Chapter 48: Accidental Discovery

After all the falling dust disappeared, a giant necro creature finally broke out, but I was stunned.

"Giant horseshoe crab?"

The creature in front of me is not the creature that should appear here now. It seems that there are problems in time and place. The guy in front of me is clearly a Cambrian marine arthropod, a super ancient creature that was several eras earlier than the dinosaurs. No matter how I thought about it, I never thought that the undead of such things could be summoned in Anubis' territory. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have appeared on land at all, and the era is too different, right?

I watched the monster, which was bigger than the sports field, slowly stood up. His body looked like a crab with a long tail, but its shell was not full of edges and corners like a crab shell. Its shell looked smoother, like an upside-down dish.

After the monster stood up, he turned around. Because it had no eyes, I didn't know if this thing was paying attention to me, but it must be looking for the breath of the crystal powder I sprinkled just now. For the undead creatures, the powder of the black crystal is the best nutritional product, but it seems that it is not very useful to summon the thing in front of me. What I want is to summon a skeleton or ghost to ask for a way, but it summoned such a big guy. Not to mention whether it can communicate, even if it can speak human language, how much crystal powder can I want to help?

After thinking about it, I planned to change my seat and call again. This big guy was not the object of direction. Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around and wanted to fly away, I felt the huge wind coming from behind. In a panic, I suddenly flashed in the air, and a huge steel whip fell vertically, almost taking me down with me.

The steel whip failed to hit, and several identical steel whips flew next to me. I hurriedly twisted my body and walked through the thick steel whips.

"Why are you, abominable monster, attacking me? I didn't let you do anything. I sprinkled a handful of crystal powder and didn't ask you for it. You actually want to attack me. Do you have any conscience?"

"Give me all the crystal powder on your body, and I'll let you go." Unexpectedly, this monster could really speak, and it sounded quite fluent, but the sound was a bit loud, and it was almost caught up with the sound wave attack.

"Do you want crystal powder? Yes, I want to ask something, and tell me this handful of crystal powder is yours." I took out another handful of crystal powder and shook it.

"I want all."

I had long guessed that this big guy had a big appetite. "No, just say it, don't say it."

"What do you say or not, I want crystal powder."

Now I understand. This guy is not bargaining with me at all. He just wants to steal all the crystal powder and doesn't want to help. I also know a little about it. After all, they live in a long time. There is no moral norm in that era. Everything is based on strength. As long as I am stronger than you, I will bite you and bite you and kick you twice. Anyway, you can't beat me, so you don't have to worry about your revenge. As long as you have the strength, you can walk sideways.

"Okay, you want crystal powder, right?" I smiled wickedly and took out a handful of crystal powder of the bright crystal from the Phoenix Dragon Space. Then I sprinkled it over.

The crystal powder of the black crystal can enhance the power of undead creatures and plays a nourishing role, while the crystal powder of the light crystal is completely opposite. It can burn the soul fire of the undead, which is very dangerous for the undead. Like ordinary advanced undead, there is no need to worry about this thing. After all, the crystal powder is not a shotgun, and it can blow away as long as it can gusts of wind. However, although this thing in front of me is large, it is still a low-level undead, so it is definitely unable to deal with these crystal powders. When the crystal powder shining with bright light falls on the monster, a white holy fire immediately rises. The monster screams and rolls desperately in the flames. At first, it can still wield the tentacles with strong whips and go crazy. Later, it can't even move, and can only make a series of low moans.

I flew to the guy and landed directly on his body, then knocked on its shell, but heard a metal echo. "Your shell is so good. Let me try how hard it is." As I said that, I smashed it with a hammer of Eternal Change. At first I didn't use much effort. One hammer went down and Eternal Repellent was actually bounced back. "Not bad. It's useful. Xiaolongnu, Ling, Crystal, come out. Please help me see how this thing is?"

Ling first tapped with his hands, then smashed it twice with his staff, but found that it could not be hit. Xiaolongnu was so simple that she directly stretched out a green jade finger and drew a circle on the edge of the carapace, and then pounded it gently at the center of the circle and cut it down.

