Chapter 122: Gave It For Free

The word "summon" was recited alone, and the power of the mantra spread along the tone, but nothing happened.

This situation was somewhat within Zhou Xu's expectations.

It's like the mantra 'Skeleton Soldier Control'. If he just said 'control', the same thing would happen.

Because "control" requires a more specific and directional word combination.

Therefore, the single 'control' failed to take effect, but the 'skeleton soldier control' as a clear combination was successfully effective.

Therefore, Zhou Xu thought that this "summoning" mantra would most likely have the same prerequisites.

With this thought in mind, after a simple attempt, Zhou Xu spoke again...

[Skeleton Soldier Summons! ]

At that moment, as the power of the truth spread, the skeleton soldier standing in front of Zhou Xu finally moved. It raised its head calmly, and then... it was gone...

Just when Zhou Xu was confusedly wondering what he had done wrong and what the problem was, a series of "cracking" sounds came from the distance.

Zhou Xu was undoubtedly very familiar with this voice.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked around. At that moment, he saw a large number of skeleton soldiers gathering from all directions.

In a short while, a large number of skeleton soldiers gathered in front of him! And more skeleton soldiers were coming one after another.

This commotion directly alarmed the entire Black Moon camp. Zhou Chongshan and his men hurried over with weapons in hand, thinking that something had happened.

After all, nothing like this had ever happened when their leader tested the skeleton soldiers before.

"Chief! What happened?!"

Looking at the tribal members led by Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce, who were obviously in a tense state, Zhou Xu, who was surrounded by dozens of skeleton soldiers at the time, felt embarrassed.

Then, he let out a loud dry cough.

"Hmm! Nothing much, I was just testing my mantra power, and I wasn't paying attention, so I didn't control the strength well."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Chongshan and others were obviously relieved, and the people who rushed over afterwards did not feel annoyed at all.

Instead, they all looked at Zhou Xu with even more respect, including Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce!

"Congratulations, Chief. The power of the truth has become even stronger! Just now, even the skeleton soldiers deployed outside the camp rushed back in the first place!"

Li Ce's words made Zhou Xu, who was feeling embarrassed at the time, stunned.

"Wait a minute, Li Ce, are you saying that even the skeleton soldiers outside the camp were rushed back?"

"Yes."

Li Ce nodded without thinking, because he had observed the situation while rushing over, so he was very sure about this.

After confirming this, Zhou Xu's face immediately showed joy.

If he just wanted to gather the skeleton soldiers around him, then in the state of "skeleton soldier control", he could achieve the same effect by just giving an order.

From this point of view, the effect of 'Skeleton Soldier Control' completely covers the effect of 'Skeleton Soldier Summoning'.

However, Li Ce's words provided him with new information, that is, the range! The control of the skeleton soldiers was limited in range. Simply put, he could only pull up the skeletons within a certain range for control.

The most typical example is the battle with Li Ce's tribe. In order to control the skeleton soldiers deployed throughout the Black Forest, Zhou Xu had to run all over the forest, casting mantras as he ran.

But as far as we can see now, this 'Skeleton Soldier Summons' obviously has a much larger coverage area than 'Skeleton Soldier Control'.

If he had already mastered the 'Skeleton Soldier Summons' when he fought with Li Ce.

According to that situation, he could directly use the mantra of 'Skeleton Soldier Summon' to summon all the skeleton soldiers in the entire Black Forest area, and then use 'Skeleton Soldier Control' to control them.

In this way, the entire battle rhythm can be significantly improved.

After some careful research, Zhou Xu, who had gained some results, was undoubtedly smiling happily.

This is a great discovery that can improve his combat rhythm and enrich his tactics!

This discovery made Zhou Xu too lazy to care about other things, and he plunged directly into testing the scope of the summons.

As I said, in this era, there are no precise measuring tools, and the same is true for measuring distance.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Therefore, they usually describe distance using time.

For example, it takes nearly half a day to get from the Black Moon Camp to the Salt Lake Camp.

Before the time travel, he was a person who liked to walk, with the mentality of exercising his body and increasing his body activity.

Unless there was something urgent, he generally preferred to walk to places within thirty minutes.

Thanks to this, within a time period of less than thirty minutes, Zhou Xu can basically determine that he can walk about three and a half kilometers if he does not carry anything, travels light, and walks normally.

According to this distance, after many tests, Zhou Xu was completely sure that the maximum coverage area of ​​'Skeleton Soldier Summons' was about 1.5 kilometers in radius with himself as the center.

During this process, Zhou Xu had an idea. Since he could sense the power of the mantra, could he increase the strength and effect of the mantra by strengthening the output of power?

For example, 'Skeleton Soldier Summons'.

Under normal use, the coverage area is a radius of 1.5 kilometers, but if he increases the output of the power of the mantra, can he increase this radius to two kilometers, or even three kilometers? "Huh——"

With this idea in mind, Zhou Xu, after many attempts, let out a long breath.

[It seems that it is not possible, at least not now. It may be that I have not found a way to control the input strength of the mantra power, or it may be that I cannot do this in the first place.]

[I feel that this mantra combination is like a pre-written program. After it is activated, it will consume a fixed amount of energy and produce a fixed effect. Currently, I have no way to adjust the output intensity of the energy.]

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Xu, who had consumed a lot of mantra power after this test, was undoubtedly a little tired.

Then, looking at the large group of skeleton soldiers in front of him, Zhou Xu suddenly realized a problem and let out a light hiss.

[Wait a minute, I summoned all the skeleton soldiers around the camp with a 'Skeleton Summon'. Doesn't that mean that the 'Skeleton Array' originally deployed outside the Black Moon Camp is now useless? I have to redeploy it again?!]
