Chapter 181: The European Emperor or the African Chief?
Although the Yongye Group Army is like a top, most of the people are busy spinning around. The reason for the division of labor is that Sean, the supreme commander, seems to be doing nothing because the overall situation has not changed much.
Except for some meetings that I had to attend, I spent the rest of my time at the Institute of Biological Anomalies. However, those who could dissect had already finished dissecting, and gained little.
The rest are time-consuming observations and in vivo experiments, and it will be difficult to see results in a short time. In addition to boring experiments day after day, a little bit of luck is also required.
Obviously, the Yongye Army is now very lacking in this kind of luck.
Except for occasionally attending some important research seminars, Sean mostly hangs out with Dark Horse Treading Fire during the day.
While my equestrian skills are improving day by day, I have also completely understood the dark horse's temper. This guy is a bitch. If you take the initiative to stick to him, he will most likely ignore you in a arrogant manner.
If once you let it think something is his, if you give it to another horse, it will go crazy with jealousy.
Taking advantage of its unique ambivalence, after months of battles of wits and courage, Sean finally got his wish and rode the dark horse.
After experiencing the feeling of lightning speed, Sean was not very willing to ride the bay mare, even though it was also a very good war horse.
If we compare it to a motorcycle, the maroon mare is at most a domestically produced 250, while the black horse is an authentic Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
They are not on the same level at all. Riding them is two completely different experiences.
Moreover, due to human calculations, Black Horse Stepping on Fire has made six mares, including the bay mare, pregnant, making them unsuitable for riding in a short period of time.
As for how to make a dark horse fall into the trap, it can only be said that it is not just humans who can be sexually promiscuous with wine. Horses can also fall victim to it if they drink too much, especially wine with special seasonings.
If a black horse walking on fire could speak, he would probably look up to the sky and lament, and one misstep would result in eternal regret.
Once you get a start with anything, the rest becomes easier.
Once it is raw, twice once it is ripe, three times four times it becomes a natural habit.
Coupled with the fact that he accidentally became a stallion, Dark Horse stepped on the fire and gave up on himself, letting Sean do whatever he wanted.
At night, Sean naturally continued to inject magical power into the animal skin paper of the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard.
As more and more magical power is injected into the animal skin paper, Sean's feeling becomes more and more mysterious. This feeling is difficult to describe clearly in words, as if it has become an extension of his own body, and something always breaks free.
The feeling of coming out.
I don't know since when, Sean has been dreaming every night.
It is not strange to dream. Even in deep sleep caused by a large amount of magic power consumption, there is a high chance that the human brain will be in a highly active state, thus producing dreams.
At best, warlocks can develop the human brain more powerfully, and have stronger memory and mental power. There is still a long way to go before they can fully control their own brains, let alone brain activities in a sleeping state.
If you have the same dream every night, it cannot be described by a simple sentence.
Human dreams are inherently absurd and capricious, and are affected to a certain extent by what they see and hear every day. Under normal circumstances, the chance of having the same dream for two days is very slim, let alone having the same dream for dozens of consecutive days.
There is only one reason for this possibility, and that is the existence of external incentives.
And Sean happens to know an existence that has a wonderful connection with dreams, and he always carries it with him - animal skin paper.
What's more, as the power of magic continues to be injected, the connection between the two parties becomes closer and closer. The animal skin paper shows its uniqueness through dreams, and everything is within logic and reason.
Therefore, apart from the initial discomfort and surprise, the rest of the time was Sean's exploration time - the exploration of dreams.
This is a rare experience and opportunity.
At the beginning, the effect was not ideal. The dream itself was unstable and bizarre. Sean seemed to see something, but also seemed not to see anything. It was like there was an invisible shackle binding Sean's consciousness. He could not move at all and could only
Get a rough feel for your surroundings.
During the first period of time, Sean was mostly fighting against this invisible shackles in his dreams. He used all kinds of imagination, drilling, spreading, deforming...all kinds of things.
This is a dream. If your hands and feet are restricted, then you are a real fool.
