Chapter 183: Picking the Flower Demon with a Gun
Moonlight pollen is already in hand.
Allen, Baker and Hogg's next hunting target is the more dangerous viper vine.
Baker walked in the front, occasionally communicating telepathically with the flowers and plants on the roadside to collect information on the activities of viper vines.
"We're lucky!" Baker smiled as he turned around. "There's an adult viper lurking near this woodland. Everyone, be careful and don't get attacked by that monster."
Alan was about to ask him about the specific location of the viper vine when his expression suddenly changed slightly.
Two system prompts came into my mind one after another.
"Level 6 poison detected!"
"Insufficient samples, unable to identify!"
"Special ingredients detected!"
"Insufficient samples, unable to identify!"
Alan was slightly startled and stopped.
Level 6 toxin is no joke!
It has to be a monster at least at the level of the mutant flying dragon "Blue Devil" to possess such a high-level toxin!
Allen's poison resistance bar was stuck at the middle of level 6 and hadn't moved for a long time.
No matter how many low-level toxins he collected, it would not improve his toxin resistance.
For him, level 6 toxin is a very valuable resource.
What's more, there are special ingredients on the same monster!
"Brother Baker! Brother Hogg! Wait a moment!" Allen pointed to the ground and lowered his voice, "There is movement below the hillside where we are! If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a viper... Hmm?!"
The second half of Alan's words was choked back in his throat.
His face changed in an instant!
Strange...
What's going on?
Two new system prompts were echoing in his mind.
"Level 5 poison detected!"
"Insufficient samples, unable to identify!"
"Special ingredients detected!"
"Insufficient samples, unable to identify!"
…
This viper vine is so elusive. It was just at the bottom of the slope, how come it suddenly ran to the front? !
What confused Alan even more was...
What was detected just now was clearly a level 6 toxin, how come it became level 5 in the blink of an eye?
So, how many adder vines are there nearby?
How many toxins does viper vine have?
He was confused by all the strange phenomena.
"Brother Allen, what did you find out?"
Hogg asked curiously.
"Something is wrong!" Alan said thoughtfully, "There may be more than one viper vine nearby!"
Before he finished his words, there was a rustling noise coming from the dense forest ahead!
Baker and Hogg quickly looked back.
A snake-like plant sprang out from the bushes.
The leaves all over its body look like green snake scales.
The shaking flower disk looks like the head of a giant python.
In the center of the face, the petals are blooming, shaped like scimitars.
Sometimes it expands, sometimes it contracts.
It's like a natural guillotine designed for efficient beheading!
"Ha! It's indeed the viper vine!"
Baker is ready to go and directly enters his ancestral form!
"This guy came to me on his own initiative, great!"
Hogg did not delay and transformed into a thunder boar.
The two men rushed forward from the left and right sides and besieged the viper vine.
Alan stood there, his thoughts still a little confused.
Now he was sure that the viper vine was the target of the second reconnaissance.
Possess level 5 toxins and unique ingredients.
The problem is…
What was the other target detected previously?
Baker and Hogg are fighting fiercely with the viper vine. At the moment, it seems that the two of them cannot gain any advantage even if they join forces.
At this moment and in this place, he was not allowed to stand idly by.
Alan had to collect his thoughts, cast "Shield Technique" and "Giant Technique" on himself, and concentrate on dealing with the viper vine in front of him.
BANG!!
Alan raised his hand and blasted out a "Shaping Thunder Wave", which dispersed the acid sprayed by the viper vine.
Baker's "Plant Withering" and Hogg's "Thunderous Earthquake Wave" also continued to bombard the viper vine.
With the help of Allen, the battle turned in favor of the three.
The viper vine seemed to realize that the situation was not good. It shook its huge snake-head-shaped buds and sprayed poisonous mist frantically!
The "intoxicating cloud is the level 5 toxin that Allen had detected before, which has a strong sedative and anesthetic effect.
If the inhaler is unable to resist the toxin, he or she will fall into a coma in just a few seconds, as if under general anesthesia.
Baker and Hogg had already taken the anti-toxin provided by Allen in advance, so they had no hindrance when inhaling the poisonous mist.
Allen, Baker and Hogg surrounded the viper vines. No matter which direction the monster tried to break out, it would be intercepted in time.
