Chapter 40: Star Amber Tears
For these battle-hardened legionnaires, when they hear the word "mushroom", what comes to mind is definitely not stir-fried porcini or chicken mushroom in fresh soup.
It was the scarlet fog covering the entire front-line battlefield.
The ruler of the empire, Aiden Eslan, swung a sword in the fog, and the tremendous mental power attached to the sword energy, sweeping forward like a devastating force.
The thick fog dissipated, and the densely packed insects lying on the ground were all split in half. They had no power to resist and were completely wiped out.
Some people say that the thick fog is the embodiment of His Majesty's spiritual power, which directly suppresses and shatters the Zerg's consciousness and violently crushes them.
Some people also said that the thick fog was one of the skills of His Majesty's spiritual body. It was a large-scale, indiscriminate group attack with effects such as paralysis and stiffness, which made the Zerg unable to move and could only wait for death on the spot.
No wonder people always speculate.
After all, no one has ever seen what the current emperor's spiritual body looks like.
His own SSS-level mental strength was enough to despise any enemy in the world that dared to stand in his way, and he didn't need to summon any spirit bodies to coordinate attacks.
According to the Etheran family, most of the spiritual bodies that have been exposed are plants.
The commander of the Third Legion joked, "Could it be a giant mushroom?"
A mouthful of spores comes out, and whoever it sprays will die.
No one was so scared that they dared to eat the mushrooms in the hot pot that night, for fear that they would be unlucky and die with the commander of the Third Legion.
**
The commander of the Third Legion spoke wildly, but is still alive and well.
Gu Changfeng felt like he was about to choke to death on the tea.
no? ? ? ?
Are there really mushrooms in the spiritual lineage of the Eselan family?
He stared at An Zhi, then looked at Gu Jinyan, but found that Gu Jinyan also had a confused look on his face, obviously knowing nothing about the "mushroom" that An Zhi mentioned.
"What are these mushrooms you're talking about?" Gu Changfeng's voice was a little dry.
An Zhi had no idea how big a storm his innocent word "mushroom" had caused.
She thought about it seriously, her face wrinkled like a bun: "It's... it's a mushroom that glows and is very warm. It has been following An An all the time, but it disappeared when I woke up..."
As she spoke, a hint of confusion and grievance flashed in her eyes.
Gu Changfeng's expression changed unpredictably.
He knew that An Zhi's identity was extraordinary, and he also knew that she was surrounded by many mysteries.
But if the mushroom is her spiritual body, it can awaken spontaneously at such a young age.
She is Etherland again.
This is no coincidence.
Whose blood is flowing in her body?
**
Just then, the door of the room was pushed open and the owner of Qizhen Pavilion walked in.
"My two distinguished guests, sorry for the long wait." The old man said calmly.
His gaze stayed on An Zhi for a moment, then, as if sensing something, slowly turned to the aquamarine pendant on her neck.
"I wonder what the two of you want to do with me?"
Gu Changfeng collected his thoughts, suppressed his shock, and said straight to the point: "We would like to see your store's 'Star Amber Tears'."
The old man was silent for a moment, and finally waved his hand, signaling the tour guide to get it.
Soon, a shimmering oval crystal was respectfully presented.
This crystal emits a faint luster and is as pure as a teardrop.
An Zhi curiously stretched out his little hand and touched the Star Amber Tears.
The crystal emitted a soft glow.
It leaped slightly, as if it had some kind of connection with An Zhi.
Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "It seems we have a great connection with it."
The old man looked at An Zhi, then at Gu Changfeng, and finally sighed and nodded.
**
After leaving Qizhen Pavilion, the three of them found a small restaurant to sit down.
Gu Changfeng placed the newly acquired Star Amber Tears on the table and began to examine it carefully.
There were indeed faint fluctuations of spiritual power flowing on the surface of the crystal, but these fluctuations could not be said to have the exaggerated effect of "nourishing life".
"The process for summoning a spirit is as follows: First, you must concentrate and calm your mind, eliminating all distracting thoughts..."
While Gu Changfeng was still checking the Star Amber Tears, Gu Jinyan had already put on a stern face and began to recite word for word the standard procedure for summoning spirit bodies from the textbook as if he were reciting a book.
His voice is steady, his speech speed is neither fast nor slow, and every term is clear and standard, making him a perfect template.
An Zhi was originally listening eagerly, nodding his little head, trying to understand everything Gu Jinyan said.
But as she listened, her little face began to wrinkle slowly, and her eyes became confused.
So many words, so dizzying, so confusing...
What are "spiritual force transmission paths", "building spiritual force fields", "consciousness granularity alignment"...
For a little kid who is only a few years old, these words are even harder to understand than the Book of Heaven.
An Zhi was swinging his short legs out of boredom and accidentally glanced at the door.
A young man was walking in, wearing a simple linen robe and a wide hood.
He lowered his head, carefully found a corner to sit down, and ordered a meal.
The boy seemed to sense An Zhi's gaze. He raised his head suddenly, then lowered it quickly. He picked up the knife from the table and tossed it around on the table, as if performing some strange juggling act.
An Zhi's little mouth slowly opened into an O shape.
Gu Changfeng and Gu Jinyan noticed the young man almost at the same time.
His hood covered most of his face, and his demeanor was clearly unnatural.
Gu Changfeng calmly fiddled with the Star Amber Tears, letting it spin on the table, reflecting a little bit of starlight.
When the young man saw the Star Amber Tears, his eyes lit up and the hand holding the dinner knife stopped.
He hesitated for a moment, then quietly, in an extremely unnatural way, pretending to move his chair unintentionally, a little closer to An Zhi and the others.
Gu Jinyan’s “teaching” was still going on when the boy suddenly stood up from his seat.
He walked in a hurry, as if he was rushing somewhere.
However, just as he passed by An Zhi's table, his feet slipped and he staggered, about to fall to the ground.
The boy subconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to hold the edge of the table to steady himself.
Piaji, the boy lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Their eyes met.
An Zhi tilted his head.
What's that called? She was scammed?
The young man stood up awkwardly, his body stiff, not knowing whether to move forward or backward. He raised his head, and his eyes from under the hood met Gu Changfeng's gaze briefly.
There was a flash of panic in those eyes, but it was quickly replaced by forced calmness.
"Sorry... I, I didn't stand firmly." The boy explained stutteringly.
Gu Jinyan still maintained his posture of reciting without even raising his eyelids:
"...Under the continuous transmission of mental energy, a basic force field is constructed."
Only An Zhi blinked curiously.
"Is he...hungry?"
She asked Gu Changfeng in a baby voice.
