Chapter 589 Emerging from the cocoon and becoming a butterfly
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry... Brother Snake, don’t worry, I will leave now, and I will never dare to set foot on your territory again..."
Under the fierce gaze of the snake, the mirage tapir apologized repeatedly with a trembling voice. After saying this, it quickly closed its trunk and tried to retreat from the bottom of the lake.
As soon as he started to move, he was frightened into silence by a scolding snake.
“Stop, my uncle’s territory is yours to come and leave whenever you want, isn’t it?”
Mirage Tapir was about to cry without tears: "Brother, I really didn't mean it. I promise I will never dare to do it again..."
“Haha, I’m in a good mood today. I’ll keep this trunk of yours as a tribute to me. I can forget about it.” Gu Snake said lazily.
“Ah, this…”
Mirage Tapir was shocked when he heard this. He wanted to refute, but he didn't dare to say it directly. After struggling for a few seconds, he cautiously said: "Brother Snake, this is my meal guy. Can you leave a little less...one-third of it?" One? How?"
"Are you teaching me how to do something?" Gu She immediately squinted his eyes and looked over, and his cold aura erupted again: "Tell me about terms with Gu She, do you have the strength?"
The mirage tapir on the opposite side suddenly started to tremble with fear: "No...Brother Snake, I am not, I don't dare...I just..."
“Leave your nose and get out!” Ju She shouted.
The mirage shuddered and did not dare to say anything more. The entire elephant trunk was quietly disconnected from the lake and fell to the ground. The body of the mirage tapir below quickly retreated to the bottom of the lake and disappeared.
At the same time, the surrounding mirages, as well as the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the mirage, began to retract to the other side of the teleportation point at the bottom of the lake at a speed visible to the naked eye, disappearing without a trace.
The scene quickly became quiet. The herb collector looked around and made sure that the mirage had completely dissipated. Then he took out the stone plate and carved the symbol of termination on it.
At this time, a huge snake-headed shadow appeared quietly above the watchman's head, and quickly extended, forming an extremely huge long snake shadow in the air.
The next second, the long snake opened its huge mouth, bit the end of the broken elephant trunk, and began to swallow it piece by piece.
…
"it is finally over!"
At the bottom of the dark cave, Linglong looked at the circular words that appeared on the stone plate and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she was ready to immediately put down the holy spear and seal the snake again.
“Wait, wait a minute!” In the barrier, Mu You suddenly called out.
"Ah?" Linglong looked at Mu You strangely. She originally thought that sealing the snake was a matter of seconds, so why did she take the initiative to ask for an extension of time?
Within the barrier, Mu You was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Sweat was already appearing on his forehead at this moment. It was obvious that he was not as relaxed as he looked on the surface.
The reason why Linglong was stopped was just to wait for Ava's progress.
“Data parsing…97%…98%…99%…”
“100%! Data collection completed!”
ˆAva’s prompt sounded.
Mu You then opened his eyes with difficulty and nodded towards Linglong.
Linglong understood immediately and stopped using her arms.
As soon as the force was withdrawn, the holy spear immediately began to fall.
Ju She seemed to have a premonition of what was about to happen, and struggled even more fiercely at this time, but unfortunately was always suppressed by Mu You.
The short distance of a hundred meters was reached in an instant while falling.
A few seconds later, with a loud bang, the tip of the spear accurately pierced the middle of the snake's body, passed through without any hindrance, and was firmly nailed to the ground along with the snake's body.
“Woo…”
The entire underground cave suddenly resounded with a snake's wail, filled with incomparable anger and unwillingness.
Because the preparation time this time was long enough, the seal was even more perfect than the last time. After the holy spear returned to its position, the restless snake instantly calmed down, and the snake's pupils in the sky also flickered for a few times. Forced to close up due to exhaustion, he fell into silence.
…
The clock watcher looked at the clean mirage that disappeared in the blink of an eye, and was still a little unresponsive.
“Xiaoba, can’t you see that you are so fierce?”
He guessed that the snake had the ability to suppress the mirage tapir, but he did not expect that the mirage tapir was so afraid of the snake that it did not dare to resist even asking for its entire nose...
"What nonsense are you talking about!" At this time, the snake had just swallowed all the elephant trunks, licked the snake's mouth, and snorted proudly after hearing this.
