Cattail Fly (9)
Seeing Xia Yanguo plucking feathers, Jun Xiaoyi didn't know what expression to make.
Tell her to stop being so stingy. It would be a waste to keep these things. It would be a good use of them if they were used to feed the kids like Xixi. But if I let her take them away as she pleased, it would feel weird, as if I were being taken advantage of.
Jun Xiaoyi had no choice but to turn his head away and pretend not to see anything. He raised his hand and pressed the mechanism of the Star Altar.
The clacking sound of the gears drowned out the vibrations coming from all directions. Shi Jianxia hurriedly put away several large boxes full of insect crystals and rare minerals, rushed to Jun Xiaoyi, and prepared to run away.
The stone slab next to the Star Altar opened, revealing a long and narrow staircase. It was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen. After it was opened, a cold and damp smell wafted out.
The vibrations continued to come. Shi Jianxia looked at the dark entrance and hesitated, "Can we get out from here?"
She could guess that this place was under a high platform. Judging from the height of the building, it was already quite deep. If they went any deeper, if the masked man hammered it down, the two of them would be crushed to death underground.
Jun Xiaoyi didn't give her a chance to hesitate. He put away the Star Altar, grabbed her wrist and walked downstairs.
A damp and cold breath hit him in the face, and Shi Jianxia's teeth chattered. He felt that it was abnormally cold down there.
Jun Xiaoyi seemed unaware and walked down the stairs quickly and hurriedly, but it did not feel like he was running for his life, but rather that he was in a hurry to get somewhere.
Star core.
These two words popped up in Shi Jianxia's mind.
The doctor asked her to seize the sixth star core. Number Four and others had the same goal as him. Jun Xiaoyi didn't want the star core to fall into the hands of Higanbana, so she must take the star core with her when she escapes.
What she found quite strange was that Jun Xiaoyi did not carry such an important thing as the star core with him, nor did he hide it in a secret place. Instead, he left it in King's Landing, like putting out a bait, waiting for the red spider lily to take the hook so that he could catch everyone in the future.
The doctor doesn't look like the fish that Jiang Taigong caught at all. There must be other reasons.
She looked up at Jun Xiaoyi's ears with earrings, but they were empty. He had stored the star core fragments.
It seems that as long as she doesn't want to fall out with Jun Xiaoyi, she can't take the sixth star core away.
Shi Jianxia was not in a hurry and decided to wait and see.
The two men had been gone for only a few seconds when the tightly closed stone door made a low click, shook awkwardly, and then collapsed with a loud bang.
The heavy stone slab hit the ground with a loud bang, shaking the entire space.
The masked man stood outside the door, ignoring the flying smoke and dust, looking at the empty underground space, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Number Four and the disheveled Number Thirteen stood behind him, their actions clearly acting as his henchmen.
"Lord Feiyi, the person ran away." No. 13 frowned.
Number Four glanced at her discreetly.
Anyone with eyes could see that the little mouse that had sneaked in here had escaped through another hole.
He kept his mouth shut and refrained from making any foolish remarks.
The man whom No. 13 called Master Feiyi did not respond. His eyes looked around the tomb and finally stopped at a certain place.
The green energy threads rushed out, intertwined and gathered into a huge battle axe, chopping heavily towards the direction of the underground passage!
Dust flew up. Number Thirteen covered his mouth and nose, took two steps back in disgust, and muttered to Number Four beside him, "Didn't Number Seven come too? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"
Before, if Lord Feiyi had not said that Number Seven had entered King's Landing, she would not have needed to take action when that madman was at his strongest, and thus lose face in front of Lord Feiyi.
Thinking of this, No. 13 was filled with hatred again. No. 5 went to Nan Teng Star and disappeared out of thin air. The bastard No. 7 even complained to the doctor, saying that No. 5 had snatched the second star core from her.
If she were to say, the disappearance of Number Five and the Second Star Core must be related to Number Seven!
That guy might have colluded with No. 9 and killed No. 5 together.
Number Four glanced at Number Thirteen again, then calmly looked away.
Even the Doctor rarely interferes with Number Seven's actions. Given her cunning personality, she might have already infiltrated the enemy and is about to touch the core of the star.
-
As Shi Jianxia expected, Jun Xiaoyi did not take her away directly, but went to find the sixth star core that had been hidden by the Jun family.
Dark blue diamond-shaped crystals floated in the air, with blue starlight spinning at high speed on their surface, like servants surrounding a king, never leaving his side.
Behind the core of the star, there seems to be an energy vortex. Because the energy ripples are not obvious, Shi Jianxia cannot tell whether the external energy vortex overlaps with the core of the star, or whether the energy escape is caused by the intersection of the power of the core of the star itself.
Shi Jianxia felt a little strange and didn't understand why Jun Xiaoyi brought him to find the star core. Although the previous banter had eased the tense atmosphere between the two, they still had a relationship of distrust between them in essence.
The star core is the most important bargaining chip in Jun Xiaoyi's hand. He threw it in front of her so easily. Aren't you afraid that she will snatch the star core and run away?
Jun Xiaoyi seemed to know what she was thinking, and said in an ambiguous tone, "My ancestors built King's Landing here because this star core cannot be moved."
Otherwise, why would they build a city in this desolate wilderness? Do they really think the whole family is born to love a secluded life?
It's just that I have my own agenda.
Unfortunately, the Jun family obtained the star core but were unable to use its power. They guarded the treasure for hundreds of years but ultimately gained nothing and lost their entire family.
"What do you mean?" Shi Jianxia asked back.
The first and second star cores she had seen could be moved at will, and had been chewed and eaten by the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Jun Xiaoyi looked at the star core that contained enormous energy and said calmly, "Behind it, there's a worm vortex."
