Since this method of fishing for strength by sacrificing vitality exists and has endured for a long time, it naturally makes sense.
If you are hacked to death, even if you still have 1,000 years of life, it will be in vain.
Therefore, if you reasonably sacrifice part of your life in exchange for powerful power, you will live longer and more nourished.
Everyone knows that staying up late is a crazy test on the verge of sudden death, but why do so many authors stay up late to finish their manuscripts?
Isn't it just to get a few more monthly passes and earn a few more subscriptions?
Xi Tong summarized that whether he created life or made equipment before, he subconsciously held the idea of longevity, extending the vitality of species as much as possible, and giving priority to lifespan when using materials.
However, there are many species that live and die in nature, and it is normal for summer insects to remain silent.
Xi Tong couldn't help but think of the two directions of life evolution: individual immortality and group growth.
The former is like the secret art of demon refining, which uses various means to strengthen the foundation, strengthen the foundation, strengthen the body, transcend physiological limits, break the shackles of the physical body, and complete the qualitative change of life again and again.
The latter is the art of voodoo, sacrificing life potential to enhance other abilities and attributes, such as reproduction and growth speed, and occupy a place among all things with the help of a huge population.
However, there is one exception - the pattern of ants and bees.
The queen ant and queen bee are like using the magic of demon refining to strengthen themselves, while the other members are like using voodoo to sacrifice their vitality to strengthen a certain characteristic.
To put it more bluntly, it's like a pistol and bullets, a cannon and cannonballs.
Guns and cannons are made strong and durable, and their performance is constantly improved to extend their service life.
Bullets and cannonballs are disposable items from the beginning. Therefore, they only need to pursue damage unilaterally and maximize this attribute. Others are not considered.
After thinking about this section, Xi Tong began to wonder, what kind of things should I make?
cheap!
Quick fix!
It has a certain combat effectiveness, and at least the price/performance ratio is decent.
Flowers, plants and insects are in the same direction, especially the presence of toxins, which allows them to grow big with small things.
Xi Tong took out a handful of pea shooter seeds that Zhuge Shufu had just created and handed them to Zixuan.
"Interested in this thing? What are your thoughts?"
Zixuan smiled and took Xi Tong's seeds, and replied sweetly: "Gu cup!"
Utensils for cultivating gu?
Xi Tong looked at the pea shooter's mouth, which was like an airplane cup. Even though the mouth was not big, the space inside was really quite big, so it was definitely suitable for raising Gu.
The props commonly used to raise gu are earthen pots, porcelain vases or gold, silver and wooden utensils. These things are dead objects, nothing comparable to the mouth of a pea shooter.
Since the pea shooter can absorb and release toxins, it can pass these toxins to the poisonous insects and even provide them with the nutrients they need every day.
The eating, drinking, and diarrhea of the voodoo bugs can be completely solved in the mouth of the pea shooter, without any interference from the outside world, and the voodoo bugs cultivated will become more pure and powerful.
"Genius! You are really a genius!" Xi Tong gave a thumbs up and said, "Come on! I'm optimistic about you!"
As a result, there was a dense area of peashooters in Central Park. This place was designated as a dangerous restricted area by the World Tree, and no living creature was allowed to approach it.
The appearance of the peashooter modified by Zixuan has changed, almost becoming a goblet.
The mouth faces upward, and a thin membrane seals the mouthparts.
This membrane can be colorless and transparent to observe the poisonous insects inside, or it can be dark and opaque to block outside light.
The Gu worms grow and metamorphose in the Pea Shooter's mouth. The Pea Shooter will absorb various nutrients and special substances to refine the Gu worms, and at the same time clean up, absorb and decompose the garbage produced by the Gu worms.
This is like a petri dish or cultivation chamber, and it is more advanced, efficient and precise than similar equipment in any biological laboratory.
Life will continue to adapt to the environment and evolve to adapt to the environment, just like the neck of a giraffe will become longer and longer. After tens of millions of years, species will be greatly different from their ancestors.
This was originally a very slow process, but in Zixuan's Gu cup, this change occurred at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was ten thousand or even one hundred thousand times faster than the outside world.
Moreover, Zixuan can accurately grasp the nutrients and various substances ingested by the Gu insects, making the mutations of the Gu insects more controllable and precisely controlled.
Xi Tong was observing a praying mantis at the moment.
The dense fluff in the pea shooter's mouth binds, binds, and fixes it in the center. Each villi corresponds to a hole in the mantis' body, and it continuously exchanges body fluids with the mantis.
Zixuan poured a fiery red medicine on the roots of the pea shooter. After the medicine was absorbed and extracted by the pea shooter, the pure medicinal effect was introduced into the mantis' body along the hairs.
The emerald green body of the mantis quickly turns red, like a cooked lobster.
"This is a nutritional potion prepared from Dracula's blood." Zixuan's big eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, "I suddenly discovered that vampires are very useful, especially for raising Gu."
The Vampires are an immortal race. They can only be killed, but they will never be wiped out by time.
After this mantis possesses the life characteristics of the vampire race - even just a part of it, it can burn life unscrupulously to stimulate its potential.
Saying that, Zixuan poured vats of blood on the roots of the pea shooter.
The mantis immediately stirred, conveying its desire for blood. Immediately, the blood flowed into the pea shooter's body, and gathered in the mouth, followed the hairs, flowed into the mantis's large holes, and poured into the limbs and bones...
The thumb-sized mantis swelled up as if blowing air, and instantly expanded more than ten times. However, the next moment, it was like water leaking, secreting layers of colorful fat-like filth.
The pea shooter's villi immediately moved to absorb and clean up the dirt.
Between expansion and contraction, the body of the mantis became more solid, the color became darker, and the armor on the body also had an inexplicable texture, like metal.
One bucket, one bucket, another bucket...
After pouring countless buckets of monster blood, the mantis finally stopped changing and allowed itself to be soaked and covered in the blood-red liquid.
Zixuan opened the lid of the voodoo cup, threw various materials into it, and then chanted incantations and kept making mysterious gestures and fingerings.
Xi Tong knew that this was voodoo recorded in the art of voodoo, and Zixuan was giving the mantis special abilities in this way.
The liquid in the Gu cup seemed to be boiling, gurgling continuously, and black and purple smoke rose up.
One spell after another floated on the surface of the liquid, and then it was imprinted on the mantis like a tattoo.
In particular, the mantis's blade arms are densely covered with small characters. These incantations are arranged in a special way to form patterns full of evil beauty.
Beautiful, but deadly!
"Done!"
Zixuan held the thumb-sized mantis in her hand. At the same time, the pea shooter quickly withered and turned into ashes.
