Epoch of Twilight

No words all night!

The next day was still bright, and the team set off again. Luo Yuan noticed that Wang Xiaguang's eyes were red and swollen, and his face was gloomy. She seemed to sense Luo Yuan's gaze. She looked up at him with a complicated expression, then lowered her head and remained silent. Silent.

Luo Yuan hesitated to speak, but turned into a sigh.

Half an hour later, everyone finally walked onto the highway.

Heavy trucks that broke down or were knocked over can be seen everywhere along the way, but small vehicles such as cars are rarely seen.

Countless materials were scattered on the road, and there were almost everything on them, such as steel ingots, food, machinery, instruments, and even a large number of guns and ammunition.

Before the human situation completely collapsed, this expressway was the only transportation artery connecting Hedong City with other places. Trucks flowed continuously every day, day and night. But when the beast tide happened, this side was also affected.

With so much ammunition, Luo Yuan naturally couldn't take all of them away. He only took three boxes, hung them around the monitor lizard's neck, and continued on the road. Now everyone has shot each of them, and they are all Type 95 military rifles, including a sniper rifle, which was left by the soldier, and was thrown to Chen Xianfeng by Luo Yuan.

As for the combat power, maybe even Luo Yuan is not as good as him. It can only be said that he can barely shoot, but it is better than nothing. At least he can support him during the battle.

The closer you get to the giant tree, the more you can feel the shock from the bottom of your heart.

Looking down from the highway, with its trunk as the center, huge and unimaginable roots are deeply inserted into the ground like angry dragons. The majestic force generated by its growth makes the terrain of several kilometers around It has been uplifted as high as a tomb, and all the buildings near the suburbs have collapsed. A large number of geothermal hot springs emitting high-temperature steam are spraying day and night, making the place shrouded in clouds and mist.

Even now, Luo Yuan can still feel that because of the continuous growth of the giant tree, there are still earthquakes happening there from time to time.

At noon, everyone rested for a while in the fortifications on the highway, and then continued on the road. When it was close to three o'clock, they finally walked into the shade of the trees.

The sky has been completely covered, and there is a boundless green above the head. Only occasionally a few beams of sunlight penetrate through the layers of leaves and shine on the road, forming fist-sized spots of light.

This is almost a world of birds, countless large and small mutated birds perched on the giant trees. All kinds of clear and melodious calls came and went, almost connecting together. Even the air has become incomparably fresh, making everyone in it feel refreshed, as if they have recovered a lot of physical strength.

If you don't care about the oppressive aura emitted by these mutated birds, and don't care about the colorful poisonous insects on the leaves that look like pythons, and all kinds of weird creatures that also inhabit the trees, this place is undoubtedly like a fairyland.

But among the people in it, no one is in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. This place is almost an independent ecosystem, in which countless powerful mutated creatures live.

Feathers and bird droppings almost covered the ground, among them were some mutated creature bones left after the failed battles. This place was like a rich treasure house, and Luo Yuan could find materials of almost any grade.

Luo Yuan picked up a few bright cyan tail feathers that were almost two meters long. After becoming an evolutionary, he could vaguely feel the power of attributes. The power of the earth is thick and the water is moist, and these feathers contain a With the power of lightness, he used an identification technique.

"Tail Feather of a Stormbird"

"Rarity: dark blue."

"Weight: 30g."

"Additional ability: balanced airflow.

"Comment: The Stormbird is a strange mutant creature. It hates storms by nature. Whenever a storm comes, you can always see its figure chasing the storm. It is born with the ability to calm the storm, and this ability is fully reflected in the feathers. It has a small amount of wind-type active energy."

A look of joy flashed across Luo Yuan's face. Except for the Saber, his other equipment was still at the blue level, and some of them couldn't keep up with the pace. Thought but found it here.

Luo Yuan paid more attention to the feathers on the ground, and then found a few of the same ones.

In addition, he also found several other dark blue feathers, but very few had attributes. Of the six feathers, only one had attributes, and it was of the fire type, but Luo Yuan still put it away.

