Chapter 104 Adaptation
While the entire Elosia plane was active because of the huge bounty, Jemin and his men were still moving in the barren mountains.
The improvement of being promoted to a first-level wizard was even greater than what Jemin had initially expected. The Ring of Truth had an exaggerated effect on the increase in mental power and the speed of cultivation.
In particular, his amplified mental power can be transformed into real cultivation through the methods of internal circulation and refining essence into qi.
In the past few days, both Benjamin's Qi training and meditation speed have been improved to a higher level. He is basically rising in a spiral with his left foot stepping on his right foot.
So much so that when all three of them were promoted to first-level wizards, they all had problems with inaccurate power control.
Fortunately, this problem is easy to solve.
During the long journey to the wizard's base camp, they turned the enemy units that did not pose a threat along the way into their training grounds for "cleaning" and "getting familiar with the power."
Benjamin walked in the front, his mental power always connected with the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror.
And with Jieming's deliberate cultivation over the years, the spiritual power of the Five Elements Transformation into a Rainbow Mirror is now sufficient to support the processing of information sent back by a large group of glimmering eyes, including the Eye of Reconnaissance.
Just as they were passing through a forest shrouded in thick fog, the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror sounded the alarm.
"There's a group of small forest spirits ahead," Benjamin whispered. "There are about thirty of them. They're relatively weak, but their energy fluctuations are rather strange."
Victor and Amy immediately understood and prepared their own attack spells.
"The shaman's soul does not contain any information about the spirits near this forest. Be careful!" Amy reminded.
Benjamin and Victor both nodded silently.
Along the way, in addition to becoming familiar with the power, they also witnessed the unique talents and abilities of many native creatures in this plane.
The abilities of many creatures may sound insignificant, but if you are not familiar with them, you can suffer great losses if you are not careful.
Just like the group of orcs that Jemin and his men encountered when they destroyed the shrine before.
The characteristic of orcs is their extremely tenacious vitality, but only after facing them in real life do you realize that orcs' vitality is so tenacious that even if their bodies are beaten into a sieve, they still have the ability to fight back.
The so-called spirits are a special form of natural elves in the Elosia plane.
Regardless of their good or evil nature or their innate abilities, they will change accordingly with the changes in the natural environment in which they live, making them the most difficult enemies to grasp intelligence about.
As the three approached the camp, a sharp scream with a malicious aura suddenly rang out.
Dozens of forest spirits of various shapes emerged from the thick fog. Some of them were shaped like branches, some like moss, and they emitted a faint green light.
They were extremely fast, with sharp claws and mouthparts, and pounced on the three people from all directions.
However, Jemin was faster and took the initiative before they launched the attack.
However, a round of energy bomb attacks had almost no effect.
Under the white energy bombs, the bodies of the forest monsters were smashed into pieces, but they continued to pounce as if they were not hurt at all.
"Attention, this pile of matter outside is not their bodies!" Benjamin shouted immediately.
He keenly noticed that these monsters in front of him could continue to move no matter what kind of damage their bodies suffered. Some of them even had parts of their bodies completely suspended in mid-air, and there was still no impact.
This shows that the pile of matter in front of them is just a decoy.
Judging from the performance of the energy bomb just now, the true bodies of these monsters should be some kind of ethereal form that can ignore physical attacks.
Because they lost the initiative, the monsters pounced on them in the blink of an eye.
However, Benjamin was not at all panicked.
The moment the goblins launched their attack, his mental power surged, and the defensive talismanic magic weapon that had been in a low-activity state was instantly activated.
The monster's movements, which were originally moving at high speed, suddenly became extremely slow, as if it had fallen into a sticky quagmire!
This is Jermyn's outermost defense - the "deceleration zone".
A powerful energy field enveloped the area around Jemin, causing the monsters that entered to move slowly, as if in slow motion.
Some goblins that did not enter the deceleration area were not willing to be outdone. They circled around Jemin, trying to find a gap in the force field.
But they found that the target in front of them began to blur and distort.
This is the effect of the second layer of defense - "refractive light mirror".
The air around Jemin was refracted by some force, causing the goblins' vision to be severely distorted and deviated. The attacks of those goblins who had managed to get close despite the deceleration field often deviated from the target due to the deflection, piercing into the open space or hitting their companions.
But before the monsters could come up with any solution, two more layers of defense were activated on Benjamin's body.
Four "force field shields" flashing with rune light appeared around him. They surrounded him. Although the solid force field constructed by the runes had a relatively small defense range, its protective ability in the front area was extremely strong.
The last layer of defense is the most basic and personal "energy shield".
A layer of transparent light film appeared on Benjamin's body, as if he had an extra layer of translucent eggshell.
This multi-layered defense system renders the attacks of the monsters ineffective.
Benjamin observed carefully for a while and confirmed the nature of these monsters.
"Although completely immune to physical attacks, its resistance to energy is extremely low. Even the energy field of the deceleration field can cause significant damage to it... It has a characteristic similar to 'Hollowness', a creature specialized in physical attacks..."
He raised his wrist slightly, and the bracelet on his wrist spun rapidly, revealing the talismanic magical weapon embedded in it.
"Fortunately, I was prepared."
The talismanic magic weapons on his two wrists now correspond to different types of attacks.
The talisman on the left wrist activates a pure physical kinetic energy bullet.
The symbol on the right wrist, on the other hand, triggers a pure elemental corrosive energy shock.
"Elemental erosion." Benjamin's mind moved.
The next second, the talismanic magic weapon on the right wrist began to operate at high speed, and white light beams as thick as ten fingers shot out like lasers, accurately hitting the monsters that were still struggling in the "slowing down" state.
The high-intensity elemental corrosive force ignored the "virtualization" characteristics of the goblins and penetrated into the goblins' ethereal bodies like ink, directly damaging their energy cores.
"hiss!!!"
The goblins let out shrill screams, their bodies were forced to solidify from nothingness, and then quickly withered, turning into pools of green liquid emitting black smoke.
Turning around, I found that Amy and Victor had also quickly cleaned up the remaining scattered monsters to prevent them from escaping.
When all the monsters were destroyed, only green liquid remained in the entire forest.
"Tsk tsk tsk...you are getting better and better." Amy couldn't help but admire Benjamin as she looked at him.
Victor also lamented, "I originally thought that constructing my own offensive magic would narrow the gap between us, but now it seems the gap is widening."
"That's normal. After all, as you said, I'm the top student in our alchemy department." Benjamin joked with a smile.
After so many days of getting along and fighting together, the relationship between them has become much more familiar than before.
Just as he was about to say something else, Benjamin suddenly frowned.
The reconnaissance eye told him that fifty kilometers ahead, a team of extraordinary people emitting special energy entered his "field of vision".
