Chapter 38 Candle Shadow Moth
Two days later, Russell finally received a text message from Dr. Xiamu:
"Meet at the animal pen of the Senluo Beast Control Alliance Building at three o'clock in the afternoon."
The newly purchased large mulberry silkworm eggs and brood leaves The insects haven't arrived yet, so Lu Yinning can take care of the existing pet beasts by herself. After receiving the news, he hurried to the agreed place.
After showing the electronic communication certificate that Dr. Natsuki sent along with the message, Russell took the elevator to the third underground floor of the Beast Control Alliance Building.
It is composed of many separate ecological breeding barns, and each breeding barn contains wild pet animals that are still in the process of being domesticated.
Russell had also seen the same type of animal pen at the Black Dew Forest Trial Ground, but the venue configuration there was much lower, and the value of the pet animals imprisoned was completely incomparable to that here.
"Hello, visitor, Dr. Xia Mu is waiting for you in Ecological Warehouse No. 39."
As soon as he stepped into the entrance of the negative three floors, the management office staff waiting at the door led Russell to an ecological room with a green indicator light. Breeding warehouse.
Green represents safety. This indicator light indicates that the wild pets in the breeding barn have been basically tamed and are no longer obviously aggressive and can come into contact with other people.
As the barn door slowly opened, Russell saw many artificially planted broad-leaf flowering plants, as well as a computer-simulated image of the moon. This environment was indeed very suitable for the habitation of nocturnal moths that like to suck nectar.
Next to a starry orchid that is taller than a human, Dr. Natsuki is leaning over to observe a pet moth lying on the flower eating. Next to him is a tall man with several scars on his arms. muscular man.
Seeing Russell walking into the breeding warehouse, Dr. Xia Mu turned around and introduced to him:
"Russell, let me introduce you. This is Zhou Jian, the captain of the Senluo City Stunt Hunting Team, a sixth-level professional beast master. He was the captain of the Senluo City Stunt Hunting Team some time ago. The hunting mission is to capture this lord-level candle shadow moth."
As he spoke, Dr. Xia Mu pointed at the small moth in front of him, which was not much bigger than an adult's hand.
"...Is this a lord-level moth pet?"
Looking up and down at this black moth that looked like an ordinary person could kill it with a slap, Russell couldn't help but reveal his face even in front of the academic authority of Senluo City. A suspicious expression.
If we talk about the appearance alone, this candle shadow moth is quite beautiful. Its pitch-black wings are dotted with dark red spots, just like sparks in the dark night. It is beautiful but also a bit eerie.
However, it is so small in size and does not emit obvious life energy or pressure of the same level. Judging from Russell's experience of dealing with low-level beasts, it is only a bronze and silver-level pet beast.
Recalling that Queen Bee's body shape was similar to that of an ordinary person, and her appearance as a king could be seen at a glance, he couldn't help but wonder, if they were both lord-level pet beasts, would the difference be so big?
"The Candle Shadow Moth is a very rare insect-type pet beast, and it involves military use, so there are no records about it in public databases or sales books. I have brought an excerpt of the information for you to take a look at."
Probably Anticipating that Russell would take advantage of appearance, Dr. Xia Mu directly threw him a few documents prepared in advance.
"The Candle Shadow Moth is a gold-level pet with dual attributes of insect and ghost. The racial talent is Shadow Stitch. It can control shadows to achieve group invisibility at night and in dark places, or forcefully control enemies within the range through shadows...?"
See After finishing this document, Russell felt deeply ashamed of his superficiality just now.
It's both group invisibility and group control. This Candle Shadow Moth's ability is a bit powerful.
From the perspective of racial ability, Candle Shadow Moth is very good at hiding. This ability must work on both the visual and aura levels to avoid detection by other beasts. No wonder he didn't feel the suppression of the fifth-level pet beast even when he was standing so close. feel.
Moreover, the literature also mentioned that the Candle Shadow Moth is not a natural lord-level pet like Queen Bee. Its tribe is called Shadow Moth, a bronze-level pet that is good at controlling shadows.
