Chapter 117: Incident in Yancheng (37)
When the cave entrance melted into a circle with a diameter of about three meters, everything seemed to stop.
Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the dark cave entrance, waiting for the culprit who caused all this to come in.
But after waiting for a long time, the thing hidden in the darkness still did not appear.
However, it’s not that there is no movement at all.
Like a carpet, the densely packed black beetles suddenly dispersed without any warning, one on top of another, desperately stepping on their companions, or flying or crawling, as if they were avoiding something terrible, forming a vacuum zone.
And that piece of vacuum is extending towards everyone little by little.
"It's that thing!"
The eldest sister was grabbing the flowers nervously, her voice trembling.
Hua Si knew that her elder sister was talking about the scorpion-tailed flying lizard, and judging from the confused expressions of the crowd, she and her elder sister were probably the only ones who had seen it.
After all, the current Bai Yuchuan is not the real Bai Yuchuan, and his original subordinates have long returned to the universe.
Looking at the empty area, Ji Zitian said with great confidence: "Captain, there is something there!"
Almost the moment she finished speaking.
A long, wet and sticky tongue was already close to her. Just as Ji Zitian was wrapped around by the long tongue and could even smell the increasingly strong fishy stench emanating from the scorpion-tailed flying lizard's mouth, the beads on her wrist lit up for a moment.
The scorpion-tailed flying lizard just opened its mouth wide to eat a dessert, but only sucked a ball of air into its mouth.
"She...how did she get here?!"
The eldest sister was so scared when she saw Ji Zitian suddenly appear at the foot of Yuanjing Mountain that she almost fell down.
She asked Huasi very worriedly, "Sister, do you think that thing will come to us?"
Huasi looked at the empty area, then looked at the beads on Ji Zitian's wrist, shook her head, her eyes shining: "No, but my things are here."
"Fuck! This sister also has extraordinary things!"
Seeing Ji Zitian suddenly appear behind him, Song Shi immediately understood what happened to her just now.
The greatest function of the extraordinary object B-13 Reincarnation Pearl appears to be escape. As long as there is no obstruction, it can teleport the host to the place farthest away from danger within a range of 1km.
However, there are many extraordinary creatures that can help the host escape, but this is not the reason why it is ranked 13th in the B sequence.
Its greatest function is actually to guide the way to life!
Now the Reincarnation Pearl has brought Ji Zitian to the foot of the mountain right below Hua Si and 2640, which means that the key to resolving the current crisis lies here.
But this made Fu Chenyue, Gong Lin, and Ji Zitian herself, who knew the inside story, a little confused.
Because around Ji Zitian, besides Song Shi and others who had ill intentions towards her, there was Yuan Zhi who beat the evolvers like he was beating his grandson.
For a while, I couldn't find where the so-called vitality was.
If Hua knew the inside story about B-13.
Maybe he will tell Ji Zitian that life is right next to you, right?
Her good brother has the cutting-edge technology to hide in space, so what does it matter if he hides one or two people?
Ji Zitian, who had escaped the disaster and suddenly came behind the crowd, began to seriously think about the hint given by B-13.
But others were not so lucky.
The food that was about to reach its mouth ran away. This was enough to arouse the violent nature of a creature like the scorpion-tailed flying lizard, which had been struggling on the edge of food and clothing all year round and always felt like it had not eaten because of its excellent digestive system.
Therefore, this time not only did its long tongue fly out again, it rolled up an evolver and stuffed it into its mouth, but it also swung its scorpion-like long tail, and the three evolvers were strung together like a string of candied haws.
The evolver had no time to react and his eyes almost popped out of his head as he looked at his chest that was pierced.
Then came the intense pain that made them want to faint.
However, they soon lost consciousness.
The others who were looking up at this scene almost watched their bodies, suspended in the air, skewered together, quickly dissolving from the point where their chests were pierced.
The flesh, blood and internal organs dripped onto the ground in large chunks like melted ice cream, but no black beetle came forward to enjoy them.
Then, the scorpion-tailed flying lizard swung its long tail again, and the three corpses were thrown away limply like umbrellas with big holes in them. The black beetles immediately scattered, trying their best to avoid the three corpses as if they were avoiding some filth.
As for why we should avoid it?
The answer is the black beetle that was unfortunately hit and is melting.
Things happened one after another, and in fact only a few seconds had passed.
