Chapter Ninety-Four: Red and Black
The candle flame flickered.
Zhou Ang turned around and cut off a section of the core with scissors, and the flame quickly stabilized again.
At this time, the agitated mood after the second completion of the casting had not yet retreated, Zhou Ang put the sword under the lamp, and looked at it carefully with excitement.
According to the law, after the whole process of demon yuan casting is completed, because of the successive transformation of aura and demon yuan, the material of the utensil itself will be further improved and strengthened, but this will not touch and change the structure of the utensil itself, but the entry of the demon element will leave a little "birthmark" on the utensil.
Zhou Ang was soon found.
It's actually at the tip of the sword!
Under the light, the whole body of the coral sword was dark red, with various irregular patterns, spreading throughout the sword body, but at the tip of the sword, all the patterns suddenly converged, forming a white spot.
It is about the size of a fingernail of a little finger and is shaped like a drop of water.
Frankly, it's a pretty nice end.
At this time, Zhou Ang subconsciously wanted to compare "Tao Yao" with it, and immediately took it out - "Tao Yao" was black all over, but in the center of the knife body, there was a circle of dark red markings, which was easier to find in the sunlight, and it was slightly inconspicuous under the light, and it was also the size of a fingernail, which was the mark left by the demon yuan of the weasel demon after it was melted in.
At this moment, a dagger and a coral sword are placed side by side on the table, one black and one red, which is pleasing to the eye.
After careful comparison, just from the appearance, Zhou Ang vaguely noticed the difference between the two demon elements.
The original weasel demon was a nine-grade monster, and of course its demon yuan in memory was also a silky lump, at this point, in terms of appearance alone, the two demon elements were quite similar, and the difference was probably only that this roe deer demon was an eight-grade monster, and its demon yuan was obviously more "grouping".
And after it was finally melted into a magic weapon, the demon element of the roe demon also obviously showed a more concentrated posture, compared to the dark red markings left by the demon element of the weasel demon, the "water droplet" left by the demon element of the roe demon, although it looks smaller, and if you look closely, there are still various dark lines divided inside the white spots, but it has obviously become more integrated.
In such a comparison, the things that Uncle Zheng Huan said at the beginning are all right.
The demon yuan is only the primary form of the demon pill, some demons have it, and some don't, but whether there is it or not, when it comes to the sixth order, the monsters will have their own demon pills.
It's just that, similar to human cultivators, it is not easy for monsters to complete the leap in rank, and in the seventh and eighth ranks, or even the ninth rank, there are already monsters with demon yuan, and it is often easier to complete the leap from the seventh rank to the sixth rank.
Therefore, according to this theory, and comparing the two current physical objects, Zhou Ang feels that he can basically draw a conclusion: a monster, no matter how many times it has a demon element, as it grows, the strength of the demon element will really gradually increase.
And the specific morphological difference that this ascension manifests is that it will become more and more concentrated and more contracted—that is, it will become more and more like an elixir.
After the comparison, Zhou Ang put away the "Tao Yao" and sat on the Hu chair, then picked up the coral sword again, and silently communicated and probed with his heart, wanting to see how much of the demon element of the roe demon was left after it was melted and cast - although from the point of view of appearance, this time the casting was quite successful, but for a magic weapon, the appearance is only secondary, and the most important thing is definitely the inside.
A smile quickly appeared on his face.
Soon after harvesting this demon element, he had conducted a cursory exploration of it, and at that time he found that there were three kinds of spells stored in this demon element.
One is "obstacle", the other is "falling rocks", and the other is "poison gas" that Zhou Ang is particularly interested in.
Among these three spells, it is obvious that "Obstacle" is the strongest, followed by "Falling Stone", and "Poison Gas", Zhou Ang sensed at that time that this spell is quite weak.
At that time, he suspected that the roe deer demon should have just gotten it, or had just learned this spell not long ago.
And now, after exploring, Zhou Ang was very pleased to find that after the completion of the casting, these three spells were not damaged or lost in the slightest, and they were all completely retained in the newly refined magic weapon.
Of course, there is no loss in casting, but it is absolutely impossible to strengthen.
Therefore, it is still the strongest "obstacle", followed by "falling rocks", and "poisonous gas" the weakest.
After the joy, Zhou Ang did not let go, and continued to explore, to feel the three spells hidden in the magic weapon, their respective casting methods and abilities.
