Sorcerer's Survival Manual

The patrol team patrols every night, and when people in the town fall asleep and wake up, they know best, but although other patrol team members will whisper a few words about Ansair's staying up late, they will not Messy ran to talk about it in front of others.

Only the three-person team of Liang Bang, after seeing the lights that never went out almost all night, not only specifically asked Ansair to tell him not to go to bed too late, but also notified Dr. Ma and Kong Ru to let them watch. point.

——Although I'm not sure if it's because of their relationship that Ansair suddenly started to stay up late, but no matter what, children should go to bed early and get up early. Is there anything that can't be done during the day, and the precious sleep time at night must be used.

After Dr. Ma and Kong Ru found out about this, it was impossible for Ansair to stay up all night.

"You have to go to bed before [-] o'clock. Why do children stay up all night? Do you still want to grow taller? If we find out, your books and mobile phones will be confiscated." They thought the child was staying up in the middle of the night playing with his mobile phone to read.

Although it is indeed in the book, it is just not those children's books.

The fierce Kong Ru is still very imposing, at least she scares Ansair, a demigod magician, who dare not keep the lights on in the middle of the night, for fear that the other party will come directly from the next door.

——It’s not that I’m worried about growing taller!

Fortunately, after several days of hard work, and with the luck of the goddess of luck, he finally found the alchemy notebook that mentioned the man-made magic core.

And very fortunately, the owner of this alchemy notebook happened to be the descendant of the master alchemist who created the artificial magic core technology. His alchemy notebook even recorded this technology, but for some unknown reason the artificial magic core was made The recipe is not complete. Although the man-made magic core can be made according to this recipe, it cannot completely replicate the work of that master.

The artificial magic core made by the alchemist is almost indistinguishable from the real magic core. After putting it into the heart, it can completely replace the real magic core. Even if the user works hard enough, he can even make the artificial magic core It can also be upgraded, and after the artificial magic core is upgraded, it will completely merge with the user and become a real magic core.

And the man-made magic core produced by the incomplete formula recorded by the owner of this notebook is extremely short-lived, and the lifespan of one is only one year. After one year, it must be replaced with a new one.

Of course, this low-profile artificial magic core is not completely without advantages.

The cost of the original man-made magic core is extremely high. In addition to tailor-made, the raw materials used must be higher-level monster cores, and the low-end artificial magic core has no restrictions in this regard. What level do you want to use? Animal cores are fine, and the prices of other materials required are also more affordable.

And no matter what kind of man-made magic cores, their users can only be magicians of the same level or higher level as the raw material beast core of the magic core, otherwise they will not only be unable to use them, but will also die because they cannot control the power and explode.

And this kind of low-profile artificial magic core formula with many disadvantages and few advantages is exactly what Ansair needs at present. If it is a complete version, even if he succeeds in making it, no one will be able to use it.

Overjoyed to have found a formula that worked, Anseyre, once again grateful for his good luck, fell into a heart problem.

The other parts of the man-made magic core are okay. The materials that need to be used are basically used to draw magic lines and formations on the beast core. This is exactly what Ansair is good at. I believe that given enough time, he will be able to find a replacement.

But the most basic material, the animal core, Ansair was not so sure that he could get it.

Mutants don't have magic cores anymore, will the mutant beasts here have beast cores?

If there is no beast core, he can't find anything to replace it.

For this reason, he deliberately searched the Internet, but unfortunately there is very little information about mutant beasts on the Internet, and there is no information about it at all.

Ansair originally wanted to ask Liang Bang and the others again, but thinking of the identity he fabricated for himself, he was worried that if the mutant beast did not have a beast core, then he would not be able to explain how he knew the existence of the beast core and why he needed it .

So Ansair turned his mind on the mutant beast.

That night, there was no rain in the sky, and even the wind was hot at night after the upwelling of the earth's air, making it very difficult for people to sleep peacefully.

At this time, except for the patrol team, no one was active outside, and even the patrol team couldn't help but ran back to the lounge to rest.

Ansair came out of the dormitory and floated all the way to the vicinity of the Qian'an Mountains. He didn't specifically search for the existence of mutant beasts, but went directly to the two nests of mutant beasts that robbed his earthen house.

The first thing he went to was the den of the mutant fox-like beast.

