Chapter 218 Meteor, Golden Armored Man
"But before I go, I have to deal with a suspicious guy." Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at the side of the graveled path, near the mountain rocks.
"Suspicious guy? Who is it?" The young boy who seemed to be a noble looked over, but did not see any suspicious person there. There were only some rocks, trees, and weeds.
However, Zhou Chen did not answer him. His figure shot over like a phantom and charged into the pile of rocks a few hundred meters away.
Zhou Chen had sensed a suspicious target through the Bloodthirst.
He approached the area at high speed and quickly arrived behind a few boulders. Then, he saw a red-robed man holding a bone staff look up at him with a trace of surprise.
Then, two red lights flashed in front of the man, and two tall red-skinned goat-headed monsters appeared to block Zhou Chen.
"So it was all your work."
Seeing this, Zhou Chen immediately understood that the red demons that were incompatible with the surrounding environment blocking the carriages earlier were also summoned by this man. He increased his speed and prepared to restrain him and interrogate.
However, the man's reaction was very fast. When he saw that the two goat-headed demons he had summoned were sent flying by Zhou Chen, he fled while raising his staff to summon more demons, trying to use them to block Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen was getting annoyed. He directly punched at him from afar. The violent Eight Desolates True Energy instantly formed an invisible fist and destroyed this man.
"So weak? He didn't have any defensive spells?" Zhou Chen was speechless. He had thought that this guy had some strength.
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Abyss Summoner's passive skill "Spirit Enhancement V". Detected that it is superior to the passive skill you already have. It will automatically be replaced.]
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Abyss Summoner's passive skill "Summon Enhancement V". Do you want to absorb it?]
[Summon Enhancement V
Type: Mid Silver passive skill
Your summons deal 25% increased damage and take 5% less damage.
Your Abyss Summons deal an additional 35% damage and take an additional 15% less damage.]
"Absorb!"
After seeing this passive skill, Zhou Chen knew that although he could not make the best use of this skill since he did not have Abyss Summons, it was effective on Little Red as well, so he happily absorbed it.
Then, he looked at his character interface and realized that his spirit attribute had changed from 6.5 to 7.6, increasing by as much as 1.1.
"This person is so weak but his passive skills are quite good."
He then glanced at the large pile of rubble that he had blasted into pieces and turned to leave.
But before he could leave the mountain rock area and return to the side of the luxurious carriage, the sky suddenly changed.
Thunderous sounds suddenly came from the blue sky. At the same time, red cracks appeared in the sky like wounds in the sky. From those cracks, something that looked like meteors shot out and scattered like fireworks on the vast land below.
"What are those? Meteors?"
Zhou Chen stared at this strange scene in the sky and carefully observed it. He felt that they should not be ordinary meteors, because there was no logic behind meteors appearing in the cracks, and there was no reason for them to carry a faint pressure.
"These things might be related to the gods of this world!"
Zhou Chen quickly thought of the mission's title, 'Twilight of the Gods'. He felt that this was a manifestation of the Twilight of the gods. The high and mighty gods had fallen to the ground for some unknown reason, and were no longer as transcendent as before.
Zhou Chen's high spirit attribute brought about sharp perception, making him sense some pressure from those meteor-like things even though he was very far away. It was quite similar to the pressure from a higher being.
"No matter what, I have to take a look."
After making up his mind, Zhou Chen took out his hovering motorcycle from the inventory and jumped on it. He immediately accelerated and quickly reached Mach 10 speed!
It was necessary to drive so fast because although the meteors were visible to the naked eye, they were actually very far from the ground. Moreover, their falling speed was very fast. If he did not push the speed to the maximum, he would not have a chance to reach them.
The flying speed of Mach 10 meant that he could cross more than 3,000 meters per second. Under the protection of the ion shield, he flew into the sky while wondering which meteor to choose.
The short flight just now had made Zhou Chen realize that even with Mach 10 speed, he was not as fast as the meteors. Instead, he was getting further and further away from most of the meteors. If he wanted to gain something, he could only choose to chase those meteors that happened to be near him.
"It's you then. The pressure you give me is moderate."
After a quick selection, Zhou Chen locked his goal on a green meteor that was the nearest to him. The trajectory of this meteor was quite close to his flying route, and the pressure it emitted was relatively ordinary, making him feel that it might be a suitable target.
However, after Zhou Chen neared the meteor, its speed suddenly increased. In the blink of an eye, it fell into the vast sea below and disappeared.
Both of them had crossed a huge distance with astonishing speed and had already reached the sea.
"What's going on? There is not even a wave after it landed?"
After the meteor fell into the sea, Zhou Chen arrived at the area on the hovering motorcycle not long after. His flying speed had already decreased to less than Mach 2, but no matter how patiently he searched, he did not find any trace of the meteor. The sea surface was calm, and it seemed like nothing had fallen in it.
"F*ck, how am I supposed to find it if it runs into the sea like this?"
Zhou Chen's hovering motorcycle could fly above the sea, but it could not dive into the bottom of the sea, so he was a little dazed.
After searching for a while with his Bloodthirst perception, he found nothing other than some ordinary fish and had to give up.
"Where did I come from just now?"
When he prepared to return, Zhou Chen realized that he had lost his way and he did not see any signs of land around him.
"I will just go in a random direction. My motorcycle is very fast anyway."
He looked at the sky and realized that the meteors were all gone. After observing the sun and not being able to tell the direction, he randomly chose a direction and rode the hovering motorcycle.
