MTL - Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 55 Loners

Chapter 55 The Lone Walker

Ji Xinghuo was sitting on the train, and the scenery outside was passing by quickly under the starry night.

Even though it was a starry night, there were still many passengers in the carriage, most of whom were preparing to go hunting like myself, but they all had teams and few were alone.

 The destination of the train is the City of Liberty.

Ji Xinghuo thought about where he should go for this hunting trip for a long time.

The area around Olympia City is naturally the safest. Most of the dangers have been eliminated by strangers, making it suitable for hunting alone for the first time.

 But while being safe, the gains are definitely the least.

 You can also go to the surrounding areas of other cities.

 For example, Feilong City.

Feilong City is also a city belonging to the Asia-Pacific Community, located more than 100 kilometers east of Olympia. The traces of the feathered serpent that Qi Zhaofeng mentioned are in the Razor Rift Valley south of Feilong City.

Ji Xinghuo thought about going to Razor Rift to try his luck, but after asking around, he found that the news had spread widely.

 The feathered serpent may give birth to a "flying" variant, which is too attractive.

 There must be many teams flocking here.

Ji Xinghuo checked the map information and found out that the Razor Rift Valley is only about 20 kilometers long. A hunting team can dig three feet into the entire rift valley and clean up all the monsters inside. One person will not gain much at all. , more than 99% of the time the trip is in vain.

 What he needs is spiritual energy, and the alien species comes second.

It is best to go to a place where there are many monsters, few hunting teams are fighting for it, and it is relatively safe.

Ji Xinghuo immediately thought of Juefeng Valley!

There are many stone sickle mandrills in Juefeng Valley, millions of them, but their exotic value is not high, so no hunting team will hunt them.

Although Juefenggu is very large, covering 50,000 to 60,000 square kilometers, it is not easy for ordinary people to find the Stone Scythe Mandrill Group.

But it’s not difficult for me.

Moreover, I spent ten days in Juefeng Valley with Sister Ren and the others last time, and I am quite familiar with the geography and climate of Juefeng Valley. I am more confident than going to a completely unfamiliar place.

As for the flood-level stone-scythe giant mandrill, just avoid it.

Juefeng Valley is a perfect place to obtain spiritual energy. There is no more suitable hunting location within the sphere of influence of humans on Earth.

 The only disadvantage is that it is a bit far away.

 Night is approaching.

 The train arrived in the City of Freedom. Ji Xinghuo found a hotel near the train station to stay in. He got up at dawn to eat and left the city.

 Many hunting parties also set out at this time.

 In this way, you can make full use of the day, and you can go far on the first day, improving your efficiency on the road.

Ji Xinghuo was walking on the road alone with his luggage on his back. He met several teams, and the strangers all looked at him appraisingly when they saw him.

 At first, most of the teams they encountered had no ill intentions, but after walking for a few hours and getting further and further away from the Free City, their eyes changed somewhat.

The City of Freedom is a city of the Western Alliance, and most of the aliens here are Western Alliance people.

 Because of geographical relations, there is no direct conflict between the Asia-Pacific Community and Western Alliance. However, historically, the relationship between the two parties has never been good, and they have been in opposing camps many times.

●Today’s earth is a situation of two superpowers and two powerful ones.

 The relationship between the four major powers is complicated, but they can be roughly divided into two camps.

On one side is the Eastern camp headed by the Asia-Pacific Community, followed by the New Roman Empire, and composed of dozens of countries. On the other side is the Western camp led by the American Federation and dependent on the Western Democratic Alliance. The New Roman Empire and the Western Alliance were adjacent to each other, and the two sides were hostile to each other. Border wars continued, and the hatred was as deep as the sea.

Most conflicts and wars on the planet, no matter which continent or country they occur on, will eventually evolve into a confrontation between two major camps.

  The struggle between two superpowers for hegemony is the main theme of the 23rd century!

 Many historians, politicians, and international relations scholars have reached a consensus in recent years, that is: the earth must be unified!

 And the time for global unification is not too far away.

 It will come as early as this century, and no later than three hundred years.

 But who will be the final winner has not yet been determined.

