Master of Ten Thousand Foxes
Chapter 422 - 241: Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal, Vessel Shattered! (Part 2)
Beside him, the King of Darkness had a peculiar expression.
What do you mean by "a mere Sequence Four woman"?
"Master, is Sequence Four... very low?"
Round Stone Ancient Immortal chuckled.
"For us old guys who have lived for over ten thousand years, the most worthless ones are those Sequence Four folks."
...
In the dream world, Molten Rock Cave.
Ancient Bee Immortal stared intently at the image in the mirror, ears perked up, excitement all over his old face.
"Hehe, hehe hehe, hehe hehe hehe!
"This is delightful, Black Sparrow did a brilliant job, truly a genius in immortal techniques!"
Beside him, the little fatty Wang Yuanbao didn’t quite understand what had happened.
His face was full of confusion but the expression of his master seemed a bit eerie.
He paused for a moment.
"Master... is this... is this our Alchemy Path’s immortal technique?"
Ancient Bee Immortal smacked his lips.
"Not really... but perhaps there is a way to adapt it. Different paths leading to the same goal!"
...
In the cave, Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal looked excitedly at her knowledge container.
The vat formed from "nervous system" knowledge was faintly radiating a cyan-green glow.
The cracks on the surface of the vat were subtly narrowing, with signs of healing.
On one hand, her brand-new immortal technique was confirmed.
On the other hand, she had already started to steal "computational power" from the brains of several experts!
She raised the champagne her apprentice brought and took a swig directly from the bottle, finding the taste both sour and bitter.
"Damn, this poor apprentice, what cheap stuff did he bring me?
"Bought from the bargain site?
"Fake wine, huh?"
But she was still very pleased and took another bold sip!
...
Swish... In the meeting room, a group of experts were beaming with joy, passing bottles and pouring wine.
Although they were quite old and the meeting table was not suitable for drinking, they couldn’t help but want a sip!
"Happy today, let’s celebrate."
"This wine was brewed by Professor Gan’s wife’s winery, hahaha, very nice."
Unbeknownst to them, their brains had already begun secretly working for others, covertly deducing other people’s knowledge.
Professor Zhang also smiled, took out his phone, about to send a message to Chairman Chen Shu with good news, when suddenly he noticed his phone seemed infected, the touch screen out of control!
"Hmm?"
This familiar feeling, this déjà vu scene...
Indeed, his phone interface jumped on its own, jumping to a chat window with himself, the typing keyboard wildly bouncing, starting to input a document!
The typing speed was unbelievably fast, the phone already hovering on the brink of freezing... but the word count was increasing, thousands of words, one segment after another, being entered into his phone, sent to the chat window.
Through his view, he glanced at Qing Lu Ancient Immortal in the real world, equally intrigued, eyes wide open.
The professors noticed, casting curious glances at Professor Zhang staring at his phone in a daze.
Bai Mo also mimicked, craning his neck over.
Star Tail even stood up from his master’s arms, stretching his furry head over.
Professor Zhang furrowed his brow, momentarily puzzled.
"This is... a document on immortal grass cultivation?
"What does this mean?
"That secret boss wants us to help cultivate immortal grass?
"Uh... he helped us a lot, it’s only right we reciprocate and help him cultivate immortal grass once."
...
On Fox Mountain, at the Ice Ball Workshop.
Black Ring pulled a fox-head-sized ice ball out of the medicinal soup.
"Squeak squeak squeak?"
... Can this work? Does it meet master’s requirements?
"Howl howl howl?"
White Ring also didn’t know.
Just then, they saw white mist rising in front of them, and heard their master’s voice.
"Put the ice ball into the white mist."
The two foxes obediently placed the ice ball inside.
...
Squeak... the office door opened.
Zhang Shan pushed a stainless steel dining cart, bringing in a large basin of ice cubes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the ice is here!"
The professors reflexively looked over.
"Huh?
"Why is there an ice ball with filling?
"I’ve never seen this before?"
Ah?
Zhang Shan looked down at a basin of ice and indeed saw a perfectly round ice ball in the center. Inside, there was a medicinal soup, with densely packed emerald green particles suspended in it.
"What is this thing?"
Zhang Shan reached out to grab the ice ball, but the moment his fingertips touched it, he heard a crisp "bang" as the ice ball shattered!
