Chapter 43: Failed to make Lord Jiang Chen happy

This coastal city, after experiencing the dark nights when monsters from the abyss were raging, has completely turned into a paradise for monsters.

Jiang Chen stood on a high point and looked from a distance.

Not only did most of the houses collapse into ruins, but one could vaguely distinguish a few kilometers away, where the collapsed houses formed a long crushing mark.

Obviously, the little BOSS-level monster that walked out of the abyss on the first night was far more than just the Corruption Matrix.

But more monsters did not pass through the shelter, but went deeper into the land.

"If you simply want to pass the trial, escaping from this coastal city as soon as disaster strikes should be the best choice."

"After all, the speed at which monsters can move is limited."

"Especially because they originally lived in the depths of the abyss. After coming to land, it is difficult to adapt to the environment immediately, and their speed is usually weakened."

"Even according to the map collected by the school, the world is composed of large and small islands, and my island is also a larger one."

"It would take at least four or five days for a monster to reach the deepest point."

"If the mecha master runs fast and reaches the deepest city on the island early..."

"Not only can you gain a lot of extra safety time, but the intensity of the monsters you eventually encounter will also be greatly reduced."

"The abyss monster that only appeared on the tenth day could not cross such a long distance and reach the depths of the island in an instant."

Jiang Chen made this inference based on the map and the movements of the monsters in the abyss, but he did not regret it at all.

You know, every time [Civilized Fire] persists for three days, the evaluation will increase.

The time limit for the promotion trial is only ten days in total.

This means that only by staying in the most dangerous coastal city and triggering the fire of civilization as soon as possible can you achieve the highest rating.

Escape to the depths of the island does reduce the difficulty, but it also lowers the evaluation.

"Zero and I work together. The boss of the abyss is just a bidder, so why should we avoid him?"

"Kill as many as you want!"

It seemed that he sensed Jiang Chen's thoughts.

The next night, a new monster broke through the sea and walked onto the land.

This monster continues the bizarre appearance of life in the deep sea. It looks like a huge sea anemone more than 20 meters high.

It is a soft-bodied creature, but it is wrapped in layers of thick carapace. Each of its extended slender tentacles has a worm-like mouthpart with sharp teeth.

It crushed the house, crushed the walls, and rushed straight to the shelter.

Facing such a powerful monster, Jiang Chen did not hold back as always, using his strongest strength and unleashing a fire attack.

However, the monster's weakness is not fire.

The extraordinary flames he fired from a distance only shattered a layer of carapace and were extinguished by the jet of water.

After Jiang Chen considered it, he regained his physical strength a little, took out the thermal lightsaber, and wanted to completely break open the sea anemone monster's shell and burst out a fire attack inside.

In the process, he showed his strong swordsmanship.

A lightsaber almost danced like a rain curtain, easily cutting off tentacles and approaching the body of the sea anemone monster.

however……

The size difference is really too big.

If the mecha Jiang Chen uses is the same size as the sea anemone monster.

Then, these tentacles will appear to be quite delicate, and one sword can cut off dozens or hundreds of them, break through the carapace easily, and kill them.

Now, he can only cut off one or two sea anemone tentacles with one sword.

No matter how powerful your skills are and how fast your movements are, it is still difficult to completely block all attacks from all directions.

From time to time, sea anemone tentacles would fall on the body and bite the mecha hard.

The Zero Mecha itself only has eight points of defense, making it relatively vulnerable when facing truly powerful abyss monsters.

After holding on for a moment, the armor value returned to zero and turned into a stream of light and shattered.

[Trigger talent: Undead unarmed, absorbed mecha: Zero Type 36. ]     【Attributes: Strength 35, Agility 39, Defense 0, Mystery . 】

[Special: Recover 0.62 life per second (double under sunlight), 0.14 physical energy. 】

[Ability: Out-of-control mutation, root core, blood demon transformation, son of fire. 】

"You have no idea what you released..."

When leading Zero to fight, Jiang Chen was still a little worried.

Now?

Ignoring the surrounding sea anemone tentacles, he rushed forward forcefully, chopped the sea anemone carapace to pieces, and killed seven people entering and seven exiting its body.

After the kill, he even came out with full health.

[Kill the alienated sea anemone and obtain the module: Beard of Distortion. 】

……

【Beard of Distortion】

[Level: zero (one)]

[Quality: Excellent (Excellent)]

[Type: Torso Module]

[Effect 3: For every 6 points of mystery, you will get one distorted tentacle (maximum ). 】

[Effect 30: The distorted tentacles cannot be controlled, have % of the power attribute of the mecha, and will automatically attack surrounding enemies. 】

[Description: We are slaves, He is the master. 】

Similar to the basic trial.

The drop rate of the upgrade trial is extremely high, especially for these powerful BOSS, which are almost guaranteed to produce the best modules, and each one is a walking treasure chest.

But when Jiang Chen saw the effect of the Distorted Beard, he frowned.

It's clearly a module with great potential.

In the excellent state of level 30, the mecha can obtain six tentacles with % power, and its combat effectiveness will rise sharply!
  If you follow the mecha to level up, both the upper limit of the number of tentacles and the strength it possesses will continue to be enhanced!
  however……

It is not controlled by the mecha and will only attack enemies automatically, which is a huge flaw.

Simply placed on the mecha, the strength is high enough and barely acceptable.

If it were to be absorbed into abilities, Jiang Chen would not be able to accept a few more uncontrollable tentacles on his body.

"And what will happen if I absorb this type of module that greatly changes the appearance of the mecha and adds new equipment?"

"For example, with spider-shaped arms, will my body also have two or even more arms?"

"Can the extra arm be retracted, or does it have to be there permanently?"

Jiang Chen was a little worried.

He can accept a certain degree of physical changes, like muscle expansion caused by out-of-control mutations...

But at least keep the human form, right?

To take a step back, it doesn’t matter when fighting, at least he should look like a human being at ordinary times, right?
  What if I go out onto the street and frighten the children?

"You can first absorb one or two permanent modules that have little change and test the effect."

Jiang Chen killed some more monsters and protected the shelter.

The second night also passed quickly.

After the sun rose, he had some free time and continued to call out Laila and the Tuxedo Gentleman to help him communicate with the machine spirit and exercise his extraordinary abilities.

The repaired Zero mecha was also summoned again.

When Laila touched it, she immediately felt strong emotions.

[Zero didn’t let Master Jiang Chen enjoy the battle, I’m so sorry! 】