He was not worried that he would not be able to return to land because his motorbike could run indefinitely and was very fast as well.
After a while, he saw an island.
The island was neither large nor small. He could vaguely feel a special pressure coming from it.
"There's something on that island?" Zhou Chen immediately reacted and thought about whether he should approach it.
According to his previous style, he would definitely directly charge over, but this time, the opponents had great origins, so he had to be careful.
Just as he was thinking, another abnormality occurred. On the other side of the island in the distance, a bolt of lightning shot over from the sea and entered the island in the blink of an eye.
"Someone entered first?!"
Zhou Chen had vaguely seen the figure of a man after the lightning entered the island and immediately had a bad feeling.
"I have to go."
Zhou Chen understood that he could not hesitate anymore when someone came to steal what he had laid his eyes on. He immediately sped up the hovering motorcycle and entered the island very quickly.
After arriving at the island, Zhou Chen put the hovering motorcycle away and walked on the bare rock toward the direction he had sensed.
But soon, he did not need to sense it because an explosion similar to a volcanic eruption occurred on the island. Then, two figures appeared, stirring up continuous violent rumbles.
Zhou Chen immediately activated his Shield passive skill to block the dust. At the same time, he judged the situation over there with his perception.
"There are two powerful humanoid creatures fighting. They seem to be evenly matched."
After sensing for a while, he determined that their strength was not enough to instakill him and quickly approached.
After passing through the smoke and dust, Zhou Chen quickly saw that at the center of the island, a middle-aged man whose entire body was emitting lightning was fighting a man dressed in golden armor.
The golden-armored man emitted an indescribable pressure. It was precisely what Zhou Chen had sensed in the sky.
'This is the god of this world? He doesn't seem to be very strong.' Although the pressure was not weak, it was far from the divine pressure that Zhou Chen had expected.
"Friend! Help me!"
While Zhou Chen was observing, the middle-aged man covered in lightning suddenly pulled away from the golden-armored man and shouted at him.
However, just as this person spoke, he was punched by the golden-armored man and sunk into the island below.
Then, a deep voice sounded.
"Human, help me. I will make you my envoy." It was the man in golden armor. He looked at Zhou Chen and also extended an olive branch.
"You're a god?" Zhou Chen asked.
However, the golden-armored man did not answer Zhou Chen's question. Instead, as if he was angered by the reply, he suddenly approached Zhou Chen and punched him.
Zhou Chen was smashed into the island violently like the lightning man.
"What great strength… and just now, I seemed to be restrained and could not react in time."
Zhou Chen, who had been knocked into the island, was not dead, but he was injured quite badly. One strike was able to break through his defense. There was also the strange immobilizing ability that made him unable to counterattack.
"However, it's not impossible for me to kill him." Although he was suppressed, Zhou Chen felt that this enemy was still within his hunting range.
He immediately activated Windrun and charged towards the sky.
The lightning-wielding man had already engaged with the golden-armored man again. His speed was extremely fast and his defensive power was also quite good. After being restrained by the golden-armored man, his speed would not decrease much and he could still evade.
Zhou Chen charged at the golden-armored man and punched him from afar.
The golden-armored man's figure immediately swayed as he looked in Zhou Chen's direction.
"His defensive power is quite high. My Eight Desolates True Energy is like a massage to him. Looks like I have to get close."
While Zhou Chen was thinking, he once again experienced the feeling from before. His entire body suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a swamp and was unable to move. Then, he was hit by the punch of the golden-armored man.
Blood immediately flowed from the corners of Zhou Chen's mouth as he was smashed into the ground again.
Fortunately, the lightning man had attacked the golden-armored man, distracting him and preventing him from continuing to beat Zhou Chen.
"I feel that it might be better if I fight him alone…"
Zhou Chen, who had been dunked in the ground for the second time, felt the Berserk passive skill that had stacked two times.
If he wanted to defeat that golden-armored man, he only had a chance if he stacked berserking. This was because the other party had the advantage in strength and a strange control ability. He had to rely on stacked Berserk to increase his strength and speed to deal with it.
"My martial arts level is still too low. If I had the level of a grandmaster, I would not be beaten one sidedly."
Zhou Chen charged out of the ground and attacked the golden-armored man again.
This time, he still did not manage to hit the other party. He only had time to use the Eight Desolates True Energy to scratch the other party once before he was sent flying again and fell into the sea.
However, the lightning man had already formed a tacit understanding with Zhou Chen. When the golden-armored man attacked Zhou Chen, he would also increase his attacks, making the golden-armored man have no choice but to turn around and deal with him.
Zhou Chen kept on stacking berserking as he was beaten. His strength, speed, and recovery speed increased again and again.
Although Zhou Chen was still unable to close in on the golden-armored man, he luckily triggered the passive skill, Freeze. Frost instantly covered the golden-armored man's body, and his movements instantly froze.
"It actually succeeded."
Zhou Chen had been releasing his Eight Desolates True Energy to attack him because he wanted to activate this Freeze passive skill. His Freeze passive skill was at the silver rank, so there should be a chance of success when dealing with this target. Now, it was finally effective.
Taking advantage of this short period of time, Zhou Chen and the lightning man directly targeted the golden armored man's head.
Under the close combat attack, Zhou Chen gave the golden-armored man a taste of the spiritual damage of the Touch of Evil and the poison damage of the Corpse Poison.
The lightning man continued to use his lightning to attack, leaving burn marks on the golden-armored man's face.
