Chapter 41: Embryonic Body
"City of Waiting", Alchemy Laboratory, 2nd floor.
Three humanoid flesh () clumps stood against the wall. They are 1.7 meters tall, the same size as ordinary people, with an opaque milky white appearance, elastic surface, no facial features, no body hair, no fingers and toes, and no endoskeleton...... To put it bluntly, it's just a dough with a human shape and no edges, which is not scary at all from the outside, but is so cute that people can't associate it with a necromantic creature at all. Of course, judging from the attributes that Qing Yi saw, these three "dough children" really can't be regarded as necromantic creatures, and even the word "creature" is barely qualified.
Embryo Body: Level 0, Alchemical Creature (Necromancy). Its body is a mixture of the flesh and blood of a large number of necromantic creatures, and there is a soul fire in its body that has no spiritual imprint, which is the product of alchemy that does not even have instinct, and is more like a "container" than a "living thing". After training, you may be able to develop instinct or a sense of battle. It has a strong learning ability, resistance to blows and recovery ability, and is the best experimental product. Although it is very weak now, it has great potential, and I don't know what kind of existence it will evolve into. Good skills include [Parody Show]. When attacked by a Necrocyctonic creature, damage is reduced by 50%.
"What, it's actually a product of alchemy?" Fermat was dumbfounded, and a man muttered beside him, "I wouldn't have asked him to borrow the cauldron if I had known...... Wouldn't it be better if I found a few parts to put on my own? β
Qingyi glared at him: "Be careful! You have to learn to work together, you know? Not like a man! β
"Understand ......" Fermat said reluctantly, "but with this bookworm......"
Qingyi didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, and turned to Strunm: "What do you think?" β
"Your Majesty, I want to take one and do an experiment!" Strunm grabbed Qingyi's sleeves tightly with both hands, his eyes were watery, and he had a posture of "cry if you don't agree": "In alchemy, the field of using necromantic creatures as materials is still blank!" In this experiment, a concept came to my mind...... So I need more information to prove it, and this embryo body is the best experiment! β
Fermat, who was thinking in the corner, reacted, and quickly grabbed Qingyi's other sleeve, and said unrelentingly: "Your Majesty! There are three embryos here, so give me one if you say anything! "Well, he doesn't even have a reason, what's the difference between it and a hard robbery?! β¦β¦
"Your Majesty! The possibilities of this embryo body are endless, and there may be epoch-making discoveries in the research! Such a precious experimental product must not be wasted by a layman! β
"Your Majesty! Do you need to have your shoes touched? β
"Your Majesty'......"
"Hey, that's enough!" Qingyi struggled to break free from his two subordinates, he was afraid that if he didn't break free, he would have to be torn in half. He tidied up his crumpled clothes and sighed angrily: "One person at a time, it's always okay, right?" The other is in my own custody. Well, they have to be named ...... 'Embryo Body I.', 'Embryo Body II.' and 'Embryo Body III.'. Strom, 'Embryonic Body I' is yours, 'Embryonic Body II' is Fermat's. β
The two subordinates resignedly agreed. Strunm patted the embryonic body that belonged to him, and suddenly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty! Can you give me another one for a group comparisonβ"
Qingyi couldn't help but smash the thing in his hand.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The experiment on the embryo body was carried out in the Colosseum, and the test subject was the "Embryo Body III" belonging to Walterpole Cullen - this old boy was begging for nothing, and he just got the last embryo from Qingyi's hands, and at this time he began to [brutally train] with great interest.
"Such a precious experimental object, how can you use this level of training method in the first place?" Strom's face was "You are too violent", and the painful expression was like seeing his son being slapped.
Qingyi doesn't matter. Originally, he didn't think about what to do with "Embryo Body III", so he made a favor and handed it over to Walter Poyler. Since [Cruel Training] can make a Necromantic Chimera, it is not uncommon to make something more.
The embryonic body stood silently, motionless. Opposite it was a skeleton soldier, still the worst kind, weak and windy, staggering even if it stood on the ground, and seemed to fall down with a push.
"Go, baby!" Waterpole swung his whip.
β¦β¦
"Embryo III." remained motionless, but the skeleton soldier walked over step by step (because the sword in his hand was heavier, causing his body to be unbalanced).
"Moving?" Walter Pole was in a hurry and whipped the "Embryo Body III" hard, but the other party did not respond.
"It's useless, the soul fire of the embryo body is extremely pure, there is no spiritual imprint, not even instinct. I suspect that even if it were thrown into the sun, it would not know how to run away, but would just stand until it dissipated. Fermat shook his head, looking at the body with the eyes of admiration. Training in a combat style is really not ideal. β
"It's true that although it uses necromantic creatures as material, it doesn't have the value of 'the strong are respected', and even if it meets His Majesty, it will not show loyalty...... It's easy to anger a higher-level necromantic creature than it and provoke death. Strunm also lamented sadly.
