Chapter 346: 'Nine Witches'
The scorching sun is in the sky, and the scorching sun scorches the earth.
In California in July, the scorching heat is unbearable, but in a giant French-style villa near Silicon Valley that sits at the foot of verdant green hills and backdrops a huge lake, the temperature is very cool even if the air conditioning is not turned on.
On the large trapezoidal terrace built along the hill of the villa, a middle-aged man who is meticulously dressed in a black tuxedo and even a bow tie on a hot day gestures and directs a group of maids to methodically set up the dining table under the grape trellis.
"Flowers, Aditya, flowers refer to freshly picked flowers, not this wilted plant embryo, replace all the flowers immediately, no need to make special orders, go to the wild to pick a few handfuls of mountain flowers, soak them in water, it's okay, wild fun, do you understand, what we need is wild fun;
Tinia, Jones I have long said that the height and weight of the guests should be considered when arranging the dinner plates, Miss Guo and Miss Ai are very slender as the guest of honor, and the two of them are very good friends, so all their plates are closer to each other for easy conversation. It will undoubtedly be more enjoyable when eating;
Wine, Arya, Edith, I see the wine you have prepared, the first red wine of Château Margaux 87 years old... The choice is very good, but how can you forget the most important thing, Coke, for the gentleman, cold enough Coke is his only love, and he will probably drink a full dozen of the banquet guests, go and prepare..."The villa housekeeper picked on the fault, obviously to do his duty perfectly.
While he and his servants were busy, the villa was in the master bedroom next to the lakeshore. Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the big bed, suddenly opened his eyes, and muttered in surprise: "Breakthrough, breakthrough!"
Nine Witches, Nine Witches, I have been busy making up classes and defending at the university for the past few months, and I have been practicing intermittently, I really didn't expect to break through like this..."
A few months ago, 'Tudnan' took advantage of the mistaken attack by the tribal alliance led by 'Samru', 'Fenlunga', 'Aruya' and the Kamanduo to help the 'human settlement' with the help of the Mi army stationed on the island. An amazing 'snake swallows elephant' trick was staged. Occupied the entire 'Shrimp B1 Island'.
Because the victory came so suddenly, it would take at least five or six months to complete the spoils of war after the capture of the island, just the construction of separations, the selection of new samurai, and the replenishment of the army with the 'giant spiders'.
If you add to this the imitation of a steamer. Build sharper weapons. Stronger armor. To completely stabilize the situation of the entire tribe, I am afraid that one year will be enough.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Lisheng returned to Stanford. While making up for nearly a semester of basic theories of biological research, he was planning a trip back to his hometown.
Not long ago, I applied for a doctoral defense and submitted a thesis co-authored with my supervisor to the university's 'degree committee'.
Although I don't know if Dr. Lu Dao's defense has passed, he has also completed a mental matter, and then the 'Wu' Dao cultivation has broken through to the Nine Witches, how can it not make his heart flutter.
After being happy for a while, a sudden palpitation made Zhang Lisheng's whole body stiffen.
Frowning, thinking of the pain he suffered when he broke through the witch worm because he didn't incarnate in time, he hurriedly drove the ghost face hidden in the mighty lake outside the window with his mind, and crawled into the bedroom with his virtual body, showing his body and returning to his normal form.
Looking at the slender limbs and feet bent on the ground, it is still close to two meters tall;
When the flesh hole on the back opens and closes, it will reveal the shape of a grimace, and it will turn into a terrifying giant spider with a hideous mouth, Zhang Lisheng touched its long hair, took off his clothes, and was about to recite an ancient witch spell in his mouth to calm his mood, and then transformed, when he suddenly heard the mobile phone ringing from the jacket pocket at the head of the bed.
As soon as the bell rang and his heart was discharged, the young man sat down on the bed in pain, gasped for a few breaths, climbed to the bow of the boat and took out his mobile phone, saw that it was an unfamiliar number and connected it casually.
"Good afternoon, is it Mr. Zhang Lisheng?" said a serious old voice with a slight Californian accent on the phone.
"I am, may I ask what's the matter?"
"Mr. Zhang, I am Anita April, the chair of the 'Degree Committee' of Stanford University, and I am making this call to formally inform you that your paper 'Study of the Island Ecology of 'Shrimp B1 Island' has been accepted by the Stanford 'Degree Committee'. ”
Although I don't know where Anita Eprell is sacred, but since he is the chairman of Stanford's 'Academic Degrees Committee', he must be a professor with outstanding scientific achievements, Zhang Lisheng paused for a moment, and said with some excitement: "Oh, Professor April, you mean, you mean..."
"Yes, you received your Ph.D. in Natural Sciences from Stanford University, congratulations. ”
In Western society, scholars with doctoral degrees are usually referred to as "academic titles" instead of Mr. and Ms. as a sign of respect, and many high-ranking political and business celebrities prefer to be called "doctors" rather than parliamentarians, ministers, or even speakers and prime ministers.
From a certain point of view, when a person has a doctorate degree in the West, it may not change the quality of life, but it is equivalent to being naturally labeled as an 'elite' by the mainstream society, and this label can still follow him all the time, and when others call him, it will automatically be attached to him.
Such a label seems to be of no importance to Zhang Lisheng, who has an astonishing amount of power, a value of more than 10 billion, and millions of believers, but in fact it is the key to whether he can justifiably stay in the 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Realm' in the future, and lead the Tudnan people to conquer the Hell Islands in the name of presiding over the biological laboratory to collect 'materials'.
