Chapter 366 The Flesh and Blood of the Mythical Snake
As the saying goes, laziness is the fundamental driving force of diligence.
After making the first nest.
In order to live a good life of eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, the giant whale began to hunt aliens more actively in the middle layer of the abyss, and carried out a variety of genetic enhancements on the Devil's claws.
In this process.
Because the life in the middle layer of the abyss is generally stronger than that in the shallow layer, as a large amount of biomass is swallowed by the giant whale.
The growth rate of the giant whale has also increased a lot.
In less than fifteen days, the length of the giant whale has exceeded 300 meters.
In the third life level, such a body size can be described as huge even in the template, especially the giant whale's round and plump body, which looks more visually impactful.
Just when the giant whale thought that life would go on like this.
A small accident happened.
...
"My lord, the war lizard tribe is willing to be loyal to you."
The giant whale opened his eyes lazily.
With the help of the faint light emitted from the submarine volcano, he looked at the little guy in front of him.
The troglodytes are a deep-sea race that looks similar to humans. Influenced by the special environment of the abyss, they are much taller than ordinary people, with sturdy bodies and full muscles, and look very powerful. Their arms are slender, and the connection between the palms and soles of the feet is webbed. They can swim with their limbs alternately, or walk upright in the deep sea with bent legs.
That means that if conditions permit, they can use weapons.
The head of the troglodytes is somewhat similar to that of a real lizard, round and small, with a wrinkled flesh protrusion from the forehead to the back of the neck, dark and shiny pupils, and a slender tail behind them.
When these guys are attacked, they can emit a foul odor and secrete a strong-smelling substance in their bodies.
Almost nothing can tolerate this smell. Some beasts with particularly sensitive sense of smell may even be suffocated alive after smelling this smell.
Although their means of attack are somewhat unacceptable.
However, according to the information given by Hai Qi, the troglodytes are considered a relatively powerful tribe in the abyss.
In the food chain pyramid, they should be considered as existences close to the middle layer. For example, the Devil Claws killed by the giant whale before, sometimes they will be hunted by the lizardmen and used as food.
Hmm, has someone finally discovered my charm... The giant whale thought happily.
The lizardmen representative who talked to the giant whale was an old man with a hunched body and black spots on his loose skin.
Seeing that the giant whale did not speak, the old lizardman spread his hands and continued to speak in a sincere voice, "If you agree to become the god of our tribe, although the lizardmen are not rich, we are still willing to offer you a beautiful sacrifice every seven days."
There is a shortage of supplies in the middle layer of the abyss.
The gods provide defense and necessary radiation for the tribe, and the tribe offers food and faith to the gods.
To a certain extent, this relationship is not a pure god and believer, but more like a transaction that puts everything on the table.
However...
After thinking about it for a while.
After learning about the scale of the lizardmen tribe and the surrounding environment from the old man.
The giant whale still chose to agree.
As for the reason, it is not easy to collect enough food and gene samples in the deep sea.
With the help of the intelligent lizardmen, things will become much easier.
The giant whale has limited knowledge of the middle layer of the abyss. The lizardmen tribe has been here for more than a hundred years. The information obtained through this channel itself is of great value.
If we talk about it on a larger scale.
We are all children of Terraria, and it is right to help each other in a dangerous environment.
"Thank you, kind God."
Seeing the giant whale agree, the old lizardman looked very happy.
"My name is Horton, the leader of the lizardmen tribe. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time." The old lizardman bowed and saluted, "It is an honor for the lizardmen tribe to share your glory. We have prepared gifts for you."
Horton clapped his hands.
Behind him, a series of middle-aged lizardmen came to the giant whale with various flesh and rare minerals in their arms.
After saluting, put down the things in his hands.
"Not bad." The giant whale glanced at the pile of debris.
Many high-quality demon flesh and blood were found in it. For the giant whale with the talent of fusion, these flesh and blood are not just food, but a blueprint with infinite possibilities.
