Chapter 7, Direct Confrontation

The one-eyed man naturally did not know that the thing before him was called a treasure land

The treasure land is certainly not something that can be attacked by mutated creatures

The one-eyed figure looked at the silvery-white vortex with suspicion

Outside, in the convenience store opened by Baodi, located in the community where Wenyu resides

This is the punishment for non-human beings who touch this sacred ground, a form of soul attack, the effect of which is merely intense pain, without causing any harm

Thus, the cyclops was enraged by the gaze of the human before him

So, to what height can one reach in this world, and what kind of role can one play

A foul wind swept over, and the cyclops had already launched its attack, its stinking maw lunging fiercely at Wenyu's neck. If it were to bite down, Wenyu's fate would undoubtedly be no better than that of his dream lover just moments ago.

As soon as the treasure land was revealed, Wenyu had already made preparations for battle, and the earlier provocation was also intended to incite the anger of the one-eyed man

What can I use to thank you? Well, let me send you to hell at the fastest speed possible. This is what Wenyu thought.

One may naturally not fear the loss of limbs, but when the severed limbs belong to oneself, especially when one is not lacking in these, it inevitably evokes a sense of eerie discomfort

This kind of gaze, seen many times through a single eye, gradually diminished only after I armed myself with ferocity and brutality, replaced instead by fear and aversion

Without any wounds on his body, the Cyclops lunged forward, and at the moment of contact with the entrance to the treasure land, a sudden burst of silver light was released from the treasure land, piercing deeply into the Cyclops's body

The continuously rotating silver vortex gradually came to a halt, and the soft silvery-white glow was also steadily diminishing, while the vortex, originally the size of a fist, kept shrinking.

The one-eyed creature decided not to wait any longer and swiftly pounced onto the silver vortex. With a sound of "puff," it let out a wretched howl and quickly retreated.

One's future lies in the distance, in the entire world

Wen Yu carefully experienced the immense power bestowed upon him by the Soul Master, and turned to glance at the soul beast floating on his shoulder

The one-eyed individual even suspected that the person before him might be more powerful than himself

The lone eye of the cyclops fixed intently on the silver vortex before it, slowly advancing with measured steps; this posture was a precursor to the cyclops launching its attack

Wen Yu knew that at the onset of the apocalypse, evolution had already begun, giving rise to organisms that became Level 1 mutated beasts. Their potential is undoubtedly among the top tier of mutated beings, and the combat capabilities of these beasts are certainly far superior to those of humans

However, the one-eyed man gradually fell into despair, as the "enemy" before him showed no signs of weakness, regardless of how he moved.

The originally strange vortex has vanished, replaced by a human whom I am very familiar with—my prey from just a moment ago

Moreover, looking at the human before me, who wore a faint smile and regarded me with eyes full of mockery, that gaze was reminiscent of how I had just looked at this very human—filled with derision and sarcasm

As the one-eyed figure contemplated whether to abandon the humans inside and leave, the vortex before him suddenly underwent a change

The wisdom that is not low told it, just moments ago, the food that was about to enter its mouth—its old neighbor—was drawn into the silvery-white vortex before its eyes and then vanished.

Wen Yu felt a chill in his heart; it was too fast. Just now, the one-eyed creature might have been toying with its prey, which is why it did not fully reveal all of its strength.

However, the human in front of the cyclops caused some confusion. Although there was no change in stature or appearance, the tall and slender body was clad in tattered clothes that had been torn by itself. Strangely, the hands and feet that had been ripped off had regrown. Moreover, there was an additional floating small sphere on the shoulder.

The one-eyed creature heard a sound and suddenly darted backward. Then, squinting its eyes, which had significantly dulled in sensitivity, it gazed toward the original position of the silver vortex.

And now, the furious cyclops lunged forward, immediately making Wen Yuming understand that this beast before him had undoubtedly consumed a considerable number of zombies and humans. It no longer belonged to the category of mutated creatures with a physical attribute of 2, which had just undergone evolution. Based on Wen Yu's experience, he judged that the physical attribute of the cyclops before him had reached at least around 5 points.

The one-eyed creature no longer dared to move recklessly; the recent attack had made it experience a long-lost pain. It must be noted that ever since it had its eye blinded by humans, the one-eyed creature had not felt such intense pain for a long time.

Looking at the silver vortex before him, outside, a beast might be crouching in its own thicket. However, Wenyu understood very well that a mutated dog could no longer obstruct him.

Then, when it shrank to the size of a little finger, the vortex suddenly burst open, emitting a blinding silver light

The exit of the treasure land had already opened at the moment the treasure chest was unlocked. Seeing a silver-white vortex as tall as a person, Wenyu squinted his eyes and thought of the cyclops who had forcibly driven him here

Wen Yu curled the corners of his mouth; this little creature would be his lifelong companion. From their earlier contact, the little soul beast clearly conveyed feelings of joy and curiosity, making Wen Yu realize that this little being was not an inanimate object, but rather an unknown life form with its own thoughts.

The cyclops decided to disregard these complexities. Regrowing would be better, as it would allow for consuming more flesh and blood, thus evolving more rapidly

Wen Yu also glanced at the severed limbs on the ground and let out a heavy sigh

... ...

Wen Yu looked at the fierce beast before him, which was arching its body, and took a small step back to carefully observe the movements of this one-eyed creature

Tsk tsk, I finally have the time to take a good look at you now. It has been a while since we last met, and you have become even uglier, you beast.

To be honest, Wenyu is very grateful to that one-eyed beast. If it weren't for this fellow, he would have certainly transitioned to a warrior, thus missing out on such a perfect profession

At this moment, it has only been 20 minutes since Wenyu entered the treasure land

The truth lay before the one-eyed figure; this peculiar vortex before him was the culprit competing with him for prey

Indeed, I am looking forward to it

The one-eyed creature glanced at the newly grown hands and feet of Wenyu, then looked at the unfinished hand on the ground, its underdeveloped brain completely unable to comprehend the situation before it

The small spirit beast, round and plump, with a body even smaller than a ping pong ball, trembled continuously. Upon noticing its master observing it, it affectionately approached and rubbed against Wen Yu's cheek, providing a pleasantly cool sensation.

This profession has its merits, but the soul beast is too conspicuous; once seen, it is unforgettable. In the future, one can forget about hiding their identity.

The one remaining eye of the cyclops was nearly blinded by the flash of silver light. Startled, the cyclops turned its head and continuously shook its large dog-like head to alleviate the damage caused by the earlier flash.

Therefore, there is nothing left to satirize and mock oneself, nothing left to harm oneself; the human before me must be killed. I must tear him into pieces and then consume him bit by bit, just as I did with the first few humans I ate.
