Xu Ji finally finished his research on the magic circle and withdrew his mind. He felt extremely satisfied both physically and mentally, as if he had returned to a junior high school class.
This is a state of learning purely for the sake of learning, without any other demands.
Xu Ji hasn't tasted it for a long, long time.
Looking up, Xu Ji found that the sun had already risen in the sky.
I picked up my phone and saw that the battery was fully charged and it was already half past nine in the morning.
In other words, he squatted here for at least two hours!
After exhaling slightly, Xu Ji looked towards the canyon ahead.
This canyon is not too big, only about ten square kilometers.
The old god surrounded the entire canyon last night, laid out nearly twenty magic circles, and left him a sample.
Now, it's time for him to start putting it into practice.
So, Xu Ji stepped forward, along the path covered with thorns and weeds on the outside of the canyon, and began to look for the magic circle set up by the old god.
About fifteen minutes later, Xu Ji found the first magic circle at the entrance of a trail.
After looking at it carefully, Xu Ji began to judge: "This magic circle... seems to be a common magic circle at the entrance of Chinese villages..."
"The main purpose is to warn wild beasts and provide early warning..."
"Well...the old god made some slight adjustments..."
"There are more than a dozen subtle adjustments to the pattern of the array!"
Observing these different details carefully, Xu Ji gradually became happy: "So that's it..."
"The adjustment here is to allow the magic circle to adapt to the fierceness and tyranny of the True Fire of the Sun!"
"The adjustment here is to convert the runes originally used for vigilance and early warning into attack runes!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Xu Ji couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised, feeling proud of himself.
Because he discovered that even if he left the mythical world, he would no longer have Taoist-level magic power and Dharma eyes.
On this blue star, even if you are not above the level of foundation building, you can still find the changes in the details of the magic circle left by the old god.
This means that he can also rely on his own knowledge and vision, and use his own magic power to arrange similar magic circles on Blue Star.
He is no longer the novice who knows nothing about Taoism and magical powers.
He has grown up.
This discovery made Xu Ji extremely proud.
"Then... let me give it a try!" He said, stretched out his hand, carefully poured the true sun fire he had accumulated along the lines of the magic circle, little by little, and activated the core of the magic circle.
, activate the pattern of the magic circle and let the magic circle enter the awakening state.
Soon, Xu Ji discovered that this was a physical job!
Because, when infusing the true sun fire, you not only need to pay attention to adjusting the strength of the infused true sun fire at all times to adapt to the pattern of the magic circle itself.
If it is too strong, the fierce and domineering true sun fire may burn the lines of the magic circle and destroy the geographical landscape where the magic circle itself is located.
Not even if it’s too weak!
That will cause the core pattern of the magic circle to be unable to activate, and the core cannot be activated, which means that the entire magic circle may fail!
What's even more troublesome is that because Blue Star's spiritual energy is too thin, the core of the magic circle is extremely fragile.
Once the startup fails, the core must be redrawn.
And this is temporarily beyond Xu Ji's ability!
Although he understands magic formations, he can also set up formations.
However, this is Blue Star, which is completely different from the mythical world.
Therefore, Xu Ji could only concentrate on carefully restraining the true sun fire in his body.
Follow the lines and sense the runes in the circle.
Slowly fill it with the true fire of the sun.
And this made Xu Ji feel tired.
Exhaustion from the soul!
Soon, he began to pant, which was a sign that his mana was gradually running out.
Moreover, it is daytime now, and the sun is high in the sky.
Xu Ji, bathed in the sun, continues to absorb the power of the sun from the sun and transform it into the true fire of the sun.
As more and more of the Sun's true fire poured into his body, Xu Ji felt that his soul was filled with scorching flames.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
Every organ of the body is roasted by high temperature.
It also made him eager to cool down!
The fatigue of the soul is compounded by the double pain of the physical body and the soul.
Under this situation, Xu Ji's mind was inevitably affected.
After all, he is not a monk from the mythical world.
Nor do they have the firm Taoist heart of those Taoists who can endure all pain and torture in order to become immortals and realize the Tao!
Just two months ago, Xu Ji closed the convenience store because the weather was too hot and couldn't stand it anymore. He hid in the house upstairs to blow on the air conditioner and didn't open the door for several days!
