Chapter 333 Alston’s Head
The vortex detonated by Tiger Shadow is about as powerful as a 2nd level arcane spell.
In Duke's view, this is a rather crude shamanic spell that directly uses the spirit of the beast as a bomb.
Most shaman spells are more like buffs.
For example, the spirit of the beast can be attached to the weapon, so that the weapon has the shadow attack of the beast, or certain talents of the beast - poison, speed, toughness, fire, frost, etc., can also be attached to the companion, so that the companion can obtain gain.
Duke had experimented with Cassidy before, and through the blessing of shaman spells, Cassidy instantly became violent and bloodthirsty.
The body also changed from a thin linen rod to a muscular man.
It roughly improves Cassidy's strength from the middle to lower level of the second level to the level of the upper level of the second level. The increase is not very large, and the duration is only five minutes.
But it’s a really good buff.
"If it can be used on knights, then the potential of knights can be further tapped." Duke thought of the Sanhai system, "Once the Qi Refiners develop, and each knight is equipped with a Qi Refiner, wouldn't it mean that the knights will take off? "
Even if it cannot cooperate with the knight.
The Qi Practitioner himself can also cooperate. The Qi Refinement Practitioner of the natural way transforms into a bear, and the Qi Refinement Practitioner of the shamanic way releases buffs. They will definitely be a perfect match for each other.
"Or."
Duke looked at the shredded forest and thought thoughtfully: "In my speculation, this unknown land is probably not in the same world as the Wilderness Continent... Then its self-evolving wilderness power system, Nature blends into each other.”
The druid of the natural way and the shaman of the shamanic way are two sides of the same body that complement each other.
He suddenly transformed into a cheetah.
Then he said something to Cassidy: "Cast bloodlust on me."
"Yes, Lord Duke." Cassidy waved an oak branch in his hand, twisting his body as if dancing. The next moment, a bright object flew out from the oak branch in his hand and landed on Duke's cheetah body. superior.
As if taking big tonic pills and stimulants.
Duke could feel that his body was completely boiling under the blessing of bloodthirsty, and a special energy even invaded his mind.
Like a bewitchment, he couldn't help but develop a bloodthirsty desire.
"This is the blessing of the power of the wilderness to the soul..." Duke did not lose his mind because of this. In fact, the spiritual energy in the spiritual sea gently rippled, calming the "seduce" of the bloodthirsty spell on the soul, and regained his desire-free state. A state of undemanding calm.
The power of wilderness is the flowing Qi of all things.
The energy of life and death are both components of the energy of all things. The power of wilderness is generated through the flow of breath. The soul is also a kind of energy.
Even according to Duke, the soul and Qi are from the same source.
The energy of all things condenses and sublimates, and becomes the soul, the soul of man, the soul of beasts, and even the soul of water, fire, earth, and wind.
When the soul sinks and decomposes, it becomes the energy of all things, filling the space between heaven and earth, and becoming a controllable force of the wilderness.
“The way of nature sublimates along with the energy of all things; the way of shaman follows the soul to trace life and death...” I have an understanding in my heart.
The cheetah transformed by Duke is not slow at all.
Like a flash of yellow, it easily passed through the jungle, quickly sprinted to the distant river, then turned back and sprinted back again.
The rapidly passing vision flows through the cheetah's eyes.
Duke saw the power of wilderness everywhere, and seemed to see the densely packed spirit of nature. The energy emitted by all things rises and sinks between heaven and earth, condenses into soul, and disperses into vitality. It goes round and round, endlessly.
Something dawned on him again.
Then he pounced **** a fifth-ringed spirit beast that came into view. On the leopard's front paws, the bloodthirsty spell blessed by Cassidy had expired, but suddenly, Duke himself communicated with the spirit of nature and provided the body with Added new bloodthirsty spell.
Then, the huge cheetah's front paws struck **** the unprepared fifth-ring spirit beast.
Only one face to face.
The body of the ring spirit beast was hit by the huge force and sank. Its bones were broken and blood splattered everywhere. Then it wailed and collapsed on the ground.
The luster of arcane magic shimmered on it, but it failed to condense into shape.
Soon, he died.
The cheetah man stood up, the leopard skin split from the middle, and instantly returned to Duke's original appearance. He glanced at the corpse of the spiritual beast on the ground.
