With sheer force, Wu Youren completely dissipated the remaining Weird Qi contained within the Knight Weird!

Another huge wave of experience points gained!

He had previously thought that the Weird Transformation Knight would be easier to kill, and it turned out to be true.

If it's a misty, free-flowing Knight Weird, its Weird Qi, without the constraint of a physical body, dissipates too easily, making it harder to kill.

What's especially fortunate is that he managed to kill this Weird Race without making much of a commotion!

It's not that there was absolutely no sound, but those insignificant noises were drowned out by the sound of the rain.

Most importantly: this Weird Race didn't even have a chance to let out a wail!

Concealed by the sound of rain, the other Weird Race did not notice the battle taking place there.

Could he now focus solely on killing the Weird Transformation martial artists? Wu Youren couldn't help but be slightly distracted.

However, these are not his concerns right now. He should first check what's left in the car.

Unfortunately, he didn't dare throw the light stick out and could only explore it manually, bit by bit.

He fumbled around for less than half a minute, and the metal spheres stopped playing one after another, the influence on the Weird Race gradually decreasing.

Gradually, order began to return to normal, and the restless, Weird Qi gradually subsided.

However, there was a slight hiccup; a few Weird Qi were at odds with each other and began to harass one another.

Wu Youren didn't pay attention to these things; he focused solely on finding various supplies.

It could be said that he brought this upon himself; he could have easily taken his backpack with him when he left the patrol point during the day.

But Wu Youren felt that there wasn't much left in his backpack, so he might as well just walk away... wouldn't that be more dashing?

If they tug at each other and then can't move, wouldn't that turn into a Korean drama?

He strongly disliked that effeminate feeling.

Moreover, if he were to leave with a large backpack, it would be quite inconvenient for both traveling and fighting.

In short, escaping is his primary need; everything else can take a backseat.

Now that he has begun to live independently, he needs to consider collecting various resources for survival.

It was right not to bring anything back then; gathering supplies now is fine too, the time, place, and circumstances are all different.

Several wisps of Weird Qi Weird Qi were still entangled there, but some were also returning to their original positions.

Wu Youren silently explored for about ten minutes and felt... he had gained quite a lot.

Now, the area around him is filled with Weird Qi, and it's not as quiet as before, but leaving silently is also quite difficult.

However, he wasn't in a hurry. The night was still long, and he would patiently wait for his opportunity.

But those eerie, cold Weird Qi drift by, and most of the time you just brush past them. It feels like... you still need a strong heart.

However, just as he was suffering, he faintly heard the sounds of gunfire and explosions in the distance.

Clearly, this is a counterattack from the human race; he is not fighting alone.

The Weird Qi around them... reacted rather calmly, as if they were just watching the show from the sidelines.

Wu Youren could guess the logic behind it; it wasn't that something had happened to the Weird Race, but simply because they were too far from the battlefield!

The absolute distance wasn't very far, but there were too many Weird Qi in between, which effectively served as a barrier.

Among those Weird Qi, there were many that even Wu Youren would avoid at all costs.

As time went on, the gunfire became more frequent and the explosions grew louder.

Could it be that the Great Liang has begun its counterattack?

Wu Youren couldn't help but recall what the Martial Academy had said a couple of days ago: So now, the time has come?

However, this... has little to do with him. What does the saga of Liang have to do with the people of Jin?

He huddled beside a car wheel, watching the scene unfold indifferently, silently chanting in his mind: Hit harder.

The more chaotic the situation, the easier it is for him to escape!

However, he doesn't think the situation can escalate much.

The reason is simple: if Liang had paid enough attention, or had a stronger ability to coordinate its resources, how could it have developed to this point?

Of course, these are just his personal guesses and should not be taken seriously.

However, a dozen minutes later, seven or eight bright lights suddenly burst out in the air.

The light appeared abruptly, but it wasn't particularly glaring at first.

But the speed at which the light surged was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, a dazzling array of multicolored light burst forth in the air.

There are yellow, red, blue... but the most common are white and silver.

" Great Knight, have you finally decided to make a move?" Wu Youren's lips twitched slightly.

This kind of momentum is something that Knight could never create.

Of course, above the Great Knight are the Divine Might Knight.

However, he couldn't imagine what kind of earth-shattering scene would occur if that being made a move.

In short, now that the Great Knight of Liang have made their move, and not just one or two, he can be considered to have witnessed it, right?

Great Knight- level attack unfolded, unleashing a massive surge of Weird Qi...

Wu Youren had no prior knowledge of the subject, and the battle in the distance was quite chaotic, making the scene difficult to describe.

However, there is no doubt that the main battlefield is over there. The area where he is located is basically a place where you won't die if you don't court death!

At this point, choosing to play it safe is the right thing to do; there's no need to overthink it.

