Chapter 144: Courting Death, Deterrence

[Invisible Rail Nailer lv.32: 0% (…effective range 750 km, maximum range 2250 km)]

‘Thirty-two.’

Yang Chen looked at the nail gun in his hand with satisfaction.

Most people simply cannot imagine that such a small steel pipe can unleash such terrifying power.

The effective range alone is over 700 kilometers.

The maximum range is an exaggerated 2,000 kilometers.

Just one shot and the aerospace fighter that can fly through the sky will be shot down.

As long as you hit it right.

“It’s a pity that we only got one electromagnetic gun barrel. I don’t know if Wang Ning has more.”

Based on previous experience, Yang Chen felt that the materials needed from level 31 to level 41 should be the same.

The upgrade materials will change after level 41.

In other words, as long as you can get enough electromagnetic gun barrels, the nail gun can be upgraded to level 41 in a short period of time.

Moreover, with this external upgrade method that he had researched, when he reached the awakening state, he would generate awakening energy and would not delay his own evolutionary level advancement.

“However, the external upgrade method seems to consume more resources. Not only do the materials cost money, but the conversion of derivative energy also requires resources.”

Yang Chen frowned slightly. He originally felt that he was already very wealthy, and the resources he had were almost enough to reach the sixth level.

But if I directly use this external upgrade method that I have researched, it would be good enough if I can use it until the middle stage of the fourth stage.

Although I don’t seem to have a middle and late stage, if I calculate it using the level of the nail gun, a level 44 nail gun would be my fourth-level middle stage.

“Yang Chen, something is coming.” Peng Min outside shouted.

Yang Chen integrated the nail gun into his left arm and walked out of the shelter, then he saw a ball of green flame slowly floating over from a distance.

“It should be some kind of spirit or evil spirit. I’ll go over and take a look.”

He walked to the edge of the force field barrier, took a step forward, and the aura of the early third stage leaked out.

The green flame the size of a human head hundreds of meters away suddenly accelerated and approached.

Suddenly, a chilly feeling appeared, and the temperature of the surrounding air dropped a lot.

Under the influence of that strange aura, Yang Chen vaguely saw an incredibly beautiful woman waving at him.

A vague feeling of heat appears, and along with that heat, the body’s energy and spirit are drained away.

“Third level evil spirit?”

He sneered, and the moment the green flame entered the range of his mental power, he moved his mind and cast [Soul-Calming].

“puff!”

The vague shadow of the woman disappeared directly, and at the same time, the green flame as big as a human head also dissipated instantly, leaving nothing behind.

‘No beads?’

Yang Chen felt a little regretful. This was the second evil spirit they had encountered. He thought that all evil spirits had that kind of cold green bead.

The bead he obtained from the green smoke directly advanced his spirit to super evolution.

Speaking of which, my spiritual super evolution is far behind Peng Min’s.

Now Peng Min can easily crush a fifth-level evolver with just super evolution, and there is absolutely no problem in killing a sixth-level evolver alone.

But for myself, killing a fifth-level evolver might be no problem, but it’s hard to say if there are too many of them.

If I encounter a sixth-level evolver, without Peng Min’s help, I can only use the nail gun.

The nail gun was created by my innate ability. Although it can be considered my ability, it still lacks a certain feeling.

And it is impossible for me to need protection forever.

“I heard when I was very young that there were the most ghosts and evil spirits in the mountains. Perhaps…”

Yang Chen’s heart moved, and he suddenly said to Peng Min in the distance: “I’m going to the Tree King Camp, you take care of the house.”

“Are you okay alone?” Peng Min asked quickly.

Without her help in shielding his aura, Yang Chen’s initial third-stage aura would be exposed, making him easy to be targeted.

A super evolver cannot be identified from the outside.

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems. The Nepenthes tree has just been planted, so it’s not advisable to keep digging it out.”

Yang Chen greeted him, then summoned a tombstone, using it as a means of transportation, and walked directly towards the Tree King Camp.

This time, his goal, in addition to purchasing the beads dropped by the evil spirit after its death, is also the electromagnetic gun barrel.

As long as he could get nine more electromagnetic gun barrels, the nail gun could be upgraded to level 41 in a short period of time, and he could also be promoted to level 4.

The fourth-level Huyan Lingxi can fly. Yang Chen really wants to know, after reaching the fourth level, will he also be able to fly?

Logically speaking, since I am a two-way super-evolver, I should be stronger.

The shelter is not far from the Tree King Camp.

The distance of five kilometers can be reached in just a few minutes at the speed of a tombstone.

Yang Chen did not deliberately hide the tombstone. He put it away a few hundred meters away, and then strode towards the two-hundred-meter-high giant tree.

The people at the Giant Tree Camp had already spotted him, and someone came out to greet him immediately.

“Is the visitor Mr. Hu Chen from next door?” asked the person who came out to greet him. It was obvious that the other party had learned about Yang Chen’s appearance through some means.

Because Yang Chen’s aura was only at the early third level, and the person who came out was only at the early fourth level.

“It’s me, I want to see Wang Ning…Sir, please inform him.” Yang Chen nodded.

