Chapter 48: An Accidental Discovery

After all the dust had cleared, a giant necromantic creature had finally broken the ground, but I was stupid.

"Giant?"

The creature in front of you is not the creature that should be here now, and there seems to be a problem with both time and place. This guy in front of me is clearly a Cambrian marine arthropod, a super paleontocrat several eras earlier than the dinosaurs, I never thought that I could summon the undead of this kind of thing in the territory of Anubis, it stands to reason that it should not appear on land at all, and this era is too bad, right?

I watched as the monster, bigger than the playing field, slowly stood up, and its body looked like a crab with a long tail, except that its shell was not full of angularity like a crab's shell, but its shell looked smoother, like an upside-down saucer.

The monster stood up and spun around, because it didn't have eyes, so I didn't know if the thing was paying attention to me, but it was definitely looking for the smell of the crystal powder I had just sprinkled. For undead creatures, the powder of the dark crystal is the best nourishment, but the thing in front of you doesn't seem to be of much use when summoned in front of you. All I wanted was to summon a skeleton or a ghost or something to ask for directions, but instead of summoning such a big guy, I didn't want to say if it could communicate, even if it could speak human words, how much crystal powder would I need for it to help?

After thinking about it, I still plan to change positions and call again, this big guy is not the object of asking for directions, who knew that I just turned around and was about to fly away when I felt the huge wind pressure behind me. In my panic, I flashed in the air, and a huge steel whip fell vertically, almost carrying me down with me.

The steel whip missed, and several identical steel whips flew next to me, and I hurriedly twisted my body and passed through these thick steel whips.

"You abominable monster, why are you attacking me? I didn't let you do anything, I didn't ask you for a handful of crystal powder in vain, you still want to attack me, do you have a conscience? ”

"Give me all the crystal powder you carry, and I'll let you go." I didn't expect this monster to be able to speak. And it's quite fluent to speak, but the sound is a little loud, and it's almost catching up with the sonic attack.

"You want crystal powder? Yes, I want to ask something, tell me that this crystal powder is yours. I pulled out another handful of crystal powder and shook it.

"I want them all."

Damn, I guessed that this big guy has a big appetite. "No, just say it. Not to mention pulling down. ”

"If you don't say anything, I want crystal powder."

Now I can understand that this guy is not bargaining with me at all, he is just going to snatch all the crystal powder. And didn't want to help at all. I also know a little bit about this kind of creature, after all, they lived in a relatively long time, and there were no moral norms in that era, and all the qiē were based on strength. As long as I'm better than you. If you are happy to bite you, I will bite you, and if you are happy to kick you, I will kick you twice, and you will not be able to beat me anyway, so you don't have to worry about your retaliation at all. As long as you have the strength, you can go sideways.

"Okay, you want crystal powder, right?" I smiled evilly and took out a handful of crystal powder of the Light Crystal from the phoenix dragon space, and then spilled it.

The crystal powder of the Dark Crystal increases the power of undead creatures. Plays a tonic role. The effect of the Bright Crystal Ground Crystal Powder is completely opposite. It can burn the soul fire of the undead, something very dangerous for the undead. Like the average high-level undead, you don't have to worry about this thing. After all, crystal powder is not a shotgun, as long as it can make gusts of wind, it can blow away, but although this thing in front of it is big, in the final analysis, it is still a low-level undead, so it definitely can't deal with these crystal powder lands. As soon as the shining crystal powder fell on the monster, a white holy fire immediately rose, and the monster screamed and rolled desperately in the flames, and at first it could still wave its whip and strong tentacles to go crazy, but then it couldn't even move, and could only let out a low moan.

I flew over the guy and landed directly on his body, and tapped on its shell, only to hear a metallic echo. "Your shell is good, I'll test the hardness." As I spoke, I smashed it with an eternal hammer. At first, I didn't use too much force, but the hammer went down with a bang, and Eternity was bounced back. "Yes, there is value in use. Little Dragon Girl, Ling, Crystal, come out. How about you help me see this thing? ”

Ling first knocked it with his hand, and then smashed it twice with his staff, only to find that he couldn't smash it. The little dragon girl was so simple, she directly stretched out a green jade finger and drew a circle on the edge of the carapace, and then gently pounded it in the center of the circle and cut a piece of the carapace in a circle.

