Judging from the battle with Hughes and the others, as well as his explanation of the "Key to the Throne" from space, everyone seems to have been strengthened a little differently, and the changes that have occurred in their bodies are also different.
Even if some people can succeed, their enhancements are relatively limited, just like Alice and Tachibana Shuichi, while for some people, after strengthening, their qualities in all aspects can be improved to an outrageous level.
Just like Shuus, in a normal state, his power is no worse than that of Tachibana Shuichi who activated the Yamata Kotore. After transforming into a dragon, his power improved dramatically.
Brother Chu, since your probability of success is so high, I hope you can become stronger and gain the power you once dreamed of. When the time comes to face Odin, we will fight side by side again.
Now Lu Chen also feels that he may have guessed some patterns. Judging from Brother Fingel and Chu Zihang, the success rate of using the key to this throne is likely to depend on whether it has entered the Nibelungen and whether it has the mark of the Dragon King. related.
That should be an influencing factor that cannot be understood by the secret party's current technology. Combined with the genetic level, it ultimately determines the success rate of enhancement.
"Bang-bang-bang-"
"Bang-bang-bang-"
A clearly audible heartbeat sounded in the tent, from weak and slow at first to rapid and powerful later on.
The blackness on Chu Zihang's face seemed to be slowly receding. The evolution of bloodline was a new life. Washing away the lead would naturally expel the toxins that hindered evolution.
Immediately afterwards, in the threaded gaps on Chu Zihang's exposed skin, some kind of white substance began to secrete, growing and extending.
Lu Chen thought about it and found that it seemed a bit like the white threads he had seen in the Nibelung roots under Mount Fuji in Japan. This meant that Chu Zihang's nirvana was about to begin.
At this point, he was relieved. By evolving into a "half-blood monarch", Chu Zihang should not be poisoned by the inferior snake venom.
Lu Chen exited the tent, and Fingel had just finished eating and looked towards him.
"Senior Brother Fingel, I have to tell you something."
Fingel looked at Lu Chen's serious face and felt heavy for a moment. He patted Lu Chen on the shoulder and said, "Hey, junior brother, I know you have a good relationship with junior brother Chu. I'm sorry."
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Brother Fingel had misunderstood, "No, Brother Chu is fine. He should be able to survive it. What I want to tell you is something else."
Fingel was also a little confused. He thought that Chu Zihang was like that. Not to mention that we didn’t have serum on hand. Even if we did, his condition seemed to be difficult to save. But his junior brother actually said that Chu Zihang could survive. Could it be that he was too sad and delirious? Not clear
"Junior brother, needless to say, come on, have something to eat first. You have been running away all day, and we are not leaving. I will accompany you to find the Nibelungen and kill that Dragon King! Avenge Junior Brother Chu!"
Fingel pulled Lu Chen to sit down and handed the heated can to his junior brother.
Lu Chen was a little helpless, but knowing that Brother Fingel also had good intentions, he took the can and took a sip, saying: "To be honest, what I'm talking about is business. Do you still remember my previous mission, the time to defeat the half-blood monarch?" ”
Fingel nodded and said: "Of course I remember, junior brother, you are so awesome, so you don't deserve to be called a half-blood monarch, and I don't even deserve to carry your shoes."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't bother with this. In short, that organization actually used the tools to strengthen the production of hybrid monarchs. I secretly kept one during the chaos... without reporting it to the academy."
At the end of the sentence, his face turned serious and he looked into Senior Brother Fingel's eyes.
Fingel and Lu Chen looked at each other for a few seconds, then put on expressions of wonder, "Let me just say, junior brother, you have learned something after living with me for so long. You can't hand in all the good things. I’m very happy to leave some foundation for myself, senior brother.”
Then he showed curiosity and said: "Then what? I heard that using that thing can prolong life and cure all diseases. If you are lucky, you can become a super hybrid?"
"Where did you hear that?"
Lu Chen looked at Brother Fingel suspiciously. Even if the other party was a top-notch paparazzi, he shouldn't know this kind of news. Only the school board of directors and those responsible for research knew about the efficacy of leeches.
"In your Eastern terms, snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways."
Fingel laughed, then put on a flattering expression and said, "Junior brother, are you still there? I have a lot of benefits, so don't forget me, senior brother."
Lu Chen spread his hands and said, "It's gone, just one. I originally thought that if Yan Ling couldn't be lifted up in the future, I would try with external help."
