Epoch of Twilight

After Luo Yuan left this area, he didn't even have time to take the backpack that was placed nearby, so he ran all the way and ran for dozens of kilometers before stopping.

He chose a tree hole nearby, and immediately got into it.

The tree hole obviously has an owner. A low-level mutant beast that was curled up and dozing obediently in the tree nest couldn't help being a little dazed in the face of this unexpected visitor.

It just wanted to grin its teeth and give a warning, but Luo Yuan kicked his eyes, and immediately let out a whimper, and fell limp on the ground.

Luo Yuan stepped forward and grabbed it by the neck, and threw the mutant beast, which weighed half a ton, out of the tree hole.

It's rare to be in a good mood today, and I don't want to see blood under the knife. Of course, the main reason is that I don't want blood to stain this tree hole.

He sat in the tree hole for more than ten seconds, and his rapid exhalation gradually became even, but his heart was still beating.

He took a deep breath, calmed down, lifted his underwear, and untied the ghost-faced horse's mane tied around his body.

Without the shielding of the plasma underwear, the air in the tree hole suddenly changed, and a vortex appeared out of nowhere.

Compared with before it was pulled out, the color of the mane was much darker, it no longer looked so dazzling, and roughly returned to the original black, and the intensity of the vision produced was also far from being comparable to that of the ghost-faced horse. Mud farewell.

He had expected this for a long time. After all, compared to the number of ghost-faced horses' manes, these are just a drop in the bucket, and they are separated from the body, becoming a tree without roots and water without a source. .

But fortunately, the ability has not completely disappeared, it is still there. Considering his poor size compared to the ghost-faced horse, it is estimated that this kind of strength ability is enough.

He looked excited. Although he couldn't wait, he still needed to calm down and do some processing on these manes to remove hidden dangers before they could be synthesized.

The eighth-level material is different from ordinary materials. This material has a strong brand of will, just like a saber is to Luo Yuan, and a ghost-faced horse has the same response to these manes, but it is stronger and weaker.

Whether it is eliminating possible hidden dangers, or erasing the original owner's spiritual imprint and stamping his own mark on the equipment in order to control the equipment more freely, these are all essential steps.

Fortunately, these manes are insignificant to the ghost-faced horse, and the brand of will is pitifully small. Not only can it not be compared with the eighth-level energy crystal nucleus obtained before, but even the black knife is far inferior, and every remaining brand of will is almost negligible. Regardless, often the brand is quickly expelled as soon as the will is projected.

This greatly speeded up Luo Yuan's work efficiency. In less than ten minutes, all the manes were processed and branded with his own will. He breathed a sigh of relief, and now he probably wouldn't be able to sense even if the ghostly face was in front of him.

Of course, these brandings are still very weak, and they will flash out at any time like sparks. If you want to become as handy as a saber knife and an extension of your blood, this is not a day's work, you have to work day after day. Grow with will.

He took off his coat and trousers and started to synthesize!

He has long been familiar with this kind of work. As each mane turns into powder, the original camouflage combat uniform gradually turns black, and an invisible wave is produced in the clothing.

After a set of clothes was synthesized, there was only one-fifth of the mane left. Luo Yuan looked at the soft-soled running shoes under his feet. These shoes were synthesized by Luo Yuan a few days ago using the skin under the soles of the seventh-level mutant beasts. , there is only one ability, "walking silently".

He hesitated, thinking about it or forgetting it.

"Walk silently" is quite useful in combat raids, it's a pity to erase this ability, and these manes will not be wasted, at least they can be used as a belt.

"The combat uniform of the air vortex."

"Material: Ghostface Horse's Mane, Nylon."

"Rarity: Lavender."

"Weight: 0.4 catties."

"Defense degree: 38-45"

"Additional abilities: speed +6, vortex deflection force field;

"Equipment Requirements: None"

"Evaluation: This is a combat uniform that deflects and diverts air resistance. It allows you to run without feeling air resistance. Moreover, the material up to level eight makes this combat uniform extremely strong and never wears out. "

...

Air Vortex Combat Pants. "

"Material: Ghostface Horse's Mane, Nylon."

"Rarity: Lavender."

"Weight: 0.3 catties."