“By the way, doesn’t the mirage tapir rely on its nose to release its mirage? You really just swallowed someone’s nose in one bite, is that okay?” The watchman was a little strange. He can understand Ju She's strength. This is often the case. The more domineering you are, the less the other party dares to doubt you.
It’s just that he doesn’t quite understand why the mirage would agree to such an excessive request. After all, both sides are creatures of the same level, so they gave the meal to the other party so easily?
"Don't worry, natural disaster beasts are all incarnations of illusions. The so-called body parts are actually the concentration of energy. Eating its nose is just equivalent to robbing part of its energy. It will go back to cultivate for a while and find a place with many creatures to absorb it. After a few hundred years of dreaming, the nose will grow back.”
The snake said nonchalantly and burped, but what came out of the snake's head was a mirage.
The surroundings suddenly became shrouded in mist again.
At this moment, Gushe suddenly felt something and frowned.
“Tsk, you are lucky this time…”
After saying that, the phantom with the snake in the sky quickly shrank, returned to the watchman's body, and disappeared.
The watchman took over the body and hurriedly looked inside the sea of consciousness.
At this moment, the snake has settled down in the world of the sea of consciousness. The snake's head is buried in the body, and it seems to be ready to rest. After noticing his gaze, it said coldly: "This snake needs to cultivate for a while, so don't bother me recently!"
"Okay, you are the hero this time, I will listen to you." The watchman smiled. This time Gu She's performance really impressed him. He had never expected that Gu She was in such a strong position among the four major natural disasters.
…
In the dark cave, Mu You didn't walk out of the barrier until he confirmed that the seal was completed. As soon as he landed, he felt his steps were sluggish. He sat down against the edge of the barrier and realized that his back was completely soaked.
“It’s a bit of a risk, but the rewards are worth it…”
Mu You smiled, came back to his senses, and called Ava in his heart.
"How about it? Can the collected data be used?" "Most of the snake's fear is released by the snake's own ability. We cannot reproduce this part, but the way the snake uses the fear energy may be You can try to restore it." Ava's voice sounded.
“How to restore it?” Mu You asked hurriedly.
"This part of the information is a very sophisticated data structure. I'm afraid living things cannot understand it. Even if it can understand it, it will be difficult to use it. However, it can be imported into a powerful enough mechanical body and let the mechanical body run this part of the data. There should be a chance to restore it. A very small part of the snake essence comes out...just like this."
As Ava said, Mu You suddenly felt a large amount of energy being extracted from his body, and then a cold aura was released from the chameleon helmet, instantly covering the surrounding area for several miles.
Linglong, who was enveloped in the aura, shivered instinctively, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably: "No, come again?"
She subconsciously looked back at Gu Snake, only to find that Gu Snake had not opened her eyes at this time. The source of this fear was not the direction of Gu Snake, but...
Linglong looked at Mu You in surprise: "Body, what did you do?"
Mu You nodded. When his aura appeared just now, information had already appeared in his omniscient crystal.
[Fear aura: A halo that simulates the behavior of a snake, making surrounding creatures other than you feel viscerally afraid of you. Depending on the creature's resistance to 'fear', it reduces God's power, attack speed, Movement speed, low intelligence creatures have a chance to escape directly. 】
“It’s not bad.”
Mu You’s eyes lit up after reading this. Although the effect of this halo is not even one ten thousandth of that of the snake itself, it is the product of a natural disaster beast after all, and its effect is still outstanding against some ordinary creatures.
The most important thing is that this is a real skill that can be realized in the world of high heaven. The effect is equivalent to a large-scale divine spell, but it consumes magic power!
And the magic power, after being injected with the vaccine, is basically in an inexhaustible state. In other words, this aura can even be turned on all the time in the future and used as a passive skill.
“Are you okay?”
While Mu You was testing the new halo, a familiar voice sounded in the darkness high in the sky.
Then Gargamel's figure appeared in the bright light in the distance, slid down the rope ladder to the bottom of the cliff, and walked towards the two of them.
“It’s okay, although there are some twists and turns, it’s settled.”
Mu You shook his head and stood up, looking at Gargamel: "Where are you?"
Gargamel took out a palm-sized small potted plant from the package beside him. In the potted plant was a brightly colored flower bud, and the entire potted plant was wrapped in a transparent film.
"This is a bitter flower broken from the bitter mother tree. The little fairy is inside. It should be over soon."
Gargamel said, reaching out and tearing off the film on the surface of the potted plant.
