Chapter Twenty-Four: Becoming the Man at the Top of the Food Chain
Lush grass, ruined buildings, an abandoned city where wildlife roams.
I am no stranger to the apocalyptic scene in front of me, and even worse than this, I have seen a lot. Covered in leather armor, he rode a diesel tricycle on the road, with a large amount of food and drinks in the back frame of the tricycle, and a Tai Chi white pig sitting like a dog.
This Tai Chi white pig sat in the food pile and didn't tear and bite, it opened a pair of black and bright black eyes and scanned around, a strange creature in the shape of a pentagram flew from the owner's shoulder to the top of its head from time to time, the pig didn't mind, Yuehua's temper has always been excellent.
The non-legendary mutant green clay, Jupiter spirit Ike, and Li Yuehua in the state of domestic pigs, their existence consumes Zhu Peng's energy very low, especially the mutant green clay and Ike are in the key cultivation, so they are summoned twenty-four hours a day to exist in this demon-making sanctuary world.
(Riding a tricycle with a pig, how do I feel like I'm so like a vegetable seller in a market?) This time I was forced to be dragged into the mental world, I could slowly accumulate the power of fate and cool down the Abyss Demon card, which was originally too late to come in handy in the fight with the old fire.) In the grass on both sides of the road, from time to time, strong beasts even haunted by solitary demons, and wild beasts, even lions, bears, tigers and leopards, would be frightened back by Zhu Peng's occasional evil spirit.
The demon is even more clever, at least Zhu Peng has not encountered an offensive demon like the mad steel giant ape along the way, if it is an ordinary god eater, he may also try to capture some demons, but after Zhu Peng was promoted to a legendary wizard, he felt that there was not enough time to cultivate the main demon on his body, and he was not interested in catching the low-level demon envoy.
What's more, he didn't get the Demon Spirit Ball in this world, and he couldn't capture it if he wanted to.
Riding a motorcycle tricycle, occasionally encountering some refugee-like humans, in this apocalyptic demon world, these indigenous humans are in a miserable situation, the sudden outbreak of the zombie virus has caused the number of human beings to plummet, directly losing the status of the world hegemon, and the mad demon will consciously hunt and kill humans.
In this regard, Zhu Peng expressed sympathy, but there was nothing he could do.
This world is all constructed according to the will of the ghost-shaped people, it may be between the real and the unreal, but the basic conditions of time, space, and energy are all present, and it can be understood that all the god-eaters who practice the Shadow Mask meditation method are all in a nightmare world that they have created together, but the ghost-shaped people are undoubtedly the strongest existence among them. Therefore, his will in a sense represents the Heavenly Dao of this world.
"With the mental state of a madman, it's good that he can maintain such a basically stable world form, and as for the end of the world, the zombie element is messing around or something, and there is nothing to be done about it. Zhu Peng rode a tricycle and looked up at the sky, and then he clearly saw the huge face of the ghost-shaped man in the sky, and he was smiling at himself.
Zhu Peng's whole person was agitated, and when he closed his eyes and looked at the past again, the huge face above the sky had disappeared, so even Zhu Peng himself didn't know if he was hallucinating at that moment just now.
According to Zhu Peng's deduction, this apocalyptic demon world is based on the sense of time of the ghost-shaped people, the energy is the main body, and the mental image is cast in space, although there are also other god-eaters who are invested in it, but the main body is a ghost-shaped person, which is definitely true.
Low-level God Eaters in this mental image either team up to kill, or team up to protect themselves, they kill the indigenous trainers of this world, or powerful demons can get the "experience points" package of Demon Spirit Light Flame, if they return to reality safely, their spiritual power and demon strength can be increased by leaps and bounds.
Among them, the high-level God Eaters, the third order and even the legends, hunted the low-level God Eaters like lone wolves, and turned into the ghouls in their mouths.
(So, what is my position in this world?Ghost Mutation Enhanced, Ghost King?) When Zhu Peng was driving a tricycle, pondering the profound and unsolvable question of "Who am I, what am I doing, and where am I going", Yuehua behind him suddenly arched forward.
Zhu Peng turned around and saw his Taiji white-striped pig pouting in one direction.
"Anyway, there's nothing to do in a hurry, so I'll listen to you, but if I don't make enough profit from running for nothing, tonight's dinner will be sauerkraut stewed with white meat, and I adjusted the chili oil last night." After speaking, Zhu Peng didn't care about Yuehua's frightened expression, turned the head of his tricycle, and moved in the direction where his own meat reserves were pointing.
