Chapter 216: Arcane Fire 1
Soul Eater?
Hearing Master Void's words, Stephen couldn't help frowning. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It's a lot harder to deal with than the Flesh Corruptor, and more importantly, the Soul Eater can transform into an Ancient Evil. Another most troublesome thing is the soul eater's ability to take away, his body is in the form of a spirit, as if it is a ghost that can parasitize on other people's bodies, and finally completely erode the other party's consciousness and body, and completely devour the other person's entire person and soul.
"Then the master should be careful. Stephen said solemnly.
Master Void nodded slightly, and said, "As long as the Soul Eater has not yet transformed, I should be able to handle it." I just don't know what happens on the other side of the mire of death. ”
This was first discovered by the witcher.
An old witcher was first tracking down an evil dark wizard who cruelly used pregnant women as sacrifices to refine dark potions. Because this dark wizard is only the level of a gray-robed wizard, the old witcher decided to track down and deal with the other party alone. But I didn't expect to find a little accident in the process of tracking, the dark wizard was killed by a mysterious person. And the way the dark wizard died was very strange, the whole person was almost sucked into a dry corpse, but the things on his body were basically untouched. At first, the old witcher thought that other dark wizards were killing each other, but then he found some other people who had been killed in this way.
There are wizards, there are adventurers, and there are ordinary civilians.
The most surprising thing is that the finances of these people are basically untouched, as if the killers don't care about them at all.
This is not normal!
Even a dark wizard will plunder after killing another wizard.
In the end, the old witcher tracked down a terrifying existence, and the two sides just took a face, and the old witcher was seriously injured, and he didn't even see the other party's face clearly. If it weren't for the fact that he had a life-saving strange object (special magic item), I am afraid that he would have been killed by that person on the spot.
After the old witcher fled, the only thing he recognized was that one of the other party's hands was silvery.
It looks as if it is pure metal.
However, the opponent's metal arm is quite flexible, and it can turn into an active form of metal to attack.
"Silver-white arms?" Stephen frowned as if he had thought of something.
Silver-white arms?
Why does it feel familiar?
The two sides separated after leaving the confines of the Fifth Ring Tower, with the Void Master leading the men to the mire of death, while Stephen returned to the North through the portal.
Wizard's Tower.
With a flash of white light, Stephen's figure appeared on the astrological platform.
"Master!"
"You're back!"
"Master!"
"Hmm...... I miss you so much...... Gollum ......"
Two voices soon came, and Miss Tinax appeared in a long black dress, slightly twisting the corners of her skirt and saluting. And the monster lady next to her still looked clumsy, a little unusually twisted the corners of her skirt to salute, and what made Stephen feel even more speechless was that the other party actually had a large piece of barbecue stuffed in his mouth.
"Eat, eat, eat...... I know how to eat ...... every day," Stephen looked up and tapped on the monster lady's head.
The monster lady was not angry when she was reprimanded, but smiled and said, "Because it's delicious!"
"Isn't life all about enjoying food?"
Stephen looked at her in surprise and said, "Huh, have you eaten the truth of life?"
"How's it going?"
Miss Tinax leaned over slightly and let Stephen rub his head, and said with a comfortable expression, "Everything is normal." However, there has been a special change in the gem crystal worms bred by the owner. ”
"Master, I want it too!" the monster lady chewed her cheeks and swallowed the barbecue, then leaned her head over and shouted.
Stephen tapped her on the head, then rubbed it, "What's going on?"
"What happened to the Jewel Worm?"
These little things are his future gem resources, and if something unexpected happens, it will be a headache.
"They began to multiply in large numbers last month, almost doubling in number, but then we realized that something was wrong, they actually started killing each other after a certain period of growth......," Miss Tinax explained.
Cannibalism?
Stephen suddenly frowned and said, "Take me to see!"
Soon.
The group went underground.
Stephen had almost hollowed out a separate area underneath the tower, reinforced with special rocks around it, and the Gem Crystals were inside the underground farm.
"Huh?"
"Why are there so many mature gem worms?" Stephen's eyes widened as he glanced at them.
It shouldn't be!
According to the maturity period of the gem crystal worm, it is impossible for the underground farm to have a mature gem crystal worm, at most there are some worms in the growth stage.
"That's the problem. ”
"They actually killed each other and ...... Eat the same kind...... To prevent them from killing each other too much...... We've also separated a batch of bugs specifically......" Miss Tinax whispered.
Cannibalism? And eat the same kind?
Variation?
Or is it because there are no natural predators?
Stephen walked into the protective cover, and with a slight wave of his hand, a gem crystal worm with a grinding disc was caught by him in the air, the gem crystal worm struggled desperately, but it couldn't break free from Stephen's alchemy hand at all, he glanced at the gem on his back, and said with a pleasant expression: "Very pure gem." ”
"Huh?"
"Why are they all colorful gemstones?"
Stephen soon discovered the problem, almost all the fast-maturing gem crystals gave birth to colorful gems, and the gems on the backs of those with relatively large physique gems were also of different colors, and it was almost impossible to see a single color gem.
"Devoured?"
Stephen suddenly frowned and sniffed, muttering, "The aura of the monster has become stronger!"
In addition to a large number of reproducing and killing each other, the monster aura on their bodies has also become much stronger, and Stephen speculates that they must have mutated.
"A part of the larvae are cultivated separately. ”
In order to prevent the population of the Gem Crystals from being greatly reduced due to cannibalism, Stephen ordered a separate larval area, and then he killed the other Gem Crystals, leaving only a mature mother, which was used as a reserved swarm mother, and Stephen left a secret imprint on it, trying to monitor the changes of the Gem Crystals.
"Taling 1!"
"Reserve some computing power and record the changes of these bugs in the future!"
No matter what.
For now, the mutation of the Jewel Worm is a good thing, because of the mutual devouring, their maturity has accelerated. However, the disadvantage is that it is difficult to grow in the number of the population, and once it enters the growth stage, the gem crystals begin to kill each other.
