Chapter 81: Flash

"Phew, we finally got it done. I was a little worried at first. If there was a self-aware guy among these Killians, we would definitely have to fight hard. It seems that we are lucky. Nearly two white-haired Killians are all brainless ordinary Hollows."

Gu Shi finally relaxed after leaving behind the eleventh pointed nose that was already tattered and could no longer be used as a dagger. At his feet lay a large number of Killians who had lost the ability to resist.

It has to be said that when Killian fights with his own kind at this level, although the strength of his opponents has increased, the degree of danger is actually much lower than before the evolution.

After all, most Killians have no self-awareness. For a Killian with self-awareness who wants to hunt them, it is as easy as a zombie who has awakened himself and mixed in with the zombie horde to fight zombies.

Not far from Gu Shi, Asido was diligently finishing off the enemies. No matter if they were the Great Void who had not died yet, or the Small Void who were affected by the Great Void battlefield and failed to escape in time, he sent them all back to the cycle of spiritual energy circulation without any discrimination.

"Master, I have something I want to discuss with you."

On the other side, Tianpeng came over somewhat embarrassedly, her hands clasped nervously in front of her, her head lowered shyly. If she was not the thirty-meter-tall Killian, and her mask was not splattered with blood, this might have been a somewhat "shy" picture?

[Perhaps alchemy really has the effect of cultivating one's mind and character? When we first met, Tianpeng was still a typical war maniac, but now he has become more and more shy. ]

Gu Shi felt a little emotional and nodded with a smile.

"You said, as long as I can help, I will try my best to help."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Master! I just want to ask if you can let me refine these materials before digging the stones. It would be a shame to just throw them away."

As he spoke, Tianpeng glanced at Killian's body at his feet, his eyes filled with the four words "thrifty and frugal".

Whether it is a small Xu or a big Xu, the essence is ultimately a soul. After death, it is no longer like a flesh and blood body. As long as it is properly preserved, there is no need to worry about decay. After death, Xu's body will quickly turn into a spirit and dissipate.

The only difference is that the lepton structure of Xiaoxu's body is relatively loose, so it dissipates faster, while the lepton density of Daxu's body is higher, so it dissipates slower.

If the Great Void-level materials on this ground were left alone, they would completely disintegrate into spirit particles and merge into the atmosphere in about half a day. However, as long as they were initially refined and transformed into spiritual power crystals with higher density and more stable texture, that is, elixirs, their shelf life could be greatly extended.

There are great voids everywhere in the Great Void Forest, so it is true that there is no shortage of materials, but Tianpeng is a frugal person, and she feels really distressed to watch so many materials go to waste.

Gu Shi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Tianpeng had such a hidden attribute. After thinking about it, he slowly nodded.

"Well, it's a pity to waste them. Let Erlang and I do the excavation, and you hurry up to make the elixir. Save as many of these materials as possible. Oh, call Ashido along, he should be able to help, at least help move the materials or something."

The processing of materials cannot be delayed, but the excavation cannot be delayed either. After all, no one knows how long it will take. If the excavation takes a long time, the surrounding Killian swarms may wander over again during the excavation, and they will have to be cleaned up again. Even if Gu Shi is a virtual being, he doesn't think he has enough physical strength to do that.

Tian Peng also knew that it was impossible to ask everyone to help him process the materials, and that excavation was, after all, also to help him find materials to build the alchemy furnace. This entire action was to help himself.

Therefore, although he felt that even with Asido, so many materials would not be processed, Tianpeng still nodded with satisfaction and called Asido to start looking for a suitable place to dig the alchemy furnace.

After seeing Tian Peng off, Gu Shi looked around and saw the big rabbit.

The big rabbit ran over after the battle and was squatting obediently beside Gu Shi. After making eye contact with Gu Shi, although it trembled violently due to fear, it still consciously pricked up its ears and began to lead the way.

"That's it. Below it is that extremely hard rock!"

After hopping a few steps, the big rabbit stopped beside the body of a Killian, pointed at the ground under its feet, and shouted excitedly and timidly.

Jilang also came over at this time, threw aside the troublesome body of Killian, looked at the piece of land that the big rabbit pointed to, which seemed to have nothing special about it, opened his mouth slightly, and a bloody red ball emitting terrifying spiritual pressure began to brew in his mouth.

Gu Shi picked up the big rabbit that was frightened by the spiritual pressure and fell down. He clenched his palm into a fist and protected it in his palm, then nodded to Jilang.

The next moment, the sphere burst, and a terrifying flash of light erupted instantly, hitting directly where the big rabbit was pointing, easily penetrating the surface soil and rocks, and going deeper into the underground.

The flash of destruction lasted for a full three seconds before dissipating. When the red light disappeared and vision was restored, a deep and dark hole had appeared on the ground. Scalding lava dripped slowly from the hole, and hot steam poured out of the hole, slightly distorting the surrounding air.

"Well, this rabbit didn't lie. There was indeed something underneath that blocked my flash."

