However, he quickly got up. Apart from the excruciating pain from the lightning strike, he was unharmed. The lightning had transformed into energy and merged back into his body.
Qi Feng looked down at his hands and found it somewhat unbelievable.
Seemingly finding a rhythm, he glanced down at Chuanchuan and said, "Let's continue. We need to deal with these mutated flying insects."
Chuanchuan hearing the command, Chuan Chuan excitedly unleashed electric shocks on the mutated flying insects perched on the tree trunks. One powerful bolt of lightning after another crackled and popped on the mutated insects, causing them to fall uncontrollably. The smell of burnt insects could be smelled from afar.
Some of the mutated flying insects that had escaped the electric shock flew in all directions. Some of them flew to the hiding place of Sang Luoluo. The group didn't sit still either, and they attacked together. The Crystal Core and laser weapons never stopped, and one mutated flying insect after another was killed.
Qi Xue missed the intelligent defense system of the old base. It could automatically identify and eliminate nearby mutated flying insects, and could eliminate any living thing within a certain range. However, this weapon was large and inconvenient to carry.
But now, Sang Luoluo's ability is easy to carry around. When we get back, I must make Sang Luoluo buy one. No, I can prepare ten, so that when we encounter mutated flying insect nests or even mutated bees again, we won't be so passive.
Sang Luoluo had become numb from using her Mental Power to shoot.
Tens of thousands of mutated flying insects were still inhabiting the trees ahead. At this rate, their Crystal Core would soon be rendered useless.
Sang Luoluo stopped and said, "This won't do, it's too slow. Many of the mutated flying insects have already escaped. I'll try going up the tree. I'll use my Mental Power to deal with some of them, and the rest are yours. Otherwise, how long will this fight go on?"
Qi Xue agreed, "Be careful, we'll cover you."
A hundred meters ahead, Qi Feng and Chuanchuan were cooperating very well. Qi Feng was gradually able to control the power of lightning. However, he was still not very proficient, so he did not mobilize too much energy in his body. Instead, he released only a small portion of his energy to gather into the power of lightning and control its effects.
Just now, Chuanchuan showed off his skills to him again.
The mutated flying insects swarmed directly at them, Chuanchuan the lightning bolts were moved within a three-meter radius around them. Any mutated flying insects that got close to them were struck by the lightning in mid-air with a crackling sound.
I learned something new.
He simply cannot yet achieve such precise control over energy.
I can only use it while looking at the Chuanchuan.
He heard Sang Luoluo and their plan through his earpiece. He didn't refuse; if he wasted any more time, more of the mutated flying insects in the tree would just run away.
Sang Luoluo flew directly through the air, and any insects that approached her vanished instantly, clearly pulled into her spatial dimension by her Mental Power.
Sang Luoluo flew steadily to the giant tree. At the center of the trunk, within a thirty-meter radius, she used her Mental Power to pull all the mutated flying insects within her controllable range into her space. Then, she moved and pulled the remaining mutated flying insects within the area on the trunk into her space as well.
Near Sang Luoluo, no mutated flying insects could be seen within a 30-meter radius.
Qi Feng looked down at the residual lightning on his hand, wondering when he could become this powerful.
Sang Luoluo didn't know what they were thinking. Now she was facing a problem: the mutated flying insects in the space had been gathered together. She had compressed them into a space, but that didn't change the fact that they were all alive. Using Crystal Core would be too wasteful, and laser weapons wouldn't be able to solve the problem in a short time.
Using bombs doesn't seem necessary; a few wouldn't kill that many.
Having pondered this for a while, Qi Feng looked over, and Sang Luoluo's gaze fell on Chuanchuan. Her eyes lit up; she had an idea.
Sang Luoluo took a few steps forward, and once Chuanchuan was within her Mental Power control range, she pulled it into her space, spoke to Chuanchuan with her consciousness, and placed it in front of the huge swarm of mutated flying insects.
" Chuanchuan, it's up to you now! Quickly use your lightning to kill them all, make sure you kill all the mutated flying insects!"
The Chuanchuan wagged its tail and came forward; it listened to its owner.
It immediately moved forward, spewing powerful lightning from its mouth, directly towards the swarm of mutated flying insects.
Sang Luoluo could see the residual lightning hidden among the corpses of the mutated flying insects. She could vaguely see the purple lightning flashing by, and the crackling sounds were incessant. Before this attack was over, a second Chuanchuan followed immediately.
The powerful lightning killed all the mutated flying insects in this space instantly, accumulating into a thick layer on the ground, emitting a burnt smell.
Chuanchuan watched all this with satisfaction, then turned to its owner to show off its accomplishment.