Look at his hands again: "I actually used the way of nature and the way of shamanism at the same time! One is the rise of the power of the wilderness, and the other is the sinking of the power of the wilderness. The two paths that should have been in conflict have ended up being... I found the balance!"
Although they are all cultivating the power of the wilderness.
But the way of nature and the way of shaman are in opposite directions, so Duke could not use both paths at the same time before.
If you take the form of a beast, you cannot communicate with the spirit of nature.
When communicating with the spirit of nature, you cannot take the form of a beast.
Unexpectedly, just now, when he turned into a cheetah, he performed bloodthirsty at the same time and found the slightly and fragile balance point in the middle of the two roads.
“Lord Duke.” Cassidy trotted over.
Duke waved his hand to signal Cassidy not to disturb him. At this time, inspiration was flashing in his mind and was being quickly absorbed by Xiaoyi.
Then use supercomputer-like calculations to summarize and shape it.
"The power of the wilderness is the name of this continent. It is named so because of the existence of the wilderness elves. There are no night elves in the wilderness continent, and the power of the wilderness is also very thin. It is like another power system, so why not just call it The energy of all things!”
Linghai is the **** of idealism.
The sea of blood is the blood of life.
Qi Hai is the energy of all things.
This is a rough power model that he summarized based on the trinity of spirit, energy and spirit on the earth. It is only suitable for the wilderness continent.
"In my opinion, a Qi practitioner who opens up the sea of Qi should have three ways to practice." He and Xiaoyi repeatedly deliberated and finally worked out the details of the practice. "Practice the way of nature, and you can become a Qi practitioner who can transform; cultivate your soul. The way can be used as a totem qigong practitioner."
In addition, there is a third way.
“Practice the way of balance, and you need to contract elves. With the help of elves, you can sort out the Qi of all things, so that you can become...elf Qi refiners!”
Suddenly.
He thought of arcane mages. In fact, arcanists also have two paths of practice, one is the arcane scholar path of energy fusion, and the other is the arcanist path of elemental decomposition.
Only knights, there is only one way to go, the knight's path, hard work and fighting spirit.
So far.
Duke has almost completely analyzed the power system of this continent and the new cultivation system of Qihai monks.
So he looked at Cassidy: "Cassidy, thank you for guiding me in my shamanic practice for so many days."
Cassidy shook his hair, but still couldn't see his face clearly: "Mr. Duke, you are so polite. I have also gained a lot of experience in integrating into the wilderness from you... I hope that when I am about to grow old, I can truly Be part of the wilderness.”
"What restricts your integration into the wilderness is probably the influence of the devil on you." Duke did not explain that the devil is a divine evil, but said, "I carefully reviewed the information, consulted some great figures, and formulated a set of exorcism plans."
“Ah!” Cassidy was overjoyed.
He followed Duke closely for so many days. In addition to Duke being able to suppress the devil's influence and keep him awake at all times, he also hoped that Duke could find a way to get rid of the devil's influence for him.
Now, I finally got what I wanted.
Duke said seriously: "I can't guarantee 100% success. There is at least a 10% risk that it will cause irreversible damage during the exorcism process... Cassidy, the choice is up to you. Do you want to take the risk and let me exorcise you?" .”
Once the power of evil penetrates into the human body, it will pollute and change the nature of the human body from head to tail, from blood to soul.
This is the conclusion that Duke learned after carefully questioning Selsus and others.
The gods are too dangerous after all. If the stars are not careful, they may capsize on the gods, let alone ordinary people.
He also inquired about the fate of his colleague at the time, Loroa Snow Eagle.
At the beginning in Mine No. 3, I and others were affected by the shedding of the evil spirit. Fortunately, they were not too polluted and could recover quickly. Only Loroya Snow Eagle was seriously contaminated, and was eventually sent to Runwu City in the name of further training.
Since then, there has been no news about Loroa Snow Eagle.
After Duke’s inquiries, Roroa Snow Eagle was dead a long time ago. Loren Sankagome personally took action to rid him of the evil pollution, but in the end Roroa Snow Eagle still couldn’t resist.
Duke also consulted with Loren Sankago over and over again regarding the entire operation to remove the contamination of divine evil.
Huge difficulty.
If Cassidy's evil contamination was not deep, Duke would not be sure to take action to remove the contamination caused by the evil deity to his body.
