Chapter 82: Early Migration, Chieftain-level Rock Wildebeest

On the way to the coastal cliff, Lin Feng asked about Liu Qian:

"The rapid fluctuations in body temperature, what do you think Liu Qian's ability is?"

Chen Shanshan's expression was a little unnatural:

"Liu Qian woke up suddenly, without any strange behavior. But when she took the bottle and tried to drink, the water inside suddenly boiled, and the entire plastic bottle shrank due to the heat..."

"And the heat she releases in just a few seconds is enough to cook more than ten pounds of meat."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, recalling the experience Liu Mingfei mentioned during Liu Qian's awakening:

"You mean, she's like a solar cooker, gathering all the energy in her body into one point."

Chen Shanshan took a deep breath and nodded:
"It might also be related to her near-death experience. However, as of now, she's only at the first level of evolution. Her superpowers probably aren't that strong yet. At most, she can create some low-temperature light sources..."

"Or light a fire with your finger."

"Just like me back then, the effects of the supernatural power later on aren't as mysterious as you describe. At most, it can obliterate someone's sight. How could it possibly deprive them of all their senses?"

Then, Chen Shanshan analyzed emphatically:

"According to the spectrum of super powers, this ability should belong to the advanced category of physical fitness, cellular energy control. It can release different types of energy through contact."

"Although this ability isn't very useful right now, it has great potential for growth. Once it's developed, it might be able to unleash a heat no less intense than the sun!"

Lin Feng thought of the science fiction films he had seen before, but science fiction also needs to be practical. Chen Shanshan lacks common sense:
"The temperature of the sun? That's thousands, tens of thousands of degrees. Who can withstand it?"

"Even if I turn into a fire man and burn all over, won't I get burned too?"

Chen Shanshan realized that what she said was a bit exaggerated, so she added:
"Maybe it's something that glows all over? Or maybe it can infuse energy into something and turn it into an energy bomb. Anyway, developing your superpowers depends entirely on your imagination and exploration."

"However, Liu Qian's hand did have burn marks from holding the water bottle just now. I guess it will take some practice to master it."

Lin Feng nodded and looked at the sun that was growing bigger and bigger behind him. He planned to ask Liu Qian what her awakening trial would be when he had time.

Could it be that the challenge of destroying the sun or avoiding the scorching sun gave birth to this advanced but weak supernatural power?

The two of them walked one in front and one behind, chatting casually while maintaining a steady speed to save energy.

Two hours later, after walking through more than ten kilometers of city ruins, they successfully arrived at the coastal cliff, which was also the place where everyone had followed Old Duncan to capture the male rock wildebeest.

In the past, a ten-kilometer trek could take half the life of Lin Feng, who was only at level seven. But now that he has become a level fourteen evolver in the middle stage of the first order, this distance is like a walk after a meal or a warm-up before exercise.

As expected, only the evolved ones can fully adapt to the harsh environment of the wasteland. If the enhanced people leave Oasis Town too far and go deep into the wasteland alone, they will basically die.

Lin Feng climbed up the ruins of a collapsed coastal lighthouse, took out a telescope and observed the rift valley ahead.

Thousands of years have passed, and the former seabed has cracked into pieces and blocks. Countless gullies of varying sizes at the bottom have swallowed up thousands of rock wildebeests.

The water vapor blowing in from behind condenses deep in the rift valley, eventually forming a periodic stagnant pool.

Now, as the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone approaches, the temperature rises, causing the green dotted inside the rift to gradually wither, and the water pools in the cave are also drying up.

This feast is gradually coming to an end.

"The number of rock wildebeests arriving is decreasing, while more and more are leaving. We have to hurry."

Chen Shanshan noticed that there were very few horses at the entrance and exit of the Bay Rift Valley more than ten kilometers away.

The number is far less than when I first arrived the day before yesterday.

The last wave of rock wildebeests has arrived.

Lin Feng nodded, and while observing and searching for the target, he said:

"Ding Yi did a preliminary count and found that there are three first-level female Rockhorn Horses left, and fourteen late-stage Rockhorn Horses. A total of two tons of dried meat can be collected, all of which is enhanced meat."

"Including the eight cubs, the remaining payload we have is no more than 2.5 tons."

"So, at most, we need to kill two or three more first-level rockhorn horses to fill the carriage. Then, if we have the chance, we can capture a few more live horses to test the effect of the poison."

Chen Shanshan glanced at the time on her watch:

"We've traveled over a hundred kilometers this time. We'll probably be nearing the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone on the fifth day. It's already the third day and night, and there are still nearly two days and forty-eight hours left. We should still have time to catch the horse alive."