The longer the fight goes on, the weaker the Vipervine becomes.
Victory is at hand.
Suddenly, Alan's "Qi Sensing" issued a warning!
The ground beneath my feet is shaking abnormally...
It indicates that unknown danger is coming!
"Two brothers, watch your step!"
Alan hastened to warn his companions.
As soon as he said this he realized that he was the one in danger!
With a loud bang, the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed!
Countless vines emerged and entangled Alan's feet.
Then, a huge plant broke out of the ground.
A pink flower as big as a bathtub blossomed in front of him, emitting a rich and intoxicating fragrance.
“Hehehe…”
Along with a creepy giggle, a banshee with tender green skin emerged from the huge pistil, with her lower body tightly connected to the pistil, becoming one with it.
When Alan saw this weird scene, his scalp went numb!
He never expected that the "Flower Fairy Queen" Elona would suddenly appear and launch a shameless sneak attack on him from underground!
Baker and Hogg were tripped by viper vines and had no time to split themselves.
Alan had to face this sudden crisis alone!
Didi——
"Level 6 Toxin Found: Queen's Nectar (Anesthetic/Tranquilizer)!"
System prompts, solve the mystery in Alan's mind.
The level 6 toxin detected previously had nothing to do with viper vines, but came from the Flower Fairy Queen!
Before he could think too much, Elona had already opened her petals, like a greedy pink mouth, and swallowed him directly into the bud!
The petals then close, like a water lily at night.
Alan was tightly wrapped in the closed petals, having difficulty breathing and everything in front of his eyes was dark.
Then, I felt a strong dizziness and suffocation...
In the flower bud, the enchanting green body split and deformed, turning into four thick filaments that entangled with each other.
Alan's limbs were tightly entangled by the floral threads and he couldn't move.
A large amount of nectar is gushing out from deep within Elona's pistil.
Sweet nectar, very sticky.
It is not only a highly toxic substance that numbs the nerves, but also a special ingredient that Alan had detected before!
Alan has level 6 poison resistance, and Elona's anesthetic poison cannot pose a threat to him.
The real trouble is that breathing is obstructed!
The water level in the bud was rising and would soon submerge him.
First, it traps its prey with flower petals, then secretes nectar to anesthetize the prey and drown it, and finally sucks its blood and flesh.
This is the hunting process of the Flower Fairy Queen.
Now, Allen has reached the second step of this process.
From head to toe, I was soaked in sticky nectar, unable to open my eyes or breathe.
If this goes on, I will be suffocated to death soon!
call out!
Alan's left palm ejected the bone spur, and he desperately extracted nectar from the tip of his nose to buy himself more breathing space.
However, his efforts could not be sustained.
The nectar secreted by the Flower Fairy Queen is endless, like a flood.
Allen's bone spur is so thin that it's like using a straw to draw water out of a bathtub; you can barely feel the water level drop.
If you can't suck her dry, I'll burst her!
Alan gritted his teeth and activated his ancestral form!
Before being trapped, he had already cast the "Giant Transformation Technique", and now he activated the third-order atavism transformation, suddenly turning into a twelve-meter-tall leopard-headed giant!
He tried to burst Elona's flower bud with his rapidly growing body size.
I never expected...
The petals of this banshee are surprisingly flexible, and their elasticity is no less than that of Spanna's spider silk!
Double transformation, but it can’t be broken!
Alan was strangled by the silk thread, his limbs were numb and he couldn't use any strength.
Apart from your hands and feet, what other weapons do you have that you can use?
Suddenly an idea came to my mind!
I recalled the trick I used to assassinate Agrippina in the meditation world.
The magic power flows downward, infusing into the "Steel Rift Rake"!
As his body size increased, Allen's limbs also grew more than four times.
Not only that!
Allen also has "soft bone and flesh armor"!
In the soft body form, every inch of muscle in the body can be stretched at least twice as long!
Organs that can naturally expand and contract can now stretch to a greater extent.
With the superposition of various buffs, Allen's secret weapon eventually expanded to nearly two meters long, like a big gun!
The "Steel Ripping Rake" is blessed by the flesh and blood, and its hardness is better than that of fine steel.
Alan swung his spear with all his might like a brave knight!
puff!
Alan's heart trembled!
