Volume 1 Lonely Arcane Road 020 The Secret of Bloody Konjac

For this mission, Yolanda has also revealed its background, faintly involved in the high-level of the thousand-year-old empire, if the problem of artificial cultivation of bloody konjac can be solved, maybe it can really get a big chance, but it is not something that can be replaced by discovering the secret of the grimace flower.

Charlie put the two choices behind him for the time being, returned to the cultivation room of the bloody konjac, and began to devote himself to research.

At this time, two days and one night have passed since Charlie left the cultivation room last time, and he used "life detection" on the bloody konjac and found that the vitality was reduced by two points, compared to the previous weakness trend, it can be said that his method has had an effect, which makes Charlie more motivated.

Yolanda said on the side: "The first small step is considered to be steady, and the results in front of me can already be used as a discovery, so that the teacher can help open up the relationship and publish it in the 'Today's Alchemy' of the Millennium Empire." ”

"What is 'Today's Alchemy'?"

Yolanda explained with a smile: "A newspaper that has only emerged in recent years, I heard that it was the brainchild of a princess of the empire, and she felt that we needed an open and shared environment, so she took the lead in her own name and published two newspapers, one is the 'Millennium Magic Newspaper' and the 'Today's Alchemy Newspaper'."

Due to the signing of several Magisters as special contributors to the newspaper, each issue will produce some experience, enjoying great influence in the empire, only in the past three years, it has become an authoritative newspaper in the industry, popularized throughout the millennium empire, and has a faint tendency to infiltrate the Wagland continent. ”

It turned out that someone had already had such a mental awareness, and Charlie couldn't help but have a trace of curiosity about this mysterious princess: "Hmm! I have quite an idea, but this kind of thing can only be so efficient if it is promoted by the royal family!"

"Yes, there is the support of the entire state apparatus behind it! I want money, I want people!" Yulanda sighed with emotion, and said with a smile: "Junior brother, if you release that set of research methods, I think it will cause a sensational effect, and the teacher will also benefit from it, I really envy you, your brain is too smart." ”

Charlie said with a smile: "Of course, such a big discovery will not be the result of one person, and the senior sister has also helped a lot! However, I don't think there is any need to rush for the time being, now throwing out the theory, can only attract people's attention for a while, if it can cooperate with an amazing experimental effect, and put forward a perfect analysis method and conclusion, and release it together, it is really valuable!"

Yolanda's eyes lit up and said, "It's still the junior brother who thinks about it thoroughly, and then, it's up to you." ”

"Do your best!" Charlie didn't have much confidence in achieving a decisive result.

In the absence of advanced research equipment, Charlie really has not many methods, he has made a lot of attempts: to find the right light, to improve the pH properties of the soil, to increase the air humidity and temperature, etc., there are not many cards left to play, if all the cards are played, the expected effect is not achieved, the experiment will go into a predicament.

Yolanda sighed: "If it were so easy to solve it, it would not have stopped so many alchemy masters, and it is already very remarkable that the junior brother can do this." ”

Charlie nodded silently, put on a sachet containing konjac powder, and loosened the soil around the bloody konjac with an iron rake, trying to carefully avoid the thorny vines buried in the surface of the soil, combing little by little, moving gently, while loosening the soil, sprinkle a small amount of homemade organic fertilizer, and then pour some water, the three processes are carried out alternately, slowly and orderly......

This is Charlie's last trump card.

Yolanda asked, "Junior brother, what are you doing here?"

In her opinion, Charlie is dancing on the tip of a knife, which is really terrifying, many people who breed bloody konjac are afraid to avoid it, Charlie dares to approach it, and repeatedly "provokes"?!

Yolanda saw Charlie pick the thorn vine out of the soil more than once and bury it again, and the partial blood konjac did not react, you must know that although the effect of konjac powder is good, it is not good enough to absolutely avoid risks, otherwise, the first three gardeners would not have paid the price of their lives.

Charlie smiled: "Loosen the soil, the plant is like a human, the rhizome also needs to breathe, and keeping the loose and moist soil will make it feel comfortable." ”

Yolanda felt like she had been taught another lesson: "Did you make it comfortable and it wouldn't attack you?"

"It's complicated, it could attack you for many reasons, for example: it's frightened, or it's enraged, or it's feeling threatened, or it's starving......" Charlie said, slowly pausing.

Inspiration grows like a bud dormant in the dirt after being stimulated by a touch of light, and Charlie quickly remembers a flash of inspiration that flashed in his mind a few days ago.

I remember the question that flashed through his mind at that time: "To be reasonable, shouldn't a powerful predator be so vulnerable?"

Yes, maybe it shouldn't be treated as a pure plant, but if you think about it, can you find inspiration in the way you raise animals? Is it hungry?

Now that the inspiration has finally been strung together, Charlie can't help but laugh out loud, and Yolanda is a little stunned, followed by surprise.

"Junior brother, do you have a way?"

"Well, it's just a conjecture, to be verified. Charlie suppressed his surging mood and said with a smile: "Senior sister, I'm afraid I have to ask you for something." ”

"Just say it. ”

"Get me some meat. ”

"What?meat?raw meat?"

