Chapter 110: Sublimated Flame and Free Flight
By the time Luke arrived in Morehead City, it was already afternoon.

The city is not small, but it is much less famous than the other cities Luke has visited. There are no special tourist attractions, nor any LGBT gimmicks. The sun shines gently on the streets, giving the city a golden glow.

Of course, beneath this tranquility, there are also undercurrents. According to the crystal ball, there are also dark creatures in this city.

Whether from the perspective of travel or exorcism, it is a place worth staying.

After checking in at the hotel, Luke, who had just experienced a terrifying night, did not immediately go looking for clues about the monster as he had done in the past, but decided to take a day off.

Taking a walk in an unfamiliar city is a very novel experience. Or even in a familiar city, occasionally finding an alley you have never been to and walking around in it is interesting.

Luke walked aimlessly on the streets of Morehead City. It must be said that the American people are very tolerant. Luke walked on the street staring at a head that looked like a peeled egg. Although he received some surprised looks, overall, he was not watched by too many people.

Let’s not talk about the hair for now, when will the eyebrows grow out?

恼！
Although Luke's physical fitness is several times stronger than that of ordinary people and his metabolism is extremely fast, he had just had his hair shaved, so he would have to maintain this egg-like shape for at least a few days.

Before he knew it, Luke had walked along the street to a small square.

After such a while, he discovered a special feature of this city, that is, there are many animals. It may be related to the good greening of the city. In just such a short distance, he found many squirrels, hedgehogs, and even two raccoons, which were carrying food they had begged from somewhere and were moving around in the bushes in a sneaky manner.

The square, like many cities, is filled with pigeons. Residents who rest here often feed them some bread crumbs and other food, so they are basically not afraid of people.

Luke sat on a bench in the square. The chairs were also of American style, with fences separating each one at a distance slightly larger than the size of a person's butt to prevent homeless people from lying on them and sleeping.

The afternoon sun is so warm on my body that I can't help but feel sleepy.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and take a nap, a sudden loud noise attracted his attention.

When I opened my eyes and looked over, I saw two young American guys, who looked like they were only in high school or college. One of them was holding a cell phone to record a video, while the other was holding a plastic bag and talking excitedly into the phone.

"I'll give you a whole job today!"

After he finished speaking, he untied the big plastic bag in his hand, which was full of slices of bread. He threw the bread onto the square, and the pigeons, who had never seen so much rich food, immediately came to grab the food. Dozens of slices of bread made the ground dirty, and the pigeons also flapped their wings and flew around, instantly turning the peaceful square into chaos.

Luke frowned. Not only was there confusion, his keen sense of smell also detected some suspicious smell from the bread.

A silly prank.

His mood of strolling and relaxing was disturbed, so he stood up, hailed a taxi, returned to the hotel, lay on the bed to rest, and checked his phone for a while before going to bed.

As soon as he opened the short video app, Luke saw the live broadcast pushed locally. It was the two young men he had just seen in the small square. The two were running and shouting excitedly. There were many people running for their lives near them.

In the sky, dense black matter is falling down.

Sure enough, what Luke smelled just now was the smell of medicine. He guessed correctly that what these two people did was to spread laxatives on bread and feed them to pigeons. Birds are straightforward, and under the catalysis of laxatives, they flew freely above the square.

After watching with great interest for a while, the two young men were well prepared and ran quite fast. They soon got on the car. After they were safe, they started live streaming the chaotic scene outside the car window.

After looking at the phone for a while, Luke's sleepiness actually dissipated a little, and he became more energetic.

He thought about it and decided that there were still some things on the panel that could be used, so he might as well use them first.

The first was "Spiritual Essence". In this battle in the diary space, there was no [Melted Gold] available, so "Indian Fighting Technique" played a significant role. Anyway, there was a lot of "Spiritual Essence" left, so Luke directly spent 1000 points to upgrade "Indian Fighting Technique" to the expert level.

A large amount of hand-to-hand combat experience appeared in Luke's mind out of thin air. He closed his eyes and felt those new force techniques and coping methods. These techniques have been firmly imprinted in his body, becoming a kind of muscle memory, and even his body, which has been strengthened many times, has become stronger.

However, the panel is good in every way except that there is no intuitive data to verify how much one's physical strength has grown.

There are data on mental strength, but unfortunately there is no other way to improve it except to upgrade the level. I don’t know if there will be other changes in the future.

In addition to the "Spiritual Essence", Luke also has 100 points of "Sublimation Essence", which can be used to sublimate an extraordinary skill, except for [Spirit Fang], whose secondary sublimation requires more essence.

After observing all the skills, Luke finally chose [Aztec War Sword Skill]. This sword skill, which was upgraded from an ordinary skill, has now become his strongest means of combat. It is even more important than [Spirit Fang] when facing a strong enemy.

100 points of "Sublime Essence" were invested in [Aztec War Sacrifice Sword Technique]. Luke's spirit entered a trance in an instant, and a huge winding figure emerged from the void and appeared in front of him.

Its head is like a snake, but it also has some eagle features. Its forehead is inlaid with a red gem that emits a dazzling glow. From its head to its entire body, it is covered with emerald green feathers. These feathers sparkle under the glow of the gem on its head, as if inlaid with countless tiny gems. A pair of narrow and powerful wings extend from not far below its head. The feathers are plump, and every slight vibration can resonate with the sky.

This mysterious and majestic creature lowered its head and glanced at Luke, with a hint of imperceptible surprise in its eyes. But it only took a glance before it withdrew its gaze and looked back at the distant starry sky, its figure disappearing into the void.

This time, Luke felt as if his body was burning. He floated lightly in the air, and the sun fire from the evil god Sun Bird exploded and surrounded him completely, but it did not ignite the clothes around him or anything in the room.

