23 Chapter 23
In the void, a sticky chewing sound sounded.
[System, I warn you, if you simulate the sounds of your swallowing, drooling, and eating in my mind, I won't share it with you next time. γ
Bai Yu warned the system while gnawing on the monster's corpse.
If he had known that the system would be perverted to simulate a voice in his head, he wouldn't have given this guy a single ounce of energy.
[Don't be so white, I finally got to eat such delicious spiritual energy, I just want to share with you how fragrant it is, it's really fragrant, it's so fragrant, it's so fragrant. γ
For the same thing, the taste that Bai Yu felt when he ate it was completely different from the wonderful feeling when the system absorbed spiritual energy.
The system felt that it should pass on this wonderful feeling to Bai Yu.
So it came up with the idea of simulating the sound, but the sound was a bit uncomfortable.
I don't know if it was intentional or accidental.
[The sound you simulated didn't make me feel the feeling of directly absorbing spiritual energy at all, I only felt discomfort in my stomach. γ
Bai Yu swallowed the meat in his throat and covered his stomach expressionlessly.
[Then I'll change the method, you can imagine that if I eat this thing, it will be the same as if you eat Chu Zehuai. γ
The system pondered for a few seconds, then changed the way.
[To be correct, I haven't eaten him yet, at least not yet.] γ
Bai Yu finished eating his part, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the overly energetic system.
It's a bit of a stretch.
He simply bypassed the mottled blood stains on the ground and sat down on the half-downed bed to rest, glancing at the crack in the middle of the bed.
Through the cracks, the dusty floor came into view.
Sure enough, as expected, there was dust under the bed, but fortunately I didn't choose to get into it in the end.
Bai Yu would rather let his vines climb the wall and climb from the wall to the ceiling than let the smooth ones be stained with a pile of dust.
Having said that, my wall-climbing skills are becoming more and more proficient, and I deserve it.
Bai Yu held his cheeks and thought about the mess, but suddenly saw the diary in his hand burning with raging black and red flames, and suddenly, the two fingers closest to the diary were burned by the fire.
The flames seemed to come from outside, coming down without warning, with anger and great coercion.
The system that was chewing food suddenly began to scream: [Bai Yu! There's a higher level of contaminants coming! We can't beat it now, run and run, I used a player's protection card for you. γ
[Okay.] γ
Without hesitation, Bai Yu jumped up from the bed and ran towards the door.
He was willing to play with the waiter monster outside the door, watching the other party wander around the room like a clown, but because he felt that the other party's strength was not enough to fear, he simply let the other party 'experience' the fear of being dominated by the dungeon boss that the players had felt.
He thinks he's quite caring, after all, it's a paid project.
But this new pollutant is far stronger than his current self, and he is still the most restrained plant flame system.
So Bai Yu chose to pull his legs and run..... Ahem, it's the choice of a strategic retreat.
If you should be reluctant, you will retaliate back when your strength is strong, this is the valuable experience that the dungeon boss has summed up over the years.
With the help of the player protection card, except for two fingers burned by the fire at the beginning, Bai Yu was not injured by the raging fire behind him.
When the black and red tongues of fire slammed in, he finally ran to the door of the room and pulled the door open.
The black pupils constricted violently.
Waves of blazing golden fire poured in from outside the door, rushing directly towards him with an unstoppable terrifying aura and an ultra-high temperature that was enough to distort space.
The two flames met at the door, and Bai Yu was caught in the face.
"I@#%#Β₯......"
When they meet like each other, if they can't cooperate, then only competition remains, after all, resources are limited.
The same is true of flames, two powerful flames meet, fighting each other to the death, devouring each other and being annihilated by each other, fighting for the only remaining oxygen.
The air in the room suddenly decreased, leaving only a large amount of smoke from the burning flames, and the eye could only see five centimeters in front of him, and nothing else could be seen.
In the choking smell of smoke, Bai Yu faintly smelled the smell of hot vegetables.
He seems to be ripe........
Whew-
The late wind blew away some of the smoke, and the familiar strong scent muffled all the unpleasant scents of the plant, and a pair of hands hugged his waist from the front, and the scorching heat passed through the fabric on his waist.
