Chapter 352: Great Harvest of Experimental Subjects
The mutated monster already has a length of more than 120 meters. In terms of body shape, it has a similar evolutionary direction to the monster that Mira killed before. The forelimbs have been shortened into a relatively short state, but in fact it is only slightly smaller in proportion. , it doesn’t really get smaller, and it still looks very intimidating.
The monster's hind limbs have obviously increased in proportion compared to before. Not only are they thicker, but they are also much elongated, so that the creature that was originally close to a crocodile or lizard is now in an upright position like an ostrich, and the guy's four The claws are obviously enlarged and elongated. The most important thing is that the sharp barbs on the claws are shining with cold light. You can tell that they are very intimidating at a glance.
In addition to the changes in the limbs, the monster's scales have also disappeared, replaced by a layer of wrinkled skin, which looks rougher than the skin of an elephant, and the surface is severely keratinized. Although there is no calcification, it looks... I know the defense is not low.
The monster's body has not changed much, except that the abdomen has been slightly enlarged to accommodate the two long legs. However, there is an inexplicable extra vertical fin on the back that extends from the top of the head to the tail. Pointed, it looks like it has completely transformed into an amphibious creature. In addition, the tip of this guy's tail seems to have mutated, and actually grew a bony spike, which should look very offensive.
Speaking of changes, this guy's head should be the most changed part. Originally, this guy's head was somewhere between a crocodile and a lizard. It can be said that the head is basically a flat triangle, but now the triangle is still a triangle, but it is no longer flat, but stands up and becomes upward. The pull-down state. This change gives this guy more biting muscles, which also means that its attack power has increased. Also, this guy's eyes were originally protruding, which is very common in lizards, but now they are sunk in the sockets. This variation helps protect the eyes from damage during a fight. Of course it also reduces the sight range. However, as a predator, you only need to keep an eye on the target, and always observe the movements around you that are required by the preyed creatures.
The monster with the new transformation can be said to be basically similar to the monster that Mira killed before. Except for the increase in size and the addition of a spike at the tip of the tail, it is just a small change in the proportion and shape of the head. However, the key part now is not to look at the change of this monster's combat power, but to look at the change of its intelligence.
The monster that was killed before was completely unable to communicate. And he was extremely irritable, so he crashed through the ceiling of the laboratory and ran out. Then he was hunted by me. The biggest improvement of the new medicine is the addition of drugs to protect the brain. I hope this thing can maintain a certain degree of sanity. It doesn't matter if it's violent, as long as it can be tamed.
When I carefully watched the reaction of the monster over there, the monster gradually adapted to its own changes. It slowly stood up from the ground, and then suddenly looked up to the sky and roared. The huge sound wave bounced back and forth in the confined space, which was comparable to a sonic bomb. The pharmacists who were climbing the stairs almost immediately let go of their hands holding the railing and covered their ears instead. This action caused an uncomfortable sound. A few people slipped and fell, causing quite a bit of chaos. Fortunately, no one fell off the escalator, it was just a fall.
After a five-second roar ended, the monster immediately spewed hot air and turned to look at the spiral staircase over there. After all, compared to me who was standing there quietly, I said that the size and sound of the escalator were bigger. It was more attractive than me, so the monster took long strides and rushed over there without hesitation.
The pharmacists over there screamed and climbed up as soon as they saw the monster charging towards them. As a result, you pushed me and made the situation even more chaotic. But we can't blame them. After all, they are just pharmacists, and fighting is not their specialty. It is normal to be weaker in areas that you are not good at.
Although the monster didn't rush towards me, I still want the method of mixing that potion, so nothing can happen to these researchers. After watching the monster rush past me with long strides, I snapped my fingers. The sickle suddenly appeared next to me, and then two spider silks shot out, accurately hitting one of the monster's legs. But what's a little troublesome is that the monster's power is obviously much beyond expectations. Although the sickle has eight legs, the difference in size is too obvious, and it can't pull the guy at all. It almost only affects the guy's balance slightly before he is pulled. passed.
Saw the sickle being dragged away. I quickly summoned Lucky, Plague and Mira together. This time, they did not use the killing form to annihilate. All three dragons jumped directly onto the monster.
Although the monster itself was very large and very powerful, three dragons plus one were not something that ordinary creatures could carry. As a result, the guy was thrown to the ground without any surprise, and finally when it fell , the tip of the mouth was less than two meters away from the spiral staircase. Some pharmacists who were lower down even felt the hot air blowing from the monster's nostrils when it fell.
Although they were scared to death, the gang soon realized that they had been saved, but they did not dare to stay here because the monster below was too close, and the thing was just knocked down and Not subdued.
