64: Horrible mutant beast

However, Lin Tianwei's prepared strike had absolutely no effect.

It only sent cement dust flying from the wall, but it didn't penetrate.

Instead, he himself stumbled back a few steps due to the immense recoil.

It wasn't that his attack power was weak.

Rather, the Research Institute's old trick was merely using cement as a disguise.

Hidden beneath it was a thick, high-strength alloy iron wall.

Not only that, but this iron wall also had an electric current.

It instantly shocked Lin Tianwei, making him tingle and feel uncomfortable.

He quickly ran backward.

After he moved a certain distance away from the iron wall, the device in his body automatically shut off.

Roughly estimated, this range was about ten meters.

In other words, within ten meters of the iron wall was a forbidden zone.

It was an isolation zone specially set up by the Research Institute.

Still unwilling to give up, Lin Tianwei looked at the iron wall and began to use electromagnetic waves to probe it.

He had to know what was on the other side of the iron wall.

The pervasive electromagnetic waves were like a massive net.

Under Lin Tianwei's control, it attempted to bypass the thick iron wall and spread into the distance.

However, just as the Ultrasonic Wave reached the vicinity of the iron wall,

an invisible defensive wall blocked most of the Ultrasonic Wave,

making Lin Tianwei's probing even more difficult.

After expending a lot of stamina, Lin Tianwei finally received enough information.

He gained some understanding of the world beyond the iron wall.

This was an area primarily composed of sandy land.

Strange-looking mutated beasts resided there.

Bodies composed of three spheres.

Long tentacles.

Pincer-like mouths.

Slender feelers.

And a long stinger stood at the tail.

Even without seeing it with his own eyes, Lin Tianwei didn't dare to underestimate its sharpness.

These mutated beasts resembled ants from memory.

But they were unnaturally large, each one a full fifteen centimeters long.

Most importantly, there were a great many of these ant-like mutated beasts.

Above ground, below ground.

They were everywhere.

If Lin Tianwei dared to enter their territory, he would be swarmed and attacked.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Tianwei chose to turn back and head in another direction.

After running for a long time, Lin Tianwei quickly arrived at another boundary.

It was simple; he smelled a familiar scent here.

A slight transgression meant an electric shock.

However, there was no iron wall here.

Because the lake water was the best defense.

Unless a land creature was an idiot, it wouldn't rashly enter the water.

Especially a huge lake like the one before him.

Under Lin Tianwei's Ultrasonic Wave detection, he quickly discovered mutated beasts hidden in the lake.

This was a Giant Jellyfish.

Its body alone was two to three meters long.

It was transparent.

The red unknown organs hidden within it were very conspicuous.

Countless ferocious tentacles were coiled beneath its body.

The longest even approached five meters in length.

They were menacing and looked terrifyingly abnormal.

Blue arcs of light occasionally flashed, clearly indicating its ability to release electric currents.

At this moment, the Giant Jellyfish was constantly waving its tentacles, preying on creatures in the water.

Any fish touched by its tentacles immediately rolled its eyes and completely lost its combat ability.

This was also a powerful opponent!

Just as Lin Tianwei reached this conclusion,

three tentacles shot towards Lin Tianwei's direction with lightning speed.

Clearly, this Giant Jellyfish had discovered Lin Tianwei.

And it had no intention of letting this land creature, who dared to approach its territory, get away.

Using all four limbs, Lin Tianwei nimbly leaped, dodging the Giant Jellyfish's sneak attack.

The Giant Jellyfish, as if bound by some restraint, did not choose to pursue.

It merely glared fiercely at Lin Tianwei before retracting its tentacles.

It seemed this Primeval Forest was even more complex than he had imagined.

Some mutated beasts were even many times stronger than the Electric Lizard.

Perhaps the reason this forest was so weak was to accommodate Hei Sha's not-so-impressive combat power.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei ran towards the next direction.

Before long, he once again saw the familiar iron wall boundary.

The Ultrasonic Wave was released again.

Half an hour later, he got his answer.

On the other side of the iron wall, there seemed to be a grassland.

Dense wild grass was the best food.

As for the mutated beasts residing there?

Since there were no mutated beasts nearby, Lin Tianwei didn't know.

As for the remaining side, it was also surrounded by an iron wall.

As for the terrain outside?

It was much simpler, just an ordinary forest.

Clearly, this side was the exit of this Primeval Forest.

As for the wider area?

That could only be explored after reaching other territories.

Lin Tianwei's continuous exploration of the territory naturally attracted the attention of the surveillance personnel.

Especially when Lin Tianwei stopped at the exit, Mike's breathing became tight.

If the Tiger King wanted to escape, then he had to stop his actions immediately.

Fortunately, Lin Tianwei ultimately just looked at the iron wall and then chose to leave.

This behavior also made Mike breathe a sigh of relief.

Since Hei Sha's incident, the Research Institute's monitoring of all S-class research organisms had become stricter.

Each of these S-class research organisms possessed powerful abilities and infinite research value.

Any loss would be a responsibility they could not bear.

—

After running all day, Lin Tianwei was also a bit hungry.

It was time to hunt for some more food to fill his stomach.

If he could acquire a powerful Talent, it would be an absolute profit.

Through hunting during this time, Lin Tianwei had also summarized a pattern.

The strength of a Talent was not directly related to combat power.

Even the weakest creatures could yield powerful Talents.

Coupled with the fact that Lin Tianwei could upgrade Talents,

ensuring the diversity of hunted species might be the best choice for getting stronger at this stage.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei followed the scent in his memory and sought out his first opponent.

A group of crocodiles residing by the water.

Crocodiles possessed powerful biting force, and if combined with Lin Tianwei's incredibly sharp teeth,

it would provide a huge advantage when facing many mutated beasts.

This river seemed to be a branch of the lake where the Giant Jellyfish resided.

The river channel gradually narrowed from wide, eventually turning into countless tributaries that ran through the entire Primeval Forest.

A thought suddenly popped into Lin Tianwei's mind.

Perhaps by going upstream along the river, he could quietly launch a sneak attack on the Giant Jellyfish.

However, with his current Water Combat Ability,

actively provoking it would be like walking into a tiger's den.

He still needed to develop cautiously for a while to gain enough strength to contend with the Giant Jellyfish.

These crocodiles, disguised as boulders and waiting by the water, were Lin Tianwei's first step towards becoming stronger!
