The laboratory in the village had not been completed yet, and he could not conduct further research, so he took this opportunity to see with his own eyes the second-stage transformation process of the barbarians and how the so-called black prismatic spikes performed in actual combat.
.
Ventalita's complexion quickly turned ugly.
The herd is dying fast!
Those are no ordinary undead!
The sharp claws of the ghoul have an armor-piercing effect and can easily cut through the hard skin of the beasts and open long and narrow wounds on the beasts.
The enemy's attack power is very high!
What’s even more terrifying is that they also have the terrifying ability to recover themselves!
He has never seen such a weird ghoul!
"Roar!!!"
Ventalita immediately burst into the second level state, with a layer of black cuticle overflowing from the surface of the skin, and fine black diamond-shaped spikes protruding from the cuticle.
"coming!"
In the second stage, the barbarians covered in black cuticles were very easy to identify. Okura saw Ventalita rushing towards the front of the battlefield at a glance, and shouted, "Mage group! Attack!"
More than a dozen mages standing on the guard tower immediately waved their staffs and cast various debilitating spells on Wintalita.
"ice crystals!"
"slow!"
"Unknown fear!"
"ignite!!"
"Will destroyed!"
More than ten negative spells were cast towards Wintali Tower.
Huh?
The effect is so good?
Fang Heng, who was watching from the side, suddenly showed joy when he saw this.
The barbarians in the second-level state are very strong and difficult to deal with, but their resistance to the legal system is almost zero!
With more than a dozen negative spell effects covering his body, Ventali Tower's forward speed suddenly slowed down and his movements became extremely stiff.
Fang Heng discovered that the threat of Ventalita has been greatly reduced!
Even Lickers can be faster than him!
Fang Heng couldn't help but look back at Ma Xiaowan who was relieved.
This teammate is great!
However, Imperial Mage also has limitations.
They are not good at close combat and need the protection of teammates on the battlefield.
If you take this group of mages to fight in the wild, you will die suddenly if you are accidentally caught by a beast.
But as a city defense, the mage group is very effective.
At this moment, Fang Heng suddenly felt that the situation in Hani City over Wei Tao's side should be quite optimistic.
Ma Xiaowan didn't know what Fang Heng was thinking.
She was still staring nervously at the bottom of the city wall.
It is extremely difficult to train mages in the empire. Training these dozen mages consumes a lot of resources from the Tianli Mercenary Group every year. If one of them accidentally dies, she will be heartbroken.
"Roar!!!"
Ventalita was under the control of the mage group and felt extremely uncomfortable. He once again let out a beast roar and suddenly raised his hand towards the group of mage groups above the sentry tower.
"Tsk tsk tsk!!!"
Thin black prismatic spikes attacked the mage group.
On the side, the imperial guard soldiers who had been prepared immediately raised a shield more than half a meter thick and came over to block the front of the mage group.
"Boom! Boom!"
The black rhombus-shaped spikes hit the shield one after another, piercing it directly and deeply for several centimeters.
Huh?
What's going on? Didn't it explode?
"Quick, bring the shield over and show it to me!"
Qiu Yaokang was very excited after witnessing the second-level form of the barbarians. He had long been interested in the black prismatic spikes and hurriedly called a soldier to come over with a shield to check.
The two soldiers carried the heavy alloy shields back to the rear at the same time.
Fang Heng was also a little curious. He lowered his head and observed with Qiu Yaokang the black diamond-shaped spikes pierced on the shield.
The spike is a black prism with an extremely sharp front section.
Just from the appearance, it looks like crystal.
Qiu Yaokang looked at the prismatic spikes with a serious look on his face.
He looked at Fang Heng beside him and said, "Try it, pick one up and check it out."
"Well, get out of the way, or you may explode."
Fang Heng was worried that the spikes would suddenly explode, so he waited until Qiu Yaokang was far away before reaching out and grabbing the handle of the black spikes.
The prismatic spikes are cold to the bone and the surface is extremely smooth.
laugh!
Fang Heng suddenly used force and pulled out the entire black spike.
It didn't explode.
"interesting."
Qiu Yaokang came over, took the black prismatic crystal from Fang Heng, held it in his hand and observed it carefully.
After watching for a moment, he seemed to have discovered something, and then he stuck his head out and looked under the city wall.
Ventalita is fighting while surrounded by Lickers.
After the prismatic black crystal penetrates into the licker's body, it will produce continuous explosions, causing secondary damage to the licker.
For Lickers, the explosion damage is not terrible. The most troublesome thing is that the stupor interruption effect of subsequent sustained explosions will make them temporarily lose their combat capabilities for a period of time.
"Anything found?"
Qiu Yaokang thought for a while and explained in a way that Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei could understand: "In my judgment, the black prismatic crystal is no longer under the control of the host after it is separated from the body, such as the sting of a wasp."
Mo Jiawei said: "Of course I understand this, but why doesn't it explode?"
"Based on my guess, it should be related to blood."
Qiu Yaokang said, throwing the black rhombus crystal in his hand towards somewhere outside the city wall.
"Snapped!"
The spike landed on a large pool of blood.
Within half a second of touching the continued page, the spikes exploded with a loud bang.
The prismatic spike explodes into several small prismatic spike fragments. The fragments contact the blood and explode again to form smaller spikes, which continue to cycle into explosions.
"It seems that I guessed it right." Qiu Yaokang nodded: "The prismatic spike crystal reacts with certain elements in the blood or is catalyzed to explode. As for the so-called delayed explosion, it should be caused by insufficient reaction with the elements."
Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei looked at each other and expressed that they understood a little bit.
But it doesn't seem to be of much use.
Fang Heng then asked: "Can you find a way to prevent the spikes from exploding?"
As long as the spikes do not explode continuously in the licker's body, the threat of the entire second-level barbarians will be greatly reduced.
"Well..." Qiu Yaokang thought for a moment and replied: "I can't answer your question for the time being. I want to do an experiment."
"Okay, what experiment?"
ha?
Ma Xiaowan and Okura, who were listening nearby, couldn't help but swallow their saliva and looked carefully at Qiu Yaokang and others who were discussing academic matters seriously.
How long has it been since then and they still have the intention to study here?
Conducting experiments?
What's going on?
Don’t you think of barbarians as human beings?
To be honest, the empire and the barbarians have been at war for so long, and this is the first time they have heard that the explosion of black spikes is related to blood.
Imperial people all have an inherent concept that the explosion of black prismatic spikes is controlled by the barbarians.
"It is difficult for the spikes on ordinary animals to grow repeatedly in a short period of time, but the barbarians seem to have a strong ability to regenerate weapons. I am very curious about this ability."
Qiu Yaokang looked at the barbarian Wintalita below who entered the second level of combat, and couldn't help but show interest on his face.
"So I want to try to see how many spikes he can get out of his body."
