Chapter 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. Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com
Still not enough endurance...
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...
