Outside the bandit base, in a clearing in the bushes.

The earth on the ground had been visibly turned over, and more than two dozen villagers who had died in the battle that night were buried here.

There was an even bigger pit in the distance, where the corpses of more than 100 horse bandits had been thrown into the pit and had not yet been filled in and buried.

At this moment, Lin Yang and Anna were standing in front of the pit.

"Do you really want to do this?" Lin Yang looked at the deep pit, holding a pitch-black insect egg the size of a human head in his hand, and asked.

"This is a step that must be taken for future development." Anna said.

"Okay."

Sighing, Lin Yang bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the eggshell of the worm's egg.

The small insect egg quickly absorbed the blood and burst out with a strong light, Lin Yang's heart was shocked, and he clearly felt that his divine sense had a soul connection with the little life in the eggshell.

Then, Lin Yang put the insect egg on the ground, only to hear the "click", a crack cracked on the dark eggshell, and out of it crawled out a beetle covered by a pitch-black carapace, with four pairs of eight arthropod arms on both sides of the body, a mouthpart for eating on the small head, and a little white abdomen.

As soon as he was born, the little guy opened the mouthpiece, clicked, and gnawed his eggshell clean.

"Master." The little beetle, the size of a human head, said to Lin Yang: "Thank you for giving birth to me, I am still very hungry and need to eat." ”

"......" Lin Yang was a little speechless and looked at Anna.

Anna waved her hand into the pit and said, "These corpses are your food." ”

The little beetle still looked at Lin Yang.

"Go ahead, you can eat these corpses." Lin Yang nodded, the little beetle crawled into the deep pit and began to gnaw on the corpse of the horse bandit, and after a while, one corpse had completely turned into a bloody skeleton, and the little beetle began to gnaw on the second corpse, it was hard to imagine that such a little guy could actually hold a huge amount of food in his stomach.

"Let's go, I'm going to be sick to my stomach when I look at it again." Lin Yang took the lead and walked towards the base.

Anna smiled coquettishly and followed.

……

After a while, the hundreds of corpses in the deep pit were all left with only bloody bones, which looked extremely bloody and terrifying, because the skeleton was too hard, with the current ability of the little beetle, it could not be gnawed.

After eating these corpses, the body of the little beetle became significantly larger, about half the size of a human body at this moment, and raised its head to discern the direction and walked towards the base.

"Wow!" Looking at the half-human-tall little beetle in front of him, Huo'er immediately became interested, circled around it a few times, and said with a smile: "The little guy is quite cute!" ”

"Your aesthetic is really a little different from ordinary people......" Grabbing his hair, Lin Yang asked, "Anna, what will we call it in the future?" ”

"My name is the brood." Before Anna could speak, the little beetle took the lead.

"......" Lin Yang shook his head and said, "Okay, then it's called the mother nest like your mother, little guy, what is your current ability?" ”

"Master, this is my current ability."

Before the words fell, the brood transmitted a message to Lin Yang's mind, which was an attribute panel that recorded the current situation of the brood in detail.

At present, there is only one level of the mother nest, but it is different from the level of human beings, and the mother nest has only nine levels in total, and every three levels are divided into a large class, three hundred and sixty-nine three classes, and the form of the mother nest will have a big transformation. However, the improvement of ordinary levels, such as one to three levels, can only make the size bigger, and after successfully breaking through to the fourth level, quantitative changes will cause qualitative changes.

The Brood, also known as the Seed of War and Destruction, is not the most powerful force that can be attacked, but can create unlimited troops. This is clearly written on the stat panel, and the volume of each level is constantly increasing, and the number of units that can be created is also larger. Every time you eat a class, you can copy it, and the more powerful the class, the more you need to eat, in order to completely deconstruct it.

And in terms of the ability of the current brood, there are three initial classes to choose from, the first is a worker bee, the second is a worker ant, these two types basically have no combat effectiveness, just a tool used by the brood to collect food, and it is unlikely that there is much intelligence, the difference is only one can fly and one can climb, and the daily production volume is three. As for the third class, it is the human beings eaten by the mother nest before, a hundred human corpses, but it only deconstructs less than one percent of the human race, and if you want to make human beings, I am afraid that you can't even think about tens of thousands of corpses.

"Let's build worker bees first, refuel and eat, and raise your level up." Lin Yang thought about it again and again, and finally said.

