Chapter 133: Marceau's Ideal
Not long after Marceau entered the house, she came out with a sealed clay pot, and saw her come to the table and gently place the clay pot on it, fearing that one would break it if she was not careful. When the lid on the clay pot was lifted, a few rays of light shone through the opening, illuminating the entire bottom of the pot.
"Look, the little one is hunting." With that, Marceau pushed the clay pot in front of Ye Qi.
Ye Qi poked his head over, only to see that in addition to the big scorpion, there were centipedes, toads, and some poisonous insects that had never been seen before. They are all doing the same thing, which is to kill and devour each other.
They are constantly attacking other poisons around them, and in their opinion, they are all enemies, and the most powerful of them is the large scorpion with a black carapace.
The big scorpion was bigger than the last time Ye Qi saw it, and its carapace became darker and brighter, with a faint metallic sheen on it. Obviously, it has been doing well during this time, and there are so many poisonous insects for it to eat, and it is believed that the toxicity has increased a lot.
In the clay pot, the big scorpion was not afraid of the three poisonous insects. I saw that its left pincer blocked the attack of a golden silkworm, and its right pincer clamped a huge centipede, and the poisonous needle on its tail dealt with the poisonous toad harassing from the side. There is a lot of momentum when the gate is not opened, and one enemy and three are immovable.
"This, is this the legendary Gu feeding?" Ye Qi pointed to the poison in the jar and asked in surprise.
"Yes, as long as you feed a hundred poisonous insects, this scorpion will become extremely poisonous. Ordinary people who are stung by it will inevitably be poisoned to death within three points, and if they are unlucky, they will not even have time to detoxify. The corners of Marceau's mouth turned up slightly, and she was very confident in the poison she had cultivated.
Immediately, her expression gradually fell, and she said with a little helplessness: "However, no matter how violent its poison is, it can't be called a 'holy scorpion', its size is not big enough, and its vitality is not durable enough." And its own defense ability is a little stronger than that of ordinary scorpions, as long as you step on it hard, it still has to be torn apart. ”
"That's why you want to use the regenerative power of the Flesh Lingzhi to make it huge?" Ye Qi had already guessed what she wanted to say next.
Marceau nodded heavily and said, "That's right, although other medicinal materials are also precious, but these are relative to the meat lingzhi, as long as you have money, you can get your hands." The meat reishi is different, especially if it is more than a thousand years old, it is not something that can be bought with money. Moreover, most of the meat reishi on the market are fake, and it is difficult to pick out the artificially cultivated ones, let alone the wild thousand-year-old meat reishi. ”
"That's true, so how far does this scorpion have to be fed to be considered a 'holy scorpion'?"
The largest of the scorpions found today is called the 'Emperor Scorpion', and they can grow up to 20 centimeters in length. Among the fossils found, the largest ancient scorpion was more than two meters. It can be seen that arthropods like scorpions can indeed grow again, but the oxygen content of the earth today is not as high as in ancient times, which limits the development of their size.
"According to the legend of the clan, it must be at least half a meter or more, and the bow and arrow weapon cannot hurt its carapace before it can barely be called a 'holy scorpion'." Marceau said with a rare seriousness.
"At least half a meter? So how long can it grow? ”
Ye Qi's eyes widened as he looked at the little guy in the jar who was eating the corpse of a centipede, and his palm-sized body was enough to be proud of the scorpions in his kind. If it grows to half a meter, or even a meter, Ye Qi really can't imagine what kind of scene it will be at that time.
Looking at the amount of food that guy eats, it only takes a few words, and it has swallowed the whole centipede. Now it is preparing to devour another golden silkworm, and at this momentum, it will not be a problem to let it swallow a few more poisons.
Now this small body can eat like this, and when it grows to half a meter or even larger, I don't know how terrifying its appetite can be.
Marceau closed the lid of the clay pot and said prettyly: "Of course it can, according to the description in the holy scriptures of the clan, the holy scorpion can grow up to about two meters at most. And this is already the extreme of the holy scorpion, its poison can make an adult man die instantly. However, this is only a legend among our clan, and it is unknown whether it can really reach such a level. ”
Ye Qi sounded fantastical, but he felt that the legends of Marceau and their clan were very likely to be true. After all, even something as unreal as the life exchange system exists, what else in this world can't happen?
"Hehe, I'm looking forward to what it's like when it grows up." Ye Qi touched his chin and said.
"When the scorpion gets bigger, it doesn't change its appearance. It's just that its toxicity, defense ability, and attack ability will be greatly improved, and it will be my king of Gu at that time. Marceau caressed the clay pot with one hand, as if caressing an heirloom treasure, and there was a bit of obsession in his eyes.
It was only a moment later that she came back to her senses and said, "Of course, if you want it to be obedient, you have to feed it with your own essence blood." Otherwise, when it gets bigger, it's just an extremely aggressive monster. ”
Gu worms are indeed not so easy to raise, and each Gu represents that the person who raises Gu must spend a little essence and blood. The amount of essence and blood is directly related to the health of the human body itself, as well as the length of a person's life.
According to the theory of doctors, people are governed by the essence and spirit, and the 'essence' refers to the essence and blood. Of the three essences, spirits, and spirits, too much loss of any one of them can be life-threatening.
It can be seen that raising Gu is a job that is easy to kill people. Gu cultivators also need to know how to replenish their essence blood at any time, otherwise when the essence blood is exhausted, that is, when their lives die.
"But I'm curious, what use can you keep such a huge scorpion? Today's society is different from ancient times, and it is possible to be happy with revenge. If you take such a big scorpion to the street, you can't scare those big girls and little daughters-in-law to death. ”
Ye Qi was right, this kind of strange physics should only appear on TV or in exhibition halls. If such a big guy appears in the real society, it may cause panic among the citizens, and if it is not done well, it will cause major accidents.
Marceau disagreed: "The 'holy scorpion' has been wanted to cultivate since I was very young, but at that time, I was even more stupid and couldn't find a meat lingzhi that was more than a thousand years old, and there was no suitable poisonous scorpion for me to raise." Now that everything is ready, why not fulfill my childhood ideals? ”
After a pause, he continued: "As for the problem that the holy scorpion will scare people, you can rest assured. Usually the Gu worms will find a place to hide on their own, and they will only come out when I summon them with this thing. ”
As he spoke, Marceau took out a strangely shaped flute from his waist and raised it in front of Ye Qi.
"Uh, okay. I have another question, what was your ideal when you were a child? It can't just be to raise a big scorpion, right? ”
"Of course not, my dream is to become a Scorpion Messenger. According to my mother, only a woman who becomes a Scorpion Messenger can gain the power of the gods, and I will become such a woman. ”
The mountain-like momentum of Masona shocked Ye Qi, who didn't expect this little woman's ideals to be so illusory
