027, Flower Demon Four Arms
Talos turned to look, only to see Richard staggering towards him.
He looked in a bad state, his face was pale, there was not a trace of blood on his lips, and there was only a frightening white in his eyes.
The hair, shoulders, waist and abdomen were wrapped around a large amount of tattered white substance, a bit like cotton wool, and it seemed that there was an extra layer of snow on the body out of thin air.
"Mr. Talos, I'm out of breath......" Richard thumped weakly to his chest, each word making his face even paler, "I'm so tired." โ
He looked terrified, and sat on the ground almost like a broken man when he was sure he had caught Talos' attention, not caring about what was down there.
Despite being the master of the watch world, Talos had nothing to do about the anomaly that had happened to Richard, as he had no idea the cause of the horrific change.
"Relax, I'll help you with my treatment now. โ
Talos subconsciously comforted, and hurriedly took out a spell scroll from the spatial ring, which recorded a white magic, holy light healing technique.
A soft, milky glow was born out of thin air and fell on Richard, relieving his pain and dispelling his inner fears.
"Strange, what happened to Richard? He was fine when we met yesterday, could it be that he was polluted by gluttony or jealousy, shouldn't it, the other creatures put into the watch world were not affected. โ
Among the many creatures that entered the surface world, only the three-eyed octopus, which served as the carrier of Talos's first plane descent, was contaminated by [gluttony], and the piranha flower was the second one that Talos was looking forward to.
In the warm light, Richard regained a little strength and struggled to express his thoughts: "I'm so sleepy, I really want to sleep......"
"Don't, listen, Richard, show your will as a bloodline knight, you'll be back soon"
Remembering the people in the play who fell asleep and never woke up, Talos shouted encouragement, trying to help Richard defeat the mutation, but the latter had already closed his eyes.
More white matter emerges from Richard's body, which soon winds around him into a white ball.
"This can't be a cocoon, right?" Talos could feel the faint breath and life breath still in the white cocoon, "Yes, Richard inherited the bloodline of the eight-eyed giant spider, could it be a sign that the Parker family has been promoted to the third order?"
"But haven't you heard that spiders need to weave cocoons, or is it that the bloodline has mutated under the influence of the surface world?"
At this point, Talos was not as worried as he was just now, and there was still a vague hint of anticipation.
He had a hunch that when Richard broke out of the cocoon, he would probably have been promoted to the third order, or something unexpected would happen.
Moving Richard's cocoon back to the cabin, Talos continued to walk towards the hillside where the man-eating flowers were planted, and in the distance he saw the man-eating flowers transplanted from the Earth God Domain Cemetery and scattered all over the mountains.
This giant man-eating flower that grows in the Terra plane has the characteristics of a solitary flower, and the surface part can be generally divided into three parts, the main plant (the main feeding organ), the secondary plant (biting, and emitting an attractive fragrance), and the thousands of vines (entwined to capture prey).
The moment Talos swam to the bottom of the mountain, the entire hillside trembled, and the man-eating flowers, who didn't look much different from before, pulled out the hidden vines from the ground, stood up, and suddenly changed from "plant" to "plant-type monster".
"Great, the cannibal flower has really become a brand new species under the pollution of the original ** jealousy!"
Talos was pleasantly surprised, his decision to transplant the cannibal flower was not wrong, and he immediately swam faster and entered the flower bush to take a closer look.
I saw that this new species, which he named the Flower Demon, was shaped like a giant flower covered with vines, and the bottom was covered with dense flowers and vines.
The head of the flower demon is very huge, the diameter of the largest one is more than 7, the central flower disc is warm yellow or warm orange, surrounded by pink, orange, red or purple petals, the color is very bright, and there is a circle of tender green leaves around the outermost part, which looks extremely beautiful and harmless.
Talos guessed that this was the purpose of the flower demons, because when they disguised themselves as ordinary plants, the flowers were indeed very beautiful, and once a prey approached, the flower plate in the center of the giant flower could split into six pieces and open into a large mouth to devour the other party.
