The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain

Chapter 161: strange people

Views:

Three days later, the Western Continent.

In a border town where Codex and Amister Federation intersect.

Billowing thick smoke enveloped the entire town, and blood and fire became the most common background.

In this small town that looked like the end of the world, a blonde woman stood on a street as if nothing had happened. Around her, there were corpses lying on the ground, exploding cars, and dilapidated buildings, all in stark contrast to the woman's indifferent expression.

Beside the woman, there was a black-haired young man sitting cross-legged. The young man has a delicate face, which looks extremely handsome, giving people a feeling of coming out of a painting. But at this time, the young man frowned tightly, with a look of pain showing on his face from time to time, and he didn't know what he was doing.

At this moment, a group of strange people appeared in the distance. They were expressionless, powerful, and galloped like fierce horses. When they saw the standing blond woman and the black-haired young man sitting cross-legged, their eyes revealed bloodthirsty light. , roared and rushed over.

Hearing this voice, the young man still sat cross-legged, not paying any attention to it. The blond woman just gave the weird people who rushed over a slight sideways glance, and then she stretched out a finger.

As soon as he pointed out, the tyrannical Nian Qi rushed towards the attacking monsters with overwhelming momentum. Those monsters were all powerful, four or five frontal assaults, and even knocked over the car.

He has never met an opponent in the collision and killing all the way in the small town, but this time he was rushed by the woman's thoughts, like a toy, and was directly torn to pieces by the violent thoughts.

With just one finger, dozens of weirdos have all died in battle.

The blond woman raised her hand lightly again, and spiritual fires that were invisible to the naked eye floated out from the heads of each weirdo.

The woman said to the black-haired young man sitting cross-legged: "Zhenhai, can you still accept it?"

Shang Zhenhai shook his head: "It can't be done, leader, has reached the limit, if you absorb it again, I'm afraid you will die of insanity directly."

The woman whom Shang Zhenhai called the leader nodded, and then all the spiritual fires were sucked into her mouth, like a long whale sucking water. In just a few seconds, the dozens of spiritual fires were all taken by the woman. Suck it clean.

The young man on the side was envious for a while, but he knew that this spiritual fire not only contained the soul power of the deceased, but also possessed countless memories and consciousness. Too much, not enough to suppress the complicated consciousness in it, the absorber himself will become mentally disordered instead.

After absorbing dozens of spiritual fires, the woman known as the lord of the Star Alliance asked again: "Zhenhai, how long do you have to digest?"

"Leader, there are still four or five hours to go." Shang Zhenhai estimated: "After absorbing this time, I should be able to reach the fourth energy level. The speed of upgrading this way is really too fast."

"It's too long, it's too late." The blond woman frowned, shook her head and said, "The source of infection has fled into the territory of Codex two hours ago, we can't stay too far away from him, otherwise once he recovers, even It’s also very troublesome for me to deal with.”

Shang Zhenhai nodded solemnly. The so-called source of infection was the culprit that caused cannibalism in the Amister Federation. According to the investigation, it is suspected to be an Amister Federation citizen who suddenly awakened his abilities on the west coast.

His ability is very special, he can emit and spread a virus from his body. This virus can only infect ordinary people, and after ordinary people are infected, they will lose their sanity, and at the same time, they will be infinitely powerful, as fast as a galloping horse, and fearless of death.

Because infected ordinary people will have a strong desire to eat people, the Imaginary Number Agency calls this infectious disease cannibalism. The infected people are called human monsters.

The most frightening thing about cannibalism is that ordinary people who are bitten by human monsters will also be infected with the virus and become the next human monsters.

Originally, after discovering this virus, the imaginary agency directly cooperated with the army to wipe out all the monsters at once. In fact, they did it very smoothly at first. After all, although human monsters are highly contagious, their combat effectiveness is not high. It is very easy to exterminate them with the imaginary number of powerful ability users and the advanced weapons of the army.

But the whole thing took a turn for the worse after a discovery. An ability user of the imaginary organization accidentally discovered the ability user who spread the virus. Before discovering that ability user, everyone thought it was just a sudden outbreak of virus, but no one thought that it was caused by ability.

When the person with the ability to spread the virus was discovered, the other party was creating new human monsters.

What followed was a series of hunts and searches. But the more people come into contact with this ability user, the more surprised the people from Imaginary Number Agency will be. They named the target ability user X, and they found that the biggest purpose of X's ability is not to destroy, but his real purpose of spreading the virus is hunting.

X first spread the virus. After human beings are infected with the virus and become human monsters, they will hunt humans crazily. By hunting humans, human monsters will become stronger and stronger. Go back to find X, and X will directly eat the human monster. After he eats the human monster, he will absorb the power of the human monster.

This is an unprecedented ferocious ability. In order to prevent X from growing to the point of being uncontrollable, the imaginary agency directly dispatched two level 5 ability users, the Silver Moon Giant God and the Fierce Fang Giant God, to hunt down X.

But when they arrived, X had grown from the initial third energy level to the fifth energy level. To make matters worse, their actions were stopped by the Covenant. At that time, the Silvermoon Colossus directly fought with the top cadre of the Star Alliance, Titan, who rushed over.

But until now, the Imaginary Number Agency has not been able to figure out why the Star Alliance wants to stop them.

