High Above Chapter 775

   "Drugs?"

  Master Gravey's tone was confused: "You mean to rely on alchemy potions? But here is the sea, and the number of enemies is also thousands of sea beasts...Although not all of them are monsters, their swarm strength is still comparable to several fleets."

   "Rainstorms and sea waves will dilute your potions, and it will be difficult for poisons or lethal potions to work. Ian, this is very difficult."

   "You got my train of thought wrong."

  But Ian is extremely confident: "I don't intend to attack them with poison...I just want to give a little help to the perception system of those sea beasts."

   "Help them find their true desires."

Ian and Master Gravey left the room, and soon came straight to the deck of the Siren. Along the way, they saw many crew members and guard knights busy walking around. Most of them were in their combat positions, fighting against those who were approaching. sea ​​beast.

  It is raining heavily now, the sea and the sky are dark, and there are countless shadows lurking and wriggling under the tide.

Accompanied by violent fluctuations in the source quality, there are turbulent water jets and water blades approaching the Siren under the sea tide, and on the surface of the sea, there are also strong men in the ethnic group stirring up the wind and rain, condensing the endless seawater into ice cannonballs , thrown toward the Siren.

For this reason, shields in the shape of a hexagonal grid were erected around the Siren. This is the city protection shield usually used for city defense. The strategic alchemy furnace loaded on the Siren is enough to fully The city's protective shield can be activated for more than three hours without affecting the power, and three hours is enough to last until the fleets around the empire and Canaan Moor arrive.

  As long as Captain Elden can hold off the other three mind-light monsters, the Siren is enough to protect itself from the beast tide.

   In theory.

The ice cannonballs fell on the shield and turned into ice chips flying all over the sky, and the roaring artillery fire continued like thunder in a rainstorm. The dark and calm Eternal Silence Ocean turned into a battlefield, and was repeatedly man-made. Lightning lights up.

The two sides are still in balance at present, and the Warcraft clan will not be so stupid as to break into the Siren's firepower circle with the power of human depth charges and alchemy artillery, but the ocean is their home field. No. close.

Just now, a Warcraft-level iron-scaled sea snake forcibly broke through the line of defense, trying to hit the hull of the Siren. Although it was repelled by the ship's ascendant, it also caused the shock that had previously alarmed Ian and Master Gravey. That explosion.

  With the eyesight of a sublimator, with the light of the explosion, Ian can clearly see the true face of the monster hidden under the tide.

  The three groups of monsters that attacked the Siren were the 'Floating Wave Giant Conch', 'The Disastrous Starfish' and the 'Iron Scaled Sea Serpent'.

Floating sea snails are the raw materials of many water-attributed real shapes. Those who need to survive in the sea for a long time and keep swimming for a long time need the "permanent muscles of the floating sea snails". This kind of hydrophilic muscle can not only be like the heart muscle Long-term exercise, great endurance, and can also obtain energy from the surrounding tide fluctuations.

   It is precisely because of this that the floating conch is one of the main hunting monsters for sea hunters and adventurers. In order to retaliate, this group often attacks offshore caravans, and they are quite violent and irritable monsters.

The disaster-stricken starfish is a monster famous for its venom. Its venom is almost the same as that of the most poisonous beast on land, Hydra, but it does not have the incomparably erosive power and variability of Hydra venom, so it has antidote. Also because of its stability, its toxin is the raw material of many source plasmic poisons. Of course it also has a grudge against humans.

As for the Iron Scaled Sea Snake... It is a very common group of monsters, capable of giving birth, easy to raise, easy to advance, with a large number, and the upper limit is not low, so there are many powerful individuals in the group. The one that Ian saw in Harrison Port back then The sea snake is a branch of the iron scale sea snake.

   These three monsters are obviously not very afraid of poison.

  The conch family uses poison a lot. If a starfish is hit by a disaster, you don't know who poisoned whom. As a metal-based life, the iron-scale sea snake is more resistant to poison than ordinary carbon-based life.