The petals of the Flower Fairy Queen are so tough that they also have a physical damage reduction effect similar to "beast armor"!
The lower body infused with the "Steel Ripping Rake" could penetrate iron like mud, but it couldn't even pierce a single petal of Elona's!
What should I do? !
Since traveling through time, Allen has never been in such a desperate situation.
Cold sweat ran down his back!
The long period of suffocation made his mind gradually blurred...
He bit his lip so hard that it broke, and the pain forced him to stay calm.
The third-level "Steel Ripping Rake" cannot penetrate Elona's petals, so what can a higher-level armor-piercing martial art do?
Alan suddenly thought of a possibility that might help him break through the desperate situation and find a way to survive!
Barely staying awake, he opened the system page and started a long-pending martial arts fusion process!
"Do you want to spend 4 potential points to fuse the 2nd level 'Bone-penetrating Explosion' and the 3rd level 'Steel-crack Rake' to deduce the 4th level unnamed martial arts?"
"yes……"
Alan replied weakly.
What follows is an agonizing wait.
The brain deprivation caused by suffocation made Allen dizzy and confused.
Every second of waiting seems as long as a century.
Finally, the system prompt came into my mind like gospel.
Didi——
"Deduction completed! Please name this 4th-level martial arts!"
At a moment of life and death, there is no time to worry about naming.
Alan didn't even take a look at the specific performance of the new martial arts. It was enough for him to know that this was an enhanced version of the "Steel Rift Rake"!
Without any hesitation, he used his magic power to move downwards, and replaced the Steel Rift Rake with the new martial arts he had fused before the battle, and thrust forward with all his might!
The effect is immediate!
With a "pop", the thick and fleshy petals were torn into a crack more than two meters long.
Nectar gushed out through the cracks like a flood!
Inside the bud, the water level dropped sharply.
Alan can finally breathe a breath of fresh air!
As the feeling of suffocation subsided, my mind became clear again.
The 4th-level martial arts that were infused and fused with both hands stimulated the magic power!
With two loud bangs, the floral wire wrapped around the arm was shattered in an instant!
Soon after, the floral threads wrapped around the legs suffered the same fate!
Alan's limbs regained vitality and he struggled to get out of the bud.
The nectar cascaded down like a waterfall and fell to the ground.
“Phew…that was close!”
Alan gasped and struggled to get up.
He didn't even dare to look back at Elona, and activated the "Phantom Step" immediately!
Directly teleport to a hundred meters away!
He fought hard and finally managed to escape from Elona's captivity.
He was not so arrogant as to think that he could turn the tide and kill the Flower Demon Queen just by relying on a newly fused 4th-level martial art.
Of course, run as far as you can!
Fortunately, Elona did not catch up.
The flower demon queen had her flower buds forcibly torn apart by him, and seemed to be frightened. She quietly escaped into the depths of the earth and never appeared again.
Alan breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around and picked up the scattered petals on the ground, and added the nectar absorbed by the bone thorns, which was enough to be used as materials for refining medicine.
Open the system page and check the detailed introduction of the new 4th-tier martial arts...
As expected, this is an enhanced version of "Bone Burst" and "Steel Cracking Rake"!
It consumes 10 mana points, and exerts force at close range, causing damage equivalent to double "bone blast", with additional "armor piercing" and "crushing" special effects!
In addition, this martial art is also compatible with the "Steel Rift Rake" feature, doubling the damage to exoskeleton creatures and constructs!
After escaping death and having some spare time, Alan began to think about what name to give this move.
The first thing that came to Alan's mind was "the ruthless person who forced the flowers to bloom".
I just used this trick to deflower the flower demon queen, making her a withered flower, which is worthy of the name.
But thinking about it carefully, it’s too shameful...
As we all know, as a shy, elegant and upright gentleman, Alan hates vulgar and obscene things the most!
Putting aside all those fancy ideas, he finally gave this new martial art a straightforward and simple name - Bone Crushing Explosion.
After closing the system page, Alan walked out of the woods and assisted Baker and Hogg in killing the viper vine.
All the materials for making tranquilizing meditation potions have been collected!
After the battle, Alan used the rest time to taste the nectar of viper vine and Elona.
He then received a series of system prompts that made him happy.
"Take special ingredients: viper nectar!"
"Potential +2!"
