Chapter 321 Song of Life
Chapter 321 Song of Life
Time passed minute by minute, and after a long pause, a vague voice came from above. The voice of the Black Scythe Lord seemed to come from the sky.
"Why can humans - wizards - be favored by insect luck?"
"Because I have researched a method of insect breathing, a knight's breathing method that insects can practice."
Hearing the words from the other side, Ivan hurriedly took out a diamond-shaped crystal and gently pushed it forward, causing the diamond-shaped crystal to float to the front and present it in this way.
So far, he has advanced the insect breathing method to an advanced level and there is no further progress to be made.
The effects of the insect breathing method are similar. It is mainly used to stabilize the various forces in the insect's body, reduce the risk of deformation, and assist the insect in completing metamorphosis.
The diamond-shaped crystal flew forward and backward, and a powerful force swept over it.
The crystal couldn't bear the pressure and was crushed into powder with a bang.
This sudden change scared Ivan and Jenny, and they became secretly alert.
"Knight - Centaur - Transformation - Human Wizard, very good." The voice of Lord Black Scythe sounded again, making the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your praise, but this breathing method still has some shortcomings." Ivan said.
"Insufficient - - should be improved." The Black Scythe Lord did not make any movement. As he spoke, wisps of inexplicable power were drawn out from the giant insect's head, gathered together, and finally turned into a ball of energy glowing black.
Two fist-sized light black energy balls condensed, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, and flew close to Ivan.
Ivan immediately understood and stretched out his hands to hold it. Before his palms touched the light black energy ball, the hair on his arms stood up and he felt a subtle tremor coming from deep in his flesh.
This involves high-level energy!
He gritted his teeth and held it in his hand. It was so heavy that he felt like he was holding up a mountain.
The next second, a light black energy ball merged into his body from his palm, and a large number of images and memories exploded in his mind, giving him a sense of reality that seemed real.
A long song of life began to play.
This is a song of life triumph about the 'Black Scythe'.
When it was born, it was nameless and had no consciousness. It only knew that the surrounding area was filled with poisonous fog and miasma, which could be described as a poor and bad place. For a poison sickle beetle, such a bad place is just like a fish in water.
Later, it learned that this place was called "Black Abyss", a place that many creatures stayed away from.
In the vast black abyss, it is just one of tens of thousands of insects. From the moment it is born, it needs to constantly transform between its two selves, prey and hunter.
It was lucky. After swallowing enough prey, it soon underwent a metamorphosis and transformed into a first-level creature.
"It turns out that this is how insects metamorphose. Each metamorphosis requires all of their strength to fight for a glimmer of hope, to die and be reborn. The entire process is supported by a desire for life evolution.
If this desire cannot sustain until the transformation is complete, the insect's consciousness will be lost in the process of transformation, and it will become an insignificant one among the millions of withered ones. "
Ivan took a quick look at some of the beetle's memories, and when the transformation began, the feeling suddenly became extremely real.
At this moment, he turned into a tiny beetle in the abyss.
After the metamorphosis was completed, the poison sickle beetle became a first-level beetle and gained an ability - poisonous body armor, which greatly increased its defense capabilities.
Fighting in the abyss breaks out every day.
The poison sickle beetle's intelligence has increased, and its memory images have become much clearer. It is still busy hunting or escaping, and its life is simple and fulfilling.
The picture is like a fleeting glimpse, until it impacts the transformation to the secondary level.
"It's so real. Even the heart-wrenching pain during the transformation and the rotten and damp smell around me are so clear that it's hard to tell the difference between illusion and reality."
With the help of the identity of the poison sickle beetle, Ivan personally experienced the second-level promotion transformation.
Ivan could also truly sense the joy and restlessness of the poison sickle beetle after its transformation, as well as its agility as an intelligent creature and its new ability - the ability to eat all kinds of poisons.
From then on, it had a simple name "Black Scythe" and became the little overlord of a corner of the Black Abyss.
In a few moments of trance, the third-level transformation began.
This time, Heijian experienced a true life-and-death experience.
The transformation lasted for more than two years, during which its consciousness became tenuous many times. Fortunately, it did not give up, and finally completed the transformation with the ability of "eating all kinds of poisons", becoming one of the overlords in the Black Abyss.
"Level 3 is so difficult, and level 4 will probably be a repeated ordeal in despair."
Ivan wiped away the non-existent sweat and watched the poison sickle beetle's majesty after it became a third-level creature.
In the black abyss filled with poisonous fog, level three creatures can already dominate the world.
