Chapter 118 Believe in Science
Mo Qilin and Zhu Jiuyin started a one-on-one PK match.
After the real fight started, Zhang Moyu discovered that this pirated Zhu Jiuyin was not as strong as he thought. If he was given a little more time, he could kill it in this tomb.
At this moment, the people who had retreated hurried back, and there were some noisy sounds behind them.
"What the hell is that? It looks like a monkey with a human face. It's so scary."
Fatty Wang ran and shouted, explaining the situation to Zhang Moyu.
"There's a huge group of them chasing and biting us. We can't kill them all."
Xie Yuchen spoke immediately afterwards.
"The road is blocked. Let's climb the bronze tree and blast our way out twenty meters to the left."
This tomb chamber was hollowed out of a mountain, and that place happened to be a weak point. Coupled with the huge branches growing wildly from the bronze tree itself, this method of getting out was completely feasible.
“Roar—”
The agile Black Qilin took the time to roar towards them, then hooked his sharp claws and slammed Zhu Jiuyin to the side.
Xie Yuchen and his group rushed to this gap and climbed up the bronze tree. Behind them, a group of monkeys with agile bodies, as if wearing human face masks, were chasing them closely.
Wuxie and Wang Pangzi, two relatively less agile people, were picked up by the more agile Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling, and rushed up in a few whooshes.
With a loud bang, they successfully blasted open the passage to the outside, but also succeeded in bringing the tomb to the brink of collapse.
It was pouring rain outside and the water level was rising rapidly inside.
After Xie Yuchen and his group left, Zhang Moyu found an opportunity to knock down the bronze tree, pinning Zhu Jiuyin under the tree, with a thick branch piercing through its snake body.
After confirming that the creature was dying and definitely couldn't escape, Zhang Moyu crawled out of the hole that the few people had blasted open, with a head full of rubble.
Sniffing the air, he followed the direction they left.
After Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qiling escaped from the hollowed-out mountain, they found a cave to shelter from the rain and take a short rest, waiting for Zhang Moyu to join them.
Generally speaking, caves in the mountains are not easy to find. They are either dark and damp with snakes, insects, rats and ants, or occupied by wild animals. This cave is the latter.
Looking at the two big tigers snuggling together on the haystack deep in the cave, without interfering with their group, Wuxie and Fatty Wang were both excited and nervous, turning their heads to look at them from time to time.
This is much more exciting than watching tigers in the zoo, and it is also thanks to the young man, otherwise they would probably just be food for the big cats.
This cave was found by Zhang Qiling. After entering, he saw two tigers that had not left. He went up to them and whispered a few words to them. Then another tiger gave them a loving hug. He conquered these two jungle kings so easily.
This ability makes others envious and a little jealous.
After Zhang Moyu came in, he saw a group of people gathered together, digging out some half-dry wood from the corners of the cave, as if they were preparing to make a fire to keep warm.
When he sensed someone coming, the first one to look was Hei Xia Zi.
After seeing that Zhang Moyu was wearing a simple T-shirt and black pants, and didn't look at all disheveled except for being wet by the rain, the light in Hei Xiazi's eyes gradually disappeared.
Oh, another missed opportunity to make money...
His heart aches.
"Brother Mo, are you done? Are you not hurt?"
Xie Yuchen wanted to stand up and go closer to see how he was doing, but Zhang Moyu casually held his shoulders and sat down cross-legged beside him.
"It's okay. That Zhu Jiuyin only has a physical form. He is much weaker than I thought."
Zhang Moyu did not hide his sarcasm at all. It could only be said that Lao Yang's vision limited his imagination. The Zhu Jiuyin that Lao Yang used as a means of revenge and finally transformed into a giant was really weak.
He now regretted why he was so cautious. This weakened version of Zhu Jiuyin could be handed over to Zhang Qiling to deal with. He was a good opponent for sparring and training, and it could also allow him to test the results of his studies during this period.
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have wasted my spiritual energy transforming into a Qilin.
Now that the Dharma Ending Age is gradually deepening, the spiritual energy is becoming increasingly thin. It will take him three to five years to recover his spiritual energy after this battle.