More than 95% of the people on earth believe that the winner will definitely be between the Asian Communist Party and the American League, and the chances of other countries are very slim.

As the Western Alliance has been an ally of the American Federation for many years, they naturally prefer the American Federation to win.

 Hence, Western Alliance is generally unfriendly and even hostile to people from the Asia-Pacific Community.

Disputes on Earth extend to the astral realm.

 In human cities, citizens of all countries appear to be in peace with each other and can maintain order. But outside the city, if you encounter teams from other countries, especially foreigners from hostile countries, you will basically not miss it as long as there is an opportunity.

 Most of the teams coming out of the Free City were Westerners.

They saw Ji Xinghuo, an oriental man, going out alone, with an eagle bow that was obviously valuable behind his back, and it was hard not to be tempted.

 “The human heart is really sinister!”

Ji Xinghuo felt malicious intent several times. If there weren't other teams on the road, someone would have taken action long ago.

 He deliberately kept the distance, but the team still approached.

"never mind."

Ji Xinghuo didn’t want to have a conflict right after leaving the city, lest it affect his hunting plan.

 He touched the stealth ring on his index finger with his thumb. The surrounding light was deflected, and the whole person was covered in a transparent outline, making it difficult to see from a distance of three meters.

 The rotating magnetic field was activated, and Ji Xinghuo ran quickly.

 “Silent” absorbed the vibration sound waves, allowing him to make no sound while running.

When the strangers from that team discovered that Ji Xinghuo had disappeared, they immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They quickly stayed on the spot in a defensive posture and tried their best to search for Ji Xinghuo's figure. However, after waiting for a long time, they were not attacked. Only then did they know that Ji Xinghuo had been there for a long time. left.

Ji Xinghuo ran a few kilometers and released his stealth state.

 The stealth ring will continue to consume star power, and 185 star power points can only last for one hour at most.

Moreover, carrying a heavy bag and running fast consumes both physical and star power, and you will be exhausted within half an hour.

 After that, Ji Xinghuo used magnetic field induction to detect other hunting teams in advance, and then activated his stealth fingers to surround them.

 As long as he does not consume star power, the powerful recovery ability of the secondary rotating magnetic field allows him to run without stopping.

  Throughout the day, Ji Xinghuo traveled more than 300 kilometers.

 He passed one hunting group after another and walked more than a hundred kilometers in the starry night.

 It was not until dark that Ji Xinghuo camped in the forest. He carefully selected this place. The camp was located between two boulders, and the top was covered with branches. If a monster came in from the front, he could escape from it at any time. Ji Xinghuo didn't light a fire, and the Wanxiang Star Pupil allowed him to see in the dark.

 Eat dry food and water and fill up my stomach as much as I want.

Ji Xinghuo was sitting alone in the tent, listening to the chirping of insects and birds outside. The forest was dark and deep, with occasional calls coming from far away.

The magnetic field sensor scanned the surrounding area for 800 meters. Before setting up the tent, I walked around to confirm that there was no danger.

 Even so, he was still a little scared.

 It’s not to the point of being scared. It’s just the first time I’m alone in the wilderness. It’s inevitable that I’ll have random thoughts.

 “No wonder everyone likes to form teams.”

 “There is no one keeping watch, and there is no sense of security.”

Ji Xinghuo muttered, suddenly missing Ren Mian.

　　During the last hunt, he and Ren Mian always took turns keeping watch at night. Every time I woke up in the tent, I could see her guarding there as long as I opened my eyes, which made me feel safe. Moreover, there is no protective layer of plants outside the tent. The simple traps I set up can only make a little noise at most, which is better than nothing.

"sleep!"

Ji Xinghuo got into his sleeping bag, closed his eyes, and his breathing quickly became calm.

But he did not fall asleep completely. He remained in a state of false drowsiness and would wake up immediately if there was the slightest movement outside the tent.

 The night passed.

Ji Xinghuo didn't sleep well and yawned a few times.

He woke up many times last night, and wild beasts or small animals approached the tent. Although there was no threat, they still woke him up.

This kind of intermittent sleep is naturally not of good quality. It used to take only five or six hours of sleep to completely restore mental and physical strength, but now it takes more than ten hours.

