Ascension

Chapter 126 Amazing Mutated Mushrooms

"Swish—"

A Tiangang sand shield appeared in front of the pink ostrich, shaped like a wall of wind and sand.

The furious ostrich, no matter how it rushed, couldn't reach the mudblade mantis, and couldn't help screaming angrily.

Su Mei took a leap, rode on its back again, hugged its neck, and tried to comfort it.

"Okay, okay, isn't it just two stab wounds?"

"It'll heal after a few sleeps, it's okay!"

After a while, the medicinal properties gradually weakened, and as the red eyes gradually became clear, the big ostrich was no longer restless.

It tilted its head, stretched its neck to look at its own buttocks, and then glanced at its waist and abdomen, its big piercing eyes were at a loss.

How... so disfigured?

It was fine just now, why did it suddenly become ugly?

The big ostrich couldn't fully remember what happened in the berserk state.

But its feeling is still there, as soon as its eyes touch the mud blade mantis, there is an urge to rush over and squash it.

……

"Qualification verification!"——

[race name]: mud blade mantis
【Chaos Seal】: "Insect"

【Major】: Flying Way/Martial Arts Way/Survival Way

[Rank]: Clay Sculpture Embryo Consummation
[Chaos Spirit Pattern]: 30 patterns "Slash", 56 patterns "One-word Slash", 84 patterns "Instant Knife"

[Core Personality]: "Diligent"

【Current Status】: Coma/injured/bleeding...

[Contract relationship]: None

No matter what Ye Han-jun thinks about it, this mud-blade mantis is excellent.

Not only did it comprehend the most powerful skill of its own race, "Instant Knife".

Additionally has "Diligence" as a core personality.

Coupled with the ability to fly, agility, and strong alertness... all things considered, it is indeed exciting.

Unfortunately, Lord Yehan already has Guagua.

Once the coach changes jobs, he will be promoted to the fourth rank smoothly.

The newly added contract imprint will be used to bind pure white tadpoles soon.

There is no need to waste extra time and energy to cultivate a non-staffed spirit who is only "a little excited", and the investment and return are not directly proportional.

But Li Jingming is very suitable. He is an insect catcher. One of his passive abilities is "listening to the insect's language". As long as he has a certain amount of patience, he can faintly hear the emotions mixed in the insect's singing.

"let me try."

After pondering for a long time, Li Jingming made a decision.

With his current abilities, paired with the Grimace Moth, who is a master of clay sculpture, he can't suppress the perfect clay blade mantis at all.

And the mudblade mantis, who lived in the wild since childhood, is extremely wild.

Even with human nature, it is extremely difficult to domesticate without the imprint of the contract.

In other words, the combat power and potential of the Clay Blade Mantis are satisfactory enough.

It's a bit hard in the early stage, as long as we can get through the running-in stage, we can build trust with each other.

After arriving, the mud blade mantis will chase the prey that the grimacing moth can't catch.

The prey that the grimacing moth can't kill, cooperates with the mud blade mantis to slash wildly.

One controls an agility attack, with complementary advantages and disadvantages, and both have flight as a support for high mobility.

It would be a pity if such an opportunity was lost.

"Mud..."

After being in a coma for about 5 minutes, the Clayblade Mantis slowly woke up.

It was horrified to find that it was bound by shiny long strips of foreign objects one after another, and it exerted random force, unable to break free at all.

And the painful carapace was cracked in many places, and black insect blood still flowed out.

The mudblade mantis was startled and then angry. Its huge compound eyes once again met the sandstorm witch who was looking at it coldly.

——What kind of monster is this!

--Danger!Very dangerous!

If it was a stupid wild beast, or other ferocious monsters, it would only go crazy at this time and engage in the so-called battle of trapped beasts.

But the mud blade mantis actually started to show weakness, and looked at Hua Zhu with a pitiful gaze, as if it regarded her as the leader here, trying to get her sympathy and forgiveness.

"Srustling~~~"

The Grimace Moth hovered over the head of the Clayblade Mantis, and looked at this Zerg with a more noble bloodline than it with curious eyes.

