Chapter 102: Wait! Why has it gotten so much bigger?!
The auction successfully concluded at nine o’clock that evening.
As the final auction item of this auction, the Silver Steel Grass, it fetched an unprecedented price of 800 million US dollars, which immediately caused a sensation worldwide.
Countless people were shocked by the value of the Silver Steel Grass, and even more shocked by the bidders’ wealth.
After all, this was a real auction, not hype, nor money laundering; it was about actually taking out the money and putting it into someone’s account.
That was 800 million US dollars!
It could buy nearly thirty Harmony bullet trains, or eight C919 domestic large aircraft.
Assuming a person works for forty years from the age of twenty to sixty, with an average monthly salary of five thousand.
800 million US dollars could buy out the working time of more than two thousand three hundred people for a lifetime.
Now it was just used to buy a Spiritual Grass.
Such a huge impact almost made many netizens doubt life.
Even before today, if someone said that a Silver Steel Grass could sell for 800 million US dollars, they would probably be laughed to death.
But now, the real case was right in front of everyone, and in an instant, many people’s worldviews were completely overturned.
Thinking again of Qi Xuan, who was far away on the Floating Continent, he had eaten at least twenty or thirty Silver Steel Grasses.
While feeling envious, countless netizens felt that this person was really a disgrace.
You got a big prize and landed on the Floating Continent, and that’s fine, but how can you win the big prize every day?
All the good things were eaten by you, is the prize pool yours?
While everyone was envious, jealous, and hateful, the new cryptocurrency rich man who had previously bought the Silver Steel Grass, nicknamed Sun Bro, began to live stream himself taking the Silver Steel Grass.
For a time, many netizens heard the news and flocked to his Live Stream Room.
In the Live Stream Room, Sun Bro was wearing a tight outfit and cloth shoes, dressed like a martial arts master.
In front of him, there were wooden strips of different thicknesses, wooden blocks of different thicknesses, various styles of bricks, and even iron sheets, steel plates, and a series of testing items.
Then he raised his right hand and chopped hard at a wooden strip in front of him.
The wooden strip broke on the spot.
But he was rubbing his hand with a painful expression, sighing.
Seeing this, the netizens couldn’t help but laugh on the spot:
“Fake! Too fake!”
“I could at least chop to the bricks.”
“This physique eats Silver Steel Grass, be careful not to be blown up on the spot.”
“I estimate that after he eats it, he can only split the wooden block at most. Taking medicine also depends on Physique.”
“That’s right, different people have different absorption rates of drugs. Qi God’s performance is too outrageous and cannot be used as a reference.
But referring to Qi God, taking a little can split a Blue Brick with his hands. Let’s relax the conditions, and it’s considered a success to split a brick after taking a whole plant.”
“Difficult, difficult, difficult. If Ali the boxer ate it and achieved this effect, it would be almost the same. Sun Bro is too weak to be supplemented.”
“But Ali can’t afford that much money at all.”
“Why don’t we let Sun Bro fight Ali after he eats it?”
“Interesting, I bought this ticket!”
……
While the netizens were discussing heatedly, Sun Bro didn’t delay either, and immediately took out the silver-white sword-shaped little grass.
Perhaps he was also afraid that the Medicinal Effect would be too exaggerated, so he didn’t dare to take the whole plant, and immediately used a knife to cut the little grass.
As a result, he cut for a long time, and he was sweating profusely before he cut off a little bit. This scene made countless netizens feel speechless.
After laboriously cutting off about one-tenth of the portion, he carefully put the grass powder into his mouth.
Before he could chew it twice, his face immediately became distorted, looking like he had eaten bitter gourd but couldn’t spit it out.
“Hahaha, didn’t expect it? This grass is bitter!”
“Looking at him, it’s even more uncomfortable than eating raw Chinese goldthread.”
“It made me laugh to death. It seems that there are also benefits to not eating Silver Steel Grass.”
“But come to think of it, Qi God didn’t seem to have any reaction when he ate the Silver Steel Grass back then?”
