This morning, Miao Chengyun embarked on the journey to Shennongding again with Prince Ma on his back.
In fact, it stands to reason that Miao Chengyun does not need to do the job of carrying people in person.
Of the nine guardians of the Yun family, who are now the Nine Suns puppets, six have cultivation powers and three have borrowed objects, most of them are more agile than Miao Chengyun.
However, the reasons given by Lord Ma were so convincing that Miao Chengyun could not refute:
"Before, I was bragging. In fact, when Ma Yixian will come back, that's not up to me.
When the old man woke up, he naturally took control of his body.
So I don't know when he will come back.
If this is lying on the back of the Jiuyang puppet, the puppet will inevitably lose control for a short time at the moment when our minds and souls change.
If these people seize the opportunity, it will kill people.
On your back, at least there is a cushion.
Why! Slow down, don't get so close. "
Right now, the nine guardians of the Yun family are opening the way ahead, and Miao Chengyun is following behind with Prince Ma on his back.
Being reminded like this, Miao Chengyun slowed down a little, and pulled a distance of about ten meters from the nine people in front.
Miao Chengyun was a little confused at the moment.
It is obvious that Ma Yixian has a problem with his practice.
But Miao Chengyun is still not sure what kind of regulations this Prince Ma is.
So he could only continue to probe: "Brother Ma, why do you have such a big enmity with Ma Yixian?"
"Nonsense, he is an old guy who is nearly four hundred years old, and his soul is obviously rotten, but he is still alive.
As long as he doesn't die, he will occupy this body for a day.
When can I get ahead? "
Lord Ma lay on Miao Chengyun's back, and said angrily.
"In that case, Brother Ma, you should take good care of this body." Miao Chengyun said puzzled, "To put it bluntly now, Brother Ma is trying to drag Ma Yixian to brain death as much as possible, and leave this body for you to control. .But you break other people's legs at every turn, which is not good for yourself."
"What do you know?" Prince Ma said, "Ma Yixian, an old immortal, has a very deep cultivation of gods, even though his spirit has rotted now, the centipede is dead but not stiff.
More than half of his spiritual power was spent on his body, otherwise how could he have lived for so long
The more I destroy his body, the greater his wear and tear, and the sooner he will lose his hair.
This is called being reluctant to let the child not catch the wolf! "
Miao Chengyun was very puzzled when he heard this, so he asked: "The aging of the human body is determined by the telomeres of stem cells. As the cells divide, the telomeres will wear out, and when they can't divide, people will die of old age.
This process is irreversible. With our human genes, how can he, Ma Yixian, live for such a long time
Could it be possible that he could control the composition of proteins inside cells with his mind-strengthening power? "
Lord Ma shook his head: "Then you are overestimating him, his Ma Yixian's refining skills are not that sophisticated yet.
Otherwise, he could live forever.
What makes him stronger than ordinary people is that he can control his internal organs with the power of thoughts.
The internal organs of the human body are involuntary muscles, which cannot be controlled by ordinary people, but he can control them at will, so he can shut down some temporary unnecessary parts.
For example, now, after he ate last time, his muscle glycogen and liver glycogen reserves are sufficient, so the entire digestive system is currently in a dormant state.
There is no exercise at the moment, so the cardiopulmonary function is also controlled to the lowest level.
To put it bluntly, his extra lifespan is saved by deducting the daily consumption of major organs of the human body, delaying the replacement of cells produced by metabolism, and saving by digging and searching. "
"I see." Miao Chengyun nodded, and then added, "I didn't expect Brother Ma to know a lot about biology at such a young age."
"I'm too lazy to learn these things." Prince Ma pointed to his head, "But I can call up most of the memory areas in his brain, so I know most of the things he knows.
Ma Yixian's method was figured out based on the medical skills in the school and combined with his own methods of refining gods.
After that, he went abroad to learn modern medical knowledge piecemeal, and gained some support from biological principles.
