It's too late, it's too soon!

At the moment when Chu Cheng noticed the movement of the corpse, a piercing scream suddenly sounded! I saw a vague afterimage burst out from the cranial cavity of the corpse, hitting Chu Cheng's back heart!

This afterimage is extremely fast, and if ordinary people are caught off guard, they will definitely catch the way. But Chu Cheng's reaction was unexpectedly agile, and when he saw him pick up the dog-legged knife in his hand, he immediately put the blade between himself and the afterimage.

"Bang!" The tooth-aching sound of gold and iron crashed into the air, and the afterimage was narrowly shattered by the blade, falling to the ground with teeth and claws. At the same time, Chu Cheng finally saw the appearance of this thing clearly.

It was a spider-shaped monster, about the size of an adult's fist. Its main body is a wriggling mass of flesh. But inside the mass of flesh and blood, eight blade-like metal arthropod legs stretched out, and at the base of the legs were something as small as a pipeline.

A chill hits my back! Chu Cheng couldn't even tell whether the monster that attacked him was a flesh creature, a machine, or a ...... Both!?

At that moment, the monster suddenly let out a baby-like cry. Chu Cheng saw the monster's "abdomen", and suddenly opened a "crack" across the entire body, this "crack" continued to open to both sides under the movement of muscles, revealing the dense sharp teeth inside, so sharp that it could flash people's eyes!

At the same time, the monster's eight metal arthropod long legs also flicked spasmodically, and directly turned over on the spot, and pounced on Chu Cheng again.

A sense of danger hits my heart! In an instant, it was as if a pair of invisible big hands pushed Chu Cheng hard from behind! Driven by this fighting instinct, Chu Cheng's body swooped forward like a cheetah, and the arm holding the knife stabbed fiercely towards the trajectory of the monster's fluttering.

"Tear up!" The touch of the blade penetrating the flesh and blood, with a strange pleasure, surged into Chu Cheng's heart. The monster in mid-air was directly stabbed by Chu Cheng, and then was nailed to the ground, struggled a few times, and gradually lost its vitality.

Chu Cheng pulled out the knife casually and shook off the pus and blood on the knife's body. Only then did he suddenly react to a fierce spirit, looking at his hand holding the knife in disbelief.

"That fighting instinct just now...... Chu Cheng's pupils shrank, the feeling just now was too strange, as if there was a pair of invisible hands pushing him to kill.

"Am I unlocking the genetic lock?" Thinking of the plot of a novel in an ancient book, Chu Cheng couldn't help but complain. What he could be sure of was that something in his body was gradually awakening.

At this moment, Chu Cheng suddenly saw that inside the monster's corpse, something flickered slightly. With a move in his heart, he directly dug into the monster's body with a knife, and soon dug out a crystal with a shimmering light.

The crystals are roughly diamond-shaped, about half the size of a person's fingernail. Chu admits that the "share" that the village had previously handed over to the imperial army was this crystal.

"What is this?" Chu Chengzhi asked Mo Yin Dao.

"I'm not so sure because of the severe database corruption. However, looking at the appearance of this thing, it should be a low-level magic crystal nucleus. The sound of the three nothings suddenly sounded in Chu Cheng's heart, "The magic crystal nucleus is the energy center of the automaton, and a small amount of magic power is generally stored in it. However, seeing that this crystal nucleus is so mottled and turbid, there should not be much magic in it. ”

Mo Yin said, letting Chu Cheng hold the crystal nucleus in his hand, and suddenly a thin gossamer magic power flowed out of the crystal nucleus, along Chu Cheng's arm, and submerged into Chu Cheng's body.

At the same time, the flickering glimmer on the crystal nucleus gradually died out, leaving only darkness inside.

"That's about 0.05 units more than 0.05 units of mana, which is a drop in the bucket." Chu Cheng looked at the data on the retina and said helplessly.

"Suetone, if I can get enough mana, I should be able to activate more of the ring's functions." Chu Cheng hurried along the mark quickly, and at the same time communicated with the last sound in his heart.

"Theoretically, of course." "But at the moment, the Ring of the Nibelungen's Modules 1, 2, and 3 are all damaged, and the mana needed to repair them is a lot of money!" ”

"To fix Function Module One, it costs ten units of mana; Fix the second function module, which costs 500 units of mana; To activate Function Module 3, it costs 20,000 units of mana. ”

Chu Cheng was slightly speechless when he heard this. At present, he only has less than one unit of magic power in his body, and he has to use it sparingly. If you want to make up ten units of magic, I really don't know how long it will be.

"Motone, if I can successfully repair the ring's function module one, what new ability will it unlock?" After hesitating for a moment, Chu Cheng still asked at Mo Yin. Accumulating ten units of mana is no easy task, but it's not impossible.

"Activate Function Module 1, and the Ring of the Nibelungen will open up a "half-dimensional space" for you, which can not only store items, but also project them into reality and exert influence on reality." Suonin spoke slowly, his tone still cold, but his explanation was detailed.

"As for the second and third functional modules in the back, they are still too far away from you, so I won't introduce them one by one." "But I can tell you that the Ring of the Nibelungen has another ability to hide in addition to its own functional modules, and that is to sign contracts. ”

"In the future, if you encounter a witch or other being who can drive magical power, you can sign a contract with her through the ring, so that the other party can become your exclusive contract witch. At that time, you, as the master, will be able to share the abilities of the contract witches under your command, and choose to bestow or seize the magic according to their loyalty. ”

"Contract?" Chu Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

Who knew that at this moment, Chu Cheng suddenly felt a trace of killing intent from the inside of the corner of the Yongdao in front of him!

"Huh!" It was too late, and at the moment when Chu Cheng felt the danger, a cold horse suddenly lit up from the inside of the corner! The cold mangs picked up a knife flower, and stabbed Chu Cheng's throat with an extremely sharp attitude.

The sudden and fierce attack caused Chu Cheng's pupils to shrink suddenly. The oppression between life and death made his mind spin rapidly.

At the moment when the attack was imminent, Chu Cheng suddenly swung out a palm like lightning, and the target was not the sharp blade stabbed in front of him, but the wall on his side!

"Bang!" Chu Cheng's palm struck the wall firmly. At the same time, with the help of the force of recoil, the whole person forcibly moved an inch sideways, and narrowly avoided this blow!

At the same time, Chu Cheng's other arm also burst out like thunder, clasping towards the wrist that was holding the sharp blade that stretched out behind the corner.

Caught off guard, the wrist was suddenly grabbed by Chu Cheng, but the touch from his hand made Chu Cheng's heart skip a beat. The wrist he held was very slender, and his hand was even smoother and delicate, like a woman.
