Therefore, based on the ability to make ice, the value of the ice treasure box far exceeds that of an artifact that can only be used for fighting.
Its most valuable use is to benefit life, and the beneficiaries will be far more than the frost giants.
But this is still not the full ability of the Frost Treasure Box. The Frost Treasure Box can also absorb cold air in reverse. If it weren't for the mural display, not only the old Xie family would not know it, but Asgard had obtained it for so many years, and obviously hadn't studied it seriously.
This has expanded the scope of application of the Frost Treasure Box. Not only can it make ice, but it can also change the atmospheric environment. In turn, weather weapons can also create a livable environment and transform planets with harsh environments. The efficiency and cost will be greatly reduced.
So a good thing depends on the purpose of the person who uses it.
But this is not over yet, the purpose of the Frost Giants to create this treasure is for the future of their nation.
Therefore, the ice treasure box is also the last means of refuge for this civilization.
Yes, the Ice Treasure Box is still a means of transportation. When necessary, you can create a huge ice continent, or even directly build a satellite-level one, and the cold jet of the Ice Treasure Box can also be used as a propeller. .
Then once it is time to face the disaster of annihilation, you can take your clansmen and escape into the universe.
As for how to survive in the vacuum of the universe, although they haven't described it in detail, they definitely have a way.
What's more, the vacuum environment can't kill the Asgardians. As a frost giant with similar strength, it probably doesn't care.
It's just that the mobility of this method is far inferior to that of a spaceship, and it can only be pushed slowly, similar to the migration method of a small broken ball, but it is undeniable that this can indeed keep the fire of civilization.
It's a pity that the Frost Giants were unlucky. After several bad lucks in the development of civilization, there was a fault in the inheritance. Later, even the ice treasure box was snatched by Asgard.
It's no wonder that the Frost Giants readily cooperated when Loki flirted with them. After all, the Frost Box was too important to them, and precisely because of its importance, they couldn't help but hate Asgard to the bone.
But Xie Zhi felt very sorry, if he had known that the ice treasure box had this ability, he would not have to bother to move Mars from the broken ball world, and just get a small frozen planet.
Of course, real planets, especially those like Mars, are still irreplaceable in their own value. Ice planets are nothing more than high efficiency, but they still have their flaws, at least...too cold.
The old Xie's family has a strong physique, but he has no interest in living in a hockey puck, so Xie Zhi's mentality is purely to be cheap and good-looking.
In short, this treasure will become an important development weapon for the old Xie family.
Don't talk about how to open your mind, let's take a step back, even selling ice skates in the universe is a big business that makes money. Who doesn't care about water resources?
It's just that I know the function, but the mural is just for display, not an instruction manual, so I didn't mention how to operate it at all.
However, Xie Zhi thinks that the operation method should not be difficult. After all, when this thing is used as a weapon after obtaining it, it is quite simple to use, and there is no password set. I guess I and Asgard did not figure it out. There are other functions, and the thinking is bound.
Now Xie Zhi is not in a hurry to try, and continues to look at the murals.
But what happened next made Xie Zhi look weird.
Nothing else, it involves the source of the ice treasure box, what is this thing made of.
That's... the heart of a humanoid embryo. (Note 1)
Yes, it looks like an embryo, not yet grown to the level of a baby.
But its size is too exaggerated. Judging from the proportions of the murals, taking the Frost Giant's body shape equal to that of the Earthlings in the past as a reference, the size of the embryo is almost the same as that of King Kong who first met on Skull Island back then!
What's more interesting is that the location of the embryo happens to be at the center of the earth.
That is, the point of the tomb.
Moreover, the mural also showed that the embryo was originally in the center of the earth, and it was not placed here by the frost giants, but the embryo was unlucky and was discovered by the frost giants.
Xie Zhi looked at the ice treasure box in his hand, and at the guide who was about to die.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly raised his hand and released a set of space bridge equipment. The other end of the equipment connection is the interior of the Imperial Star Destroyer.
Then Xie Zhi ordered the guide to go in and let him return to the surface. Of course, he also notified Bucky at the same time in case there was any change.
Yes, Xie Zhi didn't want this guide to die here, he felt... perhaps the one who called the Frost Giant to the cemetery was probably not the ancestor, but the embryo.
No matter what that thing wants, Xie Zhi is not going to give it.
After that, as Xie Zhi continued to go deeper alone, there was nothing to see in the murals, but the internal environment changed more and more.
Not only was the rock wall more radiant, but Xie Zhi also felt a real sense of oppression. Although this oppression was useless to him, most people probably couldn't stand it.
and
At this time, the corpses along the road became less and less, until they disappeared completely.
