Luo Kai had a rare dream again. The scene in the dream was chaotic. A breeze, a handful of soil, a pool of water … everything seemed to be contained in it.
After waking up, the feeling in the dream was not enough. What followed was pain, a numbing pain. He checked his body and found that it was better than expected.
Although his body was severely injured, as long as his crystallized torso was not damaged, his other body parts could be reconstructed indefinitely. His consciousness was not assimilated by the evil energy either.
However, the violent evil energy in his body had disappeared without a trace. His body was empty, and there was no energy to be used.
Carefully sensing his body, Nie Yan sensed that there was a cold whirlpool of energy in his abdomen that was constantly dissipating the evil energy in his body. This whirlpool of energy seemed to be the dagger that the woman had used. Its properties were somewhat similar to the Severing Edge. Both of them could transform between material and particle energy. The only difference was that the Severing Edge carried the power of space, while this dagger carried the power of darkness.
Light was only for a moment, while darkness was eternal. The characteristic of the power of darkness was to disintegrate all energy. It was this dagger that minimized the effect of the evil energy on him. Fortune and misfortune came hand in hand. He had originally planned to give up on his body, but now it seemed that he could still use it.
He opened his eyes and found that the world had returned to its original appearance. The white snow mountain in the distance, the green grassland below him, and the rippling lake in front of him. The dazzling and colorful world had returned.
Recalling the dream just now, he understood that it might be because his mental state had improved again. Just like strength training, every overdraft would increase the upper limit of one's strength. It was the same for mental power. Every overdraft would increase the upper limit. The mental realm was vast and boundless. It was the only power that was not limited by the level of life. It could transcend the barriers of species and could sense things in different time and space. The scene in his dream was like that.
Unfortunately, although the upper limit of his mental power had increased, there was nothing in it. The overdraft this time was too severe. It was even more severe than the last time at the Dragon Shark Camp.
Thirteen's corpse was beside him. It was still lifeless, and the faint flowing light on the surface of his body was getting dimmer. His situation was not good. His consciousness was still there, but he was trapped in the inherited memory of the Bodhi Sarira and could not wake up for a long time. There seemed to be nothing he could do now. He could only wait for his mental power to recover.
This was a small valley under a snowy mountain. The lake water was very clear, reflecting the snowy mountain beside it into the water. The mountains and rivers were connected, and the scenery was extremely beautiful.
The trees on the shore were green and the water was tender. Groups of herbivores of all kinds were nibbling on the grass. A goat with a huge horn was gradually approaching. When it saw Luo Kai, it immediately raised the horn on its head in a show of force. Strands of green light immediately flickered on its horn.
Luo Kai was too lazy to pay attention to it. He took a deep breath and looked at the snowy mountain and grassland in front of him. The gloominess in his heart was swept away.
After a while, a group of giant white wolves came to the lake. They were all the size of calves, and their canine teeth were as sharp as daggers. They were all in the growth stage.
The strange thing was that the herbivores by the lake were not afraid of the wolves at all. They just gathered together and watched vigilantly while continuing to eat the grass.
The wolves did not show any signs of attacking. They carefully approached the lake. When they saw Luo Kai, they did not dare to approach. Animals' senses were far more sensitive than humans'. They instantly realized that this human in front of them was not to be trifled with.
Luo Kai glanced at them. He started a bonfire on the shore and built a small wooden house. He dragged Thirteen into the house. There were ferocious beasts everywhere. It did not look like a human area. He did not know where the Sky Breaking Bird had taken him.
After a while, the wolves felt that this human was not a threat. They carefully ran to the side of the lake to drink water.
Before the sun set, another strange looking ferocious beast came. This ferocious beast was five to six meters tall when it stood upright. It was majestic and mighty. Its huge body was like a bear, but it had an ape's face. It looked like the legendary human bear.
After the ape-faced ferocious beast came, it immediately roared. Layers of ripples appeared in the air, as if thunder had struck in the void. The ferocious beasts by the lake all fled in fear. It was satisfied and was about to nibble on the grass on the ground. Suddenly, it realized that there was still a human who had not left. It immediately roared at Luo Kai again, as if to announce that this was its territory.
Luo Kai liked the environment here very much. He was not willing to back down. He put his hands on his waist and roared like the black bear. In comparison, his roar did not have the slightest trace of deterrence. It was more like a friendly greeting.
The ape-faced ferocious beast revealed a human-like expression. Its sharp claws dug into its nostrils. It seemed to feel that Luo Kai's upright posture was very similar to its own kind. It then bent down and nibbled on the grass by the lake. Its big barbed tongue curled and pulled a large piece of grass up by the roots, swallowing it whole.
Luo Kai also felt a little hungry. He walked to the front of the small lake and suddenly reached out his hand. A big fat fish covered in thorns was immediately caught in his hand. He skillfully removed the thorns and removed the internal organs. He then roasted it over the fire.
The brown bear smelled the fragrance and hurried over. It looked at the big fat fish on the bonfire and drooled. It had been coveting the big fat fish in the lake for a long time. It was just that the fish in the lake was full of thorns, so it could not eat it.
When the fish was cooked, Luo Kai tore the meat and ate it in big bites. His eyes glanced at the ape-faced ferocious beast. He smiled and threw the half-tailed fish to it.
The brown bear immediately jumped up and swallowed it. It smacked its big mouth and looked at him with a hopeful expression.
Luo Kai spread out his hands, indicating that he did not have any more. He was weak now and could not go into the water to catch fish.
The brown bear licked the corner of its mouth and continued to nibble on the grass on the ground.
Luo Kai quietly looked at it for a while. The more he looked, the stranger he felt. This brown bear looked too much like a human. Except for its super strong body, it was exactly the same as a human. The bulging chest under the fur, the limbs and palms, and all the other organs were exactly the same as a human's.
He thought of the group of wild monkeys he saw in the Subduing Beast Valley. They had undergone the phenomenon of atavism. Then, did this brown bear also undergo the phenomenon of atavism?
After observing for a while, he could still distinguish the features of a woman from the fine facial features covered by the fur of the brown bear. He had an answer in his heart. This "brown bear" was indeed a human.
In the past, the evolution or degeneration of a species could not be done overnight. This era was different. Natural selection, survival of the fittest. Compared to the fragile human body, it was indeed very strong now. According to the classification of ferocious beasts, it was estimated that it was already in the growth period. Its fighting power should be far above that of a Physique Warrior. It would not be easily killed by ferocious beasts like ordinary humans.
Now that a new food chain had been formed, the plants were the most affected by the star energy. The weeds and trees at the bottom grew very lush and could already afford to raise those huge ferocious beasts. Moreover, the top level ferocious beasts may not only rely on food, but the main way to maintain the operation of life was energy conversion, which was to directly absorb the star energy and convert it into the biological energy they needed.
The brown bear ate until the evening before it left trembling. Before it left, it roared at Luo Kai. It was unknown whether it was a threat or a goodbye.
Luo Kai secretly sighed. What kind of experience would make a human degenerate into a beast?
A crescent moon climbed into the sky. The lake was quiet. Luo Kai threw away his messy thoughts and lay on the grass by the shore. His heartbeat gradually decreased and he gradually entered a state of deep sleep.