"Spirit +1!"
"Take special ingredients: Queen's nectar!"
"Potential +3!"
"Spirit +1!"
Current attributes: 30 physique, 25 agility, 40 spirit
Potential reserve: 7 points
…
After returning from Flower Demon Valley, Alan immediately threw himself into the busy work of refining medicine.
Once all the medicinal materials are collected, the pharmaceutical process will not be a problem.
With just a spit, the yield rate can be increased to 100%, thus achieving mass production!
A few days later, Allen successfully refined a complete set of 1st to 4th level calming and meditation agents!
Everything is ready, it's time to return to New Quint Town and implement the "Beastialization Project"!
…
White Tiger Hall.
The ashram of Master Shiva is filled with smoke and looks solemn and majestic.
If a beastman wants to be promoted to the Gaidin clan, he must choose to worship one of the "Three Gods of Silver Moon".
The patron saint of bear people, "Bear Papa" Bailado, the "God of the Earth" of rationality and tolerance.
The patron saint of pig people, "Pig Elder" Brownie, and the "Kitchen God" who blesses believers with good food, good sleep, and peace at home.
Finally, there is the idol worshipped by Master Shiva, the patron saint of cats, “Tiger Mom” Fruka.
Fricka is the most complex character among the three Silver Moon gods.
She was not as good-tempered and patient as Bailardo.
In fact, the "tiger mom" is moody, willful and capricious, and what she fears most is boredom.
She is not as realistic and materialistic as Brownie.
Frika is impulsive and full of unrealistic romantic ideas.
In the myths that have been passed down since ancient times, the love-brained Fruka is always cheated of her money and sex by pretty boys... and she never learns her lesson.
Despite all the flaws that make people want to complain, tiger moms have two most outstanding advantages.
First, love freedom and indulge in pleasure.
Second, dare to love and hate, and take revenge with pleasure!
Because of the first one, Fricka was honored as the "Statue of Liberty".
Because of the second reason, Fricka was revered as the "Goddess of Vengeance".
Some believers, especially female believers, worship Fricka as the "Goddess of Love".
Alan thinks...the last one is visiting the wrong temple.
The “tiger mom” herself is a loser in love. What good results can come from learning her views on love?
Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Alan walked to the shrine and knelt down beside his teacher obediently.
When Master Shiva is alone, he always relaxes and turns back into his silver-haired loli form.
When he saw Alan come in, he didn't turn back into a tiger man.
He knelt opposite the shrine and recited scriptures absentmindedly.
He was holding a ball of wool in his hand, playing with it.
"Alan, Maria said you want to take a leave?"
Master Shiva was tired of sitting, so he tilted his head and fell on Alan's knees.
I used his legs as a pillow and found a comfortable lying position.
"Well, teacher, I haven't been home for half a year."
"It's almost Chinese New Year, and I want to go home to visit my family."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll come back next spring."
"Woo..." Master Shiva rolled on his legs and yawned comfortably, showing his little canine teeth. "I will write you a note of leave after I finish praying."
"Teacher, are you praying? You are too distracted." Allen gave a serious suggestion, "You need to be focused and pious when you pray."
"Yeah, yeah, I get it! You're so annoying!"
Master Shiva yawned and rolled over on the ground.
"Praying or something, just deal with it casually!"
"My Lord Fruka doesn't care about these superficial forms anyway. Sincerity is the key to success!"
Alan smiled helplessly and continued:
"Teacher, look at this statue, it is covered with smoke and incense ash."
"Excuse me, this is totally unbecoming!"
"You're so nagging!" The little girl showed her claws in anger. "You think the statue is dirty, why don't you wipe it? As a disciple, don't you have this much sense?"
"Disciple obeys your command!" This is what Alan was waiting for. He stepped forward and respectfully held out the statue of the goddess with a human body and a tiger head, and wiped the dust off it with a white silk handkerchief.
Wipe it clean and leave no spot on.
Even the ear holes of the goddess statue were carefully cleaned.
Master Shiva was moved by his sincere expression.
"Alan, do you want to worship with me?"
"Only after you convert to the Silver Moon Church will you be considered one of the monastery's own. Not only can you be promoted to a direct disciple, but in the future your cultivation level will be raised to the late fourth level. You can also change your job to a celestial sorcerer and be promoted to a Gedin angel."
