Chapter 147 Little Monster [Update 1]
However, when Ruan Xi saw the appearance of the alien parasite clearly, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Because the one in front of him was different from any alien parasite he had seen before. From its appearance to the feeling it gave, it exuded an lingering evil nature that made him want to destroy it.
Of course, if the person facing this alien parasite is an evil person, perhaps he will make a completely opposite choice.
"I want to kill him." This was the first time that Ruan Xi had such a strong desire to kill. Facing such a living being whose age was equivalent to that of an embryo, as a doctor, he could not muster even a trace of pity.
"Roar... Get out! Get out! Don't touch me..." Chi Lin's voice was terribly low, carrying an evil and malice that could not be ignored. He kept trying to break through the protective layer that the tree had set up for Ruan Xi and destroy him.
Under such continuous energy impact, Ruan Xi's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face turned pale little by little, without a trace of blood.
"Ruan Xi!" He Ziqian was shocked when he saw this. He didn't care about anything else and didn't even have time to think. He hugged Ruan Xi into his arms and wrapped Ruan Xi with his mental power, as if by doing so he could protect his lover.
In fact, what he did was really a blind cat catching a dead mouse. He accidentally protected Ruan Xi and added a new layer of protection. Moreover, it was an extremely powerful shield that was highly targeted against the evil energy in Chi Lin's body.
With the addition of He Ziqian, the wood energy output by Ruan Xi burst into bursts of golden light, which not only blocked the attack of the evil energy, but also eroded that energy bit by bit.
"Wow..." At this moment, a sharp and piercing cry suddenly came from the front. To be more precise, it was more like a devil's sound piercing the ears. Ruan Xi was not careful for a moment and was shocked so much that his head was buzzing. He almost lost his mind and caused the output energy threads to collapse.
Fortunately, he was protected by Dashu and He Ziqian, and he reacted in time and was very annoyed for a while.
"What the hell is that? Is this a fucking evil ghost? It's screaming so awful that it almost deafens my ears..." Ruan Xi's statement was not an exaggeration at all. Even though he had recovered now, the stinging sensation in his ears had not eased much. The buzzing sound kept lingering, and he wished his ears would explode on the spot every second.
"Ruan Xi, what's inside Chi Lin's body?" He Ziqian was now using all his mental strength to protect Ruan Xi. He had no time to distract himself and go into Chi Lin's body to check what was going on, so he simply asked directly.
"A demonic alien parasite, a monster that makes you want to kill it at the first sight." Ruan Xi's tone was full of disgust. At the same time, he finally understood why the little monster screamed.
"That monster is absorbing Chilin's energy... No, this is not the Chilin's energy that we are familiar with." Perhaps, it is the energy that the original owner hid here, specially prepared for the awakening of this little monster.
"The energy hidden in Chi Lin's body, but not belonging to Chi Lin..." These words sounded like a tongue twister, but He Ziqian understood it as soon as he heard it. His already solemn face became even colder.
"Is that monster absorbing energy? What changes will occur after absorbing the energy?" He Ziqian said this, but he didn't really want to ask for any answer, because he already had the answer in his heart.
He just wanted to remind Ruan Xi to be more careful. Even if it was unnecessary, he was willing to do it.
"Don't worry, we will never let him absorb all the energy smoothly and then cause trouble. The tree is almost done. If we are lucky enough, we can catch the little monster. If we are not lucky enough..." Well, the result is hard to say. If it is lucky, we can escape unscathed. If it is not so lucky, we will end up in a desperate situation.
Ruan Xi could clearly feel that the energy fluctuations surrounding him were becoming more and more intense, which proved that more and more energy was gathering towards the little monster. When it reached the peak point, something would definitely happen.
"Dashu, how's the plan going? Can we catch him?" Ever since Ruan Xi and He Ziqian had communicated with each other, she no longer had any guard against him. She simply said it directly so that He Ziqian would also know how far things had developed.
"It's not going to be easy, Ruan Xi. Be prepared. This isn't going to be good..." Da Shu's tone was more serious than ever before, causing Ruan Xi's heart to tighten. "What do you mean by 'not good'? Da Shu, do it within your capabilities. Don't hurt yourself. At worst, you can just kill it. Catching it alive or not isn't that important."
Ruan Xi didn't want to damage the big tree in order to catch such a small monster, otherwise he would blame himself to death.
"...I understand. I will do my best." He tried his best to help Ruan Xi and also tried his best to protect himself.
When Ruan Xi heard this, he understood in his heart that Dashu still wanted to have the best of both worlds, but in real life, it is often difficult to have the best of both worlds. It is already lucky to have one of the two.
"Protect yourself first!"
