Chapter 3: The Eater of Heaven and Earth

"Thirty-two percent, that's a lot bigger than I thought."

The life radiation around Joshua's body rose and shrank, making him still on the earth like a red sun embedded in the ground, constantly emitting light and heat to the surroundings, and through this simple and crude sensing method, the warrior also roughly explored the essence of this part of the steel power that is systematically called the world of Grandia.

If it is said that in the Mycrove continent, the free energy that overflowed at the beginning of creation was scattered between heaven and earth, existing in the form of elements, then the creation energy in the Grandia world is even heavier, they condensed into many crystals before ancient times, and then were buried in the depths of the earth, Joshua's power scanned the surroundings, and found a lot of small crystalline fragments buried under the trees, most of them came from those strong people who died hundreds of years ago.

Of course, the energy in these crystals will gradually dissipate into the atmosphere over time, making Grantia a similar environment to Microf's, but in essence, they are still those that are more ' The use of these crystals by intelligent life will further accelerate the emanation of this step, so that the atmosphere is also full of elemental power, which is why the world of Grandia now looks similar to the world of Mycrove, this is precisely because many transcendent beings absorb the power of the spar to cultivate when they are alive, and the power of their bodies dissipates in heaven and earth after death.

After finding out the general situation, Joshua began to try to absorb these unique free energies in the atmosphere, and his lungs and intestines worked, incorporating these special elemental particles into his body, turning them into flesh and bones, and replenishing himself.

At this time, the warrior had just come from the Mycrof Continent, and the power in his body was still completely the system on the other side of time and space, which was incompatible with the environment of the Grantian world, so it would be suppressed, and he could only liberate 32% of the power, but now, just like this, between breathing and breathing, the warrior could clearly see that the system progress bar had begun to loosen, and after a burst of digital flashing, it rose to 33%.

- And so it was.

Seeing this, Joshua couldn't help but smile, everything was similar to what he thought. Although he has not fully analyzed the new power of this world now, just the absorption and assimilation of common sense can slightly liberate his own strength.

In that case, there's no need to worry too much.

Standing on the ground, the warrior spread his arms as if embracing the world, and then, opening his mouth, took a deep breath.

As soon as he took this breath, there was a thunderous sound, and Joshua seemed to suck all the air around him dry, endlessly swallowing the free energy around him, and even the naked eye could see the surrounding wind turning into translucent ripples, surging with the warrior as the center, and countless stars and dots of fluorescence were also gathered, and then all of them were sucked into his mouth.

Flesh-eating people, powerful and brave, grain-eating people, skillful and wise, this is the norm in the mortal realm, but for the transcendental, except for the flesh and blood of demonic beasts, there is no food that can bring them strength gain or change, most of them are absorbing the free energy in the atmosphere to supply the operation of the transcendent body.

This is the so-called qi and energy feeding, Joshua has already reached this realm, but now, he has a bit of a momentum beyond this realm.

The elemental energy of different worlds, no matter how similar it is, has a certain difference in nature, and rashly swallowing these energies is likely to cause indigestion, which is a taboo that most transcendents need to scruple about, but Joshua does not have this trend at all, on the contrary, the more he absorbs the power of this world, the more the warrior's body adapts, the greater the power it can exert, and the musculoskeletal muscles become stronger and stronger, evolving to a higher level.

He is feeding on this 'heaven and earth', on the essence of this 'world', to improve his cognition of all things, so that he can achieve the original power of steel.

This is the Heaven and Earth Eater, and it is also the path that Joshua has chosen for himself to advance to the Legend.

At the same time, Davian and his party were cautiously walking out of the Autumn Water Forest and looking at the warriors of the plains in the distance.

Now Joshua is devouring the free energy around him, and the aftermath even affects the forest several kilometers away, only to see that the green grass in the middle of summer will wither and turn yellow in an instant, and the vigorous old branches of the trees are also falling leaves, the red sun is completely opposite to before, it seems to radiate a dead light towards the surroundings, making everything into ruin and end.

"Ancestral Spirit Protection, this ......" A certain capable and sturdy knight calmed the restless war horse below him, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in a low voice, "Was this Heroic Spirit a certain demon king before his death?!" ”

He decided that the warrior was a demon king who had buried his bones here from time immemorial, and had been resurrected as a heroic spirit by the power of the cataclysm.

"No, not necessarily."

Davien first glared angrily, silencing the other riders who seemed to want to refute or discuss with great interest, and then the imposing female knight said softly and cautiously, "This ...... The power released from his body contained the breath of terrifying life, and those dead figures were like encountering the sun's rays, and they should not be dead shadows. ”

For a moment, they couldn't think of what to call him, and Davien could only use him instead, but everyone understood who he was talking about.

"It's not a Heroic Spirit, what is it?" One of the riders scratched his head, he glanced in the direction of the warrior from a distance, then closed his eyes in fear, and he whispered, "How could such a powerful living come to our poor country?" ”

For some reason, the rider did not dare to look directly at the fighters, even from a distance of several kilometers.