One can imagine how much pressure he is under now!
Various thoughts occur frequently in my mind.
At one point, he wanted to give up charging, then jump into the river outside the canyon, and take a refreshing dip in the river water.
He even tried to release all the power of the sun accumulated in his body.
The idea of burning down all the nearby woods and thorns.
Fortunately, he withstood the pressure at the critical moment.
Persevering and panting, I completed the charging of this magic circle!
It's not that he can endure hardships and stand hard work.
He was holding on there with one breath!
"I can't let the old god down!"
He knew that the old god left these magic circles for him to recharge, which was actually a test.
In the world of mythology, Xu Ji has seen countless different tests experienced by countless people.
Generally, only those who pass the test can be taught certain Taoist and magical powers.
Although he didn't know if the old god had any intention of testing him.
But Xu Ji still seriously regarded this charging task as a test!
When he finally finished charging the magic circle, Xu Ji collapsed on the ground.
My whole body is starting to feel hot!
Fortunately, the golden fireworks swaying in the pores of the skin are constantly spurting out flames.
Exhausted a large amount of the power of the sun.
Moreover, the discharged power of the sun did not burn his skin.
Their temperatures are always maintained within a reasonable range.
Only then did Xu Ji realize that this was the back-up plan prepared by the old god for him.
Give him the possibility to complete his mission under the scorching sun.
So, it really is a test? Right!
With this thought in mind, Xu Ji immediately got up from the ground, enduring the scorching heat in his internal organs and the exhaustion and burning pain from his soul.
He found a shady rock crevice and began to meditate on his breath to calm the restless power of the sun in his body and soul.
At this time, he discovered that the 'low-temperature fireworks' left in the pores of the skin before the old god left could indeed effectively adjust the balance between his physical body and the true fire of the sun.
In just over ten minutes, he gradually recovered!
I picked up my phone and looked at the time, it was ten fifteen.
Xu Ji counted on his fingers, and then he was shocked: "Even adjusting the breath, it actually took me almost an hour!"
"At this rate, it's impossible for me to finish charging all the magic circles before the old god comes!"
Even if he could maintain the speed of one magic circle per hour, he still wouldn't be able to complete the task before the old god arrived!
What's more, he doesn't have that much time at all!
Don't forget, it will be noon soon!
At that time, the fierce sunlight will shine directly on the earth!
At that time, if he faced the scorching sun, circulated his magic power and poured into it the true fire of the sun.
That also means that he is actually running the skills passed down by the old gods.
Just like before, the physical skin will absorb the true fire of the sun in the sun!
Just like before!
According to Xu Ji's experience, the sun at noon is the most intense, and the true fire of the sun contained in it is also the most domineering!
Therefore, he never practices at noon.
He would practice in the evening and morning, when the sun was at its weakest.
So, in effect, from 12 noon to 3 pm, he has to stop charging.
If he were to recharge his energy in the scorching sun at that time, it would be like setting himself on fire!
Xu Ji understood that his current body could not withstand such a domineering and fierce power of the sun!
If you are not careful, you may cause damage to your physical body.
Judging from what he saw and heard in the mythical world, the physical body is the foundation of a monk!
Even if it is an immortal Buddha, if his real body is damaged, it will be fatal!
After taking a slight breath, Xu Ji told himself: "I must speed up!"
"Before twelve o'clock, I must complete the charging of at least four more magic circles!"
He must recharge four more magic circles in the next hour or so.
In other words, he must charge one every 20 minutes on average.
This is undoubtedly a difficult challenge for Xu Ji!
"I have to think carefully and plan carefully!"
At this time, the science and engineering man's thinking finally came online.
Xu Ji carefully recalled all the details of the time he just recharged, reviewing every detail of the memory of his muscles and soul.
At this time, the foundation-building monk's powerful memory was revealed.
He can remember every move and every adjustment he made just now.
His hands gestured in the air, and his magic power was mobilized silently.
Wisps of blazing sun flames as bright as gold escape from your fingers.
Drops of water fell, burning the rock in front of him until it started to smoke.
Because it is in a cool place, there is no direct sunlight.
