Chapter 654: Gu Egg
After discovering these strange egg-shaped items, Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai hurriedly rummaged around the bottom of the pit, constantly erasing the floating soil on the giant eggs they found and throwing them aside.
After a while, the two men turned the bottom of the entire pit upside down, just like archaeologists excavating the ancient tomb site, and found a total of 16 giant eggs half-buried in the earth.
When cleaning up the floating soil on the giant egg, the two of them were cautious at first, for fear of accidentally stepping on the eggs, but then the two of them found that the hardness of the eggshells of these giant eggs was far beyond their imagination. Even if you step on the top of the giant egg and jump hard, you won't damage the shells of these eggs in the slightest.
So the more these two men worked, the more bold they became, and the speed of their hands became faster and faster, and in a short time they cleared all the eggs under the entire dirt pit. Even the two of them dug around the edge of the pit with a sapper shovel, but they didn't see any other eggs hidden in the pit, and there should be only these eggs here.
In order to figure out what these eggs were, Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai wanted to lift a whole egg out of the soil, so the two of them reached under a giant egg by one of them.
At first glance, the surface of this giant egg is very smooth, but in fact, the surface of the giant egg is covered with many small circular holes, which can make people exert strength, but despite this, Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai still did not lift this giant egg, this kind of egg is too heavy.
The two of them used all their strength, but they only made the giant egg shake slightly, and the umbrella stone handsome who was holding the thicker end of the giant egg was stunned for a moment, and through the slight tremor of the giant egg just now, he felt as if the inside of the giant egg was filled with some very viscous liquid.
Umbrella Shi Shuai was not very sure, after all, the giant egg just now only shook slightly, but he felt that eight or nine were not far from ten, and the feeling that came back from the egg was indeed that feeling, as if the inside of this egg was full of liquid.
Yang Lei was an anxious man, seeing that this kind of giant egg couldn't even lift it, he raised the sapper shovel, ready to make a violent crack, but just when he made this action, he heard Shangguan Kangning's shout.
"Stop!"
Yang Lei, who was tired and sweating profusely, wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned his head, only then did he notice that Shangguan Kangning, who was standing aside, had a very unsightly face.
Shangguan Kangning's face was pale, even in this poorly lit place, it was still clearly visible, and even his face was almost the same color as these giant eggs.
"Shangguan Kangning, are you stupid? Your lips are purple, aren't you so daring? Seeing Shangguan Kangning's appearance, Yang Lei, who originally wanted to tease him, gave up this idea. He could see that Shangguan Kangning was really scared, so he didn't have the heart to joke.
"I'm not scared, I'm excited, this kind of ass...... This kind of egg seems to be a Gu egg. I can't think of it, I really can't imagine that this kind of thing really exists, it's an eye-opener, I'm really eye-opening, this time it's really not in vain. ”
When he said this, Shangguan Kangning's voice trembled very much, obviously he was really very excited.
At this time, Shangguan Kangning's eyes were full of strange light, and his two hands were raised slightly, his action gave people the feeling that he was about to rush forward and hold this kind of giant egg to admire.
But Shangguan Kangning kept standing still, as if he was deliberately suppressing his impulses and not allowing himself to rush forward. Shangguan Kangning's move gave people a very incongruous feeling, and after noticing this, Umbrella Shishuai opened his mouth and asked:
"Gu Dan? According to the literal understanding, is there a huge Gu worm in this egg, and is this kind of thing dangerous?
As you said before, the huge shadow under the water is likely to be a very large Gu worm, and the size of this egg is not small, is there such a possibility, the things inside the giant egg are actually the kind of things underwater? ”
Umbrella Shishuai's question was asked to the point at once, and a trace of appreciation flashed in Shangguan Kangning's eyes, and then he said excitedly:
"It's been so many years, it's likely that the contents of the egg have long since died, but the possibility that the contents of the egg are still alive cannot be ruled out, and I really don't know what is inside the egg.
