"However, before he could finish his words, Ah Wei held his forehead and uttered a painful sound: "--None of us in the group will be able to graduate this year, and we won't be able to become apprentices..."
“Walter:…”
"March Seven said indifferently, 'Let's go. I don't want to continue chatting...'"
"I can only say that I understand this brother's distress very well."
In a cafe outside the Xumi Oratory, several students in uniform were gathered together, chattering.
"You don't know, but my original research topic was 'Analysis of the Geological Structure and Spatial Stability of the Xumi Dead Zone.' Guess what happened? My advisor and I finally found a dead zone outside of Huacheng. We researched it for three months, and I was almost done with my thesis, but then... a yellow-haired traveler wiped out all the dead zones within Xumi! My entire project was ruined!"
"Please! Please wait until I graduate before clearing the dead zone!!" A student of the Life Theory School affiliated with Ami Rido College wailed in the same way as Awei.
"Tsk, what's that?" another student from the Miaolun School said with disdain.
"Our original assignment was to go to the desert to study the ancient texts left by the Red King, and a teacher from the academy led the team. We finally found a stone tablet inscribed with ancient text in a ruin, but my senior brother somehow got into trouble and had our teacher imprisoned in the ruins!"
"My little Lucky Grass King! We were deep in the desert at the time, with very little food and water. If I hadn't met a merchant heading to Aru Village who led the way, I'm afraid I would have already—"
"When we returned to the Ordination Hall, it was already three months after Senior Falusan successfully cracked the ruins. Unfortunately, that teacher had already become a corpse..."
The students gathered around the table gasped.
"Anyway, because of this accident, all the students in our group had their graduation delayed that year... So, I really understand Wei!"
"As soon as I entered the gate of the Industrial and Construction Department, I saw a large number of tree roots and branches, and they were growing wildly and continuously."
"Without further delay, everyone immediately found a way and headed inside."
"Soon after, they encountered a middle-aged man with several mechanical creations."
"The Gongzaosi is a confidential and important place. Retreat, thieves! Retreat quickly! Ah-ah-ah-ah!" Master Gongshu spoke with a voice like an opera.
"Hey, hey! Please listen to our explanation! We are not bad-"
"What's there to explain?! It's nothing but deceptive excuses like 'I was just passing by,' 'I was careless,' and 'The door was open!' The company was suddenly struck by a disaster today, and I was certain someone was playing dirty! And it turned out just as I expected!"
"After rudely interrupting San Yueqi's explanation, Master Gongshu gave an order, and the ingenious creations around him surrounded him one by one with ill intentions."
"Seeing his explanation was inconclusive, Xing didn't bother to waste time talking. He just smashed his prized creation into pieces with two blows of his stick."
"Thick Cloud Golden Cicada! Lantern Day Dragon Fish! ...What's wrong with you? Hurry up and stand up! I will teach and raise you like my own flesh and blood..." Master Gongshu looked at the scattered parts on the ground, his face filled with sorrow.
"If you want to fight, then fight! Why are you smashing these little things that have been keeping me company for so long? Pay me back!" Master Gongshu roared.
Sanyueqi muttered in a low voice, feeling somewhat aggrieved, "You just refused to listen to my explanation! We came here to rescue people, and you just started beating us without saying anything..."
"Without his ingenious creations, Master Gongshu was willing to listen to explanations. Only then did he realize that everyone was sent here at the general's request. Upon hearing the word 'general,' Master Gongshu's expression suddenly changed 180 degrees, from cloudy to sunny, and he laughed:"
"Are you sent by the General? It's just a misunderstanding! Whatever, those little gadgets are broken!"
The world under one person.
"This Mr. Gongshu...haha, this is really interesting." Zhang Chulan was smoking a cigarette, lying on the sofa and looking at the light screen, feeling so comfortable.
"Master Wang, you know what, Mr. Gongshu's craftsmanship is quite similar to that of my eldest nephew."
"The Divine Machine...it tastes good, but in terms of effect, it's nowhere near as good as Ma Xianhong's." Wang Ye recalled the battle in Biyou Village. Ma Xianhong had shown them all kinds of magical props. Although that rural tech geek was a bit stubborn, his strength was not to be underestimated.
