Surviving in high-level martial arts and stacking Hextech

Chapter 117 Starport Projection

The sandworm king before us already possesses intelligence comparable to that of humans.

—This line, often found in novels, might not sound very intuitive. A more intuitive way to put it is that if it were to complete nine years of compulsory education and then take the high school entrance exam, it would win.

In other words, it can fully understand what Jiang Feng is saying.

"Again?"

Come on, you motherfucker!

Less than a few minutes after Jiang Feng's scythe swept across the ground, it finally realized a very serious problem:

The human in front of me, who has not yet condensed his protective aura around his body, is definitely much stronger than all the low-level humans I have ever killed!

It looked at the 96 children, now reduced to charred remains, with a pang of heartache, and made a decisive choice in its heart.

"*&#!"

It emitted a strange language that the two people in front of it could not understand.

Just as Jiang Feng was thinking that some powerful move was about to come and was on high alert, he saw the remaining sandworms that had heard the sound suddenly shrink into the ground.

"Hmph, trying to run away?"

Jiang Feng's figure flashed, leaving behind several afterimages with his Burning Shadow Flowing Light Step.

In the next instant, he appeared above the Sandworm King's head.

The Darkin Scythe was raised high, its blade wreathed in both the power of decay and the fiery flames of hell.

Within his body, the power of the true dragon, extraordinary evil, the Overlord Blood Armor, and many other enhancements were all poured into this one strike: "Leave me here!"

The scythe crashed down.

"Pfft—!"

Before the Sandworm King's horrified eyes, its hard carapace was cleaved open with a single strike. Immediately afterward, the power of the Dark Ones surged through the wound, and a fire dragon followed, burrowing into its body and causing a series of explosions inside.

In less than a few seconds.

The Sandworm King's massive body writhed violently for a moment before finally collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Defeat the Sandworm King *1

[Trigger additional fixed bonus]

[Base Strength Permanently +15%]

[Base health permanently increased by 15]

Jiang Feng stood on the corpse of the Sandworm King, put away the Darkin Scythe, and exhaled a long breath of scorching white air.

The surrounding sand was scorched black.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt carapace.

"It's not over yet."

He forced himself to suppress the smile that was about to burst from the corners of his mouth and looked in front of him.

There, besides a charred mess, there was also...

Many green-attribute forging tools that only he can see!

At a glance, there are definitely no fewer than 15!

"This is so awesome!"

He almost rolled his eyes inwardly.

The only pity is that the remaining sandworms have the ability to burrow underground, and he can't dig three feet into the ground to catch them.

But that's enough!

From Zhang Ruanruan's perspective, she saw Jiang Feng deal with the monsters and then start walking back and forth in the arena, making strange noises from time to time, which made her tilt her head in confusion.

Two minutes later, Jiang Feng returned with a full 17 forging tools.

He wasn't in a hurry to open it now that they were outside the wasteland, in case they encountered other strange beasts, which would be troublesome.

"That feels good."

He couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

In fact, today was the most comfortable time he had ever farmed monsters since he got the Hextech system.

He achieved the highest monster-killing efficiency in the simplest, fastest, quickest, most direct, and most efficient way.

The wilderness is wonderful~

When this idea suddenly popped into his head, he thought he was going crazy.

Just as he was lost in thought, Zhang Ruanruan's expression had returned to its usual cool and aloof demeanor, though her gaze toward Jiang Feng still held a hint of complexity.

"You made too much noise just now; it might attract even stronger beasts from the wilderness," she said.

Jiang Feng naturally understood this principle. He turned around and looked at the ancient building that was faintly visible in the distance.

"Let's find a place to go in before they arrive."

"I've found it."

Zhang Ruanruan's tone carried a hint of smugness, but her face remained aloof.

Seeing this contrast, many images of the other person suddenly flashed through Jiang Feng's mind, and a certain idea sprouted in his heart like bamboo shoots after a spring rain:

Is this guy expressionless?

Zhang Ruanruan, unaware of Jiang Feng's thoughts, pointed to the right side of the ancient building, "I see there looks like a door there. I tried it when you were fighting, and it can be opened."

"Oh, oh, oh." Jiang Feng gave a thumbs up.

Then, the two of them came to the half-open door.

The door was carved with patterns of countless stars and towering buildings, giving the impression of...

"It's like a civilization." Zhang Ruanruan was the first to speak.

"Stay close to me once you're inside."

Jiang Feng felt the same way. After saying that, he gripped the Darkborn Scythe and stepped into it first.

Zhang Ruanruan followed behind.

The moment I pushed open the door and entered the hall, the surroundings suddenly lit up.

It's not a light source.

Instead, they were streaks of light and shadow suspended in the air.

There was only a small area in the lobby where people could stand. Not far away was a staircase leading to the upper floor. The rest of the staircase was suspended in mid-air, with no visible top or bottom.

There, a breathtakingly prosperous alien landscape appeared.

The massive starports floated above the clouds, with thousands of starships shuttling back and forth; towering buildings resembled steel forests piercing the sky, their surfaces shimmering with silver-blue runes; warriors clad in various armors soared through the air, while in the distance, massive mechs and flying formations patrolled in an alternating pattern.

"This is... Tianyuan Star?"

Jiang Feng stared blankly at the technology and martial arts civilization that far surpassed that of Donglin Star.

Having come from a big city, Zhang Ruanruan's adaptability was clearly better than Jiang Feng's. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's Tianyuan Star, but it should be an earlier projection."

As if to prove her point, she pointed to the warriors in armor.

"In my memory, the models of their armor were so old that you could only see them in books."

"I didn't expect you to be a tech geek." Jiang Feng couldn't help but take another look at Zhang Ruanruan.

The latter gradually adjusted to his gaze. "Don't you think wearing armor is cool?"

"It's pretty cool." Jiang Feng didn't refute this point.

The two then looked down and saw the Star Harbor, illuminated by light and shadow, bustling with activity.

However, each time the images flickered, they would briefly break and distort.

After looking around for a while without finding any particularly useful information, they headed towards the stairs at the end.

The staircase spirals upwards, flanked by stone walls engraved with star maps, where occasionally some text appears and disappears.

Jiang Feng couldn't understand the words on it, and Zhang Ruanruan couldn't explain them either.

The only option is to keep going up.

"I'm thinking, if this is a projection as you say, then could the actual building be a space observation station?" Zhang Ruanruan analyzed as she walked.

"Observatory?"

Jiang Feng paused slightly. "That's actually possible."

"If it's an observation station, then those things outside are easy to explain, but..." Jiang Feng was still puzzled, "Is this what an observation station looks like?"

Yes, Zhang Ruanruan suddenly remembered that the two of them had seen the entire building from the outside before. If it was an observation station, she should have been able to recognize it at a glance.

"It might be an older model," Jiang Feng added. "After all, you just said that the armor model doesn't match."

Zhang Ruanruan also thought it was possible and nodded.

The two said no more and continued to walk upwards. Soon, they arrived at the second level of the mirage.

Then, the moment they stepped onto this floor, before either of them could even see the scene clearly, "Ugh—"

Zhang Ruanruan suddenly groaned and knelt down on the ground.
