Gaining a tiny bit of weight every day, my weight is a billion tons.

Two o'clock in the morning.

All sounds are silent.

The night in the Ash Belt was unnaturally quiet.

Su Ming was fast asleep.

The temperature control system of the constant temperature cabin maintains the cabin at the most comfortable temperature of 23 degrees Celsius.

The air mattress has a moderate firmness.

It was so much better than the cement floor of his cheap rental apartment.

He had a dream.

"Ugh...!"

A low bark from a dog pulled him from his dream.

Su Ming rolled over and muttered something.

"Hey, what's your name... Don't you know you're disturbing the neighbors in the middle of the night...?"

"Waaaaah!"

The Wilderness Mastiff lay outside the temperature-controlled cabin.

Its dark golden mane bristled.

The nostrils twitched incessantly.

Its gaze was fixed on the dark night sky.

A persistent, low-frequency warning is emanating from the throat.

The door to the temperature-controlled cabin was opened a crack.

Su Ming was so annoyed by the noise that he lost his temper.

He poked half his body out with his messy, unkempt hair.

I glanced around at the sky in a daze.

There was nothing in the sky except for dark clouds.

Su Ming rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath.

Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Are you just staring at the air?

Something is wrong.

He pulled his head back and casually closed the hatch.

He pulled the blanket over himself, ready to drift off to sleep again.

Big Yellow got anxious.

Just two seconds after the hatch closed.

Big Yellow's low growl escalated into a fierce bark.

It scratched at the gravel ground with its four paws in frustration.

The massive, dark golden tail pounded wildly against the outer shell of the constant temperature chamber.

It made a series of muffled "bang bang bang" sounds.

Su Ming's eyelid twitched.

No matter how heartless he is.

They also knew that a peak second-tier beast about to break through to the third tier wouldn't go mad for no reason.

There is only one possibility.

Something's coming.

Moreover, it's even stronger than that.

"Buzz—"

The door to the adjacent constant-temperature chamber popped open.

Shen Qingci strode out, carrying the Tang sword.

She had just fallen asleep a short while ago.

The taut fabric accentuates the stunning curves.

A pair of straight, slender legs were completely exposed to the air.

Wearing tactical boots, she exudes a cool and deadly charm.

Her long hair, which had been loose, hadn't been tied up yet.

As the night breeze gently rustled.

Su Ming swallowed hard.

No.

It's the middle of the night.

Wearing so little clothing out like that...

Are you here to fight a war or to take my dog's life?

He was just about to say something inappropriate to ease the tension.

The air above my head suddenly distorted.

A transparent ripple visible to the naked eye.

It crashed down from a height of 100 meters without any warning!

"boom!"

The enormous sound waves struck the ground like a heavy bomb.

The violent air blast was mixed with highly destructive infrasound.

It swept through the entire camp in an instant.

The two temperature-controlled cabins, along with their sleeping bags and luggage, were blown away by the raging blast wave.

It rolled around several times in the pile of rubble a dozen meters away before stopping.

Su Ming's tattered camouflage tent, which he bought for fifteen yuan, was in an even worse state.

It was torn into strips and hung on a sharp rock.

Shen Qingci groaned, covered her ears with both hands, and turned pale.

The sound wave resonance caused her internal organs to churn violently.

Even standing has become extremely difficult.

Big Yellow let out a miserable cry, its four legs went weak and it collapsed to the ground.

The ears are pressed tightly against the skull.

The sandstorm has subsided.

Only broken stones remained in the original location.

And a man wearing baggy shorts and shirtless.

Su Ming sat cross-legged on the ground, still in a dazed state as if he had been woken up from his sleep.

My eardrums were ringing a little, but my body showed no signs of being shaken open.

Its density has exceeded that of lead.

Did the sound waves want to cause resonance in his body?

Let's ask physics if it agrees first.

Su Ming scratched his belly and looked around at the messy camp.

"...Lion's Roar?"

He stood up and dusted off his underwear.

"Why does this thing only blow air onto the tent and not onto people?"

Shen Qingci turned around and glared at him.

What time is it?!

Did your pockets get too shallow and spill again?

They're just putting on airs again!

A piercing shriek suddenly came from the sky.

Above the gray fog, a massive black shadow was hovering.

Wingspan of five meters.

The thin, fleshy wings reflected a faint light in the dark.

A streamlined shape that appears to be hanging upside down – a bat.

But its size has increased twentyfold.

Its wings vibrate at high speed.

