Doomsday Totem

Chapter 227 Destiny
After Tie Slag put away the harmonica, Old Blind took a deep breath and sighed, "It's been 80 years, this is the second time I've seen a Zhange harmonica, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."

"Nancheng? The Nancheng of Beihuang?" Tie Slag asked.

"Yes, that's where I was born and grew up..." the old blind man said slowly, deep thoughts seemed to flow out of his empty eye sockets, "Oh... I haven't been back for many years, and I don't want to go back. I know it's still the same..."

Hearing the old man's emotion, Tie Slag didn't know what to say, so he chose to remain silent.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the old blind man woke up from the memories of the past, smiled at Tie Slag, and said, "Sorry, I'm getting older, I always remember some past events, and I kept you waiting for a long time."

"It's okay." Tie Slag waved his hand and asked again, "Then, can I go?"

"Young man, as the owner of the Warsong Harmonica, you can come and go at any time, and the door of the cold storage is always open for you." After finishing speaking, the old blind man pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How much do you have for your harmonica?" Has anyone seen it?"

"Very little." Iron Slag replied truthfully.Indeed, he has only taken it out twice so far.

"Don't let people see it easily outside. This is a big taboo in the temple. Once they find out, they will chase and kill them regardless of the consequences." The old blind man said sincerely in a sincere tone.

"En." Tie Slag nodded seriously.

"Young man, whatever ability you want, please choose one." Old Blind said.

"I have no money." Tie Slag grinned and said.

"This is a gift from the humble corpse transporter to the guardian of the holy wolf. Please accept it." Old Blind said solemnly.Hearing what the old man said, Tie Slag was not polite, he directly picked up the booklet, pointed to the item "No. 8795" just now and said, "I want this."

"Why didn't you consider the 'Cicada Flying Wings' at the back?" Old Blind asked.In fact, there are two other numbered corpses that also have worm-like wings, and they are the fastest-flying "cicada-like wings", but the spectra of the cicada-like wings and butterfly-like wings are relatively similar, with a probability of 50 each. %, Iron Slag dare not bet.

"I have a corpse here, I'm [-]% sure it's a cicada turned into a flying wing, are you interested?" Old Blind added.

Tie Slag hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Forget it, let's do this." He had seen the introduction of the cicada's flying wings just now, and the growth cycle of the membranous wings was half a year, which was really too long.Even if the flying speed is much faster, it can't be faster than the psychic power armor.Therefore, this ability still supports more than fighting.

"By the way, do you have basic level abilities?" Old Blind asked suddenly.

"I don't need it, the basic ability is useless." Iron Slag replied.

"Do you want to hear my opinion?" Old Blind smiled slightly, putting it off.Iron Slag nodded, and then, Old Blind slowly analyzed.

First of all, among the insectification abilities, the lower the ability, the greater the changes to the body structure, and the more improvements it gets.Since Iron Slag is a compound evolutionary, he feels that basic abilities are useless.Assuming that two wormers with a single worming ability are duel, in most cases, the one with the basic ability will win.

In comparison, the more advanced the insectification ability, the higher the degree of integration with human genes, but the abilities of the legendary level and the epic level are basically auxiliary and boosting, and cannot directly participate in the battle.Therefore, in terms of combat, basic and rare abilities are particularly important.

Secondly, in terms of the stability of the gene chain, the diamond array can be compatible with six abilities, while the more advanced "absolute barrier" can be compatible with seven abilities, and the highest-level "eternal immortality" can be compatible with eight abilities.Although it has not been tested by a detector for the stability of the gene chain, it can be preliminarily determined that the iron slag can hold at least six insectification abilities.

Old Blind suggested that if he didn't have a basic ability, he should absorb one, which would be of great help in improving his overall combat power.

"I can only absorb two more abilities." Iron Slag said.His tendencies are wings and venom, preferably the captain's "anteater venom".In this way, his army of soldier ants has the ability to fly and has poisonous glands, which can greatly improve the efficiency of detection and the success rate of sneak attacks.

"Hmm..." Old Blind thought for a while, nodded and said, "Let's absorb the Flying Wing first, and then make plans for the next step depending on the specific situation." After speaking, Old Blind approached the wall and fumbled for the nameplate on the metal drawer.Not long after, Old Blind found the nameplate numbered "8795", then groped down to the pull ring, and pulled out the metal drawer on the wall.

I saw a frozen male body lying in the big drawer, about 20 years old.Afterwards, Old Blind Called Tie Slag to help, and took out the corpse.Then, the two walked to the other end of the passage, Old Blind groped for a while on the metal wall, and opened a small door.

After entering the door is a small room with a metal disc in the middle.Old Blind Eye signaled Iron Slag to put the corpse on the disk, and then activated the heating switch.With the fall of the switch, hundreds of red lights fell from the ceiling, shining on the cold corpse, and the temperature in the small room began to heat up rapidly.The two immediately left the small room, closed the door and waited outside.

