Li Nuo distributed the magic scrolls, two copies per person, one each for "Mind Shield" and "Soul Shield".
Seeing this, Darrick patted his chest and promised that he would include the cost of the magic scroll when distributing the spoils.
Everyone held magic scrolls that could protect their hearts and souls, and the pressure on their hearts weakened. But as the "rustling" noise in my ears intensified, a sense of oppression gathered in the cabin.
"How long do we have before we can sail out of this sea area?" Darrick asked Henderson, who was driving the boat.
"About 20 minutes." Henderson complained:
"It's really terrible. Does the ritual of communicating with the alien space have such a wide range of influence? We are now at least 10 kilometers away from the cargo ship, and we can still hear the damn alien noise."
Other team members also complained. Some people even tried it by covering their ears with their hands, but it didn't work at all.
That "rustling" noise doesn't seem to be transmitted through air vibrations.
Block your ears, or lock yourself in an airtight, soundproof cabin, and you can still hear the noise from the alien sky.
This strange phenomenon frightened the alchemists who heard the alien noise for the first time.
Fortunately, the magic scroll Li Nuo gave worked.
Several younger gold merchant swords curiously used the magic scrolls they had just received, and immediately drove the noise from the alien sky out of their minds.
However, the shield's duration is very limited.
While the shield lasted, they felt the long-lost tranquility and peace.
After a minute, the duration of the shield ended, and his peaceful mind was suddenly invaded by alien noises.
The huge contrast between before and after made the scalps of these gold merchants' swords tingle, their brows twitching, and they became even more disgusted by the lingering alien noise.
They had to pay the price for their curious behavior and personally dug into their own pockets to buy a few more scrolls from Li Nuo as backup.
Li Nuo returned to the lounge and quickly made several magic scrolls and handed them to the swordsmen of the gold merchants.
Just when he was putting the opponent's aggregate coins into his pocket, the "rustling" sound in his ears rose and fell like the waves of the ocean. The noise became high and low, distant and near, as if someone was holding a stereo and rocking it back and forth to my ears.
"It sounds awful..."
"I'm going to vomit...my head is so dizzy..."
"My stomach is twitching...Is there a bug about to come out..."
"I feel like there are little bugs crawling in my head..."
"yue..."
The combination of the ups and downs of extraterrestrial noise and the swaying of the ship's hull with the waves made the expedition team members who had been traveling at sea for a long time become seasick, not to mention the gold merchants' swords.
There was a chaos in the cabin. Some people were holding on to the seats and trying to calm down. Some people were lying on the windows and vomiting outside. Some people fell to the ground and rolled back and forth like wooden barrels.
Daric reminded them to activate the alchemical weapons.
More than a dozen rays of light summoning alchemical weapons lit up in the cabin, the gold merchant's sword turned into an armored grizzly bear, and the expedition team members had extra dark blue streamlined underwater armor.
With the help of Alchemy Arms, everyone's situation is much better, but they are still affected by the noise from the alien sky.
They sat on the chairs, clutching the armrests tightly, like people with a bad stomach trying to hold back their stomach, holding on without saying a word. Some people couldn't wait to use the magic scroll, and their complexions improved, but they soon fell into a pale state again.
The only ones who could remain standing at the scene were Darrick, Haidson, Ms. Esmere and Li Nuo.
The first three rely on their own strength to resist noise pollution, while Li Nuo relies on the power of magic.
Li Nuo tested it.
He cast "Mind Shield" and "Soul Shield" on himself one after another to compare the effects of the two.
The effect of "Psychic Shield" is relatively limited, and the noise reduction rate is about 50%.
The "Soul Shield" has an outstanding effect and has a miraculous effect on extraterrestrial noise, which can completely block the noise.
Li Nuo put on the "Soul Shield" and his mind suddenly became quiet.
Judging from the messages sent by the system, the so-called extraterrestrial noise does affect the mind and soul.
As for why the "Soul Shield" is so much more effective than the "Mind Shield", Li Nuo didn't know.
After confirming that the "soul shield" had a miraculous effect, Li Nuo tried to lift the shield and let himself feel the power of the alien noise firsthand to see if he could start passive deconstruction.
