Chapter 5: Bomb Demon Descendants I
Today, half a year later, the Temple of the Dead is no longer full of beheadings and flesh cuts, and the corpses that once piled up, except for a very small amount for backup, have been consumed in the transformation process and converted into energy or other substances.
In the huge space of the Temple of the Dead, the most of them are now coffins, horizontally and vertically, row by row, row by column, neat and clear, you know, this is the magic enhancement jar of the body, I don't know, I thought I was in the lair of a vampire or the underground graveyard.
The main material of these coffins is bone, as well as a considerable amount of quartz, and the remaining materials make up less than 3%. The coffin looks very undead at first glance, and it seems to be assembled from the bones of large and small beasts. There are whole sections, coffin nails, bone spurs, and even, the lid of each coffin has a convex skeleton carving. Bai Sensen's bones, supplemented by quartz, are combined to produce this special semi-petrochemical material, with a hazy layer of crystal, the effect is like brushing a layer of lacquer for good wood, giving it a luster like polished ivory.
It can be said that these coffins are the artistic products of a dark tone, and although there are many of them, there is no sloppy detail. At first, Luo Ling thought that this was a handmade product born by executing the orders of the controller without any discount. Later, when I saw the Abyss of Bones, I realized that these beautiful 'bone coffins', which were embedded with an unknown magic array on the side, and the rotten energy liquid flowing down the magic array day and night, were assembled products from the dead world, and had nothing to do with the aesthetic ability of the old lich and the level of the stonemasons of the group of derivative workers.
"Where is that?" Standing on the edge of the largest pool of decaying energy liquid more than 100 meters away directly in front of the White Bone Throne, looking at the throat-like abyss in the pool, which was composed of huge but delicate dynamic white bones, Luo Ling had asked such a question.
Moggug's answer was: another world.
"This is impossible, this is 'the world', an independent space completely isolated from the rest of the world."
"Any space is made up of a specific set of energies and substances, and the difference is only in the way they are arranged and the order in which they are composed. Right? ”
Ling still has a little research on space and plane science, and he knows the basics.
"Whether it is an artifact or a spiritual weapon, it is actually the difference between one level, and this level can be understood as the degree of creativity and technical sophistication. Isn't it? ”
"It can be said that the artifact is better than the spirit weapon, because it uses more profound techniques and more potent forms of energy, which is indeed the difference brought about by the increase in level."
"The first question illustrates the possibility of a reaction point. In other words, even in this enclosed space, there are actually various energies, like a microcosm of the outside world. The first step in the establishment of the Abyss of Bones is to establish a channel with the corresponding energy in this space. ”
"The second question explains the essence of 'Tianxia' being isolated from the outside world because of its high level of 'protection', just like the same energy shield, the ordinary one is 500 defense value, and the powerful one is 5000, or more. However, you don't have the full effect of 'Tianxia' right now, that is, even if its defense value is 50,000, but you only open it to 1,000, then its actual defense value is 1,000. It is not surprising that a channel can be established. ”
In a sense, Moggug used his own power to open a transparent eye on the outer wall of the world, so that he could obtain the matter and energy he needed from the other world. This gave Luo Ling a new understanding of the old lich's professional ability. He called it "sure enough, he is an expert who holds 'diamond diamonds'." ”
The Temple of the Dead has a huge source liquid pool system, and compared to the necromancer, its role is like that of an IT boss, mastering a set of top-level chip production lines. Moggug only needs to devote a part of his time and energy to provide some services to the other world based on the source liquid, and he can exchange it for some of the materials he needs. The Bone Abyss had grown from the thickness of the original mineral water bottle to a diameter of five meters. It was the need of each other that made the two sides willing to maintain a trade channel of this magnitude, and the 'skeleton' was ordered from that world, and then grown like seeds in the source liquid pool of the Temple of the Dead.
"It's really an eye-opener, I never thought that bones can grow, blossom, and even bear fruit like trees." Luo Ling watched with his own eyes as a delicate Easter egg-like magic light bone grew into a standard 'bone coffin' in the source liquid pool. At that time, he was very emotional.
"The growth of human bones will not be much different from trees in essence. It's all a kind of value-added or scale-up behavior. One of the subjects of the undead, osteopathy, is to make the growth of bones meet the needs through a series of techniques, which is not very common with the grafting of plants and the cultivation of improved species? ”
Inspired by the old lich and after studying some of the bone art texts provided by Moggug, Luo Ling has finally made some significant progress in his newly mastered power of 'bone', and if he is willing to take the time to learn it, he will always maintain an extremely high speed of improvement momentum for a long time. It's like letting a person who has increased the development of the brain domain to 30% go back to learning from the textbook in the first year of primary school, and get twice the result with half the effort.
