Chapter Seventy-Nine: Thunder Trampling

Wren stood in front of a huge iron cage, observing the demonic beasts inside.

It was a behemoth, nearly five meters long from head to tail, with thick limbs and a shoulder-high body that was as wide and thick as an adult's shoulder, like a wall.

Its skin is rough and light gray, covered with a part of light blue scales, and it has a sharp horn half a meter long on its head, and a row of triangular bony fins that grow along its dorsal ridge to its tail, which is somewhat frightening to look at.

At this moment, it was lying in the cage for others to watch, starved for a long time, its eyes were blank, and thick chains bound it tightly, without the slightest strength to struggle.

Wren visually estimated that this guy weighed at least three or four tons!

It's not the first time he's observed, and every time he comes, he feels weird: "This is obviously a big rhinoceros, why is it called a thunder lizard?"

In Wren's mind, lizards are the kind of small animals with slender bodies and agile speeds, rather than such fierce and bulky beasts with incredible strength.

This is also confirmed by the elements seen by the soul eye.

This Thunder Lizard is a beginner-level demonic beast, and its strength is extremely strong, and it is the best of the beginner-level demonic beasts, which is equivalent to a third-level transcendent.

It has three elements, which are "Strength", "Arc of Lightning", and "Thunder Trample".

The strength element Wren is very familiar with, although it is only one level, but it also shows that the weight of this thunder lizard is not for nothing, if it is allowed to rush up and use a single horn to push it, few transcendents can withstand it.

Physical elements such as strength, when fused, can be superimposed with the same elements.

Wren is quite satisfied with this element, at least to increase his strength.

The Lightning Arc is a ring spell, and it is a rare lightning spell.

The Thunder Lizard casts an arc of lightning through a single horn on its head.

Before that, the owner of this demon soul shop stimulated the thunder lizard and caused it to release an arc of lightning, which was quite powerful, and the blue electricity shook the entire large iron cage.

At that time, Wren was a few meters away, and he also felt the slightest paralysis, and his hair stood on end.

This spell is powerful and has a good attack range, at least ten meters away.

The only downside is that the cast time is too long.

The cast time of a ring of lightning arcs is between three and four seconds, and Wren expects that if he masters this spell, he should be able to reduce the cast time to less than three seconds after a period of proficiency.

But three seconds was still too long for him.

In hand-to-hand combat, the confrontation between friend and foe is extremely fast, let alone three seconds, even one second is too long.

Three seconds is enough for him to hammer his enemies into meat sauce, and enough for them to slash and spark at himself.

But it's not impossible.

If you can increase the number of rings of the lightning arc, bring one or two pieces of equipment to accelerate spellcasting, and then drink the corresponding spellcasting potion, maybe it can be shortened to less than a second, and that will be almost enough.

Wren's favorite is still the last element, Thunder Trampling.

It's an ability-like element, and it's rare!

The Book of a Thousand Souls introduces Thunder Trample, which can be released by stepping on the ground under its feet, centering on itself, forming a shockwave with the power of thunder and lightning, and has both physical and energy attacks, with a range of about three to four meters, and can also paralyze the enemy after hitting, which is unguardable.

Best of all, Thunder Trample can be instantaneous!

This is the skill of the Thunder Lizard, and according to the owner who sold it, three of its captors were seriously injured and are still recuperating from this trick alone.

Wren is very impressed by this element.

He doesn't have a decent attack skill yet, and he relies on brute force to smash people with a war hammer.

If you can get thunder trampling, it is very suitable for fighting alone or fighting with a crowd.

Imagine that during a battle, you suddenly step on your foot and release thunder and lightning, and not many people can react, and you basically have to be hit.

Thunder trampling can knock people down, and it also has a paralyzing effect, so isn't it to be slaughtered by yourself?

If there is a downside, it is that Thunder Trample is an ability element, and it cannot be actively upgraded with soul power, and only has a certain chance of being strengthened when the soul changes.

This makes it have limited potential, and it may be strong in the early stages, but in the middle and late stages, it should not be very useful.

If Thunder Trample was a physical or arcane element, Wren did not hesitate and immediately chose to fuse.

It's a pity it's not.

"Why is such a good element, but an ability?" Wren was frustrated.

The other two demon souls he had chosen, Phantom Mantis and Wind Peng, were no less than the Thunder Lizard.

Those two demon spirits were dead in other stores, and they were contained in the soul stone.

