From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 96: Hunting the Corpse Bird, Walking on Water
A scarlet shadow suddenly appeared. It had a sheep's head and a human body, covered with scarlet armor. The hair on its head looked like it was made of blood, and each strand was clearly visible.

In his claws, he held a scarlet sword and stood on the sea, refusing to sink.

This scarlet demon cut off the wolf pack's armed ship with one strike.

The armed speedboat was 36 meters long and 7 meters wide.

The keel of such a big ship was broken with just one sword. It shows how terrifying this scarlet demon is.

After the hull broke, seawater poured into the cabin, the deck tilted, and there were signs of sinking.

However, this armed speedboat has watertight compartments, so as long as it is not attacked further, it can survive for several hours even if it is about to sink.

Black Wolf originally wanted to rescue the keel of the ship, but it broke too quickly and could not hold on.

He shouted, "Don't panic! Take out your weapons and kill the enemy first! Help will be here soon!"

Everyone on the boat is a person with special abilities. Even if the boat sinks, they can just float on the sea wearing life jackets and hold on until rescue arrives.

So, after Black Wolf shouted like that, his men calmed down and started firing their guns at the scarlet demon on the sea.

Da da da……

The scarlet demon raised his hand and opened a shield, blocking all the bullets with a clang.

When Black Wolf saw this scene, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

With the speed at which this thing just appeared, there was no way the bazooka could hit it.

He knew that the opponent he met this time was very formidable, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

After blocking the bullet, the scarlet demon rushed forward, climbed onto the front half of the deck of the armed speedboat, and killed the mutant carrying a gun with one sword.

When the surrounding psychics saw this, they screamed in fear and turned around to run away.

Black Wolf knew that they were in trouble this time. If they couldn't withstand this thing's attack, the whole team would die here.

He yelled, pulling out a large knife and charging at the scarlet demon.

Bang!

The swords collided twice, and the scarlet demon kicked out and kicked the black wolf away.

Black Wolf was thrown out and hit the bulkhead. The kick in the abdomen almost kicked his stomach out.

He clearly felt that he was no match for this thing, and a look of fear appeared on his face. He remembered the cooperation proposal made by Lu Heng before, so he shouted: "Quick! Ask Lin Zeyu and the others for help, quick!"

On the brink of life and death, face is no longer important.

Before, he arrogantly provoked Lin Zeyu because he was confident that he could deal with any opponent.

Now, he couldn't stand this scarlet demon at all, and the first thing he thought of was Lu Heng's cooperation proposal.

He didn't think that Lu Heng and his men could deal with this scarlet demon, but if they could delay it, he would have a chance to escape with his men.

……

Five kilometers away, the Huanyu was floating on the sea.

Su Muyu reported the situation on the battlefield in real time: "A demon with a goat's head and a human body appeared, and his body was as red as blood. This demon was very strong. With one sword, he cut off the keel of the wolf pack's ship. The ship was about to sink."

Lin Zeyu was also observing the battlefield with a telescope, and he also saw that the wolf pack's ship was sunk.

When he saw the hull crack, he felt a little happy, but soon he became worried that his yacht could not withstand the sword of the devil.

Lu Heng took the telescope and took a look at the battlefield. The information was the same as what he remembered.

The corpse bird did not appear alone.

Whenever the Corpse Bird is injured, a scarlet demon will appear.

This scarlet demon with a goat's head and a human body is the Blood Sword Demon.

The Swordsman's source essence is what he carries with him, and the sword he just used to cut off the keel of the armed speedboat is the Swordsman's source essence ability [Rip Slash].

At this moment.

Wang Xiangfeng ran up from the cabin and said, "The wolf pack has sent out a distress signal, and in the distress broadcast, they specifically asked us to come over to rescue them."

"What the hell! A boat that was more than 30 meters long was cut in half with just one sword. Is this something a human can handle?" Lin Zeyu felt that there was no way to deal with this thing and had already considered retreating.

However, he still asked Lu Heng: "Should we go to rescue him?"

"It's too late to save him. If they had agreed to cooperate at the beginning, we could have discussed tactics. Now that it's like this, there's no need to rescue him." Lu Heng shook his head.

People are responsible for their own choices.

Ten minutes ago, Black Wolf made the decision to snatch the corpse bird, which led to this outcome.

"Then what should we do? Should we withdraw?" Lin Zeyu asked hurriedly.

"Start the boat and chase the corpse bird. Let's kill the corpse bird first." Lu Heng gave the order in a calm tone.

Because the wolf pack's armed ship was cut off by a sword, the psychics on the Huanyu were all filled with fear.

However, Lu Heng has already given the order and it must be executed.

The Huanyu went at full speed and chased in the direction of the corpse bird.

The corpse bird fled back to the whale shark's body and began to devour its flesh and blood to recover from its injuries.

Moreover, the corpse bird recovered very quickly. Some small wounds had closed, and only a few large wounds were still clearly visible.

When Huanyu rushed to within 1000 meters, Lu Heng shouted, "Add healing reduction to the bullets and shoot to prevent them from recovering."

Wang Xiangfeng quickly used the enhanced [Weapon Empowerment·Healing Reduction] skill to empower Lin Zeyu's sniper bullets.

