Chapter 66: The Experiment Fails
If you ask what the lowest-level monster in "Qiankun" is, it is a large number of very common ones that appear near the novice village: small snakes, white worms, slimes, beetle beasts, etc. Although they are weak, they make up for it: their vitality is tenacious, they can change in any environment, and then survive and reproduce. Take slimes, for example.
Slimes are a long-standing genre in Western-style games.
This monster is like jelly, generally fruit green, lumpy, the nature of the body is gelatinous, can change shape like plasticine, from a certain angle it looks quite cute; It can deform at will because its body is 95% water, so it cannot live in a completely waterless place. It is a mollusk organism that has no sex and differentiates individuals by dividing and reproducing; It only has photoreceptor glands and olfactory cells, so it has the habit of gravitating towards light and water sources; There will be colorless mucus wherever it passes; It likes to eat plants or other water-rich things, so it is regarded as a "pest" that attacks crops in many places, and the farmer in the novice village will issue tens of millions of quests for adventurers to kill them; It has a docile personality and is not aggressive; It likes to live in the shade and will be active on rainy days. It turns into pure minerals and water after death, and it is extremely difficult to leave a body.
In various maps in "Qiankun", you can see the figure of slimes. In the sea, bluewater slimes float like jellyfish; In the atmosphere, there are also wind-chasing slimes that rely on membranes and move with the wind; In wetland swamps, there are also black mud slimes with ferns growing on their bodies; In the desert, there are even Shabei slimes, which only appear during the rainy season...... It can be seen that slimes are tenacious creatures with such vitality that their footprints are all over the world, and they may even be found in the other world.
————————————————————————————————————
On Qingyi's way to the alchemy laboratory, Strom kept telling about the experiment and justifying himself.
Ever since the tissue fluid sample was taken from the Embryonic Body I that day, Strom has been frantically engaged in experiments and research. What happens if you sprinkle in ghost wolf phosphor powder? What about dripping acid rain? What about heating with a soul flame? …… Any material that Strom could find was used for experiment-by-experiment, and any chemical reactions that were either normal or beyond imagination were taken into account. After many times of stimulation, the interstitial fluid finally evolved into a new species, just as a single-celled organism evolved into a multicellular organism.
Originally, this was not a failure, but even a success. After Strom got this new species, he was overjoyed and ran to the City Lord's Mansion to find Qingyi to report the good news; But at that time, Qingyi and Pang Shui Yishan went to brush up on honor points together, and they were not in the "City of Waiting", so Strunum returned to the alchemy laboratory. But he only then discovered that after the experiment, he was careless in not sealing the petri dish; The new species crawled out of the petri dish and, somehow, devoured the "Embryo Body I.", which was still tied to the experimental table; The worst thing is that the embryo body has no "instinct" at all, and even if it is attacked, it does not know how to escape! So, when Strunm rushed back......
Hearing this, Qingyi had also come to the alchemy laboratory. The door was still open, so he could see at a glance a huge, ugly, disgusting, wriggling, twisted, grotesque ......
"What is this!!" Qingyi shouted wildly.
This thing was five meters tall and should have been in the cauldron, but it had knocked over the cauldron and slowly flowed out. It was like a collection of corpses and carrion, a horrible, warm-toned, opaque gelatinous form, flowing and rolling. Its surface is not smooth, with many bumps and textures. The bulges are arms or thighs, or ribs or internal organs; The texture is a combination of carrion and internal organs, which is as difficult to describe as an abstract painting, and people who have never seen this kind of thing can never imagine that after mixing flesh and blood into a paste, such a texture can be presented. The strong smell of corpses and blood filled the air, and the smell could make even the determined have stomach cramps. As it rolled, several dead faces flipped out of the gelatin, facing Qingyi head-on, and quickly flipped back into the gelatin, leaving only a faint shadow.
"It's a Flesh Slime!" Strunm shouted. Although he was a little anxious when he looked at this huge mixture, his eyes still unconsciously revealed a trace of pride and joy.
The Flesh Slime paused, then swelled, agitated, deformed and twisted, and pounced on Qingyi! Because of its excessive movements, the faces and limbs of the dead people on its body were torn apart and twisted into parts of the lines. Pieces of internal organs fell from it, making a crisp crackling sound on the ground.
"I don't want to be food for this thing." Qing Yi said coldly, and the soul fluctuations unique to the Necromantic King were released. After being intimidated by the superiors, the Flesh Slime whimpered and disintegrated from it, only bypassing Qingyi and Strom, sliding through both sides, and gathering together outside the door of the alchemy laboratory. Despite this, in Qingyi's [Soul Force Field], it was still shivering, and its internal organs and bones were constantly falling, similar to a chicken that had been scalded by boiling water.
