Chapter 23 Hot
According to the Tianta Continent's standards for judging the strong, Zhou Kong has now begun to log into the fourth level and fully possesses the strength of a warrior. However, his strength is calculated using this standard, and it is not as simple as a warrior.
The Pharaoh will award different medals to strong men at all levels. The warrior is a bright silver medal, the war king is a black gold medal, the war emperor is a black gold medal... The prerequisite for awarding medals is to take out a part of the body of the prey that climbed to the highest tower, such as
On the third floor of the Sky Tower, Little Locke got an eye from a one-eyed zombie, and most importantly, he had to use a star diamond to test his strength.
Star Diamond is a precious mineral unique to the Tianta Continent. It can only be found on the 49th floor of the Tianta. There are pitifully few of them, even fewer than the number of virgins over the age of 18 in the virtual world. Due to the conditions for obtaining it,
It must be a person with strength above the War Emperor, so its price is ridiculously expensive. A star diamond with a diameter of one centimeter is enough to feed a village of a thousand people for an entire year.
There is a star diamond with a diameter of 10 centimeters in the headquarters of the Pharaoh Society. It is said to be the largest in the entire continent. It is named the Star of the Tower of Heaven. It was discovered by a legendary war god hundreds of years ago. It belongs to everyone in the Tower of Heaven.
Common property, of course, will not be made into ornaments favored by the upper class by profiteers. Another function of it comes to the fore: testing strength.
The method is very simple. The tester punches this huge star diamond with all his strength with bare hands, and the strength and speed of the opponent will be displayed. This evaluation is the biggest basis for awarding medals.
Star diamonds can't help but shine brightly, and their greatest quality is their hardness.
For example, the hardest material discovered so far on the virtual earth is diamond, with a hardness reaching level 10 on the Mohs scale, and the hardness of star diamonds can reach level 100.
It is said that hundreds of years ago, when the war god named Overlord Yu discovered the Star of the Sky Tower, he mistakenly thought it was the Starlight Jade Rabbit, a unique prey on the 49th floor of the Sky Tower, and stabbed it with all his strength with his Overlord Gun. Later, he discovered
Only a white mark was left!
Once you reach the 50th floor of the Sky Tower, you will become the God of War. You can exert hundreds of millions of kilograms of power with just one hand. Such power did not even cause any damage to the Star of the Sky Tower, which shows that it is extremely tough.
It’s also worth mentioning that according to the unified testing standards of the Pharaoh Society, a warrior is considered to have a strength of about 1,000 kilograms. Zhou Kong’s current strength is about 4,000 kilograms. In this way, his strength is four times higher than that of people of the same level!
If a person like Zhou Kong is known by the Pharaoh Society, they will definitely vigorously publicize the birth of a peerless genius, and then appoint him as a seed player, focusing on training so that he can go to the 49th floor of the Sky Tower to find the Star Diamond, take it back and make it into high-end jewelry and sell it for a lot of money
.
If someone asks Zhou Kong if he is a genius.
He definitely shook his head and replied that I was not.
He is currently in the space on the fourth floor, carefully observing the surrounding scenery. Only a devil is willing to delve into the question of whether he is a genius.
The fourth floor is a desert world. The huge and continuous sea of sand glows the color of golden fried rice under the scorching sun. The sun is hot, the temperature is extremely high, and the scenery repeats thousands of miles. There are only small breast-shaped sand dunes below, and the only thing above is a big sun.
.
Hey, the big sun in the sky,
It shines wherever it shines,
It makes my heart light up.
“It’s too hot in here!”
Zhou Kong originally wanted to burst out and express his attitude towards this place, "Fuck, fuck, fuck, test, fuck," but he couldn't express the depth of the scolding he wanted to do. In desperation, he just sighed twice.
"Forget it, I'm not wearing any clothes. It's better to be hot than cold."
Zhou Kong was looking for excuses for himself. He wandered around the fourth floor for most of the day, undoubtedly looking for traces of prey. After crossing countless sand dunes, his hope turned into disappointment. When he raised his confidence again, he was still disappointed... In such a repeated process, Zhou Kong
Sora discovered a very serious reality, that is, he was thirsty.
In fact, hunger and thirst and many things are imaginable. For example, when going to the toilet, hunger and defecation can be tolerated for a while, but thirst and urination cannot be solved by endurance.
Zhou Kong would rather be hungry than thirsty.
There is no other choice at all. In this scorching hot weather, Thirst is the only follower who follows him. He is always with him and cannot be shaken off.
"well!"
Zhou Kong sighed. In fact, he could still endure his hunger and thirst. The key was that he was still naked.