Li Jingming squatted down, ignoring the gray mud attached to the beetle, and reached out to touch the cheek of the mantis.

"Mud..."

The mudblade mantis trembled, and there was a glint of fierceness in its downcast eyes.

Looking at Huazhu, he didn't dare to make any mistakes, but the mud monkey-like creature in front of him was not a threat.

Just here, how dare you get so close to it?
If he could break free from the shackles and cut it down with a knife, wouldn't his neck be broken?

Li Jingming was calm and thoughtful, and said:

"Sure enough, he has a strong wildness, and is good at disguising his true thoughts."

"But I can hear the 'warning' and 'hostility' towards me from its voice."

"Without the entangled insect nets, and without Master Han pressing the formation, this guy will definitely throw his sword violently..."

Lord Ye Han exhorted:

"How to tame it, I don't want to give you too many suggestions, I hope you can figure it out yourself."

"As it should be."

Li Jingming nodded slightly, thought and thought, and took out a bottle of snow fish scale powder.

This is a medicinal powder collected from several types of freshwater fish.

After grinding and preparing, it can help most common insect-type spirits, repair wounds, and speed up healing.

Taking advantage of the mud blade mantis being unable to move, Li Jingming walked around behind it, sprinkled the powder on the cracked insect shell, and spread it evenly carefully.

At the beginning, the wound of the mud blade mantis touched a foreign object.

The obvious tingling sensation made it think that it could not escape the fate of being eaten, and it was almost dying.

Before it tried to break the insect net, the stinging pain suddenly turned into numbness, and strands of coolness reflected in the brain.

The mudblade mantis stopped struggling, its body was slightly stiff, and it looked at Li Jingming nervously and strangely, temporarily remembering his breath and appearance.

"Here." Li Jingming took out another bottle of honeydew and placed it in front of the mantis' mouthparts.

This is Grimace Moth's favorite food on weekdays. It is delicious and nutritious at the same time. Presumably, it will also suit the appetite of Clay Blade Mantis.

"mud……"

The mud blade mantis refused to eat it.

Its eyes were full of vigilance, and the brief contact did not allow it to change its past thinking mode and become intimate with strange monsters all at once.

"It feels like it takes a long time to develop the most basic feelings..."

Su Mei sighed, "Xiao Li, you've made a lot of trouble."

"Try this again."

Li Jingming took the honeydew, secreted a drop of orange viscous liquid from his fingertips, and directly handed it to the mouthparts of the big praying mantis.

"mud?!"

The big and small jaws of the mudblade mantis shook at the same time, and its two compound eyes fixed on the drop of liquid, refusing to move their eyes no matter what.

Under the gaze of three pairs of human beings, it hesitated and lingered, but finally failed to resist the temptation, opened its mouth, and sucked the liquid into its stomach.

"Mud... Mud..."

The sharp cry of the mud blade mantis was a little calmer.

Li Jingming's eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself, "It's really useful!"

"As long as the amount of sweet mucus secreted is controlled and condensed according to the minimum dose, it will not seriously stimulate the perception and judgment of the insect family spirit, and it will turn into a short-term taste enjoyment."

The corner of Yehan-jun's mouth raised slightly upwards.

From this point of view, there are many directions in which this power can be developed.

Since the mudblade mantis failed to suppress its desire for the first time, Li Jingming only needs to feed it from time to time. The intimacy cultivated by this subtle influence...doesn't it reach the minimum standard line?

It is roughly judged that 80% of the plans of the non-staff dependent spirits are successful.

Mr. Yehan stepped on the corpses of insects on the ground, and walked to a entangled insect net.

"Shh-"

The blood-sucking dagger sliced ​​across, and the insect net broke.

A little golden thing fluttered its wings and wanted to escape, Mr. Yehan grabbed it casually and held it firmly in the palm of his hand.

"Hiss..."

The golden-yellow beetle the size of the eyeball looks like its name, so it is called the "golden beetle".

This is also a rare spirit, but the reason for its rarity is not its bloodline skills, but its insect armor.

This kind of beetle, which is a kind of insect family spirit, has a high medicinal value. A little powder can strengthen the medicinal properties of ordinary medicinal materials by [-] to [-]%.

