Chapter 618: Dragon Soldiers and Insect Guards
"It's not plundering vitality, it's just extracting the natural power inside. It has the same effect as this dragon's Emerald Breath."
Nicholas shook his head and looked at Cordyceps with more affection.
Although the appearance is slightly different, Cordyceps's ability is getting closer and closer to the Green Dragon, which makes Nicholas very happy.
"Similar to the Emerald Breath, which means it can also give life?"
Bai Qi suddenly realized what was going on and passed a new instruction to Chongcao. Chongcao understood immediately and the temperature of the sun above his head suddenly changed and became warm in an instant.
At the same time, the plants that had died due to deprivation of vitality gradually recovered their vitality after being exposed to the green sunlight.
"Not bad. It has the effects of the Great Sun Force Field and Emerald Breath, and can also force people into a dream. This AOE effect is perfect!"
Bai Qi gave Cordyceps a thumbs up. Putting aside Cordyceps's current huge size, Cang Ri alone was already intimidating enough.
"Since Cang Ri is the effect of the awakening potion, then this dragon soldier insect guard should rely on the ability gained from the molting of the immortal insect, right?"
Bai Qi transferred his mental power to the dragon soldiers and insect guards, and relevant data immediately appeared in his mind.
[Skill Name]: Dragon Soldier Insect Guard
[Skill Level]: Extraordinary
[Skill Effect]: Inject the insect eggs that combine the genetic essence of the dragon and insect races into the body of the parasite. The insect eggs will transform the parasite into a form that is both an insect and a dragon.
Note: Quantity 0/9
…
"Transformed parasite... Insect-dragon integration..."
Bai Qi smacked his lips and looked at the Cordyceps in front of him that had been transformed. His expression suddenly became strange.
It seems that he has achieved the goal of becoming the first dean of Cangzhe College?
"Epsilon, do you feel any difference between you now and before?"
Bai Qi asked at the top of his voice.
"Difference? In addition to becoming a little stronger, I feel like I have given birth to two completely independent sets of body organs and tissues. Is this a difference?"
Chongcao sensed it carefully and replied.
"Two sets? Didn't you originally have two sets?"
Bai Qi was a little confused, and Shuke turned on the scanning system at the right time and scanned the body structure of Cordyceps.
"Two brains, two hearts, two... two of everything?"
Bai Qi was a little surprised when he saw this. The two systems of Cordyceps came from the Soul-Eating Bug and the Dream Vine respectively, one plant and the other insect.
After evolving into the Sun Dragon Cicada, although the two control centers were fused together, it retained two sets, so it could fight while sleeping like before.
But now, Cordyceps actually has two sets of complete organs, including the brain, and they are like twin flowers on a single stem, independent but entangled with each other.
"What is this? Husky is three souls in one body, and Epsilon is one soul with two bodies?"
Bai Qi scratched his head, looking at his pet and its alien-like body structure, and suddenly the scene of Cordyceps sinensis madly curling up appeared in his mind.
Two sets of organs, one for the day and one for the night. Twenty-four hours of crazy internal competition, the boss of 007 is ecstatic!
"That's off topic. How do you use the dragon soldier insect guard of Cordyceps? Where are the insect eggs?"
Bai Qi shook his head, stopped thinking about those weird things, and returned to the main topic.
"It should be here, right?"
Cordyceps shook his dragon tail, but almost hit Nicholas. It was obvious that he was not used to it.
Cordyceps was very happy to suddenly transform from a small insect into a giant dragon, but it still needed some time to adapt.
"Is it injected through the tail needle? It really feels like an alien."
Bai Qi shuddered. Fortunately, there is an upper limit to the number of dragon soldiers and insect guards. Otherwise, Bai Qi doubted whether Cordyceps would one day become a being like the Alien Queen.
By then, things might develop in a direction that he cannot control.
First there was the Undead Scourge, and then there was the Zerg invasion. He always felt that the direction of his pet's evolution was a little dangerous.
Soon, Cordyceps adapted to the changes in its own body and summoned its parasitic beasts to its front.
"Let me think about it, it seems to be operated like this..."
Chongcao thought for a moment, then inserted the long and thin tail needle into the body of the first parasitic beast of Chongcao, the Air-Splitting War Bear.
“Is this the end ?”
Bai Qi was stunned when he saw that Cordyceps had directly retracted its tail needle.
This movement is a little too small.
However, before the Cordyceps could recover, huge changes suddenly occurred on the Sky-Splitting War Bear's body.
All the dense fur fell off, replaced by chitinous carapace and dragon scales, and even grew a pair of broad insect wings.
Immediately afterwards, the head of the Air-Splitting War Bear was also burst by a huge head, which looked like a worm or a dragon, and its sharp mouthparts made people feel scared.
As for the strong limbs, they were replaced by sharp insect limbs, and even another pair extended from the abdomen.
When the transformation of the Air-Splitting War Bear was completely completed, what appeared in front of Bai Qi and others was a brand new creature that was both an insect and a dragon.
