Hidden Corner

 Chapter 159 159 Destiny Three

Forever Botanical Garden.

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

Li Chengyi gently covered a white chrysanthemum plant with soil and poured nutrient solution on it.

He suddenly understood now why the sales of white chrysanthemum were so good some time ago.

 Because too many people died.

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

 They brought death.

  And it is a death that most people are unwilling to accept.

It would be okay if it was a troubled time, but if a stable country like Yi State still carries out such terrorist attacks, then it is really desperate for its own ambitions.

 Come back to your senses.

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

Skittle Gum was blowing bubble gum, wearing big headphones, leaning against the wall next to the door and shaking her head, seemingly immersed in the music.

 “Why are you here again?” he asked.

“Come here and see you.” Rainbow Sugar took off her headphones, “Brother Cheng, I found the person you asked me to check. He looks pretty good and works in a KTV.”

"How is her family?" Li Chengyi's purpose was simple. He couldn't help in the blind spot, so he could only help with the aftermath outside.

“I only have a younger brother. He has a rare disease and is wearing a ventilator in the hospital. He needs a lot of surgery fees.” Skittles replied.

"How many?"

"Eight hundred thousand."

“Can Daxiong help reduce costs?” Li Chengyi asked. "I'll pay the fee."

“Let me ask.” Rainbow Sugar put on the earphones, pressed the button on it, and quickly used it as a mobile phone to call Daxiong.

 After asking a few questions, she nodded towards Li Chengyi.

 “There’s no problem with her.”

 “Thank her for me.” Li Chengyi nodded.

 Help her cure her 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 look at the botanical garden?”

“No problem. It’s time for you to hire a professional assistant.” Rainbow Tang raised his eyebrows. "It's better not to be our kind."

"I got you."

 Hunters are very unstable and may have accidents at any time, so they are not suitable for a stable job like a manager.

 But there were too many secrets in the botanical garden. Li Chengyi did not trust anyone else. He could not find a suitable candidate in a short time and could only wait for the opportunity.

Thinking of this, he became more and more thirsty for the ability to increase trust in flower language.

  If you have the ability to speak with flowers, control the risks in this area.

 Back upstairs, Li Chengyi quickly packed up the things he wanted to prepare.

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

 There is a celestial eye in the city, and too much movement is undesirable.

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

 ‘You still need a separate private space.’

Thinking about it, I can only go to the wilderness away from the city.

 But in this era, there are too few wild lands. 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 live in hiding in the wild.

This is how Zhong Hui’s small villa came to be.

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

　　‘That’s it. ’

 Putting the things he had packed away, leaving behind his mobile phone and all electronic equipment, Li Chengyi quickly went out.

 I didn’t take a taxi, I just walked slowly and leisurely towards that side as if walking.

The Botanical Garden is located in the outskirts, sparsely populated and surrounded by only a few villages.

 After walking a few miles, there was no trace of people around.

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

 At first, it was just the speed of ordinary people running. As the surrounding became more and more deserted, his speed became faster and faster.

 The enhancement brought by the Flower Scale Clothes has made his physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people.

 Whether it’s strength, speed, physique, or endurance.

 Twenty minutes later.

Li Chengyi left the main road and entered a woodland on the roadside.

Going up the **** of the woodland, he gradually climbed up the hills, but did not stop, but continued to drive further away.

We continued past five or six hills and stopped in a dense forest with straight trees that were more than ten meters high.

 The woodland floor is covered with fallen dead trees.

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

Li Chengyi casually touched a few wild flowers, most of which were the Asteraceae, dandelion, purslane and the like that he had touched before.

 After making sure that there were no fresh flowers, he stood up and looked around.

The surrounding area is open and fresh, except for a bit of dampness and eerieness, and there is no sign of any human beings.

Straits of cool sunlight passed through the forest and hit the ground like leaning pillars.

　　‘That’s it. ’

Li Chengyi took a deep breath and raised his hand, looking at the Flower of Evil mark on the back of his hand.

 A thought in my mind.

Silently, wisps of black shadow, like thin lines, climbed up from his feet.

 Soon, the shadow completely covered his body, turning Li Chengyi into a black man.

 Hum.

 A slight abnormal sound suddenly spread.

Countless purple-red knotty hairy petals appear out of thin air all around.

The petals condensed into pieces of pitch-black armor, which fell on him one after another.

 Hands, legs, torso, head.

 Every position is covered with pieces of scale-like armor.

