Chapter 223 accidentally messed up
the mantra combination of "Skeleton Beast Soldiers". It was completely logically sound, and there was no rejection reaction between the mantra characters.
Almost at the moment Zhou Xu recited it, the skeleton beast that had collapsed to the ground due to the loss of the power of the mantra suddenly moved again.
In the empty animal bone eye sockets, two ghost fires were burning there like two bright lanterns.
At this moment, Zhou Xu could clearly feel the increase in power consumption, and relatively speaking, the combat effectiveness of this 'skeleton beast soldier' must be stronger than the previous simple 'skeleton beast'.
Needless to say, the destructive power increased, and the entire operation became more rapid.
With one leap, this skeleton beast soldier became the ace force in his skeleton army!
And there is another skeleton beast soldier like this in his village! In this era, who can stop him if he releases these two skeleton beast soldiers? However, the consumption is indeed much greater than controlling ordinary skeleton soldiers.
During the time Zhou Xu was controlling the skeleton beast soldiers in front of him to conduct tests, he felt that his mantra power had been consumed by nearly 20%.
If this happens in a battle, he can't control only one skeleton beast soldier. There is a high probability that two will attack at the same time. But if so, his consumption will definitely double.
This consumption calmed Zhou Xu's mind down a bit.
Compared with ordinary skeleton soldiers, or even hyena skeletons, this consumption is considered huge.
Excessive consumption greatly reduced his sustained combat capability.
If the battle could be resolved quickly, the consumption would be fine, but the fear is that I would run out of strength before the battle is over.
Zhou Xu obviously still needs to think about some of the issues here and weigh them carefully.
Of course, these issues can be put aside for now.
The most important thing right now is to continue exploring this new combination of mantras.
[It is natural that these skeleton beast soldiers transformed from the skeletons of extraordinary creatures consume a lot of energy to mobilize. If they are replaced with ordinary skeleton beast soldiers, the consumption should be less. ]
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu asked someone to find the skeleton of the wolf king.
The corpses of other wild wolves were basically given to Drogo and his men, which meant that after they had discarded the skeletons of two supernatural creatures, the only complete wild beast skeleton in their hands was that of the wolf king.
[Controlled by Skeleton Beast Soldiers! ]
The mantra was activated, and accompanied by two burning will-o'-the-wisp flames, a skeleton wolf quickly stood up in front of Zhou Xu.
[Sure enough, the consumption is similar to that of ordinary skeleton soldiers. It is because the skeletons of extraordinary creatures are too strong, so it consumes a lot of energy to control. If it is replaced with ordinary beast skeletons, the consumption will be normal.]
While thinking, Zhou Xu tested the strength of the skeleton wolf.
Also having the 'four-wheel drive' configuration, the biggest feeling the Skeleton Wolf gave Zhou Xu was that it was lighter and more flexible in movement, and could be considered a super low-profile version of the extraordinary Skeleton Beast Soldier.
After a simple test of the newly unlocked 'Skeleton Beast Soldiers', Zhou Xu moved to the breeding farm.
At this moment, the six wolf cubs who were picked up were playing heartily in the straw pile, following their biological instincts and practicing their hunting skills.
Zhou Xu came here at this time, of course, for a purpose.
Looking at the six little wolf cubs, Zhou Xu slowly spoke...
[Beast Soldier Control! ]
In an instant, the power of the truth spread.
The six wolf cubs who were playing and fighting in the straw pile froze on the spot.
Zhou Xu, who saw this scene, immediately showed joy on his face.
"Line up in a row!"
After the order was given, the six wolf cubs lined up in a row quite swiftly.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu's face became even happier, as if he had gained strength, and began to command the six little wolf cubs to form various formations.
"Charge formation!"
"Fan-shaped encirclement! Counterattack!"
“…”
Perhaps it was so interesting to watch the six little wolf cubs busying themselves with all kinds of things that Zhou Xu forgot about the time without realizing it, until he felt dizzy.
“Ah, this.”
He was very familiar with this feeling; it was a sign of excessive consumption of mantra power.
The situation in front of him made Zhou Xu feel a little confused, and he quickly released the control of the mantra on the six little wolf cubs.
After the mantra was lifted, the six little wolf cubs collapsed to the ground one after another, their pink tongues sticking out, gasping for breath, with an indescribable look of loss on their faces.
They felt as if they had done something, yet as if they had done nothing.
His brain, which was not a very smart one to begin with, became a mess, and his body was so tired that he simply collapsed to the ground.
Compared to the six little wolf cubs who were completely at a loss, although Zhou Xu was a little too addicted to the game, he actually still had some idea in mind.
[What's going on? The power of the mantra is being consumed too quickly...]
After taking a deep breath and leaning aside to relax for a while, Zhou Xu, whose condition had eased a little, sorted out his thoughts a little.
[Is it because this thing controls a living thing? ]
Skeleton soldiers are essentially skeletons, they are dead and have no will of their own, so to control the skeleton soldiers, he only needs to consume the power of "control".
But living things are different; they have their own will.
While controlling a living creature, you also have to fight against its will, and even continue to suppress its will, which will undoubtedly increase consumption.
Zhou Xu had undoubtedly thought of this problem before starting the test, so he chose the six wolf cubs in the village as his initial target because they were still young and had relatively weak wills.
However, he did not expect that the consumption was still greater than he expected.
However, compared with ordinary skeleton soldiers, Zhou Xu also saw advantages in them, that is, they possess flexibility that skeletons cannot match, and they can also control speed more easily.
Simply put, the upper limit of living things is higher, but correspondingly, the cost and consumption of control are also greater.
"call--"
Zhou Xu let out a long breath and stretched his body.
【Let’s stop here for today. 】
He hadn't intended to consume himself to the point where he was now.
Although the threat of the saber-toothed tiger in the area has been resolved, and the hyena man suffered a great loss at his hands before and ran away in disgrace, there is no guarantee that there will not be any trouble here again.
Considering this, as an important fighting force in the grassland village, it is undoubtedly very important to keep yourself capable of fighting at all times.
As a result, I accidentally got out of it...
