Chapter 286 Pleading and Coercion
The red lotus bloomed in the fire pool, and the flames in the lotus spurted out and turned into waves, rising into the sky, forming pillars of fire that scattered the surrounding figures.
As the saying goes: The red lotus blooms and the fire surges. This technique is exactly Chao Ren's miraculous technique of Karmic Fire: Red Lotuses Everywhere!
Chen An's phantom body was scattered by the pillar of fire, and his figure emerged from the storm. Looking at the hundreds of flame pillars of karma that enveloped him and the red lotus blooming in the ground beneath his feet, the madness in his eyes was suppressed.
"Haha, what a red lotus everywhere. Xiao Anzi, you lost this time."
At this time, Wu Ze's voice sounded from the Red Lotus Hell, directly determining the outcome of this competition.
"Hmph! Wu Ze, I haven't lost yet." Chen An said unhappily.
"Okay, don't hold on. Just because the Tide Blade can silently activate the source skill during your attack without being discovered by you, you lose."
"If there is a fight between life and death and the red lotus is in full bloom, you will be surrounded by thousands of fire pillars and burned to death. In addition, the red lotus will be immortal for life and death. If you are in this red lotus, you will be killed. Already lost."
As Wu Ze finished speaking, Chen An was moved away from the Red Lotus Flame Pillar by a force.
Then, a ray of red light fell, thousands of red lotuses bloomed, and an area of a hundred feet in radius instantly turned into a field of fire.
In the fire domain, every time a flame falls to the ground, a red lotus will bloom. Under this situation, even if Chen An doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit that he can't stop such raging flames.
"You see, this is the scene where this trick fully blossoms. Do you think you can survive it?"
Wu Ze's voice sounded again, and this time Chen An did not refute, just hummed softly and put away the power of the storm surrounding him.
Chen An stopped and the sparring ended. After a flash of red light, Chao Lian, Chao Ren, and Chen An were taken out of the Red Lotus Hell by Wu Ze.
No matter how unhappy Chen An is now, he also knows that if his skills are not as good as others, don't blame others and just work harder in the future.
"Hmph! I lost this time, but after I also learn the 'Source Power Control Technique', I will never lose to you." Chen An said towards the tide.
"Okay, let's have another fight then."
Chao Ren nodded slightly, but he felt a cold sweat in his heart.
Although he won this time, don't forget that he is a fourth-level source awakener, far above Chen An. If he were to fight Chen An with the same level of cultivation, whether he could suppress Chen An had to be said separately.
After saying hello, Chen An crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, recalling the battle just now in his mind.
Soon after, everyone in the room woke up one after another, and their practice ended.
"It turns out that Yuanli can still play like this!"
Liu Heizi couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the orange flames that were constantly flowing on his hands.
The other three people were also overjoyed. After practicing Wu Ze's source power control technique, they realized that the source power could be so arbitrary.
The four of them felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
Not only the four of them, but Jiang Rong and others in Liu Ju's community a thousand meters away were also immersed in the joy of the 'Source Power Control Technique'.
With this 'Source Power Control Technique', it becomes very easy for them to control their own source power.
Not to mention anything else, it's just that the release speed and control strength of this natal source skill have directly risen to a higher level.
In the past, it took them several seconds to release their natal source skills, but now, from condensation to release, it can be completed within one second;
In the past, the original source skills they released were very rigid, but now, they have begun to control the original power and change its power to the extent they want.
Time flew by, and a day passed in their joy. As night fell, Fang Qian's voice came again from outside Wu Ze's room door.
"Wu Ze, it's been a day since you've been here. Do you want to come out and have something to eat? By the way, if I need anything, I'll see you."
"I'm coming."
After the voice fell, Wu Ze led everyone out of the room, and then under the leadership of Fang Qian, the group came to the cafeteria of the women's department.
Here, ordinary people under the protection of the Women's Department gathered together in twos and threes and received the small amount of food distributed to them in an orderly manner.
Wu Ze entered here and glanced in all directions. Looking at the sallow and thin people around him, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
He saw that everyone here only had a bowl of water and a steamed bun in their hands, and this was their food for this meal.
"Are you running out of food here?"
Wu Ze casually asked Fang Qian beside him.
