Black crystal is a type of spiritual object that can store a large amount of spiritual energy. It is generally used as an energy source for various instruments, instruments, or rituals.
It has many advantages, but its only disadvantage is that it is not easy to preserve. The spirituality of its internal structure will be lost over time, and it will eventually become an ordinary crystal.
But this is not a problem at all for Rhodes.
The dream world itself has a strong preservation effect, and the storage place under the stone platform is like time standing still. All materials can be preserved as if they were just put in.
And he bought the black crystal purely to practice his psychic powers.
The empty black crystal is just the object for inputting spiritual energy. Whenever Rhodes studies the book of knowledge in his dream, he will pinch two black crystals.
Anyway, his spiritual energy recovered quickly.
Moreover, full black crystals are much more expensive than empty black crystals.
Buy short, sell full.
It’s equivalent to studying knowledge and making money at the same time.
I was thinking loudly, but I didn't expect that the guys here were short of black crystals again.
Rhodes sighed slightly, forget it, it has to be reimbursed anyway. The Wang Cheng family has a big business, so they shouldn't be stingy with this little money, right?
"I have."
Mina asked: "How many?"
"About a hundred."
The steel hand hesitated for a moment: "Are your sleeves that big?"
Rhodes glanced at him: "Can't I have luggage? These black crystals are in my carry-on clothes."
Mina became anxious: "The black crystal needs special preservation. If you put it in your clothes, its spirituality will be completely lost in a few days! Quick, take it out!"
Rhodes snorted: "How do you know that my clothes are ordinary clothes? I can't wear more high-end ones? Clothes with preservation effect?"
He turned around and returned to the room, leaving everyone looking at each other in disbelief.
"Are there any clothes like this?"
In the room, Rhodes quickly entered and exited the dreamland and stuffed the black crystal into his luggage bag.
The black crystal is not large, about the size of half a thumb.
But one hundred pills also need to enter and exit the dream ten times.
Rhodes once again felt the inconvenience of material transportation. Frequent in and out of dreams made him feel dizzy and depressed.
What's the best way to find it?
While Rhodes was thinking, he carried his luggage bag to the basement.
Mina rushed up, grabbed the luggage from his hands, and pulled it away to take a look.
A bunch of black crystals are wrapped in clothes!
She took out one, put it in her hand and looked at it, her big eyes full of incredible surprise.
"This, this looks like new, and some of it is full of energy!"
She immediately turned her attention to Rhodes' clothes.
"Aren't these your ordinary clothes?"
Mina took out a pair of underwear and inspected them repeatedly, but found nothing unusual.
Rhodes pulled him back: "When you smell it, my spirituality is gone."
Mina's eyebrows immediately rose: "What do you mean?"
A logistics staff shouted: "Sister Mina! Put it in here quickly! The full energy of the black crystal energy flows away very quickly!"
Mina woke up from a dream and quickly transferred the black crystal to a special storage box with her assistant.
Then, with a gentle touch of her slender fingers, some translucent substance remained on the surface of the storage box, wrapping it up.
"This is my spirituality. As long as I am here, these black crystals can be preserved for more than fifteen days."
Fifteen days later, no matter what, the supplies for the Giant Fortress were also delivered.
Everyone in the basement let out a long breath, and Steel Hand was so excited that he couldn't speak: "Brother Rhodes, I really don't know how to thank you..."
Humanity 51.
Yes, your thanks have arrived.
Rhodes smiled, but immediately put it back and said seriously: "You still have to pay the money."
The steel hand kept saying: "Of course, of course!"
Mina muttered: "Money, money, money, I know money."
Rhodes glanced at her: "What do I want if I don't want money? Do I want you? Will you give it to me?"
Humanity 1
"No! Go back to your daydreams!"
Mina really kicked everyone out, and she was alone in the basement tinkering with the psychic generator with cracks on the crystal, trying to figure out a way to use it most efficiently.
——
The psychic generator had sufficient energy, and Steel Hand and the others' hearts dropped to the ground.
The subsequent battles became smoother as a result - they did not have to brave the harsh conditions and forcefully kill the monsters that were very destructive to the fortress first. Instead, they followed established tactics to eliminate the monsters that posed the greatest threat to personnel one by one. The battle gradually became favorable to them. The terrain of Jianguan was really good. On both sides were high dead mountains. Monsters generally would not touch these dead things that had been silent in the black mist for countless years.