But what happened in just a few seconds.
It was enough to let everyone present know that this creature, whose main body was almost invisible for some unknown reason, was definitely not an ordinary source beast!
……
……
"Chen Yue, is this the unknown source beast mentioned in the prison?"
After seeing that Ji Zitian was temporarily safe, Gong Lin thought of the message that Yancheng Prison had sent to their communicator.
They didn't care at the time.
However, the content of the information at this moment became particularly clear in their brains because of the sudden and powerful appearance of this source beast.
At the same time, when Hua Si was sent to the door of the small canteen in Prison Block No. 7, the mechanical dog forced a communication bracelet on her, and the bracelet vibrated.
I sighed silently in my heart, the signal is really good.
Hua Sicai slowly read the content sent -
[No. 7077, if you can provide important information about the source beast in front of you, you will be awarded a cyan contribution medal and 50 alliance coins by the Council. ]
Huasi: “…”
Is the artificial intelligence on this planet already so omniscient and omnipotent?
Hua Si looked up and found that it was not Xiaobai who was omniscient and omnipotent, but an evolved being was holding up a communicator and filming.
Moreover, even though the black beetles began to stir again due to the appearance of the scorpion-tailed flying lizard, they did not put down the communicator.
Hua Si was very confused about this.
One or two people would be enough, why did nearly ten of them appear? Could it be that strength in numbers can kill the scorpion-tailed flying lizard?
"Girl, don't you understand this?"
Hua Si's confusion was clearly written on her face. Feeling that she was much safer than the evolvers, the elder sister began to enthusiastically answer Hua Si's questions.
"Girl, do you know that there are only two languages on our planet?"
The flower seemed to nod.
If she said she didn't know this common sense, she would probably be regarded as a barbarian who lived in the wilderness and had never come into contact with civilization.
The elder sister seemed very pleased with the flowers nodding in agreement, and continued to ask:
"Then do you know that there are two languages today, one is ancient Chinese from the last civilization, and the other is ancient English from the last civilization?"
Hua Si felt that this question might be related to why so many evolvers were holding up communicators in their hands and taking pictures.
So, she shook her head.
The eldest sister showed a look of understanding: "I knew you probably didn't know, so today I will tell you, because there is a saying in Old English called Cameraman never die. It means that photographers are immortal, so now they all want to be photographers!"
Huasi: “!!!”
Can it be more outrageous?
Is the world crazy, or is she crazy! ?
How could a normal person use such ridiculous ideas to escape reality?
However, Hua soon came to her senses. No matter how outrageous this idea was, as long as people believed in it with their spirit and consciousness and made it a belief, it would still have some effect.
"Sister, why aren't you laughing? Isn't my joke funny? In fact, when an evolver encounters an unknown source beast, he uploads the image before his death to the Star News. Even if it has no value, it can give his family extra compensation."
Huasi: “…”
So, she is crazy after all, right?
But as a good person, how could she go crazy? If a good person goes crazy, is he still a good person?
Wouldn't that be considered a madman?
Not wanting to pay attention to 2640, who almost made her doubt herself, Huasi carried her bulging backpack, sat down on Gou San's thick rhizome, fiddled with the communication bracelet, and began to send the information she knew.
Soon, all the elite evolvers present received a message.
[The current source beast is a scorpion-tailed flying lizard, Beyond Grade A, with weak eyes, good at changing color, hiding, and mental control. The venom of its tail can dissolve all objects with an energy density of less than 10. B-level and above mental evolutionists can break through its mental field to a certain extent and discover its existence. It likes to eat, likes sunlight, likes water, has bad breath, has a keen sense of smell, and hates fire. ]
After receiving this message, several captains had many questions that they did not understand.
For example, when did the source beasts get named? Didn’t they always use numbers to represent them before?
For example, when did the concept of Super A-Class come into being?
For example, what the hell is energy density?
Is this density similar to the density of an object, energy divided by volume? But how do we calculate the total energy of an evolver?
The Yancheng Prison Research Institute is indeed very advanced, but it is so advanced that even they, the elite evolutionists, have never heard of these concepts.
Is it too advanced?
They didn't consider the progress of their knowledge updating at all!
But the rest of the information seems pretty plausible, especially the one about the weakness being in the eyes, which has already made some people eager to try it out.
After all, whether you kill or capture the source beast you discover for the first time, you will receive rewards from the Council.
