Qi Ze has become the backbone of the entire team. No one will stop him from what he wants to do, but the doubts in his heart still need to be mentioned.
"Master Qi, why are you digging a hole?" Lang Ya looked around, looking alert.
Qi Ze raised his right hand to signal him not to speak. At this moment, many protrusions suddenly appeared on the smooth sand. They rushed from all directions, rushed into the sand pit at a very fast speed, and rushed towards the octagonal crystal. Everyone looked at it closely, and their scalps suddenly became numb. I saw that the pit was packed with insects and beasts layer upon layer, and countless sticky tentacles were mixed together, killing and devouring each other. They scrambled to wrap the crystal, one worm swallowed it, and the other worms attacked, swallowed and swallowed several times, and finally turned into a mass of meat balls weighing hundreds of pounds, tentacles. also become thicker and denser.
But it wasn't over yet. After the cubs were swallowed, dozens of adult beasts finally came from the inside of the forest. The meatballs became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more tentacles. Slowly, their smooth and sticky body surface grew bark-like things, and opened a few small green buds.
From insect to beast, from beast to plant, these seem to be the three growth stages of this monster.
Qi Ze carefully observed this process and supplemented his guesses based on various details. But other people do not have such a strong psychological quality, and they have long been scared to death.
"Master Qi, this thing is getting bigger and bigger, it will swallow our entire camp, right?" Langya stepped back a few steps, pointed at the monster that had already filled the bunker, and shouted, "Whatever you want to do, Please stop quickly!" These scientists are fucking crazy, they dare to do any dangerous experiments!
"Don't be noisy, Ozawa is measured." Yan Junyu warned quietly. He has experienced death, and he has tasted that life is worse than death, how can he be moved by this small scene
"Hide in the capsule if you don't dare to look, no one will laugh at you." Li Ziqian also spoke very plainly. Ouyang Ye hugged Mingrui tightly, trying to make it look like "I'm not afraid at all".
"Who dares not watch it? I'm just worried that the scene will get out of control." Langya tried his best to control his weak legs, and didn't let himself kneel down or run away. His brothers hugged together in twos and threes, like a quail in the rain, afraid and pitiful.
Qi Ze never spoke. The outermost isolation method was only activated when the meat ball devoured two of the same kind in a row, and the body that had swelled more than twice was bounded by the innermost confinement array, one after another. array. The scent of the crystals instantly disappeared from the smell of the hurried insects and beasts. They turned around a few times, fighting and swallowing each other, or scattered into young beasts, burrowed into the sand, or turned into larger insects. Climb into the forest.
Wolf Fang quietly let out a breath, but his eyes were fixed on the giant beast left alone in the sandpit. It was bound by an invisible force, and many deep imprints appeared on the surface of the body, with lines and characters, arranged in a random pattern in a mysterious pattern. It tried to climb out of the bunker, but couldn't move a single step. It tried to dig into the sand, which was equally futile. After struggling for a while, it suddenly groaned, its belly bouncing up and down, as if something was about to rush out.
"Stand far away." Qi Ze held Yan Junyu and stepped back five or six meters.
Everyone retreated in unison, their expressions horrified.
Hearing a loud "bang", the insect beast exploded without warning, and large groups of dark green mucus rushed into the sky like a fountain, scattered in all directions, and exuded an extremely unpleasant stench. The area around the bunker was wet, and the camp was splashed a lot. Fortunately, Qi Ze was well prepared and used his spiritual power to block it before he survived.
"Ouch~" Many people covered their noses and retched, their faces were green, not much better than the mucus.
"Xiao Hei, pick up the inner alchemy and pack it in this box." Qi Ze handed the black crystal box to Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei didn't take it. He flew directly into the sand pit and fished it out from the bubbling mucus. An octagonal crystal that was a circle larger than before, swallowed it in one bite.
"Yeah, Xiao Hei ate it! Will it explode?" Mingrui shouted anxiously.
Qi Ze was angry and funny, so Yan Junyu quickly put on his protective clothing, and finally spread out his five fingers and grabbed into the void, and then took back Xiao Hei who was trying to fly to the forest, pinched its tiny legs and hung it upside down in the air, A violent shake. The little gangster is still shallow, and has no time to digest this inner pill, so he spit it out from his neck, and without waiting for Qi Ze's reprimand, he got into Mingrui's arms, revealing only a small buttocks, humming in his mouth crying.
"Stop it, if you are greedy, go to the forest to catch worms, this inner pill is useful to me." Qi Ze said helplessly. He has always been extremely tolerant of the spirit martial arts he made. If it was Ouyang Ye who dared to do this, he would have broken his legs long ago.
"Xiao Hei, you have to be good, brother Qi Ze's food can't be eaten indiscriminately." Ming Rui's tone was very like a mother who taught her daughter, but she is only four years old this year, so the picture is a bit funny.
