Sheyan sighed and slowly released his foot from the accelerator. There was no point in stepping on the accelerator anymore.
The faint sound coming from the brand-new dual-core engine could only be described as the coughing of an old man who was about to die. Sheyan knew that no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.
The problem was not the fuel. The fuel tank that he had checked before he left was still full. Even now, it was still more than half full.
The poisonous gas and acidic gas emitted by the Deadlands had quietly corroded the engine of the Vulture. The corroded core, which required the most precision, was full of holes, causing the power output of the Vulture to drop again and again. In the end, it slowly became a joke.
"Time is precious," Sheyan said to himself.
He quickly jumped out of the cockpit and looked at the surface of the Vulture that had been corroded by the acidic gas and poisonous gas. His fingertips suddenly became long and sharp, turning into a silver-white knife, just like the one made by the liquid metal men in the movie Terminator 2. He effortlessly cut a large piece of leather from the seat of the Vulture and made it into a simple mask to cover his face.
The Deadlands poured its acidic gas and poisonous gas on Sheyan's body without discrimination. That's right, this undefeated harsh environment had begun to conquer the creatures in front of it. Sheyan strode forward while frowning and observing the rate at which his HP decreased. He finally came to a conclusion.
Even someone as strong as him would die after being exposed to such a harsh environment for more than ten hours.
Thinking of that, Sheyan couldn't help but frown. He couldn't help but scrutinize his ability once more as he muttered to himself.
"If it doesn't work, I'll have to put it aside for now. This way, I should be able to extend my survival time by about five hours."
The ability that Sheyan was examining was a powerful ability derived from the 'Pestilence Monarch' - 'Wound of Corrosion'!
The name of this ability was replaced by??? Instead, because it had combined with the ability that he had obtained from Pandora's Box, which could be customized for the owner, and had undergone a mutation! So now, under the name of the ability was a progress bar that was counting. It had now reached 89%.
There was no doubt that the combination of the two took up a large portion of the power of the 'Stairway of the Sun'. Therefore, if Sheyan temporarily paused this process, he believed that he could last a little longer.
In the face of such a vile survival crisis, Sheyan had already begun to consider the problem of surviving as long as possible. In view of the possibility of a long journey ahead, Sheyan wasn't in a hurry to set off. Instead, after making a fake mask, he cut off a few pieces of leather and wrapped them tightly around his legs. Only then did he stride forward at a uniform pace into the distance.
***
Less than ten minutes after Sheyan left the abandoned Vulture, a figure quietly appeared next to it. It was the modified Ghost, the assassin sent by the Queen, the Messenger of Pain.
At this moment, it had evolved once again in response to the damned environment of the "dead land".
The armor-like exoskeleton on its body had faded away, replaced by a layer of skin that was as dense as a fruit shell but light and tough. The acid mist and poisonous gas could not corrode this layer of skin, and the filtration system in its respiratory organs had increased to four layers.
At the same time, in order to make it easier to pursue the enemy, the muscles on its legs and hands had become more developed. Its agility had obviously improved. Corresponding to this feature, the number of bone spurs on the surface of the Messenger of Pain's body had also increased. They were also glowing with a dark green light, which obviously carried a strong poison. Obviously, if one had a huge advantage in speed, the best choice would be to kite the enemy to death with long-range attacks.
After confirming that this Vulture was the one Sheyan drove here, the Messenger of Pain bent its body and bared its teeth as it circled the Vulture twice. It then sniffed the place where Sheyan had been before. Then, it began to scream and roar crazily. It tore the abandoned Vulture into pieces with its claws and teeth! Brown blood spilled out in the process, but the Messenger of Pain did not hesitate to tear off its own teeth and break its own claws in the process!
This was the origin of the name of the Messenger of Pain. To make the enemy suffer, it would also make itself suffer. It would not let go of any opportunity to inflict pain. For it, pain was the driving force of life and the root of battle. It would either make the enemy suffer, or make itself suffer even more!
In the end, the Messenger of Pain smashed the energy box and let out a sharp cry. The sound was so penetrating that it seemed to pierce through the sky and fly into space.
