Chapter 25: Return to the Phoenix Cave (Part II)
That night.
The three of them took advantage of the cover of night and returned to the Phoenix Cave again. And looking at the phoenix in the center of the square, Lin Muhan's eyes seemed to be about to pop out of his sockets.
"There is still such a thing hidden in Yanhuang?"
Lin Muhan glared and muttered, "Is there still a dragon locked up here?" ”
"How is that possible?"
Phoenix seemed to be amused by him: "It's still a question of whether there are dragons on Earth now, and the reason why I'm here is because we live much longer than the dragon clan, and my strength is not enough to leave Earth." ”
Lin Muhan opened his mouth and stammered.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Phoenix sorted out his thoughts, looked at Lin Muhan and asked, "I heard that you once broke through the spiritual prison of the four offerings?" ”
"Probably right?"
Lin Muhan was stunned for a moment and said, "I once broke his mental cage in Forest No. 1, but that should only be the product of his remote control. What's wrong? ”
"That's good."
Phoenix glanced at Lin Lexuan, nodded, and said, "Then you should recognize the light curtain in front of me, right?" ”
Lin Muhan looked at the light curtain carefully, nodded and said, "This is also the spiritual prison of the four offerings." ”
"Are you sure you can break it?" There was a hint of restrained excitement in the phoenix's beautiful eyes.
Lin Muhan walked around the light mask twice, and after a while, he stopped and said with a solemn expression: "This cage is not the kind of superficial spiritual cage I encountered last time, I can't break it." ”
Listening to Lin Muhan's answer, Phoenix sighed, her eyes were full of loss and helplessness, she turned to Lin Lexuan, and said with a cold expression: "Then forget it." ”
But at this moment, Lin Muhan stroked the light mask and said softly: "But give me a few more years, I am 100% sure that I will break it." ”
Hearing this, Phoenix's huge body trembled, and she ignored Lin Lexuan's somewhat playful gaze and asked eagerly, "Can you break it?" ”
Lin Muhan stared at the spiritual prison and said in a deep voice: "I feel that the energy in my body combined with spiritual power is just right to restrain this kind of thing. So I need time to improve my mental power a little more. As long as I have enough mental strength, there is no problem in breaking it. ”
"How long will it take you?" Phoenix suppressed some excitement and said in a deep voice.
"My current mental power is just beginning, and it is estimated that it will take another five or six years." Lin Muhan calculated and said.
"It's been a long time...... Phoenix sighed and fell into deep thought.
"It's better than hopeless." Lin Lexuan glanced at the phoenix and said.
Phoenix didn't speak, and she fell into deep thought.
After a long time, she sighed and said, "I don't want to wait another five years, I want to go out in three years." Can you do it? ”
"It's a little difficult."
Lin Muhan's brows furrowed, and he asked, "Since you have been waiting here for more than twenty years, why are you in a hurry for these two years?" ”
"I have to rush back to Sichuan and Shu within four years, and there are some things I have to do." Phoenix replied.
"Then I can only do my best." Lin Muhan spread out his hand.
Phoenix closed her eyes, as if she was making up her mind. After a while, she spoke: "I have another method, I can cut a part of my mental power from my mind and put it into your consciousness space, which should make your mental power much stronger." ”
But listening to Phoenix's words, Lin Muhan's face showed displeasure and worry, and asked, "Will this cause any harm to your mind?" ”
A faint hint of satisfaction flashed in Phoenix's eyes, she shook her head with a smile, and said, "After every Nirvana, our Phoenix clan will leave a lot of spiritual fragments in the consciousness space. These fragments are some of the remnants of my consciousness and thoughts from my previous life, and although they can be transformed into pure spiritual power, I don't need them at all. So I'm just going to refine these spiritual fragments and give them to you. In this way, your mental strength can be quickly improved, and I can leave in three years, the best of both worlds. ”
"Let's get started now, then." Lin Muhan said.
