  Chapter 272 The Firefly Jellyfish (1010)

   The mutant and the brain devourer are dead, Ian checks the maintenance hut next to him.

  The maintenance hut is made of stone, and the key parts are placed with metal skeletons for stability.

  Thousands of years later, the metal gradually decayed under the erosion of water vapor, but the rock still stood.

Most of the maintenance parts stored in the hut have been completely decayed, and the sophisticated magnetic sensing equipment has long been inactive, not to mention the pile of waste that can no longer be seen clearly—the natural spiritual energy field inside the ruins is also A big pusher, their existence makes it difficult for these tools to maintain their original form.

   But there is still something left.

   "Adamantine?"

  Because the foresight vision suggested that there was a purple aura, Ian was able to pick out seven dark golden metal particles with a complete structure from a large piece of black waste.

  Most of these metal particles are drill bits or micro blades, which should be the key parts of the maintenance equipment back then.

  While the rest of the tools have decayed, they have remained intact for thousands of years.

Don't look too small, generally speaking, fine gold is only used as an alloy additive. It only needs a small amount of rice grain to regenerate a weapon or a key component—and the pre-epoch civilization can actually place pure gold in a maintenance hut. Fine gold tools, how extravagant is this!

   Not right.

   Halfway feeling, Ian turned his head and looked at the metal beside him.

  He pondered: "The central control room... If what the brain-eating worm said just now is not a lie, then this is at least a convenient passage leading to the core area of ​​the ruins."

   "This maintenance station is probably unusual."

   Regardless of whether it is ordinary or not, the harvest of fine gold is huge. With the Thorium sent by Master Goser, Ian already has a plan to strengthen the Abyss Iron Sword.

  That will definitely be a masterpiece.

   Didn't immediately try to open the rusty metal door. Now Ian just made a map with a silver chip, and then returned to the surrounding area of ​​the river.

  At this moment, the pirate captain Andor had already woken up, staring at his lower body with only one leg left, and rubbing his only leg with some worry.

   "Hey, even with my regenerative ability, it is very difficult to grow another leg... There is only one leg left, what should I do in this ruin?"

  Ian came so quietly that Andor was still complaining.

  From the very beginning, I shouldn’t have accepted this task, and I should have investigated the strange things in the South China Sea earlier; from Canaan Moore, there is too little oil and water in the south and no money to make, to the fact that the orcs are all poor ghosts.

The objects he cursed ranged from Patrick to the too many fishbones at breakfast, from Ian's open perspective and Master Goser's alchemist tactics of throwing money to fight, even the natives and his own subordinates scolded, a mad dog bites everyone, A useless person has to go into battle himself if he wants to die.

  So when he found behind him, Ian who was seriously studying how to say Canaan Moore's foul language, Andor's heart was instantly chilled.

   "Yeah, sorry! I just..."

   "For the sake of the fact that you helped Shasha escape—albeit for your own sake."

  Ian raised his sword and patted the face of the elf pirate with dark green long hair with the spine of his sword: "You have won you the chance to live."

   "But chance is just chance. Tell me, pirate, what reason do you have for me not to kill you?"

  The boy's tone was very calm, but because of this calmness, it gave Andor a kind of fear that he couldn't help himself, and his survival depended on his heart.

Unlike Isengarde's silly white sweetness, he had already seen when he was in the armor that the good-looking white man in front of him was essentially a lunatic who would not treat the enemy as a human being, and exuded indifference and ruthlessness from the bottom of his heart !

   "I, I only have the potion formula on me at the moment, and I don't have anything else on me..."

  Andor searched his brains, but could only realize with dismay that there was not much in him that would win him a 'chance to live'.

  As for the potion formula, for a genius who has already embarked on the road of goblin blood, this kind of thing is really a pity to eat and discard it. He himself feels that taking out this kind of thing is just a dying struggle.

"it is good."

  But Ian raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "Tell me what inheritance you are?"

   "Firefly jellyfish..."

Andor didn't quite understand the situation. He had no idea that Ian would be interested in this kind of thing, so he could only answer honestly: "The more common water system inheritance on Canaan Moore... Oh yes, I will Live fishing nets for live wooden boats!"

Speaking of his heritage, the pirate captain remembered how he modified his car on weekdays—the fishing net of his flagship live wooden boat was modified by him according to his heritage, which can release the fluorescence that attracts fish and get more fish. prey.

  At first, he didn't think this kind of thing was of any value to Ian, but since Ian was willing to accept even the potion formula, he would naturally struggle to the death.

   "Not bad." Sure enough, Ian is also very interested in this kind of miscellaneous things: "Tell me in detail."

  Under Andor's narration, Ian had a general understanding of the characteristics of the bloodline inheritance of the firefly jellyfish.

  The Youying jellyfish is a second-order inheritance of the water system. It is distantly related to the thunder-hunting jellyfish, but it is not as aggressive as the thunder-hunting jellyfish. It is more Buddhist and lives by fishing in the deep sea.

  Its biggest feature is that it can control the fine water flow to weave into a fishing net, and with the fluorescence that can attract sea fish, it can easily catch a whole school of fish.

Of course, in fact, it can’t eat that much, so after catching a school of fish, the Youying jellyfish will use the school of fish as bait to hunt bigger and stronger prey—at that time, it will show its true strength and use a belt The venomous sting completely paralyzes the enemy, dissolving from the inside out.

   "So, you actually know how to use poison."

  Ian nodded, he looked at Andor curiously, then shook his head in disappointment: "But you obviously don't know how to use poison."

   "Mr. Guide, it's not that I don't know how to use it, but it's unnecessary—who in Canaan Moore is afraid of poison..."

Andor was also a little helpless, he justified himself: "In my hometown, the forest creatures are poisonous, the aquatic creatures are poisonous, the bugs are poisonous, the plants are poisonous, and the animals are poisonous-it doesn't make sense to be poisonous, it's a person, including me Quick detoxification skills, as for the toxin dissolved by the firefly jellyfish, even a twelve-year-old child who often goes to the beach knows how to detoxify it!"

   This is of course an exaggeration, but the toxin of the firefly jellyfish is indeed not very lethal, and it is understandable that Andor is too lazy to delve into the toxin, but to enhance his own water attribute operation.

Ian actually feels that he can indeed learn from some of the fine manipulation abilities of the firefly jellyfish—whether it is the Wavesinger or the Fairy Wing, the use of the water element quality tends to be more powerful, and whoever has the loudest voice is the most powerful , but Ian couldn't control the water mist to suspend himself in the air smoothly, as Viscount Grant once showed.

   It is obviously not Ian's character to follow the path of the goblin according to the rules and distances. It is also the blood of the virtual machine installed on the silver chip anyway, so more experiments should be done.

   But the premise is that Ian has to collect enough relevant potion formulas and try them one by one before he can get the result he wants.

In addition to the formula of the firefly jellyfish, Andor also explained the production skills of live wooden boats and fishing nets... Although this is not a secret, the related inscription skills are indeed more proficient in the inheritance of the elves. There are not many overlaps with mainstream inscriptions, so it is difficult to be imitated.

  Ian doesn’t care much about this, anyway, just scan the silver chip for him, and learn slowly after returning home.

   "Is there any more?"

  Although he felt quite satisfied in his heart, Ian still asked casually.

   I didn’t expect it to exist!

   "This is the communication crystal board that the boss and I use to communicate with Patrick!"

Taking out the crystal plate directly from his pocket, the pirate captain said with some gratitude: "Fortunately, this thing is not broken, but the energy is used up—but as long as it is charged, the chat records between me and the boss can be extracted from it, which should be regarded as Evidence?"