Alan hesitated for a moment and put the statue back into the shrine.
"Teacher, thank you for your appreciation. I need some time to think about it."
"Hmph! You stinky kid, you don't know how to appreciate my kindness!" Master Shiva rolled his eyes. "You only know how to do superficial work. No matter how clean you clean the statue, it's useless if you don't truly worship it!"
Alan smiled and said nothing.
A system prompt was echoing in his mind.
Didi——
"Eat special ingredients: bone marrow infused with divine power!"
"Potential +3!"
"Spirit +1!"
…
After less than half a year, Alan returned to New Quint Town to reunite with his relatives and friends.
Since repelling the orc gangs, the new town of Gwent has entered a golden period of rapid development.
All construction projects are progressing steadily.
There are busy construction sites everywhere inside and outside the town.
When Allen returned from his study abroad, he clearly felt that the town was much more prosperous and lively than before.
The pub run by my mother and the surrounding commercial shops are all very popular.
Alan went to the city hall to visit his father. When they talked about the town's development in the past six months, his father was quite proud.
The climate is suitable, the resources are rich and the people are simple.
The transportation is convenient, the facilities are complete and the public security is good.
The laws are fair, taxes are reasonable, and prices are stable.
New Quint Town has all the advantages that a new town can have.
In this chaotic world, it can be said to be a breath of fresh air.
It soon became a paradise in people's minds and attracted more immigrants.
Today, the town’s registered population has exceeded 5,000, and it is still attracting a steady stream of outsiders.
According to this trend, by the end of next year at the latest, the population of New Quint Town will exceed 10,000!
Alan's purpose in returning home this time, besides visiting his relatives, was to start the first martial arts school under the name of the Panthers family.
In order to pay protection fees to the Silver Moon Monastery, Alan was eager to do good and generously donated money from his own pocket to the town government to tide over the difficulties.
The establishment of a town and infrastructure projects require money everywhere.
Considering the town's financial constraints, Allen was kind-hearted and generous enough to agree to an extension of the repayment period for the town government.
Don't rush to pay back the principal, but what about the interest...
He used a piece of land specially approved by the town government to pay off the high interest...charity debt owed to him.
This piece of land includes a large area of forest in the north.
The villa on the mountain is also Allen's property.
The martial arts school is located at the foot of the mountain.
It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has a quiet bamboo forest, which is suitable for meditation.
Allen plans to recruit young people in the town and implement the "Beastialization Project" under the name of opening a martial arts school.
According to the teenagers' physique and personality, different types of beastiality viruses and sedatives are administered.
The martial arts inherited from the monastery will also be taught according to the students’ aptitude.
…
The news of the opening of a martial arts school quickly spread throughout the town.
In recent days, many young boys and girls with dreams have almost broken down the door of Allen's house.
Allen hired his elder sister Kelly and younger apprentice sister Angie to work part-time as teachers and secretaries at the martial arts school, responsible for registering applicants.
In the first phase, Allen plans to recruit one hundred people.
However, in just one day, the number of applicants exceeded three hundred!
Alan quickly shouted stop!
There are too many people to manage.
The first person to sign up was my old classmate Robin.
Of course, old friends need special care and focus on cultivation.
Alan examined Robin's background and found that he had good physical fitness and a certain foundation in martial arts.
Alan has four major types of beast viruses here.
The signature items of the Silver Moon Monastery: cat, pig, and bear.
In addition, there is also an insect system, including Angel's bee-man virus and the spider virus provided by Spanna.
Robin finally chose the tiger man bloodline.
He thinks the tiger is the king of beasts and the most domineering!
Alan was too embarrassed to tell his old friend that the tiger virus he was vaccinated with was taken from Renee.
That silly Hu Niu is not at all "mighty and domineering".
…
After the New Year.
The martial arts hall venue has been completed.
The first batch of disciples, more than 300 people, were mostly young and strong militiamen in the town.
The martial arts school will officially open on the second day of February.
During the two months of spending the New Year at home, in addition to planning to build a martial arts school, Allen also took time to guide his sister, junior sister and teacher Sora in their practice.
Through group meditation, we help them overcome difficulties.
Junior sister An Qi is still in the early third stage of her cultivation and is not far from being promoted to the late stage.
