“Get down!! Get down! Don’t move, don’t make a sound!!!”
After roaring, Hou Ying was the first to lie down. Everyone didn’t know why, but their trust in Hou Ying had deepened into their bones, so they followed him to the ground one after another.
Those leaves suddenly rushed towards them, covered, and surrounded them. The team was stiff, but soon they found that these leaves were very soft, like silk, and had no lethality at all!
What’s going on?!
All of them have this question in their minds.
Hou Ying said stiffly, “Don’t move, wait for them to leave.”
They’re even more puzzled, but it was like Hou Ying predicted. After about 15 minutes, the leaves pressing on them quickly pulled away and returned among the dense foliage of the banyan tree, as if they had never left.
Hou Ying: “Get up, let’s leave first.”
The group walked away again. Hou Ying didn’t let them stop until they walked for nearly half an hour. He scolded angrily, “TMD, that banyan tree is really fucking refined!”
“Brother Hou, what happened just now?”
When they gave up resistance and lay down, they really thought they were dead this time, but they didn’t expect the twists and turns. Why on earth did those leaves let them go? Is it because they have shown goodwill first, so peace is precious?
Hou Ying’s face was unsightly, he said, “Those leaves have no attack power at all. The reason why they’re so powerful is that they consume our abilities and use our own abilities to attack us!”
“What do you mean?”
Everyone was shocked.
“The leaves are so fast because they absorb Lao Er’s ability. Didn’t you find that Lao Er’s ability depletes the fastest? Fuck, these two banyan trees are too wicked. No matter whether there are ability users or not, they can consume the ability attacking them and turn them into their own use. Wait, they swallow not only abilities but also wood crystals. Otherwise, they won’t be so fond of Xuanyuan’s ability, and Xuanyuan, the nature of your ability is actually the plant condensed by the wood crystal, which is essentially a part of it. The reason they escape as if running for their lives is that they are afraid of being eaten. Feel it. After the attack just now, has the wood crystal in your body been weakened?”
Li Xuanyuan’s perception confirmed Hou Ying’s guess.
Qiao Daye swallowed and asked Hou Ying, “Brother Hou, how did you find out?”
Hou Ying was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, “…I saw it.” After a pause, he added, “I saw the ability energy on the leaves, fire, wind, speed, and even space cutting.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Everyone is at a loss as to what this means, but Hou Ying’s next words surprised them again, “Can’t you see it Lao Er?… I didn’t notice it before, but I saw it when I touched you.”
“Brother Hou… What the heck are you talking about?”
Gongsun Jing felt that her brain was not enough. At this time, she no longer hated Liu Zhan, otherwise, at least one person could keep up with Brother Hou’s brain circuit.
Hou Ying had the impulse to smoke. He called Qiao Daye and asked him to come over, put his hand on him again, and looked around on his shoulder. His eyes stayed in one direction. Then he pointed to a place and said, “There’s a nest of bird eggs there, five in total, am I right?”
Qiao Daye looked over and suddenly took a cold breath, “It’s too far away… Brother Hou, I can only see the nest and eggs, but I can’t see how many there are.”
Hou Ying was stunned.
Because he can see it very clearly.
Qiao Daye, whose visual ability also reached level 3 high-level, can’t see clearly, but he saw it as clear as day, even the spots on the bird’s eggs.
Everyone stared at the two of them, not knowing what dumb riddles they were playing. Li Xuanyuan suddenly said, “Hou Ying, you have a visual ability.”
Hou Ying let go and looked over.
He said, “I don’t know. I can’t see it now.”
He put his hand on Qiao Daye again.
“Now, I can see it again.”
Qiao Daye exclaimed, “Brother Hou! Do you have it or not! Make it clear!”
“There’s a shit! I already told you, I have to touch you before I can see it! You asked me what’s going on, then who do I ask?”
Hou Ying is also grumpy.
Li Xuanyuan stepped forward and took Hou Ying’s hand without warning. He raised his other hand, and the keel and vines appeared at his fingertips. He stared at the other man and said, “You, try it.”
“Xuanyuan… This is a big joke.”
“I asked you to try it!”
Li Xuanyuan yelled at him.
Hou Ying spread out his other hand and waited for a few seconds. Before he’s about to give up, green silk threads emerge from his fingertips. Hou Ying was startled and narrowly suppressed his scream. Li Xuanyuan let go of his hand and the increasingly dense green silk wrapped around his palm suddenly disappeared. Li Xuanyuan took a deep breath, turned to the others, and said, “You guys, give Hou Ying a try.”
After successive tests, everyone fell into weird silence.
