Chapter 7: Slime and the Gray Wolf
Periphery of the Forest of Calamity, southeast.
"Plop, plop."
A large number of slime clones, like dumplings, followed. At this time, Zheng Ming, who was floating on the water, was like playing a small game "Receiving Gold Coins", constantly taking down the clones below and integrating them into his body.
What the? How did Zheng Ming escape the danger of being drowned? It's a shame to say that it wasn't until he woke up from the bottom of the lake again that Zheng Ming realized that he wouldn't actually drown when he turned into a slime, at most he would sink to the bottom of the lake.
As for why he fainted underwater? This is because Zheng Ming fell into the water after a sudden change, and in the dim underwater environment, facing huge water pressure, at the same time, under the common sense that he would fall into a coma and die due to lack of oxygen in his previous life, he fainted due to psychological factors. That's right! In short, he was stunned.
After waking up and merging into the clone, he gained the ability to float, which is why he will now receive the clone on the water.
So in the next two days, Zheng Ming waited by the lake for the doppelganger to fall, and at the same time, ordered the clones scattered elsewhere to merge nearby and rush to converge. As Zheng Ming continued to integrate into the clone, the voice in the depths of his heart sounded frequently.
[Gain Water Attribute], [Gain Fire Attribute], [Gain Metallic Property], [Gain Wood Attribute], [Gain Earth Attribute].
[Gain Fire Resistance], [Gain Ice Resistance], [Awaken Skill to Control Water Flow], [Gain Rare Talent to Listen to the Voice of Everything]
[Gain Physical Resistance], [Gain Fire Resistance] [Awaken Talent Mana Storage] [Awaken Skill Life Transformation]............
Seeing that the doppelgangers falling from the portal were becoming more and more rare, and the clones falling into the lake were even rarer, Zheng Ming, who didn't know where he was, decided not to wait any longer, and crawled west after finding the right direction.
……
Legend has it that every person who breaks the shackles of the laws of time and space, breaks through the original world, and enters another world, will receive the blessings and gifts of the world when they leave the world that originally belonged to them. That's right! That is, the traverser must have the law of the golden hand.
Obviously, the voice that kept ringing in Zheng Ming's heart was his golden finger, and Zheng Ming was still very satisfied with this golden finger. Although it is a stuffy gourd that does not communicate with itself as a host, and does not give Zheng Ming a strong aggressiveness, as a self-preservation, the abilities it provides are very practical.
Three more days passed after leaving the lake. In the past three days, Zheng Ming has successively absorbed the clones and gained abilities. And he also learned about some of the characteristics of his abilities.
For example, the strength of the same ability is not the same. For example, Zheng Ming gained a total of three physical resistances. These three resistances do not stack, but take the higher value. As long as the same ability is obtained, the ability value of the subsequent prompt will be higher than the previous prompt.
In other words, if the ability carried by the clone was awakened by Zheng Ming before and compared to the strength of the body, there would be no more reminders after absorbing the clone.
After absorbing so many clones, although Zheng Ming did not have the ability to awaken attacks, his base stats became very comprehensive and powerful.
In order to verify how strong his physical resistance is, Zheng Ming even went to provoke a wild wolf that he encountered by chance. At this moment, he was pressed to the ground by the half-human-tall gray wolf, bearing the claws of the other party.
"Ass, it hurts. Kill...... Bite to death...... Kill. ”
As the howl of the wild wolf on his body came into his ears, the intermittent and unwritten words appeared in Zheng Ming's mind, which was exactly the meaning of the wild wolf's howl.
When he first heard the talent of "listening to the voice of all things" before, Zheng Ming was still wondering what was the use. Now it seems like a translation-like ability.
As early as in his previous life, Zheng Ming had heard such a saying. It is said that people do not communicate with each other by language alone, but by gathering information from each other. This information is processed by the brain and visualized into meaning that you can understand. The role of language is to reduce all kinds of complicated and ambiguous information, so that the brain can associate specific things faster and more accurately.
For example, two people who do not understand the other language, but they can roughly understand what the other person is saying through the other person's tone, context, expressions, movements, etc. Zheng Ming guessed that his talent for "listening to the voice of all things" maybe, probably, is similar to this situation.
It's just that Zheng Ming, who understood the beast language for the first time, was still inevitably surprised in his heart.
It had encountered various insects and animals before, but they couldn't even express a decent meaning. Therefore, Zheng Ming naturally will not have a translation in his mind. This is the first time Zheng Ming has encountered an animal that can express his own meaning, although it is only intermittent, word-by-word short words.
Thinking of this, Zheng Ming sighed, glanced at the wild wolf that was still persevering in attacking him, and said lazily.
"Ha~ah~~~. How long are you going to bite me? You see, you can't even bite me. I admit that it was wrong for me to disturb your rest. Can I admit my mistake? ”
Suddenly hearing Zheng Ming's words, the wolf was stunned, as if he couldn't believe that the other party could actually communicate with him, and looked at Zheng Ming with a puzzled face, and the front catch that was originally going to be photographed stopped in mid-air.
Seeing the stupid look of the wild wolf, Zheng Ming's nature relapsed, and he couldn't help but be cheap.
"What are you looking at? Look at your stupidity. I'll discuss it with you. I shouldn't have pulled your tail, I was wrong, right? Please spare me. I'm drooling, so I'm satisfied, right? ”
"It hurts. Kill...... You...... Die. ”
Whether it was the wolf's howling words or its fierce eyes, Zheng Ming understood that the other party didn't seem to intend to let him go. Zheng Ming, who had already finished experimenting with his physical resistance, was impatient and was bitten, and said.
"Hi, I said. You're not done yet, are you? I would have liked to have resolved it peacefully. Slime doesn't power when I'm a slug? Life devouring. ”
Zheng Ming roared and rushed towards the wolf. As it jumped into the air, its round body suddenly swelled out, turning into a thin layer that enveloped the wolf's entire body.
Unlike the lake-like life force of Merlin, the life force of the wolf is represented as a small flame. The small flames flickered under Zheng Ming's devouring, and soon became smaller.
"Wow ~ Rao ...... Life. ”
Zheng Ming didn't plan to kill the wild wolf in the first place, but if he really wanted to talk about it, he disturbed the other party's rest. Seeing the wild wolf howling in horror and begging for mercy in his body, Zheng Ming put away the body that wrapped the other party and released it.
"Woo~Woo~Woo~."
Seeing the wild wolf that was whimpering and running away after being freed, Zheng Ming felt as if he had bullied a child, and a sense of guilt rose in his heart.
"Hey~ wait. What do I do to compensate you okay. ”
Unexpectedly, hearing Zheng Ming's shout, the wild wolf became even more anxious, only to see it scream like a frightened rabbit and fled in a panic, and disappeared as soon as it slipped away.
"Hmph. The dog bites Lu Dongbin and does not know the hearts of good people. But wolves can also scream, and today is really a long experience. ”
Zheng Ming was not aware of his previous bad behavior. Calling itself a good person, it complained under his breath.
Zheng Ming, who was confident after separating from the wild wolf, hummed a small song in his mouth, with an invincible posture of Lao Tzu in the world, and continued to walk to the west with the steps of not recognizing his six relatives.
