Under the doomsday sky of the ruins, the mountain range that stretched for dozens of kilometers was cut in the middle, forming a huge crack that was more than ten kilometers long and a thousand meters wide.

Under the crack that looked like an abyss, hot magma was rolling, emitting scorching heat and dark red light, and rolling up thick black smoke.

These black and red poisonous gases filled the sky above the crack, and the strong void energy contained in them eroded Chen Chu's external true power, making a sizzling sound.

Whoosh! ! A hot wave of air gushed out from behind the black and white mecha, carrying Chen Chu on its shoulders and flying towards the other side of the crack.

As soon as the two rushed into the range of black fog and poisonous gas, the erosion from the void surged. The golden flames on Chen Chu's body erupted and collided with the energy of the void, making a rumbling sound.

Gabriella's mecha's energy shield was consumed at a greater rate, and the eight fully loaded energy slots were declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the middle of the cracked cliff shrouded in poisonous gas, there is a cave entrance that is a hundred meters high and tens of meters wide. Here, the strong winds of a typhoon of more than ten levels are howling, forming a wind vortex.

Bang! The heavy mecha smashed the vortex and rushed into the cave for hundreds of meters before stopping.

"According to the synthesis of the images detected by radar waves, there are two main channels detected, one upward and one downward. Should we go separately or together?"

Chen Chu said in a deep voice: "Let's explore separately. It's getting dark and we don't have much time. Also, be careful. We are already deep in the ruins here."

"I know." Then the two separated.

Facing a typhoon of force 10, Chen Chu rushed upwards towards the passage that was a hundred meters high. Every step he took with his heavy boots would crush the rocks.

This is indeed a relic, with traces of former buildings everywhere, but these buildings have almost all been weathered and destroyed by years of strong winds.

Therefore, Chen Chu found nothing on his way up, and soon came to a huge stone platform at the top of the spiral cave.

In the strong wind, Chen Chu picked up a piece of black iron in the corner and applied a little force. The once hard steel cracked like brittle stone.

"There's something wrong with these winds." Chen Chu narrowed his eyes and looked up.

In the center of the top of the cave is a hole with a diameter of about 20 meters. It is pitch black, and a real strong wind roars out with a huge momentum.

In these strong winds, Chen Chu felt some special power, which was somewhat similar to the "wind" mastered by Ceciltia.

Bang! The stone platform collapsed, and under the powerful recoil force, Chen Chu turned into a golden light and rushed into the wind tunnel, followed by a terrifying impact force.

Boom! The dazzling golden flames on Chen Chu's body erupted, colliding with the almost materialized black whirlwind, making an explosive roar and blasting out circles of golden and black halos.

Under the squeezing and gathering of the cave, the power of these strong winds was terrifying, almost comparable to the attack of a sixth-level cultivator, and it was endless.

In this situation, even Chen Chu burst out with all his true strength, and flames erupted, forming a half-meter thick golden-red scale armor shield under the amplification of the dragon blood armor.

Amid the rumbling explosion, Chen Chu climbed up at an astonishing speed like a gecko against the black gale.

When we had rushed upwards for nearly a thousand meters, the sky suddenly became empty and we arrived at a strange mountain belly.

This place is like a honeycomb, with hanging black rocks that are harder than alloys forming circular steps and wind holes one or two meters wide all around.

In the center of these wind holes, a spiral crystal the size of a human head rotates slowly, filled with fluctuations of the laws, stirring up strong winds between heaven and earth.

"It is indeed a wind-type resource, and it contains the charm of laws."

Although he had long anticipated that there would be wind-type resources here, he did not expect that it was actually a god-level resource that was no less than the Xuanhuang Stone. Even Chen Chu was somewhat surprised and delighted by this harvest.

It just made up for the last attribute missing from his four 'worlds'.

Compared to the Soul-Soothing Seal obtained by killing the Dark Angel yesterday, this relic today was almost effortless, without even a single restriction or hindrance.

No, we actually killed a level eight monster today, the polluted beast that was led away by Gabriella.

While Chen Chu was putting away the wind-type divine crystal, deep in the cave, Gabriella was standing on the edge of a man-made circular magma pool.

"Judging from the high-energy fluctuations detected, the object should be in that magma pool."

As she spoke, Gabriella pulled out the giant sword behind the mecha, activated the energy, and a five-meter-long energy blade formed at the edge, which stirred up a strong wind and slashed fiercely at the edge of the magma pool.

Boom! With this powerful sword strike, the black rock wall at the edge of the magma pool, which was more than ten meters thick, was shattered, leaving a crack that was ten meters wide and a hundred meters deep.

Suddenly, the roiling magma inside poured down with a rumble, gushing out along the cracks, quickly turning the entire cave into a sea of ​​magma fire, emitting scorching heat.

Standing in the sea of ​​fire, Gabriella looked excitedly at the center of the magma pool, where a core with a diameter of one meter, like the core of a planet, emitted circles of halos.

"The lava heart of the earth is still there." Gabriella smiled brightly.

