Volume 1 Parasitic Species Spread Everywhere 06.Dark Tide Surging (6)
Kiulownia stands in front of a dense bamboo forest.
Because Lu Ling's body "has not yet recovered to the best state", Tong Ye's work as a servant during this time can be put aside for a while.
Previously, Tong Ye asked Lu Ling who would do the work of demon hunting, and Lu Ling said that Juli was solely responsible for this time. Thus, the "holiday" of Kiriba began. Of course, this holiday is only for "servants", and the usual part-time job in a fast food restaurant is still going on as usual, but it can be regarded as returning to a relatively idle state. He was still a little uncomfortable, but his free days meant that he had more energy to think about.
As for the spell, Kiripa has been practicing alone, and since he barely killed the demon that day, Kiripa also began to try to hunt the demon by himself. Although at the beginning, he still encountered dangers, but in the end, most of them completed the demon hunt without danger, and the actual combat during this period of time also made great progress in his fire and wind skills.
Kiripa stopped thinking nonsense, he stood in the bamboo forest, the wind pulsating at his fingertips, and now he could control a certain amount of wind magic, which meant that he could perform the most basic detection techniques.
As the wind spreads, the surrounding environment becomes clearer.
Not long after entering the bamboo forest, he found a decomposing corpse, judging from the wounds on the corpse and the torn clothes, the deceased was most likely the host of the parasitic species. He sighed, burned the body with flames, and did a simple cremation for the deceased, and after the body was completely reduced to ashes, he used the wind to blow away the ashes and the unpleasant smell in the air.
After disposing of the host's corpse, he continued to move towards the depths of the bamboo forest, and soon he smelled a faint stench in the wind, and he knew that the demon might be nearby, so he slowed down his walk.
The bamboo forest rustled in the wind, and Kiriba carefully discerned some of the slight sounds contained in it, and suddenly, he turned his gaze to the side, and his body had already subconsciously jumped to the side.
The demon jumped out of the bamboo forest, but pounced on the void because Kiripa suddenly dodged.
By the light that was not very bright, he could see the appearance of the demon clearly. It wasn't much different from the parasitic species it had encountered before, but its claws were noticeably longer than those it had encountered before. Kiriba clearly felt that the demons he had encountered recently were always more characteristic than the previous ones, either they had longer nails, thicker limbs, or harder skin...... It's as if someone is cultivating them on purpose.
The monster saw Kiriba dodge, rolled after landing on the ground, and jumped up again by the stone on the side.
Kiriha was able to dodge the monster's attack, but the skin of his forehead was still scratched by the sharp claws, and the blood was running down and he could barely open his right eye. But he didn't flinch, but took advantage of the monster's body in the air to cut open the demon's head in one fell swoop with the wind blade that had been prepared in his hand.
The demon landed on the ground and fluttered a few times, and soon stopped moving.
This is the combat method that Kiritha summed up after many battles, and after discovering that the accuracy of unleashing the Wind Blade was really unsatisfactory, he decisively gave up on releasing the Wind Blade and used it as a dagger or short blade instead. In the process of fighting, he found that the flexibility of his body was far beyond his imagination, and with the wind blade, it actually produced a good effect. Of course, the disadvantages of abandoning long-range combat are obvious, almost every demon hunt will make him wear a lottery, and he clearly remembers the last time he was injured in the thigh, the last time it was the arm, and this time it was the position of the forehead.
But in any case, he hunted the demon again, and the demon's corpse was already dead, and Kiritha walked beside the corpse, crouched down, and released flames to burn the demon's corpse to ashes.
After destroying the demon's corpse marks, he used a handkerchief to wipe off the undried blood attached to his eyes, which allowed him to finally open his eyes. The wound had begun to scab over, and he had applied some special antiseptic potion there to prevent it from becoming infected, and the tingling sensation that followed made him gasp.
Kiritha put the potion jar in his pocket, and in the process, he touched the egg in his backpack, and couldn't help but think of the night when the man who called himself "Insect Master" handed it to him.
