Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 986: Chapter 379: Sealing Rune and Investigation Rune

Half a day later, on the Golden Armor Warship, Liang Yuan stood at the bow.

Lin Wu, Qin Zihang, and Qiu Yingyue were standing beside him, Han Xiangman was standing next to Liang Yuan.

Meng Qin knelt on the ground, begging bitterly, ”Mr. Liang, I truly wish to seek your protection, I am willing to do anything.”

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, and said, ”Are you willing to betray the Spiritual Ability Sect?”

Meng Qin immediately pleaded, ”With the Blood Locust inside me, I can’t violate the oath I made when I joined the Spiritual Ability Sect. But as long as I’m not within the sect’s territory, I can wholeheartedly serve you. Please believe me, you must believe me.”

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, ”Then I’ll spare your life for now.”

”Thank you, thank you, Mr. Liang.” Meng Qin kowtowed desperately, he really did not want to die.

Finally awakening to become a Superpower User, how could he just die like this?

”Lin Wu, take him below deck.”

Lin Wu hesitated for a moment at the words and looked at Qiu Yingyue.

Qiu Yingyue frowned and said, ”I said, as long as we’re on this ship, everything should be decided by Mr. Liang.”

Lin Wu quickly nodded, ”Understood, Qiu... Mr. Liang.”

He quickly took Meng Qin away, Qiu Yingyue looked at Liang Yuan, could not help but ask, ”Why are you keeping this beast from the Spiritual Ability Sect?”

Liang Yuan did not look at him but gazed at the boundless water surface, saying, ”I will have to deal with the forces from Guangfu sooner or later, I might even have to go to Guangfu personally.”

”It’s always better to have someone who knows the ins and outs to lead the way.”

”Aren’t you afraid he’ll betray you? He’s controlled by some Blood Locust inside, he will not betray the Spiritual Ability Sect.” Qiu Yingyue asked.

Liang Yuan: ”It’s fine, I’m not going to Guangfu yet, there are many rune mechanisms and rune equipment weapons on this ship that need knowledgeable people to teach us, he is still useful.”

”Then why not keep that guy named Chu Mountain?” Qiu Yingyue asked, puzzled.

Liang Yuan smiled and did not answer.

Of course, he did not tell her that those people had accidentally been burned to death by Blood Flame while he was researching the Blood Locust inside them.

Liang Yuan had extracted quite a bit of information from them about the Golden Armor Warship, as well as important information like Sealing Runes.

Then he exhausted the last value of those people, researched their Blood Locust and Blood Bottle, and eventually they were burned to death by Blood Flame.

”How far is it from here to Mist City?”

”About three days’ time.” Qiu Yingyue replied.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, ”Pay attention to the route, Xiangman, come with me.”

Saying that, he turned and headed to the captain’s room.

Han Xiangman followed him back to the captain’s room, Liang Yuan spread out his Spiritual Power, setting up a Spirit Barrier to prevent eavesdropping.

Then he took out a Defense Map and said, ”According to what Chu Mountain told me, this is the weapon defense map of the Golden Armor Warship, among which the watchtower side has a Sealing Arrow Array, which is the most central.”

Han Xiangman was puzzled: ”What is a Sealing Arrow Array?”

”A kind of grand array that can seal superpowers, triggered through arrows; once exploded, it will form a Superpower Silence Zone within a specific range.”

Liang Yuan explained briefly, this Sealing Arrow Array was just like the Sealing Array he had been trapped in before.

At that time, such a wide Sealing Zone couldn’t be resolved with just one Sealing Rune, but instead was triggered by arrows exploding to form a complete Sealing Array, hence the extensive coverage.

Han Xiangman was astonished on her face: ”There’s such a rune? How is that possible?”

Liang Yuan sighed, saying, ”The world is vast, full of wonders, the appearance of superpowers brought about unexpected superpowers that can seal the flow of abilities.”

”I asked that guy named Chu Mountain, this kind of Sealing Rune comes from a plant called [Sealing Energy Algae].”

”Underwater near Guangfu has such algae zones, referred to by locals as Silence Zones, a forbidden land for superpower users.”

Han Xiangman’s beautiful face was filled with shock, she could hardly imagine what kind of area that was.

”Can’t this Sealing Rune be cracked?” Han Xiangman couldn’t help but ask.

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: ”Strictly speaking, this is also a kind of superpower, unless a superpower user’s strength far exceeds the level that the Sealing Rune can seal, they will definitely be affected.”

”And phenomena like Sealing Energy Algae, as a regional sealing phenomenon, no individual can withstand such regional prohibitions regardless of strength.”

After interrogating Chu Mountain and others, Liang Yuan had already understood the origin of the Sealing Rune.

Moreover, the Sealing Rune is also extensively used in various weapons in the Guangfu area.

Common Sealing Arrows, Sealing Sabers, Sealing Guns, and more complex and advanced ones were Sealing Array Weapons formed by Sealing Rune combinations.

The appearance of Sealed Energy Weapons allows ordinary people to threaten superpower users, so in Guangfu, superpower users are not as arrogant as in other places.

After all, no one can guarantee whether an ordinary person might pull out a Sealed Energy Weapon.

In addition, the military has already produced sealing firearms.

It is precisely because of these sealing firearms that the military can establish a transcendent status in Guangfu.

”Can we replicate these Sealing Runes in Yangshan?”

Han Xiangman paused for a moment, suddenly asked an important question.

These weapons are already considered strategic weapons, if Yangshan cannot produce such weapons, how can they face these terrible opponents in the future?

