Chapter 71: Wind Spirit (II)
Gu Nian used the points accumulated by the Aurora Team to exchange for a double-decker yacht. Double-decker yachts are rare nowadays. After all, no one knows when they will need a yacht.
When the waves were not high, the Aurora team would directly drive the yacht out to sea, and then switch to the Golden Feather Falcon to hunt sea monsters, which further improved the hunting efficiency. This made the Aurora team even more famous, becoming a well-known evolutionary team in the entire shelter.
Gu Nian also went out to sea several times, but unfortunately he never encountered the Wind Spirit. It was hidden far away in the depths of the ocean.
However, three days later, the sea became rough again.
Noah Research Institute has re-established an observation base station in the shelter. Early in the morning, the shelter sounded the sirens and issued an emergency notice to everyone, requiring all surviving residents to take shelter in the building. Thunderstorms are about to occur, and a storm is approaching, and a large number of waterspouts are about to form.
A waterspout is a huge tornado formed on the sea surface during an extreme storm. The speed of a waterspout is much faster than a typhoon, and it can sweep and overturn all obstacles along the way. A large number of waterspouts moving at high speed on the sea surface can cause extremely destructive power.
However, when the waterspout appeared, Gu Nian found the trace of the Wind Spirit again on the task panel. It finally left the deep sea and approached the land again.
Gu Nian decided to capture the spirit of wind.
Even if it was risky, she couldn't let go of this opportunity.
The Aurora team has received news that the boss came to Haicheng to capture an extremely powerful sea monster. Now they heard that the sea monster has finally appeared. Even when a waterspout is coming, everyone is ready to fight.
Ten golden falcons carried all the team members into the air. The golden falcons had been feeding on sea monsters for a while, and the abundant food made them stronger, allowing them to fly steadily even in strong winds.
Gu Nian sat on Da Jin and approached the waterspout. At this time, she was only a few hundred meters away from the waterspout. Seven or eight waterspouts were moving at high speed, and the Wind Spirit was hiding behind the waterspouts.
These waterspouts seemed to have eyes and came straight towards the team. Once the team changed direction, the waterspouts followed closely.
In the Aurora team, four members possess the shield ability, which allows them to erect protective shields of varying sizes around themselves, with the largest area reaching hundreds of meters.
Seeing that the waterspout was unavoidable, the original plan was to have these four members block it.
The golden-winged falcons flapped their wings together and dived into the waterspout.
The high-speed rotating wind will roll a large amount of water on the sea surface into the wind column. Therefore, the waterspout is filled with water columns rotating with the wind, and the wind speed can reach 200 kilometers per hour!
Almost at the moment of entering the water tornado, the four psychics put up a protective shield together!
The shields overlapped with each other and finally blocked the terrible destructive power of the strong winds and water columns inside the water tornado. Needless to say, the Golden Winged Falcon accelerated and flew out directly!
Such a protective shield would cause extremely terrible consumption to the evolvers. By the time everyone escaped from the water tornado, the four members had completely collapsed, their faces were pale, and they were unable to fight for a short period of time.
Behind the waterspout were four or five giant sea beasts.
These sea beasts have reached a height of about four stories. Standing on the sea, Gu Nian inexplicably thought of Godzilla, the famous monster movie before the natural disaster.
The Spirit of Wind was standing behind this group of sea beasts, its pupils covered by stone armor blinking with a smug look in its eyes.
Gu Nian waved his hand, and the four members who had lost their fighting power retreated. The remaining ten members went forward and fought with the sea monsters in groups of two. They had no intention of killing the sea monsters, the most important thing was to entangle them and create opportunities for Gu Nian.
The sea beasts were surrounded, and the wind spirit behind them retreated hesitantly.
It's too late.
Gu Nian held the bow with one hand, drew the arrow, put it on the string, and shot the arrow directly.
Unlike last time, she already knew the image of the Wind Spirit in advance, so it was easy for her to determine that the pupils blocked by the thick stone armor were the Wind Spirit's weakness.