Layers of transparent sonic ripples continuously spewed out from his mouth.

The surrounding air was shaken so badly that it became blurry.

"It's a Sky-Shattering Bat!"

Shen Qingci's voice was very low, and his tone was unusually solemn.

"This is the thing that shattered our car windows at the checkpoint during the day."

Su Ming recalled for a moment.

There was indeed a terrifying roar as we passed the outer stations.

At the time, I thought it was the aftermath of a distant battlefield.

As a result, the culprit followed.

"A second-tier elite source beast," Shen Qingci quickly added.

"Unless you have ranged abilities, otherwise..."

She paused for a moment.

"Otherwise, we'd be sitting ducks."

Su Ming looked up at that thing.

It's too far away.

This Skybreaker Bat is extremely cunning.

Use a height of 100 meters as an absolute safety zone.

Relying on sonic attacks, they conducted air-to-ground bombardment without any blind spots.

Shen Qingci's Gengjin Blade Bone is for close combat.

Needless to say, he himself was even more so.

A melee fighter whose skills can only move in a straight line.

Two melee fighters and an injured dog.

Against the previous flying sonic turret.

If this situation happened in a game...

Just four words: the version is wrong.

"Buzz—"

The Sky-Shattering Bat opened its mouth again.

The second wave of wave breath poured down from high altitude.

"spread!"

Shen Qingci kicked Big Yellow and rolled away to avoid it.

Su Ming then squatted down on the spot.

The sound wave hit the spot where he was standing.

The rock strata beneath our feet are cracked with radial fissures.

Pebbles flew everywhere.

Su Ming narrowed his eyes and began counting.

The interval between each breath of the Skybreaker Bat is about seven seconds.

The sound wave coverage radius is about fifteen meters.

After the attack, it will circle in the air once to reposition the target.

position.

……position?

Su Ming's brilliant mind began to work at high speed.

bat.

Ultrasonic echo location.

It doesn't use its eyes to find prey.

It "sees" the world by emitting ultrasonic waves and receiving the reflected sound waves.

What if... all the reflected sound waves are distorted?

"Long legs!"

Su Mingchong shouted at her.

It uses ultrasonic echolocation!

Your Geng Metal Marrow is itself a high-frequency oscillation.

"Could you please disable its radar?"

Shen Qingci was stunned for a moment.

She was a martial arts fanatic, not a top student, but she was extremely intelligent and immediately grasped the tactical intent in Su Ming's words.

Use vibration to interfere with vibration!

High-frequency oscillations disrupt the echo of sound waves!

As long as the echoes received by the Skybat are all chaotic noise.

It's no different from being blind!

"I've never done this kind of output before, and I'm afraid it won't last long."

"It won't take too long."

Su Ming chuckled.

"Give me three seconds."

Shen Qingci stopped wasting words.

She knelt on one knee, gripping the knife handle upside down with both hands.

The second sequence of Gengjin Marrow is activated instantly.

The blade is covered with a golden liquid metal.

A high-frequency buzzing sound pierced the air.

Shen Qingci endured the strain on her arms.

He fiercely plunged Tang Hengdao into the rock beneath his feet.

Golden liquid metal seeped from the blade and spread along the edge.

It's not the kind of precise vibration that's usually attached to the blade for chopping.

Instead, the oscillation frequency is pushed to its limit.

It spreads indiscriminately into the surrounding air and ground.

hum!

Within a radius of thirty meters around the entire camp, the air began to emit a piercing buzzing sound.

High-frequency oscillations, centered on the blade's edge, are frantically injected into the earth.

And it rises against the air current.

The surrounding sound wave field instantly descended into extreme chaos.

The gravel bounced up with the vibrations.

Big Yellow yelped and screamed as it backed away.

The effect is immediate.

The Sky-Shattering Bat high in the sky suddenly trembled.

In its perceived world.

The prey's outline disappeared.

The previously clear ground feedback suddenly turned into a huge mass of high-frequency gibberish.

Its "line-of-sight radar" completely crashed.

The Skybat, having lost its precise positioning, immediately went berserk.

It let out a piercing scream and folded its wings.

It plunged straight down toward the most chaotic center of the sound waves.

Its enormous body, with a wingspan of five meters, began to sway irregularly.

The sonic breath lost its aim and veered off course, exploding into a deep crater thirty meters away.

The Sky-Shattering Bat was unwilling to give up and lowered its altitude.

Wash this area with stronger, close-range sound waves.

