Electromagnetic Tyrant

Silent Wasteland is located in the southern hemisphere of the Black Ring Star.

Ji Xinghuo took a transport plane and after several hours of flight, he crossed the equator and passed under the spectacular planetary rings. He then sailed for more than two hours across the ocean and arrived at a continent in the southern hemisphere.

Looking out the porthole, the earth is filled with shocking craters.

Once upon a time, this continent was the most prosperous place on the Black Ring Planet.

But in the war more than 1,500 years ago, after the only satellite shattered and fell, most of the satellite fragments hit this continent, completely changing the environmental landscape.

Most of the original continent of nearly 300 million square kilometers was submerged by the ocean, forming countless large and small islands.

The Silent Wasteland is the largest remaining piece of land, covering an area of ​​more than 20 million square kilometers. The reason why it is called "Silent Wasteland" is because this area is like a dead place compared to other places.

After being bombarded by meteorites, the entire continent suffered a nuclear strike.

There are dozens of ruined cities in the wasteland.

The entire Black Ring Planet is full of similar ruins. Nuclear pollution still remains, which has also caused countless monsters to mutate, making it very dangerous for ordinary people.

However, no matter how dangerous it is, there are still many monster activities and vitality.

There was silence in the Silent Wasteland.

At least that's how it appears on the surface, but in reality, it's one of the most dangerous areas on the Black Ring.

Because this wasteland is occupied by "Earth Devouring Insects".

They are a unique species of the Black Ring Star. They are mutated from a species called "earth-boring insects" in the star world under nuclear radiation. Their scientific name is "black-ring earth-eating insects". They are more terrifying than the earth-boring insects and are difficult to hunt. kill.

However, no matter how difficult it is to hunt monsters, they can't stop hunters. The alien species of Earth-devouring Insects are of high value, and strangers venture into the silent wasteland all year round.

There are several strongholds on the edge of the Silent Wasteland.

The transport plane landed at the stronghold in the northern wasteland.

Ji Xinghuo walked away.

This time, he did not bring the branch-antlered cloud deer with him. Firstly, it was too cumbersome to use, and secondly, the conditions in the silent wasteland were not suitable for bringing a mount, so he stored it at a battle pet service center at the transfer station.

This stronghold is not big, almost like a small town. There are only two intersecting streets as the main roads, with hundreds of buildings on both sides.

However, there is a lot of foot traffic.

Ji Xinghuo's electromagnetic induction swept through and the entire gathering point was clearly visible. Stepping on the ground, it felt very hard. The entire underground of the gathering point was cast with steel, with an average thickness of more than five meters. This was obviously to prevent earth-eating insects.

"What free news, I don't know how many hands it has spread..." He couldn't help complaining as he looked at the people coming and going in the gathering place.

There are two to three thousand people in a small gathering place.

Those hunting teams were almost all led by legendary warriors, and each of them was quite powerful. There were also many powerful warriors at the level of kings. With just a random scan using electromagnetic induction, they found seven or eight of them, none of whom were easy to mess with.

You don't need to ask to know that everyone is here for the black-ringed earth-devouring insect.

Ji Xinghuo turned around in the gathering point.

On the surface, he was walking around casually, but electromagnetic induction enveloped the entire gathering point. He locked onto a densely populated place like a hotel bar, focused a little, received the sound wave signals caused by those people's words, and translated them into content.

Soon, Ji Xinghuo caught the key news.

"There are more and more people."

"Someone must be deliberately spreading news to muddy the waters. Who the hell is it?"

"Boss, there is no point in talking about this now. We must find the Earth-eating Insect before others do!"

"It's not that easy..."

"The most important thing for us now is to recruit new teammates and increase our strength."

This is a hunting team that has just returned from the wilderness. They have replenished ammunition, food, water, and repaired their equipment. They are gathering in a private room of a restaurant to discuss in a low voice.

Ji Xinghuo learned from what he said that they had learned about the Earth-devouring Insects more than 20 days ago and went into the wasteland to search, but found nothing and lost two teammates.

There were three hunting teams in similar situations.

Ji Xinghuo listened at the same time, and after a while, he pieced together the fragmented information.

It turned out that the first person to discover the earthquake-magnitude Earth-devouring Insect was a team of three legendary strongmen. 35 days ago, they were attacked by the Earth-eating Insect in the center of the silent wasteland south of , only one came back alive.

The only survivor was Dan Man. After treatment at the southern stronghold in the wasteland, he began to form a new team to prepare for hunting.

But things were not kept secret, and the news spread.

The second group of people who learned the inside story also secretly joined the hunt. In the next ten days, three teams discovered the target one after another, but all suffered heavy casualties and only a few people escaped.

