Human Shackles - Chapter354

Seeing that they were in a difficult situation, the bear took out a bottle of water from its bag and handed it to them.

A Bin was even more surprised. He had never seen such a human-like beast. He carefully took the bottle, drank a few mouthfuls, and then passed the bottle to Wen Li. He gradually calmed down and introduced himself with a hoarse voice, "Thank you. My name is Xie Bin, and this is my girlfriend, Wen Li."

Luo Kai didn't say anything, but the bear made a few whimpering sounds and blurted out the word "bear" from its big mouth. It was also introducing itself.

A Bin and Wen Li were tired from running for their lives, and now that they relaxed, they were like two puddles of mud. Fortunately, the bear reached out with its fat paws to grab them, or else they would have been thrown off.

Dawn came early on the plateau. As the sun rose, the temperature rose rapidly. The atmosphere in the blue sky was very thin, and the sunlight with high intensity radiation made people dizzy.

The altitude here was estimated to be five or six thousand meters. The oxygen was thin, and the poor and itchy environment would make people lazy. It was reasonable to say that places with higher altitudes would be directly exposed to the ocean currents, but this place was incomparably desolate, and there was not even a little bit of water in the air.

However, even in such a harsh living environment, there were still many gold diggers scattered around the wasteland. They were in groups of three to five, carrying tattered backpacks and using crutches to explore the dry surface.

They were looking for night gold. The large night gold mine was not something that ordinary people could touch, but the strong wind erosion on the plateau would peel off the night gold bit by bit and blow it out to various places. There were many who became rich just by scavenging.

There were ferocious bandits, murderous mercenaries, money-hungry slave traders, and criminals who were wanted by various countries. When they noticed the sudden appearance of the behemoth, they all stopped and sneakily approached it.

When they got close, they all moved away. The huge body of the three-horned lizard and its big mouth that was drooling scared away all the peeping eyes in the wasteland.

With the Three-Horned Lizard's body, every movement consumed a huge amount of energy. It was already starving, but without Luo Kai's command, it didn't dare to chase after these tasteless snacks. It could only let out a low whimper from time to time.

In the distance, a majestic city appeared in their field of vision. The city was built between two huge mountains. The city walls were tens of meters high and divided into three rings. The city walls were filled with guns and cannons of various calibers. On the two sides of the mountain peaks stood several huge cannons that were tens of meters high. The black barrels of the cannons were thicker than an adult's.

The rock structure of the two mountain peaks seemed to be a little special. Under the sunlight, it reflected colorful rays of light, just like a rainbow. Presumably, this was the origin of the name Rosy Cloud Country.

Luo Kai squinted his eyes and watched for a while. He patted the three-horned lizard and signaled it to turn. It was not convenient to enter the city with the giant lizard. He had to find a place for it in the wild, preferably a place with water and food.

It was not that there was no water here. As long as it was on Earth, the circulating ocean warm current would bring a lot of water molecules. It was just that the altitude here was relatively high. The wind formed by unknown reasons blew away the warm current, and it didn't have time to cover the ground.

Another source was the underground water. Any high altitude area was where the underground pressure condensed, and there would be rich underground water resources.

A Bin was awakened by the dazzling sunlight. He licked his dry lips and looked at Luo Kai. He hesitated for a long time, and then he gathered his courage and asked, "Brother, I still don't know your name."

Luo Kai looked back at him and felt that the hostility in the young man's heart had faded a lot. His voice also calmed down, "My name is Wu Kong."

"Oh, thank you, Brother Wu!"

A Bin was frightened by his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He lowered his head and didn't dare to ask more. After a while, he stared at the big bag next to Brown Bear. He knew that Brown Bear was easy to talk to, so he showed a flattering smile, "Brother Bear, give me something to eat."

Brown Bear agreed and took out a piece of dried meat from the bag and handed it to him.

"Thank you!"

A Bin hurriedly took it, and just as he took a bite, he couldn't help but groan. The dried meat in his mouth was very hard, and his teeth hurt from biting. He was secretly shocked. The higher the level of the ferocious beast, the tighter the meat was. Even with his current body, he couldn't bite through it. This meant that it was probably the meat of a mature ferocious beast. It would be better if it was roasted hot, but the dried meat was comparable to steel.

Wen Li also woke up at this time, and Brown Bear gave her another piece of dried meat. The two of them used their teeth to grind it bit by bit, each thinking about something.

A Bin was thinking that it was time to leave. Although the Wind Saint stayed in the Blue Sky Plateau all year round, he was very elusive. Almost no one had seen him before, so it wouldn't be easy to find him.

Wen Li was different. Her pair of haggard eyes looked at Luo Kai's back from time to time. No one knew better than her how strong A Bin's talent was, but compared to this person in front of her, it was like comparing the stars to the moon, candlelight to the sun!

The three-horned lizard smelled the fragrance of food above its head and sneezed impatiently. It swayed left and right and stopped moving forward. Its throat kept growling, as if it was sulking.

"Fat Bear, how much meat do we have left?"

Luo Kai helplessly turned around. He wasn't someone who abused animals, and the three-horned lizard did play a big role on the way here, giving him more time to absorb energy.

Brown Bear opened the bag and gestured with his fingers.

"Give the three-horned lizard some."

Luo Kai said softly and closed his eyes. His mind floated in the sky, looking for a source of food.

Of course, there were ferocious beasts in the Blue Sky Plateau, and they were the most terrifying insect-type ferocious beasts. Although the world's species were complex and diverse, in the end, they all led to the same destination. Most of them evolved in the direction of higher intelligence and stronger bodies, and the insect-type was one of the best.

If all the known creatures were unified and then carried out a one-on-one fight, the insect-type would definitely take the first place. They were born to kill. Not only did they have a hard shell and sharp claws, but they also had vitality far beyond ordinary creatures.

Except for the leader level of insects, the other individuals didn't have high intelligence. They wouldn't be influenced by thoughts and consciousness, and they wouldn't be affected by negative emotions. Every one of them was a cold killing machine. If they weren't limited by their small size, they would have already dominated the world. Now, the only disadvantage of insects was gone.

As for why the insect-type didn't stand out too much in this big wave of evolution, there might be a higher level reason. After all, there was the existence of an indescribable god.

Generally speaking, the oxygen-poor environment of the plateau was not suitable for insect-type creatures to survive, but there was always a strong swarm of insect-type creatures wandering around the Blue Sky Plateau. It was the nightmare of all gold-diggers. Would it attack Caiyun City?

Luo Kai didn't find the scent of insects, but he perceived a relatively strong frequency of water flow. As long as there was water in any corner of the world, there would be life, and there would be food.

The three-horned lizard had finished its food and breathed out a scorching breath with satisfaction. It wanted to take a lazy nap, but just as it nestled its limbs, there was a command above its head. It could only get up and continue to move forward.

More than two hours later, a huge canyon appeared in front of them. There were cliffs on both sides of the canyon. The canyon was filled with fog, and it was bottomless.

The fog was not water fog, but the Space Illusion Miasma. Luo Kai's face suddenly became a little strange. He turned his head and said, "Fat Bear, take care of Big Brother. I'll be back in a while." Then he patted the head of the three-horned lizard, meaning to rest there.

The three-horned lizard responded with a happy growl and lay down heavily on the ground.