  That's why Master Gravey doesn't quite agree with Ian's idea of ​​drugging.

   But he didn't know that Ian never poisoned directly.

Using poisons in a natural environment, even the most poisonous ones, is probably useless—don't underestimate Terra's sea, just like there is a group of forest spirits in the forests of Nanling, Ian is not too sure about the sea. There is no 'large group of seas' where countless marine plankton gather.

   He will only do one favor to the creature's desires.

   "Yes, they are all suitable targets."

  Ian stood on the deck with Master Gravey. He nodded slightly after confirming the enemy's monster type: "They are all gregarious monsters, and they are quite sensitive to pheromones."

  At this moment, some crew members have already discovered the two passengers who did not seek refuge.

  But when the crew approached, Ian ordered without hesitation: "Capture one of each of these three monsters. Master Gravey and I have a way to deal with them."

   "Sir, your request..."

   Seeing Ian's too young appearance, the elf crew couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. They looked at Master Gravey, and the old elf glared at him: "Didn't you hear me? Do what he said, and I mean it too!"

   "Got it, sir!"

  The crew saluted without hesitation, and then went to execute the military order—Master Gravey's status was embarrassing, but that was only for the high-level members of the parliament. For these little people, a master alchemist who was welcomed back by the glory of the entire Federation was undoubtedly the highest officer.

   What's more, Master Gravey can still harm them?

   It is not difficult to capture these monsters. In fact, at the beginning of the surprise attack, some monsters climbed onto the Siren. Most of them were repelled by the crew, but some were captured and analyzed.

   Soon, under the respectful guidance of the crew, Ian and Master Gravey came to the storage room on the second floor, where there were three quite intact and somewhat active corpses of monsters.

   "...Pheromone...Are you planning to artificially synthesize pheromone to disrupt the cognition of these monsters?"

  Master Grave watched as Ian skillfully took out various tools, and began to disassemble the monsters, taking out various glands hidden in their flesh and blood internal organs.

Terra World of Warcraft does not rely solely on biomass pheromones to communicate, and source matter is also a means of carrying information, but this instead gives alchemists an opportunity—all kinds of confusion potions and aphrodisiac potions are potions that use pheromones to disrupt the perception system of monsters. Professional alchemists are absolutely proficient in this.

He already understood Ian's thinking, but still frowned: "But that's only for wild beasts and monsters of the first energy level... The second energy level already has a soul, which can resist the instinctive impulse, while the third energy level has a soul." In the case of a super beast king, as long as there is a spiritual order from the beast master, the monsters in their group will go out to fight even during the mating period, and they will retreat immediately if they are jealous."

   "Don't worry."

  The knife in Ian's hand fluttered, and he took out a fist-sized gland from the scales, bones and flesh with ease: "They won't have orders."

  The silver-blue light in the boy's eyes flickered, scanning the inside and outside of the gland, he turned his back to the master, and said in a confident tone: "Even if there are orders, they will definitely not be able to convey them."

   "As long as it is spiritual power, it is impossible."

   “…is this imperial alchemist trustworthy?”

  In the storage room, not only Ian and the master were the only ones, but the first mate of the Siren and several other alchemists were also watching here.

   Calling the corpse of a monster is not a big deal, but Master Gravey is the target that the captain told him to take care of.

  The first mate of the sea race had doubts in his eyes, and he whispered to the alchemist on the side of the ship: "I heard from you, this young man seems to be quite famous, but he is so young...why didn't Master Gravey himself take action?"

   It can't be blamed for him to doubt that the current situation of the Siren is actually not as good as it seems on the surface.

  During the first wave of sea beast raids, three of the Siren's five propellers were destroyed. Later inspection revealed that someone had placed bait there to lure the sea beast to attack.

   In other words, today's Siren has lost most of its power, and can only stay in place and passively respond to enemy attacks.

