Volume II, Chapter 173
Dressing up as a human anytime and anywhere is a habit that Shi Leiyin has only recently developed. And one of the reasons for this is that Shi Leiyin has just recently completed his human mimicry.
The Arctic Mountains stretch across the northern part of the continent, and it takes about two months to travel by carriage from the snowy towns in the western part of the mountains to the eastern exit if you follow the route of human action. This is also due to the fact that mankind has carved out a route suitable for horse-drawn carriages to gallop day and night in the extremely cold mountains.
As for Shi Leiyin, they came from the secret realm of the ice lake farther west from the snow town, and directly crossed the frozen snow fields and the depths of the extremely cold mountains to the eastern mountains. The troubles they encountered along the way meant that it took them nearly four months to reach the Shrayin sleigh sled, which was much faster than the horse-drawn carriage in the snow.
Shi Leiyin's human mimicry was slowly completed in the past three months.
After digesting the ice elemental crystals in the Ice Lake Secret Realm, Shi Leiyin began to build his own humanoid skeleton. At first, with only his memories from the human period, the skeleton made by Shi Leiyin was very close to a skeleton. However, due to the lack of relevant professional knowledge, although this first skeleton looks close to a human, it is completely plausible, not only is the balance ridiculously poor, but the joints of the hands and feet will be dislocated if the movement is slightly larger.
After several failed attempts at tweaking, Shi Leiyin hit the idea on Xiao Zheng Taizilde. As a humanoid race, Zilde is not taxonomically human, but it is still the same as humans in appearance. Therefore, Shrayin hopes to get some correct skeletal structure from Zilde. It's just that Zilde's body can't become as transparent as Shui Jing or himself, and if you want to understand the bone structure, you can only choose the way of direct contact, which is the so-called bone touching.
However, a slime, with four or five wriggling tentacles, said to a good-looking young boy with lines like 'let me touch it, just touch it', this kind of picture is extremely evil no matter how you look at it.
Therefore, Shi Leiyin didn't even touch the corner of Zilde's clothes, and was cut out several pieces by Xiao Zhengtai's rushing current* who turned into a sharp sword, and then kicked out one by one.
Maybe Shi Leiyin's movements looked too evil, before he controlled his body divided into several parts and gathered them, Shui Jing and Jie Liya didn't care about his comforting performance, but hid vigilantly to the side, Jie Liya even condensed a purification ball of light in her hand, looking like Shi Leiyin dared to approach and throw it out.
His body was cut into several pieces, which was the biggest injury Shi Leiyin had ever suffered. The sword that Rushing Flow* Extreme Intention changed out was actually just an ordinary stainless steel long sword, and if you were on guard, it would be leaked the moment it came into contact with Shi Leiyin's body, and it would be impossible to even cut through the outer skin. But where would Shi Leiyin be so defensive about Zilde, and although Zilde looks like a little Zhengtai who is less than ten years old, his strange strength far exceeds that of ordinary adult males. Under the outburst of fright, Shi Leiyin's defenseless body could not resist this attack. At the moment when his body was cut open, Shi Leiyin almost thought that he was going to be finished this time.
Soon, however, Shi Leiyin noticed that although his body was cut into several parts, he did not feel that he had been seriously injured, and neither mentally nor physically had the feeling of being near death. His main consciousness remained intact in the part of the body where the core was located, while the other bodies that had been cut and kicked away felt like a temporary split clone in the sense of body extension.
With just a thought, the other parts of the body that were kicked away gathered like scattered droplets of water to the location of the core, and returned to Shi Leiyin's original body.
It was only at this time that Sanxiao had just reacted from the meaning of the tentacle slime that drove away evil, and thought of the fact that the slime that was defined as an evil tentacle was actually Shi Leiyin.
Although Zilde still didn't ask Shi Leiyin to 'touch the bones' of himself. However, due to the fact that he almost 'killed' Shi Leiyin once before, Zilde still used his knowledge to help Shi Leiyin correctly construct the human skeleton.
In addition to possessing strange powers that far surpass those of normal humans, Zird has also learned joint skills, which are very suitable for his strange powers and physical age. As a by-product of learning joint skills, Zilder's understanding of the skeletal structure of the human body is also very detailed. This just makes up for the imperfection of the skeleton and joints of the body that Shi Leiyin has built.
However, considering that most of Zilde's knowledge comes from the study of joint skills, Shi Leiyin used Zilde's knowledge to improve the bone composition, but also made a certain degree of modification to the bones, the largest part of which was to change most of the joint parts that can be locked or used by joint skills from a normal human one-way structure to a fully flexible joint that can rotate 360 degrees. Although this correction will affect some of the explosive power, it can allow Shi Leiyin to perform some actions that violate the human structure in human form.
In addition to some of the joints being transformed into omnidirectional rotations, at Zilde's suggestion, Shi Leiyin also made some changes to the ribcage, spine, and skull.
Because Shrayin's humanoid form does not have human internal organs, the loose part of the ribs that help with breathing is fused into a single piece to protect the slime core behind it. The spine part is also because there is no need to protect the nervous system, and the vertebrae are no longer in a fixed state, but can be arbitrarily lifted and separated, which makes Shi Leiyin's human form very easy to do those acrobatics, holding himself back into a ball. Although in Shi Leiyin's opinion, if he really wants to use that action to do anything, he can just turn back into the slime prototype.
As for the skull, it was completely eliminated. The role of the skull in humans is enormous, because it is necessary to rely on the skull to protect the most important and vulnerable brain. But Shi Leiyin doesn't rely on his brain to think at all, although he himself doesn't know what he is currently relying on to think and remember, but as a slime, Shi Leiyin's fatal point is only that tiny core. The head or something is just an ornament when it is humanoid, at most, in order to get closer to humans, Shi Leiyin needs to put the organs corresponding to the functions of sight, hearing, and smell on the head. That is, let the eyes, nose and ears not be used as decorations. Therefore, the skull, which was heavy and arguably the culprit that disrupted the balance of the body the most, was completely eliminated, leaving only a section of the spine as a marker for locating the position of the head.
In the end, the humanoid skeleton built by Shi Leiyin looks very different from the standard human skeleton, although it is basically similar in terms of human form, the skeleton built by Shi Leiyin is more like a doll toy with a head removed, the body is made of a whole rib and pelvic bone connected, and the limbs can rotate all the joints arbitrarily.
Although not exactly human-like, Shi Leiyin is already satisfied, because the new bones are very well balanced and mobile. Moreover, after getting used to the slime body, Shi Leiyin has almost forgotten about the use of the original human body, and the design of this new bone can be a good way to avoid accidentally twisting the joint because of the habit of the slime form.
