Chapter 34: Stealing Nutrients to Strengthen Yourself

The water is all pale blue, thousands of feet deep to the bottom.

There are fish and rocks swimming around, which are unobstructed even if you look directly at them.

early morning,

Taixu Mountain.

A strange "Taixu Sword God" rose up at dawn and pierced the sky. This also represented that another swordsman had successfully stepped into the "Shenri".

Lin Chaoyu, who was gentle and yet heroic, put away the Xuanyuan Sword - Qingchen Liu in her hand, then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. The sharp energy in her body also followed her. The move gradually dissipated.

"Senior Sister Chaoyu's sword god is really special."

The white-haired Cheng Lingshuang suddenly appeared behind Lin Chaoyu as if teleporting. Her eyes were sleepy and her hair was a little messy. She was wearing a white nightgown, a pair of plush slippers, and her hands were in the pockets of her nightgown. .

She looks like a lazy otaku, all she needs is a two-dimensional beautiful girl pillow.

Lin Chaoyu turned around and asked curiously: "What's so special about it?"

Lin Chaoyu believed that the junior sister's swordsmanship was unparalleled in the world. She had a unique vision. If her Taixu Sword God could be called special by her, it must be extraordinary.

But……

"It's so special that there's nothing special about it at all. It's too ordinary." Cheng Lingshuang yawned and added, "It's so ordinary that I almost thought it wasn't the Taixu Sword God. Alas... Senior sister's sword is as ordinary as yours. What a surprise!"

The Taixu Sword God used by everyone is different and has its own characteristics. Therefore, Lin Chaoyu's Taixu Sword God with almost no characteristics is very special and has nothing wrong with it.

"..." Lin Chaoyu suggested, "You should learn to stay silent, Ling Shuang."

"Silence is the best expression. If I don't speak, you will feel even worse." Cheng Lingshuang was very good at dealing with it.

"..."

Lin Chaoyu chose silence, and what she meant was self-evident: I don't want to pay attention to you anymore.

But Cheng Lingshuang still didn't stop talking, which was very annoying: "Senior Sister Chaoyu, give me a sword god. I want to personally taste whether your sword god is really as tasteless as it looks."

"I need to rest for a while."

The Taixu Sword God was not that easy to use, and Lin Chaoyu was a little tired.

"Rest? Didn't you just hit Sword God once? Are you tired now? You are really... haha~" Cheng Lingshuang's voice was very calm, but what he said was particularly sarcastic.

When Lin Chaoyu heard this, he felt a little tight in his chest, no! Even if she was exhausted today, she still had to give this junior sister who was in need of treatment a sword god!

Otherwise she would panic.

After taking the Light Chen Sword, Lin Chaoyu narrowed her golden eyes and raised the long sword in her hand. The intimidating Qi in her body reappeared.

Honkai energy itself is very corrosive. If Lin Chaoyu accidentally gets a little bit of Honkai energy, it will cause death.

Facing the senior swordsman, Cheng Lingshuang still had her hands in her pajamas pockets, looking nonchalant.

Lin Chaoyu became even more angry when he saw his junior sister's attitude. Are you looking down on me? Believe it or not, I will spank you later?

The beauty is like jade, the long sword is like a rainbow, the sword energy dances in all directions, and the heaven and earth are lifted up for a long time.

Lin Chaoyu took action with hatred and great momentum. However, when the sword energy hit Cheng Lingshuang, he suddenly disappeared without making any sound.

It comes like thunder to absorb its wrath, and ends like the clear light of the river and sea.

Lin Chaoyu, who was so tired that he collapsed on the ground, felt tired looking at his unharmed junior sister.

So powerless...

What kind of monster is this?

At this time, Cheng Lingshuang finally took out a small white hand from her pajamas pocket. She touched her pointed chin, squeaked and smacked her little mouth, and replied: "Senior Sister's Sword God is really terrifying!"

"?"

Lin Chaoyu suspected that she was mocking him.

