Chapter 967: Chapter 362: Fire Bamboo Insect King (2)
At that moment, Gao Jie quickly led the patrol team, swiftly entering the bamboo forest to search for traces of the Fire Bamboo Insect King.
The three-person teams advanced cautiously, indicating that this team was well-trained and familiar with the task of tracking mutant beasts.
Liang Yuan and Dong Yan sat down where they were, waiting for the patrol team’s findings.
It was a three-day wait.
In those three days, the patrol team that entered the Fire Bamboo Forest still hadn’t found any clues about the Fire Bamboo Insect King.
Although Liang Yuan wasn’t in a hurry, he sensed that something was amiss.
He called Gao Jie over: "Has such a situation happened before?"
Gao Jie shook his head: "This Fire Bamboo Forest is the territory of the Fire Bamboo Insect King, any foreign creature entering will be attacked by it."
"Our team has gone in several times before, and each time we were ambushed by the Fire Bamboo Insect King."
"I don’t know why there’s no movement this time."
Liang Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Could it be that it feels threatened and is quietly observing us?"
Gao Jie said helplessly: "I’m not sure, Mr. Liang. Perhaps we should have Teacher Li come over."
Liang Yuan thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, let others withdraw and send someone to notify Li Yuejin."
Li Yuejin’s superpower is [Spiritual Brand], which allows him to imprint a target mentally, and as long as the target appears within his vicinity, he can sense it immediately.
"Yes, Mr. Liang."
Gao Jie quickly sent someone to inform Li Yuejin to come over.
At the same time, he instructed others to withdraw from the Fire Bamboo Forest.
Soon, Li Yuejin was brought over by the patrol team, and under Liang Yuan’s arrangement, Li Yuejin and several patrol team members re-entered the Fire Bamboo Forest.
In the sky, Tu Long transformed into an eagle, circling above to provide support at any moment.
Perhaps because there were fewer people entering the forest this time, the Fire Bamboo Insect King, losing its vigilance, finally revealed its traces after half a day.
In the Fire Bamboo Forest, the ground was covered with red and green bamboo leaves.
Stalks of fiery red Fire Bamboo stood tall, and several team members moved through them, occasionally needing to cut down some Fire Bamboo to clear a path.
Bang!
Another stalk of Fire Bamboo was chopped down, and a patrol team member’s bone saber made a cracking sound as the bone split.
Everyone looked over, and Li Yuejin couldn’t help but say: "Xiaoli, you need to replace your bone saber."
The patrol team member named Xiaoli scratched his head and said: "I heard the armory at the shopping center is about to release a new batch of superpower weapons, so I’ve been making do with this one, waiting to replace it when the new weapons hit the shelves."
"New superpower weapons?" someone asked in surprise.
Xiaoli said: "Don’t you know? Mr. Liang and the others brought back a few masters in superpower weapon manufacturing this time."
"They’ve worked together to develop new superpower weapons, apparently combining rune technology with mutated beast bone materials."
Immediately, everyone was interested and asked eagerly.
The previous superpower weapons at the shelter were mostly enhanced with the sharpness superpower by Yang Shenmin, adding an edge to the bone weapons.
Later, Old Yang and others found a way to combine talisman stones with bone weapons, also making some decent weapons.
But compared to what Fu Qibo, Ren Jie, and others researched, directly drawing rune technology on mutated beast bones was significantly superior.
With the return of Gao Li and the others, the newly revealed weapons immediately caused a stir in a small circle.
Many people knew new weapons were about to be available at the shelter, eagerly anticipating them.
Li Yuejin naturally knew this too, and he smiled slightly; he was more aware of the new weapons than the others.
Because he had joined the research team and was currently involved in the development of new weapons with Old Yang and Professor Li.
Upon hearing the team’s chatter, he spoke up: "Xiaoli keeps well-informed. If you can wait a bit, just hold on; it looks like the new weapons will be available before Sea Tide."
"This batch of new weapons includes quite a few practical ones, including armor, weapons, and auxiliary weapons."
Everyone was immediately very interested, wanting to inquire for more details.
Suddenly, at this moment, a buzzing sound came from the sky.
Several patrol team members’ expressions changed, and they immediately shouted: "Not good, the Insect King is here!"
The others, without hesitation, activated the defense talisman stones on their chests immediately.
Pieces of yellow-brown scale armor quickly covered their bodies.
