Chapter 69: Exploring the Secret of the Magic Core
"The most important thing is - I survived!"
"I survived!!"
The joy of survival was so strong and touching that Zhenjin subconsciously repeated this sentence. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test
There was a time when Zhen Jin thought he was dead!
Since Zhen Jin regained consciousness, he has had this kind of near-death experience several times. The joy after each recovery moved his whole body and mind. But this time it was especially intense, as if all his cells were cheering for joy.
Huh, huh...
Zhen Jin's heavy breathing gradually calmed down.
The pain from the wound on the shoulder blade kept coming.
The joy and happiness then faded away. The young man gritted his teeth, tore open the hem of his shirt, took out the strip of cloth, and bandaged it.
The cloth strip used as a bandage was placed on the wound, and red blood stains immediately appeared.
Zhen Jin looped the cloth strip around his armpits, bit one end of the cloth strip with his teeth, and then tied it tightly with his hands.
A sharp pain made his eyes darken.
The young man gasped and endured it for a few seconds before the pain subsided slightly.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and kept breathing.
After a long while, his eyes regained focus.
The tail standing straight in front of his eyes caught his eye.
This scorpion tail is like gold, shining with metallic luster.
Having fought against the scorpion before, Zhen Jin had suffered enough from this scorpion tail. But now this scorpion tail is his own.
What a wonderful feeling.
As soon as the thought of acupuncture came to mind, the scorpion tail stood straight and motionless, like a bamboo pole.
As the needle gold thought moved again, the scorpion tail bent into an S shape, and then continued to rise and fall like a wave.
Use your fingers like an arm!
"Although this is my first time growing a tail, it feels like this scorpion tail was originally a part of my body."
Zhen Jin reached out and touched the scorpion's tail again.
The cold and hard touch then reached his heart.
"But Scorpio didn't feel touched."
Zhen Jin lowered his head and looked at his chest.
There is a scorpion shell on his chest. The scorpion shell seems to be a layer of natural armor, tightly protecting his body and making it extremely close to his body.
Zhen Jin touched the scorpion shell on his chest and felt cold and hard, exactly the same as touching the scorpion tail.
"Similarly, there is no feeling of being touched on the scorpion shell on the chest."
"But before, when the scorpion shell protected me against the spear scorpion's sting, I felt the obvious impact force. In other words, it was not that there was no touch. It was just that the gentle touch like mine was very light and could not make me
Feel it.”
People have many kinds of feelings.
The main senses are vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
Most beasts have shells, fur, feathers, etc. Compared with these, the human body has sparse hair and delicate skin, so the human body's own defense is very weak.
But at the same time, human skin and the fine hairs on the body surface give people a relatively keen sense of touch. Sometimes, people will quickly detect mosquitoes after they land.
The scorpion shell is weaker than humans in terms of touch. However, the defensive capabilities brought by the scorpion shell are completely unmatched by the human body.
"It was the scorpion shell that saved my life!"
Without the scorpion shell, his entire body would have been pierced by the scorpion's tail, which is known as the Spear Scorpion.
Zhen Jin tried to look inside again.
Very smooth!
In other words, without any hindrance, he saw the magic crystal in his heart again.
The magic crystal kept flashing with blood and continued to be consumed, silently supporting the changes in the needle gold at this moment.
Zhen Jin's eyes flashed, trying to control the magic crystal to stop the current consumption.
The next moment, the brilliance of the magic crystal in his heart weakened rapidly, and stopped completely before he could take a breath.
Without the support of this mysterious crystal core, the golden scorpion shell and tail quickly turned black and then carbonized. Almost in the blink of an eye, the mutated tissues and organs turned into carbon ash and fell to the ground.
Immediately, a feeling of weakness emerged from Zhen Jin's heart.
Zhenjin is already very familiar with this feeling.
Before, it was there after his hands mutated into bear claws, it was still there after the mutation on both arms was cancelled, and it was still there when he took the emetic potion.
Zhen Jin lowered his head and looked at his chest.
The original scorpion armor had disappeared without a trace, and what was displayed in front of him was his intact and toned chest muscles.
Of course, the chest muscles are not very big.
"I'm only sixteen years old and still developing."
Zhen Jin inspected it and didn't notice any bad changes in his chest.
After that, he reached out and touched his butt.
The pants that wrapped around his buttocks had a hole in them.
It was at that time that the scorpion tail grew and was punctured.
Zhen Jin touched his tailbone.
Same as before, normal.
Zhen Jin breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
He began to focus on the demon core in his heart again.
He found that the more he focused his attention on this mysterious and wonderful magic core, the clearer he could perceive the situation of this magic core.
When this perception became clear to a certain extent, Zhenjin completely detected the remaining energy in the magic core.
"For the change of the previous level, if the duration of each change is the same... I can probably change it twice more." Naturally, Zhenjin calculated the result. Moreover, his intuition told him that the calculated result was very good. correct.
"After the mutation, I will become very powerful."
"But the number of such mutations is limited. It doesn't allow me to mutate endlessly."
"The essential reason is that the energy in the magic core is limited."
Zhen Jin's eyes sparkled with thought.
"It's not just about this restriction."