"Defense degree: 35-42

"Additional abilities: speed +6, vortex deflection force field;

"Equipment Requirements: None"

"Evaluation: This is a combat pants that offsets and diverts air resistance. It allows you to run without feeling air resistance, and the material up to grade 8 makes this combat pants extremely strong and never wears out. "

The information identified by the system flashed in my mind.

After synthesis, the entire combat uniform is much lighter, the fibers are more slender, denser, pure black in color, and has a blurred halo under the light, but fortunately, these halos are very faint, and ordinary people cannot see them with naked eyes. People seem to have a sense of mystery.

Luo Yuan put on his combat uniform, tied the remaining mane around his waist, walked out of the tree hole, and started the experiment.

He walked like an ordinary person first, and at this speed, he was almost the same as before he had not synthesized. He could still feel the air blowing slowly on his cheeks, and the cyclones and turbulence lingering around him did not seem to have any effect.

But when the speed gradually increased, the effect appeared immediately. The strong wind that should have appeared was deflected by the turbulence lingering around, and at the same time, the large amount of airflow accumulated in front was also diverted by the vortex.

He ran faster and faster, as if driven by the wind pressure, the surrounding turbulence became more turbulent, and there were more and more eddies. No matter how fast he ran, he could only feel the breeze.

Luo Yuan stopped slowly, with a look of surprise on his face. After training in Xinjing, his eyesight is not low now. Looking at the changes in the turbulence around him, he found that the mane of the ghost-faced horse seemed to have an extremely delicate and complex mane. The wind pressure balance system, the bristles are just triggers to trigger the turbulent flow, the power is not very strong, the wind pressure is the real driving force for their operation.

If the working principle of this mechanism can be deciphered and applied to fighter jets, this sky may no longer be the domain of mutant birds alone.

But then again, it’s not easy to say. The development of science and technology is done step by step, and it cannot be achieved overnight. The eighth-level biological reconstruction area has killed many people. It is so easy to crack them. Now the reconstruction area will not be so embarrassing. .

…………

Luo Yuan didn't return to the spot immediately to look for the backpack. To be honest, he was still a little apprehensive about the ghost-faced horse.

Honestly spent the night in the tree hole, and returned to the original place carefully the next morning.

The ghost-faced horse had already left, and the tree was completely ruined. The whole giant tree was lying on the ground, broken, and the leaves on it were gnawed off. gone.

Luo Yuan frowned, screaming inwardly.

The other things in the backpack are nothing, the most important thing is that there is a satellite map in it, without a satellite map, with his own sense of direction, he can't find his destination at all.

However, although he was anxious, he didn't look around like a headless chicken.

He still remembered the smell of the backpack. After sniffing the air a few times, he immediately found a familiar smell. After only one night, the smell was still very clear. He followed the smell and began to track it.

He walked farther and farther all the way, and soon turned over a mountain. He reckoned that he had traveled more than ten kilometers.

Luo Yuan didn't find any fragments of the backpack on the road. This is undoubtedly good news, indicating that the mutant beasts didn't bite all the way, at least the map is very likely to be intact.

He continued to walk for a few more minutes, and gradually, he felt the smell getting stronger and stronger, and finally stood still under a big tree, and suddenly raised his head.

Luo Yuan was pleasantly surprised to find that he was hanging from a tree branch on his back, but it was strange that there were no mutant beasts around, and there were no nests of other creatures nearby.

Luo Yuan guessed that the mutant beast lost interest in the backpack and threw it away.

He immediately jumped up and took off the backpack.

Opened it and took a look, there was nothing missing inside, but it looked a bit messy, as if it had been turned over by someone.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly felt a peeping gaze behind him. He hurriedly looked back vigilantly, and found a shadow flickering more than a hundred meters away, and the branches trembled slightly. This distance was beyond the range of his perception. Just as he was about to go over to have a look, a medium-sized mutant suddenly jumped out of the nearby leaves and landed on a branch more than ten meters away.

Luo Yuan withdrew his gaze, but the doubts in his heart still did not disappear.

His memory is amazing, even if he knows the exact location of every item in the backpack, when he is dragged here, maybe the backpack will be overturned, causing some confusion in the position of the items, but it is definitely not right to stuff the tent at the bottom , rolled over to the top, and the map will not be folded and stained. It must have been turned over by some creature, and finally the zipper was closed.