The Phantom Mantis is a large insect before it dies, with a green body and a hideous appearance, and it also has three elements, "Phantom Walk", "Tear", and "Sonic Boom", the first two are physical elements, and the latter is a spell.

Wren likes Phantom Step very much, this is a rare level skill, after using it, it is as fast as lightning in a few seconds, and even fast enough to form an afterimage, which greatly makes up for his lack of speed.

Tearing is also good, and when a sharp weapon hits an enemy, it instantly tears open the wound and deals more damage.

However, Wren's usual weapon is a war hammer, which is usually killed directly when it hits the enemy, and the tearing element is a bit chicken.

The sonic boom spell is cast quickly, compressing air in a small area and then exploding, attacking enemies with sound waves, while the loud noise can also cause a brief tinnitus that can make people distracted.

Wren took a fancy to the Phantom Step and the Sonic Boom, and both improved himself a lot.

The last of the Wind Spirits, possessing "Acceleration", "Air Cutting" and "Wind Breath".

Needless to say, Viola blessed him in the battle at Winterthunder Lake that day, and he was about able to increase his speed by two percent.

Air Cutting is a wind-based spell, which is slower to cast, but it is an area attack, forming dozens of wind blades to cover a large area in front of it, cutting wildly, with no dead ends.

Breath of the Wind is a rare ability that allows people to have the power of wind attached to their body, slightly increasing their movement speed, whether they are holding a sword or a sword, a sword, or a hammer, it contains an air elemental attack, which is somewhat similar to the Demon Swordsman, but the power is less than that.

Also, because it's an ability, Breath of the Wind's potential is also a bit lacking.

These three demon souls have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they are already the best beginner demon souls that Wren can find in the market. The mid-level demon souls are better and stronger, but they are too powerful for second-level wizards to fuse.

Because they all contain rare elements, the price of three demon souls is far higher than that of ordinary demon souls.

The most expensive Thunder Lizard costs five hundred gold shields, and the Phantom Mantis and Feng Peng are a little cheaper, both around four hundred and fifty gold shields.

Two days ago, Viola had already disposed of those few loot and handed over the money to Rennes, with a total of more than 4,300 gold guilders, making a fortune.

So Wren is not short of money now, even if the price is several times more expensive, he can buy it.

He was now struggling with which demon soul to fuse, and he had been thinking about it for two days.

"Mr. Wren, have you thought about it?"

A woman in a red robe asked nearby.

She is the owner of this demon soul shop, and she is also an extraordinary person, and she can see that Wren is a real potential customer, and her attitude is very enthusiastic.

Wren glanced at her, shook his head and said nothing, still hesitating in his heart.

The landlady laughed and said slowly: "Mr. Wren, you have to hurry, there are many customers who have asked me about the price of the Thunder Lizard, but I have stayed until now for you." ”

"I see. Wren nodded.

He is very clear about these routines, and the female boss just wants to give herself some sense of urgency and form the illusion that the demon soul is very sought-after.

In fact, not many transcendents could afford such an expensive beginner demon soul, and there were not many potential customers.

For the vast majority of transcendents, the first demon soul that fuses after each soul transformation, that is, the main soul, has already been determined according to the choice of profession.

People come to the market to buy demon souls, usually as secondary souls.

Usually they have just experienced the Soul Ascension, and they have risen to the second and third levels, or the fifth and sixth levels.

Because of the conflict between the main soul and the secondary soul, the more powerful the demon soul, the more difficult it is to fuse, in case the fusion fails, the elements will be lost, and the strength will regress, and a chance to upgrade will be wasted.

To be on the safe side, many transcendents will choose a less strong demon soul as a secondary soul.

These ordinary demon souls usually only have one or two elements, and there are even transcendents who simply fuse the same demon souls to strengthen the existing elements.

On the contrary, it is more difficult to sell a very powerful demon soul, and the price is also high, so it will not reach a deal quickly.

In addition, the demon souls selected by Wren are all with arcane elements.

Many transcendent classes do not have the ability to cast spells, such as Iron Guard, Berserker, and Shadow Warrior, even if they are fused with these demon souls, they have no soul power, and the secret elements contained in them cannot be cast, which is a pure waste.

If a wizard buys it and strips off the arcane elements to make a magic seal, the remaining physical elements are useless, and it is also a waste.

Therefore, the most sought-after demon soul is still the kind of physical type that several elements are physique-like, or they are all arcane methods.

Occasionally, it is okay to have an ability element, and both soul and physical strength can activate the ability element.

