A vine growing wantonly on the ground is as thick as an adult's thigh. Its lignified skin has the texture of a dead tree, but it gives people a faint feeling of life. If you touch it, you can detect a slow frequency.
The pulse is like blood pumping in the blood vessels.
Looking along the end of the vine growth, the slender end branches are like reeds, standing upright and dancing gently. But if you look closely, you will find that the thin whiskers on the "reeds" are densely covered with hooks and thorns. Once entangled in the human body,
Just tear off a layer of flesh!
At this moment, a translucent humanoid construct was seen running into the "reed swamp" at a constant speed, and the vines spreading on the ground suddenly came to life. The construct without a specific face jumped left and right, but in the end it could not avoid the vines that entangled its hands, feet, and limbs.
The thorns of vines and reeds tried to tear apart the construct, but were unable to break the tough outer skin.
"No, this kind of blood-sucking vine can only deal with unarmored enemies. Even if Granfaz doesn't have very advanced metal smelting technology, it's still no problem to provide soldiers with full-body leather armor."
Xuan Weizi flicked his fingers, and the improvised starlight construct disintegrated into a liquid and mucus-like starlight body. The silver mist shrouded the body, and the tentacles extended, turning into a starlight creeping monster with no stable form. In turn, it struggled with the vampire vines.
stand up.
Ta Valon said on the side: "The activated vines are more used for entanglement and binding effects. If we use this to slow down the enemy's pace and cooperate with magic attacks, will it be effective?"
I saw the vampire vines being torn apart by the starlight creeping monster. The thick vines were torn off, and the thick sap was thrown everywhere.
"If it is used for entanglement and restraint, the strength of the vines may not be comparable to swords and weapons." Xuan Weizi shook his head.
In a magical spring located deep in the mountain forest, all kinds of strange plants from the Green Ring are constantly absorbing magical energy and growing crazily. The trees grow with an endless creaking sound. Many Green Ring druids are here.
Be careful when casting spells to channel the natural energy within the plant.
In order to cope with the coming war in the near future, Xuan Weizi commissioned the Green Ring to develop various plants that can be used in battle. From exploding persimmons that can explode, to divine berries that can heal injuries and restore physical strength after being eaten, and after
Simple extraction of tree sap has the effect of "tree skin technique".
Of course, there are also magic vines that can grow from a pea, which can be used to whip and entangle enemies, and have the effect of sucking blood and applying poison; there are also piranha flowers with large bloody mouths that can swallow adults in one bite.
In short, this place is an arsenal without flame blast furnaces and metals, manufacturing all kinds of horrifying magical plants.
Ta Valon said to Xuan Weizi: "If you want to lay out plant traps on a large area, it will be difficult to ensure their strength. After all, it is not an adventure team dealing with dozens of monsters, but a large-scale trap that can destroy thousands of enemy arrays."
Plant trap.”
"Glenfaz's soldiers are not fools. They will not rush into the dense jungle when they see it. The druid's plant spells also have a casting distance, so the trap of activated plants is more effective." Xuan Weizi played with one in his hand.
Magic pea.
Tar Valon asked: "If we want to set up a trap, the mage should also have a way, right?"
Xuan Weizi pondered: "The large arcane rune traps and magic fluctuations are probably too conspicuous. It is better to use the natural environment as a cover for the magic plants. But for now, this is the only way. Use vines to destroy the formation, and then use plastic energy to
Fixed-point bombing using spells can ensure effective killing of ordinary soldiers."
"The number of people Granfaz can currently send to attack Pile Town is estimated to be unlikely to exceed 20,000. Moreover, the war drags on for too long, which is not good for them. A peace treaty cannot really stop the Imperial Legion." Tava.
Long explained: "In addition to the Ouroboros tribe, there are now four other large tribes in Glenfarz. I guess the Sons of Holy Scale will mainly mobilize their manpower to participate in the war."
"Are you taking the opportunity to consume the strength of other tribes?"
The reason why the Tail Giant Snake Tribe can dominate other tribes.”
Ta Valon said: "The Sons of Holy Scale divide the people of the Ouroboros tribe into four major castes. Among them, the Bloodkissed species are mainly responsible for sacrifices and spellcasting. They are also the caste that can cultivate legal spirit messengers."
"Legal?" Xuan Weizi asked.
