Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 251
Chapter 251: Even If We Die, We Have to Persevere!
Qin Hu sucked in a deep breath. Then, he snorted. He was so happy that he even made a bubble through his nose.
“I didn’t expect that even though I’m a middle-aged man, there would come a day when I would run into a legendary blessing!” He slapped his thigh with happiness.
“Don’t be too happy just yet. We have to seal up the hole and the other cracks on the wall,” Lu Siya said. “This wall isn’t too thick, and the rock is very weak. Otherwise, Meng Chao would not have been able to knock it down so quickly just now.
“Soon, the rampaging spirit energy will rush here. If it enters through the hole or knocks down a wall, it will crush us and we will still end up reduced to ashes.
“We have to use these Blue Origin Crystals to seal up the hole so that the Red Radiance Jades’ spirit energy will shine on us through a large amount of Blue Origin Crystals. Then, there will be a certain chance that it will turn into absorbable energy that will give us life!”
“I’ll do it!”
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and used his Surging Lightning as a crowbar to dig out the blue crystal clusters.
A few of the crystals let out cracking sounds and fell off.
Qin Hu and Lu Siya joined him in a flurry and they pushed the Blue Origin Crystals to the cracks in the walls.
Meng Chao repeated his actions and uprooted a few more Blue Origin Crystal clusters. The three of them worked together and gradually sealed up the main hole.
Lu Siya pressed her hand on the Blue Origin Crystals and mumbled under her breath. Spirit tattoos spread out on her forehead. The Blue Origin Crystals in front of her drew closer together and gathered into a crystal wall.
She swayed and coughed up blood.
“My spirit energy is already dried up,” she said with a pale face. “This crystal wall isn’t too sturdy. It has fine cracks. There’s still a possibility that the Red Radiance Jade’s spirit energy tsunami will knock it down.”
“Then what should we do?” Qin Hu asked anxiously.
“We have to hold it up.” Lu Siya turned around and used her thin back to push against the Blue Origin Crystals. “We hold it back like this!”
At that moment, they could see red light through the blue crystal wall. It was like an aquatic dragon baring its teeth while getting closer to them.
They could hear the sounds of a volcano eruption and waves crashing against rocks.
Their vitality magnetic fields stimulated their cells and let out pained screeches.
Meng Chao and Qin Hu moved forward quickly and imitated Lu Siya. They used their shoulders and backs to push against the Blue Origin Crystals.
“We’ll definitely survive!” Meng Chao motivated the other two.
‘In my previous life, Qin Hu was alone. He didn’t have any mine explorer helping him to strengthen the crystal wall, so at best, he could only stack the Blue Origin Crystals in the hole randomly, and he still managed to survive the invasion of the spirit energy tsunami. He even got a blessing from it and reached Heaven Realm.
‘Now, there are three of us, and we have a mine explorer who knows the structure of crystals, so there’s no way we would be reduced to ashes.’
But when he thought about it, it didn’t sound right.
The largest difference between this life and his previous life was that now, they were gravely injured, and their spirit energy had dried up.
Based on Qin Hu’s sleazy personality despite his boorish appearance, he had most likely never got into a conflict with Lin Chuan and the White Spirit, so he had escaped to this place while unharmed.
He was at the peak of Earth Realm and had monstrous strength. His physical body was like refined iron, so he could withstand the impact of the spirit energy tsunami. Even if a few wisps of spirit flames crawled in through the crack, he could grit his teeth and endure it.
After he withstood the battering of spirit flames, his body was refined into steel.
In their current situation, how could they possibly compete against the Qin Hu of Meng Chao’s previous life? After all, that man had been at the peak of Earth Realm and at the peak of his health.
As they were feeling uneasy, the volcano eruption and the raging wave outside turned into a shocking thunderous roar.
The tsunami formed by magma launched its final charge at them.
“It’s here!” Lu Siya said sternly. “We have to block it! Even if we die, we have to block it!”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Lu, for that 15% of profit from the first mining rights, I will definitely help you block it!” Qin Hu shouted with his eyes wide.
Boom!
Hidden within the Red Radiance Jades was a spirit energy tsunami that had been accumulating for billions of years. It surged at them through the winding underground crack and rammed heavily against the wall formed by Blue Origin Crystals.
The three humans were deafened by a thunderous roar.
But even if their ears could not hear for a moment, the impact wave seeped through the crystal wall and rammed against their cerebral cortexes, brains, bladder, and all the cells.
The shock was so great that they felt as if their heads had split up. Their hearts thundered, and they could not help but start peeing. Each of their cells started vibrating rapidly.
The millions of shades of red from the Red Radiance Jades and the millions of shades of blue from the Blue Origin Crystals intersected with each other, and it looked like a red army was fighting to the death with a blue army.
The red light was like blood as it seeped in. Soon, it occupied the entire Blue Origin Crystal cave.
When red was mixed with blue, it should turn into purple.
But natural crystal caves never only had one single type of crystal. There were always a lot of other crystals mixed in, and among them were small bits of rare crystals.
The resonance of Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals caused these crystals to vibrate, and the small cave filled with red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, and purple lights. It was like a rainbow-colored ocean.
