Chapter 162-Disgusted?
"Su! Xiao! Tang!" Xie Zhao's fur instantly exploded, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He tried to straighten himself up, but Chu Linyuan's hand on his back held him firmly, preventing him from moving. He could only glare at the camera in grief and indignation, "Turn it off! Now! Immediately! Otherwise, I'll disconnect you from the internet... uh, disconnect you from your willpower!"
"Oh? Really?" Luo Hongyi's voice came out lazily, teasingly. She was examining the "Nine Nether Smiling Madness" plants, which had become even more eerie under the shockwaves of the explosion. A poisonous mist lingered around her fingertips, and her red lips curled slightly. "You idiot, are you sure you want to disconnect Xiao Tangdou's internet connection? She just livestreamed the entire process, and it got tons of hits. The wish power she earned is enough to buy you ten bottles of Soul-Fixing Pills."
Xie Zhao: “…” A breath was stuck in his chest.
Chu Linyuan seemed not to hear the noise around him. His cold eyes swept across Su Tang's excited face, then glanced at Luo Hongyi, and finally fell on his palm pressing on Xie Zhao's back.
He withdrew his hand extremely slowly but firmly, and the nurturing evil spirit was also cut off.
"Noisy." Those two cold words seemed to bring this farce to an end. He turned and walked towards the skeleton of the Rune Array Tower, which stood silently in the aftermath of the war, with flowing starlight and dragon patterns.
Xie Zhao felt a hollowness on his back. The reassuring warmth suddenly vanished, leaving him feeling empty inside. He angrily picked up the Jinghong Fu Pen from the ground and drew a large X in the air in the direction of Su Tang and Luo Hongyi. "Two devilish women! I'm going to seek justice from Uncle Chen!"
"Uncle Chen is busy," Tie Niu interrupted in a muffled voice. His massive frame was grunting as he dragged a twisted, smoking piece of crimson Burning Sky Crystal Armor to the tower's base. "Uncle Chen said... melt these iron lumps... and add a layer of skin to the tower... to make it stronger!"
He patted the scalding hot metal, his bronze skin turned slightly red in the high temperature, and star-like patterns flowed, as if absorbing the remaining fire evil power in it.
Xie Zhao's eyes swiveled as he looked at the massive Burning Heaven Crystal Armor imbued with pure Fire Evil power, then at the icy, star-patterned iron frame of the Talisman Array Tower. His peach blossom eyes instantly lit up, "Great idea! Fire Evil melding with Star Evil, a world of ice and fire! Brother! How about we add an 'Eternal Burning Heaven' special effect to the tower's base? It'll definitely blind the Immortal Alliance!"
Chu Linyuan was standing at the tower's base, his fingertips condensing a mysterious icy aura as he carefully repaired the tiny cracks left by the previous attack from the Burning Heaven Cannon. Hearing this, he didn't even turn around, his cold voice unwavering, "Fancy."
"How can it be called fancy!" Xie Zhao immediately jumped over and pointed his Jinghong Fu Pen at the crimson crystal armor, "This is called strategic deterrence! Tactical aesthetics!
Think about it, next time someone comes knocking on our door, our tower will flash red, bringing with it the signature Burning Sky Valley special effects. How scary! And it can also save some talisman power!"
Chu Linyuan did not stop repairing the crack, but turned his head slightly and glanced at Xie Zhao with cold eyes, as if to say: You are noisy.
Xie Zhao's neck shrank when he was looked at by him, but he was still determined. He took a step closer, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of temptation: "Brother... look, the Chaos Fire Evil remaining in this crystal armor... and your Dragon Evil... might resonate? If tempered, maybe it can increase the fire resistance of the Immortal Slayer Spear? It will be easier to stab those who play with fire in the future!"
The profound icy aura at Chu Linyuan's fingertips paused imperceptibly. His gaze swept across the crimson crystal armor, then returned to the Immortal-Slaying Spear in his hand. A flash of thought flashed through his icy eyes.
Obviously, Xie Zhao's pragmatic reason of "increasing fire resistance" impressed him more than any "tactical aesthetics".
"It's up to you." It was still two cold words, but it was considered as tacit approval of Xie Zhao's "waste recycling and reuse" plan.
"Understood!" Xie Zhao's face lit up with a smile. With a flick of his Jinghong Talisman Pen, several traction talismans flew out, enveloping the massive remains of the Burning Heaven Crystal Armor. He directed Tie Niu, "Stupid Niu! Help! Move this treasure to the smelting area at the base of the tower! Be careful! Don't scatter the Chaos Fire Evil within!"
The setting sun sank completely beneath the sinister clouds, and the chill of the abyss grew thicker. Several bonfires lit in the square, dispelling the darkness and smoke.
Tie Niu contributed several pieces of treasured, fatty abyss rhino meat, which were roasted over the fire with a sizzling sound. The rich aroma of the meat mixed with the "Star Tear Fragrance Powder" provided by Luo Hongyi made people's mouths water.
Everyone gathered around the campfire. Little White Deer, holding the now-calm Bunny, nibbled at the barbecue Su Tang handed her. His clear eyes occasionally glanced worriedly toward the core of the abyss.
The Moon-Eating Rabbit squinted its ruby eyes, enjoying the heat from the barbecue.
Xie Zhao gnawed unrefinedly at a roasted rhino leg, his mouth dripping with oil. As he ate, he nudged Chu Linyuan, who sat upright and methodically slicing meat beside him. "Brother, try this! Tie Niu's exclusive secret recipe, with Sister Luo's poisonous... uh, spices! I guarantee it's a hundred times better than your icy barbecue!" He handed his half-eaten, greasy piece of meat directly to Chu Linyuan.
Chu Linyuan froze in his tracks as he cut the barbecue. His cold eyes fell on the piece of meat before him, still stained with teeth marks and saliva, then slowly moved to Xie Zhao's greasy face, which was full of "Praise me now!", and his thin lips were pressed into a cold, hard line.
He silently pushed the neatly cut and clean pieces of meat on his plate a little further away, then very slowly picked up a piece of uncut raw meat next to it, skewered it with the tip of the Immortal-killing Spear... and placed it on the fire.
Everyone: "..." The air suddenly became quiet.
"Puff!" Luo Hongyi was the first one who couldn't help laughing and was shaking with laughter.
Su Tang's photo stone camera was fixed on the piece of raw meat on the tip of Chu Linyuan's Immortal-killing Spear, which looked particularly "mighty and domineering". She was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that her shoulders were shaking.
Tie Niu scratched his head and said in a muffled voice, "Big Brother...does the meat need to be roasted thoroughly..."
Bai Xiaolu's clear eyes were also full of surprise.
