Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 107 The Experiment Begins and the Monkey God’s Surprise

At this moment, Zhao Wuji felt a little undecided about whether to continue helping Chen Feng find the soul beast.

From a safety perspective, it would definitely be best to leave the Star Dou Great Forest first.

Because Zhao Wuji was not sure whether the Titan Ape would come again.

He didn't even understand why the Titan Ape had come before.

With everything unknown, Zhao Wuji felt it was unwise to continue staying in the Star Dou Great Forest.

So he wanted to leave the Star Dou Great Forest first, and as for Chen Feng’s third soul ring, he would talk about it later.

Such a precious and talented scholar cannot die here.

But this decision was opposed, and the people who opposed it were not just Chen Feng and the other three.

Oscar said:
"Teacher Zhao, even if we want to leave here, we need to at least get a night's rest first. I'm running low on soul power and can't make recovery tofu, let alone flying mushrooms. Besides, everyone else is exhausted too. We won't be able to leave the Star Dou Great Forest in this state."

Tang San also spoke:
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, everyone's condition isn't very good right now. Let's rest for a night. It would be even more dangerous to travel in a place like this at night. Xiaofeng and I were lucky before, but good luck doesn't last forever."

To be honest, when he recalled the experience just now, it still felt a bit dreamy.

If Oscar hadn't had the flying mushroom, he and Xiaofeng would never have had such a smooth journey. They would most likely have been attacked by soul beasts and might even have lost their lives.

Coupled with his mother and Xiao Wu's soul beast transformed human identity, Tang San felt that tonight was a night that changed his life.

It was comparable to the time when he jumped from the Ghost-Seeing Scar in his previous life.

Xiao Wu also echoed:

"If a creature like the Titan Ape really sets its sights on us, we won't be able to hide even if we want to. This terrifying existence simply can't be avoided. The time it takes us to speak is enough for it to strike again. The previous one was probably just an accident."

Dai Mubai raised his eyebrows and said:
"Although I also think we should leave here as soon as possible, Xiao Wu is right. We are now very deep into the Star Dou Great Forest. If the Titan Giant Ape really sets its sights on us, then the journey we take out of the Star Dou Great Forest will be enough to kill us countless times."

Ma Hongjun scratched his head, feeling that both sides seemed to have their reasons. He was very confused for a moment and simply spread his hands and said:

"You decide."

"That's true." Zhao Wuji scratched his head worriedly. He looked at the tired people in front of him, then looked at Chen Feng who had already escaped from the arms of the two girls, and asked:

"Chen Feng, what do you think?"

"I agree with Oscar's opinion. We are not in the condition to leave the Star Dou Forest now. It would be better for us to have a night's rest and recharge our energy." Chen Feng said.

"Okay then. It's a blessing in disguise. If it is a disaster, we can't avoid it. Let's set up camp and get back into shape first. I'll keep watch tonight." Zhao Wuji finally made a decision.

So everyone cleared a piece of land around them and started to set up camp.

After a while, Tang San suddenly opened his mouth and shouted:

"Everyone, be careful, there are soul beasts approaching!"

"Damn it, what's coming again?" Zhao Wuji was extremely annoyed by the series of unexpected events that had happened tonight. "Could it be that damn stinky gorilla again?"

Hearing this, Tang San's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said:
"Teacher Zhao, don't worry. It's not the Titan Ape. The soul beast that came here isn't very big. It must have just happened to pass by. However, the plants around here tell me that this soul beast seems to be able to discharge electricity."

"Can it discharge electricity?" Zhao Wuji raised his eyebrows. "A thunder-attributed soul beast?"

"I'm not too sure. The information given by the plant is very vague. I only know that it is roughly in that direction." Tang San pointed in a direction and said.

"I'll go check out the situation. You guys stay put." Zhao Wuji said.

Chen Feng quickly reminded:
"If it's a thunder-attributed soul beast, Teacher Zhao, remember not to hurt it. We still have experiments to do. If it's not, just chase it away."

"Don't worry, I don't have a hobby of killing soul beasts." Zhao Wuji threw down a sentence and rushed in the direction Tang San pointed.

After a while, he came over carrying a yellow creature about half a man's height, with a look of joy and confusion on his face.

