Gravity Control allowed one to temporarily change their own gravity, making themselves light as a cloud—a Divine Skill.
Swift Flash massively enhanced reaction speed, a Qi Skill. This was also the main reason Lu Yuan swung several times without hitting his target.
Spiritual Spike, as the name suggests, was a method of spiritual attack and another Divine Skill.
Combined, these three abilities were actually quite strong.
Lu Yuan’s body broke out in goosebumps, "I really don’t understand... these creatures look weirder and weirder. If it had been a beautiful girl, maybe I would have given in, right?"
"Now that I’m confronted with such bizarre things, you can’t blame me for resisting."
Unable to glean any more information, he dug a hole directly, poured some fuel in, and set the corpse aflame.
The eyeballs, one after another, turned to ashes as they burned.
Old Cat said, "As long as you travel enough and live long enough, you’re bound to encounter monsters that fit your aesthetic. Just like orcas inexplicably liking humans."
"Well, now I’m actually looking forward to it..." Lu Yuan said, making a cold joke that even he didn’t understand, and looked around again.
Nothing was discovered.
This infant-like creature seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
"Did it pop out from Different Space?"
Lu Yuan frowned; he had his own Different Space and knew all too well that it was impossible to find a Monster hiding in Different Space.
He quietly sat back down to react to changes with constancy.
Old Cat also knew it wasn’t a good time for jokes and hid in the backpack as well, "Did you figure out what abilities the Monster has?"
"I don’t understand, maybe some kind of spiritual attack?" Lu Yuan said, frowning, "I just saw a lot of strange eyes that nearly drove me mad. Thank goodness the Donkey Head Mask somewhat blocked the bizarre ability."
"As for Gravity Control and Swift Flash, they might be inherent abilities of the little baby. Whether the Monster has these abilities is still uncertain."
"But I need to prepare for the worst."
Lu Yuan watched as the corpse in the fire pit gradually burned away, feeling a sense of sorrow.
A youngling of a civilization, forced to fight because it had Innate Abilities, controlled by the Monster.
Such a cruel reality.
"I wonder how many can be controlled by the Monster?"
"If a large number of similar monsters were to burst out, I wouldn’t be able to stop them."
Old Cat said, "Don’t worry, Monsters are not Demons."
"If a Demon sees your strength, it will obsessively want to Take Over and will definitely battle you. Monsters, on the other hand, have a different nature. If it assesses that you’re tough to handle, it might just ignore you."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, suspecting things were not that simple.
Was he really stronger than the Monsters?
This might just be an initial skirmish.
Facing an enemy that hid in Different Space, invisible and intangible, Lu Yuan felt for the first time "this ability of Different Space is truly disgusting."
This wait lasted until daylight.
The sun rose again, and a gray-black fog permeated the jungle, making visibility extremely poor—such weather was actually quite common, but not today.
The bright sunlight could not penetrate the mist, giving one an inexplicable sense of unease and fear.
Lu Yuan trusted his Sixth Sense.
He remained where he was, waiting for the fog to dissipate.
But by noon, at the peak of the temperature, not only did the fog not clear, it seemed to be getting thicker.
Stretching out a hand, it disappeared from view at less than a meter.
"Buddy, are we trapped in Different Space?" Old Cat suddenly said, "My telegraph can’t pick up any signals. That civilization hiding in the Safe Zone couldn’t be not sending out any electromagnetic waves, right...?"
"What about your telepathy? Can you still hear any voices?"
"It’s been gone since the red moon rose... I hope that guy wasn’t attacked too, right?"
Lu Yuan suddenly had a strange thought and forcefully blinked his eyes.
He habitually wanted to scratch his head but realized he was wearing a mask, so he could only "thump thump thump" knock a few times instead.
"Do you think, can the Monster attack creatures in the Safe Zone?"
"A Safe Zone can never be absolutely safe," Old Cat said, "Like the Meida Civilization that survived to the end, it’s just good luck."
Lu Yuan chuckled, "If the telepath from that Alien Civilization also saw the red moon and then fell into Different Space, could I find him if I set out now?"
Old Cat’s eyes widened, "To even consider meeting an alien civilization person in this godforsaken place! You’re quite the talent, Old Lu; you’re about to be eaten by monsters! Beep—buddy, you have a wild imagination."
Due to heightened emotions, Old Cat rebooted its system.
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. It was just a possibility; for all he knew, the person from the Alien Civilization might have already died.
Or perhaps they were protected by the Safe Zone and not attacked at all?
After pondering for a moment, he chose to find out through his own means whether he was in the Monster’s Different Space.
His Tree of Life was still placed within a tree hollow in Pangu Continent.
He closed his eyes, patiently sensing the direction of the Tree of Life—their connection as Soul Companions allowed him to always know its exact location. Stay tuned for updates on empire
It was like the end of the world.
Lu Yuan’s heart sank, only feeling such a sensation when in two different spaces.
Moreover, for some reason, Lu Yuan always felt the Tree of Life was growing at an unusually rapid pace?