After the vines in this area were removed by him, no other mutant beasts gathered nearby. When Ansair came over, in order not to scare the mutant beasts in the lair, he stopped at a distance and let the five little ones pass by. Check the situation.

Wu Xiaoxi flew over laughingly, followed the cave dug out by the mutant beast, flew around for a while, and flew back laughingly.

[An'an, there's a baby inside!three!Mother fox is feeding the baby!Let's not catch them, shall we? 】

The little ones knew what Ansair was here for, but when they saw the fluffy baby fox, they were a little bit reluctant.

Ansair is actually more inclined to catch the fast-growing mutant beast next door, but hearing what they say, he can't help teasing them.

"There are many cubs in the den of the other mutant beast, can I not catch them?"

Originally, he thought that a few little ones would say that they couldn't catch them.

In the end, a few little ones told him very seriously: [There are too many mutant beasts over there, too many are not good, they can be caught. 】

Although their minds are still young, their elemental life for so many years is not in vain, especially for things about nature, the little ones also have their own understanding.

Touching their little heads with mental power to express his approval, Ansair left the lair and went to the next location.

There is a moon in the sky tonight, and under the moonlight, the large vines on the ground have expanded a lot compared to the last time he came here, and there are indeed more mutant beasts looking for food nearby. The group of vines living in the middle of the vines Mutant beasts and other small mutant beasts ushered in more hunters, making this night vine field more vibrant and more dangerous than other places.

Even though the appearance of Ansair, who came with the wind, did not make much noise, the mutant beasts with a keen sense of smell still found him.

Just like the group of little monsters who saw Ansair for the first time, these mutant beasts didn't want to escape when they saw Ansair, who was several times bigger than them, but judged him in the dark. dangerous.

Most of the mutant beasts here have never seen humans, but there are also some mutants who have seen the patrol team clearing the woods from afar.

Mutants have strong power fluctuations, and mutant beasts that are extremely sensitive to danger will leave immediately when they see them.

And Ansair's magic power is not always released like mutants. Although he still has some power leaking out when he uses magic, the fluctuation of that little magic power is in the eyes of these low-level mutant beasts. It belongs to the level of "no danger, you can ignore it".

There were even some large carnivorous mutant beasts that began to judge whether this sudden human could become a prey.

Eventually, deceived by the prey's appearance, a pack of carnivorous mutants the size of a medium dog attacked him.

The abilities of low-level mutant beasts themselves are not powerful, and their abilities can only strengthen themselves, unlike mutants and high-level mutant beasts, which can release abilities externally, but this does not mean that they are not dangerous.

Like the group of little monsters that attacked Ansair before, they are small in size, and after mutating, they can cover their hair with supernatural powers, making the originally soft fur look like a cactus, and they suddenly attack the target. That thorn can cause a lot of damage, and the whole group will be attacked once it is dispatched. Even if they are almost the lowest-level mutant beasts, it is not something ordinary people can handle.

The mutant beasts that attacked Ansair this time mainly mutated and strengthened their minions. Their sharp claws can leave marks on iron plates. Although the teeth are not poisonous, they have deadly bacteria. If the wound is not cleaned immediately, the person may die from infection.

There are five mutant beasts in this group. It is a small family. Like most other low-level mutant beasts, they live in groups and cooperate with each other when hunting. When they migrated here from the mountains, a large nearby forest was divided into their own. territory.

Ansair, who appeared suddenly, was naturally regarded as an intruder.

Several mutated beasts suddenly rushed out from a hidden corner, and attacked Ansair from several angles that were difficult to avoid.

"bang bang bang bang"

It is still a familiar formula and a familiar taste.

These raiders followed in the footsteps of the little mutant beasts.

No matter how fast they ran and how hard they used before, how much damage they received now, all the mutants convulsed and fell around Ansair.

How could Ansair be completely unprepared when he entered the dense forest at night where danger could be encountered at any time.

His protective shield has never been removed.

And this time, Ansair deliberately covered the surface of the protective cover with an invisible electric current, as long as it is touched, it will become an electric shock. Whoever tries it will know how it feels.

There was a lot of movement here. When the assailant hit the protective shield, the sudden flash of electric arcs alarmed the mutant beasts that were hunting for food in the dark. There were small rustling sounds from the vines, and many small black figures disappeared. Among the moonlight.

