Creatures evolved in a variety of ways. Most of them developed in the direction of greater strength, faster speed, and higher energy fusion. Of course, there were a few ferocious beasts that developed strange abilities, such as the Nightmare Beast that could drag people into nightmares.
After a few days of observation, Luo Kai determined that the old man was not a human, but a ferocious beast that evolved from a rat. The direction of its evolution was different from other ferocious beasts. It developed in the direction of anthropomorphization.
Rats could be said to be one of the most successful creatures on Earth. Whether it was the polar regions or the barren deserts, they could be found. At the same time, they were also parasitic animals in human society. After years of contact, human behavior and methods were firmly engraved in their genes.
The subjective will of life affected the genes of the body, and it would always evolve in the direction that it thought was the strongest. Legends said that some animals that lived for a long time could cultivate and gradually become able to understand human language. They were the best at charming people and could even transform into human form.
The old man's strength was average, but he could transform into a human form through the transformation of his bones and muscles. At the same time, he could also command a group of rats and collect information for him. Because of this, there were often stray cats that followed the scent of rats here.
Its behavior, language, and aura were no different from humans. It was also extremely smart. It could learn physical skills, use firearms, and grow food and vegetables. Even human physical masters could not tell that it was a ferocious beast.
In addition, Luo Kai also found the reason why he could sense it. It was because there was a basement in this small courtyard. There was a white bone of a ferocious beast's arm that he had snatched back in the castle. Every night, the old man would transform into a rat. After transforming, his teeth were very sharp. No matter how hard he tore, he could actually grind off some bone powder from the bone of the ferocious beast.
…
Time flew by, and it was summer. This year's summer was a little unusual. The weather was different from the hot and dry weather of previous years. Instead, it was a little cold.
Three men in tight clothes carefully shuttled through the cemetery. The cemetery was quiet, and the noise of insects in the past had disappeared. Only the faint moonlight shone on the ground. It was so quiet that it was a little scary.
A bleak and cold wind blew past, and the three of them couldn't help but shiver. One of them, a big man with a full beard, asked carefully, "Big Brother, is there really a treasure here?"
The leader was a man with a face full of scars. He lowered his voice and replied, "In the war with the Sea Race last year, those who died were buried here. It is said that there were even physical trainers who died in the battle. Not to mention other things, just some damaged firearms and armor can be sold for a lot of money."
"Hehe, then we're rich."
The three of them walked to a tomb that had been washed away by the rain, ready to try their luck first. The last thin man, who had been following behind them, suddenly pointed at the grass and said in horror, "What the hell is that?"
Unknowingly, countless small green dots had appeared in the dark weeds by the roadside. At the same time, a rustling sound could be heard from the surroundings.
The three of them widened their eyes and saw clearly what the little green dots were. The hairs on their bodies stood on end. It was a rat, a dense swarm of rats!
"Squeak … squeak." Shrill squeaks could be heard as the rats swarmed towards the three of them like a black carpet.
"Run!" The leader, the scar-faced man, shouted in a trembling voice.
Before he could finish his sentence, a dark shadow in the grass had already pounced on him. He didn't even have time to scream before his neck was bitten off.
It was a giant rat the size of a domestic dog. The remaining two people's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. They screamed together and ran away. The giant rat was as fast as lightning and attacked the bearded man, pouncing on him.
"Ah!" A shrill scream could be heard as the bearded man was immediately drowned by the rats.
The last person also suffered the same fate as the bearded man. The sound of gnawing could be heard, and when the rats dispersed, only three skeletons were left.
Luo Kai opened his eyes in the tomb. In the past, his perception of the outside world was like a radar. He used his spiritual power to scan and summarize the feedback information and calculate the changes in the scene. But now, as long as his heart felt something, the nearby scene would immediately be reflected in his mind. The scene of the rats gnawing on the food was vivid in his mind.
He left the tomb and walked towards the small courtyard where the old man was. Under the moonlight, the old man was squatting at the door and smoking a pipe. When he saw Luo Kai, he was stunned because Luo Kai was completely naked. His skin was as white as a baby's. He asked with concern, "Young man, what's wrong with you? Are you lost?"
Luo Kai didn't care about his nakedness. He said lightly, "I'm leaving. I was going to spare your life, but now it seems that there's no need for that."
The old man's eyes flickered slightly. Nothing in the cemetery could escape his eyes and ears. Judging from the young man's words, he seemed to have lived here for a long time. He had been lurking in human society for hundreds of years and cultivated the human body arts. Although his combat strength was not strong, according to the human classification, he was a fully maturing Direbeast. He was very sensitive to danger and felt a sense of danger in his heart. He slowly took a few steps back and made two undetectable sounds from his throat.
In the dark cemetery, spots of green light lit up. As if they had received some kind of order, a black carpet rushed towards Luo Kai. There was also a giant rat the size of a domestic dog among them.
Luo Kai waved his hand impatiently, and a tornado rose from the ground. It spun rapidly and squeezed. Whether it was the giant rat or a normal rat, they were all sucked in and were instantly torn into a rain of blood.
The old man's small eyes were filled with fear. His wrinkled face began to bulge forward, and his mouth slowly lengthened. He turned into a monster with a rat's head and a human's body. He ran away in a flash. After transforming, he no longer looked like an old man. His whole body turned into a black shadow, and he was extremely fast.
Unfortunately, it was facing a power that transcended levels. Luo Kai pointed a finger at it, and ripples appeared in the void. The rat-faced monster's body seemed to have been hit by countless heavy hammers, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard. It was not long before it turned into a pile of meat paste.
As if he had solved a trivial matter, Luo Kai walked into the house and removed the wooden planks on the ground. A large dark hole was revealed. Entering the basement, the complete beast arm bone had been gnawed to a smaller size, but it still emitted a charming luster.
Luo Kai quietly thought for a while. His Beckoning the Moon Sword and Mo Ze Xiao were gone. These two weapons were not ordinary. They should not have been melted by the purple flame. Someone must have taken them.
His newborn body was similar to a normal person's. His combat power was completely dependent on his tyrannical spiritual power. Although it was ferocious, it consumed a lot of energy and recovery was very slow. If he encountered a long and high-intensity battle, he would still need to use his body arts. He needed to get a weapon.
After thinking for a while, he decided to use this complete beast arm bone to make a weapon. It didn't need to be too powerful, just hard enough.