The arrow pierced the pupil accurately, and the wind spirit wailed and swayed in the air. Gu Nian was delighted. The poison extracted from the arrowhead was effective! She asked Tian Mingyue for the venom extracted from the blue-ringed octopus in advance, just for this moment.
As the king of the sky, the Golden Wing Falcon, once there was no waterspout to resist, was extremely fast. With Yue Jian and Tu Jing, they surrounded the Wind Spirit in a few jumps. The two of them directly hacked at the stone armor outside.
Once the stone armor is completely shattered, the pupil inside is obviously very weakly protected and can be easily injured.
Gu Nian also continued to shoot, firing multiple arrows in succession, locking down the Wind Spirit and creating time for the two of them.
Finally, cracks appeared on the stone armor.
The pupils in the stone armor revealed an anxious look, and suddenly tears of blood flowed out. The surrounding storm also rapidly intensified. The Golden-winged Falcon swayed for a moment, but the Spirit of Wind took the opportunity to suddenly accelerate and escaped the blockade.
As soon as they left the encirclement, the Wind Spirit blew up strong winds. It was extremely fast, like a meteor, and it seemed like it was fleeing in desperation.
As soon as Gu Nian saw its speed, he knew he couldn't catch up.
I let it run away anyway. Gu Nian thought, next time I must prevent it from escaping in advance and block its retreat route before I can catch it.
As the Wind Spirit left, the speed of the water tornado behind him gradually decreased.
At this time, several members of the Aurora team, which was trembling with the sea beasts, were already injured.
Gu Nian, Tu Jing and Yue Jian quickly joined the battle.
After a fierce fight, the sea beasts were finally killed and the sea returned to calm.
Everyone gathered together.
At this time, Gu Nian noticed that the last member to be injured was holding a little girl of seven or eight years old in his arms.
The little girl's clothes were torn, her face was covered with mud, and she was holding a backpack tightly, but her pair of bright black eyes could still be seen. She was crying silently, a sad cry.
"She and her mother were rushing to the shelter, but the speedboat was overturned. Her mother put her on a door panel and was washed away by the current... When we found her, she had already fallen into the water, with only one hand still tightly holding onto the edge of the door panel..." A team member whispered to Gu Nian.
Natural disasters are a sin.
"Let's take her back to Cuiwei Mountain together." Gu Nian said. There was no reason to abandon this girl at sea.
Several sea beasts were too large to be taken back, so the team members simply unloaded the beasts and took away important materials, then they returned to Cuiwei Mountain.
Gu Nian called Tian Mingyue to collect materials. Haicheng's Noah Research Institute loves to buy mutant beast materials.
The little girl stood timidly beside the tent.
Hu Da boiled a pot of hot water, and Tu Jing took out a towel to wipe the little girl clean. The little girl's name was Feng Tingting.
Gu Nian began to think about how to place Feng Tingting. She and the Aurora team would go out to hunt the Wind Spirit at any time, and the camp would be empty by then. It was unrealistic for Feng Tingting to live alone. Should someone stay to take care of her? But the team members who came with Gu Nian this time were not many, and their skills complemented each other. One less person would mean one less combat power.
When Tian Mingyue came over, she also saw the little girl.
"Where did the child come from?" Tian Mingyue was stunned.
"I picked her up." Gu Nian told her about the little girl's situation.
Tian Mingyue suggested: "How about I take her to a relief organization. There are many children like her there."
That's an idea.
Gu Nian squatted down and discussed with Feng Tingting: "Are you willing to go to the relief organization? There are many children there who are the same age as you. There will be someone to accompany you and take care of you."
Feng Tingting looked a little uneasy. "Can't I live with you?"
Gu Nian reached out and touched her head, explaining, "We may go out to sea at any time. We need someone to fight those big monsters on the beach, so we won't be able to take care of you."
Feng Tingting understood and nodded.
This is a sensible child. Gu Nian touched her again and said, "I will come to see you. When I finish these things, I will take you back. If you haven't found your relatives by then and still want to live with us, then you can live with us."