"This thing has a very high hardness, almost comparable to the sharp claws of our Shenlong clan."

Ling took the circle cut by Xiaolongnu and held it in her palm. Then she saw a green flame suddenly rise in her palm. The circle quickly shrinks and condenses in the flames, and finally turns into a ball of ink-black substance. As Ling Di's fingers tweaked several times, the black substance floated above Ling's palm, and gradually expanded into a round thin plate.

"I didn't expect this thing to be tempered."

“How hardness?”

Ling handed the thing to Xiaolongnu. Xiaolongnu tapped his nails a few times, then shook his head. "It has exceeded my dragon claws. It seems that this is not the ultimate hardness. If there is good equipment for finishing, I believe it will become harder."

Crystal took the thin slice and looked at it, "Although the hardness is very good, this thing can isolate magic conduction. If it is used as armor or weapon, it will be a whiteboard equipment?"

"Well, don't you be afraid, can we use it to produce magic puppets? Anyway, magic puppets don't use magic as long as they are hard enough."

We found the best use of this thing in just a few words, but I still feel it's a pity. "Although this guy is not small, there shouldn't be much material left after tempering. It seems that he can only produce a few particularly strong ground elite witches!"

"I don't think so." Ling pointed to the ground. "I just felt it. I just discovered a lot of soul sensing like this. There should be a lot of such creatures here. If all of them are dug out and refined, I think it will definitely be enough to use it to make a demon puppet."

"Maybe Oops..." I suddenly felt a pain in my feet. I jumped and dodged away. I saw a strange creature with electric arcs all over my body lying where I was standing. "It's so embarrassing to be bitten by such a little thing!"

"Why does this thing look so familiar?" Ling's fingers made the little thing fly up immediately, and then under Ling's command, they turned into a bottom in the air. We looked at the little thing and then the big guy lying next to him. Now we completely understood. This little thing is the little guy's little body.

"I think our resource supply problem has been solved." Crystal looked at the little thing still in the lightning arc and said, "This little guy is still alive, just take some back and raise it."

"I have lived in the mother's body for so long and haven't died yet. Could this little thing have a long growth cycle, right?" Although I don't know so many economic rules as Rose, at least I am not stupid. If these things have a growth cycle too long, they will have no feeding value.

Fortunately, Ling answered our question. "I just used soul search to check the soul of this big guy, so you don't have to worry. The reason why these little guys haven't died for so long is because they are guarded by the mother's soul in the mother's body. This creature has a very strong motherhood. Even if it dies, it is still defending its children. It was because they were too seriously injured by the light crystal powder, so they could not control the protective space in their body, so the little guy ran out."

“How long are their growth cycles? Can they be put into practical use?”

“The growth cycle is only six months.”

"What? Six months?" I looked at the little thing floating in the air, which was not much larger than a crab, and then looked at the big guy under my feet who was more than two football fields. I really couldn't imagine how this thing increased myself by more than 100,000 times in six months. Is this just like blowing a balloon?

Ling suddenly moved the little thing to me and said, "Actually, I don't think these things need to be killed at all."

"Why?"

"Because this is an arthropod, their shells cannot grow with their bodies, so they need to constantly molt during the six-month growth period, that is...!"

Xiaolongnu snatched it over and said, "That means we don't need to do it. The raw materials will fall off them naturally, right?"

"Correct." Ling continued: "When the new shell inside is formed, the shell will be cracked by the internal muscle tissue. We can collect the fragments and use them to extract this high-hardness raw material. There is no need to kill them. Moreover, this creature can actually be domesticated. When necessary, it can also be used as a war machine."

"Real machine?" Xiaolongnu couldn't understand Ling's meaning.

I helped explain: "These things are as big as two football fields, and their shells are as hard as city walls. As long as they are treated less on their backs, they can build a heavy artillery position. At that time, we will have a mobile turret."

