Chapter 114: Parasitism

After knowing that Moon Shadow was actually a phoenix, many of Tianyou's questions were answered.

It's no wonder that the cave where Moon Shadow was found in the first place will be covered with ashes, or that the walls of the cave will show traces of molten rock recondensing, or that Moon Shadow can threaten the Assassins of the Dust Realm when she is born, or that Moon Shadow will set the house on fire, or that Moon Shadow needs so much aura to advance, and that Strange ......

All these questions have been answered after knowing that Moon Shadow is a phoenix. Because she's a phoenix! a fiery phoenix reborn from the ashes.

Of course, it was indeed very happy to get a phoenix as a demon pet, but Tianyou soon began to worry about it again.

Bai Qi had reminded him before that the existence of Moon Shadow must be kept strictly secret, and he couldn't let others know that he had such a powerful demon pet, and now that he actually found out that Moon Shadow was a phoenix, it would be even more impossible for people to know. However, the previous Moon Shadow was only the size of a thumb and was hidden in Tianyou's hair, but now she has grown to more than a foot tall, a circle larger than a newborn baby. With such a big figure, you can't hide it on your body.

The mocking wind is just a winged bird, usually in a cage, and the outside can be covered with a black cloth to complete the camouflage, and it doesn't matter if someone really wants to see it. But Moon Shadow can't do it, she definitely can't be put in the cage, otherwise someone will ask what is inside, whether Tianyou will let people see it or not?

"How can you hide your figure?" Looking at the moon shadow that was looking at him curiously, Tianyou thought with some worry.

I was worried here, but I didn't expect Moon Shadow to suddenly speak. "The hosts. ”

After advancing, for some reason, Moon Shadow began to call Tianyou the master, and even if she corrected it many times, she didn't change it, she still called it that. However, the advanced Moon Shadow can at least speak. Although I still can't speak fluently like a normal person, some short sentences and phrases can be said very clearly, and I don't seem to be as ignorant as before when communicating.

Although Moon Shadow could understand Tianyou's orders before, she felt like a two- or three-year-old child who could do what Tianyou said, but she couldn't fully understand Tianyou's meaning, at least she couldn't have too deep an exchange of thoughts.

Although Moon Shadow still can't speak clearly, she seems to be able to understand some complex information and emotions, at least to the point.

"Well, what?" Hearing Moon Shadow call out to herself, Tianyou immediately looked over.

Moon Shadow didn't respond immediately, as if thinking, and paused for a moment before starting to speak. "The host...... Don't want the Moon Shadow to be seen?"

"Hmm. Tianyou looked at Moon Shadow with a little surprise, happy for her growth. "You've grown a lot now, and it's hard to hide like you used to. ”

"Why?...... Want to hide?"

"Because you're strong. ”

"Moon Shadow...... Powerful?" Moon Shadow tilted her little head and looked at Tianyou, she obviously couldn't quite understand why she was considered powerful by Tianyou. Tianyou was also quite strange about this, he didn't understand how Moon Shadow's perception of whether it was strong or not came about. Supposedly, she didn't have a specific idea of that.

Anyway, Tianyou still explained: "You are still very weak now, but that's because you haven't grown up yet, and when you grow up, you will become a very strong existence." There are also some people out there who want to have a monster like you for them to drive. But there aren't many powerful monsters like you, so they'll snatch you from me. ”

"Don't be snatched away. Moon Shadow didn't want to leave her master. Moon Shadow said with a worried look on her face.

"yes, I don't want to, so I've been afraid to let anyone know about your existence. That's what I used to hide in my hair for, but you're ...... size now."

Moon Shadow didn't speak again, but fell into thought, and just when Tianyou thought she wouldn't say anything more, Moon Shadow suddenly raised her head and said with a serious face, "Moon Shadow can be parasitic. ”

"Parasitism?"

Because the speech was still not smooth, it took a lot of effort for God to understand what parasitism was. This parasite should be said to be a special ability of the demon, somewhat similar to the possession ability of the revenant.

The parasitic monster body will be completely hidden in the body of the parasitic, and as long as the monster remains dormant, even if some special means are used, it is impossible to completely distinguish whether there is a monster in a person's body, and it can be said that the concealment tends to be close to a full score.

Of course, this ability can't be as simple as just hiding from you.

