Capítulo 29: Chapter 24 Clues (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch, Novice Village Chief Typhal)_2
"We must find a new world fragment, preferably one that can block Yuan Force creatures. These two places are too demonic,"
Tao Yu didn't venture deep into the grasslands but kept walking towards the distance along the border of the rainforest and grasslands.
Beside him was the over three-meter-tall rainforest floor and the occasional roots appearing through the mud below, looking like a mud wall.
He surveyed the area but didn't see the smoke signals set by the two-man team from the Floating City, so the distance must be very far.
Given that, he wanted to try to reach another world fragment.
He didn't know how large these two world fragments were. If a whole planet was torn apart and thrown here, that would really be a leg-breaking journey.
Traversing the globe on foot?
What a hellish joke...
"I wonder if I can get some kind of assembled mountain bike when I go back. It would be even better if it were solar-powered electric..."
Since it was the last day, Tao Yu allowed himself to relax a little and cleared his mind.
However, at that moment, he frowned slightly, turning to look at the sea of grass as tall as a person. The rippling of the grass was wrong!
Something was coming his way!
"An Alien?"
Tao Yu's heart sank, and then he quickly slipped into Shadow Evasion. Suddenly, the surrounding scene became mottled, turning into a view from within the shadows.
The next moment, he moved rapidly towards the source of the noise.
The perspective of moving through the shadows, with reflections all around him speeding past. Although his spirit and physical strength were declining, the speed was much faster than his own full sprint!
The most critical thing was, as long as he increased his mental energy consumption, he could overlay double the depth of shadow with two major stealth Skills.
He could keep reducing his own 'collision volume,' though not capable of passing through walls, but moving through the grass he could almost not affect its sway, and no footprints or traces would be left on the ground!
"Looks like it's five of them, tsk, quite troublesome."
Tao Yu now had a clear judgment of himself; he could dispatch one or even two Aliens with consecutive close-combat sneak attacks!
But if he encountered more than three at the same time, he would have to consider using firearms for a tactical retreat.
Five was about the limit he could handle! He would need to use all his abilities and items.
The endurance was nearly pushed to the limit, which was too risky.
He would probably have to make a tactical retreat first.
He had high burst damage and high killing power. Even if an Alien's individual strength was a bit stronger, he was confident he could handle it, even assassination in a sneak attack.
But facing an ongoing battle or encirclement was quite awkward.
Still not enough endurance...
However, soon after, Tao Yu, looking at the ferocious grey wolf in front of him that was about half his height, couldn't help but feel speechless.
It turns out it was just a few grey wolves. Wasn't that a scare...
Although the grey wolf he saw had the size of an Alaskan malamute and was quite ferocious, compared to the previously assumed Aliens, it still made Tao Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
"Not bad, not bad, think of it as a supplement to my meat intake. I'll dry it and hide it, who knows if there'll be any next time."
While thinking this, Tao Yu swung his sword and beheaded the grey wolf in front of him without wasting any enhancements.
Although he swung casually, Tao Yu did not underestimate the grey wolves.
Without tools and weapons, five large grey wolves could still be lethal to Tao Yu!
Because of their number, it is easy to be overwhelmed!
In the evolutionary process of canines, their teeth are very good at tearing and biting; they bite and run, easily ripping off a chunk of flesh, specially designed for group attacks.
On the other hand, although felines have long canines that kill in one strike, they're not actually good at group attacks. Even when lions, which live in groups, cooperate, they mainly rely on their claws, using their teeth to lock the throat or the spine. If the claws are not well set, their teeth can easily break.
Five wolves of this size in an environment with such grassland height can easily cause even an individual with a gun to have an accident.
"But now with my physical fitness combined with a weapon, paying attention, I should also be fine, right?"
After killing one wolf, Tao Yu didn't want to waste extra mental energy to slip into Shadow Evasion again. Looking at the bayonet on the assault rifle and feeling the burst of strength from his body, he prepared to get a bit of practice.
With Bullet Time to fall back on, he wasn't afraid of messing up.
This is indeed a good opportunity.
Whoosh~
The next moment, the second gray wolf sprang out from the bushes; its ferocious teeth interlocked, revealing a wildness utterly unlike that of domestic dogs!
Without using any additional skills, just passive Dynamic Vision and the passive enhancement of Basic Weaponry.
Taking a casual step to the side, Tao Yu, with his physique at the limits of a normal human, thrust the bayonet precisely into the wolf's neck.
After crashing heavily to the ground, the gray wolf struggled for a bit, but soon, as the blood soaked in, its struggles grew weaker and weaker.
"Humans, can indeed be considered fierce beasts."
Tao Yu chuckled lightly, then turned and slammed the butt of his gun hard against the head of another wolf attempting to attack from behind.
The strength of a human at their limit, combined with the striking techniques of Basic Weaponry, cracked open the skull of the attacking wolf with a single hit!
It's time for you to recall the memories of being dominated by those terrifying upright apes!
When Tao Yu saw the little mouth of the fourth incoming alien, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
This number six, I knew you guys would be so cunning!
Bullet Time!
The scenery around him slowed, and the lunging creature's movements suddenly decelerated.
Because the alien was in mid-lunge, apart from its deviously aimed tail, it lacked points of leverage.
Relying solely on the consumption bonus provided by Bullet Time, complemented by the Qi-Blood from his Breathing Technique and the [Explosion·Improved], Tao Yu pushed his tendons to the extreme and easily completed the evasion.
This time, Tao Yu did not immediately resort to Shadow Evasion, but instead turned, lifted his gun and focused his mind to squeeze the trigger!
Ratatat~
Bullets drilled into the body of the sneaky attacker from behind!
Acidic blood splattered!
After being hit by the bullets, the alien, aside from the physical rigidity caused by the bullet's impact, also seemed to react much slower.
It was left writhing and rolling on the ground, unable to mount any effective counterattack!
After firing half a magazine, Tao Yu retreated into the shadows while moving back; his speed surged again as he headed towards the last wolf at high speed...
"Why has it turned back into a wolf again."
After casually chopping down the last one, Tao Yu also appeared somewhat speechless.
He was all ready, prepared for the last two creatures to be aliens, planning to deal with one using firearms to save strength and mental focus, and then stealth-killing the second, but the confidently anticipated second hit turned out, yet again, to be a wolf.
Four wolves and one alien?
Tao Yu even suspected that the alien had originally intended to quietly trail and capture these gray wolves.
That seems to be the only reasonable explanation.
However, given the appearance of the alien, Tao Yu wasn't in the mood to relax and slowly make jerky anymore.
After cutting off the hind legs of two wolves, Tao Yu didn't get greedy. It was already the last day anyway, and he cut off two legs just to bring back some meat.
"Hey, not bad luck at all."
Feeling the location where the alien was concentrating its Yuan Force in its mouth, Tao Yu also appeared somewhat pleased.
He was only one or two away from his second skill, and the chances for the Mouth of Yuan Force were rather slim.
Even if it didn't fully form after absorbing this one, the added Yuan Force should be enough.
"But, are there such large wolves in the rainforest?"
While absorbing the Mouth of Yuan Force, Tao Yu also wondered.
Traveling through the rainforest for so many days, he had only seen one type of frail little wolf that ate fruit, never one this large.
Does that mean, it could have come over from another fragment of a world?
Creatures infused with Yuan Force might face resistance when traveling through world fragments, but ordinary creatures wouldn't...
