Volume 20, Palm 94, Radioactive Materials?

Because of Lili's terrifying devouring ability, we finally advanced three or four kilometers into the passage along the passage unimpeded. 【 】However, after that, the road in front of us suddenly disappeared.

That's right, the passage is only three or four kilometers deep, and beyond that there is a wall made of wood and soil blocking the way. This wood is not a wooden board or stick that is artificially processed, but a tangled tree root. These tree roots are entangled together, and there is a large amount of soil in the gaps that blocks the entire passage, without even a single gap.

The huge meat ball kept squirming and shrinking in front of us, occasionally throwing out some shapeless rotten meat, and finally turned into a human-shaped ball of meat. Then the color of the surface of the meat ball began to change, from the original colorful one. The colorful color quickly transformed into slightly pink flesh and instantly covered the entire body. Then the special parts of the hair, eyes, and nails were differentiated, and Lili appeared in front of us again as a beautiful mature girl.

"Master, I have cleaned up all the monsters, but I can't chew this mud anymore!"

I nodded and said, "You just swallowed so many monsters, aren't any of them suitable for digging holes?"

Lili's ability is not just as simple as swallowing. She has three main abilities, or her abilities are divided into three steps. The first step is the devouring just now, which can eliminate a large number of enemy targets. Although this ability is very ineffective against high-level creatures, it can definitely be regarded as a miscellaneous killer. No matter how many enemies there are, this devouring ability can only give us experience. The second step is feedback, that is, extracting the excellent genes of the devoured life forms, screening them and feeding them back to me, the master, and this improvement can use me as the intermediate medium to affect the genes of all my familiars, making them common. strengthen. Speaking of which, this second step is actually the biggest role of lili silk. The third step is the directed evolution of lili silk itself. This ability allows Lili to evolve on the spot into a powerful combat creature suitable for the current situation based on various previously extracted genes and quickly enter the battle. Because it is a targeted evolution, this form of lili silk is very suitable for dealing with those stronger creatures. Even if the overall strength is weaker than the opponent's, due to targeted evolution, the opponent's special abilities may be ineffective against one's own, and one's own will also have the ability that the opponent is most afraid of. Under the premise that this attribute can completely restrain the opponent, even if the level is weaker, the opponent can still be easily suppressed. These are Lili's three major abilities.

Now I ask Lili to use the evolutionary ability among the three major abilities that is specially used to deal with single monsters. However, I don't want her to deal with any monsters now, I just want her to dig a hole.

Lili thought for a while after hearing my order, and then said: "It seems that I do have a biological gene that is very suitable for digging holes. Then you guys stay back and I will dig holes." Lili just finished her words The body quickly expanded, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a giant centipede-like creature with a length of 100 meters, and the large pincers at the front slammed into the tree roots and clamped hard, with a cracking sound. A large number of tree roots were pinched off, and then the centipede's claws and other claws rushed up, and they dug into the soil in two or two strokes.

Watching the huge body disappear into the soil, we immediately followed it and got in. However, although the hole was dug, the situation inside was a mess.

When digging a hole underwater, dust will be raised just like on land. The difference is that dust in the air dissipates quickly, but not in water. After we followed Lilisi all the way into the cave, we felt that there was mud everywhere, and even my dark vision could not see anything at all. My dark vision can only see things in the dark, not clairvoyance. The suspended mud in the mud blocks my sight, so even if I have dark vision, I still can't see things.

Fortunately, Aina's sonar detection and Pepper's telekinesis are not affected, so we don't have to worry about hitting the wall.

The passage Lili helped us dig was only about twenty meters long in total. After passing through that area, the soil disappeared without a trace, and we entered a body of water again.

After Lili returned to her normal shape and gave way to the passage, we finally saw what the new water looked like.

This is a fairly small body of water, and the overall size is the size of an indoor basketball court. However, it is worth mentioning that the environment here is also bright, not the same dark environment as outside. However, although there is light here, it does not emit light like the bright waters where the piranhas live. The water here is normal. The reason why it glows is because there is a glowing crystal ball suspended in the center of the water.

"It seems that this is what we are looking for." said the little dragon girl who turned into a human form.

Chili Pepper also nodded and said: "I can feel this thing is interfering with my thinking."

"Speaking of interference, why do I feel like this thing is changing my genetic arrangement?" Lilisi said suddenly.

"Change the genetic arrangement?" I looked at Lili in surprise and asked, "What kind of change is it?"

Lili replied uncertainly: "I don't know what kind of change it is. Anyway, my genes are being affected, and many gene chains have connection errors. Regardless of whether I can restore my own genes, this thing will do nothing to me. Influence."

Upon hearing what Lilisi said, the little dragon girl immediately asked: "Will this affect our genes?"

