Chapter 168 Two Skys of Ice and Fire

The fire ladybug is a creature that defies conventional limitations.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the existence of this thing can be regarded as "unscientific".

It is often said that there are no wonders in the world.

But in different regions of the known universe, the physical rules and corresponding constants are always consistent.

There may be some exceptions in places that humans cannot explore, but these so-called exceptions are still based on certain routines.

Take the simplest example.

The boiling point of pure water is normally 100 degrees Celsius.

However, when the pressure of the atmosphere changes, the temperature value of the boiling point of pure water will change up and down within a certain range.

At this time, the so-called exception appeared.

But at its root, the exception mentioned above is still based on ordinary rules that humans can recognize.

The only problem is that in order to figure out the relationship, an additional new variable must be introduced—atmospheric pressure.

The same reason.

The properties of various elements in the periodic table of chemical elements have universal applicability throughout the universe as we know it.

As for the existence of life, the situation is almost the same.

Generally speaking, human beings have always had certain restrictions on the definition of life.

What kind of things can be defined as living things, what kind of things can not be regarded as living things, there is a set of strict and systematic standards.

It is often said that water is the source of life.

In the eyes of scientists, this does not mean that organisms cannot live without water.

In fact, the correct understanding of this sentence should be:

Water is the best medium for different molecules to form regular combinations and exchange energy with each other.

To put it more simply, there must be water before life can exist.

The constituent elements of water are hydrogen and oxygen. The chemical reactions and relationships between carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are far more complex than other elements in the universe.

In this way, carbon-based organisms have become the mainstream of life in the universe.

And such as silicon-based organisms and amino organisms may exist under some extreme conditions, but this does not conform to the laws of physics and chemistry after all.

So far, they have existed only in human imagination at best.

At least, no similar creature has ever been found in the limited space travel of human beings.

Even, no environment suitable for the existence of such creatures has been found.

As a traverser, Chuhe has experienced several worlds successively. To be more specific, he has entered the fourth world now.

The earth is the hometown of his soul, but it is a pity that he can no longer go back.

The world of the beast master is his second hometown.

According to common sense, a traverser who enters a parallel world will definitely be rejected by the rules of the parallel world.

Because the soul has penetrated the locals, and there is a system blessing.

He successfully resisted this repulsion.

In this way, for Chuhe, there is no difference between the so-called second hometown and the first hometown.

Just like this.

From the moment of crossing, he will live in the world of the beast master for a long time, and there is a high probability that he will die of old age in the world of the beast master, unless

Unless you are lucky enough to find your way home (earth).

The third world is the Titan universe where King Kong Skull Island is located, and the fourth world is the current world.

With the help of the system, he can move in and out of these two worlds at will.

But no matter what, the corresponding repulsive force exists after all.

Therefore, he can't stay in any of these two worlds for too long, otherwise, some bad things will definitely happen.

And this special situation also affected the way he contracted beasts.

According to the rules of the system, if you want to contract the beast masters in these two worlds, you can usually only kill them first, and then the system will directly deprive them of their beast souls.

Immediately afterwards, the system injects these beast souls into some special medium (such as fossil eggs).

They can only be successfully contracted after completing this complex procedure.

Of course, special circumstances also exist.

For example, the Royal Beast Egg and Royal Beast Egg obtained in these two worlds can be directly contracted.

For another example, Chuhe can also directly contract creatures that can be classified as non-scientific existence, such as corpse weeters and fire ladybugs.

Chuhe was not very clear about the things mentioned above.

He has always been doing what the system tells him to do.

As for why he had to do this, he really didn't think too much about it.

But after contracting the corpse beetle and the fire ladybug.

The relevant information just appeared in his mind so naturally, even if he didn't want to know it, he couldn't do it.

The reason why this happens.

The high probability is because the system is afraid that he will make mistakes in different worlds, so it can take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

It's a pity that Chuhe's brain is not on this at all.

Like the corridors of the tomb, the robbery cave he discovered was also pitch black.

As a beast master, Chuhe can easily borrow the abilities and skills of his own beast master.

The latter can basically see things in the dark.

So for him, the dark environment will not be a problem at all.

But this time, he didn't borrow the ability of night vision from his beast master, but took the ten beasts he had just contracted

No, all eleven fire ladybugs were released.

Because the interior of the robbery hole is too narrow.

Eleven fire ladybugs, including seven Wuliang Karma and four Qiong Nai Shenbing, could not spread their wings to fly, and could only crawl along the wall of the tunnel aggrievedly.

Two varieties of fire ladybugs exude blue and red light respectively.