Ms. Sora finally broke through the bottleneck and entered the early stage of the third stage.
My elder sister, Kelly, has made the most progress.
It has only been two years since the awakening of the warlock bloodline, and he has already reached the early stage of the second level.
Alan's own practice also made a breakthrough and entered the late third stage.
Current attributes: 31 physique, 26 agility, 42 spirit
Potential reserve: 10 points
In addition, Allen's venom gland evolved again.
A new ability has been added, called "Bloodline Extraction".
…
Blood Extraction: Draw the blood of a warlock or magical creature, store it in a venom gland, and automatically extract the "blood essence".
…
Blood essence is equivalent to "blood awakening agent".
After injection, there is a chance of awakening this bloodline.
All major warlock families have their own secret recipe for preparing "Blood Awakening Agent".
For example, Alan’s good friend Feilin comes from a griffin family.
The potion prepared by collecting griffin blood as the main ingredient may awaken the griffin bloodline after inoculation.
Ms. Sora's family, the Case family, has passed down the formula of the "Catman Awakening Agent" from generation to generation.
After Allen's venom gland evolved, it became like a machine that could automatically process various blood awakening agents!
The quality of the extracted blood essence depends on Alan's own warlock rank.
The higher the quality of the blood essence, the higher the probability of awakening after injection.
Allen himself cannot use this ability for the time being.
However, it can be used on martial arts apprentices!
It is easier for beastmen to awaken the bloodline of beast warlocks. With medium qualifications, an injection of blood essence will almost ensure awakening!
In this way, Alan's martial arts school is like a factory assembly line, which can mass-produce beast warlocks!
As the martial arts school grows and more talented people emerge, the safety of the new Quint Town will also be guaranteed.
In addition to the evolution of the venom gland, Alan also awakened a new 3rd ring magic - "Liquid Alchemy"!
Using this method, the properties of a certain amount of liquid within a hundred meters can be temporarily changed.
What it will look like depends on the spell material you choose.
For example, turning fresh water into sea water and turning wine into vinegar.
The liquid must not have any magical effects before or after the conversion.
The conversion effect lasts for a whole day and then returns to its original state.
Sea water turns back into fresh water, and vinegar turns back into wine.
The amount of liquid that can be changed in one cast is proportional to the spiritual attribute.
Alan's spiritual attribute is 42. He can cast "Liquid Alchemy" once to temporarily change the properties of up to 420 liters of liquid.
Alan discovered that the configuration of the 3-ring "Liquid Alchemy" was a bit like the 1-ring "Water Control".
In a sense, "liquid alchemy" is an upgraded and enhanced version of "water control".
On this basis, Alan naturally started to associate...
Past experience in using "water control" may be useful for "liquid alchemy".
For example, turning a puddle of water under the enemy's feet into an oil pit and setting it on fire.
Many of the toxins collected by Allen are in liquid form.
No matter how powerful the poison is, it is usually a magical creation of nature and does not have any magical properties.
This type of liquid poison can also be used as a spell material for "Liquid Alchemy".
Alan's bone spur can secrete a drop of mutant dragon poison, or Elona's anesthetic nectar, which can cast a spell to pollute a pond and turn it into a poisonous pool!
Thinking of the various techniques of using "liquid alchemy", Alan raised the corners of his lips, revealing an elegant and easy-going smile.
…
End of meditation.
Alan stood up, walked to the window and opened it.
In the courtyard outside the window, there is a tall corundum stone monument.
On the stone tablet, there are two lines of inscriptions in a flamboyant style:
Silver Moon Heritage, with a long history
Spreading branches and leaves, lasting glory
The inscription was written by Master Shiva .
This stone tablet is a gift from Master Shiva to Allen.
Prove that Alan is qualified to represent the Silver Moon Monastery, open a martial arts school, recruit disciples, and teach skills.
The Silver Moon Monastery officially acknowledges that Panthers Martial Arts School is a subsidiary institution of the monastery.
All disciples who graduated from the martial arts school belong to the Silver Moon lineage.
Those with excellent academic performance can enter the monastery for further study without taking an exam.
The stone tablet erected in the courtyard of the martial arts hall is like a golden signboard endorsed by the official Silver Moon Monastery.
This marks the official establishment of Panthers Martial Arts School!
