Chapter 50: Why Can You Use It? The Attack Arrives
After the lightning dispersed, Professor Feng quickly walked out of the building and towards the scepter floating in the air in the distance.
As he approached the scepter, he suddenly realized that he was too excited, as if he were trying to snatch something that clearly belonged to someone else!
Turning back with some embarrassment, he looked at Bai Yu and said, “Haha, I got a bit carried away, a bit carried away. Can I borrow your scepter to try it out?”
“Of course, Professor, please do.”
After receiving permission, Professor Feng could no longer suppress his excitement and immediately channeled his lightning force to pull the scepter down.
Upon holding it, he felt a sense of heaviness.
The scepter’s weight seemed to have increased dozens of times; it was only two to three kilograms before, but now it might be forty to fifty kilograms!
This weight, however, was not particularly exaggerated for a transcendent.
The originally smooth scepter was now carved with numerous inscriptions. Looking at these exquisite inscriptions, Professor Feng really wanted to study them thoroughly to see if he could decipher advanced inscriptions usable by lightning cultivators.
‘What a shame, this is someone else’s treasure.’
He held the scepter, quite reluctant to let go, and tried to activate it. However, after injecting his spiritual energy into the scepter, he still felt as if it were a bottomless pit, only taking in and not giving out!
Seeing this, he couldn’t help but frown, “This scepter still seems unusable.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu was a bit curious. The intelligence indeed stated that he had forcibly activated this scepter in a critical situation. Could there be a key aspect?
If it can’t be used now and can only be kept as a last resort, that would be too disappointing! Intelligence that cannot be immediately monetized is not good intelligence.
With that thought, he considered for a moment and said, “Professor Feng, can you let me take a look?”
“Of course, it’s your item.”
He handed it over to Bai Yu with some regret.
After receiving it, Bai Yu carefully poured his spiritual energy into it.
As soon as he poured it in, he felt as if a ferocious primordial beast was hidden within the scepter.
And he seemed to be able to borrow its power, even activating the scepter.
‘Damn! I think I can use it!?’
‘This intelligence is great!’
Sensing this, Bai Yu very cautiously guided a small portion of the energy within and released it.
A lightning serpent suddenly shot out from the scepter and flew forward, landing on the ground.
With a “boom,” gravel and soil flew everywhere.
Professor Feng was stunned by this scene and asked, “What is your realm? Why can you mobilize the energy inside?”
“Qi Gathering Realm. As for mobilizing it, I feel that after injecting energy, I can establish a connection with the vast energy sealed within and directly use this energy.”
To give the suspected mole in the crowd more to think about, he added, “However, I can only mobilize a very small portion. The vast energy within requires a higher realm to be fully mobilized.”
Professor Feng was somewhat confused; it shouldn’t be like this. The same item was just activated.
Why couldn’t he use it anymore?
“Let me try again?”
“Okay.”
Taking the scepter back, Professor Feng poured a large amount of spiritual energy into it, but there was still no reaction.
“How strange!? How could you do it?”
To Professor Feng, this was like an unsolved mystery.
Bai Yu guessed that perhaps his energy came from the Ancient God Zhang Jiao?
But what did Zhang Jiao have to do with a branch of the World Tree?
After trying a few more times, Professor Feng completely admitted defeat and said, “Alright, this thing truly seems destined for you!”
“If you research anything significant on this scepter, you can discuss it with me. If you can figure out those strange inscriptions just now, you can also tell me, for a fee.”
“Okay! Professor Feng.”
After that, there was nothing else to do, so he began to pack up his things and arrange subsequent work.
In the blink of an eye, it was around five in the afternoon.
At the laboratory, he brought more than ten students and twenty guards for rotation.
They arrived in three vehicles and left in five.
Especially one troop transport vehicle equipped with heavy thunder weapons.
Professor Feng looked at the troop transport vehicle equipped with a thunder launcher and two machine guns and said proudly, “This thunder launcher can simultaneously release more than ten bolts of lightning, capable of engaging multiple Level 15 targets. Its power is immense!”
“There’s definitely no need to worry about safety.”
His statement was mainly to appease Bai Yu’s previously mentioned concern about ‘the recent appearance of so-called Vampire Clan Modified Beings.’
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu put on an excited expression of assured safety.
Naturally, his thoughts were not as simple as they appeared.
The convoy soon appeared and drove into the forest.
It was only three kilometers from the Nine Snake Bend National Highway mentioned in the intelligence, just a few minutes away.
Bai Yu’s heart instantly tensed.
He had also sent a message to his Group Leader before departing.
‘I just hope Director Yang has prepared everything sufficiently!’
However, shortly after entering the Nine Snake Bend National Highway, the vehicles stopped.
The two professors in the same car as Bai Yu frowned and asked over the intercom, “What’s wrong?”
“Professor Feng, according to drone reconnaissance, there are several large rolling stones at the seventh bend ahead, blocking the road. The situation is not serious and can be dealt with promptly.”
Of course, as the Captain of the Guard Team, he would also consider that the landslide might be man-made, so he instructed, “Please professors remain in the vehicles for your safety.”
Upon hearing this, Professor Feng’s expression became serious, “Alright!”
Bai Yu also looked at him, and their gazes met.
Professor Feng turned his head and looked at Professor Wang Wen, smiling, “Old Wang, you really are a jinx, causing trouble as soon as we arrive.”
“Heh~! It’s not like you’re not here in this desolate wilderness. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t come to this godforsaken place.”
The two bickered for a while.
Suddenly, there seemed to be movement outside, a “rustling” sound.
The intercom immediately crackled to life, “Attention all units! Attention all units! This area is suspected of a significant landslide. All units, immediately withdraw from the Nine Snake Bend National Highway!”
As expected, a large number of rolling stones mixed with red soil slid down, blocking the road.
Bai Yu’s brow furrowed upon seeing this.
Damn it!
You brought so many people, and you’re still playing these tricks!?
If it were a large-scale landslide, it would be troublesome.
Natural forces are still incredibly terrifying.
After driving for a while, the vehicles stopped again.
Upon closer inspection, the road they came from was also blocked.
This clearly wasn’t right!
Lightning began to surge around Professor Feng’s hands, and he said to Professor Wang Wen, “Old Wang, if we encounter danger, remember to stay close to me.”
Professor Wang Wen was not a combat-oriented individual, and in this situation, he didn’t retort.
Suddenly, roars came from outside, and through the glass, they could see Blood Monsters rushing down the mountainside!
“Roar~!”
Bai Yu’s brow furrowed. With all the good things he had, he couldn’t just sit idly in the car.
He pulled at the car door, wanting to get out, but it was sealed.
Professor Feng couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing?”
“I’m a combatant.”
Seeing this, Professor Feng hesitated.
Professor Wang Wen then said to the driver, “Open this car door.”
After speaking, he also cautioned Bai Yu, “Although you talk tough, the enemies targeting us are definitely not ordinary. Be careful! I don’t want to see a parent outlive their child.”
“Don’t worry!”
The reason Professor Wang Wen let Bai Yu out was because Bai Yu had mentioned to him in the afternoon that he had a secret mission.
He hadn’t believed it at first, but now it seemed to be true!
