The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 659: Semi-Illusory Creatures

As a naturally evolved fourth-level creature, the body structure of the Disaster Serpent is very magical.

The energy circulation in its body can be divided into thousands of small energy circulations. These small energy circulations are connected through the spine of the giant snake. They are independent of each other and evenly distributed in the body of the disaster snake, like links.

Richard had never seen such an energy circulation structure before.

After simulation research, he found that this structure is a very efficient energy storage cycle. According to the snake itself, as long as it is full, it can function normally even if it does not take in external energy for 10,000 years.

In addition to energy circulation, Richard also learned a lot from the scales and structure of the snake's spine. The scales of the snake can optimize Richard's own bone scales, and the structure of its spine is something he has never seen before.

However, these things are not the main results of Richard's research. Compared with his main results, these things can be said to be insignificant.

Two months after the study began.

“Incredible, it’s really incredible.”

Li Chan looked at the flesh and blood of the giant snake in front of him, and the eyeball of his left eye kept changing.

In Richard's vision, the flesh of the snake gradually shed its fleshy appearance, revealing its deeper secrets. After seeing through the smokescreen of the four elements' rules, he saw a rule.

A rule that Richard had never seen in any other flesh-and-blood creature.

According to Richard's experience, the only creatures that can observe rules at this level are the imaginary creatures in the imaginary dimension. The rules they observe are also the imaginary rules that maintain their existence.

But Richard could be sure that the disaster snake beside him was definitely not a creature from some imaginary dimension.

He is a real creature from the material world.

"Could it be that there are semi-imaginary creatures in this world?" Richard muttered to himself as he looked at the flesh and blood of the giant snake in front of him.

Suddenly, Richard felt a chill on his face. He reached out and touched it, and found that his left eye had started bleeding.

Richard shook his head helplessly and stopped inputting energy into the Eyes of Delusion.

"Alas, this thing is good, but it is not durable."

Although the Eye of Delusion can see through the veil, it will become overloaded after being used for a period of time. And this has nothing to do with the user's strength. When Richard was a fifth-ring wizard, he could use it no longer than when he was a fourth-ring wizard.

However, Richard was not a greedy person. He was very satisfied to be able to see through the curtain.

Looking back at the ordinary piece of flesh and blood, Richard felt as if he had seen a huge treasure. If his idea was correct, then physical evolution would enter a new stage.

The fact that the snake was able to be resurrected intact must be related to this rule. If he could understand the secret, could he also be able to be resurrected intact, or even do more seemingly incredible things?
Richard didn't know, so he was full of expectations.

Beside him, the disaster snake looked at Richard's excitement over a piece of his flesh and blood, and felt that this creature was really weird.

It's just a piece of meat. No matter how delicious it is, it shouldn't make you so excited, right?

After thinking a little bit, the Disaster Snake quickly came to a conclusion based on his own knowledge.

Alas, poor guy, he probably hasn’t eaten anything good before.

Richard sealed the piece of flesh and blood to ensure that the cells inside it remained active. Then he looked at the disaster snake on the side.

After these days of research, Richard knew the snake better than the snake itself. To be frank, this snake was a treasure.

Its excellent energy storage cycle and body structure that is strong enough to withstand 50,000-level energy spells make it a perfect turret with a little learning. Its scales and spine are both very good alchemical materials - the former can be as defensive as fine gold with a little enchantment, and the latter's magic conducting ability is almost the same as mithril.

Its flesh and blood contain a large amount of evolutionary substances, and a small amount can improve physical fitness. The anti-aging substances extracted from its blood can extend the lifespan of organisms without any transformation.

This is a miracle drug for organisms with evolved physiques.

In addition, there are some scattered things. Although these things are not as useful as the previous ones, they can be used as by-products of refining the previous ones.

He had to make use of such a treasure.

But the biggest problem now is how he can use this big snake smoothly.

If Richard wanted to maintain the material quality of the snake, he couldn't seal its body. The disaster snake was not a galaxy mayfly, and its flesh, blood, and scales seemed simple, but these things needed the entire body of the snake as a foundation to be born.

The method used to deal with the Heart of the Mayfly does not apply to the Great Snake.

But relying on the means of the fate contract is not enough to make the snake obedient and stable.

Although the disaster snake was very afraid of death, it was not to that extent. If Richard treated it like an industrial raw material and skinned it, any living creature would choose death.

