Chapter 15: Shields? Wrong! It's a mecha!
"Insect Shield Lv1": Use magic to condense the bugs into a shield, which can defend against all attacks, the shield HP is the sum of the HP of the bugs in the shield, the shape of the shield can be changed, duration: 30 minutes; Mana Cost: 1 point/100 pcs, Cooldown: 10 minutes
According to the description of the system, it is to use magic to condense the insect shield, Caleb directly summoned 100 acid eaters, and without specifying a specific shape, let it form automatically, and see how the shape of the insect shield is.
"Insect Shield"
The magic flowed from Caleb's body, and in the blink of an eye, the insects gathered around Caleb as if they were being pulled, and a pale blue film was formed, connecting the insects together, and a 360-degree shield with no dead ends was formed.
Caleb looked at the insect shield wrapped around him, almost the distance between his hands, he reached out and touched it, he was able to touch the entity, and used a worm bullet on the insect shield, but it was stopped, Caleb was a little dissatisfied.
"The shape is round without an order, and it's okay, but it doesn't meet my expectations."
According to Caleb's original expectations, this insect shield should at least be able to hit from the inside to the outside, so that he can also output the insect shield head-on, but this is a shield that can be defended on both sides, and it can't attack if you stand inside, this is not good, isn't this just a simple defensive skill.
"Can't you attack with a worm shield.....
Caleb checked the acid eater in the shield, and there was no change except that it was locked in the shield, and tried to manipulate the bug, seeing it crawling around in the shield.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and Caleb looked at the crawling insect and thought of something.
"No, no, no, no.... I'm sure there's something missing, the characteristic of the insect shield is not defense at all, but deformation...."
Caleb was amazed by his own inspiration, and if it did come true, it would be too operable.
He began to try, it was very easy to manipulate the shield transformation, just control it with his mind, and he made a hole in the shield to let the acid phage show its head.
"Acid Archery"
Caleb tried to order the worm with its head out to attack, but he didn't know if it would succeed, but since he could move freely, he should be able to attack or something.
Sure enough, although the head was not good or something, the insect really spit out an acid arrow, and the speed of the arrow was extremely fast, piercing 3 trees, directly melting the main trunk of a tree into a large hole of nearly 15 centimeters.
Seeing that the skill was really released, Caleb couldn't help but smile excitedly, couldn't help cheering, and said narcissistically:
"I'm amazing! It's me, and it's up to me to use and develop skills.
The use of wisdom is not as simple as the description of the system.
Since the acid arrow can be used, then... I don't know if it's feasible, hehehehehe....."
Caleb is eyeing Xiao Hei's other skill, Wave Jet Flight + Insect Shield, can transform, can fly, can attack, high defense, hehehe......
What is this, isn't this mechanical armor!
Thinking of this, a flash of fire appeared in Caleb's eyes, and other skills can not be studied first, this must be the highest priority.
"This is a man's dream, and I must study it anyway."
Just do it, although Caleb doesn't know any mecha design at all, but this doesn't affect his interest at all, and directly disbands the current shield, 100 is too little, Caleb directly releases 1000.
Speaking of mechas, then the movies and anime in his previous life also have a lot of references, although he has forgotten a lot, but he also remembers some classic shapes, like what Iron Man, Gundam and the like.
There are many references to these images, and after some tinkering, Caleb made the first mecha to come out.
Simple full-body wrap design, round and bald, without any edges and corners on the surface, this is to directly shrink the circular shield into a tight-fitting model, since you want to fly there must be a jet port, Caleb also borrowed it, put the jet port in the palm of the hand and the palm of the foot, the hands and feet add up to almost 20.
Caleb tried to move the joints on his body, there was no problem, the movement was smooth, Caleb made a special design on the joints and face, there were no bugs and only a transparent blue shield.
"Hahaha, the first generation of insect mechs is complete!
Let's start the test flight now! β
Because there is no way to flap its wings in the shield, all the power comes from the magic jet of the acid phant, and to be honest, Caleb is also a little worried about whether this can really fly.
Shooting out magic from the location of the vent, Caleb felt his body lighten a little and slowly floated.
"It's taken off! Take off! β
Although it was slow, Caleb did fly.
Caleb tried to move, but landed headlong on the ground.
