Chapter 51: Unpleasant
The sound of killing shook the sky.
Qingyi did not go out to fight in person, but walked quickly to the prison. He was very concerned about the system prompt when he entered the city, since there was a sword-nosed tarantula, then it must be a change from the death-phase spider, that is, the sword-nosed tarantula inhabited the prison.
But when he came to the prison, Qingyi was taken aback: Is this a prison or a flower garden? The prison gate seemed to be open, with a few tall man-eating flowers on the left and right; Beneath the man-eating flowers are clumps of gray-green mutant weeds, the blades of which point straight and straight in all directions, like a sharp sword; The vines covered with blood-red buds climbed the lintel and drooped down again, like a sparse curtain, swaying when the wind blew, so beautiful, and dripping strings of blood-stained flower juice.
Xue Duowei shouted: "Host, the environment of this prison is better than the City Lord's Mansion!" ”
"I don't want to live in such a weird place." Qingyi had a cold face, used his scepter to open the vines, and walked into the prison.
There were not many differences along the way from when they came before, except that those luminous vesicles became much denser, and when Qingyi accidentally touched one, countless tiny seeds that emitted a glimmer of light radiated from it, and followed the air current, like a flickering wind—except for the word "strip", Qingyi really couldn't find any other words to describe this strange landscape—and floated towards the prison gate. On a whim, Qingyi broke a few vesicles one after another, and there were miniature Milky Ways flowing by him, which seemed to be real and illusory, and was beautiful.
However, the sword-kissed tarantulas who are eyeing them on the side are really striking. They are completely different from their close relatives, dead spiders, with a more robust body, the size of a normal dog, and eight hairy legs; The whole body is pitch black, and there are several intermittent white lines on the abdomen, like a row of ribs; Its mouthparts are massive, like parted scissors (and the kind used against steel - call it a vice), and the cold light flickers and makes people feel frightened; For some reason, they have no eyes and can only use the fluff on their legs to detect targets (food or enemies). Qingyi was a little unhappy, because when he poked the vesicles, these sword-kissed tarantulas surrounded him very unceremoniously, and their mouthparts were grinding, like a policeman taking out handcuffs. Although they don't have eyes, Qingyi can clearly feel that they are watching out for themselves.
It's so funny...... Born in the "City of Waiting", do you need to watch out for me?! Qingyi frowned, looked at the attributes of the sword-kissed tarantula, and had more doubts in his heart.
Swordnose Tarantula: Level 30, insect (half-necromancy). Prefers dark, damp places with funnel-shaped cobwebs. Although it's a carnivorous monster, it loves the aroma of demonic plants, and often designates its nest near demonic plants. After eating, it can reproduce on its own, but if it is left away from the demonized plant for too long, the reproductive organs will degenerate. Known for its powerful mouthparts, it is a well-deserved ruthless defender, but the price of high combat effectiveness is the lack of ability to weave nets. Because the head is too strong, the abdomen is large to maintain the center of gravity of the body. Good skills are [Black Sword Strike] [Low Profile]. When in the vicinity of a demonic plant, Attack is increased by 20%, otherwise Attack is reduced by 20%.
It's very demanding on the terrain, so do you dare to pose at me for a few demonic plants? Qingyi sneered, didn't speak, and moved forward with his head held high.
In the prison cells on both sides, you can see a silk column that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and hollow in the middle, shaped like a funnel, with varying heights (the tallest is only up to a person's knee), but no matter how tall or short, the hollow can still accommodate a sword-nosed tarantula, which is their spider web. Unlike the webs of the dead-phase spiders, these funnel webs overlap dozens or even dozens of layers of spider silk, which are not light enough and more than tenacious, and even if the sword-nosed tarantula crawls in and out, it will not be rigidly deformed (meaning irreversible morphological changes). The cobwebs are clinging to the pods and leaves of many demonic plants, and these miscellaneous items are also ingeniously formed into beautiful patterns. It seems that spiders are really ingenious, even the sword-kissed tarantula that is not strong in web-weaving ability is very artistic.
Walking into the dungeon, Qingyi saw a different scene.
Compared to before, that strange plant was already very huge, so much higher than Qingyi. The progress bar on top of it is 100% and seems to have grown to a critical stage. Even though there was little air movement in the dungeon, the strange plants still swayed slightly and rhythmically, as if they were breathing, which was really weird. More than a dozen sword-snouted tarantulas loyally guarded the strange plants, which made Qingyi even more unhappy.
Suddenly, the strange plant let out a scream, and the sword-kissed tarantula rolled on the ground! It glowed with a brilliant green glow, like the sun, illuminating the dungeon into a small green world. The floor tiles were shattered inch by inch, the earth was tumbling up, and then the thick vines rolled in all directions like a wild dragon, and the iron railings of each single room were bent by the vines!
"Holy, plants will go crazy too? Host, your world is truly special. Xue Duo snorted and launched the [Black Blade Gyrophone]. Not to be outdone, the shadow cut off the vines that were approaching Qingyi.
The screaming continued for more than ten seconds before it stopped, but by this time the strange plants had withered, the vines had dried up, the leaves had withered, and even the ground near the roots had turned dead gray. The sword-nosed tarantulas easily got up (due to the exaggerated mouthparts) and looked left and right in a panic, not knowing what was happening.
