Chapter Eighty-Nine: Erosion
Mountain ghosts, that is, mountain kings.
At this time, it looked down on the two ghost creatures below, as a life of the earth, the mountains and forests within a radius of several miles were part of its body, and nothing that happened above could escape its perception.
When he heard about the humanoid ghost, he manifested himself and came to inquire.
"Big mountain, bring them here."
At this moment, a thought came out in the distance.
Knowing that this was the idea of the humanoid ghost senior, the mountain king immediately commanded the giant beast that looked like a tiger and a lion, "Worms, bring them to the adult." ”
"Yes!"
The insects bowed their heads and obeyed.
Immediately, the toad oil fire and the water slug, I saw that in the surging of the earth, the half of the body extending from the soil slowly melted, and the ground returned to its original state.
……
In the open space of the mountains and forests, which are full of rocks.
Wow!
A half-cut body with a bare face stretched out of the dirt, and the mountain monarch lowered his head and said with a respectful attitude to a figure sitting on an abrupt boulder, "My lord, they are coming." ”
"Hmm."
Zhou Wuwu bowed slightly.
Immediately, a huge beast sprang out of the mountain forest, followed by a purple toad creature and a mollusk-like creature like a slug.
"Senior, Lord Shanjun."
There was a hint of respect in the thoughts conveyed by the ghosts.
Its massive body turned into a puddle of shadows, slowly converging beneath the half-clay body, prostrate and coiled, staring at the two goblins in the clearing with two eyes that burned like ghostly fire.
"Is the extraordinary nature of this soft body life extraction capable of reshaping and changing the water-like nature?"
Zhou Wuwu's eyes flashed.
He analyzed the relevant characteristics of the water slug creature in an instant, and then he saw that the purple creature like a big toad bowed down in a five-body posture, and said feverishly: "Youhuo has seen his predecessors!" ”
"Water...... Meet the sluech...... Meet the seniors......"
The slugg's intermittent thoughts were filled with deep fear.
In its spiritual perception, the energy here reacted to the breath, violently like a volcanic crater about to erupt, and there was an incomparable terrifying energy surging inside.
Among them, the humanoid figure sitting on a boulder.
In the sluggard's mind, it was like a brilliant scorching sun hanging high, emitting endless light and heat, and deeper inside the scorching sun, there seemed to be a super highly condensed energy lurking, giving it a terrifying sense of suffocation and oppression.
"This little guy seems to have extraordinary perceptual abilities."
Zhou Wuwu smiled slightly.
Although the transcendent creatures in this world know how to use spiritual power, most of them use it instinctively, which gives him a very rough feeling.
Under such violent mood swings of the water slug, in his eyes, the other party's thoughts were basically at a glance.
"Senpai!"
The purple toad creature looked extremely fanatical, and swore in a pilgrimage tone: "Please allow the oil fire to follow the seniors and be an attendant!" ”
"Squire."
Zhou Wuwu exuded a hint of noncommittal.
The so-called acolyte, in fact, is the same as the meaning of the follower, and it is mainly a way for the creatures of the realm to obtain protection from powerful ghost beings in order to deal with danger.
And the giant beast that looked like a lion and a tiger was an attendant under the command of the Mountain Monarch.
"I don't need any followers, what was given to you at the beginning was just a casual one, if you just want to ask for shelter, you might as well send a request directly to the Mountain King."
Zhou Wuwu's expression was leisurely and quiet, but his thoughts were unquestionable.
"Senior ......"
Toad Oil Fire's face suddenly collapsed, and he looked extremely lost.
But it didn't dare to say that although its perception ability was not as strong as that of a water slug, it had also experienced the horror of this humanoid ghost predecessor.
And now, even one of the most powerful ghosts in this area, the mountain ghost, has to obey it.
"Can you only give up......
Deep down, Toad Oil Fire felt a sense of powerlessness.
Just as it was despondent, on the body that was half stretched out of the dirt not far away, a fluctuation of thought was transmitted from the bare face of the Mountain Monarch: "If you are seeking refuge, you can stay here, but you do not need to be an attendant. ”
"Mountain Oni-sama!"
The toad oil fire was immediately overjoyed and thanked.
At this time, my heart was full of hope, after all, as long as it could stay here and meet that humanoid ghost senior, there would always be opportunities for corresponding benefits.
……
A month later.
Airplanes!
Plumes of dark smoke floated over the mountains and forests, and countless worm-like insects inside waved their arthropods and swam in the smoke.
"Sora-sama, let me go, let me go!"
The slug struggled desperately at this time, sending out a series of sharp fluctuations of thought.
"Babble!"
There was a childlike joy in the empty mind, and at this time, the swarm-like body suddenly dispersed, and a jelly-like pale blue object suddenly fell from the smoke in mid-air.
Syllable!
After a crisp sound, a puddle of pale blue mud appeared on the ground of the mountain forest.
"It's so dangerous...... It's so dangerous......"
The pale blue sludge wriggled and changed shape, and gradually returned to a soft creature, and the slug was a little frightened, and the two tentacles on its forehead looked left and right, looking quite panicked.
……
"Is Sora playing tricks on these little guys again?"
At the edge of the mountain forest, a half-cut body extending from the dirt is standing quietly.
At this time, the mountain monarch sensed the fluctuations of thoughts emitted by the jelly-like creatures in the distance, and under the inquiry of the figure beside him, he replied, "Yes, my lord. ”
"Hmm."
Zhou Wuwu bowed his head.
At this time, on the ground of the mountains and forests in front of him, there was a clear dividing line, which was the junction of the earth's life body and the world.
With San'in Province as the center, the range of a radius of about a few miles belongs to the body of the Mountain King.
"This phenomenon...... Has it lost the properties of homogeneous infection? ”
There was contemplation in Zhou Wuwu's eyes.
He had high expectations for this earthly life made of earth and rock, and in a sense, this could already be regarded as the local self-will of the world.
"It's a pity that the body can only achieve a general degree of control, and cannot form refined management."
Zhou Wuwu shook his head.
In his view, a body that cannot be fully and finely managed is no different from paper paste, full of loopholes and uncontrollable factors, and lacks a defense mechanism to deal with crises.
Originally, he was pinning his hopes on the homogeneous infection of the other party.
Through the continuous erosion of the world by the nature of the origin, the effect of seizing the world is finally achieved, and although it will completely imprison itself, it is a kind of perfection for the life of the earth.
And...... For him, the harvest of energy is also more impressive.
"It's just that the ability to homogenize infection has been completely degraded, and no traces of existence can be found, and the current body has been essentially separated from the world."
Zhou Wuwu sighed.
He estimates that this may be a self-protection mechanism for living organisms.
If it is allowed to be devoured unlimitedly, this general degree of physical control will become weaker and weaker as the body grows, and eventually lead to the complete disappearance of self-will in the endless flow of information.
"The main thing is that the spiritual consciousness is too weak."
These words are what Zhou Wuwu dared to say after the change of system attributes.
After all, compared to ordinary life forms, the breadth of the spiritual consciousness of the earthly life is far beyond them, but for Zhou Wuwu, who has been blessed to an unimaginable degree, this breadth is completely insufficient.
"The first thing to be solved is the problem of mental power."
Zhou Wuwu's eyes were slightly condensed.
Whether it is to reactivate the essence of the earth's life, or to reshape the body and achieve refined management, it is inseparable from a higher degree of spiritual awareness.
Thinking about it at this time, Zhou Wuwu faintly imagined some experimental preparation tests in his heart.
