Knight Asylum

“There is light—”

As the flame kept dying out, it became much weaker than before. The Firefly Undead Beast suddenly reached out and grabbed Red's arm, and in addition to "it's so hot", he uttered a second word.

Red was stunned. Before Red could try to understand, the Firefly Undead Beast was once again engulfed by fire. The Firefly Undead Beast waved its limbs wildly and shouted that it was hot.

A drop of rain fell on Red's armor through the thick smoke. With a splash of water, heavy rain fell, fighting against the raging fire that engulfed the forest.

As long as the fire is fierce enough, even water cannot put it out. However, as long as there is enough water, the fire that has almost burned the materials will be extinguished sooner or later.

Under the baptism of artificial rainstorms, the forest fire caused by the Firefly Undead Beast gradually receded, leaving behind a charred ruin. As the source of the fire, the flames on the Firefly Undead Beast were gradually suppressed by the heavy rain and lost their previous power.

Seeing that success was within reach, Red and Wanzhang Long also perked up their spirits, bent down and splashed the mud and water to extinguish the last flame on the Firefly Undead Beast.

During this process, the masks on Red and Manzhang Ryuga were soaked in mud and water, and were washed away by the heavy rain.

When only the last flame remained on the Firefly Undead Beast, Wanzhanglong I suddenly started to complain.

"Well... this undead beast, wouldn't it be like Charmander? If the fire on its body goes out, it will die..."

Wanzhanglong's words made Red, who was about to give the Firefly Undead Beast the final blow to its flames, freeze in place.

"No, no way—"

The Firefly Undead Beast gave Red and Wanzhanglong the answer. It shouted that it was so hot and raised its hand to slap away the last flame.

Reid and Wanzhanglong breathed a sigh of relief and were about to speak when the Firefly Undead Beast's tail suddenly lit up with a bright green light.

Thinking they were being attacked, Wanzhang Longwo and Reid subconsciously raised their hands. After the flash of light, no attack occurred, but the Firefly Undead Beast also disappeared in the charred wreckage. Only Reid and Wanzhang Longwo were left standing in the mud.

Chapter 1112 Why not squeeze in?

"Failed?"

Kiryu Sento, who was fiddling with cards, blinked and looked at Reid and Manjo Ryuga, who were drying their hair, with surprise on his face.

"Is the opponent an undead beast above level 10?"

"No - the other party is the same as the Moose Undead Beast, Category 6, and its ability is fire."

Red put the towel on his shoulders and explained to Kiryuu Sento the abnormality of Firefly Undead Beast.

"It's so hot? There's light? It's an undead beast that uses fire abilities, but it wants to extinguish the flames on its body."

After listening to Red's description, Kiryu Battle Rabbit frowned.

"Really, a strange phenomenon... stupid"

"Yes. So far, no matter whether they are low-level or high-level undead beasts, they all enjoy the power brought by the golden fruit. Even Isaka... He didn't choose to give up because he hated the improvement brought by the golden fruit. He simply felt that he couldn't control the future."

Red pinched the still wet hair on his forehead.

"But the fireflies are resisting the power of the Golden Fruit, and... according to the information reported by Isaka, the firefly undead beasts don't seem to have any record of attacking humans."

Kiryuu Sento put down the card in his hand, folded his hands in front of his chest, paced back and forth, and after walking several circles, he paused, "What do you think?"

"I don't know, it ran away," Red said helplessly.

"Really? Assuming that the Firefly Undead Beast is resisting the power of the Golden Fruit--"

Kiryuu Sento held his chin up, looked up for a moment, then looked at Red, "Red, don't you think it's more dangerous than a normal undead beast?"

Reid paused while rubbing his hair, and said nothing. But I, Wanzhanglong, started asking like a curious baby why.

"The firefly resisted the power, but that was its power, and its power was greatly enhanced by the power of the golden fruit. It couldn't control it, and it would only make its power run wild further, so that terrible fire occurred."

