The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 202 Wu Meng and the Spirit Turtle Shield
After waiting for a while and seeing that Zhuang Shuyuan didn't say anything, Li Yuejin asked, "How about we talk to the leader of that group?"

Zhuang Shuyuan said, "How can we talk? I'm afraid they have already settled there. If it were you, would you move away?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuejin also smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Then the only option is to fight?" Yuan Rui said directly.

"In today's world, if we don't fight once, I'm afraid it will be difficult to negotiate."

"That's right. Whoever has the bigger fist is right now. Regardless of whether this group of people were tricked by Hong Laogou and his gang to come here to cause trouble, we can't just sit there and watch."

"Just hit him, why are you afraid of him?"

The many psychics in the room shouted one by one.

Seeing this, Zhuang Shuyuan helplessly held her forehead and said, "Although we have to fight before we can talk, it's still very unpleasant to be tricked by Hong Laogou and his men."

"You guys sit here for a while, I'll go find Brother Meng and ask him what he thinks."

Zhuang Shuyuan slowly stood up and walked towards the door under everyone's gaze.

She pushed the door open and found that what was behind it was not a room, but a cave!

The cave was not dark, but was filled with bright white light.

However, I saw many hooks embedded on the mountain wall, and glass cages were hung on the hooks.

In the glass cage, fist-sized insects were crawling inside.

A white light burst out from the tail of the insect, and it was this white light that illuminated the cave.

This should be some kind of mutated firefly. I didn't expect that these people caught it and put it in a glass bottle or box and made it into lighting equipment.

The cave was brightly lit and not as damp and dark as one might have imagined.

There are three bedrooms and a living room in the cave. The living room is well decorated, but because the walls are made of stone and the beds and stools inside are made of ordinary wood, it looks a bit shabby.

These people came here to escape, so it is naturally impossible for them to move away countless pieces of furniture like Liang Yuan did.

Passing through the living room, Zhuang Shuyuan came to a room that was not too big.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard a whistling and roaring sound coming from the room.

There were continuous shouts and shouts, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air.

There was even a heat wave from time to time.

Zhuang Shuyuan stood at the door and looked into the practice room.

But I saw a muscular, tall man punching and moving around in this room.

His fists were full of power. Every time he swung his fist, it could create rolling waves of air, and the terrifying sound of breaking through the air could be heard continuously.

As his body moved faster and faster, the blood circulation in his body became faster and faster.

At a certain moment, suddenly, a burst of hot red light burst out from his fist, followed by a loud explosion sound.

The air suddenly exploded, and waves of invisible waves spread out.

It caused a howling wind and the walls were shaking.

After the muscular man threw a punch, he paused, turned around and looked towards the door.

But it turned out to be a middle-aged man with a square face, eyes as sharp as a knife, no trace of fat on his body, and a perfect figure!

Seeing Zhuang Shuyuan, Wu Meng smiled and said, "You never disturb me when I'm practicing. Is there something wrong?"

Zhuang Shuyuan smiled and asked, "Have you mastered your explosive fist?"

Wu Meng shook his head slightly: "It's not that easy. My Qi and blood are strong enough, but my mental strength is insufficient. I can't smoothly condense the Qi and blood in my body into an explosive rune."

"Out of ten punches, only one can produce the effect of the Explosion Talisman."

Zhuang Shuyuan felt distressed when she heard this. She went forward to wipe her sweat and said, "That's already very impressive. The military report mentioned a long time ago that in order to draw a rune perfectly, you need at least 25 points of mental power."

"In our camp, only Teacher Li can meet this requirement. Don't be so hard on yourself."

Wu Meng shook his head slightly: "Time waits for no one. Since God has not given humans a dead end and has allowed us to evolve and practice, we must not slack off."

"We are already far behind other mutant monsters. If we don't become independent and strong, we will be eliminated sooner or later on this road of evolution."

He looked determined, wiped the sweat off his face, and asked, "Did something happen?"

Zhuang Shuyuan nodded and said, "Yes, another group of people have come to Yangshan."

Wu Meng smiled when he heard this and said, "Has anyone escaped from the flood again? Are there any bad people? If they are all good people with pure hearts, then take them in."

