Light Spring Murmur
Chapter 249: Locked in the Dark Room
Every time I recover from near death, I can more efficiently improve my physique?
Isn't this tailor-made for Eleven!
It actually dares to fight so hard in daily training!
At this moment, Shi Yu really began to believe that Eleven had the Panda King bloodline.
Does a normal Iron-eating Beast have this will?
Perhaps Eleven can be so ferocious not only because of its experiences, but also because the weak Panda King bloodline has also influenced it.
It's no wonder it was able to gain something at the Evolutionary Holy Spring.
"Coach? Never mind, let me think about it."
Chong Xuan muttered to himself, wondering how to awaken the royal bloodline.
This awakening method was researched by the tribe that commanded the Iron-eating Beast Legion.
Although it had also learned about it, it couldn't really remember it clearly and had to recall it carefully.
"Let me think..."
Five minutes passed.
Chong Xuan was still thinking.
This caused the Panda King Eleven beside it to start experimenting with Bean Transformation into Soldiers.
After a moment, ten silly little Iron-eating Beasts were separated out, and at the same time, Eleven looked weak.
"Ying!" "Ying!" "Ying!"
The ten little Iron-eating Beasts looked at Eleven, ying-ing in the sky, one after another, causing Eleven to fall silent.
"Aow!" It glared at the little Iron-eating Beast Legion.
It felt like this skill wasn't very strong.
Each little Iron-eating Beast was in the normal Iron-eating Beast form.
Moreover, they only inherited Eleven's racial skills below the transcendent level.
For example, Hardening, Gigantification, Electromagnetic Levitation, Accumulating Lightning, Fortified Defense...
Skills like High-Speed Healing, Super Vision, and Lightning Palm were not inherited.
Moreover, the proficiency of the inherited racial skills was only at the mastery level.
The only thing that made Eleven feel gratified was that the energy value of each little Iron-eating Beast was ridiculously high, reaching more than 40,000.
Each one was comparable to a monarch-level commander-level ferocious beast.
Ten of them together were equivalent to a monarch-level commander-level battle beast squad.
However, condensing them also directly consumed Eleven's stamina.
Eleven's hundreds of thousands of energy points were instantly depleted.
Although the total energy value of these ten little Iron-eating Beasts reached more than 400,000, which was more than Eleven consumed, it was so useless.
Eleven felt that even if they all went together, they might not be as combat-effective as it fighting personally.
With this energy consumption, wouldn't it be invincible if it used a hundred-meter Lightning Palm?
Next, Eleven began to draw energy from the source of stamina, gradually recovering from its weak state and becoming energetic again.
"Ying ying ying."
Eleven looked at Shi Yu, feeling that the transcendent skill was too weak and not as powerful as other transcendent skills.
"How is it useless? It's explosively strong, okay?" Shi Yu said after a moment of silence beside him.
This was only the beginner level of Bean Transformation into Soldiers.
This might be Eleven's strongest transcendent skill.
Since it was said to be a legion, it would definitely be able to condense more in the future when the skill proficiency was high, such as hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands...
Moreover, the ability inheritance degree would increase with the improvement of Bean Transformation into Soldiers proficiency...
If one day, it could unlock the inheritance of the Jiuli Form and inherit transcendent racial skills, and each individual in the legion had a combination of Accumulating Lightning + Hidden Edge + Lightning Rod, it would be an invincible lightning storm legion.
Their own energy value could be ignored, relying on attracting the power of heavenly lightning!
Relying on the endless source of heavenly lightning energy, coupled with Gigantification, it would be a monster legion.
Moreover, if it could inherit higher skill proficiency in the future, the strength of each individual in the legion would be even more terrifying.
Even, if one day Bean Transformation into Soldiers could unlock teaching skills outside of the race, it would be even more invincible.
Shi Yu could copy a bunch of legion resonance skills similar to Fortified Defense for Eleven to learn.
At that time, low-level skills could also exert the effects of transcendent skills!
One person becomes an army!
Perhaps now, this move seems useless to Eleven and doesn't help in battle, but after the proficiency is high and a higher inheritance degree is unlocked, it would be so refreshing to overwhelm the enemy with a large army.
Although Eleven didn't react, Shi Yu instantly understood the strategic value of Bean Transformation into Soldiers, no wonder Wu Di wanted to cultivate the Iron-eating Beast Legion, it was simply promising for the future.
"Aow?"
Eleven pondered, is that true?
"Luckily I have a good memory, I remembered!"
At this time, Chong Xuan suddenly said.
It said with emotion, "Speaking of which, you should know the method to quickly improve the Hardening level, right?"
