Chapter 117: Turning Misfortune into Blessing, Prophecy Reappears!
Military Affairs Department.
Looking at Liu Zimo, Ye Feihong, and Lou Xiaoxiao suddenly appearing in his office, Wu Songyang was momentarily stunned.
"You are..."
Staring at Liu Zimo for nearly three seconds, Wu Songyang suddenly reacted and stood up, showing a pleasantly surprised expression as he exclaimed loudly,
"Advisor Liu?!"
"Advisor Liu, didn't you go back to Luozhou? Why are you here again... are you planning to settle down in the capital?"
Glancing at the two little girls behind Liu Zimo, thinking they were his family members, Wu Songyang's smile grew even wider.
He brought his family along this time, so Advisor Liu must have decided not to leave again, right?
Liu Zimo stared at Wu Songyang without saying a word. Instead, he quietly released his spiritual power and consciousness, slowly approaching Wu Songyang.
Sure enough.
Just as he revealed a spiritual aura equivalent to the Linghai Realm, a stream of light swiftly flashed at Wu Songyang's forehead, heading straight for Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness.
Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Liu Zimo's lips.
He knew that as the head of the Military Affairs Department, holding the military power of the entire capital, Wu Songyang would undoubtedly become the primary target of these spirit-devouring insects' invasion and control.
Now it seemed that his prediction was correct!
Without Liu Zimo deliberately invading Wu Songyang's sea of consciousness, this spirit-devouring insect took the initiative to attack uncontrollably and willingly entered his sea of consciousness.
It can only be said that the vigilance of these spirit-devouring insects is really average.
There are not many insects like Yao Eighteen and Yao Nine who are unwilling to leave their hosts easily and are good at playing hide-and-seek with him.
The vast majority of spirit-devouring insects simply treat the human race on Earth as their hunting ground, arrogantly and recklessly selecting prey that suits their taste.
Therefore, when they sensed the spiritual aura deliberately released by Liu Zimo, equivalent to the Linghai or even the Lingyuan Realm, they flew towards him like sharks smelling blood!
They have never worried or believed that there would be any cultivator on Earth who could trap them in their sea of consciousness!
"What a group of confident, arrogant, and arrogant guys!"
"But now, they have all become prey for me, Liu!"
Fishing successfully, Liu Zimo sighed with satisfaction.
At the same time, he warned himself in his heart not to be like these spirit-devouring insects, thinking highly of himself and becoming arrogant.
Otherwise, one day, he might fall into someone else's trap and become prey in their eyes!
Swish!
His will was like a knife, instantly bringing justice to this spirit-devouring insect that had invaded his sea of consciousness.
The little bug had just entered his sea of consciousness and hadn't even figured out the situation yet. Before its spiritual thread could even extend, its spiritual crystal in the lower abdomen was forcibly cut out.
Without the support of the spiritual crystal, its consciousness instantly vanished.
The remaining spiritual body also began to rapidly dissolve, turning into extremely pure spiritual essence that merged into Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness, causing his sea of consciousness to expand and spread out hundreds of meters once again.
"Another fool!"
Yao Zero, who was in a state of meditation, sensed the commotion outside but only flicked his eyelids and casually commented before ignoring it.
It had seen too many similar scenes and had long become numb to them.
As long as it wasn't the one dying, it didn't care who it was!
In the office of the General Staff Headquarters.
The death of the devouring spirit bug that controlled Wu Songyang's spiritual consciousness caused the spiritual web that had been trapped in his spiritual platform to rapidly dissolve and return to its source.
Stimulated by this spiritual source, a bright light flashed in the center of Wu Songyang's spiritual platform, causing intense vibrations. A trace of spiritual essence suddenly emerged within the light.
With the birth of spiritual essence, the sea of consciousness appeared!
This is the sign of opening up the sea of consciousness and entering the realm of spiritual essence!
Seeing this, Liu Zimo nodded slightly. This could be considered a blessing in disguise for Wu Songyang.
Originally, based on his own spiritual cultivation aptitude, he probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to open up the sea of consciousness in his lifetime.
But now, after being stimulated and nourished by the devouring spirit bug and the spiritual web, he advanced in one step and directly entered the realm of spiritual essence!
Even the lock shadow above his head has now turned blue.
"God returns to the sea of consciousness, silently operates the spiritual essence, enters the Dao with the spirit, and sees the true self..."
Liu Zimo whispered, imprinting the "Spiritual Essence Technique" into Wu Songyang's sea of consciousness, helping him quickly stabilize his sea of consciousness and control the spiritual essence.
Following his instructions, Wu Songyang quickly entered a state of oneness between heaven and man, sitting cross-legged on the chair with a relaxed mind, motionless.
