Chapter 22 Red Blood Eyes You...look...so pretty! ...
So, Mu Jingchen put on the aqua blue mecha.
After leaving the flight cabin, for the first time, we could see the patterns on the weeds and leaves so clearly with our naked eyes without the need for any instruments, just like seeing through a magnifying glass.
These weeds are almost as tall as a person! And these trees are so tall that it’s hard to even crane your neck to look up at them!
From time to time, a few leaves larger than human faces fell from the sky. Su Shui controlled the mecha to pick up a leaf, and the color on the mecha's hand faded a little.
"The alienated trees here are highly corrosive, so please don't touch these flowers, plants and trees," Su Shui reminded.
The others responded and walked forward cautiously.
Su Shui's eyes occasionally swept across the mutated mushrooms on both sides. The mushrooms here were more gorgeous than the ones he saw at the beginning. The alluring purple color even danced with the dust in the air, as if it was a deliberate temptation. Su Shui was a little distracted when he didn't pay attention.
She began to deliberately control herself from paying attention to the mutated mushrooms and focused on following the team towards their destination.
At this time, a tall figure began to stagger. It was Zhang Juehuang who was walking in front. He looked exhausted as if he had not eaten enough.
Su Shui thought he was hallucinating, but the next moment, Zhang Juehuang leaned on Mu Jingchen's back and passed out in a daze.
Mu Jingchen turned around and supported Zhang Juehuang. Fang Qingshan came over to help immediately. "No, he is in the mecha. I can't find the reason why he is unconscious. We have to open the mecha first!"
Xu Meng: "We can't open the mecha. Once it's opened, it will be easily corroded and infected by the mutants. Doing so will only result in more harm than good."
Mu Jingchen said, "We can take him to the flight cabin for inspection. It's safe there."
Fang Qingshan and Xu Meng nodded.
When they were about to carry Zhang Juehuang over, Zhang Juehuang's mecha moved, and he said weakly: "I'm not sick, I'm just a little weak. I haven't had money to eat recently, and I didn't eat enough because of training... I'm hungry..."
Everyone: "......"
Xu Meng kicked Zhang Juehuang and said, "Why are you, a rich man, yelling about not having money to eat?"
Jin Duobao added, "Yeah! You are from a wealthy family after all. Your monthly allowance is enough for others to buy a house. Why are you crying about being poor here?"
Zhang Juehuang replied aggrievedly, "I have saved all my money in my brain. I have saved it to death."
"I've been relying on Jingchen's charity these past few days...so many people ate the prey we hunted, but I still didn't eat enough..." Zhang Juehuang's eyes were filled with a faint light, and he looked so pitiful.
Everyone turned their eyes to Mu Jingchen, as if Mu Jingchen was deliberately abusing Zhang Juehuang.
Misao Yingjun jumped a little, "Mu Jingchen, your good brother is in trouble, why are you still withholding his food?"
Mu Jingchen was not affected at all. "He asked for it himself. He said he wanted to experience the feeling of being poor and destitute, so as to stimulate his desire for victory."
Everyone: “???”
What does poverty have to do with victory?
Is it true that the poorer a person is, the stronger he is? Can he win if he is hungry? This is not right...
As it turned out, Zhang Juehuang fainted because he was so hungry.
Xu Meng: "Okay, Qingshan, take Zhang Juehuang to the flight cabin to find something to eat. Come back to us when he's feeling better."
Fang Qingshan: "Okay."
Misa Eijun always felt that this matter was a little strange, but he couldn't figure out what was strange, so he secretly asked everyone one by one, "What stimulated Zhang Juehuang?"
Mu Jingchen: "You are too talkative."
Jin Duobao: "You have a big mouth."
Jin Duoling: "You...I don't know."
Finally he looked at Su Shui, who shut him up with a look.
......
They were standing at the entrance of a cave, which was filled with the corpses of insects and beasts. Unknown flowers of death had grown on the corpses, and the blood-red color was somewhat shocking to the eyes.
What's even more terrifying is that these flowers of death are quickly absorbing the bones and blood of the corpse, which means that these flowers growing at the entrance of the cave can eat people.
This was the first time in Su Shui's life that he had seen the extremely beautiful Piranha Plant. It was true that the more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it was.
"The source of the mutated creatures is inside the cave. The things inside are ten thousand times more terrifying than here." Mu Jingchen looked straight at the cave entrance and said lightly.
He closed his eyes again, and used his senses to destroy the Piranha Plant at the entrance of the cave. Because he had used up too much of his senses on the way, Mu Jingchen was a little overwhelmed. He whispered, "The source of the alien creatures is extremely powerful. You can't go in. I can feel it luring me in."
The carnivorous plant withered, and Mu Jingchen stopped everyone, especially looking at Su Shui for a second longer.
But at this time, Su Shui already felt an alluring force attracting her, and the blood in her body was surging uncontrollably again, just like the feeling she had last time in the simulation training room.
Her mind was affected and a mysterious voice kept echoing in her mind.
"Come on! I've been waiting for you for a long time. Here is your favorite power~"
"Inside, there is the power I need." Su Shui's eyes were empty and he walked towards the cave.
