Do not die

Meng Zhou didn't say much, and took out eighteen first-order middle-grade talisman materials from the storage bag and piled them all in the stone chamber.

The rope spirit Bai Ya wrapped around his wrist had already traced a trajectory in the void for the first time, circling left and right. Soon, its long rope entangled three spiritual materials in it.

Like pythons strangling their prey, they wrap around the spiritual material and continue to devour the spirituality within it, constantly shrinking, and the areas where the complete spiritual material has lost its spirituality continue to turn into powder and fall down.

With the influx of more spirits, the rope spirit became thicker at a visible speed.

But soon, the thickened rope spirit became thin again, and the two ends of the rope began to extend continuously. They raised up like a snake body, swayed left and right, as if to explore, and then accurately attached to two new spiritual materials.

The original three spiritual materials are becoming smaller and smaller, and gradually move towards the center as the rope shrinks.

The feeling that this moment gave Meng Zhou was like the process of a python swallowing its prey and transporting the still-not-dead prey from the esophagus to the depths of the body bit by bit.

Meng Zhou just watched silently as the rope moved among the spiritual materials, swallowing them one by one.

Until the tenth spiritual material disappeared, Bai Ya, who had been concentrating on "eating and drinking", seemed to finally take a breath, and a voice directly sounded in his mind: "Ah, I'm alive!"

Seeing that she had recovered, Meng Zhou was afraid that she would go to sleep again after eating, so he quickly asked in his heart:

"Bai Ya, why are you either sleeping or eating? Can't you stay awake for a while?"

Bai Ya gave an answer that surprised him: "Uncle, I couldn't wake up. At least, I shouldn't wake up now."

"What do you mean?" Meng Zhou was confused. You are already awake. What are you talking about that you shouldn't be talking about?

However, as Bai Ya explained further, Meng Zhou also understood the meaning of her words.

Her deep sleep is just an appearance. Behind this appearance is growth and digestion.

Because she had reached a contract with Meng Zhou before she woke up, and in the midst of chaos, she formed a relationship with him similar to a natal magic weapon or a contracted spirit beast.

The only way for her to grow and progress is to improve as the level of Meng Zhou's knot master increases.

This process will not be easy.

If she wants to form a clear spiritual intelligence again, it will never be possible at the first level, and it will have to be at least the second level or later.

But she happened to awaken a clear spiritual intelligence at the first-level low-grade stage.

"That statue is very strange!"

"It's like a fine veil of mist, with a layer of ownerless divine will hanging over it!"

At that time, the consciousness was still a chaotic rope spirit, driven by instinct to devour those masterless spirits.

This is the foundation that carries her clear mind and the reason why she wakes up so early.

However, it is precisely for this reason that she is like a premature baby, born early when she should not be born.

Now this "body" does not match her intelligence, so she has to fall into a long sleep.

Only by sleeping deeply can she properly accelerate the growth of her "body" while ensuring her own condition, so as to achieve the matching balance between "body" and "spirit" as soon as possible.

After describing her own condition, Bai Ya couldn't help but sigh:

"Fortunately, I met such a statue early. Otherwise, if I woke up naturally after the second level, I wouldn't know if it was me or someone else."

Meng Zhou suddenly said inexplicably: "Bai Ya."

"ah?"

"Why do I feel that you have become much more mature after waking up this time than when you were alive?"

Faced with this question, Bai Ya responded calmly without any panic: "Uncle, this is the price I pay for dying once!"

"What's the meaning?"

"I don't know how I became like this, but I know now that before I became a rope and my mind didn't wake up, something was passing by every moment."

"The first thing to be lost is the most useless childishness and innocence."

"So, uncle.

I have not become mature, I am no longer a child. "

After listening to Bai Ya's explanation, Meng Zhou remained silent.

But many new questions arise in my mind.

For example, what he is most curious about now: Bai Ya, is it really Bai Ya?

Or is it just a copy and paste of the real Bai Ya by some special or weird phenomenon?

For another example, Bai Ya said that since she was transformed into a rope, her humanity has continued to disappear.

This sounds strange at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it is simply the most natural thing.

Discussing human nature on a rope, regardless of one's identity and body, is as absurd as discussing truth without facts.

If he still insists that Bai Ya, the rope spirit, maintain the human character of the little girl Bai Ya in his memory, this is a typical case of seeking a sword at the seams.

The little girl has turned into a rope, she is still human, and her "rope nature" is almost the same.

But if this is the case, then now that I am communicating with myself, except that my thinking and tone have become more mature, it seems that I am not much different from a real person.

Is she really like this, or is she just maintaining a certain established personality like an intelligent program?

All kinds of messy thoughts emerged in his mind, making Meng Zhou almost fall into the entanglement of "who am I?"

He shook his head hard, getting rid of these thoughts that were almost like a source of pollution from his mind, and he didn't really ask these doubts.

Because there is no point in worrying about this. If you really have to follow some ultimate thinking, everyone's thoughts and body cells are in the endless changes of change and reorganization, death and rebirth anytime and anywhere.

The thoughts of the last moment are not the thoughts of this moment; the body of the last moment is not the body of this moment.

Therefore, the person you were at the last moment is not the person you are at this moment.