It stands to reason that Zhu Peng's magic mechanics have been studied to the legendary level, and it is easy for him to learn to drive or even simply build cars, but Zhu Peng just doesn't like cars, and this mood should be inherited from Zhang Yuanfang.
Lao Dao never took a car in his life, he always felt that it was an iron coffin, Zhu Peng was not so extreme, but he didn't like it either, the types of cars that ordinary boys liked, Zhu Peng never knew and was not interested in understanding.
"Boom Guy Guy ......"
In an empty and deserted building, an old wizard in a gray robe with a white bone staff in his hand commands his skeleton warrior to cut down Ron who is finally in front of the red-haired girl.
The foul-tempered Feige with his hell hedger, along with his hedger, had been nailed to the ground with a bone spear and had been dead for a long time.
The worst thing is the short-haired three-no girl, whose body is almost cut into several pieces, and the death is extremely miserable, Uncle Xu, who has a crab to make demons, has a deep and long knife mark on his back lying on the ground at the moment, Katrin's own red-scaled Tyrannosaurus rex, the body has expanded several times and has become really like a Tyrannosaurus rex, but there is still no use, in front of the powerful ghoul in front of him, just a few times to put it aside, and the body wrapped in red scales around it was bombarded and cracked.
"If I hadn't struggled so hard, I might have died a little easier. You regard the natives of this world as food, but have you ever thought about it, and you are all food prepared by the mentor for me, for me, the strongest, so there is nothing to complain about, everyone is a young wolf who has kissed blood, and I only killed you because I am stronger than all of you, and will be stronger. The old wizard, who was clearly specialized in necromancers, waved his bone staff in his hand and spoke feverishly.
He walked towards Katrin step by step, and the red-haired girl on the other side tried to resist, but was slapped by the old wizard who seemed to be thin but was actually quite powerful.
"Is it beautiful, let Lao Tzu be cool before he dies, of course, you can also resist, anyway, after killing you, Lao Tzu is as cool. "Although most necromancers are "pure-hearted and have few desires", there are also some female slaves, but because negative energy will seriously erode their bodies, many necromancers will appear extremely cruel****** and they will be raped, and it is too much to rape first and then kill, and some are more ruthless to kill first and then rape, and then rape and kill, and then kill and rape...... This is typical of perverts, but it's worth noting that necromancers who indulge in this thrill often don't achieve much more, especially when performing lich transformation rituals, and the failure rate is ridiculously high.
Theoretically, it is the wizards who are addicted to this kind of perverted pleasure that their self-control is too weak, and the probability of natural promotion is low, but some people believe that these wizards are surrounded by too many resentful spirits, they usually do not appear, but at the most critical moment, they will drag the people who mutilated them to the depths of hell together.
As the old necromantic wizard slapped Catlyn a few times and ripped off people's clothes, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the distant building, like a heavy horse.
The old wizard's movements froze, and he commanded the necromantic skeletons surrounding him to his left and right, "Array, protect me." โ
With the master's order, the soul flame in the necromantic skeleton skull flickered, and then these half-metal and half-skeleton skeleton soldiers blocked in front of the old wizard, and at the moment of completing this action, they happened to see a huge black wild boar crashing through the door, rushing over with a terrifying and prominent momentum, it was Li Yuehua who was in a state of full firepower, or rather: Northern Fury Gray Fang Steel Sideburns!
When everyone's attention was attracted by the charging war pig, Zhu Peng, who was covered in leather armor, climbed the outer edge of the window and sneaked in.
He restrained his breath, picked up a stone on the ground, and gradually approached the old wizard, but at this time Katrin saw him unexpectedly, Zhu Peng made a silent gesture in front of his lips with his left index finger, and then moved a few steps forward, and threw a stone with great force, flying towards the back of the old wizard's head.
Zhu Peng is a master of martial arts, good at exerting power and having an accurate hand, and is proficient in the vital points of the human body.
However, the moment before the stone hit the back of the old wizard's head, a circle of black and gray light shields that rotated with the skeleton suddenly popped out, shattering the cement block in an instant, and at the same time, as the old wizard turned around, a death knight covered in steel armor and with an extremely strong soul flame in his helmet appeared out of space and stood beside the old wizard.
As the stone flew out, Zhu Peng's figure also pounced violently forward at the same time.