"This thing is very hard, almost on par with the claws of our Divine Dragon Clan."

Ling cut off the little dragon girl and took it and held it in the palm of her hand, and then saw that a green flame suddenly rose in her palm, and the disc quickly shrank and condensed in the flames, and finally turned into a mass of inky black substance. As Ling's fingers clicked a few times, the black substance floated above Ling's palm and gradually unfolded into a thin circular plate.

"I didn't expect this thing to be refined."

"How's the hardness?"

Ling handed the things to the little dragon girl, who tapped her fingernails a few times before shaking her head. "It's already more than my dragon claw, it seems that this is not the limit of hardness, if there is good equipment for finishing, I believe it should become harder."

Crystal took the flake and looked at it, "Although the hardness is very good, this thing will isolate the transmission of magic power, if you use it as armor or weapons, then it will become a tabula rasa equipment?" ”

"Don't be afraid, can we use it to produce puppets? Anyway, puppets don't use magic, as long as they are hard enough. ”

We figured out the best use for this thing in a few sentences, but I still think it's a shame. "Although this guy is not small in size, there shouldn't be many materials left after tempering, and it seems that he can only produce a few particularly strong elite-level puppets!"

"I don't think so." Ling pointed to the ground. "I just felt a little bit of a soul like this

I've just discovered a lot, and there should be a lot of this creature here, and if you want to refine this substance, I think it's definitely enough to make magic puppets. ”

"Maybe oops......!" I suddenly felt a pain in my feet, and I quickly jumped out of the way, only to see a strange creature lying where I had just stood with an arc of electricity. "Damn, it's a shame to be bitten by such a little thing!"

"Why does this thing look so familiar?" Ling finger moved, and the little thing immediately flew up. Then, under Ling's command, he flipped in the air and turned into a bottom-up appearance. We looked at the little thing, and then at the big guy lying next to us. Now I understand it completely. This little thing is the juvenile of the big guy.

"I think our resource supply problem has been solved." Crystal looked at the little thing that was still in the lightning arc and said, "This little guy is still alive, just bring some back and raise it." ”

"After living in the mother's body for so long and not dying, this little thing shouldn't have a long growth cycle, right?" Although I don't know as much about the laws of economics as roses, at least I'm not stupid, and if these things grow too long, they don't have any feeding value.

Fortunately, Ling answered our questions. "I just checked this big guy's soul with a soul search, so you don't have to worry. The reason why these little ones haven't died for so long is because they are guarded by the mother's soul in the mother's body. The motherhood of this creature is very strong. Even if he died, he was still defending his child, but just now it was because he was injured by the bright crystal powder too strictly. That's why it was impossible to control the internal protection of the space, and the little guy ran out. ”

"How long do they grow? Can it be put into practice? ”

"The growth cycle is only six months."

"What? Six months? "I looked at the little thing floating in mid-air, not much bigger than a crab, and at the big thing at my feet, which was more than two football fields, and I couldn't imagine how this thing could make itself more than 100,000 times larger in six months. Isn't this like blowing up a balloon!

Ling suddenly moved the little thing in front of me and said, "Actually, I don't think these things need to be killed at all. ”

"Why?"

"Because it's an arthropod, their shell can't grow with their body, so they need to molt constantly during the six-month growth period. Other words......! ”

The little dragon girl grabbed it and said, "That means we don't have to do it." Raw materials fall off them naturally, don't they? ”

"Correct." Ling continued, "When the inner shell is formed, the shell will be cracked by the internal muscle tissue, and we only need to collect the fragments to refine this high-hardness raw material, there is no need to kill them at all. Moreover, this creature can actually be domesticated. When necessary, it can also be used as a war machine. ”

"Really machine?" The little dragon girl couldn't understand what Ling Di meant.

