The stone tower has three floors.
After finishing his daily meditation, Greem slowly came to a secret room.
In the secret room at this moment, the junior apprentice Billis was sitting cross-legged in a huge wooden barrel with a distorted and grim expression, as if he was silently enduring some kind of great pain. Inside the wooden barrel, it was filled with purple-black inexplicable liquid, and exuded a pungent fishy smell.
Seeing Greem come in, Billis struggled to get up and salute, but was stopped.
"How is it? Is the fusion going smoothly?" Greem asked with concern.
"Everything is going well, my lord!" Billis reluctantly replied, enduring the severe pain, "I will definitely succeed in the fusion!"
After saying that, he gently lifted off the robe that was draped around his body, revealing his bony chest and that wriggling sarcoma.
As a wandering apprentice, Billis wasn't physically strong, but he wasn't thin either. However, in only three or two days, he lost thirty to forty catties, looking like he was exhausted. And the chief culprit who killed him so badly was the terrible sarcoma parasitic on his chest.
At this moment, a fist-sized sarcoid hung from Billis' chest, and through the almost translucent skin, one could vaguely see a strange worm wriggling inside. Its head had been deeply inserted into Beasley's flesh and blood, only half of its body and abdominal sac remained outside.
As the zerg got closer to the heart bit by bit, the pain Billis endured became more and more intense.
Leaning over to check the progress of the fusion between the two, Greem stood up straight and warned Billis solemnly: "The mutated insect mother has already touched your heart, and it will try to parasitize in your heart in the next step, and Try to become one with your heart. So... I will ask you one last time, do you regret it? If you regret it, I can still interrupt this process now. Otherwise, once you cross this stage, your body will be in short-term There is obvious insectification. At that time, even I can't do anything!"
"Without the support of an adult, I know that with my talent, I would never be able to become a real wizard. Therefore, I don't regret this choice... ah..." As soon as Billis finished speaking, there was a burst of excitement in his heart. The excruciating pain made him unable to resist grabbing the edge of the barrel with both hands, raising his head and howling in pain.
Before he could scream a few times, a large stream of blood gushed out of Billis's mouth like a spring. Judging by the posture of vomiting blood, his internal organs must have been seriously injured.
As soon as the bright red blood touched the purple-black body, it was completely absorbed in it immediately, and then replenished into Billis' body again through his skin. During this process, the purple-black liquid gradually boiled, and a strange fragrance began to permeate the entire secret room.
And accompanied by the strange fragrance, there is also a strange and charming singing voice that seems to be absent.
This song is like the sound of nature, sometimes it is fresh and sweet, sometimes it is high-pitched and shocking, sometimes it is empty and blue, and sometimes it is quiet and profound... And in the singing, several beautiful female sirens the size of palms are floating up and down on the purple-black **, all in unison. Sing out loud.
But as their singing fluttered, the flesh and blood of several beautiful sirens suddenly rotted and festered, turning into puddles of purple-black pus and pouring into the wooden barrel. Only a pair of solitary skeletons were left standing there, with their jaws moving and making weird rattling noises.
At the same time, the melodious and beautiful voice just now turned into a vicious curse weeping with blood and tears, waves of mental fluctuations full of strong resentment and hatred rippling in the air, and then poured into Billis' body .
Billis tightly grasped the edge of the barrel, and the wood chips he picked with his fingers flew, leaving deep scratches on the steel-strong wooden board.
In his body, that damned worm mother was madly devouring his heart. Outside his body, the curse of the strange sea monster poured in continuously, eroding his soul continuously.
After the pain reached the extreme, Billis suddenly sank into the purple-black body, suppressing the disgust in his heart, and swallowed heavily.
The liquid poured into the wooden barrel is the blood in the body of the siren.
Judging by the weight of the wooden barrel, I am afraid that such a huge amount can only be gathered by draining the blood of ten female sirens. And the Siren is also a sea monster that can be compared with human wizards. Ten Sirens with the strength of senior apprentices cost Greem 150,000 magic crystals.
The fusion of Bliss and the mutant worm mother is actually a process of mutual devouring. In this process, it is necessary to ensure that the body of the worm mother is fused to become the new core of Bliss, and the soul of the worm mother is parasitic in Bliss. in the soul.
The mutated worm mother itself has no room for self-growth, but parasitic in Billis' body, it can grow stronger with Billis' growth. This is also a unique growth method of their race!
However, because the fusion process is too cruel and bloody, once the host cannot survive, it will end with the death of both humans and insects.
Therefore, in order to increase the success rate of the fusion, Greem could only purchase the blood of these sea monsters at a high price.
Like the water of life of the elves, the blood of the siren also has an amazing ability to restore flesh and blood. It's just that the blood has been soaked with the resentment and curse of the female siren before they died, so using the blood of the siren must bear the power of this curse.