[An'an, there is one end that hasn't left, do you want to catch it? 】

[There is also one here, and it doesn't look good. 】

[Look here, there is a lazy guy down here, who is still sleeping! 】

[There is a bird's nest on the tree, and the baby bird inside is hairless, so ugly, but the feathers of mother bird and father bird are so beautiful, ah, can I pluck a feather? 】

[There is a lot of movement in the ground. It is the group of small mutant beasts from last time. They seem to have new members, but there seem to be fewer old members. 】

Occupying the other creatures and not being able to see them, the five elemental spirits jumped up and down to report the situation to Ansair.

Ansair's original target was the group of little mutated beasts, but since there were ready-made prey coming, it would save him from doing it again.

With a wave of his index finger, the vines on the ground immediately moved and crawled over, binding a few unlucky mutant beasts on the ground tightly.

"Woooooooo..."

The mutated beasts, which were tightly entangled by vines and unable to move, wailed for mercy. If you look carefully, they also look a bit like dogs, probably some kind of canids mutated.

But Ansair didn't soften his heart just because he begged for mercy a few times. Even, Ansair, who thought they were a little noisy, let the vines tie up their mouths without hesitation.

After the mutant beast couldn't make a sound, the whole world fell silent.

Ansair removed the current from the protective cover, squatted down, stretched out his hand to stick to one of the mutant beasts, and involuntarily used his mental power to explore the inside of its body.

The mutant beast's ability works differently from the mutant. This low-level mutant beast's abilities are mainly concentrated on the head and limbs. Although there are some other parts of the body, the amount is very small and can almost be ignored.

And the source of their abilities is also not in the heart.

Ansair found the source of this mutant beast's power in its head.

As soon as he came into contact with this place, Ansair frowned, and it didn't take long before he withdrew his mental power.

Like the mutant, this mutant beast's power head is located in the center of the forehead, and it is also a cloud of air, without the existence of a beast core.

This gave him a bad feeling.

His hand probe looked like the next mutant beast.

The five captured mutant beasts were inspected one at a time. When Ansair withdrew his hand, the vines on their bodies also loosened. The escaped mutant beasts did not attack him again, but quickly got up with their tails between their legs. Turn around and run.

Mutant beasts still have a certain amount of wisdom, although not much, but enough for them to understand that the human being in front of them is not an object to attack.

Seeing a few mutated beasts running away, five little ones surrounded them: 【Won't An An catch them? 】

"No, it's useless to catch it."

Ansair's frown has not been loosened since just now.

Five mutated beasts were investigated, none of them had a nucleus, and nothing was found.

The unbelieving Ansair asked the elves to find out all the mutant beasts that were hiding, and then ordered the vines to tie up all of them, and continued to investigate.

This night, the mutant beasts in the vine field were unlucky, and they were forced to play a bondage play with Ansair one by one.

All night, Ansair was doing physical examinations on these mutant beasts. He caught more than 50 mutant beasts—most of them came from the group of small mutant beasts that robbed his meditation place—but all the way After investigating, none with a beast core was found.

Just when he wanted to give up and had to admit that the mutant beasts in this world might really have no magic core/beast core just like the mutants, the aura of the goddess of luck played its role again.

After checking all the adult and semi-adult mutant beasts, Ansair finally stretched out the monsters to the nest of chicks that had just been born and hadn't even fully grown their fur.

Originally, he didn't intend to attack this group of chicks, but after all the mutant beasts failed, Ansel, who was a little upset, just heard the cries of chicks in the nest.

At this time, the sky had already started to turn white, and it would be dawn soon. Ansair, who was attracted by the calls and let go of the other useless mutant beasts, decided to go back after inspecting the group of chicks.

He floated up the branch, and under the helpless and desperate eyes of the bird father and mother bird who were entangled by vines under the tree, he stretched out his magic hand to the chicks in the nest.

These chicks are the youngest mutated beasts found by Ansair today. The three tiny chicks still have eggshells around them, and one of them has no lanugo, and it is likely that the shell just broke. Yes, it was probably when he was inspecting other monsters, and the remaining two were bigger than the other, so it was easy to distinguish their order of seniority.

I thought it would be nothing this time.

But when Ansair proficiently probed the mental power that had shrunk many times into their small heads, which were not much bigger than a finger, he unexpectedly let out an "噫".

In the head of this chick, there is actually a beast core. Although this beast core is smaller than a sesame seed, under the perception of spiritual power, the beast core is still invisible.

