Chapter 030: Battlefield
At this moment, small arcs of electricity surged from time to time in the woods, and thousands of arcs struck the solar sails, providing energy for the Phantom.
"This, this is incredible!" Linciso's mouth opened wide in surprise.
John laughed, "It's nothing, it's normal with us." The Jinfeng Empire was dominated by agriculture and forestry, and for thousands of years, remote areas have developed the habit of planting electric trees to meet their living needs. This is much more environmentally friendly than a nuclear power plant, and it is not as dangerous as an anti-matter collider. There is a poor road, and a rich road is rich. Since it has a large territory, it has to plant a large area of electric trees to provide additional energy for the Phantom. ”
"Electric tree? There are such strange plants in the universe, and such a large forest sea is almost impossible to see, is it all the uncle's territory? ”
"About 10,000 square kilometers! There is no particular dividing line. This planet is called Grimm, it is very far away from the main channel, the mineral resources are almost negligible, those nobles at most come to hunt, occasionally enjoy the local atmosphere, even if the electric tree grows on other people's territory, they will not notice. There are several cities in the northern hemisphere of Grimm, with a total population of less than five million, that export green food and jerky at very cheap prices, so there is no need to worry about going hungry. ”
"The air is so fresh! Can I go for a walk in the woods? "Linciso is fascinated by nature.
John hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't mess around, because of the existence of the electric tree, there are very few animals here, and if you want to fight the tooth sacrifice, you will go to other territories to poach, and it is easy to be attacked by the arc if you venture in." ”
"That's it! Then I'd better stay on the boat. Lin Xisuo shrunk his neck, one or two arcs were fine, if a thousand arcs attacked together, it would be terrible, maybe he could try to communicate with the sea of trees and get their permission to go around the forest again.
Now that he is back in the Green Star, John is very interested, and said with a smile: "Sisoka, go to the captain's room and get my shotgun, let's go hunting together, and have dinner tonight." ”
"You mean poaching?" Lin Xiso asked cautiously.
"What to steal, what to steal, to be found out and say lost, don't you want to know my source ability? I'll show you a hand. ”
"Good! I'm going to get my shotgun. Linciso was so fast that he had retrieved his shotgun in a few breaths, and his face was very excited.
John laughed, "What an energetic young man, when I was your age, I was studying business at the academy!" By chance, my father realized that I was different from ordinary people, so he spent a lot of effort to help me become a martial monk. Unfortunately, this field is not as simple as I imagined, there is danger if you are not careful, and you are even more careful when you go out, and you only feel at ease when you return to Grimm. ”
"Uncle, don't be emotional, which direction are we sailing?"
"In the north, I remember that there is a mountain range in the north, and there are good black bears there, and it would be even better if you got wild honey."
The Phantom was speeding and soon came to the northern mountains, and the two looked at each other and smiled, jumped on the cruise, and walked on foot.
The mountain was lush and green, unknown insects cooed, and Linciso had never felt such a strong green breath, and all the pores of his body were opened, and he breathed the air freely.
Half a kilometer away, John suddenly stopped, lifted his shotgun and pulled the trigger.
With a gunshot, a long-eared guinea rabbit fell from the shade of a tree, and Linciso dodged to the front to find that there was no gunshot wound on the rabbit.
"Strange, Uncle John, how did you do that?"
"This is my source ability, which can fire a spiritual impact through a shotgun, because the fear is amplified hundreds of times, so the guinea rabbit is scared to death by the sound of the gun."
Lin Xiso looked at the rabbit and said in surprise: "It actually has the source ability to scare the opponent to death?" It's so big that there's no wonder! ”
Unexpectedly, John didn't show his signature smile, but said solemnly: "There is nothing special about the spiritual source ability, you are only surprised when you see it for the first time." If a martial monk is hit by me, at most he will fall into the quagmire of consciousness, and the degree of influence depends on the mental strength of the other party. People who are stronger than me don't have any adverse reactions. People who are weaker than me, or Wu Xiu who is not strong in willpower, become a vegetative person on the spot, just like this guinea rabbit, to be taken and taken. ”
After a pause in his voice, John said earnestly: "Sisoka, you have to remember that you can't show the slightest timidity when you encounter an opponent who is good at mental attacks, and sometimes you will be hypnotized by the other party with a single look. The first-level martial artist is too weak, and he has the protection of the Phantom for the time being, and he is afraid that he will go to other planets to do tasks in the future. We can take on most of the low-level tasks of the Adventure Guild, and others can also take them, which has a high chance of being in the air or-for-tat. The two of us focus on saving their lives, try to avoid other martial arts cultivators, be clever when doing things, give full play to your strengths, and transfer immediately when you see disadvantages. Because you don't know what kind of source ability the other person has. ”
Lin Xisuo was humbly taught, this is all experience, there is no room for sloppiness, and he said seriously: "I know that Uncle is for my good, and I don't want to hide anything in front of you, in fact, I also have a source ability to communicate with plants, and I feel very good in Grimmstar." ”
"Communicating plants? That's what the pharmacists are capable of. Tell us how you feel. John asked with interest.