Sang Luoluo handed it a piece of jerky, "Well done, Chuanchuan, you're getting better and better!"
The Chuanchuan wagged their tails so much from the praise.
Sang Luoluo remembered the mutated flying insects outside and said, " Chuanchuan, there are still quite a few mutated flying insects outside. Let's go out and chase them."
After taking the Chuanchuan out of the space, Qi Feng saw Sang Luoluo close her eyes for a while, and then the Chuanchuan came out.
With the threat of the mutated flying insects gone, Qi Xue and Lei Qi arrived.
"How's it going? Is everything resolved?"
Sang Luoluo explained, "Thanks to Chuanchuan, I pulled those mutated flying insects into the space and trapped them in one place. Chuanchuan killed them with lightning, turning them into a pile of corpses."
"Very good. Let us clean up the rest slowly."
After saying that, everyone split up to kill the few mutated flying insects that flew away. It would be much easier for Sang Luoluo, who had a sense of perception, to pull them into the space and trap them within her Mental Power range. Once a large enough number had been accumulated, she would let Chuanchuan go in and deal with them.
This method is much more convenient than using Crystal Core.
Qi Feng can now control energy, manipulating lightning to kill the mutated flying insects surrounding him, one by one. His control over energy is more precise, and his Chuanchuan are always accurate. As soon as he spots a mutated flying insect, he takes care of it all.
After a morning's work, their team had wiped out all the mutated flying insects in the vicinity. A few that managed to escape had flown too far for them to catch, so they had to let them go.
Sang Luoluo discovered that there were also some very small Crystal Core inside the corpses of those mutated flying insects. Anyway, the corpses were all stored in her space, and she could deal with them together later.
"Let's go, this place is almost cleaned up."
Qi Feng said in a low voice.
The group gathered around and continued forward in a defensive posture. They were now heading deeper into the area, which was unfamiliar territory. Sang Luoluo occasionally encountered one or two familiar spots. She had been here countless times three hundred years ago, but now, so much had changed. Due to the surrounding mutated plants, she could barely discern her direction.
It can only be done by relying solely on device positioning.
Qi Feng fired two shots, taking down the mutated animal several hundred meters away. He Fei followed up with a shot. Sang Luoluo didn't even realize what was happening until a living mutated animal approached within 300 meters. She then realized it was a mutated wild pheasant.
There was a group of about seven or eight of them, rustling and whispering in the grass.
Sang Luoluo walked forward and sensed that there were Crystal Core inside the fallen corpses, so she said she would go and collect them.
As the group approached, Sang Luoluo sensed the presence of large mutated snakes nearby, and more than one at that.
There are even snake caves underground, winding around nearby. There are also many Crystal Core there.
Not only that, there are bird holes above the tree trunk, and some mutated birds live here.
If you continue forward, there are still mutated rats active underground.
Mutant ants also have their own individual burrows, and the burrows of these different mutated animals are not connected to each other, which is truly amazing.
Sang Luoluo shared her findings, which didn't surprise Qi Feng and the others. Now that they were deeper in the area, the ecosystem was rich, the food chain was complete, and there was a wide variety of creatures.
"What should we do?" Sang Luoluo collected the mutated pheasant carcasses and found that one of them was actually of medium radiation and could be eaten, so she put it aside separately. She put the rest with the mutated flying insect carcasses.
Qi Feng and Qi Xue discussed it and decided to deal with the mutated rats first, then the mutated snakes, then the mutated birds, and then the others. Of course, there might be unexpected events when they took action, so they had to be careful. Secondly, if the situation became uncontrollable, safety would be the top priority.
Qi Feng decided to use their most common tactic: from four directions, Sang Luoluo squatted on the tree trunks and scattered a handful of peanuts and walnuts onto the ground. The sound of the nuts immediately attracted the mutated rats underground, who crawled out of their burrows.
Next, the five of them concentrated their firepower. The number of mutated rats was even greater than expected. Sang Luoluo set up 10 Crystal Core and swept them across the ground. In a short while, a pile of mutated rat corpses had accumulated. The strong smell of blood attracted the mutated snakes living nearby.
Sang Luoluo didn't even need to make a move; Qi Xue shot her dead with several shots in quick succession.
A giant snake was riddled with holes.
Sang Luoluo gave her a thumbs up.
That's really impressive.
Sang Luoluo lay on the tree trunk. Mutant ants passed by, and she directly put them into her spatial storage and killed them. Those further away were killed directly with her Crystal Core, so she was safe.
The mutated birds overhead set their sights on the pile of mutated rat and snake corpses on the ground, the strong smell of blood exciting them.
