Chapter 319 Experiment

After leaving the 99th floor of the tower, Enzo took the elevator to the 81st floor of the tower.

This is the public area of ​​the tower, with paid laboratories, training rooms, biological sample storage rooms and other areas inside. After Enzo walked out of the elevator, he went straight to the paid laboratory area.

"Rent a laboratory!"

Enzo stopped outside a room and paid a sum of merit points with the card in his hand. The door of the paid laboratory opened automatically, revealing the spacious space inside and a series of experimental equipment.

Walking straight into the laboratory, Enzo looked around.

"Not bad!" He nodded.

"Junior laboratory/Applicant: Enzo (first-order wizard)/Lease time: 10 days/Lease fee: 100 merit points." At this time, the laboratory door closed automatically, and a mechanical sound came from the room.

Any wizard has the right to use the laboratory in the public area.

But before using it, you need to pay a certain amount of merit points based on the length of time. It is another common currency that belongs to the expeditionary force in [Elkila World] besides magic stones, and can be obtained by performing tasks.

After completing the previous investigation mission on the Twisted Jungle, Enzo received a large amount of merit points.

"Chip, record!"

Enzo walked to the central area of ​​the laboratory, took out a branch from the space ring, placed it on an experimental table, and then ordered the chip to turn on the recording function.

On the experimental platform, a branch trembled slightly.

This is a branch obtained from a twisted tree demon in a previous investigation mission. Enzo plans to use this as a sample to study biological information about the twisted tree demon.

"What a powerful life force!"

Looking at the twisted and trembling branches on the experimental table, Enzo sighed in his heart. This branch had been cut off from the twisted tree demon, but it still contained a trace of life.

Based on his investigation in the Twisted Jungle, Enzo has some knowledge of the Twisted Tree.

Ordinary twisted trees are not intelligent creatures, but they have the ability to breed bionic crocodile monsters and are extremely vital. It is precisely because of this that Gram chose to merge with the giant twisted tree.

"Let's begin!" Enzo muttered.

On the experimental table, metal chains were suspended from the top of the room, with light-concentrating stones inlaid at the ends. The twelve hanging chains and light-concentrating stones just formed a circle around the experimental table below, and the light dispersed the surrounding shadows.

"Chip, establish the first experimental mission, goal: extract the life energy of twisted branches!"

"Ding! The task has been created and the scanning job has started."

As the sound of the chip rang in his mind, Enzo took a deep breath and started the experimental work. A faint blue light appeared in his eyes, and he raised his hand to control the mobile robotic arm on the experimental table, and moved the The high-definition microscope was focused on a twisted branch on the experimental table.

On the surface of the trembling twisted branches, there are meridians like blood vessels.

The breath of life continued to flow, but it was also disappearing. This branch left the twisted tree demon as the mother body. Although it contained strong vitality, it did not die immediately.

But as time goes by, the vitality contained in it will be lost little by little.

Enzo no longer hesitated, and controlled the mechanical arm with his other hand, bringing the energy extractor on it close to the twisted branch, sucking out the life energy contained in it bit by bit.

Click!

After the life energy contained inside was extracted, the twisted branches withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and shriveled up in a moment, making a sound as if they were about to break.

"Done!" Enzo's eyes were calm and he stopped moving.

All the life energy of the twisted branches has been extracted. Energy the size of a baby's fist is sucked into the energy extractor, like a glowing jellyfish.

"It has completely lost its vitality!"

Enzo stretched out his hand and picked up the withered branch with two fingers. After the life energy was drained, the branch was like dry firewood, so light that it had almost no weight.

Randomly throwing it into the recycling bin, Enzo took out something from the space ring and threw it on the experimental table.

Bang!

It was the body of a bionic crocodile monster, broken into two parts in the middle. It was completely dead at this time. The body was stiff and cold, and green juice was flowing from the cut.

"Next, let's verify my speculation!"

Enzo's eyes flashed with luster, and he turned his gaze to the experimental table. He controlled the mechanical arm to align the two bodies of the bionic crocodile monster, and then injected the life energy extracted from the twisted branches into the body of the bionic crocodile monster.

The light green life energy merges with the corpse of the bionic crocodile monster.

