Chapter 134: Chapter 133: The Five-Meter Long Whip

Chapter 134 -133: The Five-Meter Long Whip

The Sword Butterfly Mark circled around the M-shaped mark, while the Thorns Mark grew upon the M-shaped mark; the wonder of the Amber Worm lay in its ability to synchronise with the Great Dragon.

Gazing at the ever-flickering Thorns Mark, Russell beamed with joy.

He then collected his thoughts and began to explore the magic of the Thorn Amber Bug along this Thorns Mark.

“Previously, whether it was Spirit Insects, Mushroom Bugs, or Sword Butterfly Amber Bugs, they all mimicked the shape of animals. It’s unexpected that this Thorn Amber Bug still maintains a plant form, and its life state and energy field both resemble that of a plant.”

The Sword Butterfly possessed an active mind; it was truly a magical butterfly.

Mushroom Bugs, Spirit Insects, and the like also resembled insects each with their own unique personalities and thought processes.

Yet, the Thorn Amber Bug has no active mind, just a set of simple, repetitive thoughts.

“Grow grow,” “sunlight sunlight,” “comfy comfy”… All Russell had to do was to casually tune into the Thorns Mark to sense these thoughts devoid of subjective consciousness.

At the same time,

among these thoughts, feedback would also enhance Russell’s analysis, thereby understanding the magical uses of the Thorn Amber Bug.

“A thorn… whip?”

The information that came back took Russell by surprise.

He had assumed that Amber Worms were akin to the Sword Butterfly, having insights into Battle Qi and swordsmanship. But this Thorn Amber Bug could spontaneously grow a thorny vine, and like a tentacle, it was flexible.

This left him somewhat disappointed, “A thorn whip, what’s the use of that?”

Disappointment aside, he needed to continue exploring, so he immediately connected mentally with the Thorn Amber Bug that liked to chatter.

Then, he spread his palm out, aiming at the nearby bushes.

Whoosh!

A red and green vine shot out from the center of his palm at an astonishing speed, piercing the bush like an arrow.

It had struck nearly five meters away.

“Hiss!” Russell inhaled sharply, “That was impressive, this speed is faster than an arrow. Without any preparations, even a Knight would likely meet their end upon impact! Moreover, I can control it, waving it around at will!”

Russell waved his hand, and the five-meter-long Thorn Whip moved through the bushes, leveling a large swath of grass in an instant.

“Squeak squeak!” The Red-eyed Rat King, which was amusing itself with foxtail grass, was startled.

But the more Russell played with it, the more he enjoyed it. Different from a real whip, swinging the thorny whip was a lot of fun; it felt instinctive, like moving one’s limbs with ease, hitting whatever he aimed at without much effort at all.

What was most crucial was its durability.

The thin green stem, only as thick as a finger, was covered with tiny, slightly reddish spikes. It swept through the grass, leaving a trail of destroyed weeds in its wake.

And it wasn’t just good for slashing through weeds, Russell picked up a nearby rock to test it; he whipped it casually, and the stone shattered under the fierce impact, yet the Thorn Whip didn’t break, or rather, any damages it sustained rapidly healed.

With a thought,

the five-meter-long Thorn Whip shrunk to an ordinary size of about one and a half meters, and it remained as thick as a finger.

He gestured to the Red-eyed Rat King, “Come here, Red-eyed, try and see if you can bite through it.”

The Red-eyed Rat King was a bit puzzled.

Russell chuckled, “I’m testing how sharp your teeth are.”

“Squeak squeak!” The Red-eyed Rat King instantly became offended; it would not allow anyone to question the sharpness of its teeth.

So, it immediately bit down hard on the Thorn Whip.

Crack crack…

Even its teeth, which could easily crush stone, failed to sever the Thorn Whip immediately, instead only leaving a few millimeters deep tooth marks on the stem.

The Red-eyed Rat King immediately became frantic, its vital energy whirling within as it viciously snapped down with its shovel-like incisors, biting through the thorny vine with enough force on this attempt.

