Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from depriving the mantis shrimp of its talent

Chapter 21 Alien Species
Chen Cheng found the senior brother who was teaching the outer disciples in the front yard. Not long after, he walked out of the pharmacy with a large bag of medicinal materials and a piece of meat.

"Is this the meat of Tai Sui with black stripes?"

Chen Cheng looked at the meat curiously. When Old Man Ma told him the name of the meat, he thought it was some kind of fungus. After all, it was called Tai Sui.

But after getting it, Chen Chengcai discovered that there was not much difference between this kind of Tai Sui meat and real meat in appearance and feel, except that there were some black lines in the meat.

"He deserves to be called Hei Wen Tai Sui."

Chen Cheng's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to touch the Tai Sui meat. Suddenly, the black lines on the Tai Sui meat in the food field were distorted, and finally formed several entries.

[Super speed regeneration (remaining)]

[Cannibalism (remnants)]

[Photophobia (disabled)]

[Cultivation (remnant)]

【Colorful Venom (residual)】

Looking at the combined entries, Chen Cheng narrowed his eyes.

"Why is there a broken character at the end?"

Chen Cheng tried to grab it, and the entry seemed to be an entity, distorted by the grasp.

But in the end, Chen Cheng gave up the deprivation. He felt that the talent in this piece of black-striped Tai Sui meat was very fragile. If it was forcibly deprived, I am afraid that not only would the talent talisman not be obtained, but the opportunity of deprivation would also be wasted, and the attempt would be in vain. .

"Isn't it because of the body? But why wasn't it there when I touched the iron stake last time?"

In order to understand the difference, Chen Cheng went out and brought back several rabbits not long after.

Chen Cheng grabbed one and found that there was no word "remnant" after the talent entry.

Chen Cheng pondered for a moment, slapped the rabbit in his hand to death, and then cut it in half.

Halfway through picking it up, the word disabled appeared again after the talent entry.

Chen Cheng continued to break it down and finally came to a conclusion.

"The talent entry must be taken away from more than two-thirds of the body."

After the experiment was completed, Chen Cheng looked at several rabbits that he divided into several sections.

"Have a whole rabbit feast tonight."

He ate three of the four rabbits in one meal, and he put another one in the cupboard.

While letting the rabbits go, Chen Cheng saw the food box sent by the Huang family.

"I wonder what kind of talent the Huang family's colorful snake has."

Chen Cheng thought, then took out less than two kilograms of colorful snake meat, activated the deprivation ability, and the entry suddenly appeared.

[Super speed regeneration (remaining)]

[Cannibalism (remnants)]

[Photophobia (disabled)]

[Cultivation (remnant)]

Chen Cheng was stunned when he saw the familiar talent entry.

Then he frowned, took the black-striped Tai Sui meat, and put one hand on it. The talent of the Black-striped Tai Sui emerged again.

Chen Cheng looked at his left hand and his right hand, looking at the two almost identical talent entries, with thoughts in his eyes. "There can't be such a coincidence in the world. Compared with the Black-striped Tai Sui of the Gravel Fist, the Huang Family's Colorful Golden Snake only has the talent of Colorful Venom, and the rest are exactly the same."

"One is a snake and the other is a fungus. There is absolutely no resemblance between the two."

"In this case, there is only one truth!"

Chen Cheng's frowned brows relaxed and he focused on [Transformation Seed (Remnant)].

There is a triangle sign behind this entry. After clicking it, the downward sign turns upward, just like a detailed introduction to the past life.

[Transformation (Remnant)]: When the parasitic species dies or loses more than [-]% of its body, all its essence will be extracted and transformed into a different species again.

"That is, these big meats all have the same source, a kind of existence called a different species. The colorful snakes and the black-striped Tai Sui are just their parasites!"

Chen Cheng checked the detailed introductions of the entries one by one, and from the introductions of various talents, he sketched out the impression of this alien species in his mind.

Alien species, a strange existence that will drain all the life essence of the host when it is in danger and turn it back into a seed.

The characteristic is that organisms parasitized by heterogeneous species will have super regeneration capabilities and the aggressiveness to devour their own kind. Their weakness is photophobia.

"I don't know what kind of super-speed regeneration method this is, and how fast the regeneration is."

According to the explanation in the talent, if you encounter a creature parasitized by a different species, except for some special killing methods, if you cannot evenly cut it into more than a hundred parts in a short period of time, I am afraid it will be regenerated by it and eventually be killed. Consumed alive.

"It seems that the parasitic creatures are very dangerous. How did the Huang family and Master control them and then keep cutting off the flesh?"

Chen Cheng was a little puzzled.

He is very greedy for the super-speed regeneration ability of alien species. The infinite division of the mantis shrimp also gives him good regeneration and self-healing abilities. However, if there are too many injured parts, such as a broken hand or something, then only You will be rewarded with a healed broken arm.

Chen Cheng kept his doubts about alien species in his heart for the time being.

He estimated that these should be the secrets of every family. If he asked them directly, he might reveal his special abilities.

"Don't worry about the alien species for now. I want to think about what kind of talents I want to take away this time."

Chen Cheng thought about the most important thing at the moment.

After these few months of using the mantis shrimp talent, he had a rough understanding of the ability of the talent spell.

The abilities of the talisman are not fixed. For example, the black hand at the beginning has twice the strength of both arms in normal state, and has an explosion of thirty times after charging.

But as Chen Cheng's arms continued to practice the gravel fist, the black hand remained the same, and the original thirty-fold explosion became more than twenty-fold after the training.

"Talents have their limits. Some talents that are very powerful on insects are not suitable for me."

For example, the insect world's Hercules, a dung-pushing beetle, also known as the dung beetle, has the gift of being able to lift more than [-] times its own body weight.

But it has such a talent only because of its small size and the function of the exoskeleton. If it is enlarged to human size, not to mention how many times it can lift more than its own weight, the exoskeleton can be crushed by its own weight.

Chen Cheng also thought about depriving some of the talents of some creatures that were popular on the Internet in their previous lives, such as the magical tardigrade.

The tardigrade can possess those strange abilities entirely because it is small and has a simple structure. When it is injured or in a harsh environment, the tardigrade will curl up by dehydration and fall into a state of suspended animation.

If this ability is loaded onto him, it doesn't matter whether he can wake up again after dehydration. Once dehydrated, he will be at the mercy of others.

When he first chose the abilities to be taken away, Chen Chengcheng had already tried them all and finally eliminated them all.

What can help him are all abilities that can be copied to larger bodies and larger creatures, such as his first choice, the mantis shrimp.

The mantis shrimp is an alien creature. Its name is very similar to the bird-tailed mantis shrimp in its previous life, but it is actually completely different.

The bird-tailed mantis shrimp is not as magical as it is said to be. It is a mythical species like tardigrades, ants, fleas, etc.