Li Ziqian couldn't help laughing. With a slap of his palms, he filled up the stinking sand pit, and waved his hands, "Okay, let's go back to the camp. You saw it just now. There are many insects and beasts lurking under the sand, and around the camp there are The protective shield set up by Master Qi, as long as you don't go out, you will not encounter danger."
Everyone agreed in unison, with lingering expressions on their faces.
Sitting down in front of his capsule tent and lighting a solar light, Qi Ze carefully groped the inner alchemy and handed it to Li Ziqian. Ouyang Ye and Yan Junyu were wearing heavy protective clothing and sat on the sidelines watching. Mingrui is protected by Xiao Hei, but he is not afraid of being infected by radiation at all.
"What did you see?" Qi Ze asked.
"It's a little bigger than before, and the color is deeper." Li Ziqian put the inner alchemy into the black crystal box to isolate the radiation.
"Ozawa, are you going to use the method just now to keep this inner elixir and let me swallow it?" Even though he asked, Yan Junyu was already determined in his heart. He took off his protective suit, walked over to the boy and sat down, with no disgust or fear on his face.
"That's right. I found that this kind of worm can quickly absorb the inner alchemy of the same kind and turn it into its own strength, so I came up with this idea. Using this inner alchemy as bait, let them start fighting in the group, the process may be It is very dangerous, but as long as you are prepared like today, you should be fine. You only need to swallow the final inner elixir, and the countless pains in the middle can be avoided.”
"You came up with this method to minimize my pain?" Yan Junyu tried his best to suppress his violent heartbeat.
"Of course. You are the container for the Gu worms, and refining the Gu worms is to refine you. I can't do it." Qi Ze stared at his palm, his eyes full of unbearable.
Yan Junyu laughed in a low voice, held the boy's wrist, and dropped a kiss, two kisses, three kisses on his open palm...
Ouyang Ye picked up a branch, slapped him hard, and scolded, "You're fucking endless! If it was me, Shao Qi still couldn't bear it."
"That won't happen." Qi Ze immediately made a slash, and by the way, pulled his hand back and rubbed it in his sleeve.
Ouyang Ye covered his chest and was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but was swept away by Li Ziqian's palm, "How far should this inner alchemy be kept? The growth rate of insects and beasts is extremely fast, and a small sand pit can't handle it. Find a more suitable location."
"Naturally, keep them until they become immune to radiation," Qi Ze shook his head, "I won't leave such a big weakness for Yan Junyu."
Yan Junyu laughed lowly again, firmly holding the boy's hand hidden in his sleeve, no matter how hard he struggled, he would not let go. Qi Ze was a little discouraged, and blushed a little, and continued, "The other thing you have to do is to find a location, preferably a Tiankeng that covers an extremely wide area. Because no one knows how big those insects and beasts can grow. "
"I understand, I will organize people to investigate the environment tomorrow." Li Ziqian glanced at Yan Junyu and persuaded, "It's not early, Junior Brother and I go together, don't disturb Qi Shao's rest."
Yan Junyu knew that the boy didn't need sleep at all, but he didn't refute it. He walked with Li Ziqian to a corner and said, "Before you came, I had been parasitized by this kind of insect for nine days, and I had to endure skin and bones every day. Pain. Before me, many people chose to commit suicide by swallowing a gun because they couldn't bear the pain. Senior, do you know how I persevered?"
"How did you persevere?" Li Ziqian vaguely guessed the answer.
"Rely on this." Yan Junyu opened his brain and called up a video file. Every clip that Qi Ze left in his life and on the Internet was intercepted and properly preserved by him. It was with these sporadic and broken images that he survived one night after another where life was worse than death.
He calls up a separate video file and hits play. That was the scene where he drove Kaiyang to participate in the joint military exercise. During this military exercise, he was attacked by Mu Feixing and lost his ability. This should have been the most unbearable experience, but after discovering this video, it became his strongest spiritual support.
The moment he saw Kaiyang fall, Qi Ze jumped out from behind the seat, stepped on the heads and shoulders of the distinguished guests, and rushed in his direction. His eyes were full of anxiety and panic, and when he rose to the sky, he showed the expression of the rest of his life. Perhaps even he himself does not know how much emotion he has exposed at this moment, and what kind of information he has revealed.
"When I saw this video, I knew that Ozawa's feelings for me had not disappeared," Yan Junyu stared at Li Ziqian and said slowly, "He said he didn't like me for a long time, but he still cared about me in his heart. So I went through the maddening pain again and again, just to see him alive again. Senior, have you ever liked someone? Can you understand this feeling of willingness to sacrifice your life for someone?"
