027 Psionic Staff
β¦β¦
Corpse Explosion.
One of the Necromancer's signature spells, which can be learned by reaching LV4 at level.
The principle is to use spiritual power and mana to pry the negative energy gap on the newly deceased body, causing it to explode due to energy imbalance.
Therefore, the first requirement for corpse explosion is "a corpse that dies for no more than 5 minutes".
There is only this kind of goal in the transformation of life and death balance.
Because of a small negative energy gap, an amazing explosive force will be released.
And when a necromancer who was proficient in corpse explosion came to the second order.
He will have the opportunity to learn an advanced spell technique called "Serial Corpse Explosion".
This technique gives a powerful trait to the Corpse Blast, which is that the corpse of a creature killed by the Corpse Explosion will have a 50% chance of automatically releasing the Corpse Blast.
And just right.
Matthew mastered this trick a year ago.
Even more coincidentally.
Each of the Madness Infect and the Madness Guard is parasitic with countless Madness larvae, and in the face of the Corpse Blast, these larvae perfectly assume the role of 'tandem'.
The damage of a single corpse explosion is actually not high, but the health of the Wild Worm larvae is lower, and it almost kills as soon as it explodes.
And each larva will be treated as a separate unit, which greatly increases the probability of serial corpse explosions!
And so.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
When the first explosion sounded from the damp and dim cave, the continuous explosion sound was as endless as the firecrackers during the Spring Festival in the previous life.
A haze of negative energy continued to rise from the cave.
It's like a cloud of small mushrooms.
The high-severity serial explosions also inevitably caused anomalies in the airflow inside the cavern.
Even if the three of them are in the protective spell.
You can also feel the wind whistling through your body.
Ella stumbled.
If it weren't for Matthew's quick eyes, he would have pulled her out.
She was almost swept away!
Thundered!
The serial explosion caused the collapse of part of the stone wall.
For a time, the wind hunted, and white smoke billowed out.
A large number of Zerg were killed in the explosion.
And in the midst of the chaos.
Samantha saw the mad guard who had ambushed and chased her!
It had intended to travel through the most exploding areas with its rough skin and thick flesh.
However, with a terrible wail.
Its bloated and massive body collapsed irrepressibly.
Ultimately.
In that purgatory of negative energy woven by white bones and gray mist.
That berserk guard also contributed his body to the feast of corpse blasting!
Rumble!
The massive shell exploded on the ground.
All creatures within 20 meters of it were blown to pieces!
Matthew visually.
After this big guy blew up, the number of wild Zerg present had been reduced by more than half.
But the corpse explosion feast continues.
It's just that in the endless chaos, the explosion was loud and violent from the beginning, 'Bang Bang Bang!' It became a 'poof!' from time to time later. That's it.
20 minutes later.
Matthew used the "Arcane Missile" on the Charged Staff to deal with the fish that slipped through the net on the edge of the explosion.
The horrific explosion finally stopped.
The wind eased slightly, and the white smoke sank.
The three walked out of the bleak guard inscription.
There was a mess in front of me.
A lot of debris mixed together:
Pieces of meat, broken bones, dust, eyeballs, nails, hair, fascia, internal organs, stones, gold coins, clothing, ......
A large amount of blood and pus were scattered on the stone walls in all directions.
There was a disgusting smell in the air.
Even with Matthew's mental qualities, he almost couldn't resist the urge to retch.
Ella flew away without saying a word.
It's Samantha.
Perhaps because of the constant hand-to-hand combat with the bugs, she is significantly more resistant to such bloody scenes.
She walked around the scene after the explosion as usual, and skillfully checked for any fish that had slipped through the net.
It was only when she saw the parts left behind by the mad guards that she frowned slightly.
And on the other side of the battlefield.
Matthew rendezvouses with Bing and is counting the few loots and losses.
In terms of losses, all the eleven skeleton soldiers, except for the soldiers, were reduced to the nourishment of the explosion, and none of them were spared.
This is the family that Matthew has been saving in Rolling Stones for a long time, and it is impossible to say that he is not distressed, but the skeleton soldiers are essentially cannon fodder, and he feels that he should get used to it.
There are also not many loot, and there are very few good things on the Wild Zerg, and they have been bombarded indiscriminately and repeatedly by the corpse explosion technique, and what is left must be high-quality, at least in terms of texture.
Matthew found a sapphire ring, a card that resembled an access card, and a psionic staff the length of his arm.
In addition to its good looks, the sapphire ring is also enchanted with a spider web technique, but unfortunately the grade is not high, and it can only come once a day;
There is no clue as to the origin of the card, but Matthew notices that the insignia of the Antu Empire is inscribed in the lower right corner of one side, which may be a credential for entering and exiting an important laboratory;
As for the last psionic staff, because it was in an unidentified state, Matthew habitually threw a discernment technique on it after he got it.
β¦β¦
"Identification failed! You won't know the properties of the Psionic Staff or how to use it!
Hint: You need higher knowledge (psionic powers)"
β¦β¦
Failed?
Matthew raised his eyebrows, and then he felt a little painβ
Most psionic-related items need to be identified before they can be used;
In order to identify this type of item, it is necessary for the user of the forensic art to have a high level of psionic knowledge;
However, psionic knowledge is often derived from psionic related items.
