Chapter 6: The Saber-toothed Tiger
At the foot of the mountain, Chang'an was wearing a pale red battle armor, humming a song and walking into the distance, still playing with the silver ring in his hand.
Under the threat and coaxing, Nat finally gave the space ring to Chang'an, and Chang'an left a spiritual imprint on the ring and became the new owner of the space ring.
The space inside the space ring is not large, only one cubic meter, and there are more than a dozen red power stones in it. Originally, there was also a set of spare battle armor for Nat, but now it was worn on Chang'an. Nath's personal terminal Chang'an didn't take it, Nat and the others just believed in the terminal too much, so they would provoke Chang'an, Chang'an didn't want to rely too much on this kind of thing, and there was no network connecting the universe on the earth, so it was not of much use to him.
Chang'an didn't take all those energy crystals, and only took a dozen of them. These spars are all fire-type spars containing the power of nature, Chang'an has already tried them, but they can't be absorbed by him, and the only use is to charge the lander. At this time, Chang'an's lander had been fully charged, but he didn't plan to go back now, but wanted to explore this new continent.
Methods like this way of entering the dark universe through receivers and landers have been used in the inner universe for decades, and many continents in the dark universe have become the testing grounds of the positive universe. However, this method is the first experiment in the outer universe, and the Harrington Star Field is fortunate to be selected by the Civilization Council to become the object of this trial.
Many civilizations in the Dark Universe are aware of these conditions, but for them, this is not a trial. In the face of a group of people who had just started to cultivate after their cultivation was exhausted, those local cultivators on the continent who were used as a testing ground had a huge advantage. Killing the people who are invading the universe, the civilizations of these continents will also gain a lot of benefits. If this is not handled well, then the existence of this civilization is meaningless. The survival rules of the dark universe are so cruel that civilizations that have no value will be abandoned.
The advanced civilizations in the two universes have maintained an indifferent attitude towards this kind of thing, and they also have the intention of competing with each other, wanting to see which of the younger generations is stronger. In the previous trials, both sides had their own victories and defeats, some continents were occupied by the positive universe, and some were slaughtered by the people of the positive universe. This is the first time to select a trialist in the outer universe, and the strength of the outer universe is generally much weaker than that of the inner universe, but the strength of the continent selected this time is also relatively low.
Alice told Chang'an that in addition to many precious ores and herbs on the mainland, there are also many powerful beasts, and there is also a local civilization on this continent.
People who enter this continent, in addition to plundering resources and cultivating, have a final task, whoever occupies this continent will be able to get a rich reward from the Civilization Council, and the civilization they are in will also have great benefits. The task of the local civilization on the continent is to destroy the established receiver and find and destroy the invading cosmic people.
The Harrington Star Domain is just an inconspicuous star field on the edge of the outer universe, and the strongest civilization in it is only a fourth-level civilization, but because of this operation, many young people from the surrounding star fields have come to the Harrington Star Field, wanting to obtain a lander to enter the dark universe and gain benefits from it. There are many ore herbs in the dark universe that are extinct in the positive universe, and these are the targets that people are fighting for.
After walking for dozens of minutes, I still didn't see a single beast. There are still mountains in front of him, and it is not clear how many days it will take to get out of here, Chang'an wonders in his heart if he is going in the wrong direction.
Standing on a boulder, Chang'an entered a state of cultivation, and with his first experience, he quickly integrated his spirit into his surroundings this time. As the spirit began to fluctuate, circles of silver light began to converge towards Chang'an's body.
It's not that Chang'an has to cultivate here, it's that he's hungry again, and he wants to relieve his hunger.
The star energy here is several times richer than on Earth, so it's no wonder that many people want to enter here to cultivate. Star energy is so rich, presumably other energies are also abundant. With Chang'an's current realm, it would have taken more than ten minutes of star energy to start refining the body, but here the star energy is abundant, and in just two minutes, Chang'an began to pose for refining the body.
After breaking through in strength, Chang'an can now take five postures, and the speed of refining cells has greatly increased. Although the absorption rate of starlight this time is several times faster than on Earth, it also requires more energy to quench cells. Chang'an was thinking about where to get some ore containing star energy.