It only thought of it after five minutes... you can't really say you have a good memory...
Silently complaining in his heart, Shi Yu and the others looked at Chong Xuan.
"Is it by using high-level Hardening to nurture low-level Hardening?"
"That's right!"
Chong Xuan nodded and said, "This is actually the easiest place for the Iron-eating Beast army to form."
"Actually, the method to awaken the royal bloodline is similar, it also relies on nurturing."
"Huh??"
Shi Yu was stunned and said, "Relying on other Iron-eating Beasts with royal bloodlines??"
"No, it's through the Beast Tamer to nurture and nourish the Iron-eating Beast's bloodline, but the method is more special, requiring specific nurturing techniques."
"Then, then can I learn it?" Shi Yu suddenly had a bad feeling.
"You? You definitely can't, only Beast Tamers with the Metal Enhancement Talent can nourish the Iron-eating Beast's bloodline through their talent. It's a special cultivation technique exclusive to Metal-type Beast Tamers for Metal-type creatures. Heh, it was researched by the first general under Wu Di back then."
Shi Yu's face instantly collapsed, damn it, how ruthless.
It meant that it was a special meditation method created by Shi Di, a special usage of the Beast Taming Talent?
"Then can I ask other Metal-type Beast Tamers for help?" Shi Yu asked again.
"That's possible, there were special Metal-type breeders in the Iron-eating Beast army back then who were responsible for cultivating the Iron-eating Beasts," Chong Xuan said.
"However, this is a slow and steady process. Although it doesn't require a high level of Beast Tamer, it requires a lot of time."
Hearing Chong Xuan say this, Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
That's good, he was really afraid that it would be limited to the contractor himself. If he could find someone to help, then he could directly ask Panda Senior. Their family all had Metal-type talents.
It just so happened that Eleven also needed to help Panda Senior's Iron-eating Beast improve its Hardening level, so it was no problem to squeeze Panda Senior, anyway, Eleven had been raised by Panda Senior since he was a child.
Suddenly, Shi Yu felt that something was wrong.
The first general under Wu Di should be the strong man from the Iron-eating Beast tribe, and he should also be a Beast Tamer who contracted with the Iron-eating Beast.
In this way, the information of this title-level expert was not passed down.
Could it be because the Iron-eating Beast was too strong at that time? After the Wu Di Dynasty was destroyed, the Totems almost exterminated the Iron-eating Beast?
In order to prevent the emergence of powerful Iron-eating Beasts, they directly combined with human traitors, rewrote the history at that time, and deleted a large amount of information about the Iron-eating Beast.
This could also explain why there were not many Iron-eating Beasts in modern times, and the racial inheritance was almost cut off.
"Speaking of which, my Iron-eating Beast has royal blood, does it mean that one of its ancestors was a very powerful Iron-eating Beast?" Shi Yu suddenly asked.
Chong Xuan nodded.
"Not bad."
"So, how did you meet?"
Eleven scratched its head and looked at Shi Yu.
Shi Yu said, "I bought it with a loan from a breeding base... I'm thinking, could the owner of that breeding base be the descendants of the breeders who specialized in cultivating Iron-eating Beasts for Wu Di..."
Panda Senior's family seemed to have been cultivating Iron-eating Beasts since their ancestors. Their ancestral motto was to pass on the Iron-eating Beast, which created Panda Senior's family's obsession with the Iron-eating Beast.
If the Iron-eating Beast clan really suffered a fatal blow after the Wu Di Dynasty was destroyed, then a small group of people could completely hide with some of the Iron-eating Beast's bloodline and pass down ancestral instructions...
After a long period of development and changes through several dynasties, it was not impossible for them to become the Pingcheng Lin Family today.
Chong Xuan fell into deep thought. Shi Yu's words seemed to touch some of its memories, reminding it of the scene of cultivating the Iron-eating Beast Legion with a group of breeders.
It sighed, those people must have passed away, but their descendants might have really continued.
"It's not impossible. If I can see them, maybe I can sense whether they are the descendants of those acquaintances," Chong Xuan shook its head.
"Sure, I'll take Senior Chong Xuan to see them when I have time!!" Shi Yu's eyes lit up and he began to play the emotional card.
If Panda Senior's family was really the descendants of Chong Xuan's friends, then their relationship would be even more perfect.
Bringing Senior Chong Xuan to Pingcheng, with its rich experience in cultivating Iron-eating Beasts, the Iron-eating Beast breeding base would directly take off.
At that time, the Pingcheng Iron-eating Beast Breeding Base would cultivate Iron-eating Beasts, the Wu Di Ruins would train Iron-eating Beasts, and the overlord-level evolution channel would be discovered. This time, it would be a reproduction of the strongest legion in history.
