Chapter 406: Nine Netherworlds’ Strange Changes

Jiuyou unfolded in front of Ji Xinghuo, changing from a fist-sized black light ball to a two-meter-tall humanoid silhouette. It floated up, and its body kept flowing like ink, as if a shadow came alive.

It was very intelligent and could understand the current situation.

Hearing Ji Xinghuo's words, the only pair of blue eyes on Jiuyou's head lit up, as if expecting something.

"Eat this first."

The first thing Ji Xinghuo took out was a Qingkong fruit.

Qingkong fruit is only effective for those below level three, but what if there are exceptions? Anyway, there are still many Qingkong fruits in the dimensional space, so there is no harm in trying it.

Jiuyou's eyes flashed, and he didn't understand the meaning of "eat" for a while.

It has never eaten since its birth. Most of the energy to maintain its activities and evolution comes from the Dark Orb, and it also absorbs dark energy at ordinary times.

"Uh..."

Ji Xinghuo was also a little embarrassed.

"You swallow this into your body." He explained, and then threw the Qingkong fruit over.

Jiuyou's body bulged like a big bag, and its head opened to form an entrance, catching the Qingkong fruit, and then closed it back to its original state.

Ji Xinghuo watched intently.

The Qingkong Fruit was instantly dissolved in Jiuyou's body, leaving no residue.

"No more?"

He scratched his head.

Even if he had expected that the Qingkong Fruit would be useless, it would not be so outrageous. He simply gritted his teeth and took out a handful of Qingkong Fruits, a total of more than a dozen, and let Jiuyou swallow them all into his body. The result was a waste of effort.

"General expansion items really don't work. The rank is limited." Ji Xinghuo shook his head helplessly.

Jiuyou is a natural disaster level, equivalent to a sixth-rank strongman.

Not only Qingkong Fruit, but also low-level expansion items such as Life Spirit Seed, Amber Cat's Eye Stone, and Red Scale Element have no effect.

"Star Tears, Red Emperor Blood Crystal and Heavenly Diamond are useful."

Ji Xinghuo took out a Red Emperor Blood Crystal, which was the only expansion item he had, and there were seven left.

Jiuyou immediately reacted when he saw the Red Emperor Blood Crystal.

It was like a person who had been hungry for several days. When it smelled the fragrance of food, it could not help but approach the blood crystal.

"Here."

Ji Xinghuo threw the Red Emperor Blood Crystal over, and Jiuyou swallowed it immediately.

Then, its body changed, and the Red Emperor Blood Crystal quickly melted and released unique energy, merging with it.

On the interface of Wanxiang Xingtong, there was an extra line of text at the bottom of Jiuyou's ability information:

[Number of fusions: 1]

"Huh?"

Ji Xinghuo was very surprised. Why did Jiuyou display the number of fusions directly, while he and Qinghong did not? He studied it for a while, but he had no clue. He could only attribute it to the possibility of the Dark Sphere.

Jiuyou swallowed a Red Emperor Blood Crystal, but was still not satisfied. He kept conveying his request for more to Ji Xinghuo.

"Can you use the Red Emperor Blood Crystal again?"

Ji Xinghuo saw that Jiuyou had just swallowed the Red Emperor Blood Crystal, and the tyrannical will contained in it did not seem to have any negative effect on it.

He did not hesitate and took out another Red Emperor Blood Crystal and threw it over.

Jiuyou swallowed it eagerly and began to digest it, but this time it absorbed the energy of the blood crystal much slower, and its body began to tremble slightly. Its narrow eyes, which were originally dark blue, were stained with a layer of blood.

Ji Xinghuo felt a terrifying will emanating from Jiuyou, exactly the same as when he used the Red Emperor Blood Crystal.

A few minutes later.

The blood color in Jiuyou's eyes faded, and his body returned to normal.

[Number of fusions: 2]

However, it was still not satisfied, and immediately asked Ji Xinghuo for more Red Emperor Blood Crystals, with greed in its eyes.

Ji Xinghuo would certainly not give it any more.

Although the ghost spirit was completely controlled by the dark magic ball, it was not absolutely safe. Compared with the Red Emperor, the technological means of the ghost tribe were nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree.

If it swallowed a third Red Emperor Blood Crystal, Jiuyou would probably go out of control and become a claw of the Red Emperor.

Ji Xinghuo held a few alien species in his hand.

Mimicry, manifold barrier, torrent form, smoke body, force magic, high-pressure jet, teleportation, etc., these are all prepared for Jiuyou. Some of them are already there, and some are just purchased at the transfer station.

Ji Xinghuo had thought about it when he was still in the ruins.

Jiuyou's ability system mainly refers to three professional templates: Weird Wizard, Water Master and Demon Refiner.

Take into account both change and control.

These alien species are related to the three professional templates, but they are only part of Ji Xinghuo's ideas, and many abilities cannot be bought for the time being.

