Chapter 288: The Law of the Jungle (two in one chapter)
Liu Yu had a smile on her face, looked at the little guy in her palm and said softly.
Yan Luo touched his body, and felt a slippery, icy, and sticky feeling.
The snake itself is a cold-blooded animal, so it is not surprising that it is cold. As for the snake, it is a little sticky because there is still a lot of liquid in the eggs of spiritual beasts on its body.
"Sizzle"
As if she understood Liu Yu's words, Xiaoqing spit out the snake letter and made a hissing sound.
It also rubs its head against the outstretched palm, conveying a happy and close mood.
"Heh~he"
"Okay, let's go, Xiaoqing."
Liu Yu smiled softly, stretched out his fingers to tease for a while, and said.
After saying that, he bent down and put it on the ground.
"Sizzle"
After Xiaoqing landed, she nodded her head in a humane manner, then twisted her body and swam towards the broken eggshell after her birth.
"Click"
It first held a smaller piece of eggshell in its mouth, chewed it twice, and then swallowed it.
After eating a few pieces of small eggshells, Xiaoqing seemed to find them particularly delicious, so she ate them happily.
It opened its mouth almost 180 degrees, swallowed an eggshell that was only slightly smaller than its head, and then chewed it slowly.
For a while, the sound of clicking in the spirit beast room was endless.
Unlike other snakes, the Yinming Spirit Snake has other teeth besides its poisonous fangs, so it can chew food easily.
The eggshells of spirit beast eggs contain a lot of nutrients and can be easily digested by even newborn babies, so many monsters and beasts will eat the eggshells after they are born.
"Its spirituality seems to be much higher than that of ordinary monsters."
"And the appearance is so different from the traditional Yinming Spirit Snake. Could it be that it has mutated?"
"Or is it a return to the ancestors?"
After rinsing her hands with clean water, Liu Yu crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Qing who was eating and lost in thought.
Mutations are also divided into benign and malignant. Benign mutations can greatly enhance the strength of a monster, making its physical strength or innate spells much stronger than those of the same kind that have not been mutated.
On the contrary, malignant mutation will cause the monster's strength to deteriorate, such as the original fangs and claws degenerating, the body size shrinking and the physical strength weakening, and the original talent spells disappearing, which is not impossible.
"The mutation is more reflected in the demon body or spells."
"Just looking at Xiaoqing's spiritual appearance, it doesn't seem like a mutation, but more like... atavism?"
Thinking of this possibility, Liu Yu's eyes lit up.
The ancient Han Chi is a monster beast that can rival the powerful ones in the Void Refining Stage. If the atavism happens to Xiao Qing, the Han Chi bloodline in the body will become richer, and the upper limit of growth will undoubtedly be increased a lot.
In this way, the value of training will be greatly improved.
Xiaoqing ate very fast, and soon all the eggshells of the spirit animal egg she was born were absorbed into her body.
But the miraculous thing is that although the little guy is now small, his belly has not grown at all after eating so much, and it remains the same as before.
"Sizzle"
After eating all the eggshells, Xiaoqing was still not satisfied. She looked at the other spirit beast egg, twisted her head and looked at Liu Yu, spitting out the snake letter to convey the idea of eating.
Through the master-servant contract, Liu Yu clearly understood its thoughts and nodded slightly to convey his affirmative thoughts.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
Many monsters in the world have the habit of devouring dead eggs, even those born by themselves.
In addition to eating their own eggshells, many newly born little beasts will also eat their dead of the same kind!
"Sizzle"
Seeing this, Xiao Qing twisted her body happily and swam towards another spirit beast egg.
After getting close, he opened the snake's mouth 180 degrees and bit the gray-black spirit beast egg with an extremely exaggerated amplitude.
"Puff" "Click"
With one bite, half of the shell of the spirit animal egg was bitten off, and yellow mucus flowed out.
There was also a small snake slightly smaller than Xiao Qing, with black skin and blue lines.
Compared with Xiaoqing, it looks very authentic and very much like its mother.
But it hasn't even opened its eyes, it has lost the breath of life forever, its essence has also dissipated, and it is impossible to hatch.
Xiaoqing took the little snake out, then without hesitation opened the snake's mouth 180 degrees and slowly swallowed it from beginning to end.
Its snake mouth bulged and bulged, and as time passed, the small black snake was slowly swallowed into its belly.
Eating this time seemed more difficult, and it was not until half a quarter of an hour later that Xiaoqing swallowed it all.
At this time, its belly was obviously bulging, as if a balloon had been stuffed into it.
"Sizzle"
Xiaoqing looked at the remaining eggshells and nutrient solution. She no longer had the desire to eat, and conveyed to Liu Yu that she wanted to rest.
