Chapter 444: Chapter 383: I’m Not an Unreasonable Person
"Even from such a distance, and in complete darkness, you can see the target?"
Facing Phoenix Mountain’s inquiry, Li Zheng chuckled with calm disdain, "What’s the big deal? I’ve got more tricks up my sleeve than you can imagine."
"If it weren’t for accommodating you all, I wouldn’t even need to pull out the lantern!"
"Really?" Phoenix Mountain was skeptical. Was Li Zheng truly that strong, constantly improving?
This means, seem truly endless.
Li Zheng no longer paid attention to Phoenix Mountain and instead looked toward where the incendiary bomb was headed.
Yan Guang’s control over the distance was incredibly precise. Even in total darkness ahead, he could use experience to control the missile’s landing point.
Boom!
As the first incendiary bomb exploded, a large area of flame mixed with fuel scattered, illuminating the area.
Only then did everyone clearly see that this challenge’s mutant turned out to be a gigantic house pig the size of a mountain.
The gigantic pig, startled by the explosion, was still in a daze and had not reacted when it was overwhelmed by dozens of remaining missiles, completely immersed in a sea of fire.
"Squeal!!"
The gigantic pig roared in fury, getting up with a ground-shaking motion.
A huge pig head scanned around and saw the small area illuminated by the Mysterious Declaration.
Instantly, its enormous pig eyes filled with blood, raging furiously.
"My turn now."
Li Zheng stepped forward, raised his right hand to his ear, thumb and middle finger together, and rubbed lightly.
"Snap!"
A crisp snap echoed in the space.
The awakened white-skinned pig was raging.
The next moment.
An even more thunderous sound resounded, lighting up the entire challenge space, blazingly intense.
"See, what did I say? If it weren’t for accommodating you all, I wouldn’t even need to hold a lantern." Li Zheng stood his ground, letting the mountain-splitting shockwave pass by him, remaining unmoved.
He relied on the Earth Dragon Armor and his own physique to withstand the shockwave coming from forty meters away, with the shield wide open, countless pieces of meat and blood splattering against it, falling to the ground.
Behind him, everyone lined up, using him as a shield, hiding thoroughly.
Xiao Ying was completely wrapped in pink Poli, looking somewhat perplexed.
It was in the best condition among them all, as many factors were blocked by the pink Poli.
Ten minutes later.
Everyone once again gathered around the Mysterious Declaration, silently.
After a while, Li Zheng suddenly snapped his fingers, scaring Phoenix Mountain into jumping behind him.
"What are you doing?" Li Zheng looked at Phoenix Mountain with frustration, he just snapped his fingers to test if his hearing had recovered, why such a big reaction?
And you, being a big man, your first reaction is to jump behind another man?
Damn!
Li Zheng’s expression shifted, could this guy be... into men?
Hiss~~
Li Zheng took a deep breath, it’s not impossible, Yan Guang has been chasing him for so many days, not only did he not succeed, but now they had a falling out and weren’t speaking a word.
Even though Yan Guang doesn’t exactly compare to a top beauty like Zhan Zhouzhou, her looks are not bad, especially her wild charm.
Any other man would have been drained dry if chased like this.
Only Phoenix Mountain, making one wonder if he’s not into women, which might just be the case...
"Isn’t it you always using that explosive ability, constantly startling me, giving me PTSD? I get scared every time you snap your fingers." Phoenix Mountain was a bit embarrassed, returning to his seat.
PTSD?
It’s not that bad...
Li Zheng felt that every time he used his explosive ability, there was an inexplicable thrill as if the fire and the loud noise generated by the explosion could release some pent-up anger.
Especially since there’s still "Wrath" suppressed inside him, even with the Emotion Balance Bracelet, "Wrath" is constantly affecting him.
Only when the emotion is affected to a certain threshold will the bracelet trigger and help him return to balance.
So ever since acquiring the "Explosive" ability, Li Zheng felt his mood has significantly improved.
"Saying it’s PTSD is a bit much." Zhan Zhouzhou interjected, saying, "But your ability is indeed a bit bothersome, in such confined space, using it once makes us deaf each time."
"Honestly, if our physique wasn’t beyond ordinary, we would have been shocked to death by now."
Phoenix Mountain and Zhan Zhouzhou both voiced dissatisfaction, Yan Guang showed a long face, also exuding dissatisfaction, and Li Zheng turned to ask Lin Fengjiao, "Is that so?"
"Huh?"
Lin Fengjiao looked puzzled, took out a cochlear implant from the capsule and put it on, "Did Brother Li just speak to me?"
Li Zheng: "..."
Why does it feel like the biggest blow he received was from Lin Fengjiao?
Is this ability really that terrifying?
Apart from being loud, everything else is a plus.
Powerful, bright, and the shockwave from the explosion can easily start a blood rain.
That blood rain is beautiful... Wait!
Li Zheng’s eyelid twitched, since when did he find a sky full of blood rain beautiful?
Recalling the sight of blood and flesh falling from the sky, Li Zheng felt a sense of satisfaction rising from deep within.
This mentality is completely abnormal!
"Alright, unless absolutely necessary, I won’t use this ability in the future." Li Zheng sighed, knowing he had psychological issues, most likely with Wrath subtly influencing him.
Unexpectedly, the Seven Deadly Sins are far more persistent than understood, even with the Emotion Balance Bracelet, the impact still lingered causing this subtle change without him noticing.
He thought it over, edited his findings into a text, and sent it to Liu Qi Shao, urging him to pay attention and resolve Kunlun’s internal dangers as soon as possible.
Liu Qi Shao quickly replied, "Thank you for the timely reminder, we have a warrior who discovered a special merchant on channel 0974586, specializing in selling tools to suppress various negative emotions."
"Originally, we thought acquiring the appropriate tool would ensure peace of mind. Now it seems we still have to find a cure."
To find a cure, Li Zheng actually knew contact methods.
The function of Star Thief is not just to assign players by name; even special entities can be located near coordinates through Star Thief.
With enough effort, finding the doctor again is a cinch.
However, with suppression tools, the Seven Deadly Sins can also become an aid in training Spiritual Power, so Kunlun isn’t urgent to cure for now.
As for himself, there’s even less urgency.
Just a small side effect, as long as he’s aware, he can just pay attention in the future.
"Actually...we’re not unreasonable folks, right?" Phoenix Mountain pondered. If Li Zheng truly stops using this ability, combat effectiveness might drop significantly, and fighting mutants could become much harder.
"How about this, later on, let’s everyone connect and see if we can find noise-canceling earplugs to solve this only drawback."
Phoenix Mountain had long scoured the trading hall, failing to find any noise-canceling earplugs but did trade for a so-called noise-canceling headset.
It turned out to be a music headset requiring an electronic connection to work, and its noise-canceling effect was mediocre.
At least it couldn’t block a nuclear explosion’s roar.
