Throwing Quisangsi’s body aside, Lu Ren pondered for a while before finally finding the communication module scattered on the ground due to his swollen hand.
The military had already set up a base station here and, after much effort, launched four satellites, only to find that the high-altitude gale at 50,000 meters was extremely terrifying. Without a concrete solution, they had to settle for establishing ground base stations. With military-manufactured communication devices, communications within a thousand-mile radius were still possible.
Although the signal was sometimes good and sometimes bad due to the pulse particles in the air, having it was still vastly different from not having it.
At the very least, he could still contact the Luozi Mountain Base for now.
After Lu Ren rummaged around and found the communication device,
he realized that the device had long been damaged when his left arm transformed and swelled, though it could still light up, it only showed a blue screen.
Having tried all the buttons and seeing that it was no longer usable, Lu Ren had no choice but to give up.
Originally, he planned to leave Quisangsi’s body here and call Chen Daoli and the others from station three to take away this highly valuable research specimen through the communication device.
But given the current circumstances, he could only temporarily abandon it here, planning to retrieve it when an opportunity arose in the future.
After a brief consideration, Lu Ren turned his head to look at the distress button on his armor.
Wouldn’t pressing it be quite embarrassing?
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Ren ultimately shook his head and walked away. After all, since his communication computer was damaged, it should also have a record of the interruption, and others could locate it by this final position of the disrupted communication.
Li Ziqing’s grievance was still unavenged.
Just the deaths of the bald man and Quisangsi were far from enough.
Now that he knew the exact location where the Beautiful Country entered this world, he had to check it out no matter what.
As time ticked away, Lu Ren, after hiding the bodies of Quisangsi and the bald man and thoroughly smashing his communication device, continued his journey.
According to the information given by Quisangsi, the entrance to that passage was not too far from here, less than 2000 kilometers away. Given Lu Ren’s current pace, it would only take a day and a night to reach.
After replenishing his expended physical strength, Lu Ren, without further hesitation, continued on his way.
However, as he continued his journey, he discovered that the deeper he went into the forest, the more exotic the creatures became, and even some primate creatures were watching him from a distance.
These primate creatures were especially like giant apes, each standing at least three meters tall, with muscles packed all over their bodies, terrifyingly thick arms, and entirely covered in jet-black fur. Most striking of all, these giant apes were actually social creatures.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they were the overlords of the forest.
They stood just like that on high tree branches, looking down at Lu Ren as he passed below.
Seemingly feeling the strong aura emanating from Lu Ren, these highly perceptive primate creatures stood still.
Lu Ren, on the other hand, made no move to disturb these creatures, mainly because creatures resembling humanoid primates made him feel somewhat repelled; such creatures with formidable physiques likely contain substantial nutrients in their flesh.
But as Lu Ren continued his journey, he became more and more shocked; it seemed like he was now in the dense forest core, and the deeper he went, the more chilling the gaze from countless creatures became, while some smaller-sized creatures instead posed considerable danger to him.
More so, there were some massive creatures squatting, each domain having its fixed powerful creature.
If Lu Ren wasn’t in a rush, he indeed would have liked to stop and test the strength of these mighty creatures.
And these squatting powerful creatures seemed to feel that Lu Ren was not to be trifled with, and upon realizing he was just passing by, they simply played dead, waiting quietly for Lu Ren to pass.
This dense forest was eerie.
Some gazes more akin to those only humans would emit appeared in these animals’ eyes.
While passing through one area, Lu Ren encountered a few small creatures near a water source that surprisingly gave him a significant sense of danger.
The gaze from them was like a sinister old man sizing him up.
Wonder how the flesh tastes...
Thoughts churning in Lu Ren’s mind, logically, such exotic creatures must possess considerable medicinal value, as many novels describe creatures whose flesh contains immense energy.
By normal logic, if the creature’s flesh contains immense energy, it indicates a terrifying level of strength.
The two are corresponding.
Suddenly, Lu Ren stopped and squinted at the creature standing before him.
This was a four-legged beast with deep blue scales, standing four meters high, and its feet weren’t hooves but claw-like, resembling chicken feet, with its tail swinging bright red whiskers resembling fire, constantly flickering.
A horse’s face, chicken’s feet, leopard’s body.
Lu Ren was quite uncertain; what astonished him most was the human-like emotion in this creature’s eyes, looking at him with hatred, murderous intent, as if seeing a sworn enemy, poised to devour him.
