Devouring the Starry Sky begins with the battle of geniuses

Chapter 94 Devouring Evolution (Additional update)
"Old Man Ma said that he saw that boy just leaving the east gate 10 minutes ago."

"Brothers, let's go!"

"If we can win it for him tonight, everyone will be able to eat and drink like crazy in the next few months!"

Old man Huo led the team, and a dozen middle-aged and elderly people gathered together. Everyone was very excited.

Most of these old men have ninth-level star-level strength, and the leader, Old Man Huo, has cosmic-level life fluctuations.

"Boss Huo..."

When the crowd was excited, an inappropriate voice sounded.

It was a middle-aged man with a somewhat thin face, narrow cheeks, and a very wretched look.

He glanced at the dark outside of the city and winced a little: "It's night, we might encounter that kind of situation..."

Old Man Huo saw that everyone's mood suddenly dropped, and he frowned and said, "Hey, are you worried that the swallowing power of Da Kongong will increase sharply at night?"

The wretched middle-aged man lowered his head and said, "Yes..."

Old Man Huo waved his hand with a disdainful expression: "This kid has been running out every time he comes back. He hasn't had any trouble for such a long time. It's obvious that Big Hollow is in a low period recently. There has been no movement for two months in a row. We can't go out just now." Something unexpected happened during the first trip, right?"

The interruption of the wretched middle-aged man reminded everyone of the dangers of the night, as if they had just come out of a sauna and been poured a bucket of cold water on them.It is almost impossible to regain the excitement and excitement just now.

Old Man Huo's words only slightly weakened their timidity, but they could not eradicate it.

Old Man Huo, who originally wanted to let his "brothers" take the lead, stiffened. After all, he was reluctant to part with this windfall and took the lead.

"Okay, okay, today I will be at the forefront and I will be the scout. But remember, everyone, those who are the vanguard will get an extra [-]% of their original share. Don't say I didn't remind you later!"

The group of people looked around, and finally two people approached Old Man Huo.

With the boss with the strongest ability to survive taking the lead, the risk is naturally greatly reduced.

The others came back to their senses and wanted to move forward, but Old Man Huo glanced at them coldly. They could only beat their chests and feet, secretly regretting it.

A group of about ten people hurried out of the east gate.

Old Man Huo walked in the front, with a lantern on his waist and tinkering with a searchlight-like tool in his hand, his eyes gradually lighting up.

"Fortunately, that kid hasn't gone far yet! If we estimate, we can catch up with him in about 10 minutes if we go at full speed!"

When the two old men following Old Man Huo heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Two 10 minutes, you don’t have to go too far away from Black Rock City.

Security is greatly improved.

They secretly rejoiced in their foresight.

Just such a small risk can bring you [-]% more profit.

Under the signal from Old Man Huo's eyes, the two of them walked more than a hundred meters ahead very wisely.

This time he is the scout in the scout team.

The abyss of purgatory is already relatively dark, and it becomes even darker during this night, reaching an infiltrative level.

This darkness even affects their ability to use their mental power to explore outside. Only by relying on the light source on their bodies to expel the darkness can the scope of observation be greatly expanded.

But in this dark night, the limit is only one thousand meters, which is the distance between the scout team and the group behind.

More than ten people were walking on the dark night road in the wilderness. After just a few minutes, they felt a cold aura wrapping around them.

It is the loneliness and fear brought about by the silence far away from human society.

"Hiss... I haven't walked this way at night in how many years."

"Although I am greedy for the income of those scavengers, let alone stay in the wild for several days. I don't have the mental quality to do it."

"Oh, if it were me, why would I go crazy if I came here twice? If someone can earn so much, he really has his reasons."

"Hehe, but this time it's just for us."

In order to dispel their fear, several old men started chatting naturally.

Compared with the relaxed group at the back who could still chat, the three people in the scout team were obviously much more nervous and had no intention of chatting at all.

Whoosh whoosh.

"Who!?"

Hearing the strange noise, a member of the scout team quickly screamed.

"Quiet!"

Old Man Huo glanced at the person who made the cry coldly, and said coldly: "The most important thing in the wild is not to panic when encountering any situation! Don't just call out and attract the dirty things when nothing happens! Get there! When the time comes, I will kill this old boy first!"

"Yes Yes……"

The man was scolded by Old Man Huo and quickly shrank his head. It was obvious that Old Man Huo was quite powerful among all the old men.

"Boss Huo, I looked and there was nothing there, it was just blown by the wind."

The other person came back to report after running a little distance.

"well done."

