San Tian Liang Jue
Chapter 1165 The Edge of the Highlands
When he came back to his senses, Feng Bujue was already surrounded by a black fighting aura, and the extreme pain from before had also disappeared.
"If it's more than forty kilometers in three minutes..." Feng Bujue was doing the math in his head, but he was already rushing forward.
Whoosh—
Under the cover of the demon fighting aura, he was like a ball of black fire, skimming across the ground.
"Huh?" The first to be overtaken by him was Serajiong. This Horse-Head Bro hadn't even seen what went past him. It wasn't until five seconds after Jue-Ge passed that he belatedly muttered, "Was that...Poker Man?"
Shoom—
The second to be overtaken by the "black fireball" was the Bananeater.
After hearing a gust of wind, this ape reacted immediately... His vision barely kept up with Jue-Ge's figure for two seconds.
During those two seconds, although his helmet's dynamic capture system failed to analyze information such as the opponent's "energy nature," "power output principle," or "action mode," it did measure the "speed"—approximately one thousand hooers per hour.
"Whoa~ not bad." Cold sweat had already appeared on the Bananeater's forehead. "Although the top speed of my armor can also be increased to one thousand three hundred hooers per hour (slightly faster than Mach 1), flying at that speed will quickly deplete the energy (the Tin Foil Hero's armor is even faster and has perpetual energy)..." He mused to himself, "And Poker Man seems to be moving using his own power..."
Swish—
Two seconds later, Feng Bujue darted past Green Meteor.
"Woah..." Green Meteor thought in surprise, "Is this the power of the star system level..."
And the last one to be overtaken by Jue-Ge... was naturally Fleaman.
As Feng Bujue passed him, he even shouted, "Sorry! I'll go first vom-vom--"
Because he was running so fast, that was all he could say... And that was only because he was relatively close to Fleaman and in a relatively stationary situation.
...
Three minutes later, at the border between "Shady Highlands" and the Sakai region.
"Haa...haa..." Feng Bujue had deliberately found a deserted place and was lying there sprawled out, panting heavily.
During the three minutes of [Devil's Descent], his survival value was considered to be 300%, his stamina and spiritual power were infinite, and his physical abilities were also enhanced several times over... Therefore, he was able to use that amazing speed just now to run for his life.
However, once the three-minute time limit was up, he would face a state of 1% survival value, 0 stamina value, and 0 spiritual power value, and be immune to medical skills and all beneficial consumables for the next five minutes.
Simply put... no matter what, he would have to lie flat for a few minutes under the mental impact of both stamina and spiritual power being empty.
To be honest, this was very dangerous. If a hostile creature happened to pass by at this time... even a poisonous scorpion could kill Jue-Ge with 1% health.
But... he had no choice.
If he were to run that "forty hooers" with his regular abilities, there would only be two scenarios: first, run with those four planet-level guys, and then run out of stamina halfway—and collapse; second, run at his own pace at a constant speed, and by the time he reached his destination... the day lilies would be cold.
In order to maintain his "star system-level hero" image, Jue-Ge could only choose the current plan.
"Haa...haa...It's fine..." Feng Bujue lay in a "大" (da - big) shape, bathed in the orange sunlight, and whispered, "According to my visual estimate... these guys' speed is about three hundred kilometers per hour, and it will take them about eight minutes to run to this position; subtracting the three minutes that have passed, I can rest for another five minutes. By then... the stamina recovered naturally will at least allow me to stand up and walk, and I can also drink survival value supplements."
He was right. At Fleaman's original speed, it would indeed take them eight minutes to run here; but... because they were stimulated by him, those few became a little more serious and arrived in the seventh minute.
When the four ran to Jue-Ge's side, the latter deliberately struck a very seductive pose—hands behind his head, legs crossed, lying gracefully on the ground.
"Yo~ hello everyone." Feng Bujue's stamina value was barely in the triple digits at this time, but his acting skills could not be measured by numbers. "Because I accidentally ran too fast, I took a sunbath here and waited for you guys."
"You bastard..." At this time, Fleaman was unhappy. He looked down at Jue-Ge with a displeased expression and said unhappily, "Are you using your actions to show your dissatisfaction with me?"
As he spoke, the "blue carapace" on Fleaman's body was visibly peeling off and quickly turning into dust, scattering in the wind.
Seeing this scene, Feng Bujue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Taking off the carapace means he won't 'run' again in a short time, right."
"Ah...no, no, just kidding." Two seconds later, Jue-Ge gave an awkward smile and sat up. "Actually, it's like this..." His lies came as soon as he opened his mouth, "That move of mine just now... has a flaw. Once you use this move to run, you have to run the whole way in one breath; if you stop or slow down midway, you won't be able to use it again for a short time."
"Oh..." Fleaman believed Jue-Ge's words without thinking. "I see... you should have said so earlier."
"I just found a chance to say it." Feng Bujue shrugged and smiled, then stood up and casually patted the dust off his clothes.
"Hehe... actually, I already noticed some signs just now." The Bananeater used his wise voice and smiled, adding a bit of hindsight, "I could tell at a glance that the black energy on your body wasn't a regular ability that could be used casually."
In a sense, the Bananeater's speculation was quite reliable. Of course... in the end, there was some truth to Feng Bujue's statement.
"Yes, yes." Feng Bujue followed the example and smiled, "Please don't take offense."
"Anyway... now that everyone has arrived." The next second, Fleaman very pragmatically brought the topic back to business. "Then let's start the next step..." He pointed to the direction of Shady Highlands. "The front is the range of Shady Highlands. After entering that area, we must slow down and proceed with caution..." His tone faintly revealed a hint of coldness. "Don't think that because we are still far from the main battlefield of the Bear Child Race and the Square Dancing Race, we can relax our vigilance... You must know that those aliens lurking in the areas surrounding the highlands may be even more dangerous than the two major races on the battlefield... Especially the Beggar Race, I've already talked about their reconnaissance capabilities, and their territorial awareness is second only to the Square Dancing Race... Anyone who sets foot on the territory they recognize, the consequences..."
Chih—
No sooner said than done!
Just as Fleaman was speaking, the sound of wind breaking suddenly rose!
But it could be seen that a black shadow had already flown towards him.