"It's not just a turret." Ling added: "The giant horseshoe crab is a aquatic arthropod. Although it can move freely on land, it is still a marine animal in the final analysis, so its biggest function is not to act as a turret, but to act as a submersible warship. With its shell hardness, there is basically no need to worry about the other party's artillery. Moreover, it is an aquatic animal itself, and diving is as simple as walking. Also, although this thing does not have any magic, it can discharge electricity, and there are dozens of steel fists that are thicker than oil pipelines. It can dominate the ocean by physical attack alone. Even on land, with its tentacle damage power, it is definitely no problem to destroy the city wall."

"Is this thing weak?"

"Yes. Its belly only has a soft shell. Its hardness is not as hard as our armor. So...!"

"So as long as someone gets under its belly, you can kill it easily, right?"

Ling nodded: "Theory is this, but the premise is that you have to avoid those charged wrists first. Also, if it suddenly pulls off, no one can guarantee that they will not be crushed."

After listening to Ling Di's introduction, I made a natural decision - raise giant horseshoe crabs on a large scale. This kind of thing is really useful. It can be used as smelting materials during the growth period, and can still fight when it grows up. After death, the shells on my body can be recycled. There are basically no shortcomings except that the meat cannot be eaten.

Since I decided to recycle and raise it, I had to collect a large number of small horseshoe crabs and take it back to feed it on a large scale. For this reason, I specially opened the space door and released the Kirin Warrior and the Knight of the Ringyin to help me collect the shells of the undead and the alive juvenile bodies everywhere. In order to facilitate the convenience of closing the space door after a while, I kept Ling, and she could help me control the space door and summon creatures. Considering that Ling might not be safe to go back alone, I also kept Xiaolongnu and Bai Xue to protect each other for a while, and Bai Xue could also serve as mounts for Ling.

After telling them to move things, they went back to Aisinger to wait for me. I took other demon pets to leave here to find the fruit of wishes. I first left this place of right and wrong, found a place without a big guy, and I sprinkled a handful of crystal powder again. Fortunately, I didn't crawl out this time. Instead, an arm covered with dry muscles like beef was stretched out from the ground. I didn't wait for him to climb out slowly, and grabbed his hand and pulled him out.

"Don't pull, don't pull, it's going to fall!" The guy under the ground started to scream as soon as he was pulled out of his head. Unfortunately, he was too late. Before I could let go, I felt a sudden light in my hand. As a result, the guy fell back to the ground, and only half of my arm was left in my hand.

"Hey... this... I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be so unsolid!" I quickly returned the half of my arm. Then I sprinkled the black crystal powder on the broken mouth, and the two arms immediately connected together. For these undead, the black crystal powder is a panacea, and everything is managed.

"What are you going to do when you summon me?" The mummy said while fiddling with her new arm: "I don't have much ability. If you want me to fight, I will definitely fall out in an instant."

"I don't want you to fight. Besides, I won't call you like this even if I want to fight? I want to ask something."

"That's fine. I can tell you what I know, but you have to give me some crystal powder."

I immediately took a handful of crystal powder and came out. "I want to ask if you have seen a girl in green clothing passing by here?"

"Is it the girl who wears leaves and has the fragrance of fruit on her body?"

"Did you see it?"

"Yes. She ran over from where I was lying. Then she ran to the other side."

I looked at the direction he pointed, and thought that the fruit of wishes had indeed changed the direction of progress. It seemed that Xiaochun was correct in his analysis. "Thank you then." After I handed the crystal powder to him, I immediately chased forward.

The underworld is a veritable ghost place. It can be said that there are ghosts everywhere. I found out all the way and easily tracked the whereabouts of the fruit of wishes. It seemed that she changed direction and changed direction many times, but in the end she turned into the opposite direction in the direction of departure. Fortunately, she did not change direction afterwards. Based on her movement direction, I guessed that her destination should be Bisso City. This is a relatively large undead settlement under the leadership of Anubis, where a large number of undeads and dark creatures live. It is said that many low-level gods of the Underworld can be found there.