The two colors are entangled with each other. They are distinct, but also have a kind of contradictory harmony. It looks really beautiful.

As the master of the fire ladybug, Chuhe was overjoyed when he saw this scene.

He didn't rush to climb out of the robbery hole, but slowly followed behind the eleven fire ladybugs, enjoying this rare tranquility.

To be honest, Fire Ladybug is a bit neurotic.

No one can deny this.

But in any case, compared with the corpse weeters, their temperament is already very good, at least they are not as tyrannical as the former.

Affected by the contract of beast control, the eleven little guys are extremely friendly to Chuhe.

But their curiosity is too heavy.

She often crawls and crawls on Chuhe's body.

Then stretch out the tentacles and feet, trying to explore the body structure of this "giant creature" that not only makes them feel very friendly, but also makes them willingly obey its commands.

Chuhe didn't mind too much about it.

But even so, he still had to issue orders several times, asking these little guys to stop messing around.

The reason for this is that their body surface temperature is really special.

The temperature of Wuliang Karma Fire is about 500 degrees Celsius. Once ordinary people come into contact with it, they will be scalded immediately.

The temperature of Qiong Nai Shen Bing is just the opposite.

Each of the four little guys exuding crimson light has a surface temperature of around 200 degrees Celsius, but a "-" sign must be added in front of them.

Speaking of it, it was just the dimension of the two fire ladybugs before they broke out.

Once it enters the attack state, and all life energy bursts out, and it will die together.

The temperature released by them can even be doubled on the original basis. (Wuliang Karma is 2000 degrees Celsius, and Qiong Nai Shenbing is close to absolute 0 degrees.)

At this time, the Chu River has been hooking up with the little skeleton lizard in the space of the beast.

With the blessing of the latter's physique, he was barely able to persevere in the face of "harassment" by a few little guys.

But even so, he still felt very uncomfortable.

After all, such an extreme double sky of ice and fire cannot be enjoyed by just anyone.

Therefore, he had to stop several naughty little guys several times.

But I don't know why.

During this process, he felt very relaxed, and even his mood improved a lot.

It's just that he himself feels a little puzzled.

"Meow meow, can it be said that these little things have special skills that make people feel happy? I'm afraid this is not a hallucination?!"

Inexplicably, such an idea suddenly appeared in his heart.

However, the reality is not the case.

According to the system's evaluation, the qualification level of Fire Ladybug is not too high.

According to the standard of the Beast Master inheritance, they have only reached the rare level, and they have not even entered the category of king beasts.

It's just that the fire ladybug is a very special royal beast.

Specifically, for this special creature, its attack power is not proportional to their strength level and aptitude level.

If only calculated by attack power.

Even the most common fire ladybug has reached the level of "Double King Beast", which is a combination of monarch level (strength) and perfection level (qualification).

The reason why the system gives a low rating is mainly because:

In its long but short life, the fire ladybug can only burst out once with all its strength, and then it will completely return to nothingness.

And this undoubtedly greatly reduces their level.

In fact, if there were no such flaws, then the system would not even rate them lower than the Horned Bull Demon.

That's right, the fire ladybugs are indeed very powerful when they burst out at full strength, but among their attack attributes, they don't include the ability to create hallucinations.

Also, they don't really feel relaxing.

Now, the reason why Chuhe has such an illusion is that he is really in a good mood at this moment.

Since crossing, Chuhe has been living in tension and anxiety.

He may not have felt it yet.

But in fact, he was under a lot of pressure in the world of the beast master.

People like this, sometimes happiness comes very simply.

For Chuhe, traveling to the fourth world this time is relatively smooth overall.

In addition, now he is in a relatively closed environment.

Facing this rare tranquility and the joy of a few naughty little guys, he felt a little strange, but it was actually quite normal.

So, there are some things that he just thinks too much.

What's interesting is that it was precisely because of these weird ideas that Chuhe suddenly had some different thoughts about the fire ladybug he had contracted with.

One of the most important purposes of the Beast Master's contract is to let it fight for itself. This is the fundamental meaning of the existence of the Beast Master's inheritance.

Ordinary beast masters have a high probability of being able to accompany the master to continuously grow and advance in battle.

However, in terms of the particularity of the fire ladybug, it is obviously impossible to do this.

To some extent, they are actually a kind of disposable consumables, and Chuhe thought so before.

But now Chuhe doesn't want to do that.

Let's talk about the future, at least if he has a choice, he doesn't want to sacrifice these eleven fire ladybugs at will.

He stared at Wuliang Karma that was climbing on his shoulder for a while.

Chuhe shook his head suddenly.

