Chapter 126 Amazing Mutated Mushrooms

"Shashasha——"

A Tiangang sand shield appeared in front of the pink ostrich, shaped like a wall of wind and sand.

The big ostrich was furious. No matter how hard it rushed, it couldn't reach the side of the mud-blade mantis, and it couldn't help but scream in anger.

Su Mei jumped up and sat on its back again, hugging its neck and comforting it.

"Okay, okay, isn't it just two stab wounds?"

"It will heal after a few sleeps, it's okay!"

After a while, the potency of the medicine gradually weakened, and as the red eyes gradually became clear, the big ostrich stopped being restless.

It tilted its head, stretched its neck and looked at its butt, then glanced at its waist and abdomen twice, its bright eyes filled with confusion.

Why is it...lost?

You were fine just now, why did you suddenly become ugly?

The big ostrich couldn't completely remember what happened in the violent state.

But its feeling is still there, and as soon as its eyes touch the Mudblade Mantis, there is an urge to rush over and crush it.

…

"Qualification Appraisal!"——

[Race Name]: Mudblade Mantis

[Chaos Seal]: "Insect"

[Major]: Flying Path/Martial Arts Path/Survival Path

[Rank]: Clay Sculpture · Perfection

[Chaos Spiritual Pattern]: 30th pattern "Chopping", 56th pattern "One-Shot", 84th pattern "Snap Knife"

[Core Personality]: "Diligence"

[Current status]: Comatose/injured/bleeding...

[Contractual relationship]: None

No matter what Mr. Yehan thinks, this mud-blade mantis is excellent.

It not only comprehended the most powerful skill of its own race, "Snap Knife".

In addition, he has "diligence" as his core personality.

Coupled with the ability to fly, agility, and high alertness... considering all aspects, it is indeed exciting.

Unfortunately, Lord Yehan already has Guagua.

Once the coach changes jobs, he will be promoted to the 4th level smoothly.

The newly added contract imprint will be used to bind the pure white tadpole immediately.

There is no need to waste extra time and energy to cultivate a supernumerary spirit who only has "a little heartbeat". The investment and return are not proportional.

But Li Jingming is very suitable. He is an insect catcher, and one of his passive powers is "listening to the insect language." As long as you have a certain amount of patience, you can faintly hear the emotions mixed in the insects' chirping.

"let me try."

After pondering for a long time, Li Jingming made a decision.

With his current abilities, combined with the Grimace Moth, which is a complete clay sculpture, there is no way he can suppress the Clay Blade Mantis, which is a perfect clay sculpture.

The Mudblade Mantis, which has lived in the wild since childhood, is extremely wild.

Even if you understand human nature, it is extremely difficult to tame them without the imprint of the contract.

In other words, the combat power and potential of the Mud Blade Mantis are satisfactory enough.

It will be tiring and difficult in the early stage, but as long as you can get through the running-in stage and build trust with each other.

After arriving, the Mudblade Mantis will chase the prey that the Grimace Moth cannot catch.

The prey that cannot be killed by the Grimace Moth will be hacked indiscriminately by the Mudblade Mantis.

One controls the other and has agility attack, with complementary advantages and disadvantages, and both have flying as a support for high mobility.

It would be a pity if such an opportunity was lost.

"Ni Ni..."

After being unconscious for about five minutes, Mudblade Mantis slowly woke up.

It was horrified to find that it was bound by long shiny foreign objects one after another. It exerted force randomly and had no way to break free.

The aching carapace was cracked in many places, and black insect blood was still flowing outward.

The Mudblade Mantis was first frightened and then angry. Its huge compound eyes once again looked at the Sandstorm Witch who was looking at it coldly. The anger that had just emitted disappeared. It suddenly shrank its neck and shivered like a rice dumpling.

——What kind of monster is this!

--Danger! Very dangerous!

If it were a stupid savage beast or other ferocious monster, it would just go crazy at this time and engage in a so-called trapped beast fight.

But Mudblade Mantis actually started to show weakness, looking at Huazhu with a pitiful look, as if he regarded her as the leader here, trying to get her sympathy and forgiveness.