As if feeling that the word "worm vortex" wasn't enough of a deterrent, he emphasized, "SS-level worm vortex."
Shi Jianxia widened his eyes slightly, "What level?"
"SS level." Jun Xiaoyi answered patiently.
Shock and ecstasy surged over Shi Jianxia.
SS-level insect vortex!
If I give this to the kids, how many levels will they reach?
But soon, she calmed down.
The secret that the cubs can devour the insect vortex cannot be exposed, at least not at this stage.
Then, she keenly realized that something was wrong. "In that case, why did you bring me here? We have people chasing us. If they block us here, you're doomed."
According to Jun Xiaoyi, the Jun family discovered the sixth star core and established King's Landing here, which means that the star core had blocked the exit of the vortex at that time.
A rough calculation shows that this SS-level insect vortex has existed for at least hundreds of years.
Jun Xiaoyi looked down at her, his strange blood-red pupils suddenly becoming frantic and terrifying. He approached Shi Jianxia fiercely, almost touching her nose. "Of course it's you, move it away!"
In an instant, a chill ran from the soles of Shi Jianxia's feet to the top of his head.
The boy's breath became strange again, the corners of his lips curled up, his pupils were bloodshot, and his cold breath hit his face, making people feel creepy.
Senbai's knuckles pressed against Shi Jianxia's cheek, stroking it gently in a strange way.
He said slowly, "Only you can move it so that I can regain my strength and get you out."
Shi Jianxia realized that the symbiosis between Jun Xiaoyi and the cattail fly was not that simple. This guy might have been lurking deep in his consciousness, just waiting for the right opportunity to invade his body and break the barrier that bound it with the star core.
She pinched Jun Xiaoyi's wrist and pushed him away forcefully. She took a few steps back and said with a wary look, "What do you mean only I can move it? I don't understand."
Jun Xiaoyi's tongue licked his lips lightly, his eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light.
"You can, eat it."
These six short words made Shi Jianxia's heart leap into his throat.
Jun Xiaoyi had just been asking her how to use the power of the star core, but now she said that she could eat the star core.
It seems that the memories of both parties are not the same.
"How to eat it?" Shi Jianxia pretended to be stupid.
Jun Xiaoyi was obviously a little impatient with her many questions. His blood-red pupils narrowed slightly, and in the blink of an eye he appeared in front of Shi Jianxia, grabbed her neck and threw her hard onto the star core.
His back was hit against the hard surface of the crystal, and Shi Jianxia gasped in pain, with saline solution dripping from the corners of his eyes.
Being so close to the star core and the worm vortex, she could feel the tremendous power behind her, as well as another cold and dangerous aura.
She had a hunch that this star core could not be moved, and even if it was moved, the insect vortex must be eliminated, otherwise the entire Baipu Star would be caught in a terrible insect tide.
An SS-level worm vortex means that its spatial stability can support SS-level Zergs to cross the universe. There are only a handful of worm vortexes of this level in the entire Federation, and the planets where they appear have all collapsed without exception.
"Give it to me, eat it."
'Jun Xiaoyi' approached again, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes, as if saying 'If you don't eat it, I will eat you'.
Shi Jianxia was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. She opened her mouth and uttered a syllable with difficulty, "Okay."
Jun Xiaoyi was obviously satisfied with her answer, so he let go of her hand and took a step back.
Shi Jianxia slipped to the ground, his throat was burning with pain, and he coughed violently several times but still couldn't get better.
"Hurry up." Jun Xiaoyi urged.
Shi Jianxia got up from the ground and summoned the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" sensed the star core, and the pages trembled slightly, but it seemed to have realized something. It was not as eager as before when it absorbed the star core, but hovered quietly in the air, waiting for the master's order.
Shi Jianxia planned to let the mimic eat the insect vortex first, but this intention must not be noticed by Jun Xiaoyi, otherwise he would definitely press her head against the star core.
what to do?
At such a close distance, it is impossible for the mimic to absorb the insect vortex without being noticed.
Moreover, the highest level of insect vortex that the mimics have absorbed is only level A, and the absorption process takes about two to three seconds.
A-level and SS-level span two levels, so the time required for absorption will definitely be longer.
As his mind raced, Shi Jianxia came up with an idea.
Under Jun Xiaoyi's intense gaze, the pages of the Classic of Mountains and Seas flipped rustlingly, and one mimicry after another emerged in the vast space.
In just two or three seconds, the entire underground space was extremely crowded.
Jun Xiaoyi pulled the deer away, glaring at him, and said, "Does it take so many mimics to eat a star core? You better not play tricks on me."
Shi Jianxia said hoarsely, "It's such a big one. If you don't put some mimicry in it, how long will it take to finish eating it?"
She deliberately said, "The people behind are coming soon, shut up and don't bother me!"
'Jun Xiaoyi': "..."
Your life is in his hands, yet you dare to be so arrogant?
Shi Jianxia didn't look at him. Instead, he directed the children to gather around the star core and said seriously, "One bite each. Don't crowd. Take a bite from the one in front and the one behind will take your turn. We'll divide it equally."
The cubs couldn't eat the star core, but under her command they still rushed forward and surrounded the entire star core tightly.
In the chaos, Gonggong, who had turned into a palm-sized being, hung on the forelimb of a certain creature and pounced on the SS-level insect vortex behind the sixth star core!
Boom!
Cold energy ripples appeared, and Shi Jianxia Xin exclaimed "Oh no!", but before she could step back, a white hand pierced her chest from the back.
Blood splattered out and landed on Jun Xiaoyi's cold and crazy face.
He stuck out his tongue and licked a drop of warm blood. "Are you looking for death?"
The next moment, a blanket of green silk threads swept in from the passage behind.