Furthermore, on the rock wall, things like vascular vines gradually extended, and the source obviously came from deeper.
Until Xie Zhi entered a wider cavity, he finally saw the giant embryo exactly like the mural.
I saw that the strange embryo was not only huge in size, but also projected fluorescence, which was translucent, and the undeveloped organs in the body could be seen.
As for the chest cavity, the incision where the heart was dug out at the beginning is still preserved.
Interestingly, when we got here, the ice treasure box also began to tremble slightly.
"Want to go back?" Xie Zhi glanced at the ice treasure box and shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work, our bear child is enough, Odin's is even worse, this one is still an embryo, a heart can do it." Forging artifacts...I'm afraid it's not a fuel-efficient lamp."
Amidst the crisp sound of the glass, Xie Zhi stuffed the ice treasure box back into the mirror space.
Xie Zhi didn't move on, and stood there silently observing for a while.
"Whatever you are, I guess...you're not dead yet.
Well, make sure. "
Xie Zhi raised his left hand, but he didn't use the Tai Chi ring, but extended the original force.
When it came into contact with the giant embryo, the Force was sucked in instantly like water meeting a sponge.
Then, Xie Zhi's Tai Chi ring extended out the energy of will, and after approaching, it was also absorbed.
Xie Zhi frowned: "I don't care about cold food, but I am not picky about food."
However, Xie Zhi did not experiment with fear energy again. The contagious nature of fear energy still needs to be cautious, so Xie Zhi chose... to activate the force to control the mind.
But the result surprised Xie Zhi, scratched his head and said to himself: "Thinking does exist, but it is surprisingly simple, there is only one concept, 'need'.
what do you need? Still need everything? But the embryo, the brain is not yet fully developed, so it follows the needs of development.
It seems that the people who are about to die come here, it is indeed because of you, but you only eat the soul and not the meat, is it because you have not grown to perfection, so your ability is limited? "
At this time, Bucky's voice appeared in the communication: "Old Xie, could it be that this thing is what Asgard is afraid of? No, no, the heart of this thing was dug out by the ancestors of the Frost Giants, so it's not enough for Ao Be careful, Ding."
If there is a way to make it explode, tsk tsk, what is the equivalent of that power?
You think, if the speculation about the energy communication of the Nine Realms is true, then of course Odin does not want to destroy what made Asgard possible.
Of course, I don't think Odin knows the existence of this embryo. Although their thief eyes are powerful, they still can't see so deep.
So it may be that Odin just knew that the Frost Giant had a card, but he didn't know what it was, and he didn't want to bet.
It's a pity that it's impossible to ask the dead ghost of the frost giant to find out the truth. Whoever let the dead ghost eat this embryo can only be judged based on the mural. "
Howard broke into the topic and said: "In any case, if this creature grows up, I'm afraid it will really stand at the top of the biological chain.
But it doesn't seem to be too much of a threat now, not to mention the half-dead state, it has not grown up in ancient times, and it is estimated that it will grow into the fetal stage, and it can take ten thousand years as a unit. "
"That's not necessarily the case." Xie Zhi said with a smile: "Maybe it's caused by malnutrition. The lifespan of a frost giant is about the same as that of an Asgardian. , it’s good that the embryo didn’t starve to death.”
Baki said: "The universe is so big, there are really many wonders. Hey, do you think this thing evolved naturally, or was it born?"
Howard sighed: "It's better to evolve naturally. If it is born, what does its mother look like?"
"Well, I remembered." Xie Zhi pointed his fingers together: "Do you still remember Typhon's headquarters, the land of nothingness, isn't that the head of a creature comparable to an asteroid.
To say who best fits the image of this embryo's mother, I think that head is the closest, maybe it is the head of this embryo's real mother. "
"It could be something like Godzilla, a bigger Godzilla," Bucky added.
"Maybe... I won't guess anymore, no matter what it is, let's try to see if I can kill it first."
Howard hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't be too busy, old Xie, this thing is not a threat, at least it won't be possible for thousands of years, let me study it."
Bucky continued: "You can pull it off, the ancestors of the frost giants have studied it, and you also want to become a big guy with blue skin and red eyes? Are you afraid that your wife will divorce you?"
"No, I have numbers, Lord
if…"
Xie Zhi interrupted: "The main reason is that I didn't stop you from researching. The problem is that there are many things worth studying in the universe, and this thing seems to be harmless, but it's not that the Frost Giants voluntarily come to feed.
Whether it is retribution or not, we have no evidence, but the danger of this thing is foreseeable.
