Chapter 226: The Price of Use
Because its own body is too strong, its own system is too intelligent, and the existence of the stray arrow itself is too close to the artifact in the mythological story.
All of this caused Li Qiu and Zhuang Xu to subconsciously not take it too seriously after getting the stray arrow stab, except for taking it out to block the suspicion of Li Zhongxiao and others.
Now after calming down, Li Qiu finally realized what a powerful weapon he had in his hand.
"Zi Ying," Li Qiu's forehead suddenly jumped, "You say, do we want to take the opportunity to try the actual combat ability of the stray arrow?" β
As if she didn't quite understand Li Qiu's sudden excitement, Zi Ying's response was quite indifferent, "Didn't we just do it once before when we pacified the stronghold of the Star Rescue Society?" β
"That was the time, and now is the present, how can this be the same?"
It's like playing online halfway through, when you're being pressed to the ground by Kryptonite players and leaderboard sweepers, when you're feeling uneasy and just praying for one more second to live.
The god of the game, who can break all the rules, suddenly appears.
The situation on the field was reversed in an instant, and the once incomparably tall existence became as small as an ant, and the self that once only hoped to be able to get a respite became a towering and unsurpassable existence.
Yes......
Li Qiu's heart was full of happy red bubbles.
"Uh...... Li Qiu, ah......"
"Huh?" Li Qiu grinned stupidly, "What's wrong?" β
"Actually, judging from Purple Sakura's analysis of the current situation, it's best for you not to use the stray arrow spike lightly."
Li Qiu didn't know why: "Why?" With a treasure but shelved in the cabinet, how can there be such a stupid master in the world? β
"Carrying a strange treasure but using it rashly without knowing anything about it, so that he quickly received a boxed lunch, died in front of the protagonist, and used his life to pave the way for the protagonist's future brilliance, are you sure you want to be one of those people?"
Zi Ying's words successfully shattered the unrealistic and perfect ambition in Li Qiu's heart.
It may be that he suffered a little too much grievances before, or it may be that he has been waiting too long and is a little impatient, in short, after Li Qiu understood that he really shouldn't use the stray arrow stab, he still snorted at Zi Ying, "How do you know that I must be that cannon fodder?" What if I'm the protagonist who can use any artifact at once? β
"Those people don't use all the artifacts at once because they are the protagonists, they become the protagonists because they can use all the artifacts at one time, and in the end become beings who surpass everyone else," Zi Sakura's voice was faint, "Are you sure you want to bet on this entire starship, and all the lifeforms on it, to bet on whether you can control the stray arrow spur just right?" β
If Zi Ying still wanted to use a gag tone as usual, then Li Qiu would definitely use all kinds of methods to refute it unconditionally.
But when Zi Ying used the most serious tone, the helpless Li Qiu could only choose to be cowardly.
"Got it, I won't mess around, so now can I trouble the great Purple Sakura-sama to tell me the location of the two teams?"
"OK, now they ......"
Halfway through her words, Purple Sakura fell into an eerie silence.
A hint of foreboding flashed in Li Qiu's heart: "What? Is something wrong? β
"That...... Autumn, you have to be calm......"
Li Qiu stretched out his hands expressionlessly and began to rub his temples rhythmically, "I'm ready, you can say it." β
"Ahem-uh-" Because she was too nervous, Zi Ying's voice showed a rare hint of stuttering, "Well, compared to before, they seem to have retreated farther, and it is because they retreated too far that the tail of the two teams has now completed the preliminary meeting." β
What the hell is the initial meeting?
Li Qiu was amused by this inexplicable situation.
and himself is waiting here obediently, but people are framing under the banner of attack?
Li Qiu was really angry, and he turned over and stood up from the ground, "Zi Ying, it's not a way to wait like this, I think, why don't we just take the initiative and eavesdrop while they discuss the way?" β
"I'm okay with that, but- eh, wait......"
Li Qiu was a little dazed: "What are you waiting for?" What's wrong? β
Zi Ying didn't answer Li Qiu's question directly, and after a while, Zi Ying suddenly spoke, "Li Qiu, you take a few steps back and try it." β
"How many steps back?" Although he didn't know what Zi Ying meant, out of trust in Zi Ying, Li Qiu still obediently did so, "Retreat, and then what?" β
"And then take a few steps back."
