72. Soul Casting Secret Technique
Lenovo's use of "he" to refer to the giants in the sky is a bit inaccurate.
The giant did not have the physiology of a normal human.
At least from the physical appearance, the giant doesn't have such a thing as a "handle" or a "headlight".
The corresponding limb parts are either covered with dirty blood or bare.
Leno didn't care much about the gender of the giants.
His focus was on the wound in the giant's skull.
The flesh was rolled up, dripping with blood, pierced vertically by black hooks.
Every time the giant screamed, he would twist his head, exacerbating his injuries. The black hook would graze the flesh at the edge of the wound like a file, grinding out a lot of blood and shredded flesh.
This sight made Li Nuo tremble, but he had to force himself to stare closely at the giant's wound.
Because near the wound, there are many extraordinary characteristics of bright red, white, green, and light blue.
As the black hook squeezed the wound, the objects emerged from the giant's subcutaneous tissue and clinged to the surface of the skin.
Unfortunately, the Black Hook will taint these extraordinary properties at great speed, transforming them into something of that color, known as the Extraordinary Feature: Chaos Mutation.
Li Nuo observed these details when he flew to the giant's chest.
Faced with the personal attribute rewards that were close at hand, he didn't immediately continue to rise into the air and snatch the extraordinary trait clean from the "hands" of the black hook.
All because the black hook is not made of metal, nor is it a dead thing.
Li Nuo saw it clearly now.
It was a dark tentacle with swollen cells, slippery, sticky.
When the sun shines on it, it reflects an oily glow that is easily reminiscent of tar that has not yet dried.
The hook-like black tentacles are alive.
It retracts and expands regularly, as if it is breathing, or drawing food from the giant's body.
From time to time, the lumps on its surface will shake and crack a small slit, revealing dark green eyeballs.
The eyeballs move slightly, secreting a dark green mucus that emits a poisonous mist.
The mucus drips onto the giant's skin, "scalding" out blisters, corroding the surface layer and infiltrating the giant's blood vessels and subcutaneous tissues.
All the extraordinary properties that pass along the way will be tainted by this slime.
When Li Nuo saw this scene, he only felt his brows jump.
If he really wanted to touch the black tentacles, he doubted he would survive.
It is likely that the mere contact with the secretions of the swollen cells will cause him to die instantly.
"It seems that the difficulty of this place is too high for me, and it is not for me to come here."
Li Nuo stood on one of the giant's chest hairs, looking down at the mountains and clouds below, and his eyes fell on the pillars of smoke:
"Maybe the meaning of this twilight dream is in the extraordinary mass that the giant spits out. As long as you are clever enough and act quickly enough, you can salvage extraordinary characteristics that have not yet corroded from the pool of blood.
"Flying into the sky, observing a giant's wound up close, or trying to attack a black tentacle should be a potential danger in Dusk Dreams. As long as you don't die, you won't trigger the crisis, and you can wake up from your bed after the dream is over. ”
Li Nuo thought to himself as he turned his perspective and looked at the sky.
A large number of illegal properties were in front of him, but due to the terrifying image of the black tentacles and the intense corrosiveness of the mass secretions, he could not go any further, and could only watch as the extraordinary properties were tainted.
"Oh, it's uncomfortable..."
Li Nuo sighed secretly, his eyes carefully searching near the wound.
He was looking for a special variegated extraordinary property.
During the time he stood on his chest hair and observed the wound, he summed up a law of deconstruction:
When deconstructing extraordinary properties, deconstruction determines the amount of energy consumed according to the size and complexity of the target's color.
The smaller the size of the Extraordinary Trait, the lower the Energy requirement.
The color tends to be single, and the energy requirement will also be reduced.
As long as he can find an extraordinary variegated characteristic that is only the size of a fist and the color is not very complex, Li Nuo can still afford to deconstruct it.
So why do you have to keep an eye on the extraordinary properties of variegated colors?
Why not take a look at the extraordinary properties of other solid colors?
The reason is simple.
Li Nuo discovered:
The secretions of the swollen cells, after contaminating the extraordinary properties of pure color, will spit out the variegated secretions in the body and squirm to the next mass of pure color extraordinary properties.
