Chapter 127 127. Exchange life for gold
After he decided, he started trying directly.
He extracted the power from the Kong Yao chip, and through the Qi Yao engraving technique, began to form the prototype of a small circular array.
This is the carrier of this magic.
As long as this round chip is inserted into the eye of a creature, the nerves will be automatically cut off and paralyzed.
This will complete the effectiveness of the blindness technique.
Of course, with the Celestial Spirit Body Engraving Technique, Croya can choose to do it the same way he did when he was engraving King Mu Yaoqu Vine.
First make an engraving on the gold-eating worm's astral body, exactly where the goddess's gold coin is, and then put the prepared magic carrier into it.
To be honest, the process of manipulation is a bit like performing a precise surgery. Croya must wrap the engraving carrier of the blindness technique just right around the goddess's gold coin.
This process can only be accomplished by using the astral body engraving technique to clearly see the astral body of the gold-eating worm.
Under his control, the carrier of the blindness spell was perfectly covered on the gold coin of the goddess's head.
The platinum-gold radiance belonging to the power of the sky is like a curtain, covering the goddess's head and blocking the golden light it emits.
[Successful engraving, gold-eating worm·The curse of the Goddess of Wealth (blindness)]
[Before the power of Kong Yao is completely exhausted, the curse of the Goddess of Wealth will become ineffective. 】
【The speed of failure can be delayed by replenishing the power of the sky in time. 】
The moment the engraving took effect, the worm that was imprinted on it started to tremble, and then began to crazily eat the gold at Croya's feet.
While eating, he spit out extremely thin golden threads, forming a cocoon next to his body and wrapping himself in it.
The golden cocoon is flowing with gorgeous light.
This is pure gold silk thread!
With a little effort, it can be used as a magic pattern for a magic circle. Gold is a very good magic-guiding metal.
It was treated like a cocoon.
"How long did it take you to break out of the cocoon..."
"Huh?"
Before Croya could think about it, the golden light on the cocoon turned inward towards the cocoon. It instantly lost its luster and became like gray-white waste.
The next second, a golden butterfly emerged from the cocoon, its wings flowing like liquid gold.
Kloya’s figure actually appeared on it.
As it flaps its wings and flies, the things above are constantly changing.
Just like a cartoon, there is a scene where a worm kowtows to Croya, and then Croya waves his hand to help it, and it gets into the cocoon, and finally breaks out of the cocoon and becomes a butterfly.
Don’t tell me, both the image of Cloya and the image of the worm are quite vivid.
It’s like a real recorded scene.
The magic power emanating from it changed very obviously, from breaking out of the cocoon to dancing around Croya, as if it improved every time it flapped its wings.
When it finally landed on Croya's finger, it had reached the fourth level of magic power.
At the same time, its race has also changed -
The Golden Divine Butterfly.
It is as bright and gorgeous as gold, and as noble and elegant as the legendary gods. Simply looking at its appearance, it really fits the name.
"Level 4 Demonic Insect, you should understand what I say."
Cloya stretched out his finger and poked it: "What can you help me with?"< br>
The picture on the wings of the Golden Divine Butterfly changed again. This time it was facing a stone and after flapping its wings several times, simple lines showed the changes in the stone's light.
"Well..."
Although it was a bit strange, Croya still understood its meaning.
"You said you can turn stone into gold?"
This time, no picture appeared on the wings of the golden butterfly. It flapped its wings to indicate that it was correct.
Then, it flew directly to a stone nearby.
It flapped its wings gently, and golden dust like phosphorus powder was sprinkled on the surface of its wings.
Extremely small.
When each particle falls on the surface of the stone, it is like ink dripping into the water, dipping from the landing point to the side, and the golden color gradually spreads.
After it flapped its wings many times, the entire stone, which was about the size of its head, turned golden.
“Did it really turn into gold?” Croya immediately walked over to check and found that this ordinary stone really turned into gold!
Although the purity is not as high as the gold just now, it is still gold after all.
He held the piece of gold and looked at the Golden Divine Butterfly as if he were seeing a miracle.
The Midas touch turns stone into gold, this is the real Midas touch!
Even in the world of magic, it is estimated that only the top legendary or even god-level magic can achieve this level.
It involves changes in matter, and it is an extremely stable substance like gold.
A butterfly did it?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this piece of gold was still in his hand.
