Chapter 4724 — Electric Shock
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
On reflection, that made sense. Whether it was the smart armor or the laser cannon, both were products of hyper-advanced technology. They could almost be said to represent the highest level of secular-world science. If such things still had such an obvious loophole, that would be far too childish.
"Since I can't get first-hand information, Jingjing can't think of any other way either. For now, it looks like an electric shock is still the most likely countermeasure to work—but it can't be a simple electric shock. We'll have to do some preparatory work first," Han Jingyi said after thinking it over.
"Oh? What preparatory work?" Wei Zhao asked at once.
This and that, and so and so—after Han Jingyi had explained it all over the phone, Wei Zhao's heart was set at ease. He hung up at once, impatient to go try it out on Kang Jingming.
"What on earth is this thing? Is it some kind of secular-world technological product?" Seeing that Wei Zhao seemed ready, Huo Yudie asked一连串 questions from the side.
She had watched Wei Zhao talk a whole stream of words into the thing, and a woman's voice had even drifted faintly out of it—it sounded like Han Jingyi. This was truly marvelous. At that moment her eyes were full of curious little stars, and her heart itched as though a hundred claws were scratching at it. She wished she could snatch it away and study it properly.
"Oh, this is a phone, a very common communication tool in the secular world. You can study it on your own later when you have time." Wei Zhao casually tossed the phone to Huo Yudie. Then, after drawing a deep breath, he carefully re-entered the ring of light of the Five Thunder Tribulation Archway.
Seeing Wei Zhao go in, Huo Yudie was naturally unwilling to be left behind. She promptly stowed the phone Wei Zhao had given her, along with the Thunder Mystic Vine, into her backpack, and tiptoed in after him.
The scene before their eyes shifted, and Wei Zhao and Huo Yudie reappeared one after the other in the narrow passage. Through the string of great holes the laser cannon had blasted out moments before, they could see the innermost situation from where they stood at the entrance: Kang Jingming and Xu Lingchong were just then furiously bent over digging up Thunder Mystic Vine, one plant each, having the time of their lives.
Shh! Wei Zhao made a silencing gesture at Huo Yudie, then his figure flickered. To seize the initiative before the other side could notice and react, he did not hesitate to use the Super-Limit Butterfly Microstep, his whole body like a ghost, closing in on the two men's backs at top speed.
Huo Yudie watched this scene tensely, her heart rising to her throat. She did not know what method Han Jingyi and Wei Zhao had discussed, only that if Wei Zhao failed this time, the two of them would truly be in danger.
Relying on the smart armor and the laser cannon, Kang Jingming was now an invincible human-shaped monster. Unfortunately, this was not his true strength. The moment it came to a field where those two pieces of equipment could not be brought into play, he was immediately beaten back to his original form—spiritual perception, for instance.
Even when Wei Zhao appeared silently behind him, Kang Jingming remained completely unaware. It was Xu Lingchong beside him who was the first to react. Without a word he fled to one side while crying out in terror: "Wei Zhao!"
Only then did Kang Jingming turn pale with fright and belatedly turn around—but by then Wei Zhao was already right before his eyes. (To be continued)