At present, Sheyan had already traversed an entire 15 kilometres. Despite the incessant howling of the wind lingering in his ears, and this damned environment constantly nibbling away at his life force, he still maintained sufficient vigilance. Furthermore, his powerful perceptive sense was constantly reminding him that the danger had yet to recede.
After the Messenger of Pain let out a sharp, provocative roar, although it had reverberated through the mountains countless times and was stirred up by the shrill sound of the wind, it still vaguely reached Sheyan's ears. Sheyan frowned and could not help muttering to himself, "So fast!
That's not right! Something doesn't feel right. "
Sheyan was also a person with a keen sense of smell on the battlefield. After thinking carefully, he immediately realised what the problem was – the Messenger of Pain's style.
If a big shot like the Queen of Blades came to hunt him down, she would already regard it as a humiliation, so she would never make such a provocative roar. It was her style to silently kill him and escape. That was why she would do it.
"The Queen of Blades sent someone else to kill me? That's right, this is something I didn't expect. This woman isn't simple at all. She can always come up with countermeasures based on the blind spots in my thinking! And according to her personality, the person she sent would definitely have the confidence to kill me. Who was the person who came to kill me? A Zergling hero? A Hydralisk hero? A Mammoth hero? A Wyvern hero … No, these conventional units may be stronger than me, but there's no way the Queen of Blades would be able to kill me …. "
Sheyan suddenly saw the weapon he had plundered. It was the weapon that carried the Queen's memories – the unpopular C-10 Canister sniper rifle.
"That bitch was a Ghost Trooper who turned into a Zerg leader, and Snake is also a Ghost Trooper. Are they the ones chasing me …."
When he thought of this, Sheyan stopped. He was not a person who liked being chased and beaten up, especially when he was running for his life like a stray dog. He was already thinking about counterattacking. It was time to test his opponent's strength. If he had a few minutes to set up the battlefield, it would not be too difficult for him to escape even if he was no match for his opponent.
Sheyan watched as the Messenger of Pain ran towards him from a distance. Its long legs and arms, which were almost deformed, were like the poles of a pole vaulter. It did not take much effort for the Messenger of Pain to gain momentum in the air. Then, with a flash of light, a series of data appeared before Sheyan's eyes.
[Messenger of Pain: Infected Primate Ape subfamily (Must possess special psychic power to be able to be transformed)]
[Attribute: Ominous]
[Innate Ability: The predecessor of the Messenger of Pain was a powerful Ghost. His psychic power has been transformed into a powerful energy concentrator, so a surge of active energy floods his every cell. Any healing effect received by the Messenger of Pain will be amplified by 1000%, and his recovery speed will be increased by an additional 300%.]
[Ability: Bone Spear Sniping, details unknown.]
[Ability: Venomous Spike Piercing, details unknown.]
[Ability: Unknown.]
[Passive Ability: Boiling Pain – The Messenger of Pain can gain additional power from the pain of his enemies or himself. Regardless of whether the Messenger of Pain is hurt himself or someone else, his attack speed and movement speed will be increased to a certain extent.]
[Description: Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, was originally just a small Ghost. Her potential was valued by the Overlord and she was transformed into the monster she is today. There may be some elements of coincidence in this, but there is also no doubt that Kerrigan originally possessed the powerful psychic power of a Ghost. And now, Kerrigan has finally obtained another Ghost's "toy". Although her transformation process was crude and simple, it was a combination of her own strength and a little luck to create the current Messenger of Pain.]

"So that's how it is. No wonder the Queen of Blades was so confident. She didn't even care about the terrible situation in the Land of Death. So this is the thing she sent to hunt me down!" Sheyan murmured as he read the description.
At this moment, he also felt that the situation had become tricky. Sheyan's biggest advantage was his ability to consume energy. He could stall for time, but now he had to face a monster that seemed to be even more capable of stalling for time than he was. He suddenly felt a sense of anxiety.
This anxiety suddenly reached its peak when Sheyan counted down to the 37th second. That was because he saw the appearance of the Messenger of Pain chasing after him. He could not help but feel an illusion of fear in his heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