The different shades of light shone on the group. Then, through their pores, they even permeated into their skin. They charged into them eagerly and illuminated their organs, blood, bones, and every single one of their cells. It occasionally gave them a comfortable feeling, as if they were wrapped up in a warm blanket, but at other times, they felt like their skin was cracking. Their blood boiled, and their bones were about to be burnt dry.
Sometimes, they could not even breathe, because their lungs shrank to the size of two very small ping pong balls, and sometimes, they felt like countless strange underground gases had seeped into their chests through their noses and their lungs were about to burst.
“I… can’t block it anymore!”
With a scream, Qin Hu was sent flying when the impact wave formed by the spirit energy tsunami of the Red Radiance Jades crashed into him through the crystal wall.
Craaaaack!
With one less person pushing holding it, the crystal wall cracked in a dozen places. The spirit energy from the Red Radiance Jades crawled in through the cracks like the tongues of flame monsters and licked at Meng Chao and Lu Siya’s spines.
Lu Siya grunted and fell on the ground limply.
More cracks appeared on the crystal wall. Hundreds of spirit flames crawled in through the cracks and tore at Meng Chao’s body.
Qin Hu and Lu Siya’s eyes were filled with despair.
They could already see Meng Chao being sent flying and the crystal wall collapsing the next second. Then, the spirit energy tsunami would turn the small cave into a furnace that would burn everything inside.
But…
‘Initial Stage Healing Skill, exchange!
‘Intermediate Stage Healing Skill, exchange!
‘Initial Stage Healing Skill, exchange!’
Meng Chao was shouting madly in his mind.
The contribution points he had been accumulating for months were all exchanged for the mysterious and powerful self-regeneration abilities.
Whenever the spirit energy tsunami left a tear in the depths of his cell, new flesh pounced on the tear, just like a warrior who would sacrifice themselves to block a dam when a flood was about to charge through the cracks in it.
The biggest obstacle when it came to using contribution points to repair the body was in the usage of energy.
If Meng Chao did not eat enough high-calorie food and did not have enough energy but forced his body to repair itself, he would end up starving to death.
But now, he was receiving an endless supply of energy from the Red Radiance Jades, Blue Origin Crystals, and the slight amounts of other crystals.
The unstoppable spirit flames continued destroying his body, but as Kindling exchanged his contribution points for healing, they became the source his body used to renew itself.
All his blood vessels, bones, organs, nerve bundles, and spirit meridians were repeatedly damaged and regenerated. They were refined until they were improving from their essence itself.
“He… can actually block it?”
Qin Hu and Lu Siya looked at Meng Chao in disbelief.
They saw how the rampaging spirit energy shot through the blue crystal wall and rammed against his spine and organs, but he still blocked it alone and did not fall. He persevered while holding back the invasion of the wave.
The seven-colored light that was mainly made of red and blue shone on him, enveloped him, permeated into his skin, and nourished him. Meng Chao’s body gradually gained a crystalline quality, as if he was about to fuse with the crystal wall behind him and become one with the crystal mine and the spirit energy tsunami.
“This is…”
His 1,024 branch meridians could be seen clearly under the semi-transparent state of his skin.
After the energy of the Red Radiance Jades was neutralized by the Blue Origin Crystals, it became much more stable and started circulating through the 1,024 branch meridians, which gave his organs, bones, and muscle fibers a crystalized effect.
“His branch meridians have become really thick after the spirit energy that’s formed by the resonance of the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals circulated in him. They’re now as thick as a normal superhuman’s main meridians!”
Qin Hu and Lu Siya looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other’s eyes.
It was well known that superhumans had 108 main meridians and 1,024 branch meridians.
Cultivation theories of the past believed that the volume runoff and strength of the branch meridians could never reach even one-tenth of the main meridians. When spirit energy circulated through the branch meridians, it could only do so slowly, so the branch meridians were used for support-class work. It was very difficult to use them for battle.
The stimulation from the Ultimate Style could increase the volume runoff and strength of branch meridians by more than 100%, which meant the practitioners could use branch meridians in battle, but it was very difficult for them to use branch meridians to create spirit energy magnetic fields and release ultimate moves that could plow through everything in their wake.
But the current volume runoff and strength of Meng Chao’s branch meridians seemed to be twice as strong as before, and that was based on the basis that he practiced the Ultimate Style. They now had one-third of the main meridians’s strength, or even more.
His branch meridians were at least one-third or half as strong as main meridians.
But he had nearly ten times more branch meridians than main meridians.
Besides, as his branch meridians were strengthened, the dozens of main meridians in his body also received incredibly great stimulation.
In fact, a dragon meridian that went through his body from his spine received the most severe impact and the greatest refinement because Meng Chao used his spine to block the crystal wall. It was gradually awakened and started shining, which made him look like a huge dragon who had gained enlightenment in hell and slaughtered his way back to the human world!
“Some of his spirit meridians are showing a crystalized quality, so he can take in even stronger spirit energy, which will allow him to circulate his spirit energy at even higher speeds and even nourish his organs. This will allow part of his organs to go through superhuman changes. This is the sign of a two-star superhuman at Spirit Transformation Realm!”
Qin Hu felt his skin crawl. He could not believe his own eyes. “This brat awakened a few months ago in the practical test of the national college exam as a mere one-star superhuman. He was even a broken-star superhuman whose main meridians had shrivelled up.
“Only a few months passed since then, and he managed to become a two-star superhuman?”
