Chapter 420
This thing becomes smarter and smarter. I can no longer take it lightly, stop talking to it, and ask it to hand over its life source immediately.
The humanoid vine touched its belly with its chicken feet-like hands. I was worried that it would cause the poisonous blood to spread when it saw a red light passing through its belly and stopping in its palm.
In the red light, something like a chopstick stood, looking like a silver chopstick. I couldn't help but suspect that the original body of the metal vine was a silver-packed chopstick.
The red ball definitely has the ability to make the chopsticks bloom. The humanoid vine handed me the "chopsticks". I took it with the black cloud tentacle, but my eyes kept looking at it.
The source of life left the body, and the human-shaped vines began to shrink, gradually shrinking into a chopstick. I raised my eyebrows and thought to myself that it was really the same as I thought.
The lower half of this chopstick is made of wooden, and the upper half is wrapped in carved silver jewelry. It is exquisitely crafted, probably a craft.
I promised it to hand over the source of life and take it away, so I picked up the chopsticks from the ground and just wanted to put them in my pocket, but the chopsticks moved themselves, climbing up to my wrist like a little snake.
It was wrapped in a circle on my wrist, and the combination of wood and silver made it look quite ethnic.
"Can you talk?" Since you can move, it means it is still alive. I shook my wrists and put the silver jewelry on my skin, giving it a cool touch.
The sound of the answer appeared in my mind. It was impossible to speak, and it finally grew into shape and could speak, but it was knocked back to its original form in a blink of an eye. I don’t know how big the psychological shadow area is at this moment.
"I can feel the energy in you, I want to absorb them, um~ a little bit, just a little bit every day."
"How much is a little bit? Demonstrate." I stretched out my arms and paid attention to the amount of mental power loss.
The power flowed along the arm to the silver chopsticks on the wrist. I calculated that it had about ten cubic meters of energy, and this loss was negligible to me.
"Yes, take a little bit every day." I only agreed to take it away, but I did not agree to provide it with energy. Now I allow it to stay on me like a parasite, but it is just a hint of pity.
The metal vines give me the feeling that they are different from other red ball creatures. They are not all negative energy, or they are relatively neutral, good or bad.
If you kill it, it will completely disappear from the world and stay and cultivate it well, and maybe you can help in the future.
Besides, its life source is in my hands, and it will not become a climate for a while. It is hard to say about the future. Maybe when we find the space-time shuttle and build a space tunnel, all disasters will be cleared. At that time, there will be no more trouble for it, and less trouble for it.
"Boss, are we going to fight now?" Yin chopsticks twisted my wrist twice, "Are the guy outside still there?"
I put away my life source and turned to walk outside the house. Li Jixian did not leave. He had already received my blood. The reason why he didn't leave was that he still wanted the life source of the metal vine.
I just knew that he sent someone to raise the metal vines, so Li Jixian asked me to pick fruits for him and he would enjoy the fruits.
"Chopsticks, what are they feeding you?"
"Life, they have a small bead that contains vitality. Every time they leave, they throw the beads under the bridge, and a lot of vitality will be released inside."
"Where did these vitality come from? Have you heard them say?"
"No, they never talk. When they come, they work on my head and always steal my flowers."
I laughed secretly. Li Jixian's people did not steal flowers, they regarded it as a research subject.
However, this extra-large research product may not be convenient for placing it in the laboratory, so it is cultivated and sampled in the open air.
But even if I know what Li Jixian did and he must have to study my blood, he has no choice but to do it.
If his superpower level is higher than mine, I will fight him now, and if I don’t do it well, I will lose it here. I will not only help him get the life source of the metal vine, but also give him his life.
Thinking of this, I decided to leave when I see profits, would I make small profits and turnovers too much?
So I used the teleportation egg to move directly from the residential building out of the city. Even if Li Jixian saw me running away, he would not be able to catch up with me.
I spent a lot of time in the wild before moving back to Zuobar so that Li Jixian would not track me down.
Metal vines have both gold and wood energy, and I think it is better to absorb Long Tao than I myself, so when I returned to Zuobar, I called Long Tao to the room.
Gu Yu was still sleeping. I went into the house and saw Gu Yu first. His physical condition was very stable. Meilin had already checked him.
When Gu Yu was away, Long Tao was the acting captain. This responsibility was not easy and needed strong supernatural powers to support him.
He saw me take out a chopstick and asked with a smile: "Souplet?"
I glanced at him and poked the chopsticks into his hand: "Does there be a souvenir for a chopstick? Do you wish you a single year of ten thousand years!"
"You have seen the small flame absorbed by Zheng. This thing can be absorbed like a small flame." I explained seriously.
Long Tao held the chopsticks and put away his smile. Zheng Se said, "Since you can improve your superpowers, it is more appropriate to leave them to those who want to go to Xindu."
