Chapter 17: Dark Thunder and Fighting Spirit
At the end of the second round of thunderstorms, Li Mo was blown up into a humanoid skeleton with a bright and dangling long knife, like the lowest-level skeleton warrior summoned by the necromancer's apprentice.
But unlike the skeletal warriors who walked staggeringly and had patchwork skeletons, this skeleton was pitch black and sleek, and its bones were painted with elaborate magic arrays of different sizes. The center of all magic circles is exactly the same strange pattern, which is like the identity symbol marked on the work by the magic circle craftsmen.
The forehead of the hole is inlaid with a diamond-shaped ink crystal the size of a fingernail, and it breathes black light like breathing. These released black rays turned into tens of millions of black streamers, flowing along the lines of the magic array on the skull to other parts.
When the streamer illuminates all the magic arrays on the bones, the flesh and blood are born at a speed visible to the naked eye, attaching to the bones.
But the third wave of thunderstorms that will soon arrive will scorch the ** that has not yet been fully repaired again and blast it into flying ashes. The black bones were unexpectedly hard, undamaged by the torrent of thunder and lightning.
The diamond-shaped ink crystal seemed to be stimulated, and the black light released again was much more condensed than before, and thousands of streamers activated the magic array again at a faster speed, regenerating flesh and blood.
However, a few seconds later, it was once again washed away by the lightning waterfall that fell head-on.
When this process was repeated more than a dozen times, the diamond-shaped hedron increased its light again, and the regenerated flesh and blood body was able to withstand the second round of lightning bombardment, enough to transmit pain to the nerves of the brain before the body collapsed.
Stimulated by the huge pain, Li Mo gradually sobered up, and after understanding the current situation, he did not hesitate to run the Canglei Douqi, and according to the requirements of the mental method, he collected the power of thunder and lightning raging in his body little by little, and stored it in the lower abdomen.
But the reborn body was still not strong enough, and after resisting five rounds of thunderstorm bombardment, it was once again wiped out. The power of thunder and lightning that Li Mo had worked so hard to store was also destroyed.
After a few seconds, the new body reformed. After the first thunderbolt bombardment, Li Mo woke up in pain, repeated the previous actions, and began to absorb the power of thunder and lightning.
But a minute later, the flesh was destroyed again.
After repeating this more than thirty times, the diamond-shaped ink crystal on Li Mo's forehead was only the size of a grain of rice, but the light it released had already enveloped his whole body, like a round of black sun. When the thunderbolt entered the range of the black mang, half of its power was suppressed. And the remaining half of the power no longer poses a threat to Li Mo.
At this time, Li Mo's eyes were shining like stars, his skin was glowing with a strange metallic luster, and his muscles were slightly bulging with explosive power.
When the dense lightning fell, most of them were ejected when they touched his skin, and a small part of them were controlled and absorbed by the muscles and transported to the lower abdomen, unable to hurt the internal organs at all.
Now, after more than thirty thunderstorm baptisms, Li Mo has finally evolved a thunder and lightning immunity body, and no matter how violent the thunderstorm is, he can only be injured by flesh and skin, and cannot destroy him. In this way, he can absorb the power of thunder and lightning with peace of mind and build a Douqi Altar.
Li Mo patiently collected the power of thunder and lightning in his body, and when he felt that the speed of collecting thunder and lightning was too slow, he reduced the skin's resistance to thunder and lightning, so that more lightning could enter his body.
Although this caused great suffering, it was more than three times more efficient.
As for pain, it is something that the residents of Black Mist City have learned to endure since childhood. Suffering will accompany them throughout their lives, from birth to death.
More and more of the power of thunder and lightning condensed in the lower abdomen, forming a fist-sized cloud of thunder-colored mist. After another moment, the thunder mist condensed into a mass of liquid of the same size. If you look at it with your divine sense, you will find that this liquid is actually a raging and surging sea of thunder, which is ups and downs, constantly setting off thousands of huge waves.
Whenever the huge wave rises to the highest point, Li Mo will give birth to an indulgent release, the urge to shout, and the passionate and confident emotions make him have the illusion that the world is in his hands.
But he remembered the reminder of the ball of light, so he forcibly suppressed the feeling of almost exploding with his reason, and continued to absorb and store the power of thunder and lightning.
As time passed, the density of the thunder and lightning liquid condensed in Li Mo's lower abdomen became more and more dense, and the urge to release it became stronger and stronger, and when this emotion reached its peak, his mind even derived hallucinations on its own.
