Star Forge Titan

"A monster I've never seen before." Without bothering to comfort his teammates, Alvin frowned and looked at the parasitic beast.

He had indeed never seen this thing in person in the game, but he could still realize its danger through brief contact.

He lamented why he had only been a powerful player, instead of a setting player who delved deeply into the game settings and plot, but there was no way to delay the movements of Alvin's hands.

After helping Andre escape the tragedy of Chu Jian Sha, the black-haired boy immediately launched an attack.

Ivan, who had distanced himself from his teammates in advance, activated the 'Virtual Scale Steel Armor' without hesitation, which had both active and passive defense capabilities!

The sharp scales that vibrated and strangled rapidly clashed violently with the insect beast's sickle legs that chopped again, and a large number of sparks flew in the air. This showed that the insect beast's outer skeletal shell contained a large amount of metal components, which meant that its hardness was no less than that of steel full body plate armor.

But that's all...

"Steel?"

A subtle smile appeared on the young man's lips, and in the flickering light brought by the flying sparks, he once again made a fist formation called Hard Rock.

"Let's compare it with the flesh that gets exercised occasionally."

Chapter 41: Pest Control Expert

The originally pale skin of the arms was gradually replaced by another color.

As a powerful or combat-capable player in the game, compared to the original skills that he has already mastered, in this low-intensity battle, Alvin naturally feels that he should use more new skills in order to increase his proficiency.

Moreover, this time he finally remembered what the solid rock was that he had imagined when he was learning the boxing configuration from the orcs.

Although Gao Shan only roughly talked about the basic principles and introductory methods of boxing configuration at that time, Alvin also roughly learned the core configuration of the Flowing Stone Fist style - hard rock.

So, what was the hard rock that I was thinking of at that time?

When asked about the strongest stone, if many gemstones are included, most people on Earth will think of diamond first.

Alvin is no exception.

So, what he was thinking about at that moment was a diamond, a rare diamond that he had seen when he visited a museum.

Apart from the complex and boring molecular formula and simple introduction to physical properties, other related content is naturally the unique name and mysterious background story.

Black Diamond - The Eye of Brahma

Even after being split into three, the most famous one still caused its three owners to commit suicide by jumping off a building one after another. Therefore, this gem was believed to release a curse, and was therefore called the "Death Gem" by people at that time.

This black gemstone, which is even harder than ordinary diamonds, has a lot of controversy about its origin.

The most exaggerated one even believes that they are all meteorite relics from outer space, and are extremely hard substances produced by supernova explosions.

But these have nothing to do with Alvin for the time being. He just mobilized his huge and violent primitive magic power to turn a piece of flesh and blood into extremely hard black diamond, while the power of the boxing configuration also allowed this part of flesh and blood to maintain the toughness of the skin.

Thus, a special protection that combines the hardness of diamond and maintains a certain toughness was born.

Perhaps for this reason, the magic power consumed by Alvin when using Hard Rock is dozens of times that of users with the same configuration.

Of course, his own magic reserves are many times higher than those of ordinary extraordinary people.

It seems like I accidentally made something exaggerated again...

As he was thinking casually, an indestructible black substance began to cover his arms.

The outer layer is wrapped in an invisible virtual scale steel armor that is always vibrating and strangling.

The next moment, Alvin put his five fingers together like a knife and stabbed directly into the bloody mouth of the parasitic beast!

The insect beast's continuous slashing sickle legs were all blocked by the expanding virtual scale steel armor, causing no consequences except for flying sparks.

On the contrary, the hand knife that Ivan stabbed out pierced through the sharp teeth of the insect beast's mouthparts and the solid external shell, and directly pierced into its soft internal organs.

The intense pain caused the insect beast's body to twitch violently, accompanied by a shrill whistle, and yellow-green liquid spurted out from the wound. It was also completely isolated by the virtual scale steel armor, but the part that dripped onto the ground made a hissing sound, which was obviously extremely corrosive.

"Vulnerable."

Making a casual comment, Alvin suddenly thought of a new way of attack, so he tried it according to the idea that just came to his mind.

"Huh" accompanied by the sound of a deep breath, the invisible armor wrapped around the black-haired boy suddenly expanded outward for a moment.

The invisible scales that were originally tightly attached to the surface of the steel armor stood up like blades, and suddenly cut in different directions.

