In the wind and rain, the rain soaked the guard's cloak, almost clinging to his body. A bolt of lightning flashed through, and the silhouette of his figure was outlined, which made Wei Ling a little overwhelmed.
Shou Gong extracted and reproduced the face of a beauty recognized by men all over the world, with some raindrops, dark hair scattered across her cheeks, clear and penetrating eyes... Wei Ling suddenly blushed, and his eyes wandered to elsewhere.
Shou Gong thought the young master was a little funny.
Suddenly, Wei Ling's eyes narrowed.
The guard also turned around abruptly.
In the distance, amid the wind and rain, a strange beast walked slowly.
Sharp eyes were staring at the two of them closely.
Overall, this strange beast looks like a clouded leopard, but it is much larger than an ordinary clouded leopard.
It was over three meters tall, and its snow-white fur was covered with large stripes.
What's even weirder is that there are electric lights flickering between the Clouded Leopard's body and eyes.
Wei Ling and Shou Gong were secretly on guard, keeping a close eye on the strange clouded leopard, but did not attack rashly.
They all know the standard stooping posture of all cats before attacking, as well as the accompanying low growl.
The strange beast in front of them did not appear to be attacking. On the contrary, Welling and Shou Gong actually saw two words from its expression and eyes:
curious.
Welling and Gecko were naturally curious too.
The size of an ordinary clouded leopard is only one-third the size of this strange beast, and there should be no such animal in this area and latitude.
That day in the square of the county town, Welling saw with his own eyes the mind and outcome of the mutated shadow leopard.
The alien beast was still approaching slowly, and its eyes became increasingly clear to the two of them.
It can be concluded that this strange beast has no intention of attacking the two of them.
"Wow..."
A huge electric light fell on the alien beast.
The bluish snowy electric light flowed in circles on the body of the alien beast, but it did not cause it any discomfort. It still looked at the two people in confusion, especially at the guard.
At this time, another bolt of lightning fell on the guard and disappeared.
This situation seemed to make the alien beast make up its mind. It walked a few steps quickly and reached a place less than ten meters away from the two of them. It lay on the ground and its vertical pupils became round:
"Thor? Is it you...you...?"
Wei Ling and Shou Gong were stunned as if they had been electrocuted.
There are actually beasts that can use the mind body?
It actually knows how to imprint ideas into human thoughts and consciousness?
The key is that it still uses the common language of Xixuan, which is stammering and has wrong grammar, like a child who can't speak yet.
In an instant, Wei Ling thought of Xie Wuyi and the shadow leopard. The shadow leopard must have been a little wise and resisted the fate of being subdued, so he chose to commit suicide.
Thinking of this, Wei Ling packed Daxia's language and text information and threw it to the strange beast.
Obviously, the alien beast received the information package.
Its head flashed with electricity, as if it was receiving understanding.
After a while, the alien beast's eyes became clear, and it printed another piece of information into the minds of the two of them. This time it used Daxia's language message, and its semantics became smooth and normal:
"Thank you, I'm curious...you are not afraid of thunder and lightning. You...can...absorb thunder and lightning, just like me."
At the same time, it looked at the gecko with confusion on its face.
The gecko throws out the message:
"Why do you know how to use Xixuan's language?"
"A long time ago... there were several... people who entered this area... well, they were different from you, they should be the Xixuan people in your... language... attacked me and was electrocuted by me. One... I was very curious, and if I kept him alive, he could never teach me...the complete language...I ate him...it didn't taste good."
Wei Ling and Shou Gong smiled similarly, feeling eye-opening:
"How did you get here?"
The alien beast raised its paw and pointed to the south:
"It feels like I've been walking for a long time from there. There are often...thunder and lightning here. I like it."
The gecko curiously threw out the message:
"Are you a clouded leopard? Do you like to absorb the energy of thunder and lightning?"
The alien beast nodded, then became a little confused:
"I should be a Clouded Leopard, but I'm different from...my parents...my brothers and sisters, well, that's the word...I feel like I'm no longer the same species as them...I'm now...yes, yes This word, practitioner.”
