Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 87 Luo Feng's Extraordinary Encounter

On February 21, 2057, Hong and Thor simultaneously announced to the outside world that the Limit Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School would join the United Government of China.

This single act caused a huge stir, shaking all major powers around the world.

Amidst global monster uprisings and frequent invasions by ocean monsters, the Ultimate Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School surprisingly joined the rising power of China!

This shattered many people's hopes almost instantly.

Originally, the other major powers were able to barely resist the invasion of the beast tide with the support of the two major organizations, the Limit Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School, but if they lost this support, the problem would be much bigger.

At this moment, two royal-level monsters invade the ocean. Besides Hong and Thor, who can help them resist them?

Although the extent of the sea monster invasion at this time was far less than the terrifying scene of thousands of king-level monsters setting sail at the same time in the original timeline.

Of course, this is also because although the two Emperor-level monsters are called Emperor-level, they are actually only Planetary Level 6 monsters, and their ability to dominate other monsters is far inferior to that of the later Constant Level Golden Horned Beast.

That's not the key point; the key point is Hong and Thor's attitude!

This is what makes the other major powers most desperate.

With China's current strength, after uniting with the Ultimate Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School, even if all other forces on Earth were to unite, they would still be far from being able to contend with the United Government of China.

On February 25th, under Thor's leadership, a bloody purge began in major base cities.

The following day, China announced its support, with Jia Yi leading tens of thousands of warriors, along with hundreds of millions of ordinary monsters and a full twelve king-level monsters, to assist the neighboring country in defending against the beast tide attack.

In early March, India announced its accession to the coalition government.

Following closely behind were bases in Africa and South America, which were unable to sustain themselves and requested assistance.

Against this backdrop, many martial artists in China received missions from the military to carry out tasks in various base cities abroad.

Meanwhile, Luo Feng's Fire Hammer squad also received a mission.

The difference is that they are not going to support a base city, but to carry out a mission on a mysterious island in the Australian continent.

"Luo Feng! Let's go, let's go on a mission!"

Holding an S-class warhammer, Gao Feng shouted loudly. They were currently on a huge flying monster docking platform in a war base city in Jiangnan Base City.

A large number of flying monsters are parked here.

Among these flying monsters, the majority were beast soldier-level and beast general-level flying monsters, but there were also a few lord-level flying monsters.

Each squad of martial artists leaps onto their own flying monster, either to hunt monsters in the wilderness or to carry out special missions for the military.

Upon hearing the captain's call, Luo Feng and the others hurriedly walked towards the vicinity of the Black-crowned Golden Eagle, a low-level lord-class monster with a wingspan of nearly thirty meters.

That's right, this low-level lord-class black-crowned golden eagle is the mount of the Firehammer Squad.

After consuming the Spirit of Herbs and Trees, Luo Feng's martial arts strength skyrocketed to the level of a mid-level War God, and his mental power even reached the peak of a high-level War God!

It's like rising to the top in one step!

With Luo Feng's help, Gao Feng, the captain of the Fire Hammer Squad, also obtained a Spirit of Grass and Wood, and his strength reached the level of a mid-level War God.

Having experienced the flames of war, the bond between the members of the Fire Hammer Squad has deepened, and they even harbor ambitions to become all-powerful warriors.

It was precisely because the Firehammer Squad was now extremely powerful that Gao Feng was fortunate enough to receive a highly meritorious mission: to enter the Australian continent to protect an important military base.

Before the Great Nirvana, the Australian continent was known for its diverse and abundant animal species.

After the Great Nirvana, the number of monsters became terrifyingly large, with numerous herds of beasts and lord-level monsters.

In the past, the Firehammer Squad would definitely not have wanted to go to a place like this.

But the situation is different now. The number of monsters in the country, especially the lord-level monsters, has been greatly reduced due to the hunting efforts of many warriors and insect swarms, making it difficult to accumulate military merits quickly.

Most of the powerful martial arts squads are thinking about going abroad to explore new lands and earn military merits.

Going on a mission to a war base on the Australian continent at this time would be a dream job!

The balance of power between humans and monsters has long since shifted from offense to defense.

"Let's go! Let's set off!"

Luo Feng and his companions, full of high spirits and excitement, leaped onto the back of the black-crowned golden eagle.

With its broad body, the Black-crowned Golden Eagle could easily accommodate the Firehammer Squad.

After the group steadied themselves, the black-crowned golden eagle spread its wings and flew into the sky.

Along the way, the group talked loudly about their future plans, making it seem more like a picnic than a mission.

Indeed, with Luo Feng's current strength, as long as he is not surrounded by king-level monsters, he is unlikely to encounter any danger.

Even if they encounter danger, they can easily overcome the difficulties by hiding in the military's war base or by using their military merits to request support from the military's king-level monsters.

"The Black-crowned Golden Eagle is indeed fast; it's reached the Australian continent so quickly."

Looking at the numerous rat-like monsters at his feet, Gao Feng sighed.

For the past few days, he felt like he was dreaming. He never dared to imagine that he would one day become a powerful war god!

You can even have a lord-level flying monster as a mount!

"Hey, I don't know where the military got so many plant spirits, they can exchange them in large quantities."

Chen Gu also praised him. At this time, Chen Gu had changed his main weapon to a long sword. Originally, with his talent, he could only reach the level of a warrior general at most, but now he also had ambitions and wanted to go further.

