Volume 1: The Choice of Fate Chapter 62. The direction of the runic power's clues
The strange purple-red color was like a heat treatment after the right arm was warmed up, but it was followed by a bulge of muscles on Zhang He's right arm, like a cell swelling.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang He's right arm was more than three times larger, and the back of his hand, which was as big as a bowl, was covered with green tendons.
Just when Zheng Zhong and Ma Jie, who didn't know what to do, were dumbfounded, Zhang He suddenly shouted.
As his voice fell, the metal ground under Zhang He's feet suddenly sank a little, causing him to step on a pair of footprints, and several twisted symbols appeared on his swollen right arm.
Although these symbols are visible to the naked eye, they seem to be extremely thin, and they seem to rotate gently with the right arm as the core arch guard, making Zhang He's right arm look mysterious.
After completing this series again, Zhang He's face looked extremely tired, and he took a few deep gasps before recovering some of his state.
"This is the mutant bone marrow that you think I can't control, and now I can activate it freely, but with full dedication like just now, the ingredients displayed are larger, and if it is usually applied to actual combat, it can just be attached to the surface of the skin!"
"Last time I was facing the vine thorns of the three tree people, I saw a red light appear, but then it disappeared, I thought I was dazzled, but now that I think about it, it should be you who borrowed the ability of the mutant bone marrow to grab the vine thorns in the air, right?" Ye Shuang looked at Zhang He's right arm and asked softly.
Nodding silently, Zhang He admitted that he had used this power at the beginning, and then looked at Mu Chen, the reason why Zhang He would do this was also his own considerations.
Although the ability to awaken the mutant bone marrow this time is more of a performance, in fact, Zhang He wanted to show those mysterious runes to Mu Chen.
Perhaps Mu Chen, who is more experienced in the field of scientific research, has seen it, because after Zhang He reawakened the dormant alienated cells, there was always an inexplicable call for this kind of rune in his heart.
This feeling is extremely mysterious, and the voice is far long, but for this kind of voice, Zhang He can't understand it at all.
Silently walking to Zhang He's side, Mu Chen leaned his body over, his eyes squinting slightly.
In such a posture, after a few more minutes of silence, Mu Chen suddenly woke up and shouted, "I remember, I remember that I used to see this kind of symbol there!" β
Along with Mu Chen's words, a fire also appeared in Zhang He's eyes, if with Mu Chen's hands, he could really solve the mysterious runes, then Zhang He believed that at that time, it would be the moment when he really mastered the power to dominate life.
Because in the depths of Zhang He's heart, this feeling is very strong, more like a mission engraved in his bones.
However, just as Mu Chen wanted to take a closer look at it, Zhang He's body suddenly trembled involuntarily, and then a wave of sweat broke out on his face, and even his body was a little unstable.
Subconsciously, Mu Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand to support Zhang He, but at the moment when Zhang He's body was weakened, the power of the runes dissipated in the air at an extremely fast speed, and then the exaggerated muscles and weird purple-red skin on Zhang He's right arm also began to fade rapidly.
Everything was like a dream, coming and going fast, and when the power of the abnormal bone marrow on his right arm completely disappeared, Zhang He suddenly felt as if his body was hollowed out, and even the strength to stand was a little missing.
Looking at Zhang He, who was almost sitting on the ground, Mu Chen nodded slightly heavily and said, "It seems that this should be a weakness after the outburst, just like you said, there is no need for such an exaggerated performance in a real battle, so its energy consumption should be relatively small!" β
"But your full outburst this time is like your second battle with Chi Jiufeng, at that time, you not only burst out with the power you call runes, but also used the ability of alienating eyes at the same time, so you weakened faster, and even fell into a coma for a while!"
Hearing what Mu Chen said, Zhang He's eyes were obviously a little flustered, and he asked weakly, "Then will the alienated cells in my body fall into dormancy again this time?" β
After thinking for more than ten seconds, Mu Chen slowly shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, last time it wasn't the dormancy of alienated cells, it was more like the weak cooling after your extreme outburst, in other words, if you can analyze it next, what energy did you replenish during your hospitalization?" You can also know what kind of energy is needed for this force? β
Nodding silently, Zhang He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, while Mu Chen turned his gaze to Chi Jiufeng: "It seems that Zhang He has provided a rather weighty gift for the third district, if I am not mistaken, the rune on his right arm should have been seen when I was in school!" β
"You've seen it?" Chi Jiufeng said suspiciously, because he and Mu Chen were friends who were almost never separated when he was in the academy, and of course, Mu Chen's fiancΓ©e who had mysteriously disappeared.
So when Mu Chen said that he had seen this kind of rune, Chi Jiufeng was a little puzzled, because he had fought against Zhang He more than once, but he didn't have any impression of this mysterious rune.
