Ninety-two: The Change of Thorns
Spiritual Root! Demon Soil!
Spiritual Root! Demon Soil!
Ling Qi Muran covered his beating heart, and he suddenly thought that the roots should not be planted in the soil. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He wanted to dig out his heart and see how it would resonate with the space.
But what little reason he had left told him that it was crazy, stupid, and definitely suicidal!
He gritted his teeth, forcibly endured a certain thought, and his strong will allowed him to stick to the last clarity!
Suddenly, he flipped his hand and took out the thorn of pain that had been stored in the storage space for many days, and nailed it to the ground!
"If you want, I'll give it to you!"
Ling Qi roared in his heart, rolling up a silent hurricane!
He didn't know if the anomaly was a "normal" reaction to the sight of the runes, or if the scarlet earth had finally resonated with the "kind"!
The only thing in his body that has something to do with concepts like "Demon Domain" and "Abyss" and allows them to be damaged is only pain and thorns!
He believed that anomalies were just the product of some fragile balance, and that runes were just an introduction, and that the magical foundations he had learned in The Elder Scrolls showed that no rune could have such a powerful effect without anyone controlling it and without outside forces intervening!
He believed that his discomfort could be alleviated if any link within some of the current unknown balances was broken.
He would never stab himself with a knife, that would be a fool, and he would not let Zero delete the image data of the suspected runes, so there was only one link left that could be destroyed!
It's like when he faced Sitis, he naturally took out a statue of divine power, which was not even a choice, but an instinctive decision when his life was in danger.
At that time, he was too weak, so weak that he didn't even have a chance to think. And now, he can at least weigh it!
Multiply!
A fountain of black water rushed out from the place where the dagger was driven into the ground, and the little Richard on the side was frightened and scolded angrily, and all the mechanical units also took a big step back in unison.
Ling Qi himself was the closest, but he only took a small step back, a few drops of black water splashed on his leather boots, and he found that the black water that was incorruptible could not even wear a thin layer of leather. This made him stop his original movements, and instead took out an alloy long knife, and stretched out towards the fountain-like black water column in Xiao Li's eyes like a madman!
Bang Bang Bang!
The blade surface of the impact of the water column kept trembling, scattering a lot of water mist, but there was no longer the sound of the metal being corroded!
Only then did he realize that the black liquor seemed to have become much thinner, and there was no earlier viscous feeling at all!
"Have you ever seen this?"
Ling Qi suddenly turned back to little Richard and asked, this beautiful man was already stunned by such an abnormality.
"Ahh
Ling Qi didn't even know if he was saying that there had never been such a black liquor jet, or if the black water had inexplicably lost the ability to corrode objects, or if it was both.
Ignoring the black water trickling from under his feet, which was no longer sticky, he walked to the clearing farther away and threw his long knife into the ground!
Whew!
Gray-white smoke rose, and Ling Qi immediately held his breath and leaped away.
I saw that where the blade touched the ground, streams of black oily substances poured out, as if a knife was gently cut on an ordinary person's body, and blood flowed out!
The alloy long knife obviously can't be used anymore, and it is estimated that it will soon break, following in the footsteps of some of its predecessors.
As for the black fountain on the other side... That's not dripping blood, it's bloodletting!
Ling Qi suddenly thought again, he had drawn blood from Little Richard at first, and when he drew too much, wouldn't the activity of blood cells be greatly reduced?
Shaking his head at the ridiculous thought, he took the spare boots out of the storage space and threw away the leather boots that had been stained with a few drops of black water. He ordered another humanoid mechanical warrior to step forward and pull the Thorn Dagger from the ground!
Unless it was 100% proven that the thing was completely harmless, he would never have any more physical contact with the Thorn of Pain!
To say that this place is indeed strange, the ground is like some kind of flesh moss, and tendons.
When the mechanical warrior pulls out the painful thorn from the ground and spews out a black spring that is nearly one and a half meters high on the ground, it will disappear immediately!
Although there was still a large black liquid on the ground, at least nothing was coming out.
Ling Qi ordered the mechanical warrior to come into contact with the puddle of liquid as little as possible, and came to him with pain and thorns.
The Pain Thorn hadn't changed much, and the slightly weird thing was that it was so clean that it didn't even look like half a drop of black liquid had been touched, except for the ones that had been on the mechanical warrior's hands, of course!
Ling Qi never knew that this thing still had the function of not dripping blood!
Although this dagger has not changed much, it has not become purple and shiny when its soul is saturated after harvesting a large number of lives. However, in the relatively dim light of this space, it is still eye-catching, shiny, like a layer of black piano paint!
"Come here!"
Ling Qi coldly ordered to the little Richard who was avoiding the side, although the pale-faced Richard was very curious about the pain and thorns, at this time, he was wise to protect himself, and shook his head again and again.
Ling Qi was about to threaten, thought about it and said in a slow tone:
"It shouldn't be dangerous, and even if it is, I'll cut off your hand in time. Your hand can grow longer if it's broken, I don't have the ability to do that!"
This was originally his strategy of saluting first and then soldiering, but he didn't expect to say this, little Richard hesitated, looked at Ling Qi, and actually really walked over.
"Okay, there must be danger, you move quickly, I'm afraid of pain, and I'm even more afraid of death!"
Richard said, squinting as if he was about to be thrown into a cauldron, and cautiously reached for the glittering dagger that was less than a foot long, full of barbs like thorny branches, in the palm of the mechanical warrior's palm.
