It was dawn, and Lu Yuan sat on Dabai, looking up at the changes in the sun in the sky.
There were two suns in the sky of the First Age. Half an hour ago, they were moons, and in the blink of an eye they became suns.
Rising or falling?
Lu Yuan did not see such a process, only a scene like the Tengu eclipsing the moon.
The moon slowly turned dark, as if being swallowed by darkness, and then slowly turned bright from absolute darkness, and the sun's light gradually occupied the entire circular surface.
In the sixth era, there was only one sun in the sky, which would rise from the east and set in the west. It was different from the first era. I don’t know what events happened in the middle that changed the future generations.
The mountain road ahead is rugged, overgrown with weeds, and no one has set foot on it for a long time.
The old man used an old machete to scrape the bushes over and over again to clear the way for Lu Yuan.
In fact, the old man can train a mountain mantis pet, which is extremely powerful at cutting grass and wood. It will fall down one piece at a time, so there is no need to go to the trouble of doing it himself.
"Have you ever thought about raising a mountain mantis pet?"
With nothing to do, Lu Yuan casually chatted.
"Master, you are joking, the whirlwind mantis beast cannot be raised by ordinary people like me." Uncle Jiang shook his head.
"Cyclone Mantis? No, no, I'm talking about the Mountain-Opening Mantis. Why, haven't you heard of it?" Lu Yuan asked.
In later generations, the founding mantis is a very classic evolutionary route. From ancient times to the present, there have been hundreds of breeding plans, which can be raised either in poverty or in wealth.
The Mountain-Building Mantis is a two-star pet beast that evolved from the one-star Mantis. It can break mountains and rocks with a single move of "Mountain-Building Style" practiced to a perfect level, but consumes very little physical energy.
If you use this technique to split a tree to open a road, it is more than enough. It can be said to be a killing of chickens with a sledgehammer.
For example, Jiang Bo's family has no financial conditions and can live free-range, as long as they prepare evolution materials.
When it reaches the moment of transformation, feed it with evolutionary materials and use divine sense acupuncture to stimulate it to evolve into a mountain-forming mantis.
After evolution, it can still be kept free-range. It does not need to be fed at ordinary times. It can be allowed to hunt in the forest by itself. When needed, it can be called back to farm work. It is one of the favorite species among farmers.
Lu Yuan told Uncle Jiang everything about the mantis.
At first, Uncle Jiang suspected that Lu Yuan had got the name wrong.
When he heard the detailed evolution route, evolution material formula, and specific evolution method, he was shocked.
"This, this, is this what you told me? These should be sect secrets, right?"
"Secret? Not for the people over there. As long as you are willing to learn the information about Kaishan Mantis, you can search it. It's okay if I tell you. What, are you interested?" Lu Yuan said with a smile.
Uncle Jiang was indeed moved, and he was very fascinated by what he heard.
You don't need to take careful care of it at ordinary times, just keep it free-range. When the mantis is about to reach adulthood, prepare it for evolution and guide it to undergo directional evolution to become a two-star mountain mantis.
If we switch to the Cyclone Mantis evolution route, the cost of cultivation will be high.
For the members of the beast-controlling family in the city, the cost of cultivation is acceptable, but for the villagers in the small mountain villages, it is beyond the acceptable range.
In the first week alone, you have to feed the mantis precious elixir, and consume specific materials every day to sharpen the mantis's knife and sharpen it.
It's okay to consume it once or twice, but if you do it every day, it will become a big expense over time.
It would be completely different if it were a mountain-opening mantis.
Normally, you only need to teach the mantis to eat one piece of meat and one leaf on a regular basis, and develop the habit of eating only this kind of food. Then it can be released to free range and slowly wait for it to grow meat.
These two elixirs are iron sandworm and red mud leaf respectively.
These are the most common spiritual insects and spiritual plants in the mountains. They are very bitter to eat and have no nutrition for humans. No one in the city wants them, and no one collects them at all.
