Luo Nan didn't respond to Snake Tongue's polite and respectful attitude through Black Beetle. He leaned against the protective glass. His eyelids drooped, and his breathing was rapid. He gave people the feeling that he was growing weaker.
The four sides of the poison veil were truly fatal to a person with a terrible constitution like him. If he spoke a few more words under these circumstances, Snake Tongue wouldn't even need to increase her strength. He would collapse on his own.
"Lord Luo?" Snake Tongue still used a civilized and polite greeting. Aside from the irreparable flaw in her host's appearance, there was nothing to nitpick about.
Xue Lei couldn't stand this hypocrisy. He opened his mouth to ridicule, "No wonder your nickname has the word 'Tongue' in it. You really talk a lot of nonsense!"
"I'm truly sorry. I really can't think of anything else to do aside from talking."
Snake Tongue urged Black Beetle forward two steps. This made Xue Lei feel as if he was facing a great enemy. Black Beetle really wasn't much right now, but if the surrounding poison veil rolled a few more times, Luo Nan would most likely collapse. And this was the reason why Snake Tongue was neither fast nor slow.
Xue Lei gritted his teeth. Snake Tongue continued to speak, "I could have ended this situation much faster. But I'm ashamed that my cultivation isn't up to par. I can't guarantee that your wisdom and aura will be preserved completely. What kind of information you can leave behind will mostly depend on luck. This will have an extremely high chance of erasing Lord Luo's charismatic theory. It would be too much of a pity …. "
"Snake Tongue!" Puppeteer couldn't stand it any longer above Heavenly Ocean Lake. He looked at his watch once more to confirm the time.
Even if the Xia City police and Cloud City Water Village's security department were all trash, they would certainly have reacted by now. What's more, the Xia City branch was behind them. Now that they had finally gained the upper hand, they had to hurry up and put Luo Nan down and snatch him into their hands.
"Do your own thing well." Snake Tongue's voice directly rang in his ear. It was a warning that was neither light nor heavy.
And at this time, Luo Nan, who had been silent all this time, spoke, "You guys were asking about An Weng …. Isn't that off topic?"
"Idiot, you're still in the mood to chat? Shut up! Hold your breath! " Zhang Yingying was already driving at high speed in the metropolis. Her driving points for this year had already been deducted completely, and she still had to spend most of her effort. She was worried about this troublesome thing, and she really wanted to pull the steering wheel off.
"Nanster, listen to Sister Ying. Don't talk!" Xue Lei also wanted to stop Luo Nan from talking, but Luo Nan patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Black Beetle continued to act as a mouthpiece, helping Snake Tongue and Luo Nan realize the conversation. "From my standpoint, An Weng's whereabouts and the like can't move me as much as Lord Luo's theory."
"Thank you very much."
Luo Nan continued to speak in a weak voice: "So what you're saying is that we'll continue to discuss this topic until I'm knocked out by the poisonous mist … … Or until you finish constructing your fortifications?"
There was suddenly no sound on the viewing platform.
"Fortifications?" Regardless of whether it was Xue Lei, Zhang Yingying, or even Puppeteer, who was on the other side, they once again encountered a barrier to understanding. They were stunned for a time.
Snake Tongue probably felt the same way. Only after five whole seconds had passed did she speak through Black Beetle, but her tone was much heavier than before. "Lord Luo, have you been observing me this entire time?"
"I've been guessing at you."
Luo Nan's breathing gradually turned hurried. The minute amounts of poison that had seeped into his body were affecting him more and more clearly, but he still spoke. "I was thinking that, with your abilities, if you had acted together with Black Beetle and the others and caught me by surprise, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until now. But you didn't come. You just made a lampshade. It's better than nothing. It doesn't make sense for a great killing machine to be ordered around by a logistics personnel. "
"So …."
"So I guessed. Of course, I had the support of a certain person's intelligence. I thought that you must have come here in an out-of-body state. Admittedly, it's convenient, but it's also weak, especially when facing someone like me who specializes in sensing and mental attacks. Your personality should be more cautious and protective of your body. You haven't launched your final attack yet. Perhaps you're worried that you'll use too much strength and be detected by me. If I really do catch you, your defensive abilities will be inferior to Black Beetle and the others. "
Snake Tongue was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Has Lord Luo discovered my position?"
"I'm not too sure. So I'll listen to you. Let's chat some more?"
Snake Tongue didn't make a sound. She seemed to be muttering to herself as she pondered over her next move.
Xue Lei, Zhang Yingying, and Puppeteer were speechless for a time. So it turned out that there was another confrontation going on on the viewing platform, and they were completely unaware of it …. Even though Luo Nan had made it clear, they were still like this.
The gazes of Xue Lei and Puppeteer were all focused on Luo Nan's body, but they were unable to see any clues.
Luo Nan's complexion was still not too good. The protective glass behind him was curved, making it uncomfortable for him to lean against it. He laboriously adjusted his leaning posture, and when he finally felt a bit more comfortable, he extended two fingers and gestured.
A second passed, and Snake Tongue spoke through Black Beetle, "Lord Luo's meaning is …."
"To answer your question just now." Luo Nan seemed to be in the mood to talk. "You just asked me about the issue of my order frame. According to Black Beetle's evaluation standards, it contains two gears. One is large, and one is small. "
Luo Nan spoke simply, but the inner meaning was much more complicated.