The flowers in the pots were directly exposed to the air, and they withered quickly. The petals withered and fell, and the things hidden in the heart of the flowers were gradually revealed.
I saw a small person sitting in it with his knees in his arms. He was wearing a sky blue petal dress and was surrounded by a transparent caterpillar shell. He looked like a sleeping beauty sleeping in a sleeping bag. .
At a certain moment, the outer shell of the caterpillar dried up and cracked inch by inch, turning into pieces of dust and peeling off, and the little man inside finally opened his eyes at this moment, like a flower fairy born in a flower, and yawned. , stretched out, climbed up from the debris, and looked around with pure eyes.
Its eyes quickly focused on Mu You, and it suddenly became excited. It stretched out its small arms forward, and there was a roar behind it, and it opened a pair of wings that were several times wider than other people.
The familiar sky-blue wings spread out, driving its body to fly like a butterfly, and landed precariously on Mu You's shoulders. With tears in the corners of her eyes, she hugged his collar and kept saying "chirp, chirp, chirp" as if A newly born baby bird is waiting for its mother's response.
“Xiao Lanlan!”
This cute little creature immediately captured the hearts of the two women present. Linglong rushed over in an instant and picked up the little creature on Mu You's shoulders.
"Xiao Lanlan, I miss you so much. Do you still remember me? Don't remember? It doesn't matter. I'm not some strange aunt. We two had the best relationship before!" Linglong held the little goblin in her hands and kissed her face. I started rubbing it and soon my face was covered with pollen.
The dazed little goblin turned over and over in her hands, and soon stars were shining in her eyes.
Gargamel next to him looked at Linglong with envy, but he still hurriedly reminded: "The newborn goblin is relatively fragile, so it's better not to torment her too much..."
“You heard me, don’t mess around!”
Mu You spoke up to stop Linglong's "idiotic" behavior, stretched out two fingers, and rescued the little goblin from Linglong's hands.
“Tch, you were obviously the closest to me before, but you forgot about me. This is unfair...” Linglong complained sourly.
Mu You ignored her and put the little goblin back on his shoulder.
The little goblin, who had been tossing a lot, relaxed when he felt Mu You's familiar aura, and hurriedly climbed into his collar, with only one head exposed, and continued to look at the outside world curiously.
“啾啾…啾啾…”
Listening to the constant chirping from the little goblin's mouth, Mu You looked at Gargamel and asked, "Can't it still speak?"
"Newborn goblins are just like human babies. They only retain some instincts and their memories are not clear yet. They need to be fed slowly. In about one to two years, their abilities and memories will be almost restored." Gargamel said.
“That’s good.” Mu You nodded.
The matter here was settled, and the three of them did not stay any longer. After confirming that there was no problem with the snake's seal, they left the Bitter Garden.
Gargamel returned to the academy, while Mu You returned directly to the earth.
“So, what is this?”
An hour later, Mu You, who had just returned to the pet store, looked at a small pink and white animal on the floor with a strange expression. He almost thought that some new species had been added to the store during the time he left.
This little thing is about the same size as a Coke, with a nose like an elephant, ears like a rhinoceros, feet like a tiger, and a body like a bear. The whole body is covered with pink and white stripes. The body is round and fat, and its stupid appearance looks like a pig. But the nose is much longer than that of a pig.
At this moment, this little pink pig is squeezing its nose all over the ground, making a pig-like snort in its throat, as if it is looking for food.
At the side, watchmen, herbal collectors, little girls, and even Coca-Cola were all watching curiously.
"This little thing has an unusual origin..." The watchman cleared his throat and quickly explained the origin of this thing.
It turned out that before, the snake had swallowed the trunk of the mirage tapir. After falling into silence, the watchman discovered that the snake was constantly exhaling mirage along with its breathing, and soon his world of consciousness was submerged. In the mirage.
After that, the snake that had just fallen asleep seemed to be awakened by the mirage around it. Looking at the surrounding clouds and mountains, it snorted displeased, and then all the mirage was discharged from the body of the waker, but it did not It didn't spread, but gathered together, and finally condensed into this little thing in front of you.
“So, this is the incarnation of the mirage tapir?” Mu You looked strange.
The watchman shook his head: "That's not the case. This little thing has no fighting power or any aggression. It should be just an energy creature transformed by the little energy left after the snake digested the elephant trunk. , similar to things like Thunder Spirit and Fire Spirit, because it comes from a mirage tapir, it automatically takes on the appearance of a tapir."
