Chapter 876: Leviathan’s Cultivation Abnormality
Lines of text appeared on the clay tablet.
"As early as the Age of the Spirit King, the Eldar had already domesticated Leviathans as assistants in hunting, reconnaissance, or combat. Later, after continuous improvement, some subspecies gradually became companion pets."
"Compared to the wild Behemoth, Leviathan is smaller and smarter. It can understand the Eldar and is willing to interact and follow. It is also because of the choices made by both parties that Leviathan eventually became a life form closely related to the Eldar."
"To raise a Leviathan cub, you need to use the [Spirit Cage Mythology] or [Commoner Camp] to carry out specific feeding."
"[Spirit Cage Mythology] will train Leviathan into a loyal and alert guard and warrior, capable of performing dangerous tasks such as guarding the Exiles."
"[Commoner Camp] focuses on training the cooperation ability of Leviathan and Eldar, and will train smart and reliable companions who can not only complete many daily tasks, but also communicate skillfully and intimately with the Eldar."
…
Lu Yao read all the descriptions.
It turns out that Leviathan also has vocational training.
[The Myth of the Spirit Cage] builds it into a warrior and guard, able to track and guard prisoners such as demons.
[Commoner Camp] aims to turn Leviathan into an everyday companion, similar to a service dog.
However, the clay tablet also clearly states that in order to cultivate a qualified Leviathan, these two myths must be passed.
Lu Yao didn't have any.
He could not get any effective answer if he asked again.
Joseph said that the Leviathans in the Time Stop Zone feed on cursed insects, and they have no other food options there. So most of the time, the Leviathans prefer to stay in the God's Domain, where food is much more abundant.
According to the description of Leviathan's own ability [Coiled World Serpent], they can treat all kinds of elements as food.
Lu Yao prepared to give it a try.
He asked Isabel to ask the gods to prepare some elemental crystals.
Before long, truckloads of supplies were delivered to Resurrection City’s exclusive location.
Isabel waved the natural magic wand in her hand, and an elemental crystal flew towards the Leviathan larva floating in the air.
Fire element crystal structure.
The larvae hug it and swallow it whole.
Water element crystal structure.
eat.
Sand element crystal structure.
Eat eat eat.
…
The Leviathan cub accepted everything and swallowed all the elemental crystals into its stomach.
Its excretion method is to shake off a lot of dust from its body surface.
After receiving instructions from Lu Yao, Isabel began to use universal resources such as World Stone and Almighty Stone to find a better recipe.
But this cub is like a ruthless eating machine. You can’t tell the difference between different foods, but its body just keeps growing bigger.
As it eats different elements, the color of its body changes. When it swallows the fire element, its body turns red. When it eats the water element, it turns blue-white. When it absorbs the wind element, it turns green... When it eats, its body becomes like a colorful lantern.
After two hours of feeding.
Isabel suddenly said, "My Lord, young ones tend to be rather picky eaters."
"From the first feeding till now, the larva has eaten 367 crystals of 10 elements in total. The element it eats the least is the [isolated element]. It has not eaten this element since it ate it once. It seems that it cannot absorb it, or it does not need it."
Lu Yao thought it was normal.
[Orphan Element] is believed to be an inert substance from the outer universe. The Eye of the Void cannot do anything with it and can only spray it out.
Leviathan can't eat this.
"Most elements are relatively balanced, but Leviathan has shown a normal intake of [dark elements]. It has eaten all 84 dark element crystals in this batch. Since it ate the first one, it has given priority to dark elements. If I hadn't forced it to take in other elements, Leviathan would tend to only eat dark elements if it had a choice."
Isabel said: "To sum up, I think Leviathan is very eager for the power of dark elements."
Lu Yao fell into deep thought.
[Dark Element] was discovered very early. It is a common element captured by a dissociation cannon during bombing and decomposition. However, its in-depth research is still ongoing.
Later, the Jindan Kingdom's "Invisible Wind" inference was integrated to confirm and develop the spatial characteristics of the dark element.
It seems normal that Leviathan can travel between the two worlds, has spatial properties, and requires equally compatible dark elements.
After asking, Lu Yao confirmed that dark elements are now easy to obtain.
So he gave the order that the young ones should be given as much as they wanted to eat.
But Isabel disagreed.
"My Lord, please forgive my rudeness, but too much intake is risky for the young."
"Among forest elemental creatures, even forest wolves don't only eat the meat they love. Instead, they will take in some edible fruits, as well as some grass and roots. Old wolves will teach and force young wolves to eat a balanced diet, which can not only replenish the various substances needed by the body, reduce the possibility of disease, but also improve their endurance."
"Just following your instincts can leave hidden dangers."
"So, please allow me to give Leviathan a balanced diet."
Lu Yao thought it made sense.
——Do as you say.
Therefore, Isabel took on the role of Leviathan’s nutritionist and educator.