"Yes. ”

Despite not knowing why, Yolanda rushed out, and soon she rushed to the kitchen of the Botanical Garden, and without caring about getting her hands dirty, she grabbed a few pieces of beef ready for dinner, and hurried back to the cultivation room, stunned by the group of chefs who were cooking, and did not understand what was going on for a long time.

"Is this meat okay?" said Yolanda, bringing in some good pieces of beef.

Charlie frowned slightly, retreated to the edge of the field, and said, "Try it." ”

At Charlie's behest, Yolanda threw the beef cube in.

Suddenly, a few black shadows came out of the ground, latched on to the beef pieces, and instantly rolled into a ball, piercing the eyes, the beef was ground into a ball of minced meat, squeezed down from the cracks of the twisted vines, and a few yellow-green long whiskers stretched out from the thorny vines, licked the minced meat like a poisonous snake's letter, and took it back, and the thorny vines relaxed the pressure, softened like noodles, squirming, and dived into the dirt.

If it weren't for the traces of minced meat left in the mud, I wouldn't have believed that the bloody konjac reacted so violently just now.

Yolanda's face turned pale, it was the first time she had seen the attack of the bloody konjac with her own eyes, fast and sudden, replacing the beef with a human, she was a dead person, and she was no exception.

Charlie subconsciously pushed his glasses, but found that he had pushed an empty space, his eyes were shining, and he said: "Senior sister, can you get a few fresh creatures, preferably Warcraft, of course, not too strong." ”

"Oh!" Yolanda paused, came back to his senses, and couldn't help but be shocked by Charlie's thoughts: "That's ...... Does it work?"

"I don't know, give it a try. ”

Despite her skepticism, Yolanda continued to follow Charlie's plan, this time she went straight to the farm, and after a while, brought three Magic Ear Rabbits for adaptation, this kind of creature is considered an entry-level magical beast, not aggressive, has mastered wind magic, is particularly sensitive to wind movements, and is extremely fast, making it the most difficult type of creature to catch in the wild.

"What are you going to do?" Yulanda hugged three pure white fluffy little beings, a little unbearable.

Charlie smiled: "If you can't bear to do it, let me come, dedicate yourself to the cause of science, and it will die a glorious death!"

Yulanda was used to a few strange words from time to time, and she glanced at him, grabbed the ear of a monster-eared rabbit, and threw it in.

This rabbit has spirituality, has not yet landed on the ground to perceive the danger, hunched back twisted, in the air to adjust the posture of the landing, moving like a rabbit, it can be imagined, it will be as fast as lightning after landing, jumping out of the danger zone.

However, something surprising happened, as if stimulated by something, the thorn vines suddenly came out of the ground, raising the earth in the sky, and the heavenly demons danced wildly.

The Devil-Eared Rabbit fell directly into a trap woven like a thorny vine, and was tied up before it landed, and the stinger pierced into the Devil's Ear Rabbit like the fangs of a fierce beast, and the rabbit that was still energetic immediately wilted.

Then, from the hollow spiked cavity, a small snake letter stretched out, burrowed into the body of the devil-eared rabbit, and sucked it violently, the snake letter turned into blood red at a speed that was recognizable to the naked eye, and it was thick, and this suck not only sucked its blood, but also sucked up the scarce magic power in its body.

Looking at the Devil-eared Rabbit whose fur gradually faded and its body gradually dried up, and seeing the swaying appearance of konjac leaves because of comfort and satisfaction, the two fell into shock again.

How can there be such a ferocious and terrifying plant in the world?!

Before Yolanda could recover from the shock, Charlie lost a life to reconnoitre, and as expected, the vitality of the bloody konjac increased by a small margin.

This seems like an amazing find!

Thinking of the dead gardeners, Charlie asked, "Senior sister, are those dead gardeners also dying in this way?"

Yolanda was awakened by him, thought for a moment, and said, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but it is said that I was also sucked with blood. ”

"Did its vitality grow last time?"

Yolanda shook her head and said: "No, because there was such a big accident, everyone didn't notice its changes, I only occasionally found that in those days, its health dropped more slowly than usual, and I didn't think about it carefully, I didn't expect that there was really some connection between it." ”

Charlie can basically conclude: "From the perspective of the phenomenon, it is more demanding on the environment, and in addition, it relies on sucking the blood of demonic beasts to replenish energy, which is the fundamental reason why bloody konjac is difficult to raise." ”

A problem that plagued the entire alchemy world of the Millennium Empire was just stripped away and solved little by little.

Yolanda breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Congratulations, junior. ”

Charlie smiled: "It's not time to celebrate, I still need a few days and a few more rounds of experiments to verify the correctness of the conclusions and grasp some more specific data, such as: what type of demonic beast does it prefer? What is the law of sucking blood in a day? What is the exchange relationship between blood and its own health?"

Only by grasping its rules can it be convincing, and we must make the conclusion as detailed as possible, so that others have no chance to supplement. ”

Yulanda first showed an expression of admiration, and then said with a smile: "This attitude of junior brother is indeed admirable, if you don't say the latter sentence, the image in my heart will be even higher." ”

Charlie laughed and said, "Don't I be allowed to have this bit of selfishness?"