Only a very small number of monsters will climb the Death Mountain, but generally they will not attack the sword pass from the top of the mountain.
The tall Jianguan fortress is blocked in the canyon. The defenders only have to deal with flying or climbing instinct monsters first, then monsters with long-range attack capabilities, and finally clear out the monsters that pose a great threat to Jianguan and fight.
It becomes much easier.
Once groups of flying monsters appear, Steel Hand will immediately mobilize everyone to support them and quickly eliminate them at the minimum cost.
As long as there are no flyers, other monsters pose little threat to the combatants on the city wall and can be dealt with slowly under the light of fire.
This is the best way.
Under such reasonable tactical arrangements, the situation has temporarily stabilized.
The combatants took turns to fight on the city wall, and the logistics staff were responsible for caring for the wounded, cleaning the battlefield and other activities.
Mina is tending the psychic generator in the basement.
Maul stood in front of the guardian fire, adding phlogiston according to the situation, adjusting the intensity of the fire, and managing the people who came to the fire to restore their psychic powers.
Steelhand and his adjutants took turns to stay in the command room, paying attention to the situation, and regularly reported news to their superiors, Liguang Fortress, while requesting supplies from Giant Fortress.
They usually use the Spirit Crow Messenger to send messages, because psychic communication cannot cross the black mist and can only be used locally.
However, the Spirit Crow Messenger cannot be used frequently because a red tear stone must be consumed each time, otherwise it will be eroded.
In addition to this method, people are used to convey messages.
But unless it is the most important letter, no messenger will arrive.
Liguang Fortress rarely replies to letters, but a piece of war zone information is sent every few days.
Gangshou and others learned from this information that the scale of the black tide this time exceeded expectations. Part of the front swept through the outer defense line, causing great pressure. The outer defense circle had been completely disabled and could only defend itself.
, the middle-level defense circle fully takes over the responsibilities of the outer-layer defense circle and is responsible for cleaning up the major threats in the black tide.
The inner defense circle has become the main force, responsible for resisting most monsters.
Wangcheng has fully mobilized battle groups from all districts and formed combat clusters to defend the core area and support the front line.
The defense pressure in various parts of the seventh defense area is very high. Guardian Snow admitted that Liguang Fortress encountered great difficulties. They were forced to lure out more monsters to reduce the pressure on Liguang Fortress, and asked everyone to do their best.
Hold on, as long as the Royal City battle group reaches the front line, everything will be fine.
The intelligence from Liguang Fortress made Steel Hand worried and proud at the same time. He was worried that the overall situation was not good, but he was proud that the situation in Jianguan was stable.
But he also knows that this is all the result of the reinforcement team from the royal city.
The strength of this team has repeatedly exceeded his expectations. Among them, the firekeeper Moore is simply the person who knows the monsters best. He always adds the most appropriate phlogiston to the fire at the most appropriate time, and it is reasonable.
Increase firepower to cause the most accurate damage to monsters.
Efficiency is their only evaluation of him.
And Moonlight Bach has simply become the core of their defense. Whenever this powerful moon archer stands on the city wall, nothing can threaten the people on the wall.
An Ye is also a very powerful short-range killer, capable of both offense and defense, and is flexible and quick. Whenever a flyer falls into the wall, he will be at the front to fight the monster, greatly reducing the pressure on other personnel. p>
In addition, there are excellent close combatants such as Beorwood, Raistlin, and Annabeth, top field controllers such as Egg, excellent healers such as Caramon, etc., etc.
Of course, the most unusual one among them is Rhodes.
This guy's data on paper seems to be extremely low, and his several fire names seem ridiculous, but in fact he is the most unexpected and unpredictable guy.
In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the personnel, Gangshou stipulates that the continuous combat time of each combatant shall not exceed six hours, and the intense combat time shall not exceed three hours.
But generally speaking, most of them can't hold on for that long, and they have to come down to the fire protection sacrificial site to meditate and recover in about five hours.
And this guy can't wait to stay on the city wall for sixteen hours a day, making silver bullets and thunder stone statues for free.
The most outrageous thing is that there is no such material stored in Jianguan, but he keeps using it without knowing where it comes from.
But as long as I ask him, the answers are "You don't understand", "Have you seen it?", "Is it strange that people with fire abilities have some strange abilities?" "I spend my own money!" Such answers.
It leaves people speechless.
Originally, this guy had some restraint, until the regular supplies from the Giant's Fortress arrived, including a lot of real silver bullets and thunder stones.
