Jiang Cheng couldn't study how to use the Twin Explosive Mirror at the moment, so he decided to wait until he had some free time. It seemed to be a weapon exclusively for Evolvers, so Non-Evolvers couldn't use it. Nevertheless, he found it strange that he was able to activate the mirror even though he didn't possess any Evonergy.
He didn't have to do anything to activate it, just holding it in his hand was enough. The previously pure white mirror became a real mirror, reflecting his own figure and the environment around him.
The sky was already bright, and the sun was shining hot. Despite that, Yaya and Tong Xiaorou were still wearing the Ice Jade that Yang Kuifeng had given them. Yaya was in his arms while Tong Xiaorou clung to his arm. It felt like he was carrying two mini air conditioners with him, which was quite refreshing.
'Those pieces of Ice Jade were obtained by making friends with a shelter folk. So, there's no need to take resources by force.'
Finally, they passed through the area ravaged by the giant green bison.
In front of them was a wide passage created by the collision of the Terrawheeler.
However, Jiang Cheng's plan to run was destined to be put on hold.
The path that the Terrawheeler had created was tougher to traverse compared to other forest areas, and without power armor to clear the way, it was impossible to pass through. Many withered vines and trees had been violently compressed and twisted together, forming an impenetrable barrier three meters above the ground.
As a result, Jiang Cheng had to avoid the Terrawheeler's path and instead navigate through the areas where the trees were not crushed. While it made the journey easier, it was far from fast. In many places, he had to use a knife to cut through obstacles like withered vines.
He thought, 'It seems that those power armor are mainly used to open up a path for the Wildlings who follow them?'
However, it would definitely consume more energy to forcefully break through the forest.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Jiang Cheng did not stop. He followed the route created by the collision of the Terrawheeler and continued forward.
Gradually, the sun had risen to the top of their heads, and the trees in front of them began to become sparse. Large patches of withered grass appeared in the open space. This made Jiang Cheng frown slightly. He had a bad feeling.
Growl...
Suddenly, Yaya's small belly made a sound. "I'm not hungry," the little girl hurriedly said. Perhaps she was worried that it would affect their journey. She was very sensible and knew that it was not the time to eat.
Jiang Cheng came back to his senses and realized that he had forgotten about breakfast because he was so anxious. He was very hungry now.
"Forget it. If the Terrawheller doesn't plan to stop, we won't be able to catch up with them. "
And if the boat stopped, they would catch up sooner or later.
In addition, the trees in front of them were visibly decreasing, and a large patch of grass had appeared.
After that, there might not be any more trees. It was best to collect some wood resources first, in case there was no fuel for the bonfire later.
"Let's eat first."
Jiang Cheng brought the two girls to a stop under a tree. He took out water and food and ate with the two girls.
Behind them, Liang Xin stopped 20 meters away and began to dig the grass silently. To her surprise, the soil here was tightly bound by numerous grass roots, causing the water to drain slowly. As a result, the grass roots were not completely dried up and could still be consumed.
Tong Xiaorou ate the roast meat while rubbing the bump on Jiang Cheng's head. "Does it hurt?" After sleeping with Jiang Cheng, not only was she more clingy, but she was also more proactive when facing Jiang Cheng. Previously, she did not dare to take the initiative to approach Jiang Cheng.
"It's alright. It doesn't hurt anymore." Jiang Cheng smiled.
As he spoke, he could not help but look at Liang Xin in the distance. At this moment, she was struggling to pull out the grass and dig out the roots under the dry and cracked soil.
Although the grass roots in the shallow layer had already dried up, there were still some raw ones in the deeper layers. They had a very small amount of water and could be eaten.
What Jiang Cheng cared about was how she had survived the previous event.
Judging from the fact that her clothes had completely disappeared, there was a high probability that she had also been sucked into the cyclone. It was possible that she was in the same cyclone as Pan Xiaoan and had fallen from the sky with a large number of dead branches. However, while Pan Xiaoan was torn apart by the cyclone and Liang Xin's clothes were also completely torn apart, she remained unharmed.
In fact, Jiang Cheng had already suspected something about her yesterday. Liang Xin's HP was too low. With 0.1 HP, she should have been in a near-death state. However, other than being a little weak and unable to do heavy work, she seemed to be fine. Just like now, although he couldn't run because there were too many withered vines blocking his way, his speed wasn't slow. However, Liang Xin managed to keep up and did not fall behind.
"What are you staring at?" Tong Xiaorou asked when she saw Jiang Cheng looking at the naked Liang Xin. Despite Liang Xin's skinny appearance, Tong Xiaorou felt a twinge of jealousy.
Jiang Cheng felt resigned. 'Would I even be interested in a woman that skinny?'
"Nothing," he replied with a smile, retracting his gaze. For the time being, he didn't want to stir up any more trouble.
As long as Liang Xin wasn't a threat and didn't cause any problems for him, he could tolerate her presence.
After finishing his meal of roast meat and water, Jiang Cheng took out his mirror
The mirror was the size of a palm, and it was pure white. The back and the edges were always white.
However, after he took it out, the mirror slowly turned from pure white to a real mirror, reflecting him, Yaya beside him, and the trees behind him.
Because she was present at the time, Tong Xiaorou knew what it was. Seeing that Jiang Cheng was studying it, she immediately pulled Yaya over so that she would not disturb Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng studied it carefully and soon discovered that there was a small black dot inside the mirror.
That little black dot…It was very strange. It was not a reflection of the environment, nor was it a stain on the mirror.
However, the small black dot really appeared inside the mirror, as if there was an independent mirror space inside.
"This little black dot, could it be that imitation time bomb?"
According to Yang Kuifeng, this so-called weapon needed to be charged before it could be used, and the charging time was very long.
Jiang Cheng was bewildered and tried to control it with his mind.
However, there was no reaction.
"How do I use this thing?"
He studied it over and over again, but he could not find the trick.
The mirror was completely one piece. There were no gaps or screws, so it could not be disassembled.
He didn't know how the famous Dr. Yang was created.
"Can it be fused?"
He tried to take out the bison bones and synthesize them. Now, there were only about 600 bison bones left. He had thrown away a lot of them against the stones to resist the cyclone. He had even thrown away all the wood logs. Now, only the bison meat and more than half of the bison bones were left.
POOF!
As soon as the fusing skill was used, the bison bone shattered.
It failed.
"Is it because the material's grade is too low? "
Jiang Cheng tried to strengthen the bison bone three times and continued to fuse it into the mirror.
However, he still failed.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and used up 40 to 50 bison bones. He made a bison that had been synthesized four times and tried again.
However, he still failed.
"What's the reason?" he asked, frowning. Is the material of this mirror too high level? Or is there a limit to the materials that can be synthesized?"
Of course, it was also possible that he was unlucky now, because the success rate of the synthesis was uncertain.
He put it into his Item Box again. Just like in the game, he clicked on it and found that there was indeed a string of text displaying its attributes:
[Twin Explosion Mirror]
[Item Grade: White]
[Usage: Uses the principle of mirror reflection to project the target into the mirror, allowing the Yin mirror to overlap with the target and detonate after charging. In theory, as long as the target is still within the straight line of the mirror, it will take effect. It ignores distance, but it is easy to avoid. People with strong perception will discover it in advance.]
[Refinement Status: Unrefined]
