Chapter 218: A Different Approach
Moyu really doesn't understand it himself, but Longhua, he currently has a lot of unique information and methods in his hands.
If the aircraft carrier bugs can withstand the power of the dragon, it means that they can turn into dragons like the kobolds.
Once he activates dragon transformation in the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, he can forcibly enslave and control it through the soul mark.
Gavin didn't have any psychological burden when dealing with these stupid magical insects.
However, Gavin did not rashly pour dragon blood potion into these aircraft carrier bugs.
The consequences of doing this are likely to kill them in large numbers or even all of them. After all, all this is Gavin's speculation. They are a group of larvae with relatively weak endurance, and the dragon blood potion is more effective against those with non-dragon veins. Potent poisons are also cruel.
These are the aircraft carrier bug larvae he has in hand. If one dies, one will be lost. The experiment must be cautious.
But the feeding of aircraft carrier larvae has also been adjusted since then.
Not only are they fed a large amount of meat, but they are also fed a large amount of roots, leaves, and sap collected from the mother dragon oak tree.
The purpose is to gradually allow them to absorb part of the dragon-related power on their own to prepare for the later dragon transformation.
Unexpectedly, new changes occurred in this matter when the state of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree was adjusted.
I don’t know if feeding the roots of the dragon oak mother tree for a long time has an effect, or if the aircraft carrier worm itself has higher energy compatibility.
The burst of life force from the Dragon Oak Mother Tree actually had a catalytic effect on them, and signs similar to dragon transformation appeared on their bodies.
Gavin felt that the time was ripe to try filling them with dragon blood potion for a final experiment.
"Let's start!" Gavin waved his hand.
Two kobold breeders carried half of a fat wild boar through the narrow feeding opening and threw it in.
The next second, there was a crash in the cave, followed by terrifying sounds of cutting, biting, and chewing.
Gavin, who was behind the observation window, could clearly see the situation inside.
It is not without reason that the fairies of Spring Bud Forest regard aircraft carrier insects as their formidable enemies.
This magical beast can grow as fast as an insect if it has enough food.
In just two months, they grew from thirty centimeters to two meters, making them stronger than a calf.
The cicada wings faded away, eight claws grew out, and the giant pincers also revealed a ferocious appearance. In addition to being nearly ten times smaller in size, these aircraft carrier insect larvae were already 70 to 80% similar to their mothers.
The biggest difference should be in the abdomen.
Compared with the pot-bellied legendary aircraft carrier bugs, these aircraft carrier bug nymphs have very small abdomens. Although there is a nursery cabin on the back of the abdomen, they are very small and grow together. They naturally have no ability to breed larvae for the time being. Their fame Abilities - Spray larvae and larval swarms, naturally none.
carrier bug nymph
Body shape: medium
Vitality: 69 (Hit Dice: 8D10+24)
Attributes: Strength 18, Agility 12, Constitution 16, Intelligence 2, Perception 12, Charisma 6
Special Abilities: Fear (Ex) - A creature witnessing a carrier bug tearing apart an opponent is likely to be frightened, terrified and trembling.
Tear (Special Ability) - If bitten by an aircraft carrier insect or hit by its claws, it is likely to be directly torn into pieces.
Evasion (Ex) - Ability to avoid damage through agility.
The current aircraft carrier bug nymph is like a ferocious lone hunter. Although no experiments have been conducted, judging from its shape, if you put it together with a tiger, 80% of the ones that will be eaten in the end will be that one. A tiger.
This is another reason why Gavin can't wait to test them.
Fifteen large carnivorous creatures in the growth stage require an astonishing amount of meat every day.
If it has been determined that they can become biological warfare machines, Gavin will accept it even if the consumption is doubled.
But if you continue to invest as a test subject for all unknowns, the cost will only increase.
Roar!
After finishing eating, the aircraft carrier nymph, which had regained its tranquility, suddenly let out a huge roar and ran around like crazy in the prison cave.
Terrifying magic power and emerald green life energy gathered around it, drilling crazily into his body.
During the impact, green acid splashed out from the mouthparts of the aircraft carrier nymph, and the ground scorched with a sizzling sound.
The half of the wild boar just now was added with ingredients, and a small glass ball containing the red copper dragon's blood potion was mixed into it.
The aircraft carrier bug nymphs devoured them all into their stomachs.
The reason why I chose the red copper dragon blood potion instead of the red dragon blood potion.
The first is the red copper dragon blood potion, which comes from the same source as the trunk of the dragon oak mother tree that was previously used as the base.
Second, compared to the red dragon blood potion, the strong acid corrosion of the red copper dragon blood potion is not so high in instant lethality.
Even if it is unsuccessful, if the experimental subjects can persist for a longer period of time, they will be able to collect more experimental data.
boom! boom! boom!
The other aircraft carrier bug nymphs in the prison caves all became equally anxious.
Although they have grown into different individuals, after all, they come from the same source and there is still a certain connection between them.
The aircraft carrier nymphs in the experiment sprayed out more and more strong acid more and more frequently.
Even though the whole body is covered with chitin carapace, it is not difficult to feel the pulsation of the blood vessels in the aircraft carrier nymph's body.
It was as if a monster was trying to crawl out of its body, and the chitinous carapace was pushed up high.
