Chapter 359 Crystal Breaker
"Master, I've bought a lot of things."
After a few days, the little Lori in black finally flew back.
I thought that the owner would praise him, but what I saw was a more haggard Xia.
"Can't find ...... Why can't I find it? β
She sat on the ground with her head bowed, repeating the phrase all the time.
Her long silver hair had fallen to the ground, stained with mud, but she didn't notice it, just whispered there.
During this time, the undead created by Fernanxi have turned the entire Rauma Plain upside down, and have not found any clues about Natia Vida.
"All the undead who entered the Soul Flayer Canyon have lost contact."
The lich counted the number of undead and came to a not-so-good conclusion.
For low- and mid-tier undead, the Lich has a talent called "Undead Mastery", which can increase the number of controllable units without spending too much energy on it.
In the event that the soul fire is destroyed, the manipulated undead will send a warning signal to the owner, but this time there is no feedback.
"The Mind Flayer, also known as the Spirit Sucker, is one of the last things that the inhabitants of the underworld want to touch; This monster survives by sucking the brains of humanoids, and the dungeons of the dark elves and dwarves don't know how much they have destroyed. β
Fei Nanxi, who was a dwarf in his lifetime, knew a lot about the Mind Flayer, and he had even seen the scene of the terrifying tentacles eating his compatriots, and those who were hurt died in agony without exception; If unfortunate enough to be parasitized, then only cutting off their heads can stop the final mutation.
"As far as I know, the strength of this monster is not very strong, but the complex environment underground is suitable for them to hide, and the high-level Mind Flayer will have psychic spells, which often make adventurers suffer dark losses."
Sadonan has studied all kinds of monsters, but he has only been able to gain abilities for just over two years. I haven't had a chance to see this creature unique to the Shadows yet.
"The wolf girl's blue lightning has the function of spiritual defense, which should be able to resist the explosion of the heart; You should be fine, then only ...... remains."
The lich looked at the silver-haired girl sitting on the ground.
"Summer. Get up and get something to eat? β
Delia hugged Xia and said:
"I caught a rock snake today, and it tastes delicious."
ββ¦β¦ I don't want to eat. β
Natsu buried her head there. Answer in a low voice.
"Master, I bought a copy of your favorite roasted bamboo clip."
The black-clothed little Lori turned around, avoided the eyes of other people, took out a steaming bamboo tube in her skirt, and then flew in front of Xia and placed it in her hand like a treasure.
"Stephanie ......"
Xia weakly stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you so loudly the other day...... I'm really sorry. β
"Stephanie is blessed to have completed the task you gave me. ...... hosts"
The little Lori in black rubbed her chest.
"Partner, I have one thing to ask you."
The lich Fei Nanxi hesitated for a moment, but still asked out loud:
"Do you have a way to defend against psychic attacks? We may be going to an area infested by the Mind Flayer, and the Arcane Mage is responsible for other work, not to unleash the Arcane Barrier. β
"Yes, but I'm not sure what Cheng dΓΉ can defend against."
Xia put the little Lori in black on his back and helped Delia to stand up from the ground:
"While we haven't set off yet, let's take a moment."
Her psychic sense is arguably quite good, but it doesn't work very well in the face of the curse in the rainstorm, and her level has increased significantly lately. The resistance should also have increased a lot.
"Do you feel groggy?"
The lich hypnotized her.
"Nope."
She stood there steadily:
"It's easy...... Increase the strength tenfold and see. β
"Ten times more, the peak powerhouse of the mainland will also be difficult to resist, are you sure you want to do this."
The lich pointed the hand bone to her head.
"You're using hypnosis. It's a big deal to get some sleep, and I've been having insomnia lately. β
Natsu forced a smile.
Her face was pale, and there was no blood on her lips, and such a smile made people feel sorry for her.
"Buzz ......"
The lich had just activated his hypnotism when suddenly a sound came from the nearby underground.
"Magical resonance? I'll take a look. β
It floated to the pit in the ground, and looked down to see that the broken instrument was trembling slightly.
Because the hut at the entrance would hurt someone, they set up camp in the rubble, next to the device that once imprisoned the Dead-Eyed Tyrant. I didn't expect a strong hypnotic spell to make it move.
"The fragment of the vessel containing the liquid is a clear crystal with a magic channeling rate of over 131%, and the undead is also skilled in hypnotic spells. There are some spell factors left in the crystals over the past few hundred years, so they resonate with your magic. β
Sadonan's study of energy has long surpassed the level of ordinary magicians. It didn't take long to find out what the problem was.
"The structure of this crystal is special."