In addition.
In the pile of debris, the giant whale also found a few irregular stones like fossils.
With the help of super perception ability.
The giant whale keenly sensed a trace of ancient and vast breath from the seemingly ordinary fossils.
"That power is familiar." Su Heng whispered in his heart, but soon, he suddenly realized, "Those stones, they can't be solidified by the flesh and blood of the big snake."
Horton's reaction also confirmed Su Heng's guess.
"This is a god-given stone. After absorbing it, you can gain superhuman power." The old man said, with a little reluctance in his voice.
Obviously.
Similar stones are also quite precious in the war lizard tribe.
Perhaps it can also serve as currency.
"Really."
Su Heng's mind was in a state of confusion.
For the lizardmen, this kind of stone is just a consumable for the special power of the owner.
However, for the giant whale, these stones are precious treasures. If the genetic blueprint of the snake can be analyzed from it, it would be a great profit for the blood mother.
That is at least the genetic blueprint of the fifth life level.
Even if there is only a little gain, it can be of great help to the current giant whale.
…
After the giant whale accepted the gift.
After confirming the agreement between each other, the lizardmen left near the submarine volcano.
The gathering place of the lizardmen is 30 kilometers away from the submarine volcano, which is not too far away, otherwise the lizardmen would not be able to find the whereabouts of the giant whale.
"I don't understand."
A lizardman with a scar on his face spoke in a muffled voice.
"We don't know anything about that giant whale. It has just entered this sea area, and its strength is not expected to be that strong. Why do we still use precious God-given stones as offerings? If we can leave those stones, there will be more than ten strong warriors in the tribe."
"Shut up!"
The war lizards live in an underwater fjord.
They make a living by hunting large marine creatures and planting plants that absorb geothermal energy.
At this time, the young war lizard with a narrow scar on his face who appeared in front of Horton was the leader of the younger generation in the tribe, named Kaltai.
The old patriarch turned around and looked at the young man in front of him.
It was hunched over, not as tall as Kaltai, but it exuded an invisible power.
It even forced Kaltai to lower his head and dared not look at it.
"You made two mistakes."
Horton coughed twice, and when he saw that Kaltai had given in, his tone softened a little.
"First, since we have signed a contract with the Whale King, we should remain loyal and respectful to our gods. It is absolutely not allowed to discuss gods in private."
"Second, I told you that you can't just look at the immediate gains and losses in anything."
"If we only cherish the treasures in our hands, our tribe would have perished in the cruel abyss long ago. We must look far ahead. The Whale King has just come to this deep sea, and it needs our help. And when it grows up, we will also get the protection of the gods. This is fair, and it is also the unchanging rule in the abyss for hundreds of years."
Kaltai was silent.
It followed the old patriarch's gaze.
In the narrow bay, stone houses are arranged in an intricate manner, and flint is placed in the alleys to provide heat and light.
In the distance, in the chaotic sea waves, black plants resembling seaweed are quietly stretching and swaying.
At the end of the small home, exhausted warriors dragged their companions' bodies back from outside, and a sad atmosphere filled the air above the tribe.
Kaltai clenched his fists, raised his head, and said loudly, "But the indescribable shadow in the darkness is approaching."
"Seventy percent of the outposts we arranged outside were destroyed in less than a month. The aliens' attacks are more fierce than before, and the warriors of the tribe are bleeding. If we don't solve the threat in front of us, then what can we talk about in the future?"
"Alas..."
Horton looked at Kaltai, whose face was slightly flushed, sighed, and said calmly.
"If we can solve those enemies, then with the help of the whale king, the tribe can quickly recover from its weak state. If we can't make it, those resources are not enough to change the result. Instead of falling into the hands of the aliens, it is better to give those things to friends."
"I understand."
Kaltai said heavily, and left the lizard chief without looking back.
Tonight, it is also responsible for taking its companions out for patrol. In the abyss, talking about the future is a luxury.
