With Luo Kai there, they naturally wouldn't encounter any danger. Now, he was almost like a human-shaped ferocious beast. Not only could he intimidate other species, but he could even command them.
In front of them, a group of mutated wild dogs and a few big wild boars were confronting each other. With the arrival of Luo Kai, they all fell to the ground in panic, their huge bodies trembling.
Animals were far more sensitive than humans. Even if Luo Kai didn't deliberately emit pressure, they could still feel the breath of a superior life form.
Luo Kai gently waved his hand, and the animals seemed to have received some kind of permission. They carefully retreated until they were far away, and then they began to flee in all directions.
Everyone looked at everything in front of them, stunned. They looked at Luo Kai with even more awe.
After walking for about two hours, they left the familiar place. The surrounding environment became more and more unfamiliar, and more and more frightening. The traces of human civilization were completely covered by plants. Countless colorful nameless poisonous insects flew in the forest, and the fog lingered. In a trance, they thought they were in a tropical rainforest. If it weren't for Luo Kai's leadership, the wilderness would be a land of death for them.
The team was full of old and weak women and children. They walked and stopped. When it was almost dark, a dilapidated small town appeared in front of them. All kinds of vines and plants occupied almost all the space. Only through some dilapidated buildings could they see that this used to be a human city.
With the arrival of the crowd, the surrounding weeds and bushes rustled from time to time. A large number of strange insects were disturbed and fled in all directions.
Everyone was a little frightened. Luo Kai said without changing his expression, "Let's find a place to rest."
Uncle Yan nodded. He was an experienced hunter for many years and was best at identifying the dangers in the jungle. This small town seemed dangerous, but in fact, there weren't any particularly powerful mutated animals.
They found a sturdy building and lit a bonfire to disperse all kinds of insects and moisture. After a day's journey, coupled with the old and weak bodies, they quickly fell asleep.
Late at night, Xiao Fan curled up beside Uncle Yan. His big bright eyes stared straight at the bonfire. Suddenly, he asked in a low voice, "Uncle … Uncle Yan, mom is back … can she find … me?"
Uncle Yan sighed softly, "Your mom is very capable. She can definitely find us!"
"Oh." Xiao Fan nodded lightly and curled up to sleep.
It was drizzling outside again. Luo Kai's consciousness had already hovered above the Ninth Heaven along with the rain. Only by understanding the law of meteorological changes could he make use of it. The reason for the heavy rain was because of the cold current last time. When the warm and humid air from the ocean met with the cold air from the land, it formed an endless rain. If it continued to rain like this, Noah's Ark would reappear before any other cataclysm.
"Hehe …" A sharp laugh came from outside. It sounded like the laughter of an elderly woman.
Luo Kai frowned. There were a lot of these things, and he had killed at least seven or eight of them.
"Jiejie …" Another sound rang out. This time, it was incomparably clear, as if it was right in front of them. It was eerie, sharp, and filled with malice and mockery, causing their hearts to itch and their scalps to go numb.
Everyone woke up and gathered around the bonfire, trembling in fear.
Luo Kai was about to get up when Thirteen, who was beside him, rushed out with golden light in his eyes.
Soon, a shrill scream was heard. Thirteen walked back with a half-meter long thing full of black roots that looked like ginseng. The golden light in his eyes faded again, and he handed the thing in his hand to Luo Kai in a daze.
Although Thirteen had lost his consciousness, he had not lost his demon-subduing instincts from his early years. Once he saw an evil creature, he instinctively attacked.
"Good job, Big Brother."
Luo Kai praised. Then, he compressed his blood and Qi, aimed at the thing, and opened his mouth to spit out a stream of red light. A wave of stench of burnt fur came, and it quickly turned into ashes.
During this time, he had not gained much in terms of static body arts, but he had found a way to generate heat under high pressure. The blood and Qi in his body were like a high-pressure boiler. Once released, the hot air he exhaled reached thousands of degrees, much hotter than ordinary flames.
The next day, everyone set off again. They found a large military truck on the dilapidated road. The soldiers inside were all dead, but the truck could still be driven. This made the journey much easier. The bus was very slow.
If it was in the past, it would only take four to five hours to get to Wuchuan by road. Now, the road was full of weeds and moss, and there were pits and cracks everywhere. The truck had to get off and clear the roadblocks every time it went a certain distance. The role of Brown Bear was highlighted. Luo Kai drove in front, and it pushed the truck from behind without complaint. When it encountered roadblocks, it would use all its strength to remove them. Although it was lazy, it obeyed Luo Kai's every word.
Humans were social animals, and it was difficult to find traces of humans in the wild. After passing through the dense forest and reaching the plains, they began to see humans. Some were in cars, and some were on foot. Their goal was the same as theirs, to go to Wuchuan City.
On the third day, there were more and more cars and pedestrians around them. It became crowded, and the truck had to stop from time to time.
When it was close to noon, a huge city appeared in front of them. The whole city was surrounded by sections of fortifications. There were towering steel bunkers, rows of anti-aircraft artillery, and densely packed construction vehicles were still under construction.
When they arrived, the sky immediately cleared up. The sunlight dispelled the humidity, and also dispelled the haze in people's hearts. Everyone was excited, and a few children smiled for the first time.
Wuchuan was a basin surrounded by the Yunling Mountains. The land was very fertile, and the surrounding mountains were also very rich in resources. It was an important town with a very developed industry and agriculture. As they gradually approached, smoking factories were located on both sides of the road, and the roaring sound was incessant.
A checkpoint stood in front of them, and there were a few lamas standing in the checkpoint, staring at the people entering.
An officer was holding a loudspeaker and constantly lecturing, "My fellow countrymen, I know that you have all gone through hardships to come here. Wuchuan certainly won't stop you from entering, but everyone who comes here must obey the arrangement. No matter who you are, it is the same for physical trainers. If we find you doing evil, the Heavenly Thunder Palace and the military will definitely deal with you severely … Also, those who suffer from Wood Syndrome, please don't panic.
Luo Kai was lost in thought in the car. Skanda was the Grand Duke of Yunling, and it seemed that the remaining lamas of the Heavenly Thunder Palace were all here. There were still many physical trainers in the Heavenly Thunder Palace, and the Universal Bright King and Waterwheel Wisdom King were probably here too. The whole Wuchuan had become their independent kingdom. Once he and Thirteen appeared, they would definitely be discovered by these lamas.
"Uncle Yan, I'll send you here."
Uncle Yan, who was in the front passenger seat, didn't expect the trip to be so smooth. He said with a complicated expression, "Thank you, little brother."
"You're welcome, we'll meet again if fate wills it." Luo Kai asked Brown Bear to get out of the car. Thirteen followed closely behind, and the two men and one beast disappeared into the crowd.
