"It's amazing, I can speak directly!"

Hearing this, Xiuge couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his face, he gently pressed "Justina" on the head twice, and then took out two more full magic crystals, and stuffed them directly into the small creature in front of him.

Naturally, "Justina" would not refuse to feed Xiuge, and it couldn't wait to digest the previous crystals, so it arched directly forward, and the soft translucent body immediately wrapped two new pieces of food, through its body, Xiuge could see "Justina" quickly gather all the crystals together, like those children who were in a hurry to pull food into their plates.

Until now, Giustina's message has always been about eating.

This behavior shows that at this time, it has officially entered a stage of accelerated growth, and everything that Xiuge has fed before, whether it is the magic crystal or the "color of life", has also been completely digested by "Giustina", and has brought about extremely obvious changes to it.

As Shuge calmed down, he was surprised to find that the magical connection between himself and "Justina" became more stable and clear, and as the soft shadow in front of him continued to suck the magic from the magic crystal, the passage connecting each other's thoughts and ideas became stronger and stronger.

On this basis, Xiuge naturally began to try to communicate with this special "heir" on a deeper level.

Compared to before, "Justina" has become very rich in responses, and in addition to the very classic "hungry", it has also begun to try to send more clear messages to Xiuge.

Justina's memories are so mixed and damaged by the previous assault on the city of Salem that it often makes strange and hilarious mistakes when organizing her language, such as mixing lingua franca with the dialects of some remote areas, or mistakenly using words that don't fit the context.

It's a fun process that reminds me of children who have begun to learn to speak, but have very limited vocabulary and pronunciation.

However, thanks to the magical connection between the two parties, even if the expression of "Justina" is very confusing, Shuge can still understand most of the meaning, and through these chaotic messages, Shuge further confirms its status.

Shuge raised his hand and gently patted the edge of the heir's body in front of him in a slow rhythm, this gentle touch from the "father's" made it feel stable and comfortable.

"As its strength continues to recover, memories of its previous damage begin to be repaired, which clearly helps it reembrace its own consciousness and establish a clearer sense of self."

"At this stage, its need for mana and life force will also increase, which makes sense, after all, only enough power can support the memory reserves it once had, but for now, the magic crystals can still meet the needs, so I don't have to rush to use the remaining 'Life Color'."

At this time, because of the continuous "eating" and Xiuge's appeasement, the small creature gradually calmed down, and it seemed to enter a state similar to sleep, its body only trembled slightly, and the "cat ears" on the top of its head that changed according to Xiuge's preferences also softened and merged back into the body.

So Shug carefully lifted "Justina" with the mage's hand, and opened the huge water bottle with a wide mouth, so that it "flowed" into the kettle with the magic crystals in his body.

As a not-so-competent father, Shuge was looking forward to the future of this strange being.

Of course, Xiuge also knew that he needed to be as cautious as possible.

Of course, Giustina can continue to grow, but in the process, that part of the memory and perception that is beneficial to Vann must take over.

Shug picked up the large, already heavy kettle, and carefully attached several protective magical rituals to it, then gently snapped his fingers to summon a cluster of Destiny Roots, and used the small illusion it created to envelop "Justina's" safe place.

"May you grow up well......"

He said a word silently, and then put the kettle back into its original hiding place.

The wind and waves outside became stronger, and even Xiuge was a little uncomfortable, so he changed into light and loose clothes, and turned to lie down on his bed.

Because of the fierce conflict between the Abyssal Spider and the Court Hound, he didn't even have time to complete the sacrifice of the rest of the magic sacrifices he had brought in, and until now the various materials of great value remained in the dream shelter.

"Finally time to deal with you......"

With this in mind, Xiuge quickly fell asleep and fell into the strange plane.

……

As Hug embarks on a new journey, Theseus, who has been staying in the dream shelter all day and "not doing his job", does not know where to slip away, and the faceless god seems to be in a hurry, not only did he not leave any reminders, but he also did not have time to save the computer game he had played.

In the spirit of helping others, Shuge ordered a save for Theseus, and then devoted himself to his own affairs.

The benefits of increased strength are still very obvious.

For the ancient creatures inside the Dream Shelter who liked to follow their primitive instincts, the real power was the most effective way to talk, and the hostility of these ancient creatures towards Shug had begun to decrease significantly since the last time they came into contact with the Abyssal Spider.

They were still extremely greedy in the face of the "sacrifices" that Shuge had brought out, but after accepting these sacrifices, they did not attack Shuge again, but accepted the change of circumstances very honestly.

The need for "five hundred universal gold coins" was a condensed desk drawer, which looked similar to the drawer used by Shug to obtain the Touch of Calron, except that the surface of this drawer was attached to a strange streamer, a thin veil of golden light and black mist.

As a bag of gold coins dissolved into the streamer, the drawer flicked open, but Shug was not attacked again, and he only saw five bullets in the drawer that shimmered with strange light.

In terms of style, this bullet is basically the same as the general-purpose bullet in Vann, but after Xiuge picks up these bullets, he can feel a burst of heat from them.

In the light, the surface of the bullet would constantly flash with some strange scale texture, which made Xiuge inevitably think of the scale armor of some large lizard, and at the same time, a message appeared and floated from the depths of the spiritual ocean.

