Monster crystal cores have different qualities, which is common sense to all adventurers in Orario.
Of course, this is easy to understand. The strength of the ordinary mobs in LV.1 and the floor master in LV.1 must be different. So even if the crystal cores exploded are both LV.1 level, their quality is also good.
The difference between bad and bad.
For the heretics, a high-quality monster crystal core not only provides more energy at one time, but also has a certain probability of inheriting the original talent and skills of the crystal core owner, and even directly evolving into a higher race.
"Dragon Girl - Wei Ni" was only half a month old, and she hadn't had time to learn a lot of common sense. Naturally, she didn't know the preciousness of this [Anphispina's core crystal]. She just instinctively felt that this large crystal was more valuable than those.
The monster crystals attracted her even more.
"Reed...Gurus...Rei...Mary..."
"Weini" held the crystal in both hands and kept repeating the names of several heretics.
"They have their own way of upgrading." Luo Jie patted "Weini" on the head and gave her an encouraging look.
Just like a newborn bird will regard the first creature it sees as its mother, "Winnie" has almost blind trust in Luo Jie, who saved her from monsters and adventurers, and she opened her mouth without hesitation.
With his mouth, he bit down on the [Amphispina's Core Crystal].
After a crunching sound like chewing ice cubes, the whole crystal core the size of a human head was eaten up bit by bit.
"Winnie, how do you feel?"
Luo Jie knelt down and carefully observed "Weini"'s petite body.
He didn't know how the heretics were upgraded, but he had heard from chatting with "Lizardman-Reed" and others that the upgrading of the heretics was usually accompanied by accelerated physical maturity and physical growth.
In other words, the appearance of the heretic depends on his rank, not his age.
This also explains why even though they are almost the same age, the LV.2 "Mermaid-Mary" looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, while the LV.5 "Songbird-Rei" looks like a young girl in her twenties.
woman.
"Brother...it hurts."
"Weini" frowned, folded her arms around her shoulders, and dug her nails deeply into her skin.
Suddenly, she let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground, rolling in pain.
"what happened?"
"Reed" and others who were chewing crystal cores in the warehouse rushed out after hearing the sound, and anxiously stepped forward to hold down "Vini" to prevent her from causing secondary damage while rolling.
"I don't know either. I just let her eat a high-grade crystal core, and that's it."
"High-grade crystal core? How high?"
"LV.5, the crystal core of the lonely king of the maze "Two-Headed Water Dragon Amphispina"." Luo Jie frowned and looked at "Lizard Man-Reed" and said: "I remember you said, heretic
There are no taboos on eating monster crystal cores, the only difference is the upgrade speed."
"Lizardman-Reed" nodded and said: "That's true. Even the crystal core of the Labyrinth Solitary King shouldn't have such a reaction."
"Could it be because...the human form cannot shed its skin?"
The words "Shilong - Ancient Rus" gave Luo Jie an instant flash of enlightenment.
"Quick, go to the bathroom! No, it's too late! Go back to the warehouse!"
Luo Jie picked up the sweat-soaked "Weini" and rushed into the warehouse. With one hand, he used the [Water Gathering Technique] to condense a ball of water, and with the other hand, he pulled out the [Netherworld Flower Burial], lit a flame and pierced it.
Tsk!
In the steaming white mist, a bucket of hot water poured down on her head, and "Weini" lying on the ground regained her original bluish-white skin.
"Clothes!" "Singing Bird-Rei" was very experienced. She tore open the dress of "Winnie" and said to several others at the same time: "Reed, Gros, you two go out and watch the door! Mary,
Captain Night Dire, you two stay here just in case!"
As she spoke, cracks like broken porcelain began to appear on "Weini's" smooth skin.
With a crisp sound of bones stretching, the skin full of cracks collapsed instantly, and "Weini"'s body straightened up, growing from the original appearance of a seven or eight-year-old girl to an immature girl of eleven or twelve years old.
However, this rapid growth has not stopped yet. In just a few breaths, fine cracks once again covered the blue-white skin.
Molt... grow... molt again... grow again...
After four repetitions, "Weini"'s skin finally stopped showing new cracks, and her body grew to look like a girl of eighteen or nineteen.
But different from her original humanoid form, now she has many characteristics of dragon monsters on her body. There are two small and cute dragon horns on her head, a pair of dragon wings growing from the shoulder blades on her back, and a pair of dragon wings extending from the end of her tail vertebrae.
The slender dragon tail.
This appearance reminded Luo Jie subconsciously of the World Wave SS "White Dragon Princess Makina" that he personally killed in the world of "Goblin Slayer".
Just a bit younger.
Of course, according to the growth characteristics of the Heretic, if "Vini" can reach LV.7 or above, it should be 90% similar to "White Dragon Princess".
"Winnie?"
Seeing "Winnie" on the ground, she let out a low groan, and "Singing Bird-Lei" hurriedly stepped forward to try to help her up, but unexpectedly a cold light flashed through her shoulder, and a sharp claw penetrated her shoulder with five transparent blood holes.
Hole.
"No, Wei Ni... she's out of control!"
"Singing Bird-Rei" gritted her teeth and turned over to avoid "Vinnie"'s follow-up attack. She picked up "Mermaid-Mary" who was still chewing the crystal core with one arm and ran out of the warehouse.
"What happened!"
"Lizardman Reed" and "Stone Dragon Groos" heard the sound and rushed into the warehouse. When they saw the dragon girl with red eyes who was frantically attacking "Songbird Rey", they couldn't help but froze at the same time, and then they each pulled out their weapons.
The weapon blocked "Rei" and "Mari" behind them.
Seeing more and more people in the warehouse, "Winnie" suddenly fluttered its wings, broke through the ceiling of the warehouse and rushed into the sky.
"Oops! We must not let her escape!"
This is the city of Orario. If "Winnie" in monster form is discovered, it will inevitably lead to a collective encirclement and suppression by members of the big family members such as "Loki" or "Freya". Even "Lucoa"
Even if all the members of the family are mobilized, it may not be possible to save "Winnie"'s life.
If it gets more serious, even the existence of heretics may be exposed.
Luo Jie threw out [Flying Sword Lucifer] without any hesitation, accelerated himself to the limit with "Wind Spirit Speed", and almost instantly caught up with "Winnie", his body flew forward and grabbed hold of her tightly.
Her wings rolled and fell while a [Teleport Talisman] prepared in advance was activated in her hand.
boom!
The flash of the magic circle lit up in the smoke and dust on the ground. When the Hestia family members from the "House of Fire" arrived, they only saw a collapsed wall, but the perpetrator was nowhere to be seen.
"That big-breasted, narrow-eyed person is too deceptive!"
??I originally wanted to take a day off today, but suddenly I saw the 100,000 reward from a reader of "Signature Pens Who Like to Collect Books", and my conscience ached... So, I'll just treat these today as a taste, and I'll definitely write more tomorrow.
