Chapter 355: The Scene!
Chapter 355: The Scene!
Zhang Yan heard it too.
Very low.
Very heavy.
It wasn't the distorted noise of a humanoid familiar.
More like a large wild beast.
He turned off the White Tiger's external firepower mode, keeping only its melee attack.
The mecha's excessively strong energy reaction might have triggered the A-rank mecha in the main hall to go berserk prematurely.
Zhang Yan walked up the stone steps.
The inside of the main hall is darker than the outside.
The Buddha statue on the wall was half broken, and the floor was covered with claw marks.
Two infected individuals lay in a corner, showing no signs of life.
Zhang Yan didn't look at it for too long.
His gaze fell on the center of the main hall.
There's a tiger lying there.
Or rather, it used to be a tiger.
It was nearly six meters tall at the shoulder, its body was abnormally swollen, its fur was purplish-black and rotting, bone spurs protruded from its spine, and its eye sockets glowed with a scarlet light.
Grade A-
A giant, mutated tiger-like creature.
A system evaluation pop-up appears.
Target strength: A-.
Physical burst: High.
Ruin energy concentration: High.
It can be purified.
Zhang Yan stood at the door, not daring to go in rashly.
The tiger-shaped pollutant raised its head.
It didn't pounce immediately.
The crimson gaze fell on Zhang Yan, then slowly moved downwards.
It landed in his left hand.
More precisely, it is the location of the heart of nature's craftsmanship.
Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes.
That's not right.
When ordinary family members see the Heart of Heaven, their first reaction is to attack or flee.
It seemed to be confirming something.
The tiger-shaped pollutant emitted a low growl from its throat.
It's not a shout.
It's more like a kind of resonance.
The Heart of Heaven's Craftsmanship is slightly warm.
Zhang Yan gripped his left hand tightly.
The system prompts you to refresh.
The target senses and responds to the energy of the Heavenly Craftsmanship.
The behavior pattern deviates from standard attack logic.
Careful evaluation is recommended.
Ang Tun's voice came through the headphones.
"Zhang Yan?"
"Don't come in."
"It didn't move."
"I saw it."
Zhang Yan slowly took a step forward.
The tiger-shaped contaminant also moved.
But not a poaching attack.
It took a step back.
The floor of the main hall was cracked by its huge claws.
Zhang Yan stopped.
It stopped too.
This is not a normal family relationship.
A judgment flashed through Zhang Yan's mind.
It's not that it doesn't want to attack.
Something is suppressing its attack.
Residual consciousness?
Xuanwu, which existed 30,000 years ago, also possessed a core will to resist pollution.
Do animals have it?
As if responding to his judgment, the system quickly popped up a secondary analysis.
The target's body contains extremely faint remnants of its own consciousness.
The proportion is less than 3%.
Zhang Yan looked at the giant tiger.
Less than 3%.
But it was that 3% that prevented it from attacking immediately.
It is observing the heart of nature's craftsmanship.
It knew this thing could end the pain.
Zhang Yan parked the white tiger outside the palace.
"Stand by."
The white tiger lowered its body and did not enter the hall.
Zhang Yan walked forward alone.
The tiger-shaped pollutant's voice became even louder in its throat.
It is moving backward.
When they reached the remains of the Buddha statue, there was nowhere left to retreat.
Zhang Yan stopped 20 meters away from it.
A-level bursts have a very short range.
Twenty meters is practically face-to-face for it.
But Zhang Yan did not start a war.
He looked at it.
"You want me to come over?"
The tiger-shaped contaminant couldn't understand.
But its head was lowered a little.
The spirit of craftsmanship is ignited once again.
The system message indicated an extra line.
An executable consciousness contact has been detected.
Function Description: Can receive fragments of residual will before purification.
Risk: Low.
After reading it, Zhang Yan immediately put it into use.
He needs to know what this 3% remaining will actually is.
If it's just pain, he'll end it.
If there's still a chance to save him, he'll give it a try.
