Chapter 5: The Dark Blood Age! Chapter 22: Everything that doesn’t kill me will only make me stronger!
Two days later!
Wilderness area.
Dense and sharp sword beams suddenly landed on a hilltop.
In an instant, dozens of beast-level monsters living on this mountain were strangled to death.
Then, Chu Zhou's figure landed.
He wielded his knife to open up a temporary stone chamber on the barren mountain and went in to rest.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the stone chamber, with a trace of fatigue on his face.
I've been really tired these two days.
Ever since he used all his trump cards to escape from the old man in black and the old man with silver hair two days ago, those two men have gone crazy and chased him to death.
He was forced to keep fleeing, with almost no time to rest and recover. He had to constantly battle wits and courage with the two old monsters, constantly changing his escape route, and leaving various traces many times to mislead them.
"Those two old monsters were really chasing me too closely, not giving me a chance to catch my breath. If I hadn't been changing my flying direction irregularly and misleading them many times over the past two days, I'm afraid I would have been caught up by them long ago."
Chu Zhou sat cross-legged in the stone chamber, frowning and thinking.
This is not a solution.
Sooner or later he would be caught up by those two old monsters.
Moreover, one of the important reasons why he was able to successfully escape from the joint siege of the two old monsters last time was because he unexpectedly used all kinds of means that the two old monsters had not anticipated.
Now the two old monsters are on guard.
If he uses the same method again, it may not be effective.
Of course, he still had two trump cards, the 'Crescent Bloodline' and the Thousand Star Vine, which he never used.
However, after the last fight, Chu Zhou understood that the strength of those two old monsters was much stronger than that of the 'Snake King' Chu Changqing.
Even if he revealed his last two cards, he might not be able to kill one of them.
If the two old monsters join forces, it would be even more impossible for him to kill them.
The result of him revealing his last two trump cards would most likely allow him to escape from the pursuit of the two old monsters once again.
After that, we will continue to fall into the current predicament.
This was not the result he wanted.
The result he wanted was to kill the two old monsters.
What he wants is to change from being the prey to being the hunter.
"Those two old monsters are much stronger than the 'Snake King' Chu Changqing. Even if they are not intermediate kings, they are almost there."
"If I want to kill them, I'm still far from being able to do so with my current strength."
"At least, I have to complete Nirvana once more before I can have the strength to fight back."
As soon as he thought about it, alloy boxes flew out from the space inside his body and landed in the stone chamber.
He opened all these boxes with his spiritual power, revealing bottles of high-grade genetic nutrient solution inside.
These advanced genetic nutrient solutions were the spoils he obtained from the Ling family.
In the battle with the Ling family, he not only received more than 50 billion "hard work fee" that the Ling family's head Ling Wanshou "forced" to give him before his death...
He also obtained several hundred boxes of advanced genetic business fluid from the Ling family's treasure house.
However, most of the advanced genetic operating fluid was used up when he was undergoing his seventh nirvana.
Now, there are only about 5,000 left.
As Chu Zhou thought about it, a black hole with a diameter of about one meter appeared in the stone chamber.
A strong devouring force emanated from the black hole. Bottles of high-level genetic nutrient solution immediately flew out of the box and fell into the black hole, where they were devoured and transformed by the black hole.
Surging energy continued to surge in Chu Zhou's body, like a sweet rain from the sky, replenishing the almost dried-up original force in Chu Zhou's body.
Chu Zhou's pale face quickly turned rosy.
At the same time , the attribute points in the attribute panel are also increasing.
After a moment, the black hole converted all the energy of the genetic nutrient solution, and Chu Zhou also recovered 30% of his condition.
[Attribute points: 600,000 (+100,000)]
Seeing the changes in attribute points, Chu Zhou frowned.
Ever since he was promoted to a boundary master, the effect of the advanced genetic nutrient solution has become less and less effective.
Each bottle of advanced gene nutrient solution can only increase 47.25 points of attributes.
Such a small attribute is not enough to fill the gaps in his teeth now.
This time, nearly half of the energy from the 5,000 bottles of advanced gene nutrient solution was used by him to make up for his own consumption, and less than half of the remaining energy was converted into attribute points.
But it only increased 100,000 attribute points.
"Based on the experience of the seventh elemental nirvana, if I want to quickly complete another elemental nirvana, I'm afraid it will cost at least 15 million attribute points... Just increasing 100,000 attribute points is a drop in the bucket!"
