At the bottom of the corridor, Mo Lan tried little by little, his fingers dancing rapidly in front of him. The originally obedient spell model became wild and unruly at this moment.
The spell model collapsed again and again, and Mo Lan's magic power soon bottomed out.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, while mechanically refining magic power with a mental vortex, Mo Lan also began to recall dozens of previous experiments.
The magic power consumption of the Stone Wall Technique is very low, and it took Mo Lan nearly fifty experiments to use up all the magic power.
The experiment done by Mo Lan was also very simple, drawing a spell model and inputting magic power.
Originally, the step of inputting magic power is very fast. Basically, as long as the spell model is formed, it means that the spell casting is completed, and inputting magic power only takes a moment.
But during the experiment, Mo Lan deliberately suppressed the speed of this step in an attempt to prolong the time.
Just because this step was prolonged, the already formed spell model collapsed directly.
If it were anyone else, they might have given up at this time.
But Mo Lan always felt that something was wrong.
"Based on the structure of the spell model, it can exist independently, but why does it collapse as soon as I extend the time?
No, no, there must be something wrong somewhere.”
Mo Lan may not know much about the second-level spells now, but he really put a lot of thought into the first-level spell model.
Mo Lan did not go too far to study the second-level spells because he understood that the second-level spells were more complicated than the first-level spells, and many of the model structures of the second-level spells overlapped with the structure of the first-level spells.
As long as you understand the first-level spell models thoroughly, then studying the second-level spell models will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. And if you can't thoroughly study the first-level spells, then studying the second-level spells is just nonsense.
How can we talk about a tall building rising from the ground if its foundation is full of holes?
Therefore, Mo Lan is very sensitive to unclear things happening in the first-level spell model. Once something appears that is beyond his calculations, his attention will be focused instantly.
This is the spell model that should not collapse now, and the same is true for the problem of how to distinguish living things from non-living things when studying Stoneskin. Mo Lan has been studying it and never gave up.
This time, Mo Lan didn't even bother to enter the corridor. He built a small step for himself on the spot, sat down and continued to study.
"Why do spell models crash?"
When the magic power in his body was exhausted, Mo Lan refined the magic power. Once the magic power was full, Mo Lan continued to experiment.
Time and time again, with Mo Lan's intense mental focus, he finally found some clues.
"It seems...it seems that when I input the magic power, it is not smooth enough, and the spell model shakes every time.
Each time the amplitude is not large, but as time increases, a small amount adds up to a large amount, and then the spell nodes and magic lines are displaced, directly causing the spell model to collapse?"
"If that's the case, then just stabilize the magic power input or fix the spell model."
Mo Lan thought for a while, then compressed it again while outputting mental power from his fingertips, compressing the magic power evenly into a line.
Every trace of magic power input into the spell model is uniformly linear and output uniformly, no more, no less. This is not a problem at all for Mo Lan, who has extremely precise control.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
As expected, Mo Lan felt happy, but at this moment, the magic line fluctuated, and the spell model reached the critical point and collapsed!
"Huh, at least the method is feasible."
A smile appeared on Mo Lan's face and he repeated the experiment again.
This time he remained calm throughout the whole process and output magic power evenly. However, when the spell model lasted for twenty seconds, Mo Lan suddenly discovered that more and more magic power was needed to maintain the spell model's existence.
In addition to the consumption of inputting magic power, the consumption of maintaining the spell model is also increasing. With the simultaneous advancement, the magic power in Mo Lan's body is consumed rapidly like a floodgate opening.
One minute!
This is Mo Lan's limit. In one minute, the magic power in his body will be exhausted. Three-fifths of the magic power consumed is used to maintain the existence of the huge spell model, and only two-fifths of the magic power is actually input into it.
Go inside the spell model.
At this moment, Mo Lan felt tired in his mind.
"Using fingers to output, and then using mental power to restrain and shape it is too mentally demanding and too tiring. It would be nice if there was someone who could directly help me complete this step."
Although Mo Lan was tired, he still looked at the huge spell model in front of him with satisfaction.
The originally small stone wall spell model had expanded several times, and it was as big as a person's head when it was suspended in front of Mo Lan.
As Mo Lan cut off the magic power output and input the final parameters, the spell model turned into a streak of yellow light and disappeared into the collapsed corridor in front of him.
Silently, the soil in front of him spread up, down, left and right.
One meter, two meters, three meters, four meters, five meters!
A five-meter-long corridor appeared instantly, and both the sloping ground and vertical walls around it became delicate and hard. Mo Lan stabbed it with a dagger, leaving only a shallow scratch.
Mo Lan stroked the scratch lightly and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, hahaha."
The laughter echoed in the long and narrow corridor, lasting for a long time.
After the agitated mood calmed down, Mo Lan began to go deeper.
It kept going diagonally deep into the ground. When the hardness of ordinary spells could not support the pressure of the surrounding soil, Mo Lan began to use the techniques he had just developed to cast spells.
At first, it went down five meters at a time, and then gradually became shorter as the pressure increased.
Five meters, four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter.
When Mo Lan couldn't maintain the magic power in his body to reach down one meter, he stopped.
Here, it was pitch dark, and Mo Lan could no longer see the light at the end of the corridor.
Soon Mo Lan had difficulty breathing, so he used the Gust Wind Technique on his backhand.
The wind element in the environment is converted into air, providing Mo Lan with breathing.
After replenishing oxygen, Mo Lan began to open up a horizontal platform on the spot.
Expand meter by meter, forward, left and right, and upward.
Little by little, an underground space was opened up an unknown number of meters deep underground.
A square pillar is left at regular intervals as a support.
Both the pillars and the walls here have undergone the highest level of compression by Molan.
Every time, the whole body's magic power is output, but it is only compressed into a length of half a meter.
This is Molan's limit, the highest degree of compression density that can be achieved so far.
I took some time to go up and move a few boxes of black bread, bring down a few buckets of water, and then turn on the retreat mode underneath.
When the magic power is exhausted, I meditate to refine the magic power and conduct research on spells at the same time.
After recovery, continue to compress and open up underground space.
Eat black bread when you are hungry, drink water when you are thirsty.
In the dark underground, a four-by-four-by-three underground space was formed. Mo Lan smiled, fell to the ground and fell asleep.
During his sleep, his mental power quickly recovered, and when it returned to its full strength, Mo Lan suddenly woke up.