If it is combined with more precious and rare medicinal materials, the degree of increase will be even more gratifying.

"pat-"

Mr. Yehan found a small empty box, prepared some food, and locked the golden beetle away.

In order to be able to sell the maximum value after returning, the golden beetle cannot die and must remain alive.

Otherwise, once the color of the insect beetle is dim, it is useless and useless.

And living things cannot be placed in the dimensional space bag, Ye Hanjun can only be fixed in his robe and carry it with him.

"Su Mei, come and clean up the battlefield."

"This time the loot is more abundant, there are a lot of materials that can be collected, don't waste it."

"Okay!" Su Mei replied, dragging the pink ostrich away from the mud blade mantis.

Seeing the reluctance, it seems that he failed to step on the head of the big mantis a few times, and the big ostrich was not happy at all.

"Okay, okay, it's just a little hair loss. I've given you medicine, and it will grow back soon!"

"After this adventure is over, how about we dye our hair again? Look at you, after taking a few showers, the fluff on the top of your head is no longer bright. It's time to reward you and change to a more cool hairstyle!"

Su Mei uses the nirvana "perm/hair dye/manicure".

For the pink ostrich, this is probably equivalent to "unrivaled and unparalleled skills".

When it heard these words, it really didn't get angry anymore. Regardless of the pain in its buttocks and sideways, it stood upright majestically, like a soldier waiting for a review, extremely energetic.

"This time, the ostrich has gained a lot."

Mr. Yehan glanced at it and laughed dumbfoundedly.

Li Jingming's mud blade mantis would not be of much use until he formally established trust and became a non-staffed spirit.

But the pink ostrich is different. After taking the "Rage Potion", in just 15 minutes, because of the stimulation of the injury, he comprehended two skills in a row.

"Empty steps" - although there are only 45 patterns.

But by jumping up, you can reach the mid-air that you couldn't reach before, and whether you use it to evade or chase, it can exert unexpected effects.

"Whirlwind Kick" - this one is even more powerful.

It was also the first time Ye Hanjun saw this skill appearing on the pink ostrich.

This is not a racial skill derived from blood, it is a general type.

But the strength fixed on the body of the pink ostrich has a full 80 chaotic spirit patterns, just stuck at the boundary line of the high-quality skills of the clay sculpture.

Just imagine - using whirlwind legs on the spot is equivalent to sweeping an area in parallel.

Connecting the air step in front, jumping into the air, and then activating the whirlwind leg - this combo has strong lethality and wide coverage. Those flying birds and insects are indeed prone to misjudgment, so that it is too late to avoid the next attack.

"I was also shocked. The ostrich is so big and has pink hair."

"Suddenly rushing up to more than ten meters in the air, sweeping across like a spinning top, this is too weird, if it is seen by others, it will probably feel a little shocking."

"Just be strong enough."

Lord Ye Han affirmed:

"The trip to the Yellow Mire, you have already gained a good harvest."

"Don't slack off in the next itinerary. The sooner you can improve to the perfection of clay sculpture, you will be able to compete with the strongest group of people in the North Campus."

"Yes!"

Su Mei showed yearning, looking forward to Ying Dao.

……

Half an hour later, the battlefield was swept away.

The most valuable batch of materials was specially stored by Mr. Yehan in the No. [-] dimensional space bag, and sold together when they returned to Canghai Pavilion.

"Pull—"

The blood-sucking dagger cut through the insect net, and several panicked "grouper ants" started to flee in a panic.

Mr. Ye Han followed at a leisurely pace, Su Mei and Pink Ostrich stayed on his right wing, and Li Jingming stayed on his left wing.

And behind Li Jingming, there is a grimacing moth flying while clutching a clay blade mantis.

Although this mud blade mantis tasted the sweet slime, it experienced the joy of taste buds.

But at this stage, there is the possibility of killing the master or escaping at any time, and it is obviously impossible to let it go free.

Fortunately, this big praying mantis just looks big, and its weight is no different from that of an adult man.