It was as if an invisible big hand was pulling the aircraft carrier worm nymph, stretching its abdomen again and again, and soon the similarity with its mother reached more than 90%, and it was just short of opening the incubator and releasing the larvae.
There is a chance.
Gavin's expression had a hint of joy that could not be concealed.
After the aircraft carrier worm nymph ate the red copper dragon blood potion, it did not immediately petrify from the inside, but was corroded by strong acid, which meant that it was half successful.
Dragon blood potion has a unique prerequisite, that is, dragon vein.
If a creature with dragon vein bloodline inherits it, it is a great tonic that can purify blood and gain more powerful strength.
But if there is no dragon vein bloodline, it is an absolute strong poison. The large amount of dragon attribute magic elements it attracts can kill the drinker from the inside out.
The blood of the copper dragon activates the earth element, not the strong acid element.
When the creatures that take the blood of the copper dragon do not petrify, but begin to have a strong acid reaction inside their bodies.
According to Gavin and his accumulated experience in dragon transformation, the internal structure of this creature is being adjusted under the stimulation of the magic element, and will generate biological strong acid synthesis organs, thus producing strong acid similar to the strong acid dragon breath of the copper dragon.
As long as the aircraft carrier worm nymphs can survive until the organs are produced, the dragon transformation is basically completed.
But this process is not pleasant.
The immature organs allow strong acid to be synthesized directly in the body, which is constantly corroding its interior.
Even for the copper dragon, the strong acid is not produced in the body, stored there, and sprayed out when it is used.
Instead, the magic elements gather in the dragon-based blood vessels until they reach the throat and mouth, and then a magic reaction occurs, either turning into strong acid or into toxic slow gas, all in the mind of the copper dragon.
The dragon breath of other giant dragons is almost the same, and it is the same situation.
Of course, most dragons are immune to the same elemental energy damage as their own dragon breath.
But other dragon vein creatures are not.
At least the aircraft carrier nymphs are not. Under the corrosion of a large amount of strong acid produced in the body, the breath is getting weaker and weaker, the vitality is getting lower and lower, and even the magic transformation has become unstable. The abdomen no longer shows signs of stretching, but shrinks.
"Village Chief Atwood, please cast the Cure Severe Injury on it." Gavin was well prepared and said to the Pixie Druid beside him.
Gavin was afraid that these aircraft carrier worms would not even be able to pass the first level. If that happened, it would mean that the plan would fail completely.
Because most of the dragon veins are congenitally given.
If there is, there is, and if there is not, there is not.
Like Gavin, trying to give dragon blood after birth.
It's not that there is no, but not many, usually the work of the followers of the Dragon Queen Tiamat.
Seriously speaking, this evil dragon queen has already started her experiment of breeding the descendants of evil dragons in Faerun in secret.
Known as the Mother of Dragons, she does have a unique advantage in this regard. Most of the descendants of evil dragons, dragon beasts, and dragon veins in Faerun can be traced back to her and her evil experiments.
If there is a chance in the future, I must learn from her believers.
It happened that Gavin knew the location of one of the main bases where the evil dragon queen cultivated the descendants of evil dragons.
That is, Gavin still had the mind to think about other things, and the attention of others was on the aircraft carrier worm nymph.
After hearing the voice, the village chief Atwood personally took action and two consecutive treatments for severe injuries fell on the aircraft carrier worm nymph.
The gentle emerald green light went in and out of the aircraft carrier worm nymph, and even the emerald green life energy of the dragon oak mother tree was attracted and joined the ranks.
Priests and druids can also use treatment for severe injuries, and the treatment effect is basically the same.
People who don’t understand think that this is the same kind of spell.
In fact, there is a difference between the two in essence.
Priests attract positive energy, while druids attract natural forces.
In terms of treatment, the difference between the two is not very big, just one is relatively domineering, and the other is relatively gentle.
However, when facing undead creatures infused with negative energy, the difference between the two is obvious. The treatment of severe injuries guided by the priest directly becomes a lethal spell, and it is still an extremely powerful one.
The treatment guided by the druid is not without any effect, but it is very poor.
However, in the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, the healing spells cast by the druid are more advantageous than those of the priest.
The life force here will respond to this healing spell and make its effect reach the extreme, just like casting the super magic feat: spell extreme effect.
Take the treatment of severe injuries cast by the village chief Atwood, for example. He is a ninth-level druid. Under normal circumstances, the healing effect is about 21 (3d8+9).
Now it has become everything to the extreme 3*8+9=33, instead of 3*8/2+9=21.
The carrier worm's painful screams suddenly weakened a lot, and its spirit and energy were restored a lot. The look it gave to the village chief Atwood was less fierce, and more of a plea for help.
The village chief Atwood was shocked involuntarily, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This abnormal reaction did not escape Gavin's high perception, and he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Atwood said in an incredible tone: "I just got a hint that I can sign a professional contract with this aircraft carrier nymph and transform it into my animal companion."
Turning an aircraft carrier nymph into a druid animal companion is unprecedented in the Fey Wilds.
Atwood had never seen or heard of it.
"Animal companion?" Hearing this answer, Gavin was obviously stunned for a moment. This was completely beyond his expectations.
But the next second, his eyes sparkled.
Because he thought of the benefits of this.
