1056: Chapter 28: The Explosive Power of the Armor!
âHmph!â Souwu was well-prepared for Jia Yanâs attack.
His more than twenty-meter-long body suddenly spread its wings like a large bird, then soared to the low altitude of only about ten meters above the ground.
Naturally, Jia Yan would not let him go, his heart growing even colder as he pursued.
The relationship between the two, harmonious for integeral tens of days, finally tore apart today!
Speaking of their strengths, the difference wasnât too significant between them.
Itâs just that Jia Yan had almost exposed all his aces, while Souwu was a Venerable Three-headed Monster unknown in age.
Even if his current strength had weakened to the extreme, as a Starry Sky Sovereign, who knows how many more tricks he had that Jia Yan was unaware of; Jia Yan couldnât guarantee.
But none of these were reasons for Jia Yan to give up.
Two crazily pursuing figures kept charging forward within the Foggy Area!
Roar!
Right in front of them, a Respected level monster with an imposing figure and three heads suddenly burst out from the mist!
Utilizing the cover of fog, one of its heads lunged directly, targeting none other than Jia Yan.
The monster seemed to have not the slightest interest in Souwu, the old beast, as if Souwuâs flesh and blood had lost all appeal to it.
If Jia Yan wished to pursue Souwu, he had to face this Venerable Three-headed Monsterâs attack.
However, the creatureâs strength was far too formidable for Jia Yan, and he didnât know whether he would get hurt after its onslaught.
But Jia Yan didnât spend too much time thinking before he proudly lifted his head.
A faint azure color emerged from his body, and a Condensation Fluid surged on his bodyâs surface.
After several encounters with the Venerable Three-headed Monster, Jia Yan wasnât without any means; as long as he deployed his defenses in advance, he could block the attacks to the greatest extent!
Sure enough, as the three-headed beast approached Jia Yan, it employed its Environmental Control Ability, which Jia Yan still didnât understand well.
But that didnât stop Big Mosquito from cracking this move!
His condensation fluid merged directly with the frosty fog chunks bearing down on him, dissolving them.
âRoar!â Seeing that its Environmental Control Ability was futile, the three-headed beast let out an extremely frustrated and furious roar.
Simultaneously, one of its heads was biting down, its mouth drooling over the thought of Big Mosquitoâs flesh.
This Respected level monster had tasted Jia Yanâs âflavorâ just a few days ago.
Craving for Big Mosquitoâs flesh, which seemed tantilizing like âTang Monk Meatâ, it had obsessed over it for several days.
Now the greatest opportunity was before itâhow could it possibly let go?
So, it didnât even spare Souwu a glance!
Swoosh!
Souwu, ahead, spotted Big Mosquito entangled by the Venerable Three-headed Monster and a look of realization flashed in his eyes.
His speed suddenly increased, and he flew higher, making it less likely to be ambushed by other three-headed monsters.
Flying low was a deliberate act by Souwuâafter all, he was an old beast who had lived for who knows how long.
Even without Jia Yan saying anything, in these past few days, he realized that most of the turmoil and pursuit by the three-headed monsters in the entire area were aimed at Jia Yan.
So now, he took the risk of flying low, deliberately heading toward the Venerable Three-headed Monster chasing him, and indeed, the creature ignored him, clutching the Chaos Fruit, and lunged toward Jia Yan behind him.
âThis Jia Yan, I donât know what these three-headed monsters see in him, that even the sacred level three-headed monsters are so crazily capturing him!â Souwu watched as Big Mosquito was dragged to a halt by the Venerable Three-headed Monster and immediately picked up his speed again.
âBut regardless of his secrets, to me, this Chaos Fruit is the best thing right now!
Haha, with it, my chances of advancing will greatly increase.
Once I reach Stellar level, all the secrets and dangers of the Star Space level become insignificant.â
Souwu looked at the Chaos Fruit grasped in his claws, the creature relentlessly wailing.
But in Souwuâs claws, it had no chance to escape.
Seeing Souwu constantly flying away ahead, Jia Yan, dragged to a halt by the Venerable Three-headed Monster behind, became somewhat frantic, continuously dodging left and right!
âThis Souwu is really treacherous!
If his concealment towards me wasnât this extensive, maybe I would have even helped him.
But now, for me, the old guyâs actions have crossed my line.
Our relationship has long transcended friendship; itâs enemy, not ally!â
Jia Yan glared angrily at the Lord level three-headed beast, which seemed not at all perturbed by being pawned.
