Chapter 313: Mutated Wolves
Zhuang Cheng, the third son of the Zhuang family, was discussing with his son Zhuang Mingbo and several psychics about collecting as much supplies as possible on the way. The youngest son Zhuang Mingze had an impatient look on his face and was about to lose his temper at any time, but was suppressed by his brother's light glance. Several other brothers and sisters of the same generation also followed him, and regardless of whether they could understand or not, they all behaved well.
Compared with the disunited first branch's family, the second branch has indeed begun to gain stability.
Lu Weiyi thought back to his previous life, and it seemed to be the same. The first house relied on Zhuang Mingxu alone to keep it in check. Although the second house worked under him, apart from Zhuang Mingxu, they were still independent.
Lu Weiyi no longer paid attention to them and continued to radiate his mental power into the distance.
The weather in mid-October should be clear and cool, but now it is hotter than midsummer, with the temperature at noon reaching over 40 degrees Celsius. Based on last year's situation, the temperature will probably continue to rise.
Even though it was already seven o'clock in the evening and the sun had set, the remaining heat still made me sweat.
Lu Weiyi's mental power circled around a few kilometers, then he stood up and said to the two children whose faces were flushed, "Come on, I'll take you to pick some fruit."
"Hey" Zhuang Aiyi's eyes lit up, and he pulled Taotao to follow Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi leaned over, picked up the smaller one, held the larger one in one hand, and walked in a direction no one had ever been.
The original cement road has been covered by dense grass, and the scattered uneven stone ground makes it bumpy to walk on.
Zhuang Aiyi carefully followed in Lu Weiyi's footsteps. The three of them walked for hundreds of meters. The surrounding area was completely covered with weeds. They could only hear the sound of people talking not far away, but could not see any human figures.
"Little dad, where are we going?" Zhuang Aiyi was a little scared.
"There" Lu Weiyi pointed to a tree on the right, on which hung bright-orange fruits that looked particularly delicious.
"Brother, what is that?" Taotao was held in arms, so she had a higher vision and saw the fruit hanging on it at a glance, so she asked Zhuang Aiyi.
Zhuang Aiyi jumped twice while holding Lu Weiyi's hand, but still didn't see it. Lu Weiyi pulled him forward a little further, and then he could see it clearly.
"Yes... yes..." Zhuang Aiyi smacked his lips, unable to say anything for a long time, and asked for help, "Little daddy, what is this called? Aiyi forgot."
"Star Peach" Lu Weiyi said.
"Yes, carambola, it's delicious," Zhuang Aiyi said to Taotao, "Brother picked it for you to eat."
His eyes were moving around, thinking about how to climb up, and he saw Taotao reaching out to the carambola tree. The dense green branches stretched out not far away, and she pulled a few carambolas back and held them in his arms.
"My brother is so awesome." Zhuang Aiyi was not afraid at all. Seeing such a terrifying scene, he did not think anything of it. Instead, he applauded and praised him.
Taotao immediately buried her head shyly in Lu Weiyi's shoulder.
The child couldn't control the strength, and the star fruit was left with marks as if it had been strangled by hair, and juice was flowing everywhere.
"Brother, eat it." Taotao leaned over and gave one to Zhuang Aiyi, then gave the rest to Lu Weiyi in a flattering manner, "Father, eat it."
"Can you put this tree into your space? Then you and your brother can always eat it in the future," Lu Weiyi said in a gentle tone.
Taotao tilted her head and thought for a while, "Taotao wants to go over and give it a try."
Lu Weiyi carried him forward and placed him under the carambola tree. Taotao placed his small hands on the trunk of the carambola tree with an expressionless face for a long while. Then the carambola tree began to move as if it had life.
Lu Weiyi hugged Zhuang Aiyi, who was confused, and wrapped the little green branch around Taotao's waist, looking at the situation in front of him vigilantly.
The ground was surging, the branches were shaking, and soon a tangled root system emerged from the ground and disappeared before Taotao's eyes when she touched it.
Looking again, it has grown next to the peach tree in space.
Taotao turned her head to look at Lu Weiyi with her pair of bright black eyes, almost asking for praise.
"So awesome." Lu Weiyi leaned over and kissed Taotao on the forehead.
Taotao immediately covered her face tightly with her little hands and laughed.
"There is a peach tree over there. Do you still want to try it?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"I want to," Taotao said simply.
Lu Weiyi led the two people forward and asked, "How did you get the carambola tree to leave?"
“I told it to grow somewhere else.”
"It agreed?"
"No," Taotao replied, "I said I would tear it up and it would go away."
"..."Lu Weiyi.
"Can you leave my body with the protective jade pendant? For example..." Lu Weiyi saw Zhuang Aiyi looking around curiously, "Follow Aiyi in the future?"
"Now that my father has died, Taotao will find another father." Taotao said these horrible words in her innocent voice.
Taotao is always there, but her father is always changing...
Lu Weiyi thought about it seriously and asked, "Will the things inside be damaged?"
"No, Taotao will keep it well," Taotao said proudly.
This made Lu Weiyi instantly doubt, could it be that his previous masters were all paupers?
There was nothing left except a thatched hut.