 It is inconvenient to light a fire at night, but it is possible during the day.

Ji Xinghuo set up a small pot to cook a bowl of instant noodles. While waiting for the noodles to be cooked, Ji Xinghuo packed up his tent and luggage.

 “啾啾…”

There was a sharp cry from the horizon.

Ji Xinghuo stopped and turned to look at the source of the sound. There were not many trees around the camp and the location was relatively high. He could clearly see several black shadows moving in the sky to the north. They were three to four kilometers away and flying at a height above the ground. About two hundred meters.

The Vientiane Star Pupil brings the black shadow closer in the field of vision, making it clearer.

 “The human-faced owl!”

Ji Xinghuo recognized this monster.

They are similar in appearance to owls, but are several times larger, with a wingspan of more than three meters, and a pair of huge black claws at the end of their wings, which look like human hands. In addition to their scimitar-like pointed beaks, their heads have huge eyes, eyebrow feathers and clear facial contours, which are very similar to human faces, hence their name.

The human-faced owl has very vicious habits and likes to hunt in groups, especially primates, including humans.

 They have very good eyesight.

 When Ji Xinghuo saw the human-faced owls, they also discovered humans on the ground.

 A scream.

 The six human-faced owls immediately accelerated and flew towards him, lowering their altitude. They had already regarded Ji Xinghuo as their prey.

  “Just in time for a snack.”

Ji Xinghuo immediately picked up the dragon falcon and eagle bow, grabbed a handful of titanium aluminum alloy arrows in his right hand, jumped up on the rock, and raised the bow to aim at the sky.

The Human-Faced Owl flies very fast and enters the shooting range in less than half a minute.

Ji Xinghuo did not shoot immediately.

 When the human-faced owl at the front was less than 200 meters away and took the lead in swooping down towards him, he fired the first arrow.

　　咻!

The Dragon Falcon's bow blades contracted and rebounded, and the bow string released huge kinetic energy, sending the arrows on the bow flying out and disappearing in an instant.

 Almost in the blink of an eye.

　　The diving owl let out a cry, its heart was penetrated, its wings lost power, and its body fell towards the ground under the action of inertia.

Ji Xinghuo fired rapidly and continuously. Every time the dragon falcon and eagle bow opened and closed, an arrow shot out instantly.

 He shot five arrows in total.

 But all six human-faced owls were killed, and the third arrow killed two eagles with one stone.

 Bang bang bang…

The bodies of the human-faced owl smashed the branches and fell into the woods one by one. The group of monsters was wiped out in an instant.

Ji Xinghuo rubbed the eagle bow in his hand and was very satisfied with the first performance of this new weapon.

 He jumped off the rock, took the cooked noodles away from the fire, and then walked towards the body of the human-faced owl. The human-faced owl fell not far away, only more than a hundred meters away. When Ji Xinghuo arrived, they were already dead. When Ji Xinghuo reached out and touched the body, an information interface popped up in front of him.

  【Monster: Human-Faced Owl】

  【Level: Strange】

  【Alien: Tear】

　　This group of human-faced owls are ordinary strange monsters. There are no elites, only a "tearing" alien species, which comes from the two claws on their wingtips.

 Tear is a basic ability with relatively average power.

 Human beings have no claws and their nails are not sharp enough. They can only use shorter weapons such as daggers to tear apart, which can cause larger wounds to the enemy.

However, few people can fuse and tear, so it is of little value.

Ji Xinghuo was too lazy to collect the alien species. He checked all six human-faced owls and found no other alien species.

He cut off a piece of human-faced leg meat, picked up his titanium-aluminum alloy arrows, and returned to the camp. He roasted the bird meat over the fire and ate it with noodles.

 “It tastes good and the meat is very tender.”

 “If Caiyi were here, the roast should be better.”

Ji Xinghuo glanced at the Vientiane Star Pupil interface.

 In addition to contributing bird meat, the greatest value of this group of human-faced owls is to give themselves 6 points of spiritual energy, which now totals 35 points.

 After packing his tent and luggage, Ji Xinghuo continued on the road, heading west.
