A figure was slowly walking on the desolate desert, carrying a warblade that was taller than a person on his back. Every step he took left a deep footprint on the ground. Beside this young man, there was a delicately beautiful girl strolling leisurely. She was talking and laughing with the young man, completely unaffected by the environment.
"We've been walking for half an hour, and I haven't seen any living creatures!?" Bexia stopped and frowned, looking ahead. There was nothing but bare desert as far as the eye could see, except for a distant jungle.
"I don't have any solutions either. My perception is greatly reduced here. I can only extend my range to fifty meters at most!" Christine also expressed her helplessness. If she couldn't materialize her spiritual body, she would be experiencing five times the gravity like Bexia.
"But I think things will be better ahead in the forest!"
"But it's quite far away!" Bexia looked bitter. He was having a hard time with the five times gravity. He had already consumed about half of his magic power, and the constant overweight environment would drain his magic power and stamina.
"Hm!? Master, something's not right!" Christine suddenly changed her expression, and then Bexia felt the ground beneath his feet disappear. Within a radius of at least thirty meters, the ground sank, forming a funnel-like shape, and everything around was flowing downward.
"Master! There are living creatures below!" Christine reminded.
At this moment, Bexia was stabilizing himself with his Dragon Hidden Frigid Star inserted into the ground. Upon hearing Christine's words, he decisively leaped up, only managing to jump about two meters high due to the influence of gravity.
"Crimson Blaze Strike!" Bexia didn't hesitate at all and smashed toward the bottom of the funnel. With a loud thud, he fell into the quicksand, followed by a mournful cry and some red and white liquid splashing out.
"Aaack!" A giant sandworm crawled out of the quicksand, with one of its massive pincers already broken. It was now glowering at Bexia.
"Chirp chirp!" The sandworm sprayed a yellow liquid from its mouth. Bexia didn't dodge, but instead activated the Frigid Star's cold aura. The power of this champion-level weapon didn't decrease much here.
"Crack crack!" The liquid sprayed by the sandworm was frozen into ice cubes as soon as it entered the cold aura. At this moment, a flash of light later, a blade of light pierced through the sandworm's head, with Christine standing behind it.
"Hehe! Master, you've become much weaker now!" Christine smiled happily as she quickly took Bexia away without pulling out the blade of light. It was just a manifestation of her ability and dissipated in the blink of an eye.
"You..." Bexia shook his head helplessly, feeling speechless towards Christine.
"Huh!?" Suddenly, Bexia noticed the dead sandworm. Its huge body gradually became transparent, and finally dissipated into nothingness, leaving only a small droplet of golden liquid floating in the air.
"What is this...?!" Bexia furrowed his brows as he looked at the droplet of golden liquid. Christine had already used her magic to capture the liquid and placed it in front of Bexia.
"This is Dragon Strength Elixir!" Bexia exclaimed. This sensation was exactly the same as when Long Momo had given him the Dragon Strength Elixir to drink. He hadn't expected that the elixir was obtained in this way. He had originally thought that it was naturally generated? He never imagined that it was actually condensed from monsters.
"There is a very pure energy inside, and taking it can also enhance physical strength. The effect is better than Frost Marrow. This is a good thing, Master!" Christine said.
"I know, this thing is unique to Anzu, but I didn't expect it to be obtained in this way!" Bexia sighed. This world is truly full of wonders!
"Master, please put it away!"
"Okay!" Bexia found a good container from his space and used it to store the Dragon Strength Elixir. Then he continued to move towards the direction of the forest.
It took Bexia a whole day to walk from the wasteland to the forest, and this was only known because he was carrying a magic timer. Otherwise, judging by the constant golden glow above his head, there seemed to be no distinction between day and night here.
Bexia had a smooth journey and hardly encountered any danger along the way. Although he encountered a few monsters, they were all relatively weak and were easily dealt with.
A day's time had allowed Bexia to adapt somewhat to the five times the normal gravity here. Now, the impact of the five times gravity on him was slightly reduced, but not significantly. If he wanted to fully adapt to the supergravity environment here, Bexia estimated that he would have to stay here for a year.
But obviously, this was impossible!
As Bexia entered the forest area, the yellowish surroundings turned into a vibrant green before his eyes. It gave a strong visual impact. However, before he had time to marvel at it, a large area above his head turned dark, and then a giant flying squirrel pounced at him!
"Drink—!" Bexia reacted swiftly and wielded the Dragon Hidden Cold Star, emitting a crimson light amidst the azure glow.
"Go!" Bexia swung the warblade fiercely, throwing the flying squirrel away.
"These monsters seem a bit different?" Bexia looked at the dead flying squirrel on the ground. Although he believed it was a flying squirrel, the monster in front of him differed greatly from the flying squirrel warbeast. The most obvious difference was its appearance. A flying squirrel had soft fur, while this monster had a scaly armor with a serpent-like tail, and even some black hair. It looked somewhat unique.
The body of the flying squirrel gradually disappeared and turned into Dragon Strength Elixir. This drop was twice as large as the one from the monster in the desert. Bexia stored this drop of Dragon Strength Elixir and suddenly heard a loud noise in the distance. He was immediately drawn to it, thinking that he had finally encountered living people.
Putting on the invisible cloak, Bexia activated the invisibility effect and quickly approached the sound. He soon saw the place where the explosion sound originated. The ground was in a mess and there was a mutilated corpse lying there. It was a female corpse wearing Anzu's priestess robe. Without a doubt, this was one of the people beside Long Momo.
Seeing this scene, Bexia's eyes widened, and he immediately continued searching in the direction of the traces on the ground. After a moment, he saw several people chasing after a figure in a shrine maiden's outfit. Although it wasn't Long Momo, Bexia recognized the person. Without hesitation, he tapped into the magic power within his chaotic Divinity and his speed suddenly became incredibly fast...
