In the dark woods, in a lawn clearing surrounded by bushes, Wu Qi and Renee were facing each other 5 meters apart.

The wind gently stirred the leaves like a sea, and in addition to the sound of swaying grass and trees, there was also the sound of liquid dripping into the earth.

Renee had one of her left arms cut off, leaving seven or eight slashing wounds on her abdomen and legs. She didn't repair these wounds with her atavistic regenerative powers, and she let them accumulate and look a little embarrassed.

And Wu Qi opposite Renee, he had a burnt black hole on his right wrist, and the long knife was also replaced by his left hand. His shoulders and abdomen were scorched by the energy lightsaber, but in terms of injuries, his was obviously much smaller than Renee's.

"That's enough, don't think you can really threaten me with death, let me fight you without killing you." Wu Qi's voice was as cold as iron.

Renee wiped the blood from her lips with the sleeve of her right hand, and the raised hand paused for a moment before putting it down.

"Today I lost."

"If you lose, you have to lose."

"Okay." Renee obediently turned off the energy lightsaber. Then she adjusted her breathing and bowed slightly to Wu Qi to show her gratitude.

After doing all this, Renee turned and left, gradually disappearing from Wu Qi's field of vision.

The wound on Wu Qi's body was healed in the blink of an eye, and he took a deep look at the place where Renee had disappeared, and turned around and walked back to the cave where he lived.

was forced to fight by Renee, and Wu Qi's current mood is definitely not good. During the battle, he chopped off one of Renee's arms, absorbing her atavistic blood as a price for her offer to fight.

Perhaps because of the same source of power, Renee's blood made Wu Qi's atavistic power that had not been held for a long time finally have a breakthrough. He originally thought that after the atavistic scales covered the entire upper body, if he wanted to improve, he would have to absorb the blood of the third-order overlord, but what was in front of him at this moment was another opportunity to improve.

"Regardless of Renee's purpose in challenging me, she will inevitably learn about my fighting habits and skills along the way. In that case, let's make a fair deal. Wu Qi said in his heart.

Wu Qi's guess was right, and in the next few days, Renee, who was almost the same every night, would come to him and challenge him in the name of asking for atavistic powers. Wu Qi responded one by one, and then injured Renee in the middle of the battle, absorbing her blood.

Occasionally, after the two of them played, they would sit down and chat. Renee even mentioned the time when she was paralyzed in bed after being defeated by Wu Qi. From Renee's tone, it was not difficult for Wu Qi to detect that Renee did not resent him, he and her were more of a goal to defeat and prove themselves. More like an enemy than an enemy.

But what can it be, Renee is the head of the Academia Sinica, Greg Moses, and the forces behind her will immediately turn into his enemy. If she gets in his way, he must knock her down or kill her.

Replaced by the usual Wu Qi, he would refuse Renee's kindness from the beginning, and would not give the "enemy" a chance to come to his side. The current situation is more special, and he will most likely need to use Renee to find the midnight base in the future, so Renee is deliberately approaching him now, but it is in his arms.

Renee didn't know that the target that Wu Qi wanted to solve was also the body that spread the corpse virus, and this important intelligence difference determined who was active and who was passive.

Time passed day by day, Wu Qi's atavistic power steadily increased a little bit every day, and the amount of talk to Renee also increased. He pretended he wasn't aware of Renee's intentions, and let the time pass.

Until the evening of the sixth day. Renee didn't show up that night.

At first, Wu Qi didn't think much about it, and on the seventh night, Renee was still nowhere to be seen.

Whether Renee had an accident or gave up, it is impossible to know if she stayed where she was. Wu Qi used a dawn time to make a gilly suit from plants and vines and other materials. Then he left the cave at a slight dawn and headed in the direction of the wasteland.

There is little cover in the wasteland, and it is easy to spot by scouts. Therefore, Wu Qi used the "gravitational" ability to absorb sand and dust to the surface of the Geely suit, turning it into a desert Geely suit. Along the way, he activated the sensing network to the maximum range, concealing his aura and avoiding all the plague species in his path.

Half a sun had already risen at the end of the eastern horizon, and Wu Qi had successfully reached the end of the wasteland at this time.

Wu Qi saw the cave that Renee was talking about, so he started an investigation around the surrounding rocks.

The sky gradually brightened, and Wu Qi unconsciously shifted from the bare wasteland to the leafy jungle while investigating the surrounding area of the cave. The level of the position he was now at was the lower level of the cave, and on the ground against the rocky walls of the mountain, Wu Qi accidentally found human footprints.

This was the first time that Wu Qi had found human footprints on the outside of the cave rock body, and the footprints were like the lines of combat boots, and the land where Renee had stepped on also had such lines.

