Xue Lei's worry was justified.
The smooth and soft back was not easy to stand on, and Luo Nan was very weak right now. If Xue Lei had not supported him, Luo Nan would have been swung off the moment his other foot left the ground.
Luo Nan had no intention of giving up halfway. He took a deep breath, and lightning flashed in his eyes once more. The marvelous coupling power of the big and small gears penetrated through his body. It was like the stimulation of an electric shock cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The pores of his entire body opened up, and a numbing heat wrapped around him. The heat was dense and undissipated in a small circle inside and outside his body.
"Huh?"
Xue Lei was caught off guard by the feeling of electricity passing through his palm. He let go by reflex, but his reaction was top-notch. He extended his hand to support Luo Nan, but Luo Nan exerted force with his left foot, which was on the edge of the devil ray's back. He stepped out and truly stood on the flat body of the devil ray.
The devil ray was not quite used to it. The amplitude of the undulations of its body suddenly increased, and Luo Nan's body involuntarily leaned forward. But under the coupling effect of the heart lantern of the eyes orifice, it shone at the right time. Lines filled with foresight were laid out. It was like an incorporeal spider web was laid out on the devil ray's back.
The marvelous stickiness, the corresponding sense of balance between Luo Nan and the devil ray, rapidly increased.
Luo Nan's own predictions, his control over the devil ghost fish, and the information sharing mode formed by the coupling of the large and small gears allowed Luo Nan's foresight to penetrate deep into every corner of the devil ghost fish's body. Even the changes in its emotions could be seen.
His heart lantern of the eyes orifice had yet to truly reach maturity, but the changes that came from the coupling had already exceeded the limits of the heart lantern of the eyes orifice. Gym Master Xiu spoke of a heart lantern, a candle illuminating the nine hells. Luo Nan had yet to see the nine hells, but he was not inferior to Gym Master Xiu in the heart abyss.
Aside from the separation of skin and flesh, Luo Nan and the devil ray could be said to be one body. They existed around Luo Nan's will.
Under this state, Luo Nan took a step, and the force of his body leaning forward was eliminated. He swayed slightly, and he grasped balance. He seemed to be in danger, but he was actually stable.
The devil ray beneath him rippled endlessly. Luo Nan thought for a bit and simply stopped moving. The vibrations of the flat body of the devil ray beneath him increased in amplitude, and Luo Nan intentionally controlled the mode. Luo Nan stepped on the rippling body and moved forward smoothly, all the way to the front of the head of the devil ray.
His thoughts stirred slightly, and the two long fins of the devil ray flipped over. These things were originally used by the devil ray to assist in hunting. Right now, Luo Nan was using them as handrails. He borrowed strength to stand steadily atop the devil ray's enormous body.
The devil ray felt a bit awkward being gripped by Luo Nan's head-fins. But right now, it was intimidated by Luo Nan's gloomy thundercloud-like emotions. The actions of its enormous body were naturally influenced by those emotions. The frequency at which its pectoral fins and wings flapped increased by quite a bit.
"Nanster, don't be rash!" Xue Lei wanted to jump up as well, but this would instantly break the balance between Luo Nan and the devil ray. It would be much more difficult to adjust. Therefore, the devil ray shook its body in a very unfriendly manner and floated up, not giving Luo Nan a chance.
Xue Lei was both anxious and angry. He looked at where Luo Nan's gaze was pointing, and he saw that Luo Nan had cast his gaze toward the forest behind the Curtain of Darkness. How could he not know what his best friend was thinking? Xue Lei immediately said, "Hey, hey," but his mouth was clumsy at this time. He was unable to speak a reason, so he could only ask Zhang Yingying for help.
"Hurry up and persuade Nanster. He wants to ride the fish and fly over …."
"Huh?"
The series of unforeseen events happened far too quickly, and most of the key segments occurred on the mental plane. Zhang Yingying wasn't too clear about the changes in the situation on the viewing platform. She just felt that there was something wrong with her ears, or that Xue Lei's mouth was cramping.
Luo Nan actually took the initiative to contact her just as she was confused. "Give me information on Tank."
"Tank? I say, you …. "
"Immediately!"
Luo Nan's voice wasn't loud, but it was so heavy that it made one's heart flutter. Zhang Yingying felt inexplicably weak. She mumbled, "That fellow's physical qualities are excellent. His hard body skills are especially outstanding. He can temporarily increase his defensive power. That's all."
"Strong defensive power, huh?" Luo Nan looked as if he understood something.
"What's going on over there? Hey, Luo Nan, you …. Oops! "
Before Zhang Yingying could finish speaking, a terrifying deep howl rumbled over from the other side. Her heart suddenly clenched, and she felt her blood sink. Her brain went dizzy, and her entire body felt bad. She practically cut off the communication by reflex. Her body felt better this way, but when she came to her senses, she could only look at the disconnected communication display and slap her head.
On the viewing platform, the devil ray rose seven to eight meters into the air. It suddenly opened its enormous mouth, and at the same time, its lower abdomen had two rows and four rows. A total of eight cracks opened up. This was where the gills of a normal devil ray should be. However, after the mutation, there were already some mutations. Right now, traces of the flesh and blood of the fish in the crystal pillar still remained on the gills. The vicious aura of a mutant was displayed to the fullest.
A low frequency howl rang out from the gap between its enormous mouth and its gills.