The parasitism of monsters is essentially an invasion, forcibly invading a person's body and soul. In this process, the monster occupies the absolute initiative, it can manipulate or influence people's thoughts, partially control, or even completely replace people's own thoughts to control his body, and can also absorb aura, essence and even flesh and blood from this person's body to support themselves. This is very parasitic about the original meaning of the word.

Of course, these are things that monsters can do, but it is entirely up to the monsters themselves to do it or not. That is to say, after parasitism, the monster can suck a person dry, or not, and it can even replenish the parasitic person, injecting aura into the person's body to make it stronger and stronger.

In fact, even if a monster wants to suck a person dry, it's not so easy, otherwise wouldn't the demon clan have already replaced humans?

The process of parasitism itself is very difficult, and if a monster wants to parasitize a person, most of them choose to take advantage of the void, such as taking advantage of the situation of deep sleep, disease, drunkenness, etc., the key is that the person's consciousness must be in an unawake state, otherwise once the parasitic person resists, the success rate of parasitism will drop significantly, not to mention, it may also lead to serious damage to the monster itself.

Of course, the specific success or failure mainly depends on the gap between the strength and willpower of the parasite and the monster. For example, ordinary people with weak wills can easily be parasitized, on the contrary, if the level of the monster is too low, it will be difficult to succeed in the face of those high-level cultivators.

Despite the many problems and dangers of this parasite, Tianyou finds that this ability seems to be a good fit for himself and Moon Shadow.

The failure of parasitism is caused by the resistance of the parasited, so if God blesses himself voluntarily, the success rate is almost 100%. In addition, the parasitic person will worry about being sucked dry, but God You is not worried about this. Moon Shadow's intimacy with him was not pretended, and he would leave tears because of anxiety and sadness after he was injured by Xu Da before, which led to the explosion of Tianyou, which is the best evidence. Later, when I advanced, the Moon Shadow consciousness that had just woken up was still awake and wanted to pounce, which was also the most direct proof, of course, this proved that it was quite painful.

In any case, Moon Shadow's feelings for Tianyou are very real, and it is impossible for her to use parasitism to infringe on Tianyou. Taking a step back, even if Moon Shadow wanted to infringe on Tianyou, wouldn't she be able to defeat Tianyou without parasitism? In Qingyuan Mountain before, that assassin was almost killed by a single move. This attack power, if she really wants to do something to Tianyou, it really makes no difference whether she is parasitic or not.

After thoroughly figuring out the pros and cons of parasitism, Tianyou decisively chose parasitism, because the disadvantages of parasitism are not valid for him, but the benefits are all taken by him, so there is no reason not to complete parasitism at all.

Moon Shadow, who received an affirmative answer, immediately began to parasitize Tianyou, and as Moon Shadow began to use his abilities, Tianyou could obviously feel that there were very strong spiritual power fluctuations on Moon Shadow's body, but this fluctuation was not gradually increasing, but getting weaker and weaker. As the fluctuation continued to weaken, the moon shadow was turning into a cloud of black smoke at a speed visible to the naked eye, drifting towards the mouth of Tianyou's heart.

This is the parasitic position they said before. Because the monster will leave a tattoo-like mark on the body of the parasitic person after parasitism, Tianyou designated a location for Moon Shadow. The advantage of putting it in his heart is that it is more pleasing to the eye, although he himself does not really have the opportunity to see it.

The moon shadow that turned into smoke gradually drifted towards Tianyou's heart, and then infiltrated Tianyou's body little by little. Tianyou could clearly feel that there was a feeling of discomfort in the position of his heart, but because Moon Shadow had said hello, he couldn't help it.

This is one of the reasons why parasitism can easily fail. Parasitic human monsters need to turn themselves into a cloud of smoke before they can start parasitizing, and if they are not voluntary, monsters can usually only sneak around a long distance to complete the atomization, and then get closer to the target and then infiltrate it. But because the monster itself is very fragile in the atomized state, this process undoubtedly increases the danger of the monster parasitic humans. Sometimes, when it is converted into a mist, it can be seriously injured by a gust of wind or an unconscious wave of the parasite's hand. This risk cannot be said to be insignificant.

Moon Shadow doesn't have so many worries here. She almost started atomizing against Tianyou, and Tianyou also took the initiative to stay still to facilitate her infiltration, which greatly increased the success rate.

Of course, the more dangerous step is the spiritual implantation that follows.

Parasitism is not enough to hide the body of the monster in the target's body, but also to complete the link on the soul, which is also the reason why the monster can influence and manipulate people's will after parasitism. However, people are almost god-like beings in their own souls, and if they can't take advantage of the other party's unclear thinking, the soul strength of a normal person is enough to block the soul invasion of any monster below the big demon.