“Mr. Wang Ning is a very busy man, this…”

The visitor rubbed his fingers in embarrassment.

Yang Chen frowned. He didn’t know what this person meant, but he could tell that he didn’t want to help and seemed to want to embarrass him. “Forget it, I’ll go find it myself.”

He strode straight forward.

“You can’t come in…” The man was about to stop him, but his eyes became dazed and his tone immediately changed: “Please follow me.”

The ability to charm souls is still very effective against a mere fourth-level early stage evolver.

I don’t know if it’s because of the seventh-level giant tree monster or because the people in the so-called Tree King Camp are too confident, but this camp doesn’t even have a fence.

However, after entering under the giant tree, Yang Chen roughly understood that the people here actually lived on the giant tree.

Around the trunk of the giant tree, there are tree houses of various sizes. They don’t look like they were dug out, but rather like they grew naturally.

Considering that the giant trees are monsters, perhaps these tree houses were built by the giant trees themselves.

“This face…isn’t it?”

Suddenly, someone came over from a distance: “He looks a bit like Mr. Hu Chen next door, but Mr. Hu Chen shouldn’t be that weak, right?”

He muttered, and directly blocked Yang Chen’s way, and asked: “Who are you? I don’t think I have seen you before. Do you have such a person in the Tree King Camp?”

“Who are you?” Yang Chen asked doubtfully.

This man is a fifth-level evolver, tall and strong, with a nonchalant look. It is not difficult to see that he is looking for trouble.

“You don’t even know me?”

The sturdy man was obviously unhappy: “I am Wang Sandao, Wang Ning is my elder brother.”

“I see.”

Yang Chen said: “I’m Hu Chen, please inform Mr. Wang Ning and tell him that Hu Chen next door wants to see him.”

Wang Sandao saw that this little third-order evolver in front of him seemed to pay too much attention to him, and his face suddenly turned cold: “My eldest brother is a very busy man, can you see him whenever you want?”

Yang Chen couldn’t help but frown again and turned to look at the giant tree.

His mental power had already sensed Wang Ning inside one of the tree houses. The other party was looking at him from the window, but had no intention of coming down.

“Because you suddenly realized that I’m only a third-level evolver, you’re disdainful of me?”

He felt helpless and it seemed that he had to show his strength.

As the thought came to mind, the earth shook and a huge tombstone suddenly emerged from the ground.

“You dare to take action here? You are looking for death…” Before Wang Sandao finished his words, suddenly a huge tombstone rushed over and a terrifying suction force was about to suck him in.

In horror, he punched out suddenly.

“Oh!”

With a loud bang, the huge tombstone and he himself flew backwards at the same time.

Just as he was about to twist his body and land on the ground, he was suddenly sucked in by another huge tombstone that appeared out of nowhere.

“Stop, what are you doing?” Wang Ning’s face in the tree house changed drastically.

When a few people under the giant tree heard the boss speak, they quickly stood up and scolded Yang Chen.

“You dare to disrespect Lord Sandao and seek death…”

“Get him…”

These evolvers, who were at least level four, roared angrily, drew their weapons and rushed towards Yang Chen.

“Ugh!”

Yang Chen sighed. It was simply impossible for the weak to take a single step in this world.

Silently, his mental power spread out layer by layer, and his abilities of [Bewitching Soul], [Confusing Soul], and [Calming Soul] were used one after another.

The giant tree above his head shook slightly, but then seemed to sense something and stopped moving again.

It sensed that something was targeting it in the small “camp” five kilometers away, and a feeling of death arose, making it dare not move.

It immediately understood that the person in front of it was definitely an important figure in that “camp”.

Moreover, the other party did not seem to have any murderous intentions, so there was no need for him to act impulsively. It would be better to let this ignorant guy who was staying here suffer a little loss, so that he would not be implicated in the future.

“Rumble–“

Just at this time, huge tombstones appeared.

Some people who had just approached the tombstone were suddenly sucked in.

Someone wanted to attack the tombstone, but was suddenly restrained by an invisible force. The next moment, he was knocked away by the quickly moving tombstone, breaking his bones and tendons.

“Damn…”

“He actually killed him! Kill him!!”

“Hu Chen, you are looking for death!!”

Wang Ning in the tree house roared and jumped out of the window.

At the same time, everyone in the tree house camp roared and rushed over from all directions.

“Weng—”

However, at this moment, the twelve huge tombstones suddenly closed together, and a huge hexagram formation appeared. The terrifying refining power instantly refined all the evolvers below the fifth level, and their flesh and blood melted away.

Even those fifth-level evolvers were restrained by invisible forces and their movement speed was greatly reduced.

Wang Ning, who was jumping down, suddenly saw Hu Chen raising his arm. Before he could react, a stream of light shot out and blew up his head.

Unspeakable fear, pain, and regret overwhelmed me: “Why…why did I test him?!”

He knelt down on the spot in remorse, but as soon as he knelt down, he suddenly found that the scene in front of him had changed drastically.

“Aren’t I dead?” He looked up suddenly with a confused look on his face.
