Chapter 1019 New Combos
Simply speaking from the perspective of the mantra, the gains this time can be said to be very great.
After all, the previous 'Pray for Rain' and 'Fire Attack' were also obtained from here, and now there are two more mantra characters.
However, the degree of compatibility between these two mantra characters and the mantras he already possessed was relatively average.
Take the mantra of the word "life" for example.
Among all his mantra characters, the one for "life" has a feeling of being doomed to be alone, as if he is not familiar with anyone and is not close to anyone.
Zhou Xu tried again and again, and in the end only one trick worked, which was...
【Make a fire.】
As the mantra was activated, a ball of fire suddenly appeared in Zhou Xu's palm.
A ball of fire the size of a fist can exist for a long time, but it will continue to consume power.
At the same time, it did not show any practical value, it was just a simple fire.
In some special cases, this trick may be used for lighting, but in battle, it is more practical to use "fire attack" directly.
In comparison, the situation of another mantra character 'Summon' is much better.
After obtaining this mantra character, he can directly form the phrase "summon". If used alone, it has no effect at all, but the phrase "summon" can be combined with other phrases! Zhou Xu mainly tested this today.
[Let’s try this trick first…]
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu's face turned serious and a series of difficult and awkward tones quickly came out of his mouth.
[Summon Skeleton Soldiers! ]
In an instant, as the power of the mantra spread, a huge magic circle unfolded directly in front of Zhou Xu.
In the light, the skeleton soldiers appeared out of thin air.
In the blink of an eye, a skeleton army appeared before Zhou Xu.
Not long after that, a pterosaur rider flew over quickly.
"Report to Your Majesty! A large number of skeleton soldiers in the military camp disappeared out of thin air!"
Zhou Xu had already decided from the beginning that he was going to test the 'summoning' mantra.
Under this premise, he will of course have some corresponding ideas.
For example, does this summoning really summon the skeleton soldiers out of nothing? Or does it just quickly move the skeleton soldiers within a certain range to the front of the body?
You know, there are skeleton soldiers here, because "skeleton soldier control" is now one of the standard skills of the generals leading troops in their Great Zhou.
Zhou Xu would reward any general who had made some military achievements so that they could enrich their tactical means.
Therefore, every troop is often equipped with skeleton soldiers, and Bai Tu is no exception.
After successfully settling on the island, he immediately ordered a thousand skeleton soldiers to be sent from the rear and placed in the barracks to facilitate his subsequent deployment.
In order to verify his guess, Zhou Xu specially arranged a pterosaur rider to keep an eye on the skeleton soldiers before starting the truth test. Once the skeleton soldiers disappeared, he would come and report immediately.
The result is now undoubtedly clear.
"Count the number of summoned skeletons."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu waved his hand and asked his personal soldiers led by Silk to confirm the number of skeleton soldiers he had summoned.
The final number was quickly confirmed to be exactly five hundred!
After getting this answer, Zhou Xu fell into deep thought...
[Logically speaking, with my current strength, I should be able to summon all 1,000 skeletons in the barracks, but I have only summoned 500.]
Zhou Xu was not without any idea about this situation.
Is it a program limitation?
To make it easier to understand, he has always compared the truth to a program that achieves a fixed effect through fixed consumption.
Assuming that the upper limit of the 'Summon Skeleton Soldiers' program is 500, then he would definitely not be able to summon 1,000 Skeleton Soldiers at this stage.
Unless he has thoroughly studied the mantra of 'summoning skeleton soldiers' and can perform it through normal chanting.
At that time, how many skeleton soldiers he can summon will depend on his ability.
If the 'Summon Skeleton Soldiers' trick can be used, then corresponding summoning skills in the same series such as 'Summon Skeleton Beast Soldiers' and 'Summon Beast Soldiers' will definitely be no problem.
Afterwards, Zhou Xu casually tried methods such as "summoning lightning", "summoning fire" and "summoning fire rain".
However, this series of measures all ended in failure.
This allowed Zhou Xu to roughly understand the idea of 'summoning'.
Judging from the effects shown alone, 'Summon Skeleton Soldiers' can perfectly replace the previous method of 'Summon Skeleton Soldiers'.
After all, the former appeared out of thin air and entered the scene almost instantly, while the latter needed a lot of time to run over.
But in fact, after a simple round of testing, Zhou Xu believed that these two methods each had their own advantages and disadvantages.
From the efficiency point of view, it is indeed the case that 'Summon Skeleton Soldiers' wins perfectly.
But judging from the scope and quantity, 'Skeleton Summon' is a complete winner.
'Skeleton Summon' has a larger coverage area, and its effect is to convert all skeletons within the coverage area into skeleton soldiers and summon them over.
In other words, even if there are 100,000 skeletons in the area, this move can summon all 100,000 skeletons.
The only drawback is that this process takes time. The farther the distance, the slower it comes. It is not like "Summon Skeleton Soldiers" which can enter the field immediately.
From this point of view, these two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they do not conflict with each other.
Zhou Xu could have used the "Summon Skeleton Soldiers" skill first to allow some of the Skeleton Soldiers to enter the battlefield urgently and stabilize the situation, and then add the "Skeleton Soldiers Summons" skill to achieve the goal of continuously reinforcing the Skeleton Soldiers.
These two mantras can be turned into a combo! It's really beautiful to think about it! Zhou Xu couldn't wait to try it.
So he proposed to conduct actual combat exercises with the troops under Bai Tu's command.
He is the only one here, and he only uses the "Skull" series of methods, without any other mantras.
Bai Tu, on the other hand, sent out 500 soldiers from the Great Zhou Marine Corps.
After all, skeleton soldiers are inherently weaker than normal soldiers. If Bai Tu directly sends out more than a thousand troops, the five hundred skeleton soldiers he summoned at the beginning will be killed instantly, and there will be no point in fighting.
As for when he really gets on the battlefield, it is unlikely that he will really use the skeleton troops to challenge the enemy troops alone. There will definitely be cooperation from his own troops, so there is no need to worry about this issue.
In this way, the test started quickly. On the open space of the island, 500 marines faced Zhou Xu alone. The battle started quickly, and Zhou Xu took the lead...
