In a super large pit with a diameter of more than 300 meters and a depth of tens of meters, Xia Youhui was digging the soil around the dragon turtle statue breathlessly, his whole body covered in sweat.
Even though he was a fifth-level cultivator, digging such a large hole in two days was too tiring for him.
"Phew! Take a break."
Xia Youhui leaned on a simple 'shovel', wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the half-exposed stone sculpture in front of him with some hesitation: "By the way, I won't be working for nothing for a few days, right?"
From the surprise of discovering the incomplete stone tablet on the first day, to the confusion of not being able to see anything when studying the words on the stone tablet later, Xia Youhui was a little hesitant at this time.
"Forget it. I don't understand. Let's dig out the stone carvings first. My brother said that if you come across something like a stone carving that you don't understand, just dig it all out first."
“Many special stone sculptures require completeness to achieve some kind of enlightenment.”
"I'll work hard today and finish my work early. I'll wait and see Ah Chu show off in the evening, hehe."
Xia Youhui was also very excited about his good brother's rapid rise, the increasingly exaggerated talents he displayed, and the fact that he shocked everyone time and time again.
Although he is not that awesome, it’s enough that his brother is awesome.
Just because he has such an awesome brother, doesn't that mean he's awesome too?
There is nothing wrong with this logic.
"Sister, look, are these pictures and texts saying something?"
Inside the mountain, Lin Xue and her sister cleaned the walls of the stone temple, which was more than 30 meters high and 100 meters wide, over the past two days.
As the moss and dust were removed, the reliefs on the walls became much clearer. Although the paint had long since fallen off due to the passage of time, they were still lifelike.
From left to right, these reliefs seem to be showing a woman's life experience.
From the very beginning, she entered the mountain gate at a young age and began to practice, grew up with her fellow disciples, and went down the mountain with a man to enter another world of "slaying demons and eliminating evil".
At the end of the relief, the sky is covered in flames, the earth is submerged in deep blue water, and the sun and moon fall from the sky, ending with a doomsday scene.
Looking at the last flame pattern burning the sky, Lin Xue said slowly: "Xiao Yu, I feel like those flames are 'alive'."
"Alive?" Lin Yu was slightly stunned, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the tsunami below...
While everyone had gained something, Li Hao, who entered the ruins today, encountered danger.
roar!
With a roar, the pile of rubble that had collapsed for who knows how many years suddenly exploded.
In the smoke and rubble, a five-meter-tall void monster appeared. It was wearing relatively complete heavy armor and holding a huge warhammer. It exuded the aura of a mid-level sixth-level monster.
The void monster crushed the earth with its footsteps and rushed to Li Hao in the blink of an eye. The air exploded as its hammer swept across, forming circles of sonic booms.
boom!
Faced with the sudden encounter, Li Hao only had time to hold up the steel pillar to block in front, and then a terrifying force like a tsunami came, and his true power collapsed.
boom!
Under the powerful force, the steel pillar hit Li Hao, his extraordinary armor collapsed, and the whole person was blasted out at supersonic speed, hitting the broken city wall a hundred meters away.
Bang! The broken city wall, which was more than ten meters high and two meters thick, suddenly exploded and collapsed. The rubble rolled down and buried Li Hao, but in the blink of an eye, the stone pestle suddenly exploded.
Whoosh!!
Li Hao was breathing heavily, blood flowing through the cracks in his armor. He looked at the void monster shrouded in black and purple mist in the distance with a serious look in his eyes.
This monster, which has retained its previous combat consciousness, is very strong and powerful, with heavy and overbearing power, and has the special property of blowing up everything.
Coupled with the suppression of his realm, he was almost seriously injured with just one move.
Roar! Seeing that Li Hao was not killed by its hammer, the monster immediately roared violently, stomped on the ground with a rumble, and rushed out swinging its heavy hammer.
The majestic power was like a destructive tank, destroying all the foundations and ruins wherever it passed.
"kill!"
Li Hao became even more crazy due to the injury. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with endless madness and evil intent.
boom!
Under the explosion of the Bull Demon Battle Body, Li Hao directly expanded to nearly four meters, his whole body was filled with red mist. He grabbed a five-meter-long steel pillar with one arm and rushed forward with a roar.
Bang!
The steel pillar and the rough war hammer collided, and instantly a burst of pure power erupted. The ground within a dozen meters around the two people collapsed, and the impact created a strong wind that swept across a hundred meters.
The red true power shone on the half-meter thick steel pillar, blocking the war hammer surrounded by black power. Carrying the steel pillar, Li Hao stared at the monster opposite, and the ground under his feet kept crumbling.
I can block it. I am the invincible Li Hao, who was born with supernatural powers.
Under the powerful will, the king-level blood in Li Hao's body was further activated, golden scales grew on his body surface, and an even more violent force burst out from his body.
