Chapter 1488: Emergence! (2)
Several monsters have entered the belly.
Every swing of the blade.
Marks the beginning of ‘food’ preparation.
Two hours!
When the daylight became bright, the ‘food’ in this wilderness rapidly decreased.
At first, the ‘food’ surged like a vast ocean of stars.
Later, it was Jason who actively hunted, making it like a drop in the bucket.
People.
Easy to go from frugality to extravagance.
Hard to go from extravagance to frugality.Looking at his satiation level that soared to 30,011 points, Jason couldn’t help but sigh.
How many low-level minions did he just eat?
Hundreds?
Or thousands?
A bit hard to keep track.
However, there is one thing Jason can confirm.
The ‘food’ called ‘low-level minion monsters’ should be distributed in clusters, just like the ones he just ate were probably from several clusters occupying a one-kilometer radius.
These ‘low-level minion monsters’ were distributed all around.
When prey appeared, they swarmed in.
Moreover, they didn’t cooperate.
They competed.
They even fought.
More than once, Jason’s perception confirmed that these ‘low-level minion monsters’ were killing each other to compete for him.
"Just nearby there is such abundant food.”
"What about further away?”
Anticipation appeared in Jason’s eyes.
However, he did not act immediately.
Instead, he turned to look at the cave they temporarily used as a base.
One of his [Kaya Seal] at the perimeter had been touched.
…
Inside the cave, Lauren Delder, who was snoring softly, suddenly opened his eyes.
The snoring did not stop.
It still maintained the same rhythm.
There wasn’t even a tiny fluctuation.
But in Lauren Delder’s eyes, there was a chill.
On the way to the ‘sanctuary’, he had arranged many little gadgets around.
These little gadgets had no lethality.
But they were absolutely vigilant.
When an unfamiliar scent approached, they could alert him at once.
And just now, the mother of those gadgets gently pricked him.
Pain.
And made him instantly alert.
Lauren Delder turned his head to look.
The ‘old man’ was still snoring, yet his eyes were wide open.
It seemed…
He woke up even earlier than Lauren Delder.
Lauren Delder wasn’t surprised by this.
Being able to find Jason despite layers of pursuit after his own faction was wiped out by ‘Jing’, how could he be an ordinary person?
Lauren Delder raised his hand lightly, making a gesture.
The ‘old man’ nodded slightly.
In the next moment, Lauren Delder dove underground.
As if the ground was made of water, he silently entered it.
Merging into the earth, Lauren Delder’s speed suddenly became swift, like a leopard pouncing out of the bushes, heading straight for the ‘intruder’ who had appeared at the cave entrance.
Lauren Delder did not know where this ‘intruder’ came from.
A resident from ‘Nightless City’?
A subordinate of ‘Jing’?
Or someone hiding in Zone 30?
All of these were possible.
However, it was unimportant.
What mattered was that this guy was overflowing with murderous intent.
Even inside the cave, he could feel the cold killing intent pricking his scalp.
As for how the opponent found this place?
The owner of the secret passage, Kulin, made a hole in the wall blocking Zone 30.
Since Kulin could do it.
Others naturally could too.
Lauren Delder was swift, but there was no sound as he emerged from the ground, and he skillfully chose a blind spot in the ‘intruder’s’ line of sight.
This strike, Lauren Delder was sure of it.
Yet, this seemingly certain strike.
Missed.
The ‘intruder’s’ body instantly folded like a piece of paper.
Swaying with the gust from Lauren Delder’s force.
Nimbly dodging Lauren Delder’s claw strikes in an inconceivable manner.
While counterattacking.
Two slender, origami-like long swords suddenly appeared in the opponent’s hands.
One long sword deflected Lauren Delder’s claw.
The other long sword thrust straight at Lauren Delder’s chest.
Clang!
When Lauren Delder’s hand met the opponent’s sword, it made a sound like metal clashing.
Then, a tremendous suction appeared on the opponent’s sword, firmly sticking to Lauren Delder’s hands, while the other sword continued to thrust at his chest.
Lauren Delder’s face twisted.
Writhing and struggling incessantly.
But it was useless.
The paper sword got closer and closer.
Just as it was about to pierce Lauren Delder’s chest, the former associate of this ‘big figure’, the panic in his eyes vanished instantly, leaving behind only—
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Thread-like transparent filaments had somehow already sneaked to the ‘intruder’s’ feet.
At this moment, those threads jumped up, stabbing towards the ‘intruder’.
The transparent threads were faster than the ‘intruder’s’ paper sword.
Undoubtedly, they could kill the ‘intruder’ before he pierced Lauren Delder’s chest.
That’s what Lauren Delder thought.
But just as the threads were about to pierce through the opponent, a repelling force suddenly appeared on the opponent’s sword.
Not only were the threads blown away.
Even Lauren Delder himself lost his balance, retreating repeatedly.
While Lauren Delder was struggling to stabilize himself, the repelling force became suction again.