He checked the surface of the backpack carefully, and there were no bite marks or the like.

It shows that this mutant creature has a pair of flexible claws or hands, and possesses a certain amount of wisdom. Moreover, Luo Yuan deduced that its body size should be small, similar to that of a human being, otherwise it might be able to complete the movement of turning over the backpack.

Except for small primate mutants, it is very likely that intelligent races will drag the backpack away.

A gleam of joy flashed across his face, and at this moment the peeping eyes appeared again, still in the original direction, but the position was slightly off.

His expression turned cold, his body swayed, and with countless cyclones growing nearby, he flashed an afterimage in an instant, a distance of more than 100 meters in the blink of an eye.

With a flash of the knife, a branch was cut off by the space fluctuation, and at the same time, a faint blue figure fell down along with the branch, and let out a scream of unknown meaning.

This is a humanoid creature between 1.60 and 70 centimeters tall. Under the black hair is a pretty face with distinct features, ignoring the snake-like pupils and ghosts everywhere except the bare chest and abdomen. With a blue scaled body, this voyeuristic creature is no different from a human being.

Luo Yuan just glanced at it, and he was shocked and stopped the subsequent attacks.

The woman, before landing, turned over nimbly, grasping the ground with her limbs with extraordinary agility, and took a few steps back quickly after landing, her pupils erected, she looked at Luo Yuan vigilantly, and her mouth let out bursts of warning hissing.

With her squatting posture, a string of slender platinum necklaces emerged from the black hair of the shawl, and the delicate heart-shaped pendant swayed non-stop between the snow-white twin peaks.

This necklace proves her identity, there is no doubt that this is a mutant.

Luo Yuan's heart felt a little turbulent. The mutation allowed her to survive in this terrible environment, but at the same time she lost her human identity. She didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky.

Luo Yuan sighed, sheathed his knife, turned around and walked back, picked up his backpack by the side of the road, put it on his back, and continued walking for a few steps, then stopped again.

I don't know whether he was curious or held grudges when he saw Luo Yuan, the mutated man followed secretly all the time, seeing Luo Yuan stop, he hurriedly hid in the bushes vigilantly.

Luo Yuan shook his head helplessly and began to speed up.

As a result, he found that this mutant was not slow. Maybe it was because she was used to the life in this mountain forest, which made her move quite nimbly. From time to time, she grabbed the hanging vines and quickly shuttled through the forest, closely behind him. It's like an ape!

Luo Yuan had no choice but to let her follow, hoping to stop when he was tired from running.

It's a pity that they ran until noon, but the mutant still followed closely.

...

Cut off the head, peel the skin, and remove the internal organs.

After a simple treatment of the prey, Luo Yuan passed a wooden stick through the middle of the prey and grilled it on the fire. It didn't take long for the yellow grease to seep out gradually, and a tempting aroma filled the air.

Luo Yuan looked a little far away helplessly, and the mutant seemed to be hooked on him, and he just persevered.

A mutated beast had its chest cavity opened by her sharp claws, and it was currently grabbing its internal organs and biting them non-stop.

At this time, she seemed to smell the aroma, she stopped subconsciously, a trace of blood slipped from the corner of her mouth, the aroma of cooked food probably triggered her few human memories before, her throat loosened, and her expression was slightly lost.

Luo Yuan pretended not to notice it, and when it was half-cooked, he stepped on the fire, tore off a hind leg, and started to eat regardless of the heat.

It was okay at first, but soon, he felt a little uncomfortable. The gaze behind him was too hot, and his keen ears could clearly hear the sound of swallowing saliva.

Luo Yuan ate a few mouthfuls, had to stop, turned around and said, "Why don't you eat some too?"

People just look at their faces. This mutant's scales and vertical pupils are scary, but his face is stunning and his body is enchanting. If he grows up like a man, even if Luo Yuan doesn't kill him on the spot, he won't give her a good look.

Seeing Luo Yuan looking at her, the mutant immediately put on a vigilant posture and hissed.

The mutation had destroyed her vocal organs, and no one except herself probably knew what she was talking about.

Luo Yuan smiled, tore off one of the remaining hind legs, and threw it far away. As for whether it would get dirty, she probably wouldn't care.