The moment a person thinks of "self", that "self" has already died.

Meng Zhou himself was unwilling to pursue such issues in depth. He was worried that thinking too much about such issues would burn out his brain.

He was like this. If Bai Ya was embarrassed by such a problem, Meng Zhou was worried that she would tie herself into a knot that could never be untied.

If so, it would be unethical.

Just when these messy thoughts were entangled in his mind, Bai Ya's voice sounded in his mind: "Uncle, is there anything to eat?"

"ah?"

Meng Zhou woke up suddenly and looked intently. She had actually eaten all the eighteen first-order middle-grade spiritual materials, and there was no trace left.

"You...you have too much appetite!"

Bai Ya's huge appetite made Meng Zhou naturally think about the difficulty of feeding her in the future.

For just a moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of spiritual stones and spiritual materials, and other distracting thoughts were instantly washed away.

"I eat a lot, but I also grow fast!" Bai Ya defended.

Meng Zhouyi saw that her information, which was originally only "First Level 32/100", had now changed to "First Level 33/100", which was another step forward.

"Under normal circumstances, my current growth progress is at most the same level as your knot master, which can only be regarded as a first-level low-grade quality.

But now, as long as there is enough supply, I can break through to the first-level mid-level immediately.

If you can always ensure that there is no shortage of spiritual materials, I can advance to the second level before you! "

Having said this, Bai Ya said proudly: "I have a big appetite, you should be lucky!"

With her tone, Meng Zhou immediately thought of the image of her leaning back and holding her arms with both hands.

"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance."

Meng Zhou rejoiced in his heart and took out four first-order high-grade spiritual materials from the storage bag. Bai Ya immediately controlled the rope and wrapped it around him.

We can't really delay Bai Ya's growth, but Meng Zhou is still unforgiving.

"But even if you grow to the second level, what's the use of it?"

Bai Ya hummed twice and asked instead, "What's the use of knotting hundreds of tricks?"

"Uh..." Meng Zhou was dumbfounded.

This was the question Bai Ya asked when he briefly woke up last time.

After her explanation and his experience over the past few days, Meng Zhou already knew that it was like a compass and a ruler, with different ways of playing in the hands of different people.

For ordinary people, the effect is just that. If you are not skillful in using it, you may find it an obstruction.

But in the hands of a mathematician, its power is greater than any magical weapon in the world.

Bai Ya continued to say aggrievedly to Bala: "I'm just a rope. What's the use of me? It's not you who has the final say?"

Meng Zhou was embarrassed.

"There's always something you're good at."

"Isn't it obvious? I am a rope, and of course I am best at tying people up."

With a "pop" sound, Meng Zhouyi clapped his hands and said happily: "Okay, I get it!"

Bai Ya's simple and straightforward answer sounded like Meng Zhou had asked a stupid question.

But Meng Zhou's consideration is that the rope spirit Bai Yake is completely different from the ordinary rope.

If you don't ask and let her confirm it for yourself, who knows what she is good at?

She's so sharp-tongued, maybe she's good at taunting and inciting hatred, or maybe she's a girl who sings and dances, who knows.

Now that she had confirmed it with her own words, his thoughts were completely clear.

"Tie people up, tie people up..."

Meng Zhou whispered in his heart over and over again, and various binding techniques appeared in his mind.

At this moment, his inspiration spurted out like a fountain, and he couldn't stop it!

At this moment, all four first-order high-grade spiritual materials had been absorbed by Bai Ya. She yawned and said:

"Goodbye uncle, I'm going to bed again.

You can prepare more food next time, so that I will grow faster. "

Bai Ya's voice that sounded directly in his mind became smaller and smaller, and finally, it could no longer be heard.

"Rope Spirit Level 1: 36/100"

"Eighteen copies of first-order mid-grade spiritual materials and four copies of first-order high-grade spiritual materials, raising her from 26/100 to 36/100... This consumption is not too exaggerated."

Meng Zhou found a comforting point in his summary.

It must be emphasized here that although Bai Ya was awakened from hunger on "32/100", since she started a new round of sleep on "26/100", the missing spirituality needs to be passed through this time. Eat" to make up for it.

Therefore, the spiritual material she absorbed this time provided her spiritual needs from "First Level 26/100" to "First Level 36/100", rather than "First Level 32/100" to "First Level 36/100" Between 36/100”.

Bai Ya has fallen asleep again, and Meng Zhou is holding a string in his hand that is only more than one meter long and much thinner than his little finger.

He held the rope and weighed it in his hands, thinking, make it longer.

The string, which was just over one meter long, became over two meters long.

Then, he thought, be rougher.

Soon, the rope thinner than the little finger turned into a veritable hemp rope with the end thicker than the thumb.

Although Bai Ya was asleep, it did not change the fact that the string in her hand was bound to her by an oath.

Holding a hemp rope in his hand, Meng Zhou looked around, as if he wished a person or a monster would pop out immediately.

The so-called holding a sharp knife and murderous intention arises from the beginning.

He held a sword in his hand that was as sharp as iron, and he wanted to try cutting it wherever he went.

In the same way, at this moment, Meng Zhou was holding a first-class middle-grade hemp rope in his hand, and he wanted to jump out immediately and blind his eyes.
