Chapter 13: Pupation
After becoming the chief servant, Gong Hao's work became easier.
At the end of the third month, the Liberty sent an extra servant to take over Gong Hao's work in Area 13, which allowed Gong Hao to no longer have to fix himself in Area 13 every day.
Still, as always, he continued to help all the servants every day, helping others, always with a grin.
No one could see the monstrous hatred hidden behind the blonde boy's smile.
These days, Gong Hao has used his fighting spirit more than once to find the so-called spirit seed in his body.
But strange to say, he was never able to feel anything strange in his body.
It seems that this little thing is very good at concealment, and even Dou Qi can't even detect its existence.
But then again, in the process of searching for spirit seeds with Dou Qi, Gong Hao discovered another role of Dou Qi - inner vision.
Following the release and convergence of internal qi, Gong Hao has experienced the use of three ways of fighting qi: elemental induction, dark concealment and internal vision. To his wonder, shouldn't elemental sensing be a magician's talent, why was he able to sense it when he used his fighting energy?
He vaguely felt that due to the lack of guidance, his samurai cultivation path was probably on the path that no one had ever walked before.
A samurai path carved out entirely by himself.
The future of this road is uncertain, the road is quite bumpy, and no one knows what the consequences will be if it continues, but he has no choice.
Following the internal view, the sixth way of using the fighting spirit that Gong Hao discovered was the rapid conversion of the external release and convergence of the fighting spirit. He found that through this conversion, he first used the method of exerting fighting qi to concentrate on his feet to generate great kinetic energy, and then quickly restrained the air flow, which could launch himself like a cannonball, producing an instantaneous acceleration effect.
If you apply your fighting energy to your arms at this time, you can complete a ferocious assault assassination. Gong Hao named it Spike.
The use of fighting spirit is the foundation of all samurai skills. As Gong Hao mastered more and more of the use of Dou Qi, he began to realize that the core of the so-called martial arts was an external manifestation of the use of Dou Qi.
All the use of Dou Qi is actually in the service of these martial arts. The more abundant the fighting spirit, the more mastery and proficiency the use of the fighting spirit, the stronger the effect of the martial arts.
At present, Gong Hao can only use the spike once, and then he will be exhausted because the air flow is running too fast and the consumption is too dramatic, but as time increases, after gradually getting used to it, he is confident that he can do repeated thrusts.
Since he has also comprehended some dark concealment abilities, if used in conjunction with the Thrust to assassinate, it will definitely have an amazing effect.
However, Gong Hao's main energy now is still used to inquire about the spirit seed in his body.
He had looked through almost all of the library's collections and records, but unfortunately there were no records of this.
It can be seen that those truly top-notch alchemy techniques are not placed in the library.
Unable to find a record of the spirit seed, and unable to sense its existence with his fighting spirit, Gong Hao could only wait for the opportunity.
During this time, Gong Hao continued to work hard, no matter what, as long as he lived, there was always a chance. And if he wants to live, he must make Andrew think that the living Xiu Yiglaire is more valuable than the spirit seed that was taken out by disemboweling and disembowelment after death, so that he will continue to let Gong Hao stay here.
Gong Hao has the opportunity to relieve his own crisis.
In order to do this, you have to contribute as much as possible.
Gong Hao delved into alchemy almost frantically. There are a total of sixty material areas, and he can be seen busy almost everywhere.
He researched all the ways to increase production, painstakingly cultivated and tapped the potential value of each demon plant, demon worm and demon beast, became familiar with their habits, and understood their habits.
Half a year passed in a flash, and with Gong Hao's efforts, several endangered demonic beasts or demonic plants were successfully cultivated by him. The efficiency of the work in each region has been significantly improved, and the material supply capacity has also been greatly enhanced.
Even Andrew has repeatedly praised: "This kid is simply a genius, and he has done much more here than an apprentice." ”
Before Gong Hao's surplus value was squeezed out, he didn't plan to take out the spirit seed. As Gong Hao had predicted, the spirit seed could be taken out at any time, but it was indeed rare for such a good servant to be obtained.
————————————
A few drops of the spotted poisonous python's saliva dripped in the center of the flower disc, and the hideous ghost face showed a ray of tenderness.
After becoming the chief servant, the Lothua became the only species that Gong Hao took care of, because it needed the saliva of the spotted python to survive. And this poisonous python is currently only Gong Hao can successfully obtain saliva.
Lot, is the name given by Gong Hao to this unknown species, in honor of its discoverer, Lancelot. The fart was quite well shot, and the expression on Lancelot's face was quite wonderful when he learned that Huy Gler had named a species after himself.
Gong Hao said: "I just want future generations to know that there was once a great samurai who dedicated twenty years of his precious time to the rise of the empire. All the pinnacle samurai are leaving their mark on this era in their own way, but you, my lord, are in obscurity. It's not fair to adults. I'm just a lowly servant, incapable of doing anything for adults. But at least I can breed a species that you have found for adults, and if I am lucky enough to spread it, then at least let the name of the adult leave some impression on future generations as it spreads. When people talk about why it's called Lott Flower in the future, people will say that there was once a sky warrior who buried himself on a desert island for the sake of the Empire, and that was a real... Great samurai. ”
Lancelot didn't say anything at the time.
However, he told Gong Hao some matters and tips that need to be paid attention to when using Dou Qi, which made Gong Hao finally avoid many detours in the process of self-exploration.
Many times, to move a person's heart, you only need to prescribe the right medicine, perhaps what Lancelot hopes most in his life is that he can leave here, return to the human world, and conquer people's hearts with outstanding martial arts, right?
Gong Hao felt that on this purgatory island, in addition to the servants, the only one who still had some conscience might be Lancelot.