"Doctor Olanso, you must also understand that as long as the population of the tribe is large, even if there is no warlock blood, there will occasionally be people who are naturally attracted to magic effects. The Bloodkissers are only a minority in the entire tribe, and they cannot stop others.
The tribesmen of the caste occasionally perceive spirits and master crude spirit magic." Tar Valon said:
"In order to maintain the status and noble nature of the Bloodkissed species, naturally only they can legally become spirit messengers. Once low-caste people, such as thin-tailed species, have the talent for spirit spells, they usually end up becoming living sacrifices."
"Or the raw materials for magic items." Xuan Weizi now also knows a lot about Glanfaz.
"That's right." Tavalon said: "Grandfaz's magic item making skills are still at the level of utilizing magic power. They also discovered that the vitality and soul of living creatures are the main source of magic power. So in the title
The development and growth of the Tail Giant Snake tribe also includes the intention of attacking and suppressing other tribes, so external wars are often accompanied by plundering the population as living sacrifices for the Bloodkissed species. Not to mention the Holy Scale Festival."
"But this is not a long-term solution after all. At war with the Imperial Legion, not many people can be plundered by Glanfaz."
Is it an expansion process of plundering external populations and carrying out bloody human sacrifices? But in this way, the Ouroboros Serpent Tribe and other tribes have almost irresolvable blood feuds."
"So the status of the Son of the Holy Scale and the Totem Master can be imagined." Ta Valon said: "If I guess correctly, doctor, your plan is still to defeat the Son of the Holy Scale and the Totem Master, right? If the ending
The strength of the Giant Snake Tribe has suffered a serious loss, and the tribes within Glanfaz will naturally become restless."
"The leader of a group and organization is the strongest, but also the most vulnerable. The pressure you and I have to face is no less than the opposite."
Soldiers are nothing more than turning a short war into a long-term confrontation, which is not a good thing for the still weak Chai Dui Town... huh?"
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a strange cry in the distance. It sounded a bit like a horse's neighing, but also close to an elephant's roar. In short, it was hard to tell what kind of animal it was. Then there was the sound of a branch breaking and a leaf scurrying deep in the forest.
A monster appeared, and its huge body crashed to the ground, causing the vines to break and dust to fly.
What appeared in front of Xuan Weizi and Ta Valon was a creature that had never appeared on the map. It had a pair of complex-shaped deer crowns with numerous branches on its head. It had a slightly stooped body and loose black hair all over its body.
Half of the torso and legs are like a cow, but the front half of the torso is closer to a carnivorous beast. The long and pointed head and face are like a bear and a wolf. The slender arms are like a gorilla, and there is a shrinking flesh membrane from the arms to the ribs.
, the dexterous fingers of both hands can hold objects like normal humans, but the sickle-shaped sharp claws don't seem to need weapons at all.
In short, it is such an alien-looking thing, as if it is parts of different animals randomly put together. Just its appearance here gives off a breathtaking and coercive aura.
"This, this is the original beast?!" Tar Valon was startled, carefully identifying the grand aura flowing around the monster: "'The power of the bull', 'The tenacity of the bear', 'The elegance of the cat', 'Owl'
'Wisdom', 'Death-proof Barrier'... Why are there so many? And they are all supernatural powers? Even more effective than the original spell?"
I saw this strange-looking monster shrunk, and after the violent magic fluctuations, Onvino appeared with a deer crown on his head and a tall figure wearing animal skins. He fell to the ground and laughed and said: "This is what Dr. Dode Olanso taught me."
The one called, called, called..."
""Hundred Beasts Swallow Forms"." Xuan Weizi reminded.
"Yes! "A Hundred Beasts Swallow Forms"! This name is really hard to pronounce. Is it the language of some distant country?" Onvino looked at Xuan Weizi and saw that his expression was still immersed in the joy of gaining great power.
"It's quite far." Xuan Weizi replied with a smile, but did not elaborate.
Not long ago, Onvino approached Xuan Weizi, a high-level Druid who behaved like a beast. He didn't bother to please him with any nonsense. He came up and asked Wolf how he could maintain his sanity during the violent transformation.
Naturally, Xuan Weizi would not pass on the magic in vain, but Onvino simply took out the magic plant seedlings and cultivation techniques he had collected. Compared with Tar Valon, who built an oak holy residence that focused on defense,
The magic plants mastered by Onvino are more focused on offense and destruction. Nowadays, the plants cultivated in the magic spring here are basically provided by Onvino.
