Chapter 249 The Black Giant and the Trouble of Getting Lost
In this strange plane filled with endless white fog and lacking the perception of gravity.
Jemin took his five black giants, who were now clumsily piloting makeshift flying magic weapons, and flew quickly towards the distance.
This plane discovered by the wizards is simply an unpolished gem.
It has no resistance, like a piece of fat meat that can be slaughtered at will!
It is indeed the best place for wizards to collect rare materials, capture high-quality slaves, and replenish biological resources.
However, the methods used by those wizards to plunder and collect materials were so brutal and efficient that they could be described as "the sky is three feet high."
Benjamin was a little slow at the beginning, and ended up not being able to get any soup after following behind.
So, he simply gave up on the overdeveloped area, left that area and flew farther away, intending to go to a real "undeveloped area" first, and then carry out his plundering plan.
In fact, it’s not just Benjamin. Many experienced wizards also have this idea.
So soon, all the wizards scattered in their respective directions, covering this plane like a net.
But it turns out that this method is really good!
After flying in a certain direction for more than half a month, Benjamin gained a lot along the way.
He captured many kinds of weightless creatures with strange properties, each of which was full of research value.
During the flight that day, Benjamin's eyes moved slightly.
He raised his head and looked in a certain direction to the other side.
Just now, his Five Elements Transformation Rainbow Mirror fed back information, and used the "Eye of Reconnaissance" to detect that a large group of slowly drifting flying creatures were passing by a few hundred kilometers away.
He then changed direction and headed towards that direction with the black giant.
Soon, a group of huge white "clouds" were seen that blended in with the surrounding environment.
These "clouds" look very "standard", as if some creator was lazy and copied and pasted them in batches from an animation.
Each "cloud" has the same faint halo and similar drifting trajectory.
However, these clouds will gather together and entangle with each other until they form a huge cloud, which looks no different from a large cloud from a distance.
But if you look closely, you will find that this huge cloud is actually "solid"!
Occasionally, a "cloud" would quietly extend cloud-like wings made of pure wind elements from both sides of the huge "cloud"'s body.
These tiny wings flap gently and continuously, and the entire cloud can fly forward.
Obviously, these are not real clouds, but a group of "cloud monster" creatures that look extremely similar to "clouds"!
When Benjamin saw this scene, his eyes lit up!
Although the rules in each plane are different, many times, some basic principles are universal.
Just like these "cloud monsters" now, they have to mimic the appearance of "clouds" and move together in a large group.
This means that they are at a relatively low position in the food chain in this area and are a prey group.
Although generally speaking, the materials obtained by "hunting" high-level creatures are more valuable.
But for Jemin, even these lower creatures have their own uses.
...especially for the Black Giant.
"Come on! It's time to eat!"
Through his soul connection, Jemin issued orders to the black giant behind him.
Upon receiving the order, the black giant immediately burst out with powerful energy, flying out like five wild beasts on the loose, rushing towards the group of "clouds"!
In terms of straight-line advance, the black giant was extremely fast and rushed into the "cloud monster" group in the blink of an eye.
Its huge, cast-iron-black chest and abdomen actually had a vertical crack from the top of the head to the abdomen!
This huge vertical crack revealed the internal cavity of the black giant, which was as hot as molten metal.
The most terrifying thing is that the edge of the crack is densely packed with terrifying black teeth made of obsidian and tempered steel!
This vertical crack is the modified mouth of the black giant!
And the following scene is not a raid at all, but a feast!
"roar--!"
With a wild roar, the black giants rushed into the group of cloud monsters and frantically devoured the frightened "clouds" that were fleeing in all directions!
Its movements are simple and brutal.
The huge body was like a high-speed rotating meat grinder, crashing directly into the group of cloud monsters.
The black giants were too lazy to even launch an attack, and the cracked "huge mouth" on their chest and abdomen kept opening and closing during this process!
Every bite carries an icy chill and violent tearing force!
Those smaller "cloud monsters" didn't even have time to wail before they were directly pulled into the mouth by the powerful suction force.
It was instantly crushed and swallowed by the hot inner cavity and sharp teeth!
The slightly larger "cloud monsters" fell into confusion and panic, attempting to fight back by ramming and biting.
But the power of their resistance is nothing to the Black Giant!
The black giant's huge mouth kept chewing and devouring these creatures, and the black liquid flames on its body surface flowed more violently at this moment!
Every time it swallowed, one could see wisps of light blue wind elemental energy flowing into the black giant's body, and being quickly absorbed and transformed by its special digestive system.
In order to speed up the eating process, the black giants used their strong hands to constantly intercept the white cloud monsters from the surroundings and put them into their mouths.
Jemin was floating not far away, and took advantage of this opportunity to capture several "clouds" that were trying to escape as biological samples.
After sealing it, he stored it in his body space.
Looking at the actions of the five black giants not far away, Benjamin's face looked a little strange.
After all, seeing black humanoid creatures constantly "picking" clouds from a group of white, cotton-like cloud monsters always makes people think of some automatic agricultural harvester.
"Ahem...well...now is not the time to think about this."
Shaking his head, Benjamin began to observe the black giant carefully.
He could clearly feel that the energy of each black giant was constantly increasing after being devoured.
Especially the four second-level black giants, their growth rate, which had been somewhat stagnant, began to accelerate again!
The Black Giant's predecessor, the Lava Giant, possesses a unique digestive system that is different from that of ordinary elemental creatures.
They can provide themselves with energy by digesting the flesh and blood of organisms, speed up their growth time, and even increase their possibility of promotion!
But this ability did not make the Black Giant give up.
Even in the design of the Black Giant, it becomes more important!
