The next day, Luo Kai entered Wuchuan City first. He specially dressed Brown Bear and Thirteen up. He gave them robes made of animal skin to cover their appearances.
Now that Brown Bear had put on his clothes, he did not look much different from an ordinary person. The only thing that stood out was that he was too fat. His body was growing horizontally, and he looked like a big round block. Thirteen was also becoming more and more muscular. He was tall and sturdy, and the man and beast behind him were like two super bodyguards.
First, he went to the place where Wood Transformation Syndrome was treated. The treatment method was actually not difficult. Everything in the world had its own counter. It was to use a small metal ball with hot radiation energy. Fire was used to counter wood. It could be removed by rubbing the infected part of the patient a few times. However, if the gene invasion had penetrated deep into the organs, it would be more difficult.
There were two sides to every coin. The initial stage of an infectious disease might cause a great disaster. However, after a period of time, the infected person would develop antibodies. After a few generations, the infected person would even fuse with the source of the infection. As for whether it was a blessing or a curse, no one knew.
He walked on the street and unknowingly came to a noisy market. Brown Bear's nose twitched as it barked at him. Its two big palms were pointing inside. It was expressing that it wanted to buy some daily necessities, such as salt, seasoning, and so on.
Luo Kai smiled and walked in. The market was filled with all kinds of strange plants. Surprisingly, there was only one meat stall in the whole market.
The owner of the meat stall was a big fat man. He was holding a boning knife and cutting up the corpse of a wild dog.
The passersby looked at the meat stall with eager eyes, but no one came forward to buy.
Luo Kai walked up and asked, "Boss, how much is this meat?"
The fat man did not raise his head and said, "Twenty thousand star dollars per kilogram."
Luo Kai did not know the current price situation. However, no one was interested in the only meat stall in the market. Obviously, it was not affordable for ordinary people. Ordinary food was better as it could be stored. However, meat was different. Now that most people were concentrated in the big cities, the source of livestock was almost cut off. In the early years in Seongma Province, one kilogram of pork was only a few dozen star dollars. Now, it was in the tens of thousands. The price of meat had increased by a hundred times.
"Where did this meat come from?"
The fat man raised his head and glanced at the two strong bodyguards behind him. His expression softened as he said, "They were caught outside. If you want to buy them, I'll give you a cheaper price."
He turned his head and walked to the other stalls to observe. The prices of most of the vegetables and fruits had also inflated by a hundred times. Moreover, their appearance had also changed greatly. All of them were extremely lush, and he could vaguely see the shadows of a few years ago.
He bought a big watermelon from a fruit stall for Brown Bear. Before he even opened it, he could smell a strong and sweet aroma.
Brown Bear did not seem to have eaten this kind of thing before. He sniffed around the watermelon and did not know how to eat it. Luo Kai brought the watermelon to a secluded place and cut it open. He first gave Thirteen a big piece. Then, he took a piece for himself and took a bite. The sweet aroma went straight to his heart. Brown Bear hurriedly took a bite and immediately cried out in excitement.
After walking around the market, Luo Kai discovered that whether it was the life cycle of the grains, fruits, or vegetables, they had become very long. However, the fruiting rate was much lower. The fruits that were borne were generally very delicious. This was not a good thing. One must know that the instincts of all life were nothing more than survival and reproduction. The two were equal. However, reproduction was no longer the main thing. The ultimate goal of plants was to break away from their original life form, which was evolution.
He could not help but feel a little worried. This would lead to a decrease in food production. At present, the human cities still had a large amount of food reserves. However, what would they do if they ran out? Food was the most important thing to the people. If there was a problem with food, then the agricultural social system would really collapse.
Brown Bear really thought of himself as a chef. He whined and asked Luo Kai to buy some pots and pans, as well as big bags of food. He happily carried them on his body. He remembered that human food was very delicious. After eating meat for a long time in the wild, he had to change to vegetarian food.
Luo Kai did not plan to stay in this city for long. The cult saint Ning Huizhi was extreme in his actions. He would do anything to achieve his goal. It was better to stay away from this kind of person who was both good and evil.
Ning Huizhi had a kind of elixir in his hands that could consolidate energy and prevent the loss of spiritual power. This kind of thing could be said to be the real existence of heaven and earth. Its value was estimated to be no less than that of high-grade genetic medicine. As long as there was an endless supply of this kind of elixir, he would be able to gather physique masters from all over the world. He also had the capital to gather luck. His real purpose should be the same as the Three-Eyed Race, which was to achieve his own success in this world of great strife.
However, everything in the world had to follow the law of conservation of energy. The materials used to make this kind of elixir were definitely not ordinary. It could not be mass produced. Moreover, something with such a powerful effect was likely to have great drawbacks.
…
Not long after Luo Kai left the market, a small car arrived. Pu Guang, Wei Tuo, and a middle-aged woman with a cold face were sitting in the car.
Wei Tuo's injuries were extremely serious. Half of his body was gone, leaving only an arm and a leg. Only an ascetic like him, who specialized in Buddhism's extreme body refining techniques, could survive. However, although his life was saved, his vitality had been greatly overdrawn. His cultivation had dropped to the middle level, and he would not be able to advance in his life. He rolled down the window and looked at the street where Luo Kai had left. He sighed and said, "He's gone."
Luo Kai came to Wuchuan and did not hide. Naturally, he could not hide from the eyes and ears of the Heavenly Thunder Palace. However, the three powerful high-level physique masters and the powerful military of Wuchuan City did not dare to stop him. They could only watch him leave.
The middle-aged woman asked coldly, "Is he really as terrible as you said?"
Wei Tuo smiled bitterly and said, "Senior sister, this person's strength is close to that of a Saint, and I don't think any Saint would dare to fight with him. It's not worth the loss."
The middle-aged woman was Waterwheel Wisdom King of the Heavenly Thunder Palace. She was a water elementalist and ranked in the top three in the human Elementalist Association. She turned her head and looked out of the window. The green light in her eyes was so strong that the air in the whole city instantly became moist. After a moment, she snorted and took a deep breath. She said with a dignified face, "This person is also a water elementalist, and his compatibility with water is not lower than mine!"
"What?" Wei Tuo said in surprise.
Pu Guang, who had been silent with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. Traces of golden light appeared.
For humans, the Elementalist School and the Body Art School were two different systems. The former focused on refining the body. Even with the help of external energy, it was only a supporting role. It was difficult to activate the ability to control the power of heaven and earth. On the other hand, the Elementalist pursued the integration of the consciousness level and external energy. The two paths were different, but they led to the same goal. It was just that human power was sometimes limited. It was already very good to be able to achieve achievements in one path in just one or two hundred years, let alone to advance to the peak of both.
Moreover, they knew that this person was also an Aura Resonator, a Baleful Demon who had been deeply transformed by Aura!
The three of them thought of the same person almost at the same time. They were about to speak at the same time.
At this moment, the light suddenly dimmed, and a faint voice came to their ears, "It's good that you know. In the Era of Great Battles, there will definitely be people who will inherit Fate. This person is very important to us and the entire human race."
Pu Guang pondered for a moment, then looked out of the window and said, "Benefactor Ning, he is also a Baleful Demon. If one day his mind is eroded by Aura, with his strength, it will be difficult to kill him. At that time, the whole world will face a huge disaster. I suggest that you personally kill him now."
"I have already seen him last night. To tell you the truth, I am not sure that I can kill him. Moreover, this person is of the same origin as me. I will not take action. No one knows what will happen in the future, but he is a huge variable. I hope he can bring me a surprise." After a while, the voice came again, seemingly mixed with a hint of excitement.