Sure enough, the monster struggled to stand up just after being knocked down. Without the impact of the flying attack, the weight of the three dragons was still unable to suppress this guy, and actually allowed it to gradually push up. Mira turned over and got in front of the guy and kicked the wall behind. Then she hugged the guy's head with her forelimbs and pushed it down desperately, while Lucky and Plague held on to the guy's legs one on the left and the other on the right. His hind legs made it impossible for him to stand up.
The monster restrained in this way can only wave its big tail desperately, but unfortunately the tail alone does not have enough rotation angle when the body is controlled. In fact, it does not have much power at all, and luck and plague are actually It is already in the blind spot of its attack. As for that guy's forelimbs, although they are quite scary, the only target that can reach is Mira. However, Mira is a gem dragon, and her whole body is like diamonds. When the monster's claws grab Mira's body, there is nothing but friction and sparks flying around. Nothing works.
"Ouch..." The suppressed monster launched that sonic attack again, but as soon as it made a sound, it was knocked back to its stomach by Mira's elbow. But the guy didn't give up. He actually struggled to shake his head and barely freed his mouth, and then took a sharp breath.
The three people present are all dragons, although Mira is a material dragon. Not a giant dragon, but they are all dragons after all, and they know dragon flames very well. The movements of the creature in front of them instantly reminded them of the preparations for spraying dragon flames. Mira was so frightened that she quickly turned the guy's head to the side, and then saw a bright white fire pillar spray out, instantly destroying the experiment. A large hole was penetrated in the wall on the right side of the area, and the soil and rocks inside were directly dissolved into magma.
"Holy crap. How come this guy's dragon flames are stronger than ours?" Lucky said while suppressing the guy's legs.
Mira shouted: "Master, I can't suppress it anymore!"
"Hold on."
Mira and Lucky are actually much more powerful than this creature individually. If they really wanted to fight, any one of them could kill this monster within a minute, but now that they were controlling it instead of killing it, it would be much more difficult. Controlling a target requires pure physical strength, so Mira and the others need to spend more physical energy to restrain this monster than fighting.
Seeing that Mira alone couldn't control the guy's head, I just waved my hand, and the Spirit Controlling King Kong appeared next to Mira. I went up and punched the monster's head, and then pinched the guy with Mira. Don't let the big head move around. The sickle, which had been thrown aside by the guy before, quickly rushed forward. Then he climbed up to the guy's mouth and protruded a spider silk and started running up and down in circles. Soon the monster's upper and lower jaws were tightly tied together by a thick layer of spider silk.
Although the scythe is not as big as this monster, its spider silk is definitely the strongest rope. Not to mention this guy, even a tank can't even think of breaking the scythe's spider silk, let alone this guy's mouth The spider silk on it is no longer as simple as one or two, but the entire thing is wrapped in a layer of spider silk as thick as a blanket. Even if that guy's strength suddenly increased a hundred times, he couldn't hope to break through such a thick spider silk.
After the mouth was sealed, the guy couldn't spit any more. It didn't take much effort for Mira to simply control the guy's head to prevent it from losing control. King Kong began to cooperate with luck and plague to control the guy's head. The two legs were pulled back, and finally they were gathered together with the tail, and the sickle was wrapped again with spider silk. Soon the guy's tail and legs were fixed in a spider silk tube and could no longer be removed. At this time, I signaled Mira to let go.
The released monster struggled to stand up as soon as it lost control, but its tail and hind legs were fixed together. So I couldn't stand up, so I had to try to crawl with my forelimbs. However, after its mutation, the proportions of its forelimbs have shrunk, and its mobility is very poor when crawling. Coupled with the fact that his mouth was sealed, he couldn't bite or breathe fire. Now this guy has completely lost his intimidation.
The pharmacists who had used this time to crawl back to the observation room saw that the monsters outside were under control and began to run down one after another, but the speed was much slower than before. After all, the observation room was more than 40 meters away from the ground. meters high. Before, they had to run back halfway down. Even climbing the stairs had exhausted too much energy for this group of researchers who had little physical strength. Now, all of them were holding on to the railings and moving down like seventy-year-old men.
The monster below was tied up like a shrimp. After struggling for a few times, it finally realized that it couldn't break free at all. So it started to twist and run towards the corner with its forelimbs. It was obvious that it was starting to get scared.
The researchers seemed very excited about the monster's reaction. After they came down, they began to comment on the monster huddled in the corner. From their conversation, I roughly understood that the fact that the monster is afraid now means that the animal instinct is normal. , so there is the possibility of domestication. The result of their previous test was that the monster had no normal biological reactions at all, so it could not be tamed at all.
"Does this count as a success?" I asked looking at the Ninth Prince who just ran down.
The Ninth Prince nodded excitedly and said: "Basically it is a success, but this can only be said to be a successful drug test. It is not clear whether this kind of creature can be used by us. After all, even if the biological instinct is preserved, it does not necessarily mean that it can be domesticated. Come for our use.”
