Scarlet Crack.
This is a secluded corner under a cliff. The river of magma below is flowing neither quietly nor noisily. Amid the flickering firelight, the toxic air is permeating and rising here.
Luo Wu was sitting on a rugged rock, his body was wriggling, as if it was made up of tens of millions of worms. Several arms grew out from behind him. These arms were either made of magma, or as hard as rocks, or dark red with strange patterns on them.
Extending from his back were several wings, some membranous like a bat's, others fully feathered.
Two curved horns protruded from both sides of his head, and the horns were covered with strange lines that flashed red light.
Luo Wu checked his condition, and said with a slight smile: "My condition has improved again, but..."
The image of the Kraft Gate flashed through his mind, as did the image of Peter smashing the giant black man's arm with one punch. Luo Wu scratched his hair and said, "This state is not enough to defeat that man. I woke up a little too early. Now the only ones who can leave the Kraft Gate are these scumbags."
"Although their messy abilities have enriched my skill system, they are not pure enough to form effective, powerful attacks."
"At least for that man, I am no match for him now."
Luo Wu crossed his legs and stared at the lava river below: "What should I do next?"
"Leave here, find a place to hide, and use my 'essence'. In a year, I will be able to defeat that man."
"But if I leave here, I don't know if I will encounter such delicious prey again in the future. So I will adopt the second method. I will hunt humans and black people in this big crack, absorb a large amount of power and ability, and then use my 'essence' to integrate and merge them, break through and upgrade, and improve to a level that can kill that man in a short period of time?"
As he spoke, Luo Wu's expression gradually became crazy. He laughed in a low voice like a madman: "I really don't have the patience to wait. This method really suits me better."
"Speaking of which, there are quite a few powerful humans in this big rift, and they are enough as nutrients. But now, I lack the means to instantly kill these powerful people. Once they react, it will be quite troublesome to unfold the weather, just like Shi Longtu."
"It's too difficult to kill that old guy when he's on guard."
"But this won't be a problem for me. I can combine the abilities I have now into one or two, and then use other abilities as 'fertilizer' to upgrade the combined abilities, allowing them to break through their original realms and achieve the effect of instant kill."
"But that's not enough. I have to take them by surprise. To do that, I have to discard those convenient 'parts' on my body..."
"Also, choose a good target..."
As thoughts came to his mind, Luo Wu's arms, two horns, and wings began to shrink and disappear. After a moment, he no longer had any special features.
Next, symbols appeared in Luo Wu's eyes, each of which represented the abilities he had reassembled from the black people. Now, these symbols in his eyes began to combine and overlap to form new symbols.
The symbols in his eyes were constantly decreasing, and the newly formed symbols became more complex. Finally, there was only one symbol left in each of Luo Wu's eyes.
"Done. Next, use the other redundant abilities as 'fertilizer' to upgrade the integrated abilities and allow them to break through to a new level..."
The two symbols in Luo Wu's eyes shone brightly. Every line that made up the symbol was wriggling, expanding and contracting imperceptibly. More subtle lines appeared on them. When these lines no longer generated and the symbol stabilized, Luo Wu's mouth opened into a smile.
"Okay, after the upgrade, these two abilities are now 'Hands of Embers' and 'Hellfire Robe'."
"The Hand of Ashes will instantly destroy anything it touches, turning it into ashes. Even a Dou Zong's Dou Qi armor can be destroyed in an instant. If you are not a Dou Zong, you will die as soon as it touches the target. Moreover, it will not emit high temperature before contacting the target. All energy is completely gathered in the hand and will not leak out. As long as you are careful, it will be difficult to find it."
"The Hellfire Armor allows high-heat energy to cover the body surface, forming a protective layer similar to the Dou Qi Armor, but it has a high temperature and will burn any contact with it. At the same time, it can stimulate my body, allowing me to improve in all aspects in a short period of time. It is an ability that combines offense and defense."
Luo Wu stood up from the rock and grinned: "Ready, the hunt begins!"
... ... .
Near the exit of Hell Castle, a hideous evil ghost mask quietly emerged from the surface of the mountain. The two eyeballs in the mask moved, taking in the nearby scene.
The battle here is over, and the coalition forces responsible for protecting the exit are consolidating their defenses. It seems that Luo Wu is not nearby... Tianyang carefully retracted the mask into the rock layer, then ran through the mountain, leaving the Hell Castle and going deep into the scarlet crack.
While running in the mountain, Tianyang's mind was distracted, thinking about how to search for the alien god.
"Assuming Luo Wu doesn't want to leave, if he has certain ambitions, he will stay in the Big Rift to look for opportunities."