Then, the part of the virtual scale steel armor wrapped around the arm was like dozens of electric saws that were suddenly swung in different directions, tearing the entire parasitic beast apart directly from the inside of the wound.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, covering half of the corridor with the sour blood, flesh, and shell fragments of insects and beasts, as if a box of old vinegar had been overturned, filling the air with a strong sour smell.

Okay, I can go COS Nandou Explosive Kill Fist.

After shaking off the non-existent blood, Ivan suddenly had such a subtle thought in his mind.

On the other hand, while he was playing the meme and eliminating the 'parasitic beast that not only did not retreat but also dared to attack actively', the tracker team next to him also successfully killed another insect beast.

Kalani cast a binding spell, and he used glowing magic ropes to wrap around the three blade legs on the right side of the insect beast to bind it.

Andre, holding a greatsword, fought with Lilith, who was holding a dagger.

Finally, the orc Gaoshan seized the opportunity and used a special longbow and heavy arrow to send the arrow into the monster's mouth with one decisive blow, penetrating its internal organs and killing it.

Although the whole process was quick, everyone was extremely focused, so it consumed a lot of physical strength and energy.

What's worse is that the number of parasitic beasts far exceeds the number of adventurers. When the subsequent monsters arrive, they will inevitably be trapped in a bitter battle with little hope.

"Prepare to retreat, we will leave the ruins along the same path we came in!" Andre made a prompt decision and was ready to give up this exploration without hesitation.

This is the prudent move of a truly seasoned adventurer.

However, those adventurers who are too greedy will never live to become experienced adventurers.

However, after learning from Maomao Chong that the ruins here might be related to events from ancient times, Alvin did not intend to leave so easily.

He must know more information in order to be adequately prepared for major events that may occur in the future, even if this means exposing some of his strength to others.

"Let's make a quick decision"

After saying that, the black-haired boy turned his head and looked into the depths of the corridor.

Facing the dozen or so parasitic beasts that came one after another, he raised his right hand with a relaxed expression, and then became slightly more serious.

In front of the boy's outstretched five fingers, a bright white light began to emanate out of thin air. Even the mana floating in the surrounding environment turned into particles of light and gathered towards it, until it turned into a flowing storm of light.

This is—destruction! annihilation! white! light! sword!

Chapter 42: Going to the Cat's Nest

"Looking at it this way, besides Nan Dou's Explosive Killing Fist, even Bei Dou can imitate it a little bit."

“I think even if I’m still a little behind Tianjiang Benlie, I should be able to shout Beidou Gang Palm Wave without any problem.”

As the light converged, Alvin even had the leisure to think so to his own amusement.

Amid the sharp howls of the insect beasts, a large amount of magic power that was swirling and gathering in Ivan's palm instantly turned into a simple and brutal shock wave and radiated out.

Although it was only a low-power mode white light sword of destruction, apart from the basic damage, it did not absorb and accumulate the enemy's attack power through the Sun Shield.

However, the white light wave radiating from Ivan's palm still completely penetrated the entire passage in a short period of time, and evenly created a very regular circular gap in the bodies of the ten subsequent parasitic beasts.

The destructive white light sword, which has a combined killing mode of high temperature and kinetic energy, can cause fatal damage to these monsters whose strength is enough to make most first- and second-level extraordinary people feel difficult to deal with.

The parasitic beasts, whose wounds showed signs of being charred, fell down one after another, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.

Ivan turned around and was about to explain a few words to his temporary teammates.

But he immediately saw that the cocoon that the cat-cat worm had just hurriedly woven was broken from the inside, and a large group of round cat-cat worms with different fur colors swarmed out. They cried "Ah Ah" and pounced on the insect beast, scratching and biting it. It was obvious that they were very hostile to these monsters. Perhaps they were really natural enemies and were often bullied by each other.

Suddenly, Alvin felt a flutter in his pocket.

He then remembered that during the battle just now, in order to prevent the catworm that had not hidden in the cocoon from being affected, he stuffed this little thing into his pocket.

The intelligence of the cat bug seems to be quite good. At least during the fierce (probably) battle, the little guy did not cause any trouble to himself at all, and only now did he show the desire to come out.

Taking out the white catworm from his pocket, Alvin rolled up the little guy and threw it towards its compatriots.

As a result, the little guy rolled in the air, spread his limbs and made a ferocious and cute (definitely) tiger pounce posture, and landed on the body of the nearest insect beast and started biting it madly.

