Chapter 191: Parasitic Beast
Hearing the hint, Roman was relieved, and it was estimated that he would not be resurrected, so he asked Joss to leave the secret realm, and asked with concern:
"What's going on now? Do you still hear that voice? ”
Joss shook her head, her expression relaxed slightly, she fell softly into Roman's arms, and said softly: "I'm so sleepy, a voice in my body tells me that the blood leap is coming, and I will fall into a deep sleep!" ”
Roman frowned and asked, "This time is too coincidental, there won't be a problem, right?" ”
Joss in his arms said tiredly: "It's the spiritual pollution that triggers the bloodline jump, I sleep this time, one is the evolution of the bloodline, and the other is to clear the pollution..."
Roman nodded and replied, "Okay, you can sleep at ease, I will take you with me." ”
At this time, Joss raised her head and smiled slyly: "This time is a little different from the previous times, there is no need to spin silk cocoons." ”
Roman was puzzled, and had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked, "What is that?" Is there anything I need to do? ”
Joss took Roman's hand and smiled softly, her limbs twisting and changing, wrapping Roman's arm around her and pouring in through her pores.
Roman's eyes widened, and a chip prompt came from his ear: "Ding!" If you find that your body has been invaded by a foreign body, do you use psionic energy to remove it? ”
Roman hesitated for a moment, chose "no", and then asked, "Joss, what are you doing?" Parasitic on my right hand? ”
Roman's right hand twisted, and Joss's head grew, and replied:
"I slept relatively lightly this time, maybe I woke up and slept for a while, and the cocoon was not suitable, so I borrowed Roman's right hand to use it!"
Then returning to his normal appearance, Roman hurriedly tried to move his arms, and found that everything was normal, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Joss seemed to remember something, and manipulated her right hand to come to Roman's ear and said:
"When I fall asleep, my body will be handed over to you, but... Don't let me know you're close to another woman, or I'll wake up right away, you know? ”
Then, without waiting for Roman to speak, his arm returned to normal, at which point the chip showed a picture showing the inside of Roman's right hand.
The mass of flesh representing Joss takes over the hand nerves, and the brain instruction signals must pass through Joss before they can reach the hand nerves.
Now Joss is asleep, which means that Roman is completely in control of his right hand.
Then, Roman's mind moved, and his right hand immediately turned into a flesh-colored sickle, and when his mind moved again, it was divided into several tentacles, and the tips of the tentacles were all sickles.
This scene reminded Roman of the movie Parasite, but Joss is much stronger than the Parasite.
He went outside, felt the message in Joss's genes, and then with a thought, his tentacles parted, and he plunged into the ground along the shore of the lake, and then whispered:
"Rotten Range!"
In the next moment, the sound of putrid poison is transmitted through the earth solids into the inner lake, and then through the liquid conduction, causing the putrid poison to fill all the lake water.
Then, Roman withdrew his tentacles, and then made the next look: "Wind Cave!" ”
The strong wind pressure does not compromise at all, sucking everything in front of you.
After some experiments, Roman is in a good mood, and as a result, he has more attacks and greater survivability.
However, there is a restriction on this, and Roman cannot touch other women, otherwise he will wake up Joss and lose control of his right hand.
"Do you want me to rush with my hands?" Roman smiled dumbly, but this thought seemed to be sensed by Joss, and the next moment, the right hand turned into an organ.
", turn back!"
After Joss fell asleep, Roman lived alone on the island, which is not accurate because Joss would wake up every once in a while to talk to Roman.
According to Joss, Earthsea is filled with evil whispers, which are easily perceived by wizards' inspiration in a generally high profile.
These wizards don't have chips and can easily be driven crazy by whispers, and different wizards have different ways of coping.
Joss activates the protective mechanism of the genes and begins to parasitize and sleep, while whispering provides an energy that promotes the bloodline jump.
Joss woke up halfway through because the whispering influence had been cleared and the jump energy was exhausted, and she needed to listen to some more to make the bloodline jump.
As the bloodline jumped, Joss's liquefaction increased little by little, although it was slow, but she was not in a hurry.
They have a long lifespan, and as long as they keep growing, one day, they will all reach level three.
While Joss was sleeping and getting stronger, Roman was not idle, immersed in meditation every day, and the days were calm and leisurely.
During this period, several waves of monsters tried to retake the island, but they were easily repelled by Roman, so they admitted Roman's possession of the island and took a detour.
Over the years, Roman managed to increase the degree of liquefaction by 1% to 11%.
Despite the slowness, Roman didn't care, because he saw a bright future, as long as he kept his feet on the ground and moved forward.
