Chapter 1240 Parasitic Wasps and Incubators!
Su Changfa's strength is unknown, but he is proficient in the secret arts of the soul, good at hypnosis and demagogy, and he is not moved by Li Yao who is in the "alchemy stage", and he doesn't pay attention to Li Yao at all.
What's more, he is still the captain of the Qingyang, and even Kou Ruhuo in the Nascent Soul stage respects him, and he is honored as "Old Su".
Nascent Soul stage mid-level, and proficient in the secret art of the soul, once fighting, it is quite difficult to deal with!
Only Tang Qianhe's strength seems to be a little weaker, but it will not be lower than the middle level of the alchemy stage, and it is very likely that he is a strong Jindan!
Two Nascent Souls plus one Jindan, this kind of strength forms an "advance team", which is quite appropriate.
That war base can be regarded as a treasure of the real human empire. It contains countless advanced supernatural powers and technologies of the empire. "It has become a "transport brigade"!"
At this moment, above Kunlun, the strength comparison between the two sides is as follows:
For the empire, two Nascent Souls and one Jindan.
On the federal side, there is a combat Nascent Soul, a research-type Nascent Soul, and a Battle Demon Emperor. They also have an intelligence advantage, are in the dark, and can launch a surprise attack at any time.
In terms of paper data, the federation is more dominant.
However, Li Yao had carefully observed the crystal armors of the three immortal cultivators. Regardless of whether the empire's armor refining technology was high or low, the spiritual shield technology shrouded in the crystal armor was at least two or three times ahead of the Federation.
From the comprehensive analysis of the thickness of the psionic shield, the changing color of the mysterious light, and the frequency of the flames, the defense power provided by these special psionic shields for crystal armor is equivalent to the psionic shields of many spar warships in the federation. Incomparably solid, extremely difficult to break!
Counting the increase of the spiritual energy shield, the paper data of the two sides are comparable, and the empire's side is even slightly higher.
Although the federal team has the first-mover advantage and can launch a surprise attack at any time, the empire also has the blessings of countless illusory soldiers and war bases. If the real fire is combined, it is still unknown who will win the battle!
Li Yao secretly calculated for a long time, and decided that it would be safer to wait for the Liaoyuan to appear before taking action.
If everything goes well, the astronomical torch can be perfectly unfolded in the starry sky, and the Liaoyuan ship carrying dozens of Jindan and Yuanying will arrive within a few days!
Anyway, judging from the information we overheard just now, the three immortal cultivators are not planning to call a large army, but are going to do it themselves!
Within a few days, it is obviously impossible for them to refine too many Taixu warriors.
And they didn't expect that a monster like the "Xingyao Federation" was approaching. They thought they had enough time, but they focused their energy on exploring the remains of Pangu civilization.
Naturally, Li Yao went with the flow and gave them a ride!
After Su Changfa briefly introduced the contents of the Book of Conferred Gods, he also seemed to feel that it would be a little sensitive to continue, so he kept silent and hurried on his way.
Li Yao also wanted to extract more secrets about the immortal cultivators and the real human empire from these "authentic" immortal cultivators, so he found Tang Qianhe with a cheeky face.
This female immortal cultivator is the youngest and the weakest. She is neither as old and cunning as Su Changfa, nor as taciturn as Kou Ruhuo. Although she tried her best to pretend to be ruthless, in Li Yao's eyes, she looked like a grinning little girl. It's as ridiculous as a white rabbit.
"Senior Tang..."
Li Yao smiled all over his face, rubbed his hands together and said, "This junior doesn't understand something, I hope senior will not hesitate to enlighten me!"
Tang Qianhe pouted, showing disdain and vigilance, and looked at him without saying a word.
"Well, uh, the junior was confused and forced to do... such a thing, as a cultivator, do you really not mind it, can you really be forgiven?"
Li Yao scratched his head and asked pitifully.
Tang Qianhe wrinkled his nose slightly, took two steps back calmly, and kept a distance from Li Yao: "Do you mind, of course I do mind a little bit, this has nothing to do with good and evil morality, it is purely a psychological instinct."
"To us, what you have done is like eating a dick to survive under unavoidable circumstances. It's not heinous, it's just disgusting!"
"So, don't worry, as long as you stay away from me, don't use your stinking big mouth to face me, and the other thing is to be obedient and help us complete the task, we don't bother to care about you!"
"Besides, our empire is very large, with hundreds of thousands of worlds and nearly a thousand star fields, each with different customs and customs. There are also many places. Instead of rejecting people like you, they welcome them!"
"I've heard that in many harsh and harsh worlds, the world lords there will gather people like you and organize them into an army, known as the 'ghoul army', also known as the 'hungry ghost road' , It is said that it is an elite force that has broken through all bottom lines and is used to carry out the most cruel missions!"
