Chapter 106: Biological witchcraft, Ring of
Fire! boom!
A deafening roar resounded over the forest, occasionally mixed with the crisp sound of metal clashing.
A good wizard's apprentice is usually also a good knight.
Su Shouhai and Gong Xinghe are no exception.
Both of them have the physical fitness of a peak knight, and their swordsmanship is superb. Once they met, they started a fierce close combat.
As the sword light flashed, spells were fired from time to time.
Su Shouhai, who was originally from the Silver Light Legion, is best at this fighting style.
On the other hand, Gong Xinghe lacked the fierce aura unique to soldiers, and his combat experience was obviously far inferior to that of Su Shouhai.
But when the fight actually started, it was Gong Xinghe who firmly controlled the rhythm of the battle and gained the upper hand.
Just because he has mastered the silent spell, he can cast the spell very secretly, which often catches Su Shouhai off guard.
In addition, Gong Xinghe was obviously superior to Su Shouhai in both the speed of casting spells and the power of spells.
"Improve the spell?"
Pei Ze stared at the battle below intently, his eyes flashing slightly.
What Gong Xinghe cast was obviously an improved spell.
This is not surprising.
Apprentices who come from a wizarding family, or have a wizard as their mentor, mostly learn improved spells.
Only ordinary wizard apprentices with no background will learn the ordinary versions of spells officially sold.
Su Shouhai was a wizard apprentice with no background, otherwise he would not have wasted so many years in the third-level wizard apprenticeship realm.
Su Shouhai will most likely lose.
Pei Ze made a quick judgment.
Unable to gain any advantage in close combat, and his spells were suppressed in all directions, Su Shouhai was no match for Gong Xinghe.
The only hope now is the witchcraft.
If you use a magic weapon, there might be a chance of victory.
As if in response to Pei Ze's thoughts, the mental fluctuations around Su Shouhai suddenly became much more violent, and a strong wind visible to the naked eye suddenly arose out of thin air, wrapping his whole body like armor.
Suddenly, Su Shouhai seemed to transform into a giant with the body of a strong wind.
boom!
With a heavy swing of his arm, he whipped Gong Xinghe away on the spot.
In an instant, a thin sound was heard from the latter, and the mage's armor shattered in response.
But the next second, another layer of faint magical light lit up, protecting Gong Xinghe as he landed safely.
Su Shouhai didn't expect this blow to cause any damage to Gong Xinghe. After all, he knew with his toes that the opponent must have more than one defensive magic item on him.
As soon as Gong Xinghe landed, he rushed over with a low roar and slammed into Gong Xinghe with an extremely violent hurricane.
As Su Shouhai used the magic weapon, the battle became more intense.
The strong wind on Su Shouhai's body was rotating at high speed all the time, and the strong tearing force contained within could be seen with the naked eye.
Several stones were accidentally caught in it and were crushed into powder in an instant.
However, in the face of Su Shouhai's fierce offensive, Gong Xinghe still looked calm and calmly used spells to counterattack.
While dodging the attacks, he continuously released various attack spells to bombard the violent wind on Su Shouhai's body.
Unfortunately, neither the spell missile nor the fireball had much effect on that layer of strong wind.
As far as the wizard apprentice stage is concerned, the witchcraft has exceeded the range that a first-level spell can cope with. Either other more powerful means must be used to counter it, or the witchcraft can only be used head-on.
"Why doesn't Gong Xinghe use witchcraft yet?" Xiao Xi frowned.
"Perhaps he is waiting for the opportunity." Pei Ze said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
After a fireball technique slightly blocked Su Shouhai, Gong Xinghe suddenly retreated quickly, opened a distance of hundreds of meters, and then pointed his finger at Su Shouhai from a distance.
A low whistling sound suddenly sounded, as if the air was flowing extremely fast.
At the same time, Su Shouhai, who was about to continue his pursuit, suddenly froze, and the wind layer on his body shrank by a large margin visibly to the naked eye. The high-speed rotating wind seemed to have lost energy and slowed down significantly.
"What's going on?" Xiao Xi was surprised.
"It should be some kind of spell that creates a vacuum environment." Pei Ze frowned.
After being reminded by Pei Ze, Xiao Xi noticed that the whistling sound had disappeared at some point, and with Su Shouhai as the center, there seemed to be a silent area within a hundred meters. No sound could be heard, and the air seemed to be empty. Got sucked clean.
Although the layer of strong wind on Su Shouhai's body was formed by using magic weapons to gather wind elements, it also lacked flowing air, so it was naturally greatly affected in a vacuum environment.