Although the top-level exercises are powerful, the consumption is equally terrifying, and it is impossible to cultivate to a high level just by absorbing free star energy.
When he opened his eyes again, Chang'an's hunger had been alleviated a lot, but compared with last time, the hunger that could be alleviated by this cultivation was obviously not as good as last time. Chang'an continued to set off, intending to go offline to eat before the next hunger pang, if he hadn't found anything to eat.
Most civilizations in the dark universe are inhabited by continents, but there are still stars, the difference is that these stars are irregular shapes, some are elongated, and some are elliptical.
There are two suns in the sky of this continent, and the daylight hours are much longer than the night hours, and the length of each day is also several hours longer than that of the earth.
In the woods, several young blond men are besieging a giant beast. The behemoth resembles a tiger on Earth, but it has a pair of fangs as sharp as a sword, and its size is much larger than that of ordinary tigers.
One of the young men was two meters tall, wielding a giant sword in his hand, and the giant sword was also covered with a layer of earthy energy. Although this person looked powerful, the giant sword attack did not cause substantial damage to the tiger, and the yellow energy on the giant sword disappeared when it touched the tiger's body.
Seeing that the man was about to be injured by the tiger, a girl in the distance finally launched a long-prepared attack, the energy around the girl converged, and a fireball with a diameter of about half a meter condensed in front of her, and with the girl's wave of both hands, the fireball quickly crashed into the tiger.
With a "bang", the fireball smashed directly on the tiger's head, the flames splashed, and the tiger's movements were also paused, and the man with the giant sword also took advantage of this to get out of danger.
"Roar ......", an angry roar sounded, and the fireball did not cause substantial damage to the tiger, but only burned the hair on its head, which instead aroused the ferocity of the tiger.
"Gavin, let's run away, this saber-toothed tiger has a lot of immunity to energy, my spell won't do any damage to it, let's run away, and come back when the strength is stronger." In the distance, the girl shouted at the burly man with a giant sword, her voice full of panic.
"Damn, if it weren't for the fact that our strength hadn't come back from cultivation, how could we let this beast be so arrogant. But if we leave, if that rough mine is discovered by someone else, we will lose all our efforts! The burly man named Gavin looked very unwilling.
"Gavin, let's withdraw first, the strongest of us, Erin, can't deal with the saber-toothed tiger, if we don't leave, we'll all die here. If your life is gone, what's the use of getting the rough stones. Beside Gavin, a handsome man with a long sword was also persuading.
Erin is the girl who cast the fireball, the only one of the four, and the strongest of the four.
There are three main types of mainstream cultivation systems in the universe, the first is the physical cultivation of the body like Chang'an, but this kind of person is very rare, the second is the Nian master who majors in spiritual power like the girl Erin, and the third is also the one with the largest number of cultivators, and it is a warrior who mainly cultivates energy.
The lander takes people to the dark universe for the first time, although it can carry spirits, but the ability of the login is limited, and most of the spiritual power will dissipate during the shuttle process, and the retained spiritual power is stronger than ordinary people, but it is not too strong. Therefore, although the nunshi who majored in spiritual power had an advantage in the early stage, the advantage was not very great.
Physical cultivation is to rely on various energies to temper the body, the body is the strongest weapon, one palm can break the river, one punch can collapse the mountains, and in the later stage, you can even walk in the void with the physical body.
Nianshi is to cultivate spiritual power, relying on spiritual power to control the surrounding energy to release spells, powerful Nianshi can summon meteorites to destroy the world in a single thought, early Nianshi can only control a natural energy to form a low-level spell, powerful Nianshi can control several natural forces at the same time to release compound spells, top Nianshi can control the Force and even star energy to release forbidden spells.
Nianshi cultivates meditation and does not need to absorb any energy, so there is no such thing as a top-level exercise, but the rarity of a spell that can control star energy is also comparable to a top-level exercise, this kind of spell is called a forbidden technique, and it has the power to destroy the world. Although the cultivation of the Nian Master does not require resources such as primordial stones, the requirements for cultivators are very high, and there may not be a Nian Master who can cultivate spiritual power among a thousand people, and a genius may not be produced among a thousand Nian Masters.
