Chapter 500: Snake Tree Energy Body

"Something hit my mental power." Lu Xi had a serious look on his face, but his words made the surrounding psychics speechless.

Although the mental power threads could not be seen, they often hit things, and they all thought that Lu Xi was making a big fuss out of nothing.

Considering his high rank and the fact that he was Lu Weiyi's younger brother, some people politely excused him, saying that he was probably nervous at night.

Xing Zhou, who was also taught by Lu Weiyi, didn't think so. He took a few steps forward and asked, "What's the feeling?"

"It seems like mental power...attacked..." Lu Xi could only feel that it was very strange, but he couldn't describe it specifically.

"The feeling of being attacked by an energy body." Lu Weiyi opened the tent and walked out, yawning, frowning and looking in one direction.

In the crowd, there is a snake tree that is more than ten meters tall. The tree body is several meters thick, like a creature from another dimension. Small snakes emerge from the emerald green branches, twisting their bodies and reaching out to the psychics around them, as if they are ready to take a bite at any time.

The psychics in the base seemed to be invisible. They stood next to the snake tree, and some even overlapped with the trunk of the snake tree, as if they were in different overlapping spaces.

The huge snake head was much smaller than the ones they had seen in the jungle before, but it was obviously more intelligent. It leaned towards Lu Weiyi, and its split mouth looked like a clown's smile, weird and creepy.

Ning Yuan and Li Zhuang, who had been busy all day, strode over and saw Lu Weiyi looking at them nonchalantly, then glanced to the side and said, "It's time to sleep. Everyone gather and set off overnight."

Ning Yuan looked at him in confusion, met Li Zhuang's eyes, and immediately stood on a side away from the snake tree, shouting loudly for everyone to assemble.

When everyone left the vicinity of the snake tree, the head of the snake tree hovered in front of Lu Weiyi. Lu Weiyi suddenly gathered all his supernatural powers and slammed into the snake head fiercely.

The reaction of the collision between the two energies instantly knocked people around to the ground. Dean, who was closest to the crowd, was even thrown out and was unable to get up for a long time after the impact.

Under the huge impact, the shape of the snake head became a little lighter, as if its energy was consumed.

Even though Li Zhuang and Ning Yuan couldn't see anything, they could feel the impact of different energies. "Bring an energy detector over."

"Yes," someone responded, holding one and handing it to the two of them.

Turning on the small monitor, in addition to the psychics standing in a group in front of him, Lu Weiyi saw an energy body in the shape of a tree branch. Compared to the others which were just a ball, the other one looked like an energy tree.

"What the hell is this?" Han Fei's eyes moved back and forth between the monitor and the open space in front of him. He couldn't see anything in his field of vision, but something appeared on the monitor. He felt like he had seen a ghost.

Ning Yuan and Li Zhuang ignored him and asked someone to bring the remaining monitors over. When the energy ball started moving, they used their supernatural powers to attack.

But compared to Lu Weiyi who could hit the target every time he attacked, their supernatural powers directly passed through the energy ball and missed.

"Psychics, prepare to provide support," Ning Yuan shouted and gave one of the energy displays to Lu Xi.

Several psychics from the military department immediately stood not far from Lu Weiyi, and Li Zhuang handed it to another high-level psychic, Eric. A team of more than a dozen psychics in the team below also got a monitor and could clearly see the invisible things in front of them.

Perhaps it was Lu Weiyi's constant energy collisions that gave them confidence. In addition, there were already a large number of psychics who came this time. Rows of psychics stood in the front, blocking the other psychics behind them.

This was the first time that the psychic ability, which had always been used as an auxiliary ability, played a major role. Everyone was clearly filled with passion to avenge their previous humiliation, but once they made a move...

It's useless.

The only ones who could play a role were the few psychics standing next to Lu Weiyi and Eric. The former were all psychics of the base army, and their psychic abilities had all been guided by Lu Weiyi.

The latter are people who have fought their way out of a pile of dead bodies using their superpowers, and their control over superpowers varies.

"Use weapons." Lu Weiyi's brows were stern, and his supernatural powers seemed to be endless. He relied on the simplest brute force to crash into the energy body again and again.

He threw the rocket launcher he was carrying in the space towards Ning Yuan and his companions not far away. Ning Yuan quickly distributed it to the people around him and quickly shot at the energy ball on the monitor.

The distance was not far, and the heat waves generated by the shooting burned the people nearby and created a big hole in the ground, but the energy body did not change at all.

It seems that only psychics can have an impact on it.

After discovering this, Lu Weiyi could only increase the output of his mental power. The huge mental power was like a giant net that wrapped the entire snake tree. Countless compressed mental energy balls attacked the trunk of the snake tree, and exploded like bombs the moment they got close.