"Yes. There is indeed not much. More than half of the food in the entire college is in the canteen warehouse controlled by Tang Tian, and the food we have obtained has almost been consumed in these days."
Fang Qian replied truthfully. There was also a look of embarrassment on her face. It wasn't that they didn't want to give everyone more food, but that they had already tried their best.
Thousands of people are waiting for them to eat. Even if they have many awakened people, there is not much food that can be collected around Zhenhai College.
After hearing this, Wu Ze and others silently walked to the second floor of the cafeteria and entered a single room.
As soon as they entered the door, they smelled the aroma of rice. In this single room, a table of sumptuous meals was steaming, and Wu Xueruo, Mi Qiyue and others were among them.
"Wu Ze is here, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
Wu Xueruo stood up and greeted Wu Ze.
Wu Ze and others sat down, and regardless of anything else, they greeted Wu Xueruo politely and began to enjoy the table full of delicious food.
Don't talk about whether he can eat or not, and don't talk about the contrast. When Wu Ze was hungry, no one gave him a bowl of rice, and no one was unable to eat because of him.
'While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone. ’ But Wu Ze has no such burden in his heart.
After having enough wine and food, everyone put down their chopsticks. Wu Ze had no objection to the table full of delicacies, let alone others.
But Chen An and the others were secretly rejoicing. If Wu Ze hadn't brought so much food from the Divine Grace Continent, it would be their turn to be in trouble now.
"I heard that you are looking for me for something? What is it? Is it something related to food?" Wu Ze asked.
"Yes, you can see it all." Wu Ruoxue sighed.
"Nonsense, I'm not stupid. You put the dining area here specifically, didn't you just want me to see the people outside?" Wu Ze rolled his eyes at Wu Ruoxue and said.
"Then Wu Ze, do you have any good ideas that can help us?" Wu Ruoxue said at the right moment.
"You want me to go to Tang Tian to ask for some food, right?"
Wu Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wu Xueruo. Wu Xueruo was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"You have guessed this. But instead of buying it, we can use source crystals to buy it." Wu Xueruo said weakly.
She didn't have any confidence in this matter, because she knew that this request was not a good thing.
Food can sometimes save lives, but not necessarily Source Crystal.
"I didn't guess, you told me. Fang Qian mentioned it to me before coming here. She told me that Zhenhai College's food warehouse is in Tang Tian's hands. Didn't she just want me to talk?"
Wu Ze spoke slowly, his voice neither angry nor angry. Others couldn't tell whether it was a sarcastic question or a normal question, but they always felt that the words were offensive.
When Chen An, Sixth Uncle, Sixth Aunt, and Liu Heizi heard this, a look of obvious displeasure flashed across their faces.
Originally they thought this was an ordinary meal, but now it seems that this is simply a different kind of Hongmen Banquet.
This kind of calculating method is really unpleasant.
…
At the same time, in the canteen warehouse under the jurisdiction of Haotianzhong.
Creak, creak, creak...
"Huh? Did you hear anything?"
"Shh~ stop, listen..."
"I'll go! It's coming from inside, someone is eavesdropping!"
The members of Haotian who were patrolling outside heard the sound in the warehouse, and immediately opened the door with anger on their faces.
You know, this is their food depot and is their top priority. And now, someone actually disobeys their instructions and comes here to steal food? !
Could it be that they are not good to others?
Thinking that the food they had worked so hard to find was wasted by others, the Haotian people patrolling outside became angry.
With a bang, the door was opened, but Haohao Zhong did not find any suspicious persons.
"No? How come there is no one?"
A Haotian member looked around and found no one in the warehouse.
"Look, the grandson is hiding," someone reminded.
"Well, let's look for it. Don't let me know who that grandson is, otherwise I will never spare him!"
The patrol captain was furious. This warehouse was under his jurisdiction. If someone came here to steal food, it would be a slap in his face.
Once he finds it, he will definitely teach him a profound lesson.
Leaving two people to block the door, the other eight people from the patrol team began to search the warehouse.
A few minutes later, everyone gathered together with a look of confusion on their faces. That person, they even walked around the entire warehouse without finding any trace of him.
"No, did we hear wrongly?" Someone began to feel unconfident and questioned softly.