It's actually rare to find a transcendent profession like Wren that requires a demon soul with multiple types of elements at the same time.

Including battle wizards, witchers, mechanics, magic swordsmen, and elemental marksmen, they are either rare professions, advanced professions, or holy professions belonging to the church, but the advanced professions are at least level 4 or above, and they are not as good as beginner demon souls.

Wren negotiated the price for each of the three demon spirits, and each paid a deposit of ten gold guilders for the store to keep for himself for two days.

During these two days, as long as no one bids higher, then he has the right of first refusal.

If you don't buy it after the deadline, the deposit will not be refunded.

Today is the last day, and Wren doesn't want to drag it out any longer. He didn't look at the other two demon spirits, he stood in front of this big iron cage and observed for a long time, in fact, he had already made a decision in his heart.

"It's useless to think too much, so I'll choose the Thunder Lizard. ”

Wren sighed secretly and said to the female boss: "You take out the demon soul of the thunder lizard, I bought it." ”

"Mr. Wren is a blast. ”

The landlady was overjoyed and immediately called the people in the store to come in and prepare to kill the thunder lizard.

Wren didn't look at the process of killing it, turned to leave, and went to the front desk of the store to pay.

He took out five golden banknotes from his bosom, which were the Golden Bills of the Imperial Bank, each worth a hundred gold guilders.

More than 4,300 gold shields, stacked up almost as heavy as a fine iron war hammer, more than 120 pounds, very inconvenient to carry, so Viola helped him exchange them all into golden tickets, three with a face value of 1,000 gold and thirteen with a face value of 100 gold, all with him.

It didn't take long for the female boss to send a soul stone over.

Wren picked it up and took a closer look, opened the Eye of the Soul, and made sure that this was the Thunder Lizard's Demon Soul.

In addition to the soul stones, the store also refunded an additional fifty gold guilders, including a deposit, and the corpse materials of the thunder lizard, which were also worth a lot of money.

Wren didn't stay long, put away the soul stone and left.

Leaving the shop, he cautiously observed the approaching transcendents with his soul eyes, contemplating the fusion of demon souls at night, while hearing many chaotic sound waves in his ears.

Halfway through the walk to the market, the sound of a few slight conversations came from a distance.

It's like a group of people coming together.

Wren didn't care much about it, and he didn't have the idea of joining in the fun, but there was a word that caught his attention.

"Dragon power?"

He couldn't help but stop, locked on to the sound source in that direction, and soon understood what was going on, someone was selling demon souls over there, with dragon power magic!

Wren was immediately intrigued.

He had heard of this spell, it was a rare level of auxiliary spells, which could be used for oneself or blessing others, and could greatly increase the strength, comparable to the power of a dragon.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration, and it is impossible for a one-ring spell to have such an amazing effect.

But dragon power can be improved, and with each ring, the increase in strength will be, and it is rumored that if you reach more than five rings, the strength is enough to rival a real dragon!

And the effect of dragon power is not only to enhance strength, after the blessing, it seems to be covered with a layer of dragon skin, which improves the resistance to magic, that is, "dragon skin technique".

Dragons' skins are inherently highly resistant to magic, and Dragonskin is derived from spells that mimic dragons' skins.

Comparing the increase in strength alone, the Dragon Force Technique is slightly inferior to the Great Force Technique, but with the addition of resistance to magic, the overall effect is far behind the Great Force Technique.

A dragon power technique is equivalent to the effect of dragon skin technique and giant power technique!

Wren changed direction and walked over, and soon saw that in a small square on the side of the street, five or six people were gathered around a stall, pointing at a soul stone.

He didn't approach immediately, but first observed it with the eye of the soul.

There are three of these small squares in the Demon Soul Market, and they are specially prepared for the transcendent.

Many transcendent people who are not satisfied with the price given by the store when they sell their goods, or want to barter, will set up stalls in this place, hoping to meet someone who knows the goods.

Wren has also visited the stall a few times these days, but he didn't find what he was looking for.

With his eyesight, it is easy to recognize that many of the people who set up stalls are liars, blowing their things to the sky, but they are not worth any money at all.

Wren's gaze swept quickly, but he didn't find Loshi's followers, so he walked to the stall and squeezed into the crowd.

When he saw the appearance of the stall owner, he was slightly surprised, these two people had seen each other before.

"It's their ......" wants to talk about "Warhammer Wizard" with more like-minded people, and WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life and finding confidants~
