"cheers!"
In the collapsed low-lying area, the magma has slowly cooled, but the interior continues to emit residual temperature.
Cang Haiyuan and Yang Qi met each other with paper cups.
The bonfire crackled, and from time to time a few sparks flew out, flickering in the wind, reflecting the surrounding red.
On this trip, they brought alcohol, but not a lot to save space.
Today, because of the discovery of a new group of mutant creatures, Cang Haiyuan proposed to have a drink to celebrate, and this is the scene in front of him.
Shao Zifeng sat on the edge of the deep pit, stepping on the cooled magma rock, and he did not participate in it.
One reason is that his alcohol intake is really not good, and also that he now deeply doubts that he can smell drunk by smelling wine.
In order to prevent the incident in Yundu City from happening again, he simply hid far away.
Holding Qiuqiu in his arms, he took out the fire-attribute dry food made by the school nutritionist and fed it to him.
"Hey~"
Because this little guy has no teeth, it is still very difficult to eat solid food, so Shao Zifeng carefully breaks it up and feeds it to him.
Qiuqiu looked at the dry food without blinking, and when he saw Shao Zifeng's hand reaching out, he hugged it tightly with his two small claws, just like a child grabbing a bottle when feeding.
Looking at the smiling Shao Zifeng, Qiuqiu suddenly remembered something, he got up and took out a piece of dry food from the bag.
Standing on Shao Zifeng's legs, his little paws were raised high.
"嘤嘤~" (eat the eggs)
Shao Zifeng hesitated, this thing should be fine.
Because he bought all the raw materials at the time, and there seemed to be nothing strange, plus it was the little guy's intentions, Shao Zifeng hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth and biting it.
Soft entrance, a line of throat
does not exist.
Just after chewing twice, Shao Zifeng's body froze instantly, his face flushed.
hot!
Very spicy!
There was also an indescribable numbness that irritated his tongue!
His mouth kept secreting saliva, Shao Zifeng didn't have time to think about other things, he grabbed the broken ice on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.
laugh-
The ice cubes evaporated in his mouth instantly, and a large amount of white smoke poured out of his mouth and nose, and part of it poured into his lungs.
"cough cough"
Shao Zifeng pinched his neck and coughed loudly, his snot and tears flowing out uncontrollably.
"Hey!"
Qiuqiu panicked immediately, climbed onto Shao Zifeng's shoulder, and kept patting his back with his small paws.
It remembered that Eggy also patted it like this when it got stuck eating.
"Cough cough. I'm fine."
After a while, Shao Zifeng lay on the ground, coughing and waving at Qiuqiu.
Fortunately, because he was sitting far away, and with the headwind, everyone over the bonfire didn't notice their embarrassment.
When the irritation in his throat disappeared, Shao Zifeng slowly straightened up and gasped for cold air.
come to life.
"Hey!"
Qiuqiu was lying in his arms, his big eyes watered with tears.
,,,,
"It's not your fault."
Shao Zifeng's voice was hoarse, holding the small ball with both hands.
"But I will still punish you."
After speaking, he blew a few breaths on Qiuqiu's belly, and Qiuqiu was like a child, happily playing with Shao Zifeng.
The celebration over there did not last long. With the discovery of new species, it is not just as simple as naming them. They need to collect as much data and information as possible in this short period of time. In the future, this will be the key to certification with international organizations. Material.
In addition, Wei Yibo seemed to want to subdue a snowy calf, seducing the calf with a wretched smile like a strange slut, so frightened that people stared in horror and kept retreating into the herd.
Fortunately, the ice rock snow cow without the cow king is really gentle, and although there are some riots, there is no extreme behavior.
At this time, Chen Yixin glanced at him, then walked towards him.
"Xiaofeng, give me a hand."
Chen Yixin was wearing a bulky protective suit, and the pit that was blown up by the battle was a bit steep. After trying twice, she reluctantly extended her hand to Shao Zifeng.
Coming out of the pit, Chen Yixin looked at the open ice field and stretched her waist greatly: "I really don't know when the next sunny day will be. It's always cloudy, and I feel like everyone is about to be depressed."
There is no attractive curve, and there is no slender waist. In Shao Zifeng's eyes, this lazy waist is like a bucket suddenly bent, and there is no fluctuation in his heart.
