Chapter 5 Physical Strengthening
When the hard skin of the humanoid mantis is touched, the "blood red" automatically emerges.
Chen Xiao's palm felt a tumbling burning sensation, and in his surprised gaze, the humanoid praying mantis shriveled and melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye, being swallowed by him little by little, and then turning into a puddle of green stains.
After devouring the humanoid praying mantis, a cool feeling swam all over his body along his hands, and a sense of satisfaction from the soul filled his brain, and he couldn't help but let out an extremely comfortable cry: "Ah......hhhh
The "blood-red" cylindrical status bar in the line of sight gave birth to a red liquid, and then the red liquid climbed at a rapid speed, and it was all filled in a short time.
When the cylindrical status bar is filled, a "+" sign pops up at the top of the transparent box.
"It's ......"
He has been playing games for many years, and he always feels familiar, which is clearly the user interface of a terminal game.
Does this "+" mean upgrade?
Chen Xiao imagined a hand to click on the "+", but no matter how he clicked, there was no response.
"Maybe there's something else going on here." Chen Xiao stood up: "This dream must have other meanings. ”
Chen Xiao exhaled deeply: "No matter what the facts are, I have to be nervous and think more before that." ”
Chen Xiao looked at the only remaining woman's corpse on the ground, although the two did not know each other, but as ordinary people involved in Taixu, it was inevitable that a feeling of sadness swelled in his heart.
Chen Xiao clenched his hands into fists, and he looked at the signs that kept flashing in his field of vision: "I have to live no matter what." ”
Not far away, a hazy shadow gradually became staring, and clear footsteps could be heard.
Chen Xiao's spirit was shocked, and the half of the knife in his hand was tightly held in his hand: "There is another one?" ”
In the face of this unknown danger, Chen Xiao subconsciously wanted to escape, but soon the idea of escaping was suppressed by him.
If you always run away, when will you be a head? Avoiding difficulties will only make them more troublesome.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath, turned around and wiped the dried blood on his lips, and said to himself: "What do you say to do in the face of danger?" Red. ”
The familiar interface appeared in his field of vision, and the "+" kept flashing, as if a long-lost partner was encouraging him.
The humanoid mantis rushed over, and seeing that the humanoid mantis was about to touch Chen Xiao, he suddenly became short, then rushed up, and stabbed head-on with a knife in both hands: "Of course I ate it!! ”
The humanoid mantis didn't react, and the broken knife pierced his hard skin, and green blood splattered.
"Roar!" The humanoid praying mantis suffered from pain and frantically swung its scythe-like forelimbs.
Chen Xiao took advantage of the momentum and rolled to the side, relying on instinct to avoid it, and inserted a half-cut boning knife into the body of the humanoid mantis.
At this time, he noticed a blue font in a transparent box in his sight, on which the words "flesh strengthened" were noted.
Looking at this transparent box, the only thing that can be added is this "physical strengthening", Chen Xiao did not hesitate to click the "+" sign above with his consciousness.
The state behind "Flesh Enhancement" was originally the state of "0", but the moment he concentrated on clicking the "+" sign, the "0" state suddenly jumped to "1", and the filled blood column was suddenly emptied, returning to a transparent state, and a huge black "LV1" appeared out of thin air in the middle.
Airplanes!
Chen Xiao felt a roar in his brain, his body was like an electric shock, and a tingling sensation came from his muscles. He saw the muscles in his arms squirming, a magical force nourishing them.
The muscles of his whole body seemed to come to life, and Chen Xiao couldn't help but suppress his voice in his throat again and screamed: "Ah......"
After almost a few breaths, these abnormalities completely disappeared, and the ensuing comfort came out from the bones, like entering the air-conditioned room during the summer scorching, and the moment the cold air rushed in, I felt happy from the inside out.
There was a whistling sound in the air, and seeing his forelimbs waving, Chen Xiao jumped up and actually jumped over the top of the humanoid mantis's head.
"Click." The arm-thick trunk was cut in two by a humanoid mantis.
"This force ......"
"Hiss......"
The humanoid praying mantis misses the blow and becomes irritable, and its throat constantly emits a strange "hiss" sound.
Chen Xiao became calm and calm, he was as vigorous as a cheetah. Every time the humanoid praying mantis "catches" him, he can skillfully avoid it, and when he rolls over to a certain angle, his eyes light up.
"It's now." Chen Xiao bent over and tossed, burrowed under the humanoid mantis, and grabbed the handle of the knife that had been inserted halfway.
"Give me death!"
The muscles of Chen Xiao's arms tensed instantly, and he spun the handle of the knife and smashed it, pushing it forward and cutting it horizontally.
The body of the humanoid praying mantis is like tofu, which has been cut in half by a knife.
Green blood splattered his face, with a bit of fishy heat.