"It's actually a lightning-attributed soul beast. It looks a bit like a lightning rat, but why does this little thing have wings?"

Has wings? Chen Feng looked at the creature in his hand and saw that the soul beast indeed had two relatively small wings on its back.

If Flash looks like Pikachu, then this spirit beast is more like an enlarged version of Patamon.

"Could this be... a flying thunder rat?" Chen Feng said in surprise.

"Flying Thunder Rat? What is that?" Zhao Wuji asked in confusion.

Chen Feng looked at the large "Badamon" and explained:

"The Flying Thunder Rat is an extremely rare mutant within the Swift Rat population. I've only come across a related record once, by chance, in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's collection. This mutant is stronger and smarter than ordinary Swift Rat rats. Once fully grown, it will inevitably become the leader of the group. I didn't expect to see it here."

The Monkey God gave him a surprise.

"So we've won the jackpot? After a night of bad luck, we finally have something good happen to us." Zhao Wuji's face showed joy. "Chen Feng, take a quick look. Is this Flying Thunder Rat suitable for you?"

Chen Feng walked behind the Flying Thunder Rat, took a look, and said:
"I only know that the age of a Swift Mouse is determined by the length of its tail. Judging by the Swift Mouse's standards, it should be around two thousand years old.

"But the Flying Thunder Rat is larger than the Lightning Rat, and its tail might be a bit longer as well. So it seems like it's less than two thousand years old, but the exact age is unclear."

"If you can't figure it out, forget it. As long as the age is about the same, it's fine." Zhao Wuji waved his hand and said, "When I passed by just now, it seemed to be looking for food. I scared it with my own breath and then caught it. This little guy is basically unharmed. You can do whatever experiments you want."

Chen Feng looked at the Flying Thunder Rat and found that there was indeed no scar on its body. It did not move even when Zhao Wuji grabbed its neck. It just looked at everyone with its black eyes, looking very smart.

Ma Hongjun came over at this time and said:
"Since it's looking for food, we can use food to lure it. I have some snacks here. Brother Feng, do you want to try it?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said:
"Compared to ordinary food, this kind of soul beast prefers things rich in elemental energy, such as this."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of Thunder Stone and handed it to Flying Thunder Mouse.

"Teacher Zhao, please let it go first. It shouldn't be able to escape from you."

Zhao Wuji let go of his hand as he was told, but still maintained the state of being possessed by the martial spirit, so that no matter what unusual movements the Flying Thunder Rat made, he could react as quickly as possible.

After being released, the Flying Thunder Rat showed no intention of running away, nor did it show any desire to attack. It simply stared at the Thunder Stone in Chen Feng's hand with a look of great desire. "Do you want this?" Chen Feng shook the Thunder Stone in his hand and said in a tempting tone, "As long as you cooperate with me and do one thing, these Thunder Stones are in large quantities."

When Flying Thunder Mouse heard his voice, his gaze shifted from the Thunder Element Stone to his face.

Seeing this, Chen Feng began to express his meaning through words and gestures.

He first released a little soul power with each of his hands, and then let them merge into one in front of the Flying Thunder Rat.

Then he pointed at Flying Thunder Mouse with one hand and at himself with the other, while still explaining non-stop, regardless of whether Flying Thunder Mouse could understand or not.

After he finished speaking and demonstrating, Chen Feng took out a large pile of Thunder Yuan Stones from the Blood Sky and placed them on the open space next to him.

He pointed at the thunder stones and then at the flying thunder rat.

"Do me a favor, and these will all be yours."

The Flying Thunder Rat took a look at the Thunder Yuan Stones, and a human-like look of enlightenment appeared on his face.

It stretched out its claws, released a little soul power, and then looked at Chen Feng.

Seeing this scene, Chen Feng was overjoyed.

As expected, it is an extremely rare mutant individual, its IQ is different.

He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and stretched out his hands towards the Flying Thunder Rat opposite him.

The Flying Thunder Rat also squatted down and placed its two little paws in Chen Feng's palms.

The man and the rat closed their eyes and began to release their soul power.

For this experiment, Chen Feng did not expect to complete it in one step, because he was not particularly clear about the nature of the soul skills in the soul ring.

So his plan was to first conduct a soul power fusion experiment to verify whether the soul master's promotion was the result of soul power fusion.