As expected, Cheng Lingshuang continued: "It's really terrible, I didn't realize anything.

"Before, I could understand different things from each person and different sword gods, but senior sister's sword god... there was nothing worth learning from me.

"Your Sword God is like a handful of water, tasteless. Tsk tsk, it doesn't make me realize anything. It seems that my practice is not at home yet! This Sword God is really terrible. Sure enough, mediocre is the way to go. real."

"..." Lin Chaoyu said expressionlessly, "Come here, stick your head here and let me kick you."

"Excuse me, don't be angry, I haven't finished speaking yet." Cheng Lingshuang took a step back and said, "Your Sword God also has advantages that we cannot match."

"What advantages?"

"The growth potential is extremely high."

"Growth? Really?"

"It's true! Of course it's true!" Cheng Lingshuang explained, "Because Senior Sister's Taixu Sword God is already at the 'rock bottom'. As long as it makes a little progress, it will be considered growth."

"Come on, come here and let me kick you." Lin Chaoyu waved weakly, "I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't kick your ass."

"Can you stand up like this?"

"Come here!" Lin Chaoyu raised his tone.

Seeing that the senior sister was angry, Cheng Lingshuang shrank her neck, walked over honestly, and pouted.

Although her behavior was very well-behaved, she still kept talking: "The less promising a person is, the more he likes to bully the juniors based on his seniority and is unreasonable."

The pale Lin Chaoyu gritted her teeth and stood up forcefully. Even if she was exhausted today, she still had to kick this damn girl!

It's all Wu's fault

Tong!

In fact, Lin Chaoyu really blamed Wutong wrongly this time, even though Cheng Lingshuang had never been in contact with Wutong before.

That's who she is.

Lin Chaoyu kicked her junior sister five times, but she still couldn't get over her anger. She squeezed her body, kicked her one last time, and then passed out on the ground.

"Tsk, why are you so weak? You've fainted now?" Cheng Lingshuang rubbed her buttocks and kept talking, "Isn't it just two feet? Words don't count. Hey... He's worthless and loves to lie. , and also likes to use seniority to pressure others, senior sister is really a terrible person."

After saying that, Cheng Lingshuang hugged Lin Chaoyu and in the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared.

Lin Chaoyu just passed out, otherwise she would have gritted her teeth after hearing what her junior sister said, and would have gotten up and kicked her again.

…

late at night,

The moon and stars are sparse and the lights are dim.

In a simple temporary conference room,

Mei was sitting on the "chief seat" and speaking. Wutong, who was bored, sat in the corner with Kiana, who was sleepy and dozing, looking at Mebius, Velvet and Padofelis. People were playing cards quietly.

A few days ago, Padofelis led Kiana to this conference room to "make trouble". After that, the little white-haired little white-haired girl often followed Wutong here to listen to the adults discussing things.

Dr. Mei turns a blind eye to the behavior of Mebius and others, and she has a high tolerance for Snake and Velvet.

As for Padofelis...she wants to hear it or not.

Velvet is one of the Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser Moth, ranked fifth, and is engraved with the "Spiral" mark.

She is the engineering consultant of the Thirteen Heroes, the youngest owner of the Spiral Workshop, and the Magic King of the Twilight Era. He is a technical talent who specializes in the mechanical field. He has provided a lot of help to Fire Chaser Moth in terms of mechanical power engineering and energy.

At this time, there were many people in the conference room, which made the space seem a little small, but it was very quiet, with the only sound of Dr. Mei's calm speech.

Even Qianjie, who was sitting next to Aponya, didn't speak, but he seemed to be unable to sit still.

Qianjie felt awkward and uncomfortable. He hated his current position. Why did this nagging woman sit next to him?

In this simple conference room, except for little Kiana, there were basically "big guys". Eight of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire came, as well as several former civilized Herrschers.

After a while,

Dr. Mei put down the materials in his hand, took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and said, "Wutong will tell you the next thing."

