Chapter 661: Spiritual Body
"What are you looking for?" It was too familiar. Zhuang Mingxu knew what Lu Weiyi was doing just by looking at his expression.
"...Do you have a crystal core?" Lu Weiyi hesitated and asked.
"Put it in Taotao's house."
Taotaowuli is actually a code word, referring to the tree house built by Taotao on the peach tree.
Ever since he and Zhuang Aiyi built a nest for people to live in, Taotao liked this way of living. He built many nests of different sizes by himself, and placed things he thought were important in them, one of which was filled with purified crystal cores.
Lu Weiyi nodded and looked around. He saw things similar to hammocks hanging on the naturally hanging trees. The place closest to the ground was Taotao and Zhuang Aiyi's room. The small quilt inside was bulging into a mini ball.
The naughty kid was folded in the quilt again.
Lu Weiyi thought about it, and quickly checked the other ones. He found the stored crystal cores in the nearest one and took them all out.
Guan Wei turned around and wanted to say hello to him, but when he saw the piles of high-level crystal cores placed in front of him, he was speechless. Especially since so many crystal cores were all absorbed by Lu Weiyi in the blink of an eye.
He swallowed and suddenly felt that there must be some reason why the base was desperately launching various advanced instruments but was stubbornly holding on to the prices - after all, they were raising a human-shaped money-eating beast.
Normally, the higher the level, the faster the absorption of crystal cores, but the upgrade takes hours anyway. When Zhuang Mingxu saw his absorption speed, he immediately became worried. He felt that he still didn't have enough crystal cores, but he really couldn't take out more at this time.
"Is that enough?" Zhuang Mingxu asked nervously.
Lu Weiyi said nothing.
In fact, it was not enough. All the mental energy he had consumed over such a long period of time had been his supernatural powers, which left his body so depleted that he couldn't even use any of his supernatural powers.
But Zhuang Mingxu didn’t directly mention the second place, which only proves that this is all.
He closed his eyes and tried his best to let all the absorbed crystal core energy circulate in his body. Then the energy rushed through his eyebrows uncontrollably, as if it had its own consciousness and began to rush around trying to leave his body.
Unprepared, Lu Weiyi spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Xiao Yi..." Zhuang Mingxu stared at him closely.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Guan Wei was paying attention to the mutated plants in front of him. He didn't dare to be distracted and could only keep asking Zhuang Mingxu. However, the other party was too busy to pay attention to him.
The resistance to the forced energy control became more and more severe. Lu Weiyi recalled the SSS-level Zhuang Mingxu in his memory and the only SSS-level psychic he had ever seen, Gu Sheng.
them……
Lu Weiyi suddenly opened his eyes, then closed them again. The energy gathered again at his brows. The place where the crystal core was stored before became empty because the crystal core was integrated into his body. But when this ball of energy re-entered, it instantly filled it up, as if it was supposed to exist here.
At the moment when the hole between his eyebrows was filled with energy, every cell in Lu Weiyi felt swollen as if it was filled with energy, urging him to expel this energy out of his body. This feeling was similar to the overflowing energy released during upgrading, but he had already upgraded before the duel with Gu Sheng.
He had finally absorbed this little bit of energy, and he was not sure if there would be any left after it was expelled. Just as he was hesitating to suppress it, cracks began to appear on his skin, and it looked like it would fall apart at any time. Zhuang Mingxu's face suddenly turned pale.
Lu Weiyi also felt that suppression was not a solution, so he had to follow his body's will and quickly empty out the energy that had just gathered in his body, which suddenly rushed out of his body through his eyebrows.
The tremendous energy suddenly blasted Zhuang Mingxu and Guan Wei, who were closest to them, out. When they were about to hit the wall, Guan Wei's supernatural power quickly took effect, avoiding the possibility of injury.
The gathered energy rushed straight to the top of his head like a naughty child released from a cage, and a big hole was forcefully opened in the cave ceiling. A creaking sound was heard in the distance. Lu Weiyi looked up and saw a large bird made of energy circling in the sky, howling towards the sky.
The mutated plants that were originally lurking nearby had already fled away to nowhere due to the energy impact.
"Base... Base Commander..." Guan Wei looked at the big hole that appeared above his head with a dazed expression.
Zhuang Mingxu ran to Lu Weiyi and asked him how he felt.
"...very good." Lu Weiyi's eyes were still looking upwards. He could feel that he had a subtle connection with the big bird. It was dependent on him, but had its own independent thoughts. It was mysterious and real.
He thought of Gu Sheng's snake tree and felt that it should be something unique to the SSS level.
Thinking of the thing that was vaguely guarded by his side in his previous life, Lu Weiyi glanced at Zhuang Mingxu cunningly. His mind moved slightly, and the big bird dived down. An inexplicable gust of wind blew by, and Zhuang Mingxu felt something passing under him, carrying him straight to the cave entrance and flying into the sky in an instant.
No matter how mature and steady he was, it would not work at all. Zhuang Mingxu frowned, as if he was facing a great enemy. He held the thing that was supporting him tightly with his hands and legs, and shouted, "What the hell!"
