After getting Chen Rui's affirmative answer, the voice sounded again: "The test has only one content, to live! Failure means real death."
As soon as the words fell, the scene changed again, turning into a huge volcanic cave.
Boiling blood-red molten lava can be seen everywhere. In the terrible high temperature, the vision becomes distorted, and the scorching air is filled with suffocating oppression.
The fiery red eyes made Chen Rui squint his eyes uncomfortably. He had an intuition that this scene seemed not to be a simple illusion, but had a real meaning. Once he died here, his entire consciousness would be obliterated, equal to the real die.
What that voice said was not alarmist.
What's even more weird is that he can sense the existence of the super system in his body, but he can't use any skills or power, as if his mind is isolated by some special power, that is to say, he can only use the strength of his own demon emperor's first stage.
This cave is very large, with a height of hundreds of meters. Chen Rui didn't know what danger was waiting for him, so he could only use his strength to resist the high temperature, stepping on the hot black rock, and walked forward step by step carefully. go.
The temperature is getting higher and higher, and even the Demon Emperor's defense can hardly bear it, and the whole body is sweating like rain. If you stay in this environment for a long time, your body will suffer irreparable damage.
Chen Rui's eyes fell on the area of the lava not far away, his pupils shrank suddenly, and there was something floating on it.
One red flower.
The petals are like clear crystals, but they are by no means dead, but have real vitality. They bloom in this kind of magma that can melt everything, and they are not affected by the high temperature at all, but become more and more beautiful. More precisely, coquettish.
If you don't use your spiritual strength to resist the strange charm exuded by red flowers, you will be completely lost in it and unable to extricate yourself.
It is not the first time for Chen Rui to see this kind of flower. He had seen the same flower in the mysterious cave at the bottom of Crystal Valley. Unknowingly, it appeared in his hand. Later, when I was in the Serkred Mountain of the Blood Fiend Empire, this flower moved the demigod-level powerhouse Satan, and its name was the flower of the abyss!
Chen Rui once asked Laura, but even the fairy dragon with rich knowledge has never heard of the name of the flower of the abyss. Now, the flower of the abyss appeared before the eyes again, in the scene of the inheritance trial of the ancient alchemy civilization, and there must be a huge unknown secret hidden in it.
What surprised Chen Rui even more was that there was more than one flower of the abyss. As the pace progressed, more and more bewitching flowers appeared in sight, two, three...
Chen Rui instinctively felt that he seemed to be approaching a certain goal of the trial step by step, or in other words, getting closer to a certain huge danger.
There were bursts of roars from the cave ahead, and creatures that had never been seen before appeared in front of them. These creatures were about the size of little lemurs, with sharp claws, thin limbs, and exaggerated mouths occupying half of it. On his face, the two rows of protruding fangs looked particularly ugly.
Due to the inability to use super system skills, Chen Rui was unable to detect the opponent's race or strength with analytical eyes, but the perception ability of the demon emperor level is still there. These monsters are strong or weak. It also has the strength of a high-level demon, exuding a ferocious and brutal aura, and did not retreat in fear because of Chen Rui's demon emperor-level strength, but rushed over ferociously.
There were so many of these little monsters, they didn't seem to be afraid of the temperature of the magma, and their jumping ability was astonishing. The one in the front leaped more than ten meters and rushed towards the sky. Before it touched Chen Rui, its limbs were already smashed to pieces. Chen Rui hit with both fists, and none of the monsters that rushed up were spared.
The monster behind did not show any fear or shrink back because of the death of its companion, but became even more ferocious. At this time, the nearby Flower of the Abyss was affected by some kind of force, and it burst open suddenly, and a stream of red mist with a strong aura enveloped the surrounding little monsters.
The bodies of those little monsters began to twist and swell, turning into two-meter-tall, red-covered, strong monsters with hideous features. The ferocious aura of these monsters became stronger, and their strength also experienced a qualitative leap. Many of them even reached the level of the Great Demon King, and they also possessed the new ability to eject high-temperature fireballs from their mouths.
Chen Rui's pressure suddenly increased. A monster that could be easily crushed with a single punch in the past can now be killed with two or three concentrated punches, and the opponent's counterattack is also quite sharp. He was overwhelmed by the continuous bombardment of fireballs Feel.
If there are more than a dozen monsters at the level of the Great Demon King, even without a super system, he can easily eliminate them. However, the number of monsters in front of him is close to a thousand, and there are hundreds of monsters that have mutated into the Great Demon King. They are not afraid of death at all.