"My goodness, are you sure this skill isn't called Strong Armor?"
Bai Qi looked at the insect guard in front of him in surprise and said, "This thing has nothing to do with the Sky-Splitting War Bear, right?"
“It’s still somewhat related.”
Chongcao shook his head and sent an order to the Pikong War Bear, and the Pikong War Bear's body surface immediately turned into metal.
"Can I use the Tempering skill now?"
Bai Qi was stunned when he saw this. Cordyceps' parasitic pets cannot use skills, so he specifically asked Cordyceps to choose fighting-type pets to better unleash their combat power.
But now, it seems that this insect guard can use attribute skills?
"That's right. After I transform them into insect guards, their body structures will be transformed based on their original bodies. After the transformation, I will be able to control them to use their attribute skills."
Chongcao nodded, and suddenly sighed with some regret, saying: "It's a pity that these insect guards still have no souls. They just obey my orders unconditionally."
"There's no rush for the soul. Aren't you researching virtual souls? You can just inject it in some other day."
Bai Qi waved his hand and looked at the insect guard in front of him who had a dull look in his eyes but was guarding the Cordyceps tightly, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Now that I can use attribute skills, I can't just choose the remaining insect guards casually."
"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness, you have to give him a set no matter what!"
"Is it really possible, Chief?"
Chongcao was a little excited when he heard this. Finally, his little brother was not so stupid anymore. At least he could compare with the Seven Sword Dragon Riders and the Twelve Zodiac Guardian Beasts.
"Of course."
Bai Qi nodded, looked at the other parasitic beasts of Cordyceps, and said: "Except for these ones with their own attributes, there is no need to parasitize the others. Release the control."
"I understand."
The insect guard nodded repeatedly, immediately ended the parasitic relationship with those pets, and then began a new round of parasitism and transformation.
Click, click, click…
(Everyone has subordinates, Gamma wants one too...)
Looking at Cordyceps who was busy and happy, Gamma suddenly expressed some envy.
"Gama, you want a little brother too?"
Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He didn't expect that his pet would develop a competitive mentality in this regard.
But think about it, now Alpha, Husky, and Cordyceps all have attendants, it would be a lie to say that the other pets have no reaction.
Snoring!
(That Jetta wants it too!)
Seeing Gama speak, Jetta also made his own request.
"Gamma, you have the skill of splitting, so you don't need a younger brother. At most, you can pay attention to whether you can upgrade the skill of splitting. The intermediate splitting is indeed a bit lacking."
Bai Qi patted Gama's head, then looked at Jetta and said, "As for you, Jetta, there is no need to do that. Otherwise, I am worried that your little brother will be beaten to death by you."
After hearing this, the two pets suddenly understood and stopped worrying about it.
"Delta, why don't you have any objections? Do n't you want a servant?"
After comforting Gamma and Jetta, Bai Qi looked at Delta, who was calm, with confusion and asked.
Bloopers.
(Delta himself is not strong enough, so he won't be distracted.)
Delta shook his head. Although he also wanted to recruit some younger brothers, both time and space abilities took up a lot of his time.
Therefore, instead of spending energy on training servants, it is better to concentrate on developing your own bloodline and gaining stronger combat power.
"Yes, your power of time and space will be more effective."
Bai Qi nodded slightly, stopped worrying about these things, and started to check the Cordyceps in front of him again.
After the evolution, Cordyceps has reached a length of 20 meters, and is about 10 meters when standing still. It is not much smaller than Nicholas, and has firmly established itself as the largest creature in the team.
"It seems like there will be one more mount to choose from when I go out."
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction. He was quite obsessed with mounts at first, but he gradually gave up the obsession after he got Delta, an all-round mount.
Unexpectedly, he now has two mounts, and they are an Eastern divine dragon and a Western giant dragon. This mount configuration is truly luxurious.
"From now on, I will ride Epsilon when I go out, and shrink Delta to hide on my body. Mom won't have to worry about me going out anymore."
Bai Qi quickly outlined his future travel method and was about to go see the other insect guards transformed from Cordyceps sinensis, but he saw Alpha suddenly return to the secret realm.
"Why did you take so long to come back? Has Guan Qing's strength improved a lot?"
Bai Qi looked at the time and asked.
Crunch.
(The improvement is indeed significant, but the combat level is not much improved.)
"Then why did you come back only now?"
Crunch.
(His moonlight attribute seemed to have a certain restraining effect on the power of death, so he fought a few more games.)
Alpha seemed to be a little unsatisfied, and the long sword behind him trembled unconsciously.
"Can it restrain the power of death? Yes, the sun and the moon are also stars, so it's not surprising ."
Bai Qi instantly figured out the reason and became interested in the properties of moonlight.
Otherwise, talk to Guan Qing and try cutting a piece of bark from the Guardian of the Moon, just in case you can also gain the moonlight attribute.
