Chapter 394 Scorched Abyss
After walking a few steps out of the elevator, Ji Xinghuo felt his feet sink slightly. The gravity of the Black Ring Star is greater than that of the Earth.
"It should be 1.3 times the gravity of the Earth."
This gravity has little effect on Ji Xinghuo, and he adapted to it in a blink of an eye.
The air of the Black Ring Star contains oxygen, with a content of less than 5%. If an ordinary Earthling were here, he would have difficulty breathing.
However, Ji Xinghuo had long gotten rid of his dependence on oxygen, and he was wearing the "Photosynthesis Ring", so he didn't need oxygen at all.
He looked around.
This is the base station of the space elevator on the Black Ring Star, located at the North Pole. A town has been built around the space elevator. It is not large in scale, with a range of less than ten kilometers. Most of it is within the electromagnetic induction, called the "North Pole Transfer Station".
A huge hemisphere is upside down like a bowl, covering the entire city.
Outside the transparent shield is an icy world.
Endless cold winds are howling, white glaciers spread to the end of the field of vision, and a red sun is hanging in the sky, but its temperature cannot be felt at all.
The protective shield was bustling. Many aliens shuttled between the buildings, which were at most five or six stories high. Various mounts and vehicles drove on the streets. From time to time, transport planes took off and passed through the protective shield and disappeared in the vast ice and snow.
Every few minutes, a space elevator descended from the sky or ascended into space.
Ji Xinghuo rode on the branch-horned cloud deer and walked around the Arctic transfer station for half a circle. He scanned the surroundings with electromagnetic induction and had a preliminary understanding of this place.
He chose a store and walked in.
This store was very diverse, selling weapons, armor and potions, and also purchasing exotic treasures. It did almost everything. It was a medium-sized store in the entire Arctic transfer station, and its business was neither good nor bad.
Electromagnetic induction found that from time to time, customers walked from an inconspicuous corner to the back of the store and communicated privately with the boss.
Obviously, they also traded intelligence.
This kind of local snake must be well-informed and also sell stolen goods and engage in illegal transactions.
"Sir."
Ji Xinghuo attracted the boss's attention as soon as he came in.
The other party was a Viper, but not a ghost Viper, but a red Viper that was very common in the Star Realm. It had a human head and a snake body, and was covered with fiery red snake scales from the waist down. It was more than four meters long, had two arms, and had scarlet eyes full of mercenary.
Karula saw at a glance that the barbarian who came in was a fifth-level strongman, and the top one among the fifth-level.
His sharp intuition told him that the strange barbarian in front of him was very scary!
So he immediately put on a warm smile.
But his smile seemed a little scary to Ji Xinghuo. After looking into the narrow snake eyes, Ji Xinghuo realized that the other party was very discerning. No wonder he could run an intelligence business at the Arctic transfer station.
"This is my first time on the Black Ring Star." Ji Xinghuo got straight to the point, not worried that the other party would dare to bully him and do something dirty just because he had just arrived.
While speaking, he took out his identity card, shook it, and put it away.
"Sir, then you should find me." Karuk was even more enthusiastic, his forked tongue hissing, and he introduced himself: "My name is Karula, and I am honored to serve you. What do you need?"
After a while.
Ji Xinghuo walked out of the door of the store, very satisfied.
This Karula is indeed a local snake. He not only knows the situation of the Black Ring Star very well, but also has a well-informed information channel.
Through Karula's introduction, Ji Xinghuo selected several areas suitable for his hunting, and purchased a batch of equipment specially designed for the geographical environment and monsters of the Black Ring Star. Although it cost tens of thousands of True Dragon Coins, it was worth it.
Ji Xinghuo did not waste a moment and boarded a transport plane with the branch-horned cloud deer.
This transport plane was chartered by him, and there were no other passengers.
"Huhu..."
The transport plane slowly took off and accelerated, passing through the protective shield and the vast wind and snow, and soon left the Arctic Circle, moving rapidly towards the equator at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Ji Xinghuo observed the outside from the porthole.
White glaciers connect tall mountains. As the latitude decreases, the temperature rises, the vegetation covers a wider area, and the greenery is lush.
No matter where you are on the Black Ring Star, you can see a huge black wall in the distant sky, like a rainbow magnified billions of times, spanning the sky and falling at the end of the world.
The closer you are to the equator, the larger the huge wall is in your field of vision, full of oppression.
The climate in the mid-latitudes is relatively stable.
In the equatorial region, however, chaos and disorder begin, volcanoes occur frequently, the sky is clear in the last second, and it turns into a storm in the next second. The earth is covered with shocking huge pits, which are caused by satellite fragments.