"You can only fuse two alien species first."

After screening, Ji Xinghuo selected two alien species that he thought would be most useful to Jiuyou, and the fusion success rate was also above 80%.

[Alien species: torrent form]

[Grade: over limit]

[Fusion success rate: 52%, 17%, 83%]

[Can it be upgraded: yes]

The first two fusion success rates are Ji Xinghuo's and Qinghong's, and the third is Jiuyou's success rate of fusing "torrent form".

Very high.

Ji Xinghuo had come into contact with the torrent form before. On Earth, the Nile monitor lizard he hunted had the torrent form.

It can transform its body into liquid, like a torrent, and blend into places where there is a lot of water, such as lakes, rivers and seas, and manipulate hundreds or even thousands of times more water than itself, and its combat power will surge.

The torrent form is perfectly adapted to the "Water Master", and many powerful water monsters will also awaken this ability.

Jiuyou is not a water monster, but its energy body also has the characteristics of liquid.

When it casts "Cold Flame Wave", if there is a bonus from the Torrent Form, the coverage and lethality will be stronger.

The second alien species is Mimicry.

[Alien species: Mimicry]

[Grade: Excellent]

[Fusion success rate: 65%, 26%, 88%]

[Can it be upgraded: Yes]

This is one of the core abilities of the Weird Change Wizard.

Ji Xinghuo originally wanted to buy "Organic Change" and "Inorganic Restoration", which are the foundation for the Weird Change Wizard to be able to change in a thousand ways, but Jiuyou's "Dark Matter Abnormality" already has similar abilities.

Just fuse "Mimicry" and Jiuyou will have the same ability to change as the Weird Change Wizard.

Mimicry can only change into the appearance of the target, simulate the voice and iris, but does not have the target's abilities.

And it can only change when it touches the target, and there is a time limit.

Ji Xinghuo hesitated for a while between "Mimicry" and "Manifold Barrier".

The manifold barrier can greatly make up for Jiuyou's defense. Its psychic power reaches level 4. The manifold barrier supported by it is very strong, greatly improving its resistance to energy damage. It is even more difficult to kill it when used alternately with the virtual-real conversion of the Dark King.

However, considering that as long as the Dark Sphere is not broken, Jiuyou can be resurrected in a few hours even if he is killed, it seems not so urgent to improve the defense.

And the mimicry can make Jiuyou change his appearance and join the battle immediately.

"Let's merge the mimicry first."

After thinking it over, Ji Xinghuo said to Jiuyou: "Open your mouth." Its head split open, and its body turned into a big bag again.

He threw the "torrent form" in first.

The alien species of the torrent form is a mass of low-viscosity liquid substance, which immediately began to fuse after entering Jiuyou's body.

Not long after, its body suddenly spread out like a pool of water and spread on the ice.

Then it kept rising and falling like waves.

The black liquid substance swept in the ice cave, hitting the ice wall, but it would not be frozen by the low temperature. Instead, it melted the ice surface. The ice cave became deeper and deeper, and the torrent inside was higher and higher, making a tsunami-like sound.

The torrent gradually subsided, quickly shrank, and condensed into Jiuyou's true body again.

"Success."

Ji Xinghuo saw its interface information updated.

[Superpower: Torrent Form (Level 1 1/349)]

He then threw the "mimicry" alien to Jiuyou, and it merged successfully after a few minutes, adding another superpower.

[Superpower: Mimicry (Level 1 1/167)]

Mimicry is an excellent superpower, and it does not require much spiritual energy to upgrade.

Ji Xinghuo asked Jiuyou to demonstrate it. It stretched out a wave tentacle and lightly touched Ji Xinghuo's finger. The body changed rapidly, from black to white, the vortex-shaped lower body turned into two legs, and the upper body also became full, generating skin, and the facial features on the thick and fuzzy head were clear, and it landed in front of him.

A minute later, a second Ji Xinghuo appeared in the ice cave.

The two looked exactly the same, and the Ji Xinghuo on the opposite side was wearing the same super-powered armor, and even the weapons on his back were the same.

Mimicry can not only simulate the appearance and shape of the target, but also the attached external objects.

Ji Xinghuo was amazed.

It was just like looking in a mirror. Even if you know it is fake, you can't find any flaws with the naked eye.

Of course, this fake Ji Xinghuo is just a facade.

Mimicry cannot copy superpowers.

If even superpowers can be simulated, it is not an outstanding superpower.

When mimicking, Jiuyou can only use his own superpowers, so he will be exposed as soon as he fights.

But this is already very practical.

"Change again." Ji Xinghuo pointed to Qinghong next to him. The fake Ji Xinghuo walked forward and reached out to touch it, and his body immediately deformed again, but this time the change was much slower, which should be because its real body size was much different from Qinghong's.

The size of the target of the mimicry should not be too different from your own.

