Chapter 195 X Element Mutation
Several people sneaked into the depths of the cave one after another.
Ignoring the shocked people.
Lei Luo carried the spar lamp and moved the bones at the bottom of the cave in the deepest part of the cave. After a while, he set up a simple test bench, and then began to dissect the rear half of the giant centipede's body and continue his research.
Gudu.
The members of the Azure Badge Mercenary Group swallowed their saliva and looked at this mysterious magician.
"This place is so dangerous, do you have any plans?"
The old magician of Azure Heart helped Lei Luo place the biological specimens.
"I found several interesting things in its body, which may be helpful for future explorations."
Lei Luo took out three dark red crystal stones.
The old magician picked up a piece and observed it carefully.
Although he is not a scholar of evolutionary mysteries and has little interest in studying biological specimens, as a spiritual scholar, he is very sensitive to emotional energy.
"Energy crystal mixed with fear and blood power?"
Lei Luo was very interested as he traced the scalpel along the most vulnerable part of the giant centipede specimen.
"If I force my way in here, even if it is the safest time here during the day, and my strength is twice as strong, the chance will not be great. But if I can disguise myself, blend into this forest, and eliminate the hostility here, the chance will be much greater. .”
and……
The following words were Lei Luo's silent words in his heart.
"If it is true, as I have speculated, that the ecological system of this world is composed of completely different ecosystems, perhaps I can gradually complete the growth of the Star Curtain Essence by continuously integrating into these ecological systems, just like my initial After signing a contract with the ginseng spirit during the mutation, it was integrated into the natural power of the environment and magnetic field, thus enhancing the essence of the star curtain."
"camouflage?"
This evolutionary mystic scholar's views and way of thinking about things are completely different from his own.
The old magician asked doubtfully: "How to disguise it?"
"I will use these crystals to make a simple protective shield necklace, which will continuously release the energy of the power of night to the surroundings. If you are also interested, you can barter. I need some special ones. Magic materials.”
Everyone looked at each other and then started talking in low voices.
After a long time.
The old magician came over again. Lei Luo, who was dissecting and studying specimens, turned to look. The old magician shook his head.
"I'm really sorry. This mission has exceeded our endurance. The captain even lost his mount. We have made up our minds to leave early tomorrow morning."
A sigh.
Lei Luo said: "That's really a pity."
But then, Lei Luo said: "By the way, I wonder if the master has gravity stones. I can exchange them with other magic materials and magic props."
As Lei Luo watched, Azure Heart hesitated for a moment, and then took out a gravity stone that was larger than the one Lei Luo removed from the head of the Flame Dragon's Roaring Wand.
The color of surprise.
Lei Luo said: "How about I exchange this high-level magic necklace? It has softening and floating skills sealed. Although it may not be of much help to the master, whether it is used as a gift to the younger generation or sold, I believe it can be worth the money." The gravity stone is worth it.”
"make a deal."
The old magician took the magic necklace. After observing it for a while, he happily agreed and handed over his gravity stone.
Lei Luo showed a satisfied smile.
These days, with Lei Luo's continuous in-depth research on the gravity stone, coupled with consulting the old monster Corleone from time to time, the research on the gravity stone has reached a very in-depth level.
This material seems to be a relatively low-level, but essential and important element for stars.
It does not exist as high-purity precision energy like obsidian, moonstone, and star crystal, but it requires a huge amount to strengthen its own magnetic field gravity and capture the essence of the universe.
This is the key to affecting the speed of planetary evolution and growth.
…
the next day.
The sky was getting brighter, and the forest that had been boiling all night became quiet again.
The fog thinned.
The visibility returned to a hundred meters away, and the sky was shrouded in reddish clouds. The sun's rays passed through the clouds, and only a faint layer fell on the ground.
Everyone from the Azure Badge Mercenary Group came to the ground.
Under the action of the highly active microorganisms in the soil, although everyone can see the sunken footprints left on the ground after the giant biological activity last night, the outlines have begun to become blurred. It seems that in a few days, the highly active microorganisms will disappear under the influence.
"Have you really decided to leave?"
Lei Luo advised: "As long as I make a disguise necklace, you should have a good chance."
"We have decided that this mission is too dangerous and far beyond the capabilities of our team!"
Seeing the determination of everyone in the Blue Badge mercenary team, Lei Luo stopped persuading and limped back to the underground cave.
It takes time to refine the camouflage necklace and recover from the ankle injury.
and.
Another gravity stone was harvested!
It is better to take this time to study the last part of the magnetic field properties of the gravity stone, so as to complete his second evolution after the Gulan Sand Flame, and also add some strength to his deep forest.
After returning to the cave.
Remove the gauze from the ankle.
The pain spread, and Lei Luo looked at the thick water flowing out of his ankle due to the poison. As a guy who has learned the scholar's culture deeply into his bones, he was not only cruel to the specimens, but also cruel to himself. After experiencing life and death with the Dream Moon Technique several times, After the process, at this moment, he actually regarded himself as a biological specimen.
"hiss!!"
Alcohol disinfection, the severe pain is unspeakable.