There are meteors in the sky, and even in the daytime, you can see the trailing tail flames breaking away from the planetary rings.
The autonomous transport plane dare not approach the planetary rings.
More than a thousand kilometers away from the equator, the transport plane landed and put Ji Xinghuo down.
"This bird place..."
Ji Xinghuo looked at the charred forest around him that seemed to have been hit by a meteor, and shook his head.
This is only a superficial scene.
As he got closer to the equator, he discovered that the magnetic field of the Black Ring Star was also in chaos and in an extremely unstable state.
This would definitely affect him. He had to be more focused when using the rotating magnetic field, electrostatic field, and Thunder Hand, especially when releasing lightning with psychic power. The range and accuracy were affected and difficult to master.
Fortunately, it was not a big problem.
Ji Xinghuo had already put on the newly bought combat armor on the transport plane. It was mainly made of science and technology and combined with ether technology, which was equivalent to Super Three Star.
The weapon is also switched to a high-power plasma pistol. Its range and lethality are no less than that of the Black Constant Crystal Battle Bow. The output power can be adjusted and is suitable for all levels of combat. A high-temperature plasma beam with the highest power can even kill instantly without protection. The legendary strongman.
It is also equipped with dozens of energy boxes, enough to sustain a long battle.
If you are not in the star realm, you will naturally use high-tech weapons and equipment.
These are all produced by True Dragon Dynasty.
Although the True Dragon Dynasty is based in the star realm and mainly develops etheric technology, they have not completely given up on scientific research. The level of science and technology is much higher than that of the earth. Based on technology alone, it can reach the level of a sixth-level civilization.
Ji Xinghuo jumped on the branch-horned cloud deer, pointed towards the south, "Run away."
To the south is the equator.
Among the several places given by Karula, one area is called the "Scorch Abyss", which is composed of countless east-west rift valleys. The deepest reaches directly into the earth's crust. The surface has been bombarded by meteorites falling off the planetary rings for hundreds of years, and is covered with meteorites. Pit, extremely dangerous.
The environment is only one risk factor.
The most terrifying thing is that this area was once the biological experimental park of the Youhu tribe. After the demise of the Youhu tribe, a large number of creatures fled into the underground rift valley, forming a complex ecological circle.
The branch-horned cloud deer runs on the rugged mountain road as if it were walking on flat ground.
Ji Xinghuo looked up.
The black planetary ring extends from the ground into space with no end in sight. It is like a giant wall about to collapse. It is spectacular and gives people a great sense of oppression.
According to records, only a small half of the Black Ring Star's satellite was actually shattered. The remaining parts fell into the extreme distance of Roche and were torn apart by the Black Ring Star's gravity. The heavier parts had already hit the surface, causing natural disasters.
And countless smaller moon fragments form the planetary rings.
But over the next hundreds of thousands of years, as more and more debris falls to the ground, the rings will gradually disappear.
The innermost planetary rings are pieces of black rock and ice. They streak across thousands of meters in the sky like never-ending meteors.
From time to time, meteors fall to the ground.
"If you film it and post it on the Internet on Earth, the number of views will definitely exceed 10 billion!"
Ji Xinghuo thought so, took out his mobile phone from the pocket of Jiyuan, and took pictures at the sky.
After taking several videos, he suddenly stopped.
With his right hand as fast as lightning, he pulled out the plasma pistol from his waist and fired at the side and front, and the blue and white beam of light flashed away.
Hundreds of meters away, a monster corpse fell out of the shadows.
[Spiritual Energy +18]
It was only then that the Branch-horned Cloud Deer was shocked to realize that there was a monster attack. His whole body trembled and he almost turned around and ran away.
"past."
Ji Xinghuo gave an order.
The branch-horned cloud deer walked nimbly to the monster corpse. In the process, Ji Xinghuo pulled the trigger continuously, and three blue lights burst out from the gun in different directions, and three more monster corpses appeared and fell.
[Spiritual energy +13+16+9]
"good!"
Ji Xinghuo saw the prompt information in his field of vision. This feeling of hunting monsters and harvesting spiritual energy was a bit long gone.
He jumped off the ground and took a closer look at these monsters.
A few lines of identification information popped up in the unilateral glasses worn on the face: "Large-scale shadow devil dog, super group level, keen sense of smell, stealth, fast running speed, good at ambush, living in groups, weak head, high threat level..."
"Shadow Demon Dog, elite level..."
Whenever Ji Xinghuo looks at a monster corpse, a prompt message will pop up.
These are scanning glasses specially made for identifying monsters on the Black Ring Star. They have infrared vision at night and can detect lurking monsters at close range. Almost everyone who hunts aliens on the Black Ring Star has one pair.