Li Qiu scratched his head and took a few steps back obediently.
Just as Li Qiu was about to ask, Zhuang Xu's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Oh my God, it's finally connected, I'm exhausted."
"Huh?" Li Qiu was stunned, "What's the situation?" β
Zhuang Xu, who was far away on the eastern edge of the starship, struggled to adjust his body.
If you look at it from the panoramic 3D view, the current Zhuang Xu is like a praying mantis that has been forcibly broken legs, one leg is about to be broken and stuck in a pair of rough black instruments, under this, the other leg is barely hanging with the help of a cable about the thickness of a middle finger, looking up along this trembling leg, it is a small board stretched out by I don't know what equipment is supporting the waist in the air to draw a beautiful curve of the upper body, and finally look up along the curve, It is a neck that constantly challenges the stretching ability of the neck skin, as if it is about to die in the next second.
At this time, the little head above the neck was pulling the head of a small slit in the upper right corner of the upper right corner with a faint light regardless of the bitterness of the neck, "Qiu, I'm really a little difficult now, I won't tell you the polite words first, say that it is important, the one with the mark on the neck is indeed a member of the Celestial Planetarists, and then this time Liu Chunshu and their branch seem to be helping them because of Brother Mark's request to their superiors, but because of Liu Chunshu, the main purpose of their trip is not this, Moreover, Liu Chunshu's status seems to be slightly higher than that of Comrade Mark, so even if Liu Chunshu does not cooperate with Comrade Mark, he can't say anything. β
"I'll just say, since it's sure to be a celestial phenomenon, it's much easier to handle the rest of it."
Li Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief, but then his face changed, "Zhuang Xu, no, we obviously got the stray arrow stab in the Chuncheng Factory, so why is it their faction that seems to have nothing to do with this matter before?" β
Zhuang Xu reacted: "What do you mean?" Did you mean that we made a mistake in judgment before? β
Li Qiu said in a deep voice: "Is You flying next to you now?" β
"Yes."
"Okay, at the critical moment, we can only treat both situations as real first."
"Two?" Zhuang Xu moved his overstretched neck slightly, just when he finally felt that he was alive, the sound of "bang" in his head instantly made him give up the idea of continuing to "live", he gritted his teeth and stretched forward desperately again, "Could it be that in addition to taking back the stray arrows, the Celestial Phenomena Society still wants to get from us?" β
"Of course there is," Listening to Zhuang Xu's awkward voice, Li Qiu thought that his distance was still too far, so he took a few more steps, "Have you forgotten the Celestial Planetarium that you wanted to take down You Sufei before?" β
"I remember this, but at that time, we seemed to judge that at least the "Spring Orange" team was not the one that wanted to harm You Sufei, after all, if it was "Spring Orange", they would have too many opportunities to start. β
Out of caution, Li Qiu glanced back, "Zi Ying, you help me keep an eye on them, and tell me as soon as there is a situation." β
"Okay."
Li Qiu, who had been assured by Zi Ying, relieved herself a little, and she continued to explain to Zhuang Xu, "That's right, there are two things that can be determined now, one is that there are two factions of celestial planetarians on this starship, among them, the goal of the "Spring Orange" faction is not to fly quickly; Second, it is the Marks faction that is now in a state of unconditional attack, and their purpose should be the missing stray arrows. β
"That's right."
Li Qiu's words gave Zhuang Xu inspiration, and he suddenly understood Li Qiu's two possible meanings.
Obviously, Li Qiu had just asked him if You Sufei was by his side, in order to confirm You Sufei's current state.
And the meaning of grasping with both hands is undoubtedly that You Sufei must protect it, and the stray arrow thorn they inadvertently obtained must also be guarded.
"Li Qiu," Zhuang Xu, who understood the meaning, painfully loosened the shoulder muscle groups that had begun to warn his central processing system, "Because my current posture is really a little uncomfortable, let me make a long story short, one, I understand what you meant before, two, You Sufei, you can rest assured that you can leave it to me and Xingchuan, three, the shield given by that person before Xingchuan has been studied, and he said that the design of that is indeed a bit ingenious, but first, the shielding range is pitifully small, and second, it can only deal with the stray arrows in the ordinary state at most, in other words-"
"In other words," Li Qiu quickly cut off Zhuang Xu's words, "once I successfully change the stray arrow spur to the combat preparation state, then I will be able to successfully stealth with them using the shield, right?" β
Zhuang Xu looked at the large black halo that appeared in front of him at some point, and insisted on responding, "Yes." β
"Last question, did Starcom say what the shielding range of the shield is?"
