294: A big white rabbit
Inside the cave.
Wang Chen's mood was somewhat irritable.
The Holy Blood Church was the best Breakthrough point for him to understand his current situation, but the danger from them was also very great.
This had nothing to do with strength; after all, three 5th Rank Awakeners had already died, and the remaining ones were estimated to have dropped to Rank 3, none of whom would be his opponents.
But...
Their identity was the biggest trouble.
The Holy Blood Church would absolutely not be without a backup plan after this conspiracy.
In fact, they might have already dispatched personnel to search for his traces in the forest.
"I can't just sit here and wait!"
"No matter what, I must first figure out my current location."
"Traveling on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield without sufficient supplies is no different from seeking death."
Pondering silently, Wang Chen's eyes gradually became firm.
Waiting here for Master's rescue was merely a last resort for him.
The Myriad Heavens Battlefield was vast and boundless, and he had no means of positioning himself, so Lin Feng trying to find him was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
"Once the three little ones recover, we'll leave here."
"I must find a more secluded location; who knows if the Holy Blood Church has some strange methods."
He struggled to stand up, walked to the cave entrance, and pushed away the blocking boulder, a dim ray of light entering his eyes.
"It's dusk!"
Looking at the darkening sky outside, Wang Chen made a decision.
...
...
When the sky had only just begun to dim, the forest beneath the dense canopy was already almost pitch black, with only faint light filtering through the gaps, forming spots of light on the ground.
Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!
In the dense grass, the blades constantly swayed, as a giant rabbit, half a person tall with ruby-like eyes, was feeding.
While gnawing on the grass, its gaze constantly scanned its surroundings vigilantly.
As the bottom of the food chain in the forest, there were too many predators for it here, each capable of easily taking its life.
Rustle!
Just then, the rabbit's ears twitched, and it suddenly raised its head vigilantly, looking to its left, its entire body buried in the grass.
Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!
Soon.
Under the rabbit's gaze, a strange creature approached from a distance.
This creature was very peculiar, walking upright on two legs, with two arms hanging at its sides, its body very "slender," and it constantly looked around vigilantly as it moved.
Looking at this creature and comparing their sizes, a crimson glow gradually appeared in the rabbit's eyes, and it suddenly felt that the grass in its mouth no longer tasted good.
After eating too much grass, it was time for a change of taste!
Thinking this, the rabbit's thick hind legs pushed off with force, and it leaped directly out of the grass.
Whoosh!
In an instant, it blocked the path of the peculiar creature.
...
Wang Chen walked cautiously through the forest, the accumulated dead leaves of unknown years beneath his feet causing him to occasionally stop carefully to confirm a firm foothold.
The dim light around him, passing through layers of tree canopies, left sparse, faint light spots on the ground, and the entire forest gave him a gloomy and cold feeling.
"How many years has this forest existed? The thickness of the fallen leaves is too ridiculous!"
Pulling half of his leg out of the ground, Wang Chen looked at the hole left behind, a helpless expression on his face.
He had intended to explore the surroundings and search for food and water after dark.
However, he found that even with low-light vision, moving through the forest at night was much more difficult than during the day.
"It seems I should try to stay in the cave at night; the environment here is simply too harsh for humans."
Walking with difficulty through the forest, Wang Chen silently admonished himself.
Most of the monsters in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield were quite large, at least comparable in size to Ice Purity.
These accumulated dead leaves on the ground would only reach their ankles for these monsters, but for humans, half of their bodies would sink in.
If a battle were to break out under these circumstances, Wang Chen felt he might have to specialize as a "Stealth Awakener"!
Thinking amusingly, Wang Chen carefully observed his surroundings.
Whoosh!
Just then, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound, and the next second, his vision blurred, and a half-human-tall figure suddenly blocked his path.
"This..."
After clearly seeing the appearance of the blocking creature with his low-light vision, Wang Chen's eyebrows involuntarily twitched.
It was indeed a giant rabbit, resembling a small calf.
"As expected of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield; even ordinary creatures like rabbits can grow this large and dare to actively attack other creatures!"
Feeling the undisguised hunger in the red eyes of the creature opposite him, Wang Chen couldn't help but shake his head.
At this moment, he was not afraid; although this rabbit was large, it was still within the scope of ordinary creatures. Not to mention that he was a Rank 3 Awakener, even a newly-transferred Awakener could deal with it with some effort.
"It seems tonight's food is settled. Such a large rabbit should be very tasty when roasted, right?"
Wang Chen thought with anticipation, quietly watching the rabbit opposite him.
And on the other side, the rabbit was thinking the same thing.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The rabbit opened its mouth and let out a roar to boost its Aura, then its thick hind legs pushed off, creating two deep pits in the accumulated leaves, and it charged at Wang Chen like a cannonball.
"Oh?"
Seeing this, Wang Chen let out a soft exclamation.
He had to admit that he had underestimated this rabbit a little.
This burst of speed would at least require a Level 10 Awakener to handle.
"It seems that in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, even the most ordinary creatures cannot be underestimated!"
Admonishing himself, Wang Chen did not dodge or evade but directly punched at the large front teeth of the rabbit as it lunged.
Bang!
Without any surprise, the charging rabbit flew backward even faster, crashing heavily into a tree as thick as three people embracing it.
After landing, the rabbit's body twitched a few times, then became motionless.
Fragments of its broken front teeth shot into its head, directly turning its head into pulp.
"Not bad, at least over a hundred pounds!"
"Even with the three little ones, it's enough for a delicious meal."
Grabbing it by its two ears and lifting the large rabbit, Wang Chen weighed it twice, a smile appearing on his face.
"Next, I'll go to the small river I found earlier and clean it."
Wang Chen immediately rushed towards the small river where he had previously fetched water.
It didn't take long for him to reach his destination.
After skinning, gutting, and cleaning the rabbit, Wang Chen satisfactorily washed the grime from his hands, ready to leave.
However, just then, his body stiffened, and his pupils sharply contracted.