However, since they couldn't see where the scorpion-tailed flying lizard's eyes were, they couldn't try.
However, because of this information, the fear of the unknown that weighed on everyone's hearts was gradually dispelled.
No one was holding up the communicator and continuing to film anymore.
Putting down the bracelet, Gong Lin's eyes sparkled: "Chen Yue, when things here are over, I will not only find this researcher in Yancheng Prison, but my Gong family will reach a cooperation with him no matter what the cost!"
……
……
Ji Zitian, who also received the message, frowned slightly, turned off the bracelet, and no longer paid attention to how others dealt with the scorpion-tailed flying lizard.
His gaze once again returned to the intricate rhizome that wrapped around the source crystal like a fishing net.
As an evolver with wood elemental abilities, after careful consideration, she felt that the hint given by B-13 was...
It is very likely related to this unknown plant.
So, she plucked up her courage and began to continuously release friendly wood element energy and friendly mental power, and reached out to touch a tiny rhizome.
Hua Si saw Ji Zitian's attempt to communicate with Gou San.
As a good person, she doesn't want to let people down.
So, when Ji Zitian's hand touched the rhizome of Gou San, it retreated away as if shy.
"So cute! Are you shy?" Ji Zitian looked delighted.
Then she went back to trying to touch.
Every time she was about to touch it, the roots would quickly retreat and avoid it. Although she never touched it once, the interaction between the person and the tree seemed very tacit and harmonious, as if they were playing a game.
"what!!!"
Seeing Ji Zitian's actions, Song Shi wanted to imitate her, but was whipped away with a scream.
Seeing this, Ji Zitian curled her lips.
Then she tentatively touched the source crystals and found that she did not fly out like the other evolvers. The light in her eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
Except for Song Shi and others, no one else noticed the little episode involving Ji Zitian.
As for the people on Bai Yuchuan's side, after seeing what Song Shi had done, there was nothing they could do even if they noticed it.
Because the black beetle suddenly launched a counterattack.
With the addition of the scorpion-tailed flying lizard, the evolvers in the cave were fighting in a group. It took almost all their energy to avoid the elusive long tongue and the ubiquitous black beetles.
How can I care about anything else?
It was at this time that Ji Zitian climbed up the Yuanjing Mountain, which was only six or seven meters high.
She was not in a hurry to see the three fruits.
Instead, he walked to the flower sitting on the dog's three stems, touched the beads on his wrist, and said in a slightly helpless tone:
"Sister Hua, Bai Yuchuan is not a good person. If you deliberately get involved with him just because the captain gave me the reincarnation pearl temporarily, it is really unnecessary. B-13 will be yours sooner or later, and I have never thought of snatching it from you."
Huasi looked up from picking and choosing the source crystal, blinked, and stretched out her hand to her: "Then give it back to me!"
Ji Zitian was stunned.
This was not the first time she had felt such directness as a flower.
But Fu Chenyue was beside her at that time, so she always thought that her blooming confidence was given by Fu Chenyue.
I didn't expect that she would still be like this now that Fu Chenyue is not here.
"Sister Hua, I'm sorry, this was given to me by the captain, and I will only give it back to the captain."
The flower seemed to tilt its head.
I understand. This means she doesn't acknowledge that B-13 is hers.
I felt Ji Zitian's energy field, which was at the peak of D-level, just one step away from C-level. Under the suppression of Yancheng Prison, he had the strength of an early D-level.
Good, she can beat him.
But, as a good person, you can't resort to violence over a disagreement.
She decided to give each other another chance.
"So even though you know that it was already mine when Brother Chen Yue gave it to you, and it's in the cooling-off period and is useless to you now, you still don't want to return it to me?"
Hua Si felt that her question was very clear.
I don't want to give it back to her.
That's definitely not her fault as a good person.
Before Ji Zitian replied, the eldest sister became anxious.
"Hey! What's wrong with you, girl? How can you take someone else's things and not return them? Or do you think you are an evolver and we are just ordinary people, so you bully us!?"
"I don't think so. I just think it's not my place to dispose of him."
Upon hearing this roundabout way of shirking responsibility, the elder sister started to argue: "I think you are just bullying me."
The eldest sister's words stopped abruptly.
Because, a snow beast's long sword was already against Ji Zitian's neck.
"Give me."
