On the grassland, a several-foot-long lizard crawled out from under a piece of weathered soil, ready to start a day of hunting.
But just when it had just climbed out of the nest and was only a few feet away from the rock, a yellow monster about ten feet long suddenly jumped out from the sand on one side. Its two front paws and mouth were used together, and it fiercely
He pounced on the lizard and easily bit off its neck, then picked up the body and ran away in a certain direction.
This monster has the same four-clawed long tail and a sharp beak. It looks like a huge lizard, but its body is hard and it makes a creaking sound when it runs. It is actually something like a mechanical doll.
After the monster ran for more than a mile, it came to a man in red who was sitting on a flat stone meditating. Then he threw the body next to the man and ran away again.
The man in red had no expression on his face and was not surprised at all.
He calmly moved his hand, and the lizard's body flew flatly in front of the man. It floated motionless several feet above the ground.
Then the man in red put an index finger on the lizard's head and muttered something.
After a while, the finger he extended slowly lit up, emitting a faint white light.
As the mantra was being recited, the white light became brighter and brighter, and gradually became a bit dazzling.
"disease"
The man in red roared when he saw that the heat was getting worse.
The white light on his finger suddenly shot out a white thread, which penetrated deep into the lizard's head from the fingertip, and then the man in red slowly tore back with some difficulty, his expression nervous and cautious to the extreme.
Finally, under the careful gaze of the man in red, the white line drew a green ball of light from the dead lizard body. It was as light as the size of a thumb.
When the man in red saw this, he felt as if he had found a huge treasure.
The other hand lit up, and a small pale yellow jade bottle appeared in the palm of the hand. Then with a pop, several rays of rays of light shot out from the jade bottle, and the green ball of light was rolled up and sucked into it.
At this time, the man in red breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead. It can be seen that the action just now really consumed a lot of energy on his part.
"This soul-pulling technique is really not something that monks in the early stage of foundation building can easily perform. The probability of success is too low. Only one success can be achieved every three or four times. It seems that I will be here all day today.
"The man in red looked at the small jade bottle in his hand and murmured to himself, with a helpless expression on his face.
This person is Bai Ran who is practicing the "puppet technique".
The reason why he appeared in this desert place nearly a hundred miles away from the spirit stone mine was because he was collecting the souls of these animals just like what he had done before. This is something that usually only people of the devil can do.
. appeared in Bai Ran's body entirely because he studied the "Puppet Scripture".
It turned out that after preliminary study on puppet refining, Bai Ran discovered that refining a puppet not only requires some materials commonly used for refining magic weapons, but also requires the souls of some living creatures to be melted together with the materials. Only then can it be truly completed. Otherwise, it will not be made.
The puppet has no spirituality and is no different from an ordinary doll.
The higher the level of the puppet, the stronger and better the soul condensed in it will be. Only in this way can the effectiveness of the puppet be brought into full play. For this reason, at the back of the "Puppet Manual", there is also a "soul-pulling technique" commonly used by people in the magic way.
Three spells including "Soul Condensation" and "Soul Refining".
Among them, the "soul pulling technique" is a spell that Bai Ran used just now to draw the soul out of the corpse.
This spell is not only weak in power and has a low success rate, but it can also only be used on recently deceased corpses. Compared with those magic secrets that specialize in souls, its power is vastly inferior!
However, the only advantage of this spell is that the level of mana required is extremely low, and it can be used normally in the middle stage of foundation building. Of course, a monk like Bai Ran in the early stage of foundation building can barely use it, but the success rate is not very high.
The "Soul Condensation Technique" is a spell to condense souls. After all, a powerful soul is not easy to find. Usually more advanced puppets use a few, a dozen, or even dozens of them to condense together.
A man-made powerful soul. Although this kind of soul is not as easy to use as a naturally powerful soul, it is still much stronger than using a low-level soul. Therefore, this kind of spell is also compulsory for learning puppetry.
The last "Soul Refining Technique", as the name suggests, is a magic that refines and transforms the soul. After all, it needs to be fused with the puppet. Ordinary souls will definitely not work. It still needs to be refined through special techniques.
As for the lizard-like mechanism beast just now, it was the first mechanism puppet that Bai Ran successfully refined after he practiced the puppet technique and developed his first independent spiritual thought. The soul it smelted was only
It was just a few squirrels he caught casually.
But before that, Bai Ran had failed to refine it seven or eight times, and the success rate was really not that high.
When Bai Ran attached his distraction to this puppet and ordered it to act, the feeling was really amazing! It was not like controlling a magic weapon.
The feeling of uncertainty is not as real as manipulating your hands and feet.
