tree demons have attributes

Chapter 83 Upgrading and Transformation of the Dependents (6k words)
Burial ground.

"rush!"

The little elf sat on Xiao San's head, with his legs crossed, waving a wooden stick the size of a toothpick in his hand and shouted.

After a period of life attribute cultivation, the elf has now fully recovered, and has learned to speak some common magic words. The body of the elf has become stronger, and it will not feel weak even if it is far away from the main body.

During these days in the territory,
It likes to do two things the most, one is to climb trees, and the other is to sit on Xiao San's head and let Xiao San take it around in the corridor.

At the moment, it is inspecting the underground farm with Xiao San. Although Xiao San is a jade spider, the speed of movement is not fast among monsters, but for the little elf, the walking speed of the jade spider is already the speed of light.

"Keep rushing!"

The elf danced the wooden branch and shouted at the light at the exit of the crypt,
The third person under the seat was unhurried, with a long spider silk thread trailing behind him, with dozens of monsters hanging from it.

Bring the monster to Li Mu,
The elf jumped off the spider's head and waved towards the giant tree in front of him.

Li Mu understood it, stretched out the roots and brought the elf to the trunk, and let the little guy play around on the branch, anyway, after a while when he was tired from playing, the little guy would go back to sleep in the bud.

He glanced at the elf's body.

Since the flowers are planted next to the trunk of the tree, Li Mu usually uses the roots of the tree to inject some life attributes and nutritional attributes into the soil. It stands to reason that with such a fertile soil, any plant should grow extremely fast.

However, the body of the elf has always maintained its original height. Except for the brighter color of the flower buds, there is no obvious phenomenon of increased rhizome height.

On the contrary, the elf itself has become more lively, full of energy, and is much taller than when he first met, as if all the energy absorbed by the roots of plants was transferred to the elf.

This kind of situation reminded Li Mu of the time when his tree body stagnated in growth before, and later he relied on the magic source to break through the height shackles. Perhaps injecting the magic source would help the elf's body grow.

Do you want to try it out?
He glanced at the little elf jumping back and forth on the leaves.

Li Mu thinks it's better to forget it, what to do in case of danger, the body of spirits is very fragile, not every plant is as special as himself.

A tree demon as powerful as Li Mu once overturned a car in an attribute experiment, either almost set himself on fire, or was almost rotted into rotten wood. It is better not to infuse attributes indiscriminately for fragile little flowers and plants like elves.

"Anyway, you don't need elves to fight. You just need to have the power to protect yourself. Boneyard will protect you in the future."

Li Mu looked at the elf, thinking in his heart, then used the roots to grab the blood on the ground and began to absorb it.

The roots loosely untie the spider silk,

According to the past practice, the head blood was distributed to Xiaosan,

Eating should be the happiest time between the tree owner and his family members, but recently, both Xiao San and Li Mu are quite sad, because the spider Xiaoyu has not yet awakened.

"Tree owner, there will be no danger in the Jade Boss Conference." Xiao San was not interested in the food in front of him, and looked worriedly at the black stone surrounded by tree roots in the corner from time to time.

The boulder is more than ten meters high, and its surface is covered with jagged spars, like a piece of raw ore that has just been mined. If you look closely, you will find that the texture of the black ore surface is like a living thing, gradually expanding outward.

Inside this strange ore, there is Xiaoyu, the leader of the jade spider who is unconscious.

These black ores are actually formed by the gathering of obsidian shed off the body surface of the jade spider.

Based on the idea of ​​not disturbing Xiaoyu as much as possible, Li Mu and other family members never went to clean up these ores.

"Don't worry, it's alright."

Li Mu could only answer in this way. Actually, he was quite worried in his heart, but as the tree owner, he had to show enough calmness at this time to reassure his family members, so whenever Xiao San and other family members asked, his answers were always the same.

Secretly, Li Mu has been trying to communicate with Xiaoyu in the consciousness network, but the result is naturally failure.
He guessed that Xiaoyu was undergoing some kind of all-round physical evolution, so that the brain consciousness could not adapt to the sudden mutation and was in a chaotic state, so it was difficult to communicate.