This is an experiment conducted by Enzo based on the characteristics between the twisted tree demon and the bionic crocodile monster. Since the injured bionic crocodile monster in the previous battle can recover by drilling into the body of the twisted tree demon, that may mean , the life energy of the twisted tree demon can heal the bionic crocodile monster.

The bionic crocodile monster on the experimental table is dead, but after absorbing the life energy of the twisted branches, the muscles in its head are beating slightly.

"Did it work?" Enzo's eyes lit up.

Life energy has been injected, and the muscles in the bionic crocodile monster's head tremble, almost invisible to the naked eye. However, since the bionic crocodile monster can absorb the life energy of twisted branches, it means that Enzo's speculation is feasible.

"It seems that more life energy is needed."

Enzo stroked his chin, took out some twisted branches from the space ring, and extracted all the life energy inside through the energy extractor and injected it into the body of the bionic crocodile monster.

At a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye, root-like buds grow from the incision on the bionic crocodile's abdomen, intertwining and merging with each other.

Gurgle!

On the experimental table, the bionic crocodile's hind legs moved, and a sound came from its lower jaw and throat. Its green eyes gradually lit up. After absorbing enough life energy, it seemed to be about to be "resurrected".

"Will the bionic crocodile resurrected in this way still have a connection with the twisted tree demon?"

Enzo's eyes flashed with a thoughtful gleam, and then he nodded in his heart. As the mother, the twisted tree demon has a special connection with the nurturing of life. Once the bionic crocodile is resurrected, the twisted tree demon will definitely feel it.

"In this case, let's leave a backup plan!"

Enzo's eyes flashed, and a thought moved in his heart. Suddenly, an illusory crow emerged from his chest and flew into the body of the bionic crocodile, forming an illusory crow mark.

Gurgle!

A hint of darkness appeared in the green eyes of the bionic crocodile monster, and a crow's reflection flashed faintly. The phantom crow mark is also one of the derivative abilities of the advanced meditation method.

Leaving this phantom crow mark, Enzo established a special connection with this bionic crocodile monster.

】

"The life energy contained in the twisted branches can heal the bionic crocodile monster!"

"Since this inference is valid, if a twisted branch is used as a basis, can a twisted tree be cultivated?" Enzo's eyes flickered, and he grabbed the bionic crocodile monster's tail and locked it in an iron cage.

Bang!

Not long after being locked in the iron cage, the bionic crocodile monster finally revived completely. It hit the iron cage a little manically, but as Enzo's mind moved, the phantom crow mark engraved in the eyeball flickered, and the bionic crocodile monster immediately calmed down.

Then, Enzo got up and returned to the experimental table.

"The second experimental task, goal: cultivate a twisted tree based on twisted branches! Chip, establish a task file, and simulate, calculate the experimental plan and feasibility!"

"Experimental simulation in the task establishment"

"Ding! Task name: Cultivate twisted trees/Suggested plan: Step 1, put a section of twisted branches into the cultivation tank. Step 2, absorb energy based on twisted branches. Step 3, observe the reaction of twisted branches, and further experiment."

According to the instructions of the chip simulation experiment, Enzo came to the corner of the laboratory.

In front of him was a transparent cover filled with nutrient solution. Enzo opened the opening on it, took out a section of the largest twisted branch, and then threw it directly into the nutrient solution.

Gulp! Gulp!

After the twisted branch was thrown into the nutrient solution, it seemed to have a living organism, spitting out bubbles, and tiny roots extended from the cut end of the branch, twisting like a wireworm.

"Has it started to absorb the nutrient solution?" Enzo lay on the transparent cover, looking at the scene inside.

After the twisted branch was put into the nutrient solution, it reacted strongly to the outside world, but this process only lasted for a few seconds, and then it began to tremble, and the roots extending outward from the cut were all retracted.

"What's going on?" Enzo frowned.

The nutrient solution in the transparent cover contained very pure energy, all extracted from the magic stone, but the twisted branch seemed unable to absorb this energy and seemed extremely resistant.

"Could it be that this twisted branch rejects the energy in the nutrient solution?"

