MTL - I Try To Become An Immortal Through Mortal Science-Chapter 22 The truth about the spider
Chapter 22 The truth about the spider
Yaozhufeng is the eruption place of the earth's evil turbidity. At this time, the aura is rewinding, and it becomes the place with the most abundant aura among the many peaks of Xiangshan Mountain.
But these auras are not supported by spiritual veins, and will eventually dissipate until the Earth Sha erupts next year, and the cycle will continue.
Luo Hong flew above the treetops, searching for the figure of the Dan spider with his eyes, and soon he found something.
I saw a giant eight-legged spider about half a foot high and one foot long and wide eating the leaves slowly. Even if Luo Hong made some movements deliberately after approaching, he didn't have the slightest stress reaction.
After observing for a while, it is basically the same as what the little old man described, with great strength but slow movement.
Rough skin and thick flesh, but from the perspective of a mortal, Luo Hong drove the Lengyue knife to easily cut off a leg of the Dan spider.
After being hurt, the Dan spider became angry. While trying to attack Luo Hong, it stomped on the ground with its long feet.
A moment later, Luo Hong vaguely heard the same rhythm of footsteps coming from a distance. It turned out that it was calling for its companions.
"Most of the casualties of the little old man were caused by the siege of the Dan Spider, so I don't care. The Dan Spider has no anti-air ability, and it is useless to come more."
After the test was clear, Luo Hong immediately drove the Lengyue knife to cut off the head of the spider.
However, at the moment of striking, he stopped suddenly, staring blankly at the lines on Dan Spider's back, feet and torso.
Why is there a shadow of a silver rune?
Luo Hong couldn't believe it, put away the Lengyue knife, and observed several Dan spiders who came to help, and found that the lines on their bodies were all carved out of the same mold!
Whether it is an animal or an insect, as long as it reproduces naturally, this situation is impossible.
The only explanation is that these Dan spiders have been artificially modified, and the time has been so long that the artificial traces have been hidden in the generation of Dan spiders.
According to Li Xiaowan, she came here to seek opportunities after she found a clue about the cave of an ancient cultivator in an ancient book. As a result, when we got here, we found out that there was a cave, but it had already been visited first. Not only did we not get the relics of the ancient immortal cultivators, but they were also attacked and besieged by the evil cultivators.
Needless to say, the fact that the ancient book got into Li Xiaowan's hands must be related to Li Mingjing.
Li Mingjing is dead, and there is no point in investigating it further. What Luo Hong cares about is the lines on the Dan spiders. If he guessed correctly, it is the ancient evil cultivator who realized the burning blood totem that tampered with these Dan spiders.
Obviously, this ancient evil cultivator also saw the disadvantages of the secret method he created, and Dan Spider was his attempt.
Luo Hong believes that evil cultivators who can create their own secret methods will not be aimless. The secret of improving the burning blood totem must be hidden in the pill spider, but he has not found it yet.
"If those lines are really blood-burning totems, how did these Dan spiders survive? Vegetarianism can't replenish the blood, and the blood-burning totems that don't get replenished will continue to draw the blood of the Dan spiders themselves. This is undoubtedly a dead end!"
Lengyue Dao flashed a cold light, and even after beheading the legless Dan spider, Luo Hong took the beads formed in its belly into her hands.
Using the spiritual sense to sense and investigate repeatedly, only to find that the bead is actually highly condensed spider silk, and the concentration of aura is not high.
Looking at the body of Dan Spider that was split in half, the exposed organs and blood-like liquid are all crystal clear, which is in great contrast to the ugly and thick appearance of Dan Spider.
Looking at the corpse, a sense of contradiction lingered in Luo Hong's heart.
"How can you be bloodless?"
Blood energy is the foundation of the blood-burning secret technique, no matter how much the ancient evil cultivators improve it, it is impossible to jump over it, and now there is no trace of blood energy in these pill spiders.
But this Dan spider is not a monster yet, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is very unnatural.
"What is the relationship between the Burning Blood Totem, which is supposed to absorb blood, the Pill Spider, which has no blood, and the bead, which only has a little spiritual energy?"
Luo Hong was thinking hard when he suddenly felt a slight change in the aura around him. When he activated the Celestial Eye, he saw that the aura was slowly but continuously approaching the body of the spider.
"This is it? Could it be"
Luo Hong drove the cold moon knife to pierce the spider leg he cut off first, and brought it back to him. Immediately, he found that the transparent viscous liquid flowing out of the wound was the source of the change in aura.
Luo Hong took out a low-level spirit stone and slowly approached it. When it got close to a certain level, a spiritual siphon effect suddenly appeared!
The aura in the spirit stone was absorbed by these liquids at an extremely fast speed, and after more than ten breaths, it became a pile of waste.
The liquid that absorbed the spiritual energy immediately showed the characteristics of spiritual materials, and there was a faint streamer on the surface.
"So that's it, I understand, it's really a miracle of life!"
According to the purpose of the ancient evil cultivator, Luo Hong boldly guessed that the Dan Spider must have been a monster known for its strong blood in ancient times.
The ancient evil cultivator forcibly attached the blood-burning totem to the ancient Dan spider, and used their powerful qi and blood to condense blood beads to help his own secret method cultivation.
After the death of the ancient evil cultivator, in order to avoid the unnatural selection caused by the blood-burning totem on his body, the ancient Dan spider began a long evolutionary journey, replacing the original function of blood with aura.
However, the Burning Blood Totem is extremely domineering. Once it starts running, it cannot be stopped. Without blood, it will extract everything it can, and aura has become its first choice.
This process is like heating hot water with electricity generated by wind power. The wind energy must first be converted into electrical energy, and then converted from electrical energy into heat energy.
The blood-burning totem's extraction of spiritual energy is far less powerful than that of blood energy.
So during the evolution, Danspider allowed its blood to acquire a powerful aura absorption ability, which enabled it to compete with the Burning Blood Totem for aura. The blood beads that might have condensed into the most precious treasure of the evil way had become ordinary brewing pills now.
"Many ancient monsters were destroyed in the catastrophe of depletion of spiritual energy in ancient times, but these Dan spiders have survived to this day because of a catastrophe from ancient evil cultivators.
Although it has changed from an extremely tyrannical monster to a beast that even mortals can hunt, but for a species, this is a victory.
Among them, the way that fortune and misfortune depend on each other is really wonderful. "
Sighs are sighs, Luo Hong collected the blood of the Dan spider without hesitation, and his intuition told him that the mana circulation of this thing is absolutely beyond the charts, after all, the foundation of ancient monsters is not built.
The Dan spider is very big, but there is very little blood in its body. Luo Hong killed five of them to fill up the three big jade bottles.
Afterwards, Luo Hong deliberately found a nest of Dan spider eggs and took them away. He thought that if he could remove the blood-burning totem deeply rooted on them, he might be able to reproduce the peerless power of this ancient monster.
Before leaving, Luo Hong bowed to the Monster Spider Peak.
This ancient evil cultivator is definitely not a good person, but he has indeed benefited a lot.
"Senior, your secret method and Dan spider are very good, and they are all mine now."