"簌簌簌簌~~~"

The Grimace Moth hovered above the Mudblade Mantis, looking at this Zerg with a nobler bloodline with curious eyes.

Li Jingming squatted down, ignoring the gray mud adhering to the beetles, and reached out to touch the mantis's cheek.

"Ni Ni..."

The Mud Blade Mantis shivered, and there was a hint of ferocity in his lowered eyes.

He looked at Huazhu and dared not make any mistakes, but the mud monkey-like creature in front of him was not a threat.

How dare you get so close to it?

If he could break free and slash with a knife, wouldn't his neck be broken?

Li Jingming was calm and thoughtful and said:

"Sure enough, he has a strong wild nature and is good at disguising his true thoughts."

"But I can hear the 'wariness' and 'hostility' towards me from its voice."

"Without the entangled insect net, without Master Han holding down the formation, this guy would definitely be able to draw his sword..."

Ye Hanjun warned:

"How to tame it, I don't want to give you too many suggestions. I hope you can explore it yourself."

"As it should be."

Li Jingming nodded lightly, thought again and again, and took out a bottle of snow fish scale powder.

This is a medicinal powder collected from several species of freshwater fish.

After being ground and prepared, it can help most common insect spirits to repair wounds and accelerate healing.

While the Mudblade Mantis was unable to move, Li Jingming walked around behind it and sprinkled the powder on the broken beetle, applying it evenly and carefully.

At first, the Mudblade Mantis' wound came into contact with a foreign object.

The obvious stinging sensation made it think that it would not be able to escape the fate of being eaten, and it almost struggled to death.

Before it could try to break the insect web, the stinging pain suddenly turned into numbness, and strands of coolness entered the brain.

The Mudblade Mantis stopped struggling, its body stiffened slightly, and looked at Li Jingming nervously and strangely, temporarily remembering his breath and appearance.

"Here." Li Jingming took out another bottle of honeydew and placed it in front of the mantis's mouthparts.

This is the favorite food of the Grimace Moth. It is delicious and nutritious at the same time. It will probably suit the appetite of the Mudblade Mantis.

"mud……"

The mudblade mantis refused to eat.

Its eyes were full of alertness, and the brief contact could not change its past thinking mode and make it become intimate with the strange monster.

"It feels like it takes a long time to develop the most basic feelings..."

Su Mei sighed: "Xiao Li, you have gone through a lot of trouble."

"Try this again."

Li Jingming took away the honeydew, secreted a drop of orange viscous liquid from his fingertips, and passed it directly to the mouthparts of the big praying mantis with his fingers.

"mud?!"

The large and small jaws of the Mudblade Mantis shook at the same time, and its two compound eyes stared at the drop of liquid, refusing to move their eyes no matter what.

Under the gaze of three pairs of human eyes, it hesitated and lingered, but finally failed to resist the temptation, opened its mouth, and sucked the liquid into its belly.

"Mud... mud mud..."

The sharp cry of the Mudblade Mantis became slightly calmer.

Li Jingming's eyes lit up and he murmured to himself: "It really works!"

"As long as the amount of sweet mucus secreted is controlled and condensed according to the minimum dose, it will not seriously stimulate the perception and judgment ability of the insect-type spirits, and it will become a short-term taste enjoyment."

The corners of Ye Hanjun's mouth raised slightly.

From this point of view, there are indeed many directions in which this power can be developed.

Since the Mudblade Mantis failed to suppress his desire the first time, then Li Jingming only needs to feed him from time to time. The intimacy cultivated through this subtle process... doesn't it also reach the minimum standard?

It is roughly judged that the supernumerary spirit's plan is 80% successful.

Ye Hanjun stepped on the insect corpses on the ground and walked to a tangled insect net.

"Shua——"

The blood-sucking dagger blade passed by and the insect net broke.

A small golden thing flapped its wings and tried to escape. Lord Ye Han grabbed it and held it firmly in his hand.

"Hiss..."

The golden beetle the size of an eyeball is called the "golden beetle" as its name suggests.

