Chapter 192 So That's It

After a while, the twelfth test on parasite improvement ended, and Li He walked out of the room with a frown.

Some results were obtained through the test, but generally speaking, it was difficult to satisfy people.

The iron wireworms and the dark flies that were tested died, and the ghost fireflies did not die because of special care, but their physiological state was also very poor.

Almost three parasites were sacrificed, but there was no breakthrough in improvement.

Where is the problem? Where is the breakthrough? Li He frowned and thought.

The reason why the iron wireworms and the dark flies are difficult to transform is quite obvious, that is, their physiological structure is too stable and difficult to be affected by the outside world. If forced to catalyze the change, the physiological indicators of both will decline sharply and eventually die.

As for the ghost fireflies, there are some differences. It is not that the physiological structure is too stable, but that the life is too fragile, so fragile that it cannot withstand a complete series of tests.

If the vitality is stronger, or the absorption effect of the life potion is better, there is still some hope.

But now, in this situation, we can only give up.

After all, the number of ghost fireflies is too small. If there are a few more tests, they will die.

Shaking his head, Li He sighed: "Too fragile..."

"Great Master Li He, according to your arrangement today, it seems that there is a plan to go to the plantation to check the growth status of the demonized plants. The latest batch of demonized plants are mature, do you think so..." Alenx walked out of the door behind Li He, looked through Li He's schedule, and reminded him in a low voice. He knew that Li He's experiment did not achieve the desired results, and he should not be in a good mood. Although Li He has always been able to control his emotions and will not lose control, he still subconsciously tried to make his voice as soft as possible.

After listening to Alenx's words, Li He nodded, remembering that there was indeed such an arrangement, and walked out of the pest experiment area, ready to go to the planting area.

While walking, he muttered to himself: "It would be great if the vitality of the ghost firefly could be comparable to that of the demonized plants. It is too weak, and I don't know why..."

"Snap!"

Li He suddenly stopped, his eyes slightly widened, and turned wildly in his eye sockets, as if he was thinking about something quickly.

Alenks was startled, stared at Li He for two seconds, quietly moved away, waited for a long time and saw that Li He had been standing still, so he mustered up the courage to ask softly: "Master, what's wrong with you..."

As a result, Li He raised his hand and gestured to interrupt Alenks before he said half of the words.

The eyes turned slowly, turned his head, looked directly at Alenks, and asked in a deep voice: "Why?"

"Ah? What why?"

"Why is the vitality of the ghost firefly so fragile?"

"Why... why?" Alenks was confused, he really didn't know.

"This is the key." Li He's eyes became clear, "As a parasite, as a demonized creature, it should not be so fragile, even worse than ordinary insects. I guess this may be related to the characteristics of the ghost firefly itself. If it can be fully understood and corrected as a key point, it is possible to make a breakthrough."

"Then..."

"Prepare for the thirteenth experiment on parasite improvement immediately." Li He said quickly while walking back.

"Then, Master, what are the arrangements for going to the plantation?"

"Postpone it, postpone all the arrangements, and wait until my experiment is finished."

"Yes, I understand."

Arenx nodded.

Li He walked back to the room, directed Arenx to make preparations, and soon began the thirteenth experiment on parasite improvement.

A healthy ghost firefly was sent to the test table, and Li He handled it carefully.

Half an hour later, under Li He's gaze, the ghost firefly died.

Not discouraged, Li He asked Arenx to fetch the second healthy ghost firefly.

But this ghost firefly only lasted for twenty minutes and died again.

Li He frowned deeply, but did not give up. With a wave of his hand, he asked Arenx to quickly fetch the third healthy ghost firefly.

This time, it took a full hour for the ghost firefly to die.

The number of ghost fireflies in Li He's hand dropped to sixteen, including one injured individual.

Li He stood in front of the experimental table in a sterile suit. His eyes were overly congested because he had been staring at tiny objects for a long time. His eyeballs were full of bloodshot and he looked a little tired, but his expression was calm and his eyes were lost in thought.

Alenks was a little uneasy. Seeing that there were only thirteen ghost fireflies left, he felt that if they continued to be consumed at this rate, they would be completely consumed in a day.

He took a deep breath and asked quietly: "Master Li He, do you want to continue? Or... take a break first? You didn't take a break on the road, and you are still like this when you return to the academy. Don't be exhausted, or take a break..."

"Okay." Li He nodded and gave a confirmed answer.

"Really?" Alenks was a little surprised and hurried to clean up the experimental table.

The next moment, he heard Li He say: "Okay, let's continue the experiment. Get me another, no, two ghost fireflies."

Alenks was stunned, then slowly exhaled, blinked his eyes, and found that he was not surprised at all, because he seemed to be used to Li He's similar decisions... How could he rest when the experiment hadn't produced any results?

Being your own master... is not something a normal person can be.

Okay.

"Understood." Alenx nodded in response, turned and walked into the next room, and soon took out two healthy ghost fireflies.

The experiment continued.

More than ten minutes later, a ghost firefly was fixed on the operating table of the laboratory table. Li He carefully cut open the back surface with a micro blade and chanted a spell. The purple-black mist belonging to the curse approached the ghost firefly.

As if sensing danger, the ghost firefly struggled violently, and its body began to brighten. There were faint small arcs, and when it came into contact with the purple-black mist, the mist quickly dissipated.

Soon, all the purple-black mist was defeated by the arc, and the curse was successfully resisted. The ghost firefly itself began to twitch, as if it had serious side effects.

Particularly prominent was that deep in the back wound, a deep red light was coming out.

Li He put on a microscope on his right eye, quickly adjusted the focus, locked the inside of the wound, and saw a light pink fleshy silk thread there, like the energy path of the firefly, with arcs flashing continuously on the surface.

In the flashing, the energy pathway became burnt, the wound turned black, and the entire ghost firefly gradually turned black.

A few seconds later, under the watchful eyes, the ghost firefly burned into a ball of charcoal.

Li He turned his head and looked at the several pieces of charcoal next to the experimental table. They were all the remains left after the ghost fireflies died.

With a little sparkle in his eyes, he said: "So that's it!"
