Chapter 414: Power of the Stars
The silicon giant caught the flying hammer and stared at the light on the opposite side. After observing for a few seconds, his huge face like a crystal was full of surprise.
"I don't like talking to people who hide their heads and show their tails." Gang Kui's eyes were cautious.
"Hehe..."
Ji Xinghuo chuckled.
Then, the vague human figure became condensed and real, and the shape expanded rapidly. A pair of big feet stepped on the ground, and thick and crystal armor grew on his body. He was tall and majestic, holding a purple crystal hammer in his hand, and his whole body was full of explosive power.
Gang Kui was stunned. The other party turned into his own appearance, a silicon giant.
Not only did the appearance look exactly the same, but even the weapons were the same.
"Mimicry..."
Gang Kui naturally recognized what this ability was, but he had never seen such a high level of mimicry. Not only did it simulate the appearance, but it even copied the physical strength.
His expression sank, "Who are you?"
"A nobody." Ji Xinghuo certainly wouldn't tell him, "Who I am doesn't matter, the key is whether you want the Lord of the Earth's Crust?"
Gang Kui was silent for a few seconds, and finally couldn't help asking, "Can you find it?"
He could guess that the Lord of the Earth's Crust Ji Xinghuo was referring to was the Earthquake Earth Devourer, but now it has run away.
Ji Xinghuo replied, "If you are willing to cooperate with me, it is not difficult to get the Lord of the Earth's Crust, and it can even be said to be very simple."
The Lord of the Earth's Crust is very strong.
Even among the star-falling abilities, the Lord of the Earth's Crust is the top one, but it is obviously not suitable for him.
It is not suitable for Qinghong and Jiuyou.
Ji Xinghuo had thought before that if he got the Lord of the Earth's Crust, he would probably only be able to sell it for money or trade it, so he didn't have a strong motivation to hunt the Earth Devourer. If he couldn't get it, forget it.
Now he can lock the location of the Earth Devourer, but he can't kill it. It just so happens that the silicon giant Gang Kui has quietly returned, so he can cooperate.
Gang Kui can also burrow underground and control gravity, which is the nemesis of the Earth Devourer.
Of course, the initiative must be in your own hands.
"What do you want?" Gang Kui asked.
This mysterious man took the initiative to show up and talk about cooperation with me. Of course, he is not here to do good things. I have to pay a price.
"Exchange."
Ji Xinghuo answered as a matter of course, "You take equivalent alien species or treasures to exchange for the Lord of the Earth's Crust."
Gang Kui immediately refused, "I guess the next cooperation will require me to do a lot to kill the Earth Devouring Worm, and you just found it. The Lord of the Earth's Crust originally has half of me, but I want to exchange it with something of equal value. Do you think I am a fool?"
The silicon giant transformed by Ji Xinghuo smiled calmly, "Then forget it."
After that, his figure faded into the shadows.
"Wait a minute."
Qui-Gon was very annoyed, "How can you talk about a deal like this? We have to discuss it for a few rounds and everyone compromises."
"The premise of compromise is that both parties have equal bargaining chips, but now you are asking me for something." Ji Xinghuo was unmoved.
Qui-Gon was speechless.
Ji Xinghuo's words hit the nail on the head. Now he really wanted the Lord of the Earth's Crust. This star-falling alien was too important to him. He got the news from the "Extreme Dragon Domain" a few days ago, and immediately jumped thousands of miles to the Black Ring Star, just for the Lord of the Earth's Crust.
He is the "Land Overlord" and has a huge body. He can perfectly exert the power of the Lord of the Earth's Crust, which is also of great help to the impact of the Shepherd Star Saint.
As long as he can get the Lord of the Earth's Crust, he is willing to pay a higher price.
"I will offer 10,000 ether crystals." Gang Kui said.
"You can also buy it with ether crystals, the price is 100,000." Ji Xinghuo directly gave his offer.
Kui Gang almost choked.
If he had 100,000 ether crystals, he would not have to go through so much trouble. He could just offer a reward to buy the Lord of the Earth's Crust.
Although 100,000 ether crystals cannot buy the Eclipse alien, most of the aliens below the Eclipse are fine. It just depends on luck. Sometimes you have to wait a little longer before someone sells the alien you want.
"I'm a pauper." Qui-Gon spread his hands. "Except for this amethyst gravity hammer, I only have a few thousand ether crystals on my body. I don't have any other treasures. You don't care about other bits and pieces."
Ji Xinghuo's eyes fell on his heavy hammer.
This is a three-star weapon of Apocalypse. If it is used to exchange for the Lord of the Earth's Crust, it must be more than enough.
"The amethyst gravity hammer is the treasure of the silicon giants. I advise you not to take it." Qui-Gon's eyes became alert and dangerous.
Ji Xinghuo retracted his gaze.
He didn't believe that a strong man who was at the third stage of the king of heaven and close to the peak of the sixth level couldn't even take out a treasure equivalent to the meteorite alien.
Gun Kui was obviously crying poor and bargaining in disguise.
