Chapter 119 Chapter 118: Mutated horny skin
If it were Mu Hua's previous life, the magic of horny skin should be a biochemical genetic secret.
It requires the relatively complete skin of other creatures, not just to put the skin on the caster's body, but to obtain a complete genetic sample of the skin tissue.
Of course, the above statement is pure nonsense. In this world, horny skin means more than 90% of the skin of the same organism. It doesn't matter whether it is the surface layer, the true layer, the deep layer, or it is tattered, as long as there is enough.
The Minotaur has extraordinary defense capabilities. Even if it dies, Mu Hua seems to be powerless against it.
"Master, how about I try to tear it apart again?" Knowing Mu Hua's needs on Monday, he volunteered, his eyes involuntarily aimed at an indescribable place.
"Get out!" Mu Hua cursed.
Although it seemed that he had made some bad decisions just now, Mu Hua said that they were forced.
Now that you have killed others, you still want to cause chaos? This is the medium for your own horny skin. . . Well, it’s not the media’s problem, it’s mainly because the deceased is the boss, and it’s wrong to continue to mess around.
The Minotaur was slightly taller than the black-armored skeleton general, but his shoulders were four and a half meters wide, making him a truly big man.
If it doesn't work, go out and find a weapon with cutting or penetrating properties? Who can I borrow a holy sword from?
Mu Hua scratched his head for a while.
If you don’t do it, you will never stop doing it, for the sake of horny skin!
simply! Mu Hua was going to try all the Minotaurs as a medium. If there were too many, he would return them. There would never be too many.
The magic circle soaring into the sky rose in the center of the arena. The seven-layer magic circle enveloped Mu Hua and the Minotaur. The halo of magic seemed to build a sacred temple in the void.
Mu Hua had always thought that this was an evil magic. Not to mention the accompanying ghostly cries and howls, there should have been waves of blood and death.
But the sacred scene in front of him really surprised Mu Hua. The stacks of magic circles rising into the sky were like a compressor, sucking the magic power from the outside into the 'hall'.
For a moment, Mu Hua's consciousness was in a trance, as if he was in a sea of liquefied magic. It was erratic, comfortable, and slightly itchy. Mu Hua gradually lost control of his body.
Is there such a big movement in horny skin? Maybe it's because of the environment of the Abyss Island? Or maybe it's because the quality of this Minotaur is too high?
With unanswerable questions, Mu Hua's consciousness seemed to have fallen into nothingness in a daze.
At this time, outside the magic circle, in the eyes of Monday and Tuesday, the bodies of Mu Hua and the Minotaur were shrouded in dark magic, and the two individuals were connected by countless mysterious tentacles.
Seven magic arrays of different sizes rise up and down, set off by the magic halo, like a precise instrument constantly scanning the space in the 'hall'.
Time passed, one day, two days, five days, ten days, thirty days, sixty days, until the sixty-sixth day, the magic circle that made so much noise on the island of the abyss finally changed its eternal rhythm.
The seven-layer magic circle dissipated one by one, and the fragmentation of each magic circle brought out a strong wind filled with magic power.
In the formation, the qualitative magic power surrounding Mu Hua faded away, and the bodies of Mu Hua and the Minotaur reappeared in sight on Monday and Tuesday.
Mu Hua has not changed at all, he is still naked, with a human head, a human face, sound limbs, and healthy and delicate skin.
At this time, the appearance of the Minotaur changed drastically.
Not only was the skin missing, the originally strong and solid tendons were like mummies that had been drained of moisture. Black and purple dried muscles, like dry and decaying bark.
The originally six-meter-tall body shrunk to just over three meters tall. The whole body was complete, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of deformity and distortion.
"Master?" Monday and Tuesday ran to Mu Hua, but they did not feel that Mu Hua was in any danger.
But as demons with a long heritage, they have a concept of horny skin.
Demons like horny skin, and things that prey on powerful races and perfect their own flaws.
But the problem is, they don't know that horny skin can make such a noise.
Look what this has done to a good Minotaur. It was not just the skin that was promised. . . ?
Monday and Tuesday looked at Mu Hua with concern. They wanted to see if Mu Hua had turned into a Minotaur.
If Mu Hua turns into a demon, then... . . marvelous!
"Well, I'm fine. A small accident, a great accident." Mu Hua slowly opened his eyes, as if he had not experienced the passage of time.
