Chapter 182 Old Monster

Early the next morning.

Lei Luo came to the pumpkin vine in the backyard of the tavern, leaned against the wooden fence, and studied the silver candle.

"Look at that two-legged thing, it's sitting next to us!"

"It stinks so much. If you are so close to me, you won't want to eat me, right?"

"Don't worry, you are so ugly. If you want to eat, you have to eat me first. See how tender and juicy I am..."

Lei Luo glanced at these pumpkins and saw a strange look. Although he did not hear them speak, it was a vague consciousness that could be understood. The talent of the grass elves was interesting. As long as they sensed it in a quiet environment, they could feel something. The vague consciousness of plants.

As for this silver candle, it is a top-quality magical item left among Prince Ling's belongings.

The best magic props have corresponding requirements for the user, and the requirement for the user of this silver candle is that the carrier of the sealed magic prop must be replaced.

The "Book of Sealings" used to load the Gulan Sand Flame has been taken out by Lei Luo, and it is just a carrier of the sealed object that can be replaced.

but.

Even though Lei Luo already had a certain understanding of alchemy due to the star core alchemy, he knew nothing about the alchemy of changing carriers and needed to study it carefully.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

The ginseng elf kept flipping its two fibrous little feet, chasing a group of newly hatched yellow chickens, trotting under the pumpkin vine.

Chi Chi Chi Chi…

The chickens screamed.

The plant and ginseng elf said excitedly: "Even if your throat is broken by shouting, no one can save you, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Brother Xiaobai, slow down!"

Lili was a little afraid of small animals and could only stay by Lei Luo's side. Unknowingly, three leaves had grown on her head.

time flies.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

Lei Luo, who was studying the silver candle attentively at the sudden eerie laughter, looked over with a stern expression.

At such a close distance, I didn't notice anything!

A scrawny old man was squatting on the ground with his back to him, watching Xiaobai running around chasing a group of chickens, letting out a hoarse laugh.

"you are?"

Lei Luo put away the silver candle and looked at the other party cautiously.

The old man turned back slowly.

Only the last few gray-white washed long hair remained on the top of his head, and his dead fish-like bubbly eyes, one large and one small, seemed to be unable to blink. He looked straight at Lei Luo. From his eyes, Lei Luo seemed to see When he reached the endless darkness, the depth of the abyss, and the terrifying feeling that his soul was about to be pulled in, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and gathered his pale silver mental energy.

The jagged teeth, revealed with the old man's strange smile, resembled the image of the devil in the church Bible.

hiss! ! !

"you are……"

When Lei Luo saw this image of the old man, he suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Such a familiar image…

You must be dreaming! !

"Your mental strength is quite interesting."

After praising him, the old man reached out and grabbed a handful of black smoke beside Lei Luo. The black smoke actually turned into a twisted human head in the old man's hands, which seemed to have some shadow of Prince Ling. He kept struggling, but always escaped. This skinny and old hand can't be seen.

"The special mental power of raising mutant ghosts? And in such a large number? Interesting, interesting! Jiejiejiejie!"

With a hoarse and weird laugh, the old man loosened his palm, and the resentful spirit fled away in fear.

The old man looked at Lei Luo.

"Recognize me?"

Gudu.

Lei Luo swallowed and said with difficulty: "Dear Academician Corleone!"

"It's the great Academician Corleone!!"

The old man corrected Lei Luo's honorific title, then turned his head and looked at the scene of Xiao Bai chasing the little yellow chicken carefree. The skinny old face once again showed a playful expression, just because his image was too terrifying. This Xixiao does look a bit ferocious.

"Run faster, yes, we will catch up soon, catch it, that's it! Jie Jie, Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

This old monster is the image of Academician Corleone, the Dark Sealer, on the corridor of the teaching building of the Grant Academy of Natural Sciences!

Lei Luo took a deep breath and stood aside cautiously.

This is a real old monster!

One of the old monsters who has lived for hundreds of years, sealed an ancient dragon, established a biological specimen research institute, and stands at the top of the Grant Scholars!

Trying to keep himself calm, with his heart beating hard with unsatisfactory "gudong" and "gudong", Lei Luo looked at the harmonious and beautiful scene of Xiaobai laughing and chasing the little yellow chicken.

Who would have thought that he would meet a great Royal Academician in this way.

"Do you like animals too?"

Lei Lu tried his best to behave naturally and kindly.

Lili is a little afraid of strangers.

“Like it very much!”

hehe.

Lei Luo smiled of course, and was about to talk according to the lines he had thought of, but the old monster said: "After all, they are indispensable for every day, Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie."

Well?

Lei Luo's smile froze, a little stiff.

The old monster added: "Of course, I am only interested in those little things that can't talk. Those little things that can talk, I prefer to soak them in Forein embalming liquid."

"Hahaha, Master, you are joking."

Lei Luo's smile was a little forced.

The old monster stood up from the ground, looking at Lei Luo with one large and one small black eye.

"It seems that your backlash hasn't lasted long. If you find a way to remedy it as soon as possible, you can recover. If it takes a long time, you should be like me. If you don't care, it doesn't matter. Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

"Please give me some advice, Master!"

Lei Luo quickly bowed.