This time Xu Ji only needed ten minutes to review the entire process.
“Awesome!”
"Again!"
Xu Ji continued the simulation with confidence.
Practice makes perfect, and this time he was faster.
It took less than seven minutes to review the charging process just now.
However, the rock in front of him had several holes burned out by the sun's flames dripping from his fingers.
There are some glassy substances appearing in some places.
Xu Ji was stunned when he saw this.
Although I have known for a long time that I am already a 'non-human'.
Even in a mythical world, he, a foundation-building monk, could challenge Jin Dan in a duel.
However, this kind of mere simulated charging can burn several holes in the hard stone.
The deepest one is even three to four centimeters.
This gave Xu Ji a sufficient understanding of his current destructive power and possible harm.
"If I do evil..."
"I'm afraid we'll be naming Blue Star's Most Wanted fugitive soon!" he murmured to himself.
…
Just when Xu Ji was reviewing and simulating.
In an underground cave deep in the jungle about thirty kilometers southwest of him.
Erhard leaned against the wall of the cave, nervously looking at the 'monster' that controlled him and his compatriots.
At this moment, the monster stood under the dark stalactites of this cave.
From his scalp grew brown arms and legs that looked like corn silk.
These arms and legs wrap around the stalactites on the cave ceiling, like suckers, firmly adsorbing on the stalactites.
Don't know what you are doing?
But one thing is for sure, when monsters do this.
Erhard found that he and his compatriots seemed to have gained a certain degree of freedom.
At least, he can move independently and walk around.
No longer controlled by the spores in the body, the entire central nervous system seemed to have been invaded and taken over by hackers.
Of course, this freedom is limited.
Erhard has tried it several times. Every time, as long as he walks within a radius of about 100 meters from the monster, the spores in his body will explode immediately.
Let him involuntarily return to a radius of 100 meters around the monster.
This made Erhard suspect that the spores in him and his compatriots were directly controlled by the monster.
Just like the relationship between some special demons and their offspring that have been discovered.
Many demon organizations support such demons.
Utilize the characteristics of this demon and ghost to artificially create an active area for demons and ghosts.
This will shift the ghost industry from nomadic herding to farming.
The euphemistic name is: scientific planning and rational layout.
Many small countries have become breeding bases for international consortiums.
Their people have become 'fodder'.
As for the top leaders of the country?
Of course I made a lot of money!
A country that once gave birth to examples of benevolent kings such as Mobutu, Duvalier, Lucasa, and Amin.
Now it has in fact become a breeding ground for multinational conglomerates.
To be honest, the place where Erhard was born would have been too barren and desolate.
I'm afraid it has already become a breeding ground for those multinational consortiums.
I was thinking about these things in my mind.
Wow…
There was a sound coming from the front. Erhard looked over and saw that the corn silk-like arms and legs growing out of the monster's scalp were retracting from the stalactites.
The monster's face without features also looked at Erhard and his compatriots.
"North!" The monster roared hoarsely from beneath its skin.
As Erhard listened, something suddenly occurred to him, so he mustered up the courage to step forward and ask in the poor Latin he had learned: "Dear Sir, what is there in the north?"
The tentacles that the monster was retrieving paused for a moment, and then two tentacles stretched out towards Erhard.
Only then did Erhard realize that the snouts of these thin arms and legs, which looked like corn silks to him, seemed to have countless thin fangs and sharp teeth.
Click!
The mouthparts on the wrist opened and something popped out.
They are two eyeballs connected by long brown vein-like whiskers.
The two eyeballs, controlled by the arms and legs, looked at Erhard carefully, and then the monster let out a low roar.
"There are trees in the north!"
"What tree?" Erhard already understood what the monster was referring to, but he still asked.
But the tension and fear inside were unbearable.
Because the monster responded to his question!
This means that this thing is intelligent!
Demons and ghosts are wise?!
This is an unprecedented discovery!
"malus!" the monster spat out an ancient word.
Erhard was stunned by this word: "Apple tree?".
Then he realized that the apple tree represented something else in ancient times and the Middle Ages.
Mistakes and original sin!
so……
What does monster mean?
Erhard felt chills all over his body, and he did not dare to think about the meaning contained in it!
