Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 27 Flame Beast Crystal

"Hey, hey, hey, where are you going?"

Hunzhen suddenly reached out and grabbed Yamu, who was about to head to the battlefield.

"?"

Yamu opened his mouth: "But boss, didn't you just say...?"

Hunzhen blinked: "But didn't I promise to let you come with me? I'm still standing here, why are you running away?"

Yamu's face flushed red; he didn't know whether to leave or stay, and stammered, "Well, um... I just feel like something's not quite right?"

Hunzhen patted Yamu on the shoulder and laughed, "Haha, just kidding! You were the first person to support me and come to me, how can I not give you some preferential treatment?"

"Alright, one more of you won't make a difference over there, and one less won't either. Come with me and see what kind of guys these are."

"Well... okay then."

Yamu had no choice but to agree.

Hunzhen silently analyzed the long-haired giant elephant fighting with the humans of the celestial sphere.

This woolly giant elephant is nearly the size of a ten-story building.

Large monsters like these usually have a higher life gene multiplier and a more abundant energy reserve than small creatures, but their efficiency in comprehending laws is much lower than that of small creatures that are less than one percent the size of them.

This woolly giant elephant is at the eighth level of the Hengxing level. With a life gene multiplier of more than twice that of humans and a body size dozens of times larger than humans, it is capable of fighting against multiple weak ninth-level Hengxing humans.

The human side consisted of 52 people, excluding two spectators. Since they were mercenaries who used detectors to capture the life fluctuations of the Hengxing level, their strength varied widely, ranging from Hengxing level one to Hengxing level nine.

Of course, those that are too weak or too strong are in the minority; the main force is still those above the fifth rank but below the eighth rank.

If the battle between the two sides were merely a numerical contest of combat strength, the human side would have a clear advantage and could defeat them with relatively few casualties.

However, the newly formed alliance members naturally lacked any tacit understanding, and there was no coordination whatsoever when they attacked together. Sometimes, friendly fire would even occur.

But at least it's still in a stalemate where the two sides are evenly matched.

Some were wounded and forced to retreat after being struck by the woolly mammoth's tusks and trunk, while long, narrow wounds appeared on the mammoth's body, where crimson energy surged. Beneath the fur was not pure flesh and blood, but an intermediate state where energy and flesh and blood were combined.

But then a roar came from the giant beast.

Suddenly, huge flame patterns appeared on its body, and the red snowflakes in the sky were swept up and sucked in like a storm, as if they were attracted.

The snowflakes that filled the surroundings suddenly disappeared.

Subsequently, the giant elephant's wounds healed at an extremely rapid pace.

"How is that possible?"

"Could it be immortal in this place?!"

The enemy, who had been wounded with great difficulty, recovered completely in a short time.

This unexpected turn of events caused many people to scream in terror and involuntarily shrink back.

"Of course he can't be immortal, he's not an immortal being."

Just then, Hunzhen finally appeared at the forefront of the alliance.

The panicked hearts suddenly calmed down at that moment.

Although the figure who would kill at the slightest provocation was frightening, he also seemed incredibly reliable when he stood in front of them.

Hunzhen knew he had no choice but to step forward, otherwise the little bit of cohesion he had just gathered would instantly dissipate.

The fact that he didn't make a move earlier or later, but instead made a move at this particular time, was clearly a deliberate act by Hunzhen.

The irritable young man established his authority by killing a powerful expert of his own race.

However, this majesty was neither inviolable nor could it be transformed into authority.

Because everyone present knew he was very powerful, but they didn't have a clear idea of ​​exactly how powerful he was.

After all, although many people know that powerful individuals at the Hengxing level who possess a domain are almost invincible among their peers, they don't know how much stronger they are. Are they invincible one-on-one, or can they take on ten or a hundred opponents?

When he single-handedly defeated the powerful monster that so many of them had failed to subdue, there was no longer any controversy about that.

The "protective" measures can transform an inviolable authority into trust.

"Step back."

At his command, Hunzhen drew a dark red longsword and rapidly approached the giant elephant.

To establish his authority and make these guys understand the difference in strength between him and them, he naturally needed to kill them in the most shocking way.

tumultuous--.

His direction was contrary to the direction in which everyone was retreating. He took a step and covered dozens of meters, completely creating a safe distance, and then Hunzhen instantly deployed his domain.

The latest novel is first published here!

This time, the red snow in the air was controlled by Hunzhen, and flames blazed on the dark red longsword, instantly transforming it into a large sword tens of meters long.

"This power..."

Hunzhen glanced at the broadsword in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

His understanding of the Law of Fire was far less than that of the Law of Wind, but at this moment, with the blessing of the red snow falling everywhere, he was infinitely close to unleashing his full-force attack of the Ninefold Gale, which had reached the sixth level.

However, since it is ultimately an external force, it is not as easily controlled as a force that is completely under one's own command.

"cut!"

Without hesitation, Hunzhen roared and flashed forward, closing the distance to the giant elephant's side in an instant with a speed beyond its control, and slashed down with his sword!

A strong premonition of death caused the giant elephant to react even though it did not see Hunzhen's figure.

However, in the face of absolute power, all efforts are in vain.

The fangs shattered, the hair burned, and the flesh was instantly cooked through as the flaming blade pierced through it. The blade's momentum did not diminish as it continued to slice downwards.

boom--!

It was as if a tall building had been cut in half, and the huge corpse collapsed with a crash.

Hunzhen darted into the corpse, and a few seconds later, his blood-soaked body flew out, revealing a crystal-clear, irregularly shaped prism in his hand.

"This should be the most valuable thing inside this guy's body. I'll call it the 'Flame Beast Crystal' for now. I sensed a strong fire element power emanating from it. If you have no other ideas, I suggest that everyone collect items in this direction when searching for treasures in the future."

Hunzhen waved his hand, allowing everyone to see the appearance of the Flame Beast Crystal.

Looking down, he noticed the evasive glances the crowd gave him when they heard his statement, and immediately laughed, "Don't worry, other fire beasts might not be as strong as this one. By the way, fire beasts are my name for these native ferocious beasts. Feel free to suggest any better names you might have."

Everyone readily complied.

Despite their many questions about Hunzhen's nonchalant yet confident attitude, Hunzhen's actions just now clearly stunned everyone, and no one dared to ask any questions.

Next, Hunzhen briefly discussed the alliance's structure with everyone, and then held a barbecue party using the giant elephant's corpse to promote communication among the still unfamiliar group.

After a period of rest, the alliance, which gradually took on the appearance of a team and was named "Treasure Hunting Alliance (Temporary)," embarked on a journey to search for unknown treasures.

Everything is currently progressing smoothly according to the route set by Hunzhen.