"Do you remember Professor Sima?" Mu Chen smiled a little and said.
With Mu Chen's words, Chi Jiufeng's brows furrowed a little, and after being silent for more than ten seconds, he suddenly looked at Mu Chen and said, "Is it the professor of the history department you helped for credits back then?" Sima Hong, who always went to the Calamity Land to investigate the ruins? β
Chuckling and nodding, Mu Chen also took a deep breath, as if he was caught in the memories of the past, and said softly: "Although I only helped him for a week, during that week, he taught me what is called the persistence of scientific researchers, if I remember correctly, he seemed to be investigating the ancient ancestor civilization at that time." β
"Of course, the things he investigated have always been more prescriptive, and there is very little substantive evidence, but presumably when he sees the mysterious rune on Zhang He's right arm, I'm afraid he will also fall into madness, right?"
"If that's what you say, then the first task of District 3 seems to be to send someone to hire this history professor?" Chi Jiufeng asked suspiciously.
It's just that Mu Chen shook his head: "Don't worry, the rune that appeared on Zhang He's right arm just now, I have already recorded it with the recording function on the watch, since I already have a preliminary direction, I think there should be some information about the ancient ancestors in the database of the Devourer Base, I am going to investigate first, and go to Professor Sima with questions, maybe it will arouse his interest in joining us!" β
"By the way, I also confirmed whether the runes on Zhang He's right arm belonged to the font of the ancient ancestors, right?" Chi Jiufeng smiled and said to Mu Chen.
Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Mu Chen showed a smile that you understand me very well.
It seems that at this moment, the two of them in the academy have tacitly understood each other again, but in the next second, Chi Jiufeng saw a moment of loneliness in Mu Chen's eyes.
Chi Jiufeng knew in his heart that although the two of them almost never mentioned the past, what they had lost between the two of them might never come back, which had to be said to be a thorn in Chi Jiufeng's heart that could never be removed.
However, just as Mu Chen and Chi Jiufeng fell silent one after another, Zheng Zhong and Ma Jie stared at each other at the same time, especially Zheng Zhong, who swallowed saliva in his throat after rubbing his eyes frantically.
Immediately, Zheng Zhong stabbed Ma Jie with his elbow and said, "I said it wasn't me dazzled just now, right?" If I heard it right, and the logical thinking of the brain is okay, Zhang He's kid turned out to be a devourer, and an unheard of double alienated devourer? β
Hearing Zheng Zhong's words, Ma Jie nodded quickly, and after a few seconds of silence, he seemed to suddenly react to something, and turned around and slapped Zheng Zhong's face.
You must know how big and thick Ma Jie looks, he used to be a soldier king in the army of ordinary district strengtheners, and his own strength is one level higher than Zheng Zhong's level, just after this slap was slapped, Zheng Zhong fell to the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
"That's right, it's not a dream, it's really a double alienated eater!" Ma Jie's mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Zhang He who was sitting on the ground recovering his strength with a look of surprise.
It's just that in the next second, Zheng Zhong jumped up suddenly, stretched out his foot and wanted to kick towards Ma Jie, but a palm the size of a fan grabbed Zheng Zhong's foot.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Jie said to Zheng Zhong: "In the past, you took advantage of me, and I am not stupid, this time I just made countermeasures in advance!" β
"Deal with you wool, you bastard, dare to hit your young master and me, see if I don't kick you to death, you let go of me, you kind of let go of me!"
At this moment, Zheng Zhong's habit of the rich second generation of the Demon King of the Mixed World completely broke out, after all, he was accompanied by evil slaves when he was at home, and after coming to the Devourer Base, he used his wealth to open the way, and for more than a month, he really didn't suffer any big grievances.
Seeing that Ma Jie didn't let go, Zheng Zhong waved his arm and shouted angrily: "Ma Jie! You wait for me, and when I am injected with the second-generation strong base element, I must take revenge for this, see if I don't hang you up and smoke your ass! β
However, the corners of Ma Jie's mouth suddenly showed a light smile and said: "Don't forget, I also have a second-generation strong base element, and don't say anything else, with the same strength, can't I, the former king of soldiers, beat you as a rich second generation?" What's more, do you really dare to hit me? β
At this moment, Ma Jie's state of performance, even Zhang He, who was recovering, was a little puzzled, because Ma Jie usually looked extremely honest, and always looked at Zheng Zhong as the horse's head, but today it seems to have become too extreme.
"Let your dad stinky fart, what don't I dare to beat? Ma Jie, I really can't see that you kid has the ability to rise to heaven with your feet facing up and your mouth spraying up? β
It's just that at the moment when Zheng Zhong's words fell, Mu Chen suddenly coughed, interrupting the noisy two, and then said to Zheng Zhong: "Don't say it, if his father puts a stinky fart, just your father's character, maybe he will praise a few words of true fragrance!" β
