Starship Gunner

Gem City.

Ruins Area.

In a forest filled with the fragrant scent of Xiang Nan Tree.

Hordes of Aether Dragon Eater swarmed in.

A short while later.

They all perished under the "Qi Wandering Six Voids".

They have the fragrance extracted from the Xiang Nan Tree.

Roger seemed to transform into a mosquito-killing lamp, opening the Qi Aperture in his hands, letting the air flow out and then slowly retracting.

In the back and forth.

It has taken the lives of countless monsters.

This efficiency is undeniably high.

However, compared to the massive number of Aether Dragon Eater, it seems like a drop in the ocean.

One hour ago.

Roger stood on the treetop, looking out over the surrounding area.

What came into view was a swarm of Aether Dragon Eater that blotted out the sky.

They were like locusts in a swarm, greedily consuming the esoteric energy that was surging, especially the energy that was causing the mutation of humans.

At the beginning.

The large-scale appearance of the Aether Dragon Eater horde has caused panic among the surface inhabitants.

But very quickly.

To everyone's surprise, these monsters could actually help them resist the demonic tide and reduce the probability of mutation.

This brought tears of joy to everyone's eyes.

However, not long after.

This joy then turned into fear and sorrow!

The Aether Dragon Eater, having devoured the "abnormality," began to become extremely aggressive.

Their size is increasing, their level is rising, and their numbers are increasing at a visible rate!

Roger also witnessed two Aether Dragon Eater fighting each other.

Ultimately, one side emerged victorious.

The victors devoured the corpses of the losers, completing a round of evolution.

Its name was changed to "Aether Demon Dragon".

The Aether Demon Dragon is a level 2 monster, and its size is two to three times larger than before.

It resembles a ferocious drone, launching attacks on any living creatures or structures in the vicinity.

In the end, it is the surface inhabitants who suffer.

They thought they had escaped the great calamity of the demonic tide, but now they have to face such terrifying monsters!

Roger could only do his best in this regard.

He killed the Aether Demon Dragon, but he couldn't stop more Aether Demon Dragon from being born.

In actual combat...

He discovered that the scent of Xiang Nan Tree still held a fatal attraction for satiated Ether Dragon.

So they used this place as a base and tried to lure all the monsters in the surrounding area over.

"Kill as many as you can!"

On the data panel.

The progress bar is advancing rapidly.

The Qi Wandering Six Voids.

That night.

Roger slew 3,600 Aether Dragon Eater! But under the surging demonic tide...

The Aether Dragon Eater is reproducing at an increasingly rapid rate!...

Two weeks later.

It remains a desolate, uninhabited Ruins Area.

With a loud bang.

A monster, 14 meters long and 3 meters tall, crashed to the ground.

Roger's figure swept past it like a gentle breeze, his hands fluttering like butterflies among flowers.

Under the repeated blows of the Shattering Palm.

The monster has finally been completely defeated!

"You have killed 1 Aether Tyrant Dragon, bringing your total Aether Dragon Eater killed to 40,491."

You have gained 39 XP points.

"Your Nerve Reflex Speed have been slightly improved."

call.

Looking at the collapsed houses next to them.

Roger let out a long sigh of relief.

The muscular underlings next to them were also exhausted.

They went to great lengths to kill this Ether Aether Tyrant Dragon!

First, they used bait to lure it down from the air.

Then his underlings swarmed him and used brute force to pin him to the ground.

Then Roger delivered a powerful, long-awaited slide tackle, dealing him a devastating blow! Shattering Palm finished him off.

After this battle...

The relevant progress bar is approaching 40%.

But there was not a trace of joy on Roger's face.

Because the Aether Dragon Eater are evolving faster and faster!

Through mutual cannibalism, they completed a series of evolutionary processes.

From the lowest level Aether Dragon Eater, to the 2nd level Aether Demon Dragon, and then to the 3rd level Aether Tyrant Dragon.

This monster is becoming increasingly terrifying! And in the process...

Their resistance to air is also becoming stronger and stronger.

Those who eat dragons die upon contact with their breath.

The dragon can jump around for another five or six seconds;

The Tyrannosaurus Rex had developed a substantial outer shell and possessed extremely strong flight capabilities.

When the Shattering Palm can't reach it.

The only option was to have someone pull it down and then slide it down.

"The Magic Abundance is decreasing."

"The first wave of the demonic tide has passed, but we don't know how fierce the second wave will be."

Roger looked at the thermometer-like prop in his hand.

The number above has decreased from 260 yesterday to 140.

This process is accompanied by...

The activity level of the Ether Dragon is also decreasing.

High-level Ether Dragon possess the ability to become invisible, and they chose to lie low when the demonic tide subsided.

This is actually not good news.

Who knows what they'll evolve into when they come back?

Looking at the abundance meter in my hand.

Roger couldn't help but look up at the sky.

The sky was overcast, and only Truth Mountain could be vaguely seen; the six floating islands were not even clearly visible.

The earth's surface is in such a state.

The gentlemen of the Truth Society remain unmoved.

"I wonder how Shar is doing."

A thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Magic Abundance continues to decline.

By the eighteenth day after the demonic tide, the level had almost returned to the same level as before.

No more Ether Dragon can be seen on the surface of the earth.

