Hidden Corners

Forever botanical garden.

In the early morning, the cold sunlight obliquely shone on the surfaces of the greenhouses, reflecting a faint golden color.

Li Chengyi gently covered a white chrysanthemum with soil and watered it with nutrient solution.

Now he suddenly understood why the white chrysanthemums were selling so well some time ago.

Because there are too many dead.

No matter how high-sounding Utopia is, no matter how grand the slogan is, it cannot change a fact.

They bring death.

And it is a death that most people do not want to accept.

It would be okay if it was a troubled time, but if a stable country like Yiguo still engages in such terrorist attacks, then it is really desperate for its own ambition.

Come to yourself.

Li Chengyi straightened up gently, turned around and looked behind.

Skittles was blowing bubble gum, wearing big headphones, leaning against the wall by the door and shaking his head, as if immersed in the music.

"Why are you here again?" he asked.

"Come and see you." Rainbow Candy took off the earphones, "Brother Cheng, I found the person you asked me to check. He looks good and works in a ktv."

"How is her family?" Li Chengyi's purpose is very simple, he can't help in the corner, he can only help out to deal with the aftermath.

"There is only one younger brother with a rare disease. He hanged himself on a ventilator in the hospital and needed a lot of surgery fees." Rainbow Sugar replied.

"How many?"

"Eight hundred thousand."

"Can Big Bear help reduce costs?" Li Chengyi asked. "I will pay the fee."

"Let me ask." Skittle Candy put on the headset, pressed the button on it, and quickly connected to Big Bear's call as a mobile phone.

After asking a few words, she nodded to Li Chengyi.

"She's fine there."

"Thank her for me." Li Chengyi nodded.

Help her cure her younger brother's illness, and the matter will be over.

"By the way, I may have to go out for a few days. Can you help me take a look at the botanical garden?"

"No problem. Brother, it's time to hire a professional assistant." Rainbow Candy raised an eyebrow. "It's better not to be our kind."

"I got you."

Dead-end people are very unstable and accidents may happen at any time, so a stable job like a manager is not suitable.

But the botanical garden has too many secrets, and Li Chengyi doesn't trust anyone else, so he can't find a suitable candidate in a short time, so he can only wait for the opportunity.

Thinking of this, he was more and more eager for the flower language ability to increase trust.

If you can have flower language skills, control the risks in this area.

Back upstairs, Li Chengyi quickly packed up the things to be prepared.

He needs to think about where to go to test Jie Mao Feilian's flower scale clothes and flower language ability.

There are eyes of the sky in the city, too much movement is not advisable.

After all, he just registered with Commissioner Jiuyi and made a guarantee.

‘Still need a separate private space.’

After much deliberation, he could only go to the wild wasteland away from the city.

But in this era, there are too few wild wastelands. Many places are said to be wastelands, but in fact there are all kinds of people hiding in them.

Many gray people who cannot make a living in the city hide and live in the wild.

That's how Zhong Hui's small villa came about.

He took out his mobile phone and swipe around on the map. After searching for a while, he found a place between Suiyang City and Qinggang City with no signs at all.

'That's it. '

Taking the packed things and leaving all the electronic devices such as mobile phones, Li Chengyi quickly went out.

I didn't take a taxi, I just walked slowly towards the side like a walk.

The botanical garden is in the outskirts, and the surrounding area is sparsely populated, surrounded by only a few villages.

Within a few miles, there were no traces of people around.

After confirming that no one was there, he quickly speeded up.

At the beginning, it was just the running speed of ordinary people, but as the surrounding became more and more desolate, his speed became faster and faster.

The enhancement brought by Hualinyi has made his physical fitness far beyond the scope of ordinary people.

Whether it is strength, speed, or physique, endurance.

Twenty minutes later.

Li Chengyi left the main road and entered a woodland beside the road.

Going up the slope of the woodland, he gradually climbed up the small hill, but he didn't stop, but continued to drive farther away.

After crossing five or six small hills, he stopped in a dense forest with straight trees and a height of more than ten meters.

The woodland floor is full of fallen dead wood.

Yellow and black fallen leaves and branches are everywhere, some are rotten, some are broken into pieces, and small weed flowers of different heights grow between them.

Li Chengyi touched a few wild flowers casually, most of which were Compositae, dandelions, and purslane that he had touched before.

After making sure there were no fresh words, he got up and looked around.

The surrounding area is empty and fresh, except for some dampness and gloomyness, there is no sign of anyone.

Rifts of cold sunlight passed through the woodland and hit the ground like slanted pillars.

'That's it. '

Li Chengyi took a deep breath and raised his hand, looking at the flower of evil imprint on the back of his hand.

With a thought.

Silently, strands of black shadows, like thin threads, climbed up from his feet.

Soon, the shadow completely covered the whole body, dyeing Li Chengyi black.

hum.

A slight abnormal sound suddenly spread.

Numerous fuchsia petals emerged around out of thin air.

The petals condensed into pieces of black nails, and they fell on him one after another.

Hands, legs, torso, head.

All positions are covered with pieces of armor like scales.

In a blink of an eye, his whole body was dressed in a pitch-black hideous armor with tiny bone spurs protruding everywhere.