The deep howl spread in all directions under the push of the enormous sound pressure. It was like a heavy train passing by, rumbling and vibrating. It caused every frame structure and protective glass on the viewing platform to tremble violently. It was like an earthquake had just happened.
However, this deep howl only lasted for less than five seconds before the platform suddenly went silent. It did not stop, but the frequency of the sound waves had already sunk below the boundary of 20Hz, entering the domain of infrasonic waves.
The sound waves conducted in the air did not directly affect Snake Tongue, but they still left her stunned.
Infrasonic waves had powerful penetrative power, and they transmitted information accurately. Many life forms in the ocean used them to sense danger and determine direction. However, it was relatively rare to see a mutant that could actively emit powerful infrasonic waves.
In theory, the devil ray was an enormous mutant. Its pure fleshly strength was already close to A-rank, and its fleshly body was flexible and tough. As long as it was used properly, it could use its empty cavity to emit sound. High and low frequencies were not difficult. It was understandable.
The crux of the matter was how it was used. Perhaps the devil ray possessed the physical conditions to release shockingly powerful infrasound waves, but this was definitely not its innate ability. Even after it had mutated, it was still the same. Otherwise, its method of hunting for food would have undergone an astonishing change. The management of Cloud City Water Village would not have placed such a dangerous creature in the crystal pillar.
In other words, after Luo Nan controlled the devil ray, he reshuffled the application of its power.
How did Luo Nan do this? And what was he using infrasonic waves for?
Several questions piled up one after another, merging with the ominous dark clouds in front of her. It made Snake Tongue feel worse and worse. Her train of thought was inevitably affected by the successive changes, and she began to deviate.
But at this moment, a substantial psychic pressure arrived, making her mind shiver.
A floating "curtain" was set up on the viewing platform. For the sake of making sounds, the devil ray's enormous body was nearly upright at a ninety degree angle. Even so, the muscles of its back formed a depression, providing Luo Nan with a fulcrum to maintain balance.
Luo Nan held the fin in his hand. Visually, he was still a head taller than this enormous creature. Their relative height exceeded ten meters. He looked down from high above, like a god controlling a gremlin, overlooking the location of Snake Tongue's soul body.
Luo Nan's eyes were still glistening with blood, but the dazzling lightning never extinguished. A different kind of chill seeped through the splendid radiance.
Snake Tongue's mind stirred, but the arrogance within her did not allow her to continue to be controlled by others. She immediately adjusted the sound of the wind and laughed softly, "Lord Luo, the winds are strong at high altitudes. You must be careful. Or perhaps you need my help in negotiating with Tank... "
She suddenly cut herself off halfway through her words.
The high-pitched and suppressed infrasound didn't directly destroy Snake Tongue's vocal spell. But after a period of time, she adjusted it to the most suitable frequency, and a change followed.
On the viewing platform, the tourists that Luo Nan had cleared out earlier still had muddled consciousnesses, but they groaned and struggled in a daze. It was as if they were having nightmares.
Snake Tongue finally figured out the true target of the infrasound... The carrier of her Nightmare Vine Spell was suffering from the impact of the infrasound, forming a dangerous resonance in the heart and lungs.
Was it going to kill indiscriminately?
The Nightmare Vine Spell was built on a human carrier. If the entire group of people died, the spell would naturally dissolve and disintegrate. But Snake Tongue had analyzed Luo Nan's personality. She didn't believe that this half-grown child would have the courage to wipe out several dozen... no, hundreds and thousands of lives in one fell swoop.
It must be known that the penetrative power of infrasound was very strong. If one really found the correct frequency, then the enormous sound pressure of the Mutant devil ray, supported by its near-A-rank power, would sweep through the viewing platform. The ordinary people on the dozens of floors above and below would probably all die!
But looking at Luo Nan's posture... Could it be that the destruction of his mother's work had stimulated Luo Nan to the point of losing his rationality? Snake Tongue really didn't dare to confirm this as she looked at the bloody light and interweaving lightning and fire in his eyes.
A second passed, or maybe even less, before she suddenly heard Luo Nan speak. "I shouldn't waste time on you, but I need to practice..."
Luo Nan's straightforward narration was devoid of emotion. It displayed that Luo Nan still retained his rationality, but this bit of rational strength was unable to wrap around the restless killing intent within.
Snake Tongue didn't understand what he meant by practice, but she soon discovered that Luo Nan had excellent control over the infrasound, whether it was in the intensity of the sound pressure or the range of influence.
Luo Nan used a technique that Snake Tongue was completely unable to understand. Separated by a layer of devil ray, he realized this precise operation. This caused several dozen people to walk on the line between life and death, but they didn't collide with the line.
Soon, the effects of this technique manifested.
The resonance of the heart and lungs wasn't fatal, but it caused the blood and energy of the unconscious people to roil. It affected their nervous system functions, causing all sorts of discomfort. This resulted in chaotic thoughts and a terrible unstable state of mind while they were unconscious.
Snake Tongue cried out to herself that this was bad. The main functions of the fortifications formed by the Nightmare Vine Spell were to divert and suck blood. The latter, in particular, required a powerful external force to stimulate the potential of the target. Then the potential was extracted to strengthen the spell.
However, Luo Nan's actions had turned the blood and energy of the person into a mess. What potential was there left? One or two wasn't a big deal, but several dozen people were all like this. Even a curse master like Snake Tongue would find it hard to control them in a short amount of time.
