Epoch of Twilight

After walking for more than half an hour in the morning, the ground began to get wet gradually. There are many lakes and streams in this area, and there are more puddles connected to each other. After walking for more than ten minutes, the ground has begun to become wet. Extremely **** Many places have overflowed with water.

The abundant water source also allows the plants here to grow extraordinarily vigorously.

Not to mention the towering forests that are almost inserted into the sky, and even the aquatic plants on the ground have grown two or three meters high. Walking in it, it is difficult for people to distinguish east, west, south, north.

These aquatic plants are full of insects and snakes, and poisonous substances are rampant. Luo Yuan hardly walks a few steps before encountering an attack. Along the way, Luo Yuan's knife did not stop.

If these are just small troubles on the road, then groups of mutant insects occupying a radius of several kilometers, with long tail needles like spear points, flying around in groups, are simply overwhelming for Luo Yuan. It's annoying.

Each of these mutated insects is only the size of a millstone, and their strength is mostly dark blue, but they act collectively and have the same sociality as a bee. The overwhelming attack of the entire insect swarm is absolutely endless.

Although it was not dangerous to Luo Yuan, it was enough to make people sick.

Of course, if he kept releasing his aura, these troubles would not be a problem, but the aura does not come out of thin air, what it dissipates is a person's spiritual energy, perception and will, no matter how strong his will and perception are, he can't stand it. consumption along the way.

He barely walked for a while, and finally had to imitate the mutants, jumping forward on the trees.

He has also walked on trees a few times before, but after all, he is not as skilled as the mutants who live in the jungle. At first, he was a little twisted, and his movements seemed a little jerky, but he was amazingly agile, and he controlled his body meticulously, no matter how difficult it was. The movements are also easy to learn, and he got used to them in a short while. After a few minutes, his movements are more flexible and smooth than the mutants.

Luo Yuan found that there are not many bird's nests here, and almost every tree is full of nests.

He and the mutated people set off before dawn, and the sky was just getting dark at this time. It was the time when the mutated birds were about to come out to look for food.

Along the way, all kinds of sharp, croaking, or melodious bird calls came and went.

At this time, a shadow fell over his head suddenly, Luo Yuan's face turned black, he quickly stepped down, and his body quickly jumped to another big tree like a phantom, even if he didn't look back, he knew what the falling thing was .

As long as you look ahead, a lot of bird droppings along the way are dropped from the sky like biochemical bombs. If you don't pay attention, you may be caught.

These mutated birds are not those petite and exquisite birds before the end of the world. Even the smallest mutated bird is the size of an adult. If the wings are spread, it is six or seven meters wide. As for the big ones, they are five or six meters high and nearly three to four tons. The weight abounds here.

If the feces pulled by a mutated bird of this size hit it, even if it doesn't submerge people, it is enough to pour water all over your head and face, and you can take a bath by the way.

However, both the mutant and Luo Yuan were extremely vigilant and did not let the tragedy happen.

…………

Along the way, more and more water accumulated on the ground. From the original wetland, it gradually turned into a swamp, and finally gradually developed into a lake. If there is a real lake in front, then this lake, then I'm afraid it's unbelievably big.

You must know that at the speed of the two, it has been nearly half an hour since there was water, and the distance is more than 100 kilometers, which is only the periphery.

In the past two days, Luo Yuan has been in a hurry. He has already crossed Sichuan and Shu, even Guizhou, and he is about to enter Guangxi. Because he has a compass to determine the direction and a satellite map to judge the terrain, he has never happened so far. Lost, judging from the satellite map in memory, there is no trace of this lake ahead.

Luo Yuan guessed that the lake may have just formed, or the lake water is too shallow to submerge the trees, so it cannot be seen on the satellite map due to the obstruction of the line of sight.

Since the end of the world, first the temperature has risen, then the sea level has risen, the climate has changed drastically, plus various earthquakes, volcanoes, and the terrain has changed too much. Some original rivers and lakes have disappeared, and new rivers and lakes have appeared at the same time.

The vicissitudes of life are nothing more than that!