When Zhang Qiling saw Zhang Moyu sitting down next to him, he reached out and held his wrist, and checked his physical condition by feeling his pulse.
Zhang Moyu felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar, but at that time the two people's positions were swapped.
After confirming that he was not injured and only had some mild symptoms of qi deficiency, Zhang Qiling felt relieved and continued to try to make fire by drilling wood with a tree fork.
The rain was so heavy and they hadn't taken any waterproof measures in advance, so everything in their backpacks was soaked and their fire-making tools were gone.
Xie Yuchen and his two companions brought three lighters in total, two of which were damaged and soaked in water, and one was lost.
No matter how waterproof the tinderboxes in Hei Xia Zi and Wang Pang Zi's bags were, they couldn't withstand such heavy rain.
In the end, they had no choice but to use the clumsy method to make a fire.
Hei Xia Zi was holding his small dagger and hitting it hard against the black gold ancient sword, trying to use the sparks produced to ignite a pile of sawdust that had been shaved in advance.
Zhang Qiling chose to try to make fire by rubbing two sticks together.
Wuxie and Jie Yuchen took apart a flashlight, hoping to see if they could start a fire using the wires and batteries inside.
The remaining Fatty Wang and a few of the Jie guys were responsible for cutting wood chips, and also helped to block the wind and hold up the sparks.
Seeing that this group of people were busy with their own things and went to so much trouble just to make a fire, Zhang Moyu twisted his fingertips, and a small flame slightly larger than the one produced by a lighter appeared at his fingertips.
Grab a handful of wood chips, ignite them, and the small flame quickly goes out.
It’s not that he didn’t want to look cool, he just snapped his fingers and the flames swirled, easily lighting a bonfire.
But he had just used up a lot of spiritual energy and couldn't do it at all!
Zhang Moyu sighed inwardly and placed the handful of burning sawdust in the center of the sawdust pile. Fatty Wang didn't have time to marvel at his miraculous operation. He hurriedly blew air and added fuel, and finally managed to rescue the spark.
The orange flames gradually rose, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Mo, I didn't expect that besides being able to transform, you could also perform magical arts. How did you do that just now? Do you think I can learn from you?"
He gave me an innocent and expectant look.
"cannot."
Zhang Moyu had a smile on his face, but cruelly destroyed Wuxie's dream of becoming an immortal.
"You have to believe in science. With the advent of the Dharma Ending Age, our world will only become more and more materialistic. My transformation into a Qilin consumes the spiritual energy I've accumulated over countless years. I doubt you'll ever see me again."
When Wuxie heard him say that, he subconsciously thought that he was playing a joke on him, but on second thought, it seemed to make sense, and the boss must know more than a newbie like him, so he decided to put his hysteria behind him.
Although he felt a little sorry, seeing the living mythical beast Qilin with his own eyes was a blessing that ordinary people could not obtain in ten lifetimes, so he was already very content.
Speaking of incarnations, Zhang Moyu suddenly thought of Zhang Qiling, who was forced to take medical treatment and was fed with blood concentration-enhancing potions.
The blood concentration of this young official has barely reached the passing line. Shouldn't he make some preparations?
Zhang Moyu looked at Zhang Qiling who was seriously trying to build a fire, and thought that he could let him try when he got back.
The main reason is that the new little Qilin does not need much spiritual energy to transform, and more means mean more protection.
After being able to transform, it doesn’t matter if you can’t use this ability because you don’t have enough spiritual energy stored.
After this, your physical endurance and growth limit will be greatly improved, and this incidental benefit is enough.
For the Zhang family, the transformation into a Qilin can be considered as secondary development, but the threshold is a bit high.
"Does the Dharma Ending Age have any impact on you?"
When the clever Xie Yuchen heard the term "Dharma Ending Age", the first people that came to his mind were the two members of the Zhang family in front of him.
Not to mention those monsters and ghosts, the Zhang family has a long lifespan, an ageless appearance, all insects avoid it, and all beasts welcome it. Now, they can transform into Qilin and light fire out of thin air...
As expected, these people don’t care much about science!
“There is an impact, but it shouldn’t be that big.”
How big the impact will be in the end depends on the attitude of the world consciousness towards them.
