Game Universe: Awakening and Enhancing Everything at the Start

Chapter 96 Treasure Hunter Andy

The Fiery Core Colossus was somewhat angry, but that was all; to it, it was just another little bug.

A lava arm rose up and slammed down towards Huang Hong's location.

With a deafening roar, a large section of the rift valley shattered, and the rubble fell into the lava river without creating many ripples.

The Flame Core Colossus retracted its arm; such a tiny insect was not worth its attention.

Suddenly, the Fiery Core Colossus sensed something was wrong. It looked at its arm and saw that the human who had provoked it earlier was still alive and standing perfectly on its arm, atop the rolling lava.

Huang Hong felt a sense of novelty when he first stepped on lava.

Even though his physique has reached 15 points, it is still far from being able to bathe in lava. However, under the protection of 'qi', he can easily avoid being burned by the lava.

Suppressing his boiling fighting spirit for the moment, Huang Hong made a disdainful gesture at the Flame Core Colossus, then turned and ran without hesitation.

Since waking up and being provoked time and time again, the Fiery Core Colossus's anger was immediately ignited. It chased after Huang Hong, frantically pounding the rift and throwing out rain of lava fire.

Huang Hong nimbly dodged the attacks of the Flame Core Colossus, narrowly avoiding them each time. It seemed thrilling, but it was more like a silent mockery, a taunt of the Flame Core Colossus's incompetence.

This made the Fiery Core Colossus even angrier.

And so, the two pursued each other, one chasing and the other fleeing, until they were further and further apart.

As their figures gradually disappeared, Andy slowly emerged from the shadows in a corner, toying with a dark red crystal in his hand.

"Wow, you two have gotten so close in such a short time? That's not like you, Treasure Hunter Andy!"

Two figures appeared behind Andy; the one who had just spoken was one of them.

Andy didn't respond. The other person among the two figures said, "Andy, you left a trick on that kid just now, didn't you? After using it, it should make the Flame Core Colossus hate that kid even more, which can buy us more time."

"What, are you not going to use it now?"

Andy put away the dark red crystal in his hand and smiled, "When you're traveling, it doesn't hurt to be a little more careful. After all, there are too few good people these days."

"However, if I'm lucky enough to meet a 'good person,' I also have my own principles. Hong is a good young man. Since he has already done what he promised me, I naturally won't cheat him."

"Let's go, stop talking nonsense, we only have five minutes!"

After saying that, Andy jumped into the lava river first. The two figures exchanged a glance and followed Andy into the lava river.

Generally speaking, anger has a time limit; no one can stay angry forever, and the Fiery Colossus is no exception.

After chasing Huang Hong for two or three minutes and realizing that none of its attacks could harm him, the Flame Core Colossus's anger gradually subsided, and it became alert.

Over the long years, there have been instances where people have been lured away from their strongholds, only to have their lair raided upon their return.

Thinking of this, the Fiery Core Colossus immediately stopped its attack and prepared to return to its lair.

Seeing this, Huang Hong no longer concealed himself. Golden flames rose around him, faintly forming the image of a giant tiger behind him.

"Roar!~"

The giant tiger roared and leaped into the air toward the fiery core colossus.

The Flame Core Colossus had made up its mind to leave and was about to dismiss Huang Hong without paying any more attention to his provocations.

But what happened next took the Flame Core Colossus by surprise.

The illusory giant tiger nimbly twisted and turned in the air, golden claw marks flashing as it tore three huge wounds into the arm of the Flame Core Colossus.

Although the wound on the Flame Core Colossus's arm healed quickly as the lava surged, it also began to take the strength of the humans before it seriously for the first time.

If such an attack only lands on it, it's just a tickle, but if it touches its core, it could really hurt or even kill it!

The change in mindset meant that the Flame Core Colossus was no longer as casual in dealing with Huang Hong as it had been at the beginning.

The lava in the lava river flowed upstream, quickly covering the Flame Core Colossus and transforming into a layer of lava armor. More lava gathered in the Flame Core Colossus's hand, forming a lava hammer.

This is the true battle form of the Fiery Core Colossus!

The Fiery Core Colossus wielded its lava hammer, which, spanning tens of meters, carried immense force. Each strike shattered the air, broke rifts, and created waves on the lava river.

Huang Hong didn't have much experience dealing with such a massive enemy, but having some knowledge of elemental life forms, he knew that normal attacks were basically useless against them, not to mention that the Flame Core Colossus had the home-field advantage.

To defeat, or even kill, the Flame Core Colossus, one must start with its core.

From the perspective of the enhanced universe, Huang Hong had a clear view of the location of the core of the Flame Core Colossus.

Unfortunately, although Huang Hong is quite strong now, most of his attacks only grazed the massive, hundred-meter-tall Flame Core Colossus, and the wounds healed as the lava flowed over its body.

Once the Flame Core Colossus was covered in lava armor, Huang Hong's attacks became even more difficult to break through its defenses.

At the same time, the Flame Core Colossus, now serious, launched even more rapid and intense attacks. Its massive lava sword nearly struck Huang Hong's body several times, and even when it grazed the golden tiger, it caused the golden aura on Huang Hong's body to dim slightly.

A few minutes later, Huang Hong sighed, realizing that with his current strength, he could at most engage in a brief struggle with the Flame Core Colossus. It was unlikely that he could defeat it, let alone kill it.

Having fulfilled his promise to Andy, Huang Hong stopped fighting and left.

He was like a giant tiger in the mountains, leaping and dodging across long distances with each bound, his speed several times greater than when he was fleeing.

Seeing that Huang Hong was about to escape again, the Flame Core Colossus initially wanted to give chase, but it quickly realized that Huang Hong was indeed bait, so it rushed back to its own lair in a more urgent manner.

Just as the Flame Core Colossus arrived at its lair, preparing to check for thieves and see if its treasured collection was missing.

Suddenly, dark chains appeared, binding its body and limbs, making it difficult to break free despite its furious roars.

Andy and two other figures appeared. He chuckled and said, "That kid Hong did a good job. We had more time than expected, and our arrangements are more complete now."

His gaze towards the Fiery Core Colossus burned with fervor. "After searching for so long, today the answer is finally about to be revealed! The final key fragment of the Fiery Hell Secret Realm is most likely on it!"