I helped explain, "These things are the size of two football fields. The shell was as hard as the city wall, and with little treatment on its back, a heavy artillery position could be built. By then, we'll have a mobile battery. ”

"It's not just the battery." Ling added: "Giant is an aquatic arthropod. Although it can move freely on land. But at the end of the day, it's a marine animal, so it's not primarily a battery for it. Rather, it acts as a diving battleship. With the hardness of its outer shell, there is basically no need to worry about the opponent's artillery, and it is an aquatic animal itself. Diving is as easy as walking for it. Also, this thing doesn't do magic, but it discharges. There are also dozens of steel pipes that are thicker than oil pipelines. You can dominate the oceans with physical attacks alone. Even on land. With its tentacle damage, destroying the walls is no problem. ”

"Does this thing have a weakness?"

"Yes. It has only a soft shell on its abdomen. It's not as hard as our ground armor. So......! ”

"So as long as someone gets under its belly, you can kill it lightly, right?"

Ling nodded: "Theoretically, that's the case, but the premise is that you have to avoid those electrified wrists and feet first, and if it suddenly comes down, it is estimated that no one can guarantee that they will not be squashed." ”

After listening to Ling's introduction, I made a natural decision - to raise giants on a large scale. This kind of thing is so useful, the shell that molts during the growth period can be used as smelting materials, and when it grows up, it can also fight, and the shell on the body can be recycled after the war is killed, except that the meat can't be eaten, there is basically no defect.

Since I decided to recycle and breed, I have to collect a large number of small giants and bring them back to be raised on a large scale, so I specially opened the space door and released the Qilin Warrior and the Lingyin Knight to help me collect the shells of the giant undead and the living hatchlings everywhere, in order to facilitate the completion of the space door in a while, I left Ling Ye behind, she can help the ** vertical space door and summon creatures. Considering that it might not be safe for Ling to go back alone, I left Xiaolongnu and Bai Xue behind for a while to protect each other, and Bai Xue could also act as a mount for Ling.

After telling them to finish moving their things, I will go back to Isenger and wait for me, while I will leave here with the other pets to find the Wish Fruit first. Leaving this land of right and wrong first, I found a place where there were no big guys, and I sprinkled a handful of crystal powder again, but fortunately nothing strange crawled out this time. Instead, an arm stretched out from the ground that was still covered with dry muscles like beef jerky. I didn't wait for him to crawl out slowly. A hand grabbed him and pulled him out.

"Don't pull it, it's going to fall!" The guy under the ground screamed as soon as his head was pulled out, but unfortunately he shouted too late, and before I could let go, I felt a sudden lightness in my hand, and as a result, the guy fell back to the ground, and I only had half an arm left in my hand.

"Huh...... This one...... I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be so unsturdy! I quickly gave him back that half of my arm. Then he sprinkled black crystal powder on the fracture, and the two arms were immediately butt together. For these undead, dark crystal powder is a panacea. Govern everything.

"What are you calling me for?" The corpse fiddled with its new arm and said, "I don't have any skills, you."

Battle. I'm sure I'll fall for sure. ”

"I don't want you to fight, and I won't summon you like this if you want to fight? I was trying to ask something. ”

"That's fine, I can sue you as long as I know the land, but you have to give me some crystal powder."

I immediately took out a handful of crystal powder. "I want to ask if you saw a young girl in green passing by here?"

"Isn't it the one who wears leaves? A girl with a fruity scent? ”

"You see?"

"Yes. She ran past where I was lying and ran all the way there. ”

I looked in the direction he was pointing, and the Heart Dao Wish Fruit really changed the direction of progress, and it seemed that Xiao Chun's analysis was correct. "Thank you very much." I handed him the crystal powder and immediately chased after him.

This place in the underworld is a veritable ghost place. It can be said that there are ghosts everywhere, and I easily tracked down the whereabouts of the Wish Fruit Land after inquiring along the way. It seemed that she changed direction and changed courses several times, and finally turned into a direction in the opposite direction of the starting direction. Fortunately, he didn't change direction after that. Based on the direction of her movement, I guess her destination should be the city of Bizo. This is a relatively large undead colony under Anubis. It is inhabited by a large number of undead and dark creatures. It is said that there are still many low-level gods of the underworld that can be found over there.