In the blink of an eye, he was put on a set of pitch black ferocious armor with tiny bone spurs protruding everywhere.

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

 It’s not because the armor is too dark, but because

His helmet is completely in the shape of a crocodile head. From a distance, it looked like a huge and ferocious crocodile skull, with its mouth wide open and covering his entire head.

  To be more precise, it should be his head, growing out from the **** of the crocodile head.

This weird feeling made him touch the helmet curiously.

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

‘So, are those crocodile heads really related to the shadow dragon? ’

The appearance of this flower-scaled coat further confirmed Li Chengyi’s guess about those crocodile heads.

 He took the mirror, hung it on the tree, and then carefully looked at the new armor on his body.

There are black spikes everywhere in the armor, but these spikes are not the longer sword spikes like the gladiolus scale coat, but feel like bone spurs.

Looking at it as a whole, it looks a bit like the full-body heavy armor worn by ancient generals. There are small purple-red patterns on the shoulders. If you look closely, you can see that the patterns are in the shape of knotted hair and thin feathers.

The fingers on both arms were completely missing, replaced by sharp, dark claws.

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

 He casually scratched the tree trunk next to him.

The nail of the index finger of his right hand traced across the tree surface without any obstruction, and he didn't even feel anything blocking it.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　．

There is a sharp scratch on the bark of the tree, and the sparse sap slowly seeps out.

　　‘I don’t know how the defense is, but this claw is very strong’

After thinking about it, Li Chengyi held it empty in his left hand, and suddenly golden light shone, and golden gladioli petals emerged, condensing into a short-handled golden sword.

 A golden sword in one hand and a sharp claw in the other.

 He scratched the golden sword with his claw nails.

　　嗗.

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

 ‘It’s very sharp! It can easily break through the protection of gladiolus scales. ’

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

 Poof.

 Like the sound of cutting on leather.

 The claws left a shallow mark.

 But as soon as he picked up the golden sword, this trace quickly disappeared, as if it was never there in the first place.

Li Chengyi was a little surprised. He used force again and cut **** his sharp claws.

 Poof!

There was another muffled sound.

There is a deeper mark on the claws, but that’s it.

 Picked up the golden sword and 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 the flower scale clothing with self-healing function.

 The defense strength is also higher than that of Gladiolus.

 You must know that Gladiolus Flower Scale Coat has evolved once. Even so, it is still not as good as Zhimao Feilian.

Li Chengyi was relieved, but also became more certain that in the future, ordinary flowers can only be chosen as Flower Language.

 The scales of ordinary flowers are slightly different in strength compared to those of these mutant flowers.

From now on, unless it is a rare flower with a very powerful flower language, it is better to use mutated flowers as the main flower as much as possible. ’

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

 Tested weapons and strength.

 He began to carefully appreciate the changes in his body.

 After putting on the Jie Mao Feilian flower scale clothes, he obviously felt that his whole body had become colder.

 Not just body temperature, but also mood and mentality. Cool down completely.

 The excitement and anticipation just now are completely gone now.

 It's like having a fever gone, and your body and mind feel like you've been immersed in cold water.

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

Li Chengyi skipped this link and focused on the language of flowers.

 ‘Next, determine your flower language ability! ’

 He raised his hand, palm up.

 ‘Flower Language·Inferior Shadow Dragon Bloodline! ’

 Initiate with thoughts.

 A kind of icy coldness instantly exploded from his heart.

The chill is like a ball of invisible light, instantly flowing along the cardiovascular system to the entire torso and into the limbs and head.

  ‘Warning, once the bloodline flower language is activated, irreversible physical changes will begin. Unable to return or restore, please confirm whether to completely activate Huayu? ’

 The information about the Flower of Evil also flowed into my mind along with this chill.

Li Chengyi was stunned.

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

This thing is like a semi-automatic program. It will not proactively remind you unless you touch certain places.

 But now it actually issues an active prompt.

 No hesitation.

'Sure! ’

 Li Chengyi replied thoughtfully.

 Isn’t it just for this moment that he has spent so much time and energy?

  ‘Determine success. ’

 Flower of Evil feedback is completely hidden.

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

 Poof.

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

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

 As he endured the cold, he was surrounded by woods.

 The shadows in the forest were like living creatures, flowing towards him silently.

 With a radius of fifty meters, all the shadows were like water, quietly branching out and converging towards Li Chengyi.

　　hum.

 Faintly, the crocodile head on Li Chengyi's helmet gradually lit up with a red light in his eyes.