Bang bang! Luo Ling knocked on the top of a pair of bone coffins beside him, and the sound was as dull as a thick sarcophagus. "How's that going on?" He asked Moggug. Every time Luo Ling came to the Temple of the Dead, he had the purpose of inspecting, he would randomly ask some questions about the development progress of the Legion of the Derivation, and would humbly ask the old lich for advice on some derived professional problems. Luo Ling felt that this was like mastering some key points, as the number of points increased, the possibility of connecting the dots became more and more likely, and finally became a net, practiced into a film, and he basically graduated from the intermediate level of the major.
Mogguge invited Luo Ling to a narrow corridor, where there are a large number of research equipment, old magic experimental equipment, newly introduced scientific and technological equipment, and some modified necromantic magic and technology products, such as the kind of canister culture tank, Mogguge likes the smoothness, transparency, homogeneity, and precise size of the cylindrical container made of special glass fiber, but he is very disdainful of the instrument efficiency of the base, so most of the bases of these culture tanks are bone. There are many active tissues connected to blood vessels, which are as greasy and wriggling as the internal organs of monsters, just like the usual impression of undead things, disgusting and evil.
"Master, do you remember the catalyst I mentioned to you once?" Mogguge, who was accompanying Luo Ling, was rarely dressed quite neatly and cleanly. And no longer as usual, there is a sense of obsolescence excavated from a thousand-year-old tomb.
"Hmm...... I have the impression that it is a pilot of the derivative template. Luo Ling didn't know why Moggug suddenly cared so much about his personal image, "Is it the etiquette necessary to communicate with something in the other world?" Just a casual speculation, Luo Ling didn't intend to ask deeply. Regarding all kinds of personal matters, maybe he will take the initiative to say it when he is in a good mood one day.
"Yes, master." Moggug pointed to a derivative in an experimental container with his thin fingers, "This is the catalytic model for the second stage of transformation. Then he pointed to the derivative in a nearby container, "This is the third stage...... And so on. ”
"Are you using these templates to modify a standard, and then modulate it uniformly?"
"Exactly. Although there is no difference in the general direction of transformation, in the details, there is still a need to be corrected, and the derivation of this world is still somewhat different from the derivation of the world I used to live in. If you can't treat them with a rigorous attitude at the lower levels, at the higher levels, I'm afraid there will be fatal deviations that are serious enough to make them scrapped. With the template, you can come up with a complete and practical transformation plan, whether from the perspective of efficiency, or saving, and even the quality of the product, will play a very positive role. ”
"Very good!" Luo Ling praised and said, "So, what is the progress of these derivatives in the bone coffin?" I remember the next time I saw it, it was at the end of the third order. ”
"It's the beginning of the Fourth Order. It will take about another 70 days to move on to Phase 5. ”
"How is the combat power of the fourth stage?" Luo Ling asked.
With a flick of his right hand, a green light shot from the tip of his index finger towards a culture tank, and the surface of the culture tank was flooded with a green light wave, and then the diluted source solution began to gurgle out of the pipe at the base. Immediately afterwards, the giant claws of the heavenly crane like a mechanical arm moved from the track on the side of the wall, buckled the top cover of the cultivation tank, and pulled it up.
An obscure and brief spell came out of Moggug's mouth, and the still ** body in the cultivation tank opened its eyes, as if two clusters of green flames were lit up, bang! It jumped from the incubator to the ground, its movements stiffening and its momentum a little bit.
"Master, how about going to the temporary gladiatorial arena to actually observe it?"
"The Colosseum? …… It seems that you haven't been here these days, and you have added new facilities here. ”
"With the Abyss of White Bones, research and transformation have entered a period of acceleration. The Colosseum was built only yesterday. Moggug said as he walked forward with a ghostly step, next to his assistant and henchman, Bones, carrying a bony prop box. Later, the four-stage derivative body template followed in despair, following in unison, dumbfounded.
After passing through several gloomy halls, Luo Ling followed the old lich to a rather grand hall. The front and back, left and right spans are more than 50 meters, but there is not a single supporting pillar in sight. Even people like Luo Ling, who don't understand architecture, know that this dome is very technical.