"As you wish."

Before the words could be spoken, the brood propped up several arthropod arms, the buttocks were tilted back, and a large hole suddenly opened in the slightly whitish abdomen, and three soft worms with mucus fell.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the three worms broke open, and three worker bees the size of a human head crawled out of them, clicked and ate the worms, fluttered their wings, and buzzed up.

"Sure enough, it's done so quickly......" Lin Yang was secretly a little speechless, if one day the brood developed to the state of its mother, I am afraid that it would be creating troops all the time.

"Master, I'm going to look for food." After saying that, the brood took the three worker bees and turned around and walked towards the forest outside the base.

"Anna, how long will it take for the brood to be promoted to two levels?" Lin Yang asked.

"At the current rate, almost a year."

"A year, it seems a little slow, it's okay, what I have is time to wait." Nodding, Lin Yang walked towards the hall: "Come with me, I have something to announce." ”

……

The four of them sat in the hall, and the three girls all looked at Lin Yang with a little expectation.

"I'm going to leave." Lin Yang took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Leave?" Huo'er was a little surprised: "Where to go?" ”

"Jackdaw's Castle Mage Academy." Lin Yang replied.

"What the hell is that?" Huo'er frowned.

"Listening to the name, it seems to be a place to train mages." Lily said, "You're going to learn mage skills?" ”

"Well, I'm going to be a mage." Lin Yang nodded and said, "And this mage academy is also the best academy in the entire Faren Continent. ”

"Shall we go with you?" Anna asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"No, you stay here and help me manage this knight's territory." Lin Yang muttered: "There is Barton in charge of Xiaoshi Village, I will leave it to you here, and the brood, Anna, you help me take full control of the brood, it is the foundation of our foothold in the Faeron plane, and there can be no mistakes." ”

"I see." Anna nodded.

"How long will it take for you to come back from this absence?" Lily asked.

"I don't know what to do, I plan to master the magician thoroughly, at least a year, at most a few years."

"It's been so long, then I'm not going to die of boredom......" Huo'er sighed.

"It won't get you bored." After that, Lin Yang took out the small jade bottle from the package, and poured out a large amount of divine blood in one go, originally Lin Yang had not much divine blood left, and this time only a third was left. Handing over the blood of the Bright God to Huo'er, Lin Yang Zhengse said: "One drop a day, enough for you to use for a year, don't be greedy, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." ”

"Oh yes, that's great!" Huo'er grinned and accepted the divine blood, and ran out of the coffin in a hurry.

"I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Lin Yang looked at Anna: "One thing is very important, that day I went to Ximu Town to negotiate with the old lord, the old lord gave me the feeling that it was not simple, he should have been very ambitious when he was young, but now he is old, so there is only money and enjoyment left in his eyes." But he had a son, named Haken, the eldest of several children, who, if nothing else, would be the heir to the old lord's throne. This Haken is definitely not a good thing, and after succeeding to the throne, he may be the first to attack us, so you should prepare for defense as soon as possible, and you can be foolproof by taking precautions. ”

"Hmm." Anna nodded in agreement.

"That's it, it's okay, let's go rest." With that, Lin Yang got up and walked towards the door.

Lily moved her mouth, and stopped talking.

"Lily." Anna sneered, "He's about to leave, aren't you going to confess to him?" Be careful, never get a chance again. ”

Hearing this, Lily lowered her head and said, "Let's see if there is any chance in the evening." ”

……

That night, several things happened in the base one after another.

In the room where Lin Yang was.

Holding the golden golden compass in his hand, Lin Yang really didn't know what to do with this ultimate prop, the only energy left in his body at present was only one-third of the light divine blood, and a complete piece of paste-like light divine power. He doesn't want to move the light divine power for the time being, maybe the god energy will come in handy in the future, as for the divine blood, if it is used on the Great Emperor's staff, or to charge the bow of the earth, it can also be used for a long time, not to mention that these two things are his life-saving hole cards.

And if the divine blood is used on the golden compass, you can get about a few lottery chances, but what can be drawn, the golden compass also shows that it is completely up to luck, and if you are lucky, you may get the ultimate prop, and if you are unlucky, you may get a rotten stone.

"Well, just hit the luck, though my luck has always been bad." With a long sigh, Lin Yang poured all the divine blood in the small jade bottle onto the golden compass.