Yuan Meng, who was listening to the conversation between the two, turned to look at Pei Ze, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"You can see the key points of Gong Xinghe's magic at a glance. This disciple Mo Weng has a good vision and a profound accumulation of knowledge. No wonder he has reached the standard of condensing spiritual crystals at such a young age." Pei Ze did not notice Yuan Meng's gaze
. His mind was entirely focused on the battle below.
At the moment when the strong wind on Su Shouhai's body was greatly weakened, the ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded. As the dust exploded, countless bloody vines suddenly emerged from the ground and wrapped around Su Shouhai's ankles.
In just an instant, Su Shouhai was wrapped into a rice dumpling by countless bloody vines, with only one head exposed.
These bloody vines seem to have the ability to swallow energy particles.
Under their wrapping, the wind layer shrank again, almost to the point of being close to the skin.
Even though the surrounding vacuum environment had gradually disappeared and the air was flowing again, the strong wind layer on Su Shouhai's body could not be restored.
"What is this?" Xiao Xi's eyes widened in shock, "A spell? Or a magical plant?"
Pei Ze was also secretly confused.
There was no mental fluctuation when the bloody vine emerged from the ground, otherwise Su Shouhai would not have noticed it at all, so it was most likely not a spell.
As for the magic plant
competition, the rules for this competition are similar to those for the maze trial. Any strange objects or external puppets are prohibited from being used, which naturally includes magic plant seeds.
But seeing that the six wizards present showed no signs of stopping them, they knew that these bloody vines were not magical plant seeds.
Suddenly, Pei Ze had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "Biological magic weapon!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xi was stunned, and Yuan Meng cast an appreciative glance at him.
Even Zhuang Li, who was opposite him, glanced at him in surprise, and said with a half-smile: "Good knowledge, young man. Very few wizard apprentices can recognize biological magic weapons."
Pei Ze just shrugged and said nothing. .
Xiao Xi asked Yuan Meng for information on biological witchcraft.
Yuan Meng said softly: "Biological witchcraft is the product of the combination of puppetry and enchantment. To put it simply, it is to transform a living body into a witchcraft." "The witchcraft refined in this way still retains part of its life
. , is more flexible than most witchcraft in battle, and has less load on wizards. Even wizard apprentices can use it for a longer time." Xiao Xi frowned and said: "In that case, biological witchcraft is not very useful
. Awesome? Why have I never heard of it?"
"That's not true." Yuan Meng stroked Xiao Xi's hair lovingly and explained patiently, "Biological magic weapons also have many flaws." "First of all, the
first one is refining. It is difficult to make, because it involves two different fields, so it must be mastered by a master who is proficient in enchantment and puppet making. This also makes biological witchcraft extremely rare." "The second is the issue of use time limit, ordinary
witchcraft There is almost no service life. As long as it is maintained with energy particles at all times, it can be used for a long time without being damaged. Even in an environment where energy particles are exhausted, it can last for tens or hundreds of years before being scrapped." "Biological magic weapons cannot be used. , they have a 'life span,' even if they are kept warm by energy particles, they cannot survive for a long time. If they cannot absorb energy particles, they will die soon. This is also the biggest flaw of biological magic weapons." Xiao Xi suddenly realized
.
Pei Ze nodded thoughtfully.
In general, biological witchcraft is a special witchcraft that reduces the use cost at the expense of its service life.
For wizard apprentices, this is undoubtedly an excellent witchcraft weapon.
"The situation is not good." Xiao Xi frowned.
At this time, the battle situation was obviously extremely unfavorable to Su Shouhai.
Under the entanglement and erosion of the bloody vines, the strong wind that enveloped Su Shouhai's body almost disappeared.
It is foreseeable that once the protection from the witchcraft is broken, Su Shouhai's other defensive magic items alone will definitely not be able to withstand the strangulation of the bloody vines.
The outcome was almost clear at this point.
Su Shouhai continued to resist, but it was just a desperate struggle.
If you don't want to be killed, you have to admit defeat.
Among the bloody vines, Su Shouhai's expression was changing, and he seemed to be struggling fiercely in his heart.
But reality didn't leave him much room to hesitate, and the bloody vines tightened again.
Seeing that the protection of the magic weapon was about to be broken, he finally couldn't bear the psychological pressure and opened his mouth to admit defeat.
But at this moment, Su Shouhai suddenly felt a cool breath coming from the back of his head.
Almost instantly, the cool breath broke through the defense of the three magic items on his body and touched the skin on the back of his head.
Su Shouhai's face changed drastically in an instant, and he opened his mouth to shout.
But it was too late. The next second, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, followed by darkness coming in like a tide, drowning his consciousness.
In the white mist, the expressions of Pei Ze and Xiao Xi both changed.
In the two people's perception, Su Shouhai's life breath suddenly weakened rapidly.