I never expected that the mountain-opening mantis would feed on this.
During this period, Jiang Bo could slowly collect its evolutionary materials, and the economic pressure was greatly alleviated.
"But what if it eats something else when it's free-range?"
"That means your breeding methods are not up to par and habits have not been developed, so don't breed them freely.
"As soon as it comes out of the egg sheath, feed it a fixed food. If it wants to eat other foods, give it conditioned reflex punishment so that it knows that it cannot eat. After a long time, it will form a fixed habit."
Uncle Jiang felt a little dizzy, especially the term conditioned reflex, which made him confused.
But the more this happened, the more he felt that Lu Yuan was knowledgeable, not only had powerful pet beasts, but he also cultivated them.
This made him more and more in awe, fearing that he would say the wrong thing and arouse Lu Yuan's dislike.
"The egg sheaths of mantis beasts are easy to find. They are everywhere on the mountain. You can find them just by looking for them. If you want to raise them, you can prepare them when you go back today." When Lu Yuan said this, the subtext was that I can give you some guidance. .
Uncle Jiang was overjoyed and quickly thanked Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan waved his hand and didn't care.
These are just some very common cultivation knowledge, not worth mentioning.
But to Uncle Jiang, this was like a flood of wealth and wealth hitting his head. He was afraid it was just a dream, and he really wanted to fast forward to the afternoon.
"Speaking of which, the Cyclone Mantis is a popular pet beast in your local area. Please tell me in detail what methods you have."
Lu Yuan was more curious about ancient fashion trends. He had never heard of the name of Cyclone Mantis.
Just hearing the name, he could imagine the scene of a mantis beast transforming into a whirlwind and sweeping through it with violent attacks.
There are 128 evolutionary routes for mantises in modern times, with so many branches. He personally cannot remember them all, but he has roughly browsed them.
Even if you forget the name you have seen, you will definitely remember it when you hear the name again.
And his lack of reaction to the name of whirlwind shows that this is an evolutionary line inheritance that has not been passed down from ancient times.
Uncle Jiang didn't know what Lu Yuan meant. Although he was very knowledgeable, he asked about these trivial matters of local common sense. Could it be that he wanted to test him?
Thinking of this, Uncle Jiang tried his best to recall all the details of Whirlwind Mantis and said:
"Whirlwind Mantis is a three-star inheritance, which can reach up to three stars. Its two-star skill is the Wind Blade Knife, which can add wind damage to the two swords. If it cuts into the flesh, it can cause tetanus to the enemy and turn it into zombie flesh.
"In Qianshan City, there is a mantis martial arts gym. They will teach whirlwind mantis how to learn the double-sword fighting style. The fight is fast and fierce. It is almost invincible at the same level, unless it encounters a defensive beast with the earth element."
Speaking of this, Uncle Jiang glanced at Lu Yuan, only to see Lu Yuan nod, and Feng Qingyun calmly motioned for him to continue.
'Sure enough, it's testing me. '
Uncle Jiang knew that he had little knowledge and little money, and could not afford the tuition at Kaishan Mantis, so when faced with Lu Yuan's assessment, he said seriously:
"Its three-star skill is whirlwind. Its whole body rotates at high speed, like a flying whirlwind. It is extremely sharp and can cut iron like mud. Even the three-star iron bull beast can't guard against it, and it is cut open by force... "
Uncle Jiang talked about the characteristics of the Cyclone Mantis and its general evolution route, but he didn't know the detailed evolution formula. He only knew that materials were consumed to sharpen the knife at the one-star stage. He didn't know how to raise it at the two-star stage.
Even so, Lu Yuan felt like he had found a treasure.
If this is true, and a real mantis beast is cultivated according to this ancient method and evolves into a whirlwind mantis, then this is a new evolutionary route!
In that stagnant scientific research world, which is about to exhaust all evolutionary routes, this is a great discovery.