"Wealth and minerals are nothing more than useless scales shed by the Lord of the Flames...... What do you mean? Are these things from some plane and time to travel 'gold bullets'? ”

While savoring the words in his heart, Xiuge looked at these bullets, their appearance was indeed a bit "expensive", and they were obviously disposable consumables, which made Xiuge feel a little apprehensive, and he didn't know what the specific effect of these strange bullets was.

After putting away the bullets, Xiuge took a moment to exchange the rest of the magic materials for all the rest.

Perhaps because the blood of the three magical creatures was of relatively average quality, they were not exchanged for real magical abilities or physical dependents, but three items that were unexpected by Xiuge.

The blood of the sea serpent was exchanged for a recipe copied on tattered paper, and Xiuge's knowledge of potions was average, but judging from the materials involved, it was supposed to be a special potion containing a lot of toxins, and the exact effect was unknown.

The exchange of the blood of the toucan seagull was an extremely large feather, almost capable of being used as a fan, it seemed to be the feather of some kind of ancient bird that had disappeared, and Shuge could easily feel the rich magic contained in it, but he did not know for a moment what the feather could do.

Then there was the exchange of the blood of the lupus on the plains, a magical dagger of a special style, sharp and strong, with a strange gem in its center.

And when Xiuge looked at the emerald green gem, he felt a slight dizziness inexplicably, and as he injected magic into the dagger, a special hidden magic ritual was activated, which made Xiuge's figure and aura disappear directly in place.

In terms of appearance, sharpness, and the magical ritual to which it is attached, this is a good self-defense weapon, but it seems a little redundant for Xiuge, who has a variety of abilities and weaponry.

"Give it away as a weapon...... Seems like a good choice? ”

Shuge thought for a moment, then fastened the dagger to his belt.

The last thing to redeem was the giant tortoise shell encased in the magic gel.

This shell comes from a species of extremely ferocious deep-sea giant tortoise.

They are completely different from ordinary sea turtles, not only swimming at incredible speeds, but also boasting exaggerated aggression, and the abundance of magic in their bodies makes their shells incredibly hard and magnificent, and in the eyes of alchemists, this kind of shell is often an important material for making expensive utensils.

However, when the owner of the turtle shell is killed, the mana inside the turtle shell will quickly begin to drain, and in order to preserve the magic in it, it is necessary to put the turtle shell into the magic gel in time to preserve it.

And when Shug removed the turtle shell from the magic gel and stuffed it into the locker filled with a large amount of deep mist, a soft fluid that shimmered with strange brilliance flowed out of it.

The fluids looked somewhat similar to the "Colours of Life", and when they came to the surface, the Calon Touch reacted violently.

So Xiuge complied with the request of the Touch of Calon to release all of them, and in just a dozen seconds, these active tentacles absorbed the brilliant fluid flowing in a way that Xiuge could not understand at all.

This fluid, which is clearly associated with the Deep-Sea Clans, has brought about a very noticeable change in the touch of Charon.

As a brilliant light and shadow entered Xiuge's spiritual world, the groove on the metal disc that originally belonged to the touch of Calon also flashed with a strange luster, and the originally simple tentacle pattern on the groove immediately became vivid, and then the brilliance began to move towards the outer layer along the lines on the metal disc, and quickly arrived in the new space on the disk.

A new groove was chosen as a matter of course.

Then Xiuge saw that these strange lights and shadows continued to converge and twist in the depths of the groove, and finally intertwined into a huge carapace with sharp edges and exaggerated spikes, similar to the carapace that Xiuge had seen in the giant sea beasts in the rat swarm dream before, and he didn't know if they represented the same kind of sea family.

The change in the groove had been set, and Shog raised his hand and quickly summoned several Calon touches, which looked the same as before, except that the keratin covering its surface seemed to be much smoother.

Curious, Shuge gave a command in his head, and the pliable tentacles immediately kink together.

Amazing changes began.

Unlike the rough defensive web formed by the intertwined Touches of Calon in the past, this time, the Touches of Calon achieved a true "fusion", and they completely lost their original tentacle form, and completely merged into a whole like the brilliant fluids flowing out of the cabinet.

A huge "shield" that was enough to protect Xiuge's whole body appeared, it was like the huge carapace that appeared in the groove, with extremely sharp spikes and extremely sharp outline lines, from which the light and shadow of magic continued to escape, giving people an extremely strong sense of security.

Shuge immediately tested the unfamiliar "shield", and the results surprised him.

The special means of protection evolved from the rough lines of defense he had improvised in the past, and after testing, Hug found that the lethal magic that could have effectively damaged Calon's Touch had also become weaker, and according to Hug's rough judgment, it could even withstand the frontal bombardment of lake-level and river-level magic.

In a burst of steaming magical mist, Xiuge satisfactorily disbanded the "giant shield" that had just undergone several rounds of magical impact.

There was only one thing he had to test in the dream shelter.

Shug came to the empty hallway, he raised his palm, and the fangs of the hounds shimmered with deep light and shadow appeared, and several lines of magic extended from the body of the spear and were rigidly connected to Shug's wrist.