Almost instantly, Bai Yu was carried away from the sea of fire.
The wind whistling in his ears made a whistling sound, and as the altitude increased, the temperature of the wind gradually decreased, and the first thing Bai Yu saw when he regained his vision was a white neck close at hand, and the electronic numbers of the black collar that kept jumping up.
Bai Yu: ..... This plot seems a little too familiar.
No wonder the books say that history always repeats itself.
Their posture is exactly the same as the first time they met, except that the first time they met, they were hugged with their backs to the hug, and this time they were hugged directly opposite.
Bai Yu could feel the other party's beating heart and body temperature, which was far beyond normal human temperature, and when he looked down, he saw a sea of fire that had been connected below.
Below, the golden flames and the black-red flames are still playing, and the entire coastline of Linhai City is illuminated by fire as if the sky is bright, and the two flames are fighting to the death, which is extremely dangerous.
In the end, it was the golden flames that prevailed, eating away at the black-red flames in a gradual enveloping posture, the latter protruding left and right, and the black part changed into the ferocity of the boar for a while, and then into a snake moving from side to side.
But that didn't change the situation, and it was still firmly trapped between the Dongzhou Sea and the golden flames.
After a while, the black-red flame seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and suddenly changed into the appearance of a fish, and plunged headlong into the Dongzhou Sea.
A huge amount of white water vapor suddenly steamed, enveloping most of Linhai City almost instantly.
In the mist, Chu Zehuai looked at the black-red flames that escaped, his golden-orange pupils narrowed slightly, with coldness and a hint of excitement that was not perceptible.
The golden flames began to burn and condense on the tips of his feathers, and the temperature around him increased once again to condense.
The number on his neck began to soar wildly, and in the blink of an eye, it was 11998.
Wait a minute.........
He seemed to have forgotten something crucial.

"First, why did 'Burning Silence' suddenly accelerate to Dongzhou? Obviously, at the rate we saw before, it should be three or four days before it arrives, and it should have been stimulated by something, for example, the Death Hotel. β
"Second, 'Silence' is a pollutant on the awakening side of the fire element, but now it can not only drive at high speed on the sea surface, but also transform into a fish and jump into the water to escape, which is extremely abnormal."
"Thirdly, where is the A-class pollutant death hotel now? It seemed to have vanished out of thin air, but unlike the previous disappearances, this time it left no mental fluctuations and pollution value fluctuations at all. β
In the conference room, the director of the Linhai City Investigation Bureau summarized the suspicions of this incident, and then turned his gaze to Chu Zehuai, who was sitting next to him,
"Is there anything else you would like to add?"
Chu Zehuai curled his fingers and tapped on the table, and added lazily:
"Burning Silence is here to save the Death Hotel, they have a private connection, but it failed, and Burning Silence did not leave with the Death Hotel in the end."
The reason why 'Burning Silence' accelerated to Dongzhou is that it converges with the 'Death Hotel'.
Compared to human beings, the emotions contained in the flames are much simpler, not to mention that Chu Zehuai has coexisted with the golden flames for so many years, and he can roughly understand the emotions of 'burning silence'.
'Silence' is angry at the demise of the Death Hotel.
But the strange thing is that the main body of the Death Hotel was not killed by him, obviously he could still perceive it one second, and the next second it disappeared inexplicably.
Chu Zehuai fell into thought.
The director of the Linhai City Investigation Bureau had a solemn face.
"One of them is in the West Continent and the other is in the South Continent, how are they connected? But that makes sense, as for the incineration and diving..... Since these two pollutants can be secretly linked, it is normal for them to be connected to some marine pollutants, and it may be that the latter helped the incineration leave. β
The people in the conference room began to discuss, put forward various conjectures and then rejected them, and in the end did not come to a conclusion that convinced everyone.
In the end, the director of the bureau made a decision, saying that he would first investigate and appease the masses to make up for the losses, and then discuss it after there were further clues.
After all, if there is only such a little clue, nothing can be discussed in the discussion, and it will only turn into a meaningless quarrel in the end.