Ling Qi grinned and said I am also afraid of death, but it is others who are not afraid of death.
When Richard's fingertips touched the handle of the dagger, his entire arm shrank suddenly, causing Ling Qi, who had taken out an alloy short knife, to almost slash it off.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Qi frowned and asked, little Richard didn't have any injuries on his hands.
"Ahh
Richard laughed, and Ling Qi was so angry that he wanted to cut off his head.
He was urged again to pick up the dagger, and it was not until Richard had tightened his grip on the thorn of pain and played a few fancy tricks that he was initially sure that it was harmless for the time being.
"Huh~ha~ahda~"
There Richard tossed his dagger and suddenly said:
"Ling Qi, this thing is good, give it to me. ā
Ling Qi obviously didn't expect him to make such a request, could it be that they really thought they were friends?
"Show me first, if you behave well, you can consider it. ā
Ling Qi said lightly, he still had to carry out the final verification.
Richard reluctantly handed the dagger back to Ling Qi, as if he had lost something important. But Ling Qi's "brutality" and his original temperament make it difficult for this "attachment" to take root.
Starting with the dagger, Ling Qi suddenly sank, this was originally only a few pounds, one of the Dark Brotherhood's standard suits, the assassin's best weapon, now at least thirty or forty pounds, heavier than the machete he had just put away!
Not to mention ordinary assassins, it is a question whether an ordinary warrior can handle it.
The weight of dozens of catties is nothing to Ling Qi at this time, but it can also show that the change of the dagger is not as simple as the surface!
It's a pity that the Juggernaut still hasn't explained what was supposed to be a super weapon!
He took out the thick-backed alloy dagger from the space again, and then slashed the blade with the dark thorny dagger in his hand!
Click!
Mr. Yes's special weapon was once again strong, and Ling Qi felt like he was chopping on a piece of rotten wood!
He frowned slightly, this change not only did not surprise him, but made him more vigilant.
He raised the broken blade of the machete and looked closely, and found that the crack was a little rough, as if it had not been cut off, but corroded!
Ling Qi's hand trembled slightly, and he almost threw away the thorn dagger.
This kind of thing, he didn't dare to put it in the storage space, after all, his control over the storage space was not absolute, for example, he couldn't arbitrarily restrict the special creatures like Mr. Yes or Zero who were thrown in, they could still scan and analyze other items with the help of PP Boy.
God knows if this thing also has any special attributes, and whether it will provoke a moth!
Dreadnought stems most of the time from ignorance, and Ling Qi knows more and more.
"Tsk, good thing, Ling Qi, give it to me, okay!"
Little Richard, who made the beauty lose color, suddenly showed a pitiful expression, and leaned over to Ling Qi's side and begged.
A black light flashed on Ling Qi's face, and he felt a sense of abuse in his heart, including greed, dissatisfaction, and anger.
"It's mine!"
He was almost about to roar, but the spiritual root, which had stabilized since the thorn dagger was inserted into the ground, suddenly urged his heart to beat suddenly!
"Ahem~ Of course, we're friends~"
When the words came to his lips, Ling Qi immediately changed his words, and his violently beating heart gradually subsided.
When he looked up again to face Richard, the frost on his face had turned into a gentle smile.
"Yay~"
Little Richard snatched the dagger and jumped for joy.
If it weren't for the lack of obvious sexual characteristics, he would be behaving like a girl now.
Since he was originally asexual, Ling Qi didn't care about his physical or psychological changes like a man and a woman, and he was just the object of use anyway.
He looked at Richard, who had stepped aside and fiddled with the thorns of pain, and a strange smile curled into his lips.
After this episode, the team hit the road again.
Due to the "gift" he received, Richard's attitude towards Ling Qi changed slightly, and he even began to persuade Ling Qi to turn back, bluntly saying that the headquarters of the Enclave Department of Scientific Research was not something he could break into now.
After his proposal was rejected by Ling Qi, Richard began to ask questions about storage space.
Obviously, he had long noticed Ling Qi's ability to take things out of thin air, but he was "unfamiliar" before, so he pretended not to see it.
"Hey, that's some kind of portable space, isn't it~ Tsk, that's amazing! You're not actually from NRC, are you! Could it be from over there? Now it seems to be called the Donghua Empire? Yes! The first country in the wasteland to restore order! I heard that you grabbed the largest piece of alpha shard back then, and now it seems to be true, let me tell you..."
Ling Qi turned a deaf ear to his words and only absorbed the valuable parts of them.
Of course, he had two sentences, which Ling Qi remembered very deeply.
Don't let the old man know you have a carry-on space. Or when you reach a dead end, exposing this capital again may be able to save you a life.
Ling Qi didn't know what he had in mind, and he didn't even think that anything could drive him to a dead end, but he still took this advice to heart.
This shows that the elder Richard, like the younger Richard, in some ways, does not care about the immediate information of the outside world, unless it is the real giant forces, he will understand.
This shows that the old Richard's research, in terms of space, has tended to be perfect!
At least the concept of carry-on space, away from the storage space, is already very close!
This aspect may be Ling Qi's biggest gain here!
When the spirit root devoured ninety percent of the power of the Xuan Turtle Yuan Magnetic Pei, he was already able to use the spirit root to lay a tight Yuan Magnetic shield on his body and even the surface of his soul, which meant that he could use the life-saving skill of concealment again!
It is by virtue of this lost hole card that he has already regarded this adventure as an adventure in the mission, and is looking forward to the harvest!