"Shi Longtu said that Luo Wu has the ability to decompose the target, absorb the target's strength and ability, and then reassemble it to enhance his own strength."
"In this case, there are now many criminals in the Great Rift, and there is also a human coalition. For Luo Wu, the Scarlet Rift is a resource library. He can improve himself by constantly killing targets here."
"It would be fine if he targeted the black people, but if he targeted humans, which strong person would he be most likely to hunt?"
"Considering that once he goes hunting, he will be exposed immediately, regardless of success or failure. In other words, if he targets humans, he will have to take a huge risk."
"EsGod is not a fool. If he needs to take the greatest risk, he must obtain benefits that match it."
"If so, the answer is obvious..."
... ... .
Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosions could be heard almost everywhere in the Great Rift. The coalition forces composed of the armies of several large fortresses were busy killing the black civilians everywhere. Under the command of Laura Osk, the coalition forces first used their superior forces to divide the black civilians, allowing the Great Rift to form several regional battlefields.
After the division was completed, the troops in each fortress would shrink the battle circle and annihilate the black people.
And the Heavenly Rank strongmen like Laura run between the battlefields, responsible for killing those black people who are either powerful or weird or both, to prevent them from breaking through the battlefield.
Field, breaking the balance.
After killing another powerful high-level black citizen, Laura suddenly felt exhausted. At this time, she couldn't help but sigh that compared with other classes, the God of War class was more suitable for the battlefield.
Not to mention the killing power of the War God class after being promoted to the Heavenly Class, their ability of "Fighting Spirit Gathering" alone is enough to put them ahead of other classes.
That ability was born for conquering the battlefield. For Dou Zong, they rarely feel exhausted or run out of energy.
But it's different for hunters. Even after being promoted to 'Sharpshooter', the total number of stars in the star energy has increased by more than seven or eight times compared to the job level 6, but no matter how much energy there is, it will run out eventually. Without the ability of 'Fighting Spirit Gathering', other job levels must stop and rest after a certain amount of consumption.
Just like now, Laura picked up a bottle of special star essence replenishing liquid specially provided for congressmen to use, gulped it into her mouth, replenishing and accelerating the recovery of star essence.
After drinking up this bottle of replenishing liquid, the consumed star energy was barely recovered less than 20%. This was the potion specially provided by the Senate. If it was replaced with potions from other fortresses, it would be considered good if it could recover 10%.
There is no way around it. After reaching the Heavenly Stage, the total amount of star energy of the sublimator increases significantly, which limits the effect of the supplement fluid.
Currently, the most effective replenishing liquid is the 'Tai Yi Sheng Shui' invented by Cang Qiong Bao, which can instantly restore more than 30% of the star essence of a Heavenly Rank powerhouse. However, the material of this replenishing liquid is too rare and expensive, making it difficult to mass-produce.
While Laura was resting, the soldiers near her were still busy. The heavy artillery on the chariots not far away were roaring wildly, and star-level shells or physical shells dragging flames were whistling towards the positions of the black people, causing fierce flames to explode there and the ground to shake slightly.
The battle is in full swing.
At this time, it was hard for anyone to notice that a soldier wearing a full-face helmet and damaged armor was walking in Laura Osk's blind spot with the help of the terrain, and was carefully approaching the female member of the Golden Court.
This soldier was Luo Wu.
He killed a soldier, changed his equipment, and then threw the body into the river of lava. He gathered all his breath and locked onto his prey.
Laura Osk!
According to his observation, this woman could be said to be one of the strongest humans in the Great Rift.
The important thing is that this woman is a hunter. Even if her physique will be strengthened to a certain extent after being promoted to the Heavenly Rank, generally speaking, the extent of the strengthening is difficult to compare with that of the God of War rank.
Furthermore, the hunter had no fighting spirit armor, so as long as she was touched by his 'Hand of Ashes', even if she was at the Heavenly Rank, Laura would be reduced to ashes.
At this time, Luo Wu showed enough patience. Even though he was quite close to Laura, he did not act rashly.
He was waiting for an opportunity, a chance to contact Laura, and this opportunity soon came.
A powerful black creature suddenly appeared on the battlefield ahead. On its horned head, flames condensed into the shape of a crown. It was obvious that this black creature was a lord.
This was enough to attract Laura's attention. Even though her star energy had not recovered much, Laura had no time to rest. She stood up suddenly, concentrated her mind, raised the gorgeous bow, and planned to kill the black lord with one blow.
Focusing all her attention on the Black Lord, Laura didn't notice that among the soldiers running towards her, there was an alien god!
