicked down on the little creature, and even a stone next to it was bitten by it. into pieces.

At this time, it instinctively felt something was wrong. It seemed that when the flesh was crushed in its mouth, the blood poured into its throat was sweet and sweet. A creature slipped past under its nose.

"Aw!"

The intense pain from the severed claw made it roar loudly.

A front paw fell off its body quickly, and a large amount of blood spurted from the wound like a fountain.

Luo Yuan's eyes are cold, relying on the addition of the heart of ghost locust tree, the strong will of fourteen points, so that he does not need to rely only on anger to keep his body under the protection of will, a layer of light film invisible to the naked eye is tightening The surface of the light film and even the air on the surface began to distort slightly, making him look vague and unreal from a distance.

On the other hand, the light on the Zhanma Saber extended to more than an inch in length, and it was tougher and sharper, and there was nothing continuous.

After Luo Yuan slashed across the giant beast's front paws, he didn't stop moving at all, and then nimbly burrowed into its belly, raised the saber straight up, and quickly walked a few steps, the blade followed the high-speed movement of the body, pulled it to the end, The tough skin on the giant beast's surface was not much stronger than a piece of paper under the sharp blade. There was only a "stab" sound of rags being torn, and a wound extending from the chest and abdomen to the abdomen suddenly appeared on its body.

It's a pity that this giant beast is too tall, and when he runs, for the sake of faster speed and body stability, the center of gravity is extremely low, so that the knife only scratched the surface of the skin, and did not hurt at all. The internal organs, otherwise, with this knife, most of the giant beast would have been dealt with.

Before the giant beast came, it howled again, and Luo Yuan came out of its belly lightly.

Luo Yuan's series of actions made people dazzled. In just one round, the giant beast had already been severely injured.

But it wasn't over yet, and then he stepped on its bucket-thick giant legs again and again, and using both hands and feet, he turned over and stood on the back of the giant beast. He now has a fine-grained control over his strength, coupled with his high-speed response nerves, even on a smooth wall with no bumps, Luo Yuan can take five or six steps out of thin air to a distance of three or four meters. Not to mention the scarred, rough surface like sandpaper behemoth.

At this time, the giant beast finally felt that something was wrong. It let out a furious roar, and its body shook violently again and again, trying to throw Luo Yuan off.

For a moment, it seemed that there was an earthquake with a magnitude of seven or eight. Ordinary people would have been thrown away.

But Luo Yuan's face remained unchanged, his body was pressed extremely low, and his center of gravity fluctuated. Feeling the huge ups and downs of power under his feet, he kept adjusting his own strength, and his body seemed to be rooted for a while, motionless.

Suddenly there was a piercing scream from behind, Luo Yuan took a quick step back as if he had expected it, and turned his body slightly sideways. He split it into two pieces with one knife.

The momentary imbalance of power caused him to shake a few more times. Immediately, he took a deep breath and took the first step slowly. Then his speed gradually increased. At first he was still a little shaken, but as he walked step by step Go, the body will become more and more stable.

In just a few seconds, Luo Yuan had already stepped on its head, and no matter how it shook it, it couldn't get rid of him.

He raised the saber against its head, and the sharp light on the tip of the knife froze. With the complete release of killing intent, a powerful aura emanated from him, and even faintly suppressed this almost frightened giant beast.

He could feel its body start to tremble slightly, and just as Luo Yuan was about to kill it with a knife and pick some meat to bring back to the villa, the giant beast made a strange movement.

It suddenly lowered its body, its head pressed against the ground, and whimpered for mercy. Under the fear of death and the suppression of its aura, it completely gave up resistance at this time, just like a weakling who is looking down at the creature at the top of the food chain. The fate of each other is pinned on the luck of the other party's stomach being full.

Luo Yuan was stunned. He had never thought that a mutant beast would have such a reaction, and he had never encountered such a situation.

He hesitated for a moment, and jumped off its head tentatively. At the same time, he watched its reaction vigilantly, and more than a dozen coping methods flashed in his mind.

Luo Yuan wasn't worried about its reaction. This mutant beast had already cut off half of its leg, half of its tail, and a serious wound on its abdomen. Even if it ran, it couldn't run very fast.

The giant beast didn't move, it seemed to feel Luo Yuan's gaze, and its body trembled more violently.

"Should this be surrender?" Luo Yuan touched his chin and thought to himself.

"It seems that it has completely given up resistance, why don't we just kill it?" Luo Yuan hesitated in his mind. If this mutant beast had been steadfast in resisting to the end, Luo Yuan could have killed it with a single blow without any pressure. It seems unreasonable to kill it in the case of accepting its fate.

But I am not reconciled to letting it go, this is a lot of experience, and if the task fails, the experience will be doubled, and it will be tripled every time you come and go. If you are lucky, you have to complete at least two E-level missions to make up for it, and if you are not lucky, you need to complete three.

"Forget it, just kill it. There is no morality between humans and mutant beasts. Killing a mutant beast is equivalent to saving hundreds or even thousands of people in this city in disguise, at least human-eating mutant beasts." Another head is missing." Luo Yuan weighed it up and didn't hesitate any more.

The Saber in his hand showed its light again, and he walked towards the giant beast step by step.

As if feeling that death was coming, the giant beast trembled more violently, and its body shrank into a ball. Once it lost its courage to fight, it was difficult to regain it. This is true for humans, and it is also the same for mutant beasts.

At this point it completely gave up resistance, just waiting for death to come.

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in my mind.

"The blue-level creature "Monster Lizard" has completely surrendered to you, whether to accept it as a war beast, cancel/confirm?"

Luo Yuan paused, thinking he had misread it, and he didn't realize it until a while later, and quickly recited silently to make sure. The body of the giant jungle monitor lizard seemed to vibrate and shook his head.

He quickly opened the attribute panel, and sure enough, at the bottom of the panel, there was a Beast option, and there was also an exclusive attribute panel in the drop-down box.

"Beast of War: Jungle Monitor;"

"Level: Level 0 (blue);"

Attributes

Strength: 18(10)

Agility: 12 (10)

Physique: 17 (10)

Intelligence: 3 (10)

Status: Frail

Loyalty: 55 (below 50 will betray or run away at any time, the full value is 100)

Unassigned attribute points: 0

Unassigned skill points: 0

…………

This attribute is really too powerful, strength of 18 points is almost 7.5 times that of his, 16 times that of a normal person, physical strength is 3.3 times that of Luo Yuan, ten times that of a normal person, only agility is a little less, But compared with ordinary people, it is already extremely strong. Of course, if you don't look at the sub-attributes

And looking at its attribute panel, it seems that it can be upgraded like himself, but what makes Luo Yuan a little puzzled is that it obviously has more experience when it reaches the first level than Luo Yuan did at the time, but considering its huge size, it is reasonable. Excuse me.

But to be honest, he couldn't be sure what formula was used to judge the experience needed to upgrade the system. Is it based on body size or a single attribute? Or is it judged by the overall attributes? Luo Yuan's overall attribute reached an astonishing 76 points. Although this jungle monitor lizard's single attribute is powerful, its overall attribute is only 65 points, which is only five points higher than normal. Of course, Luo Yuan guessed that the biggest possibility of the system is based on the comprehensive Factors to determine the overall, which involves complex formulas.

But before Luo Yuan was happy, the reminder of mission failure came.

If you fail the "E-level task: kill" the jungle monitor lizard, double the basic experience points will be deducted, a total of 3200 points. "

Fortunately, Luo Yuan's experience pool still has a surplus, which is enough to deduct this experience, so that he doesn't have to worry about being downgraded.