Then, it climbed onto the head of the parasitic beast's remains with very nimble movements, puffed out its chest and began to yell "Meow, meow" in a domineering manner.

"These little guys are really rampant when they get the upper hand."

Alvin cursed with a laugh, and couldn't help but feel that the kittens, cats and insects were really funny.

Suddenly, an accident happened.

The parasitic beast, which had not died completely due to the angle of illumination, suddenly opened its mouth when it was on the verge of death and swallowed the particularly arrogant white cat-worm that stepped on its head in one gulp.

In an instant, Alvin, who had excellent dynamic vision, took action.

The arm covered with black plating directly pierced the insect beast's mouthparts from the side. Under the power of the Titan descendant and the enhanced defensive limbs, the insect beast's shell as strong as steel was simply useless, and those corrosive body fluids had no effect on Ivan.

With precise opening and precise capture, it took less than a second for Alvin, like a top claw machine player, to take out the white catworm that had just been swallowed and was still in a dazed state.

Then, he suddenly raised his right leg, and his strong and powerful limbs were wrapped in the rotating and cutting virtual scale steel armor, chopping down fiercely like a whistling chainsaw battle axe.

boom!

The parasitic beast was like being hit head-on by a rocket, or cut directly in half by a guillotine, first split into two, and then exploded in an instant by the virtual scale steel armor.

A barrier of white light enveloped the stunned cats and bugs around them, shielding them from the splashing highly corrosive liquid.

It was only then that Alvin noticed the white cat-bug in his hand, which actually reacted quite quickly.

In the extremely short time it was swallowed by the insect beast, it actually managed to urgently weave a layer of silk cocoon for itself for protection.

It was precisely because of this extra layer of tough silk fabric that most of the sharp fangs and dangerous corrosive liquids were blocked in the first place, preventing the white catworm from suffering fatal injuries.

But the poor little guy still looks terrible now. Several pieces of soft fur are missing from his body, and bleeding wounds can be seen through the damaged fur.

The bright red blood dyed the hair around the wound red.

“Mee-woo-woo”

The white cat-bug curled up in Ivan's hand, wailing pitifully. Other cat-bugs also gathered around and made sad cries as well.

"How pitiful." Lilim showed an expression of pity.

"This is the desert." The orc Gaoshan patted the halfling's shoulder and said in a low voice:

"It's not a fatal injury. There's still time." Alvin mobilized his vitality and magic power.

Pure white magical flames rose from his palms and enveloped the injured cat bug.

The high concentration of positive energy and abundant vitality contained in the Flame of Life allowed the catworm's wounds to heal quickly.

At the same time, Ivan was somewhat surprised to discover that his magic seemed to be unusually effective against this magical creature. Or rather, the wavelengths of their magic powers were extremely compatible.

The cat and cat bug were not like Lucas who was rescued by him before, who was wincing in pain. Instead, he had a very comfortable expression.

The little thing even arched its body and stretched, looking like it was enjoying it immensely.

The small wound healed quickly, and even the pulled-out hair grew back.

Then, a hilarious scene happened. Under the infusion of magic power, the cat and cat bug's big watery eyes began to glow, literally glow.

It acts like a portable flashlight or a miner's headlamp, emitting two beams of light outward.

So you’re not only good at repairs, but you can also act as a makeshift flashlight???

While Alvin was complaining in astonishment, the cat and cat turned its head around in surprise, illuminating the dark corridor. It didn't lick the wound until the light disappeared.

Then, it started barking at Alvin with a happy look on its face.

The other cats and insects nearby who saw this scene also started to meow.

At the same time, they also bowed their heads in a saluting gesture, just like primitive people earnestly worshiping the tall totem pole of their own tribe.

"Newbie, I'm afraid these little guys think you're their leader." Andre laughed and said half-jokingly:

"That's great. I also want to have a better relationship with the little cutie." Lilim looked at Ivan with envy.

At this time, the white cat-worm called out to Alvin twice, then jumped off his hand, walked a few steps toward the end of the passage, turned back to look at everyone and continued to call out a few more times.

"Does it want us to follow it?" Lilith looked at the others uncertainly.

"It should be." Andre nodded.

"Everyone, do you think we should continue exploring for a while? We still have time, but I'm a little worried that those monsters from before will reappear."

As he said this, he focused his attention mainly on Ivan.

The strength gradually revealed by the newcomer made everyone else realize that the other party was obviously not an ordinary adventurer like themselves.
