Chapter 249: Aggregation (Fourth update, monthly ticket bonus)
The grassland escape began. Xiang Bubu ran desperately in front, while a large black flock of birds chased closely behind.
The sounds made by these blue small birds were very harsh. The sounds of thousands of them gathering together made Su Xiao feel harsh.
Although Xiang Bubu was a bit of an idiot, it ran extremely fast. It could truly be said to run as fast as a dog. Even if those blue small birds flew in the sky, they still weren't as fast as Xiang Bubu running on the ground.
After ten minutes of escape, those blue small birds were nowhere to be seen. Su Xiao let Xiang Bubu stop.
A not-so-small water pool appeared in front, the water sparkling and clear to the bottom.
Although the pool water was clear, Su Xiao wouldn't touch that pool water. He felt full of malice in the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground'.
Any creature in this place wanted to destroy him, and all outsiders were enemies.
Throwing the Little Emperor on the ground, Su Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Hey, wake up."
Kicking the Little Emperor, the Little Emperor had no reaction as if he were dead.
"Xiang Bubu, wake him up."
Xiang Bubu ran happily to the Little Emperor's side, bit the Little Emperor's leg, and shook its head left and right. The Little Emperor was swung around like a doll.
"Ah!!"
A terrified scream came, and Xiang Bubu threw the Little Emperor on the ground.
"Ugh~."
After a burst of retching, the Little Emperor was full of anger.
"You..."
The Little Emperor's words had just come out when he closed his mouth. He saw Su Xiao with a full smile.
"Any opinion?"
"No, none."
"Which direction to walk next?"
Now he could only rely on the Little Emperor's intuition to distinguish the direction. The area of the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground' was too large.
"Hmm~, that way."
The Little Emperor pointed to the left.
*Whoosh. *
"What sound?"
The Little Emperor looked around.
Su Xiao also heard this strange sound, like the sound of flowing water. He subconsciously looked at the water pool.
After seeing the situation inside the water pool, Su Xiao was shocked. That wasn't any pool water at all, just a large pit, and the pool water inside was a transparent creature, very similar to insects.
Countless transparent insects crawled out of the large pit, just like a stream of water that could move freely.
Su Xiao jumped directly onto Xiang Bubu's back and skillfully grabbed the Little Emperor.
Continuing the escape, he didn't have any thoughts of fighting those transparent insects; there were too many of them.
Discovering that Su Xiao wanted to escape, those transparent insects rioted and quickly gathered together.
Xiang Bubu began to run wildly. Su Xiao turned to look in the direction of the water pool, his eyelids twitching.
A transparent giant snake more than ten meters thick and over a hundred meters long appeared. This was composed of countless small individuals.
The transparent giant snake was very fast, its body twisting, swimming quickly on the grass.
*Zi zi zi~. *
Wherever the transparent giant snake passed, the emerald green grassland turned scorched black, and a pungent, foul smell spread far away.
The transparent giant snake kept moving forward in a straight line, not dodging obstacles like trees, but crashing directly into them.
There was no sound of collision. The transparent giant snake wrapped the trees in its body like a stream of water.
The wrapped trees were decomposed in an instant, and after a few seconds, not even a residue remained.
Wherever the transparent giant snake passed, whether trees or stones, everything vanished.
This thing had strong corrosiveness, but those trees weren't corroded, but eaten, eaten clean in a short time by countless transparent small insects.
Su Xiao took out 【Havana's Eye】. He prepared to check the data of the transparent giant snake. This could let him understand the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground' better.
【Havana's Eye】 floated in mid-air to test the transparent giant snake.
【Comparing intelligence attributes of both sides... Comparison complete. My intelligence attribute is 12 times that of the enemy, and I will obtain 100% of the enemy's data.】
Data as follows:
Name: Aggregation Insect
Type: Alchemy Creature (Semi-finished product)
Health: 100%.
Mana: 20
Strength: 5
Agility: 20
Stamina:???
