Chapter 405: Uncle Peng Takes Action
The previously enraged second-level water evolver was now staring blankly at the black feathers piercing above his head.
“These are their feathers, my Blood Lotus almost couldn’t handle it, it’s normal for your hastily gathered water element to be defeated.”
Zhang Mu didn’t argue with him, it’s not necessary to make a big deal out of this small matter within the team.
And this person’s water barrier indeed gave the Blood Lotus a second of time by trapping the vine cage.
It worked.
Otherwise, at least one third of the black feathers would penetrate through the cracks.
Seeing Zhang Mu giving himself an out, the water evolver gave him a grateful look.
Zhang Mu nodded lightly, indicating that he didn’t need to worry about it.
Through the opening of the Blood Lotus, Zhang Mu observed the Black-Feathered Eagle hovering about twenty meters above them, and slowly spoke.
“The danger level of this wilderness might be more serious than we imagine. I guess it’s because only mutated beasts remain in the wilderness.”
In this natural selection, only the strongest creatures who have grown through daily battles will survive.
The Black-Feathered Eagle above is an example. We know about their strength, but they are just a small group of mutated creatures hunting nearby.
Zhang Mu’s gaze became serious as he looked at the other nine people waiting for him to finish speaking.
“Let’s not forget that we have only advanced a hundred kilometers from where we started.”
Everyone understood exactly what Zhang Mu meant as he spoke each word.
“We have not even reached the true heart of the wilderness yet.”
Meanwhile, above the Blood Lotus, Black-Feathered Eagles were circling, and the sudden appearance of this massive creature made them wary with their newly awakened intelligence.
They recognized it as a mutated plant, similar to the big beings found in the wilderness zone.
And that being held absolute dominion.
Low-ranking mutated beasts would rather fight with other beasts than eat mutated plants.
Not only troublesome, but also if discovered by that person, entering the forbidden zone would attract attention.
The Black-Feathered Eagles do not know if the Blood Lotus is real or not, so they dare not move for now.
They only know that there is a lot of food under the Blood Lotus, so they are unwilling to leave.
It’s hard to find so much food all at once in the wilderness, it’s been a long time since they last found any.
They don’t want to give up, slowly lowering their altitude to test the attack range of the Blood Lotus.
Watching the Black-Feathered Eagles getting closer and closer above, Zhang Mu looked at the people around him and asked.
“Do you have a way to deal with those black-feathered birds above? If they get within ten meters, my Blood Lotus might catch them, but not all of them.”
“The key is, I don’t think these Black-Feathered Eagles are stupid enough to give up long-range attacks and approach us.”
Hachikuju looked at the big axe in his hand, then at Zhang Mu, with a helpless look in his eyes.
Knowing that he was unbeatable in close combat, Zhang Mu ignored Hachikuju directly, looked around at the surrounding people, who shook their heads one after another.
At this moment, Uncle Peng, who had been quietly drinking on the side, stood up.
He took a slow sip of his drink and asked Zhang Mu, looking at him.
“Dear Zhang Mu, a distance of fifteen meters should be their limit for getting close to you.”
“If I could slow their speed by more than half, could your vine capture them all?” Uncle Peng asked.
Zhang Mu looked at Uncle Peng doubtfully and said.
“Forget half, Uncle Peng, if you can reduce their speed by one-third, my Blood Lotus can catch them all, and none can escape.”
Where did Uncle Peng get his confidence from? The Black-Feathered Eagle is now the ruler of the sky, and Zhang Mu was also quite curious.
Could it be the gravity of earth-type powers?
But the vine cage is so close now, the height of the Black-Feathered Eagle’s location is a full fifteen meters away from the top.
If it’s the gravity from an earth-type evolver, a distance of twenty meters wouldn’t affect the Black-Feathered Eagle above.
Even if it is, unless Uncle Peng is a third-rank evolver, he wouldn’t be able to influence the Black-Feathered Eagle, which is eighteen meters away from them.
“Get ready, these beasts are about to make their final probe.”
Suddenly, Uncle Peng’s reminder interrupted Zhang Mu’s thoughts, and he had already activated the Blood Lotus, keeping it ready at all times.
Uncle Peng’s experience and judgment were sharp, the hovering height of the Black-Feathered Eagle had already reached the critical point he mentioned.
“Go!”
A simple word. Carrying Uncle Peng’s anxious decision.
These Black-Feathered Eagles are about to take flight!
When Uncle Peng spoke those words, the fifteen vines covering the top of the cage where Blood Lotus was held burst out like bullets, shooting out rapidly.
Upon seeing Blood Lotus launch an attack, the Black-Feathered Eagles scattered and flapped their wings, riding the airflow to ascend quickly.
However, their usually light wings were now being pulled down as if they were weighted. Instead of being lifted by the airflow, they struggled to adapt and showed signs of falling downward.
Blood Lotus didn’t show mercy. Just as the eagles were adjusting to the force pulling them down, thick vines precisely bound each Black-Feathered Eagle tightly.
With a sudden tightening, the sky was filled with the painful cries of the Black-Feathered Eagles, with several bones likely broken.
As Blood Lotus slowly reeled in its prey, Zhang Mu saw Uncle Peng beside him gulp in nervousness.
He now carried four evolvers on his body, along with their weapons, including Hachikuju.
There was a hint of resignation on Hachikuju’s face, the giant axe strapped to Uncle Peng’s body held in his right hand.
“I said, Uncle Peng, use your power to help me prepare, okay?”
When Uncle Peng saw Zhang Mu’s Blood Lotus tightly binding the Black-Feathered Eagle above, he then released his power, causing the iron objects and metal items attached to him to fall off awkwardly.
Magnetism!
Uncle Peng is an evolver with a magnetic field!
A rare awakening ability that perfectly counters all evolvers of the same level with metal abilities.
A face marked with wrinkles left by time, eyes showing a hint of helplessness.
“They don’t know, don’t you know either?
I thought you would have realized when I reminded Zhang Mu earlier.”
Then he smiled and looked at Zhang Mu.
“I looked at the feathers that had penetrated this plant’s defense and guessed that they had turned metallic.”
“Not bad, my old eyes can still see clearly. I made the right guess, or I would have been embarrassed.”