The intelligence of a second-tier elite led it to make what it believed to be a correct judgment.

really.

The bat folded its wings and swooped down.

"They're here."

Su Ming stared at the swaying black figure, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

It plummeted straight down from a height of 100 meters.

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

Twenty meters.

Bats are incredibly fast, arriving in an instant with the help of a gust of wind.

It opened its sharp claws, which gleamed with a cold light, and went straight for Su Ming's head.

Shen Qingci was about to draw his sword to provide support.

"Step aside, let me do it!"

Just as the bat swept overhead, its sharp claws about to touch his scalp...

Su Ming suddenly exerted force with both legs.

Quality Engine, Ignite!

"Bang!"

The rock strata beneath their feet instantly collapsed, creating a half-meter-deep pit.

The gravel created a ring-shaped shockwave.

A real mass of over one ton is instantly accelerated by engine thrust.

Su Ming was like a heavy cannonball fired from a gun.

It soars straight into the sky against gravity.

When the Skybat swooped down to a height of fifteen meters, it saw an impossible scene.

A dark, indistinct thing was flying up from below at an absurd speed.

It instinctively wanted to rise.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Su Ming gripped the Void-Shattering Bat's claws tightly with both hands.

The Sky-Shattering Bat froze in fright.

What filthy stuff?!

Why is it so heavy?!

It thought its prey was going to drag it off the ground.

It flapped its wings desperately, trying to gain altitude and shake off the creature.

But the next second, a violent thrust that defied all common sense about flight surged upwards from below.

The momentum of the quality engine has not dissipated.

Su Ming wasn't captured by it.

Instead, it flies upwards with its head on it!

One ton of actual mass plus the directional burst of thrust from the engine at full power output.

It acts directly on the soft abdomen of the Skybat.

"puff!"

The Sky-Shattering Bat spat out a mouthful of foul-smelling purple blood.

Its enormous body.

Under this unreasonable and violent confrontation.

They immediately lost all control of the flight.

It was forcefully pushed upwards and flew straight into the sky!

Ten meters! Twenty meters! Thirty meters!

In the night sky, a giant bat was forced to soar vertically by a single person.

The fleshy wings made a cracking sound as they were torn apart by the violent reverse airflow.

It has completely stalled and is now in a fatal state.

Su Ming led the Sky-Shattering Bat to a height of nearly fifty meters.

Until the engine thrust is exhausted.

Two figures were suspended in mid-air, with a strong wind filling their ears.

Su Ming suddenly exerted force with both legs, releasing the bat's claws.

Using the last bit of momentum, he flipped himself up.

He sat steadily on the back of the Skybreaker Bat.

He squeezed the bat's back tightly between his legs.

You had a blast, didn't you!

Time to go!

Su Ming snorted coldly.

The actual mass of one ton inside the body is no longer offset by engine thrust.

At this moment, it all transforms into pure, downward pressure.

The terrifying weight of death is over a thousand kilograms.

It immediately crashed onto a bat that was adept at gliding.

The Sky-Shattering Bat let out a desperate and mournful scream.

Those proud wings exploded on the spot.

They simply couldn't withstand this sudden, overwhelming pressure.

A cracking sound of bones breaking came from the joints.

Shen Qingci raised her head.

In the gray fog.

A handsome young man wearing baggy shorts.

Riding on the back of a giant bat with a wingspan of five meters.

One person and one bat.

It transformed into a rapidly falling meteorite.

It crashed down onto the ground.

"boom!!"

The ground trembled violently.

The rubble mixed with purple blood shot into the sky.

It directly created a crater three meters in diameter in the hard wilderness.

The Sky-Shattering Bat no longer had the strength to struggle.

The entire chest cavity was completely collapsed by this heavy pressure.

Purple blood flowed all over the ground; he was exhaling more than he was inhaling.

But it's not quite dead yet; this thing is tougher than expected.

Su Ming jumped off the bat's back and waved to Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci had been waiting for this moment.

Without saying a word, she kicked off with her foot.

His figure transformed into a blur.

Tang Hengdao's cold blade swept out horizontally.

The blade is covered with golden Gengjin marrow.

High-frequency oscillations were pushed to their extreme.

A golden arc of light streaked across the night.

The Skybreaker's head detached from its body.

He rolled out of the pit, the fierce light in his eyes slowly fading.

Shen Qingci sheathed his sword.

Su Ming kicked the headless corpse of the Shattered Sky Bat.

The shorts were intact, but one of the slippers was nowhere to be found.

