Simple

Gao'erlufeisiteda is a god of evil in African legend who kills without blinking. Its birth was born from the various slaughters of humanity—for survival, for wealth, for greed. The African continent was once a living slaughterhouse. What do the things here fear most? Natural predators? No, they fear humans. Under the weapons of humanity, any survival skill is meaningless...

It was precisely because of human slaughter that Gao'erlufeisiteda was able to manifest. It fulfilled the wishes of the animals. In just a few short weeks, the human population on the African continent plummeted. Humans had now become someone else's prey. Resistance, struggle, and flight were all meaningless before Gao'erlufeisiteda. Its speed, its strength, and its rage became the most terrifying nightmare for the people...

The only thing to be thankful for was that Gao'erlufeisiteda disappeared after two months, and the African continent returned to peace. Now, people understood what had provoked its rage. They did not return to the frenzied hunting of animals. With conscious effort, people made choices: farming and other new ways of life were created. They no longer needed to rely solely on hunting to survive.

Although there were still hunters who did not follow the rules, they now had to face the people of the African continent, who had been deeply influenced by Gao'erlufeisiteda—warriors wearing bull-head masks and carrying bows and arrows. They now fought for the animals.

Huang Ming had already finished assimilating the Flame Meteor, and he had now arrived near Gao'erlufeisiteda. His task was to prevent the lightning from attacking Ming Jian and Kuo Ming. This was an extremely difficult job, but there was no help for it; his own ability was exactly what this line of work required.

"Is the number of challengers three? The maximum limit is... well, you brought this upon yourselves, so let us begin! If you win, the item is yours. If you lose, you must choose one person to lose half their power," Gao'erlufeisiteda said loudly to Ming Jian and the others.

Heming felt strange. What did it mean by a challenge? Wasn't this a conscious confrontation? Perhaps he would have to ask clearly later.

"Ah, no problem, let's go!" Ming Jian answered Gao'erlufeisiteda's question quite easily.

"Abyss Pain Strike!" Ming Jian's ultimate technique. With four black trails, Ming Jian whistled toward Gao'erlufeisiteda. Heming didn't even know what was happening with an attack of such speed. Even Gao'erlufeisiteda was taken aback; although he could see the path of Ming Jian's attack clearly, he couldn't grasp the timing of Ming Jian's strike at all.

"Hey, don't just look at one side, there's me too! Snake Pride Dragon!" Seeing that Gao'erlufeisiteda wasn't paying attention to him, Kuo Ming quickly unleashed his ultimate technique. His soft sword underwent a startling transformation; in an instant, it turned into a dragon and charged toward Gao'erlufeisiteda. This was a long-range attack. Kuo Ming stood in place, brandishing the giant dragon, while the dragon continuously attacked Gao'erlufeisiteda from the right.

The lightning had already begun to gather when Ming Jian attacked, but every time it gathered to a certain degree, it would be surrounded and assimilated by a blue light. This seemed to be Huang Ming's ability.

"Fire Thunder Strike!" Gao'erlufeisiteda's finishing move. Gao'erlufeisiteda was now out of options; he couldn't withstand the combined attack of Ming Jian and Kuo Ming at all, so he had to use his finishing move immediately.

Three avian arms rapidly gathered thunder-fire energy. A massive energy shield formed around Gao'erlufeisiteda, causing Ming Jian and Kuo Ming's attacks to be unable to directly harm him.

"That's the finishing move, right? Then it's almost over. Kuo Ming, this time I'll take it; let me show you my new toy." Ming Jian retracted his continuous special technique and stood directly in front of Gao'erlufeisiteda.

Kuo Ming nodded and moved to Huang Ming's side. Together with Huang Ming, he assimilated the increasingly violent lightning.

Fire Thunder Strike was a concentrated mass of energy that formed a triangular projectile with extreme lethality. Its primary attributes were fire and thunder, though it also carried a certain physical explosive property. If one could neutralize its fire-thunder attribute, the vast majority of its lethality could be dismantled.

"In fact, as I am now, I don't need to exert any effort against fire-thunder type techniques. A few days ago, before I arrived in Japan, I killed the Asian Fire God, Dentorbentes, all by myself in a certain place. His essence of power, the Flame Shield, is in my hands. I think, Gao'erlufeisiteda, you wouldn't be unaware of what the Flame Shield is used for, right? If you insist on trying it out, then it will be you who spends several months recovering from the injuries!" Ming Jian stepped closer to Gao'erlufeisiteda, step by step. He took out the Flame Shield, and the Chopping Sword he had originally been holding transformed into a bolt of lightning...

"Good man, you actually killed Dentorbentes? I didn't expect that. No wonder you wanted to go alone!" Kuo Ming joked with Huang Ming in the sky. The two of them were assimilating the lightning without needing to expend much effort at all. They watched the confrontation between Ming Jian and Gao'erlufeisiteda from the sky in complete comfort.

Gao'erlufeisiteda did not stop. Perhaps, like Dentorbentes, it would not give up even if it were severely wounded, for the sake of its dignity as a god.

