Chapter 118 The Crimson Clan
Ten minutes later, the two rushed into the atmosphere of the giant star, leaving behind two streaks of light.
After falling for tens of thousands of kilometers, the two entered dense clouds, where their vision was reduced to only a few meters.
After falling for over 10,000 kilometers, the two suddenly broke through the clouds, and their vision cleared, revealing the surface of the star core.
It was a world of lava.
In the misty fog, fiery red lava flows like rivers across the planet's surface, and faint red lakes can be seen, which are magma gushing out from the depths of the star's core.
In less than a minute, Gao Sheng and Lan Luo were close to the ground when they saw a red light rushing towards them from the ground.
"Cosmic level three?" Gao Sheng sensed Xiao Ai's detection results.
The results of intelligent optical brain detection of this kind of energy life are not necessarily accurate, but only indicate the energy range.
"Lanluo".
Boom! Lanluo unleashed his Golden Domain, and a string of golden light flew up from the golden domain, transforming into a sharp cone that pierced directly through the red light. The red light trembled and struggled left and right, with a low roar coming from it, still trying its best to get closer.
Upon closer inspection, Gao Sheng realized that it wasn't a red light at all, but rather a mass of lava. The entire magma body was strangely deformed and twisting, and its volume would shrink slightly each time Lan Luo's spike passed through it.
Lanluo manipulated the spike to pierce continuously, and finally, "Boom!" the mass of magma exploded, leaving only some fragments scattered on the ground, which turned black and solidified in the air.
"Master, the 'Crimson Darkness' clan seems to be able to deflect force, making their attacks very ineffective," Lanluo said.
"Of course, these 'Crimson Dark' life forms are very special and difficult to deal with; they are just a mass of magma liquid," Gao Sheng said. "They don't have any core weaknesses, so physical attacks are ineffective, and they don't have a soul, so mental attacks are completely ineffective."
As they spoke, the two had already set foot on solid ground.
The ground was dark red, pitted and covered with black lines, and the temperature exceeded 1,000 degrees Celsius.
Of course, this temperature is nothing on a cosmic scale.
Gao Sheng sensed Xiao Ai's detection results in his consciousness.
Gao Sheng now has more than one detector. In addition to the fine detector with a radius of 100 kilometers that he had before, after he came out of the Realm Within a Realm and became rich, Gao Sheng bought a large-range detector with a detection radius of 10,000 kilometers. It is worth 800 billion cosmic coins. It is a moderate type that balances range and accuracy. Generally, only Realm Lords use instruments like this. The detection accuracy is also quite good.
Even in the extremely dense atmosphere of this planet, it can be detected from 5,000 kilometers away, and the underground rock layers can be detected from about 5 kilometers away.
"There are more than 100,000 'Crimson Dark' race beings on the surface of the earth within a 10,000-kilometer radius, and even more in the underground lava rivers."
"Most of them are below the sixth level of the cosmic level, and there are less than a thousand of them at the eighth or ninth level."
"There are also four cosmic-level humans."
Gao Sheng nodded secretly.
The life forms of the Crimson Dark race cannot actually be classified using the human cultivation system. The different levels of the cosmic level are merely the detected energy intensity.
Although they look numerous, there's actually only one every tens of kilometers, so they're not densely packed at all.
"Let's go this way," Gao Sheng called to Lan Luo.
The surface gravity of this star core is not very high, only about several dozen times that of a typical life-bearing planet. However, the atmospheric density is extremely high. Although it is called gas, it is much heavier than the oceans of a typical planet. The resistance in this air is so great that even with the strength of two people, they can only fly at a speed of about 50 kilometers per second.
Of course, Gaosheng wouldn't fly at that speed; it would only maintain a speed of 10 kilometers per second.
Moreover, the atmosphere was like a thick fog, and even with cosmic-level vision, one could only barely see a few kilometers away.
Therefore, vision is useless; we can only rely on telekinesis or instruments to detect!
They hadn't flown far when several more Crimson Clan creatures rushed towards them.
On the rising arm, 96 short needles flew up, combining to form a thick fire python, which coiled and strangled the Crimson Clan life that pounced in front. Lanluo's golden spike was also dealing with a Crimson Clan life.
