Chapter 20: The Fruit of Demonization
Bo Erba suddenly stopped talking, and Sikong Ya waited for a while, but Bo Bo Erba was now like a radio that had been unplugged, completely unresponsive. Sikong Ya felt that Yu Gang should have left, and the current Bao Bo'er Ba was no longer in a controlled state, just his attendant creature.
Sikong Ya looked at the galaxy in front of him composed of the Star Demon Iron Vein, and his heart was at a loss, even if Yu Gang told him a lot now, he was still at a loss in his heart.
He didn't even know if he had said something wrong in the first place, and if he had known that this would be the case, he would have agreed to participate in the experiment. Or obeyed the arrangement of fate back then, and became a teenager who died at the age of seventeen.
"Boss, you can use the Star Demon Iron to strengthen your body at the moment. According to the slime's physique, it is very likely to be transformed into a liquid metal body, which can greatly improve the strength of the boss. The cold voice rang out.
Sikong Ya can now be absolutely sure that this must be the AI implanted with the guidance system that Yu Gang said. Although his voice was exactly the same as before, the tone and fluency of his language were completely different.
"Well, since you want me to be like this, then I'll leave it at that." Sikong Ya said to himself helplessly.
"Player Sikong Cliff, successfully devoured the third-level metal mineral Star Magic Iron (level 10), and obtained the item: Level 3 Star Magic Iron (refined)*1;
"Confirm the selection of reinforcements."
"The player Sikong Cliff used metal essence to strengthen his body, and his body was successfully strengthened. Body Enhancement Experience 2/2000. ”
……
Sikong Cliff began to devour the Star Demon Iron, and did not stop until the full state appeared again. At this time, Sikong Cliff's body enhancement experience has reached 178/2000, and after the evolution of his life state and skills, Sikong Cliff is no longer like the earliest when he only devoured a few things to trigger the full state. It's just that after evolving, "Corrosive Devouring" needs to consume energy, so a lot of time was wasted waiting for energy to recover during this devouring process.
By the time Sikong Ya returned to the stalactite hall with Bo Erba again, little Lori An'an had already woken up. At this time, he was riding on the eldest baby and the second baby, chasing the five little strongmen and playing and playing. Sikong Ya didn't stop it when he saw such a scene, but he also joined in and played with the little girl.
After some playing, Sikong Cliff was in a much better mood, and An An seemed to be tired of playing and rested quietly beside Sikong Cliff. Looking at An An, who was now by his side, Sikong Ya remembered what Yu Gang had said about the demonization of the fruit before. Since this little girl has eaten it, I wonder if she will know where this thing is?
"An An, have you ever eaten a strange thing that made you look like this after eating?" Sikong Ya asked.
"Hmm......" An An tilted his head and thought about Sikong Ya's question, whether he still bothered his ears.
An An thought for a while, first nodded at Sikong Cliff, but then shook his head at Sikong Cliff.
"Guoguo! Woo~ heavenly! Whew~~ Big Eagle! Rumble! Tree! Smack~" An An explained to Sikong Cliff with a gesture.
To Sikong Ya's surprise, this is almost a statement of teeth and claws, since he himself understands it.
"You're saying that the fruit fell together with the big eagle when it fell from the sky? Is there still one in the tree where you live? Sikong Ya guided An An and tried to explain An An's fairy tales.
"Uh-huh!" An An had an expression of "the boss is so smart" and nodded vigorously.
After confirming the possible location of the demonized fruit, Sikong Cliff set off towards the meadow in the jungle with the eight minions. As for An An's little Lori, Sikong Ya didn't plan to take her with her. only left her in the cave and left the gourd baby and Wu Xiaoqiang to take care of and protect her, although the little girl was coquettish and biting when Sikong Ya left, and refused to let Sikong Ya leave.
Without the little girl's drag, Sikong Cliff traveled very quickly, and after a while, they came to the bottom of the giant tree. Sikong Cliff looked upwards and saw that the treetop was at least twenty meters above the ground. The leaves of the tree are surprisingly green and straight, and not only is the trunk extremely thick, but even the vines on the trunk are twisted up like a sinuous python.
It was also thanks to the strong enough that these vines were clinging to so that Sikong Cliff could climb up the canopy along these vines.
This giant tree is somewhat like a real-life baobab tree, the kind that only has a few branches growing on the top of the trunk. It's just that the branches in the canopy of this giant tree are much denser than those of baobabs, and now Sikong Cliff feels almost no different from walking on flat ground in this canopy.
Sikong Ya and the eight minions searched around the canopy, and finally found a plant on a vine with some small dark red berries growing on it. Each fruit is only about the size of a red bean, and if you don't have the intention to look for it, you won't be able to see this inconspicuous fruit.
"Demon Fruit: Gives non-humanoids the ability to transform into humanoids, and is ineffective against humanoids (including aliens and orcs)."
Sikong Ya was also honest and unkind, and directly picked all the fruits on this plant and packed them away. Since Yu Gang said that the currency in this game can be directly exchanged for real currency after that, how could Sikong Ya miss a rare prop like the Demon Fruit, which may have a big market in the future.
Sikong Cliff roughly counted it, and there were about forty or so demonized fruits. Sikong Ya even fantasized about the scene where the demonization fruits were in short supply in the future, and these forty or so demonization fruits may be the first pot of gold in this game in the future.
However, fantasy is fantasy, and Sikong Ya still decided to immediately use a demonization fruit to transform himself back into a human form.
"Do you use demonized fruits?"
"Confirm use."
Sikong Ya swallowed the demonized fruit in one gulp, only to feel that his whole body began to heat up and down. It was as if a fire was burning from the depths of his heart, as if it was about to melt his entire body away.
And in addition to the burning sensation on the body, in the spiritual realm of Sikong Cliff, a small human form is taking shape. And Sikong Ya also tried his best to imagine this little human figure as much as he once was, and in this process, this little human figure became more and more like his own appearance in Sikong Ya's heart.
I don't know how long it took, Sikong Ya felt the burning sensation on his body gradually subside, and Sikong Ya opened his eyes. Yes, Sikong Ya has eyes. After Sikong Ya realized this, he left to look at himself.
Sure enough, his hands, feet, and body were there, and Sikong Ya even touched his body with his own hands to confirm that they were real.
Sikong Ya couldn't suppress his excitement at all, and took a group of younger brothers to the lake, looking at himself from the reflection in the lake.
His appearance looks very close to that of a human, and even his facial features are exactly the same as his previous self, except that his body is still composed of transparent and slightly blue-gray semi-gelatin.
