Chapter 164: Fusion 3 [2nd Update]
"He Ziqian... I feel uncomfortable..." Finally unlocking the ability to speak, Ruan Xi shouted out his discomfort regardless of anything. His hands and feet were still weak, so he leaned in He Ziqian's arms, rubbing his head against him constantly, tears flowing from his eyes, his face full of pain.
At the same time, Ruan Xi did not forget to complain to Dashu in his mind, but Dashu remained silent. Ruan Xi was so angry that he complained to Dashu in tears about his indifference. He had no idea that Dashu was using his last bit of strength to help him find the problem in his body. The result of this check was terrible. Ruan Xi could clearly hear Dashu's gasps in shock in his mind.
Ruan Xi: “…” Shit, why do I feel like I’m in big trouble?
"Dashu, tell me the truth, when was I bitten by a snake? Was it attacked while I was sleeping at night?" But damn, he didn't feel the pain after being bitten by a snake? If he said this, would he still have any face as a doctor?
"You weren't bitten by a snake. You...you swallowed the energy core of a mutant finger-twisting snake! Do you know what this snake's nickname is?"
"What's your name?" Ruan Xi asked casually, and then was hit by a precise and critical blow from the tree, leaving him completely stunned.
"Lustful snake!"
Ruan Xi: “…” Damn, he’s feeling terrible!
Just hearing these two words made his scalp tingle, and he didn't even dare to think about the habits of this snake. He was already in dire straits now!
Shouldn't he be thankful he was in a group with his boyfriend? And only with his boyfriend? Damn, was he just incompatible with snakes? He kept encountering them, and always ended up falling on them. Even though he always won in the end, the frustration was almost unbearable.
"Then what should I do? There is... no way to detoxify it?" Ruan Xi had actually already thought of the answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Haven't you figured it out already? Hurry up, this high fever won't go away naturally. You need to take some detoxifying measures."
Ruan Xi: “…” I really want to curse… No! Curse the snake!
And then, nothing happened. Ruan Xi no longer had time to think or complain. From body to mind, he was forcibly dragged into the endless ups and downs, and his boyfriend became the perfect prop.
Therefore, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian originally wanted to rush to the original landing place of Ren Wei's group as quickly as possible, but due to an accident, they arrived at the location three days later. Naturally, Ren Wei and his group were no longer there, but as He Ziqian expected, they left behind the special marks agreed upon by the Goshawk Team. As long as they followed the marks and the marks were not interrupted halfway, they should be able to meet up smoothly.
However, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian no longer dared to have too much hope for the word "smooth", as they always felt that accidents could happen at any time and anywhere.
"Hey, Ruan Xi, are you... okay?" After three full days of intense exercise, if one of them was not a wood-type mutant and the other was not an already powerful evolved human, they would have collapsed completely.
"Yeah, it's okay." Ruan Xi tried to remain calm, but his ears had unknowingly turned crimson.
I suddenly felt embarrassed to be naughty in front of my boyfriend. At least, I can't be naughty for the time being.
He Ziqian looked at her boyfriend who was always calm and composed, and saw his cute face trying to remain calm but with his ears flushed red. Gradually, she stopped being nervous.
He was naturally happy to take the next step with his lover, but he was also worried that this unexpected step forward would cause harm to his lover's body. He was always cautious and worried. Even if Ruan Xi coughed inadvertently, his face would change drastically.
The way the two of them get along has become a little overly tense, even a little funny. Gradually, they both let it go. Anyway, they will get to that point sooner or later, so why be shy?
The two of them exercised vigorously for three days. During these three days, let alone thinking, they almost forgot their own last names. After another two days, the overly tense atmosphere between them gradually dissipated and they returned to their previous way of getting along.
At this time, Ruan Xi finally remembered the existence of the big tree, and immediately nervously called out the big tree in his mind.
"Big Tree, Big Tree, are you okay? I put the energy cores in the illustrated space, you can eat as many as you want, don't be polite with me!"
"I've been eating, so I have to chew it slowly..." After a long silence, Da Shu's voice finally sounded in Ruan Xi's mind, but it seemed a little vague and a little weird.