Lei Luo's facial muscles kept twitching, but he used his will to forcibly defeat his weakness. Even fainting was regarded as an escape from weakness by his will.
After the pain has passed.
The pale Lei Luo took a deep breath, took out the scalpel, and after treating his wound a little, the blood that flowed out returned to bright red again. Then he took out a bottle of life essence from the space ring, poured it on the wound, and accelerated the cells. Regenerate and then redress the wound.
"Pain is something that you really don't feel in other people."
Lei Luo murmured to himself.
…
Two days later.
With the help of the Life Essence Repair Liquid, Lei Luo's injuries were restored and he was able to move normally. It seemed that he would be fully recovered in a few days.
At this moment, Lei Luo was staring closely at the flames in the alchemy furnace.
The airtight underground space was too hot, and Lei Luo's clothes were wet with sweat, but Lei Luo remained indifferent.
The wait lasted three hourglasses.
finally.
Lei Luo shut down the furnace at the moment when the material fusion reached 100% and the mutation rate reached 0.79%.
Pour the alloy juice into the grinding tool.
As the alloy solution gradually cooled, Lei Luo added flexibility softener and some licorice powder, and the sixth camouflage necklace was completed!
"Six necklaces should be enough even if we explore the Land of Night again in the future."
Muttering to himself, Lei Luo put away the night camouflage necklace.
These necklaces are just to prepare for future emergencies. Thinking about it, Lei Luo thought that if he could find a way to integrate into the power of night just like integrating into the power of nature, he would not only enhance his star curtain essence, but also be able to avoid the power of night. The repulsion from the powerful environment is much stronger than this disguise.
Lei Luo was about to put away the alchemy furnace and continue to study the magnetic field of the gravity stone. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something and was stunned for a moment.
"Huh?"
Lei Luo looked at the layer of light red mist floating in the alchemy furnace.
"What's this?"
It seems that if we don't hurry up and collect it, the mist will evaporate and disperse.
After being surprised, Lei Luo took out a glass vessel and carefully collected the light red mist. As the mist in the glass vessel gradually cooled, the mist gradually condensed into an irregular black crystal with a diameter of 0.05cm.
But it was different from the previous crystals that were mixed with fear and blood.
This irregular crystal seems to be a purer night energy, something that can stimulate creatures to be excited in the dark, or in other words, an energy that can affect the biological clock.
Specifically.
The difference between this black crystal and the blood-colored crystal is like the difference between life essence and various attribute crystals. There is no distinction between high and low, it is just a rare elemental attribute.
"Perhaps, we should study it carefully!"
Lei Luo instinctively sensed the special nature of this thing and murmured to himself.
Put away the alchemy furnace.
After Lei Luo observed the crystal under a microscope for a while, he began to try adding various materials to the crystal to observe different reactions.
A few hourglass hours later.
Lei Luo obtained some preliminary results.
"This thing has a special reaction with almost all metals. After contacting the metal, it will become extremely active and stick to it like a kind of liquid life. However, it seems that it needs stimulation from another element to exert its properties. This is probably why the mutated centipede’s carapace is so strong.”
After a pause, Lei Luo looked at another vessel.
"But after this crystal was neutralized with the life energy, it produced a brand new element that seemed extremely unstable and yet perfectly integrated."
Through observation, Lei Luo discovered that this brand-new element was surprisingly related to the unstable and unknown mutation in the alchemical process to a certain extent!
According to Master Gu Bo, there are only two factors that affect the instability and variation of alchemy.
One is an alchemy furnace.
The probability of unstable mutation of the alchemy furnace gradually increases as the alchemist continues to grow and the materials in the furnace burn, evaporate and accumulate essence.
Gubo's alchemy furnace has a maximum instability mutation probability of about 2.5%, which is already among the top alchemy furnaces in the Principality of Gran.
Lei Luo's furnace was purchased at a high price of 45 gold coins and 25 silver coins from an auction during his travels. The highest mutation probability is about 1%.
Although it is not as high-quality as Gu Bo's alchemy furnace, it still has a certain foundation.
As long as Lei Luo continues to refine and cultivate, the quality of the furnace will gradually change accordingly.
The other is the secret recipe of the master alchemist!
The difference between an alchemist and an alchemist master lies in the secret recipe. During the long-term alchemy process, a mature alchemist will often use some special means to affect the mutation rate of magical props and magic weapons.
"This thing is an alchemical secret recipe that increases the probability of mutation?"
Lei Luo murmured to himself.
As far as Lei Luo knows, in addition to the alchemy furnace and the secret alchemy recipe, there is a third method in this world that can affect the probability of mutation, and that is his own star core alchemy!
"The process of experimental research is always full of surprises."
Lei Luo admired the crystal, his face unable to hide the surprise.
If Lei Luo hadn't had considerable research on alchemy, other scholars might not be able to discover the mystery even if they fused this brand new energy crystal.
This is professional specialization.
"Hey, after this mission is over, let's test the specific effectiveness of this thing. Let's name it X element for the time being."
After Lei Luo took out the X element, he took out the "Starry Sky Academic" notebook and recorded it carefully.