If we say that "thermal energy absorption technology" and "energy property conversion technology" are the "skeleton" of the Black Giant at the level of energy laws.
Then, the "energy absorption and conversion system" provided by the lava giant's "digestive system" after being transformed by Jemin is the most important "core" of the black giant in terms of energy circulation!
In order to allow the Black Giant to make better use of this characteristic, Benjamin even found a method in the "Dao Shuge" that can strengthen himself through eating and swallowing in the immortal cultivation system - "Five Internal Organs Sacrifice to Gods".
After localizing his experience in transforming the body-building method, Jemin applied the relevant technology to the black giant's digestive system.
This brings its devouring efficiency to a new level.
At this moment, something strange happened!
Just as the black giants were feasting on the food, a group of "clouds" saw that they could not escape, and in fear and anger, they chose the most decisive resistance - self-destruction!
Although the explosions of these creatures did not produce any flames, the pure wind elements inside them were detonated, generating violent shock waves.
In addition, a group of cloud monsters exploded together, causing the explosion to produce remarkable results!
At the moment of the explosion, a white shock wave visible to the naked eye spread in all directions at an astonishing speed!
The surging air wave instantly blew away everything nearby. Wherever it passed, whether it was the wreckage of the "cloud monster" or the naturally condensed energy balls, they were all squeezed and twisted.
Then it was torn into smaller pieces, flying at high speed along with the violent shock wave.
Some of the already fragile cloud monsters were instantly shattered and disappeared into thin air under this powerful impact!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Caught off guard, those second-level black giants with lower strength levels had no time to react and were directly blown away by the shock wave!
Accompanied by violent howls, the four black giants rolled all the way into the distance along with the clouds and mist stirred up by the shock wave.
Benjamin also felt the fierce shock wave coming at him. He frowned, raised his hand and erected an energy shield in front of him to block the aftermath of the oncoming airflow.
However, the highest-level third-level black giant in the team was not affected at all.
Even because it absorbed some of the energy of the "shock wave" just now, its strength has been improved!
But it was also enraged by the sudden attack.
"roar!!"
It roared and directly erupted flames like a volcanic eruption. Like a meteor, it rushed towards the group of "clouds" trying to escape with terrifying momentum, killing everyone in front of it!
While killing, the black giant did not forget to tear it into pieces and stuff it into his mouth to swallow it.
The black giant stopped only when the "clouds" scattered and could no longer be caught.
Benjamin checked the condition of several black giants that were blown away.
As elemental creatures, the previous explosion of the "cloud monsters" did not cause them any serious injuries.
But it still lost a lot of mass and energy, and its momentum was slightly weakened.
So much so that, except for the third-level black giant, the other black giants could almost say that the swallowing they had just done was useless and they had worked in vain.
No, it doesn’t mean that there is no gain at all.
Under Jemin's gaze, the aura of several black giants around him began to decline.
This means that the energy in their bodies is being consumed rapidly.
But correspondingly, clear green lines began to appear on their bodies.
Although soon, these bluish-white lines also disappeared and merged into the black flames on their bodies.
But Jemin knew very well that this did not mean that its effects would disappear.
Jieming was very familiar with these patterns, because they were exactly the energy trajectories produced when the "body-building method" of the immortal cultivation system was in operation!
That’s right!
Benjamin even transformed his powerful body-building method, which was derived from the immortal cultivation system, into the black giant's body!
There are many disadvantages to doing this.
First, as an elemental life form, the black giant cannot fully enjoy all the strengthening effects provided by the flesh and blood body training method.
The improvements of their elemental bodies in some aspects are quite limited.
Secondly, doing so will greatly increase the energy consumed in cultivating the black giant!
Moreover, during the subsequent growth of the Black Giant, the energy consumption required will develop to a very terrifying situation!
It can be said that every black giant is a bottomless pit of energy!
But its advantages are enough to allow Jemin to bear these shortcomings - after integrating the core mechanism of the "Body Strengthening Method", the Black Giant itself also gained some "adaptive evolution" characteristics!
In other words, as long as the Black Giant does not die, he will gain corresponding resistance after enduring an attack, and will be immune the next time he is attacked by the same type of attack!
Not only that, the feedback brought by this "adaptive evolution" can also make the evolution of the Black Giant easier.
A big problem with the elemental creatures is that their upper limit is fixed at birth.
But the effect of body-building method can break through this limitation.
Theoretically, as long as a black giant lives long enough and absorbs enough energy, it can be upgraded to a level six creature.
"good."
Benjamin nodded in satisfaction and wanted to continue flying.
But then, he glanced at the vast expanse of white fog around him without any reference points, and couldn't help frowning.
In the end, he could only take out the terminal and struggle to locate the position of the "ship plane" that served as a reference.
Then, based on the relative directions of the two sides, determine which direction you should fly next.
This is the most troublesome part of this plane.
Because there is no gravity, there is no effective direction discrimination at all.
And because everything in this plane is suspended in the air, there is no fixed up, down, left, or right.
So in fact, in addition to the four directions of front, back, left and right, we also need to constantly distinguish the directions of the two dimensions of up and down which are very troublesome.
"I'm not flying too far now, so I can use the terminal to locate the 'ship plane'." Benjamin also felt it was a bit tricky.
"But later on, if we go beyond the signal range of the terminal, we might get lost in this dizzying fog if we're not careful."
"But...the camp should have already started looking for a solution, right?"
Just as Benjamin was thinking about this, there was a sudden noise from his terminal.
After taking a look at the information above, Benjamin showed an expected smile.
Just as he thought, the camp started issuing "mandatory tasks"!
(I have something to do today, so this is the only chapter I have.)