Fingel clicked his tongue twice, then suddenly looked at the tent where Chu Zihang was, and let out a confused groan.
I saw countless white threads spreading outwards, pouring into the ice and snow, and constantly exploring forward, as if looking for something.
"It seems that Junior Brother Chu is lucky. This is the beginning of evolution. Tsk tsk, it's like the Dragon Clan forming a cocoon and reaching Nirvana."
Fingel was amazed, and then reminded: "These white threads are looking for nutrients. Let's move the bodies of those giant pythons over here. It's too cold here. The activity of the white threads has decreased, making it difficult to extend forward. Once they evolve, When nutrients are cut off, they are likely to be killed by their own cells.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen quickly stood up and prepared to carry the python carcass, but still looked at Fingel with some doubts, "Where did you know these things?"
He had never seen anything about the various properties of the white silk when dragons formed cocoons even in the Lion Heart Society. Now he felt more and more that Brother Fingel was a bit mysterious.
"Your senior brother, I have been going to school for almost eight years, so I am naturally very knowledgeable. Don't worry about this anymore. Moving the python's body is the real business."
Fingel said, and consciously trotted over to a three- to four-meter-long python, picked it up and threw it next to the tent.
Lu Chen chose the bigger one, inserted the black black into the python's body, and pulled a python that was more than 20 meters long and placed it next to the tent.
Those white silk threads were very keen, feeling the energy of flesh and blood, and immediately clung to them. In a short while, the two giant pythons were tightly entangled, and they seemed to be slowly drying up, obviously absorbing nutrients very quickly.
When Lu Chen and Fingel saw this, they continued to move the python's body. They had nothing to do at the moment anyway.
The two of them worked for a long time, and it was not over until Lu Chen endured his nausea and carefully dragged the bodies of the Hydra to the tent in batches with a black black plug.
The two of them squatted by the campfire, looking at the towering white mountains, and marveled at the magic of evolution.
"Tsk, tsk, junior brother, junior brother Chu is really good at eating. He took care of all the corpses of so many giant pythons..."
Fingal paused as he spoke, his face a little serious again, "... I said, what comes out later won't be a giant dragon."
Fingel's worries are reasonable. He has never seen such transcendent evolution as a hybrid, and he doesn't know whether the organization's evolutionary method is reliable. What if Chu Zihang's humanity is wiped out
If a giant dragon comes out and attacks them, it would be too cruel to let Junior Brother Lu kill it. It would be better to let Junior Brother Chu sleep peacefully.
"Don't worry, according to the analysis of the research team, the evolutionary method of leeches is relatively safe. Either it will fail and only have the effect of extending life, or it will succeed and become a super hybrid without affecting human nature."
Lu Chen's words were half true and half false. According to researchers' analysis, leeches can indeed help people exchange blood and prolong life, but there is no guarantee what they will turn into if they successfully evolve.
Although he thinks that Hughes and others still think in a human way, there is no guarantee that all hybrid monarchs evolved from leeches will retain their original humanity.
But he still dared to assure Fingel because he was not using leeches, but rewards from the synthesis of space debris.
The name of the hidden mission is "False Throne", which refers to hunting down those false hybrid monarchs, but the reward of the mission is called "Key to the Throne", which does not contain the word "false".
The description of the prop also mentions that it can break through the critical blood limit and embark on the true path to becoming a god. In other words, the hybrid enhanced by this prop has the potential to become a true hybrid monarch.
According to the past experience of space descriptions of props, if the user will lose his humanity during the strengthening process, this obvious side effect will definitely be mentioned in the description of the props.
So he previously hesitated to keep it for Eri Yi to try. After all, even if it failed, it might be able to extend his life and stabilize his bloodline. But now Chu Zihang's situation cannot be delayed. This prop is the only thing that can save his life. thing.
Now that he didn't have the key to the throne, the mysterious organization dived again, and he had no way out. He planned to go directly to Japan after this mission. He had to find the remains of the White King and kill him in order to feel at ease.
Seeing that Chu Zihang's condition should be stable for the time being, the two of them felt relieved and took out the only remaining tent from the supplies they had unloaded from the cart before preparing to rest first.
The next day, Lu Chen woke up to Fingel's snoring and pushed away the other person's thigh that was pressing on his abdomen.
