Women Are Like Wolves (1)
This is a good habit that Li Wei has maintained since becoming a reincarnator, especially in this completely unfamiliar environment, where it is even more necessary.
Li Wei knew that this time he was entering a mission issued by Kai Star Shadow Street, which meant that it would be very different from the missions he had experienced before. As for the specific differences, he didn't know yet. However, from the mission prompts, Li Wei had already figured out some clues.
First, this is a mission called 'Cruel Killing Ground,' which, as the name suggests, is a mission whose main objective is to kill enemies. There are 32 people entering the mission, which should refer to the reincarnators. Of course, the reincarnators here include aliens, including the Kai Star people, and naturally, I am also among the 32 people.
The task had previously divided the 32 people into different teams of two, and I and another person were assigned to team 7.
Thinking of this, Li Wei stretched out his palm and examined it carefully. He then began to check his arms and thighs, and finally felt a small bump on the back of his neck. Li Wei quickly took out a mirror from his storage space and used the principle of reflection to see what was on the back of his neck.
The number '7'.
"Is this what they call the team member brand? Holy crap, it really is branded on." Li Wei looked at the 7-shaped scar on his neck, speechless. But it was for mission purposes, and it should heal after the mission was over.
"So, it seems my other teammate also has a similar mark." Li Wei put the mirror away and continued analyzing the mission.
Similarly, Li Wei wrote down everything he considered valuable on Black Paper.
"The mission requirements are either to find the 'artifact' hidden within the 'First Layer of God's Ruins,' or to kill four other team members. Completing either one will be considered mission completion. Even a fool would understand the importance of that 'artifact.' Moreover, this so-called artifact is absolutely unique... Those who cannot obtain the artifact will have no choice but to kill. After 72 hours, those who haven't obtained the artifact or haven't killed enough people will be eliminated. And this doesn't even include those killed earlier. Based on this calculation, the survival rate for this mission is pitifully low; in the end, it's estimated that fewer than seven people will survive."
Li Wei twirled the black pen in his fingers, his mind racing. "Furthermore, the kill count only applies if someone from another team is killed. This must be a rule designed to encourage cooperation between two people in a team."
"Therefore, the primary task is to find my teammates. Otherwise, if my teammates are killed, I will be all alone." Thinking of this, Li Wei pinched his fingers, and the black pen in his hand turned into black mist, which entered the Black Paper. Then, Li Wei put the Black Paper away.
At this moment, Li Wei suddenly realized that the 'Kai Motherbody' that he had been holding in his hand before entering the mission was gone. He checked the storage space in the Black Paper but couldn't find it either. However, Li Wei did find that there was a diamond-shaped protrusion on his wrist.
It feels somewhat hard to the touch, and is only about the size of a fingernail.
Li Wei immediately used his Eye of Perception to investigate, but was startled by what he saw.
"Kai Motherbody, Item, Physique Enhancement Type, Rating: Merged, Can Trigger Kai Star Bloodline Transformation"
Transformation?
Li Wei was taken aback at first, then chuckled. Without a doubt, this hard armor that seemed to grow on his wrist was the 'Kai Motherbody,' but how to trigger it?
After thinking for a moment, Li Wei stretched out his finger and touched it. A soft light emanated from the small armor plate, and then Li Wei discovered that a layer of hard armor was rapidly growing on his skin.
The process was incredibly fast; before Li Wei could even react, he was completely covered in a layer of armor.
Li Wei felt that he had grown taller, but he felt no discomfort. The armor was like skin, growing out of his body. He quickly took out the mirror from before, and Li Wei was shocked to find that he had turned into a Kai Star person.
The armor was dark in color, but not dull; rather, it had a unique metallic texture, like a frosted metal shell. In addition, there were many runes on some parts of the armor.
"I've actually become a Kai Star person?" Li Wei didn't know what to say, but soon he understood.
This must be a special treatment for the 'Destroyer'. When Destroyer controls a new star system and upgrades it, they immediately receive a 'reward'—a kind of perk for the Destroyer. Otherwise, wouldn't the Destroyer get nothing for putting in Great Strength to upgrade another star system? Even if the energy used to upgrade the star system was collected from the other star system, the Destroyer still contributed some effort; wouldn't it be unreasonable not to reward them with something?
The 'Kai Motherbody' is the 'reward' Li Wei received after upgrading to Kai Star.