"There are other limitations - I can only transform into a scorpion shell and a scorpion tail."
The large pincer-like chelicerae of the Gun Scorpion cannot be transformed.
"Wait! This is?" Zhen Jin's perception deepened again, and he made a new discovery.
A flash of joy flashed across the young man's face.
Because he discovered that he could not only change the body parts of a gun scorpion, but also he could change into a monkey-tailed brown bear again!
But like the restrictions of the Gun Scorpion, he can only transform into bear claws and bear arms, but cannot mutate into other organs of the monkey tail and brown bear.
"In addition to the monkey-tailed brown bear, I can also transform into a fire poisonous bee?!"
Discovered one after another.
Along with the thought of Zhenjin, the magic core in his heart was quickly activated by him.
The changes of Gun Scorpion, Monkey Tail Brown Bear, and Zhen Jin are all clear. Other mutations need to be tried and experienced one by one.
This little energy cannot be saved.
The mutation of the Fire Venomous Bee occurred immediately!
Zhen Jin looked at the back of his hand.
The back of his hand soon turned black and yellow, and was covered with a layer of down.
This is the down of a fire venomous bee, similar to the stripes of a zebra, except it is black and yellow.
"I can cover all the skin of my body with this layer of fluff. But if I do this, the consumption will be greater than before."
Zhenjin immediately stopped stimulating the inner demon core, and a scene similar to the previous one happened again.
The villi of the Fire Venomous Bee quickly turned gray and then turned into a pile of finely divided carbon powder.
Zhen Jin gently shook the back of his hand to shake off the layer of toner, revealing the same normal skin as before.
"Gun Scorpion, Monkey Tail Brown Bear, Fire Venomous Bee... I can also transform into a goat."
It's just that this goat mutation can only transform Zhenjin's meat into mutton.
Compared with the previous mutations, the value is very low.
I still tried acupuncture a little bit.
"The transformed mutton does not contain the previous frost chaos magic. But this is normal. The reason why those goats contain it is because they ate those green grasses."
Stop the demonic core in your heart, and the mutton part that was converted into it will quickly turn back into normal human flesh.
"If I dig out the mutton part that I created with a dagger, can it be used as food?"
"I eat myself?"
Zhen Jin thought again and shook his head slightly.
Previous practice has proven that once the mutated parts are separated from the support of magic core energy, they will quickly fade into ashes and turn into a pile of carbon ash.
Therefore, eating your own plan will not succeed.
When Zhenjin extended his induction to the limit, he discovered that he had two other mutations.
One is moss.
The other is the meat of the Acid Green Lizard.
"This moss?" Zhen Jin looked at the back of his hand after the change, and immediately felt that it looked familiar.
He recognized it with the next breath.
"Isn't this the moss that poisoned me?"
Starting from the monkey-tailed brown bear's cave, he and Zidi explored the road together. In the process, his skin was poisoned because it scratched the moss.
Zidi tried to detoxify, but could only relieve the poison but could not cure it. Finally, the two of them found the source of the poisoning and used the moss as a material to make medicine, which allowed the acupuncture to be completely eradicated.
"Let's call it green moss."
Zhen Jin remembered that after being poisoned, green spots grew on his face. These spots were round and small, but he felt nothing strange about them.
The meat of the last acidic green lizard, Needle Gold, has also changed a bit.
Basically the same as mutton, its practical value is not high.
After some exploration, Zhenjin's understanding of the demonic core in his heart deepened a lot.
"In this way, after the magic core absorbs external life, the energy transformed and stored in the magic core is universal for any mutated form."
"But why, I can change these, but I can't change the blue-haired evil wolf, the python vine, the scaly-horned black panther, and the blade spider?"
After thinking about it for a while, Zhen Jin came up with his own answer.
"The Gun Scorpion...is it because I activated the magic core and absorbed all its life?"
"Monkey Tail Brown Bear...is it because I received a large amount of blood infusion when I was receiving treatment from Zidi?"
"I eat a lot of goat meat. Likewise, lizard meat. The main food these days is lizard meat."
"However, I also ate snake meat, flying squirrel meat, and other small bugs such as spiders and scorpions. Maybe I ate too little of these foods."
As for the Fire Venomous Bee?
"I have been poisoned. There was so much fire poison in my body that I was on the verge of death."
"Toxins and meat have both entered my body. From this perspective, there is no difference between the two."
"So, they were all quietly absorbed by the magic core."
"As for other magical beasts, although I have encountered them, I have never had close contact with them. This is the case with blue-haired evil wolves, giant lava turtles, python vines, etc."
Thinking of this, Zhen Jin got another very valuable speculation result.
"At present, it seems that the objects absorbed and transformed by the magic core are all living bodies."
"Pure magic power cannot be absorbed by the magic core."
Zhenjin had been poisoned by "cold poison" and had a large amount of chaotic frost magic power in his body. However, these magic powers were not absorbed and transformed by the magic core, otherwise he would not have been poisoned.
"So, the function of the magic core in my heart is probably to forcefully absorb and transform life to form a special mysterious magic energy. Once this kind of magic energy is activated, it can produce a certain degree of mutation in the human body, transforming it into something different from what was previously