Enzo stroked his chin, and his mind flashed, thinking: "In this case, why not try to use the energy extracted from the native life of [Aqila World] to feed the twisted branch!"

The twisted branch could not absorb the nutrient solution, and it was likely that it was resisting the energy of the magic stone.

After all, these two things belong to different worlds. The twisted branch cannot absorb energy from another world, but if it is energy extracted from the native life of [Aqila World], it may not be.

Then, Enzo left the laboratory and came back with two green demons in his hands.

These two green demons have been dead for a long time. They are biological samples used as experiments by the tower. They can be obtained by paying some contributions.

"The blood of the green demons should contain the energy needed by the twisted branches!"

Enzo carried the two green demon corpses, walked to the transparent cover, and threw them directly into the nutrient solution. The twisted branches felt the taste of the green demon's flesh and blood, and the reaction became intense in an instant.

Squeak!

The thin roots extending from the cut end of the twisted branches immediately entangled with a green demon corpse, piercing into the green demon corpse like tentacles, and sucking greedily.

In a moment, the two green demons were swallowed up by the twisted branches.

"It really works!" Enzo's eyes lit up.

After the twisted branches swallowed the two green demon corpses, their vitality seemed to be more vigorous. The root tentacles trembled in the nutrient solution, and it seemed that they no longer resisted the energy of the nutrient solution and slowly absorbed it.

"So that's it!" Enzo stroked his chin, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful luster.

"The reason why the twisted branch resisted the energy of the nutrient solution is mainly because it is not strong enough, so it cannot absorb and digest this energy. After devouring two green demons, its vitality gradually became stronger, so it became more receptive to the energy of the nutrient solution."

Based on the different reactions of the twisted branch before and after, Enzo came to some conclusions.

"However, although the twisted branch no longer resists the nutrient solution, it still cannot quickly absorb and digest this energy. Therefore, if you want to speed up the cultivation of the twisted tree, you should still feed it the green demon corpse!"

Enzo nodded slightly, then left the laboratory and spent his merit to buy a large number of Green Goblin corpses.

A total of ten Green Goblin corpses were thrown into the transparent cover, and the twisted branches quickly swallowed them all, and then stopped absorbing other energy, as if entering a dormant state, and all the roots curled up.

"It seems that there is a limit to the energy that can be absorbed by twisting branches in one day."

Enzo saw that the twisted branches in the breeding tank had reached their limit, so he stopped feeding the Green Goblin corpse and turned to look at the bionic crocodile monster in the cage.

"If I put it out into the outside world, I wonder if it would be accepted by the Twisted Dryad?"

Enzo pondered for a moment, and then decided to give it a try. He dragged the cage holding the bionic crocodile monster away from the tower and came to the metal gate between the wall and the outside world in the [Lital Area].

"Open the door." Enzo said in a deep voice to the extraordinary knight guarding the metal door.

"Sir, Wizard Gustav has ordered that the external development mission has been suspended. No one is allowed to leave the tower now." The extraordinary knight commander replied respectfully.

"I don't want to leave, I'm just conducting an experiment. Please open the door." Enzo frowned.

"Yes, sir!" The extraordinary knight commander hesitated, and finally ordered his men to pull the chain that opened the metal door.

With a dull sound, the metal door under the wall was pulled up, revealing an external passage. Enzo opened the cage and released the bionic crocodile monster.

"Go and find your mother!"

Enzo murmured to himself, and a flash of black flashed in the eyes of the bionic crocodile monster. Then it stood on its feet and ran towards the outside world. Relying on the connection with its mother body, it could quickly find the twisted tree demon.

"Okay, close the door." Then, Enzo turned around and ordered the knight guarding the door.

Returning to the 81st floor of the tower, Enzo continued his experiments. Since the pioneering mission had been suspended, he could only spend the next period of time in biological research.

"The next main task is to cultivate a twisted tree."

"However, the artificially cultivated twisted tree cannot be the same as the ordinary twisted tree. Except for the bionic crocodile monster, it must become a mother body that can breed higher-level life!"

"Moreover, the life created by the artificially cultivated twisted tree must be able to obey my instructions!"

"In this case, let's leave an imprint on the twisted tree before it takes shape to build the connection between us."