Soon, Ruan Xi realized that Dashu was in the atlas space, and the atlas space was equivalent to a part of his body, so Dashu knew exactly what happened in those three days!
Damn, Dashu is watching a real movie, a live version!
Oh my god... I am too embarrassed to face the tree!
He Ziqian was waiting for Ruan Xi to ask about the result of the tree, but in a blink of an eye, Ruan Xi turned red in the face, covering his face with his hands as if he couldn't face anyone.
"Ruan Xi..." He Ziqian had already thought of the answer before asking, so his ears turned red silently, but at the same time he silently held Ruan Xi's hand, giving silent comfort and support.
After all, that movement was a matter between the two of them.
"Okay, it's too late to be shy now. Well... I feel that my condition has improved. I am not as weak as before. I don't know if it is because I absorbed the energy in these energy cores, or..." or because of that three days and three nights of sleepless exercise!
Dashu didn't finish what he said, but Ruan Xi had already thought of it. Then, his face turned even redder and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
However, Ruan Xi did not ignore anything Dashu said. After guessing what Dashu had not finished saying, he silently felt the energy in his body and was shocked.
"Oh shit, it's upgraded..." He was completely shocked!
It was clearly not long since the last upgrade. At that time, Dashu had predicted that, in the best-case scenario, his next upgrade would have to wait at least a year. But only a few months had passed. Was he just taking a ride on a rocket?
"Big Tree, the Atlas Space, did you absorb all those energy cores?" Otherwise, there's no way to explain his sudden upgrade! This is incredible!
"No, there are at least half left. Moreover, at least half of it has been eaten by the things in the petri dish." Dashu's words were shocking, and Ruan Xi was stunned again.
He Ziqian couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw her being stunned again and again. He pinched his lover's cheek gently and asked with concern, "What's the problem again?"
"That alien parasite is stealing my energy core! Dashu said that half of the eaten half was eaten by that thing!" Ruan Xi's words sounded like a tongue twister. If He Ziqian had not been familiar with his lover's way of speaking, he would probably not have been able to react for a while.
"The last time the little monster appeared in Chilin's body, it was also devoured by that alien parasite. It appeared and disappeared inexplicably, and the petri dish could never be opened... What the hell is this thing? Do you really not sense any ill will towards us?"
Anyway, He Ziqian couldn't believe that aliens had any kindness, and he always had a strong sense of vigilance towards anything related to aliens.
"He didn't mean any harm. On the contrary, he was quite friendly towards me... I don't understand why he suddenly appeared that time and then locked himself back in the petri dish..."
"Wait...you mean, he put himself back into the petri dish? Instead of being taken back out?" One is active, the other is passive. The difference between the two is huge, so the problems caused may also vary greatly, which makes people have to be wary.
"Yes, I can feel that he went back by himself. When he left, he was even in a happy mood, as innocent as a child... Anyway, I felt that he didn't seem like an alien. Maybe he was an alien among aliens." Finally, Ruan Xi shrugged his shoulders and made such a conclusion.
"An alien among aliens... Ruan Xi, have you ever thought that this alien should not have existed originally, and was created by you." If it had not been accidentally collected into Ruan Xi's atlas space, but stayed in its original environment, then this alien parasite and the culture dish it depended on would either have been destroyed along with the base, or floated in the endless universe.
However, by coincidence, he stayed by Ruan Xi's side, and next to Ruan Xi, there was a mature tree of life.
"He's been purified!"
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian said this almost at the same time, without any difference. They saw the same surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes.
"It was the tree that purified him. Back when we were on Funong Star, we obtained the energy core of a mutant vine. After it was purified by the tree, I was able to absorb the energy within it and practice. This is the special ability of the Tree of Life, and no one can replace it!"
But it just happened that this alien parasite came to a mature tree of life, and was purified unknowingly, becoming a completely new species.
"No! This may not be a coincidence, but a choice of life. It does not want to be destroyed, so it tries its best to move in the direction of life. Only he succeeded." The other alien parasites all failed.
So, he was the only one who survived.
"To be more precise, this is the fusion of energy and life forms, a fusion across species. Xiaoxi, you have unintentionally opened a new door. This may be the key to upgrading your level in the plane you are in."
"So awesome?"
It just feels incredible!