Sure enough, the water surface has started to get deeper and deeper, and the weeds and shrubs on the ground have gradually subsided, replaced by aquatic plants with leaves like ribbons drifting in the water, and groups of mutated fish swarming among the aquatic plants Shuttle endlessly,

The dazzling light at noon, through the layers of leaves, sprinkled a patch of bright and dark spots on the water surface, and with the rippling of the water waves, the misty colors changed.

At this moment, a streak of water flew towards this side like an arrow, and the water surfaces on both sides were separated by an invisible force, causing a half-meter-high wave.

The mutant was panting, desperately chasing the back of Luo Yuan in front of her. She didn't have Luo Yuan's perverted physical strength, and she followed Luo Yuan all day long yesterday. This kind of high-intensity exercise had exhausted her. I did my best.

Coupled with the strange environment last night, she didn't sleep well all night, and she had only run for a few hours today, and she almost couldn't hold on anymore.

Her exhausted body and slack spirit made her less vigilant than before, and she didn't notice the change of the water surface at all for a while.

Just as she was jumping from one branch to another, her body was still in the air, when she heard a loud bang!

The water splashed more than ten meters, and in the snow-white mist, the murderous intent suddenly appeared!

A ferocious mutated fish with a length of more than ten meters and a mouth full of sharp teeth suddenly jumped into the air and bit the mutated man!

It happened so suddenly, when the murderous intent came, her pupils contracted sharply due to the intense fear, her body stiffened for a while, and she didn't respond at all other than that.

Seeing that the mutated man was about to be swallowed by the mutated fish, at the very moment, a burst of short spears or simply a branch that was snapped off at random roared in and bombarded the mutated fish's head heavily, blowing the head of the fish into pieces. A mass of ground meat.

The rest of the kinetic energy moved the headless body of the mutated beast for more than ten meters, and then fell back into the water with a plop.

The next moment, the lake suddenly surged with an undercurrent, and a vortex was born, and soon there was blood rushing up, splashing everywhere.

In just a few seconds, this mutated fish, which was extremely fierce before, has become a bone.

"Are you okay?" Luo Yuan quickly landed next to the mutant, and asked whether she understood or not.

She didn't respond, her body was tightly hugging a branch, trembling like a frightened mouse, the scene of surviving from death just now was obviously frightening to her.

Luo Yuan touched her head comfortingly, just touching her head, she was shocked all over immediately, and quickly climbed to the top of another branch with hands and feet, hid behind the leaves, and looked at Luo Yuan vigilantly.

Luo Yuan withdrew his hand in embarrassment, seeing that she was terrified and frightened, and she was breathing heavily, she seemed extremely tired, obviously she couldn't hurry anymore, compared with yesterday when she had more energy, her physical strength had dropped significantly.

We must find a way to solve it. The lonely journey of a person is quite difficult. If the mentality is weak, it is enough to make people crazy. His strong will will naturally not be so unbearable, but there is this mutant who can be called a half-person. At least not It would be so boring, Luo Yuan thought to himself.

"You wait here, I'll come as soon as I go." Luo Yuan said, and then walked into the distance.

But after he walked a few steps, the mutant followed up again, and Luo Yuan quickly gestured for her to stop and rest.

The IQ of mutants is much higher than that of mutant beasts. After a few times, she finally understood and stopped following Luo Yuan.

But she seemed a little disappointed, with her head lowered, and she squatted listlessly on the tree branch, like an abandoned kitten.

As time passed, her mood became more and more depressed. She ran to the branch and looked in the direction Luo Yuan left, as if she wanted to find a certain figure, but the leaves were all over here, layered upon layer, like a dense green network, what? Didn't see either.

She looked in the direction she came from before!

The familiar environment is no longer there, and the nearest mountain here is also very strange to her. She doesn't know how far she has traveled this way, she only knows that from yesterday to now, she has been running again and again... eat Run when you are full, and run when you wake up.