"I hope so."

For evolution, Li Mu doesn't have a good method. The only thing that can be sure is that Xiaoyu's life is safe. After all, Xiaoyu was born from a tree fruit, which is a part of Li Mu's tree body.

It's like if a leaf on the crown of a tree withers, the tree owner can feel the pain, and Li Mu can also perceive the safety of the lives of the family members. Once this shared sense of touch disappears, it means that the life of the family members is in danger.

At present, the shared touch with Xiaoyu still exists, which shows that Xiaoyu is not in danger for the time being.

"ah."

The little elf screamed and jumped from the branch to the ground. The smile on her face was never missing, as if she was always in a happy state, perhaps infected by the little guy.

Both Li Mu and Xiao San put aside their worries about Xiaoyu for the time being, and ate with their heads covered.

The elf went back to sleep in the bud.

Tree roots pierce into blood.

Nutrition attribute +1
Life attribute +1
Magic source attribute +1
"Another magic source attribute broke out, good luck."

The number of magic source attributes in Li Mu's body increased significantly,
A large part of the magic source comes from Rodney of the Bone Demon Race. He used the attribute tree root to extract the opponent's soul fire, and obtained a lot of fire elements and magic source attributes from it.
Another part of the reason for the increase in magic sources is that the territory has gradually entered the right track recently, and the dividends of the previous territorial expansion have been revealed.

The hunting range of the jade spiders has increased, and they can capture more advanced monsters. Creatures of the level of magic soldiers are already rare, and there are even creatures of the level of monsters in the rocky area.

In the end, he was beaten by the ape demon and brought back to the burial ground.

High-level monsters mean a high probability of extracting magic source attributes.

In addition, all kinds of wonderful monsters also bring many strange attributes, such as hair hardness attributes, muscle toughness attributes, corrosion resistance attributes, moisture attributes, and light absorption attributes.
Hair Hardness, as the name suggests, is an attribute used to modify the quality of hair.

In terms of usage, this attribute overlaps with the hardness attribute. Li Mu once compared these two attributes, and conducted experiments with monsters in the farm.
It is found that the hard attribute can transform the quality of the hair, making the hair as hard as metal, but while endowing it with hardness, the hard attribute will also increase the weight of the object,

The quality of light hair will increase rapidly after adding the hard attribute.

The hair hardness attribute does not have this problem. It can simply control the fur hardness without affecting the weight. However, the effect of the hair hardness attribute can only be limited to the hair, and its use is not as wide as that of the hard attribute.

It can only be said that both attributes have their own advantages and disadvantages.

These are just some of the various attributes that Li Mu currently possesses.

He is still studying the functions of the remaining various complex attributes.

After several have been researched for specific usage methods,

Li Mu decided to use it in the transformation and upgrading of the dependents. It is time to improve the combat effectiveness of the dependents.

current
Among the subordinates, the strongest blood butterfly Xiaodu and the ape demon king have broken their ears. These two subordinates have broken through to quasi-devil generals. It is not much of a problem to crush the fifth-level demon generals in real strength.
Broken Ear can even suppress the existence of the seventh-level magic general after stimulating the transformation talent,

Followed by Jade Spider Xiaosi, and Blood Butterfly Xiaodie.

Xiaosi served as the main force of the hunting team while Boss Yu was asleep, and grew up very quickly. Although Xuedie Xiaodie doesn't like to talk, Xuedie has a strong talent, so her strength is not weak.

The rest of the jade spiders, such as the ape demon and Xiao Wu Xiaolu, are also growing rapidly. Under the stimulation of a large amount of blood food, their levels are also increasing rapidly, and they have already broken through the sixth level of the magic soldier.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the existence of a legendary jade spider, Xiaoer,

During the period of healing, Xiao Er stayed in the burial ground all day. Apart from re-establishing a good relationship with the elves, he failed to make any progress in strength, and once again became the bottom of the burial ground.

Li Mu has long been used to this, so I can't blame Xiao Er for this.
After getting along for such a long time, Li Mu knew that Xiaoer's improvement in strength is the kind of player who is enthusiastic for 3 minutes, and occasionally wants to work hard, but will lose interest after a while.

