Chapter 711: Enlightenment of the Truth
Zhuang Mingxu's enthusiasm came to an abrupt end. He didn't know what to say for a moment. The sudden silence in the air made Lu Weiyi laugh unconsciously.
The curved look in her eyes made Zhuang Mingxu laugh as well. "I want to discuss with you how to take these away with you."
Lu Weiyi pointed to the solid matter not far away that was diverted to other places by them and then condensed into thousands of meters of solid matter. When this thing was in liquid state, it was viscous and extremely elastic, and when it was in solid state, it was extremely tough.
When Lu Weiyi was underground, he found that the holes were shrinking. He thought about using his weapon to chop a passage. However, the blade with his supernatural power only left a barely visible cut. The speed of cutting was not as fast as his supernatural power consumption. "You want to take those things with you?"
"..." Looking at the thing that was estimated to be several tons, Zhuang Mingxu felt his greed, but he still nodded, "It may be impossible to transport the whole solid, but how about dividing it into small pieces? How about loading it directly into the jade space?"
"You can try it." As soon as Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he was pulled by the decisive Zhuang Mingxu towards the "cement floor" that had solidified again.
Zhou He and Wu Yue saw this scene and followed over. Zhuang Mingxu did not explain to them the specific use of this thing, but when they heard him say that he wanted to transport them all back, they could guess its value.
"I'll do it. How to split it? Just use your superpowers directly." Wu Yue stepped forward very actively. As he spoke, a scimitar made of soil appeared in his palm. The shape was similar to the ones equipped by the Yuebanwan base army, but the texture was obviously different.
It looked very blunt, as if it had no blade, but when Wu Yue slashed it against the extremely tough solid, it actually left a cut on it.
"Are you kidding me?" Zhou He looked at the shallow line, laughed and wanted to try it himself. Fortunately, he knew that this thing could not be burned with fire, so he took out his sword and made a cut as well.
Looking at the place where only a mark was left, Zhou He's smile stopped abruptly. After a moment, he put away the knife as if nothing had happened, and made a gesture of invitation to Wu Yue, indicating that he should continue.
But Wu Yue didn't mind at all. He laughed and actually used up his special powers to cut deeper.
Zhuang Mingxu, who had seen enough of the excitement, reached out to stop it, "There's no need to be so troublesome, just call the water-based psychic over, the low temperature can melt it directly into liquid."
As he spoke, he called a water-type mutant over to divert the traffic. Wu Yue looked at this scene, praising him for his ability, but his eyes showed no emotion.
The upgrade of his mental power made Lu Weiyi extremely sensitive to all of this. However, as someone who was not well versed in human affairs, he could not think of the reason, but just subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
While waiting for the liquid to solidify, Zhuang Mingxu set his sights on the abyss mushrooms that they had hidden underground. Dead objects were easy to transport, but living objects really put him at a loss for a moment.
"Is there a big bug underneath?" Zhuang Mingxu looked at the ground supported by the earth-type mutant. Although he could not see anything underground, his expression was complicated, as if he took in everything.
"Yes," Lu Weiyi nodded and described it to the other two, "Oval in shape, almost three meters high, thick... less than two meters, long... about three meters, it is blended into the liquid and cannot be seen at all, as if it is transparent."
If he had not used his mental power to search for the location of the crystal core of the abyss mushroom, he might not have been able to discover it.
Moreover, this shape immediately reminded Lu Weiyi of the disorganized underground passages. He turned his head in astonishment to look at Zhuang Mingxu, and received an indescribable nod from the other party, "It was created by it. It will merge again after twenty hours after it leaves." This was also the reason why Zhao Gang and others later discovered that some passages disappeared and some passages became smaller.
"This should... also be a mutant insect," Lu Weiyi was not sure, "Its entire body is a crystal core."
"What do you mean? Don't understand?" Zhou He asked.
Lu Weiyi thought about it seriously and asked Wu Yue, "Do you remember that I mentioned to the team before that you need to integrate the crystal core into your body to upgrade to a higher level?"
Wu Yue nodded. At that time, cracks appeared in Lu Weiyi's crystal core. The situation was very serious. Their entire team was thinking about how to solve it. "Is it related to this bug?"
"The crystal core is at best a container of energy. When the energy is fully integrated into the body, the energy will strengthen every inch of the body," Lu Weiyi said, reaching out to take the scimitar from Zhou He's hand and slashing it at his arm. Under the shocked gazes of several people, the scimitar seemed to have touched something extremely flexible, pressing on the skin and bouncing inwards, but without leaving any wound.
"In this case, people themselves will become a large mobile crystal core," Lu Weiyi pointed to the ground, "just like it."
"I suspect that the strong toughness of this thing may be related to this."
While Wu was digesting this information, Zhou He asked bluntly, "So this thing is on the same level as you? Isn't it very powerful?"