There seemed to be no surprise or excitement.
Until—
“Ah!!! Houzi! So you’re an old fairy! What the hell!! You’re going to heaven! Why don’t you go to heaven!!”
Ji Yao erupted.
Hou Ying burst into laughter and roared, “No wonder I can absorb so many crystal nuclei of different attributes, holy fuck, it turns out to be this way! MD, am I going to be invincible?!”
Everyone: ” …”
They finally understand why the revolutionary friendship between Brother Hou and Yaoji is unwavering.
Li Xuanyuan slapped Hou Ying on the back of the head, “Wait until we go back and laugh again. We will now hurry down the mountain before it gets dark.”
Then everyone recovered from this shocking discovery and stood up one after another, “Yes, yes, let’s go back first.”
“Oh, don’t tell me, then let’s scare Ah Zhan and the others. Maybe their jaws will fall off, haha.” Qiao Daye snickered.
It turned out that this was the sequelae of too much surprise. Their emotions were out of control as if they were drunk.
Hou Ying took a deep breath and said, “Wait, let’s clean up this tree before we return.”
Everyone: “…”
Brother Hou, are you serious?
Gongsun Jing was the first to remind him, “Brother Hou, even if you can borrow all of our abilities now, and your level is a little higher than us, the twin banyan trees have absorbing and rebounding abilities. We’re like sending our abilities to them as food.”
They’re all afraid of Hou Ying’s head getting hot and doing something blindly.
Hou Ying exhaled. He didn’t explain why he wanted to do this, instead, he said with a calm face and a little frustration, “I was reckless before. I’m sorry. I’m so selfish and let everyone take risks. I’m really sorry. I regret instigating you just now—”
“Brother Hou, what’s the matter with you?”
“Brother Hou, don’t say that. Attacking the banyan tree is a decision we all made together.”
“That’s right, Brother Hou, it’s a glorious defeat. Don’t take this to heart. Besides, aren’t we all right now?”
“Yes, yes, if you hadn’t seen the truth, we might have used up all our energy.”
Hou Ying was not comforted by them. In any case, what he did just now really lost the responsibility that a captain should bear. He’s so selfish that he made the wrong decision. Even when Ji Yao reminded him, he’s still headstrong, which resulted in a fundamental mistake. Seeing everyone being attacked by the banyan leaves and couldn’t escape, yet still trying to protect him, he really regretted it until his intestines turned green.
The sense of crisis at that time completely made his mind sober. He felt that he’s crazy before, and actually had the kind of thought that if he could help Li Xuanyuan get the wood crystal of the banyan tree, even if he made some sacrifices, it would be worth it.
He noticed the most despicable thought in his heart, and at that moment felt that he had never been so ugly.
Until now, he couldn’t figure out why he had such an insane idea at the time. Does he love Li Xuanyuan? He couldn’t tell why. But he could only affirm that he likes Li Xuanyuan and wants to possess him, but this is more about his desire to conquer and his desire to have company. However, one day, he would actually use Li Xuanyuan as an excuse to indulge his selfishness and use the trust of his life and death teammates to drive them to do these things.
Hou Ying noticed that he had become strange and terrifying.
He finally realized his change.
Originally, he’s not a calm person in his bones, but in a society ruled by law, he would be a good citizen and a good young man because he has such self-control and doesn’t have much ambition. But now it’s different. After the end of the world, he led the team all the way. The victories he gained made his ambition inflate and dominating others also made him excited.
In the end, he was blinded by power.
After self-analysis, Hou Ying nearly slapped himself to death.
What is he doing? In the beginning, he just wanted to find Wang Hehe, depend on each other, and survive in the apocalypse. Later, he had teammates and took on more responsibilities, forcing himself to grow up calmly and quickly. He thought he had a spirit of sacrifice, but he did not expect that in the end, he was just conceited.
He sighed. He didn’t have the courage to tell everyone his true face, nor did he have the courage to look up at Li Xuanyuan, who was keen on investigating people’s hearts. He’s afraid that the other party would see the despicableness of his heart, and fear that he will… loathe him.
Hou Ying took a deep breath and said, “Let’s not talk about this, I have a way to deal with twin banyans.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up and stared at Hou Ying. The latter smiled, pulled Meng Hanghai to his side, and said loudly, “Xiaohai is our magic weapon to win. I finally know what Xiaohai’s ability is!”
Multitasker Hou Ying! Hahahaha! Thanks for the chapter! 🤣❤️
Powerful Hou Ying! XD
Thanks for the chapter ❤️❤️
Well he is a Zombie King after all.
