Fei Yan and Hei Da Shuai, who had been standing quietly watching the fierce battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but exchange a glance.
In that instant, as if they were of one mind, they both caught a deep look of surprise in each other's eyes.
Feiyan, her face full of doubt, asked Commander Hei, "Who exactly is this Weilu? I've never heard of him before! Someone as powerful as him shouldn't be unknown!"
After hearing this, Black General shook his head blankly, indicating that he also knew nothing about it.
Then, with a hint of lingering fear, he said, "Yeah, if we had known this guy was so fierce, were we a bit too arrogant just now?"
You should know that when the two of them teamed up to deal with that creature before, it took them a lot of trouble, time and effort to finally subdue it.
However, Gu Lingxiao in front of them simply used a single move to instantly kill the guy who was giving them so much trouble.
How could such a huge gap in strength not shock Fei Yan and Hei Da Shuai?
Once he realized what was happening, Black General immediately put on a fawning smile and quickly approached Gu Lingxiao, saying enthusiastically, "Oh my, Brother Wei Lu, you're truly a hidden master! I never imagined you possessed such extraordinary skills! I'm utterly impressed!"
Faced with Black General's praise, Gu Lingxiao remained quite calm. He smiled slightly and casually replied, "Hehe, it's just a trivial skill. It's mainly because the opponent is too weak."
Although Gu Lingxiao spoke casually, Fei Yan and Hei Dashuai both thought to themselves, "Hmph, this guy is really good at pretending." However, despite their thoughts, they still greeted Gu Lingxiao with smiles on their faces, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
Gu Lingxiao carefully placed the precious extraordinary artifact into his backpack.
This backpack is no ordinary item; it is meticulously crafted using state-of-the-art nanomaterials.
Don't be fooled by its ordinary appearance, which makes it look just like any other backpack; it's packed with features inside!
It's important to know that if you use an ordinary backpack to carry such important items, they are very easy to damage if you're not careful.
However, with this nano backpack, everything is different.
It possesses an astonishingly strong resistance to drops and impacts, and even water and fire cannot cause it the slightest damage.
This is why the items stored inside can be well protected no matter how harsh the environment.
This extraordinary artifact is worth millions of original super-energy crystals.
If the identity of the person who owns this item is of paramount importance, then if the Holy Light Family wants to buy it back, the price will inevitably have to rise even higher.
At this thought, an evil idea began to quietly grow in Gu Lingxiao's mind.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Black Commander and Flying Swallow not far away, his gaze sharp and dangerous like that of a hungry wolf.
Staring intently at by such threatening eyes, Hei Dashuai and Feiyan felt a chill run down their spines, as if a cold, piercing wind was rushing from their feet to their heads.
"Wh...what's wrong?" Black General stammered, taking two steps back involuntarily. His round body trembled slightly with nervousness.
Despite being filled with fear, he mustered his courage and asked Gu Lingxiao a question.
Gu Lingxiao smiled slightly, seemingly trying to ease the somewhat tense atmosphere: "It's alright, let's continue. But I did make an unexpected discovery just now." He paused for a moment, then continued: "Have you noticed that those seemingly ordinary things in this world actually resemble special super-energy crystals? They're the most precious type of primal super-energy crystals that we often talk about outside."
While this special super-energy crystal also requires ingestion to absorb its energy, it is absorbed by the body much faster than the original super-energy crystals buried deep in underground mines!
Upon hearing these words, both Hei Dashuai and Fei Yan stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with astonishment.
Seeing this, Gu Lingxiao continued to explain, "So, if we can find special items that match our abilities and are suitable for fusion, then in this magical world, we can quickly improve our strength simply by eating some ordinary things! Just think how exciting that is!"
At first, when they heard the relevant information, the two of them were completely bewildered, as if they were in a fog and had no idea what to do.
However, as the explanation deepened and the key points were gradually revealed, their eyes began to brighten, like twinkling stars in the night sky, revealing a light of sudden realization.
The problem that had been troubling them all along was that, despite their powerful strength, the absorption rate of the original super energy crystals was too slow, resulting in a severe shortage of the super energy needed to fuse with special items.
This weakness has become a key factor limiting their ability to further improve and break through bottlenecks.
As Anweilu (i.e. Gu Lingxiao) just mentioned, if super energy is obtained through eating, the efficiency will be greatly improved, far exceeding the previous method of simply absorbing primordial super energy crystals.
This way, the enormous demand for super energy when fusing special items and achieving breakthroughs can be easily met.
Seeing the overjoyed expressions of Hei Dashuai and Feiyan over this discovery, Gu Lingxiao remained unusually calm, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.
After all, for someone with the ability to devour and plunder, this conventional way of obtaining super energy was far too slow and could not compare to his astonishing devouring speed.
At this moment, Gu Lingxiao decided to activate his unique location detection ability in order to find out where the most precious and valuable items in this world were hidden.
In an instant, a miraculous scene unfolded—the view before him suddenly changed dramatically. The familiar environment vanished instantly, replaced by a grand perspective, as if God were looking down upon all living beings.
In this entirely new perspective, an enormous arrow slowly descends from the sky.
Upon closer inspection, to everyone's astonishment, the tip of the enormous arrow was pointing directly at Gu Lingxiao himself! Faced with this unbelievable scene, Gu Lingxiao couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on? Could it be that the most valuable thing in this world isn't some other treasure or mysterious power, but myself?"