I nodded, but in my heart I was thinking about the use of this thing in our guild. Although the Ninth Prince said that many monsters cannot be tamed even if they retain normal animal instincts after mutation, but that is for them, not for us. Because our guild has a serious tendency toward darkness, our guild's research on undead magic is very advanced. Although our guild has not produced large groups of undead creatures, in fact, our guild's application of undead magic is very common. If nothing else, they are the mobile angels in our guild. Their artificial soul is actually a branch of undead magic. Although it is now planned to be in the alchemy research laboratory, the essence of that thing is actually the fusion product of undead enslavement magic and the lich's phylactery production technology, so although it appears on the surface It appears to be alchemy technology, but its essence is undead magic.
Precisely because our guild's research on undead magic is very advanced, the use of this kind of creature is actually not a big problem in our guild. As long as we can capture powerful creatures alive, we can use a special device to control them. I have seen this kind of equipment before in the New World Experimental Area. But no one has ever thought of using that thing to control Warcraft to fight for themselves, because capturing Warcraft itself is a thankless task. If you really have the ability to capture it alive, it would be more cost-effective to make a magic pet. Naturally, no one would think of using that kind of biological controller. But it's different now. If I can get this potion, it means that we can produce high-level monsters, but when the number of monsters is large enough, it will not be cost-effective to capture them into magic pets. After all, although magic pets can be upgraded and resurrected after death, the number of magic pets is limited and needs to be cultivated slowly. The most important thing is that they occupy the magic pet slot and cannot be replaced. In comparison, if you can take a large group of these monsters out to fight...it would be very exciting just thinking about it.
"By the way. Do you have other laboratories? This creature can't get out of here at all, and I don't have time to wait for you to slowly tame this thing, so you'd better have other laboratories where we can start the next creature. attempt."
"No, we only have this large laboratory." After the Ninth Prince finished speaking, he immediately followed up: "But we don't have to complete the experiment in the laboratory, right?"
I was stunned for a moment when I heard what the Ninth Prince said, and then I came to my senses. They built such a laboratory before because the monster would become very violent after mutating. In order to prevent the monster from getting out of control, they needed a solid laboratory to trap the monster, in case the monster proved unable to use it. They are also handy for killing monsters. However, after seeing my previous performance, this restriction is actually unnecessary.
The gap between the combat power of those monsters and mine is obvious, and there is no need to imprison them at all. As long as I hold the original sample and inject the medicine, I will throw the monster out after the monster starts to mutate. After the monster transformation is completed, I can immediately go up and test whether the creature is valuable. If it is not valuable, I can kill it directly. If it's valuable, just tie it up like the one just now. So, as long as I am here, the laboratory is actually no longer necessary.
Under the order of the Ninth Prince, the group of pharmacists left only a few assistants here to continue analyzing the monster. The others followed the Ninth Prince and me to the ground, and then ran outside the village to find an open space. I plan to experiment here. Of course, due to the previous situation. After they explained the situation clearly, they all ran to stand far away, and each of these pharmacists was protected by a furbolg knight riding on the furbolg. If the monster here went crazy, they could Turn around and run. With my restraint, it is absolutely impossible for those monsters to catch up with those furbolgs even if they mutate.
Because there had already been an experiment, I roughly knew the experimental steps. After the other party told me the precautions, he ran to a far away place and started watching me do it.
The target of this experiment is a furry, hamster-like creature that was originally a working pet kept by local people. Their role in local people's homes is somewhat similar to cats raised by humans. The difference is that cats are mainly used to deal with mice, while this creature is used to deal with bugs. This little hamster-like creature is actually larger than a hamster, about the same size as an ordinary house mouse, but its athletic ability is much stronger than that of a mouse, and its jumping ability is almost as good as a kangaroo. Their huge and protruding eyes can see small insects flying in the air at night and prey on them, thereby eliminating pests. In reality, this is simply a biological mosquito coil.
Because this thing is very small and a very docile creature, I directly let Mira transform into a human form and hold this thing with both hands and start pouring the medicine. The taste of this potion is obviously very bad, so the creatures that were fed the potion struggled very hard. Fortunately, this little thing is not very powerful. So even though I had no experience, I quickly completed the filling work.
After the potion was poured down, Mira still held the little thing, while I took a few steps back and looked at the thing, waiting for its changes. Although my defense is very high, I don’t know the mutated properties of this thing, so I still avoided it a little. As for Mira... With that diamond-like body, I don’t have to worry about anything, right?
The reaction speed of this potion test was very fast. We just poured it into the little thing, and there was a change in less than five seconds. The little thing twitched in Mira's hand and enlarged three times. The body that was originally the size of a house mouse has now increased to about the size of a medium-sized dog, except for the increase in size. The appearance is almost unchanged. Finally, I asked the pharmacists over there in confusion what to do. Unexpectedly, they ran over and took away the enlarged little thing.