After hearing this, although He Ziqian didn't know what the big tree had done, he understood the big tree's intention. He immediately released as much mental power as possible without any care, not only protecting Ruan Xi's body, but also following the direction of Ruan Xi's energy transmission, entering Chi Lin's body, and finally seeing the situation inside, he was shocked.
"Is this the monster?" This monster was roughly 70% similar in appearance to the alien parasites they had seen before, but it looked evil no matter how they looked at it. Just as Ruan Xi said, it was the kind that one would want to kill just by looking at it, and it was impossible for them to feel any pity for it.
"Yes, we need to find a way to interrupt its energy absorption. The energy barrier that the tree and I have jointly set up can't completely isolate the little monster. It can only slow down the speed at which it absorbs energy. If this continues, it will be finished sooner or later."
As for how "complete" it will be, that depends on fate.
But Ruan Xi and He Ziqian are not people who believe in fate. They believe more in their own abilities.
"Where does this energy come from? Is it from some part of Chi Lin's body? If the energy supply is cut off, is it possible that the energy transmission path will be cut off?" He Ziqian understands machinery, and mechas even better. If this inexplicable energy is able to survive by relying on Chi Lin, then they cannot attack the energy itself, so they will directly attack Chi Lin.
Even if it means destroying the most technologically advanced and powerful mecha in the entire Yinyu Empire, it would be worth it. In short, we must not let that evil little monster escape.
"I don't know. Anyway, there's no better way. Let's give it a try." Ruan Xi was completely bewildered. She felt speechless and wanted to complain about her boyfriend. Didn't he know he was terrible with mechanics? Wasn't she afraid he'd get dizzy after sharing such professional mecha knowledge with him?
How could he faint at such a critical moment? Of course he had to take emergency shelter!
He Ziqian said he would give it a try, and without any hesitation, he released his mental power to invade Chi Lin's control system. But soon, he felt that he was powerless. Just as he was about to ask Ruan Xi for help, a surge of energy rushed towards him. In a flash, it helped him successfully invade Chi Lin's control system and smoothly cut off Chi Lin's energy supply.
Suddenly, all activities inside the red scale stopped, and the energy that was originally flashing with dark red light dimmed, leaving only the little monster, still beating regularly like a heart. But the strange thing was that after the inexplicable energy was blocked, the color of the little monster gradually turned blood red, looking even more ominous.
"Don't wait, kill him!" Ruan Xi looked at the little monster and felt uncomfortable from body to mind. Although his body was still outside, he felt obvious difficulty breathing. He was really afraid that he would be in danger of suffocation at any time.
"Go!" Dashu and He Ziqian responded almost at the same time. Ruan Xi did not hesitate at all. He mobilized all the energy in his body, turned it into a sharp cone, and attacked the little monster fiercely.
"Wow... wow... wow..." The little monster cried shrilly again, and the power was almost doubled than the previous one. No matter how strong Ruan Xi and He Ziqian were, they were still human beings after all. They were instantly shocked and bled from all seven orifices. Not to mention thinking, their heads were filled with only buzzing sounds, as if they had been filled with thousands of poisonous bees, and the poisonous bee stings had pierced their brains into hedgehog balls.
Before his consciousness became blurred, Ruan Xi only saw that the energy that had been cut off was reconnected with the little monster, and he felt that the speed of energy transmission was faster, but at this time, he could do nothing.
He Ziqian's condition was not much better than his. He just forced himself to hold Ruan Xi tightly, trying to spare a few strands of mental energy to protect Ruan Xi, but it was impossible for him to do so.
Only Dashu was in a barely acceptable condition, but he could only protect Ruan Xi and He Ziqian at the moment. If this wave of energy attack really landed on them, both of them would be shocked into fools.
It’s over!
These two words were the only things left in the minds of the two men and the tree. They were waiting for tragedy to happen, but suddenly another red shadow jumped out from somewhere. The red shadow stopped, and it was really a ball of red light. It was impossible to see what was inside the red light.
But the most important thing is that the red light ball that came later was clearly the opposite of the evil little monster.
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian both breathed a sigh of relief and saw the situation clearly. They inexplicably felt that the red ball of light seemed a little familiar.
"Where does the foreign aid come from?" Ruan Xi asked subconsciously, but no one could answer him, not even Dashu, as they were all confused.
"Wow... wow... wow..." The little monster started crying again. The two people and the tree were all shocked, but the strange thing was that the high damage from before did not happen again. They only felt bursts of tingling in their heads, and this kind of pain was completely within the tolerable range.
The two men and the tree were all surprised, but they didn't dare to act rashly. Who knew which side the red light ball that appeared behind them was on? What if it changed sides at the last minute?
But just as they were worried, the little monster's crying stopped abruptly, the blood-red dark light disappeared in an instant, and the evil energy fluctuations also disappeared without a trace.
