Game Universe: Awakening and Enhancing Everything at the Start

Chapter 36 Embarking on a New Journey

Huang Hong looked up at the sky, silently estimating the speed at which the cracks were spreading. After confirming that there was enough time, he slightly changed the direction he was heading.

Huang Hong is a rational person who has always believed in the principle of "when you are successful, you should help the world; when you are unsuccessful, you should cultivate your own virtue." The current situation in Anyue City, where the sky is falling and the earth is collapsing, is clearly beyond his control. However, this does not prevent him from taking a look at Longteng Square when he has time.

I don't expect to be of any help, but at least it gives me some peace of mind.

Huang Hong soon arrived at his destination. From a great distance, he could see that the sky above Longteng Square was shrouded in a hazy purple halo.

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the once-giant purple tree had grown considerably larger, its thick trunk piercing the sky and its enormous canopy spreading out, casting long shadows on the ground.

To Huang Hong's surprise, the giant purple tree, which had previously emitted only a pale purple light in his enhanced vision, had now turned a deep purple, and the light was extremely dazzling.

The protective light released by the giant purple tree not only enveloped Dragon Plaza, but also covered a large area around it.

The monsters throughout Anyue City seemed to understand that a great calamity was about to befall them, and the vast majority of them ran around aimlessly like headless flies.

Only a very small number of high-level monsters with a certain level of intelligence cautiously entered the protective light of the purple giant tree, obediently hiding in the outer corners, not interfering with or affecting each other. Even when they occasionally encountered humans fleeing from disaster, they unusually did not attack them, but allowed these humans to enter Dragon Soaring Plaza.

Huang Hong paused for a moment, then without further hesitation, rushed towards the direction of the Giant Beast Plains.

There are tens of thousands of people in Dragon Plaza, and it is impossible to evacuate them from Anyue City in a short time. Therefore, the giant purple tree is the only lifeline.

Huang Hong didn't know what the purple giant tree's purpose was in doing this, but in any case, it was a good thing for the survivors of Anyue City.

Of course, Huang Hong himself doesn't need this "lifeline." He needs to find a way to escape the Paradise World first, and then figure out how to get through that damned trial!

He charged forward, occasionally encountering monsters that had gone mad, but he easily killed them.

With Huang Hong's current 8 points of physique, which is more than three times the strength of his 5 points of physique, plus the skill bonuses and the many techniques attached to various extraordinary knowledge, it can be said that he can run at full speed for an hour without exhausting his stamina.

If Huang Hong uses his "qi" while running, his speed and endurance will be greatly enhanced.

Without needing to follow conventional routes, Huang Hong could leap over any obstacles he encountered, and in this straight-line running, he covered a distance of eight or nine kilometers in less than ten minutes.

Once outside the city limits, Huang Hong felt a sense of relief, as the ever-present aura of destruction dissipated considerably.

He looked up at the sky again and found that although there were also cracks spreading here, there were far fewer than in the city.

As Huang Hong continued running, he passed a gas station in the suburbs and suddenly noticed something unusual ahead. At the edge of his vision, a streak of blood was rapidly spreading in his direction.

Huang Hong's heart tightened, and he slightly changed direction, trying to get as far away from the blood as possible.

After running for a while, when the museum was in sight, a wild roar suddenly rang out.

Huang Hong looked in the direction of the sound, and his pupils suddenly contracted...

That was the flesh mountain monster that Huang Hong had encountered before. The image of the latter sitting next to the gate, devouring humans with great relish, had a huge impact on Huang Hong. After that, the flesh mountain monster wandered away. He never expected to meet it again under these circumstances.

At this moment, the flesh mountain monster had undergone a huge change. Its original three-meter body had swelled up, and its entire body was covered with fleshy tumors of varying sizes, making it look extremely deformed. Only its head, which had not changed much, hung on its bloated body, retaining some of its original appearance.

As Huang Hong looked at the flesh mountain monster, the latter had already noticed him first.

Then the flesh mountain monster charged madly toward Huang Hong at a speed completely disproportionate to its size.

Huang Hong paused slightly, then without hesitation donned his steel armor, which boosted his speed by a significant amount with an additional 8 points of agility.

Normally, Huang Hong would have been interested in fighting the Flesh Mountain Monster, the newbie village boss, but not now. Time was limited, and it was more important to leave Anyue City first.

Just when Huang Hong thought he could quickly shake off the Mountain of Flesh monster, what happened next almost made his jaw drop.

As the prey ran further and further away, the flesh mountain monster let out a strange cry. Its arm, like that of a mollusk, suddenly extended more than ten meters and plunged into the ground. Then, with the force of its arm, it propelled its body across the distance in a way that was neither scientific nor reasonable. Immediately afterward, another arm extended out.

Using this alternating method of advancing, the speed of the flesh mountain monster increased dramatically, hanging tightly behind Huang Hong.

At the same time, the tumors on the flesh mountain monster's body grew rapidly, and the largest ones had become transparent, revealing a clear, yellowish, viscous pus inside.

"Bang!~"

The tumor burst open, and the pus sprayed towards Huang Hong like projectiles.

When Huang Hong turned his head and saw this scene, his face turned green. He quickly dodged to the side to avoid these unclean things.

The pus hit the ground, making a hissing sound as it eroded, and quickly dried and shrank, seemingly having some kind of slowing effect.

"Bang! ~ Bang! ~ Bang! ~..."

As the sounds continued, more pus gushed out.

Huang Hong stopped running and turned to charge at the flesh mountain monster.

Since the monster is determined to die, he doesn't mind granting his wish!

Huang Hong nimbly dodged the gushing pus. Facing the two soft arms lashing out from the left and right, he spun around and leaped, his body exploding outwards like a leaping tiger as he burst through the gap.

A sound like a tiger's roar came from the air, and two blazing tiger claws appeared, severing the two soft arms.

The monster roared in pain, and fleshy buds writhed at the broken ends of its arms. Even the two severed arms that had fallen to the ground were throbbing wildly, as if trying to rejoin themselves.

However, wisps of flame kept emerging from the broken surface, interfering with their self-healing process.

Each upgrade in a fighter's class level not only unlocks the talent tree but also brings some more basic benefits, such as a slight increase in basic attributes and an increase in the total amount of "Ki".

Of course, this improvement is not much. In terms of the data on the superhuman panel, there is no substantial change in the basic attributes. However, the total amount of "Qi" has more than doubled since I first became a fighter. Although it is still a drop in the ocean, at least I don't have to use it as carefully as I did at the beginning.