He didn't expect a flying stone to kill a legendary wizard directly, even if it was a suppressed and weakened type in this mental world.
In the process of rushing forward, the leather armor on Zhu Peng's body quickly changed qualitatively, forming a thick metal-like exoskeleton armor: anti-gravity exoskeleton armor, Zhu Peng is proficient in magic mechanics, and when he made Kogas armored, he contained a lot of knowledge in this area, but the load on the mutated green clay was usually too large and difficult to last, so it was usually only maintained in the low-energy state of the leather armor, but at this moment it was running at full strength, and the blessing effect on the master was raised to a relative peak in a short period of time.
It is precisely because with the extension of the cultivation time, although the rank of the mutant green clay has not been improved, the functionality is really getting stronger and stronger, so Zhu Peng has been reluctant to give up it.
With the blessing of an anti-gravity exoskeleton armor, Zhu Peng threw out his other demon spirit balls at the same time in the process of running forward, summoning the demon to gush out in the burning light flames, and in the process of attacking the old wizard, he also let the other party know that he had encountered a difficult opponent.
"Death...... Vortex!" violently slammed the bone staff in her hand, and a circle of black and gray magic aura spread around her body, and Katrin was directly pushed away by the terrifying magic overflow, this level of fighting and fighting, just the aftermath was difficult for her to bear.
With the instant completion of the spell, the undead old wizard came out of the illusory magic vortex around the necromantic demon one after another, skeletons and zombies were just the lowest level of cannon fodder, the intermediate stitching monsters, and the abomination, they were all under the command of the strongest necromantic knight beside the old wizard, and they were charged towards Zhu Peng's legion.
(The use of magic so freely, although still suppressed, is ...... Can it only be said that it is worthy of being a ghoul?) He can borrow the mutated green clay mimic anti-gravity exoskeleton armor to restore some melee abilities, so it is natural for other legendary wizards to study some loopholes in their favor, after all, in terms of research and exploration of this mental world, Zhu Peng is lagging behind other legendary wizards, because he has come in very few times.
With both palms slapping out, several skeletons and zombies that had clashed with Zhu Peng in close combat were directly thrown out with a spin, smashing on other high-level necromantic demons, and even directly smashed into pieces.
Zhu Peng used the strength of anti-gravity to exert the Baguazhang Monument Smashing Hand, revealing an irresistible calm and fierce in his light and agile body, just like a fast-spinning stone mill, blasting almost all the low-level necromancers around him scattered and flew away, and he was the most violent and high-end one among the many demons under his command.
And this kind of performance gave the necromancer on the opposite side a misunderstanding: this is a humanoid melee demon, and the real God Eater is still hiding in the shadows, not knowing where to wait for himself.
This invisible and non-existent enemy gave the necromancer great psychological pressure, because he felt that facing the impact of Zhu Peng's many demons was already very stressful, and he felt that it was difficult to resist, and now he was even more afraid to cast spells, and blessed himself with multiple spells to thicken his own defense and security.
This is a mistake, as soon as Zhu Peng saw this scene, he temporarily extinguished the idea of forcibly breaking the formation and killing him.
The Northern Fury, which was the first to open the Frost Shield and charge fearlessly, was so furious that it trampled several skeletons that stood in its way to smithereens, but was stopped by a tall, fat stitch monster.
The stitcher's steel-wrapped arm smashed on it, and it was damaged by the frost and the thick layer of flesh, making it difficult to inflict real damage, but the damage caused by the gray fang's steel sideburns to the stitching monster was quickly recovered after it grabbed a few corpses and devoured them.
For a while, the two big fat men frantically hedged each other, collided, and fought inextricably, but the big meat beat each other, and it was difficult to produce results in a short period of time.
Arthurs faced a three-headed Cerberus with an extremely terrifying form, Arthurs who had only one head but was extremely flexible, and it took about two minutes to tear the opponent into pieces of minced flesh, which was still completed under the interference of the melee, which fully proved that it is useless to have more heads, and it must be able to really fight.
A large number of black-red fragmentary particles spread with the death of the three-headed Cerberus, or every time a necromantic demon falls, there will be a certain amount of energy particles diffused, and the God Eater who specializes in the necromantic side is actually very easy to explode, and the comprehensive strength generated by the exploding is not weak, even if it is unfortunately wiped out, it is relatively easier for the God Eater who specializes in the necromantic side to make up for the loss of vitality.
