Chapter 37: Look Clearly

That spiked tail twirled and stirred the tissues in the old turtle’s neck.

Then, he pulled it out, and blood instantly spurted out from the old turtle’s neck.

After this, the old turtle’s writhing became feeble.

Luo Fan raised his spiked tails and struck again.

This time, all three spiked tails pierced into the old turtle’s neck. With a casual twist, the old turtle’s neck was broken.

“I have lost two of my intestines. It looks like I have been too careless. I didn’t expect other creatures to be in the mud after the garbage had reduced.”

One of the two intestines was almost severed by the old turtle’s bite.

The other had been pierced by his own spiked tail, and was also in a half-dead state.

With this, Luo Fan was re-awakened to the power of his own spiked tails. No wonder he was able to kill so many creatures.

Even his level-2 intestine had been pierced just like that.

Immediately after, he grabbed the old turtle.

It took a lot of effort to pull it up from the mud.

Luo Fan groped around but could not find the limbs of this creature.

It was as if this old turtle only had the shell on its body, and it was a very hard shell.

Then, he tried to absorb the old turtle’s body.

After the decomposition by his intestines, Luo Fan knew the rough data about the old turtle.

“It has around 3 grams of bio-energy in its body, which is the same as a silver rat.”

He silently judged the old turtle’s supernatural level.

The bio-energy in the old turtle’s body was the same as the silver rat, but the silver rat had not been much of a threat to Luo Fan.

“The bio-energy in this old turtle’s body is around 3 grams, while the bio-energy in the big fish’s body is around 2 grams. The further away from the rat hole, the more bio-energy there is in a creature’s body.”

“Logically speaking, this place is already very far from the rat hole. The supernatural energy could not have leaked here, and even accumulated to about 3 grams of bio-energy in this creature.”

Luo Fan guessed that the source of the bio-energy in these creatures was not from the rat hole but from another place currently unknown to him.

“It is very likely that there is a leak of supernatural energy upstream which then follows the filthy water here.”

From the look of things, this guess would be valid.

Then, Luo Fan absorbed a small portion of the old turtle’s carcass and continued his journey.

As the shell of this old turtle was very hard, Luo Fan did not have that much time to retrieve the meat.

He was no longer letting his guard down. He started to walk with extreme caution.

The garbage in the surroundings was slowly getting lesser, and the mud on the ground was increasing.

The water had become much clearer. At least, his eyeball was not getting hit by particles as he walked in the water.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that creatures had begun to appear around him.

To be more precise, there were more creatures around him.

Luo Fan had also stepped on some small insects in the mud. These were insects that lived in the mud.

As the mud around him increased, he was attacked by that kind of turtle again.

This kind of creature was too well-hidden. No matter how careful Luo Fan was, it was difficult to discover it.

They hid in the mud and did not move at all, waiting for their prey to come closer.

Perhaps, if a small fish or prawn swam over, it would eat it in one gulp.

Luo Fan did not know why there were turtles living in such deep waters. Did they not need to float to the surface to breathe?

Perhaps it was because it was a supernatural creature. This was the most comprehensive explanation presently.

After he had killed the old turtle, he had also crippled another intestine, so he had to stop to recuperate.

“I wonder where this current leads, but for now, there will be more and more creatures ahead. I hope I can just follow the current directly to another city.”

After he had repaired the intestine, Luo Fan continued forward.

He had been walking in this place for more than ten days and had encountered some creatures, but in very limited numbers.

At this moment, it had been almost three months since the big fire.

However, in this place, there were obviously more creatures in the water.

The water current had also become stronger. Luo Fan even felt that there was real flowing water not far ahead.

Perhaps it was the water outlet of a certain gate, or perhaps it was directly connected to a tributary of a large river.

“Perhaps I’ll be out of here soon.”

Luo Fan was overjoyed, and his speed increased unconsciously.

As the water flow had become bigger, he did not need to determine the direction of the water flow. He just needed to dash in the direction of the water flow.

However, just as he started to speed up, he stopped again.

“Is this an illusion?”

His eye widened. As he did not have eyelids, he could not determine the situation before him by blinking his eye.

His eye was also covered by scales. He could only observe the outside world through the gaps in the scales.

He was in a dark environment along the way.

The deep cave and the bottom of the swamp blocked any light from entering.

He had given up on the eyeball as an organ and used his senses directly to perceive his surroundings.

Over time, he was almost used to such a dark environment.

However, at this moment, he felt that the water in front of him seemed to have cleared up.

His eye could clearly see some things, such as the large rock beneath his body.

Luo Fan stared for a while more, constantly changing his direction to look around.

Finally, he determined one thing. There was light here.

He had found light in this dark environment.

If there was no light, how could he see clearly what was around him?

Of course, there was another possibility, which was that Luo Fan’s eyeball had evolved after being in a dark environment for a long time.

After all, a large portion of his eyeball were level-2 cells, and there were also some level-3 cells.

Anything that involved the supernatural, no matter how illogical, became reasonable.

He continued forward for some distance. As he continued to advance, Luo Fan discovered that his vision was becoming clearer and clearer.

This process was relatively slow, but it was really happening.

He advanced for quite a while again, and the surroundings became clearer and clearer until he saw a huge clam-like creature in the mud on the ground.

This creature was like a huge rock, half buried in the mud.

If it had not been for Luo Fan’s large eye, he would not have noticed this creature.

“What species is this? Have I bumped into something new again?”

Coming to a water body, and bumping into something new, he was naturally a bit curious.

“A shell-like creature. Even if it is a supernatural creature, its power of attack will not be too high.”

He silently judged, weighing the strength of both sides.

Then, he extended an intestine to test out.

No matter what, it was always better to be careful.

The intestine felt carefully and very slowly.

Also, Luo Fan had tensed up. If there was anything wrong, he would pull back immediately.

The intestine was getting closer and closer, but the water remained quiet.

“It looks like I’m thinking too much. This creature is not dangerous…”

At this moment, Luo Fan thought that he had been swift enough, but the rock-like clam suddenly opened its shell.

The speed at which it opened was as if it had been pushed open by something.

Sure enough, a long, snake-like organ shot out from inside and bit into Luo Fan’s intestine.

Even though he had been so careful, he still could not react in time.

“What a familiar feeling!”