Fingel's sleeping condition was indeed very poor, and he didn't know how he was able to get out of his sleeping bag and put his thighs on his body.
After the two woke up, they came out to get some fresh air. Lu Chen moved a box of cans to prepare for a hot "breakfast". He didn't eat well yesterday due to various reasons.
When the two of them were halfway through eating, they suddenly heard a cracking sound. Looking back, they saw a crack on the towering white mountain. The crack was continuously extending, like an egg shell being broken, and the baby bird was about to arrive. world.
The two put down the cans and tableware, and heard a loud rumbling sound from the white mountain peak, as if someone was hitting it with great force inside.
The white mountain peaks trembled for a while and then stopped.
The next moment, a torrent of flames surged out, burning a passage in the belly of the mountain. A red figure walked out of the flames. Wherever it passed, the flames were divided into two parts, consciously making way for it, like It is a salute to the king.
The figure walked out of the white mountain peak, and the biting cold wind of the ice field blew on his naked body, but he did not show the skeletal muscle trembling that biological instinct should have. He stood there as steady as a rock, with his short black half-length hair dancing in the wind, and a pair of The dazzling golden eyes reveal the majesty of a monarch!
Then he turned his head slightly and looked at the two people sitting in front of the portable campfire.
Finger suddenly became nervous. When he looked at Chu Zihang, he felt suffocating pressure. It was almost the majesty of a pure-blood dragon, which made the dragon blood in his body restless and had a tendency to surrender.
What made him even more nervous was that those majestic golden eyes seemed to contain no emotion, and the young man's expression was as cold as an eternal frozen glacier!
The muscles all over Fingel's body tensed up, and a blue-black light appeared on his body surface.
But the next moment, the serious atmosphere was broken. Chu Zihang said calmly: "It's a bit cold. Brother Lu, do you have any clothes?"
Fingel was stunned for a moment, "I said, Junior Brother Chu, since you are fine, you can't talk properly. With a straight face, I thought you were going to fight with us!"
Chu Zihang walked up to Lu Chen, took the new down jacket that the other party took out, put it on and said to Fingel, "Sorry, I didn't want to scare senior brother."
Lu Chen looked at Fingel and wanted to laugh. If the other person knew Brother Chu well enough, he would understand that the other person did not do it unintentionally, because the other person usually had a cold and paralyzed face.
"Senior Brother Fingel, I still want to remind you that you don't have to use the professional spirit of a paparazzi in everything."
Lu Chen looked at Fingel and said seriously.
The fact that he helped Chu Zihang to strengthen could not be known to the academy. It was not that he was afraid that the school board would accuse him of not turning over the finished "leeches" to researchers even though he clearly had them, but that the mixed-blood monarch himself was very sensitive. .
If the people in the college knew about it, they might want to drag Chu Zihang to the equipment department for a 360-degree "physical examination" with no blind spots, which would definitely not be pleasant.
He also didn't want Chu Zihang to be targeted by all kinds of people because of this kind of thing.
Fingel waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, your senior brother, I still have a bottom line. This can't be said to be gossip. If I expose this matter, it won't be a betrayal of my brother. No matter how hard I have no lower limit, I will not betray my brother." Brother’s business.”
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's still a bit lower."
Chu Zihang also nodded and thanked Fingel: "Thank you, senior brother."
He knew that Brother Fingel had been taking care of him when he was unconscious, and Brother Lu seemed to be pulling the cart.
As for Brother Lu, he didn't know what to say. He didn't know what the other party used on him, but it must be extremely valuable and something that Brother Lu could use himself, otherwise Brother Lu wouldn't keep it secretly. of.
"Just stay alive, we'll talk about the rest later."
Lu Chen patted Chu Zihang on the shoulder.
Seeing this, Chu Zihang said no more. After getting dressed, they started eating together around the portable campfire. Strangely enough, he had obviously absorbed a lot of nutrients, but he still felt very hungry at this moment.
"By the way, Brother Chu, how are you feeling now? Do you feel your physical strength has increased? Have you awakened a new spirit of speech?"
Lu Chen asked curiously. It was impossible for Xiu Si and the others to tell him such detailed information, but Chu Zihang was one of his own.
Chu Zihang thought for a while and said, "My body has indeed become a lot stronger. It's so strong that I can't believe it. I estimate that my whole body can now have a strength of seven to eight thousand kilograms."