Although there was not much information passed down from Wu Di, Wu Di's legion was recognized by archaeologists as the strongest besides the modern mechanical legion.
"Not interested."
Chong Xuan snorted, the main thing was that it couldn't go out in its current state. It said, "Alright, I'll start talking about the method to nurture the Iron-eating Beast's bloodline. This method is also useful for other Metal-type pets. It can purify their bloodline. Remember it well."
"Yes!!"
Shi Yu hurriedly dealt with the main business.
Half an hour later, with scolding and training, Chong Xuan finally taught the stupid Shi Yu, feeling mentally exhausted.
In addition, it also told Shi Yu the information of the other five rare metals. These were all very rare level-eight resources.
Shi Yu learned so slowly purely because Shi Yu didn't have the Metal-type talent and couldn't practice while learning. He could only remember all the theoretical details and record them in the Illustrated Handbook so that he could teach Panda Senior later.
After everything was completed, Shi Yu also put away the Meteorite Iron Fragment.
Shi Yu planned to wait until Eleven reached the overlord level before devouring this evolution. Since even Chong Xuan said that Eleven would be at risk if it swallowed this now, he would play it safe, or let Eleven learn a Metal-type and Dark-type dual-type ordinary skill in advance to lay the foundation.
Wasn't that what the Skill Illustrated Handbook was for?
"Yi." Chong Xuan finished speaking tiredly. Ginseng Baby was also considerate and kept condensing soil-type energy and nutrient fruits rich in life energy next to it. When Chong Xuan glanced over, it saw Ginseng Baby handing it over with stars in its eyes.
It meant to give it to Senior.
"Yi! (This, delicious, can also treat injuries!)"
"Oh?"
Chong Xuan looked at Ginseng Baby. Compared to Void Mantis, Chi Tong, and Eleven, this Ginseng Baby had been very inconspicuous in its eyes before, but now, it found that Ginseng Baby was quite obedient.
"Then I'll try it."
Chong Xuan had indeed not eaten anything for a long time. It opened its mouth wide, and a pile of nutrients desperately condensed by Ginseng Baby was directly sucked up by the gravity in its mouth.
This was the transcendent skill Gravity Manipulation above the superb mastery level, which could arbitrarily manipulate the strength and direction of gravity. Including gravity, lateral gravity, zero gravity, anti-gravity, pressure, tension, repulsive force, attractive force...
Back then, Chong Xuan relied on this trick to pull down a lot of extraterrestrial meteorite iron for the Iron-eating Beast Legion.
Crunch.
Compared to Chong Xuan's volume, Ginseng Baby's nutrient fruit was too small, and the nutrients it contained were too few. After Chong Xuan finished eating, it shook its head boredly, recalling the nutrients of a certain teammate, that was delicious.
"The quality is good, but your strength is too weak, and the level of the food is not enough. There is room for improvement," Chong Xuan said faintly after smacking its lips. "But for your strength, it's already pretty good. It can be seen that you will definitely be a pet food fanatic in the future."
As soon as it finished speaking, Ginseng Baby's expression instantly froze, revealing a crying face.
"Yi!!!"
It looked at Chong Xuan's expression without any nostalgia, and the lack of any reaction to its injuries, and couldn't help but feel frustrated.
"Senior Chong Xuan..."
Seeing Ginseng Baby fail, Shi Yu took the stage again and started his turn. Shi Yu looked at Chong Xuan's injury and said, "Can't the wound of Yushan really be treated? Otherwise, why don't you come out with me later? There are many more medical methods now..."
Chong Xuan yawned and said, "It's too late. Otherwise, why do you think Yushan can go fifty-fifty with us? It relies on its incurable wound. At that time, it was only a minor injury. We couldn't treat it with superb mastery-level transcendent healing skills, and we couldn't treat it with divine medicine. Now my injury has reached the point of being terminally ill. The injury has deteriorated to every corner of my body, and life has been eroded. Even if it can be cured, my lifespan has been eroded to the point where only a little bit is left. There is not much meaning in treatment."
"In short, I don't have many days left to live."
"Just remember that this is Yushan's most difficult ability, don't worry about me. I've had enough of living anyway. They shouldn't have sent me out in the end. It would have been more worry-free for everyone to die neatly. Damn it, if there is a world of the dead, I must scold them."
Shi Yu, Eleven, Ginseng Baby, and others instantly fell silent.
Chong Xuan, doesn't have many days left to live??
"Senior Chong Xuan..."
Putting aside any ulterior motives, this big tortoise had at least sent them so many things. Although its personality was a bit bad, Shi Yu and the others really didn't want to see Chong Xuan die like this.