After pondering and struggling for a while, Cassidy finally made up his mind: "Lord Duke, please exorcise the devil for me... Even if I die, I don't want to be sober and confused anymore. It's too uncomfortable to live like that!"
“Okay.” After hearing this, Duke immediately agreed.
He brought Cassidy into the tree house he built, and then quickly arranged a formation to transform the tree house into an operating room.
“Lying on the operating table.”
"yes."
Waiting for Cassidy to lie down, Duke quickly activated the formation to form a stable psychic position in the tree house, and then materialized the Arcane Hand and the Arcane Eye.
The two quickly combined to form an arcane weapon reaching the sky, and then scattered into thousands of strands, directly piercing Cassidy's body.
Using the arcane weapon Tongtian as a medium, Duke began to mobilize his spiritual energy to clean Cassidy's body. This is an operation that is as delicate as the molecular level. It requires removing the tissues contaminated by divine evil at the most minute level.
“Xiaoyi, I need your help.”
“Master, please rest assured, Xiaoyi is always behind you to provide support.”
From day to night, Duke looked for the evil contaminated tissues bit by bit. He did not touch these contaminated tissues personally, but began to cut them off from around the contaminated tissues. Even if the cut is larger and rougher, I don't want to contaminate it at all.
The power of the evil is too weird, as disgusting as maggots attached to bones, and it is difficult to remove if it is contaminated.
With amazing stability, Duke had amputated Cassidy's limbs and driven away all the evil contaminated tissue in the middle of the night.
Now all that’s left is the head.
"Brain... Xiaoyi, we need to be more stable." Duke's eyes seemed to have the shadow of a big tree blooming. He had activated the secret of the tree king, the refreshing ability provided by the jasper tea tree, allowing him to focus more .
Then the arcane weapon swam in Cassidy's brain, quickly targeting every tissue contaminated by the evil.
In order not to damage Cassidy's brain, he needs to exert his control of psychic powers to the extreme and maintain it for several hours.
In this way, the stars change and the night passes. The last piece of evil-contaminated tissue in Cassidy's brain was accurately removed by Duke. He breathed a long sigh of relief and controlled the arcane weapon Babel to withdraw it from Cassidy's body.
“Phew, done!”
More than ten hours of high-intensity surgery was more tiring than a battle with Yalong.
Fortunately, everything went well. All the contaminated tissues were removed and placed in a glass bottle. The blood had turned black.
There is smoke-like black gas flowing in the glass bottle.
However, without the nourishment of flesh and blood, the black air quickly solidified into black dust and adhered to the glass wall.
"Just a little bit of contamination of the sample could create a forest of mutations." Duke put away the glass bottle and prepared to find a place to process the samples and scatter them into the forest. "With the help of the continuous swallowing of the forest of mutations, we can completely eliminate them." The power of evil."
Just like the No. 3 mutant forest in Cuihai City, it is not preserved intentionally, but in fact it is to eliminate the power of the evil beings to shed their shells.
Duke also plans to create a mutant forest here.
But before going to deal with it, Duke checked the sleeping Cassidy again: "The vital signs are good... As for whether he can wake up, it depends on his own destiny... I also performed the first operation to remove the evil contaminated tissue. I have no experience and I don’t know the results.”
Ogham, the great elf, was left to look after Cassidy.
Duke left the wooden house, quickly found a corner in Pantuo Forest, and then used his spiritual power to lift up the glass bottle and smash it.
Black smoke spread with a loud bang.
But before it could spread, Duke condensed a ball of flame and grilled the black smoke. When it is almost done baking, a strong wind will gather up and blow away the black smoke, spreading it evenly over a large forest.
His whole body is covered by arcane armor, and a layer of fighting spirit armor is condensed on the outside.
Duke waited cautiously for a moment.
Feeling that traces of evil energy began to escape from under the earth, and the evil energy was slowly absorbed by the animals and plants in the forest.
He finally showed a satisfied smile: "Very good, the mutant forest has been formed, and then it depends on time to destroy the power of the gods... In ten or fifty years, one day the power of the gods will dissipate, and the mutant forest will return to normal. .”
While he was observing the newly mutated forest.
On the Dou Qi holographic screen, a small green dot suddenly flashed, and following Xiaoyi's prompt: "It was detected that the power of the wilderness was condensed at the treehouse location ten kilometers away. It seemed to be a fluctuation caused by someone integrating into the wilderness. "
“Someone blends into the wilderness?” Duke was surprised, “It can’t be Cassidy, right?”