Just like Li Daoyi had a purpose in searching for the Thunder Lord's residence, Gabriella also had a goal in mind as she went thousands of kilometers deep into the ruins regardless of the danger.

On this relic continent, there once existed a special sect that forged extraordinary weapons and armor.

The sect is located in Wanren Mountain in the center of Longhuan Mountain Range. The energy for forging comes from a lava heart of the earth that never goes out and possesses endless scorching power.

This elemental core is a treasure for mecha practitioners and can be used as an eternal power furnace in theory. Once it is integrated into the mecha, she will no longer lack energy.

Since the Federation began developing the mythical world, a total of four such lava hearts of the earth have been discovered, and each one has been used by Simon's top powerhouses.

Before she came in this time, the dean of the academy told her this address. There is a high probability that there is a lava core here, but whether she can find it depends on her luck.

After all, no one knows how many tens of thousands of years have passed. Even if she finds the ruins, these things may have been destroyed in a long time.

But it seems that she was lucky. These special sacred objects were self-contained inside and were eventually preserved without being destroyed.

When Gabriella drove the mecha and arrived at the place where they separated, holding the hot lava core, Chen Chu was already waiting for her there.

At this time, the howling wind in the cave had disappeared, and the endless black and red poisonous fog outside filled in, making it even darker.

"The violent wind has dissipated. It seems that Chen Chu, you have obtained the Black Wind Crystal."

Chen Chu's eyes fell on the red fireball in the mecha's hand, thinking: "Has it been obtained? Gabriella, you seem to know the situation here?"

"I know a little, but not much..." Gabriella did not hide anything and told Chen Chu some information she knew, including her purpose this time.

In addition to the lava core, there is also the black Gale Crystal on the top of the mountain, which is also one of the energy sources for the sect to refine weapons.

Gabriella's original goal was to make the lava core into the eternal power furnace of the mecha, and the black gale crystal would be integrated into the mecha to become the sky-sweeping wings to control the strong winds.

However, since Chen Chu helped this time and they explored the ruins together, the rewards would naturally be shared equally.

Chen Chu nodded: "No wonder."

He said that this genius Simon was not a fool, so why was he so persistent in going so deep into the dangerous ruins? It turned out that he already had a "map".

"Let's go, it's getting dark, and it will become very dangerous here."

Watching the sky gradually becoming darker, the two did not dare to delay. They rushed out of the crack under the eruption of the mecha engine and quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain along the mountain range.

The deeper you go into the ruins, the more violent the void energy becomes, and the stronger the monsters that lurk into the ruins become.

These monsters belonging to the void and darkness follow the instinct of alternating day and night, and become active and more aggressive when the night rages.

roar!

As soon as the two flew down the mountain range, a roar that shook the earth and sky erupted in the distance behind them, shaking the heaven and earth. The black clouds in the sky suddenly dissipated, forming a huge hole.

The terrifying power of the peak eighth level made the two men look stern even though they were dozens of kilometers apart, and the engine behind the mecha suddenly spurted out even more powerful thrust.

With the wind howling and flying at supersonic speed at low altitude, half an hour later the two returned to the place where they first met.

Chen Chu jumped off the mecha's shoulder, landed on the ground and shouted, "Classmate Gabriella, I haven't completed my mission goal for today, so I'll take my leave now."

"Mission objective?" Gabriella's puzzled voice came from inside the mecha.

Chen Chu nodded: "Yes, in order to improve my strength and hone my combat skills, I set myself the task of killing two thousand void monsters every day."

...Are you sure this is a normal person's goal? Gabriella was a little confused.

But Chen Chu didn't care about her. After he finished speaking, he exploded in the air with a bang and continued to kill forward along the original route.

However, when Chen Chu was frantically killing one void monster after another before it got completely dark, a huge black and white mecha followed him from a distance.

Bang!

Chen Chu blasted a level 7 void monster with his halberd, then stopped and looked back at the mecha in the distance: "... Gabriella, why are you following me?"

Inside the mecha, Gabriella blinked her eyes and said, "Nothing, I'm just a little curious. Chen Chu, just do your thing and don't worry about me."

Chen Chu looked at her suspiciously, but because of the mecha, he didn't know what the blonde girl was thinking, so he didn't bother to pay attention and continued to be busy.

Under the gaze of Gabriella, Chen Chu swept all the way and cut down a batch of void monsters before rushing out of the ruins in the dark night.

It was still the hillside at the edge of the oasis, with flickering flames on it, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Just as An Fuqing was concentrating on cutting slices of the exotic beast meat, preparing to wait for Chen Chu to come back and start grilling for dinner, the ground in the distance shook.

In the darkness, a huge mecha strode over, stirring up a strong wind, crushing the earth, and rumbling to the middle of the hillside.

"Simon's Gabriella." An Fuqing naturally recognized this mecha. He looked up and looked at Chen Chu with some surprise, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"When she was being chased by an eighth-level polluted beast, I happened to pass by and helped her. Then she and I went to explore a ruin..."

While Chen Chu and An Fuqing were explaining the situation, the cockpit at the back of the mecha opened and a blonde girl in a red tight combat suit climbed out.