"The military report also said that now is the time for us humans to unite."

Zhuang Shuyuan was somewhat helpless. She glanced at her man and said, "You think too highly of people's hearts."

"Not everyone is as open-minded and righteous as you. This group of people went up the mountain and occupied the area of ​​the Fire Bamboo Forest."

"You know that place. We plan to use it to breed fire bamboo rats. This is a crucial plan for our survival."

Wu Meng frowned slightly when he heard this: "Do they know that the place belongs to us?"

Zhuang Shuyuan shook her head: "I don't know. Teacher Li guessed that this group of people were probably tricked by Hong Fu and Tu Long. Their purpose was to provoke a fight between us and this group of people."

"By the way, the leader of this group is suspected to be a dual-powered person. Not only does he possess extremely powerful strength, but he also has a high level of spiritual power."

"Master?"

Wu Meng's eyes suddenly lit up and a look of interest appeared on his face.

Zhuang Shuyuan had expected him to do this, and said helplessly, "He should be quite strong. I heard that Tu Long used the White Tiger Spirit, Hand of God, Satan's Skull, and Blue Dragon Spirit in front of him, but all ended in failure."

"In the end, we had to threaten him with the Exploding Rune Stone to force him to leave."

"it is good!"

Wu Meng immediately clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.

"Tu Long was able to fight back without any chance of fighting back. He is indeed a master. Is he in the bamboo forest now?"

"Well, I came here to ask you what you think about how to deal with these people?"

"If we fight with this group of people, I'm afraid Hongfu and Tu Long will really plot against us."

"But if we don't fight, I'm afraid we won't be able to get the Fire Bamboo Forest back."

Wu Meng burst into laughter. He reached out and grabbed the clothes by the door and said directly, "Don't worry about whether it's a conspiracy or not. Hong Fu and Tu Long are both mean people."

"If we want to return the bamboo forest, we should go and ask for it openly."

"If that person doesn't give it to me, then let's have a fight. If I win, I can get the bamboo forest back naturally!"

"As for Tu Long and the others, I will talk to them in person when my Explosive Fist is perfected!"

Seeing her man walking out of the room, Zhuang Shuyuan felt helpless and asked quickly, "Are you going now?"

"Going right now!"

Wu Meng put on his clothes and strode out of the cave, asking, "By the way, what's that man's name?"

"The surname is Liang. Zhang Qing said it's Liang Yuan."

……

In the bright cave, Liang Yuan stroked the green beads in his hand.

This bead is the skill bead that popped out from the big-headed doll's head.

When Liang Yuan poured his mental power into it, a complex picture and text like a neural network appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

His mental power expanded along these patterns, and there seemed to be a powerful controlling force in the dark.

“Could this neural network-like pattern also be some kind of rune?”

"This rune seems to be able to strengthen the mental strength and make it produce some kind of power."

"Similar to the mental shock skill, it is a unique way to release mental power."

Liang Yuan was thoughtful and tried hard to remember this network pattern.

However, this rune pattern is very complex. There are skill beads attached to the forehead, and it can be copied and reproduced.

But once the skill beads are taken away, the brain becomes empty and it is difficult to imitate.

Liang Yuan frowned. This skill bead was like a mold, and mental power was like water flow.

When there is a mold, the mental power will naturally follow its shape and gather into a rune form.

But once it leaves the mold, it is difficult for mental power to form such a rune state.

"It seems like this is another rune skill that requires daily practice."

"Now I understand why the system requires such a high score to draw skills."

"This is completely equivalent to the system allowing me to skip the steps of learning runes and directly acquire rune skills."

"From this point of view, it's not too outrageous to extract a skill for every 10,000 points."

Liang Yuan felt emotional and put away the spiritual skill bead.

At the moment he has a skill rune, which he has actually practiced almost to completion.

That was the mental defense rune on the tortoise shell.

It was with the help of this tortoise shell that he was able to block the mental spike attack from the singing monster 'Liang Hong' in the Hang Lung Building.

However, it was also during that battle that the tortoise shell was broken and he completely lost the tortoise shell rune.

