Chapter 273

After all, he still had a leaf from the Enlightenment Tree.

However, Chen Ang was not in a hurry now, so he did not intend to use it yet.

By comparison, Chen Ang looked at the Refinement Fish soup beside him—which he had deliberately kept away from the deprivation and erosion of the death mist, but which had long since gone cold—and could not help but give a wry smile.

Fortunately, this thing counted as a heaven-sent treasure; its hot or cold state would not affect its inherent efficacy.

It was just that the soup tasted better when hot.

But now, naturally, he could not be concerned about such things.

Chen Ang picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

A scorching sensation swept through his entire body.

His physique was being improved and strengthened.

"Hoo."

"Refreshing."

"However, although the effect of the Refinement Fish is not bad, for the current me, the improvement is not that significant anymore. If only I had a Giant God Fruit."

A single Giant God Fruit would be enough to increase his overall attributes by one or two hundred points.

But that kind of thing was extremely rare; Chen Ang could only think about it.

The improvement was complete.

Glancing at his attributes, Chen Ang was still quite satisfied in his heart.

【Chen Ang.】

【Body: 2180.】

【Strength: 2184.】

【Agility: 2182.】

【Spirit: 2168.】

His heart stirred.

The attributes vanished.

Chen Ang twisted his neck, stretched his body, and intended to continue on his way.

There was not much time left before the competition; this time, not to mention other existences, people like Liu Mo in the academy might also participate.

If he did not have sufficient strength and enough trump cards, Chen Ang did not think he could take first place.

And the Miracle Lotus was something he absolutely had to obtain.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Ang cast his gaze around the surroundings, then frowned. "Tsk, there isn't even a single treasure chest nearby; it looks like I have to go to a more distant place."

Shaking his head, Chen Ang randomly chose a direction, executed the Ghost Shadow Step, and set off, turning into a lingering shadow.

One quarter of an hour.

Two quarters of an hour.

One hour.

Two hours.

Chen Ang did not know how long he had been running before he arrived from the lush ancient forest at a special area where a plain, a snow-capped mountain, and a volcano intersected.

At the same time, a prompt that interested Chen Ang finally floated before his eyes:

【A Flame Giant Dragon is resting in this direction; its strength is very high, it is suggested not to head there.】

【Ten thousand miles away in this direction is the battlefield of the Flash Spirit race and the Shadow Ghost race, a war of ten thousand people; if you don't want to die, it is suggested not to go.】

【There is a Bronze Treasure Chest in this direction, but it is guarded by a Hell Three-Headed Dog nearby.】

【There is a tribe of Cat-Beastmen in this direction who fled here from a world on the verge of perishing; they are facing a crisis of life and death. If you help them, you will receive generous rewards, and who knows, there might even be cat-ear girls who will offer themselves to you~】

Cat-ear girls? He was completely uninterested.

It was mainly for the reward.

Chen Ang rubbed his nose and muttered to himself.

228: Dungeon speculation, Origin Coin.

Alright.

To tell the truth, Chen Ang was still quite interested in cat-ear girls.

Of course.

Actually, fox-girls, leopard-girls, tiger-girls, and the like—Chen Ang was quite interested in all of them.

But before that, he had better go get the Bronze Treasure Chest first.

Just as he made his decision.

"Roar~"

A roar sounded.

The ground suddenly split open, and immediately after, a worm that looked like an earthworm but had a mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth suddenly attacked, opening that hideous mouth that made one's scalp tingle to swallow Chen Ang in one gulp.

Chen Ang raised an eyebrow, immediately twisted his body to dodge, and threw a punch.

Dragon Fist—

Boom!

A violent blow.

Under the sweep of the terrifying shockwave, the worm was blasted away by the punch.

And the place that was hit had its scales shattered, revealing a bloody hole; a single blow had pierced through its body.

When it fell to the ground in the distance, it also turned into a gradually cooling corpse on the spot.

"Strange."

Chen Ang walked to the side of the corpse, squatted down, and observed it while stroking his chin, muttering to himself. "Black scales; it's not a Desert Worm, and that kind of monster wouldn't live in this kind of place."

"It looks more like a Fang Ghost Worm."

As he spoke, Chen Ang lifted the worm's corpse, revealing the area underneath.

Sure enough.

There were two rows of dense, tiny feet, looking like the hundred feet of a centipede, which were generally hard to notice.

He hadn't noticed it just now, but upon seeing it now, Chen Ang confirmed his thought.

Among these, there was a difference.

If it were other worms, it wouldn't be anything.

But the Fang Ghost Worm belonged to the dungeon creatures.

This kind of creature generally lived in the underground world.

Note, the underground world referred to here does not mean the underground world beneath the soil.

Rather, there are some worlds that are purely underground worlds; there is no such thing as a surface.

The entire world is a dungeon, like a dungeon that cannot be dug through, so this kind of creature is also collectively referred to as a dungeon-faction creature.

In the dungeon, there are also special Dark Giant Dragons and Ghost Dragons and such existences, as well as the rumored sexy black-skinned elves—ahem, that is, Dark Elves.

"Strange, how could a Fang Ghost Worm appear here?"

Chen Ang's eyes were strange.

If it were any intelligent creature from a dungeon world appearing here, he wouldn't be surprised.

Because that would mean the other party also entered the Rift Battlefield through some place to obtain opportunities.

But the Fang Ghost Worm belongs to a creature without reason, only instinct, and dungeon creatures are very special.

Before they grow up, only the environment of the dungeon world can allow them to grow; they would die in other places.

That is to say, the Fang Ghost Worm in front of him could not have grown up living in this area; it could only come from the dungeon world.

But even if the dungeon world had an entrance to the Rift Battlefield, it would absolutely be impossible to let a Fang Ghost Worm in.

One must know that the entrance locations of the Rift Battlefield, in any world, are controlled by major forces; how could they possibly let a Fang Ghost Worm in?

Chen Ang, who was pondering, suddenly had his eyes light up, a sliver of brilliance flashing through his eyes. "So... there is an entrance to the dungeon world nearby, right?"

The Rift Battlefield itself belongs to the center point where countless worlds intersect.

Countless worlds can come to the Rift Battlefield.

But at the same time, one can also go to countless worlds through the Rift Battlefield.

However, this requires discovering the rifts of random loners.

And these rifts, once born, will not disappear. ===== CHAPTER 274 =====
