Chapter 27 A Qualitative Change in Combat Power
[Hello, Jiang Feng, are you free tonight?]
Looking at the message that popped up on his phone, he remembered that the two of them had exchanged contact information after he returned from Shangcheng.
He had a deep impression of the only girl in this special class.
Lin Lu, a martial artist at the second level of Body Tempering, may have been mentally corrupted by the mutant that day, but her martial bone is a genuine mid-grade Xuan bone.
As for her actual strength... Jiang Feng couldn't judge that, because she hadn't undergone a strength test before.
After thinking about it, he gave a reply.
【What's wrong, Lin?】
Lin Lu: [Nothing, just wanted to ask if you were free.]
Jiang Feng: [Sorry, I have plans for tonight.]
After replying, he turned off his phone.
He worked as a security guard all night yesterday and is now exhausted, planning to sleep until the afternoon.
After that, we'll go to the contaminated area to try our luck and see if any new mutants emerge.
In the evenings, I still need to look at houses and practice my martial arts...
"Buzz".
"Buzz".
The phone lit up again.
Lin Lu: [What a pity.jpg]
Lin Lu: [What about tomorrow?]
Jiang Feng was somewhat suspicious. Could it be that Lin Lu had fallen for him because of what happened at the slaughterhouse that day?
But right now, all he can think about is leveling up passively, and he doesn't want to be in a relationship at all.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I might not be free tomorrow either, I need to find a place to move."
Lin Lu replied instantly: [Moving?]
Jiang Feng: [Yes, this house is a bit old, and the environment isn't very suitable for cultivating martial arts techniques.]
A few seconds later, Lin Lu's message came again.
Lin Lu: [I understand.]
Lin Lu: [It needs to be a relatively quiet place, close to the school, and preferably with a place nearby to practice martial arts?]
Lin Lu: [What is Jiang Feng's budget?]
What does it mean?
Looking at the question on the other end, Jiang Feng thought to himself, "Lin, you don't happen to be working part-time as a real estate agent on the side, do you?"
If Sun Hao found out you were doing this kind of thing outside, someone with your level of martial arts talent would definitely be criticized, right?
Lin, you didn't want this either...
His hands moved on the screen.
Jiang Feng: [3000-5000]
There was another moment of silence on the other end.
Lin Lu: [Jiang Feng, would you like to come stay with me? I live alone in Zhenyue Mansion. It's very close to the school, there's a martial arts gym downstairs, and the living environment is absolutely quiet.]
"........."
To be honest, Jiang Feng had never even heard of this place.
But since the other party said that, he opened his phone's map app and started searching.
Five minutes later, he put his phone away.
To be honest, apart from the slightly higher rent, everything else about this place is exactly as Lin Lu described.
Jiang Feng wasn't one to dwell on these things, so he didn't hesitate and sent a message to Lin Lu.
"Then I'll go take a look tomorrow? If it's suitable, I'll move in."
Lin Lu: [Okay, contact me when you arrive.]
Jiang Feng: [Yes, thank you, Lin.]
Lin Lu: [It's okay, ojbk.jpg]
【See you tomorrow】
Lin Lu sent an emoji and then went offline.
After replying to the other party's message, Jiang Feng was also a little exhausted, so he quickly washed up and went to bed.
.........
I woke up at 15 p.m.
Jiang Feng remembered that Zhang Ruanruan had said that this time of day was when the most monsters were in the contaminated area, so he decided to try his luck.
This time when he went out, he didn't take the steel rod with him, but simply moved the bracelet on his left wrist that was glowing with a dark red light.
Lower city area, polluted area, central part.
Due to the influence of that king-level species, no abnormal variants could be seen on the periphery for a short period of time.
Even in the middle, there are only some fragile secondary or primary aberrations, which are insufficient to meet the requirements for stacking passives.
And then finally---
Inside a cold storage facility located in the central region.
With a creaking sound, Jiang Feng pushed open the door to the cold storage room.