But fortunately, he had practiced this rune repeatedly a long time ago.

The mental power also simulated the form of the rune several times. However, although the rune form was simulated at that time, it was still unable to maintain that rune state.

He couldn't understand it at the time, but after listening to the military broadcast, he suddenly realized it.

"These runes are not simple. Without a strong enough mental force, it is difficult to outline the essence of the runes."

"When I first got the tortoise shell, my mental strength was far from the standard, so no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't grasp the essence of copying the runes."

"Not to mention trying to maintain this rune state and form a mental defense barrier."

Liang Yuan recalled again that his mental strength had been continuously improved, and it was at that time in the Hang Lung Building that he was barely able to condense a mental defense rune.

But it still cannot maintain that state for a long time.

"My mental power attribute has now reached 29.2, which should be enough to condense a mental defense talisman."

In order to distinguish it from the defense rune disclosed by the military, Liang Yuan named this rune the Spirit Defense Rune, while the official one is called the Earth Defense Rune.

Liang Yuan has not found the corresponding mutant beast for that kind of earth-attributed defensive talisman. According to official records, this kind of earth-attributed defensive talisman is more likely to appear in mutant monsters such as mutant weasels, mutant hedgehogs, mutant beetles, mutant crabs, and lobsters.

It’s a pity that I caught so many mutant crabs and lobsters before, but I didn’t find this kind of rune in any of them.

"Since I don't have the earth-attribute defense talisman, I will study the spirit defense talisman first."

"This is also the rune technique that is easiest for me to succeed at the moment."

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan closed his eyes and felt the mental power in his mind.

He meditated on the runes on the tortoise shell and slowly controlled the flow and condensation of his mental power.

According to the shape of the rune, he began to condense the rune with his mental power.

As the spiritual power continued to flow, its appearance became closer to that of the tortoise shell rune.

A layer of transparent mental shield gradually appeared around him!
Liang Yuan's mind moved, and he condensed the last bit of his mental power. In an instant, his mental power shrank instantly!

The originally weak shield, at this moment, made a click, and formed a tortoise shell-like shield around him like armor!

This shield is transparent and difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Liang Yuan opened his eyes, his heart filled with surprise, his face full of joy.

"It's done!"

"Try to see the strength of the defense!"

While controlling the shield, Liang Yuan stretched out his hand and knocked on the void.

It seemed that there was nothing in the void, but as Liang Yuan knocked on it, there were bang bang bang sounds that seemed to be real!
"Not only can it defend against mental attacks, but it can also defend against physical attacks!"

"I just don't know how strong the physical attack can be defended against."

Liang Yuan thought about it, increased the strength in his hands, and punched hard on the mental defense shield.

Boom-!
In an instant, the void shook violently and made a buzzing sound.

The air also vibrated and distorted visibly.

However, the mental defense shield did not break, it just trembled slightly and actually held firm!

"An ordinary strength value of 15.9 is not enough to break the defense shield!"

Liang Yuan was delighted and immediately activated the [Muscle Explosion] skill.

In an instant, the qi and blood roared, the heart beat like a drum, and the muscles bulged rapidly.

The strength value instantly doubled, exceeding 30 points!
Liang Yuan punches again!

Boom - click!
There was a loud explosion, followed by a crackling sound, and tiny cracks appeared on the mental defense shield!
The next moment, the cracks continued to expand and the cracking sound quickly spread.

With a loud crash, Liang Yuan felt the tortoise shell rune condensed by the mental power in his mind suddenly shattered.

His mental strength suddenly plummeted, and he could no longer condense and consolidate the rune!
"Sure enough, when the strength value exceeds 30 points, the mental defense shield can no longer block it."

"This mental defense shield should mainly be used to protect against mental attacks."

"I don't know if I can block the mental spikes of the singing girl monster now."

Liang Yuan was delighted. The condensation of this tortoise shell rune gave him an extra means of self-protection.

He opened the attribute panel and quickly looked at the skill bar.

Skills: [Muscle Burst], [Mental Shock], [Spirit Turtle Shield]

Sure enough, a new skill appeared in the skill bar.