This is also a rare companion spirit, but the reason for its rarity is not its bloodline skills, but its insect armor.

This kind of insect-type insect beetle has high medicinal value. A little powder can enhance the medicinal properties of ordinary medicinal materials by 10 to 20%.

If combined with more precious and rare medicinal materials, the increase would be even more gratifying.

"Crack-"

Ye Hanjun found a small empty box, prepared some food, and then closed the golden beetle.

In order to sell for maximum value after returning, the golden beetle cannot die and must remain alive.

Otherwise, once the color of the insect beetle fades, it will be useless.

However, living objects cannot be placed in dimensional space bags, and Ye Hanjun can only be carried around in his robes.

"Su Mei, come over and clean the battlefield."

"The loot this time is richer. There are a lot of materials to collect. Don't waste it."

"Okay!" Su Mei responded, dragging the pink ostrich away from the Mud Blade Mantis.

Judging from the reluctance, it seemed that the big ostrich was not happy because it failed to step on the head of the big praying mantis.

"Okay, okay, you just lost some hair. I've given you medicine and it will grow back soon!"

"How about we dye our hair after this adventure is over? Look at you, after taking a few showers, the hair on your head is no longer bright. It's time to reward it and change it to a cooler hairstyle!"

Su Mei uses her special skills "perm/dye/manicure".

For the pink ostrich, this is probably equivalent to "unparalleled skills."

When he heard these words, he was no longer angry. Regardless of the pain in his buttocks and sides, he stood straight and majestic, like a soldier waiting for review. He was in great spirits.

"This time, Ostrich has gained a huge harvest."

Ye Hanjun glanced at it and laughed dumbly.

Li Jingming's Clay Blade Mantis would not be of much use until he formally established trust and became a non-staff companion.

But the pink ostrich was different. After taking the "violent potion", in just fifteen minutes, due to the stimulation of the injury, he was able to master two skills in a row.

"Air Tread" - although it only has 45 lines.

However, by bouncing up, he can reach places in the air that were originally out of his reach. Whether used to dodge or pursue, it can have unexpected effects.

"Tornado Kick" - This is even more powerful.

It was also the first time for Ye Hanjun to see this skill appear on the pink ostrich.

This is not a racial skill derived from blood, it is considered a universal type.

But the intensity fixed on the body of the pink ostrich has 80 chaotic spiritual patterns, which is just right at the boundary of the clay sculpture's high-quality skills.

Just think about it - using the cyclone kick in place is equivalent to sweeping an area in parallel.

Connect the air step in front, jump into the air, and then activate the whirlwind kick - this combo is highly lethal and covers a wide area. Those flying birds and insects are indeed prone to misjudgment, so that they have no time to dodge the next attack.

"I was also shocked. The ostrich is so big and has pink fur."

"Suddenly he rushed into the air more than ten meters away and swept across like a spinning top. This is too weird. If other people saw it, they would probably find it a bit shocking."

"Just be strong enough."

Ye Hanjun affirmed:

"You have gained a lot from your trip to the Yellow Mire Marsh."

"Don't slack off in the upcoming schedule. The sooner you can improve to clay sculpture perfection, the more you can compete with the strongest people in the North Campus."

"yes!"

Su Mei looked longingly and replied with longing.

…

Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleared.

The most valuable batch of materials was specially stored by Ye Hanjun in the second-dimensional space bag, waiting to be sold together when he returns to Canghai Pavilion.

"Pull-"

The blood-sucking dagger cut the insect net, and several panicked "group ants" began to flee in panic.

Ye Hanjun followed leisurely, Su Mei and Pink Ostrich stayed on his right wing, and Li Jingming on the left wing.

Behind Li Jingming was the Grimace Moth flying with a Mud Blade Mantis.

This mud-blade mantis tastes the sweet mucus and experiences the joy of taste buds.

But at this stage, there is always the possibility of killing the owner or escaping, so it is obviously impossible to let it go free.

Fortunately, this big mantis only looks bigger, and its weight is no different from that of an adult man.

The Grimace Moth doesn't find it particularly difficult to hold it and fly. You only need to pay attention to the tied insect net at all times and remind the owner to replace it before the energy escapes, then there will be no problem.

