Doomsday Totem

Chapter 226 Harmonica

Chapter 226 Harmonica
"This is the ability that all men dream of..." the old man turned his head and said in a low voice.

"And then?" The former was mysterious, half-talking but not half-talking, Tie Slag got a little impatient, and then frowned, and asked in a deep voice.

"Usually, male worms with a purple spectrum have only two abilities, which are male ant glands and drone glands, while females reproduce for queen ants or queen bees." The old man smiled and continued, " The functions of male ant glands and male ant glands are similar, the only difference is the difference in stamina and frequency..."

"Understood." Tie Slag's expression darkened, he interrupted the old man's words, and turned his head to continue reading the pamphlet.

Turning to the next page, I saw the old and yellowed paper written:

稀有级,编号9982(虫化甲壳70%、虫化鞘翅30%)1500金;编号10895(酸化体液80%、蚀骨蚁酸6%、青蜂毒素6%,金蝎毒液6%,天虫毒腺1%,食蚁蛛毒1%)1200金;编号16421(多重神经33%、多重视觉33%、多重鼓膜33%、多重复脑1%)3500金;编号8795(蛉虫飞翼33%、蜂化飞翼33%、蚁化飞翼33%、蝶化飞翼1%)20000金;编号4368(蚤化弹跳50%、飞蝗弹跳50%)300金;编号12771(蛉虫再生65%、天虫再生30%、涡虫再生5%)5000金;编号7729(剧毒蜂针70%、剧毒蝎尾15%、剧毒蛛刺15%)1700金……

"The first item is the serial number of the corpse, the second item is the probability of obtaining the ability, and the third item is the price." The old man leaned over and explained.

"Why don't you write the spectral color here, but directly write the specific ability." Tie Slag asked curiously.

"The spectrum of the basic ability is a pure color, while the spectrum of a rare ability is a mixed color. First of all, it is difficult to describe the mixed color literally, and secondly, distinguishing the mixed color spectrum is a secret handed down from generation to generation by our corpse transporters, otherwise... ..." The old man chuckled, and said with a wrinkled face, "Others will plunder our abilities, and then take away our business."

Listening to the old man's words, Tie Slag couldn't help but look up at him.Judging from the selling price of the ability, the corpse transporter's business is indeed hugely profitable, which will inevitably arouse the covetousness of most wormers.

"This is the old rule of our corpse transporters... the old rule..." The old man seemed to notice Tie Slag's vigilant gaze, and said with a dry smile.The latter looked at the empty eye sockets of the former, thinking that this old man clearly has no eyes, but his actions are not affected at all, and his visual ability is even stronger than his, so he asked: "How do you see things? "

"Brainwave induction." The old man gestured and said, "It's the same as the master of the abyss of the bees and ants."

When the old man mentioned the Lord of the Abyss, Tie Slag immediately remembered that he could use genetic plunder to absorb crystal nuclei, so he hurriedly asked this question.The old man replied without thinking, insects cannot absorb the crystal core, but the compound evolution of insects and psykers - worms can directly absorb the psionic star sand in the crystal core to strengthen themselves , As for the compound evolutionary of the insectoid and the traditional evolutionary - the star insect, because the number is too rare, there is no relevant data record.But theoretically speaking, starworms have the conditions to absorb crystal nuclei, and compared to psykers below the eighth level, they have a higher affinity for psychic star sand.

After listening to the old man's narration, Tie Slag nodded, and rarely said: "Thank you."

"Young man, if you are satisfied, you can give me a small reward." The old man stretched out his thin hand and said calmly.

"Uh..." Tie Slag was taken aback for a moment, and the booklet in his hand almost fell to the ground.After a few seconds of silence, Tie Slag took out a gold coin and threw it over.When the old man heard the movement, he immediately flipped his hands and fished it with a smile on his face...

"Ding Dong." However, due to excessive nervousness, the old man shook his hand, and the gold coin bounced off his finger, and then fell to the ground and rolled.I only heard a strange cry from the old man, and rushed over desperately.And the gold coin kept rolling towards the depths of the passage. In the blink of an eye, the old man's figure flashed, he turned sideways, rushed forward, picked it up with one hand, and then slammed his head against the iron drawer on the side with a "clang" sound...

Tie Zha stared blankly at what happened in front of him. He didn't recover until the old man fell on his back on the ground, and hurried forward to help him up.

"Oh... I'm old...it doesn't work anymore..." the old man held the gold coin tightly in one hand and touched his forehead with the other and sighed.

Looking at the old man who loves money like his life, Tie Slag scratched his hair subconsciously, thinking that it would be very difficult to lower the price soon.

After a while, the old man recovered from the dizziness. Iron Slag pointed to item number 8795 and asked, "What's the difference between these four abilities?" The speed is also average, and the growth cycle is one week; the flight speed of the bee-shaped flying wing is relatively high, and the durability of the membrane wing is also high, and the growth cycle is three months; the flight speed of the ant-shaped flying wing is low, and the durability of the membrane wing The speed is low, but the growth cycle is very short, it only takes eight hours; as for the butterfly wing, because the flying wing is not a membranous wing but a scale wing, no matter the flying speed, durability, or growth cycle, it is not satisfactory. The only benefit is the longer flight duration.The old man said that the spectrum of the butterfly wings on the corpse numbered 8795 was very small, almost negligible.Then, he emphasized: "Of course, if it happens to happen, there is no way."