Gradually, the news of the earth-eating insects spread completely, and more and more people rushed to the Silent Wasteland.

However, no one has found the Earth-eating Insect so far.

The last time someone encountered it was 20 days ago, in the western part of the Silent Wasteland, more than 2,600 kilometers away from the first time it was encountered.

Ji Xinghuo opened the satellite map on his personal terminal and marked the location.

From the location where the Geophagous Insect was first discovered to the last, the five known locations where it appeared were all marked on the map according to time.

It was obvious that the Earth-eating Insect was moving westward.

Although there were two round trips during this period, the overall direction was getting closer and closer to the western part of the silent wasteland.

"To the west?"

Ji Xinghuo searches for information.

There is nothing special about the western part of Silent Wasteland. Like other areas of the wasteland, it is filled with nuclear radiation and some urban ruins.

"Maybe it's not heading west, it's just misleading." Ji Xinghuo thought. The intelligence of earthquake-magnitude monsters is already very high. They should not be treated as ordinary monsters, but as powerful enemies.

Moreover, it has been 20 days since it last appeared, so this information may have lost its timeliness.

"Let's look for it first." Ji Xinghuo shook his head secretly.

In more than 20 million square kilometers of wasteland, finding an earth-eating insect is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Even if his perception is extremely powerful, electromagnetic induction and the dark perspective of the Darkest Sphere form a God's perspective, and the search efficiency is a thousand times higher than others, but whether he can find the target still depends on luck.

Fortunately, there are a lot of earth-devouring insects in the Silent Wasteland, but we don't know how much spiritual source they can provide.

At this time, Ji Xinghuo saw a store ahead.

Specializes in selling flying motorcycles. This kind of motorcycle is different from the ones on earth. It can fly at low altitude and is the best means of transportation in the silent wasteland. It can avoid many dangers by keeping it off the ground.

Hunters kept coming into the store and buying flying motorcycles to fly out.

"It's more convenient to buy one for cover."

Ji Xinghuo walked into the store.

Soon, he was riding a black flying motorcycle that he bought for more than 5,000 real dragon coins, with two saddlebags attached to the back. Then he bought some supplies, packed them into the boxes, and flew out of the gathering point alone.

There are many loners like this and they don't attract anyone's attention.

After leaving the stronghold, Ji Xinghuo flew southwest.

Boom boom boom...

Amidst the low roar of the engine, the flying motorcycle maintained a height of about 20 meters above the ground and sped along according to the navigation.

Ji Xinghuo turned on automatic driving and looked down at the ground.

When we first entered the wilderness, the land was very desolate, with only a few shrubs and weeds. As we went tens of kilometers deeper, the vegetation gradually increased, sparse forests appeared, and the terrain began to undulate. The wasteland was not a flat plain, but also had mountains and rivers.

Ji Xinghuo looked through the ground, and the earth became transparent in his field of vision. Although it was covered with black shadow, it was clear enough to see the situation underground.

At the deepest point, you can even see a thousand meters underground!

In a larger range, with a radius of 15 kilometers with itself as the center, and within the coverage of electromagnetic induction, all movements are mapped in the mind and are under control.

"Earth-eating insect?"

Ji Xinghuo immediately made a discovery.

He controlled the steering of the flying motorcycle and quickly approached the target.

Low-level earth-devouring insects are accustomed to living in groups. As they evolve and become stronger, they will live in isolation and even devour their own kind.

Before he even got close, Ji Xinghuo's gaze penetrated the ground. About two hundred meters underground, there were three earth-eating insects lurking.

They have the appearance of worms, with only trunks and no limbs, but they are countless times larger than worms. The largest one is only more than seven meters long and more than one meter in diameter, and the other two smaller ones are more than five meters long.

"One is super class and two are elite."

Ji Xinghuo saw through the situation of the Earth-eating Insects and judged their strength level based on their energy response.

Earth-eating insects grow extremely fast, and their average strength is much higher than that of ordinary monsters.

Suddenly, the largest earth-eating insect moved.

"The perception is so keen!"

Ji Xinghuo was a little surprised.

On the way here, he had read information about the Earth-eating Insects, and the most noteworthy thing about them was their powerful sense of touch.

All terrestrial insects have a "micro-tactile sense". When they are lurking underground, they rely on this super sense of touch to detect prey passing by on the ground, and then silently swim upstream to launch an attack.

Ji Xinghuo was more than five hundred meters away from them, and he was flying in mid-air. The sound of the flying motorcycle's engine was transmitted to the ground, producing extremely weak vibrations that could be detected by them.

"It's definitely more than just a slight touch."

"It should be related to the geological environment here, making them more sensitive to vibrations."

Ji Xinghuo pretended not to know and continued flying over.

