Two Bad News, Experiment

Lu Yuan hid in a corner, watching the two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles in the distance, his eyes flashing.

Direct confrontation was hopeless, so he could only outsmart them.

He looked at the surrounding environment, thinking about a plan.

Before long, Lu Yuan raised his head to look at the dim yellow sky, then at the top of the Gobi, and then at the surrounding environment, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He had a bold idea.

He came to the stone wall, put away the Blacklight Alloy Sword in his hand, and used both hands and feet to climb towards the top of the stone wall.

The stone wall was steep, and if Lu Yuan was still an ordinary person, it would be impossible for him to climb up.

But Lu Yuan was, after all, a Gene Warrior, and every aspect of his body far surpassed that of ordinary people. His hands and feet were strong, his whole body muscles were coordinated, and his body was agile. In a short time, he climbed up the Gobi, which was thirty to forty meters high.

As soon as his head appeared over the stone wall, he felt the howling wind cover his face. The wind mixed with yellow sand scraped Lu Yuan's face painfully, after all, Lu Yuan's skin wasn't thick enough.

The enormous force made his head tilt directly backward.

Caught off guard, his hands left the stone wall, and his body fell backward.

Lu Yuan felt his arms were empty, his pupils contracted violently, and his heart almost stopped.

A Gobi thirty to forty meters high, even he would be reduced to bones if he fell.

In an emergency, the Blacklight Alloy Sword appeared in Lu Yuan's hand, and he used his waist to stab the alloy sword into the stone wall.

Chih!

The alloy sword sank into the stone wall, and Lu Yuan's right hand supported the alloy sword, which stabilized his body.

Lu Yuan gasped for a few breaths, his eyes still carrying a bit of lingering fear.

"Damn, that scared me! I thought I was done for."

After recovering, he supported his body, exerted all his strength, and climbed onto the Gobi.

The wind and sand in this area were already strong, especially now that he was dozens of meters in the air, the wind was extremely strong.

If he wasn't careful, he might be blown away.

Lu Yuan stabbed the alloy sword in his hand into the ground, and used his feet to stabilize his body.

Even so, Lu Yuan didn't dare to open his eyes, his face stung by the yellow sand.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan was prepared.

The corners of his mouth rose, revealing a smile, and a pair of Goggles appeared in his hand.

This was a tool he bought when he was reading the newbie posts before.

After all, the initial city environments in the Origin Land were very harsh. Stormwind City and Sandstone City were both filled with wind. If he appeared in these two cities, Goggles would be very necessary.

After all, everyone was just newly awakened Apprentice Gene Warriors, not yet to the point where they would be fine even if sulfuric acid got into their eyes.

Lu Yuan put on the Goggles while sighing that he was prescient and well prepared.

As expected of me!

After putting on the goggles, Lu Yuan could open his eyes.

He sized up the surrounding environment.

Because the wind here was too strong, no Graystone Beetles would come to this place.

For Graystone Beetles, eating was eating no matter where, why bother coming to this forsaken place to suffer?

Lu Yuan's gaze swept across, a vast emptiness, the ground above with irregular bumps, everywhere traces of being blown by the gale.

Lu Yuan walked a distance forward, arriving above the U-shaped Gobi Desert dead end.

After arriving above the dead end, Lu Yuan slightly leaned his head, looking downwards.

From above, Lu Yuan could see the two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles below.

Because the distance was too far, the Black-Striped Graystone Beetles became about the size of Lu Yuan's thumb, as was that wooden treasure chest.

While Lu Yuan observed the two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles from the Gobi Desert, the two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles didn't show the slightest movement, still happily enjoying the delicious rocks.

Clearly, even elite-level Black-Striped Graystone Beetles' sensory range couldn't reach Lu Yuan's position.

This put Lu Yuan at ease.

In that case, his next plan would become much simpler.

"Let me see if it's the same as I thought."

The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth rose, revealing a hint of a smile.

He came to a stone pillar next to him, about the thickness of a person's embrace, reached out and grabbed a protruding part of the stone pillar, and easily broke off a piece of stone.

Then Lu Yuan gripped hard, without much effort, the stone turned into fine gravel.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and whistled.

Weathering.