The lich manipulated a shattered crystal into its hand, knocking on the slightly haired surface:
"Although there can be a trace of magic in the magic guide material, this thing has been in contact with the undead breath for a long time, and it seems to have become a treasure that can store all kinds of energy."
It put the crystal in front of everyone's eyes:
"Look, I can observe a free gray substance with the naked eye inside, and the yellow light next to it should be the energy fluctuation of hypnosis, I have never seen such a strange material."
"Wait for me!"
Natsu suddenly jumped underneath.
After a few moments, her eyes leaped up with a blue glow, and a large yellow-glowing fragment of vessel was floating beside her.
"Click!"
She took the crystal from the lich's hand and crushed it with her hand.
"It seems that this crystal is weak to physical attacks, or the structure is embrittle."
She whispered to herself.
Then he looked up and asked the lich, "Fei Nanxi, if you were asked to attack this thing with divine power, could you destroy it?" β
"I'm afraid not."
The lich's hand bones shone with a golden glow, and they dotted the center of the crystal.
I saw a burst of dazzling light from the fragments. After about 1 minute, it slowly returned to its original state.
"The Harlem Empire has a long history, and there are many strong people in it who have broken through to the peak. What they make must have a considerable immunity to divine power, and I can't destroy it in this way. β
"Captain. What do you mean ......"
Sadonan seemed to understand what she meant.
"That's right,"
Xia's spirit was obviously much better, and he said with blazing eyes:
"It can be used to collect energy samples from the Black Calamity!"
"Stephanie, take out the drawings we saw last time in the store."
She gets a piece of fiber paper with various graphics and descriptions drawn on it from the black-clad Lori, which records a legacy of technology called the "Shatter Crystal Charger".
The charger resembles the racket of a vintage tennis ball, but instead of being flat, the top is an oval sphere filled with hedras that absorb energy. And there is a double layer of sturdy shell so that the absorbed energy cannot be leaked out.
"It's a very feasible approach."
Sadonan carefully looked at the drawings and expressed his opinion:
"But the process on this drawing is very complicated, and we lack the craftsmen and tools to make it."
Although he had some experience in alchemy, this high-precision instrument required the cooperation of a considerable level of alchemists and skilled craftsmen to complete it.
"I think this problem should be easy to solve."
Xia turned his head to look at the lich:
"Am I right? Dwarven forge masters? β
"Huh...... I'm not a master. β
Hearing her call, the lich's voice seemed pleasant:
"But it's still perfectly capable of being made, and in the eyes of the Khazad dwarves, it's just a more complicated toy...... Five days is enough for me. β
As for the alchemy aspect, there is no need to worry, every lich that can successfully transform is the best alchemy expert, otherwise it would not be possible to create the kind of magic device that can hold the soul.
A very critical problem was solved, and Xia's mood was somewhat better. She walked up to Delia's side and took her hand:
"Delia, where's your roasted rock snake? Let's eat together. β
"I've already eaten one. This one is reserved for you, come on, right behind that stone. β
The werewolf princess moved her ears happily and pulled her forward.
"And mineβand mine, master!"
The little Lori in black lifted the steaming bamboo tube high above her head.
"It's okay, just eat it together."
Natsu patted her on the head, took the bamboo tube in her hand and opened it, and the aroma of bamboo shoots and chicken came from inside.
"Ahh Woohoo......"
Probably because she had been hungry for a long time, she devoured the roasted bamboo clips. Then he was taken by Delia behind the rock pile.
"This is...... Rock snakes? β
Xia looked at the stone-gray giant snake the thickness of the python in front of him, and his voice trembled.
"Summer. You're a strong fighter now. β
The werewolf princess took the snake off and wagged her tail:
"It shouldn't be a problem to eat such a small snake, right?" She said with an innocent smile.
An hour later.
"The hosts. Woo......"
The little Lori in black took out a towel, soaked the water in the bucket next to her, and carefully covered her forehead for the master.
The silver-haired girl lay on the mat with her belly puffed out and moaned, and a string of smooth snake bones sat beside her.
"The Light of Transfer...... I don't know if it works in this case...... Vomit! β
She resisted the urge to vomit and covered her mouth.
"Huh?"
The golden light in the lich Fernanxi's eye sockets suddenly shrank, and he looked towards the entrance of the plain.
There was a dark shadow of a wooden one, slowly moving in this direction.
"This is the undead I sent to the Soul Flayer Canyon, I thought they had been wiped out, but I didn't expect one to come back."
The lich watched as the undead gradually approached this way, and suddenly floated into the air:
"No...... Ready for battle, it looks like the enemy is coming. β
It pulled out its usual staff, and knocked its bare teeth down:
"It doesn't have the spiritual imprint I left on it...... It should be something else. (To be continued) R466