The survivors came out of their houses and began to celebrate.

Roger, however, led his men into the Underground City of the Ruins Area.

The Ruins Area of Gem City are a very dangerous place.

When management is strict.

Only highly skilled professionals are allowed to enter.

This place has many Underground City, which contain relics from many generations.

The majority of these are from the Tallen Era.

As for the relics left behind by the Ether Society, they were all collected on the Truth Mountain.

During those days on the floating island.

Roger borrowed many books through Shar's connections and gained some understanding of the Ruins Area.

The Ruins Area into upper and lower levels.

The upper level includes nineteen Underground City of varying sizes.

It's basically been developed to the point of being almost complete.

Many Martial Arts Manual have been passed down from these ruins.

They gave rise to a group of Martial Artist who occupied the "New District" of Gem City.

The Pingsha School's legacy that Alan received also came from an Underground City in the upper district.

However, after careful research...

Based on the map given by A Ba, Roger deduced that the headquarters of the Clear Spring Sect Mountain Gate was located in the more dangerous lower area! Taking advantage of the fact that the Ether Dragon were somewhat restrained.

He's planning to visit his own sect!

After acquiring the Ultimate Hunter and the Sixth Sense.

Even the most complex Underground City couldn't trouble Roger.

After the demonic tide occurred.

The upper floors, which are usually crowded, are usually deserted.

Roger made it through without any trouble.

The monsters along the way were all dealt with by the underlings.

The only minor incident was...

At the boundary between the upper and lower districts, he encountered a deformed Martial Artist! The man had a thick tumor on his neck.

Its eyes were dull and lifeless, and it charged at people with bared teeth and claws as soon as it saw them.

Roger sighed inwardly.

He took two quick steps forward and arrived in front of the "Mutated Martial Artist"! This was the skill from the level 32 Hidden Hero: Ground Shrinking to Inch!

"Ground Shrinking to Inch (177): Within the visible range, the actual distance you cover with each step is 277% of the normal distance."

This is a very useful skill.

For example, right now.

Roger used a combination of "Ground Shrinking to Inch + Knee Strike + Mountain Splitting Fist" to send his already mentally unstable colleague to his death.

"You killed a Mutated Martial Artist."

You have gained 1 XP point.

Your Xia Yin Value -10

"Huh?"

Roger was completely baffled.

Immediately afterwards.

"You have killed a Martial Artist, achieving a new milestone: Harm Comrades."

"Harm Comrades: Martial Artist Martial Artist n't kill each other, let alone their own brothers."

"Corresponding title: The Good at Bullying the Weak (Damage to friendly units +50%)"

"He's actually Clear Spring Sect Disciple."

Roger was shocked.

He used his Qi Divination Technique to check and found that this Mutated Martial Artist did indeed master a martial art of the Clear Spring Sect, but he probably did not receive the complete inheritance.

Otherwise, with the protection of "qi", the other party would never become a mutated monster.

In response to this.

Roger could only sigh softly.

He had his underlings find a propitious burial site and buried their fellow disciple there.

Then, following the map's guidance, he arrived at the bottom of the upper area.

It was a bottomless underground lake! The water was icy cold and deep.

Furthermore, there are restrictions similar to those imposed on the Deep Sea Domain.

This prevents the vast majority of Adventurers from venturing into it.

It is said that even members of the Truth Society have repeatedly encountered setbacks here.

Roger removed the Black Coffin, and his underlings tactfully crawled inside. The gargoyle let out a howl and followed, then skillfully slipped into Roger's arms.

After a complete set of retreat maneuvers.

Roger was left alone by the lake, lightly armed.

He then took out the water-repelling bead.

After wrapping it in two layers of airtight silk, it was then put into the mouth.

With a thud.

Roger enters the water.

The splashes of water were quite beautiful.

The lake water was deep and cold.

But Roger, protected by the water-repelling pearl, thrived just like a fish in water.

Using my Sixth Sense.

He successfully avoided the territories of several creatures suspected to be high-level monsters.

Ultimately, they dived deeper and deeper.

During the descent.

Roger saw many porcelain pieces and statues.

They're all classic Taren style.

There are many bioluminescent algae attached to it.

It's really beautiful.

"The map shows this should be the direction."

Roger nimbly swam over a rockery.

They were preparing to crawl into a deep cave.

At that moment, there was an anomaly in the data column.

"Sixth Sense: You've discovered a ' Starship Drop Pod '."

Roger's heart skipped a beat.

They crept towards the artificial hill.

He parted the clumps of algae, and a strange symbol was revealed before him.

Below the logo is a fairly large box.

Roger summoned the gargoyle and swallowed it.

Then, without hesitation, he swam into the depths of the tunnel.

One hour later.

Beside a small lake, Roger burst out of the water and spat out Water Aversion Pearl with a "pui" sound.

"Hint: You have discovered the Clear Spring Sect's headquarters."

Shi Xiaogang obediently spat out the Black Coffin and the "Starship Drop Pod".

Roger circled the Drop Pod, pondered for a moment, and finally took out his Gunslinger License, trying to swipe it in the groove next to it.

The next second.

The Drop Pod opens automatically.

A thick, large object was exposed.

Hint: You have discovered the Starship Light Prism Cannon.

"You have acquired a new profession: Starship Gunner"