“You’re also embarrassed to compare him to that beast. I suspect that even if he ate canned herring, he wouldn’t even frown.”
……
After swallowing the grass powder, Sun Bro immediately began to undergo amazing changes. Steam began to rise from his head, his skin turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a large, red-hot shrimp. There was also a faint cracking sound on his body. Under the gaze of all the stunned netizens, he actually grew two or three centimeters out of thin air.
Feeling the explosive power in his body, Sun Bro immediately began to vent.
With one palm, a one-centimeter-thick wooden strip broke on the spot.
Two centimeters thick.
Three centimeters thick.
……
Until the eight-centimeter-thick wooden block, all of them were broken with one palm, without playing any hindering role.
He simply bypassed the remaining wooden blocks and other test objects in the middle, and went directly to the extremely solid Blue Brick.
With a palm cut down, his eyes immediately widened, and he held his hand and inhaled.
But the netizens were shocked to find that the Blue Brick, which was far more solid than ordinary bricks, had been cut with a crack by him.
Seeing this scene, everyone was going crazy.
They never expected that what Qi Xuan said was true.
As long as you take a little bit, really just take a little bit, you can immediately make an ordinary person’s Physique comparable to a well-trained martial artist!
This simply exceeded everyone’s imagination.
Countless netizens couldn’t help but have an idea at this moment, if I could eat it too, would I also become a rare master in the outside world?
If I keep eating it, can I directly become Number One Under Heaven?
Regarding this point, many netizens thought too much.
Because the absorption of Silver Steel Grass has a limit.
This was not originally prepared for ordinary people. For ordinary people, one plant is already the limit, and most of the Medicinal Effect inside will be wasted.
Only by becoming a Cultivator and thoroughly Refining the Silver Steel Grass through Spiritual Energy can one absorb the Medicinal Effect inside to the greatest extent.
But just the degree of performance that Sun Bro is showing now is already enough to make people envious.
While Sun Bro was live streaming himself taking the Silver Steel Grass, the Old Chief who had previously bought the Silver-Winged Wasp Honey, after getting the item, also couldn’t wait to start taking it.
He was so anxious that he couldn’t even wait to open the small Sealed bag and directly threw it into his mouth to chew.
After chewing the honey and the Sealed bag and swallowing them whole, soon, amazing changes began to appear on the Old Chief’s body.
The age spots on his face decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, his cloudy eyes gradually became clear, his sagging skin gradually regained its elasticity, and finally, even his sparse head began to grow hair again.
Seeing this scene, countless onlookers on the scene couldn’t help but exclaim.
Before this, they were still a little skeptical about the Silver-Winged Wasp Honey, because although Qi Xuan praised it, he himself didn’t seem to have any obvious changes after eating it, which was also one of the doubts that hindered many bidders from continuing to bid.
But now, watching the Old Chief undergo such amazing and huge changes, from the original appearance of almost dying to regaining vitality, looking like he had become more than ten years younger, this scene made countless bidders regret it, and they couldn’t wait to travel back in time and slap themselves twice.
The more astute ones immediately ran to find Big Mao’s representative, preparing to use all means to get a portion.
In the chaotic situation, the top Rich man Barack, with a face full of smiles, trotted back to his room.
After making sure that no one was around, and only his confidant bodyguards were guarding, he sat on the sofa and took out a small bag of Silver-Winged Wasp Honey from his pocket.
This small bag was obtained through other means of transaction with Big Mao before today’s auction.
He originally thought that the price he paid was a bit high, and even made him a little bit regretful.
But after watching the Old Chief’s taking process, he no longer felt that the price was worth anything.
“Now it’s time for me to try the effect of this Spiritual Item!”
Barack eagerly opened the packaging bag.
Getting close, there was still a faint smell, which made his smiling face stiffen slightly.
Big Mao also explained about the smell, because their team members were using the juice of the Stinky Feather Mushroom to collect honey, so the honey was more or less tainted with a bit of the smell.