In the past two days, Lei Luo has found three ways to restore his appearance and has recovered some through nourishment, but if he can take this opportunity to have some relationship with this old monster, it will benefit him no matter what. Infinity, of course Lei Luo would not refuse.

"It just so happens that I'm going to visit an old guy from the Troll Clan. There should be some magic potion that can help you. I can help you, but as a price, due to some special reasons, my movement is very inconvenient. Here is a The mission requires a little guy like you with special mental strength to complete, are you interested?"

"You're right, isn't it a mission to investigate the source of the mutation of the Blood Demon Flower?"

Lei Luo asked tentatively.

"Jiejie, Jiejie, you guessed it right."

…

Ten days later.

"The Hengduan Mountains are really vast."

At this moment, Lei Luo, although he had obtained a bottle of vitality potion from the old troll witch doctor, his appearance remained at the age of twenty-six or seventeen. He was not completely recovered. He looked more mature and lost the appearance of an enlightenment scholar. Childish and green.

This is also something that can't be helped.

The unexpected consequences of the experiment burned Lei Luo's life for decades in an instant. Every step of exploration by scholars must pay a corresponding price, which is also part of the conservation rules.

Gains and losses.

Xingkong Academy gave Lei Luo a qualitatively changed life form and power, but it also caused Lei Luo to lose half of his life and youthful appearance, and matured ahead of schedule.

Life can be gained with the improvement of life essence, but appearance, unless the transformation spell deceives oneself, can only be restored and maintained, or cursed to stay in appearance, and never see youth again. This is the annual ring engraved on the body by time, and it is the price of growth. .

It is surrounded by steep mountain walls and dense vegetation.

Deep in the Hengduan Mountains, Lei Luo and Corleone sat opposite each other. A pile of firewood was raised between the two, roasting a goat thigh.

Along the way, Lei Luo finally realized what it means to be this old monster, and they are indispensable for Dundun.

Academician Corleone is actually a pure carnivore like Lei Luo now.

Of course, Lei Luo's carnivorism is due to the talent of the plant elf. Eating other plants is equivalent to eating the same kind. He will not consider it unless it is absolutely necessary, and this old monster pursues it purely as a hobby.

"The area here is about seven times that of the Furnace Mountains. In addition to a few large groups protected by temples, there are more than twenty medium-sized groups dedicated to guardians, and small-scale groups are countless. They are listed as stars alongside the Thorn Forest and Death Swamp. The three major foreign races gathering places in the Tokugawa area."

Corleone looked at the crispy yellow skin of the mutton and smiled strangely. He took out the secret spices and sprinkled some on it. It stuck to the fat on the skin and filled the air with a fragrant aroma.

"Master, if we rush there slowly, if those mercenary groups are the first to investigate and find out the results, won't our trip be in vain in the end?"

Lei Luo swallowed and asked his doubts.

"I originally issued this task. Do you think it will be easy?"

Well?

Lei Luo opened his mouth in shock.

The old monster said again: "I didn't expect you to be that little guy's disciple. Jie Jie Jie Jie. I heard that in these years, he has been competing with another little guy in the college for the honorary seat of the vice president when Vladik retired. Why? Are you ready?"

Lei Luo was ashamed.

Instructor Gu Bo turned into a little guy when he was in the other party's mouth.

"It is Master An Liya who created the academic "Alienation Channeling". The college will make the final decision during the graduation examination in one and a half years."

"Whether you can ascend to the vice-president's seat, obtain research resources, and become a Royal Academician is your mentor's last chance."

At this moment.

In the forest in the distance, there seemed to be blasts of horn sounds, and Lei Luo, who was staring intently at the barbecue, was stunned.

"War? In such deep mountains?"

Xiao Bai, who was holding a jelly bean on Lei Luo's shoulder, suddenly became energetic with an idea.

"War? Let's go rob copper coins!!"

Ever since this guy saw the power of Lei Luo exchanging copper coins for butter candies, he became deeply fascinated by copper coins. Lei Luo also unkindly gave Xiao Bai a copper coin as a precious gift to witness friendship.

Sticking out his tongue, the ginseng spirit looked like a hungry puppy with bright eyes.

"Wow, kaka, when I save 10 copper coins, I will buy 30 butter candies at once, so that Lili and I can eat them all!"

Lei Luo took out the map and looked at it for a while.

"Twilight Elf?"

Lei Luo shook his head. He didn't know much about this ethnic group. It seemed to be relatively closed. It was probably just a small tribe here. There were countless small tribes like this in the Hengduan Mountains.

"Go over and have a look!"

The old monster seemed to be interested, and his smile was a little scary.

"I seem to smell the smell of brand new specimens..."

Lei Luo felt a chill in his heart.

The Biological Specimen Research Institute opened by this old monster is a human specimen exhibition center. It is the largest, most complex, and largest specimen library in the major principalities. You can imagine this old guy's enthusiasm for collecting biological specimens.

However, the troll witch doctor actually said that this old monster had broken through again?

Is it true that Royal Academician is not the end of scholars' exploration, or that there are hierarchical differences among Royal Academicians, but it is difficult for low-level scholars to understand this gap?

Lei Luo can still recall the shocked expression of the old troll witch doctor.

It seems that these top scholars are hiding some unknown secrets from lower level scholars...
