180: Golden-armored Centipede King! Recipe for Grilled Meat Skewers!

[Exploration Hint: Warning! In the mountains in this direction, you can explore the special secret realm, the Palace of the Gods!]

[Exploration Hint: Warning! In the mountains in this direction, you can explore resources like Stone and metal.]

[Exploration Hint: Warning! Today is the first day of the Blazing Flame Disaster. Many Mist Monsters are migrating. Please try not to go out unless absolutely necessary!]

... [Exploration Hint: A castle-style Shelter has spawned 10 kilometers away in the current direction!]

... "Hmm?"

Su Lie's eyelid twitched. He turned the mist firearm amplification pedestal to face the left side: "Let me take a look!"

He adjusted the scope to the 10-kilometer range.

There was a cluster of tall buildings.

The buildings, one after another, blocked Su Lie's view.

He activated the pedestal's wall-penetrating effect.

Through this effect, he discovered life forms moving on the sixth floor behind the skyscrapers.

And it wasn't just one person.

"They certainly look like humans! Did someone find companions and establish an alliance so quickly? It might also be some kind of enslavement pact, or another type of agreement!"

Su Lie made a few guesses.

He got up and left the pedestal, instructing the Little Skeleton waiting nearby: "Your mission is to observe those two life forms in that direction and memorize their movement patterns! If they approach the Shelter within 5 kilometers, report to me immediately!"

Clatter!

The Little Skeleton gave a solemn salute, quickly sat into the pedestal, and carried out Su Lie's instructions.

Whoosh!

Just then, Su Lie looked up and saw a golden centipede, about a hundred meters long, breaking out of the ground in an area seven or eight kilometers outside the main gate, swimming toward the sky.

Su Lie used the Monster Prompt Skill to look at the creature.

He saw.

[Golden Armored Centipede King, Level 50, Life: 35 million; Spirit: 100 million;]

"Its Spirit is a full 100 million! I didn't sense this guy before, nor did I smell its scent!"

Su Lie murmured.

Just then.

Crackle!

A massive golden lightning bolt shocked the surroundings.

The thunder instantly struck the Golden Armored Centipede King's carapace.

It did not dissipate; instead, like a giant thunder serpent, it rapidly coiled around the Golden Armored Centipede King.

The lightning materialized a huge tiger's mouth, biting down on the Golden Armored Centipede King's golden carapace.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out.

A shower of golden blood rained down.

The Golden Armored Centipede King let out a painful roar, and endless golden light actually burst forth from its body.

The light was like a rain of pear blossom needles, instantly tearing apart the lightning tiger-head serpent.

The shattered electric light was absorbed by the Golden Armored Centipede King, instantly healing the injuries on its body.

When the blood rain shed by the Centipede King fell onto the buildings.

It instantly corroded the dozens-of-meters-high structures away completely.

When it fell onto the ground, it corroded the earth, leaving one large pit after another.

The blood rain that landed on the vines was absorbed by the vines.

The vines instantly swelled into giant vines, and they grew a large number of branches.

Rumble!

The ruins in this area experienced widespread collapse.

All of this happened within a mere 3 seconds.

Su Lie watched, dumbfounded.

Moo!

At that moment, a dizzying bovine sound came from behind him.

When Su Lie turned his head to look.

He saw a rhinoceros beetle nearly a hundred meters long breaking through the obstruction of the ground and the buildings, flapping its wings and flying into the distance.

As it flew, it scattered a patch of mist.

The mist, refracted by the sunlight, emitted a seven-colored glow.

Seeing this.

Su Lie shook his head: "It seems the Exploration Hint was indeed correct. It's only early morning, and several behemoths are already fleeing. I wonder how many behemoths will travel before noon today!"

"For safety!"

"I'll just stay in the Shelter for the day!"

"I still have a lot of things to take care of anyway!"

... Saying this.

Su Lie turned and walked down from the city wall.

When he returned to the Shelter.

Su Liya had already prepared breakfast.

This time, she had procured cucumber and pumpkin boiled in clear water.

This pumpkin was not an ordinary pumpkin, but a pumpkin ghost helm, a type of fairy plant.

After cooking it with Exorcism Holy Water, one can randomly obtain a god-tier quality ghost Skill.

At the same time.