For weapon empowerment skills, when empowering a firearm, you need to empower the bullets, not the firearm.

Lin Zeyu aimed at the corpse bird and fired a shot.

boom!
The bullet penetrated the exoskeleton of the skeleton bird and penetrated into its flesh, causing the healing reduction to take effect, instantly halting the skeleton bird's recovery. The speed at which its wounds healed slowed down significantly, almost stopping.

Two heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, da da da.

1000 meters is the maximum range of a heavy machine gun. It is very difficult to hit the target at this distance.

However, the corpse bird is 30 meters long and can be hit with a random sweep.

Hey!
The corpse bird was attacked again and let out a shrill scream.

The attack on the Corpse Bird must be done quickly, otherwise the Blood Sword Demon will come to rescue.

So, Lu Heng immediately shouted: “High explosive bomb, quick!”

The crew member in charge of ammunition coordination had already arranged the high-explosive bombs. Lu Heng turned his head to look at Su Muyu and said, "Go."

Su Muyu nodded, controlled the reconnaissance eagle to enter stealth mode, grabbed a bunch of high-explosive bombs, and flew towards the corpse bird.

When the Scout Eagle is in stealth mode, use the skill [Aerodynamic Acceleration] to increase its speed by 50%, then increase its altitude and dive towards the Corpse Bird.

The speed at the end of the dive soared to 380 kilometers per hour, and it plunged into the wound of the corpse bird.

Su Muyu quickly clenched his fist and changed the energy properties of the scout eagle, turning the scout eagle's energy into the energy of the elemental arrow.

The flaming arrows flew around in the body of the corpse bird, detonating the high-explosive bomb.

boom! boom! boom……

A series of explosions burst out from the body of the skeleton bird, blasting through its body and creating several three-meter-long holes.

"One more shot." Lu Heng said.

Su Muyu released the second reconnaissance eagle, grabbed the second bundle of high-explosive bombs, and rushed towards the corpse bird.

boom! boom! boom……

The second round of explosions directly blew the corpse apart, almost breaking it.

Lu Heng leaped into the sea, started the Wind Step, sprinted forward on the water, and actually ran on the water.

When everyone on the boat saw that Lu Heng could actually walk on the waves, they all showed expressions of astonishment on their faces.

"How... did he... do that?" Lin Zeyu's face was full of disbelief.

Su Muyu was also surprised at first, but soon remembered an article he had read before and immediately understood what was going on.

“In nature, there are animals that can run on water, such as the basilisk lizard.

“I saw an article before, in which a scientist calculated using a model of a basilisk lizard running on the water.

"If an adult wants to run on the water, he needs to sprint on the water at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour to avoid falling into the water.

"His speed has reached the required level. Combined with his skill of stomping on the water, he can indeed run on the water."

This article does exist.

However, the speed requirement of 110 kilometers per hour is only the minimum requirement.

If humans want to run steadily on the water, in addition to speed, they also need certain running skills.

In nature, when basilisk lizards run on the water, they slap the water surface with their feet to provide upward force, thereby gaining the lifting force to prevent them from falling into the water.

If humans want to run on the water, they also need to use the strength of their legs to step on the water surface and gain lift.

Therefore, to really run on the water, you also need the skill of continuously striking the water.

Lu Heng had learned this skill in his previous life.

Lu Heng’s current level is 20, and his attributes have reached strength 40, agility 50, and constitution 40.

After activating the Wind Step, the running speed can reach 70 meters per second, which is equivalent to 252 kilometers per hour, which is comparable to the speed of a racing car sprinting in a straight line.

With such a fast speed and skilled wave-walking skills, it is entirely possible to run on the water.

Lu Heng walked on the waves, rushed towards the corpse bird, leaped forward, and slashed the corpse bird's neck with a sword, cutting off its head.

[Kill the Corpse Bird and absorb 500 points of demonic energy. ]

[Energy level increased to level 21, all attributes +3, agility attribute additional +0.9]

When the level is above 20, more attributes are obtained with each upgrade, from +2 to +3 for all attributes. The talent [Agile as a Dragon] also increases the agility attribute by 0.9 with each upgrade, which means almost 1 point of agility per level.

This talent becomes stronger in the later stages because of this reason.

After the death of the Corpse Bird, three crystal cores were extracted, one of which was the skill crystal core [Exoskeleton Armor], and the other two were [High-level Energy Crystal Cores].

Seeing that it was a [High-level Energy Crystal Core], Lu Heng's eyes lit up.

The probability of this kind of high-level crystal core appearing is very low, and only high-level demons have a chance of precipitating it.

I didn't expect this corpse bird to produce two at once.

Lu Heng directly crushed one of the [High-level Energy Crystal Cores] and absorbed the energy in it.

【Absorb "high-level energy crystal core" to strengthen the source energy level. 】

[Energy level increased to level 22, all attributes +3, agility attribute additional +0.9]

After rising two levels in a row, the energy tide in Lu Heng's body surged, and this violent energy was like a volcano, wanting to erupt.

陆恒飞快看一眼属性，五维属性已经提升到了：力量46敏捷58、体质46、精神47、感知46。

The combat power has been raised to a higher level.

Originally, Lu Heng was worried that it might be a bit difficult to face the Blood Sword Demon, but now that his combat power has increased, he is more confident.