The only thing that Xiao Er can continue to be interested in is all kinds of weird things, which is quite similar to Li Mu.

In the beginning, Li Mu created the dependents so that the dependents could protect the safety of his tree body.
With the passage of time, and being together day and night for such a long time, what Li Mu hopes now is that he can protect the safety of his dependents and create a space where he and his dependents can live without worry.

Therefore, Xiao Er's power is not necessary, and Li Mu doesn't want to force Xiao Er to do things he doesn't like. He can do whatever he likes, so let him do it. Of course, the premise is that he doesn't run around and poke the basket, otherwise Once caught, they were still hung up and beaten.

And by observing,

Li Mu found that Xiao Er was not useless, at least he still had a lot of ideas in terms of deviant ideas, letting Xiao Er play by himself was better than letting him hunt and then staring at the prey in a daze.

"Xiao Er, are you back yet?" Since thinking of Xiao Er, Li Mu called out in the consciousness network: "I have been away for so long, so I guess I went to another place to play again."

"No." Xiao Er said honestly, "Tree Master, Duan Er and I will be back soon."

Xiao Er didn't talk nonsense this time, and it didn't take long for Duan Er to return to the burial ground with Xiao Er and a lot of materials and crystals in his arms.

"Tree Master!"

Duan Er put down the little spider on his shoulder, looking a little tired, this fatigue was not caused by carrying things, Duan Er was strong and strong, even if he ran for a day with a stone on his back, he would not feel tired.

This is a kind of mental exhaustion, caused by Xiao Er's chatter on the road, and the bitterness in it is beyond words.

Fortunately, Xiao Er is still in awe of the tree owner. Every time when the broken ear is unbearable, he will take out the tree owner to intimidate Xiao Er, and only then can he insist on returning to the burial ground.

"This is the crystallization collected from the Xiemei tribe, and some materials you specified." Duan Er spread the package, revealing the shiny crystals inside. It is estimated that there are at least hundreds of them.

Magic source +1
Fire Element +1
The root of the attribute tree extracts various magic source attributes and elemental attributes from the crystallization,
everything's ready,
Li Mu called the jade spider back from the forest territory, injected the magic source attribute into its body, and raised their strength to the level of a magic general.

The strength reaches the magic general,

The jade spider's body further enlarged, the old obsidian armor fell off, and the exposed new armor began to crack.

There is a continuous small crack at the tip of each joint limb, connecting to the end of the joint limb, blood can be seen flowing in the gap,
The cracks in the dark red armor converged on the head of the jade spider, which looked like a mysterious and complicated pattern, faintly,
The once soft spider sac was now wrapped in dark red armor, so that the armor truly has no dead ends in all directions.

The improvement of the magic source brings changes in strength,
But what Li Mu can really bring about a huge improvement in the abilities of his subordinates are all kinds of weird attribute points.

Since obsidian armor is upgraded to dark red armor,

The body load of the Jade Spider is becoming more and more serious. Although the Jade Spider is developing towards a heavy tank, it cannot completely give up its movement speed when focusing on defense.

For this reason, Li Mu first improved the hair on the jade spider's body surface with the property of hair hardness, which reduced the quality burden brought by the armor to a certain extent.

then,

The attribute of the wind element was extracted. Since I didn't know the ability of the jade spider to withstand the attribute, I didn't dare to inject too much. Basically, it was controlled within the acceptable range. The wind element made the body of the jade spider lighter than before.

However, there is a more troublesome problem with elemental properties, that is, its effect needs to be activated, and part of the magic source of the family member will be consumed during the use process.

According to previous research, Li Mu believes that the transformation of this element attribute is more similar to the magic source attribute, which is a kind of energy imparted to the body of the dependents, similar to the catalytic agent in the chemical reaction, the amount of the magic source will change the body of the creature. produce a strong boost.

According to the consensus in the demon world, for creatures below the monster level, usually a hundred magic sources can trigger individual mutations for creatures of this level, and very few demons with weaker aptitudes can even have significant changes in appearance with only a few dozen points of magic sources. Effect.