In contrast, after Xuan Weizi understood Onvino's situation and needs clearly, he did not teach Wolf's "Five Dragons Holding the Saint Form Refining Method", but taught him part of "Hundred Beasts Swallowing Forms"
This high-level druid is good at body transformation.
Because Xuan Weizi discovered that psychic powers seem to be flexible and changeable, and there are also powers such as "super state changes", after the physical furnace changes, it is more like changing a set of clothes. Moreover, many Taoist magical powers are still based on the body and mind.
The unified golden elixir cauldron cannot be used after using "super state change".
And even if you have the power of "super transformation", you can't change anything you want, especially if you have a good understanding of the changing creatures, so as not to turn into some deformed monster.
Xuan Weizi himself can only change into some common animals or ordinary inanimate objects. But in this way, the special bonus brought by "super state change" is far less than the cost of prohibiting Taoism and magical powers. This is also
The reason why Xuan Weizi rarely uses this method.
In fact, this situation just shows that Xuan Weizi does not have a deep understanding of the changing characteristics of this world, or it is a part that was ignored in Taoist practice in the past, and it is a barrier to knowledge and vision left by the practice experience in the previous life.
After all, body change is a very difficult thing on earth, and the human body coincides with the Qi of heaven and earth. Therefore, the cultivation of the human body does not need to deliberately pursue the merit of body change. Instead, monsters want to transform into the human body.
Even so, the mountain monster has to go through the catastrophe of being reborn before it can truly possess the human body. Moreover, it only changes back and forth between the human body and the original body. It is impossible for a sheep to turn into a wolf and a fish to turn into a bird. Kunpeng's transformation, then
It is a typical power of the Immortal Family, far beyond what ordinary cultivators and monsters in the mountains can fathom.
However, after seeing Angwei Nuo, Xuan Weizi immediately thought of "Swallowing the Shape of Beasts". The fundamental purpose of this ancient fairy law is to transcend the changes in living beings and races, and the change of body, swallowing the shape of beasts is the second.
From the perspective of masters such as Xuan Weizi, the sages who created "Hundred Beasts Swallowing Forms" should have reached a state of spiritual practice from rebirth to transcendence, understood the mystery of creation in the evolution of living beings, and realized that the Great Dao is not only
Only in the human body, but also among all living beings, it actually implies a path for all living beings.
Xuanweizi did not discuss these matters with Onvino in detail. Since this druid was good at body transformation, Xuanweizi did not mind using him to prove his immortality.
"Hundred Beasts Swallowing Forms" records one of the most advanced "dragon-swallowing forms". In fact, this method is to integrate the vital rhythms and blood talents of different birds and animals into one, so as to have a "horn-like shape"
A deer has a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like an ox.
This made Xuan Weizi very amazed, because this method hinted that the "shape of swallowing the dragon" directly refers to the transcendent race of living beings. The dragon not only represents a powerful life existence, but also the complete integration of different life states and physical and mental modes.
If you can really "swallow the shape and transform into a dragon", it is very likely that you will be able to achieve the status of an earthly immortal!
Xuan Weizi also thought about the giant dragons in this world. Although the two may be very different in form, the existence that can compete with the ancient giants may have a life state comparable to that of otherworldly creatures.
If there is any type of people in this world who can best get along with animals, it is probably the druids, especially druids like Onvino who master the wilderness transformation and are close to "shapechangers".
Sure enough, after Xuan Weizi taught "Hundred Beasts Swallowing Forms", Onvino went into hiding and retreated. Now he came out and reappeared, and he actually had multiple animal forms in his body at the same time.
Although from the outside, it looks closer to a magical synthetic beast that the mage failed in his experiment, its strong vitality and numerous supernatural effects that cannot be dispelled truly prove that this method is indeed feasible!
However, after asking, Xuan Weizi learned that Angwei Nuo had originally transformed into the form of a single animal, which could last for up to ten hours, ensuring that he could hunt in the wilderness for a long time. However, now in the form of "Hundred Beasts Devouring Form"
Driven by the force, the composite beast body after the "wilderness transformation" found it difficult to even sustain it for two or three minutes.
"Fortunately, I have experienced countless dangers and hardships in the wilderness. You don't know that in that deformed state, it was like walking on the edge of a cliff with violent storms, thunder and lightning, and my consciousness could not relax for a moment... Olanso
