Chapter 173 Fire of Life, Space Strengthening
While the long-haired violent ape was sleeping, Chen Chu used the mysterious method of concealment to restrain his aura, and slowly approached from behind along the shadow of the mountain wall.
However, Xiao Cheng's hidden secret method can only restrain Chen Chu's aura, but the dangerous intuition coming from biological instinct cannot be erased.
So when Chen Chu was still more than thirty meters away from the mutated violent ape, the violent ape, which felt something in the dark, opened its eyes and looked around cautiously.
Roar! The violent ape let out a low roar, and the rolling sound waves echoed in the valley. Other than that, the entire canyon was silent.
Looking at the still dead valley, the violent ape had doubts in his eyes.
But at this moment, seeing that he could not kill the long-haired ape through a sneak attack, Chen Chu took a deep breath and took out the halberd from the Sumeru bracelet with a flip of his hand.
Boom!
With the terrifying explosion of momentum, the black and red halberd flew across the sky, and Chen Chu instantly turned into a ray of light and shot out.
Roar!
Under the strong breath of death, the hair on the hairy ape exploded, like a hedgehog under attack, it turned over and let out a violent roar.
Golden light shone on the huge claws that were almost half of the body, tearing the air, rolling up a circle of white air waves and hitting the black and red halberd light below it that was slashing towards its knees.
There is no way. This long-haired tyrant ape standing more than 20 meters is too tall. Chen Chu, holding a halberd, can only reach its knees.
In front of the huge claws spread out for ten meters, the nearly four-meter-long halberd looks as small and weak as a cotton swab, but...
Boom!
The moment the sharp claws and the halberd intersected, the domineering dragon elephant's real power exploded. In an instant, the violent real power mixed with the sharp halberd light turned into a shock wave that swept across a range of more than ten meters.
The violent ape was caught off guard by the powerful explosion and could not help but lean back.
At this moment, the heavy and domineering halberd penetrated the airflow, its attack speed reached supersonic speed, and its sweep instantly formed a fan-shaped jet black vacuum plane.
The hairy tyrant ape's huge claws were subconsciously blocked in front of him.
Bang! The three-meter-long golden curved claw was cut off directly by the halberd, and blood even spurted out from the broken position.
Roar! Two sharp claws were cut off, and flesh and blood flew out from the palm of the hand under the impact of the explosion. The hairy ape screamed and roared in an instant, and a terrifying aura of peak level five erupted.
Hum buzz!
As the violent ape roared, a substantial sonic shock erupted around it, and a strong chill instantly rose in Chen Chu's heart.
In an instant, his body retreated.
Puff puff puff!
Special sound waves caused the already unstable spatial distance in the surrounding area to fluctuate. Under the constant resonance and vibration, black cracks of varying lengths within a range of tens of meters flashed and disappeared.
All matter wherever these space cracks pass is cut into two pieces.
When some black cracks appeared next to the hairy ape, there were faint transparent power fluctuations on the long hairs on its body.
Those space cracks suddenly bent slightly under the interference of those long hairs emitting transparent energy.
This scene made Chen Chu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Unexpectedly, the hair of this violent ape actually has the property of interfering with space cracks. Coupled with the sonic roar that can cause unstable space to form cracks, it is no wonder that it has been staying here.
Even ordinary sixth-level mutant beasts may not be its opponents in this place.
The sharp invisible space cracks can cut all matter. Unless the power of cultivation is related to space, there is no defense method under the seventh heaven.
Even Chen Chu did not dare to touch the cracks.
Also, this strange beast is actually not at the late fifth level, but at the peak of the fifth level.
Chen Chu's face showed a hint of excitement when he thought of this, because it means that this strange beast is likely to contain life crystals.
Just when Chen Chu was a little excited, the hairy ape exploded with even more powerful power, and burst out of the cave with a bang surrounded by substantial transparent power.
The huge figure whipped up strong winds and appeared above Chen Chu with a large shadow. The huge claws blocked the sky and the sun, leaving eight dark traces in the air and falling from the sky.
Boom!
At the moment Chen Chu disappeared in an instant, the ground collapsed within a dozen meters, and countless rubble mixed with shock waves swept across a range of tens of meters, and smoke and dust billowed all over the sky.
Roar!
Suddenly, the smoke and dust dissipated, and with a roar, the long-haired tyrant ape whipped up strong winds and jumped hundreds of meters high. Its huge claws blasted the air and struck Chen Chu on the rock.
brush!
Chen Chu's figure flashed and disappeared again. In an instant, half of the rock collapsed with a bang and exploded into countless pieces under the terrifying power of the violent ape.
Boom, boom, boom!
The entire valley shook wildly under the crazy attack of the furious ape. Everything in its path was destroyed, the earth was broken, and rocks in the shape of "mountains" collapsed.
The diffuse smoke and dust almost submerged most of the valley.
This violent ape is as fast as the wind and has infinite strength. Its claws are even more sharp. With a single strike, rocks weighing hundreds or thousands of tons will collapse and explode.
For a time, Baoyuan was so powerful that he suppressed Chen Chu and beat him.