"What you said... is it true?"
"Why would I lie to you."
"The premise is to stay honestly and not make any big moves, if there is a battle, you might die immediately," Chong Xuan said unhappily.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you, the matter has also been explained. If you hadn't woken me up, I might have lived for decades longer in my sleep. Anyway, I'm going to sleep next, don't bother me. If you wake me up again, I'll really die."
"Wait..." Shi Yu still had too many things to ask, but hearing Chong Xuan say this, he was really embarrassed to disturb it.
"Is there really no other way to prolong your life?"
"Don't panic, don't be so girly, who said I will definitely die," Chong Xuan said.
Shi Yu and the others: ???
Damn, you said it yourself.
"Bloodline continuation, I am immortal. Next, I will use racial talent to reincarnate. Hundreds of years later, maybe I will be reborn in the form of an egg again. This is the only way I have found in my dreams for thousands of years that might be able to resist the wound of Yushan."
"It's just that I don't know if I can awaken the memory of this life. I don't know if it counts as giving birth or being reborn myself, this is the most difficult thing."
Chong Xuan fell into deep thought, but no matter what, it was better than the bloodline being cut off.
"Forget it, anyway, when my next life is born, you kid will probably be buried in the ground, how miserable. That's the disadvantage of you humans, short lives."
Shi Yu: "..."
Eleven, Buggy, Ginseng Baby and other pets looked at Shi Yu eagerly. It could be reincarnated...
The higher the race level of a creature, the more difficult it is to reproduce. Chong Xuan's way of reproducing is to allow itself to be remade??
"Then..."
"What else is there, the location of Yushan? How would I know!"
"Nothing," Shi Yu said.
"Since that's the case, then you should leave quickly, oh no, you can't leave yet."
Shi Yu: ???
"Wh, what do you mean."
"Because I am the owner of this relic space, affected by my state, this relic is now very unstable. Even if there is a way to treat me outside, I will not go out now. The problem now is that my condition is getting worse and worse, and you seem to be unable to get out either. The relic space has lost contact with the outside world."
"Ah??????" Shi Yu and the others were suddenly dumbfounded.
Damn, damn, damn, don't scare him.
"Don't panic, after I die, the relic space should become stable. Then you will be able to enter and exit through the old method, um... you can use this relic as you please. Those broken facilities will recover over time, so don't worry about that. I'm not sure how long it will take, but I see that you humans in the relic seem to have a lot of places to store food, which is enough for you to eat."
Chong Xuan said indifferently, but made Shi Yu and the others grimace.
The Wu Di Relic has been developed by humans, and there is indeed a resource library with large food storage resources. Even if there isn't one here, Shi Yu's own relic space has one, but the thought of being trapped here for an unknown amount of time made his stomach hurt.
"There's no way to contact the outside world..."
"Of course not, just wait, don't worry, it won't be long."
"Is there anything else this time?" Shi Yu could hear that Chong Xuan's tone was already impatient.
Just as Shi Yu wanted to make a final request and ask if he could shake hands before leaving, a white light flashed on Shi Yu and the others, and they were teleported back to the martial arts competition venue of the Wu Di Relic.
At this time, standing in the deserted Wu Di Relic, Shi Yu, Eleven, Buggy, and Ginseng Baby looked at everything blankly.
The empty relic, only them, unable to get out, and no one else able to get in.
The only one who could chat with them, Chong Xuan, was now in the exclusive space in the depths of the relic, having fallen asleep, not far from death, and was trying to reshape his life. What... what was this all about.
"Ginseng Baby, you're so weak, you can't even cure Senior Chong Xuan."
Ginseng Baby: ...
A wound that even a level-ten resource divine medicine can't cure, wasn't that embarrassing it.
"Yi..." Ginseng Baby quickly discovered the blind spot. In this way, Yushan was so scary, was Eleven really going to fight it?
Shi Yu was silent. Regardless of whether that day would come, he had to find a way on Ginseng Baby's body and research the strongest healing ability.
Otherwise, if they encountered a similar enemy in the future, it would be him who would suffer.
"Ying." After thinking, Eleven expressed that there was no big problem.
It suddenly felt that Beanies were also good.
As long as it let the Beanies fight, there would be no problem with it getting hurt.
Then let Buggy's phantom provide support and hide its main body, and there would be no problem.
"Ying." Eleven seemed to see the light, Yushan, could be fought, but not by it!
"...Don't think about things so far away, what we should be considering now is... how long are we going to stay here before we can get out." Shi Yu's face was dark.
Help!
There's no internet here!
