I'm not just human!

Who exactly is this great being? What does he look like? And just how powerful is he?

……

"Ninety-eight..."

"Ninety-nine..."

"one hundred!!!"

A violent feeling of exhaustion came from every muscle in my arms, shoulders, and back.

Xia Fa let go of the horizontal bar and let herself fall until she landed on the beach with a "bang".

Countless grains of sand shot up as he struggled to get up, but he didn't see that tens of thousands of grains of sand behind him suddenly disintegrated into a gray mist of time with a "bang," all of which surged into his muscular back.

These grains of sand, which had clearly existed on this beach for a long time and were not newly created, have somehow turned into the gray mist of time.

This is like what people lost in the fog of time see: in the fog of time, there is no past, no future, and no present; or rather, the past, present, and future exist at the same moment, just like these grains of sand.

Xia Fa sat on the beach, staring blankly ahead. The temporary lapse in concentration caused by overexertion was still affecting him.

After a while, he seemed to suddenly recover and reached his hand behind his back.

"Huh, why does it feel a little itchy..."

After scratching his back, Xia Fa took out the bronze box given to him by the fanatical tomb raider, took out a piece of flesh from the wall of flesh, about half the size of a wall, and began to gnaw on it fiercely.

He ate with great relish, like someone who had run dozens of kilometers after being starving for three days and then encountered a juicy stew, completely ignoring the strong smell of blood.

In just a few minutes, he finished gnawing on the flesh of the wall of blood and flesh, which was half the size of a wall. Then, patting his round belly, he let out a long, comfortable sigh and lay back down on the beach.

"The flesh of this wall of flesh is truly a treasure, it's just a pity that too much has been used up recently, and only a third remains..."

At this moment, within his stomach and second heart, the physical flesh of the Wall of Blood and Flesh was transforming into an immense and extremely pure extraordinary power, continuously nourishing every inch of his muscles and greatly relieving his fatigue.

Suddenly, Xia Fa realized that something was wrong.

"Huh, I finally broke 100 pull-ups, what happened..."

Previously, after breaking the 85-pull-up mark, I practically grew a second heart, which greatly enhanced my strength in all aspects; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to break the 100-pull mark today.

But now, even though he has clearly surpassed one hundred pull-ups, he doesn't feel any change.

Of course, it's also possible that changes have already occurred, but you just haven't noticed them.

For example, when I first broke the 100-push-up barrier, I didn't feel any change at all until I sat down at the table with the feeling of hunger and the urge to eat a big meal...

Yes, the ability to "randomly freeload" that I gained is still extremely useful to this day. For example, the meat in this flesh wall was obtained by tracking down the flesh wall through random freeloading.

Not to mention, when he randomly mooches off meals, he can transform into a disguised quasi-celestial-level entity called "Glutton," which remains one of his biggest secrets to this day...

"Never mind, I'll take a shower first, then go to the treehouse for a nap. After today, there will only be one day left until [Eternal Critical Strike] is released..."

With that thought in mind, Xia Fa pushed himself up from the beach and sat up again.

Although I'm still very tired, sleeping on the soft velvet bed in the treehouse is definitely more comfortable than lying on the beach.

However, the moment he sat up, he felt a moment of mental confusion.

Everything around me has changed.

The first thing that catches the eye is a giant city.

Although it is called a giant city, its walls are only twenty meters high. Compared to the walls of the City of Ten Thousand Stars and the City of Augustus, which are tens of thousands of meters high, the walls of this giant city are as short as mounds of earth.

However, Xia Fa immediately realized something.

Such a high city wall can only mean one thing... It was built by humans without supernatural powers, representing the limit of productivity of medieval human civilization!

Xia Fa was slightly startled when he looked down at the city walls of the giant city.

Below the city wall, countless deformed monsters roamed.

These deformed monsters look similar to humans at first glance, but some have arms so huge that they can drag on the ground, some have several mouths on their heads, and some have bony spurs protruding from their backs like sharp swords... Moreover, most of the flesh of all the deformed monsters is exposed to the air, and their skin has disappeared.

Their heads were covered with tumors of all sizes, some of which burst open with a "bang," oozing foul-smelling, yellowish pus.

"Lorete, what are you standing there for? Are you scared?"

A deep, resonant voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Xia Fa turned his head and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a witcher.

The witcher wore a linen shirt and leather pants, with two longswords at his waist, and long black and white hair tied in a ponytail at the back of his head.

What is particularly striking is his face, which is covered with crisscrossing scars, almost disfiguring him.

In an instant, Xia Fa remembered something, or rather, some fragmented memories that did not belong to him at all surged in from the void and were forcibly "stuffed" into his brain.

This witcher was the captain of the escort team, and he himself was one of the hundreds of team members.

What they were escorting was a vital treasure called "Mutant Crystal Source," which was crucial to the survival of the giant city before them, the Worm City.

That's right, the giant city in front of us is called Worm City.

Xia Fa looked to his left and right and saw the ships unloading cargo behind him, as well as the boundless sea.