Soon he found out one by one:
Among them, the "obstacle" is worthy of being the most powerful spell of an eight-rank roe demon, and after investigation, Zhou Ang found that if he urged it with all his might, this spell could instantly block a space of about ten meters in a radius - just like what the roe demon did when he killed the bear demon in the demon territory.
This spell, Zhou Ang felt that it should belong to a branch of illusion.
And his intuition also told him that if he combined this spell with the illusion that he had figured out that was still full of loopholes, it might produce unexpected good results.
But the specific circumstances under which this spell should be cast, and how it should be combined with one's own illusion, still need to be carefully considered, and even practiced.
As for the second spell "Falling Stone", there is nothing surprising - Feng Shan in the county Zhu Yamen is particularly good at this spell - in Zhou Ang's opinion, the role of this spell in actual combat is really not very big.
People who are qualified to become a cultivator's opponent are either cultivators or monsters, and both of them have far more reaction speed and agility than ordinary people, so it is really difficult to form an accurate and effective attack with "falling rocks" alone - this spell is still the most suitable for use as one of the attack methods in the battle of multiple people, and it is used to cooperate with companions to block the opponent's angle.
But even so, it is always better to have one more means of attack, and Zhou Ang is not disgusted.
But what he was most interested in was obviously the "poisonous gas" that he hadn't even heard of before—after probing the demon element of the roe demon that day, he even suspected that he had made a mistake.
How is it possible in the world to release poison gas?
However, now, after another investigation, he has to believe that this "poison gas" is really poison gas.
As a spell that has been sealed into a magic weapon, it is still very weak, but after being urged by the aura, it can already release a colorless and odorless gas, and it will soon cover a range of about three meters around the center of the caster.
But this kind of poisonous gas, because of the weakness of the spell, even if it is just an ordinary person, it needs to be inhaled steadily for about half a minute before it will have an effect.
And for cultivators and youkai, it naturally takes longer to produce an effect.
Once the effects are generated, the symptoms of poisoning are visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, cranky thoughts in the head, and so on. As long as you stop inhaling the poisonous gas and breathe naturally for more than ten minutes, the symptoms will gradually begin to subside.
After careful investigation, Zhou Ang felt that an ordinary ninth-order cultivator would need to inhale continuously and steadily for more than a minute before it could produce the desired effect.
And to the eighth level, it will take at least three minutes.
As for the youkai...... Considering that the physical fitness of monsters is generally far superior to that of cultivators of the same level, Zhou Ang felt that it was probably appropriate to compare them by the wrong grade.
That is, the "drug resistance" of a nine-rank monster can probably be compared to an eighth-order cultivator of the human race.
Of course, a ninth-order cultivator like Lu Jin, who was extremely burly and majestic, Zhou Ang didn't know if he should deduce it with common sense—his body, as strong as an ox, might be counted as two people?
Therefore, the slow effect must be its biggest weakness.
In addition, at present, it can only cover a range of three meters around it, which greatly restricts its use conditions, and is also its weakness and insufficiency.
And because it is only a relationship between spell creation, the outflow ability of this poisonous gas is not very good, although it can quickly cover a three-meter range around him, but after estimating, Zhou Ang feels that it will take at least five minutes or more, and it is possible to fill his study room with the poisonous gas that continues to spill out.
And once the spell is stopped, the poisonous gas that has been released will slowly dissipate into the air by itself in a few tens of minutes - if it is in an open and ventilated place, it will even blow away in a minute.
But on the other hand, Zhou Ang felt that it could still be very useful.
Because it is colorless and odorless, and the symptoms are not obvious physical reactions, it is extremely difficult to detect - if you cooperate with the chatter attack, when you are within three meters of a powerful enemy, this very weak spell may have an unexpected effect!
............
After playing and probing repeatedly for more than an hour, and basically figuring out its ability, Zhou Ang finally put down the coral sword with satisfaction, and easily lifted the ban on the room.
So the sound of insects and wind in the courtyard suddenly returned to the room.
This is Zhou Ang's second magic weapon.
Thinking about the entire county Zhu Yamen, only the county Zhu Gao Jing held a magic weapon called "Spirit Thorn" in his hand, and Zhou Ang felt that he was really quite rich.
However, after feeling and proud, in the study room late at night, listening to the chirping of insects and the sound of autumn in the courtyard, Zhou Ang couldn't help but think of the mountain gate, Uncle Zheng and Xiao Ao Chunlai.
Talisman making, refining weapons, and even the most basic cultivation, fighting, and demon killing, all of these are undoubtedly given by the mountain gate and taught by the uncle.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again.
"Uncle Shi, I miss you!"