As for the Old Chief, he didn’t have any reaction when he took the honey, which was probably because he was too old, and his sense of smell and taste had already degenerated.
Now, for him, a healthy sense of smell and taste in his prime had become the biggest obstacle.
No way, eat it!
No matter how smelly it is, as long as it works.
Barack directly swallowed a whole bag of honey, then drank a large bottle of water, ate several large pieces of bread, and forcibly suppressed the smell that was surging out of his throat.
After finally getting used to it, he immediately noticed a warm feeling coming from his stomach, and then he began to feel a certain very novel change all over his body.
The scars on his arms became lighter, the fatigue after staying up all night faded, he became more powerful in his body, and he no longer had the feeling of weakness that often appeared in the past. The freckles and even the dark circles under his eyes disappeared a lot, and even the top of his head, which was already close to the Mediterranean, began to grow hair again.
“I grew hair.”
“I grew hair again!”
Seeing the brand new appearance in the mirror, Barack was instantly ecstatic.
Even though he had assets of several thousand billion US dollars, he still couldn’t avoid becoming a Mediterranean.
And now, just a little bit of honey solved this embarrassing problem for him.
Not to mention that this was just the most insignificant effect.
The strength and energy gains brought by the honey, even if used in future work, could bring him huge assistance.
Not to mention that this thing could also extend life to a certain extent.
Although he couldn’t feel this, his body was indeed much healthier.
“Good stuff.”
“It is indeed good stuff.”
“And there are even more of these good things on the island!”
“How can this not be tempting? How can this not make people go crazy?!”
Barack clenched his fists, and amazing ambition rose in his eyes.
He turned his head and asked his confidant:
“How is the contact with the Small country going?”
“We contacted representatives from a total of forty countries. Because of competition from others, we have only reached exploration cooperation with twelve countries.”
The confidant hesitated a little when he said this:
“Boss, because the island is too dangerous, a Joint Exploration Team may be established later, and they will no longer explore alone like before. Even if we contact those Small countries and buy out their exploration rights, it is very likely that we won’t be able to use them.”
“It doesn’t matter, there are ways to play with joint exploration.”
Barack said indifferently:
“The Joint Exploration Team is composed of people from various countries, and it must be extremely large. It is impossible to concentrate on exploring in one direction, and it will inevitably be scattered in many places, breaking them one by one. The powerful Military force that humans have stored also fully supports this.
Not to mention the huge impact caused by this auction, which will only further promote the countries to speed up the exploration, so that there will be a clever method.”
“Stuff our people into those twelve countries, and let them represent the countries to participate in the Joint Exploration Team. Then I will operate a little bit, and concentrate these people, and fix the exploration of a certain location or position, that is a completely controlled Exploration team.
And the most important thing is that, as a member of the Joint Exploration Team, if we encounter unavoidable dangers on the island, I can also apply to the Joint Headquarters for various Military force support, including Fighter jet and Missile, etc. As for the cost of the support, that is not a problem at all. In this way, it is easy to break through the island.
This time, I want to personally go in and give instructions.”
Hearing this, the confidant worried:
“The island is too dangerous. Why don’t you stay outside? Anyway, as the mist gradually dissipates, communication will be restored immediately, and it will no longer be as difficult to communicate information as before. Remote command is also no problem.”
“No! You don’t understand the feeling of excitement that makes people tremble when they discover new things! I have been burdened by work for too long, and I haven’t felt this feeling for a long time. Now that I finally have this opportunity, why should I give it up?
Standing at the top of wealth, there are only a few things in this world that can attract me. You can’t deprive me of the right to enjoy it, even if it is between life and death.”
“Moreover, it’s not just me going in this time. The experts we hired from all walks of life have gathered the Elites of many industries, which is much more reliable than a single Special forces.”
Speaking of this, Barack seemed to remember something and quickly asked:
“By the way, where are they now?”
The confidant immediately replied:
“Most of them have successfully arrived, and there are very few who are still at sea because of the long distance. They should be able to arrive tomorrow at the latest.”
