Chapter 349: Lost

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With his Zhanmadao in his hand, Luo Yuan walked ahead, expressionless. More than 10 young giants attempted to ambush him. But, before they were close enough to strike him, they were killed by a few slashes of the glowing saber that was radiating three meters of his Will.

While he was walked, he killed all who stood in his path. Dead bodies filled the area. Soon, the noisy cave was silent. Not only the giants, but the humans were quiet too. As Luo Yuan was stepped closer towards them, and they backed away in fear. Some of them were so scared that their knees buckled and they fell to the ground. None of them dared to fight back.

Luo Yuan neither unleashed his aura nor did he kill anyone, yet. However, his blood covered saber, clothes and his deadpan face terrified everyone in the cavern. He glimpsed at the furnace that was 10 meters away to the left. Next to it was a gigantic mold workshop with some self-made machines A group of humans stood by it, frozen with fear. Some of them held wrenches and shovels in their trembling hands. He looked away and did not say a word.

As a strong evolved human, it was hard for Luo Yuan to imagine how difficult it would be to live in the wilderness. Apart from how they live their lives as fodder for mutated beasts, the harsh environment, as well as slavery of their own kind were a few more nightmares they suffered. Perhaps to them, it was the only way to live. Their nature of life was to live and to breed. What was against the nature of life had been eliminated through the evolution of their species.

A group of them were seen as rebels who escaped to the jungle, but the others were not. Most of them just wanted to live as wanderers forgotten by the reconstruction area. Luo Yuan was no saint. His principles and virtues were no something he was proud of. If he did not have the system which made him an evolved human, he might have been one of them. What he saw was a means to stay alive, but there was an indescribable sadness inside of him for them.

If he did not find out earlier, this intelligent race of giants would have developed into a super civilization with the knowledge they would have learned from the humans. Perhaps they would be killed by the giants once they found no use for them. It would be a disheartening thing to witness. Luo Yuan shook his head to get rid of the miserable thoughts on his mind. His face turned stone cold and he looked ahead. His body was suddenly a blur and he disappeared from where he stood. More than 10 female giants who attempted to run away were slashed in half as they took their first few steps.

In an instant, that area of a few kilometers became a kill box. With his speed of 200 meters per second, nobody managed to escape his merciless saber. No matter pregnant women or children that were less than one meter tall, they were all killed without remorse. Within moments, the stench of blood filled the air.

10 minutes later, Luo Yuan slid his saber back into its sheath. The people who were watched were relieved the giants were all mutilated around them, but none of them uttered a sound. Most of the wanderers were ordinary people who were captured by evolved human to be sold as slaves. Peace had been lost to them for so long, they did not know it anymore. They were numb from all the torture and were just glad to have air in their lungs. Apart from the fear for Luo Yuan, most of them were terrified for what this murderous evolved human had in store for them.

During the apocalypse, human lives were worse than a dog’s life. The treatment the giants gave them was considered good as humans were of use to them. Although their freedom and dignity were long gone, at least their safety was guaranteed and they would never go hungry. If they were to be in the wilderness, they were not sure how long they could live in that lush green diabolical wasteland.

Luo Yuan did not have the time to care about what the people thought. He looked at the mission and realized that it was not completed yet. He searched the dead bodies around him again. He saw a dead woman’s pregnant body in the mound of corpses at his feet, and he used his saber to pierce through her tummy. But yet, the mission remained incomplete.

There were many forks in the cave but there was only one path in this one. He had a meticulous memory where he memorized everything in one glance. Before he came here, he had already cleared each and every path he crossed. There should not be any giants that he missed. Apart from the possibility that there were more giants who had not made their way back yet, there should be another giant hiding somewhere.

He looked around carefully, and something caught his attention. In a dark corner where some filthy women were cowering for their lives, there was an oddly shaped curtain hidden by their feet. He heard a heartbeat that was obviously stronger than a human being’s heartbeat thumping from under the bundled up curtain. There was something concealed in there. Luo Yuan walked towards the women. Seeing Luo Yuan walking towards their direction, they were horrified. Their bodies trembled and they turned a sickly pale white.

"Get out of the way!" Luo Yuan said.

"It’s… still a baby, it doesn’t know anything. Please forgive it!" A woman said while swallowing her fear, her voice was quivering uncontrollably. Luo Yuan was surprised. He was not sure if these women loved the child, and were now on the same side with the giants. How could they protect their enemy? Did they underestimate how powerful his saber was?

Luo Yuan pulled out his Zhanmadao and said, "Do you think you can stand in my way?" The women were terror-stricken. They instantly crawled aside and stayed silent. He then lifted the curtain, and there was a baby that looked not more than a few weeks old. It looked like a six-year-old human child. Its pupils were gold, clear and innocent. It thought he was playing a game with it, and let out a giggle while kicking its feet.

Suddenly, a light flashed before the baby. It stopped smiling. Blood gushed out of its throat. It bled to death instantly, its eyes cold and lifeless.

Luo Yuan looked at the message sent from the system. He was happy. After waiting for almost half a year, he had finally achieved a level-up. Although it took some time, within six months his abilities improved very quickly. Whether it was the change in attributes during the transition period or the level eight energy nucleus that he recently consumed which boosted his physique and strength, the minor points the system gave him every time he leveled up barely meant anything to him. The function of the system had become insignificant to him.

However, the upgrade of attributes that the system gave was crucial too as all attribute points were added accordingly. His highest attribute (plain attribute) was +17 while the lowest was +14 and they were the main attributes. Initially, his dexterity was the highest but now it was far behind his strength and physical traits which set him back from his true potential.

Luo Yuan was not in a hurry to make changes to his attributes. He had some doubts. The main reason why he was here was to look for the Wisdom Tree. If he managed to find it, not only would his intelligence be boosted, but the remaining points could be added to his dexterity. By then, his four-dimensional vision could be relieved, and there would be another round of major changes to his abilities. However, he had looked high and low throughout the cave, but there was no signs of the Wisdom Tree.

He thought about it and realized that it made sense. There was no tree that could survive in a cave as there was no sunlight. He had no idea where the giants migrated from. He looked at the women in front of him and pulled out his saber with an ice cold look in his eyes. That frightened the women and their faces turned a ghostly white. He said,"Let me ask you, where did these giants come from." "I… I don’t know, I don’t know anything." said the woman who defended the baby. Luo Yuan turned around and said loudly, "Everybody come forward. Does anybody know where these giants come from?" His voice was so loud that an echo lingered in the cave.

The massacre earlier made them obey him out if sheer fear for their lives. They looked at each other, gathered around him. Soon, all of them were standing in front of Luo Yuan. He looked at them one by one and noticed that there were a few of them that seemed hesitantly stuttering to say something. He pointed at one of them and said,"Speak up, and if you dare to lie to me…"

His words send a chill down their spines. The crowd backed away and the one he pointed at stood alone. The man looked around in fear. When he realized that Luo Yuan had pointed at him, he dropped to his knees and repeatedly prostrated himself before Luo Yuan could even finish what he was saying.

"Master, please have mercy on me. I know, I know… where did they come from."

Luo Yuan frowned. It felt strange to him. "Stand up and tell me!" he shouted at the wailing man. The man was petrified. He could not move his legs to stand up. He was shaking on the ground and could not speak. Luo Yuan picked another person from the quivering huddled mass of people. With all the vicious killing that had happened, the man spilled everything he knew from the beginning to the end.