The poison sickle beetle lived an increasingly comfortable life thereafter, with many wives and concubines and an army of subordinates. It began to set foot on the mountains outside the Black Abyss, and its reputation spread in the surrounding areas.
Time flies by.
"Life evolution is something that is engraved in the bones of the Zerg. No matter how comfortable life is, it cannot resist the Zerg's heart that strives to move forward." "However, the probability of transformation and advancement at this time is too slim."
Ivan muttered to himself that he would start the next round of transformation with the poison sickle beetle.
This time, the poison sickle beetle is about to touch the mysterious fourth level of life.
As expected, not long after the metamorphosis began, the poison sickle beetle was defeated and attacked, and the whole beetle was trapped and died in the cocoon. It faded away little by little over time, and its life was like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
I don’t know how long it took until something fell from the sky and landed on the place where it transformed.
The black sickle beetle had a turning point. It absorbed nutrients from the surrounding environment with its instinct and ability to eat all kinds of poisons. After a long recovery period, it broke out of the cocoon and saw the light again.
It is still a third-level creature, but its strength has declined significantly.
Only then did the poison sickle beetle realize that thirty years had passed in a flash.
It turned out that a higher-level battle had broken out outside. The Black Abyss was destroyed in the battle, and turned into a post-war land with a distorted force field. There were also some corpses of higher-level creatures left. The thing that fell from the place where it transformed was one of them.
The original toxin of the Black Abyss did not completely disappear, and part of it merged with the distortion field, making it even more toxic.
It also discovered that it had undergone some changes due to the distorted force field, and could survive in this strange place for a long time.
The poison sickle beetle was not surprised but delighted by this discovery. It simply treated the battlefield as its own nest and everything here as its own.
Another thirty years later, the poison sickle beetle made a comeback and tried to attack the fourth level again.
"Oops! Failed again."
After an unknown amount of time, Ivan sighed helplessly.
He really couldn't agree with this 'Black Scythe'. As long as there was a 20% or 30% chance of success, the other party would start to transform regardless of the consequences. To be honest, his style was too rough and extreme.
Fortunately, Black Scythe was prepared after its last failure. After a long period of suffering, it managed to struggle out of its cocoon.
The strength of the poison sickle beetle declined to the first level and fell into unprecedented weakness.
The price is indeed heavy.
"I can't fail this time."
A hundred years passed in a flash, and Ivan had a strong premonition that the long-dormant Black Scythe would successfully enter the fourth level of life, and he was looking forward to this transformation.
When the time came, the poison sickle beetle began its transformation without hesitation.
After a long period of transformation, Ivan finally experienced the fourth level of life change firsthand. This was an extreme and miraculous life leap, and its miraculousness far surpassed any previous transformation.
"Lord of the Black Scythe, fourth-level life, a hundred-change black poison field."
At the moment of successful transformation, Ivan felt the immense power of the fourth level, which was not like the power of the third level. Such power made people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
The touch peels off quickly.
He suddenly woke up, feeling lost all over.
Afterwards, the picture still showed the past life of the poison sickle beetle, but the picture gradually became blurred and never became clear again during its transformation, which made Ivan feel both regretful and relieved.
He estimated that he would not be able to withstand the fifth level change and would easily get lost in the power, but fortunately he did not have to worry about that.
Level five, medium elemental realm.
Level six, advanced elemental realm, elemental throne.
It is regrettable that Lord Black Scythe fell during the transformation of the Elemental Throne, and in the end he was unable to forge the 'Black Scythe Throne' that overlooks the world.
"It's too much of a stretch. He was seriously injured but still forced to transform. Although Lord Black Scythe is a Zerg, he is a man of steel."
Even though it was just a quick tour, Ivan still witnessed many things about the Black Scythe Lord, including the fact that it was recruited to follow other powerful people in the world of Danara to fight against foreign enemies.
From it, Ivan saw the familiar "black robe monster", which turned out to be a race of demons from the underworld of the abyss.
Lord Black Scythe was also recruited by the Astral Scarlet Legion, but as a Zerg, he did not agree. As a result, he was secretly attacked by the Scarlet Legion and almost died, leaving him with injuries that were difficult to heal.
The final death was closely related to this injury.
After watching this chapter written with life, Ivan couldn't calm down for a long time. He was shocked and moved. He understood the intention of Lord Black Scythe.
Taking himself as an example, he shared the real feeling of transformation, hoping that he could further deduce the insect breathing method and seek a chance of survival for the Zerg.
For the Black Scythe Lord, this is his great love for the Zerg.
For Ivan, this is undoubtedly a heavy responsibility.