Chu Zhou sighed deeply.
He now finally understood why warriors rarely used advanced genetic nutrient solution after reaching the critical level.
Even if it is used, it is basically used to restore the status.
Basically, no one uses advanced genetic nutrient solution for cultivation.
In fact, the energy contained in the advanced genetic nutrient solution is too insignificant for the cultivation needs of the boundary people.
Unfortunately, the advanced genetic nutrient solution is very expensive, costing 10 million per bottle.
The price/performance ratio is really not high.
"It seems that if I want to successfully carry out the eighth nirvana, I have to rely on devouring the flesh and blood of monsters above the commander level..."
Chu Zhou muttered to himself, and his figure instantly disappeared in the stone chamber.
During his two days of escape, he had already noticed four or five places where commander-level monsters appeared. He even deliberately took two old monsters with him and made a circle around those four or five places.
He had been to those four or five places with the two old monsters. Presumably, the two old monsters didn't expect that he would return to those places.
This is called darkness under the lamp.
Now Chu Zhou had to go to those places and kill the commander-level monsters living there, so that they could become the nourishment for him to complete his eighth nirvana.
Not long after Chu Zhou left, two terrifying figures appeared in Chu Zhou's stone chamber.
"Damn it, he escaped again!"
"Keep chasing!"
The two figures burst out with astonishing momentum, instantly tearing the stone chamber and even the entire mountain into pieces, and then turned into two lightning-like afterimages and quickly moved away.
Half a day later, Chu Zhou appeared in a forest covered with various stalagmites.
Chu Zhou hid in the branches of a towering tree, his eyes constantly scanning the mountains and forests.
In his sight, this stretch of forest was filled with piles of white bones like small mountains.
Some of the bones were covered with bloody flesh, and a strong stench filled the air, causing Chu Zhou to hold his breath.
In addition to the creepy bone mountains, Chu Zhou also saw many huge ape monsters.
The shortest ape monster is two stories tall, with steel-like muscles protruding from its body, giving people a huge sense of oppression.
But there are also some ape monsters that are four stories tall and have four thick ape arms. They exude a tragic and violent aura, which is creepy.
When Chu Zhou saw those four-armed ape-like monsters, he recognized their identities immediately.
They are the famous four-armed violent apes among the ape monsters. They are beast general-level monsters, comparable to the controllers among humans.
Chu Zhou carefully counted the number of four-armed apes in the forest and found that there were about twenty of them.
However, the four-armed violent ape was not Chu Zhou's main target this time. His target was the six-armed violent ape, the overlord of this forest.
It’s a pity that the six-armed violent ape doesn’t seem to be at home now.
"I can't stay here for too long. It won't be long before those two old monsters catch up with me... It seems that I can only hunt down these twenty four-armed violent apes with great difficulty..."
Chu Zhou felt somewhat unwilling and prepared to take action.
However, at this moment, there was a huge vibration outside the forest.
Two huge figures appeared outside the forest.
Chu Zhou instantly looked at the two huge figures, and his face suddenly lit up with joy. That was the six-armed violent ape he was looking for.
However, to his surprise, there were not just one six-armed violent ape here, but two.
This is such a pleasant surprise.
Two six-armed apes walked into the forest from the southwest, and their heavy footsteps made muffled sounds as they landed on the ground.
Their bodies were covered with thick white fur and were more than ten stories high, like two towering snow-capped mountains.
From a distance, it gives people a huge sense of oppression.
One of the six-armed apes was carrying a flying monster about seven or eight feet long on its right shoulder.
The flying monster had already died, its wings spread out, its head and tail drooping limply, swaying with the footsteps of the six-armed violent ape.
The other six-armed violent ape was dragging a golden-armored beast that Chu Zhou had seen before with one hand. The huge golden-armored beast was dragged casually in the hands of the six-armed violent ape like a pheasant.
The corpses of the flying monster and the golden-armored beast were filled with a terrifying aura, but in the eyes of the two six-armed violent apes, they were nothing more than food, which was truly shocking.
"Isn't it buy one get one free, but buy one get four free?"
"My luck is too good!"
Chu Zhou muttered to himself, excitement in his eyes.