However, after knowing the news he wanted to know, he felt much more relieved.
He took the two children and moved several surrounding fruit trees into the space. As it was getting late, he was preparing to take the two children back.
Lu Weiyi sensitively sensed that something seemed to be approaching.
He quickly used his mental power to scan the area around the yard hundreds of meters away, and found a group of wolves that had appeared out of nowhere.
The leading wolf was covered in snow-white fur, with its head held high to a height of more than three meters, and it was leaping towards the yard with a light gait.
A dozen or so giant wolves of slightly smaller size were approaching quietly in a surrounding posture.
Lu Weiyi was about to give a reminder, but the moment he took out the walkie-talkie, he put it back in his hand.
He took a deep breath and led the two children towards the yard.
In the yard, Zhuang Mingxu was making cold noodles. The cucumber had been shredded and the seasoning was ready. He was using a noodle press to squeeze the noodles into the pot.
From time to time, he looked in the direction where Lu Weiyi left, and then stared at his watch to estimate the time. He took out the walkie-talkie and placed it on the recliner beside him, for fear of missing any news.
The three people who went out hunting had not returned yet. Liu Rui, Xu Sa and Xu Yi were cleaning up the house where they would stay for the night. Xu Yi, who had never done any work, choked and coughed, which made Xu Sa laugh in return. Seeing his angry face, Xu Sa hurriedly stepped forward and said some nice things to him like a good brother.
The other people were either helping with cooking or cleaning the yard and didn't notice anything at all. In the yard next door, everyone was still arguing over trivial matters and didn't seem to be alert at all.
A circle of giant wolves had completely surrounded the yard. Just as Lu Weiyi sighed and prepared to take action, a voice amplified countless times by a loudspeaker came from farther away on the opposite side.
"There are twelve giant wolves surrounding the yard. Be alert."
It was Lu Xi who went out with Li Zhuang to inspect the environment.
As the voice fell, Li Zhuang took the lead. After a whirlwind, a huge hand made of stones and soil appeared in the sky and attacked the white giant wolf.
The giant wolf howled towards the sky, and a huge fireball flew directly towards the big hand.
The big hand collided with the fireball, and sparks and sand scattered everywhere.
The giant white wolf shook its body, and the dirt on its body fell all over the ground, and its fur returned to its snow-white color again.
With his long howl just now, everyone in the yard was alarmed, and the wolves that had been hiding nearby also began hunting.
"Dean and Xu Yi, please enter the room and provide support at any time. The rest of you can form your own teams."
The moment Zhuang Mingxu heard Lu Xi's voice, he quickly put the things into the space, and while giving the order, he took out a modified crystal core gun in his hand.
Previously, because it was impossible to find metal with a higher melting point, the temperature of the barrel of the crystal core gun would become too high after firing a few times, causing the barrel to deviate in angle, and continued use would cause accuracy problems.
This is a new type of crystal core gun that Antonio and Lu Xi worked together to create after he upgraded and gained more proficiency in metal-related abilities.
It was inconvenient at the Kyoto base before, and I never had the opportunity to experiment. Now I can actually try it out and see the effects.
Zhuang Mingxu quickly put in the crystal core and shot at the exposed head of the giant wolf. A yellow fireball shot out from the barrel and exploded instantly when it touched the wolf's head. The flames immediately enveloped the entire wolf's head.
The giant wolf roared and rolled on the ground trying to put out the fire, but it ended up only setting the surrounding weeds on fire, causing the hair all over its body to begin burning.
This was a good start. The psychics in the team took action immediately. Gu Qingyue's water system and Xu Sa's lightning system, one was responsible for pouring water and the other was responsible for conducting lightning. Once they struck, the giant wolf covered by the water would twitch and pause for a few seconds.
This provided a little opportunity for several B-level psychics in the team, and their psychic weapons took advantage of this tiny gap and landed perfectly on the giant wolf.
What surprised Lu Weiyi the most was Liu Rui. He neither used the fireball nor controlled his habitual fire dragon. Instead, he ran towards a giant wolf. While the giant wolf opened its big mouth and bit him, flames more than three meters high were burning around Liu Rui.
The whole person was like a huge fire man. His two flaming hands directly grabbed the neck of a giant wolf and pulled it hard. A stream of blood spurted out. The wolf's head appeared in his flaming hands, and the body trembled and fell down. He turned and ran towards another one.
While several people were fighting in perfect coordination, Antonio, Ning Yuan and three others who were not far away also heard the noise. It was the supernatural power that got there first before the people arrived.
Under Gu Qingji's command, the ivy spread all over the ground and bound a giant wolf. At the same time, something like a net woven from vines wrapped around the giant wolf's nose.
Then Gu Qingji activated his supernatural power in a rage. The giant wolf howled, and a plant of unknown species pierced the wolf's head directly. Green leaves grew from its ears, eyes, mouth and nose, swaying in the wind. The giant wolf fell to the ground crookedly, without a sound.
On the other side, Antonio was helping Li Zhuang fight with the white wolf leader. Li Zhuang used his earth-based ability for long-range attack, while Antonio directly transformed all his body into metal, and his hands turned directly into machetes, fighting with the wolf leader at close range.
