Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 46 Ether Sensitivity

In the next two days, Ji Xinghuo and the others discovered several groups of stone sickle mandrills. The largest one had hundreds of them, but there were no giant stone sickle mandrills.

By this time, they had penetrated more than 100 kilometers into Juefeng Valley.

 The frequency of attacks is getting higher and higher, including attacks from monsters, but more often from various poisonous snakes and insects, which is extremely disturbing.

Snapped!

Chi Zhonglin slapped his neck, and his open palm was bright red, with a mosquito corpse the size of his thumb on it.

　　I started half a second too late, and my neck was already swollen.

 “Venomous mosquitoes…”

Chi Zhonglin bared his teeth and looked back at his teammates.

Ren Mian and Jiangnan Caiyi tore off a change of clothes, wrapped their faces and necks tightly with cloth strips, and sprayed insect repellent on their bodies.

Ji Xinghuo was similarly dressed, with only a pair of eyes showing on his face.

However, the effect of this is very limited. Most mosquitoes in Juefeng Valley are not afraid of insect repellents, and ordinary cloth cannot stop their thirst for blood, so they bite without fail.

Juefeng Valley is humid and hot, like a big steamer. The more tightly you wrap it, the hotter you get.

Ji Xinghuo and the three of them were all sticky and uncomfortable.

Chi Zhong Lian wanted to keep cool because of his thick skin and thick flesh, so he didn't wrap himself in cloth. He was bitten hundreds of times in two days. The fungus giant's physique allowed him to recover quickly, but it inevitably left marks. , also suffered psychological torture.

　　But he was so proud that he didn't open his mouth.

Until now, I finally couldn't hold it any longer, and when I was about to speak, I saw Ji Xinghuo making a gesture.

 “There is someone.”

Ji Xinghuo pointed in one direction.

His teammates all looked over but found that their view was blocked by woods. Ji Xinghuo continued: "Six people, about three hundred meters away from us, should also be a hunting team."

 “Well, they found us too.”

 “Coming closer.”

When Ji Xinghuo spoke, the four-person formation was slightly spread out but kept close to each other. Chi Zhonglin stood at the front, Ren Mian put his hands on his waist, and Jiangnan Caiyi also drew his samurai sword.

 No one looked particularly nervous.

Yesterday, we met a hunting team once. We met them from a distance and then missed them.

 When both parties have discovered the whereabouts of the other side and are unable to conduct a sneak attack, and there is no conflict of interest, there will usually be no conflict.

"They don't seem hostile, they just came to confirm." Ji Xinghuo said.

Soon, six figures walked out through the woods and stopped a hundred meters apart.

 Both sides are sizing up each other.

This hunting team is just like me. Everyone is wrapped up tightly, with only their eyes exposed. Judging from their body shape, they are five men and one woman. Everyone's pupils are black, and they are most likely from the Asia-Pacific Communist Party. A stranger with a body.

 The only scale in the field that did not cover its face became the center of attention.

 “The scales in the pond?”

 Suddenly, a man opposite called out his name.

Ji Xinghuo had noticed this man a long time ago. He was holding a traditional hunting bow and was followed by a strong and tall pure black cheetah. He was obviously a hunter. His vision, hearing and smell were very sharp, so he was able to find the four of him, and they were The leader of this hunting team.

"Who are you?" Chi Zhonglin was a little confused and didn't recognize it for a moment.

 “Damn you, you forgot about me so quickly.”

The stalker pulled down the cloth on his face, revealing the face of a middle-aged man, and cursed: "Last month, you snatched a woman from me in the club. I thought you were a good person, so you didn't fight with me. You still called me brother-in-law at that time. It's long ago." I’ll beat you up if I know!”

"Ah ha ha ha..." Chi Zhonglin looked embarrassed, "Brother Xue, you covered your face and stood so far away. My eyesight is not good, so I didn't recognize it right away. It's my fault."

Seeing that Xue Yi still looked unhappy, he quickly said: "Next time I go back, I'll treat Brother Xue to a drink. Secret Window No. 9, and I'll pay for all the expenses."

 “You are considered sincere.”

Xue Yi's expression softened, and then he looked at Ji Xinghuo and the other three, "Are they your teammates?"

“Yes.” Chi Zhonglin nodded, but had no intention of introducing him.

　　Both parties covered their faces, hiding their true faces.

Xue Yi did not want to introduce his teammates and suddenly asked: "Chi Zhonglin, you came to Juefeng Valley to hunt the Stone Scythe Giant Mandrill, right?"

 “Also?” Chi Zhonglin caught the key word.

 The expressions of both of them changed and they suddenly became silent.

Ji Xinghuo glanced at Ren Mian beside him. The thinking necklace had been activated, and he said in his heart: "Sister Ren, your information channel doesn't seem to be very confidential..."

“Hmm.” Ren Mian said softly, “Xiaochi, where did they get the news?”

“Brother Xue, how do you know that there is a stone sickle giant mandrill in Juefeng Valley?” Chi Zhonglin asked immediately.

"When I set out, it was estimated that half of the hunting teams in the Eastern Xia District knew about this." The team is all here for the Stone Scythe Giant Mandrill."