According to the different cultivation energy, the strength of the warrior is also very different, the warrior's attack method mainly relies on the energy in the body to cast martial arts, and the powerful warrior can even split the battleship in half with one sword.
Of the four people fighting the giant tiger in front of him, except for Erin, who is a Nian teacher, the other three are all warriors, and Gavin, who is burly and holding a giant sword, is an earth-based warrior who cultivates the power of nature.
"Huya, Erin is weak, you take her to withdraw first, and I will break off with Harry." Gavin finally decided to withdraw first.
The handsome man was Hughya, and he nodded, ready to turn and leave.
"Ahem...... Friends, do you need help? A voice came, startling all four people present.
A figure walked slowly, with black hair and black eyes, and a head of broken hair flying in the wind.
The person who came was Chang'an, Chang'an walked all the way, and heard the sound of fighting and beast roars from a distance, driven by curiosity, he planned to come and see.
In front of Gavin, Chang'an's height of more than 1.8 meters looked very thin. "Friend, you seem to be in trouble, do you need help? Of course, you will share with me the rough ore in your mouth. ”
Although Chang'an didn't know what the rough stone mine was, he guessed that it should be a kind of power stone, and it seemed very precious to look at the appearance of a few people.
"It's okay to give you a share of the rough ore, but can you deal with this saber-toothed tiger?" Gavin looked at the "skinny" Chang'an in front of him, his eyes full of suspicion.
Chang An smiled and did not speak, but directly joined the battlefield. Chang'an dared to come out to deal with the saber-toothed tiger, and he also had confidence, I heard the conversation of a few people just now, this saber-toothed tiger has a strong immunity to energy attacks, but he is a physical cultivator, although the size is not as large as Gavin, but the pure strength can throw Gavin a few streets.
Seeing that someone came to help, several people stopped running away, planning to check the situation first.
Chang'an was not careless, but in the struggle between several people and the saber-toothed tiger, he found an opportunity and punched the saber-toothed tiger in the waist.
There was a "click", like the sound of a broken bone, and the saber-toothed tiger flew directly five or six meters away.
Gavin and the others looked at Chang'an in surprise, unexpectedly that this thin body contained such a great power.
The saber-toothed tiger roared again and struggled to get up, but it was wounded to its waist and its two hind limbs were a little unsteady on its feet. Taking advantage of its illness to kill it, Chang'an deceived himself again and smashed a punch into the saber-toothed tiger's waist again.
The saber-toothed tiger also knew the power of Chang'an's punch, and hurriedly turned around to avoid his waist, and at the same time, the tiger's tail brought gusts of cold wind and pumped towards Chang'an fiercely.
There was another loud bang, and one man and one tiger retreated at the same time. Chang'an's punch slammed into the saber-toothed tiger's hind leg, and the saber-toothed tiger's tail also struck Chang'an's right arm.
Chang An stood up and shook his numb right arm, fortunately, the armor he was wearing had a certain defensive power, and his body was not what it used to be, otherwise his arm would have been broken.
Chang'an doesn't know any fighting skills, and the only martial art he knows, "Splitting the Empty Palm", has not yet been learned, and fighting with the saber-toothed tiger can only be hand-to-hand.
Rushing forward again, one of the hind limbs of the saber-toothed tiger at this time was also injured, and his body was not as agile as at the beginning, and his dodge speed was much slower. Chang'an's every blow landed on the saber-toothed tiger's waist, and he was also hit several times by the tiger's claws, but the saber-toothed tiger's injuries were obviously more serious than Chang'an's.
After a few rounds, Chang'an's armor was somewhat damaged, but the saber-toothed tiger fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
The fierce battle stunned the four Gavin around, they had never seen such a way of fighting, although it was very dangerous, but the visual impact of the fist to the flesh made several people very enjoyable to watch, and they forgot to step forward to help for a while.