"Ni Ni..."

The Mudblade Mantis, which has wings but has lost its freedom, is a little scared and confused.

No matter how hard the brain tries, it doesn't know what these monsters are going to do.

The sense of crisis given by instinct dropped again and again. It was naturally intelligent and willing to think, but was finally forced to accept it helplessly and helplessly.

"Master Han, what are we doing with the grouper ants?" Su Mei asked curiously.

"The grouper ants live in swampy areas but like to eat plants."

"It's possible to find the mushrooms I want near their nests."

Lord Yehan kept his eyes fixed, sometimes crossing dangerous mud traps, sometimes summoning flower candles to kill wild beasts that came out.

When necessary, it is even necessary to scare away the predators in the sky, otherwise these grouper ants will die on the way home and the plan will be in vain.

"Master Han, is this the "Stiff Mushroom"? "

Half a day later, the ground became slightly dry. Who would have thought that there would be a cave in a place covered with mud.

Su Mei pointed at the dried mud cave with surprise in her eyes.

White mushrooms can be seen everywhere inside. They seem to be densely packed. There are hundreds of them.

"No, this is "fat-reducing mushrooms." "

Ye Hanjun shook his head, "This kind of mushroom is not very toxic, but eating it in large quantities can melt fat. Many weight loss medicines use it as a raw material."

"Eh? What does the legendary fat-lowering mushroom look like?"

Su Mei had obviously heard of it, but she just couldn't match the name with the actual thing.

Now listening to Master Han's explanation, she suddenly realized it. She repeatedly observed the appearance of the lipid-lowering mushroom and memorized it carefully.

"Master Han, is this the stiff mushroom?"

On the other side, Li Jingming found a mushroom growing on the wall.

The mushroom is also white, but the rhizome is shorter and the edges of the fungi are wavy.

"No, this is a "brain-reducing mushroom", a variant of the fat-reducing mushroom. "

Ye Hanjun raised his neck, stared straight at it for a long time, and shook his head again.

"ha?"

Su Mei was stunned, and Li Jingming was also stunned.

"Haven't you heard that long-term dependence on weight-loss drugs is prone to accidents?"

Lord Ye Han, whose heart is as calm as water, bestowed upon him the knowledge:

"These mushrooms grow together and look similar, so it's really easy to confuse them."

“Even professional herb collectors may make mistakes in judgment.”

"If even the person who made the final medicine didn't notice the abnormality, and took this intelligence-lowering mushroom as a lipid-lowering mushroom, a small dose would be fine, but a large dose would cause serious damage to the brain of the user, and he or she would become an idiot overnight. It’s too much.”

"So scary..."

Su Mei shrank her neck, feeling frightened for a while.

Girls all have a love for beauty.

Although as a family leader, more than half of them are in good shape. They should be slim when they should be, and plump when they should be.

But there are always some low points, when the body is out of shape.

During the period, you can indeed quickly adjust your body shape with the help of drugs.

But...lower fat and lower intelligence.

The difference of one word is the same as the difference of cloud and mud!

This was the first time Su Mei heard that even weight loss pills had such traps!

"As long as you don't mix it up and don't harm normal people, this mushroom has high value."

"Because some Familiar Lords, when desperate, will choose a special way of ascension and evolution."

"For example, if you sacrifice your wisdom to pursue a breakthrough in rank, this wisdom-reducing mushroom is often one of the auxiliary materials."

With a sword dance, Ye Hanjun dug out the white mushrooms from the roots and carefully stored them in the medicine box.

"In addition, these black and white ones are "sauce mushrooms", which are suitable for use as condiments. We collected a few appropriately. "

"This yellow and white one is the 'ginger mushroom'. When eaten in the stomach, it has a warming effect and can ward off wind and cold. "

"This flat and pointed thing is the "Pulp Paper Mushroom", which is one of the raw materials for making spiritual cloth scrolls..."

…

One after another, Ye Hanjun took his two disciples to identify various mushrooms.