Frankly speaking, facing this creature, I have a feeling that we are all food.
So put away your curiosity first, research it, and wait a few years before talking. "
"Why wait a few years?"
Xie knew: "Old Huo, although you haven't experienced it yourself, you also know what happened to us when we met engineers. It's scary to think about it now.
To be honest, it's better to be cautious about biotechnology, and besides, you are not engaged in biological research.
So install monitoring equipment here, observe for a few years, safety first, anyway, you can live for a long time, so what's the hurry.
Don't worry, I don't intend to kill it, I just want to make sure there is a way to kill it, just in case. "
"Say it earlier. Of course I'm not in a hurry. It's your words that are easy to misunderstand. It's a pity to kill it."
Xie Zhi didn't respond, and raised his left hand again, this time the Tai Chi ring flashed yellow light, yes, absorbing fear.
As a result, yellow filaments of light actually emerged from the embryo, which was sucked into the stomach by the Tai Chi ring like ramen.
"Thinking is super simple, and there is no willpower to speak of. It is easy to absorb... that's it."
Xie Zhi stopped absorbing fear, as long as he can determine the way to kill him, he can rest assured.
Bucky and Howard were also relieved, don't look at the three of them discussing as if nothing happened, but it would be nonsense to say that they are not afraid at all.
Among other things, this weird creature will not die if its heart is dug out, and an embryo can live for N million years. If it is not powerful, who will believe it?
Coupled with the nutritional supplement method of absorbing the soul of the frost giant, this is not a question of good and evil, but a question of who is the food and who eats it. The most basic bottom line of survival is a life-or-death relationship.
Of course, if it's a lion or a tiger, it's okay to protect the rare species. The problem is that the heart, which is still in the embryonic stage, is close to the level of a star-destroying weapon. Don't protect and protect, and make yourself into the opponent's ration.
Lao Xie's family does not have the habit of killing everything, and the way of doing things has its own moral bottom line, but he has no interest in sacrificing his life to feed tigers.
"Since it can be killed, let's keep it first."
After setting up enough monitoring equipment with Xie Zhi, they crossed the space bridge and returned to the battleship, and the quest was over.
Although the exploration of the truth is vague and new fog has emerged, the harvest is still gratifying.
At least the function of the ice treasure box is worth the ticket price, and knowing the existence of the mysterious creature is even more rewarding. The value is not whether it can be used or not, but the threat to this thing. Knowing it early is better than knowing it later.
On the contrary, the funeral customs of the frost giants will be changed from now on.
Yes, Xie Zhi used the scepter to control more people with real power, and only issued one order, let's arrange a cemetery on the surface if people die in the future.
Although the development of the mysterious embryo was slow enough, the old Xie family didn't mind it growing more slowly.
As for whether the mysterious embryo would starve to death because of this, Xie Zhisan didn't worry about it after summing up. After all, it has survived for N million years, even if it starved to death, it shouldn't be achieved in a short time.
So observe first, if you are really going to starve to death, since you can survive by absorbing energy, you can try to find something it can eat, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Just hang on and survive starvation.
But the Frost Giant, the old Xie family did not intend to receive it.
It is true that the Frost Giants can fight. After finding the enhancement function of the Frozen Treasure Box, they can also create stronger Frost Giants.
But first of all, the control of the scepter is unreliable. As the saying goes, fighting is inevitable, and the control that can be lifted by hitting the head is meaningless.
Second, the way of brainwashing, because of Bucky's experience, the old Xie family didn't like it.
What's more, what the old Xie family lacks is not someone who can fight, but someone who can be a spy, just the size of a frost giant. Does being a spy want to challenge his weakness?
So after doing some calculations, I found that apart from being able to fight, the Frost Giant has no special strengths. The three old men are out to prowl, and they don't bother to spend time and energy doing ideological work.
However, the group still stayed for more than a day. It was one thing to let the children have fun and enjoy the summer vacation, and the other was to experiment with the functional operation of the ice treasure box.
The result is really not difficult, it's a fool's operation. It has to be admitted that in the glorious period of Jotunheim, the casting process on the magic side is still very strong.
During the test period, Jotunheim had a few more magnificent buildings. It was a crystal clear ice and snow castle, and it was a children's paradise version.
It is said that the function of frost shaping can only be mastered after hard work, but there is one thing, Xie Zhi has rich experience in this area, not only the experience of constructing the world in dreams, but also the realization of will energy belongs to reality practice.
Therefore, it was easy for Xie Zhi to control the cold current and forge the castle.
But the functional development of the ice treasure box gave Xie Zhi an idea...