The reason why he chose to live by the lake may be because he could not accept the cruelty of Pierre, who used every teenager as an experiment and carried out all kinds of cruel experiments, but he could not stop it because of his fate.
Therefore, if Gong Hao wants to continue his days on Purgatory Island, hope is likely to lie in Lancelot, and it is very important to handle the relationship with him well.
Of course, Gong Hao knew very well that Lancelot could not fight against the empire for himself no matter what, but this did not prevent him from taking care of himself in normal times. With his care, you can make your future plans smoother.
And the reason why he said such a thing was not only to make Lancelot happy and teach him, but most importantly, to arouse the longing buried in his heart.
As a Sky Warrior, Lancelot could not be willing to bury a desert island like this for the rest of his life.
At this stage, Lancelot's presence is of great benefit to him, not only through the good relationship he has established with Andrew to make him more fearful when he decides to attack him, but also through him to learn more vindictiveness, and even through him to do what he wants to do but can't do. But at the very end, Lancelot's presence can be a great obstacle - his presence is itself part of the castle's defenses.
So not only to build a good relationship with Lancelot, but also to help Lancelot get out of here when necessary.
This series of plans was buried deep in Gong Hao's heart, and he could only remind himself every day to act carefully, and be cautious and cautious.
After dripping saliva, the "Lott flower" is about to bloom beautifully.
Gong Hao took a few steps back, looked at Hua and said to himself, "What the hell are you? What is your use? You know that Purgatory Island never takes in useless lives. ”
Lott didn't answer him, but the flower plate hung down slightly.
Is it shyness?
Gong Hao was a little curious, took a few steps forward, and looked at the flower's reaction curiously. It's strange, I've never seen it like this before.
Rare own words give it a serious irritation?
Ever since he had successfully cultivated the Bloody Orchid, Gong Hao had known that he must not treat the Demon Plant as an ordinary plant. Unlike Warcraft, Warcraft has the ability to think simply, and top-level Warcraft can even communicate with humans, but Demon Plants have a more powerful spirituality. Although they can't speak, they are able to discern various emotions, behaviors, and know what is good for them and what is bad for them.
Why are graves always desolate, withered and withered? is because even plants don't like dead places.
The "Lott Flower" in front of him seemed to be stimulated by Gong Hao's words, and the low-hanging flower plate looked a little listless.
Gong Hao stepped forward and tried to comfort it by touching the petals, but the next moment, he was shocked to find that the ghost face on the flower plate had disappeared.
Rubbing his eyes, Gong Hao clearly saw that not only did the ghost face on the flower plate disappear, but in fact, all the branches and leaves of the Lott flower suddenly recovered, all of them curled up back into the soil, and even the flower plate began to wither.
All the parts exposed to the soil have shrunk into the soil, as if the plant has been rewound from breaking the ground to sprouting, to growing and ripening, and finally to the scene of ripening and falling, Gong Hao witnessed a reversal of the development process of life.
He didn't understand what was happening, and in his astonishment, all that was left of the pot was bare dirt.
"What the hell is going on?" Gong Hao couldn't figure out. He walked briskly forward, picking up the dirt from the flowerpots.
Inside the soil, a snow-colored chrysalis was lying there quietly, emitting a white and crystal light.
"Oh my God!"
Gong Hao finally understood.
It's not a plant at all, it's a monster!
Just like Cordyceps sinensis, there are also some strange magical beasts in the Wind Continent, which appear in the form of plants in their juvenile state. This type of monster is very peculiar, they are born as magic plants, but they will transform into monsters in the later stage.
They are most vulnerable during their vegetative state, and any weak creature can inflict lethal damage on them.
So during this time, they need some protection.
For example, first disguise yourself as a fierce ghost face flower, and then be nourished and personally guarded by high-level magical beasts.
But even then, they are vulnerable.
Because most of the Warcraft with this form are very powerful Warcraft hatchlings. As they grow, they will always attract the coveting of some powerful beings. Whether it's for the benefit of eating them, or simply to eliminate a potential threat, there are a variety of reasons.
Alchemists call this the dormant period of the beast, also known as the juvenile stage or the death stage. Many powerful demonic beasts died in this situation. It is believed that this is a biological law specially formulated by the gods to balance the strong and the weak.
The laws of biology allow powerful magical beasts to experience hardships and ups and downs during their growth, and through this ordeal, the number of powerful magical beasts is limited.
According to the alchemist's discovery, the dormant period of the demonic beasts is also divided into multiple stages, some of the demonic beasts will immediately grow into mature demonic beasts after experiencing the state of vegetative, but some will also go through some other states. The longer the dormant period of the beast, the more powerful it will be when it grows.
For example, now, it seems that this monster has ended its vegetative state and entered the pupation state, as if it has turned into a butterfly.
I wonder if it will take shape immediately after the pupation state, or if there will be a new stage?
Gong Hao never dreamed that he would encounter such a strange species, the so-called Lott Flower is simply a joke, this is basically a juvenile of a top-level demonic beast that will become extremely powerful when it becomes an adult, no wonder its spiritual reactions and emotional manifestations are so clear and obvious.
If it had been before, Gong Hao might have considered reporting the matter to Andrew, but now he wouldn't do it.
What about powerful monsters? The more powerful the better, and it's better to turn this damn castle upside down.
Determined, he gently stroked the snow-white chrysalis a few times: "I know that you are still very weak now. Maybe you're scared, maybe you're supposed to pupate, but you've never been dare. But rest assured, I'll protect you until you really grow. I won't let anyone know you exist. ”
The snow-white chrysalis shook a few times.
Gong Hao covered the soil again.
It looks like this chrysalis is going to stay in the soil for a while longer.
Now the only question is, how can he explain the disappearance of the lott flower?
While he was thinking, Fink suddenly ran in and shouted, "Huey, it's not good, something happened!"