Almost a week has passed, but the man who calls himself the "insect master" has never appeared again, and the appearance rate of demons has continued to decrease recently, and if it weren't for the obvious feeling that the demons were constantly changing, Kiripa would even wonder if the man had left the town.
The other party had promised that as long as the demons in the leaves hatched,,You can tell him the corresponding information in return.,But for a long time he didn't know what to do.,This "treasure is close at hand.,And I don't know the password at the door" The feeling made him really depressed.,I can't help but start complaining about why the other party didn't make it clear at the beginning and disappeared.。
Although the insect master asked him to bring the crystal egg with him with confidence, Tong Ye was still worried that he would be discovered by the girl, so every time he stayed with Lu Ling, he kept the crystal egg at home. It wasn't until Lu Ling visited his house that Kiriha was able to confirm that the girl really didn't notice the existence of the crystal egg, which also made his hanging heart finally relax.
He pinched the crystal egg with his index finger and thumb, facing the sunlight as he walked, just looking at it, this egg was no different from the ordinary amethyst on the side of the road, except that, under the sun, the crystal itself seemed to begin to emit a strange purple light.
Speaking of which, he had also given a name to the demon in the crystal egg before.
The origin of the name is an antithrombotic drug that is being advertised by a small-town pharmacy, specifically a flyer that Kiritha received on his way home from his part-time job to buy a bento, and when he took a look at it and was about to throw it in the trash, he found the name of the drug.
Warfarin (Warfarin).
He was struggling with a bad name, and although the scratch paper used to choose the name had been thrown away in two bags of garbage, the names on it were all rejected without exception, and the name of the thrombosis drug in front of him made his eyes shine.
- What a good name.
Whether it is pronunciation, the writing of the Eastern or Western characters is very similar to the mind of the pauliba.
So, by mistake, the unborn child had the name of an antithrombotic drug - warfarin (if a girl is warfarin).
After choosing a name, Kiritha felt that he was closer to the "child" in this egg.
The title "child" is naturally influenced by the insect master.
After a while, he noticed that "warfarin" seemed to glow purple when it was close to the heat source, and at first he thought it was just his own illusion, but gradually, he realized that this light was indeed emitted by the crystal egg itself. This aroused his great interest, and on this basis, he discovered some laws of "glowing" - in general, "glowing" has a lot to do with firemana, and the higher the concentration of firemana, the richer the light emitted by the crystal egg. Even when the paulownia was directly roasted with the flames, he could see that the egg had grown slightly, and there was some purple turbidity inside.
He guessed that maybe the hatching of "this child" needed to absorb the power of fire, which might be the reason why the insect master found him. If that's the case, then he is far from the only one in the world, but why would the insect master convey a feeling of "he has to be" to Kiriha?
Regardless, after realizing the problem, it took two hours that night to heat warfarin, simply by burning the crystals with a flame. At first, he was afraid that the flames would be too hot (no demon could withstand his flames based on past experience) and did not dare to overheat warfarin. But it didn't take long for him to realize that his flames had no effect on the outer walls of the crystal eggs, and instead, after the crystals were thrown into the flames, he saw the crystals grow slightly.
He boldly lowered warfarin into the flames, and the outer walls of the crystal soon emitted a deep purple light that had never been seen before, this purple light was close to black, but after looking at it for a long time, he could see that there was a dark red halo in it.
However, in the end, the crystal egg did not get much bigger that night, which made him realize that the hatching of this egg could not be completed in a day.
The wind in the bamboo forest blew gently, and the cold feeling was surprisingly comfortable when it swept through the burning and stinging wounds.
Tong Ye retracted his thoughts, put the eggs in the bag, and called Lu Ling.
"Hey, I'm Kiripha. ”
"I know, what's the matter?"
"I'd like to ask about the Demon Egg. ”
"Demon eggs?"
"Hmm. ”
"Those things...... It's a bit of a hassle to be honest. ”
"Is it troublesome? Otherwise, forget it. ”
"No, you can come to me tomorrow. ”
"Come to your house?"
"Yes, it's easier to talk about it in person. ”
Lu Ling said as a matter of course.
"Then I'll come over after eating. ”
"All right, it's up to you. ”