"You little fellow, lucky you, from today onwards, you will enjoy the same treatment as big-headed silkworms."

Anyone who is a person will talk about close relatives, and Chuhe is no exception.

Now, he has contracted a lot of beasts, the most special of which are only two beasts, namely the little skeleton lizard and the big-headed green silkworm.

It's just that starting today, eleven more fire ladybugs will be added.

This is an unexpected decision, even Chuhe himself did not think that he would do this.

After pondering for a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he reached out and touched the fire ladybug that was about to climb up his neck, then sped up and crawled towards the exit of the robbery cave.

Chuhe experienced some small mood swings.

The few workers on the other side of the tomb corridor are facing a life-and-death crisis.

Rewind the time to a few minutes ago.

Among the four workers, Xiaojie was the most unreliable in his work. When he saw the fire ladybug, this kid actually stepped forward to catch it.

As far as this point is concerned, this guy's courage is really great.

If the time and place were changed, Xiaojie would naturally not have any serious problems doing so.

But this is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor after all.

For these "intruders", this place is definitely not a good place, but Xiaojie did such an untimely thing.

Ever since, his life soon tasted the evil results of his own planting.

Xiaojie's behavior was regarded as a malicious attack by a poor soldier.

Without any hesitation, the latter immediately entered a runaway state.

The next moment, the irritated Qiong Nai Shen Bing retracted its wings and threw itself straight at Xiao Jie, before sinking into Xiao Jie's chest.

At the beginning, Xiaojie didn't react.

When he realized what had happened, a bone-piercing chill erupted in his body, and immediately his consciousness completely dissipated.

In an instant, he changed from a living person to a corpse.

It's just that because things happened too fast, his body still maintains its original appearance for the time being, but this is only a superficial phenomenon.

In fact, now he has become a lump of ice powder.

The explosion of Nai Shenbing caused the surrounding temperature to drop by nearly 30 degrees in an instant.

Fortunately, Qiong is the strange energy emitted by the eruption of Shenbing.

Most of them were absorbed by Xiaojie.

So Brother Zhang and the others around only felt a bit of biting cold, but they didn't suffer from frostbite.

"It's cold. Xiaojie, are you okay?"

Something feels wrong.

Zhang subconsciously hugged his arm, and then took two steps forward, wanting to check Xiaojie's situation.

But his actions caused a slight shock.

As a result, under the gaze of the three, Xiaojie's body collapsed inexplicably, turning into countless ice powders.

"."

Faced with this magical scene, Brother Zhang, Lao Liu, and the other worker's minds instantly went blank.

At this moment, they don't even know what happened.

In other words, even if they knew what happened, with their ability and vision, they couldn't understand why things turned out like this.

"Buzz!"

While Brother Zhang and the others were in a daze, a few more fire ladybugs flew out from the depths of the tomb passage, a total of five.

This time, what came out was not only Qiong Nai Shen Bing, but also Infinite Karma Fire.

It's red light and blue light again, and it's pretty nice to intertwine.

With the appearance of these fire ladybugs, Brother Zhang and the three finally came to their senses. They didn't know what happened, but one thing was certain.

The scene just now was definitely not a magic trick.

Their companion Xiaojie died, right in front of them.

Xiaojie's death was sudden and magical. Although there was no scene of blood flowing or flying limbs, it still had a huge impact on them.

Human beings' greatest fears often stem from the unknown.

Likewise, when facing fear.

Human beings are often able to burst out the greatest energy.

Seeing a few fire ladybugs in the air, Brother Zhang reacted quickly after a brief moment of stupefaction.

"Old Liu, Xiaolu, run!"

Without any hesitation, he turned his head and yelled at the two companions beside him, then threw away the shovel in his hand, and climbed up to the gap in the corridor with his bare hands.

In the blink of an eye, he climbed a height of more than one meter.

If you go further up, there is a gap of more than one meter, because there is no handle, it is difficult for ordinary people to climb up by their own strength.

Faced with this scene, Brother Zhang jumped violently.

Immediately afterwards, he thrust his hands hard into the soil layer, and he was actually allowed to penetrate it.

In this way, as long as you work harder, you might really be able to climb out.

Lao Liu and Xiaolu were not idle either.

Seeing that brother Zhang had the hope of climbing out, he and the two of them immediately followed suit.

What happened next was somewhat unexpected.

Old Liu copied Brother Zhang's actions very well. Xiaolu, who was much younger than him, fell down instead and let out a scream.

What's worse is his scream.

But it attracted the attention of a few fire ladybugs.

All of a sudden, there was a world of ice and fire between them and Chuhe.