"Doctor, am I a Ph.D., Xie Lu, Xie Lu, you told me the good news, Professor April, Xie Luxie. ”
"Nothing, this is what you deserve Dr. Zhang, although you are a little lacking in the breadth of knowledge of biology, but compared to your courageous scientific spirit and outstanding dedication to the field of biology, we agree that this little regret is nothing.
Congratulations again. Doctor, see you again. ”
"See you again, Professor. Zhang Lisheng hung up the phone, precipitated his emotions, and muttered to himself, "Today is a good day, it's really a double happiness..."
After that, he slowly closed his eyes and began to exhale only one bite after another, not exhaling. It took more than half an hour to finally expel all the air from the body. The entire ribcage was deeply invaginated.
At this time, Zhang Lisheng opened his eyes, sketched an image of a demon god in his mind according to the secret method of cultivation, and took a sharp breath towards the huge spider in front of him.
As the young man inhaled, the space around Ghost Face suddenly distorted. Immediately afterward, a colorless smoke drifted out from under the long hairs of the witch worm. got into Zhang Lisheng's mouth and nose.
I feel that the test is coming. According to the experience of the future incarnation, the young man waited for the unbearable pain to rise from his heart, but he did not expect that this time he did not feel uncomfortable. But it suddenly went dark in front of me, and then I saw a lightning bolt piercing the sky, and with countless meteorites burning with raging fire, it fell to the ground in the heavy rain.
The meteorite hit the ground, forming an apocalyptic situation in which the earth shook and the mountains shook, volcanoes erupted, and the ocean overturned, and at this moment, a black-haired giant snake suddenly rose into the sky in the sky.
As soon as these images came to life in the young man's mind, a black mist suddenly condensed in the void behind him automatically outlined a monster with incomplete facial features, black and white pupils, a pale expression, decayed skin, and black hair like weeds.
After the monster image appeared behind Zhang Lisheng, the young man unconsciously breathed, and easily turned the huge witch insect lying in front of him into a colorless mist that filled the air, and sucked it into his stomach.
In this way, the inexplicable transformation was completed, Zhang Lisheng's eyes lit up, and he returned to normal vision, and the image of the human head and snake body behind him, which had obviously become more dilapidated, dissipated and disappeared without a trace.
Naked and staring blankly at the place where the witch worm disappeared, Zhang Lisheng stood for a while before he completely came back to his senses, feeling that the witch power in his flesh and blood was deep and restrained, and there was no longer the boiling restlessness just now, and he only felt that he couldn't touch everything.
He sat on the bed with a wry smile and said to himself: "Is it that I have just turned into a ghost, I used to faint, wake up and toss for a few hours, but now it is completed in two or three minutes, is it by mistake to find a shortcut, or go crazy..."
Thinking of 'going mad', Zhang Lisheng felt a pang in his heart, and tried to use the power of the ghost-faced giant spider to transform his body, and the shape moved at will, and immediately his chest and back cracked and long mouths, and the flesh and blood churned into two lifelike relief grimaces.
At the same time, six eyes appeared on both sides of the skull and the back of the head, the limbs became slender like steel thorns, the long hair that swayed without wind covered the body, and eight Chinese hieroglyphs also appeared in my mind, "chasing the wind and catching the shadow, taking the soul."
The abnormal divine powers behind the transformation of the ghost face have appeared, which undoubtedly shows that Zhang Lisheng has not gone mad at all.
"What the hell, is it really my super lucky day today...", the young man didn't think much about it, he comforted himself by talking to himself, went to the bedside table, opened the drawer, picked up a picture of a clown, and pasted it on his forehead.
Then he went into the bathroom and took a shower, looked at his much haggard face in the mirror, sighed, changed into clean clothes, pushed the door and walked out of the bedroom. (To be continued......)
PS: Ask for a ticket first, and then answer saldin's big question.
There are about 450,000 people in Samru, 'Bonlunga', and 'Aruya', and the number of 'Kamando' is close to 200,000 more than their combined, and there are elite warriors with 'Giant Spiders', even if there are fewer guardian spirits, their overall strength is not bad.
Another point is that 'Samru', 'Fulunga', and 'Aruya' are three tribes after all, just like Shu and Wu in the Three Kingdoms
As for the king of the distant mountains swallowing Li Sheng, he stopped attacking because the old spirits of the 'people and spirits, the old spirits of ghosts and spirits' are also more cunning and less heroic, and when he saw that Li Sheng's classmates inexplicably changed their shapes, they escaped from their own grasp, and they were arrogantly shouting and drinking on the battlefield, so the king of the distant mountains chose to retreat, and even escaped with the tribe after the most luke.
In the end, when the tribal alliance attacked the 'human gathering place', the Camandor people came to take advantage of the fire to rob, and the alliance spirit chose to back down because the balance of power had been formed under the strength of the three parties on the island, and this kind of 'Camandor' and 'Tudnan' could be easily broken, but the tribal alliance could not.
Because people are a head thinking about problems, and they can do whatever they want when their heads are hot, while the tribal alliance is seven or eight big heads, dozens of small heads think about problems, and they are forced by others, as long as it is not a desperate situation, he can only give in.
That's basically what it means, and I hope to be greatly satisfied.
