Chapter 126: Progressive Totem Technology and the Returning Traveler
The travelers drove the animals and the captives back first, ready to retreat into the mountains and jungles behind the valley.
Originally, they also planned to leave some members to go deeper north to find out more about the situation of this new civilization;
But in the face of unknown risks, the two squadron leaders decided to be conservative after discussion.
In the current situation, the highest priority is to bring the captives back without revealing their own traces as much as possible.
Therefore, they decided to harvest when they saw it, and not to make any more extraneous branches;
Even in order to prevent the traces left by the large herd of beasts from being exposed, on the way back from the valley, they asked the travelers to each pick up two or three hundred kilograms of animals, and then drove the four captives forward.
When a few days had passed, and the travelers had already burrowed back into the deep forest, the migrating group found that some herders who had gone out to graze were missing.
An erect person with a head of about 2.4 meters and a slender head who had no horns and looked like him could not wait for the return of his family members, so he went to his head to express his concerns.
The news was passed upwards and soon reached the ears of the chief.
When the tall chief heard the news, he immediately organized a force to investigate the pastoral area, but found only a few scattered traces, and no trace of the trolls that had been concealed.
The chieftain had no choice but to order, "Several families must work together when grazing the herds", and he was determined to speed up the construction of the walled city, intending to ensure the safety of the tribe.
This incident cast another shadow on the prospects of the tribe that had just settled down.
~~~~~~~~~~
At this moment, nearly two years have passed since the 'Troll Cell Exploration Project' was launched.
During this period, the research work has achieved remarkable results;
With the exception of individual projects such as the brain and spinal medulla, most of the project teams completed the pre-planned content.
The result, not only does the 'Troll Body Meditation Method' have a more solid foundation at the bottom of the architecture;
Through further understanding of the troll's body structure, the progress of magic totem technology has been promoted, from the original situation where each troll could only depict one totem to now accommodate three at the same time.
Because of the progress of this technology, the witch doctors of the 'Witch War Integration Committee' began to study the problem of totem matching, trying to make the soldiers and travelers have richer tactical applications.
The tribe's existing arsenal of spells is not rich enough, and the types of magical beasts that can be studied on a large scale are also limited.
The totem of the Far Traveler army must be based on lightness and exploration;
Therefore, in addition to the existing 'Listener' and 'Windranger' totems to be changed to full staff inscriptions, they also plan to turn 'Polarization' into a totem to add a layer of stealth protection for the Wanderers.
Soldiers, on the other hand, need to continue their studies in attack and defense, and in addition to the original 'Great Force', they can also continue to carry out the totemic process of 'brute force' and 'hard'.
With the blessing of ice crystal microscope and ultrasonic detection, the study of Warcraft no longer has to be as troublesome as when it was when it first studied wolves, and the project quickly achieved a breakthrough.
However, in the follow-up totem inscription link, the experimental results were not very ideal.
First of all, it is the effect of the two groups of totems of the brute force and the great force, and there is a very serious overlap....
Originally, the former could increase the strength by 20% and the latter by 30%, but after superimposing, the strength of the fighters did not rise to 50%, but stayed at a little more than 30%.
Secondly, unlike the decreasing stacking of power increases, the side effects of the spell are inherited in its entirety....
A Warrior who activates both Totems at the same time will have two debilitating effects that are not severe but become significant when stacked;
It takes them more time and more nutrients to get back to their original state.
Finally, when both totems are activated at the same time, the duration of their spell effects also decreases significantly....
Originally, the effect duration of the Great Force Totem was five minutes, and the duration of the Brute Force Totem was seven minutes;
However, under the superposition of the two phases, its action time is directly reduced to three minutes.
Under the negative effects of these and so on, this way of superimposing unilateral effects has been proven to be unable to give full play to the advantages of totems.
But this did not discourage the witch doctors, since this path did not work, then change the way of thinking, change the route of the 'all-round warrior', and push the attributes such as agility, defense, and accuracy up?
In fact, their subsequent research has also biased in this direction.
As a starting point, the Witch Doctors first experimented with the original combination of the "Great Force" and the "Windranger".
The result is better than the above, at least the magic effects of both are 100% preserved;
However, in terms of duration and debilitating punishment, the situation is still not ideal.
Bladetooth had an association with this, and he believed that the problem was still with the energy supply.
Although in the new system, witch doctors have the concept of 'magic';
But to put it bluntly, it's a more manipulative form of physical strength, and it doesn't give the Witch Doctors an extra exclusive 'mana pool' as they do in the game;
Not to mention the mysterious and mysterious effect of 'absorbing the aura of the outside world', which does not exist at all.
Even witch doctors cast spells, and warriors' totem spells cannot be separated from this concept, and its essence is to convert physical strength into a certain magical effect.
The mental strength of the fighters is relatively weak, and their physical strength does not have precise control;
As a result, they can only rely on totems' mechanical spells, which makes the energy consumption even more severe.
Let's say that the witch doctors consume 2 units of stamina to pry 10 units of spell effect;
Warriors who use totems may need to spend 4 units of stamina to barely get 8 units;
Therefore, the 'weak' side effects of the spell are more prominent in them.
To solve this problem, there are only two methods: "open source" and "throttling".
The former is to find a way to solve the energy problem and let the troll warrior have more physical energy;
The latter, on the other hand, solves the problem of physical controllability, which must be solved by making the totem more elaborate and energy-efficient, and constantly urging the warriors to persist in meditation.
Although there are ideas, the real problems are not as easy to change as imagined, and both solutions have their own difficulties.
In terms of 'energy', all of them fall into the middle, and the blade itself has achieved a leap;
The rest of the witch doctors are either breaking through or just haven't come yet.
And the breakthrough method of the blade tooth is unlikely to be applied to the warriors who are not even apprentices at this stage.
As for the issue of 'controllability', there is no good way to cross it, so they can only strengthen their meditation and improve their mental attributes through mechanical exercises, which may be useful.
"If only I could find pure elemental creatures..."
As he thought so, an apprentice pushed the door open into his office, reporting in a slightly nervous and slightly excited tone,
"Your Excellency, the Far Traveler Squadron has returned! I also brought back a few intelligent creatures! ”
Hearing this, Blade Tooth immediately got up and walked quickly towards the door,
"Where! Take me there! ”
