Chapter 139: Into the Forest
As the best auxiliary creature in the era of ability six hundred years ago, the spirit worm has been snatched by countless people who want to get this thing. So there are actually a lot of records about spirit worms. Although later, because there were fewer and fewer spirit worms, and the spiritual power of human beings themselves was more and more improved, in the end, this creature was drowned in the dust of history. So much so that when it comes to spirit worms now, out of a million people, at most one person knows what it is.
But this is only in ordinary cases. Once someone wants to check, they can find out immediately.
After the era of mechanical intelligence, human beings have fully used the optical brain, and their ability to record historical events is amazing. Even after experiencing the darkest period of the Star Beast Age, human civilization has shrunk to two percent of its original size, but in fact, there is not much history and civilization lost, which also makes the human race recover in just one hundred years after the dark age of the Star Beast has passed.
Because of this, even if the vast majority of people no longer recognize the mark that represents the spirit worm, as long as they check it, they can still find it.
That's why Ming has such worries. If it is known that he has a spirit worm on his body, it will definitely be another twist and turn.
Sansan was the old god and said: "Don't worry, how can this cat master do something that he is not sure of? First, human beings have never had a record of symbiosis with the emperor worm, and the emperor worm is different from ordinary spirit worms in many aspects. If you want to rely on the records left by the parasitism of ordinary spirit worms, it is impossible to recognize the emperor worm. Second, this royal insect is a special species, which has been specially modified by this cat, so it is even more impossible to be recognized! And the most critical. Both of your abilities are great candidates for Spirit Worm kicker. And they are not afraid of being known. Don't forget, your teacher is Thor, so even if everyone knows that you are a thunder envoy, it won't be strange to see you use a powerful lightning attack on a non-thunderstorm night. ”
Xiao Ming nodded in understanding. In fact, he can now use powerful lightning attacks on non-thunderstorm nights, and I don't know if it is affected by Jelly's Moon Ring, what he is good at is not the kind of thunderball of Old Ford, but the Thunder Wheel. Compresses lightning into a lightning scoring wheel that rotates at high speed. Lost the ability to explode, but possessed a faster speed than the Thunderball, and unexpectedly gained the ability to cut.
Old Ford also had to sigh at Xiao Ming's talent, but he didn't know that Xiao Ming was the reason why he used the soul energy amplification. And now with the spirit worm, not only is it more powerful at full strength, but it also no longer needs soul energy amplification, so it saves soul energy even more.
However, the fact that spirit insects also have to eat soul energy made Xiao Ming a little depressed. But after careful calculation, Xiao Ming found that although the spirit worm used soul energy as food, the number was not large. It's only five o'clock in a day. For Xiao Ming's current soul energy storage in units of 100,000, it is nothing at all.
After careful study, Xiao Ming understood why Sansan said that Tifa's physical evolution would stop after using the spirit worm. Because the autonomous evolution of the body requires mental power to guide. The relationship here is very complicated, although the spiritual power itself does not participate in the evolution of the body, but directly guides the evolution of the body, including the direction of evolution, the speed of evolution, the correction of evolution, etc., which are all done in the subconscious according to people's own needs.
This can no longer be called instinct, but function. It's like breathing, heartbeat, digestion, and so on. Although on the surface there is no need for human self-control, in fact, this is completely automatic by human mental power. The most powerful proof of this is that these things can be stopped and changed by will.
And this part of the spiritual power is often also the superfluous spiritual power of human beings themselves.
The relationship between spiritual power and soul is like the relationship between man and body. The soul produces the power of the soul, that is, the spiritual power, which is a consumable energy. The spiritual power produced by a normal soul is often a little more than it consumes, and the extra point is partly controlled by the various functions of the human body, and partly by guiding the evolution of the human body.
But the spirit worm happens to be the one that eats the part of the spiritual power that guides the evolution of the human body. In this way, the human body naturally has no ability to evolve.
But Xiao Ming is different, he can store soul energy, and the soul energy in the big plate can be stored at least a thousand or more at any time, which is completely enough for spirit worms to eat. So even if he is parasitized by spirit worms, Xiao Ming's physical evolution will not stop.
Besides, he cultivated the Soul Sutra, and the evolution of his body was mainly completed by the Soul Melting Technique, even if he didn't have the extra part of his spiritual power, it would not affect his evolution.
But what made Xiao Ming strange was how Sansan would know this? Although the fat cat didn't say it explicitly, but outside the words, it was as if he had known such a result for a long time. Why is that?
