Chapter 685: The Nest of Greed
"Mu Hua! Mu Hua! Let's play together, let's play together!" Seeing Mu Hua on the lawn of the Ash Fortress, a group of bear-like creatures jumped towards Mu Hua.
The head shaped like a hippopotamus, because of its young age, looks a little cute, with a childish voice, clumsy body, but very agile movements.
Behemoth, or rather, the cub of Behemoth.
Reaching out and grabbing a Behemoth cub that pounced on him, Mu Hua kicked the Behemoth cub on the buttocks, kicking it more than ten meters high, and the Behemoth cub was kicked away in an arc.
"I want it too, I want it too~~!" The eyes of a group of bear children, whose size is not small for humans, lit up.
Mu Hua rolled his eyes helplessly, and Tina and Charles beside him followed suit, kicking them one by one with the force that was enough to break the tendons and bones of ordinary creatures.
Amid the laughter and shouting of a group of naughty children, the three of them were not entangled by the group of Behemoth cubs.
"Mami, Amy, keep an eye on them. If they cause trouble again, I will tear your bones apart." Mu Hua shouted from a distance to the two ugly and ferocious adult Behemoths.
The other party shrank his neck, bowed to Mu Hua, watched Mu Hua waved his hand and left, and then waved his claws and showed his ferocious fangs to a group of Behemoth cubs.
There are some Behemoths raised in the Ash Fortress. Among the first batch of Behemoths collected by Mu Hua from the Snow Ridge Ranch, some were unwilling to surrender.
Some of them became the material for the keratin skin of Mu Hua's members, and the other part that was not so irritable but did not want to become Saturday's followers was raised in the Ash Fortress.
And now these Behemoth cubs are the offspring of those female Behemoths. Mami and Amy are two relatively docile female Behemoths who act as their nannies.
In fact, the reproduction capacity of Behemoth is not bad. Adult female Behemoths can give birth to one litter in five to ten years, and each litter can give birth to one to three cubs.
Originally, Mu Hua was very enthusiastic about cultivating the Behemoth Army, but it was not until he raised these cubs that Mu Hua understood why, although they are such a strong race, whenever he saw Behemoth, there seemed to be no large group.
Behemoth cubs are not fierce, and are even quite cute. Moreover, Behemoths are united internally. Although there is oppression, there is basically no fatal fight.
The fundamental reason for the scarcity of Behemoth individuals is that these guys have a very long childhood.
Just like the Behemoth cubs in Mu Hua's home, according to human age, the earliest ones born are one or two hundred years old, but among them, the largest one has only grown to the size of an ordinary black bear.
This is not because of the Abyss Island. Mu Hua has done experiments on both monsters and humans.
The Abyss Island does not restrict the healthy growth of creatures. Even though these Behemoth cubs were born in the hot spring town, their development rhythm is entirely due to their growth cycle.
Behemoths are stupid and cute when they are young, and they are not as fierce as mature Behemoths, but their childhood period is actually three to five hundred years.
During this period, although the Behemoth cubs are strong, their claws and teeth are fragile, and their strength can only reach the level of mid-level monsters at most.
Only after the childhood period, the Behemoth cubs will usher in a fusion called blood ring liberation, when their body shape, body shape, temperament, and even physiological structure will change overnight.
The long childhood period, coupled with the unruly and difficult to tame mature Behemoths, they have the habit of killing the cubs when they encounter strong enemies to snatch the cubs, and hell never lacks the existence of Behemoth cubs.
Under various factors, it is also difficult for the Behemoth population to grow, and Mu Hua's plan to create a Behemoth Legion will obviously have to go through a longer process.
A group of Behemoth cubs fostered in the Ash Fortress, all of them are like naughty children, and they have been close to Mu Hua and others since childhood, which can be regarded as preschool education.
For some reason, Mu Hua thought of giving each of his cubs a Behemoth cub as a playmate in the future, and then curled his lips and shook his head again.
After leaving the castle, there was nothing much to say about the blood collection site. The two unruly dragons had their teeth and claws removed, and they relied on force-feeding and healing for many years to survive. The rest were vampires fished out of the abyss.
After years of destruction and damage to their origin, I heard that the two dragons were about to die. Mu Hua came to see if the magic could extend their lives. If it was really troublesome, he would leave them to the Terror Riders as evolution materials, but he didn't know if they could still be used after being tossed around for so many years.
And in a relatively remote area on the edge of the abyss, a greedy nest was built, which was strictly prohibited to approach.
The southernmost part of the Abyss Island is now an uninhabited area. In addition to the trap area that is specially used to deal with difficult monsters like Fenrir, the blood collection site and the Greedy Nest are located here.
This place is covered by Wednesday's illusion all year round and is usually guarded by Wednesday. The so-called Greedy Nest is where the Abyss monsters that Mu Hua has marked with the seal of oath are stored. They can be regarded as Mu Hua's reserve summoned beasts.
A large area of open land surrounded by high walls shows the simple Greedy Nest. There are a few closed rooms like prisons. The scratches on the ground outline independent square spaces. In each space, there is a monster that wanders and lies quietly.
These monsters are all in the illusion. The illusion constructed by Wednesday saves a lot of manpower and material resources for guarding these Abyss monsters.