A thick smoke erupted instantly, sweeping in all directions and filling the entire conference room!
It rushed out from the door, quickly spreading along the corridor, to the adjacent operating room, to other rooms, and to the floors above and below!
It even seeped into the central air conditioning ducts, dispersing through them to every corner of the building!
The brain-eating vine seeds in the smoke burrowed into the professors’ nostrils, quickly taking root and sprouting, with soft vine stems drilling their way inside, passing through the brain bridge, affixing to the brain, and crawling up like snakes along the cerebral cortex!
As they spread and grew, these snake-like slender vine silks incessantly sniffed and tasted the brain’s flavor, but ordinary cells did not interest them!
Until they found the cells influenced by the Immortal Technique... those cells were just as tender as ordinary ones, but in reality, they had been transformed into parasitic controllers, into unique blood scabs!
And it was precisely this distinct taste that drew the snake-like brain-eating vine to climb on!
...
In the conference room, the thick fog dissipated.
More than a dozen old experts covered their noses, coughing one after another.
"Cough, cough!"
"Cough, cough!"
"Cough, cough!"
Professor Zhang was already standing behind Professor Qin, holding his head with both hands, outputting divine sense with all his might to save the old man’s life.
At this moment, he could see what was happening inside the old man’s cranial cavity, feeling his hair stand on end, cold sweat streaming down.
He opened his eyes again and saw the old man sneeze...
"Achoo!"
The old man’s palm caught a splatter of filth expelled from his nostril, mixed with mucus, blood clots, and a strand of bloody vine grass.
It was the brain-eating vine that had just probed into the old man’s cranial cavity, fed and satisfied!
The other dozen or so professors also sneezed, each expelling filth, feeling dizzy and in shock.
"What’s going on?"
"Have we been attacked?"
"Is there an Immortal Technique Master? Or an Ancient Immortal?"
Professor Zhang looked again at the document on his phone, then at the vine grass expelled by the old man, his face turning pale with lingering fear.
"Indeed... we’ve been attacked.
"But we were also saved."
...
In the Dream Immortal Realm, inside the Molten Rock Cave.
The Ancient Bee Immortal and his apprentice Wang Yuanbao were dumbfounded, pulling at the corners of their mouths.
"Damn it, is this it?
"It’s over before it even started?
"This shitty Immortal Technique, just a joke?"
...
In the Dream Immortal Realm, by the riverbank.
Through Zhang Shan’s eyes, the Round Stone Ancient Immortal and the King of Darkness watched the scene.
The King of Darkness didn’t quite understand the context, but his intuition told him that the Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal’s Immortal Technique seemed to have failed?
"Master, this..."
The Round Stone Ancient Immortal cursed.
"Damn it, Sequence Four rubbish; it’s just unreliable!"
...
In the Dream Immortal Realm, before the bonfire.
Qing Lu Ancient Immortal was stunned for a long time, recalling the brain-eating vine recipe he had seen.
"Black Sparrow...did pretty well.
"But that guy is even more sinister than Black Sparrow!"
...
In the Dream Immortal Realm, inside a cave.
The Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal held a bottle of fake wine, viewing through her apprentice’s vision, seeing her apprentice sneeze and expel blood-stained vine grass, severing her mind-borrowing Immortal Technique.
She sensed that all her controlled apprentices had their mind-borrowing Immortal Techniques cut off!
She sensed that her knowledge container’s repairs stopped at that moment!
"This... how is this possible...
"The brain-eating vine can break the mind-borrowing Immortal Technique?"
The Immortal Dynasty has long had the mind-borrowing Immortal Technique, but she had never heard that Sequence Nine’s brain-eating vine could break it!
She couldn’t accept it!
She didn’t understand it!
At this moment, an anger and depression suddenly rose in her heart, suddenly doubting what she had learned...
The faint green light emanating from the knowledge container faded away.
Even...
Bam!
Her knowledge container exploded violently, shattering halfway!
Fragments flew into the water, emitting black smoke of words, splashing up the water!
She wiped away her tears...
The knowledge container... was ruined!
The newly researched mind-borrowing Immortal Technique had just been tried, and before it could be expanded on a large scale in the real world, it was declared... useless!