This wave of attacks was quite prolonged, with the orbs of light rising and falling in waves, seemingly lasting forever.

More than an hour later, Wu Youren began to secretly lament: his body's heat was not quite enough.

I ate quite a lot at noon, but I haven't eaten for over ten hours now.

Adding to the problem was the rain; his wet clothes were constantly dripping water, and he felt like he was on the verge of hypothermia.

If he could transfer his inner energy, this small problem would be no problem at all; he had also accumulated a considerable amount of experience points at the moment.

Unfortunately, it's really inconvenient.

He regretted it a little; if he had known it would turn out this way, he shouldn't have left the raincoat at noon...

Let's not talk about that anymore; it's in the past. At the very least, we should have eaten some raw python meat earlier!

Fortunately, as time went by, things changed.

The Weird Qi surrounding him began to flow, drifting in wisps towards the battlefield, its density gradually decreasing.

Wu Youren secretly hoped that the opposing Great Knight could hold out a little longer!

Another half hour passed, and he felt it was time to prepare to leave.

However, he encountered some minor troubles while gathering the supplies; his hands and feet were a bit stiff and he couldn't move very nimbly.

He thought for a moment and decided to circulate some of his internal energy to improve his blood circulation, and also... as a test.

However, once the test began, he couldn't stop himself; the aura he was channeling gradually intensified.

Only when the rate at which the Weird Qi was dissipating began to slow down did he decisively reduce his internal energy again.

Even so, an idea popped into my head again, uncontrollably: Could internal energy be converted into Battle Qi?

When he feels relatively safe, a series of whimsical ideas always come to him.

As his internal energy decreased, the rate at which his Weird Qi was being lost began to slowly increase again.

Clearly, the noise from his internal energy circulation had increased, alerting the Weird Qi. Fortunately, he made a timely change.

After a while, the Weird Qi dissipated faster and faster. He quietly put away his belongings and carefully left, stumbling along the muddy path.

He won't wait until the safest time to evacuate.

Because he was unsure if that time would come, he believed in moderation and that there was no need to pursue perfection.

The danger level was significantly reduced during the return process.

Most of the Weird Qi were drawn to the battle in the distance.

The faint afterglow emitted by those attack orbs could illuminate some of the terrain, making it easier for him to travel.

Wu Youren spent half an hour retreating back into the cave, and then moved a large rock to block the entrance.

The supplies they brought back this time were quite substantial, including fuel cans, small car batteries, firearms, and a large backpack.

It was practically all the supplies that the Weird Transformation Knight.

Actually, he could take a lot of things off that SUV, such as wires and rails.

However, there's no need for that right now; enough is enough. He doesn't know how long he can stay here.

He brought back the oil stove from the car and started grilling the python meat directly on the grill.

While waiting, he also channeled his inner energy, directly using his True Qi to dry the clothes.

The True Qi dried the clothes quickly. After the clothes were completely dry, he set up a few warning mechanisms, and the python meat was ready.

The meat wasn't fully cooked, and some parts were burnt, but there was no time to worry about that at the moment.

Wu Youren used his True Qi to vibrate the area once, ensuring that there were no surviving parasites or eggs inside, which was sufficient.

A five-meter-long python, as thick as a calf, was nothing more than a meal for him.

Although I was full, I wasn't stuffed, which shows how much energy I had used up that day.

Then he took stock of his gains, roughly categorized them in his mind, and figured out where he should use them.

He then stepped out of the cave to observe the battle further, confirming that the fighting was still intense.

Even the Weird Qi not far from the cave entrance began to surge in that direction.

It should be safe in the short term! Wu Youren did not continue to watch the battle, but returned to his cave to continue meditating.

Without Cynthia and the other person, he focused all his energy on circulating his internal energy, striving to digest the experience points as quickly as possible.

My meridians started to ache again. All the hard work and rest I put in these past few days has been for naught.

Wu Youren strongly suspects that such intense training may leave some hidden health problems.

But did he have a choice?

He's not just ruthless to others; you can't stand firm if you're not ruthless. Survival is the right path.

Before he knew it, several hours had passed. Wu Youren felt his meridians were about to give out, so he slowly stopped.

Then he began trying to open up the Greater Celestial Circuit and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, which is quite an interesting topic.

Just as he was trying to open the Yang Qiao Meridian, he suddenly had a sudden impulse and dissipated all the True Qi in his body.

He held his breath and crept closer to the cave entrance, carefully sensing the mechanisms outside.

The next moment, a mechanism was triggered, producing a soft sound, followed by a tumbling of rocks.

This was used as a warning; the stones weren't large, but the noise they made when they rolled down was considerable.

Then there was silence, a deathly stillness all around.

However, not long after, a faint but powerful pressure swept over.