At the same time, a turtle shell-like transparent spirit defense shield was activated!
Spirit Turtle Shield and Stone Armor!
The patrol team members received excellent benefits and were each equipped with these two types of defense talisman stones.
These talisman stones were only available for purchase at the shopping center, crafted by Liang Yuan himself.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, three dull thuds echoed, and three figures were sent flying.
However, the patrol team members were unharmed, protected by the Spirit Turtle Shield while wearing Stone Armor.
Xiaoli looked up to see a green figure flashing in the sky, disappearing into the bamboo forest shortly after.
The facial expressions of several people changed slightly, and they shouted together.
"Insect King!"
"Fire Bamboo Insect King!"
"Quickly, inform Mr. Liang!"
In reality, no verbal notification was needed, as Li Yuejin had already cast the Spiritual Brand.
Even though the green figure vanished, hidden among the bamboo forest, he could always sense its presence with his spiritual power.
"Bang——!"
A blast arrow was fired, producing an explosion and fireworks.
Outside the Fire Bamboo Forest, Liang Yuan abruptly opened his eyes.
"Found it!"
In the next moment, his silhouette blurred and instantly vanished.
Dong Yan and Gao Jie only reacted now, quickly standing up.
"It has appeared!" Gao Jie said immediately.
"Shall we go in?" Dong Yan hurriedly asked.
Gao Jie shook his head: "No, going in will only add trouble for Mr. Liang."
"Better to wait until Mr. Liang subdues the Fire Bamboo Insect King before going in."
Dong Yan nodded immediately upon hearing that.
Inside the Fire Bamboo Forest, Liang Yuan had already arrived in a flash.
He scanned everyone present, seeing no one was injured, he then looked at Li Yuejin, asking, "Where’s the Fire Bamboo Insect King?"
Li Yuejin quickly responded: "It escaped into the bamboo forest, but I can sense it."
Liang Yuan immediately lifted Li Yuejin, saying: "You guide, I’ll chase."
Li Yuejin quickly nodded, pointing in a direction: "That way."
Swish! Swish swish!
Liang Yuan’s figure flickered several times, swiftly entering the Fire Bamboo Forest.
In just a few hundred meters, Li Yuejin immediately said: "It’s nearby, over there!"
He turned in a circle, suddenly pointing to a green Fire Bamboo and shouted.
Liang Yuan’s gaze swept over, noticing the entire Fire Bamboo was a dark green, with its top slightly tinged red.
At first glance, Liang Yuan didn’t notice anything unusual.
But in the next instant, he sensed something amiss.
His spiritual power quickly expanded, enveloping the Fire Bamboo.
Then, under his spiritual perception, he instantly discovered an unusual bamboo branch on top of the Fire Bamboo.
This branch emitted strong spiritual waves!
"Found it!"
Liang Yuan’s eyes narrowed, noticing this ’bamboo branch’ was also dark green throughout, with a hint of redness at its tips.
At a casual glance, it was almost identical to the bamboo branches here, even the surface texture was somewhat similar!
Liang Yuan’s eyes gleamed with a cold light.
"A true master of disguise!"
Buzz!
Without a second thought, Liang Yuan directly unleashed a Spirit Shock!
With a buzzing sound, the Fire Bamboo Insect King, thinking it was cleverly hidden, suddenly had its head jolt with dizziness and pain.
It could no longer hide, flapping its wings in a hasty escape!
However, just as it flapped its wings, a figure suddenly appeared in front of it.
In the next moment, a large hand grabbed one of its hind limbs fiercely.
This creature was hard all over, resembling Fire Bamboo, segment by segment.
Its wings were fiery red, slightly transparent, fluttering like two flames.
Liang Yuan smiled coldly, his eyes shimmering with a ghostly light, his spiritual power transformed into countless tendrils, directly infiltrating its neural network.
Strings of Puppet Threads took control of the opponent.
At the same time, a parasite species silently and stealthily embedded itself into the Fire Bamboo Insect King’s sea of consciousness!
After a series of operations, the Fire Bamboo Insect King lost all will to resist.
Its vibrating wings came to a halt and it gradually landed next to Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan glanced at it, seeing the Fire Bamboo Insect King lying on the ground like a fallen Fire Bamboo.
It was quite long, over two meters, with a body as thick as a regular Fire Bamboo and limbs resembling small bamboo branches.
Truly deserving of the title of a master of disguise.