This is really an embarrassing fact.
Sunbathing is good. Cover your body with sunscreen, lie down in a comfortable chair, have a drink next to you, and a book at hand. While enjoying the sun, you can tan your skin into a sexy wheat color. It is so refreshing that it reaches your throat.
matter.
This kind of sunbathing in Zhoukong is not comfortable at all. The sun is extremely hot and there is nothing to cover it except the low sand dunes. If you hide in the shade of the sand dunes, the sun will be gone and the extremely hot sand will be exposed to it after being exposed to the sun for a long time.
Roasted.
Zhou Kong's condition couldn't be worse now. The entire surface of his skin has completely peeled off. If he stays in the sun any longer, he will definitely become dehydrated, and then he'll be done with it.
"Hahaha!"
Zhou Kong smiled bitterly. Others died in the mouths of prey. It would be funny if he was sunburned to death.
The sun is getting hotter and hotter, and the entire desert is filled with hot air. The hot air converges into a heat wave and will dry out the alien creatures that have invaded this land!
Zhou Kong really couldn't bear it. In this extremely hot temperature, the sweat on the human body will evaporate before it forms, leaving white salt stains on the body surface. A large amount of water in the body will evaporate, and the perspiration system will be easily damaged.
Zhou Kong swallowed hard, feeling like his mouth was full of flour, and his throat was clogged and uncomfortable after swallowing.
At this critical moment, drink water and remember the source, and be grateful for the great military life.
Fortunately, what he had learned in the army reminded him. Zhou Kong lay on the ground and used a kitchen knife to remove the sand that turned into charcoal. The temperature below became cooler. Feeling happy, he continued to dig deeper with the kitchen knife.
He dug very slowly. He was dehydrated by the high temperature of the sun and lost strength. He didn't have much energy left in his body to do this kind of work. Fortunately, because the sand dunes were blown by the wind all the year round, the sand was quite soft, so he gradually dug a hole one meter deep.
hole.
Zhou Kong jumped down and squatted down with his body half curled up.
Sure enough, the intense sunlight did not reach my body, and I immediately felt much better.
Zhoukong was about to enjoy this hard-won comfort for a while, when "Boom!" there was a thunder, strong winds rose, arrogant dark clouds blocked the light of the sun, and the entire desert immediately darkened.
After a while, heavy rain fell, and the entire desert turned from golden fried rice to a muddy ocean, and the entire space changed from dark tones to mud.
“So cold!”
The rain hit his body, and there was a coldness that penetrated into the bones of his body. It was so cold that the sky around him shivered. While he drank the rainwater in large gulps, he sighed that he had really experienced a real world of ice and fire.
The rain came and stopped quickly. After a while, the rain dropped sparsely, and the dark clouds strangely did not subside, but became denser.
The rain was no longer raging, the sky was no longer thirsty, and he felt alive again. He came out of the cave and strolled up a higher sand dune to see if the prey on the fourth floor had appeared.
"what is that?"
Seeing a strange thing not far away, he cautiously walked over and discovered that it was a human corpse. The corpse was still very fresh and had not dehydrated into a mummy. Judging from the degree of decomposition, it was obvious that the person had not been dead for long.
"How did this man die?"
Zhou Kong observed, brushing away the mud on the surface of the corpse, and he was shocked to see the hideous wounds on it.
This corpse was covered with holes the size of fingers, almost turning into a human-shaped sieve. The information vaguely revealed from the holes showed that his stomach was empty, and it was obvious that many animals as thin as fingers got in and devoured all the internal organs.
Already.
"What exactly are they? Now that they've come, let's take care of them. Anyway, we're waiting for them to appear. We'll see them sooner or later."
Zhou Kong searched the body and found a bright silver medal on the chest. He picked it up and looked at it. There was a name behind the medal: Yuan Datou!
Zhou Kong looked at the head of the corpse. It was full of holes and the brain had been sucked dry. The diameter was indeed quite large, and it lived up to its name!
"It was fate that we met. I can't let you die here. I will find a place to bury you later. Since you are dead anyway, there is no need for your clothes. Give them to me."
Zhou Kong didn't care whether Yuan Datou was willing or not. He took off his clothes and put them on himself. The clothes were also full of holes. This was much better than being naked.
After putting it on, he put the bright silver medal in his arms that he originally wanted to throw away. If there was a chance, he might be able to bring the news to Yuan Datou's family.
It's better to be sad and accept the change than to be in trouble and not know the news.
Zhou Kong thought like this, picked up Yuan Datou's body and walked towards the hole he had just dug. He walked closer and put Yuan Datou in.
Chapter completed!