She adjusted the meal, increased the proportion of dark elements, added appropriate amounts of world stone and omnipotent stone, and was also trying more other food supplements.
Leviathan initially resisted, wanting only to eat the dark element crystals and refusing to eat anything else.
But Isabel cruelly cut off its food supply and used force to persuade it, and the Leviathan larva soon surrendered. It ate whatever she told it to eat.
Not only that, the Leviathan larva was very flattering to Isabel, flying around her to please her. It seemed that it had already understood its position.
Lu Yao looked at it and nodded.
You can't spoil picky eaters! You have to strike hard and cultivate good habits from a young age! Only in this way can they grow taller and have a stronger body.
Isabel fed and taught Leviathan at the same time, gradually making it smarter and smarter.
Even it can already use simple language.
"Hungry. Hungry."
"If you want to eat, give me more of that. It's delicious."
"Please."
"Stop hitting me! It hurts!"
…
And so on.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After one day of real universe time, Leviathan's body shape also changed. It changed from the original colorful glowing insect to the current black snake.
On the pixel screen, its head turned into a blurred vortex, and the scales on its body were slowly flowing like quicksand.
Leviathans tend to be dark in color and not very bright, but this self-raised Leviathan is completely black, as if it had been splashed with ink.
It crawled carefully at Isabel's feet.
Isabel knelt on one knee facing the screen: "My Lord, I have communicated with it repeatedly. Leviathans cannot become apostles. They are similar to feathered people. They are all repelled by the godhead, but they can use a certain amount of faith power."
"They are a group that uses blood and kinship as social relations, and have strict rules of seniority and hierarchy, which is somewhat similar to the dragon race. However, they are more rational and intelligent, and you have to help them, feed them, and take care of them for a long time before they are considered elders who are worthy of respect and are willing to obey."
"In its natural state, Leviathan's growth cycle is very long, but because it was fed with a large amount of elements and given the necessary education and enlightenment, it grew very fast and also recognized me."
"It recognized me as its elder through a bloodline ceremony not long ago. As long as I continue to train it, I believe it will be a very reliable partner of the Yao civilization."
Lu Yao was a little surprised.
Leviathan's intelligence is indeed extraordinary.
No wonder it is a high-level pet recognized by the elves.
Lu Yao clicked to view.
The data of the young Leviathan are still question marks, but there is one more item in its characteristics.
…
【Elders】
Isabel ...
Isabel continued, "Although it is still young, it has been able to construct the [Twisted Vortex] and open the passage to the Time Stop Zone. Now it can control itself and curb its instinctive impulses. The abundance of food has also made its personality gentle and easy to communicate with, and its brain is growing rapidly."
Lu Yao was a little surprised.
This progress far exceeded my expectations.
I saw Odin try to naturalize Leviathan before, but Leviathan ignored him until Ragnarok.
It seems that casually letting things run free is indeed unlikely to gain respect and recognition, and adopting a Leviathan is not an easy thing.
Lu Yao typing.
——Will there be any hidden dangers if it grows too fast? Isabel replied: "My Lord, I am also worried about this. But it expresses excitement and joy, and its intelligence is also steadily improving, and it does not feel uncomfortable at all."
"Leviathan chose a world to fall into slumber because it consumes the least energy. Slowly and sustainably absorbing the power of the world allows them to maximize their food intake. But now there is no such problem, so it can grow rapidly without restraint."
"My Lord, I will keep a close eye on its growth, please rest assured."
"But in order to help it think about itself better and distinguish itself from other lives, please give it a name."
Lu Yao thought about it.
——Just call it "Xiao Li".
"Yes, sir."
Isabel immediately looked at the ring-tailed snake next to her: "From now on, you are Xiaoli."
A light bulb popped up above Leviathan's head: "Xiao Li, Xiao Li, I am Xiao Li!"
…
The next morning.
Lu Yao woke up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, then returned to his workstation.
The Leviathan in the center of the screen grew larger, and some green ring-shaped patterns appeared on the surface of its dark body.
This is different from the Leviathan of the past.
Isabel, on the other hand, rode on the wand and said, "My lord, please look."
"Xiao Li, show Lord Yaoshen your growth."
"Yes, sir."
Leviathan curled up its body into an 8 shape, and the green patterns on its body formed two vortices in the air: one was a normal vortex, and the other had layers of ring-shaped light, which looked a bit psychedelic.
Lu Yao suddenly lost all sleepiness.
What's going on? Even the void channel is different?
Isabel said: "Sir, the left side is the normal passage to enter the time stop zone, and the right side is an unknown passage. It is a special change effect caused by Xiaoli eating a large amount of light gold."
"It itself doesn't know where it leads to. It just vaguely senses that it's not the God's Domain, nor the Time Stop Zone. It's a very strange and abnormal world where no elements can be sensed..."
Lu Yao was stunned.
Could it be... the outer space?