"Are you sure?"
Phoenix raised her eyebrows in surprise and said to Lin Muhan: "It is a very painful process to accept this inheritance, don't think it's an easy thing, if you are not careful, the fragment of my consciousness will erase your original memory and soul, and become a walking corpse, you can prepare for a year and we will talk about it." ”
"No need, I'm confident."
Lin Muhan waved his hand and sat cross-legged on the ground: "I also have very important things that urgently need to use spiritual power, and it is not a bad thing to be strong as soon as possible." ”
Hearing his words, Phoenix no longer dissuaded anything, but said: "Then I'll tell you the truth, no matter if you succeed or fail, even if you are controlled by my consciousness fragments, as long as I use some means, I can still easily control your body." ”
"You always have a way to go, don't you?" When Lin Lexuan heard this, he said sarcastically on the side.
Phoenix didn't pay attention to him, just looked at Lin Muhan's eyes intently, waiting for his answer.
But listening to Phoenix's words, Lin Muhan smiled.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me." He looked at Lin Lexuan and said.
"You just believe me?" Phoenix's eyes gradually turned cold, and he said, "You're not afraid that I will kill you?" ”
Lin Muhan shrugged his shoulders, he didn't look at the phoenix, and said, "Although I don't believe you, I trust Le Xuan's judgment, so I'm not worried." ”
A hint of emotion flashed in Lin Lexuan's eyes.
The phoenix looked at Lin Muhan and Lin Lexuan, and a strange light crossed his eyes.
"In that case, let's get started now."
With that, a soft transparent light shot out from the center of her eyebrows, and the optical fiber slowly penetrated the spiritual cage and hit Lin Muhan's eyebrows, connecting the foreheads of the two.
Lin Muhan's body trembled a few times, he closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on absorbing the spirit fragments of the phoenix.
Lin Lexuan and Lin Xiangyu looked nervously at Lin Muhan who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and saw that he didn't have the same pain as Lin Lexuan had when he absorbed the phoenix fire last time, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"You know how I felt the last time I looked at you, right?" Lin Xiangyu smiled bitterly and said to Lin Lexuan.
Lin Lexuan nodded, he looked at the transparent light of the phoenix and Lin Muhan that were connecting each other, and said, "You pay attention to them first, and I'll go to the shelf over there to take a look." ”
"Okay, I'll just watch them." Lin Xiangyu replied.
Lin Lexuan bypassed the spiritual cage that imprisoned the phoenix and came to the row of huge iron frames behind her.
The iron frame was very wide, almost five people high. A burst of blue light rose from Lin Lexuan's feet, and he floated, looking at the things placed on the shelves in rows.
"Oh my God, what are these things......"
The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became: "High-speed ion separation accelerator, proton accelerator prototype, Ebola virus strain petri dish, mutant smallpox frozen samples, biochemical virus No. 1, proton impact cannon prototype......"
"Wait, Proton Striker?!"
Seeing this, Lin Lexuan's eyes bulged out. He looked at the huge barrel on the shelf, which was almost as tall as himself, and instantly thought of the kind of terrifying weapon that Seiberg had used in Taiwan.
If he hadn't broken the sonic shield of the Seborg, forcing him to lead the cannon into the sky, then everyone present at the time would have died under that cannon without any suspense.
If he had a weapon of this level and fired such a few shots at the Yanhuang base, not to mention a dozen elders and commanders, even the worshippers might not be able to stop such a ferocious attack!
With this thought in his mind, Lin Lexuan's eyes couldn't help but burn. He looked at the massive weapon carefully, ready to take it off the shelf. But at this moment, a phoenix's cold voice came from behind him:
"If I were you, I wouldn't touch it."
Lin Lexuan's hand stopped in front of the shelf, and asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”
"Didn't you see that?"
