Chapter 254 Tick Amber
In this night’s dark dream, Russell continued to experiment with how Paulie’s horn could pierce the dream and penetrate reality.
Finally, it was discovered that this pocket-sized horn was not omnipotent.
It can indeed penetrate reality, but it does not really appear in reality, but wanders between dreams and reality. It can stick to something that looks like amber, and then wander within the boundaries like a pocket unicorn.
But it can’t stick to non-magical objects, it can only stick to magical objects, and they have to be unconscious dead objects.
Fantasy beasts, knights, elf bugs, etc., these are self-aware life forms, and Paulie’s pocket unicorn is helpless.
For example, the black oil dragon egg carried by Russell, although it has not yet been developed, is still very young in mind, and cannot stick to it like a pocket unicorn.
But magic tools like gems and metals can stick successfully.
“Then this stone that looks like amber, is it amber? Amber worms should be self-aware living things, but when the amber worm is trapped in amber, it should not be self-aware… Forget it, it’s too convoluted. , It’s better to wait until dawn to find out naturally.”
“Gah.” Xiao Menglong was tired.
The dark dreams dissipated and the consciousness fell into darkness.
The next day before dawn, Russell got up without a valet, but Swan Castle assigned a valet to help him change clothes.
But Russell just asked the valet to hand over his clothes and put them on himself. After hurriedly washing up and going downstairs, he went to the Phantom Beast Camp.
“Russell.” Paulie’s voice sounded in her heart.
“I am coming.”
“It’s really a piece of amber.” Paulie pulled out an orange-yellow stone from under her body. “When I woke up in the morning, this stone was stuck to my horn. Apparently I brought it from outside. Back.”
“Cool!” Russell was overjoyed and took the stone. After a closer look, he knew that it was indeed a piece of amber.
The sword butterfly’s amber is the size of a fist, the thorn’s amber is only the size of a meatball, and this piece of amber is slightly larger than a meatball.
Through the light, you can see that there is some filth inside, but among the filth, there is a round bug like a spider. Its outline is clearly visible. It has eight legs, but it does not have the waist of a spider, but a round ball with a head and The bodies grow together.
“This thing looks a bit like a tick?” Russell quickly identified it.
The so-called ticks are ticks, which often bite and suck blood on livestock and even serfs. As a knight, when Russell was taking care of his war horses, he would often find some blood-sucking ticks, which could be removed with a drop of wax oil.
Recognizing what was wrapped in amber, Russell suddenly became excited: “I wonder what magical effect it will have if the tick turns into an amber worm!”
The plant-type thorn amber insect eggs are useless, but the insect-type sword butterfly amber insect has magical sword skills.
Russell is looking forward to the new amber worm, which is also an insect.
Without any extra movement, Russell cut his finger directly on the spot, squeezed out two drops of blood and dropped them on the amber.
Blood instantly penetrated into the amber.
A weak breath appeared in his mind, accompanied by a feeling of hunger and a slight desire for blood. However, these senses are not strong and will not affect Russell’s own senses.
He looked carefully at the amber in his hand and saw that the tick seemed to move slightly, and then quickly absorbed the surrounding filth.
It seemed that the filth was originally some kind of blood, wrapped in amber along with the ticks.
The tick drank up the dirty blood, and its body became visibly rounded. Then a click was heard, and the amber stone quickly shattered into powder, slid down between the fingers, and dissipated.
Only one tick, slightly larger than the thumbnail, was left, lying quietly in Russell’s hand.
Hunger, joy, closeness, desire for blood, many emotions emerged in Russell’s mind in an instant, all radiated by this tick.
The next second.
It suddenly bit Russell’s palm, feeling no pain, and then turned into a streak of blood and completely disappeared into the palm of his hand.
The M-shaped mark flickered, and around it, in addition to the thorn mark and the sword butterfly mark, there was another tick mark the size of a sesame seed crawling around. There is no doubt that this is another new member of the Youmeng family.
After a moment his eyes lit up.
The tick does not know how to use swordsmanship, but it has its own uniqueness. It can help Russell transform between Qi and blood.
In other words, when Russell’s fighting spirit is exhausted, he can use ticks to burn the blood essence and turn it into surging fighting spirit to fight again. When Russell is injured and bleeding, he can also use ticks to transform his fighting spirit to make up for the loss of blood.
“Cool, cool!” Russell laughed. Although the effect of energy and blood conversion is not as amazing as mastering swordsmanship, it is definitely very practical.
It can not only increase one’s lasting combat effectiveness, but also speed up the recovery of physical injuries.
But while he was happy, Russell also felt a little regretful: “Why is it the conversion of qi and blood, not the conversion of qi and fat? Being able to convert fat into fighting qi is a magical skill!”
Well, that’s greedy thinking.
Russell was already very satisfied with the ability of the tick amberworm to convert energy into blood, which was much more useful than a five-meter-long thorn whip.
“Paulie, I’m so happy today.” Russell smiled.
“whee.”
“By the way, your horn is more useful than you think.” Russell touched his chin, “Let me give it, or your new ability, a name… It can pierce Youmeng. , touch reality and bring back magical creations, then call them Dark Dream Tentacles, Dark Dream Tentacles.”
“Youmeng’s tentacles? But my horn is not a tentacle. It’s the tentacles that grow on the snail’s head.”
“Okay, since you’re not satisfied, then call it Dark Dream One Horn, You Meng One Horn.”
“I like that name, Russell.”
“Tsk tsk, having said that, you already have three special skills – Youmeng Walking, Youmeng Escape Technique and Youmeng Unicorn. No wonder the ice cream pulled you into the dark dreamland. You were born to be in tune with the ice cream, and your abilities are closely related.”
“Maybe, but this scary guy like Ice Cream seems to be very arrogant, and his attitude towards me is very flat.”
“It does that to everyone. It rarely looks at people.” Russell reassured.
……
Russell, who had gained a lot, declined Lord Quinton Sunflower’s offer to stay after breakfast, and left Swan Castle with the knights.
At some point, heavy snow fell in the sky again.
Although the Snow Giant Da has been repelled, the power of the Snow Demon that permeates the snowfield has not faded, and the Ice Age is still permeating the ice age firmly.
The road became muddy, but this did not affect Russell at all. After all, the unicorn Paulie had the power of wind and never fell to the ground.
But Eric suffered a lot. When the horse galloped, the mud splashed all over him.
Kevin, the golden and silver wolfdog who was carrying the baggage, also suffered. His originally shiny fur was wet and stuck together, like a drowned rat.
All the knights in the team were secretly envious of Russell, who had such a cool mount as the unicorn Baoli, who could run in mid-air like a leisurely stroll, without causing the slightest bit of embarrassment due to the muddy road.
Abrupt.
Suddenly, there was a rolling sound in the sky ahead. The sound seemed to come from a very far away place and arrived here after a long time.
Then formed a familiar roar: “Hum!”
“It’s the voice of the torrent dragon!” Russell pricked up his ears, wanting to listen again, but after the sound wave rolled over, it fell silent.
No one knows what this dragon roar means.
But there were solemn expressions on the faces of the knights, and everyone vaguely guessed that the Torrent Dragon must have taken something important from the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy as a reward for supporting the Shadow Flame Dragon.
