Chapter 168: Temporary Combination
Phew~
Rumble~
The sound of the meteorite piercing the atmosphere grew increasingly obvious, as if even the ground was trembling along with it.
The Skeleton Legion, lacking independent thinking ability, was still obstinately climbing toward the mountain top, unaware that destruction was imminent.
Chang Shengtian, transformed into the Black Scaled Great Snake, carried Lu Bai straight to the foot of the mountain at a speed that left one speechless.
But Lu Bai was still not quite satisfied. He patted the top scale of Chang Shengtian and urged.
“Faster.”
The power released by a meteorite with a diameter of one kilometer crashing down could easily exceed the explosive energy equivalent to ten billion tons of TNT.
It would inevitably trigger chain reactions such as climate change, volcanic eruptions, crustal movement, and even rupture.
Without exaggeration, a meteorite impact of this magnitude was absolutely a global disaster.
However, the most terrifying part was that
there were fully one hundred meteorites of such enormous size in the sky.
When Lu Bai saw the quantity of these meteorites, he instantly realized it was impossible to escape the scope of impact.
He decisively chose to drag Chang Shengtian along, having it carry him down the mountain to seize the last ray of hope.
The Black Scaled Great Snake, dozens of meters long, soared through the air, and beneath its massive shadow, death fighters could occasionally be seen fleeing in panic.
The meteor shower, a destructive natural disaster, descended, turning the area around Yang Hu Zi Mountain into complete chaos.
Some death fighters were fleeing for their lives, others were trying to form temporary cooperation in a race against time; even as Lu Bai rode the Black Scaled Great Snake so conspicuously past them, few paid attention to him.
But it had to be said, there was still some good news.
At least these death fighters were no longer hiding their heads and showing their tails, making it more convenient for Lu Bai to select ability groups.
As the Black Scaled Great Snake flew, lines of small text continuously refreshed in front of Lu Bai’s retinas.
[Data file detected. Read?]
……
[Data file detected. Read?]
……
After all, the read abilities couldn’t all be stored; they had to either be kept or discarded.
So Lu Bai had no time to carefully read these ability descriptions; no matter what ability he read, he skimmed through it at a glance.
To increase his reading speed, he even used [Flash Time].
……
[Three Big Great God (Silver)]?
[Great Swordsman’s Flying Slash (Colorful)]?
[Probability Precognition (Colorful)]?
After looking around, none were very useful. Excluded.
Silver ones didn’t even need to be read.
[Light Speed Regeneration (Colorful)]… excluded, hmm?
Lu Bai carefully looked at the description of this ability.
[Light Speed Regeneration (Colorful): Ultimate recovery ability. Regardless of the degree of injury, it can instantly self-heal, with consumption depending on the degree of injury.]
Somewhat useful, but unfortunately only for self-protection.
What Lu Bai wanted now was not self-protection.
If he just wanted to survive this meteor shower, with so many abilities in front of him, he could easily assemble a set sufficient to get him through this crisis.
He was more greedy; what he wanted now was to try to pacify this disaster.
While Chang Shengtian carried him flying around, a large number of meteorites had gradually approached the surface.
The rumbling whooshing from above shook eardrums painfully.
Perhaps psychological effect, but Lu Bai even felt the surrounding temperature rising to a great degree.
“L-Little… Little Bai, do we have to continue?! How about we hurry…”
Even the arrogant Chang Shengtian couldn’t control the trembling in his voice under these circumstances.
Without Lu Bai’s insistence, he probably would have fled for his life long ago.
“Don’t speak. Continue finding reincarnated demon persons.”
Lu Bai’s gaze didn’t leave the ability panel, thanks to the lack of negative emotions.
The more such a moment, the calmer his heart became.
With Lu Bai’s attitude so firm, Chang Shengtian had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on.
More and more death fighters noticed they had lost their abilities, feeling despair along with an extra bit of confusion.
“Wait!”
Chang Shengtian flew over a dirt slope where several death fighters were gathered.
As before, Lu Bai read their abilities and quickly judged if they were useful.
One slightly strange ability caught his attention.
[Scrap Recycling (Colorful): Causality ability. Anything subjectively abandoned by people or already discarded can be deemed scrap, and as long as it is scrap, it can be recycled.]
This ability…
Lu Bai immediately recalled the silver ability he had seen before but not read.
[Three Big Great God (Silver): A unique lifestyle of the bottom society, freeloading and waiting to die, not affecting others, but all personal possessions are regarded as junk.]
Lu Bai suddenly slapped the top scale of Chang Shengtian: “Return the way we came, to that path on the west slope.”
With the meteor shower about to fall, Chang Shengtian’s hope was entirely pinned on Lu Bai.
No matter how bizarre the request, he was too lazy to question it anymore.
The massive Black Scaled Great Snake decisively turned around in the air and sped at full speed to the position Lu Bai mentioned.
Fortunately, the death fighter with the [Three Big Great God] ability hadn’t gone too far.
[Data file detected. Read?]
“Read.”
In Lu Bai’s temporary slot bar, only [Full Map Vision] remained.
[Death Note] and [You Are Called Li Si] were replaced by [Scrap Recycling] and [Three Big Great God].
At this moment in the sky, the fastest-falling meteorite had approached to within one thousand meters of the ground.
The most optimistic estimate for impact on the ground was just over ten seconds left.
“Little Chang, ascend, take me to the meteorite.”
Hearing this, Chang Shengtian’s vertical pupils uncontrollably turned toward Lu Bai, completely unable to understand what he planned to do. Had he lost his mind?
“No time to explain.”
Lu Bai’s calm tone somewhat pacified Chang Shengtian’s panicked and uneasy mood.
“……Fine, at worst I’ll risk my life with you.”
Chang Shengtian grumbled while shooting into the sky like a rocket.
Only when approaching could one realize how exaggerated the size of a one-kilometer-diameter meteorite truly was.
The intense high temperature from the meteorite surface friction with the air was enough to melt steel.
From far away, the scorching heat wave made the ends of Lu Bai’s hair curl slightly.
Arriving directly below the meteorite, the view was completely obscured by it, unable to see the night sky anymore, with pupils reflecting firelight.
“Can’t get any closer.”
Chang Shengtian roared.
“Enough.”
Lu Bai pressed his right hand on Chang Shengtian’s scales to steady his body, while the Great Serpent Phantom from his left hand shot forward.
This meteorite, already released, was an ownerless object.
As long as he could touch it, the nominal ownership would be his.
The Great Serpent Phantom formed from magic power endured thousands of degrees of high temperature and arduously extended toward the meteorite surface.
The moment it touched, Lu Bai’s mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.
The facts proved his idea was correct.
“Recycle.”