On the other hand, like Zhu Peng, if he fights any unfortunate group annihilation, decades of hard work can be said to be directly burned, worthy of the name of hard work for decades, once back to the pre-liberation.
Therefore, Zhu Peng's manufacturing demons are often biased towards making those with rough skin and thick flesh that can be carried, and will not be like many high-output crispy demons, which are set on fire for an instant, and they don't even have time to react to themselves, and Zhu Peng often takes the lead in combat, so that the improvement of the demon's morale is still secondary, and the most important thing is to grasp the first time of the battle, which is simply incomparable to other conventional God Eaters.
Zhu Peng's demon is seriously injured, and he is often collected by Zhu Peng for the first time, and he never gives the opponent a chance to die by adding additional damage, unless Zhu Peng chooses to abandon the demon, this kind of very special situation.
The gray fangs and the stitching monster are inseparable, although Arthurs directly tore the opponent, but it is surrounded by a large number of miscellaneous soldiers, the steel dwarf Dark God who is fighting against the death knight, although he wields the hammer in his hand like the wind, but is suppressed by the opponent's heavy sword, regardless of strength, Skills and even swordsmanship, the dark god who has been cultivated by Zhu Peng for many years was actually suppressed by the other party on all fronts, but the dark god's fighting style is strong and tenacious, defeated but not collapsed, and it is entangled with the death knight, so that it can't get out at all to command the undead army that has gradually fallen into chaos.
On the contrary, Zhu Peng, who was wearing an anti-powerful exoskeleton armor, although the killing was violent, it was also bland, because he always deliberately bypassed those intermediate undead, pretending to be a humanoid melee demon to grind a little bit, and gradually pulled closer to the relative side of the necromancer.
What really made the whole battle turn for the better was the power of the Light Flame Pterodactyl and Jupiter Spirit Ike, the Light Flame Pterodactyl just appeared on the battlefield, and it was taken care of by the entire Necromantic Legion, because although the Necromantic Side Specialized God Eater was powerful and took advantage of all aspects, it was restrained by the light system to make the demon very fierce, so the Light Flame Pterodactyl, which was promoted to a legend and already had the light attribute, was taken care of from the beginning.
Layers of middle and lower necromancy make the demon firmly surround it, allowing the darkness to forcibly devour the light, and the restraint effect of the attribute is neutralized by numbers.
However, such a painstaking suppression tactic melted away almost as quickly as spring and white snow under the super return array of Jupiter Spirit, and the witchcraft light array that emerged in the void was directly shrouded in a large tide of necromancy, and the powerful vigorous vitality descended, and the demons that were originally in a state of declining with few enemies all recovered and became fierce again, and correspondingly, there were many necromantic demons as if they were soaked in concentrated sulfuric acid, and they were all extremely seriously damaged.
Large swaths of low-level skeletons are scattered, zombies are dissolved, they are no longer even controlled by the spells of the necromancer behind them, and they have to instinctively dodge everywhere, these are still low-level necromancers, those middle and high-level necromancers make the demons more fierce, and the gray fangs and steel sideburns are fighting, and the giant stitching monsters that fight without winning or losing, in the super ยท Under the light of the Resurrection Array, a large part of the body disintegrated, and this terrifying zombie beast also went to pick up the zombies on the ground and stuffed them into its body, trying to make up for the damage, but after swallowing it, it spit out more than swallowed, and everything in the range was filled with huge vitality.
To be honest, even Zhu Peng didn't expect that Jupiter Spirit's life force would restrain the necromantic to this point, and the effect was far higher than his expectations, and even surpassed the light's restraining effect on the necromancer in terms of continuity.
The necromantic knight who suppressed the Dark God's slashing, because of its strong and outstanding strength, performed relatively decently, a layer of thick black smoke burst out of its body, and after a large amount of dissipation and dissipation, it barely blocked the delivery of life power, but the necromantic knight also consumed a huge amount of strength, not only manifested in the obvious dullness of the battle with the Dark God, but even the aura that had been spreading under its feet dissipated, and the surrounding necromancers made the comprehensive attack power of the demon legion plummet.
"Whew!"
Accompanied by the exhilarating roar of the dragon, the Split Sky Seat Light Flame Pterodactyl, which had been surrounded and suppressed by many necromancers since the start of the war, flapped its wings and raised its head, and there was already a ball of light brewing in its mouth, and Jupiter Spirit's Super Return Array seemed to greatly accelerate the convergence speed of the Light Flame Pterodactyl's powerful gathering light, and even in the blazing light that should have been pure white, a faint golden circle was overflowing at this moment.