The two listened to each other's opinions, looked at each other, first smiled, then smiled, and each twisted their faces, with a "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you" style. Seeing this, Qingyi was angry and funny: these two guys are both high-level NPCs, why are they still as vindictive as children?
As he spoke, the skeleton soldier had already walked up to Embryo III and raised his rusty sword, but Embryo III remained sluggish.
Qingyi concentrated.
The skeleton soldier slashed at the body of the "Embryo Body III." with a sword, but it was like chopping a piece of rubber, but it was dented and bounced back with the same force. "Embryo III" does not even have a slight wound on the outside, as if it was not attacked just now - this is the characteristic of the embryo body: when attacked by a necromantic creature, the damage is reduced by 50%!
"Interesting!" Qingyi was a little surprised.
It took two seconds for the sluggish skeleton to react and slash at the Embryo III. One sword, two swords...... "Embryo Body III" retreated one after another, and even fell to the ground at once.
Waltpole said angrily: "Get up! He whipped it a few more times. The skeleton soldier did not stop attacking, bending down and continuing to chop, as if he had a common enmity with the "Embryo Body III".
γParody Showγ......
When attacked, the "right hand" (let's call it) of "Embryo III" gradually changed into a sword. It also learns the movements of the skeleton soldiers, and slashes forward, slashing the skeleton soldiers, one sword, two swords...... After a few back and forth, the skeleton soldier, which already had a small amount of health, had to dissipate. On the other hand, "Embryo III" stood up and walked like a skeleton soldier, and made a chopping motion with his right hand, which was very funny. Looking at it again, it's already level 1.
From level 0 to level 1, all it takes is one battle?! β¦β¦
"Next." Qingyi Road.
Walter Poyler hurriedly opened the iron gate at the bottom of the Colosseum and released a ghost wolf. This time, he didn't bother to whip the "Embryo Body III", and stared nervously at the middle of the field, his eyes unblinking.
I don't know if it was locked up for too long, but the ghost wolf jumped out of the floodgate, and in two turns, he pounced on the "embryo body III" and bit the neck of the "dough" fiercely.
"It's useless, the embryo body is harmless, unless it can attack its soul fire, it is invincible." Stram said, pulling out a notebook and jerning notes.
The ghost wolf's whole body hung on the body of the embryo, like clothes. "Embryo Body III" was at a loss, so he could only keep slashing the ghost wolf, but the opponent's semi-ghost body was immune to physical damage. After a few moments, the "face" of "Embryo Body III" suddenly tore apart, conjuring up a mouth full of sharp teeth. Its neck stretched out like a snake, and its head was on the ghost wolf, and it also bit the ghost wolf's neck. The ghost wolf was in pain, and his paws were picking at the body of "Embryo Body III", but he could not get rid of it, and he died three minutes later.
And "Embryonic Body III." was upgraded to Level 2.
"Next." Qingyi Road.
The new ones are still ghost wolves. It looked at the corpse of its companion and began to be cautious, going around the back of the "Embryo Body III", but who knew that the "Embryo Body III" had no positive and negative statements, and it didn't even need to turn around, and it bit the ghost wolf to death, which was simply a copy of the previous battle. "Embryonic Body III" has been upgraded to Level 3.
"Next." Qingyi Road.
Ghost Hound. "Embryonic Body III" has a muscle outline on the body surface and has been upgraded to grade 5.
Corpse. "Embryonic Body III" appeared with fingers, learned to break the opponent's joints, and did not upgrade.
Rotting vultures. "Embryonic Body III" grew wings and was promoted to level 6.
Nocturnal peregrine falcon. "Embryo Body III" learned to detour and dash in the air, and rose to level 9.
Skeleton archers. "Embryo III" conjured a bow and arrow, but did not upgrade.
β¦β¦
After each battle, the embryo body will change back to its original "dough", and in the next battle, the [Parody Show] will be activated faster and faster, and sometimes as soon as the opponent appears, it will be able to sense the opponent's battle type and make corresponding changes within a second. However, at the foot of the "dough" is a pile of corpses, which always feels weird, and you can imagine a rag doll being placed on top of a large pile of fresh meat.
"Good. I'll ask Frankie to come over and give the Embryo Body III a special training in a moment. Qingyi said, turning to leave.
Walter Poyler's face was about to bloom with a smile. He swaggered up to Fermat and Strom and winked, "How is it?" Do you want to give me that one of you for training? I promise I won't break it! β
"Don't! This is a precious material for experimentation, and of course it is necessary to use alchemy to do experiments! ("How can that?!") This is a precious embryo that must be forged! βοΌ
The two blurted out, looked at each other, and snorted heavily.