The vines beneath the giant flowers are thick and thin, the thickest ones are comparable to the big arms of an adult, and the thin ones are only the size of a thumb, but they are all very flexible and cannot be cut by ordinary swords.
These vines can be divided into two types according to the different ends, the first type has small flowers at the end, the number is relatively scarce, generally the small flower demon will not exceed fifteen pairs, the medium-sized flower demon only has more than thirty pairs, growing on the left and right sides of the giant flower, can bite the prey or spray highly poisonous pollen from it.
The other type takes the form of a ball with a hard spike larger than an adult fist, like a meteor hammer that can hammer targets, bind and wrap around enemies, and shoot highly corrosive acid liquids from them.
"Acid, corrosion, poison, you have inherited the power of jealousy. โ
Although the flower demons had no eyes, they could sense the arrival of Talos, and gently shook their bodies, sprinkling delicate petals of different colors.
With the help of omnipotent perception, Talos soon learned that the number of flower demons, fifty small flower demons (first order), twelve medium flower demons (second order), and the number of man-eating flowers that still maintained their plant type without mutating at about three hundred was probably a limited number that Envy could pollute at this stage.
Coupled with the three-eyed octopus in the lake, whose number was above forty and basically all of them had reached the second order, this strength could be compared to the guards he had when he went out on an adventure to Black Dragon Island last time.
The only regret is that the flower demon takes root in the earth through the vines, and the speed of movement is very slow, and the giant flowers and vines on the surface only occupy one-third of the flower demon's body, and the most critical part is hidden deep underground, and it usually captures prey through attractive fragrances, bright colors, and vines themselves.
However, just like the Three-Eyed Octopus started its second round of evolution, Talos is very much looking forward to the subsequent evolution and mutation of the Flower Demon.
"Now, it's time to go out and have a full meal. โ
The Second Plane Advent was successfully completed, his strength was promoted to the third order, and [Jealousy] was successfully stripped from his body, and he had to treat himself well.
But then, there was a faint sharp pain below his shoulder, reminding him that Talos's body was the main body, composed entirely of flesh and blood, and that his lower arm was breaking out.
There are three multi-armed races in the Sainz plane, the Naga, the Rakshasa Lionman, and the Weaver Spider, the first two of which will grow a second pair of arms after being promoted to the third order.
For Talos, the time for his lower arm to grow was delayed by six days due to the arrival of the plane, at which point the will returned, and the body reacted naturally.
"There's no time left to inform Dolores and Sephiroth. โ
With this in mind, Talos took out a handful of peas from the spatial ring and stuffed them into his mouth, replenished his physical energy, swam to the lake, and linked his consciousness to the magic web ring.
"Good news, your son/brother was successfully promoted to the third rank, just a minute ago. โ
If it was a normal time, Talos would definitely show off his handful, carefully checking the replies word by word, although the third order was not unusual for the other three.
But how to say that, the important thing is not the thing itself, but the person, he is Talos Nepton, but at this moment he only hopes that the consciousness that is organizing the language can be faster, and he urgently needs the help and guidance of Sandra and others.
This can't be blamed on Talos, for any naga to grow an arm is both an anticipation and a terrifying thing, because the pain is so intense!
A brand new pair of arms, including the humerus, ulna, metacarpals, phalanges, and other tissues such as blood vessels and muscles, will grow out of nothing in just seven days, reaching the level of the middle arm.
The process that would have taken seventeen years to grow into the same as Talos' current arm was compressed into seven days, and pain was inevitable.
"The bad news is that he doesn't know how to deal with the impending lower arm at the moment, and what's worse is that he's already in the throes. โ
When Emma grew her lower arm before, Talos was just a blessing, happy more than worried, because he couldn't empathize, and at this moment he really felt it, just the labor pain before growing her lower arm was three points more intense than the pain suffered in the process of lifting the bloodline seal.
Considering that many women, four-armed Naga claimed that it was a process that was more painful than childbirth, and that it would last seven days, Talos thought his face must be paler than that of a rotting ghoul soaked in water.