  Although there is still a spare power, and the inscription craftsmen are working overtime to repair it, but if Captain Elden does not come back, they will not be able to get rid of the pursuit of the sea beast.

  But Captain Elden wants to block the three-headed beast king, let alone whether he can block it. Even if he can, it means that the Siren will completely lose its last artificial power source at this critical juncture.

  This news cannot be spread. If there is panic in the ship, the defense line will collapse. At that time, the Siren, which was still capable of fighting, will be easily captured by the sea beast.

   "Ian Yinfeng is the inventor of various new war plating agents in the empire, and he is also a hot new star in the alchemy circle!"

The alchemist accompanying the team looked excited, and even looked at Ian almost adoringly: "Mate, you are not an alchemist, so you don't know, the young man you mentioned has already appeared on the "Truth" this year. The annual list of alchemists—not a list of newcomers, but an annual list that competes with all veteran alchemists!"

   "Master Gravey must also believe in the strength of Mr. Ian. He is not energetic enough when he is old, so he will let him take action!"

  Master Gravey didn't say much. He stood aside and looked at Ian quietly.

He watched as Ian took out all the glands of the three kinds of monsters, and immediately used the simple alchemy facility he carried to extract the key pheromone samples, and then took local materials, using the flesh of these monsters as raw materials, and started mass production. The pheromones of the three commands of predation''mating' and'rage'.

At the very beginning, the master still had a doubt in his heart... Even if the beast masters did not convey instructions, it would take quite a long time to refine and refine the Warcraft pheromones and create targeted fanaticism and aphrodisiac potions. Just to identify which pheromones are targeted at Which command is difficult enough, let alone determine the effect of the experiment.

   But when he saw Ian directly started alchemy in the storage room, Master Gravey was shocked.

too fast!

   How should Ian's alchemy speed be described? Art? concise? Or pure?

There is not a single unnecessary move, all the steps are the most correct and the fastest choice. Also as an alchemist, Master Gravey knows that this requires not only superb skills and profound knowledge, but more importantly, self-discipline. Absolute 'confidence'!

   Only those who know all the steps and processes, but firmly believe that they will never make mistakes, can use this speed to carry out alchemy!

  Why? How could Ian believe that the pheromone he chose was the effect he wanted? Even a master alchemist like him would need at least one or two hours of careful screening to be sure!

  Master Gravey quickly thought of a possibility, and he couldn't help asking: "You, your power of observation, does it have the effect of 'true seeing'?!"

   "You can think so."

  Ian was noncommittal. In fact, as Master Gravey thought, it is impossible for even the best bioalchemist to directly understand the pheromone coordination effect of an unfamiliar creature. This difficulty is equivalent to deciphering an unfamiliar language at a glance .

   But for him with the silver chip, it's no surprise.

   Sit down, general operation.jpg

   Not just Master Graves.

  Even the first officer and the ship's alchemist were amazed by Ian's technology, and it can even be said that they were petrified!

   "This, so fast?!"

   A layman watches the fun, and an insider watches the doorway, but even a layman, the first mate knows very well that Ian's alchemy speed is a little too fast.

  If there is a progress bar, other people's progress bars jump every few seconds and every one hundredth, but Ian's jumps several times a second, every time is one bar!

   And the expert is even more stupid in place, not daring to close his eyes.

   Separate! extraction! Purify!

   Matrixization! Copy refining! Synthesis of the same example!

   How many seconds? Before he saw it clearly, Ian directly completed six steps and finished refining a bottle of 'aphrodisiac pheromone'... Is this a human? !

The alchemist on the Siren is no longer willing to breathe. As a professional, he also knows the steps and basic skills that Ian did. Whether it is quickly distinguishing materials, using all the materials at hand to extract elements, these skills he I understand. However, people have limits, and most people's limit thresholds are there.

Even a master, compared with an elite alchemist, is nothing more than 20 to 30% faster, unless they have unique skills, otherwise at best, the real value of a master lies in their groundbreaking thinking and invention and creativity, but even so , Their superb skills can also make everyone admire.