Wei Ling and Shu Gong both nodded.
When an animal possesses extraordinary wisdom and consciousness that far exceeds that of its kind, and has a concept of self and spiritual practice, it really should not be considered an animal.
Clouded Leopard felt a little happy when he saw the two men nodding in approval. He approached them and lay on the ground, ignoring the mud and water:
"I... know that you know a lot, can you teach me more? I will pay you."
This is undoubtedly the smartest clouded leopard. In such a short time, it has mastered the language of Daxia and is becoming more and more fluent.
Although it cannot speak yet, and may never be able to speak due to the different structure of its vocal cords, it has been able to imprint its thoughts into the minds of the two people in the form of Daxia language information.
"Okay, what do you want to learn?"
Welling found it very interesting and did not ask what the reward was.
Clouded Leopard stood up and looked around, at Wei Ling and Gong Gong, and even got closer to smell their breath. He looked at the vehicle parked not far away and shook his head slightly:
"I... don't understand anything, I should learn everything..."
Wei Ling burst into laughter, thinking of the systematic cultural knowledge he had received in school while accompanying Nan Xing and others, and he made a decision.
He believes that these simple common sense knowledge covering many fields can be taught to clouded leopards.
Immediately, Wei Ling classified and packaged all the knowledge one by one, and then encapsulated the common sense, goals and results of various practices of the original spells.
Taking into account the identity of the opponent as a mutant beast, Wei Ling also based on some records that he thought were relatively reliable, including the ancient Qi practitioners' drinking dew, tempering the body with spiritual energy, and various so-called monster transformation methods in the Daxia tradition. , slightly organized, and separated into an information package.
In a flash of mental power, he had already thrown the information packets to Clouded Leopard one by one.
Such a huge amount of data caused the Clouded Leopard to stagger and stumble instantly, as if he was drunk, unable to find a sense of balance for a long time.
After a long time, the clouded leopard's figure stabilized, and the electric light on its body had faded to the point of being imperceptible, as if it had consumed too much energy.
What’s funny is that after it stabilized its body, it actually stood up and bowed its two front legs towards Welling like a dog:
"You are my husband, teacher and master... I finally no longer drink hair, drink blood, be ignorant, and am no longer a beast..."
Wei Ling couldn't help but laugh: "It's up to you, you can still be considered a half-teacher. I think you are the smartest clouded leopard I have ever seen."
The guard also smiled and praised the polite clouded leopard:
"Yes, you are a very beautiful clouded leopard too."
The clouded leopard's expression became more humane, and it grinned: "It's not a beautiful clouded leopard, it's a handsome clouded leopard. I'm a man."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The two burst into laughter.
Welling thought for a moment and gave another message:
"Clouded leopard is the common name of your original species. It cannot be used as an individual name. For example, we are all human beings, but our names cannot be 'human'. You can give yourself a name."
Clouded Leopard nodded and continued to shake its two front paws up and down: "Teacher, please give me a name..."
Shou Gong couldn't help but keep his mouth shut again.
Welling thought for a moment, thought about it, smiled and gave the answer:
"You turn out to be Clouded Leopard, and your name should be Yuanbao."
"Okay, okay, I have a name, Yuanbao, it's a nice name."
The clouded leopard jumped, with a very human expression.
Wellington paused:
"There are records in ancient books that there is a beast in Zhang'e Mountain. It looks like a red leopard, with five tails and one horn. Its sound is like hitting a stone. Its name is ferocious.
In the future, when your cultivation ability reaches its peak, you may be even more powerful than the ferocious beast in ancient legends. "
The Clouded Leopard nodded frequently, turned around and faced the direction it came from, and raised a paw to wave to the Welling Guard. It looked weird:
"Thank you teacher, please come with me!"
Wei Ling and Shou Gong looked at each other and followed Yuan Bao.
In fact, not far from where they landed, they turned two corners and found a huge cave.