It can be said that it is a perfect closed loop.
Matthew wasn't discouraged, though.
He also has a high-level forensic scroll given by Archmage Ronan at home, which should be able to identify this staff.
The only thing to consider is, is this staff worthy?
Matthew gently stroked the pale blue amber stone set in the psionic staff.
I couldn't make up my mind for a while.
"An impressive explosion, your strength is beyond my expectations."
"To be honest, you've helped me a lot, and under normal circumstances, it would take me a lot of effort to get out."
Samantha's voice rang out from the side.
Matthew put away his staff and said calmly, "It's nothing, they're my target too." β
Samantha looked at Matthew with distinct eyes:
"But I made you lose a team of skeletons, and I owe it to you."
Matthew waved his hand: "It's just a team of skeleton soldiers, don't mind." β
"No, it's important, I'm trying to figure out how to compensate you."
Samantha's eyes are clear:
"Or you can try to make some requests, but I won't necessarily accommodate them all."
Matthew thought for a moment:
"Maybe we can work together? This hive is huge, and we have not yet explored a third of the overall area, and we all share the same goal as moon descenders. β
However, Samantha shook her head without hesitation when she heard this: "No, I won't cooperate with you!" β
Didn't wait for Matthew to speak.
She preemptively said:
"Well, I think I'll have a hard time accepting your request, so I've decided to give you a team of skeletons - Eli and I killed a lot of the infected, and their bodies were disposed of and buried in specific locations on each floor, and I think those materials should be enough for you."
Okay, too.
Matthew wasn't unhappy with being rejected.
He just looked at Samantha curiously:
"Why did you reject me? Is it just because I'm a necromancer? β
Samantha said honestly:
"I'm sorry, but I really don't want to work with a necromancer, it's against my natural heart."
Matthew couldn't help but laugh:
"So your natural heart is so narrow?"
Samantha was stunned for a moment.
Ma Xiu asked bluntly, "Why did you expel 'immortality' from nature?"
Can't necromantic creatures be part of nature?
Is your understanding of nature a concept instilled in you by conservative, backward and authoritative beings?
If so, then I really don't have much to work with you, and your knowledge and understanding of nature is too shallow. β
Samantha's face was full of shock: "You, what are you talking about?" How could Her Highness allow you to speak such blasphemous words? β
Blasphemy?
This level of edge rubbing is also considered blasphemy?
Matthew has a new understanding of the thinking pattern of the moon descender in front of him.
In fact.
Matthew didn't care if the Moonlight Goddess would punish him, not to mention that he was asking for himself now, even if he didn't have the pressure of the Berserk Zerg, it wasn't certain if he had the ability to inflict a powerful enough divine punishment!
After all, according to the information he learned from Archmage Ronan, hundreds of years have passed since the famous event "Tianlun Palace Ascension", and the influence of the gods of the heavenly realm on the main material realm can be said to be very small-
In all human countries, even the elves who believe in relatively religious beliefs have already disobeyed the will of the gods, and only conservative and backward groups such as the druids still maintain relatively fixed beliefs.
"Since there is no room for cooperation, then I will go first."
Matthew yawned and prepared to go home.
"Say good skull materials, remember to take me there the next time we meet!"
"Finally, let me say my own understanding, I think that nature, it has infinite inclusiveness, it is not only the so-called narrow embodiment that people can discern with the naked eye, it should be the most real appearance of this universe."
Samantha stared at Matthew, her eyes changing again and again.
Matthew stopped talking, and the figure disappeared in place.
Samantha didn't leave.
She paced back and forth in place.
The eyes are wandering.
Soon after.
Footsteps could be heard in the cavern behind her.
"Sorry, I'm late, what's going on here?" Eli asked apologetically.
Samantha hesitated for a moment and repeated Matthew's words.
Eli was furious when he heard this:
"He's blaspheming not only gods, but nature! How can filthy undead creatures enter the realm of nature? He's quibbling! β
"And he's a mere second-order necromancer, how can he have the cheekiness to talk about the universe? If it had been an association in our land, a man like him would have been taken from him and exiled to the depths of the Far East! β
Eli scolded fiercely.
Samantha was surprisingly silent.
It's been a long time.
Eli couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart:
"Samantha, you don't believe his nonsense, do you?"
Samantha shook her head hurriedly:
"How is that possible! I'm just thinking about how to pay him off! After all, he saved my life just now. β
Eli breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded:
"If he did save your life, then we really shouldn't say nothing, I have something here that I don't need and you can give him as payment."
Then he said in a reproachful tone:
"The next time I'm away, don't venture alone."
Samantha replied nonchalantly:
"Got it."
Eli asked with great interest:
"Shall we proceed then?"
Samantha hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "No, I'm injured and a little tired, so I'll be here first tonight." See you next time, Eli. β
As she spoke, her figure vanished.
Eli was left alone and confused.
β¦β¦
Rolling Stone, home.

"Hint: You consumed an Advanced Identification Scroll.
Successful identification!
You've gained the Cough Staff (psionic item)!"
