Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1124 - 455 Flying Over the Rift_2

By the time he saw the Giant Eagle, the Giant Eagle had definitely seen them, and they couldn’t afford to be optimistic, especially since there was nothing to cover them here—the Giant Eagle’s perspective made them incredibly easy to spot!

“Roger!”

He Jijun, who had just bypassed the rift, immediately slammed on the accelerator, and the speed of the car increased to near its maximum in an extremely short time, the pale blue flames at the rear of the car exceptionally dazzling in the night.

It was fortunate that everyone in the car had buckled their seat belts; otherwise, with such turns and acceleration, they probably would have been thrown out.

When Wang Tao saw the Giant Eagle also accelerate instantly, he knew it had indeed spotted them!

“This is unlucky… I just hope we don’t run into another rift behind us!”

Wang Tao’s face looked a bit grim.

If it hadn’t been for the sudden appearance of the rift, the Giant Eagle probably wouldn’t have noticed them. They could only hope that the Crystal Energy Car would be powerful enough, and that no more rifts would appear.

Though the speed of the Crystal Energy Car was very fast after going into overdrive, the speed of the Giant Eagle was not slow either, and Wang Tao was not certain they could outrun it.

What surprised Wang Tao was that after accelerating for a while, the Giant Eagle suddenly slowed down.

“Huh? This Giant Eagle… seems to be wary of that rift?”

Wang Tao noticed that the Giant Eagle, upon approaching the rift, had suddenly slowed down—no, not just slowed down, it was actually preparing to detour around the rift!

Even though the Giant Eagle could fly through the air and the rift was on the ground, meaning it could have flown directly over the rift, it chose to take a detour instead… Wang Tao felt that this was clearly an avoidance of the rift.

“Is it because the Giant Eagle senses something from within the rift? Or is there something strange in the airspace above the rift?”

Wang Tao carefully paid attention and realized that he actually did not feel any dangerous aura from the rift, only mystery and the unknown. As for the space above the rift, it felt even safer.

For someone of his strength, the sixth sense was very accurate, especially concerning intuition about danger, which had allowed him to avoid many crises.

However, he did not have time to research it and was currently unclear about what was happening. Regardless, the Giant Eagle taking a detour was a good thing as it bought them some time.

Hum—

The Crystal Energy Car sped along, taking advantage of the Giant Eagle’s detour to gain some distance, but it hadn’t completely lost the Giant Eagle, as Wang Tao could still see the small black dot in the sky.

After sharing his observations with the others, they were puzzled as well.

“Could it be that there is some Monster inside the rift stronger than the Giant Eagle?”

“Or is the space above the rift a No-fly Zone, where something unfavorable might happen if one ventures into it?”

“I, for one, don’t feel any danger…”

“…”

Amidst the group’s discussion, Wang Tao took a close look at the Giant Eagle.

[HP: 300000/300000]

[Mana: 200000/200000]

[Level: Level 5, Lord]

[Awakening: Giant]

“Hm? Why do I feel that it hasn’t improved at all…”

If he remembered correctly, Wang Tao noticed that the last time he saw the Giant Eagle, it had these same attributes. Now, not to mention rising to Level 6, even its HP and Mana had not increased.

He wondered whether it had encountered some accident or if its conditions for Ascension were particularly difficult. Either way, this made Wang Tao feel a bit relieved from his ongoing anxiety.

He had previously experienced the speed of the Giant Eagle, and if its strength hadn’t increased, then relying on the Crystal Energy Car that was consuming large amounts of Crystal Cores, even if they couldn’t outrun the Giant Eagle, at least they could keep it from catching up for a short period.

After being discovered by the Giant Eagle, Wang Tao did not expect to be able to outrun it; he just wanted to leave the plain as quickly as possible to look for a convenient place to hide, and then take shelter!

The best method of evasion after encountering the Giant Eagle wasn’t running—running was futile; it was hiding.

“What a pity it can fly, or else, I really would have liked to test its strength…”

Wang Tao felt somewhat helplessly resigned.

Flying monsters only needed to fly higher and Wang Tao would be unable to reach them. In direct combat, his disadvantage was too great.