Hell Werewolf!
In the Nest of Greed, you can see a large number of hell werewolves. The vampires fished out of the abyss are basically sent to the blood collection site. Since Mu Hua mastered the Seal of Oath, Mu Hua no longer slaughtered the werewolves produced in the abyss indiscriminately, but sent them here.
Seal of Oath, the special ability of the original sin greed half a beat slower.
The reason why it is called half a beat slower is that it is of great help in the production of summoned beasts, but it can only be obtained after touching greed.
The name sounds quite decent, but the essence of this ability is definitely in the evil sequence.
Greed can silently add this mark to other creatures, and when those creatures are marked with the Seal of Oath, if the recipient does not guard against the greed of the seal, the Seal of Oath will gradually erode the recipient.
As time goes by, the attitude of the recipient towards the sealer will be subtly changed. If it does not affect the rationality of the recipient, the Seal of Oath will become a kind of existence that replaces the dependent contract.
Well, this replacement does not make the recipient become the follower of the sealer, after all, the seal of the oath has no essential effect on the recipient.
But it can replace the follower contract and become a necessary part of the transformation of the summoned beast.
In other words, if there is no guard against greed, when the seal of the oath is truly perfected, greed can completely force the recipient to become their summoned beast.
Because it does not affect the mind, there are inevitably some disadvantages, such as resentment even if it becomes a summoned beast.
However, it has become someone else's summoned beast, and it is at the mercy of others. What can it do if it has resentment?
Not to mention being stuffed into the summoning space, greed has countless ways to let go of its hands and feet to train the summoned beast with immortal characteristics in various ways.
Even if it is hypocritical, the summoner asks the summoned beast to fight with others, and the summoned beast will still roll up its sleeves.
The Seal of the Oath is a very evil thing, but it is not difficult to make it ineffective. As long as you find a clue in your attitude towards the recipient and resist it, the Seal of the Oath will be lifted.
Under normal circumstances, if Greed wants the Seal of the Oath to take effect, he also needs to put on a show, at least he needs to often win the favor of the recipient, so that the subtle change of attitude does not seem so abrupt.
After all, any creature with a normal brain has no reason not to question those unfounded goodwill and recognition.
And it is precisely because of this that people who have a little understanding of Greed will stay away from them, and even if they become friends, they will always be wary of them.
However, when the Seal of the Oath is in Mu Hua's hands, coupled with Wednesday's illusion, the Abyss Monster can be said to be an excellent recipient.
Losing reason but not losing mind, their mind is enough to provide nutrients for the Seal of the Oath to infect the soul.
Wednesday occasionally builds Mu Hua's image in their respective illusions, so that they gradually have a non-threatening impression of Mu Hua.
As long as they don't attack Mu Hua when they see him, they can slap the seal of the oath, and then swipe their faces from time to time. The rest is to wait for the oath to mature.
The hell werewolves are not a strong demon group, but first of all, there are enough of them, and secondly, Mu Hua is also optimistic about them. Like Behemoth, they are also a kind of son of the earth who can restore their physical strength by standing on the ground.
It is a waste to use their own skeletons to make summoned beasts. Look, among the land battle monsters in Mu Hua's "Final War", the hell werewolves have become the tentative first echelon.
Werewolves, six-armed Naga, Minotaur who are good at close combat, big demons with comprehensive abilities, blue-winged demons specializing in long-range, and even two Medusas locked in a single room.
The biggest drawbacks of the Abyss monsters are their magic addiction and spellcasting defects. Transforming them into summoned beasts can solve the problem of magic addiction, but spellcasting defects are difficult to avoid, so monsters that tend to be good at spellcasting will basically not be selected into the Greedy Nest.
At this stage, most of the monsters imprisoned in the Greedy Nest are relatively conventional monsters produced by smelting, but they all have their own strengths in terms of quantity or ability.
As mentioned earlier, although there is a bug, Mu Hua's "Final War" is only a prototype, and he has never given up perfecting this evil but also tyrannical ability.
The Seal of the Oath replaces the Dependent Contract, and the Greedy Domain replaces the Soul Compensation. Among them, the Seal of the Oath opens a gap for Mu Hua's original sin energy.
It is precisely because of the lack of original sin energy that Mu Hua will try to pick some monsters with higher attributes and throw them into the Greedy Nest.
Of course, to transform these monsters into summoned beasts, some necessary materials are needed, and a large-scale expansion of the "Final War" will inevitably consume a lot of Mu Hua's financial resources.
Generally speaking, there are still many monsters of the same type in the Greedy Nest that have entered the Burning Source Furnace or the Blood Pool.
When the strength reaches a certain level, the skill stone and the Hundred Refining Secret Stone are no longer so omnipotent.
Although Mu Hua is usually a bit unrestrained, he has never given up on improving himself.
Compared with the blood collection field, the Greedy Nest can be said to be an absolute forbidden area on the Abyss Island. The monsters here are still mostly "standard cannon fodder" with large quantities.
But this may be only temporary. Even with the defects of spellcasting, there are still some deadly talents and fierce melee in the abyss.
As the Greedy Nest that Mu Hua attaches great importance to, what is bred here is - the "Final War". (End of this chapter)