   But what about Ian? Ian didn't use any unique skills, but just used solid basic skills to complete the refining at a speed twice that of others-this is no longer a record-breaking thing, and it has already widened the huge gap between different species!

   "Unbelievable..." He held back for a long time and said: "This makes it impossible for me to succeed by imitating it!"

  In less than an hour, Ian completed all the processes from analysis to successful refining. The whole process was done by hand, and no one did it for him.

   Both Master Gravey and the first mate have gone from unbelievable to numb at the back.

  They also finally understood how big the gap between real geniuses and ordinary practitioners is in certain things.

   "Load these pheromones into the diffusion bomb and launch it towards the sea beast cluster."

Handing the three 'boxes' of information bottles on the side to the first mate who has been very respectful and used honorifics throughout the whole process, Ian smiled and said: "Floating sea snails will feed on disaster-stricken starfish, so use the orange 'prey' information The element is launched to these two areas where there are more monsters."

   "It's early summer recently, and the temperature is rising but not too high. It's the mating period of the iron-scaled sea snake, so the crimson 'mating' pheromone is used."

   "In areas where there are three kinds of monsters, use this crimson 'rage' pheromone—they will definitely fight, greatly reducing the pressure on the Siren."

   "Please rest assured, we will absolutely follow all your instructions perfectly!"

  At this moment, the first officer was in awe of Ian.

  But also because of this, he believed that these pheromones were the key to breaking the deadlock for the Siren, so he smiled excitedly.

  He immediately left with these pheromone bottles.

  Master Gravey let out a breath, and he took a deep look at Ian, who was watching the crew leave with a smile: "You are already at the level of a master."

"Although you only used the simplest basic skills to process the potion, I can tell that your understanding and conversion of physical properties between substances has reached perfection, and your source quality manipulation techniques are also incredibly refined. "

   "The most important thing is that your method of extracting pheromones is something I have never seen before."

   "Even in the Institute of Intellectual Intelligence, your level is enough to be the director of a department and preside over several large-scale projects!"

   "Thanks for the compliment."

  Ian admitted generously. Already in the imperial capital, his level was already close to that of a master, but in Xiahuiling, he learned from each other with Yadebert, and after a long period of refining and summarizing, he must have made great progress to meet the standards of a master.

  Even if there is no silver chip and foreseeing horizon, at best, his refining speed is a little slower, and whether it is a technique or a formula, it is something that needs to be summed up by wisdom.

  "Seventeen-year-old alchemist, seventeen-year-old third energy level."

At this moment, Master Gravey closed his eyes and sighed long: "My God, how efficient is your study? Just learning these things and cultivating is not something that can be accomplished in seventeen years...but this is a good thing .”

  Opening his eyes, the old elf's eyes were bright: "Maybe, before I die, our research will be able to produce results!"

  He had already started talking about 'our research', a detail that made Ian chuckle.

  Master Gravey's complex emotions towards Canaan Moor and his deep love for the race of elves cannot be deceived or ignored. Of course he could see the embarrassing situation and determination of the old man, so he didn't kill him after consideration, or just sat and watched him be killed, and instead invited the other party to join hands.

Of course, Ian will not let Master Gravey die, please go back to Xiahui to lead... Let alone the Siren hanging alone in the sea, it is very difficult to do this, even if it is really done, it can't be done in essence. Improve the research and development strength of Xiahuiling.

   After all, there are two most powerful geniuses in the new generation, Ian and Yadbert. Even if Master Gravey has profound skills, he can't bring about qualitative changes.

However, if Master Gravey lives in Canaan Moore in peace and stability... Even if he is isolated from the academic circle of Canaan Moore due to the struggle of the academics and the rejection of the camp, it is impossible for the council to not give any resources, at least it will give Grave The highest authority for Master Wei related projects.

   This is a real qualitative change for Ian and Adalbert, who lack all kinds of 'confidential' information in the true sense, such as information similar to 'outer **** research'!