"So troublesome?" As soon as Gao Sheng made a move, he discovered the special nature of this Crimson Dark Clan life form. Although its attack power was not high and it did not have any weapons or armor, the fire python's attacks could only slowly wear down the opponent's body. Only after wearing down most of it did it explode and dissipate with a "poof".
"It's probably because the fire-based attacks from the Serpentfire Realm are less effective against the Crimson Dark Clan's life force."
"Whoosh!" The short needle flew back, and Gao Sheng immediately used his sword to clear a path. Before long, they encountered several more lava creatures. Sure enough, this time it saved them a lot of effort.
After traveling hundreds of kilometers, a black stone, about half a meter square, appeared on the ground ahead. Half of it was embedded in the ground, and its surface shimmered with tiny silver lights, making it distinctly different from the surrounding rocks.
"Master, look." Lanluo stepped forward and looked.
Gao Sheng used his mental power to directly pull out the black stone, then reached out and lifted it up to examine it closely.
"Yes, that's it, the Crimson Silver Ore. This piece weighs over two tons."
Gao Sheng put away the ore and said, "Continue. We don't need to worry about these scattered pieces of ore."
After flying for more than 3,000 kilometers and killing dozens of Crimson Clan members, a giant mountain appeared on the distant ground, with a large hole several kilometers wide and emitting a red light on its summit.
"Go in!" Gao Sheng took the lead and jumped in first, followed closely by Lan Luo.
"Notice."
The opening is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with Gao Sheng in front and Lan Luo behind, looking down.
"Hiss!" A low hissing sound rose up as more than twenty Crimson Dark Clan creatures rushed up from the bottomless pit.
Lanluo looked at the results of the quantum computer's detection: a fourth-tier cosmic-level being? A fifth-tier being? The strongest one was an eighth-tier being?
More than twenty groups of lava, glowing red, rushed upwards. Gao Sheng laughed heartily; "Well done!"
Thousands of short needles flew up from Gao Sheng's side, and six fire pythons rushed towards the strongest Crimson Dark Clan life form. Then, he drew his sword and fought with the other magma life forms.
Lanluo also used all his abilities, three golden spikes flew up, and under the connection of his psychic power, they transformed into an even larger spike. He even took out a curved knife in his hand.
"Swish, swish, swish!" Gao Sheng moved like lightning, his sword flashing fiercely.
A moment later, the other lava lifeforms exploded one by one, leaving only the strongest Crimson Dark Clan lifeform, which roared angrily and charged left and right, surrounded by six fire pythons.
"Lanluo, step back!"
Upon hearing this, Lanluo retreated several hundred meters away. Gao Sheng put away the fire python and charged forward with his sword.
With a whoosh, amidst the flashes of sword light, the massive mass of magma vanished at a visible speed.
Gao Sheng used the Falling Leaf Sword Technique.
The melee techniques I exchanged initially, Seven Killings of Blazing Fire, is a sword technique that combines fire and space; Falling Leaves Sword Art, on the other hand, combines wood and space.
This Crimson Clan life form clearly has a high resistance to fire, so Gao Sheng naturally used the Falling Leaf Sword Technique.
This eighth-order cosmic-level Crimson Clan life form is only powerful; in terms of actual combat strength, it is still inferior to Gengna. What use is its great power if it can't even touch Gao Sheng?
However, Gao Sheng always had to attack his opponent to wear down their strength. With each sword strike, the force of the recoil alone made Gao Sheng feel his arms go numb.
Finally, amidst roars of resentment, *crack!* The Crimson Dark Clan member shattered into countless fragments that scattered into the bottom of the pit.
"It's really tough. If it weren't for the 'bracing shell' (a type of protective material), I really wouldn't be able to withstand such close combat," Gao Sheng exclaimed.
If it were a normal human opponent, a fatal blow would kill them. Even if there was a recoil, they could withstand it. To kill them by grinding them down like this would be trading injury for injury, which is not something that can be done.
Of course, Gao Sheng could have easily worn down the Crimson Clan using ranged attacks, but the fire damage from the Serpentfire Realm was too ineffective against their lives, so Gao Sheng didn't want to waste time.
"continue!"
The two continued downwards, and the pit became narrower and more winding.
After flying for two or three kilometers, we finally reached the end. In the tunnel, which was more than 300 meters wide, a huge, dark-colored rock stood abruptly against the stone wall.
