Luo Kai passed through the beautiful river valley and grassland, and entered a mountain ridge full of dark black rocks. This mountain ridge was completely different from the lush mountain ridge of the Cloud Ridge. It was rugged and extremely desolate.
The ground was faintly warm, and the air was faintly filled with a sulfur-like choking smell, like a very fine volcanic ash. After inhaling it, it would be very hot. No wonder there were no plants here, it was an active volcano.
The brown bear was obviously very repulsed by this mountain ridge. It sneezed from time to time and whined at Luo Kai, trying to persuade him to change the way.
Luo Kai recalled the map in his mind. This mountain ridge was called Nanhuan Mountain. It was an active volcano and was very large. If he wanted to go around it, he would have to walk a lot more. Moreover, he faintly felt a huge power brewing underground. His heart was moved, and he decided to stay here for a few days.
Although they were walking, their speed was actually very fast. It was estimated that they would arrive at the Blue Sky Plateau in five or six days.
Although there were no plants on the mountain ridge, there were still some mutated animals living there. Most of them were birds and amphibians, and their colors were extremely bright.
There were many lizards with dark red scales on the ground. There were big and small lizards. According to the size of their bodies, the color of their scales was also different. The small ones were about the size of an ordinary dog, and their scales were dark red.
The big ones were nearly two meters tall and four or five meters long. The color of their scales was dark red. They had a long big mouth like two guillotines. Their heads were ferocious, and there were three small round horns on the top of their heads. If they were a little bigger, they would be about the same as the triceratops of the Cretaceous period.
This kind of lizard was the top predator. It had extremely powerful dynamic vision, and its nerve reaction speed was amazing. From extreme stillness to extreme movement, its explosive speed could almost produce a series of phantoms on the spot.
Luo Kai casually killed a few and lit a fire to roast them. Now, he would taste every kind of ferocious beast he killed. The meat was very coarse and poisonous. It tasted like highly concentrated chili. It was very choking and not very tasty.
The brown bear, on the other hand, had a special liking for this kind of lizard meat. It had a very good memory about food and knew that this was the taste of the seasoning in human society, so it carried the lizard carcasses one by one on its shoulders.
This action quickly attracted the attention of a large number of mutated creatures. There was a lack of food in the ridge, and the creatures needed to go out to hunt. At this time, they all smelled the scent of blood. Various colorful birds followed closely in the sky, and a large number of strange amphibians crawled out from the cracks of the rocks on the ground.
After Luo Kai felt it, his eyes flashed with starlight. An invisible pressure was released, and all the creatures that surrounded him immediately scattered in fear.
Climbing up the mountain ridge, the temperature was even hotter, and the smell of sulfur in the air was even heavier. Some of the deep red magma pools were bubbling, and large amounts of highly toxic substances were spewed out. The most dangerous thing about volcanoes was not the high temperature, but the highly toxic substances that were spewed out from underground. If one breathed in too much of it, it was very likely that one would die from organ failure.
Naturally, it did not have much of an impact on them. Luo Kai walked while feeling the rock plates under the ground to see if they were hard and thick. If he practiced static body arts, it was very likely that this active volcano would erupt in advance. He had to find a safe place.
Soon, he found a good place. It was a small ravine with dense red grass. In this active volcano, the place where plants could grow must be the safest place, and it also needed a water source.
In the small ravine, there was a hot spring gushing out from underground. Dense plants grew around the hot spring. The plants had adapted to the high temperature and the highly toxic volcanic ash in the air, and each one was like a crown of fire.
The brown bear was the first to roar and run over. First, it tried to nibble on the red grass that grew around the hot spring, and then it spat it out with a bitter face. It then drank the water from the hot spring in big mouthfuls.
In the past, the brown bear's main food was grass, and it was very fond of eating. After it reached the mature stage, there was no poison that could harm it. Therefore, like Shennong tasting all kinds of grass, every time it came across a plant it had never seen before, it would taste it.
Luo Kai also walked to the side of the hot spring, and looked at the red plants around the hot spring. He tried to communicate with the AI in his body, and the simple information about this plant immediately appeared in his mind. "Fire Thorn Grass, contains a small amount of fire element, high sulfur content, can be used as a catalyst for gunpowder and power furnace, greatly increasing kinetic energy and explosive power. Item level: 1 star."
He was a little surprised. These red grass seemed to be treasures. He casually plucked some and put it into his bag. Just as he started to pluck the grass, he suddenly felt like he was being watched. He turned his head and looked at the mountain pass not far away.
A huge lizard stretched out its body. This lizard was twice as big as the previous one. It was 4-5 meters tall, and its body was nearly 20 meters long. Its whole body was covered in red and black scales, and it was also full of bone spurs. The three black bone spurs on its head were long and protruding, and it looked like a real triceratops. A wild aura came from it, without a doubt, this was a mature vicious beast.
The big lizard was not frightened by Luo Kai's aura at all. Its pair of cold-blooded eyes stared at him. To it, Luo Kai was an intruder. In the world of vicious beasts, the weak were prey to the strong. However, even if it was a complete vicious beast that wanted to occupy its territory, it still had to pay the price in blood.
Luo Kai waved his hand at Thirteen and Brown Bear, telling them to stay away. Then, he slowly pulled out the white bone long blade from his back. He slowly moved, and his aura gradually increased.
The big lizard felt threatened. It let out a muffled roar from its throat. Its upper body leaned forward, and its lower body straightened up. Compared to its huge body, the human in front of it was really small. In its mind, the more powerful a creature was, the bigger its body would be. Therefore, even though the human in front of it was emitting a terrifying aura, it was not afraid at all.
Suddenly, the human in front of it disappeared. It instinctively sensed danger. Its pair of vertical pupils, which had a large fan-like field of vision, narrowed tightly. Any moving object would be captured by it. It vaguely saw a white silk thread pass by, and the tail with long bone spikes lashed out at a high speed.
"Boom!"
A loud sound was heard. A sharp pain came from the tail, and that human was also sent flying far away, smashing into a rock wall. It immediately roared excitedly, and was extremely proud. With its huge strength, the human in front of it must have been smashed into meat paste.
Luo Kai stood up with dust all over his body. He was secretly shocked. The number of mature vicious beasts that he had killed so far was no less than two digits. Most of them did not have the ability to fight back. However, he was actually at a disadvantage in his first fight with this big lizard.
Lizards belonged to the category of "scales" among all the creatures in the world. This kind of creature was extremely good at hiding and attacking. It had a terrifying dynamic vision, and it was extremely good at capturing moving objects. Its fighting instinct was also to accumulate power. If it did not attack, it would use earth-shattering power as soon as it attacked. It was somewhat similar to the concept of Static Body Art. Therefore, he did not dare to be careless anymore.
The big lizard saw that the human was not dead, and it blinked its eyes in confusion. It had eaten a lot of these kinds of creatures, and they were all very fragile. How could this human be so tough?
Seeing that the human was slowly walking towards it, it instinctively felt that a greater danger was coming. Therefore, it decided to take the initiative to attack. It immediately narrowed its eyes, lowered its body slightly, and opened its mouth full of sawtooth fangs. Two scorching breaths came out of its big nostrils. With a roar, it grabbed the ground with its four sharp claws and rushed out.
When it changed from static to dynamic, its speed was not inferior to other creatures that were good at speed. A strange scene happened. The human did not escape at all. Instead, he stood there quietly. It could not help but be overjoyed. It even had the time to think that humans were not very delicious. They were all bones, and their skin was not easy to digest. They were all iron.