Unfortunately, things like imagination are sometimes not as lethal as imagined, at least not in Sean's dreams.
Sean knew within a few days that this was not the case.
The fundamental reason still lies in the animal skin paper. The magic power injected by myself is not enough, and the connection between the two parties is not close enough.
The dream is constantly changing based on the total amount of magic power injected into the animal skin paper. As time goes by, the dream gradually stabilizes. Most of the time, the dream is still bizarre, but there are certain traces to follow.
In the dream, the reason why Sean's consciousness cannot break free is because he also has a body in the dream.
However, the body is not a human, but an animal, a feline. Although there is no way to see his whole face, Sean can be 100% sure that it should be a shadow soul-eating leopard - a young one.
The initial size is no different from that of a newborn kitten.
As I said before, Sean's dream is related. The animal skin paper that his magic power was injected into was a shadow soul-eating leopard, and it turned into a cat in the dream. How could it be other cats?
?How could it be a coincidence?
From that moment on, the dream was no longer just a dream.
Everything that happened subsequently proved this point in disguise.
Most of the time, the dream is still bizarre, but there is one key point, which is that it revolves around the shadow soul-eating leopard.
After nearly a week, Sean was sure of one thing, that is, he not only became the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard in the dream, but also in its memory.
As the magic power is injected into the animal skin paper bit by bit, the shadow soul-eating leopard in the dream is growing up, and its memory is also being unblocked bit by bit.
Sean felt like he was watching a documentary, an animal documentary with a shadow soul-eating leopard as the protagonist, and it was from a first-person perspective.
No, it should be a real experience version of the fucking holographic simulation. The whole thing is that Sean turned into a shadow soul-eating leopard.
Even though Sean was determined enough, in the first few days, he couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. In reality, he made many feline actions. Fortunately, the only people who saw his shameful actions were a horse and a dog.
Otherwise, I won't embarrass him to death.
Even so, Sean still felt that for a long time, Dark Horse Treading Fire looked at him in a strange way, almost writing the word "psycho" on his face.
Just when Sean thought it was an animal growth documentary, the style of the film changed 180 degrees, directly transforming into a strange and curious horror film. The scenes he saw were strange and curious, and there was certainly an element of dream at play in it.
, and it is also related to the previous experience of the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard.
Sean highly doubted that the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard was not a creature of this world.
Because what he saw and heard in the dream completely went against all common sense of physics, at least Sean's knowledge.
From the beginning to the end, Sean did not see the existence of the sun in his dream. Both the sky and the earth were gray, just like the oldest black and white photos. Even the black and white are not that kind.
Pure black and white, but gray and gray.
The moon-like entity that occasionally appears also emits an abnormal dead fish white color.
None of the creatures encountered are normal, including those ordinary-looking dead trees or old houses. They might reveal their ferocious faces at the next moment and turn into strange and ferocious beings beyond imagination.
In the face of these strange creatures, Sean's self-proclaimed good imagination was somewhat insufficient. Even though he knew that the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard would not die, he was tortured so much that he almost suffered a nervous breakdown.
It is not easy to experience first-person horror movies, not to mention that many times, the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard did almost survive, and his survival was purely luck.
At the same time, Sean had a deeper understanding of the name Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard. The opponent has the power of shadow magic. For it, controlling the power of shadow is as easy as drinking cold water. It does not require a shadow escape or something.
Too easy.
This is not an optical illusion caused by Darnell's manipulation of light. He did not move at all during the actual casting process.
Instead, the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard has become a part of the shadow and dissolved into it. This is completely beyond Sean's current knowledge system.
For this reason, Sean is very suspicious that the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard may not be a pure body, but an energy body composed of shadow-like energy. This can explain why it can come and go freely in the shadow.
Soul Eater refers to the main food of the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard, which is those twisted shadow monsters.
They are hunting the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard, and the Shadow Soul Eater Leopard is also hunting them.
"Hey, it's finally the harvest season. Is it a surprise or a shock tonight? I hope the Andis people from three hundred years ago haven't learned to play pranks yet."
