Wu Hen advanced forward and saw a headless Alien Monster.
This Alien Monster, with its teeth bared and claws flailing, actually wanted to make Wu Hen its dinner.
Seeing this Alien Monster with only a Night Ghost level of strength, Wu Hen couldn't help but laugh.
It seems he had suppressed his strength well enough that even a low-latitude creature dared to swagger before him.
Of course, to blend into this environnt, Wu Hen pulled out an iron sword he had found on the roadside and began to fight with it.
This was truly a vigorous and thrilling battle, although rely a fight between two weaklings.
Interestingly, this scene was witnessed by a passing exploration team.
They watched Wu Hen with amused smiles, observing him as he alternated between being at a disadvantage and exerting his full strength against the Alien Monster, finally overcoming it after losing his iron sword, and then they applauded for Wu Hen as if they had just watched a performance.
"Hey, little bro, you fought so hard, do you want a lift?" one of the n carrying a sniper rifle said.
"I'm heading to Alien Species Ruins, are you guys heading there too?" Wu Hen asked.
"Yeah, who isn't? To collect Mutant Condensed Liquid, truly anyone dares to run to Alien Species Ruins. With your weak strength and being alone, you'll soon beco the feces of these Alien Species," the man with the sniper rifle said.
"No worries, I can manage on my own. However, if you could point in the right direction, or if you have so obvious landmarks to tell about, I would be very grateful," Wu Hen said.
"Head upstream along the sewage river, and when you see a dam, head in the direction of the setting sun, and you'll see the Alien Species Ruins. It's said that Evil Spirits frequently appear near the dam, and they are tougher to deal with than the Alien Monsters here. Are you sure you don't want a lift? You are worried we might harm you, haha," the sniper rifle man said.
"Hehe, I move slowly and am afraid of dragging you guys down, plus I don't have much clean food left and need to look around nearby. Thanks for your guidance, and if fate allows, we'll et in the ruins," Wu Hen said with a laugh, declining the group's kind offer.
"Little bro, catch this," the sniper rifle man said as he casually tossed a bag of liquid. It was erald green and shimred slightly in the sunlight, "This is so low-grade Mutant Condensed Liquid we collected along the way. If you can cleanse and drink it, it might help with the evolution of your body. You're too weak."
Wu Hen took the contaminated liquid given by the man and examined it closely, his face showing a hint of confusion.
"What, you don't even know what this is? What are you doing here then?" said a red-haired young woman from their team at that mont.
"I really don't know," said Wu Hen with an embarrassed smile.
"Hick, dragging a dirty stray dog along, truly starting like a nobody thinking they can rely on luck to find Advanced Elent Spirit in the wasteland!" the red-haired young woman mocked.
"Lu Xian, don't talk like that. She didn't steal or rob, she might have just co from her hotown. It's not easy to walk alone in this otherworldly place, unlike you who has always had us veterans to guide you." The sniper criticized the redhead young woman for a few words.
The woman nad Lu Xian snorted coldly, showing dissatisfaction.
The sniper helplessly shook his head, then opened the Water Purification Bottle, distributing water to the team while explaining to Wu Hen, "Besides Yuan You, the most valuable thing in this land is Mutant Condensed Liquid. The Da Xuan Dynasty's market price has almost reached that of Pure Yuan You...."
"What is this stuff for, will drinking it cause Mutation?" Wu Hen asked.
"It really can cause Mutation. I've heard about it, but I'm not sure if it's true. The Da Xuan Dynasty has an organization that is developing War Beasts to fight against the Human Clan. These War Beasts are actually Mutant species that beco stronger by continuously absorbing Mutant Condensed Liquid until their bodies are comparable to so Gods. Haven't you noticed that the small animals and large Beasts here are different from other places? They are also absorbing Mutant Condensed Liquid more or less," the sniper said while walking towards Wu Hen.
Wu Hen deliberately showed a hint of caution, though he was clear that the other party had no malice.
The sniper smiled and then told Wu Hen, "It's good to be cautious around strangers; this vigilance can save you many tis. But I'm just giving you so clean water."
Wu Hen took the clean water from him, observed it for a while, and then drank it.
Most of the substances in this land have been contaminated by radiation, and not many can be consud directly. Yuan You, used as a cleansing agent and stimulant, has increased in value multiple tis here, making it the hardest currency.
"Actually, I am a student at the academy, and my graduation project is to find the source of this Mutant Condensed Liquid..." Wu Hen said.
"From Da Xuan Academy?" the sniper asked.
Wu Hen nodded.
Of course, he wasn't actually researching the origins of Mutant Condensed Liquid.
From the navigator's handbook, Wu Hen learned that this Mutant Condensed Liquid was heavily related to the Desert Dust God of the third-class stars, most likely a Divine Seed he scattered in this low-latitude world, using the soil and species here as nutrients to nurture it until it grows robust.
Unfortunately, when the navigators ca in contact with such a Mutated environnt, they couldn't find the root of the problem, and hence couldn't track down any projections of Cangling on this land.
Wu Hen felt this clue actually quite clearly pointed towards Cangling, but the navigators were hurried at the ti and didn't delve deeper... Of course, it might also be because the mortality rate for explorers here was too high, so they gave up after weighing the options.
Wu Hen planned to pursue this himself and find the root of the Mutant Condensed Liquid.
However, he wasn't quite sure about the impact of Mutant Condensed Liquid on the surrounding environnt and species, and he also needed to interact with these experienced Gold Seekers who had been wandering here for a long ti.
It was evident that this wasteland was once a very prosperous nation, with continuous large cities, a very developed transportation network, and remnants of once prosperous giant industries and advanced mineral veins, but it's unknown what it went through, and ultimately it was eroded by grayish-black sandstorms, turning into the post-apocalyptic wasteland seen today.
"Since you're doing research, I won't give you false information. A kind of Alien Species called Sang Demon has appeared in the wasteland, and their live price on the black market has reached ten tis that of Advanced Elent Spirit. If you want to know the root of the Mutant Condensed Liquid, try interacting with these Sang Demons, but they evolve and Mutate very quickly. With your strength... it's best to just observe from a distance, don't get discovered," the sniper said.