 At this point, he sighed, "There are so many teams and none of them are easy to mess with. The trip will definitely be in vain. We can only try our luck."

“That’s it.” Chi Zhonglin pretended to have just arrived, “We didn’t gain anything either.”

Xue Yi had no doubts.

There was no conflict between the two parties, but they could still be regarded as competitors. They exchanged a few words and prepared to separate, "Then we will each rely on our own abilities."

 “Wish Brother Xue good luck.”

Chi Zhonglin waved his hand and watched Xue Yi lead his team away.

Ji Xinghuo and the others walked in another direction. After confirming that the other party was beyond the magnetic field induction, he made a safety gesture.

 “Our trip should be empty.”

Ren Mian said: "Usually such widely circulated news is deliberately released by people with two intentions: either they want to kill people with a borrowed knife and use other teams to weaken the Stone Scythe Giant Mandrill, so that they can benefit themselves; or, they simply want to benefit from it; There is no stone-scythe giant mandrill, the people who spread the news just want to trick the enemy out of Olympia and secretly set up an ambush for a sneak attack."

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but think that Sister Ren got the news a few days earlier than others. Could it be that he was targeting her?

Ren Mian seemed to have guessed Ji Xinghuo's thoughts, shaking his head and saying: "If it is the second possibility, the target is not us."

 “Why?” Ji Xinghuo asked.

"My enemies won't use such troublesome means. They will do it directly in Olympia." Ren Mian said lightly.

Ji Xinghuo was shocked.

 Fuck!

 Where is Olympia?

In the Asia-Pacific Community alone, there are at least thirty legendary aliens resident there. General Huo Keji, who is responsible for guarding Olympia, is a king-level alien who is given the title of "Champion Lord"!

The one who dares to take action directly in Olympia is at least a legendary stranger, right?

 And it’s “them”, more than one!

Chi Zhonglin and Jiangnan Caiyi were also shocked by the information revealed in Ren Mian's words. They looked at each other. Chi Zhonglin's voice was dry and said, "Sister Ren, who is your enemy?"

“I won’t tell you for now.” Ren Mian’s tone was relaxed and confident, “Don’t worry, this has nothing to do with you.”

Ji Xinghuo felt relieved.

 The first is to believe in Ren Mian, and the second is to believe in yourself. He turned on his magnetic field induction at all times and found no one following or spying on him.

“Sister Ren, should we continue to look for the stone sickle giant mandrill?” Chi Zhonglin asked.

"Of course, continue." Ren Mian analyzed: "Some people think that the possibility of profit is greater. If we are lucky, we might be able to get the upper hand. However, if the situation goes wrong, we will retreat immediately and return to Olympia. "

 In the following days, the team kept wandering around the Juefeng Valley.

However, apart from harvesting a few alien species, no stone sickle giant mandrill was found. Instead, they encountered several other hunting teams, both from the Asia-Pacific Community and aliens from other countries.

 More and more people are getting the news.

 Ren Mian decided to go back after looking for a few more days, not wanting to waste any more time.

tenth day. Ji Xinghuo suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

There is a huge rock suspended in the sky. Its shape is very irregular, like a potato with sharp lines. It is wide horizontally and short up and down. The widest part is more than 100 meters. There are trees and weeds growing on it, and vines hang down from the edge. The whole rock fluttered gently in the wind, casting a shadow.

 This is a small hanging mountain.

There are a large number of hanging mountains in Qianfeng Yuanlin. The largest ones are tens of thousands of meters long, and the medium ones are over a thousand meters long. They are all occupied by Tianyu Royal Court and built into cities. The total number exceeds a thousand.

 The remaining hanging mountains are relatively small and scattered everywhere.

There are many in the Juefeng Valley, but they are all small hanging mountains. Some of the hanging mountains are anchored to the ground by thick vines. The stone sickle mandrills climb up along the vines and dominate the mountains.

However, the one in front of me is ownerless.

 Because it is not connected to the ground, its position keeps moving.

“Xinghuo, what are you looking at?” Chi Zhonglin raised his head.

This hanging mountain doesn't look like anything special. I've encountered several bigger ones these days, but I haven't found anything yet.

 “There’s something on it.”

Ji Xinghuo pointed and said doubtfully: "But I don't know what it is..."

 Magnetic field induction discovered a natural cave located on the cliff on the side of Hanging Mountain, which was covered by large vines and plants.

The magnetic field in the cave is very strange. The magnetic field lines actually form a very regular vortex. It is not like a biological magnetic field, but it seems to be alive.

Ji Xinghuo had never seen it before and couldn't tell them apart for a while.

Chi Zhonglin's eyes lit up when he heard this. He now trusted Ji Xinghuo's perception very much. If Ji Xinghuo said there was something good, it was probably true.

 “Let’s go up and have a look!”

 Ren Mian nodded in agreement.

However, when everyone looked at the Hanging Mountain, which was more than 300 meters above the ground, they felt a little embarrassed. How can they climb up if they can't fly?

"Let me try." Ji Xinghuo immediately thought of a way.