"If you're interested, I'll take you there when the time comes. Make sure you have a lot in common with those 'ghouls' and 'hungry ghosts', hahahaha!"
Li Yao shivered coldly, shaking his head like a rattle, thought for a while, and then asked, "Empire, what empire?"
"True Human Empire!"
Every pore on Tang Qianhe's face was glowing, his chest was raised high, and he said proudly, "The orthodox heir of the Star Sea Empire, the only guardian of human civilization, in the sea of stars, the most powerful human country in history, the real human country !"
Li Yao didn't understand why she emphasized that it was a "true human country".
After thinking for a moment, I understand.
It seems that in the official propaganda of the True Human Empire, the "Covenant Alliance" is not considered a "real human country", but a "monster" as Kou Ruhuo said!
After thinking about it, Li Yao continued to pretend to be terrified, and timidly said: "This junior is determined to defect to the empire, but after all, this junior has committed a heinous crime. Does the imperial law ignore what this junior has done? "
"law?"
Tang Qianhe had obviously never experienced this kind of thing before, so he didn't know how to answer, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Li Yao, a "new cultivator" who had just surrendered, so he frowned for a long time and sneered, "The law also needs to talk about evidence. , would someone who would do something like yours leave behind any evidence?"
"Yes, yes, what Senior Tang said is right, but this junior is also in a state of disarray, thinking about it for a while!"
Li Yao said embarrassingly, "This junior also wants to take advantage of this incident to learn more about the rules and laws of our true human empire, and to gain more insight into the mysterious and mysterious Dao of True Immortals!"
"What if the same thing really happened in the empire and left indelible evidence?"
Tang Qianhe thought about it seriously, and said: "That depends on who you eat, whether it is an ordinary person or a cultivator."
Li Yao was stunned: "Ordinary people and cultivators, aren't they the same?"
"Of course not."
Tang Qianhe said as a matter of course, "If it is an ordinary person, it depends on whether he has a master. If he is a slave of a cultivator, then depending on the status and cultivation level of the cultivator, he will have to pay a large amount of compensation. Even very rare materials or magic weapons can be let go; if it is a free citizen without an owner, the amount of compensation will be much reduced."
Li Yao clicked his tongue: "Is it all right as long as you lose money?"
"if not?"
Tang Qianhe snorted and said, "Ordinary people are not human at all, but something a little higher than cattle and sheep!"
"In an emergency, you are really hungry. It's no big deal to kill a few cattle and sheep to satisfy your hunger. Isn't it enough to make compensation?"
"What's more, the vast majority of immortal cultivators will provide high insurance for their slaves. If a few slaves die, there will naturally be insurance companies that will compensate for the economic losses. What you actually have to compensate is only the loss of their reputation. That's all!"
"Cows and sheep..."
Li Yao murmured, revealing an expression of an instant breakdown in his outlook on life, the world, and values.
Tang Qianhe looked at him coldly, with a strong sense of sarcasm gradually appearing in his eyes, he sneered and said: "Listen, boy, since you have turned your back on the dark and set foot on the real road of cultivating immortals, the first thing you need to do is to thoroughly Get rid of the outdated concepts established in the cultivation world in the past, and put away that set of self-righteous and hypocritical things!"
"Again, you listen carefully to me that ordinary people are not human at all, just like snails are not cows and whales are not fish!"
"Ordinary people and us cultivators who have awakened spiritual roots are two kinds of creatures that look almost the same in appearance, but the similarity in appearance does not explain any problems!"
"Gene technology is extremely advanced today. We can transform a gorilla into a human appearance through genetic screening and surgery at any time. So what? Is it really human because it looks like a human?"
Li Yao was dumbfounded, and stammered: "I, I still don't quite understand, how are ordinary people and gorillas the same? In the Flying Star Realm, many cultivators were born from ordinary people, and before awakening their spiritual roots, they also They are all ordinary people..."
"Have you ever heard of 'parasitic wasps'?"
Tang Qianhe smiled slightly, and said as if reciting a textbook, "The parasitic wasp is a very special insect. It likes to catch some large prey, paralyze the opponent with special venom and enzymes, and implant its own eggs into the prey. Rely on the nutrients of the prey to nourish the eggs and larvae, until the larvae mature, and then break out of the shell from the prey!"
"During this process, the larvae of the parasitic wasps will even devour the genes of the host, and take on some of the characteristics of the host, allowing the parasitoids to have all kinds of strange shapes and form an ever-changing group!"
"Many parasitic wasps look very similar to some kind of host."
"To an unsuspecting observer, these parasitic wasps look as if they were born from the host!"
"But can you say that these hosts are the parents of parasitic wasps? Of course not, they are just some 'incubators'!" (To be continued.)