Looking up at the lead-grey dark cloud, it is boundless and depressing: "Sister Yixin, how long will it take us to reach point A of the ice dome."
"Why, are you homesick?" Chen Yixin sat beside him and teased, "I still miss my brother and sister-in-law."
Shao Zifeng glanced at Chen Yixin, and always felt that it was strange that these words came out of her mouth.
"Qiuqiu is also here." Chen Yixin greeted Qiuqiu with a smile after sitting down.
The little guy didn't like Chen Yixin at first, and now he doesn't like it even more after being disturbed.
It snorted a few times unhappily, climbed into Shao Zifeng's protective suit and hid.
The corners of Chen Yixin's mouth twitched, it's so obvious that she hates it.
But she didn't feel embarrassed or anything. It was difficult for the mutant creatures who had already contracted to have a good impression on people other than their masters.
That's not true, but.
Qiuqiu's attitude towards her is too obvious!
"Why are you sitting here, have something on your mind?"
Shao Zifeng shook his head: "These days, I'm either rushing or fighting, and I don't have much time to accompany Qiuqiu. It's rare to have free time today to play with the little guy for a while."
Chen Yixin suddenly became a little silent after hearing his words.
Before coming to Antarctica, she thought it was just an ordinary investigation as usual. Although the environment was a bit harsher, there was not much danger in following the established route. But never thought that there would be all kinds of accidents along the way, and finally rely on Shao Zifeng to help him desperately, which made Chen Yixin feel very sorry for him.
"sorry."
Hearing Chen Yixin's words, Shao Zifeng looked at her in surprise: "Why do you say this so well?"
Chen Yixin murmured twice, but after all, she didn't say anything. She looked left and right: "Where's your pet beast?"
"You mean Lingling." Shao Zifeng said with a smile: "That little guy was too noisy, and I sent him back to the pet space."
Seeing the smile on Shao Zifeng's face, Chen Yixin said sincerely, "You two have such a good relationship, but I always feel that the little guy Qiuqiu has something against me."
"Is there? It doesn't exist." Shao Zifeng let out a haha.
Chen Yixin didn't get too entangled on this issue, but turned her head and looked at Shao Zifeng seriously.
Last year, shortly after the breakthrough of paleontological recovery technology, she had a conflict with the older generation of researchers because of the problem of research direction. Not only was the proposed topic rejected, but the proposal to use the National Pillar Beast of the Twelve Towns of Daxia to assist in the research was even more so. The institute failed to pass.
So she returned to her hometown of Sucheng and applied for a research lab at Sucheng University to prepare to go it alone. Later, Qiuqiu's special body shape and elemental strength were different from other South African armadillo lizards, which attracted her attention.
Later, she used some not very glorious methods and reached an agreement with Shao Zifeng. What she didn't expect was that Shao Zifeng brought her such a big surprise. She used to have doubts, but now she can be sure that the ball is returning. Ancestral evolution.
It is a pity that there has been no time to carry out related research because of the Saber-toothed tiger in the ice sheet.
Looking at Shao Zifeng, Chen Yixin had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
I vaguely remember that when I first met this guy, he was a cautious and sensitive big boy. I didn't expect that after this year, he has become more reliable.
"Cough cough."
Shao Zifeng cleared his throat and felt uncomfortable being stared at by Chen Yixin.
"By the way, I haven't asked Sister Yixin what is wrong with me?"
"Can't I chat with you if I have nothing to do?" Chen Yixin blinked playfully.
Shao Zifeng was dumbfounded.
"I'm teasing you." Chen Yixin smiled and said, "Remember the 'second-stage reaction' I told you before?"
"Second-stage reaction?"
Shao Zifeng was stunned for a moment, vaguely impressed, but because he was manipulating element output with all his heart at the time, he didn't care much about what Chen Yixin said.
"Yes, 'two-stage reaction'."
"The 'bond reaction', you know, is a very rare phenomenon that occurs during the contract, so that the body of the war trainer can be strengthened, and some of them can also gain the ability to master the elements."
"This ability was sought after in the early days of the 'Unknown Recovery Event' and was considered to be a symbol of the 'Son of the Chosen'. It was only after these years that there was no progress in the development of the 'fetter response', which gradually faded out of people's vision."
"I know that."
Shao Zifeng, including the ice horn whale, used the contract four times in total.