Roar! With an inhuman roar, Li Hao's arms burst with strength, and with a bang, the heavy hammer on his head flew away, and then the two monsters collided with each other again.
Boom boom boom! ! As the two fought frantically, the aftermath of the explosion completely destroyed the surrounding buildings, the earth shattered, and the wind howled.
Roar! In the distance, an early level six monster was attracted by the life breath emitted by Li Hao, and turned into a black shadow and roared towards him.
But as soon as the monster approached, Li Hao swept it with a steel pillar shining with red power. The violent force smashed the monster's upper body into pieces with one blow.
But because of the distraction of this void monster, the heavy hammer surrounded by black power left three afterimages and appeared in front of Li Hao's chest in an instant, as if teleporting.
Boom! Li Hao was blown away again, just like a cannonball knocking down more than a dozen foundation walls, and then fell to the ground with a bang and rolled more than ten times before stopping.
At this time, Li Hao was covered in blood, his muscles were ruptured in many places, and his armor was broken.
But with a slight force of his palms on the ground, Li Hao stood up again. His body was covered with thick blood mist and his face was covered with blood, like a crazy and possessed monster.
"Not enough, not enough. I still have a battle to fight with him. How can I die here today?"
Thinking of Chen Chu's back that was getting farther and farther away, and thinking of the agreement between him and that guy to have a fight, Li Hao's heart was filled with a strong desire to survive and unwillingness.
How could he die here?
He was the one who had made an agreement to fight with the guy who was destined to become a god. He, Li Hao, was destined to be invincible.
Under the powerful obsession of self-suggestion, Li Hao's body has merged with him, and the king-level blood power that has been strengthened many times has been stimulated more thoroughly.
roar!
An even more violent and demonic aura erupted from Li Hao. Blood mist filled his body, and behind him formed the shadow of a monster that looked like a violent ape and a bull demon.
At the same time, Li Hao, who was already close to the late fifth level, suddenly felt his aura surge, and he broke through to the late fifth level.
boom!
After further improving his skills, Li Hao roared, wielding a pillar-like steel column and bursting out to fight with the powerful hammer warrior.
Boom boom boom!!
More than ten minutes later, the Warhammer Warrior's head exploded and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang.
Next to the monster's corpse, the four-meter-tall Li Hao was covered in red blood mist, his armor was torn, and he was carrying a five-meter-long steel pillar on his shoulder, emitting a tragic aura.
"This guy is desperate to survive. His fighting method of pushing his physical strength to its limit is an evil path. He doesn't even know when a small monster will pick up his body."
As Chen Chu spoke, he clenched his right hand and grabbed the head of a level six void monster from several meters away and exerted slight force.
Bang!
The monster's head exploded and its corpse fell to the ground with a bang. Smelly blood spurted out and covered the ground. Then, purple-black mist condensed on the corpse.
Looking down from the sky, you can see more than a dozen monster corpses lying within a radius of several kilometers.
At this time, a large amount of blood spurted out of Li Hao's body in the distance. His body quickly shrank back to the size of two meters and five, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
At the same time, the extraordinary battle armor on his body also shrank as it had no true power to drive it.
After falling to the ground, the weak and dying Li Hao used his last bit of strength to gather his breath, gasping for air, and carefully sensing his surroundings.
He was very weak at this time, so weak that any monster could kill him.
However, as long as he can hold out for the Bull Demon's fighting body's resurrection period, his injuries will recover quickly, and his body will reorganize to its limit and recover 30% of its strength.
Fortunately, while Li Hao was worried, the surroundings were very quiet for the next half hour, so quiet that it was a little weird because no polluted monster appeared.
call!
At this moment, a powerful life energy burst out from Li Hao's body. Under this energy, the shattered muscle tissue and broken bones recovered at an astonishing speed.
After just over ten minutes, Li Hao's external injuries were almost healed, but his vitality was greatly depleted.
Boom! Suddenly, a sonic boom was heard in the distance. Li Hao was startled and subconsciously stood up, carrying the heavy steel column and looking around.
After Li Hao recovered some strength, Chen Chu started his crazy killing again.
Today he is still within the 300-400 kilometer radius of the ruins, only a few dozen kilometers deeper than yesterday.
The polluted monsters in this range are mostly level six, with a few at level seven. For Chen Chu, killing these "small monsters" is like playing whack-a-mole, one at a time.
On the contrary, it is not cost-effective to go five or six hundred kilometers deep and kill the level eight polluted monsters that you might encounter.
However, today, whenever Chen Chu encountered a place with building ruins, he would pause, release his perception, and pay attention to whether there were any objects emitting special vibrations.
I don’t know if it’s because of the Taixu Minghua Sutra he practiced, or because the Zhanxu Rune became stronger after absorbing soul energy, but today Chen Chu found that his perception was sharper.
With that kind of mysterious sense, he can immediately discover any polluted monsters that appear within a certain range.
roar!