The golden compass lit up with a dazzling golden light, and the hands on the compass began to spin rapidly.

Around the compass, there are various inscriptions carved, with strange symbols, beasts, mythical beasts, etc., which are just a symbol, and do not represent the props themselves.

Moments later, there was a pig-killing scream from the room.

"Damn, fuck, your sister, you've been pitted!" Lin Yang almost had the urge to scold his mother: "What a thing is this!" The Ice Queen really killed people and didn't pay for her life! Red and blue potions, garbage scrolls, garbage equipment, and even a gold coin reward...... You can't give me something good! ”

The hands slowly slow down and are about to stop on a symbol, which is the last chance to draw.

Lin Yang didn't even look at it, and directly threw the golden compass out of the wall, and hit the wall with a "bang".

And the pointer stopped just right at this time, and the last prop flew out of the compass and fell on the bed.

"Huh?" Lin Yang picked up the prop and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning: "What is this?" I hadn't seen anything like this during the closed beta. ”

Indeed, the thing in front of me is very strange, from the shape of it, it is simply indescribable, the surface is glowing with a bright silver metallic luster, like a product of high technology, if you have to compare it, basically similar to some kind of instrument.

When he picked up this thing, Lin Yang was completely fanatical.

Soul Detector: Golden Compass Lottery, special props, can detect the player's soul within a certain range, and fire the soul beam, blast it away, completely kill the player character, and start over. In addition, there are powerful functions such as soul manifestation, soul bondage, and soul torture, and they are called the two "soul artifacts" together with the soul fabricator.

"I'll go, it's just a bug-like prop!" Lin Yang was shocked, and blurted out: "The player needs to find the corpse after death, in the soul state, any attack has no effect, and the soul cannot be seen, and with this thing, it can really kill the player completely!" Now my ontology has been converted into code, and once I die, I can't be resurrected, and this thing is equivalent to depriving the player's character of life in disguise, ending the infinite resurrection! It's worth it, one-third of the divine blood, in exchange for this prop, it's completely worth it! God really still favors me, hahaha......"

Suddenly, there was a scream outside the door.

Lin Yang woke up from his brain fever, put away the soul detector, and rushed out of the door.

Discerning the direction of the scream, Lin Yang quickly rushed towards a certain room, pushed open the door and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh.

Lily and Anna, also standing in the room at the moment, their faces a little cloudy.

This is Huo'er's room, I saw Huo'er lying on the bed on his back, looking drunk, his face was flushed, his body was hot, the golden light was flashing, he was still holding an empty bottle in his hand, and there was even a drop of divine blood flowing down the corner of his mouth.

"This crazy girl, told her to absorb one drop a day, and she actually drank it all at once!" Lin Yang scolded angrily, jumped on the bed, slapped Huo'er twice, and shouted, "Wake up!" Wake up! ”

"She seems to be ......," frowned, and Lily said, "into a deep slumber." ”

"Well, with Huo'er's physique, he should be able to carry it, but I don't know how long it will take for Lu Dao to wake up." Anna said slowly.

After a period of discussion, several people finally decided to place Huo'er here.

……

Shaking his head, Lin Yang went straight back to his room, and Lily hesitated behind him for a moment before following along.

"Huh? What's the matter with you? Lin Yang asked.

"I'm ......" Leaning against the door, Lily said a little embarrassed, "You're leaving tomorrow, there are some things I want to tell you, otherwise I won't have a chance." ”

"It's not like I'm not coming back, what's the matter?" Lin Yang said with a smile.

"It's about being in the hive plane...... Lily said in a hurry, and finally decided to confess: "Actually, Lin Yang...... Along the way, I was caught by you at first, just like a captive, I tried to escape many times, and that time I bathed in the creek, I thought about escaping, but unfortunately you showed up later. On the Lonely Mountain, when your soul entered the elven dragon fossil and almost died, I assassinated you, and almost succeeded......"

"Don't talk about it." Lin Yangyun smiled lightly: "Let it pass in the past, you confess these to me, it is enough to prove that you will always follow me, who has not made mistakes, now we are like a family, I also treat you as my own sister, there are still many things to do in the future, there is a lot to go, go to sleep, it's not early." ”

"Thank you, thank you......" Lily's eyes were moist, and she was almost about to shed tears, so she quickly turned her head and turned to leave.