Except for Mirage Beibei who didn't share element attributes for some reason, the other three times shared their elemental powers. Although sometimes these powers can play an incredible role, most of the time they feel quite tasteless.
Just like after he lost the Tang Dao, his full firepower plus the thorn halo and the bonus of blood, he could not cause substantial damage to the third-order rock-devouring rat, but just knocked it out.
Chen Yixin shook her head: "I'm not talking about this, but above the 'second-stage reaction'"
"Above the 'Second Stage Reaction'."
Shao Zifeng chewed on this sentence, he didn't even understand what the "second-stage reaction" was, let alone anything above the second-stage reaction.
"Yes, at the beginning of the research on the 'fetter response' in various countries around the world, it was divided into several stages. A small number of elements can be called when the contract is first, but there will be no changes in the war trainer himself, which is called the 'initial response' '"
"As the bond deepens, when the war trainer uses the element ability again, some features of the contracted beast will appear on the body, such as eyes, pupils, hair color, skin color, etc. Because only one feature changes, it is called a 'segment' reaction'."
"After that, just like you did before, the eyes and ears have changed, and there are more elemental abilities that can be manipulated. This is the 'second-stage reaction'. Of course, everyone's reaction appearance is different. The pig's contractor changes its nose and ears"
Speaking of this, Chen Yixin couldn't help laughing.
Shao Zifeng thought about the appearance of the gnawing pig, and couldn't help but smile.
"These are the three stages of what is now known as the 'fetter response'."
"However, this is an old concept put forward more than ten years ago. With the abandonment of research on the 'fetter response', and even the 'second-stage response', there has not been any substantial change, so whether there is a The bond reaction above the second stage is unknown."
Hearing this, Shao Zifeng felt a little puzzled: "Didn't it say that the 'second stage reaction' can control more elemental energy? Why do you say there is no substantial change?"
"More does not mean strong, just like the difference between hitting a pound of cotton and two pounds of cotton is not big. If you can't compress it, you can only expect quantitative changes to cause qualitative changes."
"But it's easier said than done, no one knows how to continue to improve the 'fetter response' stage."
"I said so much, mainly because I saw something different in you. When you used ice elements today, you jumped directly from the 'initial reaction' to the 'second-order reaction', so I am guessing whether it will be There are two more paragraphs."
Thinking about Chen Yixin's words, combined with the changes in himself, Shao Zifeng somewhat understood what she meant.
Even if he is already in the second paragraph of the 'fetter reaction', but if you ask him how to improve, he does not know, or even whether he can improve in the future.
Slowly, a trace of confusion appeared on Chen Yixin's face.
"The more you know, the more you feel ignorant, especially after seeing the old dragon, this feeling becomes stronger and stronger."
"I often wonder if there will be other systems in addition to the combat trainer system, such as the extent to which the 'fetter reaction' will continue to be developed."
Shao Zifeng turned the ring on his finger that was drawn towards the jack-o-lantern. He didn't know how to answer these questions, because he also felt this way, especially after he knew about the existence of the witch.
Chen Yixin didn't expect Shao Zifeng to answer her, she murmured like a dream, "I always feel that there is a bigger crisis lurking in places we can't see."
"But those old men always feel that the crisis is over, maybe twenty years ago was just the beginning." Speaking of which, Chen Yixin smiled wryly and shook her head: "What do I tell you, no one will believe what I say. "
At this time, Chen Yixin lost her superficial ability and decisiveness, and actually gave people a feeling of weakness.
"I believe you."
Shao Zifeng said to her seriously.
Because of the plug-in, Shao Zifeng knows some things that others don't.
Chen Yixin glanced at him in surprise, with a smile on her face.
She didn't think that Shao Zifeng would really believe all this, but with his words, Chen Yixin felt more comfortable.
"expansive!"
At this time, there was a sudden commotion from the distortion in the distance.
All the ice rock snow cows all walked back and forth uneasy, chirping from time to time.
Chen Yixin stood up and pressed the button on the helmet. The expression on her face changed to a capable look again: "Yang Qi, what's wrong with you."
"Professor, I don't know either, the herd is like this all of a sudden."
At this time, Shao Zifeng felt that his spirit was suddenly touched, and he turned his head to look into the distance.
I saw that at the end of the vast snow field, a small figure was running towards them at a very fast speed.
Shao Zifeng was startled, looking at the dense creatures behind the figure, his eyes slowly widened.
