Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 371 The Power of Technology

"you!"

Ji Ziyue put her hands on her hips, her eyebrows furrowed, and glared angrily at Ye Fan in front of her, saying, "Hey you little brat, we're sworn brothers who went through life and death together in the Bronze Immortal Palace, can't you be a little more polite?"

"of course can!"

Ye Fan glanced at her and said noncommittally, "As long as you stop staring at my Xuanhuang Qi and stop clamoring for a share every time you give me a nice look!"

"That won't do!"

Ji Ziyue said matter-of-factly, "As the saying goes, we share joys and sorrows. We've already shared the sorrows, so of course we should share the joys. Besides, I was the one who discovered the Xuanhuang Qi first. If it weren't for your favoritism, senior..."

At this point, she suddenly paused, looking around curiously, and asked, "Where is the senior?"

"Given his personality, he would usually come out for a walk around this time of year, right?"

The senior member is gone; he's now the admin of the chat group!
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but mentally complain.

However, this is definitely something that cannot be told to Ji Ziyue.

So he turned around, smiling as he changed the subject, saying, "Actually, it's not that I can't give you some, but you have to exchange it for the ancient scripture I didn't finish explaining last time..."

Upon hearing the first sentence, Ji Ziyue's face lit up with joy, her attention successfully diverted.

But upon hearing the last sentence, her pretty face fell, and she grumbled, "You're eyeing my ancient scriptures again, you little brat. You're so opportunistic. Can't you be a little more genuine and use the Xuanhuang Qi as a symbol of our friendship?"

Ye Fan nodded and said, "That makes sense, but I feel that the Xuanhuang Qi is not precious enough. At least it should be the Void Ancient Scripture to be worthy of our friendship, right?"

Ji Ziyue complained, "He's completely unresponsive!"

Ye Fan retorted without backing down, "Same to you!"

Just as Ji Ziyue parted her red lips, intending to continue arguing with Ye Fan to kill time, her expression suddenly changed slightly, and her beautiful eyes stared intently at a spot not far behind Ye Fan.

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow and immediately turned his head to look. He saw a small bird, as green as jade and as if carved from emerald, appearing on the blue stone on the shore of the underground lake.

A pair of crimson eyes, like rubies, stared intently at the two of them.

"Quick, grab it!"

Ji Ziyue cried out in alarm.

But for some reason, Ye Fan, who was standing nearby, did not make a move.

Instead, the little green bird seemed to be startled by her. With a flap of its wings, it transformed into a streak of green light and sped away at an exaggerated speed.

Seeing this, Ji Ziyue was both shocked and angry. She couldn't help but look at Ye Fan beside her and said urgently:
"Hey kid, what are you doing—"

"call out--"

Before she could finish speaking, a beam of sky-blue particle light flashed past her eyes, catching up with the emerald green bird and instantly blasting it into a shower of fluorescent light.

Upon seeing this, Ji Ziyue stopped speaking abruptly and stared blankly at Ye Fan.

Following her gaze, one could see Ye Fan holding a strangely shaped blue spear, his right eye pressed against the odd lens on the spear, muttering with a sense of wonder:

"Power adjustment, automatic target acquisition, beam tracking..."

Is this the power of technology?

After a moment of reflection, he lowered the energy rifle from his hand, slung it over his shoulder, and glanced calmly at Ji Ziyue beside him, saying:
"Don't rush, let the bullets fly a little longer!"

"..."

Ji Ziyue snapped out of her daze and stared in astonishment at the weapon on Ye Fan's shoulder:
"what is this?"

"A local specialty, made specifically for bird hunting!"

Ye Fan gave a perfunctory reply, then lowered the high-energy particle beam sniper rifle in his hand, stroking the metallic gun body with obvious affection.

This thing was originally just a collectible he bought on a whim, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

The shot that just blasted the Azure Bird was only at the lowest power level. If it were at full power, even his current Holy Body would probably have a hard time withstanding it!

"As expected, anything from the Exotic Treasure Pavilion is bound to be of the highest quality!"

As Ye Fan sighed inwardly, he put the gun into his storage ring.

Cultivators in this world can store items in their inner secret realms. For example, Ye Fan had previously obtained various magical artifacts and spiritual treasures, which he stored in the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

However, the Sea of ​​Bitterness is, after all, part of a cultivator's body, and it's impossible to put just anything into it.

That's why Ye Fan bought an extra storage ring, specifically for storing sophisticated technological items or dangerous, one-time-use items like the Crimson Lotus Pulse Grenade.

After doing all this, Ye Fan turned to look at Ji Ziyue and asked, knowing the answer already:

"what happened?"

"What is the origin of this bird, and why does it frighten you so much?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue's surprise immediately turned into panic.

She quickly said, "It's one of my cousin's many pets, furry boy, please release the restraints on me, otherwise we'll both be in danger!"

"Huh?" Ye Fan feigned surprise. "Isn't she your cousin?"

Ji Ziyue said somewhat anxiously, "You don't understand, I..."

