Chapter 254: Endowment

Along with this new mantra phrase, the new idea that was born made Zhou Xu's heart beat faster.

He couldn't wait to try this.

However, after this test, his mantra power has been consumed a lot. For the sake of caution, Zhou Xu decided to take a rest for a while, and think about this matter while recovering his mantra power.

For example...

[Who should be used for this test? ]

This is undoubtedly a question worth thinking about.

It was a new day. Zhou Xu was thinking about this matter while picking and choosing among his skeleton wolves.

"Alas, these few are probably useless. Pack them up and send them to the village. These bits and pieces of bone material may still be of some use."

Relying on the mantra of the 'skeleton' series, Zhou Xu can continuously pull up his own skeleton units, but every time they are destroyed, the strength of the skeletons will become weaker and weaker.

The reason is actually very simple, it's just that the bones are broken!

Take the skeleton wolf in front of us for example.

When a skeleton is completely intact, its strength is definitely the highest.

But in the previous battle, these skeleton wolves of his were smashed by Manshi's "flying stone attack".

Although Zhou Xu was able to reassemble the skeletons even if they were broken into pieces thanks to the power of mantra, their strength was reduced.

A complete skeleton may be able to withstand several attacks without falling apart, but a skeleton made up of bone fragments may be broken apart by a single punch.

Therefore, when the skeleton was broken to a certain extent, it basically lost its cost-effectiveness, and Zhou Xu naturally eliminated it.

Although there are wolves on the grassland, there are not so many that they can be seen everywhere. Skeleton Wolves are such a useful unit, but many of them were smashed to pieces by the "flying stone attack" of the Barbarian Stone in this wave. Zhou Xu felt a little painful about this.

Two days later, when he had rested enough, Zhou Xu figured things out.

"Go, call Shi Lei."

After receiving the summons, Shi Lei, who was busy training his troops at the time, did not dare to delay and ran over quickly.

"leader!"

"Shi Lei, come and sit over here."

"yes!"

Following Zhou Xu's order, Shi Lei sat down obediently.

Zhou Xu had no intention of hiding anything, and directly stated...

"I obtained several new mantra characters when I occupied the camp of the Barbarian Stone Tribe. I want you to cooperate with me in a test."

The fact that their leader had obtained the new mantra was no secret at the time, and he did not hide it from them throughout the process.

Now that Shi Lei had learned about this from Zhou Xu, he was not too surprised.

"How does the leader need his subordinates to cooperate?"

"Just sit there and don't move."

"yes!"

Shi Lei agreed very straightforwardly and then sat there straight, his body tensed up uncontrollably.

After all, it's impossible to say that he is not nervous at all about this matter.

Zhou Xu didn't care too much and started directly.

[Control of Skeleton Soldiers Granted! ]

According to his thinking, since the truth can be given to others, the question becomes which truth to give.

Since the target is Shi Lei, Zhou Xu thought about it and felt that "Eye of Insight" and "Skeleton Soldier Control" are more appropriate.

The former can ensure that Shi Lei does not miss any talent when he is in charge here.

The latter, on the other hand, can improve the combat effectiveness of Huangshan Village in a very simple and crude way, and greatly enrich Shi Lei's tactical application.

Putting aside the idea of ​​giving both, Zhou Xu finally decided to try giving the "Skeleton Soldier Control" to Shi Lei first.

Because they had just finished a battle, and he had used the "Eye of Insight" to examine these prisoners. Now even if he gave the "Eye of Insight" to Shi Lei, it would not be of much use.

In comparison, the improvement of the combat power and tactics of this side by "Skeleton Soldier Control" is undoubtedly more substantial.

As the mantra was activated, Zhou Xu felt the power of the mantra in his body begin to surge, as if it was looking for a place to vent!

Next, Zhou Xu extended the index finger of his right hand completely based on his feeling.

In an instant, the power of truth surging in his body began to rush towards his fingertips madly, causing his fingertips to gradually emit a gray-black light.

The light seemed to be condensing at his fingertips, and this process was longer than he had imagined.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Gradually, beads of cold sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and his face turned ashen.

This situation made Shi Lei, who was sitting opposite, feel at a loss, and he subconsciously wanted to do something.

But he quickly realized that in the current situation, he had no idea what was happening, and if he acted rashly, it would likely make things worse.

The best thing for him now might be to do nothing.

During this process, Zhou Xu's face gradually began to turn pale, and the tip of his index finger, which was emitting a gray-black light, gradually condensed into a gray-black light ball about the size of a soybean.

After taking a look at the ball of light condensed on his fingertips, and then looking at Shi Lei with a nervous face, Zhou Xu hesitated for a moment before tapping his fingertips on Shi Lei's brow.

In an instant, the gray-black ball of light turned into a stream of energy and poured into Shi Lei from between his eyebrows.

At that moment, Shi Lei felt as if something foreign was stuffed into his brain. The strange feeling made him frown until the ball of light completely poured in!

"call--"

His right hand dropped, and that almost made Zhou Xu completely collapse. He took several deep breaths before he recovered a little.

【Damn, I was careless. 】

He never expected that the consumption of this mantra would be so huge that it almost drained all the mantra power in his body.

Close your eyes and feel the presence of the mantra characters in your body.

Although he used the mantra of 'Control of Skeleton Soldiers' on Shi Lei, Zhou Xu could clearly feel that the mantra combination of 'Control of Skeleton Soldiers' was still in his body.

In other words, he can still use this mantra combination.

This couldn't help but give him some new ideas.

At the same time, he vaguely felt that this "granting" seemed to be different from directly obtaining the mantra.

Normally, the truth within another person's body cannot be taken away at will.

But the mantra he gave to Shi Lei was different. He felt that if he wanted to take it away, he could do so at any time.

[That is to say, the effect of this "conferring" is not to directly transfer the mantra in my body to Shi Lei, and Shi Lei actually did not really obtain this mantra, he just obtained a part of my ability! ]

[That’s right, if I just want to give the truth to someone else, I can just take it out myself, why would I need to go through so much trouble? ]

Update is here, thanks to book friend '嚜者' for the reward!