Then, it revealed a smile of victory and squeaked triumphantly at Russell.

“Not bad at all,” Russell said with a smile, encouragingly, gaining a preliminary assessment of the toughness of the Thorn Whip.

Even a Fantasy Beast had to muster all its strength to bite through it, which made it stronger than the average metal weapon.

What was more interesting was that Russell, with a casual flick of his hand, made the broken Thorn Whip along with the piece still in his palm disappear into thin air, as if it had never existed.

Only the Thorn Mark on the M-shaped mark in his palm fluttered in the wind.

“This is a Thorn Whip formed by fueling it with my own Battle Qi. As long as my Battle Qi is uninterrupted, the Thorn Whip can regenerate endlessly… Cool, isn’t it, Red-eyed?” With another wave of his hand, Russell launched another Thorn Whip.

The Red-eyed became furious once again and rushed to bite the Thorn Whip.

Russell quickly stopped it, “Stop fussing. You’re not biting the Thorn Whip, but my Battle Qi!”

…

The benefits Russell gained from the Sword Butterfly Amber Bug were not as great as he had imagined.

It seemed like he gained a five-meter-long, metal-strong, and extremely flexible Thorn Whip, but it was far less effective compared to his mastery of swordsmanship.

Swordsmanship would be of lifelong use to Russell.

But the Thorn Whip…

“Against ordinary people, hunting common Snow Ghosts, it should still do the trick, but against Great Knights, Great Snow Ghosts, it probably won’t be enough. As for Phantom Beast Knights, the Thorn Whip is just a child’s toy,” Russell pondered.

However, he quickly cheered up, “Getting a Sword Butterfly Amber Bug for free, with such a useful ability, is already pretty good.”

And he believed that the Sword Butterfly could grow by absorbing energy from swordsmanship battles.

The Sword Butterfly Amber Bug must have a way to grow as well, and once it does, the Thorn Whip’s power would be far beyond what it is now.

“If it could turn into countless Thorn tentacles, I might even be able to tie up a Bipedal Flying Dragon and tame it on the spot!”

Of course.

These were just hopeful fantasies for the future. What truly satisfied Russell was that with the Sword Butterfly Amber Bug, his Gloomy Dreamland clone would have even broader capabilities.

“The Sword Butterfly can illuminate a two-meter radius around it. I’m not asking much of the Thorn, just an extra meter of light. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“It’s a pity.”

“I wonder if Ice Cream has finished digesting and can come out tonight so I can experiment with the Thorn’s luminescence.”

The Little Dream Dragon had been digesting since eating two Ice Soul Pearls, unable to appear for several consecutive days.

“It’s strange, though. Ice Cream is so repelled by the power of the Snow Demon represented by the half-Ghost Beast, then why is it so fond of Ice Pellet Pearls and Ice Soul Pearls? Ice Pellet Pearls are fine, being transformed from Magic Power, but Ice Soul Pearls are the genuine power of the Snow Demon.”

The Ice Pellet Pearls were the power of the Snow Ghosts in life, infected by the power of the Snow Demon, thus transforming into a new force. Their essence is still a form of Magic Power.

But the power of the Snow Demon comes from another world, entirely different from the Magic Power nourished by the earth.

You could even say they are diametrically opposed.

The ecological balance of ice and fire in the Dragon Sleep Continent is formed by the struggle between the earth’s power and the Snow Demon’s power. As an essence of the earth’s power, a Great Dragon should despise the Ice Soul Pearls condensed from the Snow Demon’s power.

But the fact is, the Little Dream Dragon loves both Ice Pellet Pearls and Ice Soul Pearls.

It just hates the Snow Demon’s power on the half-Ghost Beast.

“What exactly is the difference between the Snow Demon’s power and the Ice Soul Pearls?” Russell had also asked the Little Dream Dragon, but the Little Dream Dragon had no idea what he was talking about. Being a Young Dragon, it wasn’t very smart, acting entirely on instinct.

Unable to figure it out.

Russell then put away his wandering thoughts and left the hillock with the contracted Sword Butterfly Amber Bug.
