Chapter 397: Chapter 339: Instant Kill Diamond Level Creature!
The melancholy of life, much like having no hair at all.
"So... this time, really not even a single hair left for me, huh?" Li Zheng scratched his bald head while swiping his card on the reader.
"Suddenly, I kind of understand what Zhan Zhouzhou was thinking back then. What’s happening?"
"Aooooo~"
Little Sakura continued laughing. The pink Poli had a different sense of aesthetics, but when Little Sakura laughed, it laughed too.
"Laugh!" Li Zheng pretended to be fierce: "Laugh again, and I’ll pull out your teeth!"
"Oww~" Little Sakura paused for a moment but couldn’t resist and continued to laugh heartily.
In its eyes, its master with a "boiled egg" head looked far more comical than simply being bald.
Thump!
Seeing his threat was ineffective, Li Zheng tapped Little Sakura’s forehead irritably and stepped into the light screen.
Little Sakura held its forehead and followed in, still laughing uncontrollably, as if someone had pressed its laughter point.
Isa and Kuro exchanged glances, electronic eyes showing a look of confusion, not understanding what was funny.
...
[Molten Fire Giant Beast
Tier: Diamond
Characteristics: Born within lava, its whole body is composed of magma, flame, and obsidian.
Abilities: Shattering Stone Strike, Shaking Mountains and Suppressing Peaks, Molten Fire Surge, Unstoppable.
Weaknesses: Ice, Water.
With scholar Old Pu: This giant beast is just lame, utterly countered, how can you lose when a flying dragon is riding on your face?]
As soon as Li Zheng entered this room, he felt a wave of heat rushing toward him. It didn’t come from the environmental temperature but from the Diamond Level creature "Molten Fire Giant Beast" inside the room.
This room was initially a normal woodland environment, but now, due to the presence of the Molten Fire Giant Beast, all trees and plants were incinerated, leaving behind blackened ashes and charred trees.
The Molten Fire Giant Beast was lying dormant in the center of the forest, seemingly resting, with a massive body. Even though it was crouched, Li Zheng could still see parts of its body protruding from the forest.
The black and red intertwined, dark red magma flowing ceaselessly amidst the obsidian, like an active volcano sitting there.
"Tsk..." Li Zheng wore an odd expression, touching his bald head.
What could be more absurd than the scene before him?
Forget ice or water; the explosive ability Li Zheng had just acquired seemed precisely tailored for such a being, easily blowing it to pieces once triggered.
Now, his concern wasn’t how to kill the Molten Fire Giant Beast but how to protect himself and Little Sakura amidst the explosions to come.
Li Zheng glanced around, found a corner along the edge of the forest, and released his capsule dwelling.
Opening the door, he let Little Sakura and the others in, while he stood at the dwelling’s entrance, staring toward the Molten Fire Giant Beast.
"If only the invincible feature of the capsule dwelling were still there," Li Zheng wasn’t sure what would happen once it exploded, given the beast’s size, even crouching, was three stories high.
But considering a fireball the size of a thumb could rival a grenade, the forthcoming scene shouldn’t be weaker than the explosion of ’Fat Man’ and ’Little Boy’.
"Hiss~ Let’s start."
Li Zheng took a deep breath, snapped his fingers, and simultaneously activated his ability toward the Molten Fire Giant Beast.
The next moment, heaven and earth lost their color, and the entire forest was bathed in red firelight.
Without much thought, Li Zheng slammed the door shut with a whoosh.
Boom!!!!!!!
An ear-splitting explosion sounded, and the capsule dwelling shook violently, seemingly ready to fall apart at any moment.
Li Zheng watched in terror as the wall toward the Molten Fire Giant Beast warped severely, with repair notifications for the capsule dwelling flooding his vision, no less than fifty messages in an instant.
At that moment, Li Zheng suddenly realized why the "explosion" ability couldn’t be released continuously.
Because it’s too overpowered!
If he could release it continuously, even a fireball the size of a thumb could create the commotion happening now with confidence.
For a Diamond Tier ability, it’s a bit too much.
And it also makes it easier to kill oneself in the process.
The explosion’s effect was like an aging middle-aged man, only lasting for a few seconds.
Soon it quieted outside, leaving only the soft crackling sound.
After spending a lot of low-tier materials to repair the dwelling, Li Zheng opened the door to find black "snow" falling outside.
It was the forest plants incinerated earlier, completely turned to dust in the super explosion just now, propelled everywhere by the shockwave, gently falling down like snow after the explosion ended.
"This ability is terrifying." Li Zheng looked at the spot where the Molten Fire Giant Beast had been; now it’s bare, with even the black snow unable to cover the explosion center.
It’s hard to imagine a Fire Ability ultimately becoming a nemesis to fire elemental life.
Li Zheng thought that, when encountering similar creatures, even if they’re stronger than him, he has nothing to fear.
At least... he can ensure mutual destruction with them.
"Anyway, from now on, my output can surely fight above my tier, as long as I solve the difficulty of attaching flames to enemies during battle, there’s no enemy I can’t kill." Li Zheng raised his hand to summon the Air Purifier, put it on, and walked out of the dwelling.
Behind him, Isa and Kuro came to the door, looking at the bleakness outside, both shocked.
They exchanged glances and sensed the strong shock from each other’s emotions.
They didn’t expect that the master they casually acknowledged would grow to such a level in less than two days!
Li Zheng quickly walked to the place where the Molten Fire Giant Beast had been, finding that not only the burnt plants and the beast were gone, but even the ground had a massive crater from the explosion earlier, with a diameter of at least thirty meters!
"Hmm? There’s something at the bottom of the pit." Li Zheng stood at the pit’s edge, noticed a difference, and jumped down nimbly.
Whoosh!
The Demon Thunder Wings unfolded, and Li Zheng landed lightly at the pit’s bottom; the temperature here had risen another level, but he had already cast an Extreme Isolation on himself when on the ground.
[Molten Core
Tier: Diamond
Type: Special Item
Description: The energy and consciousness core of the Molten Fire Giant Beast, containing vast energy.
Function: Can be used to craft certain special items or substitute Power Core Type VI.
With Treasure Appraiser: Oh dear, buddy, don’t mess around with this! It’s too hot! Recommend giving it to a robot or Intelligent Humanoid for an awesome effect.]
"Not bad." Li Zheng bent over to pick up the Molten Core, a spherical object about the size of a Power Core, looking slightly crude, as if begging to be polished.
"Unexpectedly, even though the Molten Fire Giant Beast was blown away, it left behind such an item, making up for the loss."
Li Zheng said with satisfaction as he wandered around the pit’s bottom; besides some scattered obsidian blocks and a few small pools of magma, he found nothing else of value, so he promptly flapped the Thunder Wings and flew out of the pit.
At this moment, a terminal prompt popped up.
[You have a new designated trade.]
"Xiao Chun is quick, has the Earth Dragon Armor been completed already?" Li Zheng casually opened the trade hall and indeed found the items sent by Li Chun.
He took them out and almost had his eyes pop out.
"Oh my! Isn’t this so cool? How much extra material did the little girl secretly add?"
