Above The Sky

The storm outside the window was fading, and the terrifying hurricane turned after hitting the mountains.

The wind speed has weakened, but the rainfall has become more and more incredible. It seems that after the wind that was enough to lift half of the South China Sea into the sky left, the seawater originally suspended in the sky fell back to the earth and ocean.

As if a meteorite fell, large chunks of water fell on the ground and roof, causing the stone-built houses to shake slightly.

"This is……"

Inside the house, squinting, Hilliard took off his dry coat, raised his hand, the golden Origin Quality radiance lit up, and then slapped his palm on the wall of the house casually.

In an instant, the moaning house suddenly stopped shaking, and the sound of wind and rain from the outside became much smaller, as if there were several more walls, which were weakened layer by layer.

"Really extraordinary."

Hilliard came to Ian's side, he leaned down, carefully observed the crystallized flesh and blood in the boy's hand, and couldn't help but praised from the bottom of his heart: "This is a really good thing, a fragment of the source thymus gland of the second-level peak Warcraft. ... Ian, how did you get it? If it wasn't for the fatal injury, it would never have been possible to knock out a monster's thymus!"

"Is the thymus gland?" Ian couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the teacher reveal the real body of crystallized flesh in his hand. He lowered his head, stared at the blue-red flesh on the table, and said, "This is too big!"

The thymus gland is generally located below the thyroid gland. It is a fragile thin tissue. It is the earliest mature immune organ in most living organisms. It is only possible to produce giant monsters like dragons.

The main function of the thymus is to produce hormones and catalyze hematopoietic stem cells into primitive T cells (a type of immune cell), which is a very important part of the biological immune system.

"Is such that."

Ian pondered the vocabulary, then went to the tower, fired the alchemy cannon with the help of the guards stationed in the city, and assisted Viscount Grant to defeat the crocodile dragon and told Hilliard completely: "It's not going to kill, but I feel that the cannonball. It should have been shot into the lungs of Crocodile Dragon."

"...Are you going to aim and fire the artillery?"

After listening, Hilliard's expression became subtle.

He frowned, looked at Ian, and said somewhat incredulously: "Didn't you say that the alchemy artillery was not operated and repaired by Elder Pude?"

"The first time you actually operate, how dare you take a risk!"

--is it hard? Aiming, firing and firing are all monkeys use.

Although I thought so in my mind, Ian just said honestly: "Maybe I'm smarter, I'll see it after seeing it?"

"If you have seen it, you will know it. If you have used it, it is a unique skill. If you hit it, you will be a perfect one. How can you be the same as those old bastards bragging."

Shaking his head slightly, originally, the old knight wanted to scold Ian.

This kid, without even looking at how much he weighs, dares to fire a cannon to face a second-level peak, there is a high probability that he can advance to the third-level monster?

It would be a euphemism to say that he is not afraid of death, he was not so courageous back then!

Although very angry, seeing Ian's well-behaved and sensible expression, sitting upright, and looking at him expectantly, Hilliard couldn't get angry again, and just sighed.

"Forget it, you won anyway."

He stretched out his hand and rubbed the boy's hair fiercely: "I guess, you also know the consequences of your actions, just make your own judgment."

"But remember, if it is really invincible, running away is the choice that really requires courage."

After the boy answered softly, Hilliard let go and sat down at the table to examine Ian's booty in further detail.

"The swamp crocodile has an extremely strong immunity, almost ignoring most natural toxins and diseases. Its thymus hormones can induce the maturation of several different powerful immune cells, and it is even more effective against parasites and miasma in the tropics. "

While checking, Hilliard explained to Ian: "These are just the basics, when the thymus of the Crocodile Dragon is transformed into a complete sublimation organ when it reaches the second energy level, it will gradually transform into the crystal flesh tissue in your hand. "

"At that time, it can not only regulate immunity, but also interact with the heart and modify the blood composition, so that it has a certain disinfection ability, and it can also greatly accelerate the speed of wound healing."

"This crocodile dragon is close to the third energy level. His internal organs are condensing the 'phase element structure'. The phase structure in this thymus is very complete. This is your biggest gain this time!"

"It's actually like this..." Looking at the blue-red flesh on the table, Ian thought of the orange-red plasma splashed under the scales when the crocodile dragon invaded Harrison Harbor and was hit by the artillery.

Indeed, that small wound heals quickly.

Even the shot that he hit the key point and the sword that Viscount Grant almost cut off the midfoot did not cause it to lose too much blood and affect the ability to escape.

And the mud shield covering the crocodile dragon's whole body is even more powerful. Even the electric heat gun that can shoot supersonic shells can't completely break through the defense.

As for the cells and hormones that appeared in the teacher's mouth...

With the level of technology that Terra Continent is showing today, Hilliard doesn't know about cells and hormones, but it's strange.

Especially the sublimator, a skill that is obviously closely related to the level of biotechnology, and may even involve deep-level genetic modification.

"Well, it can be used as the main ingredient for your future potion."

In the end, Hilliard made a judgment: "The Swamp Crocodile Dragon is an earth monster with certain water attribute characteristics, and its talent 'Fertile Soil' needs to control the source quality of both water and soil elements at the same time, otherwise, it cannot control the mud as a Your own shield just serves as a cover for your 'Legacy of the Wave Chanter'."