There were constant banging sounds, but there was nothing in sight. All they could feel was an invisible sense of oppression, impacting those who were weak in psychic abilities.

Just as Lu Weiyi was concentrating his mental strength to prepare for a fatal blow, the huge energy body in front of him seemed to be broken into tiny energy particles and disappeared without a trace.

"Gone?" Lu Xi looked in the direction of the monitor. The surroundings were empty, as if nothing had happened.

It disappeared without a trace just as it appeared, leaving everyone even more confused.

Lu Weiyi absorbed the crystal core to replenish his energy and looked in the direction of the mutated plants.

"What is that?" Eric came over first and asked.

"A kind of..." Lu Weiyi's mind was a little confused, "energy body".

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the tent without waiting for anyone to ask any more questions.

Most of the ice in the tent has melted, but the temperature is still just right.

Lu Weiyi leaned against the head of the bed, most of the energy in his body was consumed, but he did not absorb the crystal core in his hand immediately.

He could feel that if this happened a few more times, he might face an upgrade directly. He was already unsure about this, and after seeing the energy body, he became even more worried.

He had seen that kind of energy body in his previous life. Different from the one just now, the one that appeared in front of him was a huge lion covered in black. It attacked Lu Weiyi for the first time.

At that time, Lu Weiyi's mental power had just entered the SS level and could not be controlled very well. When he sensed something entering the bedroom, he immediately used his mental power to fight back, which angered the lion. The invisible lion appeared in front of him as a vague outline and launched an attack on him.

An energy attack that can be converted into any superpower. When surrounded by metal flying knives, Lu Weiyi's superpowers went out of control in a hurry and an energy conflict occurred with the lion.

The huge amount of energy immediately destroyed the villa they were living in at the time. Lu Weiyi was dug out from the ruins and remained unconscious for several days. After that, Zhuang Mingxu tried to bring him up several times, but was stopped by the displeasure in Lu Weiyi's eyes.

In the blurred memory, there seemed to be Zhuang Mingxu sighing and mumbling to himself, "Didn't I like big lions when I was a child? Why don't I like them anymore when I grow up?"

Lu Weiyi couldn't remember whether it was his fantasy or it really happened, but he never saw the lion again after that.

But occasionally in the middle of the night when Zhuang Mingxu was not around, he could always feel that something was guarding him. It was a kind of energy body that was unusually familiar to him. It did not arouse his defenses, and disappeared without a trace when his mental power swept over it.

As the first SSS-level psychic to successfully upgrade, Zhuang Mingxu had never mentioned anything about the upgrade to outsiders. He just said half-sighingly that it was a very magical state, completely different from the previous level, but he never told Lu Weiyi anything in detail.

"Captain, what was that just now?" Ning Yuan and Li Zhuang came in with a few members of Team One and asked directly.

"It is an energy body, which should be composed of the superpowers of the superpowers," Lu Weiyi explained based on his own knowledge.

"Since it was built by a person with superpowers, why can't we attack it or even see it?" Li Zhuang asked incisively. It was indeed dangerous to have something that could not be seen or touched.

Lu Weiyi shook his head and told them another bad news, "I suspect that the psychic here is really SSS level."

"That energy body was sent out by him to investigate the situation." Otherwise, it would not just wander around the temporary base without attacking.

"Then..." Even though they were well prepared, they didn't expect to lose so badly in the first encounter. For a moment, everyone was a little unsure about what would happen tomorrow.

"How's the surrounding exploration going?"

"We have sent out a helicopter to search for other people, but have not received any feedback. According to our previous plan, fire-type mutants have burned the mountain, and most of the surrounding plants have been cleared. We expect to achieve the desired effect before dawn."

"Did the three wolves find any signs of human activity?"

"Yes, it is just as you said, in the direction of the mutant plant. We only found some footprints, and it has been a long time, but we haven't seen any living people."

After listening to this, Lu Weiyi turned his gaze to Li Zhuang.

"The earth-type mutants filled up all the underground caves and advanced towards the area where the mutant plants lived in a surrounding manner."

Lu Weiyi nodded, took the standard map that Ning Yuan had redrawn, and circled an area on it with a pen. "Tomorrow, use fighter jets to carry out indiscriminate bombing in this area, and advance along the periphery towards the center. Tell the pilots to be more than a thousand meters away from here."

"Psychics are always ready to build a mental barrier to prevent high-level psychics from attacking enemy fighters."

"After the bombing is completed, all high-level psychics are ready to fight again. That mutant plant..."

Lu Weiyi glanced in Taotao's direction inadvertently. He didn't want Taotao to take action at first. His energy was already insufficient. If he over-consumed it, who knew what would happen.

But now there are uncertainties. To rely on these people who came together to deal with an SSS-level mutant and an SS-level mutant plant is tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