"Fire Thunder Strike!" A massive triangle shot out directly. The trajectory of the triangle carried immense thunder-fire energy; this was pure energy that only a god could use directly.

"Flame Shield!" Ming Jian controlled the Flame Shield with his energy, blocking it in front of him. The fire energy was absorbed; the absorption speed was very fast. What passed through was the thunder energy.

"Thunder Rain Freeze!" Ming Jian's Chopping Sword turned into countless raindrops and rushed forward. Gao'erlufeisiteda's Fire Thunder Strike was actually broken so easily. The Flame Shield's special ability activated, reflecting three times the fire attack, though Ming Jian's ultimate move merely dispersed the lightning energy.

Gao'erlufeisiteda used all his energy to block the energy reflected by the Flame Shield, but under the intense impact, serious injury was inevitable.

"Human, you are very lucky. This time, I count it as my failure. The essence of power I possess, the Source of Control—that is, the use of pure energy—I shall give it to you!" Gao'erlufeisiteda returned to his original form, handed a necklace to Ming Jian, and then vanished.

"Ha, this is my second high-level divine artifact. Damn it, it's a pity it won't belong to me for long. Kuo Ming, Huang Ming, let's go first; there are still things to do later!" Ming Jian put away the necklace and called for Kuo Ming and Huang Ming to leave.

Ming Jian led the team members to continue toward the place where Heming had discovered the Machine Monster, and Heming also turned back and ran toward the tents...

Just how strong Pitch Black was, Heming didn't dare to think about it now.

Two days later in Okinawa, Qiming and Rie returned to the company. By this time, Qiming had already returned; he had been sitting in his boss's chair for a long time. This was perhaps truly one of his hobbies.

"You're quite lucky, actually being able to see a battle against a god with your own eyes. Haha, though you probably only saw shadows most of the time, right? Hey, it's fine, it's fine; you'll get used to it in time. Alright, do your mission report!" Qiming said to Heming with a grin.

Heming took out the Demon Sealing Bead and handed it to Qiming, then said, "This is what I found inside the alien's Machine Monster. I can't be sure what this is." After saying this, he took out a detailed mission report and handed it to Qiming. This report had been written by Rie.

Qiming carefully finished reading Rie's report and then said to Rie, "Not bad, you actually took down two J-14 aliens. When you go to collect your rewards later, take an extra two months' worth of magic pills. Alright, you two rest for a few days; I'll call you when there's a mission. Remember to go get your prizes first!" Qiming looked at the Demon Sealing Bead in his hand and concluded the report.

Heming collected the rewards for this mission at the item storage: two Thorny Black Roses and one Magic Pill. The Magic Pill must have been the extra gift Qiming mentioned.

Upon returning to their residence, Rie swallowed the Magic Pill. Assimilating the magic power would take about five minutes. In those five minutes, Heming had enough time to melt the black roses.

The first black rose melted, and what appeared was actually a pair of black silk gloves.

"Congratulations to this lucky team member for obtaining the Space Gloves. These Space Gloves can provide a storage space with a ten-meter range. You can put any item inside, and you can take it out at any time. The method to take it out is very simple: just think about the item you want to take out. If the item is inside the storage space, the item you thought of will appear. When putting things in, just touch the item and then think about it. Wishing the team member a pleasant experience!" This item was neither good nor bad, but it wasn't bad either. Well, give it to Rie.

Next, the second black rose melted. Ha, this one was a big guy—a magic staff?

"Congratulations to this lucky team member for obtaining the pseudo-divine artifact, the Black Wood Staff. The ability of this staff is to reduce magic power consumption by ten percent, increase magic intensity, and have a certain chance to trigger direct casting. Wishing the team member a pleasant experience." He really hadn't expected that both items would be useless to Heming. Rie had already assimilated the Magic Pill, and she looked at the staff and gloves in Heming's hands with a grin.

After Heming handed the items to Rie, the phone rang.

"Hello, is this Heming? It's me, Deng. I'm in the new commercial district in the United States. Miss, go ask for some time off and come to me. Yes, remember to bring Rie with you. I have something fun happening here!"

"Ask for time off? How do I ask for time off?"

"Dizzy, have you never asked for time off before? You go to your team leader later, explain where you are going, who you are going with, and then say roughly how long you will be gone. Yes, ask for two months first."

"Oh, what are we going for? Can you tell me now?"

"Ah! You'll know when you get here. Anyway, it's definitely something fun!"

"Oh, alright then. I'll come over tomorrow. I'll call you when I get there. No problem, right?"

"Fine, then I'll hang up first. Remember to call me when you get here!"

"Okay!"

After Heming put away his phone, he said to Rie, "Zeng and Deng called us to go to Miss. He said something fun is happening and told us to ask for time off first. Are you going?"

Rie put down the staff in her hand, looked up at Heming, and said, "Yes, I'm going. When are we leaving?"

"Probably tomorrow?"