What they didn't know was that for some unknown reason, Tianhou personally researched the incident between X and the monster, and made a major discovery.

Goblins prey on humans and sacrifice themselves to X. This appears to be an energy-intensive approach. But after days of research, it was found that this was far from the case.

Through a little bit of detection of Tianhou's spiritual force field up to the fifth energy level, she found that the soul of the infected person blames him will turn into a little soul fire, and every time he kills a person, it will absorb half of that human soul, and the remaining The second half becomes the soul fire of the new human monster. So the more people the monster kills, the stronger its power will be, and the stronger the fire of the soul will be. When they are strong enough to a certain limit, they will return to X and contribute their soul fire.

And the power that X uses to absorb strength is this kind of soul fire. X's virus, through the transformation of the body, affects the operation of the soul. This ability is simply unimaginable. Tianhou immediately thought of whether ordinary ability users could absorb this kind of soul fire.

She discovered that with the help of mental abilities, no matter what ability user can absorb these soul fires, although the efficiency is only about ten percent of that of X, it is also very terrifying.

This means that they can make themselves stronger by harvesting the monsters created by X. Tianhou's ability to break through to the sixth energy level obviously has a lot to do with the appearance of human monsters.

This is also the real reason why they prevented the Imaginary Number Agency from destroying X.

But it is obviously very unsafe to let X stay in the Almister Federation. The actions of the Star Alliance will be suspected by the Imaginary Agency.

So then the Star Alliance and the imaginary organization split into two groups, chasing X on the surface, but they were actually absorbing the spiritual fire of the monsters together. However, in order to prevent X from becoming more and more powerful and uncontrollable, Tianhou personally led the team and kept the rhythm well controlled. Every time X completed the virus spreading, but before he absorbed the monsters, he was injured directly , drive away, and absorb the spiritual fire later in the day.

As for the deaths of more than 300,000 civilians along the way, that is not what the Star Alliance cares about.

They even drove X to the country of Codex consciously, and the country of Codex was the weakest among the three major powers in the Western Continent.

Thinking of this, Shang Zhenhai thought, "Perhaps the entire Codex Country will be sacrificed and become a land of death, and after X is used up, he will be arrested, either studied or imprisoned. "

At this moment, the Queen of Heaven suddenly said: "Zhenhai, your ability has great potential. Although it has not been announced, it is listed in the ability sequence, but according to my estimation, with the superiority of your ability, it is in the ability sequence of the field department. , enough to rank in the top five. That's why I brought you here to quickly improve your abilities."

"The lord's kindness, the subordinates are very grateful." Shang Zhenhai knelt down and said.

"Okay, there's no time. Since you can't absorb it yet, I'll absorb it first. Then go after X." Tianhou stretched out her hand, and the whole town was enveloped by an invisible spiritual force field. Tens of thousands of people felt as if they had been hit hard, and they were directly smashed to the ground by an invisible force at the same time.

Then, under the effect of the spiritual force field, tens of thousands of spiritual fires were directly pulled out, gathering towards the Queen of Heaven like a Milky Way.

In just half a minute, tens of thousands of monsters have been wiped out by Tianhou's blow.

After absorbing all the spiritual fire, Tianhou said calmly: "Zhenhai, get ready to go, we will get close to X once, but this body is too fragile and can only exert 30% of my strength, next time you have to be careful. But This is also an opportunity to hone you. Energy level is not everything, actual combat is the best alchemy stone."

At this moment, the communicator on Tianhou's body rang.

After Tianhou clicked on it, a voice came from inside: "Congratulations to the lord for being promoted to the sixth energy level. From now on, you will be invincible in all travels."

"Okay Bruman, stop talking nonsense, what's your business." Tian Hou said coldly.

Bruman flattered and said: "Leader, because you were busy with the affairs of the Amister Federation some time ago, my order on Daxia has not been approved. I heard that the leader has finally been promoted to the sixth energy level, so yes no… "

"Li Anping from Daxia?" An evaluation report on Li Anping appeared in the queen's mind: "Although the potential is good, it is indeed a bit of an eyesore. I will send Yulia and Mamen to help you. After Li Anping disappears, you will disband by the way." Big Xia Dragon Sparrow, recruit all ability users above the third energy level, and other matters are based on Yulia's opinion."

Hearing that his right to dispose of Daxia changed hands in a blink of an eye, Brumman stammered: "...obey."

But Shang Zhenhai on the side suddenly interjected: "Leader, I wonder if we can keep Li Anping alive?"

"Oh?" Tian Hou seemed to suddenly think of something: "Yes, it seems that your father and younger brother died at the hands of Li Anping, right? You want to avenge yourself?"

"That's right." Shang Zhenhai asked, "I wonder if the lord can give me this opportunity."

"Alright, let's rush over when you are at the fourth energy level." Tianhou agreed, and she still admired Shang Zhenhai very much: "With your ability, the fourth energy level is enough to deal with him. But when the time comes you It must also be based on Yulia and Mamon's arrangements, and you can't mess around on your own."

"Thank you, leader." Shang Zhenhai said happily. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

At the same time, on the snowy ground in the north of the Eastern Continent, Li Anping was heading towards the ice castle. He didn't know that in the distant Western Continent, something closely related to him was gradually developing. But creatures with absolutely different abilities are about to or are turning the Western Continent upside down until they cause an astonishing storm that sweeps across the world.