Phoenix had already completed the transmission of the spirit fragments, and she turned around and said, "The label says the Proton Impactor Prototype. This was one of the first three prototypes made by Yanhuang scientists when that scientist in the United States actually solved the limitations of proton weapons. ”
"How did it turn out?" Lin Lexuan asked.
"The first one is completely dumb fire, one piece of scrap iron. And the second ......"
Phoenix showed a meaningful smile: "See the big pit at the end of the square?" ”
Lin Lexuan turned his head and saw that there was indeed a large pit with a diameter of nearly fifty meters in the direction of the phoenix's gaze. He asked with fiery eyes, "This is the prototype that bombed?" ”
"Half right."
Phoenix said casually, with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone: "That prototype exploded directly, as if something went wrong with the proton impact orbit, killing nearly two hundred experimenters and soldiers in one go." ”
At this, Phoenix pursed his lips and looked at the huge metal cannon barrel with disdain.
The corners of Lin Lexuan's mouth twitched, and he put the huge prototype of the proton impact cannon back into the iron frame. He continued to scan the strange items on the shelves and asked, "If I take something from here, will Yan Huang find out?" ”
"Take whatever you like."
The phoenix waved his wings and said, "It's called a storage warehouse if it's good, and it's a garbage dump if it's not good." It's all scrap from their research or obsolete old equipment. No one will be going to check these things for a few hundred years. You can take it with confidence, as long as you don't get tossed to death by them. ”
Lin Lexuan nodded, and then asked, "What is the situation with these various virus strains?" Can it still be used? ”
"It's long since it lost its activity." The phoenix said without looking back.
"Okay."
Lin Lexuan removed his hand from the petri dish containing the Ebola virus strain in disappointment. He pointed to a bottle labeled Biovirus No. 1 and continued, "And what is this biovirus?" ”
"It's the virus that infects the living corpses in your biochemical forest. This is only the initial version of the first stage, which is only likely to be effective for the average person, and I heard that there is only a 0.5 percent infection rate, the test of the test subjects. Phoenix continued to pout.
"Do you know what stage this biochemical virus is now?" Lin Lexuan asked.
"Maybe it's the fourth phase, a couple of soldiers mentioned it in passing last time when they brought in the scrapped ion collider." Phoenix thought for a moment and replied.
"It seems that the last time we saw in Forest Two we were the fourth stage virus infected." Lin Lexuan pondered for a moment and thought secretly.
He thought about it, and then began to examine the large shelf again. But to his disappointment, there was nothing left on this shelf worthy of his attention other than what he had seen before, and all that was left was dusty rags.
But just as he was about to leave the shelf, in the corner of the shelf, a palm-sized bottle filled with a black substance suddenly caught his eye.
"What is this?"
Lin Lexuan picked up the dusty bottle, and then, a trace of surprise flashed in his expression.
"How can it be so light?!"
Looking at the bottle in his hand, Lin Lexuan's expression was incredulous: "An empty glass bottle of about the same size is twice as heavy as this, what is in it?" ”
"What junk did you find again?"
The phoenix lazily turned around to look at Lin Lexuan, at this time Lin Muhan's state had stabilized, much gentler than the day before when Lin Lexuan absorbed the phoenix flame. This made her and Lin Xiangyu both breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Lexuan raised the dusty bottle in his hand, and the phoenix's gaze fell on it.
Looking at the bottle in Lin Lexuan's hand, Phoenix's gaze gradually turned from the initial laziness to solemnity, and finally turned into a deep surprise.
She was silent for a long time, and asked in a trembling voice, "Where did you find it?" ”
"There." Lin Lexuan pointed to an inconspicuous corner of the iron frame.
"It's, it's ......"
Phoenix looked at the bottle in his hand, and even his tone stammered.
Looking at the phoenix's expression, Lin Lexuan couldn't help but get nervous, and he hurriedly asked, "What is this?" ”
Phoenix barely calmed down, and said with a short breath:
"This turned out to be...... A bottle of dark energy?! ”