As usual, Talos's remarks were quick to elicit replies, the first being Leonhard.
"I'm so proud of you, Tar. Don't worry about anything, find a place with water, take off your clothes, there is nothing left, soak in it, find the pile of magic items that your mother prepared for you before you go, there is a scarlet magic potion in it, drink it. โ
Talos endured the pain, and sure enough, he found the magic potion Leonhard said in the spatial ring, and he was not impressed.
"And then?"
Then everything goes naturally, and the blood flowing through Naga's body automatically completes the process of growing her lower arms. โ
"But"
Talos was a little scared, after all, this was the first time, and he would definitely be very calm when he grew his upper arms in the future, if he had the opportunity.
"Don't worry, growing your lower arms isn't as scary as you think, there's only one thing you need to do"
"Endure the pain. Talos said to himself, and that was exactly what he feared.
"Nope. Sandra replied, "Sharpen your will." โ
Talos preferred not to have been mentored by Sandra, he wasn't sure if he would be fully awake when the growth process began, and wished not to howl like the dead and alive who were tortured on the walls of the unbelievers until his throat was hoarse.
"It's a bit difficult, but it's fair to say that this is a good opportunity to exercise my mental will, and I swear by my personal honor. Emma reassured, "Believe in yourself, Tรกr, you are the most confident of all the people I know." โ
"yes, I just learned the Iron Will a few days ago, and I'm going to collapse later. Talos laughed to himself.
Later, Sandra seemed to try to say something of encouragement, but the intense pain pulled Talos's mind away from the Ring of the Web, and pressed all his attention into the abyss of pain.
Talos had never experienced such intense pain, and by the time the first wave of pain hit, his body had already begun to scream before he realized it.
A hot current converged slightly down his shoulder, and the burning sensation was so intense that Talos even wondered if their ingredients were boiling molten iron, pouring directly onto the fragile flesh and blood, causing the bones to burn and the flesh to melt.
Then another wave of pain struck, and Talos felt his muscles convulse and twitch all over his body, and the snake's tail was unnaturally entwined, writhing in the lake, like a water snake whose body was tied in a dead knot and constantly struggling, and like a loach that was thrown into a pan of oil alive and bouncing around.
As he breathed, Talos noticed that there were two extra flesh sprouts in the place where the lower arms had grown in advance on the Terra plane, which were pregnant with bones and flesh, and were rapidly absorbing the body's energy for growth and development.
If only this body was also made entirely of energy, Talos thought hopefully in the midst of the pain.
Time passed little by little, and the pain came round and round like a tidal wave, only rising, not receding.
The two half-long lower arms are like two high-speed rotary electric drills with sharp blades piercing into the body, running wildly.
Talos died in pain, screaming hoarsely at first, but then he didn't have the strength to vent his pain, just like he had just worried, and his throat was temporarily dumb.
He longed to faint, but his consciousness became more and more awake under the effect of the pain, and without the slightest numbness, Talos began to understand the true meaning of Sandra to hone her will.
Anyway, I'm the man who has experienced the pain of childbirth from now on, and Talos lies on the back of the earthly python's broad snake, trying to find a way to distract himself.
As his lower arm split his five fingers, Talos grabbed three Medusa snakes in his hands, and the vipers struggled violently and let out a sharp hiss.
As powerful muscles develop in his lower arms, Talos manages to salvage the stupid things he did in the second grade of elementary school in his previous life......
However, with little success, he struggled in pain, accepted his fate, and continued to try new methods unwillingly.
Talos had never been more grateful for his status as a Bloodline Knight, and when it came to noon on the sixth day, the tide of pain that had lasted for six days finally slowly receded.
By this time he was mentally exhausted, and the sheer pain forced him to stay awake, and the peas he had obtained from the Marine Druid Labs were depleted.
As the two moons slowly rose into the night sky on the night of the sixth day, one of Talos' lower arms finally grew.
At this moment, although Talos was extremely weak and exhausted, he also reached an unprecedented peak, stronger than the four-armed Naga state in the Terra plane! 2k reading net