Of the two gears, the large one was the Format Pyramid. It was represented by the external neuron and the soul strength stored within it. Xiu Shenyu called it an external technique during his lecture. He said that it was like an enormous iceberg, its laws strict.
The small one was the heart lantern of the eyes orifice. Luo Nan had made some progress in his ten days of cultivation. It was an extension of his skeletal system, but it was not mature enough. It could only be considered a sampan floating outside the iceberg.
The large and small gears had some sort of coupling relationship from the very beginning. Luo Nan channeled his soul strength from the Format Pyramid, causing the heart lantern of the eyes orifice to rapidly grow and strengthen. This was one of the reasons. The heart lantern of the eyes orifice and the Format Pyramid shared information. This was the second reason.
This was especially true for the latter. At the very beginning, Luo Nan's clairvoyance on both Black Beetle and Puppeteer's Life Sketches were obscured by a dense fog, forming interference. After the new coupling relationship took shape, it was like wind passing through a gap. Light illuminated the earth. Most of the dark clouds and turbid mist were swept away from the two's Life Sketches, and even the entire star river diagram. Layer upon layer was transparent, marvelous beyond compare.
It was impossible for Luo Nan to speak of these details. Rather than saying that he was discussing with Snake Tongue, it would be better to say that he was using the process of speaking to further sort out his thoughts, which were gradually taking shape.
Therefore, he didn't care whether or not Snake Tongue responded. He continued speaking, minding his own business. "My problem lies in the fact that the two gears aren't on the same order of magnitude. They are too close to each other. They lack a reasonable structure. Even if a coupling relationship is formed, wear and tear is hard to avoid."
He turned his face in the direction of the Heavenly Ocean Lake and laughed. He had clearly exposed his shortcomings, but this rare expression made Puppeteer's heart tremble with fear.
"A special structure is necessary to form a linkage between gears of enormous difference in mass. An intermediate link is necessary. It's like the devil ray. It's rampaging through the crystal pillar, killing countless people. Getting close to it is a dead end. But as long as it's a bit further away, many small fish and shrimps can rely on the food scraps left behind by the devil ray to live quite comfortably. "
Puppeteer subconsciously looked down at his feet. He only came to a realization when he was halfway there. This topic had gone way too far!
Even Snake Tongue was a bit unable to keep up with Luo Nan's rhythm. In the end, she could only let out an unclear sigh. "Lord Luo, when you use your unique way of thinking, it truly makes one revere you …. However, we are still mortals in essence. It's not a good thing to be too far away from the mortal plane."
Black Beetle suddenly took a step forward as he spoke.
Xue Lei didn't know how far the situation had developed, but his duty to protect Luo Nan would not change. He immediately bowed slightly, entering a fighting state.
Luo Nan paused the 'communication' that only he understood. His bloodshot eyes pointed at Black Beetle's ugly and deformed face, but in the end, he just swept a glance over it. Then he lowered his eyelids. "Didn't you want to discuss?"
"I'm very worried about Lord Luo's current situation."
Snake Tongue's concern was just like Black Beetle's face. All that was left was a shriveled and empty shell. As she spoke, the light green poison screen silently closed up toward the center. The range was very small, and it was extremely cautious.
Black Beetle also pushed forward. His speed wasn't fast, but his center of gravity shifted erratically at any time. It was seventy to eighty percent of Black Beetle's peak state.
Xue Lei had to pay attention to the poison screen and smoke, and he also had to lock onto Black Beetle. He also had to worry about Luo Nan's state. His mind was divided. It was truly exhausting.
Xue Lei heard the clear sound of Luo Nan's breathing behind him at this time. He was startled. He turned his head to look, ignoring Black Beetle's movements in front of him.
Black Beetle seemed to be stunned as well. He actually didn't take the opportunity to launch an attack.
Luo Nan didn't care about what the others were thinking. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He didn't avoid the toxic environment surrounded by the poison screen and smoke at all. He subconsciously moved his lower jaw during this process, waving away the numbness on his face.
"The main component of Black Beetle's Bug Explosion poison should be a polypeptide neurotoxin. The possibility of it being ISTX-3 is a bit higher. It is transmitted through the bloodstream and acts directly on ion channels. It possesses an extremely powerful paralyzing effect. However, Black Beetle has done a great deal of modulation in order to increase the efficiency of the effect. This has increased the possibility of respiratory tract infection, but it has also reduced the toxicity …. "
Luo Nan didn't even raise his eyes when he spoke to this point. He laughed, "Does this count as being on the secular level? Ms. Snake Tongue, we agreed to discuss this. It's not good for you to leave midway. "
Snake Tongue found it hard to conceal her astonishment. "Lord Luo has done research on neurotoxins?"
"I've taken a lot of medicine. I can resist it a bit."
That being said, Luo Nan would have been in big trouble today if he didn't have the foundation of the Container Format and the opening of the eyes orifice to stimulate the functions of the human body as a foundation. He definitely wouldn't be like he was right now, breathing out poisonous gas, scaring people, and playing around.
Luo Nan leaned against the protective glass and switched to a more comfortable position. He wouldn't tell Snake Tongue that half of his body was covered in numbness. He would tumble if he took a single step.
However, his nervous system was in an abnormal excited state due to the stimulation of the neurotoxin. This was what he needed the most right now.
