Legend has it that Panda is an ancient mythical beast and the mount of the ancient demon god Chi You.
There are also names such as white crab, brave, and jackal. The most famous one is of course the iron-eating beast.
Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty also explained this animal in "Erya Shi Beast". It resembles a bear, has a small head, is black and white, and can lick copper, iron and bamboo bones.
Whether it is said that they feed on gold and iron, or that their claws and teeth are so sharp that they can chew gold and iron, it all shows that this thing is truly extraordinary.
Later generations generally believe that the reason why Panda is called an iron-eating beast is because it is rumored that when there is no salt to eat, it will break into the villagers' homes and lick the remaining salt from the iron pot. The villagers do not understand Panda.
Due to its unique habit, it mistakenly thought that this strange bear-like beast was eating iron, hence the name Iron-Eating Beast.
However, the Classic of Mountains and Seas says that the iron-eating beast was Chi You's mount and participated in the battle with the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor's mount was the ancient divine dragon Yinglong. If you can fight against such a being, even if you lose in the end, it will be an honor even if you lose.
Panda murmured in human words:
"If the legend of Shan Hai Jing is true, then Panda is definitely a powerful being comparable to a giant dragon."
At least John discovered that in terms of the ability of the Pangda he transformed into, it was definitely a kind of extraordinary monster, even much more powerful than the sub-dragon beast Flame Basilisk that Mark encountered in the Plague World.
After receiving that information, John understood that when he was in the Panda state, his skills such as climbing, hiding, listening, biting, and clawing, as well as attributes such as toughness, reflexes, and will were much better than those in the human state.
Racial bonus.
In addition, he has mastered four supernatural abilities: spiritual minions, dark vision, threatening aura, and gold-eating.
Let’s talk about the spiritual minions first. According to the game, his teeth and claws in the Panda form will be regarded as magic weapons with damage 1. In other words, not only will he have stronger minions, but he can also attack like magic weapons.
Spiritual and incorporeal creatures.
The effect of the threatening aura. When the Panda form is fighting or angry, it will generate a righteous energy. Any hostile creature that enters within a 20-foot radius must pass a will test to resist its effect, otherwise it will be attacked.
The defense level and morale are weakened. This effect can last for more than an hour until the time expires or is broken by other attacks or spell effects.
"Isn't this equivalent to a weakened version of the dragon's power effect?"
With the above mentioned, John felt that his wild transformation might be much more powerful than his own frontal combat effectiveness.
As for the last gold-devouring ability, it does not involve any attack or defense in combat, but it is the ability that surprises John the most.
This ability does not mean eating gold, but in Panda form, he can chew various metals, then digest them in his stomach for several hours, and transform them into magic metals with various spiritualities, and then from
Vomited out of the stomach pouch.
"This ability is like turning rocks into gold, and it's like a bug that lays golden eggs!"
Through this period of understanding, John certainly understands that magic metal is very rare in the extraordinary world. Many low-level extraordinary people may not be able to get a weapon made of magic metal in their lifetime, so the price is very touching.
Although the properties of his ability to create magic metal are not certain, there is a high probability that it is an ordinary magic ore that is slightly stronger and sharper. The probability that it can be transformed into treasures such as fine gold and mithril is very low, but it can be sustained if it is not withstood.
Production!
Low-level magic metals are also magic metals, and demand exceeds supply regardless of their properties.
"Uh! My way of making magic metal is a bit different, but luckily I spit it out instead of pulling it out, otherwise I would be really embarrassed to see others!"
A cute Panda is holding his chin with one paw in the bathroom, looking like a thinker. If the fat friends in the past life who were sucking bears all day long saw it, they would definitely scream about this Panda.
Cum!
When John came back to his senses and saw his own appearance in the mirror, his face suddenly heated up, and then he canceled the transformation in embarrassment.
Because wild transformation is a magical power, all items worn or carried by the natural caster before transformation will be fused with the new form, but will have no function. After the druid returns to his original form, the fused items will appear in
to its original position and restore functionality.
Overall, John is quite satisfied with the types and effects of his wild transformation.
In fact, thinking about Panda, it's okay. At least he's cute and powerful. He has to thank the Father of Nature for not letting him turn into one of those mythical beasts on the Internet in his previous life.
Fortunately, it's not an auspicious animal like an alpaca that only spits saliva, otherwise it would be really grass and mud...
After finishing his wild transformation, John felt that his understanding of the natural realm was deeper, and then he found that he had upgraded.
In deep communication with the surrounding natural environment, he naturally broke through level 5 and upgraded to level 6 ranger, officially becoming an extraordinary professional.
He understands this, and this upgrade is reasonable, because his own accumulation has actually far exceeded that of ordinary level 6 bronze professionals.
"The effect of the spiritual enlightenment of natural sacrifice, two inaugurations and two five-party refining methods, is that even a pig can produce an extraordinary pig."
Then John concentrated on feeling the improvement gained from this upgrade.
After doing the math, after reaching level 6, he now has five special abilities: animal companion, spontaneous spellcasting, wild transformation, walking through the forest, and traceless step. Compared with level 5, he only has one more traceless step.
The function of this ability is that it will not leave any traces in the natural environment and cannot be tracked. You can also choose to leave traces when needed.
"Coupled with its ability to travel through forests, my strength in natural habitats such as forests and jungles will definitely increase by more than 50% compared to now. Sure enough, a ranger still has to live in the forest! Maybe in that case I would have already upgraded."
However, John said that, but he had no idea of entering the forest to live in seclusion for the time being. After all, human beings have been thinking for decades and are accustomed to group living. If he were allowed to live in a forest for decades like his teacher Fandral,
I guess he either went crazy or became Robinson Crusoe, a savage like the white-haired girl.
Among the five special abilities of the ranger profession, John has never used the ability of spontaneous spell casting. This ability can convert the stored spell energy into a previously unprepared summoning spell. In other words, you can choose to give up a preparation.
A good spell to cast a summon nature ally spell of the same or lower level.
However, he had previously obtained the 2nd level spell to summon natural allies. As the previous highest spellcasting level, he no longer had to convert another 2nd level spell, Blazing Sphere, into a summoning spell.
The summoning of natural allies at level 1 actually does not have much impact on the battle. After all, most of the summoned objects at level 1 are small animals. They can at most be used for harassment, reconnaissance or sending messages. Therefore, this ability seems very useless.
John paid very little attention to it.
Now that I have reached level 6 and gained a new 3rd level spell, this ability comes in handy.
The new 3rd level spell is a healing spell that cures moderate injuries.
This spell is an upgraded version of his 0-level spell that treats minor injuries. In the middle, there is a 1-level spell that treats minor injuries. You can also get it with this upgrade.
John frowned slightly and said:
"Does this want me to develop into a nanny? I want the strongest attack spell in the third level of natural spells, Thunder Summoning, okay?"
The power of driving thunder is the highest magic in the eyes of Xuanmen practitioners in Middle Earth, and John is naturally not exempt from this practice.
However, John thought about it again and realized that this was actually quite good. After all, his main battle was still swordsmanship. Although he had not used it much during these crises, it was because the enemy was too strong, not because his swordsmanship was weak.
In fact, his teacher Fandral also said that his swordsmanship is already very good, and he can probably fight with swordsmen of the same level.
"I am also a bronze-level transcendent. I have various auxiliary spells and healing spells, which greatly enhance my combat effectiveness and durability. With my sword skills to fight against enemies, I avoid the fragility of combat professions such as rangers and swordsmen who have high merit and low health.
If your skin is weak, you can pretend to be a shield fighter and have a wild battle, right?"
