Epoch of Twilight

The sun slowly rose from the horizon, and the dense fog in the forest dissipated quickly under the expulsion of the sun, and a new day began again.

On an empty grassland, a gigantic creature, with a giant corpse in its mouth, walked towards a strange tree. Around the strange tree, a hill-like corpse was already surrounded, and it was about to be buried.

These hill-like corpses are only a small part. At the entrance of the corridor on the rock wall, there is a larger mountain of corpses, waiting for this giant beast to carry them tirelessly.

Such high-intensity repetitive movements, as well as the desperate workload, have obviously made this violent behemoth less docile and tame. For example, it occasionally makes some small movements to vent its irritability. , trampled these corpses with their thick limbs, tore them apart with their sharp claws, dripping with blood, and swallowed them violently.

Of course, this kind of venting behavior has become less and less over time, and this frequency is directly proportional to the time someone is around, and inversely proportional to the degree of his belly distension.

Of course, venting is an accidental behavior. Most of the time, it is still honest and conscientious in carrying the work. This is the survival wisdom it has summed up after several lessons of blood and tears, even if its unscrupulous and terrible master is no longer there. here again.

Sometimes, when the giant beast put down the corpse, it would look at the fruit of the strange tree, and there seemed to be something attracting it, making it look at it from time to time, but it never dared to approach it.

The soil near the strange tree had already been soaked in the blood of the corpse, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air, as if awakened by the smell of blood. From three o'clock in the morning, the snow-white translucent filaments like mycelium appeared one after another. Silk, as if smelling the aroma of food, scrambled to extend from the roots of the knot, wrapping the nearby corpses tightly, and as time went by, more and more filaments, from The ground popped up, as if to wrap up all the corpses.

With the start of eating, the threads on the trunk squirmed slightly, the colors of the yellow and purple threads kept changing, and when viewed from a distance, it seemed that the whole trunk was slowly rotating.

……………

In a grotto halfway up the rock wall, the sound of heavy snoring came and went, like a symphony orchestra playing.

After a whole night of busy work, everyone who was exhausted had already fallen asleep.

In the first half of the night, there was basically nothing wrong, but in the second half of the night, in order to clean up their new camp, all the giant corpses were thrown down one by one from the high stone wall corridor by the crowd.

Nowadays, the weather is hot, and the corpses placed there will stink and rot within half a day, which will not only attract all kinds of scavenging insects and parasites, but also the smell itself will not be pleasant. Sleeping next to rotting corpses.

The weight of the giant is unclear. With a height of five or six meters and a strong physique, each head weighs almost a ton. Even if it is just moving, it is not something that one person can accomplish. At least two people need to work together to barely push Go on, if it is a woman or a child, then add another one.

In the middle of the night, everyone's bodies were about to fall apart, they just cleaned up the corpses in the corridor hastily, and fell asleep one after another.

Even Luo Yuan's inhuman physique felt a little tired, but he didn't fall asleep. He turned on the system's reminder.

"Current task: D-level special task: no grass can grow, wipe out the tribe of the gray people, and kill all the intelligent creatures in the tribe; reminder: this is a special task, the actual difficulty is reduced by one level. Time limit: none; task status: completed; Rating: Perfect."

"Character: Luo Yuan"

Completion: 100%

"Reward basic experience value +9600*100%!"

"Evaluation: Perfect, EXP +9600*100%!"

"Experience: 5520/153600!"

Beast of War: Jungle Monitor

Completion: 0%

"Reward basic experience value +9600*0%!"

"Evaluation: None, experience value +4800*0!"

"Experience: 1140/19200!"

"You have been upgraded!"

Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment, with a look of joy on his face. He didn't expect to be upgraded. Two consecutive D-level tasks were perfect, and the experience was directly piled into the upgrade. This was a surprise, even the haze brought by the curse was watered down.

He quickly opened the attribute panel, looked at the extra attribute point and five skill points, looked at it again and again, couldn't help laughing, until five or six minutes passed, he managed to calm down.

He closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and his face was slightly serious.

"I didn't seem to have such a big mental fluctuation when I was leveling up before. It seems that the existence of the curse has greatly affected my willpower. A considerable part of the power of the will is restrained by the curse and cannot be exerted. Once stimulated, the emotions cannot be controlled."

"This matter can't be delayed, it should be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, I don't know what embarrassing thing I will do?" Luo Yuan thought of himself in front of everyone in the future, he was overjoyed and sad, hurting the spring and sorrowing the autumn, and his majesty was swept away. A black line appeared.

He calmed down, opened the attribute panel again, and looked at the attributes. Every attribute was roughly balanced, not counting the bonuses of "Earth Power" and "Ghost Locust Heart". Strength, agility, and constitution were all fourteen. point. Among the sub-attributes, except for Will, which is 15, the others are all 13 points, which is a little low. But the impact is not big, and he already has other plans for intelligence, maybe this time there may be a breakthrough in intelligence.