Intelligence: 2
Charisma: -5
Skill 1: Aggregation (Activated): The Aggregation Insect is composed of 170,000 individual units. After these creatures aggregate, their consciousness will be unified.
Skill 2: Evil of Corrosion (Passive): Corrode any creatures, objects, etc., inside the body, causing 90 points of damage to creatures inside the body per second.
Skill 3: Ten Thousand Insect Bite (Passive): Bite any creatures, objects, etc., inside the body, causing 50 points of damage to creatures inside the body per second.
Skill 4: Secondary Immortality (Passive): Each individual unit of the Aggregation Insect has the ability to split. Unless all 170,000 individual units are eliminated, the Aggregation Insect will recover to its original quantity within one month.
After reading the attributes of the Aggregation Insect, Su Xiao had a sentence "MMP" he must say. The possibility of this thing being eliminated wasn't high, at least he didn't have that kind of ability.
Even if Esdeath came, her ice-type ability couldn't completely eliminate the Aggregation Insect. It was composed of 170,000 individual units, and the individual units could split and recover...
The best strategy was to escape, escape as far as possible.
The Aggregation Insect lost interest after chasing Su Xiao for a while and turned its body to return in the direction of the large pit before.
Su Xiao didn't stop, still staying away from the Aggregation Insect was safer.
Su Xiao wanted to leave the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground' as soon as possible. From the two creatures encountered at the beginning, it could be seen that the creatures in this place were much stronger than him.
But now the future was uncertain, and even the direction was based on the Little Emperor's intuition.
Su Xiao had tried to judge the direction with a universal compass before, but that thing spun faster than an electric fan.
Walking forward for more than ten minutes, a stone tablet several meters high appeared in front. The stone tablet was engraved with words, but Su Xiao couldn't understand a single word on it.
"Visitors... not imperial family... forbidden land."
The Little Emperor tried to identify it, but after looking for a long time, he only recognized a few words.
"What is written on it?"
"Just these few that I recognized. I can't identify the others. I learned this kind of writing when I was very young. After so many years, my memory is very blurry."
The Little Emperor shrugged.
Su Xiao jumped off Xiang Bubu's back.
"Xiang Bubu, tear him apart."
A cold smile appeared on Su Xiao's mouth. The Little Emperor's lie was too naive.
Xiang Bubu rushed toward the Little Emperor, eyes fixed on the Little Emperor's throat.
"Wait, I saved your life. I'll say, I'll say."
The Little Emperor surrendered.
Su Xiao lit a cigarette.
"First, you weren't saving me before, you were saving your own life. Second, if I don't take you away, the Prime Minister and Esdeath will execute you. Third, you are now captured by me. Point out the route to leave here, and I'll let you go.
Do you understand the situation now? If not, I'll let Xiang Bubu remind you."
Xiang Bubu circled around the Little Emperor, seemingly thinking about where to bite.
"I understand."
The Little Emperor recognized the situation.
"What is written on it?"
"Hmm~, let me look carefully."
The Little Emperor began to read carefully.
"This place is called the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground', which was once the Empire's alchemy testing ground. Many alchemists worked here, manufacturing alchemy creatures and items. Only members of the imperial family and alchemists can freely enter and exit here. The current location is the outer layer. Walking east is the interior.
Eh~."
The Little Emperor looked at the stone tablet in surprise.
"What?"
"There is an exit here, an emergency exit leading to the outskirts of the Imperial Capital. You need to keep walking east, pass through the central area of the 'Pilumark Alchemy Testing Ground', and then you can reach the exit. That's all."
Su Xiao's hanging heart was relieved. He was afraid that this was a dead end and he would be trapped here to death.
If that were the case, Su Xiao could only return the same way. Rather than waiting for death, it was better to return to the Imperial Palace and fight the army.
Now the only good news was that there was an exit here, and the bad news was that the outskirts were so dangerous, how terrifying would the center be?
I have something to go out this afternoon, so the update will be earlier. ===== CHAPTER 250 =====