And the life of the isolated island makes Roman completely unaware of the passage of time, when immersed in doing something, there is no difference between a second and ten thousand years.
In addition to the growth of cultivation, the secret realm is also thriving, the realm spirit has sold several batches of requiem jellyfish, making a lot of profits, and the secret realm has added several resource points, producing more world power.
Through the black market trade, Roman's standard of living did not decrease despite the isolated island, and after years of construction, Stone Island became a garden.
The inner lake where the demon house originally existed has disappeared, and Roman drained the lake, plugged the gap in the open sea, and planted flowers and trees, swings, bees, and birds in the lake.
This scene, combined with the bright sunshine of the Fireball Witch Array, did not have the gloomy atmosphere of the original Deep Water Demon Mansion.
In this way, Roman lived peacefully for several years, and was about to continue to improve his liquefaction when an accident interrupted his peaceful life.
Early this morning, Roman was meditating as always, when suddenly a prompt came from the chip: "Ding! Two kilometers to the northeast, human beings are spotted, and they are getting closer! ”
Roman was not surprised, because the information showed that there was a human civilization in the Earth, and it was not unusual to encounter humans at this time.
What really surprised Roman was that he stayed here for three or four years before he met a human.
Thinking of spiders and deep-water demon mansions, he has only one explanation for this, the sea shipping is developed, and Roman is a dangerous area here, far away from safe routes, so there is no one all year round.
In the spirit of magic perception, a human takes a lifeboat, travels through the raging waves, and approaches the Roman island.
Above the island, the fireball glows like a beacon in the night, and has a fatal attraction for shipwrecked.
As the lifeboat approached Stone Island, Roman sensed the aura of a first-level wizard, that is, this rowing human was a first-level wizard.
This information made Roman breathe a sigh of relief, if it was the second level, then Roman would definitely strike first and decisively kill him.
Because only when the combat power is stronger than the other party, can the situation be easily controlled and the interests can be avoided.
Roman stood on the shore and looked in the direction the lifeboat had come, and after about half an hour, a small dot appeared in the distance, gradually getting bigger.
The other party also saw Roman on the shore, seemed to be particularly excited, waved his hand happily, and then increased the speed of rowing.
As the boat approached the shore, Roman gradually saw the other man's face.
The other was a male, about 27 or 8 years old, with brilliant blonde hair, powerful force, rough skin on his hands, and calluses, which were signs of perennial labor.
But this person is a first-level wizard, and his social status should be pampered and talented, how can he do heavy physical work.
Just as Roman was puzzled, the lifeboat approached the shore, and the blonde man stumbled and fell on the beach, and said to Roman in prostration:
"Dude, can you give me something to eat first, I'll let you see it later!"
Roman took out a piece of bread and handed it to the blonde man, whose eyes lit up, snatched it, and then devoured it.
"Huh... It tastes awesome, that... Is there anything else? My name is Ted, the first mate of the fishing boat Lucky! ”
Roman took another one to him and asked, "How long have you been floating at sea?" ”
As he ate, Ted replied, "It's been seven days, there's nothing on the lifeboat, witchcraft can make water balloons, but not food, so I've been hungry for seven days." ”
Witchcraft is used to kill, water balloon ice arrows can hurt enemies, but food cannot, well... Baguettes don't count.
Most of Roman's food on the island is purchased from the black market, and often a requiem jellyfish can be exchanged for a large amount of food.
Ted finished his bread and looked much better, and looked around with a look of surprise on his face: "Oh my God, man, are you going to turn this into a paradise?" ”
Roman shrugged and replied, "I'm shipwrecked here like you, but unlike you, I have a lot of things on me, enough for me to be comfortable for a long time." ”
In Earthsea, both demonic items and rune stones are a hundred times more precious than the surface, because Earthsea does not have any wizard resource points.
Whether it's magic stones, plants, monsters... There are none, most wizards can only rely on their own witchcraft, and only a small number of wizards and magnates have magic stones, demonized items and other things outside the body.
There was no food on the island, and the sorcerers could not make food, so the sorcerers were left on Stone Island, relying on witchcraft alone, and could only wait for death.
And Roman is not dead, but still alive and well, indicating that he has a lot of wizarding supplies, which directly implies that he is very rich.
At this moment, Roman exudes the aura of a third-level apprentice, and at the same time exposes his wealth, just to test Ted's character.
If Ted showed the slightest greed, Roman would not hesitate to kill him, anyway, the other party is only one level, and killing him is no different from slaughtering a chicken.