At this moment, the internal guards who heard the commotion in the office had already appeared, including Wang Shengli, who had a chance encounter with Liu Zimo last time.
"Advisor Liu?!"
"One of us!"
Wang Shengli immediately recognized Liu Zimo and quickly signaled his colleagues not to act. Then, with a look of surprise, he approached Liu Zimo and asked eagerly,
"Advisor Liu, when did you come back? Why didn't you inform us in advance?"
"Wang, we meet again! I just arrived!"
Liu Zimo also greeted this familiar acquaintance warmly.
In just a few months, this young internal guard, Wang Shengli, had already reached the Iron Bone Realm.
And it seems that he has been promoted. These internal guards in front of him seem to respect him and obey his orders.
Seeing Wang Shengli and the internal guards behind him occasionally glancing at the meditating Wu Songyang, Liu Zimo explained in a low voice,
"Don't worry, General Wu's spiritual sea has awakened due to the convergence of opportunities and is currently stabilizing his realm."
"If you are not at ease, you can stay here and guard, but don't make too much noise to avoid disturbing General Wu!"
Wang Shengli breathed a sigh of relief. As long as everything is fine!
He had complete trust in Liu Zimo, the martial arts advisor appointed by General Wu, who had saved his life before.
"Zhang Wei, Liu Sheng, the two of you guard General Wu's side. Don't let anyone approach until he wakes up!"
Wang Shengli turned to the two internal guards behind him and gave them instructions. Then, he bowed to Liu Zimo and considerately asked,
"Advisor Liu, would you like to continue waiting here or go next door for a cup of hot tea and rest?"
Seeing their usually hot-tempered captain behaving so obsequiously and warmly towards a young man, the internal guards behind him couldn't help but widen their eyes.
What's going on?
Who is this kid?
Even in front of General Wu, they had never seen Captain Wang behave so gently and obsequiously before!
Moreover, looking at his eager expression, he was almost hanging onto the young man's thigh!
Wait a minute!
Captain Wang has been calling this young man "Advisor Liu" all along. As for the person in the entire military headquarters who can be named as an advisor, besides Hong Lao, there seems to be only one left, right?
Could it be that this young man is Liu Zimo, who broke through the Golden Body in front of the military headquarters, and even saved General Wu, Captain Wang, and nearly a thousand soldiers in the camp?
Definitely!
Apart from this consultant Liu, who else could make Captain Wang, whose cultivation has already approached the realm of the Golden Body, show such respect and deference?
Thinking of this, all the internal guards present couldn't help but stand at attention to Liu Zimo, showing their respect!
Three months ago, when the demonic calamity broke out, most of them were on missions outside and not in the camp, so they did not witness the scene where Consultant Liu displayed his power.
But afterwards, they heard more than once from their captain and other soldiers in the camp about Liu Zimo breaking through to the Golden Body realm, killing illusionary demons, and saving everyone, including the General Staff!
Respecting the strong and admiring heroes has always been the norm in the military, and these internal guards are no exception.
Therefore, they naturally have great awe for the hero consultant who saved almost the entire General Staff.
Feeling the eager gazes from the internal guards, Liu Zimo couldn't help but smile and nod in response.
It's just a pity that the four internal guards in front of him, including Wang Shengli, only have ordinary green and blue lock shadows on their heads. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind binding a few more "good brothers".
"No need for tea, let's go to the kitchen in the rear camp and sit there," Liu Zimo shook his head slightly and said to Wang Shengli.
"I brought two top-quality ingredients this time. Later, I can treat all the soldiers in the camp to a good nutritious meal!"
After speaking, Liu Zimo flew to the rear camp with his two disciples.
Wang Shengli left the other two internal guards behind and followed suit, and they quickly arrived at the kitchen in the rear.
In the kitchen, the squad leader, Lao Yu, was surrounded by a dozen soldiers, watching the two "meat mountains" placed in the courtyard.
Each of them had a worried expression, wondering how to deal with these two big things.
They took out their kitchen knives, bone knives, and even the big axes used for chopping firewood, but they couldn't even cut off a small piece of skin from the meat mountains!
"What kind of object is this from a demonic beast? Why is it so sturdy?!"
"Yeah, they say that when a martial artist reaches the Iron Bone realm, their bones become as hard as iron and their flesh as tough as copper, and a knife can't hurt them!"
"Do you think these two big guys were taken from demonic beasts that are as strong as the Iron Bone realm?"
"Nonsense about the Iron Bone realm, do you guys know anything?!"
"Don't you know that our squad leader Lao Yu is in the Iron Bone realm? If these pieces of meat were also in the Iron Bone realm, wouldn't Squad Leader Lao Yu be able to cut them?"