If they want to become the leader of the group, the shadow moths must compete with each other for the ability to control shadows. Only by making their talents and skills transcend the limitations of blessing themselves and single-target control, and achieve the effect of group hiding and group control, can they obtain the blessing of starlight. Evolves into a Candleshade Moth with dancing stars on its wings.
Due to this competitive atmosphere in terms of strength, although the number of a group of shadow moths is difficult to exceed a hundred, the average strength is far greater than that of honey pot bees, a farming beast that lives in peace with the world.
As for the military use mentioned by Dr. Natsuki, it refers to the excellent talent of the Candle Shadow Moth in stealth detection and control of scenes. With it leading a group of subordinates to patrol around, it can greatly improve the nighttime security of an urban area.
"How do you need to observe? Do we need to avoid it?"
After Russell finished reading the document, Dr. Natsuki, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, immediately asked. "No need..."
After hearing this, Russell was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head with a fake smile.
In fact, he really wanted to say, "If you are more conscious, get out quickly!" However, due to Dr. Natsuki's obvious desire to stay and watch, Russell had to make some compromises.
Furthermore, this high-standard ecological cultivation warehouse is 100% equipped with full-process monitoring. If Dr. Xiamu wants to peep into his secrets, it doesn't make much sense just to break away from the naked eye.
Anyway, he only needs to get close to the lord-level pet beast and have some energy exchange with it. Even if there are some light and energy fluctuations, it is still an extremely common situation in the process of using the beast control talent, and there is nothing special about them.
Under the direct gazes of Dr. Xia Mu and Zhou Jian, Russell walked towards the Candle Shadow Moth lying on the orchid with a helpless expression.
Since the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent passively increased a lot of insect affinity, upon noticing his approach, the Candle Shadow Moth did not make any move, but slowly flapped its wings in a friendly manner.
Sure enough, just as Russell expected, after attracting the attention of the Candle Shadow Moth, a low spiritual voice was quickly heard in his mind: "
Your... breath, close."
The message conveyed by the Candle Shadow Moth was very Simple, but enough to prove that the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent can indeed allow Russell to directly communicate mentally with insect beasts with higher intelligence.
This ability cannot be said to be very powerful, but it is quite practical and is a little surprise.
"Can you give me some guidance, or...well, how should I put it, can you transfer some energy to me?"
With a slight excitement, Russell quickly sent a message back to Candle Shadow Moth.
It's just that he doesn't know how to describe Queen Bee's operation when she helped unlock the "evolutionary halo" last time, so he can only give a rough description.
Fortunately, the Candle Shadow Moth successfully understood Russell's meaning. It flapped its wings and flew into Russell's palm, generously sending out a black energy with a bit of coolness.
As this energy seeped from the palm of his hand and climbed all the way up his arms and chest to his head, Russell once again experienced that wonderful and hazy feeling, and his "Cocoon of Evolution" talent also changed accordingly.
"Get energy sharing from lord-level insect-type pets, and the passive talent evolution aura ability improves.
Your beast-controlling space energy begins to slowly release, which can continue to affect the growth process of certain insect-type pets within a certain range, allowing it to slowly optimize its bloodline. and energy, increasing the upper limit of growth.
Current scope of action: 150 meters
Unlocked races: bees, moths. "
After squinting his eyes to digest the comfort brought by the re-evolution of his talent, Russell showed a happy smile.
After receiving the energy shared by the Candle Shadow Moth, he not only successfully unlocked the halo authority of the moth pet beast, but also expanded the halo range by half. This trip to the animal pen can be said to be a worthwhile trip.
At the same time, Dr. Xia Mu and Zhou Jian glanced at each other with question marks, and their faces were confused.
Except for seeing the candle shadow moth taking the initiative to get close to Russell , one person and one pet blended their abilities for a few seconds, and then the Candle Shadow Moth seemed a little tired, and they did not draw any useful conclusions. Could it be that Russell has some extremely sinister beast-control talent that can absorb the
pet beast? He uses his life force for his own use?
But this talent will naturally make the pet beast avoid it, which is contradictory to the scene of the candle shadow moth taking the initiative to fly into his palm.
After some eye contact, the two reached a consensus:
This kid Not simple...