The blue and white light of the Heavenly Craftsmanship is pressed to an extremely fine level.
Zhang Yan continued to approach.
Fifteen meters.
ten meters.
five meters.
The tiger-shaped pollutant's muscles tensed, and its spinal spikes opened.
It could get out of control at any time.
Zhang Yan did not stop.
He raised his left hand.
"Don't move."
The tiger-shaped contaminant let out a low growl from its throat.
But it really didn't move.
Zhang Yan placed the Heart of Heaven's Craftsmanship an inch in front of its forehead.
The blue and white light connects.
The next second, fragmented images flooded my mind.
riverside.
An adult tiger lowers its head to drink water.
Two cubs were playing nearby.
The wind is hot.
Then darkness.
Tingling.
Iron chain.
Black water.
Then came the endless pain.
The video cut off in less than two seconds.
Zhang Yan opened his eyes.
He looked at the enormous pollutant in front of him.
It did not become a family member voluntarily.
It was captured, fed contaminated food, and turned into the core of a stronghold.
Like that family member in Shanghai whose chains were used as batteries.
The market will cause pollution.
Humans can also tame pollution.
A hint of coldness flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes.
He truly affixed the Heart of Heaven to the forehead of the tiger-shaped contaminated body.
Hang in there.
No one heard those two words.
Ang Tun outside the palace could not hear.
The system also has no record of this.
Purification initiated.
The tiger-shaped contaminant went out of control the moment the purification process started.
It's not that it wants to rebel.
It's the internal energy of the void retaliating.
The massive tiger arched its body suddenly, its bone spurs opening one by one, and scarlet energy surged from the cracks in its fur, biting back at Zhang Yan's wrist.
Zhang Yan did not let go.
The Thousand-Arm Spear popped out from behind him, and the four mechanical arms simultaneously sank into the ground, locking his body in place.
The core of the universe is operating at full power.
Blue and white light pressed down from the tiger-shaped pollutant's forehead.
The scarlet energy began to be stripped away.
high speed.
But it's unstable.
A-grade energy cores are far more complex than B-grade ones, not to mention the 3% of residual will within them.
If the normal purification process is followed, it can be cleaned within twenty seconds.
The price is that the original consciousness is also erased.
Zhang Yan didn't want to do that.
If you can save seven villagers, you can try to save a tiger.
This is not some kind of saintly figure.
Since we've seen it and it's still begging, we might as well lend a hand.
Zhang Yan divided the purification pulse into two layers.
Outer layer of cleansing energy.
The inner layer avoids the remaining will.
The system immediately displayed a warning.
The operational precision requirements are too high.
We recommend switching to the standard purification process.
Zhang Yan ignored him.
The 1000-arm assisted in stabilization.
The fitting point of the "Heart of Nature" remains unchanged.
The tiger-shaped pollutant's claws scraped deep grooves in the ground, and its tail swept away a nearby stone pillar.
The entire main hall began to shed dust.
Outside the hall, Ang Tun's voice could not be suppressed.
"It's going to collapse."
"Don't come in."
Zhang Yan replied, continuing to suppress his anger.
The white tiger raised its paw outside the hall to block a stone beam that was about to fall towards the entrance.
The energy conflict within is intensifying.
The tiger-shaped contaminant suddenly opened its mouth and lunged at Zhang Yan.
This is the instinctive counterattack of the void energy.
Zhang Yan did not dodge.
The thousand-armed machine was positioned horizontally in front, pressing hard against the upper jaw.
The immense biting force caused the robotic arm to emit a screeching friction sound.
Zhang Yan's left hand was still pressing on its forehead.
The ninth second.
The scarlet light receded to the neck.
Thirteen seconds.
The spinal spurs began to break.
Seventeen seconds.
The swollen tissue on the tiger-shaped contaminant began to shrink.
Zhang Yan saw that remaining will.
Very small.
Like a fire that could be extinguished at any moment.