The stimulating changes brought by this kind of magic source have their limitations. The biggest limitation is the body structure of the monster. It is difficult for creatures with low potential to continue to strengthen.

And creatures with high potential need more energy stimulation at the same level.

Or there are other limiting factors, Li Mu is still working hard to study,

It can be seen from the infusion of the magic source just now.

The body of the jade spider didn't change significantly until he was promoted to a demon general, which showed that the potential of the jade spider belonged to the ranks of the top creatures, and Li Mu had attribute points, and he could slowly transform his dependents.

The potential of other monsters is fixed when they are born, but Li Mu's dependents are different. They can rely on their attributes to carry out continuous transformation in the later stage. To a certain extent, as long as they have suitable attributes, the potential of their dependents is almost infinite.

In the same way, the amount of elemental attributes will also cause corresponding transformations to monsters to a certain extent. Li Mu has not yet been able to test out the specific amount of this elemental attribute and how to balance the stimulation points.
Before the amount of elemental attributes is not enough to stimulate the corresponding evolution of the birth of creatures, the use of elemental power requires the consumption of magic sources.

"The amount of this wind element should be about the same."

Li Mu didn't continue to inject too much wind element into the jade spider. After all, creatures have different carrying capacities for different elements, just as if he injected too much fire element into the body, it would cause spontaneous combustion.

"The body is so light."

Xiao Er stimulated the power of the elements in the armor, and suddenly felt that his body was extremely light, and his movement speed was several times higher than before. This feeling of fast movement made the jade spiders feel novel.

The power of the elements driven by the jade spiders ran around the bone, walking on eight legs, the wind was charged, and the little elves were woken up from the buds, and their heads came out. Spiders, I don't know why they are so excited.

After passion, there is emptiness.

The result of overuse of elemental power is exhaustion.

quickly,

After the chase, the jade spiders fell to the ground exhausted one by one, unable to get up again.

"In the future, pay attention to using the power of elements, don't use them indiscriminately, did you hear me?" Li Mu warned.

"Understood." The jade spiders replied weakly.

"Come here, there is another attribute that hasn't been added."

Li Mu felt like a doctor urging a patient to come and get an injection. He stabbed the roots into the jade spider's body, and added an attribute called "venomous affinity" to the gland that spits out spider silk.

He couldn't remember which monster this attribute was extracted from.

I only know that this is an attribute similar to the poison resistance attribute, the difference is that the poison resistance will offset the effect of the poisonous attribute, and the poison affinity is to promote the effect of the poisonous attribute.

After adding the highly poisonous affinity attribute, after a period of time, the silk sprayed by the jade spider will gradually become highly poisonous.

Afterwards, there were minor modifications to the fangs, eyeballs, and various organs, which can be said to be a comprehensive upgrade of the jade spider.

After renovation,
Li Mu: "Let's go."

Jade Spider Xiaosi took Xiao Wu Xiaolu back to the forest and continued hunting. It took time to adapt, and he could get familiar with the new dark red body more quickly during the hunting process.

Xiao Er has special privileges. In recent days, he can basically do whatever he wants, except for two places where he can’t go. One is the underground breeding farm, because he will be beaten by Xiao San if he goes there.
The other is a place outside the territory. If you run out, you will be beaten by the tree owner Li Mu.

Having just had a new body, Xiao Er didn't want to go anywhere, he raised his joints one by one, and looked at the dark red steel armor he had just obtained with satisfaction, and then stayed in the territory to see Lord Tree Master transforming the ape demon.

"Xiao Er."

"exist."

"Rescind the contracts of the rest of the ape demons."

In the entire ape demon tribe, except for the broken ear contracted by Li Mu himself, the contract owner of the rest of the ape demons is still Xiaoer.

Xiao Er obeyed the order to terminate the contract.

The size of the ape demon has shrunk, its strength has declined, and it has returned to the former demon monkey.
The demon monkey who used to be in the Hongguoshu District, now facing the completely remodeled Spider Xiaoer, is almost like a small pet, inconspicuous.