The three earth-eating insects swam quickly underground. They all had the ability to "escape from the earth". The thick soil was like sea water, bypassing the rocks blocking the road. They made no movement as they moved, and quickly floated to the surface.

Just at this moment, Ji Xinghuo's flying motorcycle arrived.

The leader of the Earth Devouring Insect suddenly raised its head, its front end poked out of the ground, and then split open, forming a terrifying mouth with an inner wall covered with sharp fangs, and spewed out a huge ball of gray-white mucus towards Ji Xinghuo in the sky.

This ball of slime is as big as a water tank and shoots extremely fast, like a cannonball blasting into the sky.

At the same time, the gravity within hundreds of meters around him suddenly increased.

The Earth Devouring Insects have the ability to change gravity, and their effects on increasing gravity can be superimposed, so they are often released together when hunting targets.

The other two Earth Devouring Insects increased their gravity and sprayed out gray-white mucus from different directions.

The flying motorcycle sank violently.

Carrying Ji Xinghuo was like a prey caught in a spider's web.

But in the next second, with a bang, Ji Xinghuo accelerated his flying motorcycle instantly and flew out of the gravity field of the Earth-eating Insect. Three balls of gray-white slime exploded behind him, but they did not touch him at all.

Boom!

The sky lit up and there was a loud thunder.

Three bolts of psychic lightning struck down, hitting three Earth-eating Insects respectively, and chopped the weaker two into charcoal on the spot.

The strongest Earth-eating Insect let out a strange roar from its mouth, and was about to shrink back underground. Ji Xinghuo grabbed it from the air, and the entire land was overturned by invisible force, and the huge insect body in it was also thrown away. was lifted into the air.

When he first arrived in Silent Wilderness, Ji Xinghuo discovered that the metal content in the soil here was extremely high, so high that it was a bit abnormal.

By manipulating metal, he can control objects through space.

The Earth Devouring Insect was lifted into the sky, but before it landed, Ji Xinghuo shot him several times with a plasma pistol, and gray plasma burst out.

It was already dead when it hit the ground.

[Spiritual energy +75]

"so much?"

Ji Xinghuo was overjoyed. It was just a super monster, but it had absorbed 75 points of spiritual energy.

The other two elite ones also have more than 30 points.

This is more than the spiritual source provided by the Dark Eater. On average, it is at least 15 points higher!

"This trip is right."

Ji Xinghuo landed on his flying motorcycle. The seven-meter-long Earth-devouring Insect lay in front of him, and he felt a bit shocked.

The skin of the geophagous insects is brown and covered with a layer of rock skin. It smells like soil, which is not unpleasant. It is similar to the common earthy smell. This smell masks them and makes them more difficult to detect, but for Ji Xinghuo Useless.

He reached out and pressed it, and an information interface popped up in front of him.

[Monster: Black Ring Earth Devouring Insect]

[Level: Superior]

[Xenomorph: rock skin, trauma transfer, rapid recovery, mucus ejection, cave micro-touch, ground escape, gravity mutation]

Six different species, all of good quality.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the corpses of the other two Earth-eating Insects. They found that they were almost the same species, with just a few missing.

Then there were some difficulties.

The body of the Earth Devouring Insect is too huge, and it is very troublesome to collect alien species.

"It can't be wasted." Ji Xinghuo finally started collecting, killing prey but not using alien species. Try not to do this kind of thing that goes against common sense.

He wielded the electric potential blade to chop open the insect corpses, cut off the alien species hidden inside, and threw them into the saddlebag of the flying motorcycle.

Then take off and keep going.

Not far away, Ji Xinghuo discovered two more ground-eating insects.

He deliberately approached them and made noise, attracting them to come out from the ground to attack, killing them easily, harvesting their spiritual energy and collecting alien species.

The search efficiency of electromagnetic induction is too high. No matter how deep the ground-devouring insects are hidden, they cannot escape Ji Xinghuo's eyes. They will not let go of any one they find, so their progress is greatly delayed.

However, Ji Xinghuo never tired of it.

Compared with the elusive and hard-to-find Earth-eating Insects, he prefers to harvest spiritual energy, which is more practical.

It's best if you can find the Earth-eating Insect of magnitude, forget it if you can't find it.

With this thought in mind, Ji Xinghuo stopped and went, taking detours from time to time. In half a day, he only advanced less than 300 kilometers.

But it’s rewarding.

On the first day he entered the silent wasteland, he gained more than 8,000 points of spiritual energy!

“What a great place!”

"If there is nothing else, I can kill all the earth-eating insects in the silent wasteland..." At night, Ji Xinghuo looked at the starry sky that was completely different from the earth and couldn't help but sigh.