In the past hundred or so years, he has become more proficient in surviving. "
Miao Chengyun thought for a while and said, "However, if you put it this way, his longevity mainly depends on saving stem cells from telomere wear and tear, so if you break his leg, it doesn't seem to make him wear much, and it doesn't take many cells to heal a bone." change."
"The wear and tear is not much, but his mind is already riddled with holes." Ma Wangye said triumphantly, "Old injuries recur and his mentality collapses, which will accelerate the exhaustion of his spiritual sense."
"So that's how it is." Miao Chengyun said, "Actually, you don't need to work so hard. Ma Yixian's doing so has a lot of hidden dangers."
"Oh?" Prince Ma seemed to be in good spirits, and said, "What's the hidden danger?"
Miao Chengyun said: "The laws governing the operation of the major organs of the human body are the result of billions of years of biological evolution.
In essence, it is a process of continuous patching according to changes in the environment.
Overall, this is indeed a relatively extensive system, but it also provides a lot of fault tolerance.
What Ma Yixian is doing now can slow down the aging of his body, but it also means that his body's ability to resist risks is very weak.
Once something exceeds his expectations, even if it is an insignificant thing to ordinary people, it may cause a complete collapse of his whole body. "
"You're right." Ma Wangye said, "But this old man is nearly four hundred years old, and he is old and treacherous, so there really is nothing that can exceed his expectations.
My Lord Ma is the only exception.
It's a pity that I will use his body in the future, and I don't want to be too ruthless.
I am now equivalent to a prince waiting for the old emperor to die quickly.
If the old guy doesn't die, I can't inherit this body.
Breaking his leg repeatedly has little to do with his body, but mainly tortures his mind.
I won't do things that are really self-destructive.
If the country is defeated by me, I, the prince, will have no chance to be emperor.
Brother Miao, do you think this makes sense? "
"Brother Ma thinks clearly, Miao admires it!" Miao Chengyun praised, but felt depressed in his heart.
Miao Chengyun originally thought that he had an opportunity to take advantage of it, but at present, it seems that Prince Ma is not stupid.
Just when Miao Chengyun was slandering endlessly, Lord Ma pulled Miao Chengyun's ear, and said softly: "Brother Miao, please stop."
Miao Chengyun quickly stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
As he asked, Miao Chengyun was an inheritance hunter after all, so he began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.
At present, everyone has just turned over a mountain and is going downhill.
Miao Chengyun stood halfway up the mountain, with a good view.
He had been to Shennongjia before and was familiar with the map here.
Judging from the surrounding mountains, this place should be near Fenghuang Ridge, and not far in front are Fenfengya and Toudaogou, which can be regarded as the south-central part of the entire Shennongjia forest area, and it is also the deepest part of the virgin forest.
Looking at it halfway up the mountain, Miao Chengyun didn't find anything unusual.
But Prince Ma said: "There is something blocking the way ahead."
"what?"
"One of the Eight Great Vajras." Lord Ma said, "Grass."
"Cruel?"
This is a one-character vocabulary with short syllables, and Miao Chengyun didn't realize it for a moment.
"Have you heard of the term 'stern face'?" Prince Ma asked.
"heard about it."
"Have you heard of 'Hideous'?" Prince Ma asked again.
"That's too much to hear." Miao Chengyun said, "Back then, Lin Leshan and Miao Xueping fell in love because they hunted and killed a pair of 'Jian' in Minshan. This gossip is known by almost the whole hunting gate." Hideous: "This thing is so powerful that it can enter the top 30."
"The one blocking the way ahead is the ferocious 'Hide'." Ma Wangye said, "'Hide' is a bit worse than 'Hide', but since they can be compared, it is naturally not much worse. This thing is bloodthirsty. , seems to have also entered the top 50 of your Liemen Kyushu Foreign Object List."
"Oh, so it's this thing." Miao Chengyun nodded, "Then why don't we go around?"
"Can't go around."
"Why?"
Lord Ma said, "As I said just now, this is one of the Eight Great Vajras seated by Ma Yixian."