The Grimace Moth doesn't feel particularly strenuous holding it and flying. It just needs to keep an eye on the bound bug net and remind the owner to replace it before the energy dissipates, then there will be no problem.

"Mud..."

The mudblade mantis with wings but lost its freedom is a little scared and confused.

Even if the head melon wants to break it, it doesn't know what these monsters are going to do.

That is to say, the sense of crisis endowed by instinct, falls again and again, it is naturally intelligent, willing to think, and finally forced to accept it helplessly and powerlessly.

"Master Han, what are we doing with the grouper ants?" Su Mei asked curiously.

"Grouper ants live in swampy areas, but they like to eat plants."

"Near their nests, it is possible to find the mushrooms I want."

Mr. Ye Han kept his eyes on, sometimes jumping over the dangerous mud trap, and sometimes summoning flowers and candles to kill the beasts that came out.

When necessary, it is even necessary to frighten the predators in the sky, otherwise these grouper ants will die on the way home, and the plan will be in vain.

"Master Han, is this the "Stiff Mushroom"? "

Half a day later, the ground was a little dry. Who would have thought that the place covered with swamp mud would be full of hidden holes.

Su Mei pointed to the dried mud cave with surprise in her eyes.

The white mushrooms that can be seen everywhere in it seem densely packed, and there are hundreds of them.

"No, it's "fat-reduced mushrooms." "

Mr. Ye Han shook his head, "This mushroom is not very toxic, but eating a lot of it can melt fat, and many weight loss medicines use it as a raw material."

"Eh? So the legendary fat-reducing mushroom looks like this?"

Su Mei had obviously heard of it, but she couldn't match the name with the real thing.

Now listening to Master Han's explanation, she suddenly realized, repeatedly observed the shape of the fat-reducing mushroom, and carefully memorized it.

"Master Han, is this the stiffness mushroom?"

On the other side, Li Jingming found a mushroom growing on the wall.

The mushroom is also white, but the rhizome is shorter, and the edge of the fungus is wavy.

"No, this is "Jianzhi Mushroom", which is derived from a mutant variety of Jiangzhi Mushroom. "

Lord Yehan raised his neck, stared straight at it for a long time, and shook his head again.

"what?"

Su Mei was taken aback, and Li Jingming was also taken aback.

"Haven't you heard that long-term dependence on weight-loss drugs is prone to accidents?"

Lord Yehan, whose heart is like still water, bestowed knowledge:

"These mushrooms grow together and look similar, so it's really easy to confuse them."

"Even professional herb collectors may make mistakes in judgment."

"If even the person who finally made the drug didn't notice the abnormality, and took this wisdom-reducing mushroom as a fat-reducing mushroom, it would be fine if the dose was small, but if the dose was large, the brain nerves of the user would be severely damaged, and it would not be wrong to become an idiot overnight. Too much."

"It's so scary..."

Su Mei shrank her neck, feeling scared for a while.

Girls have a heart for beauty.

Although as the head of the family, more than half of them are not bad in figure, they should be slender, and they should be plump.

But there are always some troughs, and the figure is out of shape.

At the time of introduction, it is indeed possible to quickly adjust the body with the help of drugs.

But... lowering fat and lowering intelligence.

The difference of one word is tantamount to the difference between cloud and mud!
This is the first time for Su Mei to hear that even diet pills have such a trap!

"As long as you don't confuse and don't harm normal people, this mushroom has a high value."

"Because some family masters are desperate and will choose a special way of ascension evolution."

"For example, when sacrificing wisdom to pursue a breakthrough in rank, this wisdom-reducing mushroom is often one of the supplementary materials."

With a sword dance, Mr. Yehan dug out the white mushrooms by the roots, and carefully stored them in the medicine box.

"In addition, the black and white ones are "sauce mushrooms", which are suitable as condiments, and we will collect a few plants appropriately. "

"The yellow and white ones are 'ginger mushrooms', which have a warming effect in the stomach and can resist wind and cold. "

"The flat and protruding thing is the "pulp paper mushroom", which is one of the raw materials for making spirit cloth scrolls..."

……

One after another, Mr. Ye Han led two disciples to identify various mushrooms.