Taking out the mirror and looking at it, Li Chengyi was a little stunned.

Not because the armor is too black, but

His helmet is exactly the shape of a crocodile's head.

From a distance, it looked like a huge and ferocious crocodile skull with its mouth wide open to wrap his entire head inside.

To be more precise, it should be his head, which grew out of the throat of the crocodile head.

This weird feeling made him touch his helmet curiously.

The strange thing is that the material of the helmet is different from before. It is not purely hard, but mixed with toughness.

'So, are those crocodile heads really related to Shadow Dragon? '

The appearance of this flower-scale garment further affirmed Li Chengyi's guess about those crocodile heads.

He took the mirror, hung it on a tree, and carefully examined the new suit of armor on his body.

There are black spikes everywhere on the armor, but these spikes are not the long sword spikes like the sword orchid flower scale clothing, but feel like bone spurs.

On the whole, it looks like the full-body heavy armor worn by ancient generals, with small purple patterns on the shoulders. If you look closely, you can find that the patterns are in the shape of knotted hairs.

The fingers on both arms were completely gone, replaced by sharp black claws.

Li Chengyi shook hands casually, making sure that his flexibility would not be affected.

He casually stroked the tree trunk beside him.

The nail of the index finger of his right hand slid across the tree surface without hindrance, and he didn't even feel that there was anything blocking it.

laugh.

There was a sharp scratch on the bark, and the scarce sap slowly oozes out.

'I don't know how the defense is, but the claws are very strong'

After thinking for a while, Li Chengyi held his left hand empty, and suddenly the golden light shone, and the golden gladiolus petals emerged, condensing a short-handled golden sword.

A golden sword in one hand and sharp claws in the other.

He swiped at the golden sword with his claw nails.

Sigh.

There was a clear scratch on the surface of the golden sword, and it was very deep.

'The sharpness is very strong! It can easily break through the protection of the sword orchid flower scale coat. '

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the broken golden sword, and with the remaining blade, he pointed everything at the sharp claw.

puff.

Like the sound of cutting leather.

The sharp claws left a shallow mark.

But as soon as the golden sword was picked up, the trace disappeared quickly, as if it hadn't existed in the first place.

Li Chengyi was a little surprised, and he used his strength again, slashing hard on the sharp claws.

puff!

There was another muffled sound.

There was an extra, darker mark on the claw, but that was it.

Picking up the golden sword, the traces disappeared again.

'The recovery speed is too fast. It's a bit like living armor! '

This is the first time Li Chengyi has seen Hualinyi with self-healing function.

The defense strength is also higher than that of gladiolus.

You must know that Sword Lan Hualinyi has evolved once, and just like that, it is still not as good as Jiemao Feilian.

While Li Chengyi was relieved, he was even more certain that in the future, ordinary flowers can only use flower language as the first choice.

Compared with these mutant flowers, the scales of ordinary flowers are a little bit different in strength.

'In the future, unless it is a flower with a very powerful and rare flower language, it is better to use the mutant flower as the main flower as much as possible. '

Of course, he also knows that all mutant flowers are not necessarily good, after all, it is too difficult to obtain and the cycle is too long.

Weapons and strength were tested.

He began to experience the changes in his body carefully.

After putting on the last Mao Feilian flower scale clothes, he obviously felt that his whole body had cooled down.

Not just body temperature, but also mood, state of mind. Let cool completely.

The excitement and anticipation just now are completely gone now.

It's as if the fever is gone, and the body and mind are like soaking in cold water.

‘Unfortunately, there is no professional equipment test data, so I don’t know how much it will increase the body. It seems that we can only find a way later. '

Li Chengyi skipped this link and set his eyes on the language of flowers.

'Next, determine the flower language ability! '

He raised his hand, palm up.

'Flower Language: Inferior Shadow Dragon Bloodline! '

Start with the mind.

A biting chill exploded from his heart in an instant.

The chill is like an invisible light, which flows through the blood vessels to the whole torso, limbs and head in an instant.

'Warning, once the bloodline flower language is activated, it will begin an irreversible physical change. Unable to return, unable to restore, please confirm whether to fully activate Huayu? '

The information of the Flower of Evil also flowed into his mind along with the chill.

Li Chengyi was taken aback.

This is an active feedback prompt that Evil Flower rarely has.

This thing is like a semi-automatic program. If you don't touch certain places, it won't take the initiative to remind you.

But now it actually sends out an active reminder.

Without hesitation.

'Sure! '

Li Chengyi thought about answering.

He spent so much time and energy, isn't it just for this moment?

'Definitely successful. '

The flower of evil feedback completely disappeared.

Instead, a large amount of chill suddenly accelerated and circulated crazily throughout Li Chengyi's body.

puff.

He couldn't take it anymore, and knelt down on one knee.

The body is getting colder and colder, numb and weak as if frozen.

As he endured the erosion of the cold, in the surrounding woods.

Shadows in the forest, like living creatures, flowed towards him silently.

With a radius of fifty meters, all the shadows, like streams of water, quietly branched out and converged towards Li Chengyi.

hum.

Indistinctly, the eyes of the crocodile head on Li Chengyi's helmet gradually glowed red.