He looked up at Shen Qingci, who stood holding a knife.

The night breeze lifted her long hair.

Black tactical vest.

Long, slender legs.

The Tang sword dripping with blood in his hand.

He gave Shen Qingci a thumbs up.

"Our teamwork would be absolutely devastating even on the list of geniuses."

Shen Qingci ignored him.

She looked down at the corpse of the Skybreaker Bat.

His gaze swept from the skeleton to the wing membrane, and then fell on the shattered skull.

Second-tier elite source beast.

The energy crystal is worth at least two million.

The value of high-density skeletons and sound-emitting organs is even more difficult for researchers to estimate.

She glanced sideways at Su Ming, who was already touching the corpse.

My lips twitched.

Su Ming patted the remains of the Broken Sky Bat's wings.

My mind was already calculating the numbers in the devouring prompt.

Second-tier elite source beast.

The skeletal density is at least three times higher than that of a typical second-order skeleton.

This entire corpse went down...

"bite."

A line of text pops up on the system panel in the retina.

Su Ming's hand stopped in place.

[High-frequency resonant energy residue from the sonic organs of the Shattered Sky Bat has been detected. This substance can be used to exchange for special skills in the system shop.]

[Quality Resonance (Limited Time Unlock)]

【23:59:59、58、57……】

There was no skill description, only the words "Limited Time Unlock" flashing.

Limited time offer?

The timer has started?

Su Ming's eyelids twitched suddenly.

As a veteran gamer who has been brutally beaten by various Tencent games and "Pinduoduo's 'cut a knife' promotions," I can say that I'm a very experienced player.

He was extremely sensitive to these red countdowns.

"Limited-time flash sale, only two hours left!"

"Stock is running low! Buy now or it'll be gone!"

Congratulations! You've received a limited-time discount coupon, valid only today!

When I clicked on it, I saw...

Original price 999, now 998!

"They don't even provide a skill manual, just rely on the name to make empty promises. Are they trying to play the blind box scarcity marketing game with me?"

Su Ming mentally grumbled through gritted teeth.

"It's driving OCD crazy!"

But he had to admit it.

I was indeed outmaneuvered by the system's trick.

Based on his years of experience of being taken advantage of.

In the hierarchy of system flow.

These "limited-time" items are extremely polarized.

It's either a ruthless scam involving pig butchering and defrauding users of in-game purchase packages.

Either it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a T0-level god-tier skill so powerful it disrupts the balance!

"Mass resonance..." Su Ming pondered these four words repeatedly in his mind.

Common sense about physics told him.

Once mass and vibration are combined.

The destructive power has increased exponentially.

"A ton of absolute mass, combined with any resonance, makes it a deadly weapon!"

"If this were to hit someone face-to-face, wouldn't it shake the enemy's balls to a pulp...?"

Su Ming glanced at the Void-Shattering Bat's head, which had already separated from its body.

The organ that was still emitting residual vibrations was slowly fading away.

He covered the head with his hand.

Just stuff it into the system space.

Never mind, I'll just put it away first.

far away.

The Wilderness Mastiff, Dahuang, poked half its head out from behind the rock.

Only after confirming that the Sky-Shattering Bat was completely dead did it scurry over.

It wagged its tail wildly at Shen Qingci, eager to claim credit.

It lay motionless behind the rock the whole time.

Its claws even got itself stuck in a crevice in the rock.

I was afraid it would be carried away by the wind.

Su Ming glanced at it sideways.

"With your looks, you still have the nerve to wag your tail?"

Big Yellow froze for a moment.

It turned its head toward Su Ming.

Then he turned to Shen Qingci.

Then back to Su Ming.

Ultimately, she chose to bury her entire face in Shen Qingci's palm.

Its tail wagged even faster.

This is a political stance it has carefully considered.

Su Ming: "..."

Shen Qingci squatted down.

A crystal emitting a dark purple glow was unearthed from the crack in the skull of a Skybat.

Second-tier elite-level source energy crystal, dark purple.

It was a whole size larger than a regular second-tier alien beast crystal.

She stood up, holding the crystal in her hand.

She glanced at Su Ming apologetically.

"I need this crystal for my training quest..."

"It's yours, it's yours."

Su Ming readily agreed.

His gaze, however, remained fixed on the remaining remains of the Skybreaker Bat.

What's so special about crystallization?

The real main course is the entire corpse of this Skybreaker Bat.

Plus the system's limited-time unlockable [Mass Resonance]...

Tonight's battle was another huge win!
