Chapter 78: The Cunning of the "Devil" (for the leader "Little Dinosaur Loves Fish"!)
Lu Yuan clenched his fists and finally made up his mind to fight.
He estimated with his naked eyes that the distance between the two sides was about 7 kilometers. It was basically impossible to throw the spear over by relying on physical strength.
Even if he stood on the hillside and threw it down from a high place, it was still too far.
"Unless I enter the miasma and throw myself, there is a chance of success in launching an attack... but entering this layer of miasma is too dangerous."
This gray miasma is not black in the physical sense, but a kind of fear on the spiritual level and the loss of vitality.
It is also the "domain" described in the paper of the Meda civilization, something that can only be produced by high-level extraordinary life.
"Or make a crossbow by hand?" Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.
The most important material for the crossbow is the highly elastic bowstring, which he happened to have on hand - two salamander spinal tendons.
That long tendon requires tremendous strength to be stretched open. Yes, even with Lu Yuan's current strength, he could only stretch it about halfway.
But if used to make bows and arrows, it is better to throw your own spear.
Therefore, the tendon has been unused.
"After making the ballista, I fired the fuel crystals of the salamander over there, and burned those damn bones with fire."
Lu Yuan used his physics knowledge, which he hadn't used for ten years, to calculate the trajectory of the crossbow.
"No, no, even if we make a high-quality crossbow, it still won't work."
It's easy to tell that it's almost unrealistic for a projectile weapon like this to hit a target several kilometers away simply by relying on its trajectory, even a sniper rifle can't do that.
Even a cannon would have to fire several shells to hit the target accurately just based on its trajectory.
The best way is to fight head-on.
But head-on hand-to-hand combat is really dangerous and you may not be able to win.
Lu Yuan thought about it over and over again, sweating profusely, but he still couldn't find a good solution.
Deep down, he still wanted to save the mother bear. After all, she was a wild animal with whom he had a "fighting relationship" and the mother of the two little fat bears...
"If you don't have the strength to be a savior, don't ask for too much..." Lu Yuan reminded himself.
At this moment, the old wolf beside him suddenly became anxious and growled a few times.
Its hair stood up, obviously it had encountered something extremely frightening, but it was forcibly suppressing its emotions.
"What happened again?"
The old wolf led Lu Yuan to the west for a while and then stopped anxiously.
Lu Yuan stood on the cliff and looked into the distance.
Something even stranger happened. He actually saw a group of wolves entering the Salamander Valley straight from another route!
There were three female wolves in total, and more than a dozen round, chubby little wolves.
"That... isn't that our wolf pack?!"
Lu Yuan's face darkened and his voice trembled slightly.
They were now standing on the cliff, unable to stop anything and had to watch helplessly as the group of wolves walked into the miasma.
His heartbeat quickened all of a sudden. If the mother bear being captured made him a little angry, then these wolves being captured here were holding his lifeblood, causing him to burst into unbearable anger! "Awoo!" The old wolf also recognized that this was his wife and child. He showed his sharp teeth and kept digging the soil with his two hind legs.
Lu Yuan is now almost certain that the damn donkey-headed monster has intelligence.
The situation suddenly became critical!
"Why did it capture these wolves? What use are these wolves? They are not even extraordinary creatures!"
What was even stranger was that he didn't see any physical creatures driving away the wolves.
It was as if these wolves had walked in on their own.
The old wolf's wife and children were all killed. He was eager to jump off the cliff, but the drop was more than a hundred meters and he would die immediately if he jumped. He was not stupid enough to do that.
The animality of it is fear.
The old Pangu Gray Wolf, whose desire to survive was fully exerted, was trembling with fear - the opponent was too terrifying, and was an existence that it could never defeat.
But its wolf nature urged it to fight. It was better to die in battle than to be a stupid wolf here! So it bared its teeth and couldn't help but raise its head, wanting to roar like a wolf to wake up the wolf pack.
Lu Yuan was still somewhat rational. He immediately covered the guy's mouth and said to him in a soothing tone, "I understand. Your wife and children are its hostages."
"Its ultimate goal must be to hunt me."
"Your wife and children won't die so easily. If they die, they will have no value."
He threw out a few pomegranates, and the old wolf stopped being anxious for the sake of food.
No matter how smart the old wolf is, it is just an animal and its attention will be distracted.
What’s even more creepy is Lu Yuan.
As panic spread, he became more sober.
"The other party's purpose is to hunt me!"
Normally, if he found that the wolves were missing, he would search everywhere and become exhausted.
