Chapter Ninety-Six: Rune Evolution

Gushu City.

Bai Qijia.

Uncharted.

A dozen skeleton soldiers were neatly arranged in a row, motionless, only the constant beating soul fire in their eye sockets proved that they were not sculptures.

"It's no wonder that the Federation attaches more importance to the undead natural disasters than other disasters, the suppression effect of this high-level undead on the low-level undead is really too big."

Looking at the skeleton soldiers who were as well-behaved as little white rabbits under the Alpha Deterrence skill, Bai Qi could be regarded as having officially understood the stark class gap between undead creatures.

"Fortunately, Alpha comprehended deterrence before fighting Zhang Kai, otherwise he might not be the opponent of the deadly tyrannical ape."

Bai Qi was a little lucky, then put on his rune glasses and walked towards the first skeleton soldier with a rune carving knife.

"Shuke, you're in charge of counting the experimental data, Alpha, remember to suppress these guys."

On the day he returned to Gushu City, Chairman Qin sent fifteen skeleton soldiers and asked Bai Qi to toss them first, and Bai Qi was also happy to have free experiments, so he unceremoniously accepted them all.

"So, let's try the first set of runes first."

Bai Qi pushed his glasses, picked up the carving knife and carved it on the body of a skeleton soldier.

Compared to Chi Yan Tie, the skeleton soldier's bones were obviously much more fragile, and Bai Qi barely felt much resistance.

However, Bai Qi also noticed that when he was carving with the carving knife, his spiritual power unconsciously flowed into the runes along the carving knife.

"In addition to the energy of the pet beast, can the spiritual power of the beast master also be used as an energy source?"

Bai Qi faintly guessed, but because of such a distraction, the movements in his hands were a little heavier, and the runes that had been drawn to the general were completely scrapped.

Sure enough, carving runes is a meticulous job, and it is only Alpha who has no distractions to be able to soak in carving there all day.

Bai Qi exhaled and calmed down to re-carve.

This time, there were no more problems, and a brand-new rune quickly took shape in Bai Qi's hand.

"Mmmm, flowing clouds and water, with the style of a master."

Looking at the first work in his hand, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction.

"General Rune: Hardening, Similarity: Sixty-seven percent, Beast Master, you still need to work hard."

Just when Bai Qi was satisfied, Shu Ke's cold electronic voice suddenly sounded, directly pulling Bai Qi back to reality.

"Tsk...... Mechanical life is not good at this, not sensible enough. ”

Bai Qi smacked his mouth, glared at Shu Ke with some disgust, and then looked at Alpha and said, "Alpha, let it guide the energy to activate the rune." ”

Rata la rat.

(Okay.) )

Alpha nodded, walked in front of the skeleton soldier, the soul fire in his eyes flashed, the skeleton soldier just shook his head, looked at the rune on his arm with some confusion, and then did not make the next move.

Rata la rat.

(Master, it doesn't seem to understand your commands.) )

Bai Qi was silent when he heard this, the wisdom of this skeleton soldier was too low, and he couldn't even guide his energy value?

Looking at it this way, Alpha is still quite witty.

It's just that I'm usually a little stuffy.

"Forget it, Alpha will activate it."

Bai Qi sighed helplessly, stepped aside and let Alpha activate instead.

Alpha nodded, grabbed the skeleton soldier's arm, and carefully injected a wisp of energy, the hardened runes suddenly lit up, and a faint light slowly shrouded the skeleton soldier's arm.

This is almost exactly the same as the Pet Beast's hardening skill.

"Shuk, test the effect of hardening, and record the duration of the sclero?"

Bai Qi let Alpha release the energy transfer, and at the same time let Shu Ke step forward, and after a burst of knocking, Shu Ke quickly gave feedback.

"The effect is basically similar to that of the hardening skill, but the strength is very low, and if the beast master can achieve 100% similarity, it should be able to increase to the effect of entry proficiency."

Beginner proficiency?

Bai Qi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, hardening is a general skill, many pet beasts can be mastered through training, only the entry proficiency effect is a bit chicken.

"Forget it, at least prove that runes can be popularized on skeletal creatures."

Bai Qi comforted himself, and then began to try the second rune.

This time, in order to avoid the previous embarrassing scene, Bai Qi contacted the wooden board several times in advance, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he start writing.

"Shadow Rune: Hidden, eighty-nine percent similarity, extremely high similarity, congratulations to the Beast Master."

Hearing Shuke's praise, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, and then motioned for Alpha to step forward again to activate.

Bang!

At the moment when Alpha injected his energy into the hidden rune, the skeleton soldier's whole body bones immediately cracked, and then directly exploded into countless pieces.

Rata la rat.

(Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.) )

Seeing the skeleton soldier explode in his hands, Alpha immediately lowered his head and apologized to Bai Qi with some grievances.

