Chapter 1040 (1/2)
Although I was shocked by everything in front of me, I had to pretend that I couldn't see anything because our eyes were still blindfolded. Fortunately, after closing the entrance and camouflaged the stairs down, the crab man quickly untied our blindfold. Naturally, I pretended to be very surprised to show something in front of me.
What shocked all of us was not artificial buildings or natural wonders, but an exhibition hall like an animal exposition. There are so many species in the underground that we can't count.
We all have an auxiliary electronic brain, so it is not difficult for us to read a large number of readings. For example, if you grab a handful of rice and sprinkle it on the ground, normal people want to know how many grains of rice are there for half a day. However, we can know the exact number only by looking at it, and we can even tell how many of them have reached a certain proportion according to the requirements. According to the law, we can count the organisms at a glance, but the problem is that there are so many creatures here that I can't see them at a glance. I don't know how many creatures are out of the field of vision, so I can't figure out how many there are. I only know that there are more than 17 million individuals in the visual range.
With so many creatures gathered together, it's like a super zoo. No, it should be said that it's a super Herbarium, because all these creatures are blind and motionless. I couldn't hear their breath and heartbeat, and I couldn't feel them moving. They looked like cars in a parking lot.
Just before we could get over it, the three crab men who took us down came to the edge of three of the empty seats and lined up in the line backward. Just when I was going to ask them what they were going to do, these three guys climbed out of the big crabs' backs together. I was surprised to find that they still had two normal legs below their waist, and the big crabs were as apathetic as the creatures around them after they left.
Rose and I looked at each other in surprise, and we knew from each other's eyes that we had the same guess - these creatures here are all their mounts, or vehicles. I now understand why they are called parasites.
Rose leaned over and whispered, ”now I know why the Japanese want to cheat their trust.”
I hugged Rose's head in my arms, took the opportunity to whisper in her ear: ”if I had seen that I had cheated.”
”Yes.” Rose pretended to kiss me and whispered in my ear: ”I will try to dig them all back. This will be an extreme tactical force, one to one hundred.”
”Don't worry, I didn't spit out what was in my mouth.”
May came up and yelled, ”Hello! Why don't you two be so intimate in front of so many people and bully me for not having a girlfriend
Rose and I looked at may, and then we extended the ring of love together. ”See the double heart sign in the middle? The real marriage ring is the only real marriage certificate. What does it matter to you if I kiss my wife (husband)
”OK, OK, can't I disappear?” May flashed to one side.
Rose immediately protested and gave me another kiss. At the same time, she took the opportunity to say in my ear: ”it doesn't have to be a person. It's OK to get a manipulation method.”
Rose is so smart. In such a short period of time, she thought of the second plan if the first one didn't work. It seems that the way they get into these mounts is a kind of magic ability. If it is not the special magic of the clan, there may be a way to learn. As long as the technology can be brought back, there is no big problem whether the product is finished or not. We can grasp biology ourselves. The key is to learn how to use it.
The three parasitic people immediately came to us after jumping off the big crab. Their height seemed to be much higher than that of human beings. I stood next to him just a little below his chest.
”Come with me. I will take you to our patriarch.”
We nodded and followed quickly, and others were watching the strange creatures along the way, while rose and I were busy trying to catch up with them.
Rose made an ignorant girl's appearance and asked, ”I see you just took off the half of the crab's body. Is your body just two parts?”
The parasite immediately said with a smile, ”it's not my body, it's just a mount. We parasitoids can capture all kinds of creatures and use them as mounts
I quickly cut in and asked, ”can you change your mounts when you go out?”
”Of course.” The other side complacently replied, ”otherwise, do you think there are so many creatures here to look good? There are not so many people in our whole clan. These creatures are used to replace them according to the needs of different missions. However, we usually have our own special mounts. Riding other people's mounts will owe them gratitude. Most of the time, we catch them and use them ourselves. ””Don't you look like tribal heroes Asked the rose.
”Of course.” These parasite clan's several are obviously young people, is said by the rose immediately blood boiling. ”We are the people in our family who catch the most mount besides berry. In our place, riding is equal to high honor. The bigger the mount is, the more difficult it is to grasp, the more we can show our ability. Similarly, the combat effectiveness of powerful mount in battle is also a great help to us.”
As soon as rose saw that these guys were ready, she immediately beat the railway while it was hot: ”then how do you catch the mount? Are you going to fight it and kill it? ”
”Of course not.” The leader of the parasitic race said: ”if you kill me, you can't ride. You must live, and you must be healthy and strong. If you catch the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, you will only be ridiculed by the people.”
”That must be exciting. Tell me about it.” Rose continues to play its powerful charm advantage. In fact, there is no need for rose to work hard. Young guys like to show off their abilities in front of girls. When talking about their own specialties, they are more excited than anyone else. If you don't let them say that, they will be angry.
The three guys got caught right away and said, ”first of all, you have to choose a creature that you can handle. This is very important. If you choose a creature that is too much more than yourself, it's basically suicide. Of course, if you choose one of these creatures and you succeed unexpectedly, you will undoubtedly become a hero. ”
”It's exciting.” Rose poured a bucket of oil into the burning nerves of the three guys to help them get more excited.
