Chapter 22 Battle
"...That's how it is. Those vines are all independent entities. You can't look at them with the same eyes you would look at the giant purple tree. That's all we've found this time. You'd better watch yourselves."
After saying all this to Gao Jian, Huang Hong ignored the former's attempts to persuade him to stay and left Longteng Plaza directly.
How Shen Guoqing handles this matter is none of Huang Hong's concern, nor can it be. His primary focus now is hunting monsters to improve his own strength, and then hunting even stronger monsters...
Before doing anything else, it's also essential to test out the new items and see how they perform.
Moreover, as Huang Hong's strongest trump card at present, the Iron Armor still has room for improvement, namely, finding more enhancement modules, but he has no clue about this yet.
Currently, only the [Elemental Core (Earth)] is known to be able to serve as an energy module, so it's highly likely that similar items can also achieve the same effect.
In other words, Huang Hong could go and find elemental monsters and try to seize their cores.
After determining the general direction, Huang Hong immediately took action.
Wearing the cat-ear headdress, Huang Hong nimbly moved through the steel jungle. The ruins and debris not only did not affect him, but were actually an aid.
His movements are silent, allowing him to easily circle behind monsters and launch surprise attacks, often resulting in a fatal blow.
Even among those gregarious monsters, he can use this to take the initiative and eliminate the strongest or the one that poses the greatest threat to him.
With the enhancement of his beast-like senses and feline grace, Anyue City became Huang Hong's hunting ground. Occasionally, when he sensed monsters far stronger than himself, he could take precautions to avoid them.
In this constant hunting, Huang Hong's source energy is also rapidly increasing.
Just as Huang Hong was engrossed in his game and preparing to hunt down a new target.
Suddenly, a strong sense of alarm rose in his mind.
The next moment, a whooshing sound came rapidly. Huang Hong, relying on his superhuman reflexes, entered a state similar to bullet time and made a sideways dodge movement. At the same time, his eyes twitched wildly. He saw an ice spike as thick as an arm coming towards him, and he also saw the monster that shot the ice spike.
It was a three-meter-tall, majestic-looking frost wolf standing atop a tall building.
"Boom!~"
The ice spike struck the ground two meters behind Huang Hong, unleashing a powerful burst of cold air that instantly spread outwards, causing large patches of frost to appear on the ground.
Huang Hong nimbly jumped and climbed, managing to avoid the impact of the cold air before it reached him. Even so, he was still slightly affected by the sudden drop in temperature, and his breath turned into white mist.
Without even glancing at his target, who was already frozen into an ice sculpture, Huang Hong focused all his attention on the Frost Giant Wolf. His expression was extremely solemn. The monster in front of him was the strongest he had ever encountered. If possible, he would not want to fight it, but judging from the current situation, it was clearly not an easy opponent.
Huang Hong felt a slight movement in his heart and had already connected with the steel armor he had placed nearby.
To activate the Cat's Grace, Huang Hong always loads the [Cat Ear Headwear] before hunting targets, which requires setting aside the Iron Armor beforehand.
Since the Iron Man armor has the ability to fight autonomously, and as long as the distance is not too far, it can switch targets by telekinesis, so there is no need to worry.
The Frost Giant Wolf was somewhat surprised by Huang Hong's reaction. It put on a human-like, mocking smile and jumped down from the rooftop, which was more than ten meters high.
Huang Hong's eyes flashed suddenly, and without hesitation, he pulled out his Desert Eagle, emptied the magazine, and activated the [Mysterious Parchment] to unleash a fireball.
The Frost Giant Wolf was furious that its prey, instead of fleeing, attacked it. However, it was in mid-air and had nowhere to gain leverage.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Firearms are killing weapons created by mankind, and the Desert Eagle is one of the best among them. Its power is self-evident, and the speed of its bullets exceeds the speed of sound.
The Frost Giant Wolf unleashed a burst of icy energy, attempting to condense a layer of ice crystal defense. Although this could be accomplished in an instant, it still required time.
In that short time, the first five bullets hit the Frost Giant Wolf, exploding one after another in its head and neck.
The nascent ice crystal defense collapsed under the relentless onslaught of the remaining four bullets.
Finally, under Huang Hong's control, a fireball the size of a fist was smeared onto the face of the Frost Giant Wolf.
"Bang!~"
The Frost Giant Wolf fell to the ground, its body engulfed in flames.
But the next moment, a surge of cold air erupted, directly scattering the flames from within and revealing the battered Frost Giant Wolf.
At this moment, the Frost Giant Wolf's head fur had been scorched black, and there were many explosion and tearing wounds. One of its eyes had been blown out by a bullet, leaving it empty.
The Frost Giant Wolf's gaze toward Huang Hong was no longer filled with anger, but with madness.
Its limbs suddenly exerted force as it pounced towards Huang Hong. With the burst of cold air, its claws left a series of ever-expanding frost marks when they landed, forming a path of ice. Its fur danced, forming a layer of frost armor. At the same time, more cold air was gathering towards its head, and ice spikes were rapidly forming.
When is a wild beast most dangerous?
The answer, of course, is when it's injured!
Faced with the frenzied Frost Giant Wolf, Huang Hong felt no fear, but rather a strange excitement. Every cell and nerve in his body was instinctively cheering for the upcoming battle.
Instead of retreating, Huang Hong charged towards the Frost Giant Wolf. At the same time, he also made an extremely strange move, gently tossing the Tang sword in his hand forward.
"Boom!~"
A nearby wall suddenly cracked open, and a suit of gold and red steel armor appeared. A mechanical arm made a forward-reaching motion, and when it got within three meters of Huang Hong, it began to fade and disappear little by little, starting from the fingertips.
At the same time, a beam of light flashed from Huang Hong's right fingertip, and the steel armor materialized rapidly, spreading throughout his entire body.
All of this seemed slow, but from the appearance of the Iron Man armor to Huang Hong completing the armament, it took less than half a second.
Just then, Huang Hong caught the Tang sword that he had thrown away earlier, suddenly accelerated to dodge the ice spikes that were being fired one after another, and unleashed a powerful punch with the force of ten thousand pounds.
The Frost Giant Wolf reacted quickly, raising one of its front paws to block Huang Hong's fist. Its paw seemed to be covered in ice that had been frozen for millennia, and gusts of cold air spread from its fist, trying to freeze Huang Hong.
The Frost Giant Wolf opened its massive jaws, and an even more terrifying chill was gathering. After the close-range chill attack subsided, it would then bite down, which was its most common fighting tactic.
But at that moment, a yellowish-brown light suddenly burst forth from the steel fist. Under the impact of this light, the Frost Giant Wolf trembled and its movements became sluggish.
Close combat is always extremely dangerous. Taking advantage of this critical moment, Huang Hong unleashed his power once again, plunging his Tang sword directly into a wound on the Frost Giant Wolf's neck that had been blasted open, and then twisting it to sever most of its neck.
