Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Northern Border, the Snowy Plains
Fang Zheng found that he seemed to be really born with the teleportation girl.
The proof is that he's now teleported to a place where birds don't.
That's right, literally.
Where the hell is this?
Walking in the forest, Fang Zheng couldn't figure out where he had run. If it's just a forest, then it's not a big problem, but the problem is that Fang Zheng seems a little strange to find this forest, because logically speaking, even in winter, there will be animals in the forest. Even if most of the animals go to hibernation, there should be some signs of life.
However, there is nothing here!
Fang Zheng walked in the forest for a day and a night, and he didn't meet any animals! Even in the sky, there are no birds. For a while, this made Fang Zheng a little flustered, this can't be a teleportation error and throw me to a lifeless ghost place, if that's the case, it will be troublesome!
The only luck was that Fang Zheng found a river in the forest, and this also made him breathe a sigh of relief. According to Fang Zheng's memory, there must be human settlements above and below the river, and although the probability is not high, it is better than wandering around in the forest. Although after transforming his body, Fang Zheng is not as hungry as he was as an ordinary human, he still has to eat. If he gets lost for too long, I'm afraid he'll have to gnaw on the bark.
However, Fang Zheng was not idle, while he was in a hurry, he was also exploring his time ability to see if he could play any flowers. After all, I wasted so much effort in the world of "Edge of Tomorrow" to get this ability, so naturally it was not used to burn high incense on the countertop.
Boredom is always the best motivation to stimulate research, and during this time of rushing, Founder has really studied some ways to use time ability.
Teleport!
Of course, this "teleportation" is not the kind of teleportation through space, but the teleportation through time. For example, if Fang Zheng can run a distance of five kilometers in ten minutes, then his "teleportation" is to reduce this process to one second. In other words, Founder can appear up to five kilometers away in an instant, but this is not a passage through the barrier of space, it simply accelerates the flow of time.
And since the scope of the time ability is centered on Fang Zheng's self, as long as Fang Zheng can move, then there is no need to worry about leaving the scope of the ability.
But there is another problem with this way, and that is the physical strength consumed.
Temporal movement is not the same as spatial movement, which connects two places together to shorten the distance. However, time shifting only accelerates time, and does not reduce the consumption it should have. In other words, how much physical strength does Fang Zheng consume to run a hundred meters, and he still consumes the same amount of physical strength after using the time to accelerate, which is somewhat a less obvious disadvantage.
In addition, time acceleration will also increase the growth of Founder's body, and the price of being ten minutes faster than others is that it is easy to age ten minutes earlier than others. Although ten minutes is not too conspicuous on the surface, it adds up, and when ten minutes becomes ten years, it is another matter.
Luckily, the Zerg genes in Founder's body solved this problem perfectly, and Milune told him that the growth of the Zerg was a very unique cycle. When their devouring genes are enhanced, their bodies remain at the pinnacle of this form until the next devouring evolution. This is also the reason why the bosses in the Zerg are more difficult to deal with one by one, but because of the unique war mode of the Zerg, it is rare for the Zerg to live for so long.
In other words, everyone else is one year older, and in Founder's case, he is only one year older when he evolves once......... Therefore, no matter how many times Fang Zheng used the Time Ability, he would not age faster than others.
Not only that, but Founder also discovered another aspect of [Time Manipulation] ability, that is, the time and enveloping range of time manipulation are relative!
Currently, Founder's [Time Manipulation] level is E, with a maximum of ten minutes, and everything within a radius of five meters from Founder's center is affected by it. But Founder can increase the time limit by reducing the area, or expand the area by decreasing the time limit. For example, Fang Zheng can expand the area of effect from 10 meters to 100 meters, and the upper limit of the time he manipulates will be reduced to one minute. The reverse is also true, if Fang Zheng reduces his time range to within one meter, then his time limit will be increased to twenty minutes.
In addition, Founder has also explored a more complex way to use!
And this also comes from his perception of the ability of time, because in [Time Manipulation] it is written "manipulation at will"!
This means that Founder can not only speed up the flow of time, but even reduce and pause the flow of time!
On this basis, Founder has also re-trained a set of effective combat methods, which he calls ——— overlapping strike.
The whole process is actually very simple, when Fang is facing a target, he can choose to "teleport" himself to the opponent's side by "teleporting", "accelerating" flow for eight minutes, starting time "pause", and then "retreating" ten seconds ago to swing a sword, then "accelerating" ten seconds before swinging another sword, then "accelerating" thirty seconds and then putting a trial, after accumulating enough energy, "accelerating" for five seconds and then putting a ruling, and then "accelerating" one minute away from the target.
And in this way, in the eyes of the onlookers, it will become square, appear in front of the target in the blink of an eye, and then see a few sword lights, and then the sword of judgment and justice, plus the verdict, the verdict, the verdict......... Then the square disappears and the target hangs up.