But just as the violent ape swept through most of the valley and was slowly led to the mouth of the valley, Chen Chu suddenly stopped, and then a terrifying aura erupted from his body.
Boom!
The real power of Qi and blood in Chen Chu's body burned instantly, forming a raging red flame that rose into the sky. In an instant, the surrounding earth collapsed under the pressure of heavy and overbearing power, and the gravel jumped.
Under the terrifying aura that was like the arrival of a demon god, the long-haired tyrant ape who had just become more and more courageous in the battle showed a look of horror on his face.
Suddenly, Chen Chu disappeared instantly, followed by a loud explosion.
The hair all over the body of the violent ape exploded in an instant, a strong chill of death rose from the tailbone, and all the power in the body was subconsciously unleashed to let out a roar.
Roar!
The terrifying sound wave explosion formed a circle of substantial shock waves that swept around dozens of meters, shaking the originally unstable space wherever it passed.
In the blink of an eye, black cracks appeared and disappeared, turning an area of tens of meters into a death zone.
At the moment when the hairy tyrant roared, its chest exploded with a dazzling black-red light. With a terrifying blow, large pieces of flesh and hair exploded, and its chest collapsed.
The back suddenly swelled up, making a snapping and explosive sound. Bloody light instantly passed through behind it, and it fell with a bang after rushing a hundred meters.
Suddenly, the expression in the eyes of the violent ape that had just let out a violent roar gradually darkened, and he fell backward with a bang.
The huge body hit the ground hard, and countless blood spurted out from the chest.
Hundred meters away, Chen Chu stood holding a halberd, slowly calming down the burning energy, blood and true power in his body. Suddenly, the god-like and demonic aura on his body slowly disappeared.
Looking at the lifeless body of the violent ape, as well as the spatial cracks that appeared and disappeared around it, Chen Chu looked calmly.
The realm of this violent ape is higher than that of the blood-armored beast king, but its strength is not much stronger, and its aura is even less than that of the beast king with king-level blood.
It can only be said that the strength is not bad, and it is quite satisfactory among the mutant beasts at the fifth level peak level.
Chen Chu used his hands to feel through the valley environment, and after knowing where the space was distorted and where the space was more stable, he directly exploded with all his strength and killed him instantly with one blow.
After all, his cultivation is only at the late stage of the Fourth Heaven. Although his normal combat power is stronger than this violent ape, he can kill it after a while of fighting. After all, the difficulty of defeating and killing is different.
This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is prone to unexpected situations. It would be troublesome if unstable space collapse occurs due to combat reasons.
So it’s better to explode all your strength and kill him instantly with one blow. At worst, you will be weak for a while. After the last experience, it’s just an instantaneous explosion and you can still bear it.
After recovering for a while, Chen Chu came to the body of the hairy ape and jumped up with a burst of strength under his feet.
Suddenly, Chen Chu couldn't help but smile.
The fifth-level life crystal worth 160 points, plus the mutated beast corpse worth about 150 points, made a profit even if no resources were found during this trip.
That’s right, the fifth-level life crystal is only worth 160 contribution points, which is only twice as expensive as the fourth-level crystal.
The reason has been mentioned before. The amount of life energy contained in higher-level crystals is actually not much more than that of lower-level crystals. The most important thing is purity.
This can be seen from the changes in the size of the life crystal. The evolution of the avatar and the evolution of the avatar accumulate vast and majestic evolutionary energy, and each time the physical body and life level evolve, there will be a huge jump.
After these mutated creatures reach the peak of their level, a crystal containing pure life energy will slowly form in their bodies, which functions like ignition and catalysis.
Light the fire of life evolution and let yourself evolve.
Hence, after reaching advanced levels, the life crystal redemption requirements are not as expensive as imagined.
If it weren't for the higher purity of the life energy contained in it, which has a significant strengthening effect on the physical body of practitioners of the same level, the price would be even cheaper.
Including the corpses of mutated beasts. After high levels, in addition to blood and essence, there are bones, scales, and some special internal organs that are more expensive.
The value of the most abundant mutated animal meat has plummeted.
Because ordinary people cannot digest the meat of advanced mutated creatures.
As for high-level cultivators, like mutated creatures, they can maintain their consumption by swallowing massive amounts of energy from the world and the world, so they rely less and less on food.
In this case, a lot of the flesh and blood of those high-level mutant beasts are processed into 'feed', or become military rations for long-term raids in the wild.
Holding the life crystal in his hand, Chen Chu’s voice rang in his mind: “Convert it into attribute points.”
“You transformed a high-purity life crystal and gained 165 attribute points.”
Suddenly, the attribute points that Chen Chu had used up due to strengthening the skill suddenly reached 168, but it was still far from the 300 points needed to strengthen the sixth level of Dragon Elephant Skill.
and…
Thinking of this, Chen Chu looked towards the end of the mountain wall in the distance.
Under the mountain wall, the huge cave becomes narrower the deeper it goes.
In addition, there are strong space fluctuations in the depths, and space cracks may appear at any time.
The milky-white crystals that Chen Chu saw earlier were deep in the cracks, mixed in with some broken rocks. As for the source, they should be caused by the collapse of space.
