Chapter 267 A Better Future
Zhang Liang travels through the bustling city, closely followed by an elite guard dog and an advanced mechanical rhino security robot.
"After staying in this city for so long, have you noticed anything different here?" Zhang Liang asked the guard dog beside him.
"I have been guarding here since it was activated. The energy here is indeed very powerful, but I can't figure out its mystery." The robot dog responded.
Zhang Liang nodded slightly, "Have you ever checked the bottom of this energy pool?"
The guard dog shook his head and said, "I have tried it before, but I always felt that there were unknown dangers deep inside that might threaten the security of my system, so I never explored it in depth."
Zhang Liang thought for a moment and ordered: "You two stay here to protect, I will go to the bottom to take a look. If there are any living creatures approaching, try to stop them. If the power is too strong, you can evacuate and don't worry about me."
After saying that, Zhang Liang stepped into the energy pool. The water in the pool was similar in color to lava, and he struggled to dive down. The deeper he went, the denser the energy became, but he also felt a potential murderous intent.
Cautiously sliding toward the bottom of the pool, the water was deep and dim, but with his extraordinary visual system, Zhang Liang caught a glimpse of light flickering under the water.
Zhang Liang swam towards the light source. At this moment, he keenly sensed a hint of danger and turned around immediately, only to see a mechanical snake covered with flame patterns approaching rapidly from behind him.
Zhang Liang stretched out his claws and struck. Although he did not activate his bloodline power, he was still able to react quickly thanks to his built-in defense mechanism. His claws hit the snake's head, but the sturdy mechanical tiger claws did not leave any marks on the snake.
The mechanical snake was obviously feeling pain and was more flexible in the water than Zhang Liang, so it wrapped itself around Zhang Liang's mechanical torso.
Zhang Liang knew that he couldn't get entangled, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. He tore the snake's body with his sharp tiger claws, and then bit the snake's head.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Liang and the mechanical snake bit each other. The snake bit Zhang Liang's shoulder, and Zhang Liang bit the snake's neck. In the end, Zhang Liang used his powerful body to kill the mechanical snake. But the snake's venom had already penetrated his mechanical torso.
After getting rid of the snake, Zhang Liang continued to swim towards the glowing light. As he gradually approached the light source, he saw clearly that it was a tiny electronic grass rooted at the bottom of the energy pool.
It emitted a soft white light, and Zhang Liang knew it must be a rare high-tech treasure. He gently pulled up the grass and was about to return.
Suddenly, he noticed a problem. After picking the grass, the surrounding energy did not weaken. Zhang Liang turned around to search, but found nothing.
He carefully examined the grass in his hand and found something unusual at its roots - red liquid, like blood.
Zhang Liang put away the grass and returned it to where it originally grew. He dug up the soil and found a silver-white bone buried underneath.
Just as Zhang Liang was about to reach out and touch it, a wave of energy suddenly released from the bone. Instantly, the image of a huge and mighty lion appeared before his eyes.
It was just an image, but Zhang Liang could still feel the lion's fearless aura. This bone was most likely the remains of a lion.
The energy fluctuations from the lion only caused Zhang Liang to retreat slightly, but did not cause any substantial damage. Zhang Liang quickly dug out the lion's bones from the soil. The bones emitted a silvery-white light, showing that they were extraordinary.
This lion may have been a ruling being in his lifetime. Holding the bone, Zhang Liang felt that the energy around him was gradually fading. The energy over the years may have come from this bone.
Soon, Zhang Liang broke out of the water, and the Rhino security robot and guard dog waiting nearby immediately noticed the loss of energy in the fire pool. The guard dog showed regret in his eyes.
Seeing Zhang Liang coming ashore, they asked cautiously: "Did you find any treasure? Let us see it."
Zhang Liang nodded, and then took out the grass. When the rhino robot saw it, it shouted in surprise: "Dragon Spirit Holy Grass, it's impossible, how can it grow here? This goes against common sense!"
"Do you recognize this?" Zhang Liang asked.
The rhino robot nodded, "From the appearance, it should be the Dragon Spirit Holy Grass, but this is not logical, this grass cannot survive in this environment. Can I take a closer look?"
Zhang Liang nodded and handed the grass to the rhino. He was not worried about being taken away. Although he had turned into a mechanical form, the nobility in his blood made him feel his extraordinary origin.
The Rhino robot held the grass and observed it carefully. After a while, it reluctantly returned the grass to Zhang Liang, "It is really the Dragon Spirit Holy Grass. Both its appearance and the energy it emits prove its identity."
“What is the effect of this grass?”
The Rhino robot took a deep breath and replied, "Although it is not as good as the most advanced technological treasures, it is already a rare spiritual device."
Zhang Liang nodded. Since this grass is so precious, the bones that give it energy must be even rarer. He did not take out the bones. Although he did not need to be afraid of his current strength, there might be someone who was beyond his ability.
"From today on, both of you will follow me. What do you think? I don't think you want to stay here forever. There are many beings around you who are more powerful than you. Maybe one day you will become their target."
The two of them thought carefully about Zhang Liang's proposal and finally nodded in agreement. Perhaps following Zhang Liang would lead to a better future.