The original flat floor is gone, replaced by a ring gladiatorial arena inlaid by countless thick white bones, the design of the gladiatorial arena is very small, there are a total of four VIP stands in the south, south, west, and northwest, facing the direction of the entrance, just facing one, connected by dozens of bone steps.
The interior of the arena is a five-meter-high barrel-shaped arena, with bone walls, sparse bone spurs with curved horns, and gray-white bone floors, which are as tightly interlocked as chain tracks.
Moggug took a thumb-slender, shiny vial from his bone's hand, containing a crimson liquid.
The old lich explained to Luo Ling: "This is a vampire that has been completely tamed, and its combat skills are okay, and it can bring out the combat power of the 4th order derivative body to the fullest. ”
Luo Ling made a gesture of invitation to the old lich, signaling him to let go.
Uncorked the bottle, the crimson liquid immediately turned into a wisp of smoke floating out of the bottle and condensed into a human shape in the air. Mogguge pointed to it, and the smoke drifted towards the Yanqi like a ghost, burrowing into the ears, nose, and mouth, and in just three seconds, he saw that the Yandian's eyes had blood-colored pupils, and more importantly, the unique look of intelligent life.
Moggug pointed to the gladiatorial arena again, and said in demonic language, "Fight." ”
With a whoosh, he jumped into the gladiatorial arena, nearly thirty meters in one jump, and the landing was light and vigorous, and the sound was extremely light.
The old lich took a magic wand more than a ruler long from the bone, cast a spell and chanted a spell, and a green cloud of light appeared in the air of the gladiatorial arena, and in this cloud of light, bone spurs grew downward like buds, blooming on all sides like flowers, and then, more than a dozen monsters fell into the gladiatorial arena.
"This is a temporary passage formed by the connection to the Abyss of Bones." The old lich explained, his left hand spread wide, and with a powerful push forward, a layer of green light spread, and the tips of those lightning rod-like bone spurs at the end of the bone wall of the gladiatorial arena released thunderous magical light, which connected to a thick bone spur extending from the dome, and then formed a light mask like a spire house. The Colosseum became a completely closed place.
Luo Ling didn't pay attention to this, he was very interested in the dozen or so monsters summoned by the old lich. These monsters were all bony creatures, and at least on the surface, Luo Ling didn't see any muscular tissue other than bone. These monsters all look strange, as if they are made of all kinds of bone fragments and bone strips spliced together at will, but if you look closely, there is a certain coordination and rationality. Their elephants are exoskeleton life such as insects, crabs, and lobsters, but they are undoubtedly more vicious, the limbs, the claws and feet, are completely born for battle, they are like a combination of a bunch of weapons, but it is not Luo Jiaying's '3000', but the real blades everywhere.
More than a dozen monsters seemed to be confused by the sudden appearance in this inexplicable place, and they first looked around with their small eyes open, and then began to destroy, trying to leave. After only a few attempts, they passed on their anger to the fourth-order derivative body that was moving their bodies.
Ever since entering the field, the vampire has been doing what looks like a warm-up. He knew that he didn't have much time left, so he hurried to get familiar with his new body, and the entry of more than a dozen monsters, he was very calm, and while moving, he carefully looked at these opponents.
The battle takes place very simply, one side knows its mission, and the other side has a stinky temper like a male cricket in estrus, and the two sides quickly get into a fight. The monsters summoned from the dead world have fierce movements, and their style is like the bugs in "Starship Troopers", but they are much more fierce, charging and dancing, so it is appropriate to describe their fighting style.
Vampires are much more feminine, often arranging traps to cause monsters to fight each other, and will also look for opportunities in the game to strike hard at key parts of the monsters, such as limb junctions.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely a thrilling continuous battle, and the level of tension and excitement is not inferior to the car battle scene that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Especially the vampires with empty hands, facing monsters like crazy people with seven hands and eight feet, and all holding war blades, coupled with the ground not to be chopped at every turn, the walls are dented, and the bodies that have reached hundreds of pounds are thrown out like snow, and a series of sound and light effects such as the crashing walls and floors are enough to satisfy the bloodthirsty psychology of the enthusiast-level fighting maniac audience.
But in Luo Ling's eyes, this is just a fairly compact fight, and the two sides can fight so well because they are evenly matched, and the total strength of the monster side is a little higher than that of the vampire. The vampire had to do everything he could, and even fight to break the net, to have this wonderful thing.
Bang Bang Bang! Luo Ling applauded. "Yes, strength, agility, stamina, resistance, the composite index has been greatly improved, very comprehensive. Supplemented by weapons and equipment, it has a 1:1 victory against ordinary high-level monsters. At what level do you start to specialize? ”
"Fifth Order, Master."
