Lu Ping'an looked at everything in front of him calmly. As a flame knight, he didn't feel the heat.
While the newly constructed "endoskeleton" continuously converts thermal energy into kinetic energy, the "hand-binding" technique also makes the elements more humble.
When he lay in it, the symbiotic sun vine absorbed most of the heat and gave him extremely terrifying fire resistance.
Coupled with the fire control skill up to level 17... In a sense, Lu Ping'an can be regarded as a real abyss flame monster. At least at the shallow level, those who play with fire spontaneously combust in front of him.
"......What's this?"
"The Molten Hole Crocodile Dragon is a monster of level three or above. This one should be considered a lord level, around level four or five. It shouldn't be here..."
If Lu Ping'an didn't understand, he took a screenshot and threw it to his AI, which instantly recognized it and gave him suggestions and advice on how to deal with it.
"...It has a bit of dragonborn blood, which is very thin, but it does possess the properties of 'dragon', 'flame', and 'abyss' at the same time, which is quite suitable for your armor needs..." "
With that said, Lu Pingping is no longer sleepy.
"boom!"
The flame knight jumped up, and the Crocodile Dragon, which was carrying lava and fire poison, immediately raised its head and spit out a mouthful of foul-smelling red mist.
"Let's go!"
"Get out of the way, it's poisonous! Back away."
The scene was chaotic. After the first wave of attacks, facing the approaching flame riders, the Crocodile Dragon's huge body expanded violently again. The black scales shone with a metallic light, and the long mouth seemed to be intimidating.
Its eyes shone with greedy desire, its small wings flapped violently in the air, its lower body was still bound to the earth, but strong wind sounds came from its throat.
"call!"
The violent winds spurting out from the throats brought flames and poisonous smoke, setting the entire sky on fire.
The poisonous mist it sprays is spread by strong winds, bringing death and burning.
Mortals are rolling on the ground, eager for fate to take care of them.
"boom!"
The metal knight punched him.
It appeared in the scorching red mist, ignoring the vicious fire poison, and clenched its silver armored hands fiercely.
"boom!"
One punch.
"boom!"
Another punch.
The panic of mortals did not turn into reality, and the originally expected confrontation between the two powers did not happen.
The huge crocodile dragon was like a poor stray dog, whimpering pitifully.
The fire poison and burning liquid in his stomach were stuffed directly back into his stomach without being sprayed out.
The flames around the huge metal knight dispersed, and he held the terrifying crocodile dragon in his hand like a dog. He punched it one after another, causing poisonous blood to fly and the scene to be tragic.
The "evil man" was unreasonable and punched him one after another. Blood splattered and the scene was extremely cruel.
Those "little ones" in the middle? Originally they thought they had entered a desperate situation, but they did not expect that both Crocodile Dragon and Fire Knight were only interested in each other.
They noticed that the giant even had time to turn his head and glance at them...
"run!"
The two red children made of flames were full of malice and blood, which was the bad taste of a wolf playing with a rabbit.
It has been playing with these prey.
It beat up the crocodile dragon in front of it just because the other party violated its hunting ground and goal...
"Run, run!"
That glance directly attacked the soul and mind, and seemed to be a supernatural ability in itself.
The frightened candidates sped up and ran away rolling and crawling.
However, the metal flame knight did not let them go so easily.
"Snapped!"
With a snap of his fingers, dozens of evil beasts jumped out from the shadows.
Most of them were weird flame dogs, and there were also a few horned demons. They were both red and wounded. The moment they appeared, they fixed their eyes on the "master's" prey.
The chase begins again.
When the owner is not available, the hunting dog will fulfill its tracking obligations.
The candidates ran for their lives in a panic, and no one had time to notice that the vicious beasts had strange bone needles inserted into their foreheads and temples.
They are like moving zombies, but their stiff bodies are not slow. They keep their distance and always maintain pressure on the candidates.
On the other side, Lu Ping'an also took out his hand.
The crocodile dragon is a very dangerous creature. It is quite deadly in terms of physical power, fire and poison, and its opponent...
"Ouch!"
It screamed like a puppy.
The proud minions are meaningless. Compared with the huge power of the Metal Knight, it is like a pitiful little beast.
"...Performance is good."
The new "kinetic armor" provided Lu Ping'an with terrifying brute strength. What was originally his biggest shortcoming became his strength, and the flames spouted by the crocodile dragon became the source of brute strength.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
The screaming crocodile dragon felt the severe pain of being pulled on both sides. It tried to struggle, tried to resist, and tried to spit out the last poisonous flame.
The core gem was forced out of the scorching fire, which was the last brilliant brilliance of its life. The flames at that moment reached its peak.
However, that instead became the source of energy for the knight to increase his brute strength...
"Kacha!"
There was a crisp explosion, and the powerful crocodile dragon struggled helplessly in the hands of the metal knight.
When the hands were separated, they turned into two pieces of flesh and blood.
"......interesting."
After completing the test, Lu Ping'an turned his attention to the south, where there seemed to be another test question that exceeded the syllabus.
"...This, it came out too fast, do you really don't have to worry about taking it off?"
The next moment, he turned his gaze to the north. His "pets" seemed to have died on a large scale. Are they other examiners? Or a new trouble?
"Tsk, this job is getting harder and harder."
Helpless, he could only speed up the pace to prevent all the candidates from being ruined, which would be quite troublesome.
The same thing is happening on this land, as more and more middle- and lower-level monsters climb onto the shallow layer.
This is obviously not normal. Most of them don't have the motivation or goal to do this, nor do they have such sensitive senses of smell and perception... They may come, but they shouldn't come so fast or in so many numbers.
Is the attraction pheromone delivered from above too strong? There is still something underneath, throwing out more probing chips.
Lu Ping'an had already noticed that something was wrong. It seemed that he had lost control too early. He was considering whether to send these candidates out.
"If we continue like this, the mortality rate will definitely exceed 10%."
The situation on Lu Ping'an's side is actually the best. His strength has surpassed the ordinary fourth-level standard type, and what surpasses his colleagues even more is his ability to adapt to the local environment.
The abyss world bordering the earth is dominated by the world of flames. Lu Ping'an's flame resistance makes it his home, and the full-coverage armor avoids most environmental damage...well, just Lu Ping An's armor can actually be his home in most foreign lands.
While he was worried about the increasing troubles, the other "examiners" and "examination attendants" were even more troubled.
In some places, examiners have been killed in battle, and candidates have died on a large scale... From now on, the effect of "holy water" has been significantly weakened.
What Lu Ping'an was vaguely aware of has become a reality.
In a sense, many "insiders" are now chess pieces testing the abyss, and now the monsters on the opposite side have begun to eat these chess pieces.
The counterattack of the abyss was much more active than expected. A large number of mid- to high-level monsters were driven to the shallow layer, which became a big trouble for the candidates and even the examiners.
"Get away!"
On the other side, an examinee, with sword energy flying around, killed the high-level monster in front of him and saved the unlucky examiner.
Yes, the examinee saved the examiner... Sometimes, it is normal for the examinee to be stronger than the examiner, especially since this examinee, like Lu Ping'an, is also a humanoid Gundam that repeatedly "stacks armor".
"Are you...Xia Qin?"
Captain Xia Qin nodded. In such a harsh environment, she was used to sparring with some bastard, but she didn't even break a sweat.
However, the situation of the temporary team was much worse than expected.