One of the main reasons why Greem chose the Siren's Blood instead of the Water of Life was that both the Worm Mother and Bliss had special dual attributes of dark earth, which had serious conflicts with the Water of Life. So as a last resort, even if there were serious sequelae, Greem could only choose the blood of the siren.
Fortunately, as long as Billis can successfully fuse, it is still very easy to get rid of these curses.
The intense pain of body, body and soul tortured Billis to death. He curled up into a ball, completely soaked in the blood of the sea monster, silently enduring the terrible pain of the worm mother.
The bright red blood spurted out from his mouth and nose, and mixed with the blood of the sea monster, was absorbed into the body again through the skin. With such a life cycle, Billis will not die in the fusion process due to exhaustion of vitality.
During this process, Greem has been standing silently on the edge of the barrel, carefully observing every step of the fusion between the two parties. Relying on the subtle connection in the soul, coupled with the chip's full-band perspective, Billis' body is like a transparent skin, which can't hinder the penetration of Greem's sight at all.
Not only did he observe carefully, Greem also collected some blood samples from the barrel from time to time and kept them. Afterwards, he could dial out the deep mystery of the fusion of worm mothers by comparing the changes in Billis' blood composition.
And while Greem was waiting anxiously, the mutant mother had already inserted her entire body into Billis' chest cavity, and successfully ate his heart.
Under normal circumstances, at this moment, Billis should already be a dead man!
After all, with the strength of a junior apprentice, it is still impossible to support the life cycle in the body with the power of witchcraft.
However, the existence of the siren's blood endowed Billis with extra vitality, allowing him to survive the absence of a heart until the mutated worm mother transformed into a new core to replace the heart.
There was a splash of water.
Billis jumped out of the siren's blood, holding the bucket with both hands and gasping for breath.
In his wide-open eyes, a pair of weird khaki vertical pupils stood out!
...
three days later.
Sabrina walked into the secret room carrying a large plate of lamb ribs with traces of blood on it.
This is the second floor of the stone tower.
Except for a few quasi-sorcerers, ordinary apprentices are not allowed to set foot on the second floor under normal circumstances. But Billis, who only has the strength of a junior apprentice, not only owns a residence here, but also enjoys the "honor" that Sabrina Zhunwu personally delivers five meals a day to the house!
Such preferential treatment undoubtedly made those wizard apprentices almost crazy with jealousy.
But only Sabrina knew that the guy who locked himself in the secret room every day was already hard to tell if he was still the former junior apprentice Billis!
Ever since Billis moved from the first floor to the second floor of the stone pagoda under Master Greem's strict order, he never went out again. He always hides in that airtight and dark secret room, spending most of the day and night eating crazily.
At the beginning, he ate those fat steaks that were grilled carefully and brushed with a thick layer of bright grease. But even if the two chefs sent by the city lord were busy with their hands and feet, it was difficult to supply Billis's terrifying and huge stomach like a bottomless pit.
Seeing that three meals a day turned into five meals a day, and then turned into continuous eating and drinking, Sabrina was like a busy transporter, carrying a huge plate and constantly shuttling between the secret room and the Between the kitchen.
Later, Sabrina found that Billis didn't seem to be too picky about the taste and whether the food was fully cooked, so she decided to let the chefs save the process of frying, frying and brushing the sauce, as long as the beef The lamb is cut into a suitable size, and it is simply grilled and sent in.
In the end, Sabrina even stuck out the mechanical claws hidden in her body, and grabbed the bloody half cow carcass and sent it into the secret room.
Finally, Greem couldn't stand it anymore, and called Sabrina over to give some instructions.
Therefore, Sabrina, who is a mechanical girl, will send a living cow to Billy's secret room next time!
...
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, most of the wizard apprentices in the stone tower were sent out.
Therefore, the mechanical girl Sabrina protruded four or five silvery mechanical tentacles from her waist, held a 300-kilogram bull, and walked into Billis's secret room with ease.
The secret room was dark and dark.
Originally, Sabrina's powerful mechanical eyes naturally have infrared vision and low-light vision, so she should be able to see through this small secret room.
But it was quite strange. The darkness in the secret room seemed to be mixed with some kind of witchcraft effect. No matter how wide her eyes were, she couldn't see through it. She just vaguely felt that there was a terrible secret hidden in the darkness.
Standing at the door, she didn't dare to take a step forward, but used her mechanical hands to lift the struggling bull into the darkness.
At this time, she would feel a sudden huge pulling force from the mechanical tentacles. If she hadn't released the bull in time, perhaps even she would have been dragged into the darkness of the secret room inevitably.
And when she retracted the mechanical tentacles, of course the bull on them had disappeared without a trace, but the end of the tentacles was stained with some dark green and smelly pungent mucus.
Immediately, the terrifying sound of thousands of locusts gnawing on food resounded in the darkness of the secret room!