Very good, Mu Hua is still Mu Hua, and should still be human. Monday and Tuesday were a little disappointed, not malicious, they just preferred that their master was a devil.
"Accident? Master, this..." The family members were confused. Tuesday pointed to the side of the Minotaur, which had shrunk severely and could no longer recognize its original race, and reminded Mu Hua.
"Tsk, why did it end up like this?" Mu Hua turned his head and glanced at the Minotaur's corpse, tutting his tongue in regret.
"The magic of horny skin is really not simple." Looking back at his family, Mu Hua stretched out his hand to look at his palm and explained with a chuckle.
"It should be caused by the environment here, the abnormal magic environment, and the complete demon body."
"Kereous skin not only absorbs the skin properties of the Minotaur."
"Including its muscles, bones, internal organs, and the characteristics related to the physical body have also been absorbed and transformed." Mu Hua clenched his fists and felt the power that seemed to have not changed.
"Muscles? Bones? Master, are you now... a human, or a Minotaur?" Zhou Zhou shook his head and asked in confusion.
"Of course it's a human being. The horny skin will not change the root cause. It just strengthens my flesh and blood organs." Mu Hua rolled his eyes.
"However, my current physical growth potential should be considered equivalent to a Minotaur, right? Ha, ha, ha."
"Hahahaha" Mu Hua, who had been pretending to be calm, couldn't bear it anymore and threw his head back and laughed wildly.
And looking at Mu Hua, who was laughing wildly like a villain turning black, Monday and Tuesday felt confused.
Possessing the physical potential of a Minotaur? The Minotaur relied on its physical potential to earn a living, right? Is this still a human being?
"Haha, if it has it, I have it too, and if it doesn't have it, I'll give it back... Well, forget it, it seems like I don't have anything that others don't have."
After laughing wildly for a while, Mu Hua happily shared his harvest with his family members.
"Benign transformation, do you understand benign transformation? On the basis of me as a human being, I took away the Minotaur's benign flesh and blood characteristics."
"Forget it, I'm making a lot of money anyway. Humanoid Minotaur? Haha." Mu Hua was happily talking nonsense, and he didn't understand what traits and characteristics were not.
"What's the difference between learning the art of transfiguration and becoming a human Minotaur?" Tuesday wondered.
"Uh..." Mu Hua was speechless.
What's the difference? There will always be some differences, right?
"I'm still me. I don't have the devil's horn. My actual strength has not increased. I just absorbed the characteristics and did not gain the physical quality of this Minotaur. The monster warning will not sound the alarm on me, right?" Mu Hua Not sure.
"Of course it's you. Well, as long as you're safe, everything is fine." A smile appeared on Tuesday's lips, and Monday's tail waggled cheerfully.
Mu Hua was inexplicable, always feeling that these two family members suddenly seemed to be much closer to him.
Too lazy to care about the little thoughts of the two family members, Mu Hua brought up his attribute panel.
Mu Hua: Physique 323, Intelligence 150, Spirit 149, Magical Adaptability B, 26 points available for distribution.
There was no improvement in any of the attributes. As Mu Hua said, the horny skin allowed Mu Hua to absorb the physical attributes of the Minotaur, but it was not a predatory attribute.
In the future, he will be more efficient in building up his physique. He will not even need to meditate. Eating, drinking, and exercising normally can increase his physique. It can be understood that he has the natural growth limit of the Minotaur.
After all, adventurers need to meditate, that's because the natural limit of human growth lies there.
Breaking through one's own upper limit through practice is applicable to both humans and monsters. The only difference is that most monsters have a higher natural growth limit than humans.
There are strong people among humans, and there are elites among goblins.
Mu Hua's current physique is far from reaching the Minotaur's normal growth limit.
Mu Hua's attributes have not changed, but his physical growth potential is completely different from before.
With all the changes in his bones, muscles, and especially skin defense, he was like a newborn monster!
With natural growth, as long as there is sufficient nutritional intake, the monster can become stronger until it reaches the monster's natural growth limit.
Of course, in addition to his attributes, Mu Hua had another change.
His original LV14 magic protection has disappeared from the skill panel.
On the contrary, there is an additional talent of 'blood of rage' in the talent.
This thing should be a talent only possessed by the original sin bloodline, right? It requires a higher level of magic protection than the bite upgrade.
But we don’t have demon blood. We’re from humans. The monster warning on the street shouldn’t sound the alarm on us, right?