Xiao Ming was a little curious, but it didn't matter. He is not afraid of being discovered by Sansan.
Not long after Lan Xiang left, the sun once again revealed a little fish white from the sky.
The three of them and one cat set off again, because Xiao Ming had woken up, so the speed of the three of them was much faster than yesterday. Of course, after Jelly blocked the video recording, Tifa broke out in full force, and that part of the road was incomparable.
Yesterday the three of them were already at the edge of the jungle, so in less than half an hour, everyone entered the swamp area.
The most terrible problem in the swamp area is two points, one is that you don't know where you can walk and where you can't go, once you step on the wrong one, you will fall directly into the swamp, even if you are an ability, unless you have a right ability, it is difficult to get out. The second is swamp miasma, which is what ordinary people call miasma. However, miasma is not only in the form of "qi", but can also exist in the form of water. With today's human technology, miasma is no longer fatal, and any treatment can be done.
But it also requires treatment. Even after the era of human evolution and strengthening, the body element is far more than ten times higher than that of the earth era, but things that are harmful to the human body seem to be evolving, so the body's own immunity to miasma can be delayed until treatment at most.
And in the middle of the game, if you are poisoned, you will be disqualified from the competition.
In fact, of all fourteen areas, the swamp was the only one that on the first day, all the contestants who randomly fell within its range were clawed. Even the most dangerous volcanic areas did not do this.
I have to say that now the Academy of Abilities has not done a good enough job of educating students in terms of comprehensive knowledge, most of the colleges have focused on the cultivation of abilities, and the combat effectiveness is increasing every year, and the promotion rate of Abilities is also rising.
However, the education of some combat survival knowledge is constantly shrinking.
Humans rely too much on equipment, which is not difficult to understand, in regular combat, even the adepts will have a full set of equipment, and some will even use power armor. And having these equipment, what miasma, what swamp, is simply not a matter of consideration.
But human beings seem to have overlooked one point, they are once again slowly moving towards the old path before the era of strengthening, and the consequence of relying too much on equipment is that the evolution of human beings themselves will become slow, or even stagnant, and one day, human beings will suffer greatly because of the equipment they invented.
This is the case with the personality intelligence light brain, and the same is true for the star beasts.
But that's another story, except for a handful of people like old Ford who are at the top of the world who see this trend and make efforts to change it, others are more likely to ridicule these people for being boring.
It was precisely because the swamp had pitted nearly a hundred contestants who had randomly arrived in this area in one day, so at this time, Xiao Ming and the three of them were walking on the ground in the swamp, and their speed did not decrease at all, and they immediately attracted everyone's attention again.
All two of the swamp's two major problems were nothing to Xiao Ming and the three of them.
Soul searching can also be used here, you must know that in the theory of the Soul Sutra, everything in the world has a soul. Xiao Ming usually just deliberately ignores the soul of things. Now you can "see" the surrounding environment by putting the soul of the object on the soul radar.
At the same time, the soul technique is better than the soul search technique here, and you can directly communicate with the soul of qi, water, and plants here, and you can know where it is safe and where it is dangerous.
So in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Ming just closed his eyes for ten minutes, and then after the three of them set off, they avoided all the dangerous areas. All the way non-stop.
& We can be sure that at least one of Xiao Ming, Tifa, and Yingluo has the ability to judge danger in advance. And according to my observations, there should be two of them with such abilities, Xiao Ming is one of them, and it is not very clear whether the other is Tifa or Yingluo. Lu Lusai said in a deep voice.
&Anyway, they're very strong!" Sai Lulu said: "Xiao Ming actually had an encounter last night, but because it was night, coupled with signal interference, we couldn't know the process of this encounter. However, according to Noah's calculations, we can still know that the encounter with Xiao Ming and them was Lan Xiang, a classmate from Lines Academy......!
Sailulu was introducing Lan Xiang's situation, but everyone was not interested, because the reputation of Raines Academy was too stinky. In the minds of many people, even caring about Lines's news will be a disgusting and sinful thing at the same time.
It took half a day for Xiao Ming and the three of them to leave the area and enter the forest area.
The forest area is currently one of the most combative areas among the fourteen regions, and many of the supernatural beings are actually very good at fighting in the forest, and most of the academies, like the Tianba Academy, have discussed the focus in advance. Some colleges, on the other hand, have chosen forest areas.
So more than 300 people have now gathered in the forest area, and a full-scale melee is underway. (To be continued......)