"You just said it all."

"Let me tell you, I have some discomfort in my throat, and the first step of the plan was entirely yours." Dr. Mei took off his glasses and gently pinched the Qingming point with his fingers.

"Fine."

Wutong stood up and handed her daughter in her arms to Mebius. The confused little Kiana glanced at Snake and instantly became energetic. She stretched out her little hand behind her and pulled it twice, wanting to He grabbed his father's clothes to show that he wanted to leave Mebius's arms, but his grasp was empty.

"Haha~ Don't you like me? Little cutie." Mebius said with a "kind" smile.

Little Kiana immediately shook her head, her face turned pale with fright.

For some reason, Kiana was very afraid of Mebius. From the first time she saw Snake, she was inexplicably afraid of this woman.

Gu: Maybe it’s because she has extremely high research value.

Kiana's instinct was to keep her away from danger.

"Does shaking your head mean you don't like it?" Snake teased.

"No, no. I, I like you very much." Chong Chong stuttered.

"Haha, then why are you afraid of me?" Mebius gently scratched Kiana's soft little face with his sharp fingertips and whispered, "I won't eat you."

"I, I..." Kiana was a little incoherent.

"Oh, Sister Snake, please stop scaring her. Come on, little princess, come to us." Patophilis opened her arms.

"Who asked you to interrupt? Pado, did I allow you to speak?"

"..."

Padofelis retracted her arm sarcastically and gave Kiana a helpless look.

Kiana gained a deeper understanding of the status of this seemingly shameful hero.

at the same time,

Wutong walked behind Mei, patted Kevin on the shoulder and turned on the big screen.

Kevin's eyes twitched and he suppressed his anger. He felt that his shoulders were pinched blue by this bastard.

The big screen scrolls with pictures that make people feel extremely physically and psychologically uncomfortable, and occasionally there are some short videos, which are basically tragedies that happened in the pre-civilization period.

The tragedy caused by the collapse.

Kiana stared at the screen, her little face wrinkled, she felt extremely uncomfortable physically and mentally, and even her fear of Mebius had dissipated a lot.

"I believe all of you are very familiar with these human tragedies, because we have been there, and many of these scenes were caused by our own hands."

Wutong controlled the big screen with the remote control and said slowly in a calm tone: "As you can see, we are all a group of losers.

"Today, I am not happy at all to see you sitting here intact, really, because

, your existence at this moment proves my failure.

"I cannot accept the consequences of resurrecting the dead and crawling out of hell.

"I have experienced too many twists and turns, I have doubted my ability countless times, and I have questioned myself countless times, is it worth it?

"Are the efforts I have put in along the way, the pain and displacement I have endured along the way, just to resurrect you? Is it just to restore the glory of the previous civilization?

“No, no, you don’t deserve it.

“The results I have received so far are not worthy of the efforts I have put in. This is unfair and I hate unfairness.

"I believe you also hate that you have been treated unfairly.

“Honkai devastates and tortures mankind, taking away countless lives and destroying countless families.

“Hengkai makes it difficult for us to eat, sleep, play, and live...

"So, do you think that the result of just avoiding the end and saving one's life is worthy of everything that humans have experienced and the pain they have endured?

“Not worthy.

“All of you here, look at these tragedies and think back to your failed lives in the past.

“Since the appearance of Honkai, our lives have ceased to be radiant and all that remains is darkness.

“We are being played with our destiny by the gods, deprived of our sanity by malice, and destroyed by the collapse of our own and other people’s lives.

“We should use our beautiful hands to create beauty, but because of certain existences, our hands are stained with blood, and our feet are covered with blood and bones, piles of corpses, and the ghosts of the dead are still lingering.

“It’s not nice, it’s not interesting, it’s unfair.

"So we want revenge.

"From this moment on, our goal is no longer to survive in the doomsday, let alone to continue the fire in the end.