"So, I need to make a decision on the class matching plan of the Legion as soon as possible?"
"Yes, master. You will need some time to systematically understand and learn the various techniques of commanding the Legion. In addition, there has been a breakthrough in the torture side in recent days. The knowledge of the strange cultivation system that is different from magic has been collected to a very high degree, and many of the methods of using energy have found a new way, which is unique, and has extremely high academic and practical value. ”
"Oh? That ancient soul's mouth was pried open? ”
"Finally got off to a good start, and he was willing to help decipher the contents of the prefabricated information storage, and explain them in detail for more non-torture time." ”
Luo Ling nodded, the old lich is an expert in torture, and he doesn't need to remind him, and he also knows that a guy like Luo Yanshui will definitely not bow his head easily, and the current obedience is just to paralyze himself, delay time, and find a chance to get out. To this end, he will indeed pull out some real things, but there is still a big gap between him and revealing key knowledge.
Luo Ling looked back on his experience after coming to Guang'an, it can be said that he has been uneasy, troubles, accidents, one after another, this time he came back from the Northern Regions, and said that he had to concentrate on cultivation for three years and two years, and believed that with the accumulation of materials and information all the time, he could be brave and diligent, and then go to the next level.
During the dialogue between the master and servant, the life and death struggle in the gladiatorial arena is always carried out at a limit frequency. The battle lasted for 17 minutes, and ended with vampire injuries and the death of more than a dozen monsters. In addition to the combat power value of the fourth-order derivative body, Luo Ling was very impressed by the way this vampire froze. Much like him in his early years, he was fierce, sensitive, calm, patient, wild, and daring to fight for his life.
"What's the name of this vampire?"
"Master, I have successfully shattered the part of his memory about personal memories, and those remaining fragments are like pictures he has seen and stories he has heard, and they can no longer have a profound impact on him, so he has no name."
"What about the other vampires?"
"It will take a relatively long time, including the five vampires that were captured earlier. There are also bear people, as well as Mo Xiqi and the headhunter. Letting people tell the truth is one stage, sending them at will without disobeying is another stage, if you don't want them to become involuntary echo worms, this stage of temperament remodeling is also very important, to complete the whole series, you need to test and observe repeatedly, and it will take at least 1 year before and after. ”
"And what is this?"
"Template."
Luo Ling said 'um', he knew that the 'model' often means investment at any cost, just like the modern society countries research fighter jets, a F22 manufacturing cost more than 4,000 US dollars, but the development cost is more than 50 times that of it, with Luo Ling's current economic productivity, it is impossible to let the body and vampires all take the high-speed modulation road of the 'template'.
"How's the resource? Magic materials, research materials, transformation materials, how long can they last? ”
"The White Bone Abyss has been established, and the shortage of materials has been alleviated to a certain extent, but the gap is still huge, and the transformation of the derivative body can only be carried out to the fifth order. In addition, there are many materials that cannot be obtained from the Abyss of Bones. ”
"It seems that we need a hunting ground and a basic economic system to support development more than a fierce territory."
Mogguge didn't squeak, and said in his heart: "This strong man is finally willing to admit that he can't conquer the whole world with the power of one person. What's the use of having an army and a castle? Without strong economic support and a benign mechanism, a strong fighting force will not be able to withstand attrition. Fight for two months and rest for five years. It can only be a small force like bandits and bandits. ”
For Luo Ling, the expansion of power is really a big topic, just talking about it, it doesn't take ten or eight hours, and he can't even think about it, and he is about to go to the Northern Regions, so this topic is naturally postponed for further discussion. "Some time ago, what is the research progress of those seeds handed over to you?"
"There is only one type of progress that has been made, and it was yesterday that we were fully aware of its characteristics."
The master and servant came to the seed research room again. In the 30×50-meter-long laboratory, various plants are cultivated in the form of shelves. Different from the Luo family's flower room, the plants here are cultivated for only two purposes, research and warfare. The old lich needed some poisonous juice, poisonous weeds or something, and Luo Ling, he complained early on that he could only play with vines, which was too monotonous for him who had mastered the Fifth Thorn Prison Seal. However, to gain powerful and useful plant abilities, you can either become a plane adventurer and hunt around, or try your luck at a magical bazaar like Seal City, where any bird can be seen. Luo Ling couldn't get out, and this matter could only be delayed again and again. Therefore, in this research room, there are very few plant seeds belonging to Luo Ling. Luo Ling has seen an alienated willow tree, the leaves grow very fast, and they are as sharp as a blade, and the strong wind blows, it really feels like a knife in the world, Luo Ling asked the old lich if this is to be used as a secret weapon, or what kind of trap to place, but the old lich explained that these steel-like hard and sharp leaves are delicious ingredients needed by the creatures of another world connected by the abyss of white bones, and as soon as the conditions are ripe, he is ready to plant them on a large scale, Affection is also a crop for exporting to earn foreign exchange.
