Blind Spot
Chapter 416: Material 381 Three

Chapter 416: Material 381 Three

North of Yi Country, a mountain range of dry, yellow earth stretches out.

With a soft pop, space suddenly shifted, twisting and spinning, and in the blink of an eye, a man covered in blood was ejected and fell onto the clumped yellow earth.

Cough cough...

Barton was left with only tattered scraps of cloth on his body, one eye was blind, leaving only a bloody hole; he was in a wretched state, his vitality and spirit seemingly diminished greatly, leaving behind only a trace of lingering hatred.

"I survived...." In that blind spot, all was dark, haunted by strange, tall, thin creatures floating around; he had to keep running frantically to avoid being devoured.

Fortunately... in the end, he successfully cooperated with another calm and wise young woman and found a way to escape, ultimately paying the price of an eye to break free safely.

"Heh... Blind Spot Individual... I never expected that in the end, I would become one of those dreaded and insane Blind Spot Individuals...."

"This is the choice of fate." Not far away, an aircraft sped toward him, the hatch opened, and a dark, agile figure leaped down from mid-air.

The figure landed, creating a pit in the earth, and then stood upright.

It was a black-haired woman in a tight-fitting metal protective suit.

This woman was exactly the calm collaborator he had met within the Blind Spot—Ding Ruoxing.

"Looks like we’re lucky, the tracker I gave you still works correctly and isn’t damaged," said the woman indifferently.

"Do you really want to take me into your team? The trouble behind me is much bigger than you think," Barton looked at the woman.

"We’re always in imminent danger, at worst we die, what is there to fear? Your strength is quite good. It’s worth paying an equivalent price for," Ding Ruoxing said calmly.

"Besides, I am from the Ding Family; there aren’t many troubles in this world that I would fear."

"...The Ding Family... Are you the Heart Charmer Ding Meng of Jiu Yi?" Barton immediately realized.

Jiu Yi of Yi Country, unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, he was betrayed by Yi Country, and now he was saved by Yi Country...

"We spent a week in the Blind Spot, but only two hours have passed on the outside, the time flow in this Blind Spot clearly varies greatly. I suggest you quickly recuperate and then wait for the next Blind Spot," said Ding Ruoxing.

"I don’t have time to rest; it won’t be long before trouble finds me." Barton recalled the relentless Shadow Dragon and knew that reality might not be safer for him than the Blind Spot.

"I have a way." Ding Ruoxing was clearly well prepared before coming.

She casually tossed a chicken egg-sized silver metal sphere from her hands, sending it flying toward Barton.

"This is a custom-made isolation stealth garment, not optical invisibility, but specifically against various types of radiation and scent detection, and it’s highly effective. Combined with that ability you awakened in the Blind Spot, which can insulate scent and condense shadows, if you wish, from now on, no one will be able to find you."

Barton caught it and examined the silver metal sphere.

With a gentle squeeze, the metal sphere automatically exploded into countless silver particles that wrapped around every part of his body. Soon, they formed a snug silver mesh garment.

"Are you sure it works?" He was a bit uncertain.

"Want to take a bet?" Ding Ruoxing said.

"...It looks like I don’t have a choice," Barton sighed, hiding his hatred deep within. "What’s next for us?"

"Heal, and then train," Ding Ruoxing replied dispassionately.

In Fengnan Province.

"So you’re saying that guy came out of the Blind Spot, but the Shadow Eater still couldn’t find that sole escapee and heart-blood fusioneer Barton?"

Li Chengyi looked at the figure on the communication hologram, Li Chongnan, quite surprised.

The Shadow Eater might be thwarted by him, but against other Grade Eights, those Three-headed Shadow Dragons could easily overpower them as if chopping vegetables.

It’s only against Grade Nine that they are not victorious, but overall, their strength should be somewhere in between Grade Eight and Nine.

With their bizarre abilities, like various decoys and Shadow Flashes, even he would not be confident in overcoming the encirclement of the opponent’s Three-headed Shadow Dragons.

After all, pushed to the brink, no one knows what kind of aces the other side might be hiding.

"That’s right, the people from Shadow Eater came to request comprehensive surveillance cooperation from the Safety Bureau; it’s obvious they’ve lost track of Barton," Li Chongnan spoke somberly.

"So, what does Elder Li suggest?"Li Chengyi asked.

"The Family Head says you should decide on your own," replied Li Chongnan.

"Understood," the hologram cut off.

Li Chengyi turned around, looking at a huge container docked on the underground base platform behind him.

The door of the container swung open, revealing piles of materials needed for his Imprint Orb manufacturing.

"The materials here have been inventoried; the specific list is as follows, please check it," the voice of AI Rose rang out in the base.

Soon, a new hologram appeared in front of Li Chengyi, neatly listing all the materials delivered.

These were the materials that Li Chengyi, as a Grade Nine, had applied for and obtained from the national treasury.

Each type of material was present in no less than a ton.

Moreover, most were contraband and didn’t cost him any money. Just the materials piled up here, in terms of value, were worth at least several billion.

Many of them were also not for sale; if it were Li Chengyi of the past, he’d probably have to gather them slowly through other channels, and the amounts he could buy would not be much.

