After that, the development of things was indeed exactly the same as Gu Xuan had expected, in the case of the night attack of the Kraken Clan and the heavy losses of the crew, the manpower below was tight, and the upper authorities would only hand over more onerous tasks to him, especially the dirty and tiring work of cleaning the bilge where the slaves were staying, and the hard work that everyone avoided was pushed to Gu Xuan, so that even if those slaves who were occasionally over-minded wanted to report in exchange for freedom, there was nowhere to go.

And Gu Xuan also got more time to be alone with Adam and the others.

"Adam, did you put something into my body at that time?"

In the huge bilge, there were many cages filled with yellow-faced and thin-skinned, godless Terran slaves, and the bilge had been cleaned, and Gu Xuan, who had some short rest, seized the opportunity to sit in front of Adam's cage and asked bluntly in Eastern Continental.

Although Adam is still visibly weak at this time, because the shackles on his body are now simply worn, pretending to be, in fact, they are not completely buckled, plus with Gu Xuan's help, he now has three meals a day without worry, although he is still in the bilge and does not see the light of day, but the situation is much better.

"Yes, that's where our strength comes from. Adam leaned his back against the wall cage, facing Gu Xuan, and said eloquently without hesitation, "We earth people habitually call it the gift of Mother Earth, and the spirit people call it the generosity of the god of nature, but I think, no matter how you describe it, this is actually the same thing, something that is not available in your Western Continent. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "I call it 'Aether', although it can't be seen or touched, but it really exists in various places except the Western Continent, and because of the different environment, it also has completely different characteristics, so that the Aether with different characteristics can only be used by specific races, for example, on the sea, the magic of our Earth race is invalid, and on land, the magic of these alien races in the sea will be greatly reduced. ”

When Gu Xuan heard these divine things, which had never appeared in his perception of the world in the past nineteen years, Rao was the existence of his mind, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, and repeated in surprise: "Aether?"

Adam nodded lightly with a smile on his face, and then explained a little shyly: "This is all my thinking and naming of it, but in fact, whether this is correct or not, in fact, even I don't know, but my friend, Po, I am willing to share everything I know about it with you." ”

I have to say that it is definitely a very lucky thing for Gu Xuan to be able to meet Adam in this kind of place, because in the entire Canghai Realm, there are very few people who will spend time thinking and studying these things, they just use their talents as a matter of course, and those who are willing to share their research are even more of the few, as for those who are willing to share selflessly with an outsider, in the entire Canghai Realm, he may be the only one.

Gu Xuan naturally didn't want to waste this precious opportunity to acquire knowledge, so he hurriedly said: "As far as I know, in our Western Continent, there is a rule called Ten Thousand Laws Forbidden, as if there is a huge cover, which detains the entire Western Continent from above, so once any race arrives in our Western Continent, the individual will not be much stronger than our human race, and even 。。。。。。 ”

Gu Xuan hesitated a little at this time, but in the end, he still looked at Adam and said in a deep voice: "Even I know that there was a dragon clan that was slaughtered in the Western Continent. ”

Adam was not the slightest surprised by this, but nodded, and said very agreeably: "Indeed, I once had a period of exile in the Western Continent, and I also had some research on this, this rule for no reason, in fact, it is more powerful, and it can even be called a miracle magic, maybe it is the handiwork of God, or maybe in the history of the human race, there have been one or many extremely powerful people, and they jointly created this rule, in other words。。。。。。 ”

Before he finished speaking, Gu Xuan couldn't help but say excitedly: "In other words, our human race may not be born with inability to use it, well, 'ether', right?"

Adam nodded again and helped Gu Xuan analyze: " Yes, but all this is just speculation, because for us, the use of the ether is a unique talent, a memory rooted in the bloodline, so in fact, we don't have much to teach you Terran, and every race of people is actually not willing to share the secrets related to the roots of a race with outsiders, so even if the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce has been used as a medium to build a bridge between the Eastern and Western Continents, and even with the bilateral slave trade, every year there will be earthlings and spirits who are sold to the Western Continent, but as far as I know, I still haven't heard of any Terran successfully mastering the method of using the ether, and you can't even feel it. ”

Seeing Gu Xuan's hard work to learn, Adam guessed that the other party should have successfully felt the existence of the ether, but no one individual can represent the whole thing, not to mention that even if Gu Xuan felt it, it should be related to himself, and other races did not have this kind of good luck.