Although he still had a Crystal Energy Gun in his hand, he only had two of them, and the damage wasn’t too high, unless he could kill the enemy instantly, they were of little use. And this Giant Eagle happened to be an [Awakening: Giant], thinking about instantly slaying a Level 5 Giant was clearly a fool’s dream…

“There’s another rift!”

At this moment, Jiang Shixue, who had been observing the path ahead, suddenly spoke.

Wang Tao immediately turned his head to look, and saw a pitch-black rift appear in the snowfield ahead.

This rift was much narrower than the previous two, but extremely elongated.

And the consequence of being elongated was that to go around this rift would mean taking a much longer detour!

The sky was already brightening, and with the strong contrast between the snow’s whiteness and the rift’s blackness, the group quickly saw the rift with their own eyes.

“What do we do now…”

Faced with the rift blocking their way, they were somewhat stupefied.

If they wanted to go around this narrow rift… No need to think about it, they would definitely be caught by the Giant Eagle chasing behind them!

“Are we going to have a showdown with the Giant Eagle?”

Although everyone was nervous, they weren’t too scared.

They had slain Level 5 Monster Lords before; this Giant Eagle was also a Level 5, Lord, and there was likewise a chance for them to kill it.

Even if the danger was high and they might suffer heavy losses, they wouldn’t cower at the critical moment!

However, Wang Tao didn’t plan to have a head-on clash with the Giant Eagle to the bitter end; that was the worst-case scenario. The situation hadn’t reached that point yet…

“Old He, do you think our car can make it over this rift?”

Wang Tao suddenly turned towards He Jijun.

After quickly scanning the surroundings, He Jijun looked towards a section of the snowfield with a certain slope:

“There’s an incline over there, and the rift is narrower at that spot. With some acceleration from there and relying on the performance of the Crystal Energy Car, we can leap over the rift. But…”

While it was possible to leap over, he wasn’t sure what the situation was above the rift, especially since even the Giant Eagle seemed to dread it…

“As long as we can leap over, just wait for me!”

Wang Tao suddenly grabbed a bundle of Rope from the car, then took out Little Bing from his pocket, tied it up, and then looked at Little Bing with a serious face.

“Little Bing, help us scout the path ahead. If there’s any danger, I’ll pull you back!”

Although this method was somewhat underhanded, it was the most suitable approach.

Of course, Wang Tao didn’t think lightly of Little Bing’s life. Another reason was that he could clearly feel that Little Bing didn’t have much dread for the rift.

They say animals have keen Danger Perception, so it was likely that Little Bing didn’t feel too much danger.

Not just Little Bing, Wang Tao himself didn’t feel much Fear for the rift itself; what he dreaded about the rift was the eerie way it had appeared…

It was temporarily impossible to see inside the rift, and Wang Tao didn’t know the situation, but he believed that the space above the rift should be safe.

“Squeak~”

Little Bing wasn’t resistant either; in fact, it seemed rather excited. After Wang Tao secured it firmly, he gathered some strength and then violently tossed it forward.

Whoosh—

Little Bing, with the Rope trailing behind like a projectile, took off and landed at a very fast Speed across the rift in the snowfield. Little Bing rolled over, immediately bit off the Rope, and called out to Wang Tao.

“It’s okay!”

Wang Tao grinned.

At that moment, the Giant Eagle had already arrived. Wang Tao immediately got into the car, watched He Jijun reverse, then suddenly sped towards the slope, with dazzling blue light shooting from the back of the car.

Buzz~

Whoosh—thud!

The Crystal Energy Car drew a beautiful arc, landing heavily next to Little Bing.

“Chirp—”

The Giant Eagle arrived a little too late.

It watched the car fly over the rift without any danger occurring, and it seemed to want to fly over as well, but then it seemed to remember something it dreaded and forcefully stopped in its tracks.

Then it landed in the area where the car had been before, staring at the Crystal Energy Car growing more distant.

On the car, Wang Tao was very puzzled.

He thought the Giant Eagle would follow them across, given the Giant Eagle didn’t seem dumb. But the Giant Eagle did not… So what was it exactly dreading?

Or perhaps… could they exploit what the Giant Eagle dreaded to slay it?