"What's the price?"
Cloya looked at the Golden Divine Butterfly and found that the latter's wings seemed to be slightly faded. The beautiful wings that were originally flowing with golden light looked like It was covered with a layer of gray shadow, and the slapping movements were a little weak.
That’s not because the wings have faded, it’s because of its vitality.
This is...exchanging his own life force for the appearance of these golds.
However, even so, this ability is still very exaggerated. If life force could really be exchanged for gold... I don't know how many lords and big shots would be willing to sacrifice slaves to get gold.
Sometimes life is priceless, and sometimes it is indeed not as valuable as imagined.
“You cast it again and let me see.”
In order to figure out how it casts the spell, Croya took a very small stone and placed it in front of it, and then stared at it. holding it.
When it flapped its wings and scattered phosphorus powder, Croya noticed keenly that the mark of the goddess of wealth, which had been blocked by the power of the sky, trembled slightly.
The mark seemed to absorb something and then released some golden light.
It is this golden light mixed with the phosphorus powder of the Golden Divine Butterfly that creates such a miracle.
"Divinity." He was very sure that this was a kind of magic that sacrificed himself, using his own life force to sacrifice to the goddess of wealth in exchange for the birth of gold.
The question is why can it be changed like this?
In that story, wasn't its ancestor cursed because he angered the goddess of wealth?
This magic of exchanging life force for gold would be given to a cursed person?
“…”
“Wait.”
He suddenly realized something and his face became serious.
What if these gold-eating worms need to keep looking for gold to maintain their lives? What if they can't find gold?
Or the gold somewhere was taken away.
So is this the only way they can choose to exchange life force for gold?
If the vitality is gone, in the end... you will still die.
If you really have the same idea as him, then this ability is not a magical skill, but an obvious curse.
If you don’t have gold, you will die immediately. You have to use your life force to exchange for it. If you have gold but can’t eat it, you will die slowly.
There is no way to escape the word death.
"What a terrifying method. It gives hope but cannot escape despair. Is this the goddess's plan?"
He couldn't help but shook his head: "What on earth did you do in the first place? If you offend the goddess, let her target you like this.”
It would be too outrageous if it was really just because of eating the tables and chairs.
The golden butterfly flapped its wings in confusion and landed obediently on Croya's shoulder.
After sighing with emotion, he calmly thought about whether this ability had any value - if it could be ensured that it had enough vitality, would it be able to continuously produce gold?
I spent so much energy not just to do good things, but also to find a way to get benefits.
To be honest, it is not a problem to get some vitality. The book Orpheus Oak gave him at that time contained an ability called natural absorption.
It is to draw a little life force from the magic plant and then transfer it to another magic plant.
This method is actually used to give some help to those magic plants that are unable to obtain their own vitality and are on the verge of death, to see if there can be any miracles after gaining vitality.
Of course it can also be applied to Warcraft.
“Is it possible to transfer the vitality through this method?”
He directly ordered the gopher to ask the dolphins to find some fish, and then used natural absorption on the fish—— Magic tentacles like roots stretched out from his fingertips, pierced directly into the fish's body, and began to slowly draw out a little bit of green light.
The poor fish struggled less vigorously.
But fortunately Croya restrained himself and did not suck it dry.
“Thank you.”
After the absorption was completed, Croya poured a ball of magic power into it and threw it back into the water.
There is no other way but to use this method to make up for it.
After this magic power is consumed, it should be able to advance, and the lost vitality can naturally be replenished.
Cloya took the small ball of light green light in his hand and pressed it into the body of the Golden Divine Butterfly.
As a result, this vitality was immediately absorbed by the gold coins of the Goddess of Wealth as soon as it was irrigated.
Not only that, it also sucked in some more butterfly life force.
Obviously this method doesn't work.
How should I put it? Although it was a bit disappointing, it was also within Croya’s expectation.
The vitality injected from the outside cannot replenish it.
It must be its own vitality.
If this is the case, then even if Croya imprints this magic into it, it will not work.
Because in the final analysis it is an external force.
"Vitality..."
He stared at the butterfly, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind——
Is it okay to combine the butterfly with the magic plant and provide it with vitality through the magic plant?
The vitality of magic plants is very strong.
The only question is...
After the magic plant is combined with it, does it count as its vitality?
Chloë thought that he could give it a try.