To it, no matter what role it was given to play, having another taste of Jia Yanâs flesh was its utmost pleasure, and maybe, its greatest chance for a breakthrough was Jia Yanâs flesh.
So, it burst forth with all its strength.
It couldnât believe Jia Yan would escape unscathed under its full force!
âIt seems this guy wonât stop until heâs captured me.
Hasnât he noticed that my resistance to him has strengthened too?
Just like a persistent spirit.â Jia Yanâs gaze was chilling.
For Souwuâs overall control of this action and the repeated overwhelming strength of these three-headed monsters, Jia Yanâs anger had always been simmering.
Regrettably, his strength was still insufficient, or else he would have wanted to seek revenge on each of them one by one.
âForget it, nowâs not the time to fight this three-headed monster.
I must break free from its entanglement and pursue Souwu!â
Jia Yan had made his decision when, coincidentally, a massive maw descended from the sky, enveloping him completely as if to swallow him whole.
Amid the dust-strewn assault, a figure rapidly sliced through the air.
His form was like a meteor from outer space, circling half-way around the base of the Three-headed Monsterâs body and then soaring towards the sky.
However, a Respected level monster was not so easily dealt with.
As Jia Yanâs speed picked up, another of the creatureâs heads, as if having anticipated the move, lunged forward and bit firmly onto one of Jia Yanâs hind legs!
âGet off me!â Jia Yan, feeling a sharp pain transmitting from his bitten leg and realizing the strength of his opponent, unleashed a fierce aura that burst forth violently.
He struck viciously with his other leg!
At the same time, a move that Jia Yan, now of Star-level High Rank, had never used before, and one that monsters like Souwu had never seen, suddenly erupted.
That was the âburstâ ability of the Latest Armor that Jia Yan had purchased!
The burst of power activated by Brainwave Power!
It wasnât that Jia Yan hadnât faced opponents before that could have drawn out this power, but this burst powered by the armorâs built-in energy source offered significant help for a typical Star level individual; however, for a top-tier Star level like Jia Yan, it didnât make much of a differenceâmerely increasing his power by a fraction of a percent.
Of course, the power that Jia Yan was now unleashing came at the cost of mechanical damageâa robust burst that enhanced his strength by about twenty percent!
With a whoosh, a jet of Flame shot out of the damaged armor.
The kinetic energy it generated propelled Big Mosquitoâs body forcefully forward.
And the mouth that had been biting onto Big Mosquitoâs hind leg was, for a moment, not clamped down tightly enough, allowing Jia Yan to break free!
The Venerable Three-headed Monster never anticipated that Jia Yan could unleash such terrifying Energy instantly; had it been prepared, perhaps Jia Yan wouldnât have escaped its maw, but due to its oversight, Jia Yan managed to escape!
The infuriated roar of the Three-headed Monster followed behind Jia Yan.
But Jia Yan had already used the burst power of the armor to escape from the area, flying away.
Crack, crack!
However, mid-flight, Jia Yan felt the armor he wore emitting strange, troubled noises, and then it simply stopped working.
âGood buddy, although you only did your job once, you saved my life.
Iâll find a way to repair you in the future,â Jia Yan sighed, looking down at the armor on his body.
For him, each piece of Armor had ultimately become part of his body, a sentimental way of remembrance.
And this armor, although always aware of how it worked and its significant assistance to him, had faced a sacred level monster on its first activation and had utterly lost function due to the overloadâit had served its purpose well, to be sure.
After all, it was a sacred level monster.
âSouwu!â
With his armor damaged, Jia Yan no longer held any feelings of friendship for Souwu, who had caused all this!
He suddenly increased his speed and then crashed into the horizon!
Not far away, on a piece of ground.
A monster quietly came to a stop behind a tall mountain.
Unexpectedly, there was an entrance to a cave of moderate size.
Souwu clutched the Chaos Fruit, which was the size of a buffalo, in his claw.
At this moment, the creature seemed to have lost consciousness, allowing Souwu to drag it into the cave.
âIÊŒve purposely drawn Jia Yan away these past few days and dug this cave.
Now, it comes in handy.
If Jia Yan does manage to escape the chase of the Three-headed Monster, he will surely look for me back at the Battleship.
But he will never be able to find me here!â thought Souwu excitedly.
âOf course, itâs more likely that the guy will be killed directly by the Three-headed Monster.
After all, itâs the same creature that managed to kill another Lord Level teammate from my previous squad!â
Souwu didnât dwell on Jia Yanâs life or death.
Instead, at this moment, the Chaos Fruit in his hand piqued his excitement and interest vastly.
He entered the cave only out of instinctual concern for safety.