"Although for ordinary sublimators, using the material of the second energy level peak as the base of the first energy level is a bit overkill, but if you really want to go down the road of 'immovable fortress', such The extra effort is a must.”

The more powerful it is, the more expensive it is.

Turning to look at Ian, the old knight was half telling, half warning: "As compensation for the price, when you are at the first energy level, you can make your source quality have obvious attributes."

"This is both a benefit and a risk. If you are not a psionicist, and you are just a civilian, I will not let you take this extreme path."

Originium also has different properties.

Just as human beings live in different regions, there are different signs, so life itself is different, so the source quality extracted by each person is naturally different.

——In Terragu mythology, the breath, soul, flesh, and blood of the heavenly father are transformed into four heavens and four quarters and four celestial beings, and the four heavenly celestial beings are intertwined and entangled, forming a thousand winds and shining suns under the sky, and the earth and the The sea is the origin of the four genera of wind, fire, earth and water.

Origin quality with different attributes has different aspects of strengthening the human body. Earth focuses on endurance and physical strength, water is more inclined to regeneration and life extension, wind is good at self-enhancement and unloading, and fire has the most diverse explosive power and destruction methods, but it is also the most unstable. .

Ian himself is still young and does not often go out to work, so he is not affected much by the subtle influence of the environment, but after all, he has lived by the sea for nearly ten years, and the original source is biased towards water and wind.

So after he extracted the Origin Essence, the wounds on his body healed quickly, and he could improve his strength.

However, attributes are not innate, nor are they absolute.

If Ian now settles next to a volcano, eats local food, and breathes volcanic smog, it won't take a few months for his natural source to transform into fire and earth.

Compared with the innate tendency, the choice of the person itself is more important - rather, doesn't the innate attributes of the person also depend on the choice of the parents? .

"Is there an obvious attribute source... It is indeed very powerful and dangerous."

Ian has a very deep memory of the many sublimated common senses that Hilliard taught him, and he is very aware of the nature of 'attributes'.

That is the interaction with nature.

The Swamp Crocodile is a magical beast dominated by soil and water. It will never leave the swamp in the jungle area in its entire life. This is not only because it is adapted to this environment, but also because only in such an environment, it can become more powerful.

Just like when a crocodile dragon enters a city, it can be fossilized into mud, and the rocks and mud can be turned into its own skin and shield - if it is in a swamp or deep in a mountain, how much will the difficulty increase?

While changing the natural environment, you also make yourself more adaptable to nature.

But on the other hand, if the crocodile dragon goes to the sea and fights in the snow-capped mountains and volcanic areas, it will exert up to 30 to 40% of its combat power. After a long time, it will even be unable to synthesize the special sources required by various sublimation organs in the body. Quality, 'starved' there.

Therefore, even if it has to relocate, the crocodile dragon will choose desert oases, or areas such as coastal tidal flats... If it cannot be satisfied, even if it is lucky enough to survive, the bloodline will deteriorate, and the descendants will not be able to inherit the bloodline characteristics of the beast, and gradually retreat. Turn back to the normal beast crocodile.

'Fujian Fortress' is the true inheritance of the earth genus. If the material of the crocodile dragon is used as the main material of the potion, Ian's source substance will be converted into the earth genus, so that the physical quality will be improved in all directions, and in the presence of soil The rocky environment is dominant, and the source material in the body will be more active.

This is the advantage of Attribute Essence.

"The earth attribute is actually good. After all, as long as you are on the planet, you can't really leave the earth."

Ian knows that risk is accompanied by opportunity, and power and cost coexist - attribute tendencies that should only appear at the second energy level, he can master at the first energy level, which is naturally an excellent opportunity to exercise in advance.

In the future, when he advances to the second energy level, he can quickly master many skills that should be mastered after a long time, and he can speed up a lot compared to others.

But the first energy level is also far less resistant to the environment than the second energy level...

"It's a trade-off." Ian knows this very well: "At most, stay away from the ocean in the future."

The near sea is not a big problem. The sand armor apprentice can reduce the frequency of breathing. As long as it is not too deep and too far from the land, even if they cannot swim, they can walk all the way back to the shore from the bottom of the sea.

In short.

The environment in Port Harrison is not extremely harsh, but it is not safe either.

Not to mention, if after taking the potion, he can have the ability to call the crocodile dragon to protect his body even if it is a little bit, his safety and survival ability will be greatly enhanced.

"Let me handle it. Your current level of alchemy is not enough to handle this level of monster material."

Hilliard clapped the table, and Ian had no objection, rather, that was what he originally thought.

With his current level of alchemy, he is naturally able to handle the materials of low-level monsters like the Reef Devouring Sea Otter, but the Marsh Crocodile Dragon is unlikely.

Mainly because he hasn't learned it yet.

However, just when the old knight was about to put away the crystallized thymus of the Crocodile Dragon, Ian noticed something wrong when he inadvertently looked up at his teacher's face.

"Wait, teacher..."

He stared straight at Hilliard's face, and Ian frowned: "The wrinkles on your face..."