"Ding, a subspecies Qilin with the bloodline is watching you. It seems it wants to play with you joyfully and invites you to be a guest inside its belly."
Lu Ren’s mouth twitched. It wanted to play intimately with him!
He wondered if the meat of such subspecies Qilin within this Kunlun Exotic Realm would give him a different experience.
Thinking of this, Lu Ren’s gaze towards this subspecies Qilin suddenly changed.
This piercing gaze made the subspecies Qilin snort loudly, then began to accelerate underfoot and charged at Lu Ren, quite fast, making him reminiscent of the bull he encountered in the Otherworld Ruins.
The heavy sound of landing made Lu Ren determine that the opponent’s weight was far heavier than its size appeared, perhaps due to high tissue density or skeletal, scaly things.
Probably not for now, as the transformation of the Ten Lands Mahayana Golden Body Bodhisattva Path requires time for adequate change, so maybe he should experiment here?
Is the clothing necessary?
Lu Ren hesitated most about whether, if he deployed the First Rank of transformation from the Fourth Land of the Ten Lands Mahayana Golden Body Bodhisattva Path, the Fourth Earth’s Bodhisattva Statue could be comprehended, then say goodbye to his clothes; this armor barely warmed and would be lost upon entry.

It’s too wasteful, and forget about the tight combat suit.
Highly likely to burst.
Lu Ren looked down, the armor on his arms was gone, and the leg armor was precariously shaking due to the exertion. The upper armor crackled in a worrying quality.
This won’t do; a slight exertion cracked the armor. He must share his opinion with the people here and develop a set of Martial Arts Family’s exclusive, retractable armor!
Otherwise, with armor bursting everywhere, the expensive armor vanishes upon taking it out; no one can withstand such consumption.
Might as well not wear it.
No wonder Chen Daoli looked at him so oddly when seeing him in this armor.
While contemplating, Lu Ren decisively tore off the armor, facing the charging subspecies Qilin without any intention to retreat.
Exploring the limits after achieving Bright Awakening, the transformation and Flame Wisdom Land within the Ten Lands Mahayana Golden Body Bodhisattva Path gleaned from the system.
To this day, he hasn’t reached a bottom line; the transformative changes after Bright Awakening far exceeded his imagination.
The appearance of the Flame Wisdom Land of the Fourth Land gave him profound wisdom, gradually altering his perspective of the world.
A step forward, Lu Ren fully operated the First Stage of transformation of the Ten Lands Mahayana Golden Body Bodhisattva Path.
At that instant, under the extremely pure Spirit will and magnetic micropower control, his cells rapidly mutated, his body continually expanded, growing large and small tumors all over, the organs proliferated and expanded, altering the organ structure.
The bones became thicker, a series of ribs spawned bone links, even generating additional ribs, forming plate ribs to overlap with the existing ones.
The tumors eventually squeezed and connected, forming a whole, becoming twisted muscles, muscular knots, thick skin, the complexion like bronze with metallic sheen.
And his hair fell out completely, cyan veins protruding on his scalp, driving the skin to form rings of tightly packed meat ridges.
In less than five seconds, Lu Ren expanded from a person just over one meter ninety to a massive physique exceeding three meters.
By then, the clothes were completely ripped apart, barely hanging in tatters, even the most vulnerable lower body had retracted into the abdomen, the bottom smooth and devoid of any protrusions.
The subspecies Qilin was shocked by this scene, hastily stopping its running stance, carving deep grooves into the ground with its four legs.
No turning back, the subspecies Qilin frantically retracted its legs backward.
Though their body sizes were similar, the opponent’s changes were surprisingly terrifying.
No psychological preparation at all!
Running out to scare people, is it really okay?
Lu Ren’s eyes were filled with bronze patterns as his pupils turned sapphire.
His gaze revealed pure greed.
A foot lifted forward, and fell.
A clear white airflow was kicked into the soil, forming a moderately sized pit about a meter in radius, soil and rocks surged like waves as Lu Ren rapidly closed in on the subspecies Qilin with a deeply booming sound.
Like a modern fighter jet suddenly accelerating, about to burst through the sound barrier producing a thunderous roar.
Upon hearing the commotion behind, the subspecies Qilin turned around, its soul took flight; its four claws almost took off.
Yet, under a late advantage, Lu Ren had already seized the tail of the subspecies Qilin, his arm muscles suddenly expanded.