As the saying goes, more ants kill elephants. Over time, the scars on the surrounded Chen Rui began to increase. In this world of trials, not only the super system, but the original passive attributes and equipment on his body also lost their effect.
The speed of the surrounding monsters suddenly slowed down, and their abilities in all aspects were rapidly weakening, and some even killed each other. It turns out that Chen Rui has already used the power of the Autumn Domain, all enemies in the domain will be weakened, aged, and given various negative states.
After the previous battle, Chen Rui realized that the key point of these mutated monsters was in the head, and their fists were like lightning. Wherever they passed, the monsters all died by headshots. After clearing out the most threatening enemies around them. Chen Rui punched the monster five meters away from the air, and there seemed to be some kind of turbulent power ripple in his sight. The bodies of dozens of small monsters and mutant monsters in the fan-shaped area were torn apart at the same time, and their stumps danced wildly. .
This is not a skill of the super system, but the superimposed strength that Chen Rui has comprehended from his practice in the Sea of Wrath. Usually, it is contained in the fist power at most and directly attacks. It is rarely released from the air like today.
Generally speaking, powerful people at the Demon King level and the Great Demon King level already have the ability to emit energy and launch long-range attacks such as shock waves. Chen Rui has already reached the Demon King level, so this form of attack is naturally not a problem. It's just that the super system's built-in skills are more powerful, consume less power, and have greater kill and grasp in battle, so they are rarely used in actual combat on weekdays, and are only used as skill training items to control power in practice.
For these big devil-level and devil-level enemies, the lethality of overlapping strength is quite commendable, but the power consumption is relatively greater, and this situation becomes more obvious when the passive attributes of astral body and spirit induction are lost. , Chen Rui immediately changed the power of the domain, weakening and adding negative status to the autumn domain into a strange force field.
The force field is full of strange forces that criss-cross. Even the monsters who are not afraid of high temperatures feel an unusual scorching heat and anxiety. Most of the attacks they send out are absorbed by this strange force field and transformed into Chen Rui's own power.
Chen Rui's attack at this time already carried the unique soul damage of Xia Zhiyu, and the soul power is precisely the weakness of monsters. Under the fierce attack of overlapping forces, the number of monsters who came forward decreased sharply, and finally they were all gone. .
The distorted force field gradually turned into a green breeze. Even the suffocating heat of the cave could not swallow this fresh and refreshing coolness. It was not until Chen Rui's injuries gradually recovered that the breeze disappeared.
After Chen Rui used the Domain of Spring to heal his injuries, he restrained the power of the domain, ignored the blazing heat, and fell down on the ground gasping for breath. He had exhausted all his cards just now to eliminate these terrifying monsters, and consumed a lot of power, but the same , the harvest is not small.
The superimposed strength of broken body did not feel very good during the practice training, but now it is used in this kind of group actual combat to find that there are many areas that need improvement, the power can be improved to a higher level, and the consumption can be reduced accordingly. If the improvement is successful, it will be a new combat technique not inferior to the super system.
In terms of domains, apart from some details that need to be improved, the flaws have also become obvious, that is, aggressiveness. Whether it is the autumn domain or the summer domain, they are mainly auxiliary and lack real lethality. In fact, Chen Rui has been thinking about this issue before. In his vision, the last "Winter Domain" is the domain aimed at this defect.
At present, the general "framework" of the Winter Domain is almost the same, but the most important "soul" is still missing, because this kind of domain exists out of the super system, and it cannot sit back and enjoy the benefits, and must be comprehended by itself.
After recovering for a while, Chen Rui embarked on the road of advancement again. The number of flowers in the abyss gradually increased, and more and more enemies were encountered, not only such small monsters, but also more difficult unknown monsters. This kind of monster has curved horns on its head, it is strong and tall, its eyes are burning red like flames, and there are sharp bone spurs on its arms and shoulders. Flame-like red light radiated from the black skin, and its power was extremely violent. The whole thing was a killing machine.
Monsters have a higher level of intelligence and blood, and can drive small monsters to attack. Chen Rui already understood the terrifying effect of the Flower of the Abyss. These monsters with horns are currently only at the level of the Great Demon King. Once they accept the power of the Flower of the Abyss, they may increase to the level of the Demon King. Of course, the effect of the flower of the abyss is not endless, and after the boost effect passes, it will fall into a certain period of weakness.
