Chapter 230
“You can also inject Spiritual Energy in the opposite direction in this trap?”
Ye Chen was filled with questions. He immediately asked the problem when the urgent matter had been resolved. In any case, it would take some time for Kun Peng to bring the Feather Dragons out of the shelter. It would be a waste of time not to ask.
In order to ensure the safety of the Feather Dragons, the shelter was built near the passage in the middle of the ice and fire arrays. That place was close to the fire array, so the Spiritual Energy of Goulong wouldn’t affect it too much, nor would the young Feather Dragons feel uncomfortable because of the heavy Fire Spiritual Energy.
However, the leader of the Feather Dragons that designed the structure of the shelter clearly thought a lot. It extended the space that led to the shelter and set up multiple barriers to protect it. It was even prepared for the shelter to be broken through. Therefore, it made the internal space very complicated and scattered its people in various small spaces. It finally figured out the Art of Goulong.
At this time, it became extremely difficult to enter and exit the shelter. It was possible for his mutated beasts to do this for more than half an hour.
!!
He was also happy since Zhurong and Goulong were no longer worried about not being able to go out because of their insufficient mental abilities. He could take away what he needed to take and finish asking the questions he needed to ask.
The first thing he had to ask was about the trap device.
It was not as if Ye Chen had never dealt with such a trap before. However, the setup of this thing was extremely exquisite. It could only let the fragments of the Spirit Pool inside release Spiritual Energy. Then, it could use the perception of the gel on the trap to sense the external Spiritual Energy as a fuse to trigger the trap. According to Ye Chen and the other Divine Beasts’ experiments, it could not absorb Spiritual Energy.
This was definitely not a misunderstanding caused by lack of ability or experience. Ye Chen had once talked to Zhurong about this trap device and what he learned was similar to what he knew.
In addition, after his system authority was upgraded, he came to the fire array to check the various system notifications. There was no introduction of the trap equipment that could be used to input Spiritual Energy.
It was completely abnormal for Goulong to be able to inject Spiritual Energy in the opposite direction.
After Ye Chen asked this question, Zhurong also nodded repeatedly.
“I don’t think so either. First of all, didn’t you suggest that they go to the fire array before triggering the trap? I thought you were provoking me before. After all, the Spiritual Energy in the trap should have come from the fragment of the Spirit Pool and has nothing to do with the abilities of the mutated beasts we’re possessing. However, when I triggered the trap, I realized that the speed of my Spiritual Energy had slowed down and was almost suppressed by the Spiritual Energy on your side. What’s going on?” It asked seriously.
Ye Chen was shocked. “At that time, your strength was really suppressed?”
Zhurong nodded and admitted it unwillingly.
“When have I ever joked with you when I’m doing something serious?” Goulong first refuted Zhurong before explaining, “Let me talk about Zhurong’s question first. That’s because my mental energy has temporarily merged with the kid I’m possessing. While I can mobilize its mental energy, the strengthening of my mental energy will allow the trap to squeeze out more Spiritual Energy from the fragment of my Spirit Pool. Therefore, the trap in the secret chamber of the ice array at that time definitely could release more Spiritual Energy.”
Then, it turned to Ye Chen. “I said that I felt that the Spiritual Energy here was a little out of control because of this. Fortunately, Zhurong is alive. The Spiritual Energy in its trap is more active and can quickly counterattack my Spiritual Energy. Otherwise, the Spiritual Energy on both sides wouldn’t be able to offset each other and things would be troublesome.”
“I’ve spent a lot of effort to squeeze Spiritual Energy from the trap equipment here. Don’t even think about killing my efforts. Hurry up and thank me!” Zhurong’s words and actions seemed a little childish compared to Goulong probably because the consciousness of the fragment of the Spirit Pool had only been independent for about 200 years. Goulong rolled its eyes and ignored it as it continued to speak to Ye Chen.
“First of all, I don’t inject Spiritual Energy into the trap in reverse.” It explained, “If you see the flow of Spiritual Energy, it’s a kind of assimilation ability. It also doesn’t belong to me.”
“Did the fragments of the Dragon Claw Grass give you the ability?” Ye Chen asked.
Goulong shook his head at him.
“That power is the Wind God’s ability. Since you don’t know about it, it means that my kind has been hiding this ability since the first mutated beast war.” It pointed at the divine pillar behind it. “The Sky Domain’s Dragon Claw Grass above also carries the power of the Wind God. However, it doesn’t have consciousness and can’t cleanse the curse in the wind-type Spiritual Energy. That’s why it exploded when it encountered fire. As long as we can use the purified Spiritual Energy to exert influence, we can purify its curse.”historical
The more Ye Chen listened, the more confused he became.
“Can you explain it in stages?” He suggested, “How did the curse come about and what the principle of purification is? Can you explain this first? Also, what exactly is the Human-Faced Snakes hiding and what has it got to do with the Dragon Claw Grass? If you don’t explain it clearly, anyone who hears it will be confused.”
What Goulong said seemed to be reserved in various pieces of information, making him feel like he was guessing a riddle. He could clearly let people understand the entire situation in one go, but the other party kept hiding it and was unwilling to say it. This made Ye Chen a little unhappy. Who would be willing to suspect everything if the information was complete?
Upon hearing this, Goulong and Zhurong looked at each other for a while and fell silent.
Ye Chen looked at the two of them in doubt.
“Judging from your reaction, both of you know about it?” He asked.
“No, I’m not.” Zhurong was the first to speak. “It’s just that I thought of something when I heard it say something about assimilation..” Then, it turned to Goulong. “Is the conversion of the Spiritual Energy attributes of the Human-Faced Snakes related to this Wind God?”
Goulong let out a long sigh. “I knew you could think of this,” it said. “It’s related, but that was at the end of the war. It’s a long story. I have to start from when my kind lost our wings.”
Zhurong seemed to have become gentler.
“I participated in the battle at that time and knew that a portion of the Human-Faced Birds lost their wings and fell into the Deep Sea Palace. At that time, the Sun Celestial Heavens wanted to take them back but were rejected. As far as I know, their Fire Spiritual Energy had yet to be converted to Water Spiritual Energy at that time. I’ve always been very surprised by this.”
It was talking about the ancestor of the Human-Faced Snakes.
Ye Chen recalled the information he had read and heard Goulong sigh again.
“It’s not that they want to refuse. At that time, the Gods had already given up on our kind. Who wouldn’t want to return to the Sun Celestial Heavens if there’s hope?” It said.
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.
Good heavens, there was something going on.