Xue Duohaha laughed: "Host, it seems that you are not a good gardener!" I didn't mean to make fun of you, don't get me wrong! ”
"What's my business? I don't like being a gardener. By the way, it's not dead yet. Qingyi shook his head, as the king of necromancy, he would only judge whether a target was still alive from his anger, and would not be deceived by appearances. The Soul Eye opened, and the world became a void space again, and everything was soaked in pink. In the soil in front of him, a red soul fire representing living beings was flickering and extinguishing.
Qingyi's face changed.
As his soul power increases (the stat points that come with a level increase), his skills also increase and are strengthened to a new level. Taking [Soul Eye] as an example, the soul horizon he can see now is the size of an entire city, which is quite unnatural in terms of detection spells. In other words, as long as he stands here, he can see everything in the "City of Waiting".
But......
Everything in his eyes was wrapped in a faint pink, indicating that the "City of Waiting" was in the soul force field emitted by a certain soul fire, and the soul fire belonged to the living creature - this half-dead strange plant in front of him! Probably it was by spreading the roots in all directions that the soul force field could be expanded so large!
"It's rare for a demonic plant to evolve into a demonic beast and have a soul." Qingyi said to the withered strange plant. "What's more, you also stole the soul force field of my necromantic creature, hehe."
"Give me the corpse ......"
The sound came from underground, so muffled that it was almost inaudible. As the ground shook slightly, a pointed drill bit protruded from the soil, and it actually rotated to drill the dirt out of the ground. In an instant, there was a bamboo shoot-shaped green object on the ground, and it had layers of threads, no, it wasn't threads...... When it spread along the lines, Qingyi realized: it turned out that these were two newborn vines, which were twisted to form the shape of a drill bit!
As the ground broke, more vines scrambled out, and several of them pounced on Qingyi, menacing.
"Aha! Uncle Ben is not a masochist, he doesn't like tentacles at all, you're looking for the wrong person. Xue Duo sneered and waved his shadow blade at the vines. As if stung by a scorpion, the vines quickly bypassed Qingyi, and searched everywhere before they stopped. The voice said, "Where is the body?" I need nourishment, hurry up and give it to me! ”
"Do you know who you're talking to?"
Xue Duo turned into a shadow throne, Qingyi Shi Shiran sat down and asked.
"I know, you're the Necromantic King...... But what tone do you want me to speak? Remember, I'm not a necromancy, so why should I submit to you? ”
A seedling slowly rises in the arch of the vines, pulls up, pulls up, leaves, blossoms - and grows into a flower in a matter of seconds. It's not accurate to say that it is a flower, after all, there is no flower like this in nature. Its leaves are thick, its rhizomes are thick and strong, and its petals are a thousand heavy, a bit like cosmos; The heart of the flower alone is the size of a wheel, and the stamens are pure gold, each with a different color, which can be described as colorful, dazzling and dazzling. It has no facial features, and it doesn't know how it speaks: "True, I live in your city, but don't expect to buy me with this." ”
Hearing such an answer, Qingyi was not surprised, after all, this guy's attributes are like this:
Jack of the Thousand Colored Flowers: Level 41, Demonized Plant. The King of Demonic Plants, who was born in the realm of the dead, actually extracted the fragments of the spiritual imprint from the massive resentment when absorbing the death qi, gained wisdom, and even possessed the soul fire. It does not get close to anyone except its mother (the earth) and its siblings (the demonic plant). Birds and insects are seen as slaves. dislike the traditional food chain, believing that plants can stand higher than animals; There is a strong racial discrimination against necromantic creatures, believing that dead things should be obediently turned into fertilizer. Can command most plants, birds, and insects. The skills he specializes in are [Vine Drill], [Seed Shotgun], [Pollen Therapy], [Calyx Block], and [Over-Extraction]. Shares life with plants, giving them a 1% increase in maximum health (2% for intermediate, 5% for advanced, 9% for heroes, and up to 100% for each plant in their soul field). Natural magic gains a 1% bonus (up to a maximum of 50%).
"It's ironic that the 'wisdom' that the Gluttony Queen has been longing for for a long time will actually appear in you." Qingyi sighed leisurely.
"What did you say?" Jack wondered.
"It's nothing, it's just that I remembered some old person." Qingyi snorted: "It seems that you can control all the demonic plants in the city?" ”
"It's not just demonic plants, all plants are fine, it's just that you can only grow demonic plants in this city." Jack corrected unceremoniously. Its tone suddenly deepened: "No, not all...... At least, the withered tree, hum. ”
It seems that although you have wisdom, you have not yet learned to lie and conceal. Qingyi grinned, turned around and left.
"I can monitor every move in the city by enchanting plants. Throw the corpse in jail on time in the future, and if you can't, I can't guarantee that the demonic plants won't get you into trouble. ”
Hearing this voice, Qingyi didn't stop at all, and Xue Duo muttered: "Fool, who do you think you are negotiating with, that is a perverted host that even Uncle Ben is ashamed of!" ”
Jack's voice caught up again: "Necromantic King, as long as you can provide fertilizer, I can assist you in this aspect of city defense." Think about it. ”
Qingyi's shadow has disappeared on the stairs.