   "If you want to prostitute for free, you must prostitute yourself for free. How can Master Gravey alone be enough? You must prostitute the entire Canaan Moore Federation Information Base for free!"

  Up to now, Ian has made up his mind to protect Master Gravey in Canaan Moore. Respecting the old and loving the young is not very important, the most important thing is to use the identity of the other party as a straw to absorb Canaan Moore's heritage!

  Boom boom boom—

  A series of muffled cannon shots sounded.

  Ian and the master walked out of the storage room, and the two saw special shells loaded with pheromones fired, drawing arcs in the darkness, and falling towards the convergence points of different monster clusters.

  With Ian's eyesight, it is enough to see what is happening in the distance.

  With the falling of different pheromones, it is like splashing cold water into hot oil, and the entire sea area is thrown into a fryer, completely turbulent.

  The amount of pheromone secreted by the organism itself is small, the purity is not high, and the irritation is not great, just like the fragrance of bananas. Although there is, it is not strong.

  The pheromone extracted by Keyan is like a banana flavoring agent, just a little bit can make people smell the strong fragrance clearly!

  The sea tide and wind and waves happened to help these overly rich pheromones to diffuse and dilute to a level acceptable to the monster swarm.

The three major groups of monsters that were originally peaceful because of the king's order began to visibly turmoil with the naked eye. According to Ian's instructions, the various pheromone shells fired separately accurately stirred up the contradictions between different monsters—the beast tide. It is very difficult at first. The creatures are food for each other, and even one is the natural enemy of the other. If they really converge into a tide, how can there be no contradiction at all?

With the constraints of the king, even if there is some friction, they can live in peace. After all, monsters will not have obvious intelligence until the second level has a soul. Both the first level and non-warcraft individuals rely more on instinct and obey the king's orders. .

  But if the king's order is blocked by Longwei...

  Things will be as they are now.

  哗啦啦—Among the sea tide, a large number of conical-shaped giant floating snails suddenly went berserk. They sprayed water, like torpedoes, rushing straight at the disaster-stricken starfish floating around the sea surface.

The ability of the floating giant snail body is actually to control the water flow and powerful movement ability. They can drive through the hull of the iron-clad ship with pure physical force, and part of the toxin of the giant snail is precisely because they rely on their strong physical ability to prey on various creatures in the sea. Poisons are adapted from a collection.

The disaster-stricken starfish is just one of their recipes, but the priority is not high enough, but now, under the unknown strong appetite and clear predation orders, a large number of floating giant snails that were making ice bombs to attack the Siren are still He turned his head and hit the disaster-stricken starfish that was gathering water.

The extremely sharp 'tooth' protrudes from the front of their body. This special organ can directly pierce the shells of most soft-bodied organisms and the carapace of reptiles. Pierce easily, and then be gutted by them!

In this regard, the disaster-stricken starfish will naturally not be willing to be their animal food, and they will fight back-the outer edges of the tentacles of these starfish are extremely sharp blade spines, once they are shot down, even a layer of reinforced concrete will be directly scraped to pieces , The floating wave giant snail is not famous for its defensive power, it is easy to be opened by them and attack the fragile body inside the shell!

   Click! Pooh!

  The battle between the two kinds of monsters was extremely tragic. Either the starfish was pierced by the giant snail and its internal organs were sucked out, or the giant snail was crushed by the starfish and digested on the spot by the opponent's stomach pouch!

  The battle between the giant snails on the floating waves and the disaster-stricken starfish was in full swing, and the blood was churning.

  But on the other side, the Ironscale Sea Serpent... the atmosphere is more pink.

  A large number of sea snakes began to mix and entangle together regardless of time and place, and even formed a dark jungle under the sea area. The seaweeds intertwined, overlapped, and penetrated into each other...

  Accompanied by the hissing of steel friction, the battlefield became a mating paradise in an instant...

  Unsightly. It's simply unsightly!