Gu Xuan was silent when he heard this, because he knew that even though Adam was a hybrid of the human race and the earth race, Adam never called himself a human race, but always called himself "our earth race", that is to say, Adam preferred to be an earth racer, so for each other, the other party was an "outsider" in the actual sense , no matter how broad-minded Adam is, no matter how much he trusts him as a friend, is he really willing to share these secrets selflessly with himself, after all, Gu Xuan knows that for Adam, the most important thing should be his people, how can he not think about his own people?

Unexpectedly, Adam saw the concerns in Gu Xuan's heart, and immediately took the initiative to say: "My friend, please rest assured, I am willing to tell you everything I know, everything about the ether, just now I was just analyzing why the human race has not been able to feel the existence of the ether, but since you already know its existence, you are qualified to understand, in my opinion, the ether should belong to every living being in the sea realm, it is indeed the gift of all great beings to us." ”

Adam's performance once again surprised Gu Xuan, after all, any race suddenly becoming strong is a disaster common to all other foreign races, and resources are limited, Adam has no need to help him a human race to master this special power.

Gu Xuan pursed his lips, and then said directly: "Adam, since you have said so, then I will no longer hide it, indeed, since you instilled the ether into my body at that time, I feel that the world around me has become completely different, it should be said that until now, I feel that this is still a completely different world from the past, an indescribable feeling, but in short, it has become clearer and more beautiful." ”

"When I walked to the deck, I suddenly felt a special power fill my body, I didn't know how to use it, I just felt that I seemed to be getting stronger, so I used my fists and feet to vent, and then I only used one punch, and I managed to knock a Kraken warrior who was stronger than me before, but it didn't take long for that special power, well, it should be the presence of the ether and suddenly disappeared, I felt very tired, very tired, the kind of tiredness that I could barely stand up。。。。。。 ”

Hearing this, Adam frowned slightly, and while thinking, he interjected: " As far as I know, the ether with different attributes will indeed exclude and assimilate each other, so the magic of our earth race cannot be used in a place like the sea at all, because the earth and the sea are opposites, and the ether certainly has a certain strengthening effect on the body, but not much, it is essentially just a component of magic, if on the earth, I wave my hand, I can create a whole wall of earth, which is done by using the ether in my body to resonate with the ether around me, but here, there is no ether with the same attributes as the ether in my body, so I can't complete it。 ”

"I can't use the aether to heal my wounds, and I can't go without food, because the aether is neither a substitute for food nor medicine, it's just a special power. ”

"So. Adam raised his head and looked at Gu Xuan, a scorching light appeared in his eyes, as if he had seen something very novel, and then asked, "The aether I poured into your body was just to expel the aether carried by the Kraken, and the injuries in your body still exist, right?"

When Gu Xuan heard this, he pulled open the clothes on his chest, and saw that on his naked chest, there were indeed eight scars that had just scabbed, which were scratched by the kraken's claws, after the kraken's poison was removed, relying on his own strong physique, this injury healed quickly, of course, the scars were inevitably left.

"Sure enough, my aether can only expel the kind of aether that the Kraken clan carries, which can make people crazy, but the scars from the claws are still there. Adam said, suddenly changed the conversation, and said, " However, after doing these things, the aether that I poured into your body should not be left behind, but will be naturally expelled by your body, after all, you are not an earth, but instead of, on the contrary, you have successfully used it, and not through the most common method of resonating with the aether of the surrounding world, but I am still not sure at this moment, whether it was really used to strengthen your body, or if you simply beat it out in a brutal way, out of the principle of repulsion, so you easily sent the Kraken Clan, in a way, in fact, the way you use the Aether may be more similar to the Kraken。 ”

The word ether comes from the etheric body in India, and I think it is the same thing as the Qi spoken of by cultivators, the true qi spoken of by Wufu, the aura spoken of in Xiuxian, and the energy spoken of in the West, which is actually the same thing, that is, the origin of all things, and specific things, which will be talked about in the next book.
