Chapter 34: Twin Explosive Mirror

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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]


Chapter 35: Evolved Mantis; Unlucky Liang Xin

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"This item box even has an identification function?" Jiang Cheng was a little surprised.

The principle of specular reflection made sense. In theory, it would work as long as it was within a straight line of the mirror. However, it would be difficult for the person holding the Twin Explosive Mirror to find the target when the distance was too far. Thus, Jiang Cheng did not take "be free from the limitation of distance" seriously. Besides, it could be dodged and sensed easily, which meant it had a huge flaw.

"It's not bad. After all, it's only the quality of White. I can't ask for too much."

If the Twin Explosive Mirror could be fused and strengthened, it might become even stronger in the future. However, it was useless temporarily as Jiang Cheng did not know how to refine it at all. He took out the Twin Explosive Mirror and studied it again. He even tried to bind it with his blood, but nothing happened.

'How can I refine this?' Jiang Cheng was speechless in his heart, 'I'm suffering from having little knowledge. Forget it. I'll continue studying it when I have time.'

Jiang Cheng put the Twin Explosive Mirror away and stood up. Liang Xin, who was twenty meters away, stood up subconsciously too. However, she continued to squat down and dig the grassroots when seeing that Jiang Cheng only placed his hand on the tree and did not look like he was leaving.

Jiang Cheng glanced at Liang Xin. This woman knew her place well and never drove him to distraction by staring at him. At this moment, she might have guessed what he was about to do, and she even turned around.

Jiang Cheng was about to collect the log with a thought. Suddenly, his hand turned to take out Tang Dynasty Sword and slashed fiercely.

THUD!

With a loud sound, Jiang Cheng and the figure who had ambushed him flew backward at the same time. Tong Xiaorou, Yaya, and Liang Xin, who was far away, were all shocked.

Jiang Cheng clearly saw the attacker was actually a huge yellow-brown mantis when he sent flying. The mantis's body was the same color as the withered grass around it, and it almost fooled him.

"Xiaorou, take Yaya and retreat!" Jiang Cheng roared and charged forward again.

The mantis was a hard case. It waved its blade arm and actually wanted to attack Jiang Cheng head-on. This kind of creature liked to sneak up on others, so he did not know why it was fighting with him head-on.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The evolved mantis waved its arms crazily. Its blade arms collided with Tang Dynasty Sword making a deafening noise. The sparks flew everywhere when the man and mantis flashed rapidly and fought back and forth under the giant tree.

Tong Xiaorou hurriedly retreated from the battle area with Yaya. However, something jumped out from the side at this moment. It was as fast as lightning, and its cold saber arm slashed over.

Tong Xiaorou's expression changed drastically. Due to the disparity in strength, she only had time to turn around with Yaya in her arms and use her back to face the one that had launched a sneak attack.

THUD!

A black shadow suddenly pushed her away and allowed her to escape death. While that figure was directly sent flying by the sharp mantis blade.

Puff.

When Jiang Cheng took the opportunity with great difficulty to hack away the head of the mantis, he saw the moment Tong Xiaorou was ambushed. Also, Liang Xin actually pounced forward to ward Tong Xiaorou off from the attack. Although he was surprised that Liang Xin would help him, this could not suppress the anger in his heart.

"Go to hell!" Jiang Cheng stomped on the ground and charged at the mantis that ambushed him.

BUZZ!

However, the mantis instantly flapped its wings and fled, disappearing into the wild grass in a flash when it saw its companion had been killed. Although Jiang Cheng was unwilling, he did not dare to chase after it. He hurriedly went to check on Tong Xiaorou's condition.

"Brother-in-law…" Yaya, who was pinned down by Tong Xiaorou, cried out difficultly.

"We're fine." Tong Xiaorou's face turned pale as she got up. She looked at Liang Xin, who had stopped moving with mixed feelings, "She seems alive."

Seeing that the two girls were safe and sound, Jiang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. He did not immediately check on Liang Xin's condition. Instead, Jiang Cheng cautiously released his perception and tried his best to sense his surroundings. After confirming there was no danger, he brought the two girls to Liang Xin's side.

Jiang Cheng did not dare to let the two girls leave his sight at all because the evolved mantises were there. The creature-like mantises actually knew how to cooperate. One was to attract his attention, while the other was to launch a sneak attack. It was too sinister!

Liang Xin was unconscious and was like a skeleton on the ground, but her body had no injuries. There was only a clear white mark on her neck.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Cheng was bewildered. He reached out to touch Liang Xin's neck and found her skin was unbelievably tough. At this moment, Liang Xin's HP bar flickered. Then, she slowly woke up under Jiang Cheng's surprised gaze. Jiang Cheng hurriedly took a step back and avoided looking at her body.

Liang Xin's eyes flickered, but she only covered her body subconsciously. Then, she struggled to get up and looked at Jiang Cheng pleadingly, "Sir, I'm useful. I can help to ward them off from the attack."

Jiang Cheng was vigilant of his surroundings as he scrutinized Liang Xin, "Tell me about your situation. You don't look like an Evolver."

Liang Xin hesitated for a while before answering, "I'm indeed not an Evolver, or I should say I failed to evolve."

"Failed to evolve?" Jiang Cheng showed a doubtful expression, "I heard that if you fail to evolve, you will become a mutant. However, mutants are powerful too. You don't look powerful in your current state. "

Liang Xin said self-mockingly, "Originally, I had the chance to evolve, but evolution requires a lot of food. I didn't have any food at that time, so my evolution failed. After failure, the body would mutate. However, the mutation also required a large amount of food. I heard other mutants lose their rationality and devour the people around them before they successfully mutate. I failed to mutate because I didn't lose my mind back then."

Jiang Cheng was speechless. Evolution failed because there was no food, and the body mutated due to the failure in evolution. However, the mutation also required a large amount of food. Thus, the mutation failed too. It made sense and followed the law of conservation of energy. However, this was really unfortunate.

Jiang Cheng could not help but think of himself, 'I was also at my hungriest back then, but I didn't feel like I would ever fail. Oh! My situation was different. I began to evolve ever since the activation of my level. I considered a quasi-evolver before I killed the wild wolves. It might be the difference between other Evolvers and me. Other people's evolution might be an instant increase in strength, which would definitely require a large amount of food.

'However, I was different. I unlocked the shackles of my genes and could slowly train my strength later. However, Liang Xin was indeed amazing. She could actually maintain her rationality during the mutation process. She then survived after the failure of mutation. It was really her fate!'

"Can you recover from your condition? For example, replenishing food now?" Jiang Cheng could not help but ask. It would be better if he had an Evolver by his side.

However, Liang Xin did not take the opportunity to trick for food. She shook her head and said, "My situation happened two years ago. During that time, I had actually eaten my fill. Previously, you gave me the mysterious roasted meat along with the remains of flesh and blood actually made me full, but it had no effect.'

'Alright. It seemed that the failure of the mutation was irreversible,' Jiang Cheng was a little disappointed.