It's like an act of eating—mucus-like lump secretions, which take the extraordinary properties of solid color as food, and the extraordinary properties of variegated colors are their excrement.
Obviously, these swells do not have the habit of eating their own excrement.
Once they have excreted the extraordinary properties of variegated colors, they ignore them and only circle around the extraordinary properties of solid colors.
If Li Nuo really wanted to take something away from the giant, he could only try to avoid the secretions of the swollen cells, and make the extraordinary properties of variegated as his goal.
Otherwise, he will conflict with the secretions of the swollen cells, which can lead to uncontrollable consequences.
Time passes in a careful search.
In the blink of an eye, the duration of the twilight dream dropped to 10 minutes.
Li Nuo glanced at the countdown on his personal panel, but he was not in a hurry.
He was a contented optimist.
The harvest of this twilight dream is enough, and there is no need to pursue more.
To be able to get the right variegated extraordinary characteristics is a really good thing and can be used as an add-on.
If you can't get it...
Then you can't get it.
Just when Li Nuo calmed down, a swollen secretion wriggling on the giant's chin expelled a small cloud of variegated extraordinary properties.
The size, the color, fully met all the standards set by Li Nuo.
Li Nuo glanced at the countdown.
There is 1 minute left.
It's definitely too late to get going.
The "feet" stepped on the chest hair, bent the chest hair, and Li Nuo used the elasticity of the chest hair to catapult himself out and fly straight into the air.
During the flight, his gaze locked onto the small mass of variegated extraordinary properties, unleashing deconstruction.
[System News: You are about to launch a deconstruction technique on "Extraordinary Trait: Chaos Mutation (Level 15)". 】
[Estimated consumption of 15 energy points, you can deconstruct this goal 100%. 】
[You currently have 24 energy points, do you want to structure it?] 】
"Well, sure enough, when the volume of the Variegated Extraordinary Properties is reduced to the size of a fist, the amount of energy required is very, very small. This level of variegated extraordinary characteristics should be the 'rat droppings' in the eyes of swollen cell secretions..."
Li Nuo silently recited in his heart:
"Confirm to deconstruct."
Li Nuo's flight attitude was slightly out of shape, and then returned to his original state after a short trance.

…
"Huh? It turns out that the so-called chaotic mutation is like this.
"Deduct the value of one attribute and add it to another, or at the cost of permanent negative effects, in exchange for a large increase in a single attribute.
"No matter which mutation direction it is random, I can't afford it. So why do I need this thing? Why bother to make yourself a person and a ghost for the sake of those few personal attributes. ”
Li Nuo stopped and stopped flying upwards.
There are about 20 seconds left, and the twilight dream is about to end.
The next cry of the giant also appeared at this point in time.
Li Nuo was at the neck of the giant at this time.
Before the giant let out a mournful roar, there was a more pronounced inhalation movement, and his neck would expand slightly as a result.
Li Nuo can see this detail by now.
According to his estimates, the giant's screams should have occurred at the same time as the end of the dream.
Seeing that he was about to feel the giant's scream up close, Li Nuo immediately pounced on the back of the giant's neck and fixed himself to a hair.
The giant inhaled sharply, and the air rolled backwards, merging into his mouth and nose.
Li Nuo grabbed the hairs to prevent them from being sucked into the giant's mouth.
There are 5 seconds left in the countdown to the Dusk Dream.
5。
4。
3。
2。
In the last two seconds, a monstrous explosion erupted in the giant's mouth, and the ferocious sound wave attacked everything around it indiscriminately.
The black tentacles tensed the lines at this moment, closing their own swollen cells.
The secretions of the swollen cells were bombarded and cut by sound waves, and the invisible air knife crushed them into powder.
The extraordinary properties that stayed on the surface of the giant, whether they were tainted by the black tentacles or not, were shattered by the giant's cry, turned into dust and moved with the wind, and sprinkled down on the mountains and forests below.
This is the first time Li Nuo has seen these subtleties.
When the giant let out a mournful cry before, he was always on the ground, how could he have imagined that the sound of the mournful roar would be so powerful.
The tearing pain spread all over his body in an instant, as if countless sharp bayonets pierced his body at the same time.