Of course, Tianyou's side will not resist the Moon Shadow, so not only is this step not dangerous, but it is also very fast. Other monsters sneaked into people's spiritual platforms, or simply entered them, but Moon Shadow was led in, can this be the same?

With the active cooperation of Tianyou, the whole process was completed quickly. Except for some discomfort in the chest position at the beginning, there was no abnormality in the near future. After the parasitism was completed, a black tattoo-like thing appeared on Tianyou's chest, which looked like a big bird with wings ready to fly, but it was a stick figure, and there were only a few lines in total, so it looked pretty beautiful.

Patting his chest with satisfaction, Tianyou asked aloud, "Moon Shadow, how are you feeling now?"

"Nice, host. Moon Shadow replied clearly, but Tianyou was stunned, because it was not a voice heard in his ears, but directly in his head.

Sure enough, as soon as Tianyou noticed this question, Moon Shadow immediately replied, "Because the master has been parasitized by me, our souls are connected, and I know what the master wants." Speaking of this, Tianyou didn't open his mouth yet, and Moon Shadow really quickly said in his mind: "Yes, it's also because of this that I speak fluently. We are now sharing our thoughts directly with our souls, and we don't need words as a medium, so Moon Shadow can immediately understand what the master wants, and it feels like Moon Shadow is very good at talking. ”

"Damn, what ...... in my head"

Tianyou was thinking about it, and immediately remembered the voice of Moon Shadow in his head. "Hey, master, what are you thinking about? Why don't those people put on their clothes and hug each other and move around?"

At that moment, Tianyou finally discovered the disadvantage of parasitism, that is, privacy could not be preserved.

Just now, he suddenly thought that if the soul was directly connected, wouldn't it be that he could know immediately if he thought of what Moon Shadow would know? Then Tianyou was thinking that those island romance movies he watched in his previous life wouldn't be seen by Moon Shadow, right?

As a result, it was okay if he didn't want to, those were memories of the past, hidden deep in his mind, and Moon Shadow couldn't see it at all. But as soon as Tianyou recalled, the memory turned into consciousness swirling in her mind, so Moon Shadow saw those things that Tianyou didn't want her to see.

To put it simply, this soul connection is like two computers implanted with a special Trojan virus, each can see the programs and data running in each other's chips and memory, but cannot scan each other's hard drives, so the best way to keep it secret is not to run the things on those hard drives, as long as you don't read it, the other party can't see it, but as long as it runs here, you will know it.

It's a pity that people's thinking is not a computer, and the more you don't want to think about something, the more you will think, so you can't hide it when you think about it.

"Alright, okay, don't pay attention to that. You come out now. ”

God bless hurriedly interrupted.

Fortunately, Moon Shadow was still very obedient, and immediately separated from Tianyou. This separation process is not a parasitic reverse operation, but only a temporary separation. The tattoo on Tianyou's chest is still there, and it will be very convenient for Moon Shadow to go back, and it doesn't need to be as troublesome as the parasitic process.

After the separation began, the Moon Shadow floated out of Tianyou's body like an illusory shadow, and then quickly solidified into an entity. After separation, Moon Shadow can fight and cultivate as before, but if she is severely injured in the separated state, she will be forcibly sucked back into the imprint on Tianyou's chest. This is also a kind of self-protection.

After separating Moon Shadow, Tianyou chatted with Moon Shadow about parasitism again, and found out that parasitism actually has an unexpected benefit.

After parasitism, an aura channel can be formed between the monster and the parasited, and then let the aura bounce back and forth in the body of the twin hairs, the principle is similar to capacitance, and a large number of reiki can be sequelled. On the one hand, it can increase the total amount of aura in the body during battle, get a longer endurance, and on the other hand, it can also speed up the cultivation speed.

This unexpected surprise made Tianyou feel that choosing to let Moon Shadow parasitism really be the right choice, although the little movie in his head was discovered, this thing is quite embarrassing, but overall parasitism is a great thing.

After excitedly communicating with Moon Shadow all night, Tianyou got up early in the morning, deliberately dodging Bai Bingyu, who came to visit him for his injuries, and then quietly found the place where Bai Qi lived.

I was very surprised to see Tianyou's Bai Qi, because Tianyou is now an injured person, and he shouldn't be walking around. The burn area cannot be seen from the wind and water, otherwise it is easy to get infected and suppurated. Bai Qi, who was about to let Tianyou enter the house quickly, was suddenly stunned when he saw Tianyou's neck, because he saw the intact skin on Tianyou's neck.