"Understood, so I'm dedicating my life now. Otherwise, why do you think I came to save you?" Li Ziqian sneered. He doesn't like this topic very much, and he understands why the younger brother would talk to him. Maybe he saw a clue and came to claim sovereignty, but so what
"It turns out that the person the senior likes is me, so are you desperate to save me?" Yan Junyu looked surprised.
"WTF?" Li Ziqian stared at him in astonishment.
"Don't be nervous, I'm joking with the senior." Yan Junyu chuckled and said with great sincerity, "For whatever reason, the senior can come to save me, I am very grateful. I have the right to like a person, and so do you. In this way, we compete fairly."
Before getting into the tent, he said again, "Senior, thank you."
"No thanks." Li Ziqian wiped his face and walked away slowly.
----
The next day, the two got up early and prepared to lead the team to survey the terrain. In order to eat enough, Lang Ya had to count the number of people to follow. Xiao Hei and Xiao Mecha can fly at high altitudes, and naturally they also undertake this important task.
Qi Ze took out a bronze mirror and observed the forest through the eyes of a small mecha. Before raising the inner alchemy, he must first understand the habits of these insects and beasts, including their abilities, weaknesses, size, lifespan, etc., and then make a refining plan according to the actual situation.
There was black fog over the forest, and the little mecha had to pass by at a low altitude, but was almost caught by a few thick vines. Fortunately, it was extremely fast and its movements were very agile. Through the mirror, Qi Ze carefully observed this scene, his expression changed from surprised to solemn, and then slowly became excited.
This is a worm that weighs several tons. It moves its body like a mountain of flesh through the forest. Wherever it passes, the trees fall down and the grass dies. A few minutes later, another worm of the same size crawled over and struggled with it, and countless vines twisted in the air, sweeping everything around.
The small mecha flew high into the sky and caught the intense scene into the eyes. After waiting for more than an hour, the two insects merged into a larger insect and continued to crawl forward, all the animals and plants swept by their tentacles. Turned into ashes, as if the water in the body was drained in an instant. Their devouring and growth seemed to be endless, and Qi Ze had to doubt that one day in the future, the insects and beasts of the entire planet would eventually become one, crushing the core of the earth.
Under such circumstances, raising an inner alchemy is very risky. If you are not careful, Qi Ze will cultivate an interstellar beast, and at the same time lose his life, planet ME219 will disappear completely. But risks and opportunities coexist. The greater the potential of this worm, the greater the energy contained in the inner alchemy. After it is completely absorbed, it may be promoted to the power above the fusion stage.
Black-eyed Galaxy has never seen such a strong person, but now it is about to be born in his own hands, how can it not be exciting? Qi Ze has a fanatical and adventurous factor in his bones. He dares to do what others dare not do; he does what others do not want to try. Holding the bronze mirror, he wandered around the edge of the camp and saw Yan Junyu who was leading the team to turn around, and immediately greeted him.
"Any gains?"
"Yes, this is a tiankeng that covers an area of 10,000 square meters. It's not far from the camp. It's half a day's journey." The electromagnetic waves did not interfere with Zhinao's shooting function, and Yan Junyu showed the photos to the teenager.
"Ten thousand square meters is too small." Qi Ze shook his head.
"It's still young?" Lang Ya's scalp was numb. "Then how big a place are you looking for?"
"Wait a minute, Xiao Hei and No. 1 haven't come back yet." Qi Ze stared at the bronze mirror and said solemnly, "The toxins on the vines of this insect and beast have decreased after they become adults, but they can instantly drain the body of animals and plants. Moisture will turn them into ashes. If you encounter adult insects and beasts, hide if you can, don't fight hard."
"Is there such a thing?" The more Langya listened, the more frightened he became. Due to their limited feet, they have not yet entered the center of the forest, so they have not encountered adult insects.
"You can see for yourself. The next reconnaissance task is handed over to No. 1 and Xiao Hei. Don't go. We will set off after finding a suitable location." Qi Ze handed the bronze mirror to Yan Junyu, which showed two adult worms figure of the beast. They slammed into each other like two hills, the vines rising into the sky intertwined with each other, strangled, and cut off each other's flesh. The pieces of meat fell to the ground and turned into new insects, either jumping up to continue the fight, or burrowing into the ground to hide. The animals and plants touched by the vines turned into fly ash and dispersed, forming a large area of death.
"Just a little touch will turn into ashes, what's the principle?" Li Ziqian's expression was solemn.
"Every cell on the vine has a strong suction, which can instantly drain the water in living objects." Yan Junyu guessed.
"If we meet an adult worm, it will turn into ashes as long as it touches it?" Lang Fang threw the gun in his hand and cursed, "Damn, how can we escape? This forest will sooner or later. Ruined by these bugs? No, the planet will be destroyed by them!"
