11.8 per cent for option I, 82.3 per cent for option two and 5.9 per cent for option III.

……

[Option 2]

【Condensation】

Specifically: temperature increase + speed increase

……

Blazing flames set fire to the mantis man's lair. The fire rushed down the silver-blue cloth into the distance in an instant.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the [interface] in front of him unhurriedly.

"Okay."

The number of votes for [Condensation] has been rising. It seems that the decision is to be it.

I wonder if after [Chaos] is fused, can I increase the color of the flame in one go? The speed is also ......

Just when Zheng Zhuo was thinking.

In the firelight.

Cha!

A dark shadow pounced towards Zheng Zhuo.

"What ——!"

Zheng Zhuo was set off by a heat wave that blew out several meters. The black shadow attacked and pounced on Zheng Zhuo.

"Whoa—"

It's the mantis man whose head fell off just now! It is it that turns back in the flames.

When, when two sounds.

The mantis man's two sharp front claws plunged into the ground and pinned into Zheng Zhuo's flames.

"What's going on? Come back and send points? ”

The praying mantis man can't hurt himself. Zheng Zhuo focused his attention on the mantis man's claws.

Rise.

Flames rose into the air, burning along the mantis man's claws.

Look.

"Just the points delivered to the door......"

That's when it happened.

The headless mantis man on Zheng Zhuo's body suddenly trembled.

Suddenly.

"Goo."

From the section of the mantis man's neck, a large amount of black water spewed out.

“！？”

Black water was poured on Zheng Zhuo's flames. White smoke came out with the sound of "Boom".

Zheng Zhuo kept evaporating the black water at high temperatures. However, the terrifying thing is that the black water is faintly about to erode into Zheng Zhuo's body.

"Oops!"

Zheng Zhuo was shocked.

He didn't dare to slack off any longer.

"Evolve!"

The fire on the body parts that came into contact with the mantis man began to burn more violently. The orange part of the golden orange flame is also burned and replaced with a brighter, more dazzling yellow.

Eventually, the ground overwhelmed Blackwater's momentum.

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Race: Chaos Shadow Fire (Golden)]

[Ability: Identification, Evolution]

[Evolved: Speed+, Ignite, Venom, Dexterity, Territorial Awareness]

[Points: 0]

[Optional Evolution: None]

……

Golden flames enveloped the mantis man's body, burning through it.

“…… What's going on...... It's dangerous. ”

Zheng Zhuo swallowed the 150 points offered by the mantis man and retreated vigilantly towards the burning lair.

In all directions, behind the burning lair, the mantis man and some other strangely shaped alien monsters poked their heads out of the shadows.

They don't seem to be afraid of fire at all. It's better to say......

…… They were still staring at Zheng Zhuo.

“…… Am I being targeted? The house is burned down, are these guys crazy? ”

Zheng Zhuo saw the mantis man closest to him open his mouth. In its mouth, a long, black thread of liquid protruded.

"Probably that line is the body."

Is it a parasitic monster? Or is the human consciousness retained in that black liquid?

Just like yourself......

Cha! Cha!

Two wind sounds.

The flames swayed. The two praying mantises, one left and one right, jumped towards Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo immediately took off on the hot air brought by the ignited lair.

After selecting [Condensation], his speed increased significantly. Now, it's not just take-off and landing that are getting faster. Its own ground speed and flight speed have also increased.

Zheng Zhuo rose to a considerable height in an instant. He crossed the abandoned house.

However.

Mantis people have significantly better intelligence than beasts such as marmots and antelopes, and their reaction speed is also faster than that of mountain giants.

"Shhh

A praying mantis man jumped high and also jumped to the top of the abandoned house. In the firelight, it opened its mouth. Black lines of water erupted from its mouth and stabbed at Zheng Zhuo in the air.

"Uh——!"

Zheng Zhuo made an emergency turn. [Dexterity] triggered. The waterline grazed his back and flew into the air.

Rustle, rustle.

Zheng Zhuo looked at it.