Barack nodded:
“According to my estimate, the establishment of the Joint Exploration Team will not be delayed for too long. Let them speed up and prepare to go to the island. This time, it will not be like before, just a small fight. Don’t drag me down then.”
The confidant nodded and immediately went down to make arrangements.
……
Just as Barack had guessed, because of the huge impact caused by the auction, countless people had a clear understanding of the value of the island. For a time, the remarks of entering the island and occupying the island were rampant, which also made the countries speed up communication, dispatch Warship and Fighter jet and other heavy equipment to the vicinity, to prepare for the next island exploration.
At the same time, because the mist on the island was about to dissipate, Satellite and Reconnaissance Aircraft would be able to be used, to comprehensively monitor the entire island and collect relevant information about the island.
And it was in this hot preparation.
Central Pacific Ocean.
Kiribati.
Near the Gilbert Islands.
A cruise ship carrying three hundred passengers was cruising nearby.
There was constant laughter on the cruise ship, and many tourists were very comfortable, enjoying the joy of traveling.
“Allen!”
“Allen!”
On the third deck, a young couple anxiously called out, and finally found the blond little boy who was leaning against the railing.
“How did you disappear in the blink of an eye? We almost couldn’t find you!”
The little boy opened his beautiful big eyes and pointed to the sea below with his hand:
“Mom and Dad, what is that in the sea? Why is it bigger than the fish I saw in the aquarium?”
“Bigger than the fish in the aquarium?”
The young couple were a little surprised when they heard this.
This cruise ship only cruises and sightsees near the island and will not be too far from the island. How big can the fish nearby be?
But when they looked in the direction of the little boy’s finger, their eyes immediately froze.
Under the deep blue sea, a huge, dark Shadow was slowly cruising.
It was nearly fifty meters long, covered with pale gold Scale armor, and had a Single horn on its head, which looked very familiar.
At this time, more and more passengers on the cruise ship discovered this behemoth lurking nearby.
In addition to the shock, someone soon noticed the identity of this giant beast:
“This… this seems to be that Six-Clawed Black Serpent?!”
“No, how did it get so big?”
“And why are the scales on its body golden?”
“Shouldn’t it be on the island? How could it appear here?”
“Not good! It’s coming towards us! It’s going to attack the cruise ship!!”
……
Amidst the panicked shouts, the Six-Clawed Black Serpent at the bottom of the sea suddenly rushed towards the cruise ship. The huge body collided with the cruise ship, which was almost the same length. In the loud explosion, one side of the hull was directly dented, and the sharp Single horn pierced a huge opening.
Seawater poured in through the cracks in the bottom of the ship, and the entire cruise ship capsized to one side, and countless people fell, screaming.
The shrill cries, the panicked curses, kept coming from around.
After several collisions, this cruise ship with a displacement of one thousand tons completely capsized.
The Six-Clawed Black Serpent, which had completed the hunt, began to wantonly enjoy the spoils. Its terrifying giant mouth opened, and it could swallow more than a dozen people in one bite, instantly tearing them into bloody flesh.
The screams on the sea became less and less, and finally, there was only a sound of chewing.
“Crack.”
“Crack.”
……
Two hours later, this tragedy that occurred in Kiribati instantly shocked the world.
Through the nautical log, the ship’s video surveillance system, and the waterproof cameras salvaged, the outside world was able to roughly restore the process of the tragedy.
And when it was discovered that the culprit who attacked the cruise ship was a giant beast that was extremely similar to the Six-Clawed Black Serpent, from the Official Authorities of Various Countries to the bottom people, everyone was shocked to the extreme.
The auction had just ended, and everyone was still immersed in the fantasy of Missile sweeping the ground to occupy the island and seize various resources. This giant beast that suddenly appeared, simply slapped everyone in the face twice.
In addition to the shock and anger, many questions came to everyone’s mind.
How did this giant beast get out of the island?
Is it just it, or are there many others?
Is the strength of each one as strong as it is?
Where are the places they often appear?
Will they seriously affect major trade Flight Path?
