Chapter 118

Shen Xing checked the fried Fried Chicken panel and found nothing unusual, so he wasn't worried.

Here, take this.

He took a huge raptor talon from his backpack and handed it over.

"Chirp?" The Fried Chicken tilted its head, seemingly unaware of the purpose of this thing.

Shen Xing explained it to it and how to use it.

The Hippogryph realized that this was a treasure that could make it stronger, so it happily picked up its talons and trotted off to evolve.

After the Fried Chicken left, Hellscream hesitated for a moment before speaking, "My lord, I actually have a question... that I'd like to ask you."

"Oh?" Shen Xing looked at him. "What's the problem?"

"It's a question about spiritual practice."

Hellscream said in a deep voice, "Last time you used that miraculous ability to help me Metamorphosis, and you also activated the demonic power within me."

"I can now unleash Hellfire through my wings to deal massive area-of-effect damage to enemies."

"I was inspired by the advanced skill of the Mirror Image Clone [Mirror Image Killing Formation]. These abilities seem to have entirely new skill forms that can be developed through different methods of exertion."

"Therefore, I combined the Bladestorm skill with Hellfire to create a brand new combo skill."

"However... this combination is not quite stable yet, so I would like to ask the learned lord for some guidance."

Hellscream scratched his bald head, looking like he was humbly seeking advice.

"Combination skills?"

A look of doubt flashed in Shen Xing's eyes; this was the first time she had ever heard such a statement.

Although he was surprised, his voice remained calm. "Demonstrate it once so I can see."

"Uh..." Hellscream around, scratched his head, and said, "There are a lot of buildings around here, I'm afraid I might accidentally cause an accident. Shall we go to an open area to demonstrate for you?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Xing's eyes. What kind of skill was so powerful that it could even affect the surrounding buildings?

His curiosity grew even stronger.

A moment later, the two arrived at an open space outside the southern district of the territory.

"My lord, please step back." Hellscream gripped his Blackwater Battle Axe and said in a deep voice.

Shen Xing did as instructed and pushed the wheelchair backward a short distance.

The next moment, a pair of bat wings suddenly spread open behind Hellscream.

Its nearly four-meter-long black wings, fully extended, cast a huge shadow on the ground.

Blue patterns flowed across the wing membrane, exuding a dangerous and powerful aura.

Then, he twisted his foot, creating a gust of wind, and began to spin around, gripping his battle axe.

Shen Xing knew that this was the starting move of [Bladestorm], and most of the orcs in the territory knew this move.

Led by the Da Hou, all the orcs began to imitate this move. Now, any orc who says they don't know Bladestorm is ridiculed.

Of course, their Bladestorm only makes them spin; whether it can damage the enemy or make them dizzy is not your concern.

However, Hellscream's starting move this time seems to be different from before.

As he spun around, his bat wings began to fold up, as if forming a barrier to protect him.

Immediately afterwards, eerie green flames ignited at the tips of the wings.

From its initial tiny sparks, it rapidly expanded as it rotated.

"Whoosh—!"

A massive Infernal appeared out of nowhere.

The temperature in the air rose instantly, and Flame Tornado with a diameter of seven or eight meters spun at high speed, sending out terrifying waves of heat that brought astonishing destructive shockwaves.

It's as if anyone caught in it will be instantly shredded and evaporated.

That's not all.

After spinning for two or three seconds, Hellscream suddenly roared.

"Go!"

The next second, he actually flung that huge Fire Tornado away, sweeping forward for more than ten meters!

Shen Xing: "(⊙o⊙)!!!"

He was completely stunned.

No, is this even possible?

This shouldn't even be called Bladestorm; it should be called Blade Tornado Storm!

After unleashing his skill, Hellscream let out a heavy sigh of relief, then sheathed his battle axe and walked towards Shen Xing.

"My lord, this is the combination skill I developed, but it still feels a bit lacking."

"As I envisioned, after I flung out the final segment of the tornado, the Infernal Flame contained within would detonate upon contact with the target."

"After the preceding rotation and buildup, this explosion should deal the most damage."