What made him hesitate was whether to add attributes to agility or will?

He is deeply cursed now. If attribute points are added to the will, I am afraid that the curse will soon be suppressed or even dissipated. He has never added a point to his will, and he has always relied on self-breakthrough.

Putting a precious attribute point on the will is always a little bit worth the candle.

"Forget it, it will take a little time at most, even the body is wiped out, I don't believe it, it can't erase the mere curse." A sneer flashed across Luo Yuan's face, and he quickly made a decision.

The attribute of agility was slightly blurred, and it immediately became fifteen...

As the heat in his body subsided quickly, he slowly opened his eyes, and the surroundings became quieter. Even the sound of snoring became long and melodious, with changing tones. Faster time dimension.

He stretched out his palm and carefully felt the touch of air touching his skin. He could clearly feel that the air was "harder" than before, with a fluid texture. He squeezed it lightly, and the air scattered from his fingers Spill, he suddenly felt as if he could catch it.

So, he did it.

He clenched his fists violently!

There was a loud "pop", and the air around the fist was turbulent, and the air seemed to be crushed by him.

The agility at 15 points is 7.5 times that of ordinary people, and it is also equivalent to an ordinary person walking in a world that is 7.5 times slower. All physical phenomena, in this time dimension, began to gradually reveal their essence, just like the movie Luo Yuan saw was only frame by frame, and everything was displayed in front of him in a more real and clear appearance.

He stood up and walked out of the cave. Although he didn't feel fast, his speed was equivalent to that of ordinary people jogging.

The outside world has become a little strange. The dust falling slowly in front of his eyes, the slightly swaying branches under the breeze, and the sticky air surrounding him all the time make him feel alienated by jumping out of the world and watching with cold eyes. feel.

Obviously, he will take another period of time to slowly adjust to this sequela of high agility, and this time the symptoms are more serious than the last time, and the difficulty may be even higher.

……………

After getting used to this feeling of agility, Luo Yuan stopped, taking advantage of the free time, to prepare to deal with the effects of the curse.

He sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, trying to calm down his mind completely.

However, usually these simple actions, like eating and drinking, seem to be instinctive, but now they are extremely difficult. The presence of the curse made him experience various terrifying illusions as soon as he closed his eyes.

The screams before dying, the venomous eyes, the ferocious roar, all kinds of horrible scenes appeared one after another. Of course, these things that are scary to ordinary people have no effect on Luo Yuan. However, it also seriously disturbed Luo Yuan's tranquility, like a person who is about to fall asleep, but a tweeter keeps playing in a loop next to his ears, and it may be difficult to fall asleep.

Luo Yuan tried for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't get in. Instead, he sat a little distracted. He thought a little simple, and the external interference could be blocked, but the curse went deep into the soul of the body. Can calm down.

He stood up, walked back and forth for a while, and when he calmed down again, he sat cross-legged again.

He knew that this was a spiritual struggle, a contest between wills, and if he gave up, it would mean the failure of the struggle.

He thought for a while, crossed his knees again, this time, he didn't rush into silence, but watched the phantom scenes with great interest.

He found that the visions of curses were very simple, most of them only had a short image, and the image was quite vague and fleeting. Of course, there were also long ones, and the image was relatively clear. Obviously, these people's will before death was relatively high.

However, all the pictures, the longest does not exceed one second, and the rate of change is very fast.

In less than ten minutes, Luo Yuan read all the cursed ones.

Then watch it a second time, a third time, a fourth time...

Every time, he watched it very carefully and with great concentration. By the fifth time, he had basically figured out the basic laws of these phantoms, and he knew every picture like the back of his hand, even the order of the pictures.

He discovered that the effect of the curse is actually quite mechanical and rigid, as if it is executing a certain fixed procedure and law.

If the human brain is likened to a computer, then the curse is a foreign virus, which can overload the computer and burn through the motherboard (death), or crash the system (crazy), and at worst can also cause the computer to become a card. Performance drops (illusion interference), and he belongs to the latter because of his strong defense and good performance.

He opened his eyes again in the middle, rested for a while, and then continued to watch the phantom.

The fifth time, the sixth time, the seventh time... He seemed to be in a trance, reading it over and over again, carefully and carefully, even though he had already remembered it well and knew it by heart...

until……

He looked more and more sleepy, and an indescribable boredom and irritability rose from the bottom of his heart.

He doesn't want to watch it anymore.

Illusions still appeared in his mind one after another, but because they were so familiar, he could remember every detail of each illusion, and he almost felt sick, as if he had been hypnotized, completely turning a blind eye to the illusions. The slightest fluctuation, completely calm down!

He finally fell silent.
