After thinking about it, Yao Ran replied, "The last time I used this skill, it was 500 meters, but my wood element ability at that time did not yet break through to level 1. But now, I'm not sure how far I can go since my wood element ability has reached the peak of level three."
After a moment of contemplation, Long Yu said, "Then we will test your reconnaissance skill when we reach Juncheng City's outskirts."
Yao Ran agreed, "Alright."
After traveling for an hour, they finally encountered their first group of mutant animals. Sitting in the passenger seat, Wu Lian picked up the walkie-talkie on the dashboard and said, "There is a group of mutant cats ahead. Get ready for battle."
A moment later, Huang Qian's voice came through the walkie-talkie. "Got it."
Just as Wu Lian set the walkie-talkie down, something heavy landed on the roof of the SUV. Thud!
The impact was so strong that it dented the car's roof. A second later, a sharp, scraping sound pierced the air as something clawed through the metal.
Bang! Creak!
Startled, everyone looked up to see four sharp claws piercing the roof.
Realizing that the mutant cat was attempting to tear off the roof, Yao Ran's eyes narrowed. Without hesitation, she pulled out a high-voltage stun gun from her space using her backpack as a cover, removed the safety pin, and turned it on. A second later, she jabbed the stun gun at the exposed big yellow paw.
Bzztt!
The moment the electricity coursed through its paw, the mutant cat let out a sharp, ear- piercing screech that echoed through the quiet surroundings.
"Nyaa!"
The cry was so loud that it made Yao Ran's ears hurt and made her dizzy. Her body swayed, and she fell back to her seat. Before her head hit the window, Long Yu reached out and caught her.
"Ran Ran, be careful! Are you alright?" He asked as he quickly checked on her.
Shaking her head to clear her mind, Yao Ran replied, "I'm fine."
The mutant cat, now injured its paw, leaped off the roof and rejoined the rest of the group. With daylight breaking, Yao Ran could now see her surroundings more clearly.
Because the mutant cats blocked the road, the SUV and bus were forced to stop. As soon as the vehicles stopped, the mutant cats charged toward them.
Yao Ran gripped her long sword, opened the door, and kicked the mutant cat blocking her path. Before her feet could touch the ground, another mutant cat charged forward, aiming its sharp claws at her throat.
Sensing the incoming danger, Yao Ran swiftly drew her long sword and slashed the mutant cat in one fluid motion, splitting its body into two from head to butt.
