Chapter 724 Fisherman
There was no need for Zhuang Mingxu to say more, Lu Weiyi had already seen it. As the Phoenix made another rampant cackle, a huge mutant snake suddenly attacked into the air. Its body was several meters thick and its scales looked green. From a distance, it looked like long hair, but from a closer distance, it could be seen that it was tiny growing moss.
It hovers motionless in the mountains, and there is no way to distinguish it from the mountain. If it does not attack actively, you may not even notice its existence if you pass by it.
"The energy detector cannot show its strength, so its level is uncertain," Zhuang Mingxu stared at a huge ball of light on the energy detector. "This is the first generation of detector. My uncle said it is a newly developed product. There are limited high-level creatures around, and there are no reference values, so there is no level set above that. However..."
Zhuang Mingxu looked at Lu Weiyi and said, "Higher level than yours."
Even though there are differences in the values measured between mutant animals and people with special abilities, this is enough to show that this mutant snake is of a higher level than Lu Weiyi.
The moment the snake head attacked them, the Phoenix suddenly turned in another direction and rushed higher. The mutant giant snake turned its core and attacked the two people - although it was called two people, it was actually obviously heading towards Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi was not hesitant either. He quickly used energy to condense countless flying swords and attacked the snake core. Zhuang Mingxu saw countless palm-sized rays of light appear on the energy detector and shot towards the snake core with a targeted target.
Zhuang Mingxu was stunned by this scene. He had used energy detectors to detect many supernatural powers before. However, apart from being able to detect crystal nuclei in animals, even the supernatural powers he used could not be displayed on the instrument. This was the first time he saw an attack clearly materialized.
The snake's core hissed as it was attacked, and its body fell back to the ground due to gravity with a loud bang, shaking the entire mountain, alarming countless animals to flee and birds to spread their wings.
"Phoenix, let's go." Lu Weiyi patted Phoenix's body without any intention of staying.
The giant mutant snakes on the ground were still staring at them hungrily, and were rushing towards them. Lu Weiyi would occasionally look down, and the mutant snakes below would become extremely excited, and would occasionally stick their heads out or flick their tails in an attempt to attack them.
Lu Weiyi patted Phoenix's body from time to time, making a giggling sound, which made Zhuang Mingxu look puzzled.
"I'm talking to it," Lu Weiyi laughed.
"What?" Zhuang Mingxu had a bad feeling.
"Come on - I'll eat you...haha..." Lu Weiyi met Zhuang Mingxu's speechless eyes and smiled even more happily.
The high-altitude wind in early spring was chilly and Lu Weiyi's clear laughter echoed around him, making him feel happy and cheerful. If it weren't for the giant snake chasing him on the ground, Zhuang Mingxu would definitely feel it was more romantic.
However, looking at the giant snake that had chased them for two hills, Zhuang Mingxu felt extremely angry.
"Lu Xiaoyi, do you want to be a widower?" Zhuang Mingxu was full of resentment.
He would never have said this before. The first time Lu Weiyi heard it, he laughed so hard that he couldn't utter a word.
"When you said I should train myself, do you mean train with it?" Zhuang Mingxu pointed at the giant snake below that was poking its head out from time to time to take a bite in the air. The phoenix's cackling was full of arrogance, and it would turn at tricky angles from time to time, making Zhuang Mingxu feel that he could fall down at any time if he wasn't careful.
"Of course not." Lu Weiyi laughed enough and pointed to the distance. "I feel there is a powerful mutant animal over there. Maybe it is the peacock you mentioned. I will lure it over and let them fight. No matter who loses, we can all get the advantage."
"..."Zhuang Mingxu had a blank expression on his face, "So smart."
"I'll just think of it as you praising me." Lu Weiyi's eyes were sparkling and he looked so excited that Zhuang Mingxu couldn't say anything to stop him.
If he could grow up freely under the care of his mother and grandfather, he would probably look like he is now. How could he bear to affect the brilliant flower that has finally bloomed with great difficulty?
After calculating the remaining crystal cores of the mutant rats and the mutant rat king's head that had been shrunk several times, Zhuang Mingxu felt that even if his supernatural powers were exhausted, he could still replenish them as soon as possible. He only reminded, "If there is any danger, enter the space immediately."
"Got it," Lu Weiyi lowered his body to Fenghuang and said, "Phoenix, keep provoking and find the hidden green-feathered chicken. If you can catch it, I will play with you."
"Ga ga ga--" The Phoenix's provocative voice became louder. The arrogance in its words made Lu Weiyi learn a few words and use them again on the mutant snake.
He was not very familiar with communicating with animals and could only grasp the occasional frequency, just like a foreign language. He only mastered the entry level and could only use a few sentences to stimulate the other party. However, he had to admit that the IQ of the mutated animals had obviously increased greatly.
After realizing that it couldn't attack them with its tail or jumping, it simply broke a tree as thick as its arms and threw it towards them.
Fortunately, Lu Weiyi used his mental barrier to block it, otherwise it might have really hit the unprepared Phoenix.
"Be careful..."
