Chapter 7: Skin is Evolving
A void creature fled for its life in a panic, as if some fierce god was chasing it from behind. The spikes on its body dimmed, its hind legs disappeared, and a pair of dragonfly-like wings on its back were also broken, and two pieces of rotten kites stuck to its back. Despite this, it fled with all its might, with its wings in full force.
'Boom'.
A slight sound was accompanied by a burst of blue-purple light, and the void creature's escape stopped, the expression on its face, if it had one, froze. The body twitched weakly, and planted it diagonally in the direction of black smoke.
Although he killed the void creature, Yi Fan's expression was very struggling, his face was full of reluctance, but the black silk thread on his left arm stretched out more than ten meters like a rubber band, tying up a big tree and pulling Yi Fan over, just in front of the corpse of the void creature.
It's useless to suffocate your face to the color of pig liver. Yi Fan watched as the black silk threads condensed into a bloody mouth, easily engulfing the corpse of the void creature, and it looked like Yi Fan had a man-sized package in his hand. After chewing a few times, the 'package' gradually shrunk, and after a while, it returned to the appearance of black silk threads, flowing backwards along the wrist.
Yi Fan is as uncomfortable as eating.
Alex felt his emotions and despised him: "Why, even I took care of the food and drink, what else are you dissatisfied with?" Do you want to eat it with your own mouth? ”
The corners of Yi Fan's eyes twitched unconsciously. The black thread is part of Alex's body. Although he had seen Alex eat many times in the past few days, he still couldn't help the disgust in his heart. Alex's eating would make Yi Fan feel full, and at the same time, a part of the pure void energy was fed back into his body, which was twice as fast as his own cultivation. But Yi Fan rejects this way of drinking blood very much in his heart.
A full man does not know that a hungry man is hungry.
Alex tried to teach him a lesson with human proverbs, but he felt that quoting human proverbs was cheap, and he held back.
"You seem to have other questions?" Alex ate and drank to his heart's content, changing the subject, and he was in touch with Yi Fan, and he could keenly feel his mood changes.
"That's right, I've been thinking about a lot of things these days, and there are a few things I don't understand."
"Ask."
Yi Fan said: "Your body is a black silk thread, right?" ”
Seeing that Alex was silent, Yi Fan had an answer, smiled and continued to ask:
"What is the cultivation level of the Rune Continent?"
"Mortal level, low, middle and high third; Then there is the transcendental, such beings have begun to detach themselves from the essence of human beings, and are divided into high and low classes; Legend has it that there are also ascenders, whose life forms are no longer understood by humans. The higher ones are called 'gods' by you, humans. ”
"There are so many grades, I am the mortal level at the bottom..."Yi Fan was a little depressed. When he heard the word 'god', he was particularly suspicious of the existence of 'god', but from time to time there would be rumors on the mainland that a certain sect believed in such and such a god. I don't know if that's what you're referring to?
"Then how is my current strength in the mortal-level lifeforms you said?"
This question Alex is familiar with. It was shocked, and replied, "This little bit of power, but it has just jumped out of the ranks of ants, what is it?" Since you asked, I will also answer you clearly, in the mortal level, your physical body can be regarded as medium, and if you count the void skin, your combat power is doubled, and you can be called a high mortal level. ”
"Superior mortal?" Alex explains the importance of rank, with a difference between the higher and the lower being an infantry regiment.
Yi Fan danced with his hands and smiled.
"It's just a mere mortal."
Alex didn't want to deal with him, shame on him. Mortal level, high point and low point are like that, not much stronger than ants. But the host in front of him was as happy as a fart, which made Alex a little unhappy.
"I said, as my host, can you have some success? Only then will you be as happy as a fart, and when you come into contact with those god-like lifeforms in the future, you won't..."Alex's voice suddenly stopped, as if to mention something from the past, and it began to fall silent.
Yi Fan listened very carefully, and Alex's sudden pause made him very unhappy, and urged: "You should continue to speak, after coming into contact with the god-level, you will..." He suddenly widened his eyes, with a ghostly look: "You, have you ever seen a god-level life?!" ”
"Nope." Alex replied weakly.
Yi Fan will be suspicious, he doesn't believe all this sentence, and there is a faint guess in his heart.
"Don't talk about this, in the past few days of training, have you felt that this skin is growing?" Alex changed the subject.
Yi Fan has gradually felt the existence of that energy in the past few days, and he has been able to exist or hide it according to his mind. It's just that now he is defenseless in the Void Continent, and this skin just covers his shame and cold, and he doesn't consume any energy, so he has been wearing it. Touching his head, this layer of skin wrapped Yi Fan like a zongzi, and his head was like wearing a big helmet, with only a transparent film on the eyes. There wasn't even a vent, but it didn't affect his breathing. Alex now said that his skin was growing, and Yi Fan also felt that the bulge on his head seemed to be a little bigger, but he was now wearing a helmet, which did not affect his handsome face!
Yi Fan has also tested the skin's defenses. More than once, a void creature slashed at the body but did not break it. The moment the blades touched it, it was like a stone falling into a calm lake, causing a circle of ripples, and these ripples seemed to decompose the destructive power to the whole body. These changes were very subtle, and Yi Fan squinted and observed for a long time before he could see some doorways.