Wu Yue also looked over. They could indeed accept valuable things, but they would rather not accept anything so dangerous.
"Not sure..." What Lu Weiyi explored with his mental power was that no matter it was mushrooms, insects, or the mucus in which they lived together, they were all a large area emitting a faint energy. He had no way of distinguishing what specifically emitted the energy.
"No," Zhuang Mingxu said affirmatively, "I've read research materials on hell mushrooms. Its symbiotic worms are called slugs. The low-level ones are the ones we saw in the cave before. High-level ones will form a one-to-one relationship. They are not very aggressive and rely on the psychedelic effect of their spores to attract prey. This energy dispersion is just a means of deterring the enemy."
"Are you sure it's not aggressive?" Zhou He asked.
Zhuang Mingxu nodded and said, "This is the result of the cultivation intervention in Qi Le's laboratory, which eliminates unnecessary risks."
"Are you sure?" Zhou He thought of the mycelium as thin as hair and looked at Zhuang Mingxu suspiciously.
"Definitely," said Zhuang Mingxu, "everything that was not eliminated is useful."
At this point, Zhuang Mingxu's expression became complicated again, "You can't imagine the effect of the mycelium."
Zhou He silently signaled him with his eyes to speak.
"Snow White... is the human form of the white deer. The substance she was injected with at the beginning was extracted from a white deer, and it incorporated some of the white deer's characteristics. Originally, there was a certain gap in DNA between humans and animals and plants, and there was no possibility of fusion. This processed mycelium can accelerate the fusion and allow the human body to better absorb the extracted substances."
"Bai Xue said that they used this thing to artificially create a lot of fierce beast-shaped orcs." Zhuang Mingxu also felt a headache when he said this. It was indeed a country that was always looking for trouble. They were still thinking about how to survive peacefully, but they were already frantically testing the edge of starting a war.
This news made everyone silent. After a moment, Zhou He looked at the residents of the Mountain God base not far away and said, "They have been taken by Fang Tang to meet the people in the training room in the mountains. Some people who had disappeared earlier were found among them. In addition, seeds that had been placed in their bodies long ago were found. How much they believed in the Mountain God at the beginning, how much they hate him now."
It’s a pity that life has to go on, “What should we do with them?”
Zhuang Mingxu followed his gaze and saw that Sun Tao, Pang Qin and their families were still not in Fang Tang's team. He really had no intention of letting them show up before the dust settled, but he took on the responsibility of organizing and appeasing the remaining people.
The younger psychics, pushed and shoved by their family members, curried favor with the psychics in Yueban Bay. The adults even gave them everything they could, trying to please them and know more about the future.
Li Jing, relying on his young age and sweet mouth and being unguarded, wandered among the people with special powers with a few even younger children, calling them "brother or uncle" now and then, helping diligently, and coaxing a group of middle-aged men to wish they could have children right away.
They were all a group of ignorant children. Some of them could not speak at all after being pushed out by their parents. They just looked timidly and blankly at the group of murderous people in front of them, which made people feel even more distressed.
"Qi Le is simply not a human being." If these children lived in their Yueban Bay, they would become the backbone of the base in the future.
"What did you mean when you said they wouldn't live long?" Zhuang Mingxu turned his head to look at Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi thought for a while and explained, "The reason why the superpowers of psychics increase level by level is actually a process for the body to adapt to the changes. Each level has different degrees of strengthening the body. Their bodies are of ordinary people's qualities. When the energy of high-level psychics is forcibly poured into the body, the body is actually unable to adapt at all, it seems..."
Lu Weiyi was silent for a moment and thought of a metaphor, "It is equivalent to forcing one thousand milliliters of water into a 500 milliliters bottle. One day, the bottle will burst."
"It's the same as the explosion when a Psychic upgrades," he added at the end.
“Is there no solution?” They are all children of a few years old. If they die, the family members may have no desire to live.
Zhou He felt regretful and distressed, "These are all children."
"How about asking them to stop using people with special abilities in the future?" Wu Yue asked.
Before Lu Weiyi could speak, Zhuang Mingxu asked first, "Do they know where their abilities came from?"
"...There are speculations among the adults, and some people even came to ask me." Zhou He looked at Zhuang Mingxu, "Is it really... cannibalism?"
"I guess so." Zhuang Mingxu glanced in the direction of Wu Yue, and said with his chin pointing to the instrument that was salvaged by the wood-type mutant in the distance, "That is an energy condensation instrument. It is used to condense the energy in the body, and then some other means are used to extract the energy as much as possible into parts that are more suitable for the human body."
Zhuang Mingxu couldn't help but sigh when he said this, "They are really advanced. From complete instruments for detecting whether the human body is more suitable for awakening superpowers, to energy condensation and extraction instruments, if one is broken or defective, maybe they can really complete it if they are given time."