If they keep searching until they find the kidnapped wolves near the Salamander Valley, they will probably rush in with rage and kill everyone.
Because the wolf pack is his only dependant.
At least he has someone to accompany him now. Once he is alone again, Lu Yuan really cannot bear the endless feeling of loneliness.
At this moment, a cry of fear came from afar, "Awoo!" "Awoo!" More than a dozen wolves arrived near the body of the salamander and huddled together, howling one after another. They were so scared that they were paralyzed on the spot, not even daring to run away, but just howling wildly.
The donkey-headed monster on the side ignored everything and continued to busy himself with piecing together the bones.
Salamanders are high-level extraordinary creatures, and their bones are several times tougher than those of bears and wolves, so the value of bears and wolves is indeed not high.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan became more certain while searching.
"The paper of the Meda civilization describes that idealistic creatures are not very interested in ordinary animals. This is because ordinary animals have too little spiritual energy."
"So its prey must be me. It deliberately let them howl to lure me over..."
This guess made Lu Yuan tremble all over.
It's fucking horrible...
The ones he had fought in the past were just a group of unintelligent beasts.
Now suddenly there appears a creature that is intelligent and can kidnap hostages! It is not an exaggeration to call it a ghost.
"It's so cunning, it must have hunted a lot of civilizations... It wants to hunt me, good, very good."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
At this moment, Lu Yuan was indeed nervous. Unspeakable panic flowed through his blood vessels like the Yangtze River, filling every corner of his body.
He was alone against the unknown, with no one to turn to.
Even his extraordinary fire was trembling. It was just a level 2 fire. What could it do in front of a civilized hunter?
Lu Yuan angrily picked up a stone and hit his thigh fiercely. The intense pain was like a dam rising out of nowhere, blocking the endless panic.
"It's just a milestone delivery. What am I afraid of?"
The limitations of fate may always exist, but the unyielding challenge cannot be absent for a moment.
Now is the time to challenge fate.
Lu Yuan clenched his fists, listened to his heartbeat, laughed, and touched the head of his old friend beside him: "Old man, I know you are very angry and anxious."
"But I have to go back first and make some battle preparations."
"If we rush in now, we will fall into the enemy's trap."
"I will definitely help you rescue your wife and children!"
…
Lu Yuan started his journey home, and Old Wolf followed closely behind him.
If we talk about giving up, Lao Lang’s “trash” attribute is actually more than a hundred times that of Lu Yuan.
After all, there are plenty of animals in the primeval forest. If it kidnaps a few female wolves and gives birth to a group of cubs, it will be a majestic hero again in a year!
The gestation period of a wolf is only three months.
It forgets things very quickly. As long as you give it something delicious, it will forget all its troubles.
However, Lu Yuan will not give up easily.
He is a human being with feelings, there is no way he will just give up like that.
I rushed back home as quickly as possible and checked the surrounding situation.
Sure enough, he smelled a rotten smell in a dark corner.
It smells quite strong, as if it just appeared.
"Can that monster control its mind? Otherwise, those wolves wouldn't have been able to run into the canyon on their own."
"Its main body is clearly in the canyon, so how did it do this? Using a clone, or some other ability? A parasite?" Lu Yuan squatted down and examined carefully, but found no footprints or hair of abnormal creatures.
In terms of pure fighting power, he is probably no match.
Some wisdom must be relied upon.
But the other party is also smart and won’t fall into his trap so easily.
"Since the other party didn't take the initiative to come to us, it means that it is not sure of winning."
"It once looked me in the eye, and it only knew that I possessed extraordinary fire."
"But it doesn't know the rest of my abilities, nor the superior weapons I possess..."
"At the same time, I don't know its abilities. I only know that it might be able to control my mind and release that gray miasma... In this case, it wants to lure me into its territory. I'm obviously at a disadvantage in this battle on my home turf."
There is still too little information.
The key to fighting is to test the opponent's divine skills and hide your own divine skills.
Lu Yuan kept breathing in and out, but he couldn't calm down at all. His mind was full of messy thoughts.
He clearly had enough resources for cultivation, as well as the information provided by the Meda civilization. As long as he followed the steps, he could cultivate the third-level extraordinary fire.
At that time, he would have enough confidence to launch an expedition to find more treasures!
What is waiting for him in the sky city 17,000 kilometers away?
Maybe there is a greater civilization there, maybe there are living intelligent life!
Who says that civilization will definitely become extinct? Not even "God" has said that. So, all the civilizations of the Eighth Era are dead, right?
He will definitely be able to cultivate to a higher level in the Sky City, and maybe even complete a few civilization milestones? ...