Lili shook her head and said: "There will definitely be an impact, but because of my existence, your genetic sequences can be corrected from me, so you can return to normal as soon as you leave the source of interference."

"Does it affect genes and mental health?" I looked at the luminous object suspiciously and said, "Is this thing made of radioactive material? Why does it sound similar to the effect of nuclear radiation?"

"Are there any nuclear materials in the game?" Chili asked suspiciously.

Xiao Longnu shook her head and said: "It has not been discovered so far, but since almost everything in reality can be copied in the game, it is not incomprehensible to discover nuclear matter, right?"

"What are you talking about?" As a demon pet who has never been to the real world, Lili is completely confused about our conversation. "What kind of nuclear substance are you talking about? You seem to know some secrets that I don't know. Master, I am also your demon pet after all. Do you want to be fair?" Lili said. It lost its shape and started to spread when it was attached to me. However, if I hadn't seen her eating and just seen her current appearance, I might still be confused. But after seeing her true face, I would probably only dare to treat her as a woman. Demon-level super perverts are capable of this. In my opinion, Lili is scarier than the painted skin in exotic novels. After all, she is just an evil ghost wearing a layer of human skin. Anyway, the layer of skin you touch is still that of a beautiful woman, but Lili has never been He is a complete monster inside and out!

I didn't care about Lilisi's feelings, I just stuffed her back into the training space. As an excellent beast tamer classification player, the most important ability is not how to take care of the familiar, but how to give appropriate care and dignity according to the character of the familiar. For example, people like Ling are basically Cleopatra type. She is very capable. She can take charge of her role when you are not around, and she can fully assist you when you are around. For a familiar like this, all you need is to show respect and ensure that you are strong. Let her worship you and feel that you value her. This is enough. If you pamper her like a little girl, the end result will be counterproductive. On the contrary, you must adopt a paternalistic attitude towards an unconventional magic pet like a princess. Basically, you can just treat her as your disobedient daughter. As for Lili... it should be said that she is the kind of erotic demon pet. Although this metaphor is a bit strange, it is indeed appropriate. The policy you need to take when dealing with a familiar like her is to ensure your absolute authority and don't listen to any of her suggestions. Even if she is right, you must criticize her first and then use other excuses to prove the suggestion. The correct nature, in short, is not to let her have any sense of superiority, because as long as this kind of person gives her some color, she can raise her tail to the sky. The more condescending you are to such a being, the more she will try to stick to you. To put it bluntly, this kind of character is what is called a bitch. The better you treat her, the less she will take you seriously. The crueler you are to her, the more she will treat you like her biological father.

Without Lili's interference, our conversation will be much more convenient, but before that, we must first figure out what this thing is.

"Pepper, check if there are any other water inlets here?"

Chili closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then said: "Probably not."

I nodded, and then directly pulled a steel plate out of Fenglong Space, and then asked Everett and Brigitte to work together to weld the steel plate to the wall of the cave entrance, turning this space into a completely closed space.

After completing the sealing work, I summoned rose vines to grow around the hole and support the steel plate. It's okay if there's water pressure now. But when we pump out the water later, that steel plate may not be able to block the pressure from the outside.

After the rose vine was confirmed to be reinforced, I opened the door to the earth and put all the water in the cave into the lake in the garden of Mother Obito. After all the water in the space is drained, we can finally take a good look at this thing with the help of sunlight from the Earth Gate.

I always thought this was a crystal ball, but it wasn't until now, under the sunlight, that I discovered that it was actually more like a jade ball. It is not transparent in itself, but has a mixed color of green and bud yellow.

The volume of this sphere is about the same size as a five kilogram shot put, maybe slightly larger than the shot put. The surface of the sphere is very smooth, without any unevenness or cracks. However, this smoothness is only the result of visual judgment. Because we are not sure whether this thing is really radial, we didn't dare to touch it at all.

Because the water in the cave has been completely drained, I summoned all the magic pets that have been in the real world to help me see what this thing is. As a result, no one discovered anything except the feeling that this thing was extremely powerful. Although both Ling and Xiaochun finally guessed that this thing was probably some kind of radioactive element, there is no nuclear physics equipment in the game at all. It is impossible to make a definite judgment based on the eyes alone. Just guessing at the external performance.

"It seems that if you want to know what this is, you can only take it back and study it!"

"At least we know where the monsters here come from," Chili said.

Xiao Longnu also nodded and said: "Yes, if this is really radioactive material, then it is reasonable for some mutated monsters to appear here."

"Then take this thing back first and see if you can complete the mission. If the mission is completed, it will be said that this thing is responsible for the proliferation of monsters. But if this thing is really a radioactive material, it is obviously not possible to just take it back directly. It's a pity. I don’t even have a lead plate with me!”