"Oops! There are too few insects sprayed in the palms and soles of the feet, and it is difficult to maintain balance in the palms and soles of the feet, so the spray port needs to be repositioned. β
Caleb's bugs weren't a reactor and couldn't fly with just a few tiny jets, and he felt it should be changed.
Over the next few hours, Caleb made the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations......
Five hours later, a black shadow trailing the afterimage streaked across the sky, and a giant blue bee landed in the clearing, the bee's back was opened, and a figure crawled out of it.
"This is the 36th generation of insect mechas....."
Caleb swallowed the magic potion with nausea and looked at the 36th generation in front of him, which had been modified many times.
It looks like a bee as a whole, and the tail part becomes a large spout.
The number of bugs has reached 5,000, there are 300 jets in the whole body, 30 are adjusted to balance, 270 tail power, the endurance is very high, enough to keep it for 30 minutes, only half of the bugs can move very quickly, and Caleb can't even see it clearly when flying at full strength, which is supposed to be a very perfect state.
But Caleb looked at this appearance with a little disgust, the mecha he wanted was not in the form of a bug.
"It's all changed beyond recognition, it's not handsome at all, and it consumes a lot of mana, it takes 50 points of mana, and I feel like the research has entered a fork in the road, and this one has to be overturned and redone....."
Caleb decided to overturn the redo, and he disbanded the 36th generation.
"At least it's not useless, in the 36th generation, I have already mastered the art of flying, and the next thing is to make humanoid armor."
The 37th generation began to be produced, and the bloated jet Caleb of the 36th generation was disassembled and changed from the butt to the back, six rows of jets, 20 in each row, a total of 120, which can be moved freely, and the shape does not need to be too big, after all, it is just personal armor, and it is too inconvenient to move.
Part of it is placed between the buttocks and the waist, and 20 jets are set on each side of the body, which are used for body balance adjustment and suspension, and the number has been tested, and this number is just right, and the power is enough.
Other parts, a total of 6 shoulders on both sides, a total of 20 legs, a total of 166 jets throughout the body, nearly 1 and a half less than the 36th generation, after all, the speed is too fast Caleb can't see clearly, and there is no need to worry about battery life, the replacement of bugs is very convenient.
Although Caleb likes to summon bugs from his arms, he can summon them from any part of his body.
A simple rough embryo was done, and Caleb tried to fly, and there was no problem at all.
"Good! Half the success, the next is the most critical question, how to design the armor shape to be more handsome. β
This is a very important issue, Caleb decided to abandon the original full-body mecha and change to a detached one, focusing the bugs on the chest, shoulders, hands, feet and back, so that their heads and tails are connected to form some edges and corners, and with the current blue hue of the acid eater, it becomes a very high-tech crystal mecha.
Elsewhere, a transparent magic film is used to connect, which guarantees both defense and aesthetics.
And then there's the weapon.,Since it's a mecha, of course there's a weapon.,The first thing that comes to mind is definitely the lightsaber.,This has been researched before.γ
Blackie's jet wave flight skill can be divided into two parts, the aperture of the light wing and the tail, the light wing was originally used to assist in flight, but the jet port does not need the assistance of wings, so in the transformation of generations, the acid phage has successfully become a state that can only use the aperture.
And the light wings have also become the idea of Caleb's lightsaber, after all, the light wings are very sharp, so that the acid devouring insects are connected end to end, with the body of the insect as the ridge, the two wings as the blade, and then covered with a magic shield, a blue lightsaber is ready.
If you don't look closely, you can't find that it's made by insects, and this lightsaber is essentially an acid devouring insect attacking, so it will trigger the power of armor piercing, and it is a very exceptional existence.
Then there is the missile necessary for the mecha, Caleb decided to directly use the combination of acid phagome and glowworm, let the acid eater fly quickly with the glowworm, and when he approached the target, he directly took the glowworm into the body and exploded.
As long as it is an existence that is slower than the acid phago, this is almost a mortal attack, and with Caleb's sneak attack skill, who else! Caleb just wanted to say a word, who else!
Finally, the new mecha has taken shape, using only 1,500 acid phagogens, the shape is perfect and cool, the flight is flexible, the speed is extremely fast, the attack power is powerful, the endurance is strong, and the defense is high, it is simply a perfect mecha.