While the pharmacists were preparing the next research target, I learned from the Ninth Prince that the situation just now was actually very common. Mutations like the original giant monster are actually very rare. About one-fifth of the creatures tested will die directly, and one-fifth will become deformed creatures that are completely unable to survive independently, and usually Will die soon. The remaining three-fifths are organisms that can survive, but half of these three-fifths will not mutate at all, that is, the drug will be completely ineffective against them. The remaining half can be roughly divided into three parts, one of which turns into a violent beast that is completely irrational and cannot be tamed like the first monster, and one of the two parts is like the little thing just now. Small changes. Either it is still of no use value after the transformation, or the mutated ability is of no use. The last remaining ones are those that have taming value after mutation, and those that are sane but cannot be tamed because they are too strong. The monster I tied up just now is probably one of them. As for useful mutants that can really be domesticated, there is no need to separate them into a separate category at all, because their number is so small that you almost have to be lucky to encounter one. Otherwise, it would not have taken so long for the Ninth Prince's research institute to discover three useful creatures.
After the creature that failed to become a monster was taken away, the subsequent test targets were soon sent up one by one. We first received a creature that looked a bit like a pig, but it was much smaller, probably about the same size as a small fragrant pig. This creature turned directly into a meat ball after being fed the medicine. Not to mention fighting, if no one feeds it, it will starve to death.
Next, we got another insect creature, this time more thoroughly. After eating the medicine, the insect immediately kicked off its legs and died. Later, we tested six more insects in a row, and the result was that except one of them, it turned into a Except for the deformed waste. The rest all died. According to the pharmacists, the test success rate for insects seems to be the lowest, but dangerous creatures rarely appear.
Then they gave me more than a dozen animals one after another, including a creature that looked a bit like a two-headed snake. However, although the main part of this creature looks like a two-headed snake, it has four plesiosaur-like flippers. Among these dozen creatures, except for the two-headed plesiosaur-like thing that had undergone useful mutations, the others either died or became useless. Another one actually exploded directly, there was no pattern at all. However, the two-headed plesiosaur-like creature was an unexpected surprise.
The changes that this creature undergoes after taking the potion are very special. After its size increased to nearly a hundred meters, it suddenly began to grow its head outwards, and finally turned into a nine-headed plesiosaur shape. And this time it was not a small plesiosaur toy, but a larger-than-life snake neck. A behemoth bigger than a dragon. To be honest, if this guy didn't have four flippers instead of ordinary flippers, he could have pretended to be Hydra. It's a pity that this guy's flippers don't have as good mobility as the Hydra, but it seems that this thing can be used as a water combat creature. After all, its nine heads are equipped with sharp teeth, and it is large enough. big. The most important thing is that the intelligence level of this thing is actually quite good, and it is not very violent. Although it is aggressive, it can still communicate.
Because of the appearance of this creature, the pharmacists became very excited. They were very happy to take away this huge experimental body and then sent me the next batch of experimental bodies.
The first experimental sample sent this time was a turtle. It didn't look like a turtle, but it was really a turtle. This thing is an ornamental animal in the game, not a World of Warcraft. It is just a part of the game environment, similar to a scene prop.
I don't know if it was luck, but this time I successfully injected the medicine into this harmless turtle. After taking the potion, the turtle turned directly into a giant mobile fortress with a body length of 70 to 80 meters. The sturdy turtle shell caused us serious trouble when capturing and controlling it. In the end, even I had to rush forward with Eternity to barely suppress this big turtle.
In fact, apart from the increase in size, this turtle has not changed much in terms of ability. The main reason why it is so difficult is that this thing's defense is too strong, and because the limbs and head can be retracted into the turtle shell, it is It really makes us feel a bit overwhelmed. Moreover, compared with the small turtle, the defensive ability of this mutant turtle has been clearly strengthened in a targeted manner. Not only is the carapace on its back so hard that it is scary to death, but its head and limbs also have movable carapace similar to those on the body of a sea shrimp. Once it is done, the whole body is protected. In addition to my eternity, which can easily hurt this guy, even Lucky and their dragon teeth are very ineffective, and they need to stare at a place for a long time to bite through. Fortunately, although this super turtle is ridiculously strong, its personality is still similar to that of an ordinary turtle. Anyway, it is naive and not aggressive. It will not resist if you don't attack it. It is just super slow.
Because of the success of this super powerful experiment, those guys don't plan to test new creatures today, and it's almost dawn now. Today's results are enough for them to study for a while. However, while they were happily studying the big turtle, I called the Ninth Prince aside. After helping them work all night, it was time to collect some labor fees. (To be continued.