Under such a strong wind, even hard rocks could not resist the power of nature.

Water can wear away stone, let alone a gale?

The plan in Lu Yuan's heart became more complete.

"Let's test the reaction of these two guys."

Lu Yuan looked at the two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles below, raised his eyebrows, and a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

In the next moment, he found a stone that had not yet been weathered, the stone was about the size of a basketball.

Lu Yuan came to the top of the Gobi Desert, a distance away from the Black-Striped Graystone Beetles, then took a deep breath, exerted force with his right hand, and suddenly threw the stone towards the ground about two hundred meters away from the Black-Striped Graystone Beetles.

Bang!

The stone landed on the ground, making a huge noise.

The sound was so loud that the two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles in the distance raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound.

They looked at each other, their antennae vibrating.

A short moment later, the Black-Striped Graystone Beetle on the right charged towards the direction of the sound.

The other Black-Striped Graystone Beetle remained motionless, staying where it was.

Lu Yuan, high above the Gobi Desert, couldn't help but frown slightly at this scene.

There were two bad news.

The first bad news was that such a commotion could only lure away one Black-Striped Graystone Beetle. Even with just one Black-Striped Graystone Beetle remaining, he couldn't get close to the wooden treasure chest.

The second bad news was, wasn't this Black-Striped Graystone Beetle running too fast?!

Lu Yuan compared it, and this guy's speed was forty to fifty percent faster than an ordinary Graystone Beetle.

At this speed, if Lu Yuan was discovered, he could close his eyes and wait for death; even a god couldn't save him.

They both grew up eating rocks, so how could there be such a big difference?

Lu Yuan couldn't figure it out.

Lu Yuan still had a way to solve the second problem, but the first problem was a bit difficult for Lu Yuan.

While Lu Yuan was thinking, the Black-Striped Graystone Beetle that had run out had already arrived at the area where the stones had fallen.

After seeing the gravel on the ground, the Black-Striped Graystone Beetle let out a sharp squeal. It looked up at its surroundings, its antennae twitching, observing the situation around it.

After a moment, the Black-Striped Graystone Beetle didn't find any enemies, its small eyes filled with great doubt.

After squealing a few more times, the Black-Striped Graystone Beetle trotted back.

After the Black-Striped Graystone Beetle returned, Lu Yuan looked at the two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles that had started eating again, thought for a moment, and revealed a smile.

"Let's start the second experiment."

This time, Lu Yuan found two stones the size of basketballs.

He grabbed the stones with both hands and threw them in the left and right directions of the two passages respectively.

Thump thump!

Two more loud noises rang out.

The Black-Striped Graystone Beetles, which had just started eating, raised their heads again, letting out frantic squeals.

Having been disturbed twice in a row, they were obviously not happy.

Their sharp claws slid on the ground, leaving traces on the hard surface.

The two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles looked at each other again, their antennae twitching.

Then this time, the Black-Striped Graystone Beetle on the left rushed out, and the Black-Striped Graystone Beetle on the right stayed behind.

Before long, the Black-Striped Graystone Beetle that rushed out arrived at the first landing point.

Like the previous Black-Striped Graystone Beetle, it first looked at the surrounding situation. After not finding any enemies, it squealed a few times and ran to the second place to take another look. After not finding any enemies in the second place either, the Black-Striped Graystone Beetle let out a frantic squeal.

Squeak squeak squeak!

While squealing, its claws scraped across the gravel on the ground, and its sharp mouthparts tore at the gravel, biting with cracking sounds.

After it finished eating the gravel, it trotted back contentedly.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and began his third experiment.

This time, Lu Yuan directly found three rocks and threw them in three different directions.

Thump thump thump!!

A dull sound came again.

The two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles, who were just about to enjoy a delicious meal, raised their heads at the first moment.

This time, the two Black-Striped Graystone Beetles did not communicate; they screamed and rushed towards the direction from which the sound came at the same time.

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, revealing a smile.

The first problem was solved.

As for the second problem, it was that the Black-Striped Graystone Beetles were so fast.

After luring away the Black-Striped Graystone Beetles, how could he quickly open the wooden treasure chest and then escape?

Lu Yuan already had a plan for this question.