"But for some reason, I can't detonate it 100% of the time; I can only move a short distance like before."

"As expected, I was too foolish."

He scratched his bald head, looking troubled.

Shen Xing: "..."

Oh yes, yes, you're so stupid.

Damn it, don't you want to look at what you're saying?

This is a combo skill! I've never seen one like it on the forums, especially one that combines Hellfire with other skills.

Hajiyu, you've probably walked a path no one has ever walked before, you know that?

"Hellscream, your combo skill is already very sophisticated; even I can't offer you much more guidance."

Shen Xing didn't try to sound profound, lest he mislead anyone. "But a Master once said: Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."

I suggest you practice for a while longer and see how it goes before making a decision.

"One percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration..."

Hellscream shuddered, his eyes regaining their light. "I understand!"

"So... that's why I couldn't detonate it 100%!"

"My lord, you are truly my guiding star, my mentor in life!"

Shen Xing: "?"

No, what have you figured out?

I didn't say anything, I just wanted you to practice more!

Is all your so-called enlightenment so idealistic?

Shen Xing took a deep breath and forced a smile, "I'm glad it helped you. Now go and prepare, gather the troops."

"Once the Fried Chicken makes a breakthrough, we'll set off immediately to conquer that temple."

"Yes, my lord!" Hellscream replied respectfully.

Then he quickly turned around and gathered the orcs.

Shen Xing stared at his retreating figure, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Hellscream, this is no ordinary man...

Chapter 94: Takeoff, the Powerful Transcendent Rank Hippogryph!

Logically speaking, orcs are creatures with well-developed muscles and simple minds.

Why is Hellscream's talent so exceptional, so similar to that of his lord?

Could it be that [Life-Sacrifice Evolution] altered his aptitude, or is it because he fused with the Lesser Demon's Blood?

After a moment, Shen Xing shook his head. "Never mind, Hellscream's intelligence is a good thing for me too."

"The stronger he is, the less trouble I, as the lord, will have."

With that in mind, Shen Xing continued pushing his wheelchair back to the center of the village.

A few minutes later, a powerful aura suddenly rose from the base of the territory's city walls.

"Huffing and puffing"

A powerful flapping sound rang out, and a shadowy mass shot into the sky, like a streak of dark lightning piercing the rain.

It circled twice and a half times in the air, then transformed into a blur and swooped down.

"Call..."

A strong wind rushed towards us.

As it approached Shen Xing, the enormous creature gradually folded its wings, transforming into a magnificent and powerful Hippogryph with bright feathers, which landed steadily in front of the wheelchair.

It's Fried Chicken!

After breaking through, this guy's size swelled up again.

Its wingspan increased dramatically from three or four meters to five or six meters, its dark green feathers were interspersed with more dark gold flight feathers, and a tuft of bristling feathers stood upright on its head.

Especially its pair of curved forepaws, with their bristles peeking out, looked as if they could easily tear a Transcendent Rank monster apart.

But... why does this Hippogryph seem to be getting darker and darker as it evolves?

Shen Xing looked at the Fried Chicken with a strange expression, at its shiny black feathers.

The Hippogryph tilted its head, staring at its owner with a knowing look.

"Forget it, who cares if it's black or not, as long as it's strong enough."

Shen Xing withdrew his gaze and looked at his talent panel: "I haven't used today's Life-Sacrifice Evolution yet, so I'll use it to upgrade the Fried Chicken."

[Use 'Life-Sacrifice Evolution' to upgrade the territory unit "Fried Chicken" to Boss One Star ★?]

[This evolution requires sacrificing 100 Agility.]

"Yes."

A ball of red light descended from the sky and landed on the enormous body of the Fried Chicken.

Unlike the painful process of flesh remodeling experienced by Hellscream and Gorehowl when Boss One Star to higher boss levels, Fried Chicken seems to have had a much more comfortable experience.

With its wings spread and its eagle eyes slightly closed, it couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

Within the light, its wings were Metamorphosis at a speed visible to the naked eye.