He was like being in a thunder and lightning paradise, with the thunder and lightning continent at his feet, surrounded by a floating thunder sea, and hundreds of thunder and lightning spirits scattered flowers around him, each flower was condensed by thunder and lightning of different colors. A thunder dragon surrounded by electric beams emerged from the thunderclouds above and paid tribute to him, and countless thunderbolt creatures worshipped him and asked him to become king.
Li Mo stared at the throne that appeared out of thin air, and various emotions flashed in his eyes, some were intoxicated and obsessed, some were intentional, some were wild and uninhibited, and some were arrogant and ruthless. But when these emotions flashed through them, the worshipping creatures found that their king had not moved a single step.
They looked up in astonishment, only to see that the king's eyes were filled with deep calm except for the thunder and lightning that flashed from time to time. Quietly looking at the huge throne condensed by thunder and lightning, he was indifferent.
As if he never cared, as if he already had.
In the next second, in Li Mo's eyes, the reflected thunder and lightning heaven shattered. And he also felt as if he had received some kind of blow, and his body, which had never been moving, shook slightly.
At this time, the power of the thunder and lightning that gathered in the lower abdomen finally changed again, and the mass of thunder and lightning liquid gradually solidified and contracted, turning into a solid the size of a pigeon's egg.
"Boy, it's almost over, if you continue to practice, your partner will be killed. The sound of a ball of light reminding rang out at the right time.
When Li Mo heard this, he no longer hesitated, and according to the description of the Canglei Douqi Heart Method, he made contact with the solid thunder and lightning in his abdomen.
The moment his divine consciousness touched the solid thunder and lightning, he lost consciousness with a bang.
Awake again, he appeared in a strange dark space, and in front of him, there was a thunderbolt sphere with a diameter of 100 meters. Most of the lightning creatures that are constantly evolving on the lightning sphere in various shapes are unknown.
This is the vindictive space.
After Li Mo quietly observed the thunder and lightning sphere, he gathered his mind and directed the thunderball to slowly change its shape according to the thunder fighting spirit.
Under Li Mo's control, the thunderball first changed from an original to an ellipse, and then evolved from an ellipse to an oblate circle. Due to the dense texture of the thunderball, the thunderball can no longer be compressed and flattened after it becomes flattened.
Li Mo was a little surprised, there was no explanation for this phenomenon in the Canglei Douqi Cheats, but it did not prevent him from taking the next step.
He continued to change the shape of the flat thunderball, the edge of the thunderball evolved into thirteen steps, and the middle area raised a circular plateau, and at the edge of the circular plateau, thirteen thunder and lightning totem poles rose from the ground, and the Douqi Altar was beginning to take shape.
The next step is to stimulate vindictiveness.
The body of the totem pole is carved with intricate and profound textures, and when Li Mo finished painting these textures in a similar way, a columnar thunderbolt shot out from the center of the circular high ground.
In the next second, thousands of thunderbolts tore through the dark sky and smashed down.
These lightning bolts continued to bombard the altar, and all the energy was absorbed by the altar, and the texture of the Douqi Totem Pole was the first to be lit up, followed by the pattern on the edge of the Douqi Altar, when the thirteen steps were carved with lightning and wonderful textures, the top of the thirteen Douqi Totem Poles suddenly shot out dazzling golden thunderbolts, connected with each other, and shot out a golden thunderbolt together to converge in the sky above the central area.
The thunderbolts from the outside world fell again, but they were intercepted and absorbed by thirteen golden thunderbolts. Immediately, petal-shaped esoteric runes spilled from the center of the golden thunderbolt and fell on the circular altar one by one. With the fusion of nearly a hundred golden esoteric runes, seven half-meter-long columns sprung up on the circular altar, and above the columns, a heavy book of thunder and lightning was supported.
The appearance of books means that the altar of vindictive spirit is about to be completed.
Li Mo showed a satisfied smile, and was about to take action, not wanting to change and protrude.
The diamond-shaped ink crystals that had been embedded in his forehead suddenly shattered into pitch-black runes, these runes were different from petal-shaped thunder and lightning runes, more like tadpole characters, and entered Li Mo's fighting space with the crazy influx of thunder and lightning.
After the black tadpole rune came into contact with the golden thunderbolt, the golden thunder and lightning that was about to be withdrawn suddenly slammed and seemed to be disturbed. The black tadpole rune quickly blended into it, but the golden thunder and lightning also turned into black lightning at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And once again, it was up and running.