Gabriella jumped down from the mecha's shoulder and landed on the hillside, smiling and saying, "Hello, I remember you. You are An Fuqing from Nantian Wugao High School."

An Fuqing nodded: "Hello, Senior Gabriella."

This year, Gabriella is a sophomore in high school, which means she is indeed a senior of the two.

After saying hello, Gabriella looked at the exotic beast meat slices on the stone slab, and her sapphire-like eyes showed curiosity: "Do you eat this every night?"

An Fuqing nodded calmly: "Would you like to try it?"

"Okay." Gabriella was not polite. Instead, she moved closer to An Fuqing with great interest. Because they were too close, the girl felt a little uncomfortable.

Under the gaze of the blonde girl, An Fuqing began to get busy, holding a small spatula in one hand and chopsticks in the other, moving them constantly, very skillfully.

Soon, the rich aroma of spicy meat filled the air, and the blonde girl's eyes lit up: "It smells so good, An Xuemei, you are amazing, you can even make this."

"…It's okay, just a simple stone grill." An Fuqing said calmly.

"No, you're really good at it. At least I can't do it. It looks interesting." The blonde girl said with shining eyes: "Xuemei An, can you let me try?"

An Fuqing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

"By the way, I also brought some delicious food with me this time. Please try it."

As she spoke, Gabriella rolled up her wrist, revealing the Sumeru bracelet, and took out a small table, a stool, and then a dozen plates of exquisitely crafted pastries.

And hot black tea.

These snacks were put into the Sumeru bracelet right after they were made, so after they were taken out, a sweet smell spread as the heat evaporated.

...No, this is a doomsday ruins full of dangers. Are you sure you are not here for a picnic?

Looking at the exquisite snacks on the table and the two beautiful girls who were enthusiastically studying stone-slab grilling, Chen Chu was a little confused.

"Mmmmm!! Delicious, you are awesome, An-sister. Oh, by the way, the next step is to add oil."

"Well, apply oil to prevent it from burning, and then apply sauce to make it taste good..."

While the two girls were barbecuing around the fire, Chen Chu didn't hesitate to bring a portion of barbecue to the dining table and sat down, while calling up the property page.

Talent: Void Double Pupil +5487

Because of the two delays, Chen Chu barely completed the goal of killing two thousand void monsters today, and the increase of his void double pupils reached five times.

At this moment, at the edge of the black and gold vertical pupil deep in Chen Chu's eyes, five circles of light chains composed of black runes were rotating, emitting a terrifying invisibly powerful pressure.

At this time, the watch eye on the wrist flashed, prompting everyone that the chat channel was opened.

"One hundred thousand, this monster has indeed exceeded one hundred thousand today." Ji Wuji, who was standing in white with his hands behind his back on the edge of the hundred-meter stone peak, looked a little melancholy.

Because he found that he couldn't act cool in front of that monster.

Today, Chen Chu's Purple Evil value reached 103,460 points, an increase of more than 45,000, and a gap of 80,000 from the second place Ji Wuji, who had more than 19,000 points.

Currently, the top ten on the list have more than 10,000 views, and the top 30 have more than 5,000 views.

Damn it, hold it in, I can't let that guy show off anymore. Li Daoyi sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the 100,000 value with his eyes twitching, this guy is too abnormal.

Not only Li Daoyi, at this moment many geniuses were suppressing the urge to complain in their hearts and not giving that guy the chance to show off, because it was too discouraging.

"Haha...it seems those guys were hit hard by Achu." Sitting on the huge dragon turtle statue, the dirty Xia Youhui chewed on jerky and laughed.

After a while of silence, the chat channel finally had the first message.

Dongxia Li Hao: "Chen Chu, thank you."

When he was leaving after his injuries had recovered a little, Li Hao noticed several headless monster corpses on the road, plus the explosive rumbling sound behind him.

Although Chen Chu did not show up, he almost guessed that it was this guy. After all, only he dared to run rampant in the ruins at supersonic speed.

Dongxia Chen Chu: "We are all classmates, you are welcome."

With these two people taking the lead, the chat channel soon became lively again.

Everyone was sharing what they saw and heard in the ruins today, especially the monsters they encountered. They gathered information and analyzed intelligence, appearing to be very united.

It’s just that when these geniuses were chatting, the topic intentionally or unintentionally avoided a certain guy.

Seeing this, Chen Chu just smiled.

Tonight, with the appearance of Gabriella, the hill became a little more lively, especially as the two girls chatted and their relationship seemed to be getting better and better.

“I don’t understand.”

Looking at the two girls opposite them with their mouths full of grease, Chen Chu shook his head. After eating and drinking his fill, he went to the side and sat down, taking out a Tianyuan Stone in his hand.

If I refine another Tianyuan Stone tonight, the condensation level of the fighting rune phantom will be able to reach about 30%, breaking through to the middle stage of the seventh level.

By then his strength will be further improved.

As for the Xuanhuang Stone and the Black Gangfeng Crystal, I don’t have time to comprehend them at the moment. I will start to perfect the four light wheels after leaving the ruins.