The strangest thing is that there are a large amount of metal residues melted at high temperatures and carbonized animal bones outside the cave. They are a huge black pile and piled randomly on the slope outside the cave.
Following Yuan Bao into the cave, I unexpectedly found that the cave was quite dry and there was no smell. It seemed that the clouded leopard did not feed on the flesh and blood of other animals.
There are actually some remnants of metal structures in the cave, including flying vehicles, cold weapons, and some parts of exoskeletons and mechas, most of which are incomplete and damaged.
"These are ingots that were brought back to caves from places far and wide around here during their tours. These metals can conduct lightning energy. I don't understand this..."
Yuanbao explained its treasure collection:
"Now with the knowledge imparted by the teacher, Yuanbao has a clear understanding of this... well, the world. Today, Yuanbao has gained knowledge that was unimaginable before."
Afterwards, Yuan Bao dug through a pile of old metal, took out a dirty gray linen bag, held it in front of Wei Ling and Shou Gong, and looked at the two of them expectantly, his big eyes filled with pride:
"Teacher, this is the reward Yuanbao gives you."
Welling knelt down and opened his pocket.
There are dozens of small transparent plastic bottles in the pocket, which look like those used by wilderness hunters to hold various potions.
There is a golden liquid in the bottle, and the liquid has a slight luster.
It behaves like mercury, except it is not silver in color.
Welling took out a small bottle and weighed it. He felt that it was quite heavy. The density of the liquid substance was even far higher than that of gold.
"These bottles are...I obtained them from the Xixuan people.
There wasn't so much liquid at first. This kind of liquid can be eaten and it's not easy to get hurt if you eat it.
Over the years, I have found animal bones and metals containing this from places covering hundreds of kilometers. "
The literal and physical concepts of Yuanbao are becoming clearer and clearer, and both have the concept of area.
After sending this message, Yuan Bao took out a huge white bone.
He threw a large bone of an unknown animal in front of him, held both ends with his two claws, and with a "oooo" sound, he spit out a bright electric light, which was covered with white bones.
After a moment, the electric light disappeared, and the white bones had turned pitch black, carbonized at high temperatures, and lost their original firmness.
Wei Ling and Shou Gong clearly saw a golden liquid as big as a small drop of water seeping out from the charred bones and dripping to the ground.
The golden beads fell on the ground and did not penetrate into the rock. Instead, they slowly moved towards the worn metal next to them.
Wei Ling and Shu Gong were stunned.
Isn't this characteristic of gathering metal the T205 metal Li Kongqing mentioned?
Yuan Bao didn't notice the abnormality between the two of them and took off the cap of another empty plastic bottle.
I can't believe that its claws can do such subtle operations.
Yuan Bao placed the mouth of the bottle against the golden liquid bead, put it in gently, then closed the lid and put it into the linen bag with his paws.
After doing all this, he looked at Wei Ling and Shou Gong as if Yuan Bao was offering a treasure.
Seeing Wei Ling and Gong Gong being so surprised, it tilted its head, a little confused:
"Teacher, sir, master? Didn't Yuanbao do it right? This is the method I experimented with.
Anyway, there are thunder and lightning here every two days, so I didn’t find it troublesome. I gradually accumulated so many vials, and the vials were left by those Xixuan people..."
Welling and Gecko laughed.
Shou Gong couldn't help but pat Yuan Bao's head lovingly.
Seeing that it seemed to enjoy this intimate gesture, the gecko also dropped a message to it. The main content was knowledge about minerals, metals, alloys, and machinery.
Wei Ling also packed up what he knew about T205 metal and threw it to Yuan Bao.
The two of them sighed that this guy's talent could actually use the high current of lightning to melt metal and carbonize bones, thereby achieving the purpose of extracting rare metals.
After receiving the information packet, Yuan Baoma briefly understood it and seemed very happy:
"Thank you for the knowledge imparted by the teacher. I finally understand what this thing is... I gained too much knowledge today, that's okay. It will take me a long, long time to digest and understand it."