Li Mu made a contract with the demon monkeys himself, and after going through the same transformation process as the broken ears, the monkeys became ape demons with grimaces on their backs.

"You, come here, take a look at the split-headed new ape demon."

The black tree root pointed at an ape demon and told it to split its spirit body on the spot.

The ape demon obeyed, the grimace on the back raised up, and the face gradually became clear and three-dimensional, and finally the grimace rushed out, taking away half of the ape demon's fur and flesh, and turned into an ape demon with exactly the same head and appearance, but a smaller body.

The main body ape demon's figure also shrunk, and the grimace on his back was dim. It may take a long time to recover the second soul.

"Well, the soul contract didn't disappear because of the split. The new individuals that split out are still restricted by the soul contract, and even the evolution brought about by the spiritual attribute is retained."

"interesting."

Li Mu looked at the newly born ape demon individual, thinking in his mind.

"I don't know if it's the special nature of the twin demons that caused this phenomenon, or it's the effect of these soul contracts."

"In the future, if I have a chance, I will definitely get a few soul contracts from other clans to experiment with."

While thinking, Li Mu continued to carry out attribute point transformation on the ape demon as a whole,
The ape demon mainly focuses on strength,
Li Mu is going to start from this aspect,
The attributes of blood, strength, hardness, muscle toughness, and bone density all greatly improved the strength of the ape demon.

Muscle toughness and bone density allow the skeleton of the ape demon to withstand more blood attributes,
The attribute of blood energy allows the ape demon to absorb and bear more body weight,
Therefore, in addition to adding appropriate hardness attributes to the ape demon's hair, Li Mu also injected some additional hardness attributes. The entire ape demon's hair is like a steel needle, which improves the defense and increases the power of the ape arm at the same time.

"sough"

More than [-] ape demons stood in the burial ground. Unlike Broken Ears, the rest of the ape demons were mutated, and their hair was black. With their fierce faces, they looked murderous. army of demons,
"Broken ear, fight with it!"

Li Mu called an ordinary ape demon to see how strong he was.

"Roar"

Duan Er stepped forward, with a strange luster in the light golden hair all over his body, he beat the ground with both arms, roared at the clansman in front of him, and directly activated his transformation talent.

In a burst of piercing muscle tearing sound,

The broken ears turned into a monster with two heads and four arms, its fangs turned outwards, its eyes were scarlet, and the sand and stones on the ground could be shattered just by roaring.

Duan Er, who has officially stepped into the level of a magic general, is estimated to be able to single out the weakened Rodnell after his transformation.

"Tree owner, can I admit defeat?" The ape demon subordinate who was picked out, facing the patriarch's astonishing momentum, shrugged his head before fighting.

Just because of this momentum, you know you don't need to fight,
Li Mu just wanted to speak,
Xiao Er hurriedly shouted: "Fight! What are you afraid of!"

Ordinary ape demon: "I, I am not the patriarch's opponent."

Xiao Er yelled even more fiercely: "You transform too! If you can beat the clan leader, it will be yours."

Ordinary ape demons are in a dilemma: "Subordinates can't transform, among the ape demons, only the patriarch can do this."

"you will not?"

Li Mu was listening beside him, and it was the first time he heard the news. He originally thought that transformation was a talent of ape demons, but it turned out to be unique to Duan Er: "It seems that even creatures of the same species have individual differences."

"It's okay, just believe in yourself." The little spider ignited wildly beside him, it just wanted to watch the apes fight, and it didn't matter who won or lost.

Li Mu: "Xiaoer, you go."

Spider Xiaoer looked at the severed ear whose fist was bigger than its head after transformation, finally calmed down, ran to the elf who had just woken up, and said, "Xiao Yao, I'll take you to find Xiao San."

"it is good."

The elf happily agreed, pulled her body out of the flower bud, stepped on the edge of the flower petal, jumped, sat on Xiao Er's head, pointed at the entrance of the farm and stretched out her fist, "Rush!"

Jade Spider Xiao Er, carrying the elf on his back, slipped into the cave and disappeared without a trace.