"So we have to die and live." Qi Ze took the bronze mirror and said lightly.
No. 1 is still hovering in the air, but Xiao Hei has already got into the forest to catch poisonous insects. This forest covers a vast area, and no matter how high you fly, you can't see the end. They are like alopecia areata on the scalp. Pieces and strips are shocking, and a slowly moving mountain of meat can be found near each alopecia areata.
Finally, a large and astonishing open space appeared in Qi Ze's field of vision. No. 1 flew continuously for twenty minutes before reaching its other boundary. This is a dry lake, and the deeply sunken surface contains the remains of many aquatic animals.
"It's here." Qi Ze ordered No. 1 to investigate back and forth a few times before making a final decision.
"Young Master Qi, I won't ask you why you can see the scene in the forest through this mirror. I will only ask you, do you really want to raise insects and beasts here?" Langya asked in a trembling voice.
"If you are afraid, you can stay in the camp." Ouyang Ye glanced at him contemptuously, but his little heart was trembling.
"Go ahead." Yan Junyu said calmly, "At least we have a way to kill them instead of letting them grow."
"Yes, kill more insects and beasts, the threat to us will be reduced by one point." Li Ziqian took off his military cap and said firmly, "Go to this lake bed tomorrow."
"How to get there?" Langya retorted sharply, "There are so many insects and beasts on the road, how do we pass through?"
"Fly over." Qi Ze took out a disc-shaped thing from the Qiankun bag and threw it on the ground. The disk quickly grew larger, and many runes and patterns were engraved on its surface, emitting a faint glow. "This is the yin-yang five-element pan. With my current strength, I can't fully control it. I can only bring ten people over at a time. Whoever wants to go raise their hands." The yin-yang five-element pan is a treasure of the sect. It is already very difficult to make it fly, let alone carry everyone.
The Yan family all raised their hands, but the Red Ghost Star Pirates turned into tortoises. Lang Ya felt humiliated, thinking that Qi Ze would only choose the people he trusted the most, so he raised his hand to count. And he didn't think this frisbee was useful. The interference of electromagnetic waves was so severe that it was strange to be able to find the right direction. But Qi Ze chose him, and praised him for being brave enough, and his bad taste should not be too obvious.
After a night of rest, the ten selected people took the yin and yang five elements to the sky above the lake bed. After landing, the ten-meter-diameter Frisbee turned into a small piece the size of a palm, which Qi Ze held in his hand and used it as a compass. He walked back and forth on the lake bed all day, measuring something with his feet, and then took out small black flags and planted them in many places.
The adult insects were busy fighting and did not appear near the lake bed.
After densely planting hundreds of small flags, he poured out a bunch of fist-sized white crystals from the Qiankun bag and commanded, "Please do me a favor and bury these white crystals directly under each small flag. If you bury one, you will draw a flag, don't miss it, and don't bury it in the wrong place."
The crowd did not ask much, and took action one after another.
While they were busy, Qi Ze started to use the yin-yang five-element disk to calculate the bearing again, measuring with his feet inch by inch, inserting the small white flag again, pouring out the black crystals, and burying them one by one directly below. He measured and calculated nine times back and forth, and buried black and white crystals at intervals. In this way, he placed nine layers of magic circles on the lake bed inside and out. , this is the end.
This is a huge project that has been busy for six consecutive days and finally ended. On the periphery of the lake bed, Qi Zebu had already placed a huge isolation circle to prevent the smell of Black Crystal from leaking out and attracting a wave of insects. Artifact refiners are a group of all-rounders. They can understand both formations and talismans. They are also good at casting. As long as they have an idea in their heart, they can try their best to realize it. This "Yin-Yang Nine-Transformation Spiritual Array" Qi Ze has practiced on the sand table countless times, and the Zongmen's most precious yin-yang five-element disk assisted in the field arrangement, so naturally there will be no mistakes.
But Langya and others were confused by him. If it wasn't for Yan Junyu and Li Ziqian to suppress them, they would have gone on strike long ago.
After burying the last white crystal with his own hands, Qi Ze asked everyone to fly into the sky on a yin-yang five-element disc, and announced, "It's time to start."
"What started?" The monk Langya Zhang Er was puzzled, and was about to ask, but saw Qi Ze pointing at the same point, using his spiritual energy to stimulate the first spar in the outer circle. The spar exploded brightly and ignited the second spar, followed by the third, fourth, fifth... One after another spar lit up one after another, forming a huge circular pattern. Then there is the second layer, the third layer...
Black light and white light flash alternately. The yin array and the yang array rotate in layers, turning the huge lake bed into a miniature universe, and countless spar is countless stars, running along their respective orbits. The scene is magnificent, majestic, and mesmerizing.
Wolf Fang and the others were stunned.