Chen Rui's tactic is to stay as far away from the Flower of the Abyss as possible, using the three domains combined with overlapping strength to kill in one hit, first kill the most threatening horned monster at all costs, and then deal with those little things. If the flower of the abyss cannot be avoided, try to use delaying tactics, and wait until the boost effect passes before killing the enemy.
In this trial world, there is only the consumption of strength, and there is no feeling of hunger or thirst. Although the physical strength is exhausted, Chen Rui is still able to persevere. After successive killings and tempering, the use of overlapping forces became more and more proficient, and another mysterious feeling became faintly clear, but the key was still unclear for a while.
"Roar!"
At the same time as Chen Rui gave birth to a warning sign, a roar sounded in the wide corridor ahead, and a group of strong horned monsters drove thousands of small monsters to appear in sight, and the red light in the eyes of the tallest horned monster was far away. Outperforms its peers and seems to have mutated elite powers.
Chen Rui's complexion suddenly changed, because the mutated horned monster was holding a flower of the abyss in its hand, its ferocious eyes locked on him tightly, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
The flower of the abyss suddenly exploded, and several nearby monsters howled at the same time, and began to mutate. Their bodies did not swell too much, but the red light in their bodies shone even more, and their corners, bone spurs, and limbs burned maniacally at the same time. The flame suddenly multiplied.
Chen Rui felt that the increase degree and effective number of the flower of the abyss to the horned monster were weaker than the previous little monsters. It seems that the increase of that kind of mutation is not without an upper limit. The horned monster is not something he can match in his current state. Not only that, but the rest of the horned monsters also started to use the flower of the abyss, and the monsters whose strength had soared rushed towards Chen Rui like a tide.
Chen Rui turned around and ran away without hesitation, jokingly, with such a huge disparity in strength, no tactics would work, it was better to run for his life first.
The mutated elite was powerful and followed him closely. The flaming bone spurs on its shoulders suddenly shot out like sharp arrows. Chen Rui dodged half a beat slower, and the left shoulder was pierced by the bone spurs, feeling the flames Like magma, the tissue near the wound was burned, the blood was quickly evaporated, and even the bones were almost reduced to ashes under this high temperature.
The wounded Chen Rui suddenly slowed down, and suddenly turned back with a punch, hitting the approaching elite monster with seven waves of surging energy, and the monster's chest immediately had a sunken fist mark and flew out backwards. There were flaming juices sprinkled along the way, but they stood firm and did not suffer fatal injuries.
This action made the speed even slower, and Chen Rui was surrounded by pursuers in the blink of an eye. Those monsters were very cunning and did not attack directly, but drove the mutated little monsters to besiege desperately, while he hid in the Waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack.
Knowing that he could only do his best now, Chen Rui pulled out the bone spur reluctantly, held it in his hand as a weapon, and rushed towards the group of monsters.
In the almost numb fight, all the moves were displayed, and the attacks, defenses, and dodges were almost all done instinctively. The closer to the edge of life and death, the more profound the strange feeling, as long as you grasp the If you keep comprehending this feeling, you will be able to truly master it. It's a pity that Chen Rui can't wait for this time, because his injuries are already extremely serious, his strength is on the verge of collapse, and he is about to be completely submerged by the tide of monsters.
The rock wall at the top of the cave suddenly began to tremble, stalagmites continued to fall, and suddenly, with a bang, a large hole appeared.
A black shadow fell rapidly from the hole, shaking the entire corridor. It was a huge human figure, about ten meters tall, and its whole body was made of dark golden metal. The eyes emitted a light blue light. Bias The war puppets of the Morde family are taller, and their appearance is somewhat similar to the mobile armor described in fantasy novels on another plane in Chen Rui's memory.
When the giant mecha stepped on it, several little monsters that couldn't dodge were immediately crushed into meat paste. Its huge palm opened, and a gun barrel appeared in the center, and a golden beam of light shot out. , The monsters were all wiped out.
Black shadows fell continuously from the hole above. It was a crystal-clear magical beast, which reminded Chen Rui of the Crystal Man inexplicably, and then another familiar figure appeared: Lantern Spirit!
A lamp spirit came to Chen Rui's side, stretched out his hand, and a white light fell on his body, and the injury quickly began to heal.
The lamp spirit said something to Chen Rui. Unfortunately, Chen Rui has lost the super system skills now, so he can't understand what he said. Not the enemy.