Compared to eternal torment, death is nothing.

Moreover, with his current level of sealing skills, even if he separated the snake's body and soul, it would not be enough to prevent the snake's soul from committing suicide. Once the soul died, the snake's body would disappear because of that special rule.

Even if Richard could temporarily preserve it with the sealing technique, it would never be used as an industrial raw material. "Alas, you are still too greedy."

Richard sighed slightly. He had clearly gained enough from the disaster snake, but he was still greedily thinking about how to use its body.

The disaster snake didn't know what Richard was thinking at the moment. If it knew, it would definitely choose to commit suicide.

Although death is painful, it is better than being mined as an animal mine in the future.

After thinking for a long time, Richard still couldn't think of a solution. He could only give the disaster snake some food and throw it back into the seal.

The reason for giving it food was mainly because they were afraid that the disaster snake would be beaten to death by the seal.

The disaster snake did not react to Richard's treatment, or rather, the only option it could do was to commit suicide. If it did not commit suicide, it could do nothing.

Before entering the seal, the Calamity Serpent looked at Richard and asked, "Wizard, I can feel that you are different from those blue foods. I am curious, what exactly are you going to do? Are you going to raise me like livestock?"

Richard was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "...Who knows. Maybe I will let you go in a few decades."

……

Heavy rain. Heavy rain.

In the gloomy woods, Baal was running in a panic. Behind him, a ferocious monster was chasing him.

There was a flash of lightning and then a loud thunder.

Suddenly, Baal slipped and fell to the ground. He struggled to stand up, but the monster had already pounced on him, and its sharp claws tore open his chest and neck like razors...

"what!"

Bal sat up suddenly, and after realizing that he was in his own tent, he wiped the sweat from his forehead in a daze.

"What's wrong with me? Why do I keep having this nightmare?"

Bal crawled out of his sleeping bag and took two gulps of water from his water bottle. After he walked out of the tent, the people who were keeping watch by the campfire found him.

"Professor Baer, ​​why are you awake?"

Bal waved his hand: "Nothing, just a nightmare."

The night watchman heard this and did not ask any more questions. Everyone in the expedition team knew that Professor Bal had encountered a geological disaster during his last expedition, and the entire expedition team, except for him, was buried in a mudslide. And after the mudslide, he himself was chased by a wild beast in the forest for a long time.

After encountering such a thing, it was already a big heart for Bal to just have nightmares.

The cold night wind blowing on Bal's face wiped out the remaining sleepiness.

Only two weeks had passed since he was discharged from the hospital, and he joined the new expedition team despite all dissuasion. In the eyes of others, he was risking his life for work. But only he knew that he was doing it to solve the mystery of himself.

Although hospital records showed that he suffered temporary amnesia due to a severe head blow and major psychological trauma, he could not remember what happened that night.

But he knew that what caused their team to be wiped out that night was definitely not a geological disaster.

He habitually took out the cigarette case from the inner lining pocket, but after fumbling around for a while, Bal realized that the inner pocket of his clothes had been blocked by his bulletproof lining.

Under the starlight, a piece of dark red leather was stuck to the inside of Bal's coat, which just covered the area of ​​his heart.

He had obtained this piece of leather from a villager. The villager called it the Devil's Scroll, which was designed to tempt people to sign a contract and sell their souls.

Although he was sure that he had never seen this thing before, he felt that it was very familiar the first time he saw the scroll. After getting it, he didn't know why he tested the toughness of this thing.

After discovering that it could resist bullets, he didn't even bother to deal with the stains on it and just stuck it to the inside of his clothes.

At that time, he had an inexplicable sense of tension, as if he would die without this leather scroll as a lining.

After smoking a cigarette, the sleepiness that had receded flooded into Bal's mind again. After extinguishing the cigarette, he returned to the tent.

This time, he slept very soundly.

The next morning, Bal woke up from his sleep. After packing his sleeping bag, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the tent. He walked out of the tent and saw that there was another expedition team in this place where there was no village or shop.

Judging from the equipment of this expedition team, their configuration is even more luxurious than that of the team that Bal belongs to.

"It's really rare to meet a fellow traveler in this remote place."

Bal rubbed his face and prepared to find some clean water to wash it. But at this moment, he suddenly saw a very familiar figure in this expedition team.