"It'sβ"
Rao is Li Mo has always been in a good state of mind, and he can no longer remain calm at this time.
Then, the black thunderbolt continued to spill runes that looked like flower petals and tadpoles, and when there were as many as fifty of these runes, they landed behind the altar, and in addition to the seven small columns, an eighth cylinder was born independently.
This cylinder was larger than the other seven columns, a meter high, and the black books on it were also different from the books on the seven cylinders, and the moment it was formed, it was directly opened.
At the same time, a passage came to Li Mo's mind: only devout believers can obtain the gift of the demon god Baal, so as to activate Baal's magic book, obey Baal's call, dedicate his whole body to Baal, become a weapon in Baal's hands, kill Baal's enemies, and show the world Baal's power. You can choose one of the following three skills as Baal's reward for newcomers.
1. Dark Antibody: The glory of the Baal Demon God protects his followers, and any action that harms Baal's followers will be regarded as a provocation to Baal, and will be retaliated by Baal's thunder. When selected, it grants 20% Dark Magic Resistance and has a chance to reflect malicious Dark Magic. (Upgradeable)
2. Devouring life. The divine might of the Demon God of Baal is terrifying, and all enemies who raise their swords at Baal will surely pay the price for challenging Baal with their lives and blood. After selecting this ability, the user will continue to absorb a small amount of life from the enemy for 10 minutes after dealing damage to the enemy, replenishing himself. (Upgradeable)
3. The illusion of evil. When faced alone with an overwhelming enemy, the Baal Demon Face will replicate an illusion of himself to turn the tide. Consuming one-third of the body's Dou Qi can replicate an evil illusion, which has all the user's skills and is only one-tenth of the user's strength. (Upgradeable)
Li Mo held his chin and thought about the content in his mind, he was not concerned about which of these three skills was superior or inferior. It's how this thing came about.
You know, the abnormal must be a demon.
Today was the first time he had heard the name of the Baal Demon God, and it was even more nonsense to become a believer in the Baal Demon God.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is no pie in the sky. The inhabitants of Black Mist City have never hoped for a miracle to change the status quo. All miracles are made with 99 percent sweat and 1 percent luck.
Only by working hard can you get what you want. In the same way, when you get a windfall, it will mean that you will have to pay the same price. Or maybe the price was paid a long time ago, you just don't know it.
However, when Li Mo realized that in the future, he would inevitably have some connection with this name, he no longer hesitated and decisively chose the skill of evil illusion.
Since you can't refuse, just accept it.
As this fades away, a new message emerges: offering enough souls to Baal can escalate the illusion of evil.
Li Mo directly ignored it.
His gaze fell on the first short pillar on the Dou Qi Altar, which was different from the silent books on the other six identical short pillars, which emitted a bright golden light.
This is the scene described in the secret book of Cang Lei's fighting spirit.
Li Mo used his divine sense to slowly open the golden book, and a new skill came to mind: Thunder Prison, centered on himself, unleashed nine thunderbolts.
This is the skill that Cang Lei should have, and the introduction is concise and clear, unlike the three skills that are obviously narcissistic just now.
The remaining six silent books also contain a skill, and these books will be opened with a certain probability when Li Mo increases his Dou Qi level.
And the construction of the Douqi Altar was officially completed when the first golden book was opened.
In the stone room, Li Mo slowly opened his eyes.
"How's it going, did it work?"
The ball of light immediately lifted the lightning and jumped forward to ask.
Li Mo smiled slightly, raised his right hand and stretched out his fingers, snapping his fingers in front of the ball of light, only to hear a crackling, a black lightning bolt jumped out from between his two fingers, jumping between his five fingers like an elf.
"Well, yes, the control ability of Dou Qi is also very good. The light ball commented with satisfaction, and then continued, "However, your thunder attribute fighting qi should no longer be called the blue thunder fighting qi, it should become the dark thunder fighting qi." β
It didn't seem surprised by the mutation that had taken place in the Thunder Fighting Qi.
Li Mo frowned and asked, "How are my two partners?"
"It's worse, I hope you can save the day. The ball of light said.
"Get me out. Li Mo put the travel bag next to him on his back and said without hesitation.
The ball of light responded, jumped high, and fell into Li Mo's backpack.
"What are you doingβ" Before Li Mo could finish asking, it was dark in front of him, and he appeared directly on the top of Archibald Mountain.
"Who?"
"It's the missing boy. β
"Uncle?"
"Lee, be careful!"