 He took out the nano-rope, chose the heaviest arrow, and tied one end of the rope to the arrow tail, firmly fixing it.

The nano rope is very thin and light. It is more than a thousand meters long, which is definitely long enough.

 The problem is that it is very difficult to shoot the arrow onto the hanging mountain and get stuck.

Ji Xinghuo did not shoot directly under the Hanging Mountain. Instead, he walked more than two hundred meters away. This could reduce the impact of gravity and allow the arrow to shoot farther. He aimed diagonally at the sky, and the aperture in his raised eyes flashed slightly, and he turned on All things are clear.

His arrow moved back and forth, as if looking for a suitable shooting point.

 Suddenly, an arrow shot out.

 The arrow soared into the air, and the long nano-rope was like a tail. As the altitude increased, its speed quickly slowed down.

"It's going to fail, but you can try a few more times." Chi Zhonglin looked at the trajectory of the arrow. It was obvious that it could no longer reach the mountain of Xuankong Mountain and was falling.

 The next second, he was stunned.

This arrow happened to be entangled with a vine hanging down from the mountain.

Ji Xinghuo grabbed the nano rope with both hands and shook it skillfully. It was immediately entangled with the vines and pulled hard a few times. It was very strong.

"Is this okay?" Chi Zhonglin was stunned.

Ji Xinghuo brought the nano rope back to the bottom of the Hanging Mountain and said, "I'll go up first."

Nano ropes are very thin, only three millimeters in diameter, and can support several tons of weight, but they may cut their hands when exerting force. Ji Xinghuo wore gloves to solve this problem.

 He wrapped the rope twice around his palm, used force to lift his body higher, then changed his hand to wrap the rope around, rising alternately.

 When I climbed halfway up, my whole body was hanging in the air, swaying with the slightest breeze.

This made the teammates below sweat in cold sweat.

Fortunately, Ji Xinghuo quickly climbed to the top, grabbed the vines and continued climbing, reaching the top of Hanging Mountain. The next step was easy. Ji Xinghuo asked his teammates to tie the rope around his waist, then directly dragged them one by one to the mountain, and finally put the rope up to avoid accidents.

“Where is the place you mentioned?” Chi Zhonglin asked eagerly.

"follow me."

Ji Xinghuo led his teammates through the top of the mountain. The woods here were no different from those on the ground. Except for birds, there were no traces of other animals.

 He came to the other side of Hanging Mountain, climbed down along the vines for more than ten meters, and opened the weeds to reveal a hole.

 Chi Zhonglin and three others followed him in.

This is a natural rock cave with an area of ​​dozens of square meters and a height of three to four meters. The light in the cave was dim. When they entered, they disturbed a group of bats, who flew out with a loud splash.

Ji Xinghuo stood in the middle of the cave.

In front of him, there was a stalactite hanging from the ceiling of the cave, and a bamboo shoot-like stone tip was formed on the ground. The two were vertically opposite, and the tips were only about ten centimeters apart from each other.

 In this ten centimeter gap, there is a ball of light.

 The light is very weak, like a firefly, but it is also very pure.

At the center of the light source is a small crystal, which is irregular in oval shape and is only the size of a mung bean. It hovers there motionless and flickers gently every few seconds.

Chi Zhonglin’s eyes were wide open. He observed for a few seconds but couldn’t see anything.

 “Is this a strange thing?”

 He asked the question on everyone's mind.

There are many strange objects in the star world, some are born naturally, and some are nurtured by life. Expansion strange objects are one of them, and there are other treasures with more magical functions.

Ji Xinghuo saw a smile in Ren Mian's eyes and asked, "Sister Ren, do you recognize this thing?"

 Ren Mian nodded: "If I read it correctly, this should be a naturally-born alien species, ether-sensitive."

 “Huh?” Chi Zhonglin was disappointed.

He thought it was some priceless treasure, but it turned out to be just an aether-sensitive alien species.

 Aether Sensitivity is a premium power, but it is the most valuable of the premium powers, even more expensive than the superior power.

 It can increase the upper limit of the alien's star power and increase the speed of star power recovery, which is equivalent to improving the efficiency of cultivation, and is very sensitive to the distribution and flow of etheric energy.

 Many career templates have aether sensitivity and are very popular.

 Ether sensitivity has many sources, but it is extremely rare to be born naturally, so the scales in the pool didn't recognize it for a while.

 However, no matter how rare it is, it is only a high-quality ability.

 When I first saw this alien species, my expectations were infinitely higher. Now that I know it is just a high-quality ability, everyone is disappointed with the huge feeling of disappointment.

“It’s worth more than two million, which is equivalent to money picked up for nothing.”

Ji Xinghuo laughed, stepped forward and gently held the crystal in the center of the light source.

 When it was moved, the light quickly dimmed and turned into an inconspicuous white crystal, like a piece of quartz.

 Suddenly, the information interface popped up in front of you.

  【Alien Species: Ether Sensitive】

 【Grade: High Quality】

  【Fusion success rate: 100%】

 【Can it be upgraded: Yes】

Ji Xinghuo’s eyes were slightly startled, the fusion success rate was 100%!