The Gu egg is not an egg of a Gu worm, but a vessel for cultivating Gu worms, which is actually like an artificially made eggshell. This kind of skill only exists in legends, and even the great power of cultivating Gu worms in ancient times has only been heard, and I can't imagine that I can actually see it with my own eyes today.
Modern people usually cultivate Gu worms by finding some adults or larvae that can be made into Gu worms, and then cultivating them little by little, as if they were transformed after tomorrow, refining these worms into Gu worms. However, the cultivation method of Gu eggs is the opposite.
The earlier the cultivation of Gu worms, the better, the smaller the worms, the easier it is to cultivate, and the stronger the Gu nature, but in the same way, the smaller the worms, the more fragile they are, and it is easy to die in the process of cultivation. Gu Egg was born precisely to avoid this situation.
Put some insect larvae or eggs into the Gu eggs for cultivation, and at the same time, put in some materials for refining Gu worms, so that these insects will stay in the Gu eggs until they become adults.
The Gu eggs wrapped outside can provide a sealed environment to ensure the safety of the insects inside, and the insects inside the eggs have been soaked in the refining materials for a long time, which can make the Gu nature of these insects stronger. Slowly absorb the medicinal properties of the material and cultivate your own Gu nature.
Maybe the Gu egg method was inspired by eggs or duck eggs. It sounds very simple, it is an eggshell made artificially, but it is very difficult to make a Gu egg that can seal all the Gu worms into it and prevent the Gu worms from dying.
The thickness of the Gu eggs is different when cultivating different Gu worms, because the living habits of each kind of worm are different, and the walls of the Gu eggs used by the Gu worms that need a higher temperature are thinner, and vice versa. In the same way, both eggs and insects also need to breathe, and the Gu eggs seem to be sealed, but they are actually covered with dense ventilation holes.
The biggest function of these holes is to breathe. Do not allow the eggs or larvae inside the eggs to suffocate to death. However, the premise of breathability is not to be able to penetrate water, otherwise the liquid soaked in the eggs in the Gu eggs will flow out.
Moreover, the material made of Gu eggs must be hard, so as to better protect the Gu worms inside. However, the harder the material, the more difficult it is to make some fine holes in it, because the harder the material, the more brittle it is, and if you punch holes in it, it is easy to destroy the eggshell made of this material.
Therefore, in the vast majority of the classics about Gu worms, Gu eggs are ethereal and only exist in legends, and this technology is not easy to make even if it is made using modern technology.
It is not impossible to have a material that is both breathable and waterproof, but this material may not be suitable for the cultivation of Gu worms, and the habits of Gu worm eggs are different, and it is almost impossible to use one material to meet the cultivation of all Gu worms at the same time. ”
After listening to Shangguan Kangning's words, Umbrella Shishuai stuck out his tongue in surprise. Just like Shangguan Kangning said, this kind of thing like a Gu egg sounds very simple, just a man-made eggshell, but if you really want this eggshell to work, it is really a difficult thing to compare.
Thinking of this, Umbrella Shi Shuai turned around again and looked at the 16 huge Gu eggs placed in the dirt pit. These things are so big, the difficulty of making them can be imagined, and it is much more difficult than making average-sized Gu eggs.
This is really interesting, it is very difficult to make an ordinary-sized Gu egg, it is already a legendary-level existence, and every egg here is nearly a meter long, it is simply an atomic bomb in the Gu egg, no wonder Shangguan Kangning is so excited.
Because he didn't know what the contents of these eggs were, and he didn't know if the things in the eggs were still alive, Umbrella Shishuai stopped Yang Lei, who was flipping indiscriminately, and prevented him from touching these huge eggs again.
Yang Lei was very obedient, and after knowing that these things might be dangerous, he didn't touch them alive or dead, but Shangguan Kangning finally couldn't help it, and suddenly saw the legendary Gu eggs, and they were so big, and there were so many, even if he knew that these things were dangerous, it was difficult for him to suppress the impulse in his heart.
