Under the cover of darkness, on the shimmering sea, a giant blue whale, over 50 meters long, swiftly glided across the surface. The surrounding sea was dotted with the undulating broad backs of mutated sea beasts, but these mutated sea beasts dared not attack the blue whale, for the blue whale had reached level 3, and they could not defeat it.
If they looked closer, they could see that the blue whale was also bound by a huge water chain, which was restricting its movement.
The blue whale was chained by water chains and was in agony. The woman on its back was terrifying. Even though she wasn't looking at it, the moment it deviated from its course or started to sink, the water chains would tighten immediately, and sharp spikes would sprout from them. For some reason, these spikes could easily pierce its flesh and were extremely painful.
It had no choice but to be driven by the woman sitting on its back.
Lin Ruo was sitting cross-legged on the back of the blue whale, using her mental energy to monitor it. There was a box of spicy duck wings in front of her, which she was slowly munching on, and she was also holding a bottle of iced drink in her hand.
Thanks to the blue whale below, she didn't encounter any clueless people or mutated beasts harassing her along the way. She thought this method was good, and it could be considered as "taking a taxi".
If she needs to go out to sea again in the future, she will capture another powerful mutated sea beast. This way, she can threaten the surrounding mutated beasts and keep them away, and also speed up her journey.
Normally, it would take her a whole night to travel hundreds of kilometers on the water by pushing the boat with her water-based abilities. But sitting on the back of the blue whale, just past midnight, her mental power had already scanned the outline of Yanshan, which meant that Yanshan was only a few kilometers away from them.
With a flick of its massive tail, the blue whale rippled across the water and sped to the vicinity of the Yanshan Mountains. It stopped a kilometer away from the mountains, where the water was too shallow for it to cross.
Lin Ruo patted the blue whale's back, "Thank you for your hard work. Keep your crystal core for now."
Upon hearing this, the blue whale almost burst into tears. After working hard all night, it was finally able to save its life.
She jumped off the blue whale's back, and as she landed on the water, a stream of water several meters wide rose from the sea and supported her feet. The water surged and splashed out continuously, but it didn't wet Lin Ruo's shoes. She stood firmly on it, her body bobbing up and down with the current.
After thinking for a moment, she decided not to let them make a wasted trip. She took out a level 2 mutated sea lion from her spatial storage and threw it into the water. "This is your reward. Keep it safe."
After saying that, she ignored the blue whale's reaction and manipulated the water beneath her feet, rushing towards the Yanshan Mountains.
The blue whale bit into the hard-won flesh and blood, flicked its tail, turned around, and fled at top speed. Behind it, its hasty movements splashed up huge waves, as if it feared the woman behind it might change her mind.
It has finally broken free from this human, finally free! It has endured countless stabs along the way, and its body is still covered in wounds!
As it swam rapidly, it devoured the flesh and blood in its mouth, instantly filling the water with a large patch of bright red, which quickly disappeared along with the blue whale.
Some mutated sea creatures also quietly followed behind the blue whale, hoping to pick up some scraps of meat.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Ruo reached the shore of her mountain peak, a distance of several hundred meters. With a light leap, she landed steadily on the shore.
Then, she turned and delivered a spinning kick, striking the mutated sea beast that had leaped high into the air and opened its mouth wide at her head with precision. The beast crashed back into the water, immediately turning belly up. Seeing other mutated sea beasts following the scent, Lin Ruo stored the mutated sea beast's corpse into her spatial storage the next second.
After pulling Afu and Ashou out of the space, Afu and Ashou immediately rushed in front of Lin Ruo, stretching out their strong claws and fiercely scratching at the mutated sea beasts that were attacking Lin Ruo. The sharp nails tore through the flesh of the mutated sea beasts, and the smell of blood filled the air.
The sea creature, in pain, retreated back into the water.
Lin Ruo narrowed his eyes, and with a thought, the mutated sea beast that had attacked him earlier had its head pierced by the water blade and was then stored in his spatial storage.
Lin Ruo jumped onto Afu's back, pointed in the direction of the mutated forest, and said, "Let's go! Let's go home!"
Afu roared to the sky, "Awoo!" and then took long strides, running at top speed towards the mutated forest.
Upon seeing the familiar surroundings, Ah Shou happily took flight, his tail wagging wildly, his feet barely touching the ground, as he joyfully followed behind Ah Fu.
"Woof woof!"
They've been away from home for almost half a month now, and how could they not be happy to be back in their familiar surroundings!
They were running forward quickly when suddenly a wet little tiger cub ran out of the bushes. Upon seeing Lin Ruo and the others, it was so frightened that it let out a soft, childish roar at them, then turned and disappeared in a flash.
Afu and Ashou exchanged a glance. How could there be tigers on this mountain? Had their territory been taken over by mutated tigers?! This little brat dares to provoke them!
They immediately wanted to chase after the tiger cub, but the next second, more than a dozen survivors emerged from where the tiger cub had just come out. They were stunned to see Lin Ruo and Afu and Ashou. This combination was all too familiar; it was that ice-type ability user! She had actually returned!
The group didn't dare to provoke Lin Ruo. They only glanced at him briefly and, seeing that Lin Ruo and his group didn't intend to attack them, quickly chased after them.
Lin Ruo didn't stop them because they had already left the edge of the mountain. Because of the frequent presence of mutated sea beasts, the mutated plants and animals in this area near the water were relatively rare. But inside, it was different; they were densely distributed. These ordinary survivors would die if they went in, so she didn't need to lift a finger.
Sitting on Afu's back, just in case, she released her mental energy to follow the people forward. Sure enough, as soon as the dozen or so survivors stepped out of the edge of the area, the surrounding mutated animals and plants noticed them and immediately pounced on them.
In the blink of an eye, all of these people were killed by these plants and animals. Looking at the completely devoured corpses, not even the blood on the ground was left. The small mutated plants used their roots to turn over the soil and bury the blood on the ground under the tree roots.
However, the tiger cub managed to escape quickly while these mutated plants and animals were killing people.
Lin Ruo withdrew her mental energy and thought of the mutated tiger she encountered when she obtained the Crystal Energy Gun. This little tiger must be its cub, but wasn't the dead mutated tiger male?
She blinked slightly. Danger lurked everywhere on this mountain. Even if such a small tiger escaped the human's pursuit this time, it wouldn't live for long.
With Afu and Ashou's speed, they quickly returned to the outer edge of the mutated forest. The mutated plants in the forest saw Lin Ruo and his companions as if they were seeing relatives, constantly swaying their branches and even making way for them.
The fawning manner made Lin Ruo raise her eyebrows slightly. How come these plants have become so enthusiastic after only half a month apart?