And his statement has also been agreed by many people, and many people also don't understand why such a strong man would come to the remote edge of this continent, whether he belongs to the dead or those who resist, he should be in the center of the continent or the core battlefield in the southwest.

"Let's leave as soon as possible."

Just after everyone had discussed a few words, the female knight, who had been thinking for a long time, spoke. Davian's face was heavy, she restrained the horses under her, looked around at the riders and the people in the carriage, and said sternly: "Although the surrounding dead have been emptied, they will not be completely wiped out, and they will be reborn collectively in a while, if we don't break through and return to the village as soon as possible, then we are still in extreme danger." ”

Indeed, in the depths of the Autumn Water Forest, the mist has not completely dissipated, although it has been severely damaged by the red light, it is rapidly regenerating, and the twisted black shadows are also nurturing in it, as if it will be revived in the next moment.

As for the terrifying presence in that distant land...... The female knight didn't want to contact the other party at all, although he did sweep away a large area of death, as easily as brushing away the dust on the table, and saved the besieging people, but it was precisely because the opposite side was so powerful that Davian couldn't afford to communicate at all.

If the other party has good intentions, so they eliminate those dead shadows, it is naturally a good thing among good things, but if the other side just does it casually, in fact, they don't notice their group at all, and there will be a great risk of rash contact, as long as the other side waves casually, the entire convoy may be destroyed.

Even, in Davien's opinion, this person who emits amazing light and heat like the red sun, and is constantly devouring the energy around him, is most likely not a good person, this is not a conclusion reached through rational judgment, but a dangerous foreknowledge suggested by instinct - in any case, the kind of momentum that makes people feel desperate and irresistible just by looking at it is definitely not something that a kind-hearted person can have, the other party must have killed countless lives with his own hands, and there is an existence possessed by infinite resentment.

All in all, the farther away the better, this strong man did save the life of each of them, and the descendants of the Astoleia family will not forget this, but even if they want to repay it, they will have to wait until they have delivered the goods in the carriage safely to the village, and after that, it is up to the strong man to kill or kill.

Everyone in the convoy was convinced, but just as Davien turned his horse's head and prepared to continue along the mountain path, towards their destination, an exclamation of surprise rang out.

"Sister Dadavian! Big thing, big thing is not good! ”

It was still the lean and sturdy man, this fierce man who had fought with the dead before, and had no fear, at this time his tone was panicked, and he even bit his tongue when he spoke, and he was not at all brave as before.

But no one laughed at him, including the female knight he called his eldest sister.

Because everyone looked behind them in horror.

And at this moment, the stumbling male voice echoed in the horse convoy

"That guy, he, he's coming!!"

In the distance, Joshua stopped inhaling.

This time, he swallowed almost all the free energy and grass and tree life force within a radius of several kilometers.

The huge and complicated energy, in Joshua's body, was screened and separated step by step by the incomparably pure life force, leaving only a part of the warrior missing, or temporarily unable to understand the analysis, and the rest of the ones were all assimilated by his life force, and the impurities that could not be assimilated were burned out and discharged from the body as light and heat.

This time, the full force of heaven and earth breathing directly pushed the degree of liberation of Joshua's power from 32% to 37%, an increase of a full 5%, and this is because the warrior did not officially start to study and analyze the essential power of this heaven and earth, but to homogenize his energy with this world as much as possible. By the time Joshua officially starts researching, there will undoubtedly be a qualitative leap forward in this progress bar.

But now is not the time to do this in a hurry, to study the essence of the world, you can do it anywhere, Joshua raised his head, his eyes shot out a majestic radiation of life, and he scanned the surrounding land.

In an instant, the red light swept through the entire Autumn Water Forest, and everything disappeared into the eyes of the warriors, including, of course, the caravan that was about to turn around and leave.

Nodding in satisfaction, he found his goal.

With one step, Joshua arrived miles away with the two magic machines suspended behind him, and the voice was left behind him, and the warrior was thus led out of a long vacuum corridor and came to the front of the convoy in a matter of seconds.

The fighting spirit around her body turned and pressed down on the surging gale that followed, Joshua looked around at the stunned female knight who led the leader, and the panicked riders behind her who seemed to be looking at some terrifying existence, and then asked in a calm tone: "Hello, may I ask ...... here?"

Female Knight: "***, ******?" ”

After everyone on the other side immediately dismounted and made a respectful salute to him, Joshua realized a huge problem.

He couldn't understand what was being said on the other side.

In layman's terms, it's a language barrier.

“…… This is a problem. The warrior looked at the scene in front of him, almost everyone was half-kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and couldn't help but rub his head with a headache: "I don't know how to use such a convenient spell as language......"

And the other side.