He kept stroking on a giant egg, trying to figure out what the ingredients were made of. Shangguan Kangning's action of stroking the egg was like a father caressing his newborn daughter.
The three people here discovered new things and studied them for a long time, and some scholars were discussing the posture of the problem with each other, but the three people on Chen Ziyang's side did not have such a good time.
Now the three Maoshan descendants are all wounded, and the mana in their bodies has been consumed more than half, and they are about to bottom, but the wood giant is still alive and well, constantly fighting with the three of them.
At the beginning, because the Wood Giant was restricted by the terrain, it was easy to trip when chasing three people or moving, but as the battle lasted for a long time, this dirt bag was smashed by the Wood Giant a lot, and the whole small dirt bag has been leveled a lot, the slope has slowed down a lot, and the terrain is not so limited to the Wood Giant.
Now the Wood Giant has also learned to behave, and when it pursues the three people, it uses its fists to open the way, and beats it with its fists in advance where it is going to pass, so that it is easier for the Wood Giant to walk on it.
This wood giant is worthy of being the guardian organ left by Yuan Tiangang, and it seems that he still has a trace of wisdom. Even Chen Ziyang felt that maybe the thing in the head of the wood giant was not wood, and calling this guy a little too demeaning by a wooden head.
After dodging a heavy punch from the Wood Giant, Chen Ziyang was shocked and rolled to the side, colliding with Jin Huang, who had just fallen out.
"Brother Jin, it's not a way to go on like this, our attack is of no use to this wood giant at all, it's like throwing stones into the sea, we must find another way to break that spirit rune."
"You're right, but the mana contained in that rune is too strong, is there any way to break the rune directly?" The problem that Chen Ziyang said had already appeared in Jin Huang's mind, but he had not found a way to deal with it, so Jin Huang did not raise it.
"The mana contained in the golden talisman is endless, we can't consume much at all, and it hurts the enemy by one thousand and self-inflicts eight hundred, and the mana in our body is incomparable with the mana in the talisman.
Therefore, if you want to break this golden talisman, you can only let the mana in the talisman dissipate by itself. I thought of a method that I don't know if it can be done, is it okay to use the Sun Relief Array? ”
Hearing the three words of the Sun Relief Array, Jin Huang's eyes lit up. Before, he was just thinking about how to consume the mana in the talisman, but he completely ignored it, it turned out that the mana in the talisman could dissipate by itself.
The Yang Discharge Array is a deformation of the Yin Discharge Array. When the Maoshan heirs deal with the evil thing, if the yin energy in the evil object is very strong and there is no way to confront it, it is necessary to find a way to reduce the yin energy contained in the evil thing. After reducing the yin qi of the evil object to a certain level, it can be dealt with.
The Yin Vent Array is used in this formation, if it is wrapped in the Yin Vent Array, the Yin Qi contained in the evil object inside will be exported by the formation. If the formation of the Yin Relief Array is strong enough, it can even directly make the yin qi in the evil object inside not at all, and directly destroy the evil thing.
The Yang Relief Array is basically the same as the Yin Relief Array, except that the Yang Discharge Array can only export Yang Qi. Therefore, this formation is very rarely used among Taoist heirs, and only on rare occasions can it be used when two Taoist heirs fight each other.
"The Yang Relief Array, yes, the Yang Relief Array works, directly export the yang energy contained in the spirit rune, although the formation we portray is weaker than the golden rune, and the speed of yang energy export will not be too fast, but the water flows for a long time, and if it drags on for a long time, you can also export the mana contained in the golden rune cleanly."
Hearing that Jin Huang agreed with his idea, Chen Ziyang nodded. He had calculated in his mind before that the Sun Relief Array should be able to achieve the purpose of dealing with the Wood Giant, so it should have been recognized by Jin Huang.
But despite this, Chen Ziyang showed an embarrassed expression and continued: "There is a method, but there are two problems. The first is how to climb to the position of the spirit rune to carve the formation. The second is what to use to form a formation. ”