"Besides, I'm quite curious about that stove he was trying so hard to protect."
When it comes to the stove and Ma Xianhong, Zhang Chulan can't help but start to get itchy.
"Walter hopes Master Gongshu can lead the way. After all, they are unfamiliar with the area at the Gongzao Division."
"Master Gongshu sighed endlessly. The Industrial and Manufacturing Department has been taken over by an evil wood spirit, which has even stolen the department's most valuable treasure, the Creation Furnace. He is now unable to escape because the furnace contains..."
"He hesitated to speak, but Xing had already heard the hidden meaning behind Master Gongshu's words—he just wanted help, didn't he? And by the way, help him get the furnace back."
"Save some time, where are we going, who are we going to fight?" Xing said straight to the point.
"Haha, since General Jingyuan has invited you all here, there must be a deeper meaning. It's absolutely necessary to come and resolve the crisis at the Ministry of Works." Master Gongshu laughed heartily: "Come, this way!"
"Following Master Gongshu, the group crossed the painting screen, smashing various monsters along the way, and finally arrived at their destination."
"Look, the roots of Jianmu..." Sanyueqi exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hands."
"Countless spreading roots tightly entangled a massive furnace, each root as thick as dozens of people."
"Little boy, come and help me! Let's work together to cut it off and prevent it from penetrating the oven!"
Chapter 124: Damai Damai! Oysters! Can the Rich Black Deer eat them too?!
"Just as everyone was about to approach, the flower bud in front of the root system suddenly moved slightly, and the ground began to shake violently."
“Be careful!” Walter quickly called out to Xing and Sanyueqi as they approached. “That thing is changing!”
"Pale yellow dust slowly released from the flower bud, gradually enveloping the entire furnace. With the surge of immense and abundant power, the flower bud instantly blossomed, and a divine deer, clad entirely in deep blue, slowly emerged from it."
"The four horns of the sacred deer are covered with flowers and fruits, symbolizing the auspiciousness of harvest and life."
"Wow, this sacred deer looks really good. Its limbs are very strong, and its meat should be very firm."
In the world of Labyrinth Rice, the dwarf Sensi was wiping the iron pan in his hand while looking up at the light curtain in the sky with longing, a look of yearning.
Elf magician Malusil made a big X with her hands on her chest. "Damn, damn! Oysters! Oysters! This stuff looks completely inedible! A deer growing out of a flower, who knows if the meat would be poisonous!"
"It's okay." Senxi took out a piece of dried meat from his backpack. "This is the dried meat of the snaketail chicken. Although it is somewhat toxic, it won't cause poisoning if it is handled properly. The meat of the black deer should be similar."
"For a strong deer like this, the hind leg is best suited for grilling, but it's best to simmer it for half an hour before grilling."
Senxi's eyes suddenly glanced at the black deer's antlers, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh, Malusil, do you see the fruits hanging from its antlers? They look very delicious. You can marinate them with the juice of those fruits before stewing them. This way, the stewed venison will have a rich fruity aroma."
"The roots of Jianmu can also be used as a dish, and the roots of most plants are also quite delicious when prepared. And the way these roots grow endlessly seems perfect for growing in the maze as a staple food for adventurers."
"Uh... this is the fruit of Jianmu! After eating it, you will turn into a demonic body!" Malushiel reminded.
"It's okay. Many fruits are not poisonous if they are cooked."
Laos rested his chin on his hand as he pondered, "I remember there were similar fruits in the maze. If eaten raw, they would cause hallucinations and see many magical little people. But if they were cooked or dried and pickled, the poison would be removed and they would become very delicious."
"It's a pity that the pioneers have no intention of 'cooking' these monsters. Otherwise, there's no reason to miss such a delicacy." Senxi shook his head regretfully. "The upper leg meat of the black deer is best for making fried deer steaks, and the meat from the neck is perfect for making minced meat patties... It's also great for hot pot. What a pity..."
The dwarf Sensi muttered to himself as he headed towards the dark lower levels of the maze. His words piqued the appetite of Laos and the others, hoping to find a substitute for black deer meat deeper in the maze.