"This ...... Your neck. ”

Tianyou didn't answer Bai Qi's question, but sneakily pulled Bai Qi like a thief and asked, "Is my aunt in the house?"

"Madame went back to her mother's house, and she was not at home for the past few days. What are you doing here?"

Tianyou didn't care about Bai Qi's doubts, and pulled him into the house. Quickly closing the door, Tianyou immediately took out the crystal bottle from last night.

"I've finally figured out the nature of Moon Shadow. ”

Tianyou suddenly came out with a clueless sentence, which made Bai Qi a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, and was stunned for a while before asking: "You have figured out what your demon pet has to do with this bottle, what are you doing with an empty bottle?"

The crystal bottle is transparent, and you can see if there is anything inside. Although there is still a tear of Moon Shadow underneath, the problem is that a drop of water is in the bottle, who would know that it is what the bottle is going to contain?

Tianyou also reacted that his speech was too jumpy, and quickly cleared his mind and seriously explained his discovery last night, including how to find that Moon Shadow's tears had a healing effect, and then speculated that Moon Shadow was a phoenix, and then used mice to do verification experiments.

Bai Qi listened to Tianyou's words, took the crystal bottle in Tianyou's hand with great dignity, and asked in disbelief: "Is this really a phoenix tear?"

"Not sure, but the rat is really resurrected. Unless there is some other kind of monster's tears that also have the effect of resurrecting the dead, this must be phoenix tears. ”

Bai Qi still can't believe it, mainly because if the thing in his hand is really a phoenix tear, the value is too amazing. When Tianyou came to Bai Qi before, he also went through an ideological struggle, and he was also worried that Bai Qi would meet his fortune intentions, but in the end he convinced himself to believe Bai Qi. It's not because of blind gratitude, but the conclusion reached after a comprehensive analysis of Bai Qi's character. A person's behavior can change in a thousand ways, but his personality is very difficult to change. Bai Qi is not that kind of person, so Tianyou dares to tell the truth.

"I remember that the legendary phoenixes are all gorgeous, covered with colorful and beautiful feathers, but your demon pet, the wings seem to be black?"

Bai Qi still found a suspicious point, and this is also Tianyou's question. However, when Tianyou thought of this question, Moon Shadow also knew his doubts, so he said in the depths of his soul, "Moon Shadow is a girl, so it is black. ”

"Huh?"

Moon Shadow thought that Tianyou didn't understand, so she added, "Moon Shadow doesn't know very well, only that Moon Shadow is black because she is a girl." I can't remember anything else. ”

About this God You had learned about it in last night's chat. Although it will be easier for Moon Shadow to communicate in her parasitic state, her mind has not actually changed because of parasitism, so she still can't understand many things when she expresses her problems, but because of the direct way of communication with her soul, there are many fewer verbal errors.

In addition, Moon Shadow seems to have inherited memories and other things, but these memories and knowledge seem to only be gradually unsealed as their strength increases, so Moon Shadow is now ignorant of many things about herself. For example, this one just now. She knew she was black because she was a girl, but she didn't know why.

Because it was difficult to explain, Tianyou didn't tell Bai Qi after getting the information from Moon Shadow, but Bai Qi finally believed that Moon Shadow was a phoenix, and this drop in the bottle was a phoenix tear.

"Well, you have a phoenix, I see. Then what are you doing now with Phoenix Tears coming to me?" Bai Qi finally thought of asking Tianyou for his intention, and Tianyou had waited for a long time for this.

"I'd like you to help see if I can sell this phoenix tear. ”

"You're going to make a move?"

Tianyou smiled bitterly and nodded: "High-level demon pets are easy to use and not easy to raise! Yesterday, I advanced to burn so many demon pills in one go, and if you don't urge me to ask for money, I can't keep dragging it! And your house, these have to be compensated! Moreover, since I know that Moon Shadow is a phoenix, I will definitely need a lot of resources to improve in the future, and the money will only become more and more insufficient, so I have to plan early." ”

Bai Qi pondered for a while and said, "Your idea is good, but it is impossible to find a suitable buyer for this thing in a short time. If you think you can, I can buy it, because I really need it, and because I can keep it as secret as possible. In the future, you should not shoot the phoenix tears again, you must know that you are guilty!" (To be continued.) )