The west is located on a plateau, the air is thin, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, and it is very cold at night. In addition, these tents can't keep out the cold at all. He has a strong physique and may be fine, but ordinary people may not be able to. With this kind of feathers, whether it is synthetic It is very suitable for quilt or underwear.

"Look, there is a fruit over there?" Cao Lin suddenly suppressed her excitement.

Luo Yuan raised his head and looked for it for a while, only to see a head-sized fruit hidden in layers of leaves tens of meters above his head, with green and red surfaces, very attractive.

But this fruit has obviously been eyed by people. A huge green mutated bird stood motionless like a stone sculpture on a branch not far away. There, while vigilantly watching the surrounding situation.

Since the end of the world, he has rarely seen plants bearing fruit. Even the artificially cultivated corn in the past had a pitifully low fruiting rate. Even for this huge giant tree, except for this fruit, he could hardly see other fruits at a glance. Of course, Luo Yuan guessed that it might be hidden in the leaves.

The fruit that can be targeted by such a powerful creature, you don't need to think about how precious it is.

There was a flash of thought in Luo Yuan's heart, but he quickly restrained the greed in his heart. This giant bird of the gods is obviously not so easy to mess with. Besides, there are so many ordinary people here. Many people will definitely die in time, and Luo Yuan doesn't care about the others, but Huang Jiahui, Wang Xiaguang and Wang Shishi, the death or injury of any of them will make him unacceptable.

At this time, he was shocked to find that the fruit suddenly matured at an unbelievable speed, from half green to not red, it quickly turned into a bright red, and a strange fragrance wafted out.

"Don't look at it, let's go, go to the front fortification." Luo Yuan said solemnly, he felt a little uneasy, this fruit is the source of right and wrong, such a strong fragrance, it is estimated that it will soon attract other mutated creatures, he I saw that even the monitor lizard had raised its head, staring at the fruit above its head.

Affected by the fragrance, everyone's expressions were intoxicated, and they wished to smell more. They couldn't react for a while, but at this moment another giant red and yellow bird shot towards this side like a sharp sword.

The next moment, there was a high-pitched eardrum-piercing scream from the top of the head, and two giant birds kept biting and rolling in the sky, and even the air began to become extremely violent.

Only then did everyone wake up like a dream, their faces changed drastically, and they ran desperately towards the fortifications in front.

Luo Yuan ran a few steps, and found that the giant lizard did not follow, and still looked up eagerly. He was so angry that his temples thumped, and he ran back quickly, trying to wake it up, but suddenly a message came from his mind. The prompt of the system task: "E+ level task, capture the fruit of the Tianzhu tree!"

"Grass!" Luo Yuan cursed secretly, suddenly a bad thought came to his mind.

Sure enough, because the battle above the head was too fierce, one of the giant birds' wings accidentally slapped on the branch of the giant tree. The branch was quite strong and bounced a few times, but it didn't break! But the ripe fruit fell, and the two battling giant birds couldn't react in time, they could only watch it fall from beside them, and by the time they wanted to dive down, it was already too late.

The monitor lizard seemed to tremble with excitement, roared loudly, spread its limbs and rushed towards the fruit frantically, licked it with its tongue, and was swallowed by it.

Seeing that the situation was already like this, Luo Yuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and take over the task. The next moment, the system sent a notification that the task was completed. This task was completed at an unprecedented speed, and it was almost completed immediately, but for Luo Yuan, this task has not started at all.

The dark blue-level green giant bird that had been waiting beside the fruit was out of anger. It screamed high-pitched, gave up its previous opponent, and pointed its finger at the monitor lizard that ate it. Suddenly, there was a strong wind in the sky, and a giant bird fell from the sky like a meteorite.