How can they be completely eliminated and even captured?
……
Various countries held emergency consultations, and soon everyone mastered the whereabouts and approximate origins of this Ferocious beast.
The good news is that there is only this Ferocious beast that has escaped from the island.
The comprehensive data provided by the acoustic detectors, wave energy buoy platforms, etc. deployed near the island showed that no large-scale Ferocious beast escape phenomenon was observed.
Including the one that has been discovered now, because its size and various data are easy to be confused with Submarine, the recorded data has not been given enough attention by the observers.
The bad news is that this Ferocious beast is likely the Six-Clawed Black Serpent that seized the Demon King Fruit on the island.
Referring to the changes of Qi Xuan’s Mount before and after taking the Demon King Fruit, although the size has shrunk a lot, the strength has been greatly improved.
Now, the Six-Clawed Black Serpent, which has also taken the Demon King Fruit, has improved its strength, and its size may also have increased greatly.
Although this situation is still a bit tricky, it is not as troublesome as imagined beforehand.
The Six-Clawed Black Serpent is indeed very strong. In terms of its previous performance, only the Golden-Eyed Winged Dragon that Qi Xuan encountered could be stable and suppress it.
Now, after taking the Demon King Fruit, it has gained a huge improvement. Perhaps its strength is at the same level as the Golden-Eyed Winged Dragon.
In fact, even if it is stronger than the Golden-Eyed Winged Dragon, it doesn’t matter, it’s just a few more Missiles.
And although this giant beast is roaming in the vast ocean, and because of the reason of snatching the Demon King Fruit before, it is full of hatred for humans.
But it still knows nothing about the power of science, and it is even unaware of human monitoring methods.
As long as it keeps moving around in the sea and attacking humans everywhere, it will be successfully positioned and strongly killed by the human side in a short time.
While they were still discussing the patrol and trapping plan, France suddenly sent intelligence that the Floréal-class frigate patrolling nearby had discovered the whereabouts of the Six-Clawed Black Serpent and was closely pursuing it.
And while the French frigate was chasing the Six-Clawed Black Serpent, the people outside also received the corresponding intelligence.
Since the Kiribati tragedy, television stations and news Media from various countries have arrived at the scene of the accident by helicopter, closely reporting the relevant news and follow-up rescue operations.
Among them, a television station from the Lighthouse, after learning about France’s tracking of the Six-Clawed Black Serpent, immediately arrived at the relevant sea area nearby and took the lead in aerial shooting and reporting.
The beautiful woman reporter with big waves sat next to the side door of the plane and shouted into the camera:
“We are now at the first scene of the human Warship chasing the Six-Clawed Black Serpent!”
“What appears in our picture is the Floréal-class frigate from France.”
“According to the news we received, this Warship was originally performing a patrol mission in the nearby sea area. After learning about the tragedy that occurred in Kiribati, it came to help with the sea rescue, but it didn’t expect to encounter the culprit who caused the tragedy, the Six-Clawed Black Serpent, in advance.”
“The current general guess is that this Six-Clawed Black Serpent is the one that swallowed the Demon King Fruit on the island. It is full of hatred for the humans who once fought with it for the Demon King Fruit. If it is not eliminated in time, similar tragedies in the future will still happen. Fortunately, our Warship has caught up with it, and now it’s time to let it see the power of humans.”
The shooting lens zoomed in, and in front of the Warship breaking through the waves, there was a dark Shadow, which was almost half the length of the Warship.
Seeing this scene, many netizens were all shocked:
“No wonder the cruise ship will be sunk, this is too outrageous, how can the Six-Clawed Black Serpent be so big?!”
“Yes, I remember that when it swallowed the Frogman on the island before, it was only twenty or thirty meters, right? Now the size has almost increased by a small half, this is growing too fast.”
“It’s not that it’s growing fast, but the effect of the Demon King Fruit is too strong! And because of this, it will be particularly hostile to humans, because as long as it didn’t pay attention at the beginning, the Demon King Fruit was successfully snatched away by the Frogman. Now that it encounters humans, how can it not retaliate?”