Jiro first stated the conclusion, then rubbed his mouth and frowned uncomfortably.

The feeling of spraying virtual flash is not pleasant, especially the continuous virtual flash. The feeling in the mouth is like a patient with rhinitis spending the night in the dry north. When he wakes up, he finds that he has been breathing through his mouth all night, and his mouth is so dry that it feels like a layer of skin can be peeled off.

Gu Shi nodded with satisfaction. Since it could withstand the continuous bombardment of Daxu's virtual flash, then the hardness must be no problem. So he let go of the big rabbit, put it down, and patted her head gently.

"Yes, the information you provided is correct, and the promised reward to you should be paid as well. You can pick any of the Killian corpses around you and eat any one you like."

As he was speaking, Gu Shi suddenly froze for a moment, realized that there might be something wrong with his arrangements, and quickly shook his head.

"I was negligent. You, little fellow, probably can't chew up the Great Void. How about this, you go find Tianpeng and ask her to help you tear them apart. Pick out some of the softer meat from these corpses and give you the meat of a Killian."

Jilang had dissected Killian quite a bit during this period, so he interjected when he heard this.

"The softest parts of Killian's body are his face underneath the mask and the area about a claw below the hollow. Just tell her you want these two pieces of meat."

The big rabbit was frightened by Erlang's behavior of releasing the virtual flash without saying a word. Now he just wanted to get away from this dangerous big virtual flash as soon as possible. He nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and while shouting words of thanks, he ran towards Tianpeng as fast as he could.

"This little guy is quite anxious. Okay, let's get started."

Gu Shi looked at the big rabbit's back, smiled and shook his head, rubbed his paws and prepared to start digging.

The consumption of virtual flash is too great for spiritual energy. It is OK to use it for prospecting, but if you want to use virtual flash instead of excavation, you can directly blow away the soil layer above the stone which is estimated to be more than 50 meters thick. I am afraid that Gu Shi and Erlang will have to use virtual flash until they are exhausted. If they encounter the enemy again at that time, they can only lie on the ground and wait for death.

So, you still have to use your claws.

Chapter 82 Evolution

"How can a golden scale stay in a pond? Once it encounters wind and rain, it will turn into a dragon. Haha, it looks like that little guy is finally starting to evolve."

Feeling the sudden surge of spiritual pressure not far away, Erlang raised his head from the pit, quickly put his paws behind his back, and recited the appropriate poem he had just learned a few days ago. At the same time, he looked up at the sky with a graceful demeanor, and suddenly he exuded the demeanor of a senior master.

Gu Shi shook the dirt off his paws and looked at the big rabbit that was beginning to evolve into a big virtual not far away. He thought for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

"Ha, this is really interesting. I didn't expect that I could be fooled so easily."

"That rabbit lied to us?"

Erlang's expression changed, his demeanor as a master was instantly gone, a fierce aura instantly surged across his face, his mouth slightly opened, and a scarlet ball began to accumulate in his mouth.

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't get so excited. It's not a big deal. There's no need to shout and kill."

Seeing that Erlang was about to launch a virtual flash without saying anything, Gu Shi quickly stopped him. The rabbit virtual flash was evolving next to Tianpeng, and if this virtual flash was launched, it might blow up Tianpeng as well.

It wouldn't matter if only Tianpeng was hit, Tianpeng wouldn't care about such a small matter. After all, that minor injury could be recovered in a while by taking a pill to replenish his spiritual power. But if the alchemy furnace under Tianpeng's feet accidentally exploded, Tianpeng would probably have to fight Erlang with real swords and guns.

Jilang obediently retracted the virtual flash that was about to be launched, blinked his eyes, then reacted and scratched his head in confusion.

"That's not right. What did that little guy lie to us about? How come I didn't see it?"

"...You haven't even thought this through yet, and you're just going to do it?"

Gu Shi patted Erlang's head with some amusement, then bent down and continued digging.

"Okay, don't just stand there and chat, talk while you dig."

Erlang scratched his head, quickly bent down and joined in digging the soil, but he did not forget to explain himself.

"Gu Shi, you said you were deceived by her, so she must be the enemy. If she is the enemy, there is nothing wrong in killing her as soon as possible, right?"

"Your idea is correct, but Erlang, don't you think about it? What if I am wrong and they didn't lie to me?"

Gu Shi had no intention of "correcting" Jilang's thoughts. In a place like Hueco Mundo, if you are sure that the other party is an enemy, killing him quickly will definitely allow him to live longer than "showing mercy, the life of a Hollow is also a life."

"Eh? Gu Shi, could you be wrong?"

Erlang, who was digging the soil, looked up in shock, his face full of disbelief, as if someone had told him that a dog could actually join a wolf pack and become the wolf king. His exaggerated reaction made Gu Shi couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Erlang, what you said is very interesting. I am not a saint. How can I never make mistakes?"

