Chapter 131 After the Fact

When he came back to his senses, Feng Bujue's body was already surrounded by black Battle Qi, and the extreme pain from before had disappeared.

"If it's more than forty kilometers in three minutes..." As Feng Bujue calculated in his mind, he had already shot out.

Whoosh—

Under the cover of the demonic Battle Qi, he was like a black fireball, skimming rapidly across the ground.

"Hmm?" The first one he overtook was Serra Jon. This Horse-Head Bro hadn't even seen what passed him. It wasn't until five seconds after Jue-ge passed that he belatedly muttered, "Was that...Poker Man?"

Shoo—

The second one overtaken by the "black fireball" was the Banana Fiend.

After hearing a gust of wind, this ape reacted immediately... his line of sight barely kept up with Jue-ge's figure for two seconds.

During those two seconds, although his helmet's motion capture system failed to analyze the other party's "energy nature," "power output principle," or "action mode," it did measure the "speed"—approximately one thousand houers per hour.

"Oh, not bad." Cold sweat had already appeared on the Banana Fiend's forehead. "Although my armor's maximum speed can reach 1,300 houers per hour (a bit faster than Mach 1), flying at that speed would quickly deplete my energy (the Tin Foil Hero's armor is even faster and has perpetual motion energy)..." he thought to himself, "but Poker Man seems to be moving with his own power..."

Swoosh—

Two seconds later, Feng Bujue zipped past the Green Meteor.

"Whoa..." the Green Meteor exclaimed in his heart, "Is this the strength of a galaxy-level being..."

And the last one Jue-ge overtook... naturally, it was Flea Man.

As Feng Bujue passed him, he even shouted, "Sorry! I'll go first...blegh—"

Because he was running so fast, that was all he could say... and that was only because he was relatively close to Flea Man and in a relatively static state.

...

Three minutes later, at the border between the "Shady Heights" and the Sakai region.

"Haa... haa..." Feng Bujue specially found a deserted place, lying there sprawled out on his back, panting heavily.

During the three minutes of [Demon Battle Descent], his Survival Value was regarded as 300%, his Stamina and Spirit Values were infinite, and his physical abilities were also enhanced several times over... therefore, he was able to travel desperately at that astonishing speed just now.

However, once the three-minute time limit was up, he would face a state of 1% Survival Value, 0 Stamina Value, and 0 Spirit Value, and he would be immune to healing skills and all buff-type consumables for the next five minutes.

In simple terms... no matter what, he would have to lie flat for a few minutes under the mental shock of having both his Stamina and Spirit Values empty.

Honestly, this was very dangerous. If a hostile creature passed by at this time... even a scorpion could kill Jue-ge, who had only 1% health.

But... he had to do it.

If he were to run that "forty houers" with his regular abilities, there would be only two scenarios: first, he would run with those four planet-level guys and then run out of stamina halfway—failure; second, he would run at a steady pace according to his own rhythm, and by the time he reached his destination... the daylilies would be cold.

In order to maintain his "galaxy-level hero" status, Jue-ge could only choose the current plan.

"Haa... haa... it's okay..." Feng Bujue lay in a "大" shape, basking in the orange sunlight, and murmured, "According to my visual estimation... these guys' speed is about three hundred kilometers per hour, so it will take them about eight minutes to reach this location; subtracting the three minutes that have already passed, I can still rest for five minutes, and by then... the stamina recovered through natural recovery will at least allow me to stand up and walk, and I can also drink the Survival Value supplement."

His calculations were correct. According to Flea Man and the others' original speed, it would indeed take eight minutes to reach this place; however... because they were stimulated by him, those few became a little more serious and arrived in the seventh minute.

When the four ran to Jue-ge's side, the latter deliberately struck a very enchanting pose—hands behind his head, legs crossed, lying gracefully on the ground.

"Yo~ Hello, everyone." Feng Bujue's Stamina Value was barely in the triple digits at this time, but his acting skills could not be measured by numbers. "Because I accidentally ran too fast, I took a sunbath here and waited for you guys."

"This guy..." At this moment, Flea Man was unhappy. He looked down at Jue-ge and said unpleasantly, "Are you using your actions to express your dissatisfaction with me?"

As he spoke, the "blue carapace" on Flea Man's body was peeling off at a speed visible to the naked eye and quickly turning into dust, scattering with the wind.

Seeing this scene, Feng Bujue breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "He's shedding his carapace, which means he won't 'run' again in a short time."

"Ah... no, no, just kidding." Two seconds later, Jue-ge smiled awkwardly and sat up. "Actually, it's like this..." His lies came as soon as he opened his mouth, "That move of mine just now... has a flaw. Once you use this move to run, you have to run the whole way in one breath; if you stop or slow down halfway, you won't be able to use it for a short time."

"Oh..." Flea Man believed Jue-ge's words without thinking. "I see... you should have said so earlier."

"I just found a chance to say it." Feng Bujue shrugged and smiled, then stood up and casually patted the dust off his clothes.

"Hehe... actually, I had already noticed some signs just now." The Banana Fiend used his wise voice and smiled, "I could tell at a glance that the black energy on your body is not a regular ability that can be used casually."

In a sense, the Banana Fiend's speculation was quite reliable. Of course... in the end, three-tenths of Feng Bujue's statement was true.

"Yes, yes." Feng Bujue followed his lead and responded with a smile, "Please don't take offense, everyone."

"In short... now that everyone has arrived." The next second, Flea Man pragmatically brought the topic back to business. "Then let's start the next step..." He pointed to the direction of Shady Heights. "Ahead is the range of Shady Heights. After entering that area, we must slow down and proceed with caution..." His tone faintly revealed a hint of coldness. "Don't think that the main battlefield of the Bratty Child Starman and the Square Dance Starman is still far away, so you can relax your vigilance... You must know that those aliens who stay in the surrounding areas of the Heights and lurk in the dark may be even more dangerous than the two major Starman in the battlefield... Especially the Beggar Starman, I have already talked about their reconnaissance capabilities, and their territorial awareness is second only to the Square Dance Starman... Anyone who sets foot on the territory they recognize, the consequences..."

Chi—

As he spoke, it was too late!

Just as Flea Man was speaking, the sound of wind breaking suddenly rose!

But seeing a black shadow flying towards him.