“Fortunately, fortunately, this guy’s size is finally not too exaggerated. If it were the Giant Octopus that Qi God encountered before, a Tentacle would be as thick as a train, and it is estimated that this Warship would only be a dish if it rushed up.”
“Not necessarily, the island is so small, it can’t raise a Ferocious beast like the Giant Octopus.”
“In fact, even if the Giant Octopus really comes, it doesn’t matter. We don’t only have Warship, under the Nuclear Weapon, all beings are equal.”
“This time, France can finally show off a bit, and at least wash away the shame of being completely wiped out on the island before.”
“It’s just a small serpent, with my Warship here, it can be easily handled.”
“I don’t know how much the corpse of this Six-Clawed Black Serpent can be sold for after it is shot down?”
“Still thinking about selling money? It’s better to use it for Scientific research.”
……
While the netizens were chatting, the Floréal-class frigate had also launched an attack on the Six-Clawed Black Serpent.
The 100mm CADAM Naval gun located at the bow of the ship, frantically fired at the Six-Clawed Black Serpent’s back exposed in the sea.
But because the moving trajectory was difficult to predict, and the distance was too far, only a part of it fell on the Six-Clawed Black Serpent, instantly splashing a large area of sparks. Most of them were blocked by the thick Scale armor. Among them, a very small number of shots hit the weak parts and barely penetrated.
Seeing this scene, the captain was immediately very surprised.
In contrast, the Six-Clawed Black Serpent, which may have been hit by the Naval gun, was no longer trying to escape forward at this moment, but instead planned to deal with the Warship.
“Machine gunner!”
In the urgent call, the 20mm machine gun quickly turned its position, and the rate of fire of up to 720 rounds per minute, poured out a rain of bullets at the Six-Clawed Black Serpent that was rushing over.
But what was shocking was that the sea in front of the Six-Clawed Black Serpent quickly began to Freeze.
The Ice cubes quickly spread towards the ship. The bullets of the machine gun hit the solid ice surface, splashing a large amount of ice chips, and the power was greatly reduced.
Under the cover of the ice surface, the Six-Clawed Black Serpent rushed towards the Warship at an unimaginable high speed.
“Evasion!”
In the terrified roar, the Six-Clawed Black Serpent, which was rushing over, slammed into it, and the sharp and sharp Single horn instantly broke the hull, piercing deeply into the interior and poking a big hole.
Seawater poured in.
After the Six-Clawed Black Serpent retreated, it continued to freeze the ice surface to imprison the ship, and repeatedly rammed the Warship underwater.
In front of the television station’s camera, everyone watched the Warship being sunk on the spot by the Six-Clawed Black Serpent without any ability to fight back.
And after sinking the Floréal-class frigate, the Six-Clawed Black Serpent suddenly raised its head, and its cold eyes stared straight at the camera. In the next second, its horns suddenly lit up with blue light, and an Ice spike instantly burst out and quickly rushed to the front.
The camera went black.
One second,
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
It took three full seconds.
The whole world then burst into a shocking discussion:
“Why? Why can’t even the Warship stop it?!”
“That’s a Warship! It was sunk so easily?!”
“What a joke? Do you still need to send an Aircraft carrier to deal with a Six-Clawed Black Serpent?!”
“Isn’t the most terrifying thing the Ice spike behind? Damn, I almost thought it was shot at me, it scared the hell out of me!”
“The helicopter seems to be doomed even if it flies so high. Anti-Submarine, anti-ship, air defense, damn, this giant beast is too versatile!”
“Now it’s only fifty meters. If it continues to grow, and even grows to the extent of the Giant Octopus, who can deal with it in the vast ocean?”
“We must find a way to kill it as soon as possible!”
“Eradicate? How to eradicate? Are you going to send an Aircraft carrier to suppress it?!”
……
Amidst the noisy discussions, the familiar Light screen quickly began to appear in the sky all over the world.
Qi Xuan’s Live Stream, opened.