According to official research for many years, these space collapse points belong to the conflict nodes between the forces of the two worlds, and will immediately collapse in certain places that penetrate the two worlds.
In this case, a distorted and dangerous space zone will be formed, and at the same time, some materials from the mythical world will be involved, which is also the source of many resources.
These resources may be minerals, or they may be plants, fruits, or some special energy aggregates that contain special powers.
The ethereal crystals generally appear in places where the power of space is so strong that they almost turn void into reality, forming veins, or where such space collapses.
Arriving at the depths of the cave, Chen Chu carefully held the halberd in his hand and slowly pulled out three ethereal crystal stones the size of a fist.
Suddenly Chen Chu had a bright smile on his face.
Three ethereal crystals, each worth one hundred contribution points. Together with the corpse of the fifth-level peak mutant beast and the life crystal, the value of this harvest reached six hundred.
Sure enough, the stronger you are, the faster you can obtain resources.
This is also the reason why Xia Youhui has an endless supply of various high-level resources.
There is no way, having a brother who is a high-level cultivator above the seventh heaven is so arrogant.
After holding three ethereal crystals, Chen Chu fell into deep thought.
He was thinking whether to strengthen the space of the Sumeru Bracelet first, or to save attribute points until enough were accumulated later to break through the sixth level of the Dragon Elephant.
Soon Chen Chu decided to strengthen the Sumeru bracelet first.
For him now, the three cubic meters of Sumeru space is too small. If he puts the halberd, there is almost no room left behind the armor.
In this case, if you find some larger resources or precious items later, it will be inconvenient to take them away.
As for exchanging the ethereal crystals to the school, Chen Chu thought about it for a while and then gave up on the idea of getting some contributions to break through to the sixth level of Dragon Elephant.
Because it’s a loss.
Other students' resources submitted to the school are 20% off, while students with permission like him are 30% off or 20% off.
Equivalent to an ethereal crystal that originally contributed 100 points, he exchanged it for the school with only over 50 points.
Thinking of this, Chen Chu took a deep breath, took off the Sumeru bracelet, and held the three ethereal crystals and the bracelet in his hands. The thought rang in his mind.
“Consume attribute points to strengthen the Xumi Bracelet.”
At this moment, a row of transparent words appeared in front of Chen Chu’s eyes.
“This mineral belongs to the independent space type. Only one ethereal crystal can be fused for each enhancement, which consumes 30 attribute points. Do you want to fuse it?”
“It’s not possible to fuse them all at once, yes.” Chen Chu paused slightly and chose OK.
Suddenly, the special power of the reinforced item followed his hand, covering the Sumeru bracelet and a crystal.
Without any sound, the ethereal crystal slowly faded, and there was a vague void space inside that slowly overlapped with the Sumeru bracelet, and finally merged into one.
Suddenly, in Chen Chu's perception, the space inside the Xumi bracelet continued to grow, with the length, width and height increasing, gradually reaching the level of 5 cubic meters.
“Huh!” Chen Chu was suddenly surprised and hesitated slightly.
“Continue to strengthen.”
After consuming 90 attribute points, the three ethereal crystals were integrated into the Xumi bracelet, and the internal space continuously increased to 15 cubic meters.
This result surprised Chen Chudu.
Because the ethereal crystal was introduced as a void and weak space containing a cube inside, he always thought that strengthening would only increase one cube at a time.
Unexpectedly, this kind of strengthening increases in length, width and height simultaneously after absorbing the void space inside the crystal, so the increased space area becomes larger each time it is strengthened.
Perceiving the empty space that was five times larger, Chen Chu nodded with satisfaction.
After searching for resources, Chen Chu came back to the corpse of the mutated violent ape, took out eight anti-gravity disks and stuck them firmly underneath.
As the energy is transferred, the magnetic field is activated, and the sixty-ton mutant ape slowly floats one meter above the ground.
Four anti-gravity disks can form a strong magnetic field and drag an object weighing fifty tons, but due to the entanglement of the magnetic field, a force of twenty to thirty tons is required to drag it.
When the number of disks is increased to eight, it can drag an object of one hundred tons. Although the entanglement between the anti-gravity disk and the earth's magnetic field will be stronger, it will also be much easier.
It's just that this kind of use is very luxurious. Activating it once is equivalent to consuming eight contribution points. It takes almost two activations to travel more than a thousand kilometers.
So most people will not be so extravagant.
And just when Chen Chu was full of gains and rushed back carrying the corpse of the mutated beast.
On the big screen at the Nantian Wugao base, a row of red characters flashed.
“Ming Chengwu Gao, Ning Fei, with the fourth-level cultivation level, counterattacked Qiyuan Wu Gao Bai Feiyu, currently ranked 898 on the record list.”
“Damn! This monster who is number one on the first-year genius list has become a blockbuster and has directly entered the top 900 on the record list.”
"sharp."
“Haha, those of us with high Ming Cheng martial arts skills are more powerful.”
“Yes, although the two freshmen from Nantian Wugao entered the record list earlier, they are both ranked over 940, and their strength is far behind Ning Fei.”