Chu Zehuai nodded: "Although the incineration ran away, it was seriously injured, and it will not become a threat in a short time, you test the sea water it fled from, and there may be traces of other pollutants." β
"Okay."
"Also, if you pay attention to the marine pollutants swimming from the estuary, I always think it's quite abnormal."
He understands that marine pollutants get up from the shore and attack the city.
But it's strange that marine pollutants swim up rivers and hit inland cities directly.
It's not like it's predatory, it's more like it's attracted to something..... Or, to be manipulated and forced.
"Hmm."
The S-class contaminant came once, but it did not cause particularly large casualties, just grilled a large number of fish, shrimp and shellfish on the coast.
It's a blessing in misfortune.

In the medical room of the Linhai City Investigation Bureau
"Xiaobai, let me tell you, I almost thought that my brother was going to go berserk again, after all, that value was too high at the beginning, and it was almost about to turn into a yellow value."
Lin Mo carried a small bench and sat in front of the hospital bed, looking at Bai Yu on the bed distressedly.
"Really? Is it that serious? I didn't feel it at the time, it just felt so hot. β
Bai Yu looked at the two fingers of his right hand that could no longer be changed, and sighed.
"It's really serious, if my brother had caught up with him at that time, the value would have gone up, but fortunately he finally chose to put you back, in a sense, you managed to keep him green! Now you're both green. β
Lin Mo thought back to the green on his brother's neck, glanced at the green on the other party's fingers, and said.
"But I don't want to keep it green now, Lin Mo, you help me get a pair of scissors and cut off my fingers."
Those two fingers were caught off guard by the fire before, and in his perception, the plant cells on the fingers had gradually shrunk from full of vitality to death, exuding the smell of hot vegetables, and could never be changed back.
Only by removing the dead plant cells will new cells grow.
"Okay."
Although this sound a little scary, Lin Mo chose to believe and help his little friend.
He rummaged through the cabinet and found a pair of scissors, and after determining the position with Bai Yu, he began to cut from the bottom of the branch.
"Boom-"
With a crisp sound, a silver light crossed a perfect arc in the air, and finally landed on the figure who pushed open the door and entered.
"What is this..... Iron sheets? β
Chu Zehuai, who had just walked in, caught this little thing by reflex as soon as he came in, and when he looked up, he saw his younger brother holding a pair of scissors with only the handle of the scissors left.
"It's scissors, Lin Mo is helping me cut off the dead cells, but I didn't expect the scissors to be so brittle."
Bai Yu sat up from the bed, coughed several times, and finally lay back weakly.
"Is it so badly hurt?" Chu Zehuai sat on the edge of the bed and lowered his eyes to look at Bai Yu's two fingers that couldn't be changed.
"yes, I feel like I'm really hurt, I'm dying, I think I'm coughing cough-"
Bai Yu held the other party's hand with his intact left hand, his face pale, like a person who was about to confess his last words before he died.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's going to get fine, it's definitely not going to die."
Chu Zehuai clenched the other party's hand, and the cold and smooth touch came from the palm of his hand.
β.... I feel like half of the fire that burned me so hard is yours. β
Bai Yu couldn't hold back his cough twice, and finally said the second half of the sentence, he lay on the bed, looked at Chu Zehuai, who had a stiff expression for a moment, and sighed faintly,
"Team Chu, you are so burning, I really can't bear it."
Chu Zehuai: .........
Those golden-orange eyes unconsciously drifted to other places, and it was rare to have a little weakness in them.
Lin Mo: ....... Why does this sound so strange?
Chu Zehuai didn't notice anything, his eyes turned back again, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Then why don't you burn it back?" β
Bai Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, he is a plant, where can he manipulate fire?
He let go of the hand holding the other party, and then motioned for the other party to come closer, and then he stretched out his left hand, and his white fingertips quickly leaned overβ
Hooked the monitor on the other person's neck.
There was a sudden force in his hand, and almost instantly, the burning breath reached the tip of his nose.
In those stunned golden-orange eyes, Bai Yu bit the other party's neck and shoulder junction fiercely, and the smell of blood permeated.
β...... Okay, now we're even. β
