That's a beautiful little snake.
The light blue body has faint ripples of starlight, the golden pupils are as calm as sunlight, and the snake's head is inlaid with pale white bone fragments, making it look like a crystal clear pet.
The only thing that is somewhat supernatural is probably the small horn on the forehead, which shows its extraordinary nature.
The little snake spat out messages to its host and even licked his face while he was sleeping.
Lu Ping'an stretched out his hand, and the little thing wrapped it around him.
It wrapped around half of Lu Pingan's arm and half of his palm, opened his mouth in Lu Pingan's palm, and stuck out his bright red tongue.
This little guy's eyes were extremely human, full of longing and closeness.
Lu Ping'an even thought it was a bit cute. Thinking of his other two magic pets, he felt even more cute.
"Are you hungry?"
When a pet becomes clingy, it is often not because it is friendly to you, but because it is begging for food.
The little guy seemed to understand, and actually nodded humanely.
After thinking about it, Lu Ping'an wrapped it around his hand and took it out.
"Hey, it looks like you're recovering well."
Along the way, someone took the initiative to say hello to him.
But the strange thing is that no one paid attention to Ah Jiu on his hand, it was so obvious.
"Oh, I just woke up, what do you think this is?"
"What? Are there any injuries on your hands? It doesn't look very obvious. Why don't you go see a doctor?" The man was a little surprised. Isn't his hand in good condition? Could it be a fracture and internal injury?
"It's okay. It might be an illusion. I've been very tired recently and my whole body hurts."
Facing other people, Ajiuli didn't want to pay attention. It spat out the snake letter and narrowed its eyes.
It seems that no one really saw this little snake along the way. It seems that it has the ability to make people invisible.
I walked to the canteen and got some dry food and dried meat. He took two bites and then put them down. It seemed that they were not his thing.
At this time, Lu Ping'an also checked its information.
[Ajiu (black iron lower larval creature)]
[Physique: Mortal, Reflex: Mortal, Spirit: Black Iron Lower. 】
[Hub: What are you looking at? It’s still a child. Do you expect it to fly? Feed it more and play with it more. Your child needs a complete childhood. 】
Unlike Zhixi and Xiao Huo Miao, who have perfect abilities and even become adults right after they are born, Ajiu's growth path is quite normal. It comes out of an egg and needs time and resources to grow.
After thinking for a while, Lu Pingan took out some "turtle flesh and blood" again. This time, it ate very happily.
Then, Lu Ping'an tried the "cooking products" again. As long as they have extraordinary properties, they can basically be eaten.
In the experiment, it was also able to chew spinner stones and was very happy eating them. It seems that it is not a very picky eater.
And as I ate, I could see growth that was visible to the naked eye.
Ah Jiu has grown up a lot, but there is no obvious change in his face. It seems that he still needs more nutrients.
"Get more spin stones and turtle meat."
It’s not necessarily true that what you eat is what you eat, but Ajiu’s components include these two, and it eats very happily, so it should be beneficial to it.
Of course, what Lu Ping An wanted to try feeding the most was the divine bones, but that thing might be difficult to get again.
As soon as he thought of it, he did it. Lu Ping'an went directly to the officer of the independent group and asked about the origin of those sacred bones.
The answer I got was quite subtle.
"Ossian?"
This is an expected answer. Currently, the only sure way to obtain the divine bone fragments is to ask a rule-level boss to smash them. At this point in time, only the Os people can do it.
The trial-type Bone God Cannon was also an experimental product that was finalized a year ago, and there were only two of them.
reason? Of course, like other "Spin Power Stone" weapons, their power is greatly reduced after leaving this world.
"So, maybe only the Os people have chopped divine bone fragments in their hands?"
". It should be that the things are there, and it is not difficult to cut them off, but work that costs more than the output lacks mining value."
Judging from the data, even if a rule-level expert wanted to cut this thing off, it would be very laborious and troublesome. If the cost was too high, naturally no one would have the motivation to do it.
Lu Ping'an was a little helpless. Thinking of the large pile of sacred bones in the mine, and seemingly destined to be empty-handed when entering the treasure mountain, he still felt a little regretful.
Just those exaggeratedly hard bones, he felt, should be able to "strengthen" Zhixi's defense. Even if it was just a plating, it would be a qualitative improvement.
".Find a way to get two more divine bones."
This thing is difficult to consume. The Os people were willing to pay any price to develop this material. There should be many similar experimental products.
At this time, Ah Jiu had already eaten a tableful of ore and was lying on the table taking a nap. Its size was no smaller than that of an adult python.
"Will it be effective so quickly?" Lu Ping'an just became happy, and the next moment.
"Gah." Snake burped and shrank again.
Then, the body trembled and shrank, and finally returned to the appearance when they first met.
The little ones formed a circle, yawned, and went straight to sleep.
After eating so much food, it seems that it can only be regarded as daily supply, and there is no obvious change at all.
It seems that this little thing is a bit expensive.
Seeing this scene, Lu Pingan had an idea and took it with him.
He walked quickly into the mine. The moment he was wrapped around his hand, Ah Jiu woke up.
Before Lu Pingan could say anything, it rushed over.
At this time, Lu Ping'an also smiled. He just remembered that Ah Jiu's ingredients contained a large amount of "bone slime". Perhaps, like slime, it could be integrated into it and absorb the nutrients of the sacred bones.
Now it seems that this conjecture is correct.
"boom!"
But unlike the expected fusion, Ah Jiu not only failed to penetrate, but was also knocked out of the "illusory form".
At this moment, many people looked over and saw the snake. The road beside it was safe, which made others look away.
Ah Jiu failed, but it did not give up. Instead, it rubbed its face, pushed it with its head, and knocked it with its teeth. Only then did Lu Ping'an notice that those parts had a light white bone glow.
The homologous material came into play again, and the bone parts on Ah Jiu's body slowly glowed. It opened its mouth with satisfaction and began to continue sucking.
The milky white light was obviously shifting, and it had eaten it. Sometimes the little snake was stretched, and sometimes it shrank again, and this progress was several times faster than before.
These sacred bones, it seems, can become its baby milk powder.
This undoubtedly made Lu Ping'an breathe a sigh of relief. Not to mention meat and food, Xuanli Stone is also an extremely valuable hard currency in the local area. Perhaps after leaving this world, Xuanli Stone weapons will become toy guns, but this does not affect their use in the industry. The extremely high practical value and cost-effectiveness here.
The scene of the little snake clinging to the giant bone was a little funny, but soon Lu Ping'an noticed that it had disappeared again. Only the wriggling silver teeth showed that it was still biting.
It seemed that this was not a temporary matter. Lu Ping'an told the local guard and asked him to help take care of it, and then left.
He knew that even though this little guy was small, it was unrealistic for others to catch him.
"Free canteen, eat more and grow up quickly. We don't have much leisure time for you to cook."