As if he had taken a powerful tonic, Xiaoqing's aura fluctuated for a while after swallowing most of the essence of another spirit beast egg. The aura that had reached the peak of the first-order low-grade had a faint tendency to rise again.
"good."
Liu Yu felt the fluctuation of Xiaoqing's breath and praised it, then let it rest.
For the larvae of monster beasts, swallowing the eggs of the same kind of spirit beasts is indeed a great supplement. It can even slightly strengthen the origin, which will have indescribable benefits in the future.
But there were signs of advancement right after he was born. Obviously, all the credit cannot be attributed to this. Most of it may be Xiaoqing's own fault.
Originally, I wanted to test its innate spells and various qualities, but since Xiao Qing now wants to advance through sleeping, there is no rush.
Anyway, the days ahead are still very long.
A water ball technique was used to clean Xiaoqing's body and let him sleep on the nest. Liu Yu turned around and left the spirit beast room.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Yu sent a transmission note to Wu Chang, asking him to purchase some fresh monster flesh and blood.
Although you can continue to consume spirit feeding pills to grow, this will undoubtedly be detrimental to the future development of the spirit beast. It only has realm but no blood.
A better method would be to mix Feeding Pills with blood food and feed them together. It can not only quickly improve the level, but also have enough blood to be useful in the future.
I recently learned this knowledge from the Secret Record of Beast Control.
After thinking for a while, Liu Yu turned around and came to the practice room.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, touching the green light spots, I entered the fairy palace with a thought.
From the wooden house on the left where the seeds of spiritual herbs and elixirs are stored, find the seeds of the spiritual herbs used to refine the spiritual herbs and plant them in the black spiritual field.
After ten hours, dig out all the mature spiritual grass, and take all ten spiritual herbs out of the fairy house, and the seeds will continue to be planted in the spiritual field to ripen.
Then Liu Yu came to the practice room, took out the black and yellow cauldron, and started making elixirs.
The grade of the Spirit-feeding Pill is only the first-grade high-grade pill, but the age of many spiritual herbs in the pill recipe requires two hundred years, which is comparable to some inferior second-grade pills.
Therefore, although it is still a first-level elixir, the difficulty of refining it is no less than that of some second-level elixirs.
But considering Liu Yu's current alchemy attainments, all this is not a problem.
Ten portions of spiritual grass were finally successfully refined in five furnaces, with the elixir yield reaching 50%, and forty-two spiritual feeding pills were obtained.
I believe that as we become more familiar with this elixir recipe, the elixir success rate will increase, and eventually reaching 60% will not be a problem.
…
Time is like running water, and eight days are gone forever.
Eight days later, at the top of Cailian Mountain.
A man and a snake were standing on a flat ground, opposite a huge boulder.
At this time, Xiao Qing has successfully advanced, growing from the first-level low-level to the first-level mid-level, which is equivalent to the cultivation level of a human monk in the middle stage of Qi refining. His body size has also grown from the original seven inches to nine inches.
After Liu Yu's order was issued, Xiao Qing immediately took action.
In its pitch-black, smart vertical pupils, blue light flashed, and an invisible wave immediately emitted.
Three-inch blue ice crystals condensed rapidly. In just one breath, they formed and floated around Xiaoqing. A rough count estimated that there were about a dozen of them.
The front and rear ends of the ice crystal were extremely sharp, and with the slightest bit of cold air, they formed a "blue ice rain" and quickly fell towards the boulder in front of them.
"Bang bang"
This boulder has just ordinary momentum and is directly torn apart by the blue ice crystal spell.
After the ice crystal penetrated the boulder, its power was not exhausted, and it fell into the woods behind, destroying more than a dozen trees before giving up.
Whether it is broken stones or broken trees, they are all covered with a thin layer of ice crystals, braving the cold air under the scorching sun.
"This level of power is two points more powerful than the first-level high-grade magic Fire Snake Technique."
Liu Yu watched all this calmly and estimated the power of this innate spell.
Then he conveyed his intention to continue and wanted to see if Xiaoqing had any other spells.
Normally, when a monster is born, it can be considered "gifted" if it has an innate spell. However, Xiao Qing seemed to have returned to his ancestors, and Liu Yu couldn't help but have higher expectations for it.
After receiving the master's order, Xiaoqing took another action without hesitation.
Its throat bulged and it opened its mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blue cold air. In less than a breath, it froze a tree seven to eight feet high.
This breath of blue cold air is very similar to its mother's. It should be the same innate spell, both with a certain kind of extremely cold breath, and its power is far beyond the ice attribute spells issued by ordinary monks.