Looking below, the bloody vines suddenly shrank sharply, a crackling and numbing bone explosion sound came from inside, and blood spattered vaguely from the gaps in the vines.
A few seconds later, the bloody vines squirmed and crawled back to the ground, as if they had never appeared.
The place where Su Shouhai used to be was already empty, with only a pool of bright red blood remaining on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Xi's face suddenly became very ugly.
Pei Ze looked at Gong Xinghe with slightly cold eyes.
Although he had clearly killed his opponent, Gong Xinghe's expression remained calm and unruffled, as if he had crushed an ant to death. His whole person exuded an aura of indifference and coldness that was intimidating.
Noticing Pei Ze's gaze, Gong Xinghe turned around and looked straight at him, his eyes revealing one undisguised meaning - it will be your turn soon!
Pei Ze didn't pay attention. This kind of psychological attack was not enough to make him shaken, but a faint light flashed in his eyes.
On the back of the giant eagle, a cold smile flashed across the faces of the three wizards.
Zhuang Li turned his head and looked at the three people opposite him with a smile.
"It seems that our Red Lotus City won the first victory."
Faced with their opponents' pride and provocation, Ai Yuan and the masked wizard ignored them and ignored them.
Only Yuan Meng snorted coldly and said: "This is not a competition format of three wins and two losses. The winner is the one who stands on the field at the end."
Zhuang Li also retorted and said with a smile: "That's right, then let the second Come on."
Yuan Meng frowned slightly and turned to look at Xiao Xi and Pei Ze.
Before Pei Ze could speak, Xiao Xi took a step forward and said solemnly: "I'll do it."
She whispered to Pei Ze: "Yang Xu's ability is somewhat restraining me, and I don't have a good solution to Xu Ke's illusion. Just leave Gong Xinghe to me!"
Xiao Xi's move was carefully considered.
Although Gong Xinghe is the strongest among the three opponents, she has just experienced a fierce battle and it took a lot of effort. She is not without confidence that she can win.
Even if he loses to Xu Ke and Yang Xu after this, Pei Ze can still take the lead.
Pei Ze thought for a while and understood Xiao Xi's plan. He glanced at her and nodded: "Be careful." It was
obvious that Honglian City was not prepared to hold back. As long as there was a chance, Gong Xinghe would definitely kill without hesitation. He will never let his opponent live and admit defeat.
"Yeah!"
Xiao Xi nodded heavily and jumped out of the white mist without hesitation.
After landing safely with the Feather Falling Technique, she immediately assumed a fighting stance as if facing a powerful enemy.
But Gong Xinghe stood quietly from the beginning to the end, with no intention of attacking when he was unprepared.
Seeing the opponent's lofty attitude, as if he was sure of victory, Xiao Xi's eyes turned cold and he launched an attack without saying a word.
After watching the battle just now, she knew that her magical attainments were not as good as Gong Xinghe's, let alone close combat. Therefore, she had no intention of competing with him in spells and swordsmanship, and did not hesitate to take out her witchcraft. device.
A small ring that is entirely pitch black and looks like a blazing flame.
As Xiao Xi's fingertips lightly touched the surface of the ring, her body was suddenly covered with a layer of fire as deep and dark as the night, making her whole body feel a little more strange.
The next moment, Xiao Xi suddenly disintegrated and turned into countless dense flies, with a low and deafening buzzing sound, sweeping towards Gong Xinghe like dark clouds.
If you observe carefully, you can find that each fly has a layer of dark flames on its body.
"This is."
Pei Ze's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly searched in his mind and quickly found the origin of the ring.
Ring of Ghost Fire!
A special witchcraft modeled after the high-level spell 'Spark Insect Cloud'.
The reason why it is special is because this kind of magic weapon can only be used on very limited objects.
In the hands of an ordinary wizard apprentice, the Ring of Ghost Fire is only slightly more powerful than a low-light magic item.
But in the hands of a wizard apprentice who has mastered specific abilities, the Ring of Ghost Fire can exert more power than ordinary wizard weapons.
The so-called specific abilities naturally refer to Xiao Xi's ability to transform into a swarm of insects.
It can add the power of ghost fire to the designated target, giving it temporary physical damage immunity and moderate spell resistance equivalent to that of a shadow. In addition, the attack will also cause fire damage, which can be regarded as a double improvement of defense and attack.
Because the improvement is not large, the effect cannot be said to be obvious if it is placed on a single goal.
But if you put it on thousands of flies, the effect will be amazing.
It can be said that this witchcraft is very compatible with Xiao Xi.
Although the insect swarm transformed by Xiao Xi is flexible and moves strangely, its attack and defense are not outstanding.
However, with the Ring of Ghost Fire, this shortcoming was immediately made up for.
The combat effectiveness seems to have been greatly improved.