When he quickly returned to the tree house, he saw Cassidy standing under the tree, and under his feet, a huge green glowing symbol was flashing.
Surrounding this green luminous symbol, vegetation grows wildly and blossoms and matures in an instant.
“This is... a totem?” Duke was surprised, but did not disturb Cassidy.
At this moment, Cassidy was immersed in some kind of epiphany. The power aura in his body had climbed from level 2 to level 3, and was still rising. It soon climbed to the level of level 4, and only then began to slowly calm down. .
The huge green luminous symbol at his feet also gradually faded away.
The surrounding plants are no longer growing wildly, but the ground is full of fruits and grass seeds that were just grown. I don’t know how many generations have been born and destroyed in this short period of time.
Even the tree house on the big tree behind has been integrated with the big tree, as if it has completely grown into the branches of the big tree.
"Sir Duke." Cassidy opened his eyes and saw Duke. His small eyes hidden by his beard and hair revealed an energetic look. "I...I have integrated into the wilderness. Lord Duke, I am now a human being." The famous totem shaman!"
Said.
He plopped down and knelt down in front of Duke: "Thank you, Lord Duke, for exorcising the devil for me. Now I finally have a new life!"
"Get up." Duke was also very excited. "Tell me, what kind of inheritance did you get after you broke through and became a totem shaman? Have you already obtained the totem inheritance?"
"Yes, just now, after I integrated into the wilderness, an ancestor's spirit integrated into my body and brought me some totem shaman knowledge. Oh, by the way, a totem was also passed down to me, called Growth Totem. I cast Show it to you!”
Following Cassidy's display, a symbol that was exactly the same as the green glowing symbol appeared in front of him.
It's just smaller than before, only about the size of a person.
There are dense curves inside the symbol, which overlap and combine in a special pattern to outline such a green totem.
Duke quickly manifested the Eye of the Arcane Weapon and completely recorded the details of this totem.
And in the spiritual sea, a highly restored growth totem model was condensed.
"Xiao Yi, look at this totem, does it look like a huge ring?" Duke asked in his mind, "Although the ring structure is different and the energy lines that make up the ring are also different, it is indeed a complete spell model. It’s a ring!”
"Master, Xiaoyi needs more samples for analysis." Xiaoyi will not draw conclusions easily.
At this time.
Cassidy quickly let the light of the growth totem shine on a cluster of shrubs in front of him. The shrubs grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, they reached the end of their lives, and the leaves fell off and turned into dead trees. But more new shrubs grew around it.
“Lord Duke, this is the growth totem. It can accelerate the growth of plants, and when mastered, it can also make plants grow in a specific way!”
Cassidy patiently explained the growth totem and told Duke all the knowledge he had inherited from the ancestral spirits.
To express one's gratitude.
Duke listened patiently, and then followed Cassidy's explanation and tried to cast the growth totem. The power of the wilderness flowed through his body, condensing a complex green spell model along his thoughts, just like casting an arcane spell.
next moment
A green growth totem appeared in front of Duke. Illuminated by the light, the surrounding plants began to grow rapidly.
…
October 15th.
In the Tower of Erudite, the Light Award of the Tower of Erudite was awarded to Tevant, the Erudite and 5th-ring Ocean Arcane Mage, in recognition of his invention of the CD-ROM book.
“I want to thank Prophet Duke, who invented the optical disc technology, so that I can invent optical disc books based on the optical disc..."
A rectangular CD is actually a book.
Tevant demonstrated on the stage how to flip through this CD-ROM book, and one CD-ROM can hold the contents of dozens of books.
"This is not bad." In the audience, an Erudite Sage touched his beard and said, "But I always feel that it doesn't have that kind of impact. It seems that the award-winning content of the Light of the Erudite Tower in recent years cannot give people anything new. Feel."
Another erudite sage chuckled and said, "Your taste has been spoiled by Prophet Duke."
"Isn't it?" A knowledgeable sage next to him said, "What achievements were those in the past few years? Film and television technology, the Ring of Branding, the Lingxi Projection, the Ring of Light! Each of them is a great achievement that changed the world. , it’s a pity that once the Lifetime Achievement Award comes out, there are no more great achievements.”
“No, no, it’s not that there are no great achievements, but great achievements are no longer included in the awards. In recent years, lightsaber technology and optical disc technology are very great...Duke Prophet is as productive and efficient as ever, and it’s an unforgettable achievement!”