He immediately and unceremoniously took it all for himself, claiming that it was all reimbursed to him.
Gangshou tried to explain that this was a supply of supplies. Even if there was no such item in the reimbursement, it would not be delivered at this time.
"Then treat it as reimbursement! If anyone is dissatisfied, have a handjob competition with me. If you win, I will give it all to him."
After saying these words, he moved everything into his room.
Rhodes knew very well that the only person here who had a better handjob than him was Mina, but she couldn't argue with him in the basement, so it must be his.
No one really cares about it, he is the only one here who can exert their effects most efficiently.
Anyway, this guy sleeps on the city wall almost every day, and he can't pull him down. If he pulls him hard, he will say: "Do you know what grass is?" It will choke people and make them speechless.
The fire type "grass" is indeed very strong, making everyone drool with envy.
Only after using the "instant fire" psychic cannon will Rhodes go down to the city wall to rest.
Everyone originally reserved the spot for him at the fire protection sacrificial site, but he actually went back to his room to sleep.
In this regard, his explanation is: "I don't like having men around when I close my eyes."
This lustful speech made everyone very speechless. Even if Gangshou forced nine female combatants to accompany him to meditate and recover, and there was also Fire Keeper Moore in the Fire Keeper Sacrifice, he would not be able to leave. So everyone had to reluctantly accept his kindness.
But no one knows that Rhodes can actually continue fighting after using up the [Psychic Quartet].
But once he uses [Awakening], there will be strong side effects, disrupting his combat pace, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
It's better to come back and have a good rest, enter the dream world and sort out the harvest.
Moreover, the monsters did not crowd in front of the sword pass like a tide for them to slaughter. They came in groups, with each group containing about three hundred to four hundred. The intervals were variable, sometimes very short, sometimes slightly longer. Most of the monsters that come to Sword Pass are unleveled, that is, in unformed form.
There are not many fully formed level monsters.
There are even fewer monsters above level 1.
Except for rare circumstances, after one shot of [Psychic Quartet], the cleaning efficiency becomes low, so there is no need to forcefully use [Awakening] to continue the battle.
It’s hard to find excuses.
Efficiency is the most important thing. Although there are many reserves of real silver bullets and thunder stones, they are not unlimited.
However, even so, during this period, Rhodes can obtain about 10,000 soulless souls every day. If a strong monster appears and uses [Psychic Quartet], it can reach more than 20,000. p>
This efficiency has exploded.
If someone could see Rhode's true expression, they would find that his mouth was crooked in a smile.
This trip was simply the right decision for him, and joining the secret branch was the most important step in his life.
Here, he has grown by leaps and bounds.
He finally understood why he looked so weak before, because he was weak to begin with.
Looking back now, when I tried to defeat the dream invaders with spiritual spears and thunder stones, it was just like trying to kill him with SARS.
Unless the invaders are released into the sea, it is impossible to win.
Rhodes' soul strength is growing every day, but most people are unaware of it, and it is difficult for spirit guns and thunder stones to show this change.
Only when he used [Psychic Quartet], several stronger combatants such as Dark Leaf and Steel Hand felt that he seemed to have become stronger.
In this regard, Rhodes explained: "There is no road in this world. The more you shoot, the more familiar the road will be."
Darkleaf and Steelhand's understanding of this is that he has greater control over fire.
This is certainly a good thing.
The existence of Rhodes has greatly reduced the pressure on Jianguan defense, allowing more combatants to have more time to rest and recover, indirectly reducing the risk of injury, and eliminating the situation after long-term exhaustion battles lead to injuries and attrition.
An even more erosive vicious cycle.
Without this reinforcement team, the current situation would be unimaginable.
Steel Hand has made up his mind that no matter what, after the war is over, he must obtain the greatest benefits for them.
In this way, with everyone's efforts, the situation in Jianguan improved rapidly.
If nothing else happens, Jianguan can definitely become the most outstanding stronghold in this black tide.
Everyone became optimistic, and the sound of laughter once again appeared in the Jianguan Fortress under heavy pressure.
Team leader Heiyu is already planning his wedding. After this battle, he plans to return to the royal city to propose to his fiancée.
He was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days. He kept describing the beautiful life in his dreams to his teammates on the city wall, and sincerely invited his favorite little brother Rod to be their witness.
Rhode frowned when he heard this.
What are you doing?
Are you allowed to say this kind of forbidden language?
