Chapter 74 Riding an Eagle

A few days later, in the laboratory.

Lu He stretched out his right arm, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair skin, and silently chanted a few times. The nail of his left index finger grew rapidly, and finally turned into a sharp spike. The spike scratched the skin, and a scale-shaped rune slowly formed.

Hiss!

The scale-shaped rune covered the entire arm. Under the power of the rune, his slender and white five fingers stretched and deformed, twisting like branches. A small bud actually grew on several knuckles, and it grew longer and longer, taller and taller, entwined with each other, and the color of the palm slowly turned brown.

Lu He's eyes gradually turned dark green, and the black pupil disappeared completely.

His right hand had completely turned into a branch. Whether it was the appearance or the most basic structure inside, it was no different from a real tree.

Flesh-plant life conversion, a non-level type of spell, was created by the fifth-level wizard Ximan after he was reincarnated as a dark night tree demon in the grass and wood world.

This spell is very powerful and can steal the strange abilities of some magical trees in the endless world.

Lu He didn't know what he could steal. The trees on Earth all looked like birds and had no special abilities.

He just saw this knowledge when he was studying botany, and then practiced it.

In fact, many of the spells he practiced were like this. He practiced them while learning related knowledge. These spells were useless to him.

On Earth, it was enough to have a flower eye. He didn't even need Gilliam's Hundred Eyes Charm. He could walk around everywhere.

How lonely it was to be invincible. Sometimes when Lu He was practicing spells, he really wanted an opponent to fall from the sky and make a brilliant appearance, and then the two of them would have a peaceful and friendly exchange of moves.

It has to be said that people will be mean when they are bored, and wizards are no exception.

After retracting the tree and transforming, Lu He came to the hall.

Ge Xiaomi and Feng Yin were busy in the kitchen. Four large dishes were already placed on the dining table in the living room. Waves of fragrance wafted from it, filling the entire hall.

The first dish was the classic stir-fried pork with peppers. The meat was streaky pork with fat and lean meat, and the peppers were dark-colored screw peppers with curved stems. It was obvious that Feng Yin had made them.

The second dish was a Northeastern stew made by Ge Xiaomi, a chicken stewed with mushrooms. The chicken was caught by Sanhei from somewhere, and the mushrooms were of two types: Yuan mushroom and Hericium erinaceus.

There were two other dishes, one was authentic Cantonese goose liver, which was not seasoned much, but was slightly fried with oil.

The other was a colorful vegetable and fruit salad, covered with a grid-like yogurt sauce, which looked very refreshing.

Today is the Little New Year in the south, and the Lunar New Year will be in a few days. The two came here to play shamelessly for several days. They were going to go home this afternoon, and planned to make a delicious meal before leaving.

Lu He sat for a while and went to the kitchen to make a dish, his specialty, stewed eggplant with bacon.

Finally, after cooking dumplings of various fillings, the three of them sat around the dining table and started eating.

Somehow, Lu He suddenly felt warm.

Fragrant food, harmonious atmosphere, sitting quietly at the table chatting together, eating steaming meals together, no lonely study and research, no cold laboratory table, and no lonely and empty meditation world.

He hasn't experienced this atmosphere for a long time.

Study, research, study, research, he has spent the past six months like this, day after day, as if there is no end.

Not just the past six months, he seems to have been like this for several years before.

At this moment, Lu He's body and mind are unprecedentedly relaxed, quietly enjoying this moment.

Although the advanced apprentice is only the starting stage of a wizard, equivalent to the preschool class on the wizard's road, this is already a level that an earthling dare not imagine. He seems to be able to take a break and enjoy a good life.

But Lu He doesn't want to stop. The unknown and mysterious wizard world attracts him and makes him deeply fascinated.

...

However, good times always pass quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Lu He sent the two to the front station base in the rainforest, watched them get on the helicopter, and finally gradually disappeared in the distant sky.

"President, this is the eagle you want. It is the largest eagle we have captured in America in recent days. It is called the American harpy eagle, and its wingspan is more than 2 meters."

Gabriel saw that Lu He was in a bad mood, but he had no choice but to come up.

"Well, not bad."

Four members of the Aid Society came over carrying a huge iron cage. Inside the cage was a giant eagle nearly one meter in size. Its head was light gray, the crown and wings on the top of its head were black, and the claws under its feet were more than ten centimeters long.

Even though it was locked in a cage, the harpy eagle still had a cold look in its eyes, a rebellious demeanor, and a condescending look.

Lu He turned around and let go of all the aura on his body.

The atmosphere of despair and fear filled the air, and an inexplicable palpitation began to appear in the hearts of the nearby Aid Society members.

That was the instinctive reaction of creatures when facing higher-level predators. The genetic memory passed down from ancient times to the present was reminding them to run away quickly.

The horn eagle's animal instincts were more sensitive than humans', and it immediately began to panic and tremble on the ground.

"President... President."