"No, it shouldn't be. If only you heard it wrong, wouldn't it be possible for all of us to hear it wrong?" someone retorted.
"Then what's going on now? Aren't ordinary people eating secretly?" someone questioned.
"It's impossible. We don't treat those who are awakened by the origin any wrong. Only ordinary people will not have enough to eat. Who knows how to steal food can only be ordinary people."
"If they are origin awakeners, they don't have to do this."
The captain shook his head and rejected the third person's question.
"But, if you are not the awakened person, how can you escape from us and enter here?" The third person continued to question.
"How do I know this? Stop talking nonsense and look for more."
The captain glared at the man, and with an order, the eight people started wandering around the warehouse again.
Slowly, about five minutes passed, and the eight people still found nothing.
"Did we really hear wrongly?"
There was a hint of doubt on the captain's face. They didn't find the figure, and they didn't even find any residue of the eaten food.
But to be on the safe side, eight people were screened a third time.
After the screening, the eight people gathered together again.
"It seems we really heard wrong. No one should be here."
The captain breathed a sigh of relief.
No one, which means they have not neglected their duties, and in this case they can be exempted from punishment.
"Well, we probably heard wrong."
"Yes, the captain is right, we heard wrong."
"Let me tell you, any ordinary person who can avoid our sight and enter the warehouse guarded by us is definitely..."
But before this person could finish speaking, suddenly, a black shadow sprang out from the side and rushed towards the eight people!
"I'm going! Captain, be careful!"
A scream came from the mouths of the two people at the door. The captain turned around suddenly and saw a one-meter-sized black mouse waving its claws towards him.
"I'll go, you ghost!"
Facing the black mouse's attack, the captain raised his hand, and the lightning flashed and moved. Several lightning arcs converged in his hand, and he punched out hard, hitting the black mouse on the head.
boom!
The mouse was knocked away and fell to the ground, with streaks of lightning running across its body, and it fainted immediately after looking at it.
"I'll go, what a big rat!"
After the attack, everyone reacted and looked at the giant thing in front of them, and couldn't help but express a kind of surprise.
Rats are very common, but this meter-sized rat is definitely the first time I have seen it.
"Captain, come and look here, there is a big mouse hole here."
The sound came, but it was an alert person who immediately rushed to the place where the mouse was attacking.
This didn't matter, but amid the accumulation of food, a deep cave entrance the size of a meter appeared in front of their eyes.
"Isn't it? Could it be that this is a nest of rats?" Someone asked subconsciously when they saw the bottomless hole.
"Hmph! No matter what, since it's a mouse hole, let's just block it."
Having said that, the Earth Element Awakener in the team used his Origin Skill to directly block the entrance of the cave.
After doing all this, the captain was afraid that there would be other rat holes like this, so he led seven people to search through the entire warehouse. Then he safely picked up the black rat and closed the door.
The captain will report this matter to Li Siye and others as soon as possible. The appearance of rats also made the captain realize that in today's world, they must not only guard against alienation, but also guard against rats.
…
"Aze, I know it's bad for me to do this, but I really have no other choice. So, please, please..."
In the room, feeling the unhappiness on Wu Ze's face, Wu Xueruo clasped his hands together and begged.
Mi Qiyue and others also looked pitiful, pleading with Wu Ze with their eyes.
As long as they still have a way, they will not use this method to coerce Wu Ze.
As a female spectator, the unhappiness on the faces of his sixth uncle and his aunt disappeared. Liu Heizi curled his lips and looked at his daughter beside him. After comparing his feelings, the unhappiness on his face also disappeared.
Only Chen An watched this scene coldly and did not speak, but the expression on his face became more and more unhappy.
"Chaolian, how do you solve the food problem there?"
Under the gazes of the women, Wu Ze remained motionless and just asked casually to the side.
"Go back to the master, in our place, except for the Red Tide clan and the beast clan of my clan, everyone else is edible food. But more food still comes from the weak sentient beings down there."
"Weak people, if they don't want to be eaten, will use the fire rice they grow or other meat in exchange for their own lives."
Chao Lian replied truthfully.
What he said was just a fact, a common thing in the abyss world, but when these words were heard by other people, they still made people shudder.
The abyss is indeed a world where people eat people!
