“One has been strengthened!”
Luo Fan was very fast. In a very short time, he had finished strengthening one of the intestines.
“At this rate, I will definitely be able to strengthen all the cells in my body before the nutrients here are depleted.”
“Also, I may be able to split out some more intestines and even store some of the energy.”
He had calculated properly. If nothing went wrong, he would be able to stay here for another half a week.
Moreover, he could stay in the brain of this corpse for half a week, and then shift the battleground to his internal organs and stay there for another half a week.
This time, there was still so much energy, enough for him to grow stronger.
He would be able to develop peacefully till he had the means to survive in the outside world.
However, Luo Fan suddenly stopped absorbing the surrounding energy.
“Hmm? Why is the environment getting warmer, and the temperature rising a little too quickly?”
He turned his eyeball towards the eye socket.
Suddenly, an image was reflected in Luo Fan’s eyeball.
He froze.
A big fire. Endless flames were burning nearby.
Looking into the distance, there was nothing but the rising flames.
It was as if everything had been submerged in a sea of flames. The entire world was engulfed in flames.
“Damn! How did it become like this?”
Luo Fan was dumbfounded. Why was the outside world suddenly on fire?
Moreover, it was not an ordinary fire. It was an apocalyptic fire.
Like a roaring fire dragon, it had engulfed the entire world.
“How could this be? At the rate the temperature is rising, it won’t take more than half an hour for the flames to reach here. Even if the flames won’t reach here, I might still die from dehydration.”
Luo Fan calmed himself down and said, “I have to leave this place quickly. Otherwise, I will surely die here.”
Immediately after, he turned his eyeball and looked at the river not far from the corpse.
“Fortunately, I am close to the river. If I can get into the river, I can temporarily save my life.”
As for what he should do after getting into the river, that was not something Luo Fan should be thinking about.
“I really have to leave.”
Luo Fan glanced at the place where he was, his eye filled with reluctance.
The mixture of tissues and blood slowly became less sticky as the juice inside was being dried out by the heat.
Originally, this should have been an excellent place for development, he could increase his strength significantly.
However, with the fire outside, he had no choice but to leave.
If he did not leave this place, he would die.
No matter how reluctant he was, he had to abandon this place.
Luo Fan’s eight intestines began to withdraw from the mixture of tissues and blood.
“There is no way to make a move!”
“I can only rely on these eight intestines.”
Luo Fan had some regrets. He had been too focused on strengthening the absorption system and making the eye whole in the past few days that he had not considered the capability to move.
Now, he could only rely on the weak mobility of the eight intestines to carry him away.
The eight intestines had withdrawn from the mud of tissues and blood and extended outside the skull.
Next, the mouthpieces on the eight intestines stabbed into the surrounding tissues.
Then, they began to exert strength to tug the eyeball.
As the eight intestines moved, Luo Fan’s entire body began to float and slowly detach itself from the head.
As the intestines pulled, the eyeball came to the eye socket again.
“The fire is getting fierce. I need to hurry.”
After coming to the eye socket, Luo Fan could see his surroundings clearly.
It was really a sea of fire; there was fire everywhere.
The entire world was going to burn up.
“It’s so hot!”
Waves of heat assaulted him. Luo Fan understood that he had to hurry and get out of here quickly. He could not even delay a second.
The few intestines began to extend downwards, continuing to bring the eyeball away from the head.
Under the pull of the intestines, a loud ‘popping’ sound could be heard.
The eyeball landed on the ground and rolled.
“The river is right ahead.”
One both sides of the river were embankments of the same slope, and Luo Fan’s eyeball landed on that slope.
“I just need to roll down the path,”
Luo Fan muttered to himself and ordered his intestines to climb forward.
The eyeball was not exactly round, and it was very sticky, so it was difficult to roll even on a slope.
But with the pull of the intestines, things were naturally different.
The eight intestines crouched below the slope, and pulled at Luo Fan’s body.
Because it was a downhill slope, it did not take much effort for Luo Fan’s eyeball to roll forward.
However, Luo Fan could not be happy at the moment. He also did not feel that his current speed was fast.
If possible, he wanted to roll straight down.
Just after he had rolled a short distance, the fire had already spread to the corpse he had come out from.
In an instant, that corpse and the surrounding corpses were all engulfed by the fire.
With a difference of just a minute or two, Luo Fan would have died in the fire.
Scorching flames had swept in from behind.
Luo Fan’s body tried to tumble downhill as best as he could.
Suddenly, an explosion occurred behind him.
Boom!
A powerful blast wave swept over, spewing large amounts of debris from the center of the explosion.
“Not good!”Luo Fan thought as he used all his strength to roll down the slope.
The cars around him started to explode. Luo Fan felt it was getting more and more unsafe here.
Fortunately, as Luo Fan was tumbling down, the sticky fluid on his body had mixed with the soil, and now, he was able to really roll.
As his intestines moved, Luo Fan rolled further and further away.
Thump!
Luo Fan had entered the water. Another huge wave of fire came behind him.
“The water is all hot!”
He felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
Upon entering the water, Luo Fan began to sink. Soon, he sank to a place not too deep below the water.
“What should I do next? I won’t be able to live for long in the water.”
“I wonder how long this fire will last. Will there be any sustenance for my survival after the fire has been extinguished?”
At this moment, Luo Fan, who had just escaped the sea of flames, was beset with the next problem, which was how was he going to survive here.
Luo Fan’s eyeball surveyed its surroundings. The river was filled with ashes. The residue of what the flames had burnt, had floated in the air and fallen into the river.
The carcasses of a group of fish were floating belly-up on the surface of the river, and moving along with the current.
“That’s food. Maybe I can rely on these dead fish to survive.”
Luo Fan could not take his eye off the dead fish as he tried to figure out how to get them.
“I’ll give it a try.”
The few intestines began to swing, lifting Luo Fan’s body.
Lifting the eyeball in the water was much easier than lifting it on land.
The intestines easily lifted Luo Fan up and launched him out.
He swam forward like a squid.
Although it looked very clumsy, Luo Fan’s body did move. The eyeball began to float towards the surface of the water, towards the dead fish.
As Luo Fan pushed harder, one of the intestines touched the surface of a dead fish.
Then, the needle-like mouthpiece on that intestine pierced into the fish’s body.
“I can finally absorb energy again!”
Luo Fan relaxed. He had escaped from the sea of fire and also averted the existential crisis.
“I’m quite lucky!”
He sighed.
After all, he had just escaped from the sea of fire and also found supplies in a short period of time.
But at this moment, Luo Fan had not relaxed for long when a huge black shadow emerged from the water..