Wu Qi could be sure that these were the footprints left by Renee or Renee's teammates, and I wonder if it was because Renee didn't tell her teammates that there were other people in the mountain range, and the owner of the footprints was so careless that he didn't erase the footprints.

Wu Qi thought about it, this should be unlikely. After all, there are not a few individuals of the intelligent plague species in the occupied area, and the innate ability of beasts to track the traces left by other creatures is impossible for excellent soldiers not to be wary of, and it has nothing to do with being purely wary of others.

Wu Qi immediately surveyed the surroundings, but there were no footprints on the surrounding land, and there were no traces of movement on the branches above his head.

"The traces were actually erased, but only this footprint was left out in the hurry......

At this point, there are only two options left, investigate the inner side of the mountain or investigate the jungle. Investigating the inner side of the mountain may reveal the camp of Renee and the others, at the cost of which he will also be discovered.

Surveying the inner side of the mountain is the last resort. Wu Qi finally decided to investigate the jungle first.

Wu Qi spent a lot of time carefully investigating the forest land within a radius of several hundred meters, and finally found a series of complex footprints at a certain moment.

The footprints everywhere are forward, some backward, chaotic and overlapping. The number of footprints stepped on was so large that Wu Qi couldn't tell how many people there were in total, just like tracking the footprints of a jungle wolf pack, it was impossible to accurately judge how many wolves there were in the wolf pack.

"The footprints were deep and shallow, and although they were complex and difficult to identify, there were indeed wounded people in them. There is also a set of footprints the size that were clearly left by the woman. Wu Qi came up with an answer after observing it carefully for two minutes. After a long and boring investigation, he finally found a valuable clue, which made his hunter nature engraved in his blood faintly active.

With so many people walking through this place, Wu Qi could almost imagine Renee's investigation team passing by in full swing. The footprints of the wounded soldier and the hurried steps of a large group of soldiers are intriguing, and the woman's footprints are almost the same size as Renee's.

What was it that caused Renee's investigation team to be injured and made the investigation team rush out.

There must be something ahead of the jungle that deserves him to explore!

Wu Qi's eyes were full of essence, and he continued to follow the chaotic footprints.

Bright sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and leaves on the ground, creating shadows that intertwine the leaves. Suddenly, the shadows of the leaves shook everywhere, and the wind shook the sea of lush canopies, making countless leaves squirm, and even the sea of canopies with the front seemed to come alive.

Accompanied by the wind, there is also a very faint smell, although the smell is light but very pungent, it is a very familiar smell.

Wu Qi flipped through his memories and quickly thought of the smell of the smell: it was a scorched smell, and there was a trace of energy trampling in the scorching, which was very similar to the smell of the hole that Renee had stabbed into her body with her energy lightsaber.

Wu Qi's skin swept over the electric sense of the warning for a moment, Wu Qi frowned, further improved his concentration, and walked in the direction where the smell was blowing.

At a certain moment, when Wu Qi saw a bubbling mountain stream in the forest, his pupils contracted suddenly.

He saw the unbelievable. A large forest across the mountain stream was burned to the ground! The trees were scorched and burned, and the sea of canopies that obscured the sky was in ashes. The sun-drenched land was covered with ashes of grass and trees, and twenty or thirty explosion craters could be seen in the middle.

The sight is literally like dozens of hands. They all fell to the grass and exploded, and then the heat ignited the surrounding grass and trees.

The residual energy fluctuations in the air were terrifying, and Wu Qi's intuition told him that the guy who burned this large area of forest was definitely a plague species whose strength was no less than that of a third-order overlord!

On this side is a forest full of life, and on the other side is a bare burning place. The babbling mountain stream is like a line separating the two worlds, giving people a cruel and wonderful feeling.

At this point, there is no reason to retreat. Wu Qi decisively crossed the mountain stream and stepped on the burning ground.

At the end of the burned land is the valley. The valley floor is covered only with rocks and stubborn plants rooted in the crevices of the rocks. The greenery was all moved to the top of the valley, and it didn't look that big.

Wu Qi realized that he had moved a long distance in this endless mountain range. From the forest to the north of the waterhole, through the wasteland to the east, and then through a large forest to the other side of the burning land. This was no longer the outer circle of his terrain, but the depths of the entire mountain range.

Wu Qi gathered the gravitational energy into his hands and feet, and flew up to the top of the valley. The greenery at the top of the valley is like an oasis in the desert, not vast.

Wu Qi took a step forward, and at this moment, a huge shadow like ** suddenly broke into Wu Qi's field of vision, and the ridge in front of him was directly covered in black. Wu Qi raised his head suddenly, and the sky dome darkened at the same time. The sun, which sat in the east of the heavenly dome, was completely obscured by the body of this behemoth!