The moment he saw the flying monsters and golden-armored beasts brought back by the two six-armed violent apes, he sensed that the flying monsters and golden-armored beasts had also reached the commander level.
This is truly an unexpected surprise!
The original intention of coming here was just to hunt a six-armed violent ape.
But unexpectedly, there were two six-armed apes living here.
What’s even more amazing is that these two six-armed violent apes brought back the corpses of two commander-level monsters.
What is a surprise?
That’s called a surprise!
Swish!
Chu Zhou took action directly, and his figure instantly appeared above the two six-armed violent apes.
"roar--"
The two six-armed apes, as majestic as snow-capped mountains, roared angrily when they saw Chu Zhou, a human, appear in their territory.
They were ready to stretch out their giant arms, grab Chu Zhou, and crush him into meat paste.
However, before they could make a move, a huge hexagonal pagoda appeared above their heads. A terrifying mental pressure came down with a bang, and layers of transparent ripples spread in the void.
The mental consciousness of the two six-armed violent apes was immediately severely damaged. They knelt on the ground with blood coming out of their seven orifices, holding their heads and wailing.
At this moment, a black dragon-like metal vine suddenly broke out of the ground and wrapped around their bodies, making them unable to move.
"Thank you for your contribution, I will remember you in the future!"
Chu Zhou appeared in front of two six-armed violent apes entangled by the Thousand Star Vine with a smile. Two flying knives flew out of his body, shooting into the pupils of the two six-armed violent apes like lightning, piercing their heads and taking away all their life force.
"With these four commander-level monster corpses, it is more than enough for me to complete Nirvana again."
"It's just that their bodies are too huge. They have to be cut into pieces so that there is space inside my body to accommodate them!"
He muttered to himself, and hundreds of flying knives flew out from his body, cutting up the two six-armed violent apes, the flying monster and the golden armored beast.
During this period, other ape monsters in the forest saw their two leaders being killed instantly by the human Chu Zhou, and they fled away in fear.
Originally, Chu Zhou was planning to kill the twenty four-armed violent apes as well.
But now, the four corpses of commander-level monsters are more than enough for him to complete nirvana.
Moreover, the space inside the body is limited and cannot accommodate more monster corpses.
So he didn't bother to pay attention to the twenty four-armed apes and let them escape.
Soon, hundreds of flying knives cut the bodies of the four commander-level monsters into pieces.
Chu Zhou thought about it and collected all the flesh and blood into the space inside his body, then immediately turned into a residual shadow and left.
About fifteen minutes later, the old man in black and the old man arrived at the forest. Looking at the fresh bloodstains all over the ground, they frowned immediately.
"That guy is really cunning. I didn't expect him to come back and play a trick on us. But why did he come here to kill these monsters?"
The old man in black said doubtfully.
Chu Zhou was clearly still being chased by them, yet he still had the leisure to come here to kill monsters. The old man in black really couldn't understand Chu Zhou's intention.
It's not like he's making a contribution to humanity. Even when he's on the run, he's killing monsters for humanity.
No one would believe such a reason.
"I also don't understand why he would risk his life and suddenly return here to kill the monster..."
"But, I have collected information about him. From what I know about him, he is a very purposeful person. He will never do useless work."
"I have a bad feeling. We must find him and kill him as soon as possible... Otherwise, something we don't want to see may happen."
The silver-haired old man said this in a serious manner.
The old man in black looked serious when he heard this.
The king's intuition is often very accurate.
It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not.
He also agreed with the silver-haired old man that Chu Zhou must be found and killed as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.
"I remember now. That guy once took us here for a tour. In addition to this place, he also took us to four other places for a tour..."
"...If that's the case, since that guy returned here to kill monsters, he might also go to the other four locations to kill monsters."
"Let's go! Let's go to the other four locations immediately to look for that guy!"
As the old man in black said this, he and the old man with silver hair immediately took off into the air and flew towards several places that Chu Zhou had taken them around in circles.
However, they didn't know that Chu Zhou got four corpses of commander-level monsters at one time, so there was no need to go to several other locations.
Chu Zhou came to a remote forest he had never been to before, then restrained all the energy in his body and let the Thousand Star Vine take him into the depths of the earth.
"You two old monsters, just wait for me. Everything that can't kill me will only make me stronger... I will come to find you again soon."
"Only next time, I won't be the prey, but the hunter!"
Chu Zhou thought fiercely in his heart.