Lin Feng put down the telescope and nodded.

Now the team's strength has soared, and the lineup is luxurious, so they can easily defeat a small group of rock wildebeests.

It’s no problem to harvest three first-level rockhorn horses.

The key is how to maximize profits by taking advantage of this last hunting opportunity.

Once the scorching sun engulfed the forbidden zone and the temperature soared, the gathering of rockhorn herds in the rift valley would cease, and the migrating herds would disperse across the boundless wasteland. From then on, encountering large herds of rockhorn herds would depend on luck and the weather.

Right now, female horses are worthless and their evolutionary level is low.

As for a first-stage mid-stage male rockhorn horse, if captured alive, one can be sold for at least 3,000 points, which is more valuable than the two tons of dried meat on the rockhorse chariot now.

But Lin Feng knew that it was easy to kill but difficult to capture him alive.

So the compromise is actually to capture the first-stage male rock wildebeests, which are the group of "bachelors" at the bottom of the cliff below.

For Lin Feng's team today, they are easy to control, and their value as living horses far exceeds that of female rockhorn horses, comparable to the corpse of a mid-stage leader.

Each one is worth at least 2,000 points.

It is also smaller in size, making it easier to control and transport.

Just when Lin Feng made the decision to launch a plan to capture the first-stage early male rockhorn horse alive...

Suddenly, a powerful roar was heard from the rift valley in the distance!
Immediately afterwards, several equally low and long roars sounded in this rift valley!
For a while, it rose and fell one after another, continuously!
The roar spread quickly throughout the entire bay like some kind of signal, and even Lin Feng and the others, who were dozens of kilometers away, could hear it clearly.

Chen Shanshan's face changed slightly, realizing something:
"These are the roars of the leader-level rock wildebeest! We heard them before when we first arrived here."

Lin Feng nodded solemnly.

Leader-level rock wildebeests refer specifically to male rock wildebeests in the late first stage. They lead a large herd of up to a hundred members.

Its own strength is also the best among the rock horn horses.

It is seven to ten meters long and about four meters high, making it a land behemoth. It is even larger than the extinct mammoths in the Old Earth period.

Coupled with the pair of five-meter-wide, thick and sharp horns on its head, it runs recklessly and recklessly.

As heavy as a heavy truck.

The power of the level 14 machine gun was instantly reduced by half in front of them, making it difficult to break the thick layer of rock armor.

When faced with such a behemoth, most first-level evolvers would be terrified and try to avoid it.

But at this moment, what Lin Feng cared more about was the series of strange phenomena that appeared after the roar of the rock-horned horses in front of him.

Accompanied by several leader-level rock wildebeests, roaring from different directions in the rift valley...

Then there were slight tremors throughout the bay.

Many rock wildebeests can be seen, gradually becoming agitated. The roar is like some kind of signal, summoning the rest of the rock wildebeest herds nearby.

Then the horses stood up and began to walk towards the back of the bay rift.

Even the solitary, early-stage, first-level male rockhorn beetles at the bottom of the slope beneath the two men, following the call, left the fertile slope's grassy plains one after another and followed the herd into the depths of the rift valley...

Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan looked at each other and immediately realized the reason why the leader-level rock wildebeests were roaring collectively.

They were planning to leave this gathering place, lead their tribesmen, embark on a new migration journey, and rush to the next water source in advance.

"Isn't it a bit too early? We still have more than two days to reach the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone..."

Chen Shanshan murmured to herself, somewhat incredulous.

Lin Feng picked up the telescope again and saw that behind the bay rift in the distance, several large rock hornbeests, at the leader level, had appeared and were leading the herd behind them away.

After the main group left, many small horse herds also set off early to keep up with the migrating team.

Below the crowd, the group of single male rock wildebeests also followed closely behind the herd and withdrew from the Bay Rift.

All the wildebeests are leaving!

Lin Feng frowned, looking at the rolling dust in the distance, which looked like the departure scene of Oasis Town. He turned around without looking back and said in a hurried tone:
"Let's go back and inform them. The situation has changed, and we have to take action in advance!"

"Now go directly to the right rear of the rift valley and hunt and capture the migrating horses in the river."

After saying that, he immediately took Chen Shanshan away from the shore.

Not long after the two left, an extremely huge beast emerged from the migrating herd of wildebeests.

It is about six or seven meters high and fifteen meters long, like a small mobile building. It is several times larger than those leader-level rock horn horses and is quite conspicuous among the herd.

This is the leader of this herd of wildebeests, whose strength is far above the first level...

The legendary patriarch-level rock wildebeest.

The first powerful roar just now was the command it issued!

Start a new journey of animal migration!