Leaving her safe nest, leaving her familiar environment, she came to this piece of water that made her feel uneasy. She squatted on a branch and looked at the water surface with fear. There were countless terrifying monsters flying in it. Swimming, it seemed that they would jump up and swallow her in one bite. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she was, and she quickly climbed to the highest branch and hid herself among the leaves.

Loneliness, fear, loss and various emotions rose in her heart.

She suddenly wants to go home, this is not the place she wants to stay, although the road is very far, but as long as you follow the direction you came from, you will always find a familiar environment, that is her territory, and her It's a reassuring nest, there is a corner in it, and many of the shiny and beautiful treasures she usually collects are buried, just like the ones hanging around her neck!

At this time, there was a slight sound not far away, and her ears were immediately pricked up, her body arched slightly, her feet moved silently, and she hid in the denser bushes next to her. She could feel that the creature in the distance was moving. high speed.

From far to near, it only took her three blinks.

No, he is coming this way!

A trace of uneasiness flashed in the mutant's eyes, and she quickly climbed towards the top of the tree with thinner branches. This is her valuable experience in surviving in the jungle. The thin branches here can bear her light body, allowing larger bodies to Creatures stay away, even if they encounter hunger and hunger, they can also use the elasticity of the branches to jump to a farther place.

It's a pity that before she climbed to the top of the treetop, a figure appeared in front of her in an instant.

With the strong wind blowing in her face, she froze in fright, hugged the branch and remained motionless, the next moment, she blinked her eyes!

It wasn't the enemy who came, but the strange kind who had left long ago.

Fear and anxiety melted on his face, and a kind of joy from the heart rose from his heart, and then spread throughout his body. The whole body seemed to become numb, as if it was about to float.

She didn't know it was a surprise, a high intensity joy, but it didn't matter, she liked the feeling.

She noticed at a glance that he was holding flesh and blood in his hands. It turned out that this strange kind did not leave, but went hunting. She looked through the leaves and looked at the sun that was about to reach the top of her head, and it turned out that this strange kind was eating Time is up.

"Go on!" Luo Yuan looked at the dumbfounded mutant, and threw an energy crystal nucleus. He didn't know that she still had such complicated psychological activities at this time, and he didn't realize at all that the mutant also had human similarities. constructed brain.

The mutant subconsciously reached out to take it. She looked at it and smelled it again. The stench from this small stone made her instinctively desire to swallow it, so she obeyed her instinct and swallowed it!

As if she had been electrocuted, her pupils dilated suddenly, and then shrank rapidly. At the same time, her whole body quickly turned red, and her whole body exuded high temperature.

This is a sixth-level energy crystal nucleus, which came from a mutant bird, which was killed by Luo Yuan in the lair. Although the level is not high for him, he can only find this kind of energy in a hurry. up.

But judging by her performance, it should be useful.

More than useful, the real change is just beginning.

Unlike humans, mutants have stable genes.

Since the gene of this creature was invaded by the beast gene, it seemed that a hole had been broken and it became extremely unstable. This made her not like a human being, but also allowed her to evolve as easily as a mutant beast.

As her whole body turned red, the color of the scales gradually deepened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take long for the new scales inside the scales to fall off one after another.

The newly emerged scales are red and tender in color, thinner and denser than the original scales, without any gaps. From a distance, you can't tell that she has scales, and it feels like normal human skin.

However, the color of the scales quickly deepened, hardened, and soon turned light blue!

If the change of the scales only caused her a little pain, then the next change made Luo Yuan feel a little painful. He could only hear her bones creaking, and she howled repeatedly in pain, revealing two sharp little canine teeth, At the same time, his nails frantically tore at the bark of the big tree below him.

Perhaps it was the energy crystal nucleus that made this evolution extremely violent without any buffer, and at the same time lacked food supplements, resulting in an extremely hasty evolution. In this evolution, not only did her body not grow as large as the mutant creature, but Instead, self-shrinking evolves toward miniaturization.

Her original height of nearly 1.7 meters kept shrinking, and soon became less than 1.6 meters. Half an hour later, when the final shape was finalized, she was only 1.5 meters tall. She looked petite and exquisite, just like Luo Yuangang The way he looked when he saw Master Wang.