“It seems like you haven’t heard from Prophet Duke recently?”
“That’s because you only focus on the field of erudition. Prophet Duke has recently been studying the way of nature, which is the practice route of Qihai monks.”
"I've also heard that it seems that Prophet Duke wants to recreate the way of knights and create a path of practice for Qihai monks. However, it is said that in the field of spiritual planting, there is a lot of criticism, and it even led to a bet between the two prophets kowtow."
“Bet and kowtow?”
"Yes, Master Alston Lanhe, the director of the Elf Research Institute, and Frannie Sanduck, the director of the Spiritual Plant Research Institute, one denounced the way of nature, and the other supported the way of nature, and they made a bet with each other. The loser kowtows twice, it’s so lively.”
“What was the result?”
"There is no result. It only takes a little more time, but it is not so easy to produce results. If you want to create a natural way, I am afraid it will not take decades."
Several erudite sages were not very interested in CD-ROM books, so they simply chatted about the way of nature below.
The lines are as separated as mountains, and everyone just hears the name, but it does not prevent them from discussing with each other with gusto, looking forward to the drama of stars and prophets kowtow to each other.
When the Light of the Erudite Tower gave a lecture on technology, everyone quickly dispersed, except for some people who were interested in CD-ROM books and wanted to chat with Tevant. Most of the viewers lack interest and just want to go home quickly and busy with their work.
However, the few learned sages had only reached halfway when they heard someone shouting.
“Outside the number, outside the number!”
“I just received news that Duke Prophet will broadcast the academic conference live at the Seven Towers Optical Television Station at nine o’clock tomorrow morning!”
“Frannie Sanduck and Alston Lanhe will participate in the academic live broadcast and explain the content of this academic conference together with Duke.”
“What a big event!”
“Three prophets, jointly released!”
In the Erudite Tower, not only ordinary employees were running around calling for help, arcane mages were also passing news to each other, and in a short time everyone knew about it.
"Hiss!" The old and learned sage scratched his beard, "Prophet Duke is going to hold a press conference again. This...isn't this a press conference for the way of nature?"
“It was only two or three months ago that we announced that we would study the way of nature. How could it be so fast?”
“It is no small matter that the three prophets jointly published it. It is really possible that they have researched it!”
"Is there a possibility." Linton Treehopper, a slightly younger erudite sage, put forward his own opinion, "is to declare that the way of nature...is unavailable? After all, there is Alston who has always been opposed to it. ·Prophet Lanhe."
The old and learned sage rolled his eyes: "If you fail, you still hold a press conference, unless you have a brain cramp, but do you think the three prophets will have a brain cramp?"
"Stop arguing, what are the facts? Just watch the live broadcast of the Seven Towers Optical Television Station on time tomorrow."
One spreads to ten, ten spreads to a hundred, and a hundred spreads to a thousand.
A tower of erudition, everyone is paying attention to tomorrow’s academic conference. The same is true outside. People in the entire Austrian Holy City and even the eighteen surrounding cities have learned about the academic conference to be held tomorrow in a very short period of time.
With the help of the Ring of Light, the news seemed to have wings of light and spread outward from the Holy City of Aufa. Within a day and night, everyone in the Seven Towers Federation knew about it.
At least the arcane mage group and the spiritual planter group are known to everyone.
The news was spread to many countries through the embassies of various countries in the Seven Towers Federation.
When I heard that the press conference was held by Prophet Duke, the leaders of these countries paid great attention to it. Even those countries that had not yet laid out the optical ring informed their embassy personnel that after the press conference, the information should be conveyed back to their countries immediately.
The name Duke is no longer limited to the Seven Towers Federation.
Eighteen human governments have gradually reached a consensus on Duke's status as the number one sage throughout the ages - even foreign countries earlier believed that Duke was the number one sage in the field of spiritual arcana. After all, foreign countries did not recognize Abbott's status as the top sage.
“Mr. Duke Prophet, you finally noticed our spiritual plant envoy!” A level 1 spiritual plant envoy heard the news and stayed in the mall that night.
He didn't have money to install a photoscope, so he had to come to the mall to hang out.
At this moment, I am looking forward to tomorrow, from the academic conference, I can see a glimmer of hope for the spirit plant envoy to stand up.
————
I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and family reunion!