Even Li Jingming couldn't take it anymore, the gene of the fat-reducing mushroom was too powerful, so many mushrooms mutated through it, none of them had the same medicinal effect.

It is really not difficult to understand that professional herb collectors miss several times a year.

"found it!"

After cutting off a white umbrella-shaped mushroom, Mr. Ye Han showed a trace of relaxation.

I almost thought that I couldn't find the Stiffness Mushroom in this cave, and I thought about catching a few more grouper ants and exploring other areas.

Fortunately, everything went well.

Thinking about it, Lord Yehan ordered:
"Li Jingming, wait until night falls, when the night is darkest, let your grimacing moth eat this mushroom."

"At that time, whether the hidden bloodline skill can be activated depends on its luck."

Li Jingming nodded slowly.

Since becoming the head of the family and signing Xiao'e as a contracted family spirit.

He has already read all the information about "Ghostface Moth" that Canghai Pavilion can read.

But there has never been any clue that this species has hidden blood skills.

Li Jingming...I am looking forward to it!
It is not inferior to the "Scare Fan", and even more powerful skills, once mastered.

Xiao'e's combat power may be close to that of the mudblade mantis of the same period, which is also close to the threshold of 90 points.

"Brother! There are human footprints here!"

"Brother! The outline is very clear! He left in this direction!"

A few shouts as thin as mosquitoes, accompanied by the sound of the wind outside the cave and the swaying of the vines, suddenly penetrated into Lord Ye Han's ears.

The brow on his right raised up, and his fingers immediately raised up, making a silent movement.

Su Mei, who was about to speak, just opened her mouth, but immediately closed it tightly again.

"call--"

"Whoosh-"

There were several galloping winds, and then three human men came into view.

They are plainly dressed, the clothes of ordinary hunters.

But their foreheads were covered with blood-red turbans, and the fluttering red was particularly eye-catching when it swayed in the wind.

"Oh, three tender recruit eggs!"

"It's all because of the good looks! Two handsome guys and a beautiful woman are both beautiful!"

The second person on the right body is a sharp-billed monkey cheek.

When he saw Mr. Yehan and Li Jingming, his eyes just brightened.

When he saw Su Mei, he couldn't help whistling, looking like he was slacking off.

"Stop talking nonsense! Do it!"

The big man in the middle yelled, a smirk bloomed on his face, and the beast riding under him immediately accelerated to run.

It was a "digging cat demon", with bright yellow ring-shaped markings all over its body, like a mixture of cat, leopard, lion and tiger.

It has the dexterity of cats and leopards, and the burly of lions and tigers. When it runs wildly, it makes the whistling wind.

"It's a bandit..."

Seeing that the three of them could not hide their whereabouts and were blocked at the entrance of the cave, Su Mei lowered her voice and spoke solemnly.

"Wow—"

An earth elemental arm more than five meters long suddenly extended from the big man's right hand.

As the distance gets closer, the dark skin, large pores, and ferocious smile are reflected in the pupils, making this person even more vicious.

E-level authority - bandits!
Once this power is awakened, the human body will become friendly to the earth element.

Paired with another passive power "bullying the weak", the higher ranks bully the lower ranks, and the combat power is stronger.

And the arm of the earth element extended at this time is one of the active powers, the "snatching hand", as long as it can touch the prey, it can snatch something from it.

If the target is a human being, it will be even simpler, just steal the bag without thinking, and then use the second initiative to "burrow into the ground" to escape.

Wait until you have escaped to a safe place, and then go to count the loot-this is the conventional combat strategy of the bandits.

"It's crazy."

Master Yehan held the dagger blade, lowered his body's center of gravity, and squinted his eyes slightly.

He felt the "killing intent".

These three people were all bandits, and they acted together as allies. I'm afraid they did a lot of rape and robbery on weekdays, and they were most lawless.

Moreover, they are very brave.

It's just that the three of them look young, and the aura they exude is not strong.

He didn't even consider whether there were guards or elders around, so he went straight up, not only wanting to snatch supplies, but also wanting to slaughter them all, so as to avoid subsequent troubles.

This is really...

……

court death!