The two silicon giants looked at each other for a while. Ji Xinghuo didn't speak. Qui-Gon was embarrassed to be seen through.
"Okay." Qui-Gon was very helpless. "I'll exchange the meteorite alien. How about the gravity field?"
He took out a translucent stone ball full of holes from the secret compartment of his belt.
Ji Xinghuo also has this alien species.
Not to mention that he doesn't need it at all, the value of the gravity field is far less than that of the Lord of the Earth's Crust, and after killing the Earthquake Devourer, he can collect another gravity field from its corpse.
Ji Xinghuo frowned, "Is this your sincerity?"
"Just a joke, haha..." Qui-Gon hurriedly explained, "I only have this meteorite alien species, nothing else. Who would carry a meteorite alien species on their body for no reason? They would have sold it or exchanged it for something useful long ago."
"It seems that our cooperation cannot be negotiated." Ji Xinghuo shook his head.
"Don't worry."
Qui Gang called him, "Although I don't have the Starfall Alien now, give me some time, I am sure I can get the alien to exchange with you, and it is a very precious Starfall Alien, you will not refuse."
"What alien?"
"Silicon phase change armor and the power of the stars." Qui Gang stretched out two fingers, "You can only choose one of these two Starfall Alien."
Ji Xinghuo immediately became interested.
He knew that the first "Silicon Phase Change Armor" was an advanced ability of the Silicon Giant's racial talent "Silicon Crystal Armor".
This is a very powerful defensive ability with dual physical and energy protection, especially in physical defense. Silicon phase change armor uses the principle of phase change materials, absorbs kinetic energy impact and energy through phase transfer, and then releases it, which in turn causes damage to the enemy.
The crystal armor on Qui Gang's body is silicon phase change armor.
In the battle just now, he used his body to withstand the attacks of the Halo Warriors many times without any injury, relying on this silicon phase change armor.
As for the "power of the stars", Ji Xinghuo had never heard of it.
"What is the power of the stars?"
Qui-Gon was a little surprised, "You don't know?"
Ji Xinghuo shook his head.
Qui-Gon looked at him meaningfully, "The power of the stars is the best power-based ability. It can increase your strength. As long as your body can bear it, there is no upper limit to the increase of the power of the stars."
As he spoke, he raised his right foot and stepped.
Boom!
The ground shook violently, and a pure force was transmitted out, leaving a footprint more than one meter deep, and countless gravels within hundreds of meters jumped up.
"This is the power of the power of the stars!" Qui-Gon was extremely confident in his own strength, and raised the big hammer in his hand again, and said proudly: "Without the power of the stars, I can't swing the purple crystal gravity hammer."
"I want them all." Ji Xinghuo said.
Qui-Gon immediately shook his head: "I said, you can only choose one." There was a bit of pride on his face.
Ji Xinghuo understood it all at once.
This was Qui-Gon's negotiation tactic, throwing out the Starfall alien species as bait, and in turn it became that he needed him.
"Then I want the power of the stars." Ji Xinghuo made a choice, but in his heart, he was also very interested in the silicon phase change armor. Even if he couldn't use it himself, he could give it to his family, friends and Qinghong for a try.
Now Qui-Gon was unwilling to trade, and he would find a way later.
"Okay."
Qui-Gon was a little surprised that Ji Xinghuo gave up the silicon phase change armor so quickly and was not controlled by him.
Ji Xinghuo said again: "Except for the Lord of the Earth's Crust, the rest of its alien species belong to me."
"Take them all if you want." Qui-Gon nodded.
"I will keep the Lord of the Earth's Crust. When you get the power of the stars, come and exchange it with me." Ji Xinghuo certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to give the alien species first, pinning his hopes on the credit of others, and finally suffer a loss.
However, unexpectedly, Qui-Gon had no objection to this, but just snorted, "I never regret what I promised."
Ji Xinghuo did not comment.
Maybe Qui-Gon is such a person, but I can't trust him completely.
Any promise from anyone doesn't count, only the things I can decide count.
"Where is the Earth Devourer?" After the conversation, Qui-Gon couldn't wait to ask.
Ji Xinghuo pointed to the south.
"Lead the way."
Qui-Gon went underground and moved quickly. For him, moving underground was much easier than flying, and it was also safer and more concealed.
Ji Xinghuo turned back into a ball of dim light and dived into the shadows.
He didn't completely hide his breath, and appeared every few kilometers so that Qui-Gon could catch up.
The Earth Devourer was actually not far away. It dragged its seriously injured body underground at a slow speed. The distance was less than 200 kilometers. It mainly went deep into the earth's crust, and then lurked motionless, absorbing energy to recover from its injuries.
Soon, Ji Xinghuo stopped.
All around was a plain wasteland. He looked at his feet and clearly sensed that Qinghong was below, but his electromagnetic induction and dark perspective could not see the Earth Devourer, which was completely blocked.
The crust of the Black Ring Star is much thicker than that of the Earth, with an average depth of more than 30 kilometers.
The deeper the crust, the greater the temperature and pressure.