"It's so handsome! It's so handsome! β
Caleb couldn't believe that he had actually created a mecha, although this was not a mechanical mecha, but an insect mecha with magic and creatures, but as long as it was handsome, it was great.
"System, can you record this pattern?"
Dingββ
"Changed the description of the effect of the Insect Shield skill, added unnamed forms"
Unnamed form: A shield form independently developed by the user, with attack ability, super high power judgment, and mana consumption: 15 points
"Hmm.... The name is Aquamarine-37, and the acid phagogue is like a blue gem, and it is the 37th generation, so it's called this. β
Now that he had completed the mecha, Caleb felt that he had to take a good test flight, and tapped his finger on his face to form an inverted triangle of goggles, only to see him squat, his back and waist glowing with blue light, and the next moment he flew into the sky.
Phew-
A meteor glowing with blue light soared into the sky, and as the altitude rose, Caleb opened his hands in pleasure, and he passed through the thick clouds, and his eyes were a sea of white sky, pure sky blue, dazzling sun, vast sea of clouds, this is the scenery that belongs to Caleb alone.
Just try the last skill, Hotaru's self-detonation skill "Firefly", the explosion should produce a loud sound, and it would be bad if it attracted a demon wolf on the ground.
Ten glowworms are summoned out, and Caleb lets them fly a little farther away, which feels like he is playing with firecrackers.
"Firefly Fire"
A glowworm exploded on its own, and its body instantly turned into a red color close to black, flashing with red light.
boomββ
With a muffled sound, the glowworm turned into a fireball, accompanied by the shockwave of the explosion, the range of this fireball seemed to be about 1 meter, and the shockwave was 2 meters.
"The effect of just looking at a bug is already great, after all, the red firefly is only 10 centimeters in range."
One is enough, there is no need to test too much, Caleb can't think of any sassy operation with the self-detonation energy for the time being, after all, it is only a moment, and there is no more way to use it for the time being.
It's used to make blasting reactive armor or something, and the small Hotaru explosion can't control the direction, it's a round spherical shape, and the power seems to be a bit big, Caleb is afraid of blowing himself up.
"Let's just be an ordinary output skill first, I can't think of any use."
After recovering the remaining glowworms, Caleb began to land, now that the test has been completed, Caleb has to return to the city as soon as possible, and it is now more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Caleb, who was still in the air, suddenly received a message.
"Huh? Something unusual, white bone man? β
The white bone man, the description of an insect translated into something difficult for Caleb to understand.
Connecting the sour devours with the news coming from him, Caleb finally understood, and he saw thousands of skeleton soldiers, densely hidden in the woods.
"It's necromancy... In other words, the Corpse Soul Sect made the ghost, good guy, I just killed a few of you minions, and you are going to slaughter the city, right? β
Since Caleb knew what kind of Corpse Soul Sect Twelve Soul Pillar Ma Lan's subordinates he had killed, he specially investigated the Corpse Soul Sect and found that it was a sect composed of necromancers, and all members were necromancers.
And the necromancer was resisted by the whole continent because of his wanton magic of playing with the soul, so the Corpse Soul Sect is also a famous cult in the whole continent.
The Sea of Bones is a common attack for necromancers, and what they are best at is fighting more with less, as long as they are given time, it is possible to take a city alone.
Caleb wanted to test the skeleton's strength, and he drove an acid eater to attack, and the skeleton seemed to be defenseless against a small insect, easily letting the acid eater land on its head.
I saw that the acid phagogue bit the skeleton's head, and the acid flowed out, directly corroding the skeleton's heavenly spirit cover, and after a while, the skeleton scattered into a pile of white bones and slowly disappeared.
Dingββ
"Kill a 'Skeleton' and gain +0 experience"
Not even experience.
Seeing this scene, Caleb also breathed a sigh of relief, the strength of the skeleton was not too strong, after all, the acid phagogue that attacked it was only an acid phagogue with a level 5 attribute full state, and the strength of a skeleton was not as good as that of an ordinary adult.
"But this number is too exaggerated, if you add the demon wolf, I don't know if Grey Wood City can still hold it......"
Caleb fell to the ground, put away the worm beetle, and thought about what to do, now he felt that his reserves might not be enough.
"You have to go back as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with them, and it's good to investigate in advance, otherwise there will be no preparation at that time."