"Giggle!"

Before he could finish speaking, a series of clear and melodious laughs came from ahead. Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, calmly placed two grenades in his palms, and turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.

A beautiful woman in a green dress flew over and hovered above the lake, looking down at the young boy and girl below, and chuckled:
"Miss Ziyue, I never expected to meet you here!"

"……It's you?"

Ji Ziyue's heart tightened, but she remained outwardly calm and casually asked, "Ji Xia, why aren't you serving Sister Biyue? What are you doing here?"

"Could it be... that Sister Biyue has come too?"

Ji Xia chuckled and said, "Miss has never been here before. I was just passing by on my way and happened to see you!"

As she spoke, she landed by the lake, observing Ji Ziyue's condition while smiling as she approached.

"Miss Ziyue, you seem to be unwell. You look unsteady on your feet, as if your divine power is suppressed. Should I help you and remove the restrictions on you?"

"Be bold!"

Ji Ziyue's eyebrows shot up, and she shouted angrily, "How dare you, a mere servant, be so insolent in front of me!"

"Once we return to the clan, I will definitely file a complaint against you before the elders and have Sister Biyue expel you from the family!"

Upon hearing Ji Ziyue's fierce shout, Ji Xia paused in her tracks.

Taking this opportunity, Ji Ziyue quickly transmitted her voice to Ye Fan: "Ji Xia is a cultivator from the Other Shore, and her realm is one level higher than yours, but she is far inferior to you in terms of physical strength. As long as you can find an opportunity for close combat, you will definitely be able to defeat her despite being of a higher realm."

"Of course, if you're not confident, you can lift the restriction and I'll deal with her..."

Ye Fan glanced behind Ji Xia, shook his head, and said, "It's not that simple!"

Before she finished speaking, two streaks of light shot out from behind Ji Xia, transforming into two cultivators from the Other Shore clad in gray robes.

"As expected, the plot has gone awry..."

Ye Fan thought to himself, clearly not surprised.

In fact, he would have found it strange if only Ji Xia had come.

After all, before coming here, Ji Xia was unaware of Ji Ziyue's current situation, let alone knowing that Ji Ziyue's cultivation had been restricted by Ye Fan.

Without being restrained by any restrictions, Ji Ziyue's combat strength already surpassed that of Ji Xia.

How could a mere cultivator from the Other Shore possibly defeat this proud daughter of heaven who possesses a primordial spirit body?

At the same time, seeing the two helpers flying in from behind, Ji Xia felt relieved and her expression became more relaxed.

However, out of caution, she still turned her gaze to Ye Fan beside her and tentatively asked with a smile:
"Little guy, judging from your divine power fluctuations, you're only at the Divine Bridge Realm. How could you possibly capture Miss Ziyue?"

Ye Fan snorted coldly and said without any politeness, "What's it to you?"

Ji Xia's smile froze, then her face darkened, and she looked at Ye Fan coldly, saying, "So you're so fearless, there must be a third person here. He's the one who captured Miss, and you're just here to watch over her, right?"

Ye Fan remained noncommittal, but Ji Ziyue's eyes lit up.

Yes, how could she forget?

Ye Fan has a powerful little green bronze man inside him!
Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to say, "That's right, the one who captured me was indeed someone else, and he was a peerless expert with great supernatural powers, wisdom, martial prowess, and unparalleled handsomeness!"

"Ji Xia, if you dare to lay a hand on me, once this senior arrives, I will unleash my full power and crush you three ants of the Other Shore Realm to death!"

Upon hearing Ji Ziyue's arrogant words, Ye Fan couldn't help but show a strange expression.

It has to be said that this girl already has a pretty good understanding of Lin Yu's personality.

If Lin Yu heard these flattering words, he would surely be pleased and help out of the predicament.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu had already returned, and no matter how sweet her praise was, she couldn't summon him back!

"is it?"

Ji Xia remained noncommittal on the surface, but subconsciously became wary.

Just then, another beam of light flew from behind Ye Fan and his companion, transforming into a third gray-robed cultivator who smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Ji Xia below:
"I have already investigated this underground lake as instructed. Within a radius of dozens of miles, there are only the two of them. There is absolutely no third person!"

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xia finally lowered her guard, burst into laughter, and looked at Ji Ziyue with a mocking gaze, saying:

"Blustering, borrowing the tiger's might..."

"Miss Ziyue, it seems you've truly reached the end of your rope!"

"Pah!" Ji Ziyue spat, her face full of disdain, "A mere cultivator from the Other Shore, dares to investigate a senior like yourself?"

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Ye Fan beside her impatiently, saying, "Quick, kid, call out the seniors and let them see what they've got!"

Still a senior!

Ye Fan rolled his eyes and ignored Ji Ziyue's words.

Ji Ziyue was taken aback when she saw this, and finally realized that something was wrong. Her tone also carried a hint of panic.

"Hey kid, what do you mean?"

"Where's senior?"

"Could he really not be here?"
