Chapter 18 Phoenix Umbrella
In fact, Rong Xianxian was not sure whether she could support the child.
"Let's give it a try."
Three days of strong winds and heavy rain broke many branches and leaves, some tall, some isolated, and some withered, but the scenery did not become listless. On the contrary, the trees seemed to grow even more luxuriant, verdant and green, as if they contained great vitality.
You can't see much difference when looking down from a high floor, but people living on the third floor can feel it most obviously. Originally, even the tall treetops around the house could only reach the lower edge of the third floor windows, but now the third floor has been completely covered by overwhelming branches and leaves, making it impossible for light to enter.
There was a knock on the door. I opened the door and saw it was Liao Yong.
"Ren Tian asked if we could have a chat." Liao Yong explained his purpose.
Wang Lin glanced at Rong Xianxian, and Rong Xianxian nodded at him. She probably heard the previous commotion here and wanted to see what they were saying.
"Captain Lin, judging from the previous noise, you must have gained something, right?" Wang Qirui asked casually.
"Well, we are lucky today." Wang Lin couldn't help but grin when he thought of the machete.
"Can you show us the spoils?" Ren Tian couldn't help but ask.
"No problem. Let me bring my machete over here. But we agreed that this is a trophy shared by Captain Cui, Sister Rong, and me. I can only show it to you. Don't have any ideas about it." Wang Lin held the machete, which was shining with a cold light, over with a proud mentality.
A group of young and passionate guys, many of whom are veterans, have a special love for weapons. This murderous cold weapon looks more visually impactful than guns and ammunition. Moreover, the control of firearms in China is very strict, so the passionate young people can only indulge in games on weekdays.
Wang Qirui's emotions were the most direct. He stared at the big knife with his eyes almost red. In the current survival crisis, a weapon is simply life.
"When you go to fight monsters again, take me with you." Wang Qirui shouted impatiently.
"Let's go fight the monsters, and Sister Rong will provide us with weapons to use." Seeing the real spoils of war, Ren Tian could no longer suppress his desire.
"Weapons are not provided for free. Sister Rong will take up a place in the distribution of spoils." Wang Lin emphasized again.
"I know, I know. Didn't we agree on this before?" Wang Qirui is an impatient person.
"Then let's start tomorrow. We'll do it in the morning and you'll do it in the afternoon, and we'll switch sides another day. We can't fight together because we don't have enough weapons." After reaching a consensus, Wang Lin captured Liao Yong and Wang Qirui to do hard labor. There was no other way, as dissection was also a physical job, so he gave them the pretext of letting them practice their skills.
When the three of them arrived at the utility room, Rong Xianxian was busy working in isolation clothing, a mask, goggles and gloves. After confirming that the two bird monsters did not have inner elixirs, she packed up a few special items, such as the black feather, and gave the utility room to them.
Tell them to separate the meat, bones and feathers and put them separately. The damaged meat may affect the taste a little, but overall, it shouldn't be too different. Let them do whatever they want.
Rong Xianxian must hurry up and practice the art of making runes, and try to memorize those complicated runes. It doesn't matter if she can't make them now, just write down the appearance of the runes first. After all, this book belongs to someone else, and the temporary cooperation is not stable, and they might go their separate ways one day.
I have to find some time to go to the basement tomorrow (the basement is on the underground first floor). The power outage has been going on for almost three days, and the frozen food in the basement freezer is almost thawed. If left there any longer, it will go bad. Fortunately, the basement is opposite the stairs, so it should be no problem for three people to go down.
The lack of an elevator was a hassle. I had to carry my stuff up to the 17th floor and watch out for monsters. Vacuum-sealed rice, pickled vegetables in jars, eight-treasure porridge, vacuum-packed compressed biscuits, three boxes of beer, two dozen sodas, two large cartons of toilet paper, a box of menstrual products I had stockpiled some time ago, and two large bags of dehydrated vegetables were all packed into the sachet.
The frozen food in the freezer cannot be put into the sachet and taken up, after all, this is the purpose of this trip. However, half of the frozen food that can fill two large bags was secretly placed in the sachet. If you only carry one bag, you can carry it with one hand. As for whether the quantity will be right when you eat it, no one should notice it for several grown men.
The trip was relatively smooth, except when they were going up the stairs at the corner of the underground first floor, a monster that looked like a leopard stared at them for a while, and perhaps felt that they were not easy to deal with, so it turned around and ran away.
In the next few days, Cui Lie's team fought five games, winning four and losing one. They killed three monsters and got three weapons, and one was injured and ran away. The game Cui Lie's team lost was because the bait attracted a group of small flying monsters. Although the trap trapped many of them, there were too many of them. They retreated as soon as they came into contact with them. In the end, they only got a pile of meat, and no treasures were dropped.
As for the team of Ren Tian and Ren Cheng, they only won one game with the cooperation of Ren Tian and Wang Qirui, and obtained an umbrella-shaped weapon. Ren Cheng only held them back. No matter what task he was assigned or what position he was placed in, he only knew one thing: running. He would either run back into the shelter or run behind someone else. Finally, at the strong request of Wang Qirui, Ren Cheng was kicked out.
The umbrella-shaped weapon was small and light, and as beautiful as a work of art sold in an art shop. It had a circle of golden tassels under the edge of the umbrella, and a colorful phoenix was carved on the handle. Rong Xianxian used the Light Body Art and the Soul Summoning Art obtained by Wang Lin, plus two weapons, to exchange for this small umbrella from Ren Tian and Wang Qirui.
This umbrella is a weapon that can be used for both defense and offense. The umbrella looks thin and light like a gauze. I don't know what material it is made of, but it is extremely strong. The eyes of the phoenix are two gems, one blue and one red. When the umbrella is open, the phoenix lowers its head and closes its eyes, and the golden tassels hang straight down, in a defensive state. When the umbrella is closed, the phoenix raises its head and stares, and the gems on both sides bulge. Press the ruby, and the umbrella body will turn into a spear more than three meters long, with a sharp tip and a blood groove on the back. Press the sapphire, the spear retracts, the umbrella ribs pop open, and it immediately turns into a defensive state.
In order to get this umbrella, Rong Xianxian not only gave out the Light Body Art and the Soul Attracting Art, but also exchanged two maces. Although the main force in killing monsters were Ren Tian and Wang Qirui, there were five people fighting. So far, the Light Body Art and the Soul Attracting Art were practiced by everyone together.
However, at this time, Rong Xianxian did not know that Ren Tian was not willing to do this exchange. He was forced by the situation and did not say anything, but kept the matter in his heart.
Rong Xianxian named this umbrella Phoenix Umbrella.
This umbrella and the bow that dropped from the golden-winged bird before are both rare items. They are not ordinary weapons, but spiritual weapons that can be used for sacrifice and training.
It was not known whether it was because of Xuanxuan's outstanding talent or the motivation of chasing birds, but she was able to draw the spirit into her body in just a few days. After knowing that Xuanxuan had successfully drawn the spirit, Rong Xianxian could not help but take a drop of Xuanxuan's blood and drop it on the phoenix on the umbrella handle. The blood was instantly absorbed, and the ruby and sapphire flashed. She tried to open the umbrella again, but it was no longer possible.
After teaching Xuanxuan the basic usage of the Phoenix Umbrella, she could fold and unfold the Phoenix Umbrella freely, and the transition between offense and defense was smoother and more natural. Perhaps because the spiritual weapon recognized its master, Xuanxuan was able to use it with ease, and the situation that Rong Xianxian was worried about accidentally hurting herself and others did not occur.