"So what's the matter?"
"As I said before, I tried to control the beast and broke a leg."
"Then what?"
"The object I'm trying to control is this 'carcass'." Ma Wangye said.
"You still can't beat a 'carry'?" Miao Chengyun asked strangely.
"It's not important." Lord Ma shook his head, "The important thing is that it remembers me. Ma Yixian is not here at the moment, it is out of control, and it will come to trouble us."
As a kind of fierce beast, after the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was no record in the hunting gate.
This thing is indeed very strong, but as long as there are a few Nine Inch hunters working together, it can still be hunted, so it disappeared in the land of Huaxia early.
If there is no accident, the cub in Shennongjia should be a cub captured from abroad, and it has grown up now.
Kyushu Foreign Objects carry more than 30 people, and less than 50 people. This level corresponds to the current standard of the Strange Creature Research Association, which is SS level.
As long as the intelligence is sufficient for this level of wild beast alien species, Miao Chengyun asked himself, even if he is alone, he can give it a try.
Even if they can't be hunted, it's not a big problem to save a small life and escape from danger.
Faced with a SS-rank beast, this Prince Ma would actually have his leg broken.
It seemed that Prince Ma's level was all that mattered, and he seemed to be able to turn around and give it a try.
But after thinking about it again, Miao Chengyun dismissed the idea.
Because obviously, Lord Ma is not really invincible.
It's because Ma Yixian wants to drag on and shut down some body functions, which will definitely make his own strength drop significantly.
These declines in strength are harmless to Ma Yixian, he can make up for it by controlling animals.
And after Ma Yixian fell asleep, Lord Ma took charge of this body, even if he mastered Ma Yixian's ability to "steal life", in order to prevent Ma Yixian from realizing his "rebellion", he would not move his body functions.
Therefore, Lord Ma's physical ability is still greatly reduced.
Moreover, when he tried to control the beast, he was rushing to cause trouble, with a bit of masochistic tendencies.
In the final analysis, Prince Ma is not a human being, after all, he has the Yun family's cultivation of the Four Realms.
This is not something you can contend with.
What's more, the Jiuyang puppet, which is being controlled by him, is not far in front.
It is definitely not wise to turn your face at this time.
Let's wait until we meet Lin Shuo.
Thinking about these things in my mind, I only heard Lord Ma say: "Of course I can fight, but I can't make a move, and neither can the Nine Suns Puppet, otherwise Ma Yixian will definitely notice it when he comes back.
So this matter, I can only trouble Brother Miao.
Kill this 'caracal', and we continue on our way. "
"What if I can't kill him?" Miao Chengyun asked.
"Then you will be killed by it." Lord Ma clapped his hands and laughed loudly.
As soon as Lord Ma finished speaking, he pressed Miao Chengyun's shoulders with both hands, and he jumped up high, and landed firmly on Bai Jinglue's back ten meters away.
The Jiuyang puppets quickly formed a group, and the nine people hung their heads and faced outwards, protecting Prince Ma in the center, leaving Miao Chengyun alone.
Mr. Miao's eyes blurred, and he saw a leopard-sized thing appearing on a rock not far in front of him.
The gray and black-spotted hair is sparse, the tail flicks behind the buttocks, and there is a small black hair at the top.
Haunted, according to the records recorded in Kyushu Foreign Objects, there are twelve characters:
Fierce and ugly, quick-moving, and bloodthirsty.
Miao Chengyun looked at the thing in front of him, his eyelids trembled.
Indeed, we can't blame the ancestors for hiding things in their records and cherishing words like gold.
The four words "vicious and ugly" are really the biggest feature of this thing in front of me.
The brows and eyes of this thing are very scary, with hanging eyes and white forehead, extremely vicious.
But the rest of the face, I don't know if it's a natural sarcoma, or the wound hasn't healed. It's like someone swung it dozens of times with the sole of a shoe, and it's smashed.
No wonder it is called hideous.