About half an hour later, the two returned to the small room again.At this time, the corpse on the metal disc had thawed, and the blood flowed down the gap of the disc to the ground.Old Blind went up to check, then turned off the heater and exited the small room.After the old blind man left, Tie Slag stepped onto the disc, knelt down halfway, then stretched out his left hand and placed it on the corpse.

Not long after, countless small bright red blood vessels protruded from his wrist, like living creatures, scrambling to penetrate into the flesh and blood of the corpse...

After more than ten minutes, Tie Zha's lips turned pale, his face was black and blue, and fine cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his whole body was trembling slightly, as if he was so weak that he would collapse at any moment.After a few more minutes, one after another the small blood vessels retracted into the wrist one after another, and as they returned, Iron Slag's face gradually turned rosy.

After the small blood vessels were all retracted into the body, Iron Slag stood up.At this time, he felt a slight itching from the two shoulder blades, just like the feeling he felt when he used the blade to knuckle.He quickly took off his shirt, exposing his back.Immediately afterwards, he tensed the muscles on his back, clenched his fists and exerted force suddenly!

With a loud shout, four slender tubes rushed out from the shoulder blades on the back.I saw that the tube was long and short, translucent, covered with bloodshot and transparent mucus.After rushing out of the body, the tube split into countless tiny wing veins, which gradually stretched out.If you look closely, there is a translucent film between the wing veins.After a few seconds, the cylinder fanned out, forming two pairs of membranous wings, one long and one short.

Then, the two pairs of membrane wings vibrated at a very high frequency.Suddenly, a huge wind pressure swept the entire room.At the same time, the iron slag slowly lifted off the ground, suspended in the air half a meter high.Because it was too narrow, he quickly gave up trying and fell back to the ground.

After walking out of the small room, the old blind man came up to him, stretched out his thumb and said, "Young man, you are lucky."

"What kind of ability is this?" Iron Slag asked, looking sideways at Membrane Wing behind him.

"Ants turn into flying wings." Old Blind replied.

"That's really good." Iron Slag stretched out his hand to smooth the thin membranous wings, and said.Then, he tensed his back muscles and shrank forcefully, and the two pairs of membranous wings immediately separated from his body and fell down.He had tried it, the membranous wings were not like his blades, once they were unfolded they couldn't be retracted into the body.For now, concealment is the number one priority, so the Antification Flying Wing with a shorter growth cycle best meets his needs.

After the membrane wings fell off, Iron Slag picked them up and examined them carefully.I saw that the membranous wing surface was covered with criss-crossing wing veins.These wing veins act like a skeleton.It plays a role in supporting and reinforcing the wing surface, and is also related to the torsional movement of the wing during flight.Often the tougher the membranous wings, the denser the veins will be.Compared with cicadas or bees, the wing veins of ants are relatively sparse, but compared with mosquitoes, they can be regarded as dense.In addition, Iron Slag noticed that the edges of the membranous wings were covered with tiny spikes. It was estimated that this was the change brought about by the joints of his blades. He didn't know whether the life of his gnats had also been affected.

After more than ten minutes, Iron Slag and Old Blind returned to the hut on the ground, and made an appointment to come back next time.Because genetic plunder consumes a lot of physical strength, and it takes a period of time for a stable period to integrate new abilities, so he cannot absorb abilities continuously.At the same time, this is also his common sense as a wormer. The continuous absorption ability can easily disrupt the sequence of mutated genes and human genes, which will lead to the complete collapse of the gene chain.

Walking out of the hut, he saw Xiaoyue was standing in the morning light with her hands behind her back, shaking her body gently.

"Let's go." Tie Slag beckoned, then led her into the old street, and returned by the same route.Two hours later, the two returned to the shopping street in the east of the city.Before breaking up, Tie Zha lightly patted Xiaoyue on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Thank you for what happened today."

"Thank you?" Xiaoyue asked with a sweet smile.

"Without your trust, we would probably fight." After finishing speaking, Tie Slag took out the money bag and handed it over, and then said, "Friend, here is fifty gold, let's use it to live first, maybe...you should change it job."

Xiaoyue didn't take the money bag, instead she took a step back, looked sideways at the passers-by on the street, and said quietly: "I can't take your money, and I won't change jobs. Old Street never raises money." Useless people, this has been the rule for hundreds of years."

"Why can't you change jobs?" Tie Slag pointed to the gun not far away and said, "Isn't it good to be a shopping guide?"

Xiaoyue turned her head and stared at him quietly...

Suddenly, she smiled slightly and said: "As long as you can afford the money, she will sleep with you. You know, there has never been a priceless woman in Fengsha Castle."

"Why?" Tie Slag asked puzzled.

"In order to survive..." After finishing speaking, Xiaoyue bowed to him, then turned and left.

Watching the girl's slender figure disappear into the bustling crowd of people, Tie Slag took a deep breath, only feeling a tightness in his chest.Perhaps, this is the so-called fate...