Su Liya also served 5 Blood-Nourishing Red Dates, 5 Soul Insect Pill, 1 milliliter of Golden Treasure Blood, and flatbread made from flour rewarded by the mist rule and Exorcism Holy Water.

Although Su Lie had the Chestnut Bun as a base, which could supplement his nutritional needs for 3 days, it could not satisfy the desire for satiety.

Soon.

Su Lie gained a 500 Life attribute boost from the Blood-Nourishing Red Dates, and a 1,500 Spirit attribute boost from the Soul Insect Pill and Golden Treasure Blood.

This caused his Life attribute to jump to 11,000 points, and his Spirit attribute to increase to 124,429 points.

Coupled with the speed boost of 114,205 points obtained from the monsters he hunted yesterday.

This allowed his Speed attribute to instantly reach 240,423 points.

Moreover, the speed boost of his Mist Pistol reached 614,205 meters per second.

After Su Lie quickly checked his personal panel.

He then ate the flatbread.

The flatbread was steamed in a pot, then roasted once, and it contained some chopped red chili pepper inside.

It had a sweet wheaty aroma and the spiciness of the red chili pepper.

Coupled with a slight saltiness.

This freshly baked flatbread was exceptionally sweet and delicious.

Su Lie wolfed it down: "It's really delicious!"

Immediately after.

A prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Please select a Talent from your Talent list to improve its value!]

Su Lie chose the newly awakened God-Grade Olfaction.

In that instant.

All values of his God-Grade Olfaction Talent increased by 100 times.

[Buzz!]

[Your God-Grade Olfaction Talent has been successfully upgraded!]

[God-Grade Olfaction: red God-tier Talent: You possess God-Grade Olfaction and can perceive differences in tiny odor molecules up to 10,000 kilometers away.

Olfactory sensitivity increased 10,000 times, olfactory information processing speed increased 10,000 times, and odor differentiation categories increased 1 million times.]

At this moment.

The scents Su Lie smelled became increasingly numerous, and his analysis speed grew faster and faster.

Buzz!

Suddenly, his head gave a buzzing sound.

Blood dripped steadily from his nostrils.

"Master!"

Su Liya was startled and quickly took a cloth to help wipe him.

Su Lie felt a dizzy sensation. He quickly summoned his panel and added a point to his Spirit attribute.

Only then did he slowly recover.

"Damn! The scents within the 10,000-kilometer range are too many and too massive; I can't process them at all!"

Su Lie couldn't help but curse.

He had just been attempting a scent search across the maximum range.

After only one-hundredth of a second, he couldn't handle it anymore.

The types of odors within the 10,000-kilometer range far exceeded trillions, and the scents were complex and difficult to distinguish, even carrying certain special offensive forces.

This caused Su Lie to instantly deplete his Spirit and fall into a brief state of dizziness.

"This is the result of my Talent being too strong, and my body attributes being unable to keep up!"

Su Lie recovered quickly. Under Su Liya's service, he drank several mouthfuls of cool Exorcism Holy Water consecutively.

After he sat down, Su Liya served him some cucumber.

The cucumber was sweet, crisp, and juicy, tasting very refreshing when eaten.

Its faint scent broke through the dry heaving feeling Su Lie had developed due to the exhaustion of his Spirit.

Once he felt comfortable physically and mentally.

Su Lie finally shook his head and said: "It seems I can't rashly search the entire range for all scents anymore! However, the improved God-Grade Olfaction is an excellent Talent for tracking enemies!"

"Since this flatbread has been used today, the effect cannot be stacked, so I can only use it again tomorrow!"

Saying this.

Su Lie then asked Su Liya to serve him a small wooden bowl of seafood to eat.

After eating and drinking his fill.

Su Lie then took out the ordinary quality Barbecue Recipe he had traded for from Berber.

[Barbecue Recipe: Ordinary Quality;]

[Roasting Method: Skewer meat chunks onto wooden or iron skewers, place them over charcoal fire to roast, brush with cooking oil, and sprinkle with salt and chili pepper powder during roasting.]

[Upon successful creation, the barbecue gains a temporary boost, Adding Fuel to the Fire: Fire attribute Skills' attack power is increased 10 times for 1 hour.]

[Note: Only finished barbecue products created by a life form who has learned this recipe can gain the temporary boost effect of Adding Fuel to the Fire.]