"If such a large piece of material is really radioactive, how can it be blocked by a lead plate alone? At least a multi-layered lead bottle will be used. Besides, the amount of lead in the game is not large, and it is impossible for normal people to carry it with them. Lead plate." Ling suggested: "However, even if there is no lead plate, we can use something else to replace it. Lead plate can block radiation because heavy metals can absorb radiation bo, so if there is no lead plate, gold plate can also be used, that is The cost is a bit high.”

"Gold?" I remembered it as soon as I heard it. It seems that gold can also block radiation. Of course, considering the value of gold, it is impossible for normal people to use gold to block radiation in reality. It is purely a sign of having money but no other options. But, it's different here. Although the gold in the game is also a precious metal, it is nothing compared to fine gold, mithril, etc. Besides, I’m just temporarily using gold to make a bottle to put this thing in. When I go back and take it out, wouldn’t it be the same if the gold is melted into something else?

Since there is a way, it would be easy. First open the Fenglong space, and then pour hundreds of gold bricks out from inside. It is not the kind of gold bricks that are about the same size as mahjong tiles in reality, but the kind of large gold bricks that are really as long as red bricks and slightly thinner than red bricks. In reality, this kind of thing should actually be called a gold ingot. Most people are not strong enough, and you can't move even one piece.

As soon as hundreds of gold ingots were poured out, Chili Pepper used his mind power to lift them up. Then Everett released the flames to melt the gold bricks, and then Chili Pepper shaped it into a rather thick one with a lid. Sealed jar. Finally, Shuangxue was responsible for the cooling. After the gold solidified, I stuffed the suspected radioactive material into it. Then Chili Pepper, Everett and Shuangxue worked together again to seal the lid and fuse it with the tank. Whole, and finally cooled to solid shape. Now the entire gold tank has become a sealed structure that cannot be opened at all. If you want to take out the contents, you can only destroy the tank body.

After confirming that there was no problem with this thing, I threw the jar into the Fenglong space, and then took back most of the magic pets, leaving only Xiaolongnu and Chili.

Close the gate to the earth and let the rose vine cancel its support. Then the water pressure from outside will automatically open a big hole in the steel plate sealing the road. He re-entered the water world and returned along the original path. As a result, there was not a single monster left outside, and they all went to nowhere.

Because I thought that the suspected radioactive material was the mission target, I ignored those monsters and returned directly to the bright waters where the gravity stabilizer was. However, I didn’t expect to see piles of monsters there as soon as I arrived. Hit the cave door we just welded. At this time, the door had been hit and bumped like a beach after rain, but at least the steel plate was thick enough and deformed, and it did not fall apart after all.

The levels of these troublesome monsters were not high. As soon as the pepper passed by, they were all under control. However, when we rescued the piranha technicians inside, we were scolded by them. The technicians were obviously frightened. But think about it, if you were put in a container and thrown into Jurassic Park, and then a group of carnivorous dinosaurs rammed around the container, you would watch the thin steel plate of the container being deformed little by little. , what does that feel like in your heart? Normal people would be scared crazy anyway.

Faced with the accusations from the technical staff, we had no way to refute. After all, we were negligent. But this is a wake-up call for us. At least it makes me understand that taking away the source of mutation is not the entire task. We also have to clean up the mutated monsters.

"Damn, this water area is so big. How long will it take to find every monster?" Although I had made a decision, I still frowned when I stood at the entrance of the dark water again. . This ghost place is not the kind of environment where you can see the entire area at a glance. It would be okay if those monsters came to die on their own initiative, but it would be terrible if they were determined to play hide and seek with me. Although I can always catch them in the end, I don’t want to waste time with them!

Chili Pepper also said: "Those monsters are easy to deal with, but this place is really too big! It's a lot of work to kill all the monsters without missing a single one."

When Xiao Longnu heard what we said, she suddenly said: "By the way, why are we looking for monsters? Can't we just let them come to us?"

"Let them come to us?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I came to my senses. "That's right. Why am I so stupid! That source of mutation is not the mission target at all, then it's a mission prop!"

We found so many monsters near the source of mutation before. That does not mean that the source of mutation created so many monsters in an instant, but that it attracted monsters to actively approach it, which caused the monsters to gather in groups near it. At that time, the thing was blocked in an independent water area by a wall composed of tree roots and soil. As a result, it still attracted so many monsters. If we took it out directly here, the monsters in the entire water area would not be able to attack us. Come here to die?

"Hey, it's easy now." I directly cut open the gold jar containing the mutation source, then took out the mutation source and handed it to Lili, who had just been released by me. All I needed to do after that was wait.

However, what I thought was a perfect plan turned out to be a problem. It's not that the source of mutation didn't attract monsters, or that there are powerful individuals in the monster group that we can't deal with, but there's something wrong with Lili.

"Lilis? What's wrong with you?"! .
