"Luoyang..."
Wang Luo thought for a moment, not having many memories of that place.
Ever since the black rain,
The Luoyang River had turned black. He hadn't come here much in his previous life.
Even if he did, it was to search for resources.
Wang Luo shook his head,
Not thinking too much, he would deal with whatever came his way. With his strength, he wasn't afraid of anyone.
Taking advantage of this time,
His gaze shifted to his status panel.

"My status panel finally looks a bit more impressive!"
Dragon's Might was a skill he had comprehended along with Dragon Transformation last time.
This skill exerted a strong pressure on beasts and humans whose levels were not higher than his.
However, this was not a mental skill,
But a suppression from a higher life form.
It was a pity that this skill had no effect on zombies.
As for the wind abilities,
Except for the B-rank skill Rasengan rewarded by the system,
The others were easy to comprehend because he already had a foundation from his previous life!
Not long after,
King Horse brought Wang Luo near the Luoyang River.
It stopped when they arrived.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Luo asked.
"Neigh~~~"
King Horse neighed, then surprisingly drew a picture on the ground with its front hooves.
Unfortunately, its drawing was too abstract for Wang Luo to recognize.
However, he could discern that
It seemed to be several animals fighting over something!
"A stone, could it be an extraordinary material?"
Wang Luo became curious.
People had not discovered any patterns for the birth of extraordinary materials.
It seemed that any stone could potentially be one,
And there was no fixed location where they would appear.
Just like the fire-element extraordinary material Wang Luo found in the mine the first time,
And the one Liu Xinru used to reinforce Zhao Qingxuan's hammer was found by her from who knows where.
"This is getting interesting!"
Wang Luo smiled.
King Horse had found the stone but couldn't bring it back, and was bullied by those animals,
So it had come to him for help.
This was worth pondering.
King Horse was an SSS-rank Bronze beast, yet it could still be bullied?
"Even if the opponents were also SSS-rank beasts, their levels couldn't possibly be Bronze. Then there's only one possibility: their abilities were very peculiar, causing King Horse to suffer a loss!"
As for them being SSS-rank, Wang Luo didn't believe it.
There weren't that many SSS-ranks.
Even if some didn't perish prematurely, there were only a few SSS-ranks, and they wouldn't be common!
"Harrumph~~~"
King Horse snorted angrily, and two wisps of flame shot out from its nostrils.
If he ever caught those guys who ambushed him,
He would definitely let them experience the hardness of his old horsewhip.
A moment later,
Man and horse arrived at their destination.
Upon arrival,
Wang Luo spotted a stone on the rocky shore.
The stone was large, about ten feet in size, and a dazzling golden light emanated from it.
"Gold-element extraordinary material!"
The dazzling golden light already indicated its properties.
King Horse stopped,
Its head swaying left and right, observing the surroundings.
Wang Luo glanced around.
There were some withered reeds nearby rustling.
The black rain hadn't caused all plants to wither; many had survived.
The ones that died were plants that humans could consume.
"Heh, they're actually hiding there!"
Wang Luo smiled and said to King Horse, "Let's go get that stone!"
Instead of searching for them, it was better to lure them out.
The intelligence of mutated beasts was now indistinguishable from humans.
They also knew that the peculiar, golden-glowing stone was definitely a treasure, but they didn't dare approach it.
So they hid in the shadows,
Waiting for other beasts to get close!
King Horse vigilantly watched its surroundings.
It had suffered losses here before.
It was inexplicably ambushed, and then inexplicably had diarrhea!
In short, this place was very strange!
In the reeds not far from the riverbank, several emerald-green eyes were fixed on the scene.
King Horse quickly approached the stone,
Wang Luo waved his hand and directly collected the stone.
Huh?
The beasts hidden in the reeds all showed surprised expressions.
Where did the stone go?
Where did that large, golden stone go?
The hidden beasts in the shadows immediately looked at the man and horse with unfriendly expressions.
They must have done something!
"Heh, it was obtained so smoothly!"
Wang Luo was somewhat surprised.
Those beasts hadn't come out to stop him.
However, the next moment,
A white hoof suddenly appeared from the air and struck directly at the back of Wang Luo's head.
Bang!
Wang Luo, holding Black Abyss, blocked it in time.
The scabbard inlaid with gems collided with the attacker.
The hoof was sent flying back and disappeared again.
"Eh?"
Wang Luo was surprised.
He had only swung his sword backward at that moment out of combat instinct; he hadn't actually seen anything.
"What exactly is that thing?"
"I couldn't see it?"
Wang Luo frowned.
Anything that could ambush him from that position must be able to fly!
But he hadn't seen anything.
"This is truly strange!"
However, Wang Luo could feel that the thing's power was quite formidable!
"It should be an S-rank beast, and its level has reached Bronze!"
In the initial evolution of the apocalypse,
Mutated beasts evolved faster than humans.
Because instinctively they would eat certain things, such as energy source crystals.
But at the beginning,
People didn't dare to eat them, as they were from the heads of zombies. Later, through slow experimentation, they finally realized that energy source crystals could help awakened individuals evolve!
But when humans began to reach the Black Iron level,
Many mutated beasts had already reached the Black Iron level, or even the Bronze level!
King Horse's mane stood on end,
Its black tail was plastered to its hindquarters.
It was this damned thing that had struck its head a few times before, making it flee in panic!
Although it had thick skin,
It couldn't withstand being passively beaten all the time!
"Neigh~~~"
King Horse grumbled,
[If you have the guts, come out and fight me fairly. What kind of skill is sneakiness!]
[If you dare to come out, I, old horse, will show you why the flowers are so red!]
Bang!
Another hoof kicked down from the air,
Solidly connecting with King Horse's rear, causing it to jump in pain.