Since I predicted the destination in advance, I didn't bother to ask all the way, but flew directly to the destination to find it. The shape of the city is more shabby. The walls of the city are more than five meters high, covered with loess, and look tattered as if they could fall down at any moment. The houses in the city are basically civil structures, and the appearance is similar to the city wall, and they are all listed as dangerous houses by me.

After inquiring about the necromantic warriors guarding the gate at the gate, I realized that the Wish Fruit had just entered the city from here a few minutes ago, and I sure enough, I was not following the wrong direction. After entering the city, I flew all the way to the first fork in the road, and then used crystal powder as a bargaining chip to inquire about an undead businessman on the side of the road, and learned that the Wish Fruit followed a few undead into the OnePlus store not far away, and I hurriedly chased after it.

Many people believe that the underworld is a transit station for souls, and that when a person in the yang world dies, the soul will come here to wait in line for reincarnation, and then return to the yang world. In fact, it is not the case at all, there is also a permanent population in the underworld, and these undead will not return to the human world at all, and even some of the undead are natives born and raised, and they are not souls left by the death of creatures in the upper realm at all. Like my demon pet phantom, he is a spirit body generated in the human world, and he also has many characteristics of the undead, but because it is naturally generated in the human world, he is not afraid of light magic. Since the human world can also generate spirit bodies, let alone the underworld, it is really normal to generate spirit bodies here. Because there is a long-term residence of the undead here, there will be some simple transactions before the natural undead, but because the ** and demand of the undead are not much, this kind of transaction is still very backward and not too frequent, but in any case, the transaction is still a deposit. For example, the undead shop in front of me is one of them.

Seeing me walk into the store, a full-body** big-eyed MM immediately greeted him wearing a wide robe, but because the whole body is full of water, it looks more close-fitting, and it seems to be slightly transparent.

"Excuse me, sir, what do you need?" MM asked enthusiastically.

I didn't answer her, but asked in surprise, "Why are you like this?" Fell into the water? There doesn't seem to be a river around here! "The undead don't have to drink water, they certainly don't dig wells or store water, and there are no natural waters around here, so I wonder how she could do the same thing as she fished in the river.

The girl explained in a very flat tone why I almost fainted. "That...... Actually, I was dragged into the deep water by the Nile crocodile and drowned a few days ago while cleaning the clay pot by the river, because it will take a long time to be reincarnated, so I got a job here...... "The girl also rolled up her robe a little bit to let me see her little leg with bones, according to her, the meat there was bitten off by a crocodile, and I gasped for air when I heard it."

Now I understand, this MM is a water ghost, so it's **. The water on her body was not water at all, it was her memory of death, just like a ghost who burned to death often caught fire all over her body when she went to the underworld. As for her big eyes, they seemed to have been suffocated from before drowning, so they felt very big.

I didn't say what I meant at once, but pretended to ask about the goods, and then I asked about the fruit of my wishes. I lied to the water ghost MM and said that it was my friend, and the two said that they would meet here and asked her if she had seen it.

The water ghost MM immediately said that my friend had gone with a few undead and the boss who had come to buy things, and then she was very enthusiastic to take me in. I politely declined her kindness and walked to the back of the storefront, as soon as I opened the curtain, I smelled a faint smell of burnt, and when I looked closely, I found a charred corpse lying next to the curtain, and there was fire in several places, and most of its body had become charred, and the smell should be on it.

I ignored the corpse, and was about to step forward when I felt my ankle grab. When I turned my head, I saw that it was the charred corpse that did it. If people with bad psychological elements in general, they should be dizzy, but my psychological elements have always been perverted, and I don't react to this at all. "Let go." I said lukewarmly.

Not only did the charred corpse not let go, but also stretched out his other hand. I didn't bother to talk nonsense with him when he was so uncooperative, and after two clicks, the charred corpse lay back down, and I continued to walk towards the courtyard with two burning arms on my ankles.

The Egyptians built their houses very strangely, they had land, but they liked to build the houses so densely that the backyard looked like a labyrinth. I pushed open the deepest gate of the courtyard and stepped inside, only to be stunned on the spot.
