Chapter 172: Logistics Department Work (Part 3)

During the intense and short breaks in research, Jeming did not slack off for a moment.

That day, he uploaded the lava giant research report he had just completed, then put on his robes, and disappeared into the temporary laboratory in the center of the camp.

He did not rest or communicate with other wizards, but went directly to the battlefield where blood and flesh were flying a few days ago.

At this moment, the violent aftermath of the landing battle had dissipated, leaving only silence in the air.

But to the wizard's keen perception, this vast land is not without ripples.

In the landing battle a few days ago, wizard cannon fodder, lava giants, and snow monsters collided in this area. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, energy was rampant, and at least millions of lives were slaughtered.

Various energy particles intertwined chaotically, and in the wizard's perception, it became a huge chaotic energy vortex.

However, what Benjamin needs is not those things, but the "concept" left after this brutal battle!

In Jemin's vision, this area was filled with the lingering evil and deathly aura of the battlefield.

Benjamin walked lightly on the scorched earth, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood and the decay of death.

Underfoot were dried blood, broken weapons, twisted remains of biochemical beasts, as well as charred rocks and frozen corpses.

Every inch of land seems to have been torn and destroyed thousands of times.

After all, in this battlefield, besides him, there are also many low-level wizards doing "cleaning" work.

Some wizards wore rune gloves and carefully removed the remaining energy cores from the charred lava giant's body.

Some of them drove golems to sort and pile up the broken bodies on the battlefield, preparing for recycling.

There are even some wizards who delve into soul witchcraft, holding all kinds of strange containers, carefully collecting the remnants of souls that permeate this place.

Just like the souls and blood in the world of immortals can be transformed into spiritual power, the souls and flesh and blood in the world of wizards are good materials for many wizards.

Benjamin ignored the busy figures around him. He just chanted a spell and gently untied the Caisha gourd in his right hand from his waist.

The gourd was dark and ancient. Under the dim light of the runes, the mouth of the gourd slowly opened, forming a vortex that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

The invisible evil spirit and deathly energy that filled the air, carrying sorrow, anger, and a will to destruction, slowly flowed towards the mouth of the gourd as if being pulled by an invisible force, and were all sucked into it.

On the surface of the gourd, the originally dim marks were now beating at an extremely subtle frequency, slowly but steadily absorbing the negative energy.

He did not deliberately avoid others during the collection process.

After all, Benjamin's way of collecting "raw materials" is not even that conspicuous in this battlefield filled with all kinds of wizard tricks.

He even saw a wizard taking out a huge black flag not far away!

The flag fluttered in the wind, with countless twisted patterns of evil spirits painted on it. It seemed as if countless wronged souls were struggling in each pattern.

As the wizard cast his spell, the flags fluttered, stirring up gusts of eerie, cold wind.

Within a radius of several hundred meters, all the loose soul fragments and breath of death were swept in by the flag, emitting silent wails. The scene was weird and grand.

The strong visual effect made Jieming almost think that he had traveled to the world of immortal cultivation again and saw the legendary Ten Thousand Souls Banner!

"Really..." Jieming shook his head secretly. He withdrew his gaze and concentrated on absorbing the evil spirit.

Just when Benjamin was immersed in the ocean of evil spirit, he met several low-level wizards on the road.

They all seemed to be cleaning up the spoils of war on the outskirts of the battlefield, preparing to look for new hunting targets.

When they saw Benjamin, they couldn't help but reveal a hint of respect in their eyes, followed by skillful compliments.

"Ah, isn't this Master Jemin? You're also hard at work collecting?" A tired-looking first-level wizard stepped forward, his tone of intimacy in agreement. "You're truly hardworking. You actually do such a tedious job yourself!"

"I'm just adding to my own knowledge." Benjamin smiled slightly, his tone gentle and calm, like an ordinary scholar, "You've worked hard, too. Keep collecting."

"No, no, compared to you, our hard work is nothing!" Another Level 2 wizard immediately chimed in, his tone even more respectful. "If it weren't for the reports you published earlier, my team and I would probably still be worried about how to deal with those lava giants! I didn't expect that using sonic attacks and respiratory isolation could be so effective!"

"Yes, yes. I wonder if Mr. Benjamin has any new tactical analysis yet. We are all waiting to see..."

Benjamin handled them skillfully with just the right smile on his face, as if he was used to it.

He had encountered more and more such incidents in the past few days, and their compliments and thanks were all focused on one point - the analytical reports he had previously published on his research on the physiological characteristics of lava giants.

There was a twist in this that surprised Benjamin.

What he emphasized in his report was what he believed to be the most effective way to kill the lava giant in a short period of time: first use a low-temperature attack to stiffen its surface skin, and then use intensive physical attacks to destroy its fragile body.

This "low temperature plus physical attack" killing method was not taken seriously by low-level wizards.