Lin Xiso nodded and said, "Take it as an example, the flowers and plants around are all confiding in their hearts. About half a month ago, a large beast passed by, and the beast's feces were washed away by the rain, so that the flowers and plants here could get nutrients, so they were very happy. Another example is that there is a flower here that is in pollination season, but the pollinating insects have not arrived for a long time, so it is in a hurry. ”
"It's good, although it is possible to achieve a higher level of spiritual power, but those are two different things. The two source abilities coexist, and the zero point three refining crystals have been bought. ”
After the joy, John felt pity again: "Child, you are buried by my side." In order to get you up quickly, Red Storm used a damage move. Ten years of life is too short. But don't worry, I, Captain John, will find a way to keep you alive, so I'll freeze you first, drag you for ten or eight years, and rely on the speed of the Phantom to go to the First Galaxy, where the medical level is superb, and there are many capable people, and there will be no worries. ”
Although John likes to take advantage of small advantages, he is stingy and cunning. But once you identify yourself as your own person, you will definitely take care of it.
Lin Xisuo was very embarrassed and said: "Uncle, my situation is not quite the same as others, it should be no problem to live for ten or eight years longer." If the level is increased, it can also suppress the catalytic agent. So it doesn't matter how many more years you work. ”
"Really? You didn't lie to Uncle? ”
"Really! It's more real than pearls. ”
"Bastard, if you didn't say it earlier, I didn't dare to talk about this topic all the time. We'll renew your contract after you've worked for 10 years. Thirty years, no, fifty years, it's better to be an adjutant on the Phantom for the rest of your life. ”
John bought Linciso not to engage him in dangerous battles, but to relieve his boredom on a long journey, but ten years was too short for a warrior, so he was not in a good mood lately. Hearing that Hisoka had a chance to break free from the shackles, he suddenly went to a heart and laughed.
"Let's go, take the head of the black bears and go back, these black bears are the home planet creatures brought from the First Galaxy during the interstellar migration, and the indigenous creatures are not as powerful as them, so they are the kings and hegemons in the mountains of Grimm, and we will eat bear paws tonight."
The two of them stepped into the dense forest, and Lin Xisuo communicated with the plants everywhere he went, and those flowers and plants were the best to talk to, but they simply wanted to grow. Towering trees are difficult to do, and they are slow to respond, so if you want to get information from them, you have to sit down and make careful connections, otherwise you won't succeed.
After looking for a long time, there was nothing but the guinea rabbit at the beginning, and John couldn't help but shout: "Usually there are many black bears in the mountains, what's wrong today?" Did these guys know that I was going to eat bear paws and deliberately dodge it? What a wicked door! ”
"Uncle, don't worry, I'll feel it."
Lin Xisuo chose a towering tree, sat down under the tree and put his palm on the root of the tree, ten minutes passed, suddenly opened his eyes, and gasped.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"A group of people came twenty days ago, and they stepped on the top of the tree, and then a strong shock wave came from a distant place, and the shock wave was very weak when it reached here, but there was still a radiation leak, which made a deep impression on the trees. Because radiation affects both animals and plants, most of the animals flee from this area, do we go ahead and take a look? ”
John thought for a moment, nodded and said: "So there are people in the mountains to do it, it's good to go and see, it must be those nobles who have nothing to do come here to duel, they often fight for fame and beauty, and the nobles often do not go through legal procedures, and like to settle disputes in private." This is similar to those big chaebols, where all grievances are settled in the Outer Galaxy, but according to your description, someone must have used a prohibited weapon. ”
John was a cautious man, and with a gentle tat on the waist, the Phantom came to the top of his head in an instant.
The two of them jumped hard and landed on deck at the same time, and the Phantom flashed away, and when it reappeared, it was already kilometers away.
"Is this it? The radiation is indeed far exceeded. ”
The 100-meter radius is like a crater caused by the fall of a meteorite, and the surrounding trees have collapsed in a radial manner, except that these seem to have been cleaned, there is nothing special.
After reading it, John felt that no matter which side of the noble duel failed, someone would always collect the corpse.
"Uncle, I'll go down and have a look." Linciso jumped from the ship, and the crater was already sandified, and the most central position was even crystallized, probably the result of a small-yield nuclear bomb.
"Please, peacock, don't shake again, my heart is about to be numb, damn it, say something."
"There is an energy reaction, it is crystal refining, one hundred and one steps on the left side."
"Nonsense, if there is an energy reaction, the Phantom will not know?"
"The Phantom is just an ancient E-class interstellar cruise ship, older than this amulet, she doesn't have the ability to accurately detect energy reactions, unless the captain asks for a scan, in other words, the sensitivity is low, and only when it reaches the D or C level can it surpass this amulet."
Linciso had a pact with the amulet to keep its existence a secret. Walking a hundred steps away, I didn't expect to really make a discovery.
