CHAPTER 655: CHAPTER 268 EXPLORING YANGSHAN WATER MARSH RESTRICTED AREA_3

Although the Ice Armor protected Zhao Kai, his eyes couldn’t keep up with the mutant snake.

Shadows were everywhere in the air, the grayish-white figure, disappearing right in front of their eyes with every leap, making it hard to catch.

Ding Yan’s expression grew grave, "Such speed, even I can’t keep up."

Liang Yuan nodded, "The speed of this mutant snake must have reached over 35 points in agility, it’s normal you can’t keep up."

As he spoke, his gaze suddenly focused, and launched a Spirit Shock fiercely.

Bang!

A gray silhouette in the air suddenly lost control and crashed into Zhao Kai’s Ice Armor.

The next moment, the Ice Armor’s cold air spread and instantly froze the snake.

Zhao Kai immediately grabbed the snake with one hand, increasing the frost coverage.

Instantly, the entire snake was frozen stiff. The snake’s struggling and twisting body gradually became rigid.

Zhao Kai saw that the snake’s pupils had already split apart, and bloody liquid flowed from them.

"Brother Liang, your Spiritual Power is getting stronger and stronger," Zhao Kai couldn’t help but marvel.

Liang Yuan smiled, "No wonder this place is called a restricted area by the shelter people. Among these mutant creatures, many of them have a single attribute exceeding 35 points, roughly equivalent to the combat power of Tu Long, Wu Meng, Li Yuefeng and others."

"Ordinary Superpower Users can hardly make any progress here."

He walked over to Zhao Kai, grabbed the mutant snake, and with a gentle stroke, there was a cracking sound as the snake’s flesh and bones were torn apart.

Liang Yuan looked around but didn’t find any Rune Bone, shook his head, and tossed it away, "Let’s go."

Ding Yan and Zhao Kai exchanged glances and couldn’t help but let out a breath. This area indeed put pressure on them.

More pressuring was how they unknowingly realized the substantial gap between their power and Liang Yuan’s.

Both still remembered when Liang Yuan struggled to kill Liu Erlong in the building. It hasn’t been long, and he already reached a realm they couldn’t fathom.

Following Liang Yuan, Zhao Kai couldn’t hold back and asked, "Brother Liang, how strong are you now?"

Liang Yuan didn’t stop walking, "How strong? I don’t know without a specific comparison target."

"Just hypothetically, how many Wu Mengs do you think you can take on?" Zhao Kai asked.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment, "Hard to say."

"What?"

"At my current level, numbers don’t matter. No matter thousands of Wu Mengs, as long as they stand before me, a single Spirit Shock might knock them all down."

"Understand what I mean?"

Zhao Kai: ...

He stopped asking. Asking too much would be hard for him to accept.

By this point, the three had reached the riverbank.

The riverbank was densely packed with various plants, and the water surface floated with lots of duckweed and strange plants resembling water chestnuts.

These plants extended far before revealing the water surface.

Due to the relative tranquility here, the water seemed clearer.

They could see numerous mutant fish flashing in the water depths.

Occasionally, shadows of giant creatures would stir the duckweed, creating waves.

Liang Yuan noticed many Frog Monsters perched on the duckweed, croaking.

The duckweed appeared small but had astonishing buoyancy, supporting giant mutant frogs half the height of a man!

Liang Yuan said, "Wait here for me."

With a leap, Ding Yan and Zhao Kai barely saw his movement before seeing Liang Yuan land on the duckweed.

The nearest mutant frog spotted Liang Yuan, opened its mouth wide, and shot out its tongue.

Whoosh!

The tongue shot out like a bullet.

Liang Yuan did not dodge, flicking his finger.

Whoosh——!

The air compressed at his fingertip burst out sharply, sending a stream whistling out.

Bang!

The stream collided with the tongue, exploding.

The tongue instantly turned into a mist of blood, and the frog convulsed in pain before crashing into the water.

The moment the blood scent attracted numerous mutant fish, the water churned violently, bubbles gurgled out, and the duckweed bobbed.

Liang Yuan surveyed the surroundings, noticing the mutant frogs knew to avoid the intimidating creature, jumping into the water one by one.

Ignoring the mutant creatures, Liang Yuan stomped on the duckweed.

The duckweed exhibited incredible toughness and buoyancy.

Even when stomping, the duckweed only sank slightly before resurfacing.

Curious, Liang Yuan squatted and fiercely pulled a duckweed.

To his surprise, it barely moved.

Feeling aroused, Liang Yuan increased his strength, fiercely yanked.

The sudden explosive force transferred, and the duckweed’s lack of resistance pulled him onto a nearby patch.

Liang Yuan was stunned and didn’t continue pulling it but used his Spiritual Power to investigate underwater.

He found these duckweeds had extensive root systems, with stems deeply submerged in the muddy water, strongly grasping the mud, making them hard to uproot.

Additionally, he observed a thick layer of leaves under the water, despite the duckweed’s thin surface.

These leaves were hollow, filled with semi-transparent plant fibers, each fiber formed into a hollow tube.

Liang Yuan pondered, "So these duckweeds achieve strong buoyancy by storing large amounts of air in their internal structure?"

"These duckweeds could naturally be made into rafts for water transportation."

"Liang Yuan, be careful!"

Suddenly, Ding Yan at the shore noticed something, her face changed, and she exclaimed!

Not far from her, a dark red giant creature partially emerged from the water.

The part above water had gnarled spines, just the visible portion over a meter long!

Most of its body remained submerged, concealed by duckweed.

The dark red spiny creature quietly approached Liang Yuan!

It was less than ten meters from Liang Yuan!

In the time between Ding Yan’s alert and her speaking, the distance closed to two or three meters!

Its speed shocked Ding Yan and Zhao Kai!