Theoretically, a person with the Lord of the Crust can move freely in the crust and even reach the mantle, but the body cannot withstand such terrible pressure. Even if it has been reduced by most of the superpowers, it is still far beyond the upper limit.
At this time, the Earth Devourer is about 12 kilometers from the ground, which is the maximum depth it can stay for a long time.
Qui-Gon floated up from the ground, "Is it down there?"
Ji Xinghuo nodded.
"Depth 17 dragon distances."
The dragon distance is a unit of length in the True Dragon Dynasty. It originally referred to the distance that a newly born young True Dragon could glide with one flap of its wings. Later, it was strictly defined that 1 dragon distance is approximately equal to 709 meters on Earth.
All the aliens and races living in the True Dragon Dynasty are familiar with this unit of length and often use it.
"So deep!" Qui-Gon's face was solemn. "With my strength, I can only last less than half a star hour at a depth of 17 dragon distances."
"I will be responsible for locating it for you, and you force it to the surface." Ji Xinghuo said, "As long as it reaches the ground, I will cover the battle, and we can kill it quickly together. As for how to force it up, this is your responsibility."
I cooperated with Qui-Gon to let him solve this problem.
"Let me think about it."
Qui-Gon thought about it for a few minutes and nodded slightly, as if he had thought of a solution and was very confident.
He took out a finely polished crystal and threw it to Ji Xinghuo.
"Give me guidance."
Qui-Gon sank into the ground.
Ji Xinghuo immediately understood the use of the crystal. It was similar to the audio-visual bracelet. It could synchronize its own induction with Qui-Gon within a short distance and guide him to the position of the earthworm.
Qui-Gon quickly sank deep into the earth's crust and soon exceeded the sensing range.
Under the guidance of Ji Xinghuo, he silently approached Qinghong's position and his speed slowed down.
A few minutes later.
Qi-Gon sensed the changes from Qinghong, which were very intense, and took action.
Ji Xinghuo vaguely heard the vibrations from the ground, and the gravity under his feet also changed, but he didn't know what the specific situation was. Qinghong couldn't see the battle outside in the body of the earthworm.
Soon after the battle, Qui-Gon gained the upper hand and seemed to control the earthworm to rise to the ground.
But the speed of ascent was very slow.
During this period, the Earth Devourer struggled and fought back frantically, escaping again and again. Under the guidance of Ji Xinghuo, Qui-Gon chased it and suppressed it again, getting closer and closer to the ground.
"Fortunately, the Earth Devourer was seriously injured and has not recovered yet, otherwise it would be difficult for Qui-Gon to control it."
Ji Xinghuo was refreshed.
For a full half hour, the vibrations from the ground became more and more violent and closer, and the gravity sometimes surged and sometimes weakened. The gravity field within a radius of one kilometer became very chaotic. Finally, with a bang, a huge monster was pushed out of the ground.
The body of the Earth Devourer only recovered a little. It was bound by the invisible gravity and struggled desperately, but to no avail.
The silicon giant Qui-Gon raised his hands high, and his muscles bulged all over his body.
He held the Earth Devourer weighing more than 3,000 tons, slowly rose out of the ground, and then stepped on the ground and shouted loudly, and the gravity field burst out with all his strength.
"I'm here!"
Ji Xinghuo waved his hand to release the lightless black domain, covering the sky, but leaving enough holes inside to not affect Qui-Gon's vision.
At the same time, a dark energy vortex field appeared in mid-air, sucking the Earth Devourer upwards.
This greatly reduced Qui-Gon's pressure.
The Earth Devourer was immediately dragged out of the ground and cut off from contact with the earth.
Qui-Gon raised his hand and clenched it, instantly reversing the direction of gravity and turning it into repulsion, pulling against the Earth Devourer's gravity control, and fixing it in mid-air, neither going up nor down.
Ji Xinghuo's body turned into a black wave, and liquid black fire wrapped around the Earth Devourer, corroding its crystal armor and flesh. Once it could not draw energy from the earth, the Earth Devourer's strength plummeted, and it could not withstand the killing of the "Cold Flame Wave".
The Earth Devourer screamed in pain, but could not break free.
Its cry became weaker and weaker.
The crystal armor was completely corroded, and Qinghong took the opportunity to run out of the Earth Devourer's body and merged into Ji Xinghuo's torrent, while the Earth Devourer's body was corroded smaller and smaller, and finally only four or five meters long, and gradually no movement.
The torrent rolled back, and Ji Xinghuo instantly turned into a silicon giant, raised the simulated purple crystal gravity hammer and smashed it.
With a bang.
The remains of the earth-eating worm exploded into blood plasma, splashing on Ji Xinghuo's body.
His left hand scooped in the gray-white blood plasma, accurately grasped an organ with a strange appearance, and the interface popped up in his vision.
[Alien: Lord of the Earth's Crust]
[Grade: Meteorite]
[Fusion success rate: 63%, 71%, 16%]
[Can it be upgraded: Yes]
Ji Xinghuo hovered in the air and looked at the alien in his hand, which was the Lord of the Earth's Crust!