"quack--"
Zhuang Mingxu's voice was accompanied by a loud response not far away.
At the same time, another huge energy ball appeared on the energy detector in Zhuang Mingxu's hand, "appeared".
Zhuang Mingxu followed the energy monitor and looked into the distance. He saw a green peacock flying over the towering trees into the air. A flame shot out of its mouth and shot straight into the sky, giving a feeling of a phoenix chasing the sun.
"You're right, it's really beautiful." Even someone like Lu Weiyi, who was used to seeing beautiful things, felt that this scene was simply heart-shaking. He turned around and saw the undisguised love in Zhuang Mingxu's eyes, "Can I catch it for you to play with?"
"Uh-huh?"
Before Zhuang Mingxu could answer, the Phoenix had already flown towards the Green Peacock with the mutant giant snake.
"Phoenix, get ready. We are going to scam you. If you continue to provoke Peacock..."
"Quack! (Green-feathered Chicken)" Phoenix was angry.
"Yes, Green-haired Chicken, I will continue to scold the mutant snake, and when it attacks us, we will directly enter the space, and you will automatically return to the consciousness area and let them collide and fight each other." Lu Weiyi arranged a strategy that was not really a strategy in front of Zhuang Mingxu. Zhuang Mingxu opened his mouth for a long time, and didn't know what to say.
He suddenly felt that this person was simply unreliable. Just when he wanted to stop him and discuss it, Lu Weiyi said something to the mutant snake. The mutant snake's pupils suddenly stood up, and the whole body flew into the air and attacked them regardless of anything. In front, the clacking sound of the phoenix flapping its wings also made the green peacock on the opposite side fly towards them with a hiss, and what was faster than the original bird was the flames it sprayed.
Even without touching it, Zhuang Mingxu could feel its heat, and the giant snake behind him rose higher than before, which made it very close to them. However, it stretched out its snake core...
A fishy smell filled his nose. Zhuang Mingxu had not experienced this feeling of being on the verge of life and death for a long time, especially when he had no strength to struggle and could only wait.
Countless images flashed through his mind, but in the end, he found himself just hugging Lu Weiyi tightly and closing his eyes.
The fresh air and Taotao's surprised voice calling "Dad" brought Zhuang Mingxu back to his senses. He swallowed hard to calm his pounding heart, and gasped as he looked at Lu Weiyi who was tightly hugged by him.
His eyes were still sparkling, and he asked, "Is it exciting? In Ning Yuan and Wu Yue's illusions, I saw your recklessness in the army, as well as the life-and-death situation when carrying out missions. Have you ever felt that way again?"
Lu Weiyi saw the happy life that Zhuang Mingxu had hidden in front of him. He was extremely happy during that period of time. That was what his life should have been like without him.
He took off his camouflage and put on a suit, burying the soul of the past. He wanted to take him to experience it again, that accelerated heartbeat between life and death.
"...Yes." Zhuang Mingxu touched his heart that seemed to be beating out of his chest, and indeed felt a feeling that was completely different from the intrigue and scheming.
"Then let's go out and take a look?" Lu Weiyi asked excitedly.
Zhuang Mingxu touched Taotao's head, motioning him to continue playing with the little tiger. He lowered his head to tighten his boots, stretched out his hand to Lu Weiyi, and said, "Please take care of me."
"Let's go!" As Lu Weiyi's voice fell, two people appeared at the place where they entered the space. The two people fell directly to the ground in mid-air without any support.
Zhuang Mingxu made sure that he had a firm grip on Lu Weiyi before he had time to look at the ground not far away. Two huge mutant creatures had already begun fighting each other. The mutant peacock's fire ability ignited the surrounding woods, and a raging mountain fire was burning.
The cold-blooded mutant snake seemed unaccustomed to such a situation and kept trying to change locations, but was stopped by the peacock's claws.
Just as the two were about to land, a phoenix suddenly appeared beneath them and carried them steadily to the ground.
Lu Weiyi quickly attached an energy jammer to himself.
"Will this work?" Zhuang Mingxu remembered that the equipment they developed had little effect on him at SS level, and it might be even less effective after the upgrade.
"It can be weakened a little bit. They can feel my energy. Try to make it as small as possible so as not to arouse their interest." Lu Weiyi replied, and stuck one on the Phoenix. After finding that it had no effect, he took it back with regret, letting the Phoenix return to the consciousness area first.
"Ga ga (I want to catch the green-feathered chicken)!" The phoenix rarely comes out and is not happy about it.
"We'll wait until they're both defeated and then go up together. Now that you've appeared, they'll all target you."
"Ga gaga gaga (You said it was a toy for me)" The phoenix's huge beak pushed Zhuang Mingxu, causing him to almost fall down even though he couldn't see it at all.
Fortunately, Lu Weiyi tied the two of them together with a small green branch when he left the space, which prevented him from falling on the rugged mountain road.
"Go back, you're getting more and more arrogant just because I give you a good face." Lu Weiyi immediately turned hostile, cursed, and slapped the Phoenix's energy body, directly shattering it.