Feng Tingting looked happy.
Tian Mingyue took her hand and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Gu Nian asked Tian Mingyue to help find out if Feng Tingting had any other relatives in the shelter.
------------------------------------------------------
Tian Mingyue held Feng Tingting's hand and walked towards the relief organization.
The girl was as obedient as a kitten, not crying or making a fuss. She was carrying a panda-shaped backpack with precious food in it, which was packed by her mother. It was obvious that she must have been loved by her family.
The relief organization has a separate bed and breakfast building, which is only four stories high. Now every room is full of children. Some adults in white clothes are walking around. They are responsible for taking care of the children and are staff members of the relief organization.
Tian Mingyue took Feng Tingting to the first floor, found the person in charge of the relief organization, and planned to register her.
As they walked along the corridor, an open room on the right suddenly caught fire. Looking inside the open door, they saw a boy with flames gushing out of his body. At first glance, he looked like a man on fire. The child next to him screamed and rushed out desperately.
Tian Mingyue quickly said to Feng Tingting: "Wait for me here."
Then she quickly rushed in. Tian Mingyue was also a fire-type supernatural being. She walked into the room, which was already scorching hot. She stretched out her right hand, guided the flames in the air to gather in her palm, and then her spiritual power surged, compressing the flames into a small fireball that rotated in her palm.
The boy's special powers have awakened, and as long as he can get through this stage, he will become an evolver.
Tian Mingyue sighed silently in her heart. She didn't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, but the proportion of orphans in this building who awakened into superpowers was extremely high.
According to Noah's theoretical research, human brains are very prone to mutation when they encounter strong stimulation, so the probability of awakening to superpowers is the highest. These children have experienced the death of their relatives, broken families, and become orphans. Children's minds are far more fragile and sensitive than adults, so more than one in ten children in the relief organization have signs of awakening to varying degrees. Compared with the evolution probability of adults, which is one in a thousand, the evolution probability of children in the relief organization is terrifyingly high.
This boy seemed to be one of them. Because he had just awakened his superpowers, he could not control the flames and needed help from outsiders. Tian Mingyu carefully guided the flames coming out of his body and gathered them all in her palm.
Ten minutes later, the boy's ability stabilized, and the flames on his body stopped coming out. The boy who was originally unconscious finally opened his eyes. "What...what's wrong with me?" The boy stretched out his hands, and in his confusion, he felt something different about himself.
"Congratulations, you have become an evolver." Tian Mingyue flipped her palm and took the flame into her body. Before leaving, she asked the boy to go to the staff here to explain his situation.
She walked out of the room and left with Feng Tingting.
"What was that just now?" Feng Tingting looked up and asked her.
"He has evolved superpowers." Tian Mingyue said patiently. Now the existence of evolvers is no secret to ordinary people.
Feng Tingting knew what this meant. She had seen it on TV. Sister Gu who saved her was also an evolver. She looked up at Tian Mingyue, this sister was also an evolver.
She thought of Gu Nian, who rushed over in the strong wind and shot arrows to kill the terrifying sea beast, as well as the fire that Tian Mingyue had just easily stopped from spreading.
Feng Tingting had an ignorant idea in her young heart. I also want to be as strong as them. I want to have a strong power to protect my family, instead of just watching my mother being washed away by the water and crying helplessly.
Tian Mingyue didn't know what Feng Tingting was thinking. She took Feng Tingting to register, squatted down and told her: "Someone will take you to your room later. Get along well with everyone. I will come to see you if there is anything, okay?" She handed Feng Tingting a bag of candy: "This is a gift from Gu Nian for you."
Tian Mingyue watched the little girl disappear into the depths of the corridor with the staff, and she felt relieved. She turned and left in a hurry, as she had a lot of things to do every day.
Not long after Tian Mingyue left, the boy who had just awakened walked towards the office on the top floor. The children knew that once they became evolvers, they had to go to the office on the top floor to register. However, when he turned the corner, a pair of big hands covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Before the boy could even scream, he fainted and was taken away.
