Mythical Era: My Electric Eel Clone Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 36: A Good Person

The light in the forest slowly dimmed out, but Chu Lingjun never stopped moving forward.

The most important thing for him now was to find a place to stay, spend the night, and have a hearty meal.

At night, nocturnal beasts would come out and play, and some powerful exotic beasts would even come out to hunt.

Nightfall was the world of mutated beasts, and Chu Lingjun was unwilling to fight them head-on.

Moreover, he had been fighting since noon. He was mentally and physically exhausted and needed a place to rest.

Chu Lingjun glanced at his watch. He was still in first place with 81 points.

These were the rules of the monthly test. Early Stage Level One exotic beasts cost one point, Middle Stage Level One exotic beasts cost five points, and Late Stage Level One exotic beasts cost points.

Luo Chaoxiang was currently in second place with 78 points.

Third place was Zhou Anqi with 77 points.

Everyone's points were very close, and the fight for first place kept changing.

At this moment, everyone was facing mostly Early Stage Level One exotic beasts, with a small number of Middle Stage Level One exotic beasts.

They were all top students of the year, so it was easy to deal with them.

Chu Lingjun guessed that this was also the reason why the school had set up a boss. Everyone's scores were too close to find a clear winner.

It was as if there was a bonus question at the end of the test paper to better pull apart the scores.

After a careful search, Chu Lingjun quickly found a few good hiding spots.

The first place he found was a dry cave. There was no exotic beast feces, so it looked very safe.

The second one was a hole in the trunk of a giant tree. The hole was quite hidden as it had some branches and leaves blocking the front. The size of the hole was just enough to accommodate Chu Lingjun.

The third was an abandoned underground cave. According to the dried feces in the cave, it should have been the nest of a bear.

Chu Lingjun thought for a moment and chose the second option.

However, Chu Lingjun didn't directly rest in the tree hole. Instead, he chose the dense canopy directly above the tree hole.

The top of the tree gave a good line of sight, and he could clearly observe most things from such a high vantage point.

Once he encounters danger, he will be able to immediately escape.

The only drawback was that there were holes everywhere. Once it rains, it would be even more troublesome and uncomfortable to sleep.

However, Chu Lingjun felt that in the face of this exam, he could overcome this little difficulty.

If there was wind or rain, he would come down and hide in the tree hole. This was a way out.

As for the caves in front of him, although he could sleep soundly physically, his heart was not at ease.

Once the exit was blocked by a mutated beast, it would be over.

Chu Lingjun moved some dry grass and dead leaves and piled them on the tree crown as a bed for tonight. Then, he took out the few fish he had just caught in the stream.

In the Old Era, bonfires were very useful at night in the wild. Not only could they drive away wild beasts, but they could also drive away the cold and cook food at the same time.

However, in the new era, starting a fire in the wild was like asking for a beating.

The beasts would come and eat him alive the moment he lights a fire!

After peeling off the fish scales and removing the internal organs, Chu Lingjun ate the fish meat raw.

Chu Lingjun smacked his lips. The taste of the river fish was surprisingly good!

After finishing his meal quickly, Chu Lingjun threw the fish heads, fish innards, and other things far away to prevent any exotic beasts from coming to his hideout. Then, he immediately took the time to rest.

Night fell.

The frosty moonlight shone down from above, passing through the dense canopy and sprinkling silver spots on the trees and the ground.

Other than the silver light that leaked through the cracks of the trees, the rest of the forest was covered in lurking shadows.

Chu Lingjun leaned against the tree crown and looked down. He could barely see a few dozen meters around him, and everything was still a little blurry.

A little further away was the pitch-black darkness. It was so dark that one could not see anything past it, making one feel fear.

Chu Lingjun shook his head. This was also the reason why martial artists rarely spent the night in the wild.

Unless one had cultivated to the level of a Third Level martial artist, their five senses and divine senses would be greatly enhanced. That was why they would dare to fight at night. Were it not for this, they would be completely blind when fighting in the dark.

Chu Lingjun closed his eyes and dozed off. He released the Electric Field and enveloped the surrounding 100 meters.

After resting for an unknown period of time, a glowing figure suddenly barged in, waking Chu Lingjun up.

Chu Lingjun suddenly stood up from the tree trunk and looked towards the west with his eyes wide open.

Not long after, the sound of leaves and grass rustling against each other could be heard from the West.

Chu Lingjun finally saw a figure in ragged clothes with a tired expression rushing over in panic.

"Help, help!"

It was a girl.

Her clothes were torn as she ran for her life. Some of the scratches were severe, making her look pathetic.

Chu Lingjun recognized her at a glance. She was his classmate, Qu Xia.

Qu Xia was a student with superpowers like him, and her superpower was infrared vision.

At this moment, Qu Xia was frantically moving forward in a panic while looking back in horror, screaming for help. Her pitiful appearance made people want to help her.

Behind her, dozens of beasts were chasing after her like the wind.

The group of exotic beasts roared as they advanced. All the trees and grass that blocked their way were directly torn into bits!

Even though Qu Xia looked pitiful, Chu Lingjun stretched his head out to take a look and quickly retracted his neck. Then, he lay down on the tree trunk, motionless and held on to his breath.

That was because the exotic beast chasing Qu Xia was an Early Stage Level One exotic beast, the Gale Monkey!

Their leader was even at the Middle Stage Level One!

This had already completely exceeded Chu Lingjun's ability. He could still deal with a few, but if there were more, he won't be able to handle them!

Why was Qu Xia so unlucky?

How did she encounter such a large group of Gale Monkeys?

Logically speaking, with her infrared vision, it would be impossible for her to be targeted by the Gale Monkeys.

There was a limit to one's strength. The most likely possibility was that Qu Xia had been robbed by them while she was resting and sleeping.

Qu Xia didn't run for long before the group of Gale Monkeys caught up to her.

Qu Xia let out a scream as a golden shield wrapped around her body.

The surrounding Gale Monkeys bared their fangs and brandished their claws in anger as they continuously attacked the golden shield. However, it was as if they were attacking the hardest wall in the world. It was useless.

Chu Lingjun shook his head. After that disruption, he continued to rest.