Between the ruins, more and more monsters jumped onto the rooftops. Some of them opened their mouths wide - others just pulled their heads off -

They spew black water from their bodies. The black water that spews out of the bodies of some monsters is even sticky and can change direction.

Zheng Zhuo had to flicker and move in the air.

"Bad ——!"

He was not paying attention, and part of the flame was stuck to a part of the flame by the black water spewed out by the alien humans on the ground who looked like giant ants.

"[Ignite]!"

Zheng Zhuo burned them. But more alien humans began to try to capture him.

The sparks that overflowed from his body began to be ripped off by the scraped waterline.

"Can you eat fire!? These monsters! ”

Zheng Zhuo shouted in his heart, completely ignoring that he was also one of the monsters that could eat flames.

He had no choice but to fly as high as he could.

But he still struggled to get out of range of the aliens below. The nest he lit began to become a striking symbol. More and more aliens are coming over because of phototaxis. They were stacked on top of each other, their claws trampling on their heads and faces, getting taller and taller, getting closer and closer to Zheng Zhuo.

Soon, Zheng Zhuo began to fall into danger.

"Not good, not good......"

Gotta get out of here!

Zheng Zhuo looked around.

The fire burned and spread to the surrounding area.

That's when it happened.

Knock, knock.

There was a shaking sound on the ground.

Knock, knock.

Followed by.

"Boom-"

Bells ringing over the city.

The sound of beams breaking, the sound of stone bricks collapsing and the sound of the ground cracking.

The streets are uplifted. Some of the houses began to fall to the side.

Zheng Zhuo saw that a low bell tower slowly rose from the ground diagonally below him. It pushed away all the surrounding buildings and stood up from the ground.

It was a giant with a hunched back and a huge bell tower on his back.

……

【Identification:】

【Bell Tower Giant】

……

Zheng Zhuo watched as it stood up from the earth, its huge body blocking the sky.

It was Zheng Zhuo at the foot of the mountain, and Chu Huairen reminded him of the huge buildings that were moving in the city!

Now, the Clock Tower Giant shakes off the spreading fire and starts moving again to avoid the fire.

Its huge body passed by Zheng Zhuo's side.

"Chance!"

Zheng Zhuo withstood the strong wind brought by its movement and flew upward. He stuck to the bottom of the bell tower and scurried between them.

Whoosh a few times. The ensuing black water hit the pillars on the outside of the bell tower.

"Excellent."

Zheng Zhuogang was chased by the alien creatures. The appearance of the giant of the bell tower provided him with a perfect shelter.

But......

Zheng Zhuo looked down.

The Giant of the Bell Tower shook and walked into the distance. It wasn't moving very fast, and many aliens jumped on his feet and hands, crawling towards his back.

“…… Do I look so delicious? ”

The monsters don't give up easily.

Zheng Zhuo looked into the distance from this commanding height. Far to the northeast, he saw two buildings with white spires.

It was Chu Huairen who told him the direction.

And it's still a long way from those two buildings.

Zheng Zhuo raised his head again.

“……！”

He found that this was no ordinary bell tower. At the top of the bell tower, the large bell that shook and sounded was covered with golden lines.

……

【The Core of the Bell Tower Giant】

……

The core of a giant is on the surface of the body.

“……”

The monsters are climbing up from the body of the giant of the bell tower.

Now, Zheng Zhuo has two options.

The first option is to use the bell tower as a cover to hold on, eating the monsters while fighting the monsters until the bell tower giant reaches the vicinity of the two white spire buildings.

Theoretically, it can be done. However, it takes a long time to persevere, and it is a big test of concentration.

The second option is to eat the [Core of the Bell Tower Giant] and fly away on its own after evolving, or use new powers to fight your way out of the encirclement.

But this plan must be a gamble on whether the [Bell Tower Giant's Core] can evolve enough abilities to change the status quo.

So......

……

【Question】

Which option should I choose? 】

[Option 1]

[Use the Bell Tower Giant as a mobile cover]

[Option 2]

【Eat the core of the Bell Tower Giant】
