Chapter 135 The Next Target, Los Angeles
On the panel, Jiang Feng's strength had already reached Continent Level, albeit a very weak Continent Level.
The span of body length for Continent Level is incredibly vast; one could say it is like comparing the heavens to the earth. A creature one kilometer long is called Continent Level, and one a hundred kilometers long is also called Continent Level.
But their strength differs by far more than a hundredfold.
Therefore, Continent Level giant beasts are further subdivided into: Village Continent Level, Town Continent Level, County Continent Level, City Continent Level, Prefecture Continent Level, Province Continent Level, and State Continent Level.
There are seven levels, and the strength of each level differs significantly, being several times that of the former.
Among the sea beasts, the eight commanders including the Mosasaurus are only Village Continent Level giant beasts, the weakest existence among the Continent Level.
Jiang Feng suddenly thought that perhaps Lord of the Ocean had not approached Civilization Level. Civilization Level giant beasts feed on planets and are terrifying existences in the universe.
How could it be trapped in a tiny seabed, needing the help of small sea beasts just to destroy a few continents?
Perhaps Lord of the Ocean is just a relatively strong Continent Level; what he broke through to was not Civilization Level, but quasi-Civilization Level.
However, Jiang Feng's current strength is still too weak; even if he has doubts, he cannot verify them.
Even though his strength had just increased a hundredfold, in front of a giant beast like Lord of the Ocean, he wouldn't be able to withstand a single slap.
Over a thousand meters is long, yet also short; it is not even as long as the span of a village.
Breaking through to Continent Level allowed Jiang Feng to leap into becoming a top-tier giant beast overlord, second only to Lord of the Ocean.
Even against the Mosasaurus, Jiang Feng might not necessarily lose. Although his body size is still much smaller than the Mosasaurus, Jiang Feng's strength, Agility, and spirit are certainly not weaker than the Mosasaurus.
In addition to the great increase in strength, his lifespan has reached as long as fifty thousand years.
An entire human civilization has not even lasted ten thousand years; his lifespan could write an epic.
Fifty thousand years later, perhaps humans will no longer exist.
Jiang Feng suddenly felt a sense of melancholy. Although he doesn't have much affection for humans anymore.
But if this world suddenly lost humans, it would seem like something is missing.
Could the meaning of things existing be because of humans?
No, it must not be like that.
Jiang Feng quickly denied it.
As long as I exist, that is enough; my existence is where the meaning lies.
Things are nothing but that, things are nothing but this; all things are one.
Heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me.
A world without humans would still be wonderful. Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, the butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou; what is the difference between humans and things?
Humans are definitely not a special existence!
In short, the Dao cannot be spoken; once spoken, it is no longer the Dao.
True existence transcends linguistic concepts and can only be grasped through intuitive realization rather than logical analysis.
What humans call science has gone down a wrong path. They try to explain everything, try to use logic to depict the truth, and explain the essence of the Dao.
The result is only falling into the dilemma where the more they explain, the more loopholes and unknowns there are, never able to fully comprehend the true meaning of the universe.
Jiang Feng felt that his past human soul was still influencing him; he should completely forget his identity as a human.
Or rather, there is no need to care about the distinction between human and snake; just view humans as a species like rats or monkeys.
Humans are not entirely useless; there are still many merits worth acknowledging.
"From now on, I am me, neither human nor snake, yet both human and snake."
Jiang Feng's voice rang out in the high sky.
However, he quickly revealed a look of shock, because the voice he had just emitted was no longer a baby voice.
It was much more normal; although still a bit immature, it was already very close to a mature tone.
"System, what is going on? Didn't you say the voice depends on age? Why did my voice suddenly change? Did I reach adulthood?"
[Ding, detected that the host's Physique has reached one million, so the host has entered the juvenile period early. Between Physique and age, whichever comes first takes precedence.]
Juvenile period?
Jiang Feng was speechless. Do snakes have a juvenile period?
However, at least his voice wouldn't be mocked by others, and Jiang Feng didn't dwell on it too much.
"System, how much Physique is needed for an adult voice?"
[Ding, the host can reach adulthood upon reaching one hundred million Physique.]
One hundred million?
Jiang Feng was shocked. One hundred million requires two billion fear points.
But then Jiang Feng thought that two billion didn't seem that hard. Destroying one city could earn one hundred million fear points; destroying twenty cities would be enough.
Since that is the case, in order to reach adulthood sooner, he would just continue to destroy cities.
Jiang Feng's Human-Eye Visual Range reached five kilometers, and Thermal Sensing reached ten kilometers.
It could be said that his eyes are telescopes, and his Thermal Sensing is a radar.
He has a clear grasp of movements within a few kilometers, and he no longer fears getting lost.
Even if he were to go find the capital of the USA now, he would be confident in finding it.
Of course, since he had arrived on the mainland of the USA, Jiang Feng did not intend to leave easily.
He came with the goal of destroying the USA and would sooner or later go to the capital of the USA.
He wanted to traverse the mainland of the USA, going all the way from the West Coast to the East Coast.
Destroy everything along the way, spreading disaster across the entire territory of the USA.
Having the memories of his past human life, he is far more dangerous than other giant beasts. Jiang Feng still has some understanding of the geography of the USA.
He knew about the city of San Francisco and also knew that there was another major international metropolis to the south of San Francisco—Los Angeles.
This is the second-largest city in the USA; its scale and population are far from what San Francisco can compare to.
"Los Angeles, this snake is coming; prepare to welcome me!"
Jiang Feng looked to the south, his eyes sharp. His snake body moved, and he sped rapidly toward the south.
After his Agility reached one million, his speed did not increase significantly because once speed exceeds the speed of sound, every point of increase becomes exponentially more difficult.
However, with his one million Agility, his micro-control of his body has once again reached the millisecond level. Previously, due to the increase in body size, his body's sensitivity had once dropped significantly.
Often, when the brain issued a command, it might take a second for the snake tail to complete the operation.
But now, this time has been shortened by a hundred or a thousand times, and he can complete the brain's instructions instantly.
San Francisco and Los Angeles are both coastal port cities. They are not far apart, so Jiang Feng's journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles is also along the coastal plains, not through desolate, uninhabited mountains and forests.
Of course, Jiang Feng would not be foolish enough to walk through the wilderness. If there is a highway to take, why walk through the wilderness? Wouldn't that be a problem?
This is also the biggest difference between Jiang Feng and other giant beasts. When other giant beasts come ashore, even if their intelligence is not lower than Jiang Feng's, they lack human thinking and do not understand human society, so there is a possibility that they might not be able to find their destination.
There is a highway from San Francisco directly to Los Angeles. As long as Jiang Feng follows the highway, he can reach his destination.
Running on the highway, many people fleeing from San Francisco were heading to Los Angeles; the entire lane was filled with cars heading south.
Not a single car was returning from Los Angeles to San Francisco; after all, anyone who isn't a fool wouldn't come over.
After Jiang Feng's million-ton weight crawled over the highway, the originally straight and flat road was long gone.
All that remained was a trench twenty meters wide and several meters deep. At the bottom of the trench, one could faintly see broken road stones, as well as some cars crushed into sheet metal and bloodstains.
That was left behind after the vehicles traveling on the highway were crushed by Jiang Feng.
Perhaps before long, this trench will slowly fill with water, forming a blood-stained canal.
The vehicles in front were driving at full throttle; nothing was more terrifying than that figure behind them, which was despair-inducingly horrifying.
Ten thousand times more terrifying than a demon!
