If Ma Jian was here, he would definitely feel a sense of déjà vu.
That boiling hot pot, and the ingredients piled up on the table like side dishes …
Water nourishes wood, so water nourishes wood. Most of the ingredients on the table were wood elemental materials, with some water elemental materials mixed in. The Devil Mantis's elemental attribute was wood.
He picked up a material that looked like a fish bubble. It was the size of a fist and completely transparent. There was some greyish white liquid in the bubble.
He took out a silver needle and carefully poked a small hole in the bubble. The liquid flowed out, and finally, a nut slid out of the hole.
This was a fish bubble, a material that grew on trees. It was extremely tough, and could withstand high temperatures and was waterproof.
He chopped the other ingredients into powder, mixed them together, and put them into the fish bubble. He gently flipped it around, and it was like a bag holding all the ingredients. He then stretched the hole and tied a knot, and the chopped ingredients were stored in the fish bubble.
He repeated this process for ten times, and threw all of them into the boiling pot.
These steps were really complicated. He needed to cook the ingredients in boiling water, and he could not let them be contaminated by water vapor, which would destroy the wood elemental materials' medicinal properties.
Ten minutes later, he scooped up all the fish bubbles and placed them on a wooden board. Because metal restrained wood, the ingredients could not come into direct contact with the metal board, or else they would be contaminated.
He used a glass knife to gently cut open the fish bubbles, and the cooked ingredients stuck together. He gently kneaded them into a ball and fed it to the Devil Mantis.
After the Devil Mantis ate it, its body trembled, and it suddenly lay on the ground, its wings trembling slightly.
The first step was completed, and there were two more steps. Gao Peng continued to mix the ingredients without stopping.
At night, the laboratory was brightly lit.
He was the only one in the laboratory, and all the steps were completed by him alone. All the ingredients were measured using a high-precision electronic scale, and each ingredient was accurate to 0.01 grams.
The experiment continued until dawn, and the ten Devil Mantises in the laboratory were all asleep.
Gao Peng packed up the extra ingredients and threw them into the concentrated sulfuric acid, and took off his mask and gloves.
He pushed open the laboratory door. Liu Senlin, who had been waiting for him all night, was awakened by the sound of the door opening. He stood up from his chair and hurried forward. "Mr. Gao, the results of the experiment …"
"It should be successful. They should wake up by noon." Gao Peng was also a little tired. He had stayed up all night, and now he just wanted to rest.
"That's great. Thank you, Mr. Gao." Liu Senlin nodded repeatedly. "The company has already arranged a room for you. If Mr. Gao needs it, you can check in and rest now. If Mr. Gao wants to go home and rest, we also have a car to pick you up."
Gao Peng muttered, "Then send me directly to the studio. Sorry for the trouble."
After entering the studio, Gao Peng moved the chair back and adjusted his sleeping position comfortably. Since there were few customers, he could sleep peacefully.
He slept until he woke up naturally in the afternoon. As expected, there were no customers in the morning.
When he woke up, he saw Liu Senlin's message of gratitude. It said that some of the Devil Mantises had begun to evolve. Gao Peng was not surprised, because the Devil Mantises that he had chosen were the most suitable ones. Every one of them was Level 20. As long as their quality was increased, they would meet the requirements for evolution. It would be strange if they did not evolve.
On the other side, Liu Senlin was overwhelmed with emotions. In front of him, a Devil Mantis had begun its evolution. Its body was growing in size, and the wings on its back were raised high. Its skin made a tearing sound, and a pair of even stronger wings emerged from under its skin.
Hu — —
With a gentle shake, the sticky liquid on its wings was blown away.
With a gentle flap of its wings, the dust on the ground was blown up, and his hair was messed up.
Its body was half bent, and its blade-like arms were inserted into the cement floor.
Balls of hazy light in the air rushed madly into the Devil Mantis' body, and its body was growing rapidly.
The evolution lasted for the time it took to drink a cup of tea before it finally stopped.
The Devil Mantis in front of him had changed greatly. Its height was half of its original height, and its body had increased to three times its original size.
The wings on its back had also become two pairs. Its slender emerald green blade-like arms were inserted into the cement floor as easily as cutting tofu.
Its color had also turned emerald green, as if it was a finely carved piece of high-quality jade.
When the surrounding Devil Mantises saw it, they all cautiously took two steps back. Mantises were not social animals, so when faced with a stronger species, they would not choose to submit. Instead, they would choose to hide and escape.
"Commander Tier Four-Winged Emerald Devil Mantis …" Liu Senlin adjusted his glasses, as if he was looking at a masterpiece of art.
Before this Devil Mantis evolved, his entire company only had a total of four Commander-tier Devil Mantises. With this one, it would be the fifth Commander-tier Devil Mantis. This evolution also meant that this Devil Mantis had successfully evolved to Perfect grade.
In the past, he had looked for other intermediate Monster Breeders, but the Devil Mantis was a relatively rare Familiar, and it was very difficult for it to evolve. Unless he went to the Southern Sky Group's Experimental Department, where he had bought the Devil Mantis, it was because these Devil Mantises came from the Experimental Department. In the past, he had paid a huge price to successfully evolve the Devil Mantis.
Gao Peng was really his lucky star.
When he thought of Gao Peng, Liu Senlin's heart burned. This was definitely the wisest decision he had ever made.
If he had chosen to sign the contract with Gao Peng because of his uncle's request, now he truly admired this young man, who was younger than him by a generation.
He did not know Gao Peng's specific identity, but his uncle had specifically told him not to slack off or offend him.
Excluding his unknown identity, his ability alone was worthy of his attention.
…
Three days later, outside the Dark Ember Forest, a large number of troops had already sealed off the area. The surrounding trees were all cut down, and a large open space was cleared.
Behind them, camouflage artillery vehicles were ready to fire, like cold steel beasts. In front of the forest, traces of artillery fire could be seen vaguely.
"I'm glad you could come." The military representative scanned the crowd in front of him.
In front of him stood several groups of people, clearly separated into several teams.
And in this group, the people from the Blue Shield Protection Company were the most conspicuous.
In the team, there were eight Giant Emerald Mantises that were a size larger than the other Devil Mantises. They were very eye-catching.
A normal Devil Mantis was at least two meters tall, but these eight Four-Winged Emerald Devil Mantises were close to three meters tall, and their aura was overwhelming.
Every Four-Winged Emerald Devil Mantis exuded a Commander Tier aura, and the inexplicable aura was intimidating.
Eight Commander Tier Familiars!
The surrounding organizations each only had three or four Commander Tier Familiars. After all, they could not send out all their forces.