In the end, Yi Fan broke off the forelimb of a praying mantis-like void and used fifty percent of his strength to finally make a small cut in this skin, but it was repaired after a few breaths, and his defense and recovery were very strong.
After receiving Yi Fan's affirmative answer, Alex looked a little angry: "No wonder my recovery speed is so slow." I didn't expect that in addition to you, this layer of skin is also diverting the energy I absorbed! And I feel like it's no less than me! ”
Yi Fan's expression was tense and tense, and he couldn't hold back and didn't laugh out loud. Alex, who almost snatched him away some time ago, can make such a fierce god suffer a loss, Yi Fan likes to hear it.
But Alex's voice was very serious. "Don't laugh yet, this thing is so evil that it can get a piece of the pie from me, and it comes at least from creatures of my level!"
Seeing that Yi Fan didn't care much, Alex said helplessly: "You already know my situation very well, we live and die together, I won't harm you." But we don't know anything about this skin, so let's get rid of it as soon as possible. The Void skin fluctuated slightly.
Yi Fan was anxious: "What do you want to do?" Don't forget, you can control it, can it also become a sperm and take me away? "Half of Yi Fan's current combat power is on this skin, and he doesn't want to lose anything.
Speaking of 'snatching', Alex was a little embarrassed. "I can control it at the moment, and I really don't feel any life emotions in it. However, it gave me a very disturbing feeling. I still think it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible. ”
Spreading his hands, Yi Fan said, "Then do you know how to get rid of it?" ”
"I don't know."
Yi Fan sneered. "Then don't worry, even if it does have any danger, I might have been strong by then."
Alex's emotions are somewhat mixed. However, at the moment, its strength is too weak, and there is nothing it can do about this kraft candy-like skin. The only thing that is certain at the moment is that this layer of skin comes from void creatures. Let this skin be on Yi Fan's body first, and it can greatly enhance Yi Fan's chance of survival for the time being. When it and Yi Fan become stronger, there may be a way.
Yi Fan touched his chest, and the place where the stinger hit was smooth.
……
Runeland, Ionia.
A group of boys and girls lined up quietly, walking slowly behind a middle-aged man with a long sword. The middle-aged man wears a bun, a short beard, and a little mark on the center of his eyebrows, giving people the feeling of fairy wind and bones.
"Master Yi, can we find that thing?" A little girl, about eight or nine years old, asked timidly. She was wearing a small yellow dress, and her porcelain doll-like face was stained with some dust, but it didn't affect her cuteness in the slightest. The little girl nervously tugged at the hand of a red-clothed girl with a sword on her back, and followed her inch by inch.
The girl in red is only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a delicate face, and she will be a first-class beauty for two years. The eyebrows and eyes are full of stubbornness, and there is a temperament that does not admit defeat. She held the little girl's hand tightly and did not leave it for a moment. The two girls are somewhat similar in appearance, and it can be seen that they are sisters. Born in the war-torn land of Ionia, they can only learn to be strong from an early age.
Master Yi turned around and gave the little girl a gentle smile. "What's wrong Xiaoyan, are you tired?"
Xiao Yan pouted and shook her head stubbornly: "Xiao Yan is not tired, Xiao Yan can keep up with Master Yi." The morning light shone on her dirty little face, as if the unskilled little one had smeared his mother's blush for the first time. The two little feet unconsciously swapped and became independent, making her words really not credible.
The girl in red nervously observed Master Yi's expression, bowed her head and reprimanded: "Xiaoyan, don't disturb Master if it's okay, if you are tired, I will carry you on my back." ”
Xiao Yan lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "Sister Shen Yu, Xiao Yan didn't say she was tired... I'm just a little hungry. The boys and girls around her were amused by her innocent words, and the atmosphere that had been shrouded in gloom dissipated a lot.
Master Yi looked at Shen Yu, the girl who bowed her head and reprimanded Xiaoyan, and the young girls who laughed around him, but sighed secretly in his heart. The children he took in were all orphans who lost their families in the war, and the attack of Noxus destroyed countless families and destroyed the happy childhoods of countless children.
Even the moment he saw his village being razed, he was furious, let alone these young children. And now, the haze of Noxus has not yet dissipated, and Ionia has begun to appear scattered void creatures hunting again! Master Yi tried his best to barely protect the children.
Rao, when the Void creatures first appeared, two children were taken from their lives! The moment the innocent expression of the past instantly froze, Master Yi really hated himself for not being fast enough!
He was even more desperate to find a legendary killing weapon, with which not only Noxus but even the Void could be fought against. Just now... Yi looked at the group of oil bottles behind him, sighed and said, "I have dry food here, let's sit down, eat something and leave." ”
Boom! Boom!
Master Yi heard at least three or four swallowing sounds. It is at the age of growth and development that they get hungry faster than adults. This group of children was placed in this wilderness, and even without the Noxians, the creatures of the void could be slaughtered; Or even starve to death without finding food. But Master Yi couldn't go fast with them, and the plan to find the artifact was far away.
At least settle the group of children, and I'll be on my way again.