Since I predicted the destination in advance, I didn't bother asking all the way, but flew directly to the destination to find it. The shape of Bisoucheng is relatively dilapidated. The walls more than five meters high are covered with loess, which look like they will fall off at any time. The houses in the city are basically civil structures, and the appearance is similar to the city wall. They are all included in the ranks of dangerous houses by me.

I asked the undead warrior guarding the gate at the city gate and found out that the fruit of wishes had just entered the city from here a few minutes ago. As expected, I did not chase the wrong direction. After entering the city, I flew all the way to the first fork, and then used crystal powder as chips to inquire about a undead businessman on the side of the road and learned that the fruit of wishes had followed several undead into the OnePlus store not far away. I hurriedly chased after him again.

Many people think that the underworld is a transit station for the soul. After the people in the world die, their souls will come here to queue up for reincarnation and then return to the world. In fact, that's not the case. The underworld also has a long-standing population, and these undead will not return to the world at all. Some undead are native natives who are born and raised. They are not the souls left by the death of creatures in the upper world. Like my demon pet phantom, it is a spiritual body generated in the world. It also has many characteristics of the undead, but because it is in the world.

However, the land is generated, so we are not afraid of light and magic. Since the human world can also generate spiritual bodies, let alone the underworld, it is normal to generate spiritual bodies here. Because there are long-lasting spirits here, there will naturally be some simple transactions before the undead, but because the desires and needs of the undead are not much, this kind of transaction is still behind and not very frequent, but no matter what, transactions still exist. For example, the undead store in front of me is one of them.

When I saw me walking into the store, a big-eyed mm with a wet body immediately came up. This mm was wearing a wide robe, but because her whole body was covered in water, she looked close to her body and seemed a little transparent. If ordinary people were probably going to have their blood, they would have been surging. Fortunately, I have always had a high resistance to beauties.

"Sir, do you need something?" mm asked enthusiastically.

I didn't answer her words, but asked in surprise: "Why are you like this? You fell into the water? There seems to be no river nearby!" The undead didn't need to drink water, and of course they wouldn't dig wells or reserve water sources. There was no natural water nearby. I was curious why she was like fished out from the river.

The girl explained in a very plain tone that I almost fainted. "That... Actually, I was dragged into deep water by the Nile crocodile while cleaning the pot by the river a few days ago. Because it took a long time to reincarnate, I found a job here..." The girl rolled up her robe a little and let me see her bone-less calf. According to her, the meat there was bitten off by a crocodile, and I was so excited that I could hear it.

Now I understand that this woman is just a ghost, so she is wet. The water on her body is actually not water at all, it is her memory of death, just like a burned ghost often catches fire when she goes to the underworld. As for her big eyes, it seems that she glared out because of the suffocation before drowning, so she feels very big.

I didn't say it out loud, but pretended to ask about the products, and then asked about the fruit of the wish. I lied to the water ghost and said that it was my friend. The two of them said they would meet here and asked her if she had seen it.

Water Ghost mm immediately said that my friend followed a few undead who came to buy things and went to the back with the boss, and then she was very enthusiastic about taking me in. I politely declined her kindness and walked to the back of the store. As soon as I opened the curtain, I smelled a burnt smell with a faint meat fragrance. After a closer look, I found that there was a charred body lying beside the curtain, and many places were still on fire. Most of its body had turned into charred carbon, and the smell should be on it.

I didn't care about the corpse. I was about to step forward and suddenly felt that my ankle was caught. I turned my head and saw that it was the charred corpse. If a person with poor psychological quality is generally dizzy, I would be dissatisfied, but my psychological quality has always been abnormal and I had no reaction to it. "Let go." I said lukewarmly.

Not only did the Jiaozi not let go, but also stretched out his other hand. Seeing that he was so uncooperative, I was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. After two clatters, Caiozi lay back and continued to walk towards the yard with two burning arms on my ankle.

The Egyptians built houses very strangely. They obviously had land, but they liked to build houses very densely. The backyard looked like a maze. I pushed open the deepest door of the yard and took a step in, but I stood there in a daze.