Comparing the two teammates, Old Man Huo's eyes suddenly softened when he looked at this man.

Normally, there would be no wild animals in the wild on the first level of the abyss.

There are only very, very few situations where you can call yourself a jackpot, and you will encounter monsters that even city lord level characters cannot deal with.

Old Man Huo has always believed that his character, accumulated through good deeds and virtues, would prevent him from encountering such an unlucky situation.

The reason for setting up a team of scouts is mainly to warn against changes in the surrounding environment and other intelligent life that may be encountered.

In the abyss, except for the two major royal families, the other intelligent races are basically humanoid and human-like flesh and blood life. The most common appearance of humans in the universe is not uncommon here, which is one of the reasons why Hunzhen can smoothly integrate here.

Repeat for 10 minutes.

Old Man Huo's expression suddenly changed, revealing a look of surprise.

In the dark night, the faint light in front is simply not too eye-catching.

"Chase!"

He shouted in agreement, sent a signal to the large team behind, and immediately pursued them.

According to the original distribution plan they set up, the first person to discover and successfully capture/kill Hunzhen can get an additional [-]% share on the original basis!
The other two people looked at each other when they saw Old Man Huo's actions, and hurried forward.

Old Man Huo's speed suddenly exploded. The firefly in front was already within a kilometer range before he was noticed. In just ten seconds, the kilometer distance was reduced to more than [-] meters.

Old Man Huo could already clearly see Hunzhen's figure, as well as the panic look on the other person's face.

"Huh, how much strength do you think you have hidden? That's it?"

Old Man Huo swept away his thoughts and instantly judged that Hunzhen was only at the ninth level of the star level.

At the moment, he no longer had any scruples, a black light flashed, and the ferocious metal blade shot towards Hunzhen.

Hunzhen couldn't avoid it, and a dark red sword appeared in his hand. He struck back suddenly and knocked the blade away, but his flying speed dropped sharply.

"Innocent boy, I'm going to catch you without any effort. Since you and I were destined to hide under the same roof that day, I can spare your life!"

She didn't appreciate Old Man Huo's words to persuade him to surrender, and cursed loudly: "Old thief, why are you pretending to be a hero here? Should I stop and kick your head in for you? Do you think I'm stupid!?"

The sword and the blade kept colliding, and Old Man Huo couldn't directly take down the ninth-level star-level Hun Zhen with his third-level cosmic-level telekinesis.

The other two companions behind him had already caught up. Old Man Huo looked at Hunzhen, who was already in trouble, and frowned slightly: "This kid is only at the ninth level of the star level, but his actual combat ability is not bad. If he has the cosmic level, even if he only has one You can probably compete with me."

If it can be solved directly, Mr. Huo doesn't mind getting all the two weights of "discovery" and "killing" by himself, directly doubling his contribution and distribution share.But since he couldn't kill him quickly, he didn't want to fight Hun Zhen to save his life.

He immediately lowered his telekinesis output and only ensured that Hunzhen would not be allowed to increase his flying speed again.

Over there, Hun Zhen's expression suddenly changed when he saw Old Man Huo not giving out all his strength but holding back.

Old Man Huo sneered in his heart. The full output means leaving no room for anything. When the killing power is full, the defense is at its weakest. Although it can defeat the enemy the fastest, there is also the risk of being counterattacked.

But Old Man Huo suddenly started to act, but there was a stalemate, and no one could do anything.

After a while of fighting, the other two scouts had already caught up.

The three combined forces, and Hunzhen was completely at a disadvantage. The number of injuries on his body increased more and more, and he couldn't even use energy to defend himself, so he could only dodge hastily.

And the large army followed closely and surrounded them.

It was almost at stake.

hum--.

Invisible fluctuations suddenly enveloped everyone present.

Both Hun Zhen and the chasing old men were forced to stop their movements, as if they were frozen in mid-air, motionless.

But at this time, the additional sounds that were not caused by their fighting came naturally and clearly to their ears.

Old Man Huo seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.

The next second, the still picture began to flow again.

Whoosh—.

One of the men in the chasing team turned around and took off, not caring about Qingzhen's property, and was about to leave.

But when they heard a pop, everyone only saw a dark finger protruding from the darkness. After a black stream of light shot out from the fingertip, the man turned into flying ash and flew away.

Fear instantly enveloped everyone's hearts.

At this time, they looked towards the place where the sound came from tremblingly.

What came into view was a man with gray skin, dark armor, and no feathers or wings.