In fact, his distraction and the puppet beast seemed to be the relationship between superior and subordinate. Once he had an idea, the puppet would act according to his orders. How the other party acted depends on the puppet itself. Boiling.com can't help but
Bai Ran could clearly sense everything that the puppet beast could see and hear. This made him overjoyed.
Bai Ran, who was controlling a puppet beast for the first time, got a little childish in his playfulness. Except for this junior puppet beast that he refined himself, he played and manipulated all the more advanced mechanism puppets on his body. It made him quite happy.
He became addicted to the puppet show that he had dreamed of as a child.
While manipulating the activities of these puppets, Bai Ran gradually experienced some of the limitations of the machine puppets.
First of all, these puppets can only move within three miles of himself. Beyond this distance, these mechanism puppets will be unable to move, and the distractions will fly back. Bai Ran guessed that this should be related to his distraction being able to escape.
It is related to the limit distance of the subject. When the realm of cultivation and soul is mentioned, this can still be improved.
But the next flaw is the shortcomings of the puppetry itself, which cannot be made up for. There is a delay time between when these puppets receive orders and when they take action, and they cannot move as they wish. This is very difficult in actual combat.
Opponents may take advantage of this.
Even with these two flaws, this puppet technique is still extraordinary. As long as you branch out a few more spiritual thoughts and practice the first level of puppet technique, it will be enough to compete with the powerful characters in the foundation building period. After all, there are more people around you.
With a dozen or so helpers, even if they were only at the level of the Qi Refining Stage, it would be enough for him to protect himself.
At least when he is trapped by the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect again, he won't be afraid of the opponent's endless army of vampires. Because the actions of the low-level mechanism puppets only consume low-level spiritual stones.
Only the giant tiger puppet under the Qianzhu Sect's Huanglong Seat is so powerful that it consumes mid-level spiritual stones. However, Bai Ran estimates that it must be a puppet beast of level three or above.
The shields released by the famous foundation-building monks jointly did not dare to connect two attacks, which shows how terrifying its power is.
It's a pity that this puppet was reduced to ashes by my Uncle Lei with his magic weapon. Otherwise, if he could get his hands on it, it would definitely be an extremely sharp weapon.
When Bai Ran thought about the benefits of that kind of giant tiger puppet, Bai Ran couldn't stop feeling itchy. She became even more concerned about the refining of this machine puppet.
Finally, after refining dozens of primary mechanism puppets, Bai Ran decided to try to refine a second-level puppet. This was also the main battle puppet he had seen before, the main battle puppet used by Qianxiu Sect and others. As long as he could connect with this level
Puppet can also be refined, so you no longer have to worry about the consumption of puppets.
But for refining the second-level puppet, it is not just scrap copper and iron that can be used as raw materials. All the materials are almost of the same level as an upper-level magic weapon, especially the large amount of iron wood that is hundreds of years old.
The main raw materials for production are expensive.
In fact, if Bai Ran was in his own cave, cultivating a few old ironwoods would not be a big deal. But now that he had the responsibility, Bai Ran had no choice but to reluctantly let others collect many for him from the city.
Now that the materials are available, suitable souls still need to be collected. After all, the yellow rat souls that were the most common and most common in the canyon were too weak. Even if they were united together, there would not be a significant improvement.
So Bai Ran set his sights on the natural enemies of the weasels, the wasteland lizards.
At this time, after three or four months of hard training, Bai Ran had already separated out several spiritual thoughts. So he used these distractions to control several low-level puppet beasts and sweep the lizard nests all over the wasteland. Only then did he have the ability to
The very beginning scene.
After Bai Ran put away the vial containing the lizard soul, he closed his eyes again and continued to practice the "puppet technique" to slowly strengthen his soul.
This "puppet technique" is the key to using puppet technique, and Bai Ran doesn't dare to relax!
But speaking of it, the "Puppet Technique" is really the Qianzhu Sect's method of suppressing the teaching. Compared with the ordinary secret method and the "Puppet Technique", it is simply not worth mentioning!
The general mystic splitting technique is just to forcibly split the original spiritual thoughts into a small part. The number of divine thoughts that can be split depends entirely on the strength of each person's soul, and it cannot be changed later.
The puppet technique just makes up for this regret. After practice, it can gradually strengthen the original soul, which is comparable to those monks with extremely powerful soul talents. And the method it uses is to split the mind.
, it is also much safer and more delicate than the ordinary method. It can make the spiritual thoughts branch out smaller and more abundant, without affecting the normal state of the soul.
With such a comparison, it is no wonder that the people of Qianzhu Sect regard "Puppetry" as the foundation of the sect, and Senior Brother Lin has also never forgotten the formulas for the last three levels.