Seeing him like this for the first time, Lu Weiyi couldn't help but burst into laughter. The cunning look in his eyes made Zhuang Mingxu realize instantly that it must be him who was causing trouble. He looked at him helplessly and was quickly taken out of the cave.
"Base commander, what...what is that?" Guan Wei asked in amazement.
“A…child” who has just been “born” should indeed be considered a child.
Seeing that he did not seem to be in danger, Guan Wei anxiously said to Lu Weiyi, "Base Commander, now that you are awake, let's go and rescue him."
"That bastard Luo Qi killed one of us in ten minutes," he complained angrily.
"What's going on?" Lu Weiyi frowned, and now he realized that the place he was in didn't seem to be the same place as when he fell asleep.
His mental power unconsciously swept across the surroundings, and the first thing that caught his eye was a man and a woman hiding nearby, and next to them was a mutant plant of a fairly strong level.
"Let's go up first."
"Okay!" Guan Wei's voice was loud, in complete contrast to the embarrassment around him. With a wave of his hand, the ground under the feet of the two men immediately surged up and reached the ground in an instant.
Lu Weiyi raised his eyebrows, pulled Guan Wei and instantly appeared next to the two of them. His speed was too fast, and as soon as they stopped, Guan Wei turned around and started vomiting.
Hua Rui and Wang Bing retreated to defend themselves, but they didn't expect that the hand Lu Weiyi stretched out was not towards them, but he grabbed a bud of the mutant lavender.
"Xiaoxun!" Hua Rui's face turned pale, and she only had time to scream in surprise before Lu Weiyi had already pulled the flower bud off. The whole mutant plant fell limply to the ground, indistinguishable from an ordinary plant.
Lu Weiyi had already absorbed the plant crystal core he had just obtained, and he could even glance up and down at the two of them, "You killed my team members?"
Hua Ruimu stared blankly at the plants on the ground, then slowly clenched his hands, and the surrounding plants began to wriggle as if they were summoned.
"Base commander, be careful, she has S-level wood-type ability," Guan Wei reminded in time despite feeling dizzy.
"It's not us," Wang Bing said decisively. At the same time, he pressed down the excited pistil with both hands and whispered in her ear, "Think about your daughter."
The voice was not loud, but everyone present was a high-level psychic, so they could hear it clearly. Hua Rui seemed to have been forced to press the pause button. She gritted her teeth and trembled all over for a long time, then unloaded her supernatural powers.
"The man who killed your team members is over there," Wang Bing pointed in the direction of Luo Qi, "He schemed and murdered thousands of you."
Lu Weiyi's face darkened instantly, and at this moment, the big bird, which was about to dissipate due to lack of energy, also sent Zhuang Mingxu down.
Zhuang Mingxu, who had been forced to soar in the sky for a while, stood on the ground with weak legs and feet. He leaned on Lu Weiyi with one hand to avoid falling down in disgrace, but his always stylish hair had been blown into a 3:7 split, making him look like a fool from the 1980s.
Lu Weiyi turned around and was about to go in the direction Wang Bing pointed, but was stopped by Guan Wei who said impatiently, "They are also accomplices."
"Base commander, kill them. They ate the blood, flesh and crystal cores of our teammates. None of them are good." Guan Wei glared at the two men fiercely, like a wolf ready to rush up and bite the other two at any time.
Zhuang Mingxu was unsure of Lu Weiyi's current strength, so he just touched him suggestively, "How do you think we should deal with this?"
Lu Weiyi glanced at the two of them, said "Follow me", walked towards Luo Qi, and asked about what happened to Guan Wei.
It was impossible to tell everything that happened over the past few months immediately. Guan Wei picked out the key points at the moment and told Lu Weiyi about them. With tears in his eyes, he said, "The captain and Captain Wu both asked me to protect everyone. It was my fault."
"They have no bottom line." Zhuang Mingxu patted his shoulder and glanced at the two people behind him who were considering Lu Weiyi's strength, "Hand over your jade space."
"..." The topic changed so quickly that Lu Weiyi didn't react. Zhuang Mingxu moved closer to him, and Lu Weiyi immediately created a mental barrier between the two of them.
Zhuang Mingxu briefly told Taotao about the incident and said worriedly, "I haven't seen him since I got out..."
Lu Weiyi immediately thought of the small bulge in the tree house. He glanced at it and was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong?" It was true that Zhuang Mingxu put Lu Weiyi first, but that didn't mean he didn't care about other people, especially Taotao who always looked at him with trusting eyes when he was young.
"He... became a baby." Lu Weiyi didn't know how to describe it. Knowing the benefits of jade to Taotao, he didn't hesitate and turned to look at the two people behind him.
"Can you leave some of the supplies... for us?" Wang Bing said, and without waiting for anyone to answer, he immediately looked at Guan Wei, "Last time, Brother Zhao Lei was almost killed by the detonating crystal core, and I helped them."
"Besides, I haven't used the flesh and blood of people with special abilities for a long time, and I have never eaten your team members..."
Seeing that Guan Wei was gritting his teeth and unwillingly but did not refute, Lu Weiyi knew that what the other party said was true.