When he came to the seed research room, Luo Ling first looked at his precious light vine, but continued to be disappointed, although there were signs of rooting, but he didn't expect equipment this time. Fortunately, the Mogguge that had successfully researched and cultivated the Moqin gave him some comfort, although it was of average grade, but it also gave Luo Ling a new ability to use plants.
This magic is planted in a muddy pool mixed with blood and source liquid, and I don't know what material has been added. Like a small shrub, more than 1 meter above the surface of the pool, the stem is slender and scaly, the top is huge, not an umbrella-like top cover, but like a cauliflower head, and like the top of a honeycomb rocket launcher, round and porous. The holes are large enough to fit into a bunch of large apples. There is indeed a fruit in it, and Mogguge told Luo Ling that this fruit is a sharp weapon for attack.
"Explosions? I do know that some plants burst open when they are ripe, causing the seeds to fall apart. But the power is a little weaker! ”
"Master, you can't look at it like that, the strength is relative, the object that the ant lifts is small, but it can be 30 times the weight of its own body at most, the bud is very small, but it can crack the stone when it grows. During the growth of this kind of magic power, the accumulated magic energy is brewed in the fruit, and a magic aid liquid is produced, which can make the magic energy full of power, and even have the effect of making the elements go berserk. It's just that because the plant grade is not high, this characteristic is not very prominent. However, the plants of this family are used as weapons, and the prospects are still very promising. ”
The elements were violent, and these words touched Luo Ling's thoughts very much. Elemental rage generally occurs in the case of extreme disorder of magical energy, which is extremely demanding on external conditions, and at the same time, the power it releases is also very terrifying, known as magical nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Elemental Rage often causes chain reactions, inflicting devastating blows on an area, and this high-intensity destructive power can easily cause space to collapse, and its power is no less powerful than any forbidden spell. Imagine throwing a plant bomb out of your hand has a certain chance of triggering the forbidden spell effect, what a terrifying kind of attack it is.
"Well, it's interesting, and it's worth mastering." Luo Ling smiled. Because of the lack of skills, and he is too active, the powerful skills of the character of 'Luo Ling' in the eyes of everyone are becoming fewer and fewer. The use of ice and vines is likely to expose the identity of the Three Stacks Cave, after all, it is impossible for the Lich Zhang Min to go back without telling how he was stinked in the water abyss. The power of bones, the skill of a fierce skeleton, cannot be used, it is the characteristic ability of another fake identity. Not to mention the pale flame, it's too late to hold it tightly, how dare you show it off everywhere. The rest, with a sniper rifle? It's too thin, almost everyone suspects that 'Luo Ling' is a demon, and Qin Qing and they still have Gongyerao's true eyes, although Gongyerao has been accidentally dealt with, but Luo Ling doesn't think that Qin Qing and them can be fooled with the identity of ordinary people, but that will put Gongyerao into it and expose it early.
Luo Ling had already instructed Gong Yerao that if they met in the Northern Regions, Qin Qing asked her to secretly use the True Eye, and she replied that what she saw was a demon descendant. Recently, I was worried about what 'real kung fu' this demon should show, and the plant bomb came into view. The power is poor, you can make up for it with skills and magic energy, and you should be able to get through the tricks.
In fact, after doing experiments, Luo Ling found that this kind of thing he called a 'spore bomb' was not bad at all, and the Blazing Flame Explosion of a second-order high-level magician had this power. What's more, he can also increase his power through 'energy injection', the most rare thing is that he takes shape quickly, as he wants, just like carrying countless plastic bombs, if he wants, he can go all the way, blow up all the way, timing, decoy and bombing, and there are many tricks.
"Boom, boom!" Luo Ling found an open space, practiced his skills, and had a lot of fun. "Hey, hey! It turns out that my 'Luo Ling' is a bomb expert, a crow-like character in "Youyou Bai". It's also a little interesting......" Luo Ling smiled softly.