The bright heavy cannon was directly aimed at the necromancer and bombarded the past, it was like a frightening rainbow, instantly enveloping most of the necromancer's entire person, of course, this wizard's body was surrounded by a demon array, and all kinds of stress spells were activated, and it was hard to carry a cohesive blow of the same rank under the premise of restraint in this attribute
However, his body also slipped back rapidly, and at the same time, all kinds of dark and necromantic protective spells around him exploded, and when the light just ended, this necromancer breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to regroup, Zhu Peng, who had been hiding and lurking, suddenly charged and quickly staggered past him.
"Original...... It turns out that you are the God Eater who has been hiding in the shadows...... I was wrong. After saying this, the head of the person who was carried by Zhu Peng in his hand slowly closed his eyes. He has killed countless people in his life, raised ghosts and refined corpses, and now he is beheaded by Zhu Peng, but he is also fair, and he has no complaints.
If it is an ordinary spellcaster, unless it is an extremely high rank, it is difficult for ordinary legendary spellcasters to master this kind of fleeting fighter, Zhu Peng can be extremely keen and grasp it tightly, on the one hand, of course, the combat talent is outstanding enough, but more importantly, on the other hand, it is because he has always been on the front-line battlefield, and his ability to grasp the fighter is naturally more than the caster who often hides in the back.
If it is a battle between pure spellcasters, the necromancer who has been subjected to the "Strong Cluster Light" ultimate move of the Light Flame Pterodactyl has room to cast the spell again, and at that time it is still unknown who will win and who will lose, and who will kill the deer, at least the necromancer's chance of escape will be greatly increased.
"Whew. Exhaled a breath and casually threw away the human head, and with Zhu Peng's action, the headless corpse behind him that was spurting blood also slammed to the ground.
After the death of the necromancer, all his summoning demons turned into fragments of black and red light that spread in the sky in the wail, but there was still one different, the necromantic knight who had been extremely brilliant in the previous battle, turned into a card as a whole after diffusing a large number of light particles, Zhu Peng walked over and picked it up in his hand, only to see that it was a knight standing up on the battlefield of the Blood Sea of Corpse Mountain.
Just when Zhu Peng thought that it was over for the time being, a circle of bright light suddenly spread out on the body of Jupiter Spirit Ike not far away...... has been a nurse for many years, and suddenly being a core output seems to make Ike too excited, so he evolved directly.
........................
When the red-haired girl Catherine opened her eyes in a daze, it was already dark outside, and the man who had saved her was boiling a thick soup by the campfire, the aroma was overflowing, and Rhodes stirred it with a spoon, and from time to time served a bowl of swallowing and tasting, with a satisfied face.
There was an extra palm-sized elf on his shoulder, but the blonde was a rare male elf, and at this moment he looked at himself with his arms around and an arrogant face.
"We people, the purpose of our existence...... It's all food for you, right?" said Katrin, looking at the man busy around the campfire.
"Hmm!?Are you awake?You're really lucky, I thought you were going to die when you were close to the negative energy. After serving two bowls of soup, he turned to Katrin and handed him a bowl.
"Answer me. โ
"What?" Zhu Peng didn't hear what the other party had just said, and his mind was focused on the soup at that time.
"We people, the purpose of our existence...... It's all food for you, for your strength?"
"Well, it's not for me, it's for the strongest of the cups. In terms of circumstances, there is no essential difference between you and me, when I first met my mentor, I had no foundation at all, and I filled my mind with a lot of things every day during that time, which was really a miserable memory. Looking at Katrin, who looked lonely after listening to his answer, Zhu Peng shook his head and smiled.
"For the Mentor, is there a fundamental difference between you hunting the natives of this world, the ghouls hunting you, and me hunting the ghouls......? But I never felt that I was strong enough to be a guru. โ
"According to your logic, in this food chain that devours each other, the ghost-shaped man will always stand at the top, so aren't we all his food? I, as a person, have no interest in being other people's food, even if I was born just a pig, I will insist on tempering myself, one day, I will become a Jinpeng soaring above the nine heavens and feeding on all living beings in the world, and I will definitely stand at the top of the food chain. He muttered, as if he was telling some kind of reason.
In Katrin's world, the man in front of him at this moment seemed to have some kind of light radiating from the inside out, and he looked forward to his own pride, and his spirit was flying.