Deep in the crack of the earth, a scaleless black python with a body length of more than 40 meters, a pair of deformed wings and the aura of the early stage of level seven roared out.
Just as the head of this level seven polluted monster rushed out of the crack, a golden halberd-like blade more than ten meters long appeared on its head, and a dazzling light burst out the moment of contact.
boom!
A golden flame with a diameter of tens of meters exploded on the ground, causing the lower half of the cliff to collapse due to the destructive impact, and the upper body of the polluted monster was directly blown into pieces.
Soon, the purple evil gathered under the smoke-filled crack and transformed into a purple-black python that rushed towards Chen Chu. After passing through his palm, it merged with the surging evil energy around it.
"Is that guy killing people again today?"
Looking at the sonic boom roaring in the distance and the light passing across the earth, the genius Simon, who was sitting in the 20-meter-high mecha, showed amazement in his eyes.
Those who can go deep into an area of three to four hundred kilometers are generally top geniuses who have reached the sixth level of cultivation.
Even so, these people were very careful, avoiding the monsters with dangerous auras, and focused on exploring the ruins rather than fighting.
There's no way. The monsters here are basically level six, and there are quite a few at level seven. If you're unlucky and encounter a monster at the middle seventh level or above, you might die.
With their strength, they might be able to kill one or two early level seven monsters by playing all their cards, but what next?
Therefore, seeing Chen Chu running rampant at supersonic speed and being so unscrupulous and arrogant in such a place, even these geniuses couldn't help but envy and admire him.
…
roar!
Under the dim sky, a polluted giant beast with a wingspan of more than 80 meters, a body length of more than 60 meters, and covered with bone spurs and black scales let out a brutal roar.
Laser-like black breath continuously spurts out of the mouth of this polluted giant beast that looks like a western dragon and has a lion-like head.
Boom boom boom!!
Under the destructive breath of the level eight pollution beast, the ground below continued to explode, chasing the black and white mecha driven by Gabriella.
At this time, the arms of the more than 40-meter-tall mecha spread out like wings, and its body shape slightly deformed, with engines on both sides spewing out hot air waves, and it flew at low altitude and performed various difficult movements.
While flying at supersonic speeds, the black and white mechas constantly used the complex terrain around them to dodge attacks and rushed towards the oasis.
roar!
The polluting monster in the sky was moving at an astonishing speed and chasing relentlessly. A huge grey eye on its belly was staring at the black and white mecha, and terrifying energy was gathering inside it.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! ! At this moment, a dozen crystal energy high-explosive missiles shot out from below at supersonic speed, submerging the pollution monster hundreds of meters in the air and interrupting its attack.
The fire from the missile explosion exploded in the air, and the polluted beast rushed out unharmed in the rolling hot air waves, surrounded by black fog, and continued to chase Gabriella with its wings vibrating.
The two sides launched continuous attacks while moving at supersonic speeds, firing volleys of breath, laser cannons, and missiles at each other, causing the sky to shake and the earth to explode.
The roar attracted the attention of many void monsters, but before they could roar and catch up, the two figures had already disappeared at the end of the sky.
"It's almost there. We can get out if we hold on for another twenty minutes."
Inside the cockpit of the black and white mecha, Gabriella calmly looked at the rapidly declining energy tank, and the various data and red alarms that kept jumping on the projections on both sides.
She didn't expect that even though she was very careful today, she was still targeted by an eighth-level pollution monster.
Moreover, this giant beast was a flying species, so many of her tricks were useless and she couldn't get rid of it. She could only think of a way to escape back to the oasis.
Fortunately, she chose to escape the moment the pollution monster discovered her, otherwise she might be in trouble today.
With the combined strength of her and the mecha, she can currently only barely deal with late-stage level seven creatures, and level eight pollution beasts are beyond her capabilities.
"Alarm, high-intensity energy strike detected..."
"The attack broke out too quickly and could not be avoided. Drivers are advised to prepare for impact."
"Not good." Gabriella's face changed slightly.
boom!
Hundreds of gray beams fell from the sky, densely covering the black and white mecha and the surrounding land. In an instant, dense explosions resounded throughout the world.
The energy shield on the black and white mecha covered by the light beam vibrated wildly, and it smashed to the ground under the impact of the energy explosion, rumbling and slid hundreds of meters away.
"…What day is today? In the morning, I was a hero saving a human, and in the afternoon, you want me to be a hero saving a mecha?"
A few kilometers away, Chen Chu stood on a hillside a hundred meters high, looking at the roaring level eight pollution monster in the sky in the distance and the mecha buried in smoke and dust, feeling a little surprised.
However, Gabriella still had the strength to fight at this time, so Chen Chu was not prepared to take action.
But just as Chen Chu was about to watch the excitement, Gabriella's voice came from the smoke and dust in the distance: "Chen Chu, I found a well-preserved relic."
