Chapter 417 How Fast

Chapter 417 How Fast
In the afternoon.

The students integrated into the Rusty Iron Fortress and began to act separately.

Lady Cinder rejected many students' applications to join the team. She was not cruel enough to use these silver juniors to fish. If they encountered a gold battle, the aftermath alone would be enough to take their lives.

"No one is looking for you?"

The two took the elevator down from the upper level of the fortress. When Lady Ash learned that no one had looked for Amber, her face looked a little surprised.

"Yes and no."

Jiang He didn't take it seriously. There were some particularly persistent ones, but they would be obedient after a magic eye of judgment. He wouldn't kill them, but they would inevitably have to stay in the infirmary for a few days.

With a bang, the elevator stopped.

The metal door opened and the two came directly to the ground. A hundred meters ahead was the lightless forest.

The black trees were tall and twisted, with thick trunks and intricate roots, and branches like the skinny arms of the dead, stretching out in all directions. Occasionally, a few faint rays of light struggled to shine through, forming sparse spots of light on the ground covered with fallen leaves and humus, making the surroundings even darker.

Strong winds blew through the forest, alternating between high-pitched and whimpering sounds. The branches and leaves rubbed against each other, making rustling sounds, as if countless fallen ghosts were lurking and spying on them.

There was a foul smell all around, but it didn't come from rotting leaves. The bodies of people who died in the forest decayed extremely slowly. The stench from decades ago still lingers today and is still frown-inducing.

The entire lightless forest was gloomy, depressing, eerie and dark.

Jiang He was the first to step onto the forest floor, and the humus sucked onto the soles of his shoes like a quagmire.

"The visibility is only a dozen meters." Lady Ashes also entered the forest and whispered, "This distance is fleeting for gold. We must always pay full attention to prevent encounters. I am ready to go back and have a headache."

In this war, the Theocracy will certainly send out gold. Any negligence could result in death in an accident. No matter whether it is silver or gold, it will be torture in the Lightless Forest.

"Why do you always speak in a low voice?" Jiang He asked with his head tilted.

Lady Ashes was startled when she heard this, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Really."

Jiang He almost had a question mark on his head. This guy was completely unaware of this obvious situation.

The two continued to walk straight ahead.

No insects, no animals, no birds.

The forest was completely dead and lifeless.

The enemy may appear in the next second, or may not appear for several days.

For three hours, the two found nothing.

"The efficiency is too low." Jiang He commented.

Lady Ash rolled her eyes secretly. "If it were easy, the instructor wouldn't have offered such a high reward."

"Get ready for battle."

"Um???"

Jiang He opened his all-seeing eye, and his eyes turned pure white.

Lady Ash was slightly stunned upon seeing this. In terms of appearance, the other person was indeed extremely outstanding, with pure white eyes and long platinum hair, she exuded a unique kind of holiness.

"Wait, don't waste energy." Lady Ash came back to her senses and her expression changed. She quickly reminded them that if the energy decayed to a certain extent, they would have to go back home. Energy accounts for at least half of the weight in the combat power of living beings.

"As a teammate, don't make me repeat myself twice."

Jiang He decisively launched an epic supernatural burst, increasing the effect of the All-Seeing Eye by 301%.

This top-level skill, which is a combination of multiple visual abilities, has, after being greatly enhanced, surpassed the level of Immortal by half a level, and can take in everything within a radius of 100 miles.

Under the astonished gaze of Lady Ash, the familiar live Thunder sandbox appeared again.

"275 degrees northwest, 12 kilometers, golden creatures."

Jiang He closed his eyes. The others were just rotten fish and shrimp. There was no need to rush and hunt them. Lady Ashes was a little bit unbelievable: "Has your perception ability reached the epic level?"

Despite her repeated overestimation, she found that the result was still underestimated. It was not that she did not believe the other party's intelligence, but that the peak silver creatures with epic perception abilities were a bit too unpopular.

Jiang He shook his head and replied: "Not quite, but it's enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot with a bang. The 5.6 times speed provided by the time rift alone made him almost the best among ordinary creatures in the Golden Age.

In a straight line along the way, countless black trees collapsed.

Lady Ash exhaled a long breath, and her ultimate ability, Oathbreaker, was activated. Pure golden energy surged in her body. When she "betrayed" herself, some kind of restraint on her body seemed to be released. Silver light flowed from the ends of her long hair and surrounded her body, and all attribute effects increased by 80%.

"Broken Oath - Speed."

When the second ultimate ability is activated, the original improvement in all attributes disappears, and it becomes just an enhancement of speed. The reward for concentration is a numerical improvement, and the speed increases by 200%.

boom!
Lady Ash took a step forward, moving rapidly along the straight passage left by someone. The severe physical strain caused her smooth skin to crack and bleed, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Twelve kilometers away.

A middle-aged man in a holy robe walked in the dark brown forest, unaware of the impending danger. The lightless forest suppressed perception, including the instinctive warnings of living things.

Until he heard an unobstructed explosion in his ears, the middle-aged saint suddenly turned his head and his expression changed from calm to panic.

"what's the situation!"

The blood and malice like a bloodthirsty beast rushed towards me, as if millions of living beings were wailing together.

A brilliant silver light bloomed between heaven and earth. The extreme sharpness contained in the tip of the gun was indestructible.

The middle-aged saint wanted to retreat, but the Immortal-level confinement of the Changhen Dragon Spear had already fallen. The spear light in front of him was too dazzling, and he could only welcome death in despair.

boom!
Jiang He rushed forward with a gun and blew up the opponent's head with one blow.

Click!

The core of the domain is shattered.

The middle-aged saint returned from death and immediately turned into a half-ghost. His whole body became like woven silk threads, and his resistance to physical damage was significantly improved. Incomparably tough silk threads intertwined in front of him to form a shield, layer upon layer, extremely tight.

Unfortunately, Jiang He’s second shot had already arrived.

The body of the Martial Saint, forged by thousands of years of martial arts, will convert all damage into true damage when launching the Martial Saint Attack.

Hiss!

The tip of the spear tore through the silk shield and pierced the prey's head again.

Until death came, the middle-aged saint was still mostly confused, and he didn't even have time to figure out who his enemy was.

Skull fragments splattered, sweeping down the surrounding black trees. The blood that fell to the ground was powerful enough to create bullet-like holes. The aftermath of the gun tip echoed in front, clearing an area of ​​hundreds of meters and killing several wandering Silver Guards of the Church.

[Hint: You have killed the Golden Saint and obtained Life Essence*1]
Jiang He pierced the enemy's heart with one hand and sucked the blood.

[Hint: Your Undying Blood Poison has been upgraded to LV60]
The dried up, headless body of the middle-aged saint fell down.

The late-coming Lady Ash had only suspicion and shock on her face. She killed ordinary gold in the blink of an eye. How fast was it?

"died?"

"if not."

Jiang He sat cross-legged on the spot. He had no strength left and it was not worth wasting time. As long as his expression remained normal, no one would be able to tell that he was weak at the moment.

Sure enough, when Lady Ash saw the other party sitting on the ground without any scruples and even taking out ingredients to cook, she was immediately shocked.
