Chapter 1592: Chapter 1587: Workshop (24)
This guy hasn’t forgotten about it yet!
Clearly, yet another mention of destiny’s summoning has once again impacted Ice.
Given the opponent’s actions along the way, especially the inhuman demeanor in the face of mutation now, she can no longer believe this claim.
However, as her worries about the opponent’s true intentions are once again stirred, the mention of where they are heading also clearly makes her heart skip a beat.
"Or are you planning to conduct a live dissection here, to see if the legendary Vacuum Flower will indeed fade swiftly?"
At this moment, Fu Qian also frowned and looked over, asking plainly.
"How could it be? If we can use him as a vessel to bring the Vacuum Flower back, the sooner the better, but—"
Ice finally shook her head, though still somewhat troubled as she gazed at the metal pool.
"But you don’t want to get contaminated by being in close contact."
Fu Qian gave a cold sneer, clearly seeing through her thoughts.
"Don’t worry, you won’t need to do it."
Won’t need to?
"Then how will you—"
The stark contrast between his sharp and yet agreeable demeanor truly shocked people. However, Ice’s exclamation hadn’t finished when it was interrupted by an ear-piercing sound.
In the teeth-gritting metal tearing sound, the metal platform initially fixed to the ground started rotating slowly.
Fu Qian didn’t reach out to retrieve the deformed corpse from the pool but instead exerted force with his hands, tearing the entire external device off.
"...You still claim you’re just a middle school student!"
Seeing Fu Qian single-handedly supporting the astonishingly weighty container, Ice’s first reaction was to grit her teeth and question him, seemingly grateful she hadn’t acted earlier.
"I used to be, but now I am just responding to destiny’s call."
Fu Qian’s expression was one of sorrow for the other’s lack of understanding, gesturing to the fingernails already spreading to the back of his hand.
...
"Let’s go."
Even if the opponent used the mutated hand to support the metal platform, Ice could never believe that in just a short time, the opponent would evolve to such a degree.
But given the current situation and Fu Qian’s style along the way, Ice eventually gave up arguing such details and went ahead to lead the way.
"Wait a moment."
Yet this time she was stopped by Fu Qian.
He casually approached, and facing Ice’s wary look, gestured in another direction.
"I was just saying you don’t need to do this; there’s another."
"Sophia?"
Ice immediately realized what Fu Qian meant and questioned first.
"But isn’t there no trace of the Vacuum Flower on her?"
"That’s right, but if only I bear the weight, it’d feel psychologically unbalanced."
Fu Qian’s response was reasonable as he brought the item closer to the other.
"Why don’t you give it a try?"
...
Ice certainly couldn’t do it; she finally dodged the trap cautiously, and someone even volunteered to be the porter.
But meanwhile, she wouldn’t believe the opponent was simply psychologically unbalanced, instinctively resisting doing so.
Unfortunately, in the current situation, clearly, she must pick one between these two tasks.
"It’s better if you do it."
Contemplating for a breath, Ice turned around and headed directly toward Sophia’s direction.
Grrrr—
And moments later, another metal platform whose surface was entirely dampened by mist emitted an equally ear-piercing sound.
Ice, whose right hand was adorned with a Golden Armguard, unequivocally showcased unimaginable strength, imitating Fu Qian by also tearing off the metal platform.
And subsequently, supporting it single-handedly.
...
This certainly fits her character.
Previously, the lack of solutions for carrying, and even her terror after displaying strength was clearly largely a facade.
The Golden Sacred Garment worn was evidently more than just for show.
Charlotte’s golden arm did not exhibit its effects during the last exploration.
It now appears that it aligns with earlier speculations—compared to dealing with the relic monsters, their equipment is more suited for pvp.
From this angle, her patience without using a collapse ray until now is truly remarkable.
However, as long as enough pressure is given, any disguise will succumb to exposure.
"Haha... And you said this isn’t a gift from destiny."
Observing the scene, Fu Qian laughed heartily.
The meaning was simple: although you previously doubted the divine power of my right hand, haven’t you now displayed similar abilities?
"Should we hurry up? So that Sophia isn’t discomforted."
Ice intended not to respond, coldly gesturing with her hand.
The statement was indeed true, as in this current state, with nearly instinctual reactions only, Sophia’s body demonstrated noticeable agitation amidst all the turmoil.
"Alright, I’ll lead the way."
Retracting his gaze, Fu Qian agreed readily and took the lead.
...
"Should be correct, right?"
Before long, the figures walking through the passage halted, and Fu Qian, evidently still energetic, gestured at the number in front.
Unfortunately, Ice didn’t respond; she stepped forward quietly and opened the door with her empty hand.
Click!
Almost immediately, she flipped her palm and took out another exquisite object, which instantly emitted a dazzling glow.
Indeed, an environment of Darkness wasn’t needed.
Observing the brightness exceeding her own device and its illumination of the narrow corridor, Fu Qian admired for a moment.
Boom!
Even so, the items both carried were large enough that anyone could tell it wouldn’t fit; amidst the heavy sound, Fu Qian put down the metal platform brought all the way here.
Watching him pull out the corpse from inside and enter the passage without hesitation, Ice finally imitated, retrieving Sophia’s distorted limbs from the water.
...
"So what should we do now, destroy the corpse and release the Vacuum Flower?"
The two were practiced and quickly traversed the winding pathway.
The workshop’s interior remained unchanged from when they left.
And after placing Sophia and the other three corpses separately in two corners, Ice exhibited impatience.
"I have no objections; go ahead."
Despite Fu Qian’s half-arm being covered with nails, he remained mellow and had no opinion on her proposal—yet did not act.
Watching Fu Qian standing still, blatantly letting her act, Ice’s gaze flickered, but she also didn’t move.
In the next moment, a dark red ray flashed across the void, directly piercing the corpse in the corner.