Kiryu Sento bent his fingers and tapped Manjo Ryuga's forehead hard.

"To put it simply, it is now a time bomb that could explode at any time. Not everyone can pass through the fire unscathed like us."

Kiryu Sento ignored Manjo Ryuga's dissatisfied protests, turned around, picked up his phone, and turned on the news.

The fire was put out, and reporters from different newspapers and even the government came to the edge of the forest park, excitedly explaining the damage.

Putting [S·L] down is not really a huge loss. With the advanced technology in [S·L], this level of damage can be repaired in just a few days and become better than new.

But the problem is that this fire could have happened anywhere.

Even though I am a man-million dragon, I understand what Kiryu Sento means.

"Isn't it enough to just recycle the golden fruit on it?"

Kiryu Sento glanced at Manjo Ryuga and did not answer directly. This subtle reaction made Manjo Ryuga a little anxious, and he couldn't help but asked more questions.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, your guess is roughly correct," Kiryuu Sento turned around and picked up the card, "We have the technology to extract the golden fruit from the undead beasts without killing them."

Manjo Ryuga scratched his hair. His suggestion was approved by Kiryu Battle Rabbit, but Manjo Ryuga felt something was strange, but he couldn't tell why.

I subconsciously looked towards Red.

Reid thought for a while and shook his head. "The most urgent thing is to find the fireflies first. The fireflies may still be in the forest park, or they may have moved away. The fire will not be so easy to put out."

"Yes, that's it—"

Kiryuu Sento raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Red, please continue searching the forest park. Wanzhang, if you want me to..."

"my words?"

Kiryu Sento smiled brightly and took out a belt with the hastily made Unit-01 written on it, while Manjo Ryuuga's expression gradually changed from confusion to horror.

There has to be someone with thick skin and flesh who doesn't need to use his brain much to serve as a test subject.

"Uhhhhhh-"

Hearing Wanzhanglong's screams, Red quickly evacuated the laboratory and returned to the office to pack his clothes.

The Firefly Undead Beast may still be in the Forest Park, or it may not be. If you want to confirm this, you can only keep an eye on it in the Forest Park, or wait for the Firefly Undead Beast to lose control again and the Undead Beast's signal becomes stronger.

Considering that there was nothing else to do at the moment, Red thought of taking his camping equipment and setting up a tent in the forest park.

When they were halfway through packing, Qiao came in and glanced at what Reid was holding and the equipment that had already been packed. Qiao thought for a while and raised his eyebrows, "Are you planning to go camping? Where?"

"Forest Park~"

"The one that was just burned?" Qiao remembered the news just now.

Although it was huge, in [S·L], even a disaster at the level of destroying the world would only last for a few days and would soon be washed away by time.

The fire in the forest park may only last for one or two hours.

"Yes, the undead beast might still be there, so I plan to go to that tent and observe for a while, hoping to find it before its next rampage."

Red stuffed all his stuff into his backpack and bent down to lift the luggage.

"Want to go together?"

“…Sure.”

Qiao thought for a while and nodded in agreement, then turned around and went back to pack his luggage.

Red thought he would have to wait for a while, but it happened to be much simpler and smoother than he had expected. It only took a few minutes for the waiter to come out with two suitcases.

"...You wouldn't have packed your bags and prepared to leave so early in the morning," Reid couldn't help but complain.

"who knows--"

Qiao stretched out his voice, raised his arm and hit Red on the back.

"Come on."

"Okay, okay -"

"Can you go in? Isn't there a cordon there?"

"Just a few minutes ago, that place was already mine. It's a burned forest park, and the cost of repairing it is far greater than the profit after repair. It's quite cheap. Of course, the premise is that the forest park can be repaired within two weeks." Red yawned, "The target for this period has been met."

Seeing that Red actually used spending as an indicator like a salesman, Qiao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Please don't waste your money."