The overwhelming stench of decay made him unable to open his eyes for a moment. In the sub-zero temperatures of minus twenty degrees Celsius, the blood and filth on the ground did not freeze but instead glowed with an eerie green light, winding into twisted patterns on the ground.
Three bovine aberrations, each nearly 3 meters tall, were entrenched deep inside the cold storage. Judging from their size, it was clear that they were not the size that a Class II aberration should have.
"Three of them at once..." Jiang Feng was not surprised but delighted.
He was about to test the power of the Darkin.
"Moo!"
The three-headed mutant simultaneously detected the intruder, its gaping maw unleashing a deafening roar.
They suddenly stood up, their thick hooves trembling slightly as they charged towards Jiang Feng.
On their bellies, dozens of pink, fleshy tendrils with suckers sway like venomous snakes, and half-melted flesh still hangs from the bony spurs on their backs. With each breath, dark green, aberrant spores burst forth.
Jiang Feng stood still, raised his left hand, and softly shouted, "Go!"
The dark red bracelet on his left hand suddenly turned into mist and then solidified, and the Darkborn Scythe landed steadily in his palm.
The next moment, the blood of the Darkin, imbued with an aura of decay, surged through his meridians. The familiar heartbeat resonated from the Darkin Scythe into Jiang Feng's hand. At this moment, the weapon once again became his pulse, his very flesh and blood.
Jiang Feng's eyes flashed with a dark red hue. He brandished his scythe and, in the blink of an eye, charged towards the three monsters!
"Clang!"
With a single swing of the scythe, a dark red arc of light pierced the darkness of the cold storage. The leading mutant didn't even have time to scream before its steel-like body, thick bones, and mutated flesh were completely annihilated by the destructive power of the scythe.
Taking advantage of the moment, the second monster's claws barely touched Jiang Feng's clothes, but he simply twisted his wrist, and the scythe drew a perfect arc, slicing the monster in half. Terrifying dark power surged wildly through the wound, instantly shattering his massive body into a rain of blood.
"Splash!"
Red rain fell from the sky, drenching Jiang Feng as if a god of death had descended.
The entire process happened in the blink of an eye; before the last mutant could even begin to think, Jiang Feng was already in front of it.
The raised Darkin Scythe, carrying a blood-red light that burned everything, slashed down and swiftly pinned it to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the Level 3 Aberration was completely reduced to a pool of foul-smelling black water.
[Kill 3 Level 3 Aberrations]
[Base Strength permanently increased by 3%!]
"It's not over yet."
Jiang Feng's lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the deepest shadow in the corner of the cold storage.
There, an aura far more terrifying than that of a Level 3 aberration was rapidly approaching him!
It was a horse-shaped mutant that was over four meters tall. Its body was covered with black scales, and it had three spiral horns on its head. The saliva dripping from its mouth fell on the ground and instantly corroded small pits.
This horse-shaped aberration was originally hiding here and appears to be the leader of the three aberrations.
It had intended to participate in the battle just now, but Jiang Feng's speed in killing monsters was just too fast, so fast that it didn't even have time to react!
Knowing it was no match for the monster, instinctive fear made it try to flee, only to discover that the human had already set its sights on it.
"roar!"
It roared in fear, and several tentacles covered in barbs swept across.
"Well done!"
The blood of the Darkborn rose up, and the blood of the warrior was like boiling magma, instantly permeating his limbs and bones.
Jiang Feng unleashed a powerful left punch, igniting all his blood and qi. The Flame Collapse Fist, controlled by the Darkblood blood, exploded with twin flames, and the crimson fire wave instantly incinerated all the attacking tentacles.
With just this one move, the mutant was already seriously injured. Jiang Feng immediately had a thought, and the dark red scythe, trailing blood light, slashed down from the air. The monster's huge body was annihilated inch by inch in this power, and in the end, not even a trace of flesh and blood was left.
With the enhancement of his Xuan Bone and the Darkborn Scythe, Jiang Feng's true combat strength has reached an extremely terrifying level!
