Adventurer of the Elf World

Institute backyard.

In the open space that Xiu used as a training ground in the past, Xiu, Casey, and the giant claw mantis sat together.

"Let's start." Xiu closed his eyes after saying that, waiting for that familiar feeling.

Telepathy connected the three of them together, and Xiu once again entered a strange space inside the giant claw mantis.

How to say it, this is not a superpower inspection, there is no feedback and of course there is no special vision. All Xiu can see is darkness, there is nothing around, he feels like he is suspended in the air.

Soon, Xiu found a faint blue light in the darkness. Xiu tried his best to go there, but no matter how he moved, his position did not move at all.

He wanted to speak, but there was no sound.

There was only endless darkness around.

Maybe his activities attracted the attention of the blue light. Xiu could see that the blue light was getting brighter and brighter, and finally came in front of him.

It's just strange that there is a small ball of light in front of him, and Xiu can feel the familiar energy fluctuations of Casey.

The light ball emitted circles of blue fluorescence, which gradually dissipated like ripples on the water, just like a fluorescent jellyfish swimming in the deep sea, bringing up the sea water.

Xiu seemed to have noticed something at this time. He looked down and saw nothing. He seemed to have guessed what he looked like now.

There was a little problem with the training of the giant mantis. This time, Xiu teamed up with Casey to explore the energy deep inside the giant mantis.

Trying to find the root of the problem of the giant mantis.

Although Xiu was not here for the first time, he still had little understanding and experience of this place.

Before Xiu could think more, the blue ball floated down, and Xiu also felt a pulling force pulling him down.

He knew that it was Casey who was leading him, so he did not resist, but floated along.

In this environment, time and space seemed to have lost their concepts. Xiu did not know how long he had floated, nor how far he had floated.

All he could do was follow Casey in front of him.

Slowly, Xiu felt a breeze. He carefully felt that it was indeed the feeling of a breeze blowing across his skin, but where did the wind come from?

Soon, Xiu found that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, from the original breeze to a strong wind, blowing on his body like a thousand knives.

Fortunately, Casey in front slowed down and took Xiu into its halo, and Xiu immediately felt saved.

Xiu could see that the wind and the halo were in contact with each other. Now the halo on Casey's body changed from a regular circle to a comet, and Xiu was on the small tail.

With the protection of the halo, the two continued to move forward, into the depths of the darkness.

Gradually, the darkness faded, replaced by two large light balls like the red sun, which gave people a sense of insignificance just by looking at them.

It can be felt that the strong wind was emitted by these two light balls, because the closer they got, the more they felt the intensity was increasing.

If it weren't for Casey's protection, I'm afraid I would be blown away in the first place.

Xiu and Casey looked at the two light balls from a distance, one big and one small, the light green one was bigger, and the other silver one was at least half smaller.

According to previous experience, the two spheres also conflict with each other, and they reach a balance in the mutual movement.

But now this balance seems to be destroyed. The light green light ball is constantly squeezing the silver light ball.

And it seems that this is irregular...

After a while, Xiu slowly opened his eyes and said to the giant claw mantis: "The root cause of your energy mobilization problem has been found. I don't know why there is a clear difference between the two energies in your body, which has caused the hard-maintained balance to be broken. The two sides interfere with each other and are naturally difficult to mobilize."

Xiu found the problem directly, but out of caution, he would not make a complete judgment on the situation with just this investigation. He also needed to give the giant claw mantis a long-lost full-body examination.

"Let's go~ Come with me to the laboratory."

…………

The next day, the laboratory on the second floor of the institute

"Xiu!" Dr. Oak shouted to Xiu on the other side, and then said to him in a serious tone: "The data just came out, come and take a look."

"The data is out?" Xiu also realized that there might be something wrong, and hurried over.

Looking at the data on the computer screen, Xiu has more or less understood it after so long, and saw the problem from these data.

The metal content of the giant mantis' body is decreasing.

Although he saw this, Xiu did not feel strange, because he had guessed this situation before.

"Doctor, we have discussed this issue before, and it is not surprising that this situation has occurred."

"It is not strange, but I found that this decline is synchronized based on the data you recorded. I don't know whether it is caused by internal problems or vice versa. If you don't figure this out, it will be difficult for you to ensure the stability of the giant mantis's combat effectiveness."

Xiu did not speak, but instead focused his eyes on the screen again.

"Doctor, do you think that it may be metabolism that has taken those metal elements out of the body? And we know that those metals are concentrated in the outer shell, and as the outer shell wears, they will also cause loss."

Dr. Oak raised his hand and pointed out several data on the screen.

"This does exist, but in theory, this loss should be regular and stable, but according to the current situation, according to the data, this decline is very unstable, sometimes falling by a few tenths, sometimes falling by single digits.

Don't look at this difference as small, in fact, it has been dozens of times."

"Then there is only one reason. The training of the giant claw mantis consumes energy, but it is reasonable that the two types should be consumed together. Why is there such a clear gap?"

"According to what you said before, the light green energy exists in the giant claw mantis itself, and the silver energy only appears after evolution.

So is it possible that it is a problem of source, one part is supplemented from a certain aspect, but not from another aspect, resulting in continuous loss?"

"Well~it is indeed possible." Xiu fell into thinking.

He even knew better than Professor Oak that the light green energy represented the insect attribute of the giant claw mantis itself, and the silver was naturally the steel attribute.

The giant claw mantis itself can obtain insect energy by eating, but it cannot actively generate steel energy, which led to this result.

The reason why this situation caused him to delve into it was because this matter might involve another problem of the giant claw mantis.

That is, when the metal element in its body drops to a certain level, is it possible to turn back into a flying mantis?

Xiu felt that this was the core of the problem.