Davien simply gave up all resistance when he saw the terrifying humanoid being arriving in front of the group from kilometers away in a matter of seconds.

How to resist? The aftermath of walking on the opposite side can completely wipe out their group, and in this case, they still want to be hostile to each other, I am afraid that they dared to be so bold because they broke their brains when they were young.

And the female knight's mind was like electricity, she had already noticed that the other party had deliberately suppressed the aftermath of her rapid advance, so as not to let them be harmed, since she did not kill at the first time, and showed such obvious kindness, then this humanoid creature who did not look like a good person did not look like a good person...... Maybe he's really a good guy.

At least not evildoers.

Davien couldn't help but feel ashamed of her previous instinctive judgment of the other party's good and evil behavior, but she still didn't dare to look up at the face opposite, to be honest, the female knight felt that the muscles in her neck were sore, and she was actually frightened now that she couldn't move, so her brain could think about it.

The other riders present were similar, and everyone, including the horses, fell to their knees, which was not a matter of respect, but simply too frightened to stand up straight.

Then they heard the mighty being speak in a gentle tone.

Joshua: "***, ********." ”

Davian subconsciously replied, "I'm sorry, what are you talking about?" ”

In the next moment, she reacted - this strong man and they didn't understand the language!

Could it be that the other party is really some ancient hero, and what ancient language does he speak?

Everyone present also understood this, but unfortunately their group of people were all riders with knives and guns, if you want to ask them how to kill people and set fires, at least seven or eight different plans will be proposed at that moment, but if you are proficient in ancient linguistics, it is really too difficult for these guys who don't recognize the lingua franca of the Grandian continent.

In Davien's cautious gaze, the unknown powerhouse on the opposite side frowned, obviously also discovered this, and only then did the female knight see that behind the other party there were two huge weapons, a silver-white giant sword, and a black-gold axe, these two weapons flashed with flowing fluorescence, automatically suspended in mid-air, they exuded a terrifying bloody aura, as if tearing apart the bodies of countless lives, drinking their blood.

- This momentum is overwhelming, it is simply the same as the ancestral holy sword enshrined in the village.

Swallowing his saliva, Davian lowered his head again, although the other party showed some kindness, but no one could confirm whether he was a good person or not, and the female knight did not dare to say much at all.

But then, a gentle, but irresistible force lifted everyone's half-kneeling bodies.

Standing in front of the line, Joshua asked everyone to stand up, and he didn't know how to solve the language problem for a while, so he had to move directly to the next step.

"Since there are people, there will be places to live, and this convoy is rushing through the mountains and forests, and it must be in a hurry to return to the gathering place."

The warrior was quick-witted, and he deduced a lot of information from the actions of Davien and his party: "When they see me, everyone looks extremely respectful, which means that there are also extraordinary people like me in this world, and looking at this skillful appearance, it seems that there are many such beings, or they can be seen every day." ”

The language barrier is only temporary, with Joshua's current state of strength and brain development, it only takes a few days to learn a new language, and if someone teaches it, the speed will be even faster. The warrior believed that as long as he followed this group of people to the gathering place of the humans of this world, he would soon be able to know most of the information about this world.

The body slowly floated in mid-air, Joshua watched the riders below him sit back on their horses in disbelief, they seemed to be hesitating, whether to go back to their lair the same way, if they were targeted by such a strong man, even if their village had a guardian hole card and could fight against the warriors, it would cause a lot of casualties.

The fighter understands this, and he waits for the other side to make a decision

"Hesitating, what are you doing!"

It was Davian who made the decision first, and the female knight gritted her teeth and reprimanded: "The Astoleia family has no prospects, and you all know that it is only a matter of time before he finds our village with his strength, and judging by his previous actions, it doesn't look like he wants to kill the demon king, so go back like this, anyway-"

Before the words were finished, everyone nodded silently.

In any case, the village is not completely powerless to resist.

So, amid the shouts, the wagon began to hit the road again, and the warriors naturally followed it, heading for the darkness into the distance.

The wind howled.

On the other side of the continent, in the dark forest, a red-haired girl with dragon wings suddenly opened her eyes from her sleep.

She looked at herself with some surprise, and began to faintly emit a cyan glow of the robe, and endless thoughts flashed in her heart.

This was the first time since that pillar of light movement that this ancestral robe revealed its extraordinary, the cyan light was like a heart fluctuation, exuding endless divine power and life breath.

The girl had a hunch.

This time the change is by no means the same as before.

On the other end, Joshua, who was flying in mid-air, also thoughtfully raised his right hand and pressed it on his heart, the Azure Orb was agitated by an inexplicable throbbing, transmitting waves of pure order power and vitality, this divine and gentle aura made the members of the horse convoy under him raise their heads from time to time, and their eyes also changed from fear and vigilance at the beginning to no longer be so vigilant.

The warrior took out the mirror given by Pope Eagle from his bosom.

The light flickered.

The location is western.