"It's okay, there should be something wrong somewhere else."

Alpha's control of energy is not bad with accuracy, and there will be no excessive energy value, and the so-called problem should be in the runes.

Bai Qi patted Alpha's head, looked at the fragments all over the ground and pondered for a moment, then came to another skeleton soldier and carved a hidden rune again.

"Alpha, you try again."

Alpha nodded, carefully pouring energy into the skeleton.

This time, the skeleton didn't explode again, and its form slowly merged with the surrounding shadows.

It's not a matter of the properties of the runes themselves, it's only a matter of the number of runes.

Bai Qi took out the carving knife and carved hardened runes on the second skeleton again, and then let the alpha activate.

Sure enough, the skeleton soldier exploded into pieces.

"Can you only withstand one rune? No, it should only be able to withstand one type of rune at the same time, and it should also be related to the level. ”

Alpha had already used many runes in actual combat before, and the battle with Gushan was even engraved with blasting runes on the four white bone cages, if it was just a simple number limit, Alpha would have exploded a long time ago.

However, in this way, Alpha will also need to pay attention when using runes in the future.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi once again summoned two skeleton soldiers to try, and the result was the same as he expected, the skeleton soldiers could only withstand one rune, and after more than one, they would cause unbearable damage to themselves.

However, if the growth level and bloodline level are increased, you should be able to increase the amount you can bear, and Alpha is the best proof of this.

"Finally, I found something, but this consumption is a bit large."

The four skeleton soldiers were used up in ten minutes, and Bai Qi seriously suspected that these skeleton soldiers would not be able to hold out for lunch.

"Let's try to see if the runes of other attributes can take effect."

Looking at the remaining eleven skeleton soldiers, Bai Qi temporarily put aside the attempt at shadow runes and began to turn to runes of other attributes.

"Let's try the ice attribute rune first."

Bai Qi selected among the runes provided by the Rune Cube, and finally chose a relatively simple ice rune: low temperature.

This rune Bai Qi has tried, it can reduce the temperature within a certain range, and as for the effect, it can barely be used as an air conditioner.

After carving several runes in a row, Bai Qi obviously touched the doorway, and the speed and quality of the carving were obviously improved a lot, and soon carved the ice runes on all positions of the skeleton soldiers.

"Alpha, try this time to see what the skeleton soldier's tolerance limit is."

Alpha nodded, and the azure ice energy spread down his fingers to the skeleton soldier, lighting up the first rune, then the second, then the third......

Soon, the runes on the skeleton soldier's body were lit up, and a cold air began to escape from the originally ordinary skeleton soldier.

It's done!

Seeing that the skeleton soldier had successfully demonstrated the ability of the ice attribute, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction.

Originally, he was worried that the skeleton soldiers would not be able to activate the ice runes without an ice-based ability like Alpha, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

Rata la rat.

(Master, this skeleton seems to be actively absorbing my energy, should I interrupt?) )

Just as Bai Qi was about to try further high-grade ice runes, a message suddenly came from Alpha.

"Actively absorbing your energy? Will this thing backfire? ”

Bai Qi frowned slightly, and was about to ask Alpha to stop the energy supply, but Shu Ke suddenly spoke out to stop him.

"The energy of the skeleton soldiers is very stable, and it seems to be undergoing some kind of change, I suggest that the beast master should wait and see."

Shuke's mental power swept over the skeleton soldier, and he immediately grasped the situation of the skeleton soldier, and then dropped a map of the skeleton soldier's energy value change in the air.

"The equipment on my body is still too rudimentary to monitor more detailed data, I suggest that the beast master hurry up and buy materials, I need to upgrade it well."

"Oh......"

Bai Qi nodded a little blankly, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Who is the beast master......

Soon, the skeleton soldier stopped absorbing the alpha energy, and a stream of ice-blue energy slowly seeped out from the rune, gradually covering the skeleton soldier's body, and the temperature around the skeleton soldier also dropped rapidly.

If it was just a refrigerator fresh-keeping layer before, now it should be a freezer layer.

Click.

The frost dissipated, revealing the skeleton soldier's figure, but instead of the miserable white it used to be, it turned a faint blue, and the runes carved before were gone.

Looking at the skeleton soldier in front of him who was constantly spitting cold air, Bai Qi was a little surprised, and Shu Ke also gave the skeleton soldier's current data in a timely manner.

[Name]: Ice bone

[Attributes]: Ice, undead

[Bloodline Level]: Medium minion

[Introduction]: An undead born in frost, and its attack can be inflicted with freezing power.

"Is this, evolved?"

Seeing the data given by Shu Ke, Bai Qi couldn't help but exclaim.

Runes can actually promote the evolution of skeleton soldiers?