Liang Yuan was stunned when he saw the name of this skill.

"Spirit Turtle Shield? Is this the name of the skill this rune brings?"

Liang Yuan was surprised. This name sounded much better than the mental defense shield.

He quickly checked the introduction of [Spirit Turtle Cover].

[Turtle Cover]

Skill quality: White
Skill requirements: Spirit 2 points, Constitution 2 points

Skill effect: Mental power condenses into a tortoise shell shield that can resist mental attacks.

After reading the skill introduction, Liang Yuan found it to be basically the same as his own intuitive feelings.

But the skill requirements surprised him a bit.

"Is this skill activatable with 2 points of mental strength and 2 points of physical fitness?"

"Why do I need to have 25 points of mental strength to learn it?"

Liang Yuan was confused, but after thinking about it, he understood the reason.

The little turtle evolved its shell by itself, and the rune grew on the shell.

The little turtle has this skill in its genes, just like humans awakening superpowers, it has superpowers once it awakens.

And I learned this skill by studying the tortoise shell rune.

In other words, to learn runes, the minimum mental power requirement is to reach 25 points.

However, the little turtle, which has awakened this rune skill, only needs 2 points of mental strength and 2 points of physical fitness to use this skill.

"If we say that every ability corresponds to a certain rune, or every skill corresponds to a certain rune."

"Then can my [Muscle Blast] and [Psychic Shock] skills also be displayed in the form of runes?"

"It's just that I haven't sensed the rune manifestation of my two skills yet?"

"How can I sense the skill runes in my body?"

Liang Yuan was immersed in this doubt for a while.

It's like you can see the top of other people's heads, but you can never see the top of your own head.

The special abilities that one awakens are the result of direct genetic selection and are engraved at the genetic level.

You also need to pry open the brain and part the flesh to see the rune patterns expressed by genes in the body.

This is how Liang Yuan discovered the runes in other mutant organisms.

But obviously, it was impossible for him to open his brain and study whether there were runes in it.

"Forget it, let's study the Turtle Shield Rune first."

"Now that I have mastered the runes, according to the techniques taught by the military, I only need to carve the runes on the power stone of the corresponding attribute, and I can obtain a power stone with a one-time rune ability."

"If I can carve the Spirit Turtle Cover Rune on the Power Stone, wouldn't that be equivalent to being able to mass-produce the Spirit Turtle Cover Rune Stones?"

"When the time comes, let Zhao Kai, Ding Yan and the others take the Spirit Turtle Shield Talisman Stone and activate the Spirit Turtle Shield. Then, won't they also be able to possess the Spirit Turtle Shield and defend against mental attacks?"

You know, Liang Yuan hasn't seen many mental defense skills so far.

Mental attacks have always been strange and unpredictable. If you have a mental defense rune, it will definitely be what all psychics want to fight for.

"When the time comes, can't we take this Spirit Turtle Shield Talisman Stone outside and trade it with other shelters?"

Liang Yuan's heart immediately became excited. If the transaction only involved mutant creatures, wouldn't he be able to collect points as much as he wanted?

He suppressed his excitement and began to study the making of the Turtle Shield Talisman Stone.

First of all, to make runes, you need power stones with corresponding attributes.

But so far, Liang Yuan has never seen a spiritual power stone.

But it doesn’t matter. Without the spiritual power stone, he still has the attributeless power stone.

"I don't know what the difference is between a non-attribute power stone and an attribute power stone."

"If we only talk about value, the non-attribute power stone can be used to copy any kind of runes, so it should be more valuable than the attribute power stone."

"But what the military broadcast said is that the shallowest layers of the psychic stone mines are usually non-attribute psychic stones, and only inside will attribute psychic stones be born."

"Logically, shouldn't the ore in the core area be more valuable?"

Liang Yuan speculated in his heart that there might be a difference between non-attribute power stones and attribute power stones.

Unfortunately, all he had was a small piece of fire-attribute power stone on the explosive arrow.

There is no comparative value at all.

He shook his head, suppressed all these doubts, and took out a piece of attributeless supernatural stone.

Then he took out a carving knife and prepared to start carving runes and making rune stones.