Having figured this out, Li Wei felt relieved. He tried picking up a stone, and with a gentle squeeze of his palm, the stone was crushed into powder.
"Not bad, I wonder how much this enhancement will improve my combat power?" Li Wei happily summoned the Black Paper and began to examine his familiarity with it. But when he saw it, Li Wei froze.
"Target: Kai Star race, combat strength A1, special skills: Defense Enhancement Lv3, Stamina Enhancement Lv3, Innate Herculean Strength Lv4..."
What kind of special skill is that?
Li Wei tried out each of these special skills one by one, only to find that the so-called 'Defense Enhancement' was a skill that could sacrifice a certain amount of movement and agility to instantly increase the thickness and hardness of the armor, thereby greatly improving defense. 'Stamina Enhancement' and 'Innate Herculean Strength' were the same. However, Innate Herculean Strength was somewhat similar to the Behemoth's Power that Li Wei possessed, but it was much less effective in actual combat.
Besides, in this Kai Star human form, Li Wei discovered that he could not use any of his original special skills, which made Li Wei lose interest in this Kai Star human form instantly. However, Li Wei later analyzed that this Kai Star human form was not entirely useless. At least, he could cultivate some special skills that only Kai Star humans could master, just like Silver Armor's ability to change his armor and fly.
Of course, this form has another advantage: it conceals one's strength. Now, even if a reincarnator with the ability to perceive things sees him, he will only think of him as a Kai Star person with a combat power of A1 level.
With this in mind, Li Wei did not revert to his Kai Star form.
Hiding in the grass, Li Wei looked around at his surroundings and thought to himself, "This must be the 'First Layer of God's Ruins' mentioned in the mission." The pillar he had seen earlier wasn't the only one, because there were similar tall pillars in the distance, roughly a dozen or so.
The presence of pillars indicates that there is one or more floors above, but this place has absolutely nothing to do with the 'floors' that Li Wei remembered.
There were grassy areas, woods, and even mountains in the distance. The pleasant air and the faint sound of flowing water told Li Wei there might be streams and lakes here as well.
If you told me this was a floor, Li Wei wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death. Of course, this is the God's Ruins, and perhaps the 'gods' who once lived here enjoyed creating some kind of outdoor landscape in their own homes to cultivate their minds.
Li Wei thought to himself that he really did have a knack for wild imaginations. Little did Li Wei know, his wild guesses were actually not far off from the truth.
Temporarily putting aside those unrealistic ideas, Li Wei continued to analyze the mission. What he needed to do now was to complete the mission according to its requirements.
While pondering how to find teammates from Team 7 and imagining what kind of guy they would be, I suddenly heard a huge explosion coming from the distant woods, followed by a plume of smoke.
Li Wei glanced at the location of the explosion, which was less than a kilometer away from the bushes where he was, and quickly rushed towards it.
Li Wei did not fly on his sword in this place. After all, Li Wei had not yet figured out the enemy's strength. If he recklessly flew through the sky, he would definitely be in big trouble.
Li Wei, in his Kai Star human form, ran at full speed across the one-kilometer distance, covering the distance in less than 20 seconds.
From a distance, Li Wei could see that large areas of trees had been blown to pieces, with leaves and wood chips everywhere. In the open space ahead, where the red soil had been exposed, stood a person covered in blood.
Li Wei exerted all his strength in his legs and pushed off, soaring like an arrow into a dense thicket. Li Wei did all this without making a sound. With his current A1 form as Kai Star human, thinking and doing this was not difficult for him.
At this moment, Li Wei looked closely and realized that the person covered in blood was actually a strange person he had never seen before.
Its entire body was covered in white fur, its lower limbs were like those of a wolf, and its upper limbs were the same, with claws like knives. However, at this moment, half of its white fur was stained red with blood.
No matter how Li Wei looked at it, the monster seemed somewhat familiar. After a moment's thought, it dawned on him. "Isn't this Werewolf?"
In Shadow Street, Li Wei had seen some reincarnators exchange for Werewolf Bloodline. After transforming, they were no different from this monster. However, the white Werewolf in front of him was much more beautiful. Not only did it not have the bulky feeling of bulging muscles, but it was also very agile, with very slender limbs and torso.
At this moment, the white Werewolf glared at a person a dozen meters away, letting out a low growl.
Only then did Li Wei notice that opposite the white Werewolf stood a very 'beautiful' woman. However, her beauty was limited to her face; the rest of her body was, in no way, related to beauty.