However, the other two methods included in the report were regarded as the golden rule by low-level wizards and were widely sought after.

That is about using suffocation magic (or element suppression based on similar principles) to restrict the actions of the lava giant, and the later published method of using high-frequency sound waves to cause targeted damage to the lava giant's auditory tissue.

Both methods are surprisingly effective.

Regarding "suffocation witchcraft", Jemin explained in the report that although the lava giant is an elemental creature, it has the need to breathe.

This is not breathing oxygen in the traditional sense, but rather a "heat pump and element conversion" through cracks on the body surface and a special internal circulation system to maintain the stability of the core furnace.

Therefore, as long as these "breathing" cracks can be isolated, suppressed by elements, or directly blocked, the lava giant's heat balance and element flow can be forcibly disrupted, causing it to fall into stiffness or coma.

Wizards don't have to work hard to find weaknesses. They just need to use specific witchcraft to "suffocate" the behemoth and temporarily lose its ability to move.

Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to "suffocate" elemental creatures, but Benjamin did not expect that these wizards found the right witchcraft almost on the same day.

The reason lies in one of the nine ninth-level wizards in the witchcraft civilization.

This person's name is unknown. When a wizard reaches the ninth level, all relevant personal information will be blocked. Even if his life is known, only a code name is known.

This person's code name is "Breathing".

This code name comes from the direction of law research chosen by this wizard at the third level.

Normal wizards choose laws that are as advanced as possible, but this wizard chose to study the simple law of "breathing".

However, he later made great use of the law of "breathing". Basically, when he reached the fourth-level wizard, the law of "breathing" in his hands was already able to cut off the target's energy exchange with the outside world.

He generously published the relevant witchcraft models, and there was even a simplified version that low-level wizards could build, so finding a solution to suffocate the lava giant was much easier than Jemin had imagined.

The principle of "high-frequency sound waves" is even more ingenious.

In his report, Jemin speculated that the auditory system in the lava giant's body was composed of special mineral crystals.

Although it can sense seismic waves, its internal structure may be extremely fragile to high-frequency sound waves of a certain frequency, which can cause resonance and collapse of its internal crystal structure.

Based on this speculation, the combat wizards in front quickly tried to add specific high-frequency vibrations to high-intensity explosions or continuous wind magic.

The results showed that this high-frequency sound wave can directly penetrate the "rock skin" of the lava giant, causing violent shocks in its body, destroying the lava flow that maintains the balance inside it, causing it to suffer unbearable pain and even temporarily lose its ability to move.

The reason why these two methods are so famous, in addition to being unexpectedly effective, is that, most importantly, both methods allow wizards to easily capture the lava giant without harming its life!

This is the core reason why these two research results are popular among low-level wizards.

During the landing battle, the outcome of the battle between the two powerful monster kings (Kalamos and Agron) and Master Alvin was soon known to the wizards.

Faced with the powerful combat potential of the Flame Frost Plane, wizards naturally saw the great value of the natives of this plane.

For low-level wizards, the biggest gain of the Flame Frost Plane at this stage is not the resources visible to the naked eye, but the indigenous people of the two tribes themselves!

A living lava giant or snow monster is a walking treasure for low-level wizards like them.

Whether they are captured and used as slaves or experimental subjects for various witchcraft research, or transformed into biochemical beasts, golems or even wizard servants, they have immeasurable value.

A living lava giant can provide alchemists with the purest lava plasma samples, provide biological wizards with a unique body structure for research, and can even be used directly to create more powerful biological weapons.

Low-level wizards can even sell it to large wizard forces in exchange for amazing military merits and resources.

But before that, the powerful strength of the lava giant made it difficult for low-level wizards to capture it successfully.

Killing it directly is easy, but capturing it intact and preserving its abilities intact during the capture process is a problem of another dimension.

Jemin happened to provide an effective method. His two unintentional research results opened Pandora's box for low-level wizards, allowing them to capture lava giants safely and efficiently at a very low cost.

So, in a short period of time, Jemin became famous in the camp and became a highly respected "biology master".

Of course, Benjamin also knew that he became famous this time purely because of the simplicity of his research topic.

Although the physiological structure of the lava giant is unique, it is still a relatively rudimentary research direction compared to the laws of the entire plane and more complex biological types.

He knew that the camp was now filled with many higher-level and more experienced logistics wizards from the Norn Workshop, and even from the Tower of Annihilation and the Chaos Cult.

Among these people, there are many masters who have a deeper understanding of biology and plane laws.

Once they complete more in-depth research topics, they will definitely be able to analyze more effective and precise strategies and methods for the natives of this plane.

By then, his "little achievement" will soon be overwhelmed by the tide of history.

But these are not what he cares about now.

But no matter what, Benjamin didn't hate the feeling of being able to help more wizards and gain their recognition.