Sean rubbed his hands together excitedly, feeling like he was opening boxes in a game in his previous life. He expected that tonight he would be possessed by a European emperor instead of an African black chieftain.
After one hundred and twenty-three days of infusion, the beast-skin paper of the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard finally gave Sean the feeling that the magic power was about to overflow.
As time went by, Sean not only failed to solve the mystery on the animal skin paper, but also had more questions.
For example, how did the other party control his dream and connect with the shadow soul-eating leopard above?
In what way is the memory of the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard carried?
Sean turned the animal skin paper over and over and checked it countless times, almost scraping it open with a razor blade and checking it bit by bit.
After much hesitation, Sean still did not conduct this destructive inspection.
Although the animal skin paper has shown the ability to absorb the power of magic and repair itself, who knows what is hidden inside. If there is a device similar to an electrical circuit hidden inside, once it is destroyed, it will lose its ability to repair itself. Sean will cry.
There is no place to cry.
So far, the words on the animal skin paper are all the same, but the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard has become more lifelike. If you observe carefully, even every animal hair can be clearly distinguished.
But Sean always felt that there was something missing in the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard. It wasn't until one day when he saw the carcass of an animal that had just been hunted that he suddenly realized what the other party lacked - a soul.
No matter how lifelike it is, no matter how vivid it is, the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard always lacks a spirituality that belongs to a living creature. Not only it, but the other four pictures also feel this way.
Don't talk about how a painting can have the spirituality of a living thing. This is a feeling, even if the other person is just a dead thing, it is also a feeling.
This feeling has not changed with the injection of magical power. Even now, when the magical power that the animal skin paper can hold is about to be filled, it is still lifeless, like a dead corpse.
Sean finally understood why so many warlocks relied more on instinct to cast spells and rarely studied the principles of spells in depth.
It is really difficult to do substantive research without basic knowledge. If you invest too deeply, you will only collapse yourself and then fall into madness. The warlocks of the Guandis Empire are the best proof. Many people are pursuing it.
I lost myself on the path to the source of magical power.
However, in this process, many incredible black technologies must have been born, such as these pieces of animal skin paper.
The only thing Sean can do now, like other warlocks, is to temporarily suppress his desire to find the source and unravel its use.
Filling the animal skin paper with the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard took more than a month less than Sean originally expected. Naturally, this is because his magic power has made great progress during this time.
Compared to consuming magic power by yourself, one advantage of using animal skin paper to consume magic power is that it has a suction force that absorbs magic power very thoroughly. Every time, Sean is stuck on the edge of coma, which makes it easier for Sean.
While entering deep sleep, it is also a potential stimulus to the body, stimulating him to produce more magic power.
During this process, the animal skin paper also showed other magical characteristics, which can be regarded as a small surprise. It does not just eat Sean's magic power, but sometimes feeds back an essence of magic power.
Wandering around in Sean's body, there is a slight feeling of heat wherever he goes, until it completely disappears deep into the body. Within the next week, Sean's physical fitness will inevitably increase to a certain extent.
This kind of increase is difficult for ordinary people to detect, but for Sean, who has a flame brand to monitor his physical condition in real time, it is really obvious. Even the amount of each increase, Sean can clearly understand the decimal point.
Two digits, including which muscle is being strengthened.
As the power of the spell increases, the control of the body becomes easier and easier. The ability of the flame brand also increases, and the monitoring of the body condition becomes more comprehensive. However, Sean has fewer and fewer opportunities to use it. More often, it feels like
I will only look at it when my body feels abnormal.
That unique magic power smelled like the legendary inner power. Several times after that, Sean tried to control this pure power and wanted to use it for his own use to see if he could introduce it into Dantian, Qi sea, etc.
, forming a large cycle.
Even if there is no big circulation, there will be small circulation. In that case, it will be developed. Regardless of eating and sleeping, as long as the energy circulation exists, the strength of your body will continue to increase. It may be a little difficult to become a champion knight by then.