Those guys scrambled to say, ”if you choose a monster, you have to leave it alone, or your capture may be disturbed by its companions. After that, you should be careful to get close to it and remember not to be found. Since you want to catch this mount, it must have some special skills. Unexpectedly, the target mount is very difficult to deal with. Therefore, it must be approached without any precautions. Once it becomes a frontal battle, it will be difficult to do. Of course, if you are strong enough, like us, it's OK to fight head-on. ”
”And after that? Are you going straight up to fight? ” Rose looked very excited.
”To fight is to fight, but not just to fight. It's mainly about control. To stabilize your target, it's best to be able to climb on its head, because the connection needs to enter their control center from here
”What about climbing up there?”
”After that, it's the hardest part. You have to put your legs on the guy's forehead, and then use the fusion magic to fuse yourself into its head. But you should be careful not to be thrown out in the process, and some creatures can reach their heads. You should be careful not to be caught in the middle and die.”
”Is it true that if the fusion is completed, we will catch it?”
”Not really. After that, just like taming a wild horse, ride on it to resist its struggle, and use its own willpower to clean up the other party's willpower, until it has completely wiped out its thoughts
”What if he's fighting hard? For example, their spirit is very strong. What if they kill you in turn? ”
”The fusion mantra is not a fake. If you can't erase the other person's mind, it won't be erased. However, once there are creatures that can't be erased, you have to run quickly, because the fusion mantra can paralyze the other party for more than ten seconds after you leave. During this period of time, if you can run away, you will be safe. Of course, we will choose to consider the strength of each other's mental strength before catching them. No one will be stupid enough to catch super creatures whose mental strength surpasses their own by a large part? ”
Rose secretly made a V sign to me. These idiots have no sense of self-protection, so we've caught their racial expertise.
Rose continued to work hard and said, ”your fusion mantra is really powerful. The person who wrote it must be very great.”
”I don't know, but I think so. Most people can't think of such a powerful spell. ” The three guys said, ”without this magic, our race doesn't know how to be bullied.”
Rose is really powerful, easily got the most important information, it seems that this ability is not a racial talent, but a kind of magic, so that everyone can learn, which is very important to us. If this is their ethnic talent, we must win over their whole clan, at least most of them, and can only provide limited help. If it's magic, it's different. We just have to buy up any one of the whole clan who can do this magic. As long as we get the magic and go back, we can teach the whole guild, and the use value will be great More.
As we spoke, we had passed through the place where the creatures were sitting, and down a staircase, as if we had entered another world. Instead of the bare rock world above, it's a green world. The cave is still a cave, but the walls and the top of the cave are completely covered by a kind of luminous green vine, which looks quite fantastic.
”How about it? Isn't it beautiful here? ”
We all nodded unconsciously. ”It's beautiful. These plants emit their own light. What do they rely on to get their energy? ””Energy? What energy? ”
”Don't you understand?” I was surprised. ”What about nutrition? Plants need to absorb nutrients, and then through photosynthesis, they can produce enough material. However, there is no sunlight here, and they can also emit light. In this way, the energy loss is too large. What do they rely on to live on? ”
”Oh, that's what you're talking about.” One parasite said, ”they absorb heat, and there's a lava river down here. The vine absorbs the heat of the magma, and then it grows fruit to provide food and light for us
”What a wonderful plant it is!” I quietly pasted it to Rose's ear and whispered, ”I'll try to get some seeds to take back later.”
As far as we speak, a lot of villagers have gathered nearby. In our opinion, their height is very strange, but in their view, we are also very strange, so both sides regard each other as precious animals.
”This is where our patriarch and wizard live together.” The crab man who led the way before pointed to a cave beside the main passage and introduced it to us. ”Come in with me.”
After he entered the cave, he found that the layout inside was very strange. Compared with the dreamy environment full of green outside, it was hell. The walls were full of strange animal skulls. On the ground, some strange symbols were painted with dark red paint. In a word, it looked like a cannibal restaurant.
In the deepest part of the cave, there are two things like doors, but there are only curtains, no door panels. Speaking of this road, I really haven't seen any family with door panels. Maybe the people here are simple and honest, and there are no thieves.
The big man who led the way yelled something inside. The content was not the language of their family, but seemed to be some specific language, so my translation system could not track the translation. The shouting ended and the two curtains were lifted at the same time. From behind the curtain on the left came a super big man half a head taller than the guy leading the way. This guy is also a suit of armor, but the style is completely different from the one who leads the way. It suddenly occurred to me that the equipment of this clan seemed strange. Their people seem to be wearing simple woven fabrics. Obviously, their industrial level is still extremely backward. However, their armor seems to represent a high level of forging technology. However, the problem is that the equipment seems to be very mismatched, and there is almost no duplicate. Based on all this, I can draw a conclusion that their equipment was not made by themselves, but stolen.
Obviously, this giant guy should be the patriarch, but compared with his image, the one from the next door has more characteristics. This guy in a hedgehog robe is less than my height. It's really special to have such a small individual in this giant family. Of course, apart from his height, this guy's clothes and decorations are so different that I can't even determine his gender.
The man who brought us in saluted them and introduced me and rose to them. In the introduction, we finally confirmed that these two are indeed clan leaders and witches.
