Not only were there people, but also a lot of scattered materials on the ground, hinting that someone once lived here.
Liang Yuan could sense that this cave was relatively dry, without much moisture.
His gaze swept over and suddenly he froze, spotting a giant tree trunk as thick as a person growing in the center of the cave.
The trunk was very thick, but very short, only two to three meters high.
The leaves were withered and yellow, with two bright red persimmons growing on it.
The persimmons were not large, only the size of a fist, glowing red like small lanterns.
From afar, he could actually smell a sweet and rich fruity fragrance.
Liang Yuan’s heart stirred: "Mutated Fruit!"
This was not his first time seeing mutated fruits; on the rooftop earlier, he had picked one himself and gave it to Zhao Kai.
But two mutated fruits growing on one tree was something he had never seen before.
He didn’t know what kind of tree this was, able to produce two mutated fruits in one go.
Those fruits indeed looked somewhat like persimmons.
But the tree didn’t quite look like a persimmon tree.
As for the persimmon tree seen outside the cave, it was actually an illusion.
And the two red lights were emitted by the two mutated persimmons, refracted through the moisture outside the cave, making them look much larger.
Liang Yuan scanned the area and noticed that aside from the unconscious humans on the ground, there were also numerous mutant beasts lying there.
He could sense that the owner of the spirit force field was in this cave.
However, he could not see the figure of the opponent.
"Hiding?"
Liang Yuan was puzzled, not rushing in recklessly. He first looked at the unconscious people on the ground.
After searching for a while, he immediately spotted a middle-aged man with a broken arm.
This man had gray hair, a lean figure, around sixty years old, and bore a resemblance to Yang Mei.
If not mistaken, this man was Yang Youwei.
Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered, he silently approached Yang Youwei.
Then he activated the [Puppet Threads] skill, strands of spiritual power quickly penetrated into Yang Youwei’s body.
Liang Yuan directly took over the body of the old man.
Then he gently stimulated the old man’s nerves.
Yang Youwei’s body trembled slightly, then suddenly sat up amid the unconscious people!
Yang Youwei sat up, then stood up straight, and under Liang Yuan’s control, started running madly towards the cave entrance!
A strange screech sounded in the cave, carrying a hint of doubt.
In the next moment, an invisible wall suddenly formed at the entrance of the cave.
Yang Youwei couldn’t stop his steps and crashed into the invisible wall.
Bang!
Yang Youwei’s body immediately fell back, followed by a powerful telekinesis force enveloping him, as if to crush him alive.
Liang Yuan’s eyes darted, finally locking onto the source of this powerful telekinesis!
On the persimmon tree!
"Found you!"
A cold smile flickered across Liang Yuan’s face, and a flying saber enhanced with Yang Shenmin’s [Sharp] superpower shot out abruptly.
Whoosh——
A sharp sound of air being ripped apart exploded as the flying saber rapidly shot forth, tearing through the air and piercing the withered leaves with a plunking sound.
"Squeak——"
A strange cry came from within the leaves.
Right after, a yellow apparition instantly darted out from the withered leaves.
The figure wasn’t large, only a bit over a meter long, wearing a glowing yellow skin cap, with ears like a rabbit’s, very strong gripping limbs, extremely agile.
It sprang out, sniffing the air with its fox-like sharp nose, while quickly scanning around with its pair of dim yellow pupils.
Suddenly, its eyes locked onto the corner of the cave.
In the next instant, its figure swayed as wind whistled in the air.
Soon, there was a burst of strong light from the corner.
At the same time, a figure shouted: "You guys go quickly!"
Under the strong light, the yellow creature couldn’t help but let out strange cries, hurriedly closing its eyes.
Meanwhile, two figures shot out from the strong light.
These two figures, a man and a woman, moved extremely fast, bounding forward several times and reaching the cave entrance.
They didn’t bother about Yang Youwei, directly leaping over him, fleeing swiftly.
Liang Yuan was astonished that there were still people hiding in this cave!
He seized the opportunity, controlling the old man Yang Youwei, to swiftly leap up and dash out.
In the cave, two people and the creature remained.
Despite the strong light, the creature’s eyes couldn’t open, but it could sense the environment using its psychic abilities even without its eyes.
In its perception, a figure swiftly charged in from the center of the strong light.
The figure wielded a short knife-like object and slashed down fiercely.
Swish——!
The strong light concentrated, transforming into a high-temperature light saber, tearing huge phantoms through the air with a ripping sound.
Seeing this, the yellow creature squeaked loudly, its telekinesis instantly counteracting.
Instinctively, four or five bodies jumped up from the ground, blocking its front.
Thud thud thud——
The light saber didn’t stop, directly slicing these bodies into pieces, spraying blood everywhere, leaving these corpses in several fragments falling to the ground.
For a moment, flesh dropped, and blood flowed.
But simultaneously, there was a smell of charred flesh.
It turned out that the light saber possessed high-temperature properties, scorching the cut areas before slicing these bodies.
Such a light saber was not only incredibly sharp but also carried high-temperature attacks.
