HPMRS CH 163: Ancestor of some fertiliser?

Update schedule will be Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday

...

In the sinkhole of the Emerald Dreamland, a large number of plants grew arbitrarily at the bottom of the hole. There are gaps in the staggered trees, allowing the sunlight to cast mottled spots of light below.

Two figures, one green and one black, quickly shuttled through the jungle, and soon the two figures approached the position of the pale red blood shadows.

At this time, the two figures concealed themselves behind a big rock. Ryan noticed that the senior in front of him slowly began to change, and gradually entered a state of Combat: he combined with his natural pet. A pair of cat ears appeared, and a tail grew behind him. Of course, if these things grow on cute girls, they will be very cute, but if they grow on muscular men, they look just plain wrong. Attack of furries.

However, after the two became one, Ryan noticed that the senior's aura suddenly jumped upwards, and at the same time, the flexibility and speed were far beyond the original state. It seems that this method can temporarily borrow some of the abilities of one's pets, but I don't know whether this method can be used outside the Emerald Dreamland.

At this time, another senior standing beside kindly explained to Ryan: "This kind of cooperation emphasizes the high synchronization rate with pets. Among them, animal pets are easier to co-operate with. It is more difficult to cultivate plant pets, but that has more benefits. It is more stable in cooperation. After the synchronization rate reaches a certain level, you can use this trick in the outside world. I know that the headmaster and the Herbology professor can do this. You can try it now, and I can give pointers."

"This knowledge is given for free, what's the catch?" Ryan asked, surprised. After all, he has personally experienced how much the magic world pays attention to knowledge exchange, and can't help but feel suspicious about this kind of free knowledge.

"Obviously not. There is no such thing as a free meal in the world. It's only that someone like you, who can enter the Emerald Dreamland on your own, will soon be able to figure it out on your own if you know this kind of synchronisation. I can tell you this kind of basic information for free in exchange for your good grace. It's only that if you want to learn more advanced levels of information and application, you'll have to either investigate it on your own or exchange it with us."

Although the way in which the exchange was defined was too realistic, it does not make people happy. But the senior still chose to speak these things upfront, and Ryan had a good impression of him because of this. After all, YouTube click-baits are the worse.

Under the guidance of the senior, Ryan and Xiaoqing started their first fusion experiment. With a burst of green light, Ryan could clearly feel Xiaoqing's power blending with himself. This kind of feeling that Ryan felt was not the kind of feeling that a beginner should have according to what the seniors said, but it is the kind of feeling that you have when your synchronization rate with a pet is high to a certain level.

Ryan was a little surprised at first, but later figured out the reason: Xiaoqing itself is a plant rather than an animal and has an inherent advantage, and Xiaoqing's wisdom also allows it to communicate with Ryan easily, instead of being the same as other plants. It's just that most of the plants have a very basic and ignorant soul, and it takes a long time to train them for cooperation for fusion.

More importantly, unlike other people who cultivated their natural pets since childhood, Ryan can be said to have created Xiaoqing from nothing.

This allowed Xiaoqing to regard Ryan as his creator and guaranteed 100% loyalty unless it goes the Lucifer way. Especially after Xiaoqing gained the recognition of natural consciousness, the synchronization rate between Xiaoqing and Ryan reached a very high level. Ryan could even feel that he could fuse with Xiaoqing in the real world too.

Therefore, Ryan does not need to explore how to use Xiaoqing's abilities now, Xiaoqing's intelligence is enough for it to tell Ryan how to use his abilities.

After merging with Xiaoqing, Ryan's reaction speed and body flexibility have been greatly improved, while gaining infrared vision and subcutaneous scales, Ryan also obtained the magic of venom spray and thorn manipulation and was able to temporarily recover his physical strength by drinking water and basking in the sun. On the contrary, his appearance has not changed much, but his eyes have become like snake eyes.

Seeing Ryan successfully transform in such a short time, the face of the senior who led the way showed a look of surprise. Because for him, this was certainly not a thing that a novice can do.

"Well, you can just watch me and learn how to adapt." The senior said with some enthusiasm, obviously, he was stimulated by Ryan.

Soon the senior and the shadows of death started the battle, and he used his flexible advantage to dash around in the woods. At the same time, he constantly fired some nature magic with his wand to attack those shadows of death who were chasing him.

It doesn't look too difficult, at least for individuals like Ryan who have experienced many wars firsthand. The current level is at most the level of basic skirmishes.

Those shadow of death attack method is very simple, in addition to direct melee, they only fire blood-red arrows for short-mid distance attacks. Not to mention that the shadows of death would stop every time before firing the arrow, and then their whole being will swell into a ball first, which was easy to spot in advance.

No wonder a few students came directly to this place and dared to bring completely novice Ryan to this place. It turns out that this place is a novice village at most.

Thinking of this, Ryan felt that he could just experiment with what he had learned, such as attacks from the God Clouds school that he had just learned last time.

Ryan quickly used magic power to form a rune in his hand and then aimed it towards a shadow of death.

"Derringer(thunder palm)." Following Ryan's chanting. A silver-white electric arc suddenly flew out of Ryan's hand and hit the shadow of death a few meters away.

The shadow of death turned into a puff of blue smoke directly after being struck by the palm of the lightning, and then a red bead the size of a soybean fell to the ground.

"Is the lightning magic so useful? You killed a shadow of death with a single attack." The senior said in surprise after seeing Ryan's behavior just now. After all, although the shadow of death cannot deal much damage itself, it is not so easy to deal with, even seniors have to attack several times to kill one.

"I don't know, maybe it was a weak one. By the way, what is this red bead used for?" Ryan felt that he could not explain to the senior student what the Eastern Lightning Method from another world was, so he quickly changed the subject and asked.

"Oh, we don't have an official name for this thing. It's just that everyone just calls it bloodball, we named it that from its looks. This is one of the rare things in the Emerald Dreamland that can be brought into the real world."

"It can be brought into reality. It sounds so powerful. What's the use of it?" Ryan knew that there were not many things that could be used in the Emerald Dream and reality at the same time. For example, Ryan's plants could only relay their power but not get in directly, basically, you can't bring out the flowers and trees from the Emerald Dreamland too. So when he knew that this thing could be brought to reality, he continued to inquire with great interest.

"Uh, this can be used to feed animals or used as fertilizer for plants, and the effect is pretty good." The senior said, somewhat emboldened.

Ryan felt this mood turn sour, What he thought to be a treasure turned out to be the ancestor of some fertiliser.