The frozen trees reflect light in the sun, making them crystal clear and beautiful, looking like a lifelike ice sculpture.
Under the scorching sun at noon, there was no sign of melting for a while.
"Not bad."
Liu Yu gently stroked Xiaoqing's head as a compliment.
The power of these two innate spells is extraordinary. Xiao Qing is currently only a first-level mid-level spell, and the power he has released is no less than some first-level high-level spells. The potential for growth is excellent.
Coupled with the powerful body of the monster, it is enough to defeat enemies of a smaller level.
If you maintain this trend, over time, you will definitely become a good helper for yourself, and it is worth spending some energy to cultivate.
However, Xiao Qing was only a few days old now, and her demon body was still very fragile and could not withstand the torment, so Liu Yu gave up the idea of testing her demon body.
"Sizzle"
Xiaoqing was in a very happy mood when he heard his owner's encouragement. He twisted his body and wanted to climb onto his owner's shoulders.
The little guy seems to have a special liking for this position.
But Liu Yu frowned and ruthlessly interrupted Xiao Qing's actions. He had no habit of letting spirit beasts crawl on him, and he would never accommodate spirit beasts.
Liu Yu had no strange idea of treating him as a "partner".
To him, spiritual beasts are just tools, no different from other tools, except that their extraordinary bloodline is more valuable.
"Sizzle"
The master's will cannot be violated. Xiaoqing's movements suddenly stopped. He could only express his grievances and then rubbed his little head against the master's feet to express his close emotions.
Seeing this, Liu Yu frowned, conveyed a comforting thought, and then took Xiaoqing back to the cave.
He took it into the spirit animal room, fed it a spirit feeding pill, and then placed a bloody deer-like monster corpse in the spirit animal room.
Let Xiaoqing eat it by herself and play freely in the spirit beast room, and Liu Yu left the room.
The opening time of the Bloody Secret Realm is seven days. Including the round trip time, it usually ends in eight days. It is already eight days later. Whether your plan is successful or not, there will be a result today.
Lying on the Grand Master's chair, Liu Yu took out the Qingyang Kung Fu and began to comprehend the later stages of the sixth level of foundation building, quietly waiting for the news.
As for Ji Ruyan, she was ordered to stay in the room today.
Time passed slowly. Two hours later, Liu Yu received Wu Chang's telegraph message, and the team going to the bloody secret realm had returned to the sect.
As for the more specific situation, he hasn't figured it out yet because of insufficient class.
Whenever there is a moment of calmness during an important event, Liu Yu puts down the transmission talismans and continues to wait while meditating on the exercises.
Finally, three hours later, a ray of light fell on Cailian Mountain, revealing the figure of a man with a dusty face and a somewhat fierce appearance.
This person is one of the ten selected outer disciples.
Seeing the cave open, he walked straight in.
"See Uncle Liu!"
"Thanks to Uncle Hongfu, the disciple returned from the bloody secret realm smoothly."
"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"
After a lot of sifting, although his face was dusty and tired, the look in his eyes was exceptionally bright.
"Nephew Shi, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down first."
After hearing the next sentence, Liu Yu said kindly with a smile on her face.
The foundation-building monk didn't have any condescending attitude towards the Qi-refining monk, and even poured him a cup of spiritual tea with his own hands.
"Thank you, Master Liu."
Shi Xianglong sat down after hearing this, not as restrained as other disciples.
"By the way, where is Master Nephew Zhou who is working with you."
"Could it be that...?"
Liu Yu asked with a "heavy" face.
"Back to Senior Uncle, when we started to return on the seventh day, Senior Brother Zhou and I unfortunately encountered those stinky bitches from Piaoxue Pavilion."
"I was lucky enough to escape with my life, but Senior Brother Zhou was brutally murdered by the stinky bitches from Piaoxue Pavilion!"
When he mentioned this, Shi Xianglong's eyes suddenly turned red, as if he was angry, sad, and regretful.
"What a pity, Master Nephew Zhou."
Liu Yu sighed and said, as if he believed this statement.
Anyway, no one knows what happens in the secret realm unless they witness it with their own eyes.
As long as he brought back a lot of spiritual grass seeds, it would be fine. As for the cause of death of the disciple named Zhou, he didn't want to delve into it at all.
"Uncle Liu, these are the seeds of elixirs and herbs that my disciples collected in the secret realm. Please take a look at them, Uncle Liu."
Shi Xianglong took out eight jade boxes, placed them on the table, and said respectfully.
"Nephew Shi, you really did not disappoint Liu."
Liu Yu praised it without hesitation. He took the jade box over and opened it one by one to check it out.