The humanoid praying mantis struggled, its "mouth" rubbing back and forth.
For some reason, a burst of irritable emotions came out of him.
Chen Xiao pulled out the broken knife, inserted it into the mouth of the humanoid mantis, and pounded it repeatedly: "I'll let you eat people, eat, eat." ”
Chen Xiao continued to increase the strength in his hands, becoming more and more tyrannical, and even blood light was reflected in his pupils.
The repression of these days was completely released at this moment, and the fear of weirdness, the fear of death, and the fear of the unknown were all left behind by him, and unprecedented joy surged out of his heart.
The humanoid praying mantis stopped struggling, there was no movement, its head was smashed to pieces by Chen Xiao, and it couldn't die anymore.
The physical strength strengthened by "Blood Red" was unexpectedly large.
After such a vent, Chen Xiao felt a little tired, he looked at the palm of his hand and placed it on the body of the humanoid mantis.
"Blood red." Chen Xiao summoned out the interface and said coldly: "Devour it." ”
Chen Xiao's hand was placed on the body of the humanoid mantis, his palm became hot, and the mysterious power appeared again, and began to absorb the energy of the humanoid mantis.
Under Chen Xiao's gaze, the humanoid praying mantis gradually softened, then shriveled, and melted, becoming a puddle of green stains. The pores on his arms all opened, and a chill traveled through his body, slowly lowering the burning sensation.
The "blood-red" cylindrical status bar appears again with red liquid, constantly filling up, but this time it stops only halfway through, and no "+" sign pops up.
Chen Xiao analyzed: "'Blood Red' may be used to match this too illusory realm, weirdness is its fuel, every time you devour it, you can get a certain amount of energy to achieve upgrades, and every upgrade can increase your strength." Currently, LV2 requires twice as much energy as LV1. ”
"It's not that scary to look weird this way, and killing them makes me unexpectedly comfortable." Chen Xiao smiled and said into his palm: "Be careful, I can hunt a few." ”
Chen Xiao pulled out the broken knife and looked at it, the knife had been rolled up and could no longer be used, so he had no choice but to throw it away.
Out of the community, Chen Xiao looked around blankly, without a clue. Fortunately, the movement not far away continued to point out the direction for Chen Xiao.
Returning to the way he came, Chen Xiao rode forward on his electric motorcycle.
As the distance deepened, there were more stumps and severed arms along the way, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell, which was a bit like the smell of fish that had spoiled for a long time, and it was the smell of rot.
Chen Xiao's sense of hearing seemed to have become very sensitive, and there was a voice not far away.
He stopped, walked forward, and was engrossed in his attention, when he heard footsteps behind him, and Chen Xiao reflexively swung his fist back.
A short-haired woman in a black vest suddenly lost her face.
Seeing that it was a girl, Chen Xiao stopped his strength in time.
He looked up and down, the girl was about twenty-four years old, wearing blue skinny jeans and a good face.
"You ......"
"Shh The girl put her index finger to her mouth and motioned for him not to speak and to follow her.
Chen Xiao felt a little strange about the girl who suddenly appeared, but compared to those vicious weirdness, the same human being was still more kind, and after a little thought, he followed her.
After walking for about ten minutes, he was taken by the girl to the bottom of a building, and saw many people who were just as embarrassed as him.
"Hello, my name is Hu Feifei." The girl stopped and turned around and said, "Everyone arrived at this place inexplicably, and I thought that it was dangerous to be alone in a strange place, so I gathered everyone together and took care of each other." ”
"Yes." An old man in his sixties and seventies said excitedly: "This place is really dangerous, I just watched a young man being killed by a monster, that scene is too scary, we are not opponents at all." ”
"If we join forces, we may be able to give it a go." After killing a monster with his own hands, Chen Xiao was full of confidence, and he didn't agree with this old man's statement.
"You young people don't know the depths, don't listen to the old man's advice." The old man hates that iron is not made of steel. "I eat more salt than you eat."
"Then how many types of these monsters are there, what are their habits, what special abilities do they have, what are their advantages over humans, and are humans rations or teasing prey to them?" Chen Xiao paused for a moment and said to the old man: "Do you know what this world is all about?" ”
The sixty or seventy-year-old man was stunned for a moment, unable to answer any of Chen Xiao's questions, and trembled angrily: "The young man is young, and his temper is quite big, I don't know, I say it as if you know." ”
"I don't know, but I want to know, and I'll go for answers, not hide like an ostrich." Chen Xiao felt that it was quite boring to argue with the old man, he stretched out his hand and put it in front of Hu Feifei, no longer paying attention to this old stubbornness: "Hello, my name is Chen Xiao." ”
Hu Feifei smiled: "Then I'll introduce it again." Hello, my name is Hu Feifei. ”