Just as his consciousness was about to be completely overwhelmed by the oceans of pain, a system message pulled him back from the brink of collapse:
【Warning! You're taking soul damage! 】
[[Soul Shield] can resist this type of damage!] 】
Lenovo's mind flashed like lightning.
It was only 0.1 seconds after the system message appeared, and he sketched out the spell blueprint of the "Soul Shield" in his mind.
A blue ellipsoid like a duck's egg, covering his body!
Only then did Li Nuo realize that he had always acted in the form of a soul in this dream!
[You consume 0.1 Soul Strength and 1 Energy to cast [Soul Shield]!] 】
[The shield can resist 4 attacks!] 】
【Warning! The shield is shattered! 】
The blue ellipsoid disintegrated in the sound waves and wind blades, turning into countless tiny sequins that dissipated with the wind.
Li Nuo's mind exploded at an unprecedented speed, once again outlining the spell blueprint and casting a new soul shield.
As soon as the blue ellipsoid appeared, it immediately fell apart.
Fortunately, the dream is over.
The wind ceased, the sound waves vanished, the glow and the sun turned into darkness, and the giants and black tentacles were reduced to nothing.
There was only darkness left in front of Lenovo's eyes.
But soon, the grunt of the wheels of the medical cart rolled through the door panel of the single cubicle and into his ears, waking him from his slumber.
Li Nuo opened his eyes, looked through the window at the head of the bed, and saw a dimly lit cloud.
The smell of disinfectant water characteristic of the hospital lingered on the tip of his nose.
The sound of the nurse talking to the patient next door could be faintly heard.
The crisp sound of the nurse breaking the ample seemed to be the vibration of the strings.
It's all far more real than a twilight dream.
Li Nuo breathed a long sigh of relief, sat up from the bed, and leaned against the wall.
The two seconds before the end of the dream were so thrilling that he was almost struck by the giant's scream.
Fortunately, fortunately, he has the "soul shield" in his hand, otherwise he would really have to explain it in the twilight dream.
Since there is no danger of surviving, is there any deconstruction result?
The sound waves and air blades are caused by giants, so it stands to reason that the result of passive deconstruction should also be related to giants, right?
Li Nuo called up the system message and took a look, and a happy light burst out from his eyes!
[Passive deconstruction activation! ] 】
[Your completion of deconstruction of "unknown objects" has increased from 0% to 0.08%!] 】
【You have obtained the following deconstruction results:】
["Dusk Giant's Soul Forgery: Basics", completeness 12.5%. 】
"The Twilight Giant... It turned out that the giant was called that. ”
The scene of the twilight dream flashed in front of Li Nuo's eyes.
It was as if a giant hung in the eternal twilight, and the black tentacles hanging from the endless heights were clearly alien.
I really don't know where these two things came from, and how the Dusk Giant got entangled in black tentacles.
Li Nuo temporarily put aside his thoughts about the dream realm and clicked on "Soul Casting Technique".
After looking at it carefully, Li Nuo nodded slowly, his eyes flashing with the joy he tried to suppress.
This wave, he made a lot of money!
The contents of the "Soul Casting Technique" are recorded in the text of the Dusk Giant.
Although Li Nuo has not studied this language, he can read it easily, which is due to the deconstruction.
The so-called "soul casting technique" is actually a method of increasing the strength and basic attributes of the soul by tempering the body.
As long as you follow the training methods in the book and temper your body consistently, you can achieve a double increase in soul strength and basic attributes in the process.
It's a water-grinding exercise that takes a lot of time.
What Li Nuo got in his hands was the basic article, and the completeness was only 12.5%, missing a lot of important content.
For example, the book mentions that during exercise, taking specific drugs and mutant materials can make training more effective.
Unfortunately, details about drugs and mutant material are missing.
The part of the content presented in the book is all about the technical essentials of tempering the body and the decomposition of movements.
From breathing methods, force methods, to movement tracks and muscle control methods, etc., everything is available, which is enough to guide rookies to get started.
Li Nuo looked at the single compartment he was in and shook his head helplessly:
"If I could have a private space of my own, I would definitely be able to practice the Soul Casting Technique of the Dusk Giant every day, but now... Eh, let's bear with me..."