"Uh... Gu Shi's mistake? I can't imagine it. Forget it, let's not talk about this. How did that little guy deceive us? Gu Shi, tell us in detail."

Erlang frowned and thought for a long time, and finally chose to skip this embarrassing topic for the dog, and continued to dig the soil with his head down, and asked the big rabbit what was going on with the deception.

Gu Shi didn't intend to continue the previous topic. He followed Erlang's question and explained with a smile.

"It's very simple. We've only been digging for a few minutes, and the other side is about to evolve. How much meat do you think the rabbit can eat in such a short time? At most, it's about the amount of meat in Killian's leg, right?

"She can evolve by eating such a small amount of food. It is conceivable that she must have accumulated a good foundation before this. At least it must be more than what we accumulated before evolution. She must have devoured more than 50 Xiaoxu, if not 80, right?

“To devour so many of her own kind, unless she was extremely lucky and was able to pick up more than fifty dead or dying Xiaoxu in a row, she must have hunted and fought a lot on a daily basis. How could her personality be as timid as she appears?

"The disguise of her personality is only one aspect. What I find most interesting is the reason why she came to us.

"With such a profound background, even if she continues to hunt small hollows on her own, it won't take long for her to accumulate enough spiritual energy for evolution. There is no need for her to take the initiative to appear in front of our three big hollows and risk being killed by us to bring us to find the stone."

After hearing what Gu Shi said, Erlang finally realized that there were indeed many things wrong with this big rabbit. He couldn't help but straighten up and look again at the big rabbit that was still in the process of evolution and was getting taller and taller.

"Gu Shi, how about letting me kill her?"

In stories about the martial arts world, nine out of ten guys who approach the hero with full of calculations and unclear intentions are bad guys. They must be hiding a lot of conspiracies behind the scenes, and in the end they will either poison or take the hero's family hostage.

Whenever he listened to Gu Shi telling stories about the martial arts world, Erlang would hate the appearance of such characters and wish he could kill those guys with a single move of his Xu Flash. He didn't expect that such a character would actually appear next to him. Erlang gritted his teeth, feeling that his Xu Flash was already thirsty for energy.

Gu Shi slapped Erlang on the head again, which shattered his restless heart. At the same time, because he used more force, he also knocked his body to the ground.

"I've already told you not to get so excited. No matter what she was thinking, at least she wasn't lying about bringing us to find the stone. Why would she kill someone?

"Besides, if we really want to know what she's up to, wouldn't it be better to wait until she's finished evolving and ask directly? With three Killians and a Death God, how can we be afraid of a newly evolved Killian playing tricks on us?"

Rubbing his head and getting up from the ground, Erlang put away his murderous intent and muttered reluctantly in a low voice.

"Alright, if you don't want to kill her, then don't. Anyway, even if I don't do anything, after she evolves, she will probably just turn into an ordinary Killian without self-awareness. Then I can ask Tianpeng to stuff her into the alchemy furnace and reuse her."

Gu Shi could only roll his eyes helplessly at Erlang's pettiness towards people other than his friends. He secretly wondered if this guy had some golden retriever bloodline when he was alive, but he did not refute it.

Because the process of evolving Killian is indeed dangerous and mysterious. Just look at the brainless Killians everywhere in the Great Hollow Forest, and you will know how difficult it is to retain self-awareness during evolution. No one can say for sure whether the big rabbit can retain its self after evolution.

Just as Gu Shi was thinking this, the rising chaotic spiritual pressure not far away suddenly subsided, followed by shouts of joy.

"I did it! I'm Killian! I evolved into a Hollow!"

Gu Shi didn't say anything, but just gave Erlang a smiling look. Erlang groaned, stood up straight and roared.

"What are you yelling about? Come over here and help dig the soil after you've evolved. Can't you see that you're already too busy to handle it?"

Chapter 83: Become a disciple?

"I'm coming!"

After the big rabbit evolved into a big hollow, perhaps because of its good mood, it seemed to become a little braver. When it heard Erlang's roar, it was not afraid at all. Instead, it responded happily and ran over quickly with its newly evolved 15-meter long legs.

When she reached the pit dug by Erlang and the others, she made an elegant leap and jumped directly into the pit, boasting about herself.

"I'm super good at digging. When I met an enemy before, I just had to dig underground. I could dig holes underground faster than others could run on the ground, and no one could catch me!"

The big rabbit was showing off excitedly when she bumped into Erlang's ferocious eyes, as if he wanted to eat her. She subconsciously squatted with her head in her hands. No one knew how long she had practiced this move. She was more than 30 meters tall, but after squatting down, she was less than 15 meters tall.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong! I was too arrogant! I'm really sorry! Please don't eat me!"

Although it is not quite appropriate to describe the Hollow as a "small ball", looking at the rabbit that squatted down with its head in its hands and quickly admitted its mistake, Gu Shi and Erlang actually had the illusion that this Hollow was still a "little guy".

Erlang couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at Gu Shi. She was so skilled at admitting defeat. Was she really pretending to be timid?