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, sighed, ”Replicating runes is not difficult, the challenge is driving these runes, which requires Superpower Stones.”

Saying that, Liang Yuan took out a pink Superpower Stone.

Han Xiangman looked at it, surprised, ”What type of Superpower Stone is this...?”

Even she had never seen such a color of Superpower Stone.

Liang Yuan also showed a look of emotion and said, ”The people of Guangfu call it the Sealing Energy Stone, but Chu Mountain says that strictly speaking, it should be called the Red Algae Stone.”

”According to attribute classification, it belongs to the Life Attribute Superpower Stone.”

”This thing is widely found in algae regions, over by Yangshan, I haven’t discovered this type of Superpower Stone yet.”

”Of course, it might also be because we haven’t checked underwater yet.”

”According to Chu Mountain, places where the Red Algae Stone appears generally also have Sealing Energy Algae and typically Silent Zones as well.”

”So, mining this Red Algae Stone is very difficult, highly valuable, and very expensive.”

”And if you don’t use the Red Algae Stone to power the Sealing Rune, you need a Strength Attribute Superpower User or a Qi Blood Physique Attribute Superpower User to drive it.”

”These two types of Superpower Users generally have strong life forces and can activate the power of the Sealing Rune.”

Han Xiangman, after listening, truly felt the world was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

Superpowers had appeared, and now these strange runes for sealing superpowers had also emerged.

What have the underwater creatures mutated into?

Liang Yuan waited for her to digest this, then said, ”The bows and arrows on the ship’s tower are Sealing Array Weapons, and can be considered strategic weapons on the Golden Armor Warship, so you need to pay attention.”

Han Xiangman quickly nodded and then asked, ”Do you really trust using Qiu Yingyue’s people?”

Liang Yuan chuckled and said, ”It’s fine. Qiu Yingyue, Lin Wu, and Qin Zihang, I have already prepared a backup plan for them; they pose no threat to us.”

Han Xiangman, hearing this, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although she didn’t know what Liang Yuan’s backup plan was, since Liang Yuan was already cautious, she felt at ease.

In fact, Liang Yuan had long planted Parasite Species within the three of them.

Even if these three used Sealing Energy Weapons against him, once the Parasite Species were out of his control, they would immediately grow, causing these people to die violently.

So Liang Yuan did not worry about them betraying him.

Then Liang Yuan took out a lens and handed it to Han Xiangman.

Han Xiangman was taken aback, curiously accepted the lens, and asked, ”What is this?”

”Investigation Device, the lens is made of Attributeless Superpower Stone slices, engraved with Investigation Runes.”

”The Investigation Runes can detect the abnormal energy level of targets within the observation range and estimate the target’s approximate strength based on their abnormal energy level.”

”Note, this strength considers only the highest attribute among the Four Major Attributes.”

Han Xiangman was astonished, not expecting such equipment to exist.

She instinctively picked up the lens and then put it on her eyes, looking at Liang Yuan.

”Beep——”

In an instant, the lens emitted an alarm sound, startling Han Xiangman, and she quickly took it off.

Liang Yuan chuckled and said, ”It can currently only detect the strength of Superpower Users with attributes below 50 Points. Those with attributes over 50 Points have an energy level too high to be detected by it.”

Han Xiangman paused briefly, then realized and exclaimed in surprise, ”You have an attribute that exceeds 50 Points among the Four Major Attributes?”

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded, saying, ”That’s right, this thing is quite useful. When we explore Mist City later, it should be very helpful.”

”Currently, I’ve collected more than a dozen sets and am giving you one set.”

”Thank you.” Han Xiangman responded, breaking into a smile, sincerely expressing her gratitude.

This thing can immediately detect the opponent’s strength and is surely very useful in battle.

She curiously asked, ”Is this Investigation Rune also unique to Guangfu?”

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: ”This kind of Investigation Rune comes from a mutated organism known as the Clownfish.”

”This Clownfish is not large in size, and its mutation level is not high, being considered one of the most common mutant fish.”

”Furthermore, Clownfish are very timid. I speculate that this organism evolved this special ability to adapt to the Great Flood.”

”After all, the weaker an organism is, the more it needs eyes that can clearly see the situation.”

Han Xiangman nodded, quite agreeing with Liang Yuan’s speculation.

”Snakes have their way, and rats have their way, all creatures are evolving, seeking ways to survive.”

”If on the path of evolution one cannot compete with other creatures, having the ability to avoid danger is also a good evolutionary direction.”

Liang Yuan also nodded and said, ”I can feel that the diversity of underwater species far exceeds that of land-dwelling creatures.”

”I’m afraid those mutant beasts underwater have long evolved various strange abilities that far surpass ours on land.”

Upon hearing this, Han Xiangman said, ”Yes, in this era of biological explosion, various abilities are flourishing splendidly.”

”But there’s no need to worry too much, for we humans are best at not just evolving but learning.”

”Look, those mutant beasts, although with various strange evolved abilities, can still be used by us, right?”

Liang Yuan, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but smile, reflecting, ”Yes, on the road of evolution, humanity’s greatest challenge is still ourselves.”

”With our level of human intelligence, it’s only a matter of time before we surpass other creatures.”

The two talked a while longer, and Liang Yuan said, ”In the coming days, I should rarely go out. I need time to fully research the Sealing Rune and Investigation Rune.”

”I’ll strive to master these two Rune Technologies before entering Mist City.”

”For now, I’ll leave the outside affairs to you.”

Han Xiangman, hearing this, immediately nodded, saying, ”Rest assured, leave everything to me.”
