Chapter 173 Rune Two Stage Evolution
Secret Realm.
Research room.
"A three-centimeter straight line is connected here, and then a 67-degree round corner turns..."
While comparing the runes, Bai Qi directed Alpha to restore the runes on the general figurine bit by bit, his eyes full of solemnity.
Originally, he wanted to finish the restoration of the general figurines by himself, but he still underestimated the hardness of the bronze body of the general figurines.
Even though his current physical fitness is far superior to that of a normal adult, and with the help of the rune pen in the Tower of Gratitude, he still cannot leave marks on the general figurines, and in the end he can only ask Alpha to do the work.
And Bai Qi had to admit that Alpha was indeed more skilled in engraving runes than him. At least he had been repairing here for more than two hours, and he didn't see Alpha make any mistakes, not even the slightest vibration.
I feel that my usefulness is getting less and less.
Soon, Alpha repaired the last rune on the general figurine, and the computer on the side also released the complete rune structure on the general figurine in due course.
"So that's the case, using the slave contract as a framework, filling in various manipulation runes to form a complete system, this is simply a primitive version of the mechanical manipulation system."
Bai Qi studied it carefully for a while, and immediately understood.
Mechanisms, puppets, and terracotta warriors seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are all products cast by humans to fight against fierce beasts.
It can be said that these three things represent the different technological levels of the three ages of mankind.
As for who is better and who is worse, Bai Qi is not in a position to make an evaluation for the time being.
After all, the functions of these creations are different in different era backgrounds.
"However, the terracotta warriors can be activated with just a few runes and without even an energy system. The ancestors of the Shidi period are really amazing. Or is there something I haven't discovered?"
Bai Qi looked thoughtfully at the terracotta general who remained silent even though the runes had been repaired.
He has already tested it with instruments just now. There is no energy in the body of the general figurines. The whole body is poured with a metal similar to bronze. If it is not because of the runes on the surface, it is not much different from the statues in the museum.
"It's no wonder that the terracotta warriors are so powerful but have not been handed down. The unknown energy system and the rune system that requires a high degree of integrity are indeed not as convenient as the rune puppets that were modularly built during the Emperor's period."
Bai Qi shook his head regretfully, but after seeing Alpha beside him, he suddenly thought of something.
"Alpha, go and call the ice bones, no, all the skeleton soldiers in the secret realm."
Alpha nodded, and an invisible mental wave immediately spread out. Not long after, six skeletons with different breaths appeared in the laboratory.
Ice Bone, Steel Skull, Fire Claw, Hidden Spike, Poison Breath, Rock Armor.
These are the products of Bai Qi's research on the evolution of runes. Before that, they were left in the secret realm to build a base. Now that the base is built, they have been left idle here.
Bai Qi looked at the six skeletons for a while, and then let the steel skulls come out and let them lie beside the general figurines.
Looking at the steel skull, which was about the same shape as a general figurine, a gleam flashed in Bai Qi's eyes, and he immediately operated the instrument to construct a holographic projection of the steel skull.
Afterwards, Bai Qi dragged and dragged the rune projection extracted from the general figurine, and transferred it to the steel frame bit by bit, and then painted and altered it. Soon, a structure was similar but the interior had been replaced by Bai Qi. The new rune structure appeared in front of Bai Qi.
"Alpha, carve the steel skull like this, remember not to interrupt as much as possible."
Gala Gala.
(OK.)
Alpha nodded. After carefully observing the rune structure constructed by Bai Qixin, he immediately began to operate on the steel skull.
Because he had already done a round of repairs by himself, Alpha's outline was very smooth this time, and the complete rune structure was carved very quickly.
Bai Qi checked it carefully, and after confirming that there was no deviation, he said to Alpha: "Let it run the energy for a while."
Alpha nodded, and conveyed Bai Qi's meaning to Gangkuan. A black light flashed on the surface of Gangkuan immediately, covering his whole body.
"That's it?"
Seeing that the steel skull didn't change at all, Bai Qi couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Thought there would be some changes, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.
"Forget it, it can be regarded as a verification that it is feasible to expand a simple rune into a larger architecture."
Bai Qi shrugged, and was about to let Gangkuan leave, when he saw the pattern on Gangkuan's forehead, he suddenly thought of something.
"Alpha, try injecting spiritual power here."
Alpha nodded, pressed his palm on the forehead of the steel skull, and carefully injected a ray of spiritual power into it.
In an instant, the runes on Steel Skull's forehead lit up, and quickly spread to the whole body, and when these bright lights finally converged on the "tempered" runes on Steel Skull's spine, Steel Skull was immediately shrouded in dazzling light. stand up.
Light of Evolution? !