"In my opinion, these two chunks of demonic beast meat must have been cut from even higher-level demonic beasts!"
...
The dozen or so people were discussing the snake gall and leopard heart, completely unaware that Liu Zimo and his disciples, as well as the internal guard Wang Shengli, had appeared behind them.
Hearing the discussion of the kitchen staff, Wang Shengli couldn't help but take a cold breath.
Even Lao Yu, who was skilled in cooking and had a high cultivation level, couldn't cut the tough flesh. How strong and resilient must it be?
What kind of high-level ingredients did Consultant Liu bring for them this time?
Could it be, as these kitchen soldiers speculated, high-level demonic beasts that surpass the Iron Bone realm?
"Feihong, Xiaoxiao, you two go and help," Liu Zimo whispered.
Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao drew their alloy daggers from their waists again and appeared in the middle of the crowd.
Swish! Swish!
Several cold lights flashed, and the black leopard heart that the crowd couldn't cut through earlier was now being rapidly dissected by the two little girls, as if it were a piece of tofu.
The soldiers in the kitchen were instantly in an uproar, and then their faces turned red with embarrassment.
I didn't expect that a group of more than ten grown men, who were like mountains of meat, would be easily dismembered by two little kids who were only five or six years old.
Moreover, the movements of these two little girls while dismembering the meat mountain were so skilled, flowing smoothly without any hesitation.
Every piece of meat and every chunk that was dismembered were incredibly uniform in size and thickness, as if they were processed by a machine!
Their technique, their knife skills, were many times more professional than those of the chefs!
I am in awe and feel ashamed of myself. How could we compare to these two little girls? It's as if we've been living like dogs all these years!
"Advisor Liu, Captain Wang!"
At this moment, Old Yu, the platoon leader, also noticed Liu Zimo and Wang Shengli and hurriedly approached them to greet them.
"Advisor Liu, please forgive us. None of the soldiers in our platoon could do anything with these two types of ingredients. In the end, we had to ask your disciple for help!"
Old Yu, the platoon leader, apologized somewhat embarrassedly to Liu Zimo.
As the first survivor of the catastrophe, he had the privilege of witnessing Liu Zimo's awe-inspiring power in the camp, and his respect for Liu Zimo came from the bottom of his heart.
"Platoon Leader Yu, you're being too modest." Liu Zimo shook his head and smiled lightly. "I didn't consider it carefully just now and forgot that the flesh of this commander-level monster is as tough as a golden body. Ordinary knives and swords are indeed difficult to damage."
As soon as his words fell, Old Yu, Wang Shengli, and the dozen or so soldiers behind them couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Indeed!
Their previous guess was not wrong!
These two masses of flesh and blood were really the flesh and blood of a golden body-level monster!
It can only be said that Advisor Liu is truly remarkable. Every time he takes action, it is so extraordinary!
"To dismember and cook meat from monsters of this level, special tools are needed!"
Saying that, Liu Zimo reached into his waist and took out a sharp dagger made of the same aviation alloy steel, handing it to Old Yu.
"This short dagger is forged from a special alloy, with the sharpness to cut gold and jade. Whether it's used to kill enemies or to cut the flesh and blood of monsters, it is unparalleled."
"Now, I will give it to Platoon Leader Yu. In the future, you can use it to cut the flesh and blood of monsters at the golden body level and above, and cook additional meals for the soldiers in the camp!"
"This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate..." Old Yu swallowed his saliva and stared eagerly at the dagger in front of him, struggling to refuse.
Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Zimo directly stuffed the dagger into his hand and said loudly,
"It's just a dagger, Platoon Leader Yu, don't be so hesitant. Just keep it with peace of mind!"
"In the future, your kitchen staff will have plenty of opportunities to come into contact with the flesh and blood of monsters at the golden body level and above. How can they cook corresponding food for the soldiers without a handy tool?"
Liu Zimo's words made Wang Shengli's mind tense.
Unlike Old Yu, Wang Shengli knew Liu Zimo's background.
As the personal bodyguard of General Wu, he had heard all the deep conversations between Wu Songyang and Liu Zimo. He knew that Liu Zimo's master was an extraordinary person who had awakened the ability of a prophet and had predicted many future events.
Like the arrival of the first monster disaster, the post "Self-Rescue Strategy for the End Times," and the "Guided Breathing Technique" and "Five Animal Fist"...
Now, Advisor Liu said that the kitchen staff would receive more flesh and blood from monsters at the golden body level and above in the future.
Doesn't that mean that there will be a large number of monsters at the golden body level and above appearing in the capital in the future?
Could it be that Advisor Liu suddenly returned this time to deal with the impending crisis?
If that's the case, won't the capital become even more dangerous in the future?