But unfortunately, there is no hole in this ability to drill, and Founder can manipulate time, but it cannot distort and change time. He was indeed able to speed up and decelerate to achieve the purpose of controlling time, but he could not resist the process, which meant that if it took Fang Zheng eight minutes to reach the target's side, then when he "accelerated" to the front of the target eight minutes later, he could no longer "retreat" to two minutes ago to relaunch the attack. If Fang Zheng did this, then his own body would have returned to where it should have been two minutes ago.
Similarly, if it takes Fang Zheng's sword five seconds to hit the enemy, then he can't retreat second by second and then attack again to form an attack like five swords in one second, if Fang Zheng wants to modify it, he can only judge that this sword can't hit the enemy, and then go back five seconds ago, and then re-attack from another angle.
And it should be noted that no matter how Fang Zheng "retreats" and "accelerates", the total amount of time he manipulates is only a limited time. He can't convert that time into infinity, and no matter how he uses it, he has to make sure that the time he uses doesn't add up to the default limit.
Therefore, for Founder, no matter whether he "accelerates" for one second or "retreats" for one second, the ability will default to Fangzheng-1S-1S-1S............... It then accumulates until the time limit.
If time is compared to money, then Founder only has a certain amount of money in his hands, which can only be spent out, not taken back.
In addition, Founder also discovered a flaw in the ability to time.
Once he uses a powerful skill while manipulating time, the duration will be reduced!
This was discovered after Fang Zheng used the Royal Cross Sword Technique, and if he used a normal attack for a limited time, he didn't feel anything special. But if you want to use those powerful swordsmanship, such as Crusader Strike + Judgment + Holy Storm + Judgment, the consumption is very scary, he can't even maintain his ability, and it may even cause loss of strength. This also made Fang Zheng secretly remind, you must know that he insisted on a set of outputs in place, and his time ability could only support a maximum of three minutes.
This is still their own stakes, what if they are replaced by those powerful enemies?
Leave the Children of Chaos alone for now, if it's the Lord of the Lich, or a great knight like Malte and Stone, how long can his ability last in front of them?
Originally, Fang Zheng thought that the ability to manipulate time meant that he could do whatever he wanted in a period of time, but now it seems that if the other party has enough strength, then his control of time will be weakened, and if he encounters an enemy that he can't deal with, it is not impossible to be directly immune.
He was busy experimenting with his abilities all the way, and the description of his abilities was just an introduction, and he had to consider how to use them. As a game designer and veteran player, Fang Zheng is naturally very experienced in this area, so he directly regarded this thing as a skill, and then began to experiment with whether this skill was a support or a main attack......... So far, the auxiliary is still better. However, Fang Zheng always felt that if he was upgraded, maybe he would also have some potential in attack.
Now, of course, that doesn't work.
"Huh?"
Just as Fang was busy studying his abilities, he suddenly raised his head and looked ahead in surprise. Because just now, Fang Zheng keenly sensed the breath of life, and there were a lot of them!
The Zerg gene is still very keen in terms of sensing, and at this moment in Fang Zheng's brain, he can clearly feel that a lot of life signals are gathering not far from him. It's a bit like looking at the red dots on the minimap in an interstellar game, but it's a bit of a dissonance, but it's ......... As long as it's easy to use.
Finally found something alive!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also suddenly became excited, and then he immediately sped up and rushed forward.
It didn't take long for Fang Zheng to reach his destination, as he thought, where there was water, there would be people, and what appeared in front of Fang Zheng was a small town. From the outside, this town is a very beautiful place, but now, it has nothing to do with beauty and peace.
The reason is simple, it was attacked.
What's more, the attack did not come from humans.
"That's ........."
Standing on a tree branch not far away, Fang Zheng frowned and stared at the scene in front of him. Outside the town, a three- or four-meter-high fence blocked the intruders. But the invaders did not give up their attack because of this, they were a group of black wolves as huge as war horses, numbering more than a hundred. These black wolves were circling outside the walls, banging frantically against the gates, and even black wolves spat out flames and sprayed them on the walls.
Warcraft?
Of course, Fang Zheng knew that there were Warcraft in this world, and there were quite a few of them. He didn't care about these before, but since he learned that the spirit crystal could be used to recharge, he had already secretly been interested in the demonic beast. But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that he would actually see such a group of demonic beasts here?!
Under the attack of this group of demonic beasts, the town was obviously a little unable to resist. Fang Zheng saw those militiamen shooting arrows or throwing spears at the black wolf above the wall, but these attacks had no effect at all, the fur on the black wolf's body was as thick as armor, and those arrows and spears slipped directly on the opponent's body, not posing any threat at all.
If it weren't for the fact that these people put a lot of stones at the gate to block the door, then I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to support it now.
But that's just for now.
In the face of the black wolf's attack, this town can no longer support it, and it is about to be completely broken through the defense line, and Fang Zheng can certainly guess what will happen to this beautiful town once this group of black wolves breaks through the defense line.
But......... For Founder, that's not a problem.
Although he has done countless experiments, actual combat is always the best way to test, isn't it? What's more, these black wolves are demonic beasts.........
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng's eyes when he looked at those black wolves were almost the same as looking at a bunch of small money that could walk.
It's time to recharge Krypton!!