"We are demons crawling out of hell, the avengers of the past.

“We want to take revenge on Honkai, we want to raise the butcher knife called ‘karma’ to the gods who play with human destiny and despise human life.

"Since the gods are testing and sifting civilization through collapse, they will have to bear the consequences of being called 'human civilization' as 'borers', polluting the entire 'big tree' and plundering all the 'nutrients'.

"Since the gods are unfair and indifferent to life, then we will pull them down from their position as gods. This world does not need gods.

“We want to judge Honkai, punish the gods, enslave them, and let them atone for their sins.

“We must take back with our own hands everything we have lost.

“We are ignorant, but because of that we are fearless.

"Human beings who fear the gods are cowards. We are not strong, but we are reckless men with some brains. Everything that stands in our way..."

"Okay! Well said! I think you speak better than Mei!" Qianjie, a brainless and reckless man, said with empathy, "Everything that stands in front of us will be turned into dust under the flames!"

"..."

The sudden cheers interrupted Wutong's thoughts.

"Shut up." said Aponya, who had no waves in the ancient well.

"whispering sound!"

Qianjie seemed to be disdainful of Apponia on the surface, but he stopped talking.

"Mr. Wutong, how should we take revenge on the gods?" Su asked directly.

"Don't worry, you have to eat your food one bite at a time. No matter what your plan is, you need your own strong foundation."

Wutong quickly flipped through several pages of the large screen until a picture of a fleet appeared on the screen.

"I plan to form a fleet composed of the Second God's Key. This fleet will wander in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Quantum Sea, plunder all the worlds that have been defeated by Honkai Impact, and absorb the nutrients of these broken worlds. Strengthen yourself.”

Wutong still has something to say. When their world is strong enough, sooner or later they will be able to absorb the nutrients of "trees".

There is a kind of strangler tree called Ficus obliquus. The seeds of its seeds have very hard husks. They can fall on other trees due to wind and rain, and germinate and grow on the branches of the trees.

They rob trees of the water and nutrients they need, competing with strangled trees for space and sunlight.

In the end, the parasitic tree trunk was surrounded and tightly bound, like a giant python, until it died.

The once weak Strangler took its place, slowly enjoying the remains of the strangled person as nutrition.

No matter how strong or tall a tree is, it will never escape the fate of being entangled to death.

"But, we don't have that many Second God Keys." Velvet said, she had a bad premonition.

Wutong smiled and said: "Indeed, every unique civilization and world full of Honkai energy can only condense a unique core of Herrscher of the Sky.

“However, this also means that every world can condense a Herrscher core.

“We can go to different world bubbles, condense countless empty law cores, and create countless Second God Keys.

“We didn’t have lawyers working for us before, but now we do.

"I will solve the core problem, but the task of creating the Second God's Key will be troublesome to you, Velvet.

“Of course, it’s not limited to the Second God Key, the more various God Keys the better.

"And when we have countless resources, soul steel is no longer scarce."

"Good guy, are you stuck in a bug here?!" Patophilis said in surprise, "By the way, according to your first step plan,

, what exactly are we trying to plunder? "

Padofelis likes shiny things, such as gold and various gemstones...

Therefore, she was very interested in Wutong's plan.

This is an aboveboard and illegal robbery! Isn't this more interesting than sneaking around?

As expected of Wutong!

"Everything within sight, including Honkai Impact."

Wutong looked at Kevin, then at Su, and muttered: "Kevin will be the captain of this fleet, and Su will be the deputy captain. The deputy captain has no power, but the captain must listen to the deputy captain." 's order."

"?"

Kevin's mind was filled with questions. If that's the case, why didn't you just let Su be the captain?

In fact, Su is indeed more suitable to be the captain, because his mind is fair enough and he will not be blinded by greed, let alone plunder a world where human civilization still exists.

However, one thing is particularly important, that is, Kevin's force value is relatively strong and can suppress this group of dishonest people, but Su is not so good in this regard.
