Volume 3 Chapter 56 Eternal Aoi
Shi Leiyin, who didn't know that he was cheated by the library at all, although he had some doubts about the coolness of the library. But in the case of having already received benefits, Shi Leiyin still started to complete the task very seriously.
Initially, in order to confirm the rumor that the tentacle lifeform was a special monster race as soon as possible, Shi Leiyin directly copied to create a miniaturized layer main clone, and then just did not place his own body flesh inside it. Therefore, the miniaturized clone is no different from the original layer master clone in terms of combat form and combat style.
In Shi Leiyin's opinion, this is not a so-called racial juvenile at all, it can only be regarded as a splinter. Although some monster races have a peculiar form of a community, there will still be a certain number of independent individuals. What Shi Leiyin was going to do now was to make something that looked like a real hatchling.
This is actually the result of Shi Leiyin's panic. Sanxiao has been fighting with the eldest lady of the dragon clan recently, and even Shui Jing, who will pester herself whenever she is free, doesn't stick to herself very much, this contrast makes Shi Leiyin feel quiet and have a faint sense of loss - the feeling that his daughter has a boyfriend's father - at least Shi Leiyin himself thinks so.
With enough spare Shi Leiyin, he naturally turned the third thing besides eating and sleeping into a study of how to turn the original doppelganger layer master into a doppelganger race. The name bank for this race has already been chosen.
Immortal Aoi, that's how Ku called the tentacle monster, and at the same time began to unify the name among adventurers through the Human Services Department of the Kinkisia Chamber of Commerce. The origin of the name is naturally the top tentacle that resembles a sea anemone and the life essence inside. In the information spread by Jinkisya, it is this monster that is able to prey on other creatures and condense its life essence into something similar to a nutrient reserve in its body. Therefore, the essence taken out of the body of this monster will have the kind of ingredients that can make longevity elixirs, and similarly, it takes time and a lot of predation for this monster to condense the essence of life, so after obtaining the essence once, it takes a long time for this monster to recover before it can obtain the essence again and let the monster obtain enough prey.
The news of the Jinkisi Chamber of Commerce just came out, not only letting the adventurers know the specific news of this tentacle creature. At the same time, it also makes those forces with a heart think that the Golden Kis Chamber of Commerce has successfully captured an immortal sunflower. This not only made the seven major forces think more highly of the Jinkisya Chamber of Commerce, but also made the force that originally planned to replace the chamber of commerce's labyrinth service power even more jumpy. A living immortal aoi can definitely allow the force to be protected by any of the seven major forces - desire makes people unable to see reality clearly, this is Shi Leiyin's evaluation of this force after it becomes more active.
However, no matter what the head of the Vault or the Human Branch of the Chamber of Commerce intends to do with this force that has begun to affect the normal activities of the Chamber of Commerce. Shi Leiyin just expressed his opinion, and then took out his newly completed larval Immortal Aoi to show the library.
Unlike the previous shrunken version of the main doppelganger, this time Shi Leiyin made a real juvenile form. In Shi Leiyin's opinion, a form like the main doppelganger of his own layer, if there is a larvae, should be a weaker form, but it can move to avoid natural enemies, similar to a butterfly, a life form that will metamorphose between larvae and adults. It also explains why the thief saw himself as a sphere in the first place. In fact, through the deliberate intelligence operation of the Jinkisya Chamber of Commerce, almost all the insiders ignored the fact that the thief had obtained a piece of meat that could be used to make longevity potions with just a random cut. Most people's attention was focused on the life essence that Emaar brought back, and thanks to the fact that Shi Leiyin put in his condensed body when making the layer master clone, people ignored the initial flesh parts that were less effective.
The hatchling was a palm-sized orb, with a one-eyed body that took up about a quarter of it, making it look like a member of the Evil Eye or the Black Ball family. However, the four tentacles that stretched out from the surface of the sphere set it apart from the creatures of the two races. The four tentacles are one large and three small, and the larger one is called the driving foot by Shi Leiyin, which is used to make the sphere move. You can move by using the reaction force that pushes the ground behind you, or by grabbing an object in front of you with your tentacles and pulling the body over. Although this way of moving is very unreasonable and slow, in Shi Leiyin's opinion, it is a good illustration of the weakness of this juvenile.
The three small tentacles have both attack defense and feeding abilities, and there is a needle-like object at the tip of the tentacle that can pierce the target's body, inject toxins or digestive juices, and can also absorb the dissolved body fluids of the target. This design is inspired by the way spiders eat, and Shi Leiyin also deliberately added a paralysis liquid, which will not actually anesthetize the target, but will make the other party unable to feel that he has been attacked by the tentacles of the larvae, similar to the substance secreted by mosquitoes when they suck blood. This is Shi Leiyin's explanation of the way this larvae survive - parasitic larvae. Since the adult is an individual that condenses the essence of life after preying on prey, the larvae should have a similar ability, so parasitic prey to obtain the essence of life is a way recognized by Shi Leiyin.
Ku is completely incomprehensible to this strange stubbornness of Shi Leiyin. In her opinion, this was just a casual way to solve problems, and she didn't really plan to make a race. However, since Shi Leiyin did it, he also created a large number of larvae, and Ku was also happy to put these larvae into the labyrinth, and artificially let some larvae parasitize some wurmmons and unintelligent monsters.
In order to reflect the situation of the race, Shi Leiyin created five hundred such hatchling clones in one go, and after entering simple intelligence commands, they were thrown into the third, fourth, and fifth layers of the maze.
The instructions given by Shi Leiyin are to absorb but not kill the host, and enter the pupal stage after absorbing enough energy.
The chrysalis stage is the final form that Shi Leiyin designed for this juvenile clone, Shi Leiyin is not a god after all, and does not have the ability to create a life race by himself. The juvenile clone has more action command restrictions than the main layer clone, and its small size means that it can receive fewer commands. Therefore, in addition to a few instructions for parasitism, the larval clone is left with only one instruction to break away from the parasite and turn into a sphere.
This chrysalis orb looks the same as the form that Shi Lei Yin had before he completed his evolution on the fifth layer, but it was much smaller, only the size of a football. After entering this form, the clone will send a recycling message to Shi Leiyin, waiting for Shi Leiyin to recover and transform it into a juvenile form, that is, the form of a miniaturized clone.
Shi Leiyin didn't plan to make additional underage instances, but he still made a little change to the miniaturized layer master, removing the fourth stage of the rampage form that required ontological physical support. Increases the ability to pupate again after absorbing a certain amount of energy. At the same time, Shi Leiyin also planned to put only a small amount of flesh into the doppelganger of the juvenile entity that had been pupated three times, so that they looked like they were about to become an adult.
Finally, there is the so-called adult individual, Shi Leiyin defines the layer master clone as a powerful individual at the leader level, so there should also be an ordinary adult individual who is weaker and has less essence in the body. Therefore, Shi Leiyin, a juvenile individual clone who has been chupated more than five times, intends to increase their size, directly increasing the diameter of one meter from the fifth layer of pupae to a giant size of ten meters, and returning to the attack mode of the layer master clone. Of course, this was only Shi Leiyin's intended intention, and he only made five juvenile specimens and one adult that had evolved one to five times as examples, and put all of them into the fifth layer. The original layer master clone was placed on the fifth floor near the gatekeeper's room.