"Their obstacle is space. It's useless to increase the level of superpowers. You have to stay and protect everyone. Your strength is very important."
Long Tao looked up at me and suddenly laughed again: "Your tone and expression are more and more similar to the captain."
I touched my face, thought about it for a moment, and laughed: "Don't say it's really like it."
Long Tao is not a pretentious person. He took the chopsticks, but did not go back to the room to digest the strength immediately. Instead, he asked me if I was injured when I went out.
Long Tao and I haven't talked to each other for a long time. Although I really want to talk to him, the appearance of Li Jixian and the existence of the king-level zombies made me restless.
So I urged him to quickly absorb the source of life. When Long Tao swallowed the source of life and began to digest and absorb it, I called everyone to hold a meeting.
Li Jixian had to say hello to everyone, as well as the crying fog and the king-level female zombies mentioned by Metal Vine.
A Ying and the others knew Li Jixian, and they all looked surprised when they heard that he was in Bell City.
"Didn't Commissioner Li go on a secret mission?" Ah Ying couldn't help asking first.
"Yes, I haven't heard from him again since then, and everyone thought they..." Hu Tao said in the end, swallowing the unlucky words back into his stomach.
"I'm not dead, I live well, and I'm fed a red ball creature for research."
"He didn't say why he didn't go back to the safe area?" Long Tao asked.
"He is leaving my blood, and I suspect he has left the safe zone and is independent." I guessed.
"Will Guo Wei bring people here to join him?" Zhou Li's words made us all stunned, because this possibility is very high.
Tumu said that he was swept out of the safe area. He was supposed to be the one who was covered in dust, but the actual situation was that Guo Wei and his men came to the grassland for a long distance.
No matter who wins or loses, Guo Wei may find help and re-establish a safe zone. It is naturally easier to join forces with old acquaintances.
"You said, have they contacted me?" A Ying asked.
"No, how miserable Guo Wei and the others died?" Hu Tao sighed.
"Not necessarily, maybe it was because the negotiations were not reached." Zhou Li shook his head and said.
"Li Jixian can raise one monster, but he can raise two. Who knows if he raises the leopard? Maybe he instructs the people who eat the leopard." This time, Long Tao's words opened up everyone's ideas.
Bell City and Bar City are so close to each other, and there is another red ball monster, which has never happened before.
However, the leopards held humans to find food for them. From this point of view, they were self-reliant, and it should have nothing to do with Li Jixian.
But Li Jixian can help the metal vines, and he can help the leopard people. At least when they need support in the early stage, he can play the role of a savior.
The two places are very close. For the Red Ball Monster, such distances have already involved territorial issues.
The weaker side will inevitably be swallowed by the other side, and Li Jixian will get double the strength.
Unfortunately, the leopard man was killed by us as soon as he was ‘born’, and the metal vines are now taken away by me.
If the red ball monsters in both places are related to Li Jixian, he will definitely be so angry that he vomits blood now, and he will never let me go.
"Everyone already knows what happened, we must be ready for retaliation at any time." I concluded at the end.
"There is an ancient formation, he can't come in."
Maybe he didn't know Li Jixian. When talking about things related to him, no one else except a few who knew him did not speak.
Now when it comes to safety issues, Zheng Cai spoke, but his tone was hesitant. The formation had never suffered a heavy blow, and no one could withstand the attack power.
The time to test the formation has come, and of course, conventional fortifications must not be missing. I asked Zhou Li to continue monitoring the situation outside the city and change the original shift every four hours to every two hours.
It would be best if Li Jixian couldn't track me down. If he found us hiding in Zuobar, everyone would be mentally prepared in advance so that they would make a hasty deployment afterwards.
After the meeting, Long Tao returned to his room to improve his supernatural powers, and I went back to stay by Gu Yu's bed, and Cao Baoyang accompanied Nini to paint on the table.
They were very quiet, and looked back at Gu Yu from time to time, as if to see if he was awake, or as if to be afraid of disturbing him to rest.
Children are too sensible, which inevitably makes people feel distressed. Nini and Cao Baoyang have lived in the small town for so long, but I have done very little for them. I don’t even know what they like or don’t like.
"Mom?" Nini suddenly turned around and looked at me.
"Um?"
"Are you unhappy?"
"No." I waved to both of them, and the two little guys immediately jumped off the stool and ran over to hug my arm.
"What do you want? I'll bring you back next time I go out." I remember that every time I was sad when I was a child, as long as my mother said to buy me a gift, my mood would get better.
Nini and Cao Baoyang looked at each other for a second. Nini put her face on my arm, stared at her big eyes and said, "I want my parents to go home often."
Cao Baoyang nodded with an expression of agreement. I couldn't tell what it felt like. I felt helpless and regretful, but I felt more guilty.
"I...I still want my mother to live for a long time," Cao Baoyang whispered.