At this moment, he was grabbing the gray flesh wrapped in silver-white armor, putting it into his mouth one by one, chewing it slowly.

Judging from the shape of the flesh and blood, it was most likely an arm of a Silver Ghost clan member.

As the man's cheeks moved, the aura on his body became more profound and terrifying.

"You, you are—"

An old man who was under the same roof as Hun Zhen that day widened his eyes and exclaimed.

"Don't make any noise while eating."

Zagalad, a man from the Black Demon Clan, frowned and poked the air with his finger, and the old man immediately turned into ashes.

One person was lying on the ground with a horrified look on his face: "Sir, we have no intention of disturbing your meal——"

"I told you not to make any noise while I'm eating!"

A trace of violence flashed in Zagarad's eyes. He stretched out his hand and stretched his arm suddenly, like a whip, directly slapping the upper body of the prostrate man on the ground and the other four silent people around him into nothingness.

Hunzhen watched all this silently.

Not only was he observing Zagarad's eating process, but he was also paying attention to the changes in the expressions of the people who were chasing him.

He had speculated for a long time whether there was a special reason between the Silver Ghost Clan and the Black Demon Clan that gave them a natural urge to kill each other.

"Swallowing evolution" was his initial guess.

Now, this has basically been confirmed.

After the man from the Black Demon Clan got away from his two-month predecessor, the Silver Ghost Clan man, it seemed that he caught up with him again during the subsequent chase.

But he also suffered a lot of trauma.

Hunzhen could clearly detect the weak aura of Zagarad, which was strong on the outside and dry on the inside, as well as the faint smell of blood emanating from the back.

However, after he devoured the flesh and blood of the Silver Ghost man Nofelik, his injuries recovered at an extraordinary speed.

And the point doesn't end there.

Having turned into a corpse, he was naturally unable to stop the exploration of his mind. Hunzhen noticed that there was an energy that was infinitely larger than flesh and blood buried in Nofelik's body.

It was a silver, gem-like crystal core.

"Is this the 'Abyss Crystal Core' mentioned in the training mission?"

A trace of expectation flashed in his innocent eyes.

There is no doubt that Zagalad will be able to evolve to a certain extent after swallowing this silver abyss crystal core.

This is a sure thing.

But apparently, this main dish will be left to the end by Zagarad.

Hun Zhen's attention then drifted to the remaining middle-aged and elderly people who were chasing him.

Apparently just now, his companion was casually killed just for disturbing Zagalad's eating.

But all the members, including the leader, Old Man Huo, had no intention of resisting.

Different from the cold words recorded in the simulation, after actual observation, Hunzhen was confirmed, and this was not just because of the huge strength gap between the two sides.

"You are deeply servile. Even if the other party wants to kill you, don't you dare to have any dissatisfaction? In this case, let alone resistance, it is impossible to even talk back."

There is an ancient saying that if a king wants his ministers to die, they must die.

In the Purgatory Abyss, this situation is even deeper and more widespread.

Hunzhen recalled the scene two months ago.

The two royal families used the residence of the lower class as a battlefield, brutalizing them at will, causing casualties, and those who had just lost their companions could still joke with each other without any sadness or anger.

He originally thought that the people who died that day were strangers to Old Man Huo and the others, but he realized during a drinking session that these people were at least neighbors.

In terms of the simple values ​​​​of people on earth, if a neighbor who lives nearby and occasionally interacts with is tragically killed, everyone will not be angry, but will feel sad to a certain extent.

For those who can't bring it in, you can imagine that you have a neighbor's little sister. One day you come home from school and suddenly hear the news that she was killed by a perverted murderer... Normal people will have mood swings, right?

But for people like Old Man Huo, it seems that as long as it's not him who dies, there won't be much emotional change.

Yes, there is only one natural thing - we should be calm enough to be killed by them on a whim.

Or to put it another way - numbness.

Gollum, gollum.

Most of the flesh and blood had been devoured. Zagalad drank Noferik's blood, showing a look of pleasure, and then finally took out the abyss crystal core buried in this good opponent's body, showing a look of intoxication.

He looked at the silver-white crystal core with blurred eyes, but instead of absorbing it immediately, he put it away.

His eyes swept across the trembling people, and finally fell on Hun Zhen's face.

Looking at the calm face of Hun Zhen, Zagalad flashed a hint of appreciation in his eyes and nodded: "You are very good. Among so many people, you are the only one who can remain calm from beginning to end. Very good. Potential, do you want to be my servant?"

Suddenly, Old Man Huo and others looked at Hun Zhen with crazy jealousy in their eyes.