This super-class shadow demon dog is three and a half meters long. It is hairless, has deformed claws on its limbs, and has a huge black tumor on its abdomen. It looks disgusting.
The other three shadow demon dogs also have deformed organs on their bodies.
They belong to the same group, but their appearance is quite different. They don't look like natural species at all.
However, now they are all shot in the head.
Ji Xinghuo stretched out his hand and pressed it on the largest corpse, and a message about the alien species popped up in front of his eyes.
[Monster: Shadow Demon Dog]
[Level: Superior]
[Exotic: Spirit Smell, discolored skin, toughness, tearing, dark vision, flash step]
"Huh?"
Ji Xinghuo was surprised.
This shadow demon dog is only a super monster, but it has six different species. Not only is the number one or two more than the average super monster, but each one is very useful, like a carefully configured professional template.
Most monsters or spiritual beings, and the awakened alien species are related to the environment.
No matter how powerful the monster is, there are some alien species that are not that powerful and useful. After evolving many times, they become somewhat redundant or even useless.
This is the result of natural evolution.
Only intelligent races can selectively fuse and combine different species to maximize the utilization of each different species.
However, this variant of the Shadow Demon Dog does not have a "*", which shows that it was awakened and not acquired through fusion.
He examined the other three shadow demon dogs.
Although their strength is slightly lower and their species are slightly different, they are still useful.
"This should be the special thing about the Black Ring Star monsters." Ji Xinghuo thought, "Most of them are the products of biological experiments of the Youhu Clan. After thousands of years of intense evolution, there are still traces of artificial intervention."
Just by collecting the alien species of these four shadow demon dogs, you can complete a "Shadow Blade" career template.
Ji Xinghuo quickly completed the collection.
Then he continued walking.
Not long after, he noticed several gray-striped giant spiders lurking in the water, and shot them with a few shots, harvesting spiritual energy.
Like the shadow demon dog, these spider species have extremely high utilization rates.
And there are deformations on their bodies.
Yin Demon Dog, Gray-striped Giant Spider, Scavenger, Digging Seven-gilled Worm, Fog Monster... Branch-horned Cloud Deer ran for hundreds of kilometers, and Ji Xinghuo hunted all the way. No monster could get within a hundred meters of him, and they were all shot in the head.
No matter what kind of monster it is, it has deformation on its body.
They also have a common feature, that is, they are good at hiding and camouflage, and like to ambush targets, which is also the characteristic of the Youwei tribe.
The racial talent of the Youwei tribe is called "Dark Lord", which can temporarily transform the body between reality and illusion to avoid being attacked and hide its position, so it is a natural hidden assassin.
As the Youwei tribe evolves, the Dark Lord's talent becomes stronger and stronger.
In the end, the Yougui tribe integrated dark matter into their bodies and used the dark energy that is everywhere in the universe to increase their strength.
Their biotechnology research is mainly in this direction.
After the whole tribe was destroyed.
These monsters that are good at hiding and ambushing can survive in a drastically changing environment and defeat other monsters.
As for the distortion...
After Ji Xinghuo approached the equator, the scanning glasses kept prompting that the radiation level exceeded the standard.
More than a thousand years ago, after the True Dragon Dynasty killed the Shepherd Star Saint of the Yougui tribe, it directly dropped tens of thousands of nuclear bombs on the Yougui Star, destroying all cities and bombing off a layer of the entire surface of the planet.
Until now, there is still nuclear radiation, which is also the cause of the distortion of the monsters on the Black Ring Star.
When it was close to dark.
Ji Xinghuo arrived at the Jiaoqian Abyss at the equator. There were huge rifts that were bottomless. Meteors fell into them, and it took a long time to hear the echo that seemed to come from hell.
He glanced at the Wanxiang Xingtong interface.
Along the way, the number of monsters gradually increased, and more than 500 spiritual energy points have been harvested.
Looking down at the rift, Ji Xinghuo can sense that there are a lot of monsters hidden below.
These are all spiritual energy!
Even the hunting team led by the fifth-level legend dare not easily enter the bottom of the rift, even the king of heaven may be in danger of death.
Ji Xinghuo ordered: "Go down."
The branch-horned cloud deer stood at the edge of the rift, with fear in its eyes and trembling limbs. Ji Xinghuo urged it several times but it refused to move.
"Useless thing."
Ji Xinghuo looked helpless, but fortunately he didn't need it in the first place, "You stay here and wait, hide yourself." After saying that, he flew up from the back of the branch-horned cloud deer, and his body fell rapidly under the action of gravity, and soon disappeared into the dark abyss.