After listening to the old man's narration, Tie Slag nodded thoughtfully, then continued to read the pamphlet.In the next ten or so pages, there are all kinds of rare abilities, but most of them are repeated, but the probability of obtaining them is a little different. There are no abilities like "Latent Parasite" and "Blade Foot".Flipping and flipping, I turned to the last page.

"That's all? There are no epic and legendary ones?" Iron Slag asked.

"Yes, but it is priceless." The old man replied.

"What do you mean?" Tie Slag asked.

"It means that you can't buy it with money." The old man added, "If you really come from the War Bear Temple, go back and ask your elders and you will understand."

"Anyway, it means not selling it, right?" Tie Slag asked back.

"Yeah." "Can I see it?" "No." The old man flatly refused.

Iron Slag looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, then picked up the booklet and turned to the second page, pointed to the item "No. 8795" and said, "I want this, but I don't have enough money, can it be cheaper? .”

"Young man, the old man gave you this cost price because of your handsome appearance and heroic spirit. Do you know..." The old man waved his hand and said, "My annual maintenance fee is tens of thousands. This price is already very low, it cannot be lowered..."

"Then forget it." Tie Slag spread his hands and said.

"How about this? It's fate to meet you in the vast sea of ​​people. I'll give you three hundred gold cheaper. What do you think?" The old man discussed.Tie Slag shook his head, but said nothing.Seeing this, the old man frowned and thought for a while, then stretched out five fingers, and said loudly with grief on his face, "Five hundred gold! The old blind man is willing to go all out, and I will give you five hundred gold cheaper." Then, he had no choice but to She nodded and sighed, "Okay... If you lose, you lose. Who wants us to be destined?"

"I don't have enough money," Tie Slag said.

"How many do you have?" the old man asked with hope.Iron Slag glanced at the former, opened his palm, and stretched out five fingers.

"How dare five thousand gold come to buy Feiyi?" the old man said in surprise.

"Five hundred..." Tie Slag corrected.

"You..." The old man suddenly opened his mouth wide, with a demented look on his face.Not long after, he recovered from his sluggishness, and said to Tie Slag: "Basic level, how about it, here is a basic level, it will be cheaper for you."

"Not interested." Tie Slag shook his head.

"How about... a flea jump, it only costs three hundred gold." The old man said, lying on the ground to demonstrate, "Look, look, just jump a dozen meters high, just like flying."

"I'm not interested." "Why don't you get an antized muscle, this is the most practical, take a breath first, then let out a loud roar, and suddenly your strength is like a cow, it's just five hundred gold, I'll give you another twenty gold cheaper , how is it?" the old man said excitedly.

"It's useless, let's talk about it later." Tie Slag said.Now I don't have much money on me, and the team's salary is almost out of reach, so I'd better wait until I earn money later.

"Young man, you can't do this. You have to purchase at least one ability to prove that you are a worm." The old man's face darkened, and he said, "Look, I have brought you here, and you can You should show some sincerity."

"Did I force you to bring me here?" Tie Slag frowned and asked.

"Uh..." The old man thought for a while and said sincerely, "Young man, let me tell you the truth, in this sandcastle, only a very small number of worms know the existence of the cold storage, and they will never let this secret out easily. Let it out, so you must prove your identity, or... we will be eternal enemies."

"Can you keep me?" Tie Slag asked in a deep voice.

"When necessary, I will blow up here." The old man replied lightly, although the voice was not loud, but there was an indescribable determination in his tone
"I didn't bring any money, why don't you give me an ability." Tie Slag grinned and suggested.

"You..." The old man suddenly shook his head helplessly like a deflated ball, and said, "If I remember correctly, the last person who knew about the existence of cold storage and went to the Guide Square was Old Locke. As far as I know, his adopted son died half a year ago, and now that he is alive, he should not betray us." Having said this, the old man raised his head, looked at the iron slag with his empty eye sockets, and said solemnly Said, "Now, please tell me, how did you gain the trust of Old Locke?"

Iron Slag hesitated for a moment, recalling what he saw in the Passerby Square that day, finally made up his mind, and slowly took out Kezan's harmonica from his pocket.He believed that the dying old man would not harm him.Because, when he mentioned the Temple of Splendor, he saw dancing flames in the old man's eyes.

That is the purest in the world, the fire of faith.

"This... this is!" The moment Tie Slag took out the silver harmonica, Old Blind was stunned for a moment, his face seemed to freeze, like a picture suddenly frozen, and his body also stiffened accordingly.

In this way, time passed minute by minute in deathly silence...

The old man's sluggish expression gradually turned into incomparable shock.At the same time, he trembled all over, stretched out his skinny hand towards Tie Slag involuntarily, and murmured, "Young man...can...can you show me..."

Tie Slag stared at the harmonica in his hand, remained silent for a while, and finally passed it slowly.The old man stretched out his hands to pick it up, but the moment he was about to touch the harmonica, he suddenly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.Immediately afterwards, he frantically rubbed his hands on the clothes, repeating nervously in a low voice: "The hands of the corpse transporter are too dirty, you can't touch...you can't touch...you can't touch..."

After a while, the old man gradually regained his composure, raised his head, and said to Tie Slag, "Young man, please put away your battle song harmonica, you have already proved your identity."