Even Li Jingming was a little overwhelmed. The gene of this lipid-lowering mushroom was too powerful. So many mushrooms mutated through it, and none of them had the same final medicinal effect.

It is really not difficult to understand why professional herb collectors fail several times throughout the year.

"found it!"

After cutting off a white umbrella-shaped mushroom, Mr. Ye Han showed a hint of relief.

I almost thought that I couldn't find stiff mushrooms in this cave, and I also thought about catching a few more grouper ants and exploring other areas.

Fortunately, everything went well.

After thinking about it, Lord Ye Han ordered:

"Li Jingming, wait until nightfall, when the night is darkest, and let your grimace moth eat this mushroom."

"When the time comes, whether the hidden bloodline skills can be activated depends on its fate."

Li Jingming nodded slowly.

Since becoming the favored master, Xiao'e has signed a contract as a favored spirit.

He has read all the information about the "Grimace Moth" that Canghai Pavilion can read.

But there has never been any clue that this species has hidden blood skills.

Li Jingming... looking forward to it very much!

A skill not inferior to "Frightening Powder", or even more powerful, once mastered.

Xiao'e's combat effectiveness may be close to that of Mudblade Mantis of the same period, which is also close to the 90-point threshold.

"Brother! There are human footprints here!"

"Brother! The outline is very clear! He left in this direction!"

Several shouts as thin as mosquitoes, accompanied by the sound of wind and swaying vines outside the cave, suddenly penetrated into Lord Yehan's ears.

His right brow raised upwards, and his fingers immediately stood up, making a silent gesture.

Su Mei, who wanted to speak, opened her mouth and immediately closed it tightly.

"call--"

"Huhu——"

There were a few sounds of speeding wind, and then three human men came into view.

They were dressed simply as ordinary hunters.

But their foreheads were wrapped in blood-red scarves, and the floating red color was particularly eye-catching when it swayed in the wind.

"Oh, three new recruits with tender skin and tender meat!"

"It's all because of their good looks! Two handsome guys and one beautiful girl, both of them are pretty!"

The second person on the right has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

When he saw Ye Hanjun and Li Jingming, his eyes just lit up.

When I saw Su Mei, I couldn't help but whistle, looking like a fool.

"Stop talking nonsense! Do it!"

The big man in the middle shouted, a ferocious smile blooming on his face, and the beast riding under him suddenly accelerated and ran.

It was a "burrowing cat demon" with bright yellow ring-shaped markings all over its body, like a fusion of a cat, a leopard, a lion, and a tiger.

It has the dexterity of cats and leopards, and the burliness of lions and tigers. When it runs wildly with its four hooves on the ground, it makes the whistling wind.

"It's a "bandit"..."

Seeing that the three of them were unable to hide their whereabouts and were already blocked at the entrance of the cave, Su Mei lowered her voice and spoke solemnly.

"Wow——"

An earth element arm more than five meters long suddenly extended from the big man's right hand.

As the distance got closer, the dark skin, enlarged pores, and ferocious smile were reflected in the pupils, making this person even more vicious.

E-level authority—bandit!

Once this power is awakened, the human body will be in harmony with the earth element.

Paired with another passive power "Bullying the Weak", high-level players can bully low-level players, making their combat effectiveness even stronger.

The earth element arm extending out at this time is one of the active powers, the "grabbing hand". As long as it can touch the prey, it can snatch something from it.

If the target is a human, it would be even simpler. Just steal the luggage bag without thinking, and then use the second initiative to "burrow into the ground" to escape.

Wait until you have escaped to a safe place and then count the loot - this is the bandit's regular combat strategy.

"How arrogant."

Ye Hanjun held the dagger blade, lowered his body weight and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He felt "murderous intent".

These three people are all bandits, and they work together as allies. They probably commit rape, rape and robbery on a daily basis, and they are most lawless.

Moreover, they are very courageous.

I just feel that the three of them look young and the aura they exude is not strong.

He didn't even think about whether there were any guards or elders around him, so he just attacked them. He not only wanted to rob the supplies, but also wanted to kill them all to avoid any further trouble.

This is really...

…

court death!
