The Tragic Battlefield

After Luo Yan's off-road vehicle passed.

Another off-road vehicle followed them, passing by the 'Lili'.

That car wasn't as lucky as Luo Yan's.

It was suddenly kicked by the 'Lili'.

The entire car was sent flying, accompanied by screams from inside.

It crashed into the distant woods.

A moment later, an explosion was heard.

It seemed unlikely anyone survived.

Luo Yan looked back.

The 'Lili' had already gotten up and was charging towards the black heavy mecha driven by He Hao.

'Black Thunder's' feet and palms simultaneously spewed blue flames.

This seemingly clumsy mecha instantly created distance between itself and the giant beast.

Then, 'Black Thunder' formed a hand seal.

It used the Profound Technique 'Black Rope' to entangle the giant beast's front legs.

With a strong pull.

The giant beast fell to the ground again, then was dragged away by 'Black Thunder', allowing the vehicles behind to pass.

Just then.

BOOM!

A loud noise.

Luo Yan looked towards the sound.

He saw a Xuanji piloted by a third-year student being flipped over by a 'Lili'.

Immediately after, it was blasted away by the shockwaves from a 'Si-beast' that looked like a water buffalo.

When the mecha finally managed to stabilize itself.

Two giant beasts charged from the left and right.

They smashed the mecha into pieces, scattering parts everywhere, with continuous explosions.

Finally, the pilot ejected from the mecha's head.

Before they could land.

They were caught by the jaws of a wild boar-like 'Lili' and swallowed whole.

This tragic scene.

Left Luo Yan speechless for a long time.

He got back into the car.

Zeng Shan, who was driving, had also seen this scene from the rearview mirror.

"That was brutal."

Zeng Shan shook his head, then continued, "But it's so strange."

"Why did so many giant beasts suddenly appear?"

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and uttered a single word: "Huan..."

Zeng Shan was taken aback.

Then he said.

"Old Luo, you think that Overlord Level giant beast did this?"

Old Luo?

Luo Yan frowned but didn't object.

"That possibility can't be ruled out."

Because of the 'Phoenix Tail Sunflower'.

The 'Huan' had appeared in the safe zone.

It might have indeed noticed the camp.

Furthermore, among the 'Huan's' characteristics was a description of 'Beast Taming'.

Now, with so many giant beasts gathered together.

It was hard to believe it was a coincidence.

It seemed more like they were being driven by something.

Just then.

A roar echoed.

Under stress, Luo Yan activated the 'Obstacle Breaking Dharma Eye'.

The world in his eyes suddenly turned into a simple sketch.

Simple lines depicted the outlines of things.

Luo Yan immediately noticed, in a forest to their left.

A mass of biological gray light was approaching.

"There, there's a Giant Beast!"

Luo Yan pointed to the left.

At that moment, trees in the forest were uprooted.

They flew out like giant spears.

Luo Yan's head was suddenly darkened.

A large tree fell from the sky.

Zeng Shan violently turned the steering wheel.

The off-road vehicle quickly swerved, managing to make the tree fall to the side.

It didn't directly crush the car.

But many branches entangled the off-road vehicle.

Zeng Shan floored the accelerator, the off-road vehicle's wheels smoking.

It couldn't get away.

Just then, a 'Si-beast' with disheveled dark hair, resembling a water buffalo, charged out.

It charged towards them.

"Run!"

Luo Yan made a decisive choice.

He unbuckled his seatbelt.

And jumped out of the off-road vehicle.

As soon as he and Zeng Shan jumped out, the sky above them darkened, and a giant hoof stomped down.

At the brink of life and death.

Luo Yan unleashed his full power.

The Essence Energy within his body surged explosively through his meridians.

Propelling Luo Yan forward.

He narrowly escaped the stomping range just before the giant hoof landed.

Luo Yan glanced back.

The off-road vehicle had already been crushed flat.

He didn't know if Zeng Shan was alive or dead.

Luo Yan couldn't worry about him now.

He turned and ran.

Behind him, the black ox-like Giant Beast had moved on.

It seemed to have just passed by.

But Luo Yan's danger was not over.

A squeaking sound erupted behind him.

Luo Yan looked back and his scalp went numb.

A swarm of Giant Beast parasites was trailing them.

They were parasites resembling green-headed flies.

Each one was about the size of a puppy.

Their bodies were bloated, with many pustules on their backs.

They had wings but couldn't fly.

Yet they crawled rapidly on the ground.

These were parasites from the 'Si-beast': Rotten Flies.

The pustules on their bodies would burst with the slightest stimulation.

Splashing out highly concentrated corrosive liquid.

Furthermore, these creatures liked to lay eggs inside living organisms.

Each time, it could lay hundreds of eggs.

After the eggs hatched into larvae, they would parasitize the host's body, feeding on its flesh and blood.

A swarm of Rotten Flies followed closely behind Luo Yan.

These creatures were different from the Golden Winged Lice; a close-quarters combat strategy wouldn't work.

And now, Luo Yan didn't have a gun on him.

As the Rotten Flies got closer and closer.

Luo Yan activated his 'Obstacle Breaking Dharma Eye', searching for an environment that could save his life.

He hoped to find a cave or something similar.

If he could block the entrance, there would be a high probability of survival.

Just then, he heard the sound of water.

After some searching.

He quickly found a small river.

Luo Yan immediately ran towards the riverbank.

He saw that the river water was surging and flowing extremely fast.

Luo Yan glanced back at the approaching swarm of flies.

Gritting his teeth, he plunged into the river.

Instantly.

He was carried downstream by the current, losing control.

Luo Yan struggled to keep himself afloat.

He looked back.

The Rotten Flies initially chased along the riverbank, but they couldn't match the speed of the water.

After a moment, they were no longer visible.

At this point, Luo Yan tried hard to get to the riverbank, but his attempts failed several times due to the strong current.

Along the way, he also encountered river stones, colliding with them several times.

Each time he collided, Luo Yan had to circulate his Essence Energy in advance, causing his skin to take on a rocky texture.

Only then did he avoid being knocked unconscious.

But then.

Something even more desperate happened.

This small river, which flowed through the forest, eventually led into an underground cave.

Luo Yan desperately tried to get ashore before entering the cave.

Alas, human strength was ultimately no match for the power of nature.

He was eventually swept into the cave by the river.

He bobbed and sank in the water, choking on several mouthfuls of river water.

Fortunately, after passing a sharp bend, the river channel gradually widened.

The current also slowed down.

Luo Yan quickly activated his 'Obstacle Breaking Dharma Eye' and found a shallow area.

A moment later, he lay on the rocky shore.

Soaked through, he could only gasp for air.

He didn't care about anything else.

After a while.

He sat up.

Then he took off his shirt and pants.

To avoid catching a cold from wearing wet clothes.

After wringing out his clothes, Luo Yan continued to use his 'Obstacle Breaking Dharma Eye' to search for an exit.

Soon, he found a cave entrance.

Through the 'Obstacle Breaking Dharma Eye', he saw that this cave led to a more open area.

If he didn't take this path, he only had one other option.

That was to go against the current and leave from where the river came in.

But that was not something he could do at the moment.

Helplessly, Luo Yan had no choice but to enter the cave.

There was no talk along the way.

After spending more than half an hour.

Luo Yan saw a light.

He didn't rush out immediately.

First, he used his 'Obstacle Breaking Dharma Eye' to observe the exit.

As a result, he didn't see any biological gray light, but instead discovered that the space outside the cave.

The Essence Energy density was astonishingly high!