"About two meters, no more than three meters at most."
"Okay, I see, we'll get in touch when we have something."
βOKγβ
Almost at the moment when he finished answering this sentence, Zhuang Xu's eyes were completely plunged into darkness.
"Dahai, how is my health now?"
"It's best to get anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour of sleep right away."
Zhuang Xu closed his eyes vigorously: "Big brother, can you open your eyes and take a good look at the situation outside?" Is now the time to find time to sleep? β
"Hmm......" the sea was indifferent, "aren't your eyes seeing things now?" β
"Well," Zhuang Xu hurriedly responded, thinking that the sea was going to give him some super trick, "and then?" β
"And then?" "And I'm sure I can't see anything, have you forgotten that I'm in your body?" How can you see me if you can't see me? β
I don't know if I was angry and delusional, but now Zhuang Xu felt that a small golden star in front of him was blingbling spinning and jumping in the dark, singing and dancing.
"Whew-"
Zhuang Xu exhaled very slowly and slightly, "The sea, is there any way to change my current physical condition without resting?" β
"Absolutely."
Zhuang Xu, who was about to continue listening, waited for a while, and he suddenly realized that the sea was actually just answering his every question mechanically.
A roar of anger rushed to the top of Zhuang Xu's head, and then the light that came out of the crack could clearly see Zhuang Xu's entire face that was so red that it was about to turn black.
AS IF THE VOICE FROM THE DEEPEST PART OF HELL VIBRATED BACK AND FORTH IN ZHUANG XU'S XIONG (SOUND) CAVITY: "BIG-SEAββ! β
As always, the flat voice: "Well, I'm here." β
"Whew-"
A fiery breath with a faintly visible firelight erupted from Zhuang Xu's nostrils: "The sea, I've thought about it, our storage space is too precious, considering the current emergency situation, why don't you check some of your storage resources first." β
"Oh, okay, I'm going to- aha? Whatββ? β
The flat voice suddenly went crazy halfway through, first soaring into the sky like a jet, and finally ending with a split splitting apart.
"Ge~~~ what?"
Thanks to his wise and wise self and the sea who has suddenly become obsessed with bitter dramas recently, after many years, after countless hours of not being able to listen to "Man and Nature", Zhuang Xu finally heard the 100% authentic pure sheep trill here in the sea.
If it weren't for the urgency of the situation now, Zhuang Xu would have to drop a few plates to let the sea have a long memory.
But at critical moments, every minute and second is related to the change of the situation.
"Dahai, didn't you just say that there is a way to change my current physical state? What is it? β
Although I don't know why the topic suddenly turned to this, because her current spiritual food is being firmly held in the other party's hand, the sea replied quickly, "Just change your body settings." β
Probably because he was too frightened, the sea that had taken the initiative to change his name suddenly began to use Zhuang Xu's honorific title again.
"Do you need me to help you change your state now? For the current special situation, the sea recommends that you use the 'Kryptonian' status. β
Zhuang Xu, who was made to laugh a little by the sea's urgent change of title, tried to calm his voice: "'Kryptonite'? β
"Yes, my dear Mr. Zhuang Xu," Dahai explained to Zhuang Xu very enthusiastically, "The 'Kryptonian people' are the 'Kryptonian planet species' that became extinct about a hundred years ago, and their special skill is that they can bend their bodies into any form. β
"Any form?" Zhuang Xu was shocked, "Does it mean that even the three states of solid, liquid and gas can be converted at will?" β
"Of course, my dear Lord Zhuang Xu."
"Wow!" Zhuang Xu opened his eyes, which he couldn't see at the moment, "If you can do it to this extent, shouldn't it be invincible in the world?" Why are they still extinct? β
"Because of the resources."
"Resources?"
"That's right, their ability to bend into any form of body not only means that they can be the best human weapons, but also means that they can withstand all the living conditions in the universe, but correspondingly, the price of using this skill is the extremely rare glazed silica resources even if you look at the entire universe."