The monitor lizard raised its head to the sky and roared again and again. Some time ago, the giant lizard fought with other mutant beasts almost every day, and had already accumulated rich combat experience. Seeing the giant bird rushing down at high speed, it didn't panic at all, until the moment the giant bird pounced, its body dodged and narrowly avoided the attack.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

The giant bird's claws flew into the air, grabbing a hole with a diameter of more than two meters on the road surface of the expressway.

Luo Yuan was so nervous that he didn't even pay attention to the system task completion prompt. He hurriedly put the backpack full of short spears behind him on the ground. Seeing that the giant bird hadn't fully taken off, he quickly picked up a few and sprinted forward.

The high-speed moving body has turned into a series of afterimages. After a second, his speed has reached its peak. At this time, the giant bird is about to take off again. He shouted, all the muscles in his body swelled, and raised Picking up the short spear, in an instant, he shot at the giant bird with all his strength.

The explosive power of the human body is not just strength, but the product of agility and strength. Luo Yuan is fifteen times that of an ordinary person, almost superhuman.

The powerful explosive force allowed the short spear to break through the sound barrier in an instant, and a small conical sonic boom cloud even appeared at the front end of the short spear.

Just in an instant, the giant bird that just flew into the air was directly hit by the short spear, and the instant momentum exploded on it like a bomb. Knocked to the ground, it screamed in horror and flapped its wings, trying to fly again.

But then another short spear bombarded it, and a large number of feathers were blown away.

Next, the short spears were like missiles, one after another, without stopping for a moment, until the fourth spear, the giant bird could no longer maintain its balance, its body tilted, and fell heavily to the ground.

Even if it is a rhinoceros with strong defense before the end of the world, Luo Yuan is confident that his short spear can completely penetrate it. But in the face of this dark blue-level mutant bird, it was still not enough. Although it was a little embarrassed, except for a few feathers, it didn't have any wounds on its body.

Its wings are flapping crazily. The high-standard concrete ground of the highway, under the flapping of its wings, is like a crumbly biscuit, which is constantly crushed, and the gravel is flying around. late.

The monitor lizard quickly pounced on it, biting the giant bird's slender neck with one bite, and the next moment it rolled and tore like a crocodile frantically, without giving it a chance to fight back.

Whether it is before or after the end of the world, no matter how ferocious birds are fighting land creatures, once they land, it means death. Even if the level of the monitor lizard was one level lower than that of the giant bird, it still had the upper hand at this time. Under its terrifying bite force, the giant bird's slender cervical vertebrae instantly snapped.

At this moment, the giant bird's struggle was just an instinctive counterattack.

A few seconds later, the giant bird's head was completely torn off by the monitor lizard's mouth, and blood flowed out. The giant lizard stood up after the giant bird gradually died down. Luo Yuan saw that apart from a few scratches on its chest, there was no harm on its whole body.

To the monitor lizard, those few scratches were nothing more than skin injuries, and they healed within a few days.

The other giant red and yellow bird that was fighting just now had been circling in the sky before. Seeing that the giant green bird was dead, it finally flapped its wings and flew away.

Luo Yuan withdrew his gaze. This battle went unexpectedly smooth. From the beginning to the end, in less than half a minute, one man and one beast cooperated with each other, and a dark blue creature was killed. Before he knew it, Luo Yuan had become so powerful. .

This time the giant lizard had no interest in the flesh and blood of the giant bird that had just died. It walked aside, roaring non-stop, and frequently stepped on its limbs. There was a glimmer of light in its eyes, and its energy seemed to Almost overflowing, some abnormal excitement.

Only then did Luo Yuan remember that it had swallowed a fruit before. He didn't know what effect that fruit had, but obviously this state must have been caused by that fruit.

He opened the attribute panel and found that the monitor lizard had been upgraded. This time, the experience it received accounted for the vast majority, almost reaching 80%. A large amount of experience directly upgraded it to a level. Then he looked at the status of the monitor lizard. , Unfamiliar words appeared on it.

"Evolving..."

Luo Yuan suddenly looked at the monitor lizard, with a hint of joy on his face, he did not expect that the monitor lizard had finally evolved.