"Oh, Your Majesty, don't blame it! It's just hungry, and it has no ill will towards Your Majesty! I promise it won't offend Your Majesty again! Seeing this, Strunm quickly pleaded.
gave this thing a fierce glare, Qingyi flicked his sleeves, and went up to the second floor: "Let's go and see the 'embryo body I.'." But Strom was secretly relieved, it seemed that His Majesty was not really angry.
"Embryonic Body I." has changed beyond recognition. It turned into a bottle of tissue fluid, which was contained in a large specimen bottle, and it was like stagnant water. According to Strom, by the time he rushed back to the alchemy lab, the Flesh Slime had already eaten 55% of the "Embryo Body I.", and the rest of the body could no longer maintain its human form, and the structure collapsed, and it melted into such a puddle of tissue fluid. In other words, "Embryo Body I" gave up other opportunities for evolution and became a flesh slime.
"Is it worth it? …… No matter how you look at it, it's a big loss. Qingyi frowned, and while going down the stairs, he pondered carefully. Afraid that His Majesty would blame him, Strunm followed His Majesty step by step, always smiling, like a grandson.
Walking to the gate, Qingyi looked at the open space in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Where did it go?" He opened the [Soul Eye] and casually swept it into the distance, only to find that something was wrong, and exclaimed, "What is it doing?!" ”
At the corner of the street, on the road leading to the prison, pedestrians were already in a crowd. Originally, a group of skeleton soldiers was carrying the corpses and wanted to send them to prison to be used as fertilizer for Jack Rainbow, but the Flesh Slime smelled the rancid smell and rolled forward unstoppably, intercepting the team halfway. It pounced on the corpse, and when it rolled again, it made a twisting and tearing sound in its body, shattering the corpse inch by inch. After a short time, several corpses became part of its body, and it was difficult to restore them. After eating and drinking, the guy slowly contracted his body and lost his aggressive tendency.
"Hey, host, this foodie has completely messed up the normal order of the city, what should I do? Do you want to throw it into the sea of bones and let it fend for itself? When Qingyi arrived at the scene, Xue Duo insidiously made suggestions.
"This, how can this be!" Strunm panicked, ran in front of the Flesh Slime, and opened his arms: "Your Majesty, think twice!" ”
Three, your system!
Qingyi scolded angrily, and was about to make a decision, when the flesh slime grunted, and suddenly turned into an extremely heavy wave of flesh and mud, and threw himself on Strom's head! Qingyi is really anxious this time, if something happens to Strunm, where will he cry!
Bite!
System Tip: A new necromantic species has appeared in your territory: the Flesh Slime.
The waves of flesh broke up and became a lump of rotten meat the size of a winter melon. Instead of gathering together, the rotten flesh squirmed, fleeing in all directions, licking the ground clean of the minced flesh and blood. In less than ten seconds, the street has been completely renovated and clean! Stram hugged the few flesh slimes attached to his body, and laughed: "Your Majesty, look! They can act as city cleaners too! ”
Seeing that Strunm was fine, Qingyi calmed down. But he still deliberately kept a straight face and scolded: "I think this cleaner should clean himself first, right?" They are also too ugly and affect the appearance of the city! ”
Flesh Slime: Level 30, mollusk (necromancy). Although the name has the word "slime" in it, it is not yet possible to tell that it is related to the slime. Its body is 50% water, and the rest is still active tissue (made up of dead cells) that is no longer active. With the soul fire as the core of the activity, the absorbed matter cannot be decomposed and digested, so it can only accumulate in the body, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it will split. He only likes to eat flesh and blood. Although he was greedy, he didn't dare to offend the superiors. After many splits, the soul fire will become weak, so it will be on the verge of collapse when feared, and it is said that some individuals have been frightened by the superior to dissipate alive. Skillful skills include [Broken Tail], [Corpse Poison Spray], and [Precious Legacy]. When not in combat, restores 60 HP per minute.
"Don't laugh so much just yet." Qingyi reminded Strom, who was smiling like a retarded person: "Do you remember how many embryos we have?" ”
"Well, there are three of them. What's the matter, Your Majesty? ”
"That's right. You have the 'Embryo Body I' for alchemy experiments, Fermat the 'Embryo II' for the Crafting Technology experiment, and Wattpole for the Embryo III for combat training. At present, your embryonic body has structurally collapsed, and Walter Poyler's has mysteriously disappeared. With our current technology, there is no way to make a spare embryo body. That is to say......"
Qingyi looked in the direction of the handicraft workshop, and his tone was unpredictable: "The embryo body in Fermat's hand is already a lonely. ”
