Chapter 40 Limestone World

The dazzling blue light faded, and the distorted sense of space receded like the tide.

Benjamin found his feet on the ground, and after a moment of dizziness, he opened his eyes.

According to the previously planned action plan, Benjamin activated the talismanic magic weapon the moment the transmission ended.

In the blink of an eye, three layers of shields of different colors appeared around him.

It was not until then that Benjamin had time to carefully look at the surrounding environment. The dense crowds of people in the square disappeared, and only a desolate scene remained before his eyes.

Benjamin was standing in a vast wasteland, with gray, rugged rocky ground under his feet and a strange forest shrouded in thick fog in the distance.

In the distance, you can vaguely see mountains that are as rugged as bones.

The air was filled with a dry heat with a smell of sulfur, mixed with the unfamiliar odor of rotting vegetation, giving people a primitive and wild feeling.

"Huh?"

Benjamin cried out in surprise, and immediately realized that something was wrong - the elemental power that permeated this world was completely different from what he felt in Nolen Academy.

They are like wild horses that have broken free from their reins, extremely active and even violently unstable.

He could feel the fire element around him scorching hot as if it was about to burn, the wind element restlessly blowing past his ears, and the earth element so heavy it was almost solidified.

This is definitely not a gentle plane.

"The elemental forces are so violent... the destructive power of energy-based magic here will be greatly increased, but correspondingly, the requirements for the wizard's own mental control will also rise sharply. A slight mistake can cause the magic to go out of control and even backfire on the wizard."

Jemin stretched out his finger and tried to use his mental strength to attract the elemental power around him.

Looking at the energy ball that condensed and then quickly expanded, he immediately made a judgment in his mind.

This is...good news for him?

After all, his talisman magic weapon relies on the linkage between the talisman structure and environmental elements. This violent environment can make the talisman magic weapon burst out with greater power.

Of course, overly violent elemental power is likely to make the talismanic weapon more easily damaged.

However, from a testing perspective, this can also indirectly verify the stability of the talismanic magic weapon.

Looking around, the view is obstructed by the rolling terrain and tall vegetation in the distance.

The roars of wild beasts and the flapping of wings could be heard in the distance, but no specific threat could be seen.

"In this unfamiliar environment, danger could arise from nowhere. It seems that simply attacking, defending, and maneuvering are not enough for survival in the wild. Reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance are equally important, if not more so. Detecting potential threats and concealing one's movements... these are the keys to survival in unfamiliar environments."

Jieming immediately realized his shortcomings: "Not bad, I learned a little more."

Keeping the idea of ​​"giving priority to making reconnaissance-type talismanic magical devices next time" firmly in mind, Benjamin did not act in a hurry. Instead, he decided to test the performance of several of his existing talismanic magical device prototypes in this plane first.

The defensive talisman weapon has been released, and judging from its current performance, it is quite good.

Especially the earth attribute shield, because of the elemental power issue here, it has become more defensive, but the remaining two types of shields seem to have become quite unstable.

"The shield can be constructed smoothly, but at the moment of construction, the violent elemental power will cause slight fluctuations in the talismanic magic weapon, requiring mental power to quickly and stably calibrate it... From now on, I will mainly use the earth attribute shield."

"Next..."

As his mind moved, the mobile talisman magic weapon disguised as a pendant on his waist glowed slightly.

A light force emerged and lifted his body up.

He leaped forward lightly, and his whole body seemed to be lifted by an invisible wind, gliding forward at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary running.

Under the influence of the violent wind element of the wild plane, his speed seemed to be a few points faster than when he was in the academy training ground, but it also required slightly more concentrated mental power to control it.

Finally, there are offensive talismanic weapons.

He casually pointed to a tall rock in the distance, his mind moving slightly.

A fireball the size of an adult's head appeared out of nowhere, and with a sharp whistling sound, it hit the rock like lightning.

boom!

An explosion louder than he expected sounded, and the rocks were shattered into flying debris!

The violent fire element was instantly aroused by the talisman, and the power of the fireball seemed to be more than doubled compared to that at the academy training ground.

"Wow...that's great." Benjamin was quite satisfied with the performance.

The violent elemental power of this plane has indeed greatly enhanced the attack effect of the talismanic magic weapon.

Although it may increase some control difficulty, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

After the test was completed, Benjamin put away the talismanic magic weapon.

He had only two goals in participating in this trial:

First, thoroughly test the actual combat effectiveness of the talismanic magic weapon in the real wild plane to find out its limits, advantages and disadvantages.

The second goal has just been established. Jemin plans to collect samples of materials unique to this plane.

The elemental power of this plane is so violent that the materials it creates must have unique properties.

As for points?

Benjamin didn't care too much.

Anyway, with the help of the second-level training agreement, he doesn't need to win first place to prove himself. It is enough to ensure that the final points can put him in the top 10% and get the qualification to participate in the large-scale test held by the Noren Workshop in five years.

Concentrating his mind, Jemin activated the mobile talisman magic weapon and randomly selected a direction in the air with a higher concentration of elemental power to accelerate forward.

After all, according to common sense, the higher the concentration of elemental power, the richer the resources there are, and the higher the danger.

This just meets Benjamin's two goals.

During the flight, he would also meet wizard apprentices in the air or on the ground who had also activated the flying or acceleration spells.

When the apprentices saw him, most of them looked wary.

Obviously, many people did not expect to meet other people here so soon, and the other party seemed to be faster than themselves.

Because they had just entered this plane, although there was a sense of competition among the apprentices, the atmosphere was not that tense. After all, no one had many points, and if a fight broke out now, it would very likely allow others to take advantage of the situation.

So the apprentices just glanced at Benjamin from a distance and immediately changed direction, cautiously moving away from him.

Occasionally, some people would feel that they could not escape Benjamin’s “pursuit”, so they would stop and take a posture of being on high alert.

Facing these people, Jieming just took a quick glance at them, then controlled the mobile talisman magic weapon, also moving in the direction away from the opponent, and escaping from the opponent's perception range at a faster speed.

He did want to test the combat effectiveness of the talismanic magic weapon, but he was not in a hurry to fight with humans now. He should find some live targets to try his hand first.