After verifying this, Chen Feng will explore the mystery of the soul skill.

This is a commonly used method in scientific research, which involves breaking down a difficult problem, verifying and overcoming it step by step, and ultimately achieving the research goal.

In Chen Feng's idea, if this soul power fusion experiment fails, there is naturally nothing to say. He can just change his thinking and redesign the experimental process.

If the experiment is successful, Chen Feng will be able to advance to level 31. It is still uncertain whether he will get a spirit ring. Even if he does, it will probably be a blank spirit ring.

If this situation occurs, Chen Feng will use traditional methods to hunt for soul rings to obtain his third soul skill. The two preparations he made before were for this purpose.

Of course, there is another possible situation.

That is, Chen Feng successfully advanced, but the third soul ring did not appear, or it appeared but was a blank soul ring, and he could no longer absorb soul skills for his third soul ring.

In this way, Chen Feng will always have one less soul skill than others.

If that's the case... then Chen Feng can actually accept it. He has already realized it and is ready to pay the price for the experiment.

In the past, scientists were willing to give up everything for the truth. Nobel almost blew himself up many times while researching explosives. Paul Hester took the initiative to inject himself with various snake venoms in order to research anti-snake venom. China also had the sage Shennong who tasted hundreds of herbs.

He just sacrificed a soul skill position, so what does it matter?
The reason why Chen Feng didn't plan to let Oscar do this experiment was because he was worried about the possible results of the experiment.

He himself is a scholar and does not rely much on martial arts to make a living. Moreover, he is an instrument-type combat soul master and is relatively less dependent on soul skills. It is not a big deal if he lacks a soul skill.

But as a food-type soul master who relies on soul skills for a living, it would be a huge sacrifice for Oscar if he lost a soul skill.

Moreover, other people might not be able to pay attention to all the details when doing this kind of experiment. After all, everyone in Douluo Continent knows the academic level, so Chen Feng thinks it is better to do it himself.

Before this experiment, he had already thought about various possibilities and was mentally prepared to pay the price.

In addition, Chen Feng also specially prepared soul power test crystals to detect whether his soul power has truly been upgraded to the next level.

Now everything is ready, and the soul power fusion experiment is about to begin.

Chen Feng and Fei Lei Shu sat on the ground facing each other, with their hands and claws pressed together. Everyone around them was amazed when they saw their actions.

"This flying thunder rat is so smart. It can actually understand what Chen Feng means." Ning Rongrong said in surprise.

"It's mainly because Chen Feng's gestures are very vivid. Even if you don't understand what he's saying, you can still understand the general idea just by watching his movements." Dai Mubai said, folding his arms.

Xiao Wu was also a little surprised. She only knew that there was a flying thunder rat with 30,000 years of cultivation in the Xingdou Great Forest, which was also the current leader of the lightning rat tribe. She didn't expect that another flying thunder rat was born at some point.

Calculating the time, this kind of special individual can be said to be rare in tens of millions of years, and the age of this flying thunder rat is just right for Chen Feng. He is really lucky.

At this time, Tang San was paying close attention to Chen Feng's condition. The start of this experiment could be said to be better than ever before, so whether Chen Feng's spirit ring concept was feasible should be known tonight.

But Chen Feng encountered a problem at this time. When he let his own soul power come into contact with the soul power of the Flying Thunder Rat, he immediately felt a familiar feeling.

He had this feeling before, when he absorbed spirit rings twice before.

However, just when Chen Feng wanted to absorb the Flying Thunder Rat's soul power into his body like he did when he absorbed the soul ring before, he found that the unique soul power of the opposite side could not be attracted at all.

Flying Thunder Rat's soul power is stronger, while his soul power is relatively weak. The only way to use the weak to attract the strong is for the strong one to lose self-awareness.

That is the traditional hunting and ring removal.

After failing to guide the soul power into his body, Chen Feng began to try to directly merge his soul power with that of the Flying Thunder Rat.

The attempt was successful, but Chen Feng felt something was wrong.

To make an analogy, it is like mixing sand and water together. On the surface, the two become one lump, but in fact, the sand is still sand and the water is still water.

It remains the same when it is apart as it was before it was put together.

Then this experiment cannot be considered a success.
