Verse 70: I have not fallen
"So, how can this magic energy be replenished?"
Almost instantly, the scene where the needle gold had solved the silver spear scorpion jumped into his mind.
It was a moment of life and death, a moment of survival, and the impression on the needle gold was so deep that it was like engraved in the heart of the young man.
Needle Gold immediately stood up and walked over to the corpse of a spear scorpion.
The silver scorpion had turned to soot, and the other surviving scorpions had fled, but there was still an ordinary scorpion that had been killed.
Needle Gold activated the magic crystal in his heart, and his palm glowed red.
Red light cannot be emitted directly.
"Does it need contact to be effective?" said Needle Gold frowned slightly.
He didn't rush to put his palm on the scorpion shell, but stopped first.
Needle Jin carefully felt the demon core in his heart, and whispered in his mouth: "It can be urged at any time, and it can also be stopped immediately, and it will not be affected by the demon core, and this kind of urging and stopping seems to be very small because it does not constitute a human body abnormality, so the consumption is very small, and it is completely negligible." ”
"So, let's test the blood first. ”
The spear scorpion was pierced by the scorpion tail of the needle, and the scorpion blood continued to flow from the pierced wound.
Much of the scorpion's blood flowed to the ground, steaming hot from the hot lava surface, and the strong smell of blood quickly spread around.
A red light shrouded the palm of the needle-gold.
Needlegold probed his palm into a small pool of blood on the ground.
The red light spread instantly, almost fleetingly.
The original small pool of blood was directly transformed into a puddle of toner. As the scorpion blood continued to trickle down, the toner was immediately mixed up in the blood.
"As long as it is a part of a living body, it can be transformed through the magic core. ”
Needle Gold waited patiently for a moment.
When the small pool of blood on the ground was similar to the previous accumulation, he urged the demon core to absorb it again.
"This time, the magic energy that has been transformed and stored is a little more than before. ”
"Is it because the scorpion blood has just been accumulated, and the degree of mana dissipation is better than before?"
Needle gold guess.
"Although magic energy cannot be directly transformed into magic power, as long as it is aimed at a living body, the higher the magic power contained in a life form, the more special magic energy will be transformed. ”
"Therefore, under normal circumstances, the stronger the life level, the higher the quality of the magic power, and after absorbing the transformation, the more magic energy in the demon core. ”
"So what's that ceiling?"
"At least, a silver-level lifeform, the demon core can be absorbed. ”
Eventually, the needle gold covered the corpse of the spear scorpion with a reddish palm.
A similar scene happened again.
Red light spread out from the palm of the needle gold, turning into four blood lines.
The blood thread wrapped around the entire corpse of the spear scorpion like a snake, and then quickly darkened, as if it had penetrated into the interior of the corpse.
After two breaths, the four blood lines were clear again, and the blood red color was more vivid and intense than before.
The bloodline was quickly recycled, and a lot of magic energy was added to the core.
At the same time, the corpse of the spear scorpion also turned into a small pile of soot.
"It can't be compared with the harvest of absorbing the Silver Spear Scorpion before. ”
Practice proved the speculation before the needle.
"Wait, I can conjure the scorpion's chelicera!"
Originally, the needle gold could only mutate the tail and shell of the spear scorpion, and after absorbing the corpse of the second bronze scorpion, he added a new spear scorpion variation.
The young knight's eyes gleamed with thought.
In this way, the more the same life form is absorbed, the more options there are for change. ”
These changes and choices are all related to this kind of life. ”
"As long as I absorb and transform enough spear scorpions, can theoretically, I be able to completely transform into a spear scorpion?"
Needle Gold continued to clean up the battlefield.
In this battle, his spider blade was broken, shattering into many pieces.
He carefully picked up the fragments from the battlefield.
Then, he mobilized the demon core in his heart again.
A red glow flashed, and the fragments of the spider's blade quickly turned to soot. With a light sprinkling of gold, it turned into ashes and drifted away.
Needlegold once again focused on the core.
Soon, a touch of joy appeared on his face.
He tried to activate the magic core again, and the five fingers of his left hand quickly changed, and after a few breaths, they turned into five slender spider blades!
The five spider blades were all small, not comparable to the blades they had swung before, but slightly longer than the five fingers of an adult.
But the blade was shiny and emitted a cold glow. The five fingers of the needle gold move, striking each other, and when the blades collide, they make a crisp sound similar to the impact of metal.
"Obviously, these blades are as sharp as they were when I first got the Spider Blade. ”
Needle Gold tried to mobilize more heart core magic energy.
The spider blade that his five fingers had turned into became more and more slender, and it had a tendency to be on par with the spider blade that had broken before.
But then the consumption of magic energy is getting bigger and bigger.
Needle Gold soon stopped the attempt.
"The magic energy in the heart core must be saved. I've tried it multiple times today and I've consumed enough. ”
"That's amazing!"
The boy let out a heartfelt admiration.
With such a strong hole card, he can calmly face a lot of dangers. The existence that could bring him a threat before is now a threat from the teenager.
"With this mysterious and wonderful magic core, I will definitely be able to get out of this island and get out of here alive!"
From the time he woke up to the present, there has never been such a moment when the boy has such confidence in escaping.
Needlegold scanned the place one last time.
It was here that he took control of the demon core in his heart for the first time.
"Perhaps, this is the turning point in my fate. Needle Gold smiled.