"This is called benefiting society and promoting economic development. If all the money is in our hands, how can others make money?" Red spread his hands. "So we never deduct wages, provide paid vacations, and offer very generous prices. I don't know how many workers are waiting for us to do work for them."

“Eh—really?”

"Ah--by the way, come to think of it, I only brought one tent!"

"I have a sleeping bag."

"Oops - I think I forgot to bring it. How about squeezing it in?"

Qiao raised his hand expressionlessly and slapped Red's face, forcing Red to turn away.

Chapter 1113 This Can’t Be Your Golden Fruit

Qiao originally planned to go back and get another sleeping bag, but as Red stopped her with his legs hugged like a ten-year-old kid, Qiao had to give up the idea. But on the way to the forest park, Qiao didn't say a word.

"Um...are you angry?"

After parking the car, Red scratched his face awkwardly, paused for a moment and clasped his hands together.

"Feel sorry--"

She rolled her eyes at Reid, took down the folding chair, sat down, crossed her legs, and crossed her fingers in front of her abdomen.

"Do I look angry?"

Red tilted his head and looked at her for a while, then raised his finger to touch Qiao's forehead. Qiao blinked in confusion, and just as she was about to speak, Red's finger suddenly bent and flicked.

"Snapped--"

There was a smoking red mark on Qiao's forehead.

"Well, you look angry."

“…Isn’t this a matter of course?!”

Under Qiao's supervision, Red successfully set up a pitch-black tent. If it was placed in the forest, it would be as conspicuous as a target, but among the charred wreckage, it was so low-key that it seemed impossible to find it in the blink of an eye.

"The tent you chose is... very suitable for the occasion," Qiao complained seriously after hesitating for a while.

"Uh-right!" Red gave a thumbs up.

"So, what's next? Just sit here?" Qiao stretched and sat back on the folding chair.

Looking at the earth in front of me that was burned by the fire and only left with debris, I thought of the dark and empty night sky without stars or moon, and couldn't help but sigh.

“There’s nothing here anymore.”

"But we can still start over from the beginning," Red stretched his body and picked up the camping pot after stretching his body. "Do you want to..."

"I brought energy bars," Qiao dug into his pocket and pulled out two energy bars.

"...Coincidentally, we are camping here," Red put his hands on his hips, feeling helpless, "Don't you think eating energy bars while camping will ruin the atmosphere?"

Qiao held the energy bar in his mouth, glanced at the charred land, and nodded to Reid with a serious expression.

"Well, it's not really suitable for a picnic," Red coughed, turned around and took out his phone, "Then order takeout."

"I say, how could there be takeout delivered here?" Qiao rolled his eyes and waved the remaining energy bar in his hand, "If you don't eat it, it will be gone."

"Ah--they said they could deliver it here! What do you want to eat?"

"Huh? Even if I starve to death or jump off the building, I will never..."

Twenty minutes later, Qiao was holding the takeaway and letting out a happy sound, but in order to prove to Red that she had not given in, she did not throw away the energy bar but kept it in the takeaway.

"I'm full—"

Red pushed the disposable bowl forward and raised his hand to pat his stomach.

"You seem to be able to eat a lot more than before," Qiao glanced at the takeout that had piled up beside Red and said casually, "Is it because you are growing?"

"Probably—" Red stroked his chin and nodded seriously, "Only when you are full can you have the energy to work."

"That being said—"

Qiao put down what he was holding, looked around, and felt helpless.

"Is that undead beast really still in this forest park? If it were someone else, I would probably ask this. If it were you, you would know that the undead beast is in the forest park, right?"

Red paused, "Intuition."

"As expected - your intuition has always been very accurate, a little too accurate." Qiao held up his chin, "So, did your intuition tell you the specific location?"

"This is a bit, subtle," Reid laughed awkwardly a few times, took out the integrated lock seed and the Shenghong lock seed from his pocket and placed them on the table.
