Chapter 254 Tick Amberworm
In the dark dream of that night, Russell then experimented with Polly's horn to see how it could penetrate the dream and penetrate into reality.
In the end, he found that this pocket horn was not omnipotent.
It can indeed penetrate into reality, but it does not really appear in reality, but wanders in the boundary between dreams and reality. It can stick to things that look like amber, and then wander in the boundary like the pocket horn.
But it cannot stick to objects without magic power, it can only stick to objects with magic power, and they must be unconscious dead objects.
Fantasy beasts, knights, elf insects, etc., these self-conscious life forms, Polly's pocket horn is helpless.
For example, the black oil dragon egg carried by Russell, although it has not yet been bred and its mind is still very young, the pocket horn can't stick to it.
But magical tools such as gems and metals can be successfully stuck.
"So is this stone that looks like amber really amber? Amber worms should be self-conscious life forms, but when they are trapped in amber, they should not be self-conscious... Forget it, it's too complicated, let's wait until dawn to see the answer."
"Ga." Xiao Menglong was tired.
The dark dream dissipated, and consciousness fell into darkness.
Russell got up before dawn the next day, without a male servant, but Swan Castle assigned a male servant to help him change clothes.
But Russell just asked the male servant to hand over his clothes, and he put them on himself. After washing up and going downstairs in a hurry, he went to the fantasy beast camp.
"Russell." Polly's voice sounded in his heart.
"I'm here."
"It's really a piece of amber." Polly pulled out an orange-yellow stone from under her body. "When I woke up in the morning, this stone was stuck to my horn. Obviously I brought it back from outside."
"Cool!" Russell was overjoyed. He took the stone and took a closer look, and he knew that it was indeed a piece of amber.
The amber of the sword butterfly is the size of a fist, the amber of the thorn is only the size of a meatball, and this piece of amber is slightly larger than a meatball.
Through the light, you can see some dirt inside, but in the dirt, there is a round spider-like insect, with a clear outline, eight legs, but no waist like a spider, but a round ball, with the head and body growing together.
"This thing looks a bit like a tick?" Russell quickly identified it.
The so-called tick is a tick, which often bites and sucks blood on livestock and even serfs. As a knight, Russell often finds some ticks sucking blood when taking care of war horses, and can pick them off with a drop of wax oil.
Recognizing what is wrapped in the amber, Russell immediately looks forward to it: "I wonder what magical effect the tick will have if it becomes an amber worm!"
The thorn amber worm eggs of plants are useless, but the sword butterfly amber worm of insects has magical swordsmanship.
The new amber worm, which is also an insect, makes Russell very much looking forward to it.
Without any extra movements, Russell cut his finger on the spot, squeezed out two drops of blood and dripped them onto the amber.
The blood instantly penetrated the amber.
A weak breath appeared in his mind, accompanied by a feeling of hunger and a slight desire for blood. However, these senses were not strong and would not affect Russell's own senses.
He looked carefully at the amber in his hand and saw that the tick seemed to move slightly, and then quickly absorbed the surrounding dirt.
It seemed that the dirt was originally some kind of blood, which was wrapped in the amber along with the tick.
The tick drank up the dirty blood, and its body became visibly round, and then a click was heard, and the amber stone quickly broke into powder, slid down the fingers, and dissipated.
Only a tick slightly larger than the thumb nail was left, lying quietly in Russell's palm.
Hunger, joy, closeness, desire for blood, many emotions emerged in Russell's mind in an instant, all emitted by this tick.
The next second.
It suddenly bit Russell's palm, but he felt no pain. Then it turned into a streak of blood and completely sank into his palm.
The M-shaped mark flickered, and around it, in addition to the thorn mark and the sword butterfly mark, there was another sesame-sized tick mark crawling around. There is no doubt that this is another new member of the Youmeng family.
"You are called tick, tick amber worm..." Russell silently received the feedback from the tick amber worm.
After a moment, his eyes lit up.
Ticks don't know swordsmanship, but they have their own unique features. They can help Russell transform qi and blood.
In other words, when Russell's fighting spirit is exhausted, he can use ticks to burn his blood and turn it into surging fighting spirit to fight again. When Russell is injured and bleeding, he can also use ticks to transform his fighting spirit to make up for the loss of blood.
"Very cool, very cool!" Russell laughed. Although the effect of qi and blood transformation is not as amazing as mastering swordsmanship, it is definitely very practical.
It can not only increase his own endurance, but also speed up the recovery of physical injuries.
But while he was happy, Russell felt a little regretful: "Why is it Qi and blood transformation, not Qi and fat transformation? Being able to transform fat into fighting spirit is a magical skill!"
Okay, this is a greedy idea.
Russell was very satisfied with the Qi and blood transformation ability of the tick amber worm, which was much more useful than the five-meter-long thorn whip.
"Polly, I'm so happy today." Russell laughed.
"Hehe."
"By the way, your horn is more useful than you think." Russell touched his chin, "Let me give it, or your new ability, a name... It can pierce Youmeng. , touch reality and bring back magical creations, then call them Dark Dream Tentacles, Dark Dream Tentacles.”
"Youmeng's tentacles? But my horn is not a tentacle. It's the tentacles that grow on the snail's head."
"Okay, since you're not satisfied, then call it Dark Dream One Horn, You Meng One Horn."
"I like that name, Russell."
"Tsk tsk, having said that, you already have three special skills - Youmeng Walking, Youmeng Escape Technique and Youmeng Unicorn. No wonder the ice cream pulled you into the dark dreamland. You were born to be in tune with the ice cream, and your abilities are closely related."
"Maybe, but this scary guy like Ice Cream seems to be very arrogant, and his attitude towards me is very flat."
"It does that to everyone. It rarely looks at people." Russell reassured.
…
Russell, who had gained a lot, declined Lord Quinton Sunflower's offer to stay after breakfast, and left Swan Castle with the knights.
At some point, heavy snow fell in the sky again.
Although the Snow Giant Da has been repelled, the power of the Snow Demon that permeates the snowfield has not faded, and the Ice Age is still permeating the ice age firmly.
The road became muddy, but this did not affect Russell at all. After all, the unicorn Paulie had the power of wind and never fell to the ground.
But Eric suffered a lot. When the horse galloped, the mud splashed all over him.
Kevin, the golden and silver wolfdog who was carrying the baggage, also suffered. His originally shiny fur was wet and stuck together, like a drowned rat.
All the knights in the team were secretly envious of Russell, who had such a cool mount like the unicorn Baoli, who could gallop in mid-air as if he were strolling around without any trace of embarrassment due to the muddy road.
Unexpected.
In the sky ahead, there was suddenly a rolling sound. The sound seemed to come from a very far away place and arrived here after a long time.
Then formed a familiar roar: "Hum!"
"It's the voice of the torrent dragon!" Russell pricked up his ears, wanting to listen again, but after the sound wave rolled over, it fell silent.
No one knows what this dragon roar means.
But there were solemn expressions on the faces of the knights, and everyone vaguely guessed that the Torrent Dragon must have taken something important from the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy as a reward for supporting the Shadow Flame Dragon.