Disappointed for too many times, he couldn't believe what he had found. After confirming it several times, he believed that he was not hallucinating because he was tired from too many investigations, but that he really found a beast core.

The lines between the brows stretched out, and Ansair showed a smile.

This is definitely the biggest surprise of the day.

Marking the chick, he placed his hand on the head of another chick.

There are three chicks in this bird's nest, and the miraculous thing is that all three chicks have animal nuclei in their heads.

Moreover, he also found that among the three chicks, the one born later had the larger animal nucleus in its head. Although this size difference is almost difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, under the capture of mental power, even the slightest difference Also at a glance.

They looked as if the animal nucleus in their body would slowly disappear as their body and age grew.

This is completely opposite to the Seran Continent. In the Seran Continent, the cores of adult monsters are much larger than those of juvenile cubs.

But if this is the case, then it's normal that he didn't find the animal cores in the bodies of those mutant beasts before—they may have had animal cores in the past, but the animal cores that should have grown together after they grew up were because of unknown The reason is gone.

Or, it's because the magic here hasn't been around long enough for the mutant beast to evolve a beast core. The situation of these chicks may be just an example.

I don't know if there are people in this world who specialize in the study of these mutant beasts. If he can get to know a few of them, maybe he will have the answer.

Putting this doubt aside for a while, Ansair once again focused on the lair.

In addition to the three chicks, there are two unhatched eggs in this bird's nest. Ansair intends to take them all back, and wait for the eggs to hatch to see if the little life in these two eggs also has animal nuclei .

Since the bird's nest was to be packed and taken away, the parents of the two birds would naturally have to take it back with them. He didn't know how to raise chicks, so he could only rely on their parents to take care of them.

As for whether these birds would be obedient, Ansair wasn't worried at all.

Carrying the parent bird, which was tied up so firmly that it didn't even let go of its beak, in one hand, and the bird's nest in the other, Ansair returned to the dormitory amidst the cries of chicks.

While eating breakfast, Kong Ru asked him, "Xiao An, I seem to have heard birds chirping in your room this morning? Did a bird fly in?"

Probably because she told too many lies, and Ansair's lying skills have also improved a little. Hearing her words, he nodded without changing his face: "Well, a few birds came in and almost grabbed the succulents on the window .”

The windows of Ansair’s dormitory face north, and there is a guardrail outside. On the guardrail, there are two pots of succulents that love the shade. They are all left by the people who lived here before. He didn’t move after he moved in. I find it interesting to have too many meaty plants, and I water them every day and then feed them some wood magic, so even in the rainy season, these two plants grow very well, and there are often sparrows and the like The little birds came to eat them stealthily, but Ansair set up a vigilance to prevent them from succeeding.

And Kong Ru also has a deep understanding of this: "Then you have to take some protective measures, otherwise those little thieves will come back."

Kong Ru likes to grow flowers. She not only planted a lot of flowers and plants in her room, but also on the railing at the door. She even surrounded the open space on the roof with a small area dedicated to planting those flowers and plants that she likes. The persecution is naturally well understood.

Ansair nodded in response.

The breakfast was almost finished, Kong Ru asked him as usual: "Are you going to the hospital with me today?"

Ansair shook his head: "I want to stay in the room and read."

By the way, do some small experiments that can't be seen.

"Well, you're the only one who dares to stay in a place without air-conditioning in such a hot day." Kong Ru sighed, and didn't say that it would be more comfortable to read a book with air-conditioning in the hospital, because there are not only air-conditioning in the hospital, but also a bunch of people who come to enjoy the air-conditioning The aunts and aunts of the town are more lively than five hundred ducks, and they especially like to tease the only minor in the town. It is basically impossible to read a book there with peace of mind.

After sending Kong Ru away and helping his aunt clean up the table, Ansair took some leftover rice grains and green vegetable leaves and went back to the room.

In the dormitory, a bird's nest was placed on the desk in front of the window. In addition to the three chicks and two eggs, there were also two adult birds squatting in the nest.

It's not that they don't want to escape, it's just that the mother bird can't bear to part with her baby, and the father bird can't even fly out of the nest.

The vines that originally bound them were now turned into a birdcage by Ansair, covering the entire bird's nest inside, and the vines were covered with a layer of reinforcement magic, even if the father bird could send out wind blades, There is no way to cut through these sturdy vines.
