The main artery above instantly sprayed blood seven or eight meters, and a faint bloody smell filled the air, though the temperature was simply
too low. Once the blood sprayed out and splashed
onto the ground, it rapidly cooled, making it difficult for its scent to spread.
Looking at the enormous creature, she found that it did not resemble the mutant monsters from the beginning of the apocalypse. It looked more like a creature found

It was similar to a sloth from before the apocalypse, only much larger.
After wiping her bloodied blade on the sloth's fur, Yuxuan sheathed it and examined the sloth's

strange... Why does this creature feel
less like a mutation and more like the result of evolution?"
Mutation meant changing into something that no longer resembled the original creature, becoming a mutant.
But although this sloth was enormous, every part of it was consistent with its biological characteristics. To Yuxuan, it felt more like it had
evolved to adapt to its environment.
Thick fur, rapidly circulating blood.