Without hesitation, the boy turned and walked away from the battlefield.
He returned to his original cave without incident.
The beard and purple pedicle are gone.
"The spear scorpion was defeated and fled, and if they encounter Zidi and Needlegold, they will be in a bad situation. ”
"I've got to get to them. ”
"But before that......"
Needlegold focused on the corpses of the spear scorpions in the cave.
The cave was constantly flickering with red light.
Previously, the exploration team fought here and killed many spear scorpions.
Under the red light, these spear scorpions all turned into piles of soot.
Although it has been placed overnight, most of the magic power in the spear scorpion's body has escaped, but it has accumulated a lot, and at this moment, the magic energy reserves in the needle gold heart core have reached the most abundant level in history.
"Huh?" sensing the heart core, the needle gold raised his eyebrows slightly, sure enough!
"Scorpion shell, scorpion tail, chelicerae, scorpion eyes, scorpion feet...... I can transform into a full spear scorpion now!"
For this result, the needle gold has long been expected.
I just didn't expect that the process of reaching this result would be so short.
The corpses of the spear scorpion were all absorbed by the needle gold, and the young knight did not rush to leave, but stepped into the deepest part of the cave.
There, he found the white buds.
"As expected. Needle Gold sighed softly.
The white buds were discarded.
Whether it is Zidi or Cangmu, these two people are difficult to protect themselves, and it is impossible to take the burden of white buds with them when they escape.
But the needle could not reproach these two.
It's all about survival.
Needle Gold probed his fingers under Bai Ya's nose and immediately felt a faint breath.
White Bud is not dead yet.
Needle Jin has reached out and stroked Bai Ya's forehead.
It was found that his high fever had subsided!
"Well done. The boy complimented and looked very happy.
Since he woke up, he has been fighting, struggling to survive, fighting for his ideals.
Bai Bud also did not give up.
Even if he was unconscious, he was trying to survive.
This kind of spirit and will makes needle gold resonate very much.
But soon, the teenager's face became a little complicated and subtle again.
Seeing Bai Ya with his own eyes, he couldn't help but recall the scene when his fate was on the line before.
At the moment of death, the needle gold is so embarrassed.
In the face of death, he involuntarily developed a strong fear, which caused him to fall into a panic.
The desire to survive was so strong that he roared in his heart, trying to break his moral bottom line.
"Can anyone weaker than me escape? I'm stronger than them, and I'm going to die?"
"If I had listened to the counsel of the beard and eaten human flesh, perhaps I would have been saved. ”
"Why should I listen to a peer in my memory, 'Hell is at your feet, and the fall is imminent'? ”
"I've found that staying alive is more important than anything else!"
"Even ...... Everyone else is dead, what does it have to do with me?"
"I want to live!!"
These were real, real, thoughts that came from the deepest part of his heart!
And these ideas never arise in a normal state.
It happened not so long ago, but it all felt like a dream.
"What a nightmare!"
"Could it be...... Am I really a greedy person who is afraid of death?"
"Is it a despicable and shameless person?"
Needle Gold asked himself in his heart at the moment.
The joy of surviving fades, the curiosity to explore the secrets of the magic core is gone, and Needlegold finally has to face himself.
The life-and-death battle with the silver spear scorpion made him see his ugly side.
"Is that really me?"
"Do I really think that?"
The young man half-knelt beside Bai Ya, and his lowered face seemed to be covered with a layer of gray.
He lowered his head, his posture was no longer as tall as before, and he looked a little rickety.
"No, no, I'm a Templar. ”
"I'm a Templar!"
Although he told himself this in his heart, he still felt shame, self-blame, and doubt about himself.
"Ahem, ahem. ”
At this moment, Bai Ya made a coughing sound, and then the next moment, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Needle, needle gold, Lord ......" Bai Ya noticed that the needle gold half-kneeling beside him had a very weak voice.
The needle gold's body was shocked, and he hurriedly leaned over and approached Bai Ya: "It's me, Bai Ya, you have to hold on!"
"Your Excellency...... Thank you, you must have saved me. Bai Ya looked at the needle gold, full of gratitude.
With that, he closed his eyes again and fell into a coma again.
He was so weak and in very poor physical condition.
"Yes, I saved you. I'll save you. Needle Gold stared blankly at Bai Ya, and kept muttering in his mouth.
Bai Ya's words were like a light, a white dawn that illuminated the young man's heart and dispelled the darkness on his face.
In the dark, it was as if a force had been injected into the young knight's body.
The boy looked up, his posture no longer looking rickety.
His gaze scanned the cave, and the scene from last night came back to his eyes.
His ears seemed to hear the echo of his voice here again.
At dawn, the young knight said loudly, "I don't use people as food!"
At that time, he was very firm - "Don't persuade me anymore, I've already made a decision." ”
No matter how critical the situation was, he remained optimistic and hopeful—"Let's go, at this time, get out of the cave and we'll see the light of dawn."
In the young knight's mind, the family motto of the Darkglow family resurfaced - hell is at the feet, and the fall is imminent.
Needlegold's eyes gradually brightened.
"I am not depraved. ”
"I stuck to my bottom line, the principles of knighthood. ”
"Rest assured. ”
He looked at the unconscious White Bud.
"I'll revive you. ”
"Instead of ...... Eat you. ”
The young man put Bai Ya on his back and slowly stood up.
With White Bud with him, he left this tragic cave battlefield.
The dawn has long come.