The flame burned stronger and brighter, so bright that it not only illuminated the entire room, but the light even shone directly out of the window, as if someone was shining a light bulb of hundreds of thousands of lumens outside.

In such a vigorous flame, the original properties of the sun fire that were similar to those of the evil god Sun Bird were all burned away, leaving only the purest solar power representing the Quetzalcoatl. Not only did the manipulated flame become more spiritual, the maximum temperature that the flame could reach was also greatly increased, doubling to nearly 2000 degrees, which is much higher than the temperature of an ordinary steelmaking furnace.

Now, combined with [Molten Gold], if the enemy's weapon does not have any special abilities, it will probably melt after just two moves.

After the sublimation of this [Aztec War Sacrifice Sword Technique], it did not bring Luke new combat experience, but instead became more like a supernatural power to control fire and fly.

After a while, the visions disappeared, Luke fell back to the ground, and then floated again.

However, this time, he was actively controlling the flight.

Yes, his "Sky Power" has also evolved again, and now he has the ability to actively float and fly.

However, there is still a limit to the flying height. His current sky power is insufficient, and he can only fly five or six meters above the ground, about the height of two floors, and can't go any higher.

It was daytime now, and although the sun was bright, it only shone through the window and did not attract the attention of others.

After a moment of familiarization, Luke retracted his ability and poured himself a glass of water.

The live broadcast software on the phone was still playing. Now that the birds had been released, the two young men had already driven away from the square and returned to their room to rest. Until now, they were still extremely excited, showing off to the camera, repeatedly describing the spectacular sight of the shit raining from the sky and the miserable looks of passers-by.

Just as we were talking excitedly, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The taller young man looked back, stood up and opened the door. The shorter one put his phone on the holder and replied to the comments while talking about ideas for the next prank.

Less than half a minute later, the tall man who went to open the door suddenly shouted "Ah!" His voice was full of fear and sounded extremely painful.

Hearing the voice suddenly, the short man shuddered and stood up in fear.

On the screen, various comments began to burst out.

"Are you in danger?"

"Were you caught up by someone?"

"It's not a robbery."

"I guess it's fake. He's playing a trick on you."

The short man's eyes swept across the screen and saw the last bullet message. Before he made any other moves, he seemed to have thought of something, his expression relaxed, and the smile returned to his face.

He put his face to the camera and laughed: "Oh! Mogaro almost fooled me!"

"I knew it! I knew it! He didn't get enough of today's prank, so now he's trying to play a prank on me."

"My friends, I'm not that easy to trick. Just wait and see how I fight back against him."

After saying that, he pointed the camera of his mobile phone at the entrance of the corridor behind him, then quietly walked over and hid behind the wall. He roughly estimated the time in his mind, and after a few seconds, he jumped out directly -

Standing in front of a black bear that was nearly two meters tall and had a corpse stuck in one hand.

He didn't even have time to shout before his legs went limp and he fell to the ground with a thump.

The black bear threw the corpse in his hand aside, bent his body down, covered his head with both hands, and pulled him to his side.

"what!!!"

In the live broadcast, only a dark shadow could be seen passing by, and the short man was pulled over by the black bear.

"Help!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Save me!"

However, none of the viewers of the live broadcast cared at this time, and they all commented on it, "Great acting", "Turns out it's just two people singing a double act", "You're trying to play a trick on me, right?"

The black bear cut open the short man's stomach and began to eat it bit by bit.

At this point, the short man had no strength left, but he still weakly begged for help, whispering, "Save me."

“It’s eating me.”

"I'm in so much pain."

At this time, most of the comments were still of the type "What a great acting", and only a few people seemed to have noticed that something was wrong, saw the blood, and started commenting "It seems real".

Unfortunately, they didn’t know the anchor’s exact location, and even if they called 911, they couldn’t explain it.

Luke was originally just glancing at the live broadcast out of boredom, but now he sat up straight and started watching it seriously.

The sound from the live broadcast and the blood flowing from the corner of the corridor did not sound fake. There was at least a 90% chance that they were real.

There are monsters eating people!
He hadn't watched the live broadcast for a while, so he didn't know which direction the two anchors went after leaving the square, so he just typed and sent a barrage to ask: "Does anyone know where the anchors are? I was just near the square, I can go and see."

Although there were a lot of barrages at this time, netizens had not seen many people go directly to check the host's water meter, so Luke's barrage quickly attracted the attention of sharp-eyed netizens.

Some viewers who watched the live broadcast in its entirety and had good memories of the event directly sent comments to give Luke guidance.

"Drive west from the road next to the square for about three minutes, then turn right and there is a very long road. Keep going straight for about ten minutes and you will almost reach the edge of the city."

"They were going very fast. After turning the corners, their speeds were basically over 100 miles per hour."

Luke looked at a few comments, most of which pointed to this place. He roughly understood how to find that place.

At this time, no sound was heard in the live broadcast. A large number of viewers who were watching the fun noticed that something was wrong, and dense barrages of comments began to appear.

"Isn't it true that something has happened?"

"Who is still here? Go check it out."

"That friend just now, have you set off?"

"Dial 911 quickly!"

"Come on, call the police now, those stupid policemen may not even get through next week."

However, Luke no longer paid attention to the barrage of comments. He quickly went downstairs, got in his car, and drove quickly in the direction mentioned by the barrage of comments.

Judging from the cries for help just now and the time, it was too late to rescue the two men, but Luke still had to go and see if there were any other victims.

But the most important thing is to destroy the man-eating monster. Not only will you gain something, you will also avenge the two anchors and prevent other people from being harmed by the monster. It's really killing three birds with one stone!
Win! Win! Win!