"What the hell is this monster?" Master Gongshu was horrified.
"It's truly a miracle, creating life with ease. This power is truly extraordinary..." Tingyun looked at the black deer with fascination and longing."
"This thing is guarding Jianmu's roots and furnace..." Walter's eyes glared.
"During the battle, every time the black deer stomped the ground, countless vines and branches would emerge from the ground and attack us. It wasn't difficult to clear them out, but it just kept wasting time."
"...Although the attacks from everyone can inflict damage to the Black Deer, under the protection of the abundant power, the injured parts of the Black Deer will repair at an extremely fast speed, and no matter how hard you hit, it will not fall."
"The train crew clearly had the upper hand in terms of the number of attacks, but after a prolonged battle, it was the besiegers who were at a disadvantage."
"This recovery ability... is just like a reversal technique. No matter how much damage is sustained, it can be continuously restored."
"...No, Yuta, the reversal technique can't achieve this effect."
Gojo Satoru put one hand in his pocket and pushed up his sunglasses with the other hand. His ice-blue eyes under the lenses were staring intently at Xuanlu's injured part.
"Not to mention that the reversal technique consumes two or three times the energy of a normal technique... Even if it can repair the body extremely quickly, it will be useless if the head is hit fatally."
Gojo Satoru's Adam's apple rolled slightly. "Also, the core of the cursed energy lies in the abdomen. If the abdomen is severely damaged—you're! Dead!!"
"So according to Gojo-sensei, to kill the black deer, you have to attack its head and kill it instantly? Or aim for other vital parts of its body?"
Yuta Otsutsuki frowned, he thought of his teacher's hollow style. Now the only one in the train set with such instant kill power was probably Mr. Walter's black hole, but in this way, the furnace behind Xuanlu would inevitably be affected.
"Oh my~ Yuta..." Gojo Satoru tapped his sunglasses lightly with his fingertips, "Observe, keep observing."
"Look at the black deer's feet. Aren't there several roots connected to it? This stupid deer is just an appearance. The real opponent is actually those tree roots that are rooted in different places."
"As long as we can find the nearby root system, even if we let Tiger Stick go up, the chance of winning against the Black Deer is at least..."
He raised two fingers and waved them in front of his eyes. "Two hundred percent! Although Yuji is still twenty Kusakabe away from the invincible Gojo Sensei, destroying the rootless Xuanlu is as easy as crushing the instant noodle wrapper~"
"Walter also noticed something was wrong and quickly asked everyone to evacuate."
"Oh my god, no wonder the Immortal Boat is so afraid of the Abundant Evil. This recovery ability is completely unreasonable!" Sanyueqi looked at Tingyun with lingering fear: "Miss Tingyun, the Immortal Boat's immortal species... can't all be like this?"
Tingyun laughed in silence. "This black deer is probably a spiritual creature born from Jianmu to protect it, and it's closely connected to the root system. Most of the creatures on the Immortal Boat don't have such outrageous abilities..."
"Alas, it seems that as long as it's still there, we won't be able to move forward." March Seventh was dejected.
"Not necessarily." Walter had already sensed something was wrong and looked towards the massive tree roots growing in the distance. "The black deer seems to be able to heal its wounds in an instant, but perhaps it's drawing supplies from somewhere..."
"Now that I've said that, Xing understood: 'Follow the roots and find its supplies?'"
"Cut the grass at its roots and let it suck away all its solitude!" Sanyueqi suddenly regained his strength and became excited.
Chapter 125: Darkness: Being attacked head-on by Megalongtide is the most satisfying thing...
"Everyone then looked around the Construction Department and found a number of roots spreading from the ground."
"But unfortunately, these tree roots grow too fast. If you destroy one, another will grow back. If you can't destroy them all at once, it will be difficult to start."
Looking at these growing roots, Master Gongshu recalled, "I remember when the deer came back to life, the surrounding Jianmu roots shimmered, as if giving it life. Why not use my equipment to burn these roots all at once?"
"After saying that, Master Gongshu quickly concocted a set of mechanical devices on the spot and aimed them at the growing and spreading roots."