Seeing the light appearing on Steel Skull, Bai Qi was suddenly ecstatic.
Sure enough, the rune structure on the general figurines is based on the slave contract, and this contract obviously involves the soul, so it is reasonable to use spiritual power to stimulate it.
But it is surprising that the Steel Skull can evolve again.
In Bai Qi's expectant eyes, the light of evolution on Steel Skull finally disappeared, revealing a taller metal figure.
Compared with the previous skeleton, Steel Skull's body is basically covered with metal, and even the limbs are covered with a layer of metal muscles. If the skull is not still preserved, it is difficult to compare it with the previous skeleton. get in touch.
【Name】:? ? ?
[Attributes]: Steel, Undead
[Bloodline level]: low elite
There is no race name, this is another new evolutionary type?
Bai Qi laughed when he saw this. He didn't expect to find a new evolutionary type, and he also directly crossed from a medium servant to an elite. This is simply an accident within an accident.
But the most important thing is, he seems to have found the second evolution method of rune evolution?
Gala Gala.
(Boss, I feel weird.)
Just when Bai Qi was about to study the new evolution of Steel Skull, Alpha suddenly sent a message.
"strange?"
Bai Qi's face immediately changed when he heard the words. Luo Xiang said before that this kind of slave contract is easy to cause backlash, and ordinary humans can't bear it, so Bai Qi let Alpha come.
Now that it’s like this, could it be that Alpha has also been backlashed?
Even Tier 3 creatures can’t stand it, what kind of monsters are those ancient beast masters!
"Tell me what happened, is the soul damaged?"
The soul is the core of the undead system. As long as the fire of the soul is not extinguished, other injuries will not matter. If the soul is injured because of an experiment, it will really be a big loss.
Gala Gala.
(That’s not true, on the contrary, my soul seems to be a little stronger, but I feel like I can directly control the steel skull.)
"It's fine if you don't get injured, but what does it mean to control the steel skull? Didn't you originally..."
Bai Qi heaved a sigh of relief. He suddenly realized something in the middle of speaking, and immediately searched for Alpha, and soon found a pattern similar to the contract spell pattern on Alpha's palm.
Alpha gave the steel skull to the contract?
The beast contracted the beast?
Bai Qi stared dumbfounded at the curse pattern in Alpha's hand, and then at the obedient Steel Skull standing beside Alpha. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Bai Qicai slowly digested what he had just discovered, and asked Alpha to issue a series of instructions to Steel Skull, which Steel Skull followed.
Of course, Alpha was able to do these things before. After all, the lord has an unconditional suppression effect on the servants, but obviously, it is more comfortable now.
But Bai Qi is more concerned about whether the relationship between Steel Skull and Alpha can have the same impact on his growth as the relationship between Alpha and himself.
"Alpha, you just said that your soul has become a little stronger, are you sure?"
Alpha tilted his head, thought about it carefully, and nodded.
(I'm sure, it seems that some extra soul energy is just out of thin air, and I seem to be able to actively absorb energy from the steel skull.)
Actively absorbing energy, why does it sound a bit like the effect of a fierce beast angering a beast soul master?
That's right, the first emperor's slave contract was learned from the beast, and it's normal to have this effect.
"So, I have found a crush for Alpha?"
Thinking that he had acted like a beast, Bai Qi couldn't help laughing, and then turned his attention to the remaining skeletons.
"It's all squeezed anyway, so let's get a few more."
…
Boom boom boom...
Feng Ye knocked on Bai Qi's door for a long time, but still failed to get a reply. Seeing Chun Yushui walking by, he couldn't help asking, "Uncle Chun, have you seen Bai Qi?"
Chun Yushui shrugged and said, "I saw him enter the room this morning and never come out. He must be doing some research."
For people like them who have been studying secret realms all year round, it is normal for them to stay up for a few days and nights in research, so Chun Yushui didn't care at all.
"Yes, he seems to have said that he wants to study ancient runes."
Feng Ye nodded and was about to leave when Bai Qi's door suddenly opened.
"Hey, Bai Qi, you... um, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Bai Qi, who was in a state of distress, covered in scorching, freezing and other messy marks, Feng Ye was a little dazed.
Bai Qi's room was invaded by fierce beasts, how could it be like this?
Bai Qi scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Ahem, it's okay, it's just that something happened to the experiment."
"Experiment? What kind of experiment can be done like this? Did you fight with your pet beast?"
Feng Ye couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, but saw that Bai Qi really nodded.
"Strictly speaking, it counts..."
I was almost beaten to death because I was testing whether the skeletons contracted by Alpha had the consciousness of protecting the Lord. This should be considered a fight with pet beasts...