…
"Perfect creation."
The giant whale looked at the transformed third-generation Devil's Claw in front of him, with a satisfied look on his face.
Since the lizardmen came to visit, half a month has passed again.
During this time, the lizardmen really brought food and some precious mineral gems to the giant whale as tribute every seven days as agreed at the beginning.
In such a barren environment, they can still cultivate the nature of following the contract.
This surprised Su Heng a little.
Although he didn't ask specifically, the state of the lizard tribe didn't seem to be particularly good. Every time he came, the personnel in the team changed, and Horton, the leader, looked older and older.
If they encounter trouble, they can see if they can help them solve it... since they have agreed to become the patron saint of the lizard tribe.
Do something for these little guys within their ability.
It's also right.
However, the giant whale has been studying those God-given stones and perfecting the genetic blueprint of the Devil's Claw during this period.
These things can only be put aside for the time being.
Fortunately...
With the previous experience, the research process will be smoother as time goes on.
From the beginning to the end, it took Su Heng a whole month. With the support of a large number of repeated experiments, the mother nest of the Deinonychus can finally meet the needs of the giant whale.
The maximum length of the new generation of Deinonychus has grown from the original 20 meters to the current 50 meters.
Su Heng inserted a large number of dragon lizard genes into these Devil's claws, making them faster, with stronger muscles and bones, and claws as strong and sharp as steel.
Although they cannot master elemental power as freely as dragon lizards.
But the genetically modified Devil's claw can also release breath.
Considering the special environment of the deep sea, the giant whale added poison mist to the Devil's claw.
The blueprint of the poison gland comes from a certain subspace demon, and the toxicity is very strong. Even if the third life level deep sea overlord is sprayed directly, it will have to fall off a large piece of flesh and blood.
What's more terrifying is that the poison has greatly enhanced the Devil's already extremely strong close combat ability. As long as it is bitten, the injury will be difficult to heal, and it can only wait for bleeding to death.
In addition.
A thick bone layer appeared on the back of the Devil's claw, and the top of the head was covered with sharp horns.
The powerful hind limbs also grew flippers that can swim in the deep sea. The original claw monster could only move at the bottom of the deep sea. Now, after a series of transformations by the giant whale, its range of activities has been greatly expanded.
It is worth mentioning that.
From those God-given stones, the giant whale really separated a few cells of the mythical snake.
However, the number of these cells is too small, and after hundreds of years, the activity of them has inevitably decreased significantly, making it difficult for the giant whale to analyze a complete gene sample from them.
This also proves that Su Heng’s original idea is feasible.
As long as enough and complete God-given stones can be collected, the giant whale can really obtain a little power of the mythical snake through the alien talent.
As for complete replication.
It is unrealistic for the current giant whale.
After the life level is upgraded to the restricted area, the main source of vitality growth is the body rather than the spirit.
When that time comes, Su Heng can’t figure out what role the giant whale’s alien talent can play.
However...
Even if it is just a few gene fragments of the mythical snake obtained from the God-given stone.
The giant whale has also gained a lot.
Those genes further improved the life structure of the giant whale, and its body shape became less bloated, but revealed a sense of strength and smooth beauty.
The maximum size of the Deinonychus was also greatly improved due to the insertion of the genes of the big snake.
It has increased from 20 meters at the beginning to more than 50 meters now.
There are a total of seven new Deinonychus.
The strength of each Deinonychus is between the second life level limit and the third life level.
Because they are all made of the flesh and blood of the giant whale, under the combined attack of the radiation, the ordinary sea beast overlord is no match at all.
Even in the middle layer of the abyss.
These Deinonychus are also quite strong forces, which can meet the initial requirements of the giant whale.
"However, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth." Su Heng looked at the well-behaved Deinonychus in front of him, and thought of a good doctrine in his heart, "It just so happens that those war lizards seem to be in trouble, why not send these little guys over to take a look."
