In the new safe zone one hundred and forty kilometers away, group leader Jia Weixin sent people to test the alien group's ghost den.

As a result, a strong man who surpassed the first limit led ten combat-type superpowers who had reached the first limit to Tan Ruo, but all of them returned seriously injured.

Fortunately, those alien evil spirits did not chase them out, and they seemed unable to leave that area.

As the sky brightened, the evil spirits disappeared, and the densely packed buildings where they originally thought the 'alien tribe' was turned into endless ruins.

But they still couldn't leave and were completely trapped here.

It's like everyone is trapped in a ghost wall. No matter which direction you go, you can't leave and will automatically circle back.

In order to escape the increasing temperature behind him, Jia Weixin gritted his teeth and let everyone cross the ruins ahead while the evil spirit would not appear during the day.

Since you can't get around it, go straight through it and try to survive.

…

An hour later, the sky was completely bright and the outside temperature was getting higher.

Increasingly high temperatures have caused the plants in the Shishan District to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye, causing crazy consumption of oxygen. The world seems to be completely distorted, and the field of vision is very poor.

However, Yang Yuan and the others ignored the external situation and were all seriously busy with the matters in their hands.

"I gained another hundred experience points, so fast!"

Yang Yuan smiled slightly and continued to assemble the cooler.

Because there is no one to help deliver similar parts this time, even if you are already familiar with the process, you can only assemble a hundred coolers in an hour and gain 100 experience points.

This is actually very fast. If you make your own crossbow parts, you can gain about ten experience points in an hour.

The next step is similar, you can earn a hundred experience points almost every hour.

Near noon, they drank some ancient lynx blood to satisfy their hunger, added a small amount of water, and then continued to gain experience.

In the afternoon, a mountain fire suddenly appeared in the distance, and the blazing mountain fire enveloped a mountain in the blink of an eye.

The place where the fire broke out is dozens of kilometers away from here.

But this scene still made Yang Yuan, who was concentrating on gaining experience, change his face slightly. Is the temperature enough to ignite hay?

Or was it a wildfire caused by some kind of creature?

But no matter what, it is no longer safe here!

"There's a fire over there, will it burn here?" Zhao Jiayan was a little worried.

"It shouldn't depend on the wind direction, but just in case, we should stay away, otherwise it will be troublesome if the wind direction changes." Yang Yuan said.

"Let's find an open area with no plants nearby." Zhao Jiayan suggested.

"Well. You guys pack it up, put these coolers into the box. Don't use the ones I reassembled. Throw them away. Don't mix them together. I'll use the Firepower Frisbee's radar to find out if there is such a place nearby.

.”

Yang Yuan said, took a look at his personal experience, walked out of the safe house, and walked further away while upgrading.

[lv.8:900/128 (upgradeable)]

…

[lv.9:772/256 (upgradeable)]

…

[lv.10:516/512 (upgradeable)]

After spending nearly 400 experience points, I was directly promoted to level ten.

Yang Yuan only felt that his physical fitness, strength, and even his nerve reactions had greatly increased.

After reaching level ten, he suddenly felt that he had encountered a certain level.

But this level means nothing to him.

Because the moment he consumes experience to level up again, the level will be broken.

"boom--"

Yang Yuan only felt the roar in his mind, and his energy and spirit underwent a qualitative change at this moment.

A few seconds later, when he came back to his senses, he found that his five senses had been greatly enhanced, his ears and eyes were truly clear, and his whole person seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation.

【lv.11:0/2】

"Are levels ten to eleven a level?"

He understood clearly in his heart, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "I should be considered a little superman now, right?"

Originally, he thought that his ability had no strengthening effect on his physique and strength.

It turns out that in the beginning, the experience required for each upgrade was too little, so the improvement brought by the upgrade was minimal and almost negligible.

But now, every time you upgrade, the experience you need to consume has greatly increased, so the improvement brought by the upgrade is also very obvious.

"Wait a minute, why did the experience required for upgrading change?"

Suddenly he discovered that after reaching level 11, the next upgrade would only require two points of experience.

A little more than when you upgrade from level one to level two.

There should have been some experience left, but the remaining experience simply disappeared.

"Has the way of gaining experience changed? Or... has it been completely refreshed?"

He frowned slightly, but he wasn't too worried. He would find out later if he tried it.

[Power Armor lv.5:2286/1600 (upgradeable)]

"Are you full of experience in power armor? Then upgrade."

With a thought, Yang Yuan upgraded the power armor.

The thought fell, and the power armor was shrouded in white light. The details seemed to have been optimized. The armor shell, which had heated up quickly because it was outside the radiation range of the cooler, quickly cooled down.

In addition, the original camouflage color of the shell seems to have a certain degree of optical stealth effect. It seems to match the color of the surrounding environment. You can't see it without looking carefully wherever you stand.

After about half a minute, the upgrade is completed.

[Power Armor lv.6:686/3200 (can be regarded as genuine power armor; the maximum radius of the radar is 800 meters; it cannot be upgraded)]

The level 6 powered armor has a joint power of at least 80 kilograms. Because the quality of the shell has been greatly improved, it should have been very heavy, but Yang Yuan could not feel the weight at all.

It's like just wearing a piece of clothing.

This feeling is very comfortable.

He tried to scan the surroundings with the radar that came with the power armor, and found that the scanned terrain map was the same as the radar terrain map of the fire flying disc.

It's understandable, after all, they are all produced in the same place.

Without wasting any more time, Yang Yuan remotely controlled the radar of the fire flying disc to scan the surrounding environment.

A huge radar terrain map appears in the virtual field of view.

At his first glance, he saw the battlefield thousands of meters away where large troops and elite stone monsters fought. The stone forest with a radius of several hundred meters had been leveled, and there were no plants left.

"It's a good place to stay there, and with the safe house that will be upgraded later, you don't have to worry even if the fire comes over."

Yang Yuan continued to use Firepower Frisbee's radar to find a more suitable place.

However, a more suitable place was not found. Instead, the culprit of the wildfire was found dozens of kilometers away.

On the radar topographic map, a three- to four-meter-tall alien beast was seen walking slowly. Wherever it passed, the ground cracked and the surrounding vegetation quickly burned.

The body of that strange beast was very shriveled, like a mummy.

"Is this the Drought Demon?"

Yang Yuan's expression changed: "Have all the drought demons come so close?"

But isn’t the Drought Demon in myths and legends humanoid?

Moreover, the drought demon that I heard about in my predecessor was also in human form. Why did a beast-shaped drought demon suddenly appear?

“Go check it out!”

Yang Yuan immediately controlled the fire flying disc to rise very high into the air and fly in that direction.

When he reached a similar position in the sky, he turned on the camera of the fire disc, zoomed in, and saw clearly the true face of the Drought Demon.

It was a strange beast that looked like a cat, but its flesh and blood were shriveled and it looked very strong.

There was no flame on its body, but wherever it passed, the ground quickly dried up and the surrounding vegetation burned, causing wildfires.

After the place where it stands is completely dry and cracked, it will continue to move to a place with vegetation and continue to cause wildfires. This goes back and forth, moving outward little by little instead of rushing forward in one breath.

Yang Yuan couldn't help but think of the description of the Drought Demon in myths and legends.

He forgot the specific description, but the general meaning is: the Drought Demon likes water, but the power in its body will evaporate the water, so it will always chase the water, causing the red land to be thousands of miles away.

Although the mythical story may not be true, the scene in front of me is indeed as described in the mythical story, with the drought demon chasing the water.