"I think it's most likely the work of that Chief Qin Mu. If monsters can be cultivated, why can't spirits of plants and trees?"

Zhang Ke laughed.

"That's right, I think so too. This Chief Qin Mu is too strong. He actually controlled dozens of king-level monsters all by himself."

At the beginning of the war, I was worried that we'd be used as cannon fodder, but unexpectedly, it turned into a welfare operation!

As everyone was talking and chatting, a large number of flying monsters flew in from the distant sky, but when they discovered that a lord-level monster had appeared in front of them, they all fled.

Ordinary monsters dare not provoke lord-level monsters.

Seeing this, the Firehammer Squad burst into laughter.

"We're almost there."

According to information provided by the military, after the Black-crowned Golden Eagle passed through a mountain range of monkeys, a huge lake covering a radius of hundreds of miles appeared in front of Luo Feng and his companions.

"Let's go down. The information shows that the small island in the lake is our destination."

As the group approached, they discovered that there was indeed a war base there. Although the base was not large, it had more than twenty laser cannons and was even guarded by a military snake-king-level monster.

"Where is this place? Why are there so many laser cannons, and even a King-level monster guarding it?"

With a hint of doubt, the Firehammer Squad entered the war base on the island.

As they became more familiar with the island's terrain and the surrounding area, they would occasionally go hunting while guarding the war base.

The sheer number of monsters on the Australian continent did not disappoint them; they easily hunted down a large number of lord-level monsters.

Half a month later, after completing his patrol on the island, Luo Feng entered the lake to hunt monsters.

Luo Feng was both highly skilled and daring; how could an ordinary war god dare to enter the lake to hunt monsters?

After staying on the island for half a month, Luo Feng also heard about the island's stories. It turned out that Qin Mu had once discovered hundreds of plant spirits here.

He even fought against Hong, the world's strongest fighter, here once, and was slightly better than him.

This led Luo Feng and the others to search the island more than once, hoping to find one or two overlooked plant spirits.

Of course, they gained nothing.

However, for some reason, Luo Feng always wanted to go into the lake to hunt monsters. Although he felt it was somewhat dangerous, this time, Luo Feng followed his heart and entered the lake.

As a result, not long after Luo Feng entered the lake, he noticed a faint aroma of rice wafting into his nose.

What does rice taste like?

Luo Feng's spirits lifted: "A treasure! It could very well be a treasure!"

There are treasures on this island; almost everyone who has been there believes so.

How could so many plant spirits grow on an ordinary island?

This is why there is a military base on the island!

However, no one has ever discovered what treasures are on this island. Research has revealed that the various plants on the island have exceptionally strong vitality.

According to intelligence gathered by Huaxia, this lake is very deep, with an average depth of 300 meters and a maximum depth of nearly 1000 meters.

This is just the lake itself. In reality, there are various passages connecting the lake to the underground. Many lord-level monsters burrow underground, and there are various underground rivers beneath the lake. Many lord-level monsters leave or enter this lake through these underground rivers.

This is why so many monsters can live in this lake.

"The flavor comes from the bottom of the lake."

Luo Feng quickly descended.

Luo Feng used his telekinetic power to sweep across the area, probing the surrounding monsters, while simultaneously plunging into a passage at the bottom of the lake.

In the lake, hundreds of meters away in a dark passage, a white, translucent crystal floats in mid-air.

The originally dark underground passage was now illuminated by a faint light.

This white, transparent crystal not only emits light, but also has a strong aroma of rice, making one's mouth water.

"The aroma is emanating from these white, transparent crystals."

When Luo Feng arrived at the underground passage, a large number of monsters had already gathered there. These monsters stared at the white transparent crystal from afar, their expressions a mixture of impulsiveness and fear.

"It's a treasure!"

Luo Feng's heart stirred, but before he could get close, he was already moved.

Unable to contain its desire, a fish-like monster near the white, transparent crystal lunged out and swallowed it whole.

"Hiss~~"

Almost instantly, the fish monster emitted rays of white light from its entire body. Before it could even react, the fish monster exploded with a "boom!"

"It truly is a treasure, but I don't know how to use it!"

Several throwing knives surrounded Luo Feng, slicing through the monster horde and easily killing all of them.

Pack the white crystals that smelled of rice into a backpack.

Although he didn't know what the white crystal was, Luo Feng knew it must be a treasure. After he got out, he would look it up. If he didn't need it himself, selling it to the military in exchange for merit points would be a good option.

Instead of leaving immediately, Luo Feng made no announcement and continued his search alone in the passage.

Unbeknownst to him, a seemingly ordinary fish-like monster in the lake watched him collect the white crystal and venture deeper into the underground passage.

In the passage, there was a white crystal at almost every interval, like a pre-arranged path, constantly leading Luo Feng downwards.

A series of peculiar ripples, imperceptible to the naked eye, subtly changed, emerging from the depths of the earth in an almost straight line, passing through numerous rock layers and penetrating into the depths of Luo Feng's sea of ​​consciousness.

Luo Feng seemed unaware that his actions were inappropriate, and continued to delve deeper underground, even stepping on a pure blood-red fragment during the process.

The blood-red fragment actually cut through Luo Feng's S-grade alloy combat boots, causing blood to flow out.

This discovery filled Luo Feng with elation, as he knew it was an extraordinary treasure.

Luo Feng was even more excited after obtaining the treasure and continued to explore downwards.

At a depth of 15,000 meters underground, he encountered a dusty, half-open hatch.