Mu Jingchen held her back, "You can't go over there, it's an illusion!"
Xu Meng, who was behind, realized something was wrong and walked up to Su Shui. Seeing her dazed look, she asked, "Why did she suddenly become like this?"
"What happened in Sushui?" Jin Duoling asked with concern.
Mu Jingchen looked at the cave worriedly and said, "It's the things inside that are luring the Sushui River."
"Why doesn't that thing lure us over?" Jin Duoling asked.
Xu Meng was thoughtful. These alienated creatures were very greedy. They really liked people with high perception…
Could it be that Su Shui is...
"No, this place is too dangerous. We must stop our actions immediately and go back now!"
Jin Duoling and Jin Duobao pulled Su Shui back. The things in the cave noticed that they wanted to leave, and they released their strong perception even more recklessly.
This feeling constantly stimulated the power in Su Shui's body, causing her to completely lose consciousness. Su Shui shook off Jin Duobao and Jin Duoling and rushed into the cave in the blink of an eye.
This is the choice of the mysterious power in her body.
"Su Shui!" Jin Duoling called out.
Mu Jingchen looked at Su Shui's back and turned to Xu Meng and said calmly: "Teacher Xu Meng, please take the others back first. It's too dangerous here. You can't handle it. Leave it to me! I will bring Su Shui out."
Xu Meng: "Okay! Be sure to pay attention to safety!"
On the way back, Jin Duobao was a little worried, "Can Mu Jingchen really bring Su Shui out by himself?"
Jin Duoling held her hand and said, "Mu Jingchen is the only one here who has 5S level perception. If even he can't do it, then we have no chance. If we go over, we will only cause trouble for him."
Xu Meng thought so too, "Your sister is right, Mu Jingchen is a rare 5S-level genius, he will definitely bring Su Shui out."
Misa Eijun stretched his neck and looked anxiously into the cave, "Su Shui is a very strong fighter, he shouldn't die like this..."
…
Ten minutes later, Xu Meng and his friends came into the cabin and met Fang Qingshan and Zhang Juehuang. After eating half a box of bread, Zhang Juehuang looked much better.
For the rest of the time, they all stayed in the cabin waiting for Mu Jingchen to bring Su Shui out.
When Mu Jingchen came into the cave, he was surprised and shocked by the scene he saw inside.
Su Shui stood on the cliff, with a bottomless abyss in front of him. There was nothing in all directions, and dense reddish-brown light was shining in the huge space.
Mu Jingchen finally understood that these faint lights were the source of the alienation.
They are highly sentient creatures.
This cave is where they grow.
Creatures with the same high perception will attract each other. Facing these high-perception glimmers, the power in Mu Jingchen's body was also surging, but he was able to control it.
As for Su Shui, the power in her body seemed to have a fatal attraction to these faint light heads.
These reddish-brown glimmers wanted to claim her power for themselves.
Mu Jingchen frowned and called out Su Shui's name, trying to wake her up.
Su Shui heard the voice and turned around slowly. Her clear eyes had become evil and overbearing. She raised her hand slightly and pointed at Mu Jingchen, saying a few words, "You... look really good."
She walked slowly towards Mu Jingchen, and the group of reddish-brown lights behind her followed her in groups. When the distance got closer, Mu Jingchen could see the true appearance of these lights.
These glimmers of light look like eyes, blood-red eyes.
A chill suddenly rose in Mu Jingchen's heart.
These blood eyes wanted to wait for an opportunity to get close to Su Shui, so they gathered together and wanted to gather strength to fight against Su Shui. However, Mu Jingchen saw from the reaction of these blood eyes that they were afraid of Su Shui.
“Sizzle, sizzle—”
They also made a constant hissing sound.
Su Shui stopped, closed his eyes, then opened them again, stretched out one arm, and said impatiently, "It's so noisy."
At this moment, a terrible force quickly spread in the cave. Half of the blood-eyed creatures were killed or injured. After witnessing the power of Su Shui, the remaining half immediately flew to the abyss and hid.
Mu Jingchen's perception began to be suppressed by the power of Su Shui, and he shouted: "Wake up, Su Shui!"
Su Shui was unmoved. She really enjoyed the feeling now. The power in her body allowed her to control everything. Besides, there was a delicious meal in front of her.
Su Shui opened his palm towards Mu Jingchen's face and said coldly: "You are very beautiful, but, it's a pity."
"I want your power."
Just as Su Shui was about to absorb the perception in Mu Jingchen's body, Mu Jingchen suddenly took a step forward and accidentally touched Su Shui's lips.
Su Shui greedily craves for the other's power. She feels a pure breath entering her body, trying to calm her restless emotions. The surging power gradually becomes calm.
She fell into a deep sleep again, just like last time.
After those blood eyes hiding in the abyss sensed that Su Shui's power disappeared, they flew up from underground again. This time their target became Mu Jingchen.
While Mu Jingchen released his perception to attack these blood eyes, he ran out of the cave holding Su Shui.
After exiting the cave, all the blood eyes retreated. At this moment, Mu Jingchen's face turned pale and weak.