But now... he only had to give an order, and all the resources of Yi Country revolved around him, with the treasury instantly mobilizing a large number of resources for him.

This was the privilege of a Grade Nine.

’Based on the method of making Imprint Orbs, the quantity here is enough for me to produce hundreds of orbs... Now, all that’s missing are the last three materials.’

Li Chengyi was satisfied in his heart.

His strength had reached its peak, and it had been a long time since he had experienced the benefits of power and authority.

Now, the mobilization of resources allowed him to truly appreciate the advantages of standing behind a massive power.

"Since most of the materials needed have arrived, then I should start constructing my own protective base as soon as possible..."

The books on Necromancy he had read recorded the methods of constructing a Mage Tower, but they were not comprehensive.

Luckily, modern technology was sufficiently advanced; combining it with the construction methods of fully enclosed experimental labs, he could modify them without issue.

Time was of the essence, as the next Blind Spot could come at any moment, so he had to pursue his goals as quickly as possible.

"Rose, is my construction plan complete? When will the ordered modules be finished?" he asked aloud.

"Family Head, based on the latest information from the military factory, all the assembly modules should be ready by tonight," Rose replied.

"Excellent," Li Chengyi nodded, his gaze deep.

Next, once Shadow Eater fulfills the promise, I must quickly master the method to make Imprint Orbs.

He had no confidence in his own manufacturing abilities, although his intelligence had been greatly enhanced, his Consciousness Power was strong, and his learning ability had improved; to think he could invent a method to create Imprint Orbs out of thin air in a short time was like a fool’s dream.

But...

He had the Flower Language Technique.

As a main force, the Evil Flower might seem a bit jumbled, but as a support...

It was a typical divine skill.

With a vast amount of Flower Language recorded, Li Chengyi had already chosen a special Flower Language to quickly obtain stronger abilities to learn, research, and absorb knowledge.

Using the methods of Rainbow Candy and Da Xiong, Li Chengyi felt that he had grasped the true essence of the Flower Language Technique.

After confirming various materials, he took the underground elevator back to the surface. He did not go to the botanic garden but instead wandered aimlessly in the nearby forest sea.

This vicinity was also planted with many plants unsuitable for the botanical garden, at his request.

The Flower Language he needed was here, easy to find, and it was a very common species with strong vitality.

The afternoon light dazzled in the forest, the autumn breeze rustled the leaves, also bringing a touch of dryness.

Li Chengyi walked alone on the thick layer of fallen leaves, his footsteps crunching the leaves beneath his shoes.

Sunlight streamed through gaps in the leaves above, casting golden rods at his feet.

Li Chengyi looked out at a patch of forest before him that retained its primitive appearance.

The tree roots, like vines, protruded from the ground, twisting and curling.

The air was filled with fluttering spores and the fine hairs from certain plants.

Tiny insects that tried to approach him were immediately swept by an invisible breeze of necrotic essence, turning them into corpses that plummeted and stiffened.

’Found it.’ Soon, he came to a grove of tall and leafy trees.

More precisely, from here on, all the trees in sight were of this same type.

Grey thick tree trunks, yellow-green leaves like maple leaf fans.

Fine hairs falling gently, dense yellow-green hairy fruits and large white-purple gradient trumpet flowers.

’Lucky, there are still some small flowers left.’

Li Chengyi was delighted as he covered his body with the invisible Feilian Floral Dress, entering a Fusion Form.

Fluttering his wings gently, he floated up, rising to a height of seven or eight meters, hovering in front of clusters of white and purple flowers.

He reached out his hand.

And touched gently.

Hiss...

A cool essence of flowers flowed continuously into his body.

At the same time, the Mark of the Evil Flower on the back of his hand lit up with a white light in a new segment.

Information about the New Divine Flower Position quickly entered his mind.

’Three-ball Silk Floss Flower: also known as Sweating Tree, Parasol Tree. A deciduous tree favoring light, warm, and humid climates, tolerating cold to an extent with a shallow root system, vulnerable to strong winds. The tree can grow over thirty meters tall.’

’Flower Language: Overflowing Talent (Select a direction and you can instantly extract extensive knowledge and experience from outside the gate in that direction once.)

Note 1: The scope and breadth of the chosen direction relate to the specific quantity and detail of knowledge and experience extracted.

Note 2: Some obscure directions may extract unknown and dangerous knowledge and experience, please be cautious.

Note 3: This Flower Language Technique can only be used once.’

’Would you like to confirm this flower as the main flower for the Divine Flower Position?’

The query from the Evil Flower simultaneously came through.

"Confirm! It’s this one!" Li Chengyi exhaled with relief.

In an instant, countless flower essences surged along his fingers, converging into the new Grade Eight Divine Flower Position.

The first formation of the Flower Language Technique didn’t require Evil Thoughts.

The vast Parasol Trees before him were sufficient for Li Chengyi to complete his Floral Dress and Flower Language Ability.

Half a minute later, the completion of the Floral Dress reached 100%.

’Please start specifying the direction of the knowledge and experience you wish to extract. Use the prefix: I designate....’ The query from the Evil Flower came again.