“This device is called [Box Flowing Light], and it was originally developed on behalf of the Cloud Cavalry. It’s incredibly powerful, except… uh…”
"The distance is too short, and the energy consumption is too great?" Walter followed up on his words.
"The law of conservation of matter governs everything. Whatever is strong must have its weaknesses. Well, it's definitely enough to treat these ignorant roots." Master Gongshu smiled awkwardly.
Runeterra, Piltover.
"This weapon is quite interesting. Magic energy can be transmitted back and forth between different devices..." Abesa, who came to Piltover, was lying in the bathtub, enjoying the waiter's massage while thinking about Master Gongshu's interesting weapons.
She saw Xing and the others fiddling with the equipment, constantly adjusting the direction, before they finally destroyed all the roots in one go.
"A bit dull, but should be effective against Demacia's guards."
Ambesa recalled the scenes of fighting with the Demacians in the early years. What impressed him most was the material of their armor - it was an alloy called Demacian steel, which has long been famous in Runeterra. It is said that it was forged by their blacksmiths with holy water. It is not only light and hard, but also can provide high magic resistance.
She had been trying to send people to sneak into Demacia to obtain the secret recipe of holy water, but she had never succeeded. As a last resort, she could only change her thinking - how to destroy this annoying armor on the front battlefield.
"The disadvantage is that the range is too short and the energy consumption is too high... That means that as long as the weapon is powered with enough energy, it can inflict damage to the enemy at close range."
"I remember Mel knows a young man who's pretty good with a hammer. He seems to be quite skilled at weapon modification." Abesa rubbed his chin. "Why don't we ask him to help improve Master Gongshu's weapon? It should have quite a good effect..."
"Everyone ran back and forth in the construction department, spending several hours before finally burning all the exposed roots inside the department."
"According to my guess, the roots of the Jianmu tree are deep underground and everywhere. I can only say that the territory of the Construction Department should have been almost completely cleared." Master Gongshu stroked his beard, looking proud: "There is no time to waste, while the roots have not yet grown back..."
"Listen to the deer's cry!" Xing was eager to try.
"…That's a good use of the idiom. Don't use it next time." March Seven couldn't help but complain.
"Everyone quickly returned to the Abundant Black Deer and discovered that the roots entangled with the Creation Furnace had withered."
"Although the Abundant Black Deer stood there, the golden color on its body gradually dimmed. It seems that the destruction of its root system has indeed affected it significantly."
"Everyone grabbed their weapons and began beating the Harvest Black Deer once again. This time, its wounds didn't heal, but the vines and branches it summoned did undergo a slight change."
"The withered branches have grown lush and even produced large fruits!"
"Eh? Fruiting? Such big peaches... I really want to pick one and try it." Just as Sanyueqi was distracted, Walter immediately reminded him that now was not the time to be greedy.
"Suddenly, the fruit tree emitted a golden light, and in full view of everyone, it sent golden auras to the antlers of the black deer."
"Suddenly, a surge of power gathered at its head, forming a huge golden ball of light."
"[Dragon Touch] has been fully charged!!"
"This move is not good..."
An Geji narrowed her eyes slightly, and unconsciously dared not even breathe, for fear that she would miss this earth-shattering blow in the blink of an eye.
She had seen Gojo Satoru's Hollow Style "茈" on campus, but in terms of power, it couldn't be stronger than the attack from the Rich Black Deer. She had originally thought the Black Deer's most dangerous aspect was its constant rebirth, but it seemed it had a hidden killer move.
"It seems that abundance is not just about recovery, it also has a move to concentrate strength." Mingming smiled slightly.
On the other side, Ryomen Sukuna was watching all this with great interest.
"What? Didn't you say that this black deer is more boring than Moxu Luo?" The man in the cassock asked in a panic.
"Well, but there are indeed some changes now. I want to see how Xing and the others will respond to this move." Ryoumen Sukuna narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "The recovery ability of Mokoruo is ultimately its ability to adapt to all phenomena in the world. As long as you understand this level, it will not be difficult to crack it."
"This deer is different. Although its recovery ability is not as good as before, its attack... hehe."