Seeing that Jiuyou had not been able to successfully transform, Ji Xinghuo immediately invested in spiritual energy and directly upgraded the mimicry to (level five 1/67777).

Level five mimicry, still no advancement.

However, the ability to transform is richer. As long as the target has been simulated, it can be retained and can be transformed again at any time in the future. It is no longer just a facade, and can also have the target's physical strength.

At the same time, the speed of transformation has increased by dozens of times, and the size range of the simulated target has also greatly increased.

In just one second, Jiuyou completed the transformation and turned into Qinghong.

Qinghong was startled and lowered his head, roaring at Jiuyou in a low voice, full of hostility.

Jiuyou was not willing to be outdone, and his eyes met with Qinghong's.

"Change back."

Ji Xinghuo had a headache. He had to train these two guys to fight together in the future, but they didn't seem to like each other. Especially Qinghong, who was obviously very dissatisfied with her allocating spiritual energy to Jiuyou.

Originally, she enjoyed all the benefits alone, but now someone came to grab it, Qinghong must be unhappy.

Considering this, Ji Xinghuo specially strengthened Qinghong and invested more than 100,000 spiritual energy into it.

But it seemed to have a general effect.

Ji Xinghuo glanced at the interface and found that there were more than 10,000 spiritual energy points left. He simply allocated them to Jiuyou and upgraded its torrent form to (level 4 1/30599). It did not advance, but the torrent range was expanded several times, and the ability to manipulate water flow increased dramatically.

200,000 spiritual energy points were consumed.

In the next few hours, Ji Xinghuo let Jiuyou master the new ability and fight with Qinghong.

Although the two battle pets were very resistant to each other, they were surprisingly tacit in the battle.

This made Ji Xinghuo very happy.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ji Xinghuo asked them to stop training.

Qinghong immediately shrank and jumped into his pocket, and Jiuyou also turned into a ray of light and entered the Dark Sphere. It seemed that they didn't want to spend more time with each other for a second. If Ji Xinghuo hadn't forced the order, they would have fought long ago.

Ji Xinghuo had no choice for a while.

However, as long as it didn't affect the battle, it would be fine.

He flew out of the ice cave, returned to the Arctic transfer station and landed in Karula's store. Before he arrived, the electromagnetic induction had grasped the situation.

"My lord, please take a look!"

After Karula greeted, a light screen was projected on his hand, which listed the information of the five boxes of alien species, including classification, quantity, price, etc., and some notes on some more unique alien species, which were very detailed.

Ji Xinghuo glanced at it casually and looked at the total price directly.

For more than 40,000 alien species, Karula's total offer was 7.5 million True Dragon Coins.

This was much higher than Ji Xinghuo expected. After all, in the True Dragon Dynasty, there was no shortage of alien species. Although the average quality of the alien species he sold was higher, it was difficult to sell them at the price on Earth.

He didn't sell any of the most valuable super-limit alien species.

Karula said cautiously, "Sir, if you are not satisfied with the price, we can talk about it again."

"No, that's it." Ji Xinghuo was too lazy to haggle.

In fact, he was not very interested in selling alien species for money, but he just didn't want to waste it. In addition, if someone found out that he didn't even collect the alien species from the corpse of the monster he hunted, it would be easy to arouse suspicion.

"Thank you, sir!"

Karula was very happy to be able to make this deal, and said, "Our store provides the service of exchanging True Dragon Coins for Ether Crystals, but we have to charge a handling fee."

"Oh?" Ji Xinghuo became interested, "How do you charge it?"

"Sixty thousand True Dragon Coins for one Ether Crystal." Karula replied in a low voice.

In the True Dragon Dynasty, the official exchange price of an ether crystal is 50,000 True Dragon Coins, but here it costs 60,000, and a 20% handling fee is charged. It couldn't be more shady.

Ji Xinghuo wanted to refuse, but suddenly he had an idea.

He killed Cang Huogui and got more than 30 million True Dragon Coins from her, but he hasn't sold them yet.

This is a good opportunity to sell the stolen goods.

"I'll give you another 32.5 million, a total of 40 million True Dragon Coins for 700 ether crystals." Ji Xinghuo made a proposal, which is equivalent to 57,000 True Dragon Coins for one ether crystal, which is a little lower.

Karula looked embarrassed.

Ji Xinghuo didn't want to bargain with him, "You either accept the exchange or give me 7.5 million True Dragon Coins."

"Okay." Karula agreed reluctantly.

Ji Xinghuo knew that he still made a lot of money. He pretended that he didn't have the money with him, went back to the hotel, took out the True Dragon Coins from the dragon ring, and then came back to exchange them for 700 ether crystals.

Just as he was about to leave, Karula called Ji Xinghuo.

"Anything else?"

Karula smiled and said, "My lord, I'll give you a piece of information for free. A few days ago, someone found a black-ringed earth-eating insect of magnitude in the Silent Wasteland. It is said that it has a star-falling species. If you are interested, you can try your luck."