However, Ted's face was as usual, and he only had just the right amount of surprise: "Then you must be a rich man in the civilized world, and it is too unfortunate to fall on a desert island." ”
Roman continued to probe and pretended to have a good time: "But it's a blessing in misfortune, in the past few years I've been on the island, the people who have pursued me should have given up..."
Ted wondered, "Where was your original home?" ”
Through the black market, Roman was already familiar with the map of the sea of the earth, he casually said an island, and then said in frustration: "My family is dead, where is there a home, I think this island is very good!" ”
Ted seemed to remember something, and said curiously, "I said you... Haven't you heard of this sea? ”
Roman wondered: "What is this place, when the ship sank, I fainted, and when I woke up, I was here." ”
Ted sighed: "This is a fourth-level danger zone, you have lived here for a few years as a third-level apprentice, what a fortune!" ”
Roman was curious: "Oh? What's here? Tell me about it! ”
Ted shook his head, "I don't know, the first rule of the Earth and Sea: Don't seek!" Especially if we run the boat, we can't just ask. ”
"However, the only thing I know is that if you don't have the strength of a first-level wizard, you will basically not be able to get out of this sea area rashly."
When Roman heard this, he asked, "When I first came, I killed a lot of big spiders, and they weren't very powerful!" ”
Roman had a young face, a young man's appearance, and a little lack of knowledge, but Ted didn't find it abnormal, and he patiently explained:
"That's the sea spider, the most common sea beast, ordinary spiders only have the strength of a great knight, but it's their leader who is difficult to deal with, that's a source of spiritual pollution!"
For those beings who can't look directly, that is, things that are mosaic, the earth and the sea unify to become a source of spiritual pollution.
The source of pollution is much more terrifying than that of the beast, not only is it more powerful and treacherous, but under the characteristics of spiritual pollution, the perceived distance that wizards are proud of is useless.
Wizards don't have chips, and the source of pollution is imperceptible, so when wizards face them, they can't play the advantage of precision strikes, and can only rely on their feelings to blow up FAW indiscriminately, greatly reducing the killing efficiency.
And the magic lock of the third-level apprentice is even more useless, because the pollution source has no witchcraft energy, and there is nothing to do in the face of the pollution source in the sea.
Roman pretends to be ignorant, but Ted does not covet Roman's wealth, but teaches him about the source of pollution.
As the spark of the wizarding civilization, the Wizards of the Earth Sea created a source of spiritual pollution through the bodies of the ancient gods.
Under the spiritual pollution, the Mana ecology cannot survive, so as to protect the Earthsea wizard civilization.
So the source of pollution is like a jailer, both protecting and imprisoning the prisoners.
Roman listened in fascination while observing Ted, who had never found Ted's greed on his face.
Roman thinks there are only two explanations for this, one is that Ted is well disguised, and the other is that Ted is really not greedy for his wealth.
But either way, Roman temporarily let go of his murderous intent and asked instead, "Uncle Ted, what are your plans next, do you want to stay here with me?" ”
Ted shook his head, "Of course not, the captain is my father, he will come to me!" ”
Roman wondered: "Your ship sank?" ”
Ted replied: "No, when I was checking the lifeboat, I accidentally fell into the sea with a person and the boat, and the wind was high and the waves were strong, and a huge wave pushed me out of nowhere!" ”
This level of work is quite like a criticism, but it can explain why there is no bad heart.
Roman asked again, "Can your father find you?" ”
"Of course, my father's witchcraft communication distance is 1,500 nautical miles, and we keep in communication, and soon after, he will come to me!"
Immediately afterwards, Ted proudly introduced: "My father is the strongest fisherman on Blackreef Island, a first-class peak wizard, every time he goes to sea, the lucky number he leads has a lot of harvests, and the casualties are also the least!" ”
Roman nodded, indicating that he understood.
Ted continued, "Roman, I invite you to join the Lucky, after all, there is no food and water on the island, and with your reserves alone, you will one day be empty. ”
"So you have to get out of here, and if you're homeless, the Lucky is a good place to go."
Roman frowned and asked, "I have no experience as a sailor, so I may not be able to do a good job." ”
Ted patted Roman on the shoulder, motioned for him to relax, and then said:
"The chores are done by knights, you are a third-level apprentice, you will be in charge of more important positions, it doesn't matter if you have no experience, I can teach you!"
"If you have been missing for four years, your household registration will definitely be cancelled, as long as you join the lucky number, we will help you get the household registration treatment!"
It makes sense, Roman has no reason to refuse, but he is comfortable on the island, so why should he be a sailor and fish?
Just as he refused, Ted said, "When you have accumulated a certain amount of wealth, you can participate in compulsory education and receive the complete ancient wizard inheritance..."