This is a huge island, and he knows this place all too well.

It is... the Worm Islands!

The Worm Islands, where the City of Ten Thousand Stars is located!

Moreover, it's right on Sandworm Island!

But now, Sandworm Island is still there, and even the bay is almost the same, but the City of Ten Thousand Stars is gone, replaced by this Worm City with a city gate only twenty meters high, and the foot of the city wall is full of deformed humanoid monsters.

He himself became a member of this escort team.

After a difficult journey on the high seas and countless battles against mutated sea monsters, only six members remained out of the hundreds of team members, and he was one of them.

Although he had figured everything out, Xia Fa's mind was still filled with endless, heavy fog.

"What is this? I've time-traveled a second time? No way..."

"This is clearly the planet Caligi, and it's on the Worm Islands in the Baron Ocean, even on Sandworm Island, which I know very well..."

"But why is the City of Ten Thousand Stars gone? And why do these deformed monsters look so weak, yet everyone seems to be on high alert?"

That's right, to Xia Fa, these deformed monsters were at most at the fungal level.

The escort team members have all gone out to sea, so they couldn't possibly only be at the Bacterium level, right? Especially this captain who looks like a Witcher, he exudes the aura of a very strong person.

Just as Xia Fa was wondering, suddenly, the back of his right hand itched, followed by a cold, stinging pain, as if he had touched frozen metal.

Xia Fa looked down and his pupils immediately contracted.

On the back of his hand, there appeared an hourglass made of gray mist. The upper part of the hourglass was full, but mist was falling from it into the lower part.

"Could it be that once this hourglass runs out of sand, I can go back?"

At this moment, in this situation, Xia Fa could only make this guess.

He suspected that the reason he suddenly came to this place was because of the effect of breaking the 100-pull-up mark in his physical training.

As for whether they will actually receive a reward after returning, and what kind of reward it will be, that remains unclear.

Just then, the witcher captain waved his hand and spoke with a resolute determination, as if facing certain death:

"Gentlemen, although some of our brothers have died or been wounded, a great victory is just around the corner. There are only a little over a hundred meters left. As long as we can break through this deformed zone and enter Worm City, then all the sacrifices of our brothers and all the hard work of you will have been worthwhile!"

Beside him, a strong young man with a brown crew cut clenched his fist and said excitedly:

"Yes, as long as we send this truckload of mutant crystals in, we can turn at least tens of thousands more of our compatriots into mutants. Then, we can wipe out all the deformed creatures on the Worm Islands and truly expand our territory!"

Wait, a mutant?

Xia Fa was almost stunned when he heard this.

The magician knew what mutants were.

Previously, he had speculated that he might have returned to an era 30,000 years ago, where he encountered extraordinary individuals whose supernatural powers had just been born.

But now, Xia Fa realizes that this is a really big deal...

Since this is the Worm Islands, then it is indeed this world. But since these people are not superhumans or magicians, but some kind of mutants... then how many years ago did I travel back in time?

"Charge! For the future of us mutants, charge!"

Before Xia Fa could continue thinking, the strong young man shouted and rushed out, and the other team members immediately pushed the carriage to follow.

The carriage was covered with thick cotton cloth and tightly bound with hemp rope.

Xia Fa had no choice but to push the carriage along with everyone else. The cotton cloth was lifted up due to the sudden acceleration, and he was able to see what was inside.

They were rhomboid crystals, stacked one on top of the other, placed in a crystal box; they seemed to be what they called "mutated crystal sources."

"Holy crap!!!"

The monsters known as "deformed beings" were immediately alerted by the charge launched by the escort team.

They seemed to be able to sense the presence of humans at close range. Their eyes blazed with a blood-red light, as if they had spotted delicious prey, and they howled as they pounced.

"Get out of the way, all of you!"

The young and strong man shouted, and his muscles suddenly bulged, even tearing his clothes. He went from being 1.8 meters tall to more than 3 meters tall, and his skin turned pure black.

He seemed to transform into a human bomb, crashing directly into the horde of deformed creatures and instantly sending countless of them flying.

"Quickly! With Lorick clearing the way, let's rush over there! We're only a little over a hundred meters away!"

The Witcher captain shouted in a low voice, and the team members all strained together, pushing the carriage even faster.

Suddenly, a thin team member on the left shuddered and involuntarily let go of the horse-drawn carriage.

Immediately afterwards, he thrust his chest forward, and his whole body strangely floated into the air.

Before Xia Fa could react to what was happening, the demon hunter captain was already shouting loudly:

"Mantis Blade Man! It's a Mantis Blade Man! I'll stay behind to cover your retreat, you all go first! Especially you, Loret, you're a Flame Mutant, you must stay alive!"

The next moment, a mantis-like but humanoid monster emerged from its stealth state behind the skinny team member.

The mantis's forelegs, like scythes, pierced the chest of the skinny team member, and the blood-stained blade was revealed from its stealth state.

Xia Fa remembered that he seemed to have transmigrated into "Loret", which meant that his current identity was a fire mutant?

What kind of mutation abilities can I use?