Gabriel swallowed unconsciously, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He performed better and could still speak, after all, he was a man who had been injected with the mutant blood of the anaconda.

Lu He ignored him, walked to the cage, squatted down, patted the horned eagle on the head, and said, "I still like your unruly look at the beginning."

Gabri opened the cage and released the horned eagle.

Lu He embedded control runes into its body, stood on the back of the horned eagle, and gave flight instructions.

Puff!

The horned eagle flapped its black wings desperately, making a popping sound. Dust was everywhere on the ground, but it couldn't get up.

Lu He originally wanted to see if this giant raptor could take him flying directly, but now it seemed that it was far behind.

Shaking his head, he added a light body technique to himself.

The horned eagle suddenly felt a lightness on its body and ran forward two steps quickly. Then it flapped its wings and took off into the air in a few clicks, taking Luhe up to a height of 100 meters.

Lu He looked down. Several members of the Assistance Association looked up at the open space of the advance base. Next to them were the endless river and the towering signal tower.

Today, the sky in the rainforest is blue, with a few thin white clouds floating slowly in the wind above my head. The faint sunshine shines on my body without any warmth, and the cold wind blows on my face.

Lu He stopped the horned eagle from continuing to climb. This height was just right. If there was an accident and he accidentally fell from the sky, he could land safely.

In fact, he can fly by himself now, but it will consume a lot of magic power and the speed is relatively slow. No wizard, no matter how desperate, will choose this inefficient way to fly.

Apprentices don't have many choices when traveling. Those who have the conditions will tame a flying animal like him, those who have the idea will give themselves a pair of wings, and some will mutate their legs and run directly.

Formal wizards will be more advanced, and some will choose body elementalization, void transformation, or direct rune array teleportation, etc. There are many ways to travel, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

"I'll give you a makeover when I get back. It's too shameful to keep using the lightening technique."

Lu He already had several ideas for transformation, and planned to strengthen the horned eagle in all aspects, from its wings to its body.

A little while later, the Wizard Tower was already in sight.

A light blue magic ripple enveloped a few hundred meters around the Wizard Tower.

This is the guardian witchcraft that Lu He turned on when he left.

Under the shroud of this witchcraft, as long as the breath of unrecorded creatures is present, all foreign strange creatures will be affected by the defensive witchcraft and get lost in the vast forest.

Of course, due to his limited strength, the defensive ability of the magic circle is not that strong. It is mainly aimed at single targets on the ground. There is no way to deal with things like rockets washing the ground or tank clusters charging.

Because technology and magic are both manifestations of knowledge, one is not necessarily strong or the other is weak.

Whether it is technology or spells, the processes may be different, but the effects they achieve are not substantially different. In the final analysis, there is still no way to escape the principle of reaching the same destination through different paths.

…………

A week later, in the evening, a hazy silver moon hung in the blue sky, and in the dim forest ahead, several dogs barked and rats rang from time to time.

Lu He walked out of the wizard tower with a tired look on his face and cast a casual glance at a tree not far away.

He pointed lightly with his right hand, and a little red light flew out from his fingertips and landed on the tree.

Immediately, the tree shuddered, and the trunk, together with the branches and leaves on it, exploded in an instant, turning into countless long-limbed wooden blocks and leaves. They fell from mid-air to the ground and jumped around on the grass. go.

Lu He murmured with satisfaction: "It's really full of life."

He squatted down and grabbed a one-legged leaf. The leaf twisted unconsciously in his hands, and after a moment it turned into ashes and disappeared.

This is his newly developed activation spell. It is very similar to the previous physical holy spell, but its meaning is completely different. The holy spell was created by him through random trials, while this activation spell was precisely researched by him with the goal of results. of.

The development process is very simple. First, find the DNA code for expressing traits in the plant, and then forcibly contaminate it with force. By destroying the expression of the entire DNA system at one point, it temporarily gives it a certain vitality.

But it's limited to this. Although it is alive, it has neither intelligence nor autonomous control, and even its activity can only be maintained for a period of time.

In fact, there are many methods that can achieve similar effects. For example, formal wizards will naturally emit a special kind of radiation from their body surface at all times.

This kind of radiation will have unpredictable effects on the surrounding materials, and sometimes the treasure chest will grow two legs and run away carrying their belongings.

But these wizards also start at at least level four.

Lu He felt that he was just an apprentice, and it was already amazing to be able to develop this kind of magic.

As for how he understands DNA and can distinguish the function of each DNA, it starts from the Institute of Life Research.

After all, Patani did not complete this task. The Eagle Federation and the Corrupt State valued these top scientists very much. Many third brothers died but few succeeded. In the end, it was not without gain, and they brought back several smart brains.

After absorbing it, Lu He felt that he could do it and didn't need them anymore, so he decided to do his own research.

"This activation is negative energy pollution. What will be the effect if it is replaced by positive energy?"

Lu He looked at the ashes on the ground and thought for a while, then turned and entered the wizard tower.
