Chapter 531 Driven by Wind
The same principle applies to the mutated banyan tree. The reason why the mutated banyan tree has grown explosively to its current size is simply an unconscious behavior of energy surge.
After entering a stable period, the entire tree, including the banyan grove in this area, will enter a calm and dormant period. Only when it adapts to the changes brought about by this level will it slowly grow on this basis.
At this moment, Bai Mengyan finally understood Leng Yuexiu's intention: to make a move when the mutated banyan tree was at its weakest, as this would make it the easiest to succeed.
"It seems that the threat posed by the advancement of plants and animals is far stronger than we imagined. The 'barrier'-like sealing effect of the mutated banyan tree alone is enough to make a group of people lose contact and become isolated and helpless. We must tell the others about the situation here when we get back, and tell them not to set foot here easily, and to avoid it if possible."
Bai Mengyan naturally told Leng Yuexiu what she had in mind.
Leng Yuexiu was very pleased. Bai Mengyan was only a reserve member of the chief battle group, yet she was already able to take the initiative to consider these issues and had the demeanor of a leader.
"Don't worry, all the unusual phenomena we encountered in this operation will be compiled, classified, and eventually synchronized into the combat support information of all participating personnel. The situation we encountered is of great value, and headquarters will not miss it."
Seeing that the roots around him, which were still trying to engulf him, were growing at a slower rate, Leng Yuexiu reminded him, "Xiao Yan, we can now disconnect the sensory connection and I will try to initiate it. Let's test it out."
Bai Mengyan didn't beat around the bush, "Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After the transmission ended, Bai Mengyan proactively severed the ring's spatial sensing. The ring floating on Leng Yuexiu's chest lost control and naturally fell, pulled by the necklace, landing outside his clothes.
Leng Yuexiu glanced at the time subconsciously, then slipped his finger through the ring and kissed it as if in a devout prayer.
At this moment, he is using his wind-based superpower to maintain a wind shield. The outer ring of the wind shield is made up of high-speed wind blades, and he is enjoying peace and quiet inside the wind shield. In reality, the outer ring of the wind shield is constantly pruning the roots that extend over it, revealing their sharpness.
If you are using wind-based abilities and want to activate a ring with spatial sensing capabilities, it is best to activate another ability so that they do not interfere with each other and will not affect the wind shield that is in progress.
However, since lightning-type abilities are domineering, he didn't want to bring that powerful and fierce aura to Bai Mengyan. So he chose to use gentle and warm wind-type abilities instead, slowly infusing the pale blue wind-type abilities into her.
Unlike spatial abilities, wind-based abilities do not have a consistent attribute when activated, resulting in significant energy loss during energy conversion and compensation.
As Leng Yuexiu sensed it, he continuously channeled his supernatural energy into the ring. Only after he had output the energy of nearly one crystal did the ring finally begin to react.
Unlike Bai Mengyan's warm and scalding call, it was icy cold, as if carrying Leng Yuexiu's innate unique temperament.
Leng Yuexiu continued to infuse his wind-type abilities into the device, silently repeating Bai Mengyan's name over and over again.
Perhaps they hadn't found the trick, perhaps they weren't skilled enough, or perhaps they weren't devout enough, but the channel connecting their thoughts hadn't been established for a long time.
Bai Mengyan could feel the ring on her palm trembling incessantly, as if it were being restrained by something.
Just when she felt she was about to succeed, the ring would return to calm, lying quietly in Bai Mengyan's palm, as if nothing had happened.
With only 30 seconds left, Bai Mengyan remained calm and patiently waited for her lover to overcome all obstacles and reach her.
Bai Mengyan picked up the ring, kissed it lightly, and silently said, 'You can definitely do it.'
She then put the ring, which she hadn't worn for a long time, back on her middle finger, which symbolizes being in love.
Strangely enough, as soon as the ring landed on her beautiful finger, the warmth that should have been on the ring faded when she clasped her hands together, and the cool touch calmed her down.
On the other side, Leng Yuexiu seemed to sense something and stopped multitasking, worrying about the integrity of the wind shield while injecting his supernatural power into the ring.
In his own mind's eye, he put on the ring, clenched his fist, pressed the ring side to his lips, closed his eyes, and called Bai Mengyan's name again with all his heart, tenderly yet firmly.
"Bai Mengyan... Bai Mengyan... Mengyan..."
Unbeknownst to Leng Yuexiu, the ring's spatial attribute was activated, and in an instant, the space supported by his wind shield was filled with the spatial attribute energy released by the ring, making his wind shield stronger than ever before.
Bai Mengyan's finger, adorned with the ring, seemed to be drawn along. The double-layered ring, with its upper layer studded with diamonds, began to rotate on a track, and faint traces of light blue wind could be seen within.
Overjoyed, she then heard Leng Yuexiu's voice in her mind, calling her name tirelessly over and over again.
This was the first time Leng Yuexiu had used his own method to find her through the medium of the ring.
Bai Mengyan's eyes welled up with tears again, "I heard you, I heard you, you did the repair."
Bai Mengyan responded to Leng Yuexiu with her thoughts. Leng Yuexiu's face was incredibly gentle, and he smiled, "From now on, I will never lose you again."
The double entendre made Bai Mengyan's heart tremble even more violently.
Bai Mengyan still had reason and asked worriedly, "I can feel your wind-type ability fading away. Is the ability to establish communication very depleted?"
Leng Yuexiu, unconcerned about the rapid depletion of his supernatural power, said, "That's not important. What's important is finding you."
Bai Mengyan was not satisfied with this answer. "Leng Yuexiu, you'd better be serious in this situation."
Leng Yuexiu chuckled, "I'm serious. The damage is quite significant right now. It might be because I'm not skilled enough yet. It will get better in the future."
Having received Leng Yuexiu's answer, Bai Mengyan now understood the ring's dual-use functionality. "Understood. Experiment successful. Turn it off. Use your powers sparingly. Hopefully, the upcoming operation will go smoothly."
Leng Yuexiu didn't mince words, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After their conversation ended, Bai Mengyan sat down with a smile.
Cheng Kaixi looked at Bai Mengyan's happy appearance and the glaring ring on her hand, his eyes darkening. He then turned his gaze back to the spherical barrier that reflected the light attribute enhancement.
While waiting, Su Jiancheng led everyone to finalize the details of the operation, and Bai Mengyan also took over the energy replenishment of the protective barrier, giving Cheng Kaixi time to absorb some crystal energy to replenish herself.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
As the last minute before their appointment with Leng Yuexiu approached, everyone's expressions gradually turned serious, though they still looked eager to try.
Su Jiancheng spoke up at the right moment, "Brothers, get ready. Be alert and ready to act at any time. Everything will proceed according to plan."
At this moment, the ring on Bai Mengyan's hand once again emitted a familiar coolness and the scent of wind, and the spatial sensing channel opened accordingly.