“Swiss, swiss, swish…
"Beep beep porphyra beep porphyrin
“Bah—bah—bah—
"Shashasha…"
Li Nuo resisted the urge to vomit, and his heart trembled.
Among the noise, he distinguished a very familiar voice.
"Beep beep porphyra beep porphyrin
"Bah-bah-bah-"
Isn't this the sound the modem makes when dialing up? !
Why is there this thing in the alien noise?
Li Nuo didn't understand what was going on for a while.
In fact, just as he made out the sound of the modem, more types of noise flooded into his head.
"Beep beep beep..."
"Kaka, kaka..."
"Beep--"
"Boom-boom, boom-boom"
Some of these sounds were very familiar to Li Nuo, but he couldn't remember where he had heard them before, and some were very strange and he had never heard them before.
All kinds of voices were running around in his head, making him dizzy, and a halo of light echoed in circles in front of his eyes.
Before the convulsions in his stomach reached its peak, Li Nuo cast "Soul Shield" to isolate the noise from the alien sky.
With his mind quiet, Li Nuo slowly exhaled and called up the system messages to check.
It was no wonder that he endured the discomfort and resisted the alien noise, and the passive deconstruction was successfully triggered!
【system information:】
[You have been mentally attacked by "alien space noise"! 】
[Since the mental attack has no substantial negative impact on you, this passive deconstruction will be triggered as usual. 】
[You have obtained the following decomposition results:]
[1. Text information in the mental attack: aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ…]
【2.You learned about a characteristic of "alien space noise":】
【Signal Resonance】
[Individual targets who hear alien space noise will become sub-signal sources in parallel with the source of the noise. Sub-signal sources interfere with each other, causing signal coupling and coordinated resonance, which will continuously increase the signal strength of the sub-signal sources. Splitting the sub-signal sources can prevent the occurrence of signal resonance and effectively reduce the signal strength of the sub-signal sources. 】
Li Nuo glanced at the decomposition results in his mind, thought about it carefully, and came up with a countermeasure in his mind.
He walked up to each team member and manually changed their facial orientation and seating order so that no one else was within sight of each of them.
After doing this, something wonderful happened.
The team members who were feeling dizzy at first suddenly felt much more relaxed. The dizziness in my mind and the nausea in my stomach were only one-fifth of what they were before.
After the situation improved, everyone was surprised and turned around to communicate. As soon as they turned their heads, other people appeared in their eyes, and they also appeared in other people's eyes.
That overwhelming dizziness came over again.
"Don't move!"
Li Nuo warned loudly:
"Keep the sitting position and orientation I have arranged for you! Don't move! As long as there is no one else in your field of vision, the alien noise in your mind will not be so strong."
"Do as Li Lei said!" Darik shouted, nodding towards Li Nuo with a look of affirmation in his eyes.
The cabin entered a quiet state, with only the sounds of sea breeze, night rain and waves floating around.
After maintaining it for about 3 minutes, the burdens on everyone suddenly disappeared, and everyone felt relaxed as if they had taken off invisible restraints.
"We are out of that sea area." Henderson stood in front of the operating console, wiping his sweat and said:
"It seems that the ritual on the cargo ship can only affect the sea area where the ship is located. Madam, please release the alchemy toy ship. We must seal off that sea area as soon as possible."
"It'll be ready soon, give me half a minute."
Ms. Esmere used a multifunctional mechanical wrench to fiddle with the alchemy toy boat a few times, then picked it up and carried it outside the cabin, throwing it onto the sea.
The alchemy array in the alchemy toy boat was activated, and two streams of water spurted out from behind the boat.
The entire ship suddenly accelerated to a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, turning into a sharp arrow that clung to the sea and pierced into the sea where the cargo ship was located.
A majestic sight towering from the sky to the ground appears before your eyes.
On the black sea surface, a wall of gray mist rose from the ground, rising from the bottom of the sea and reaching an altitude of 10,000 meters at lightning speed.
At this time, looking at the sea area where the cargo ship was located, there was only dense gray fog, and there was no trace of the sea water, the night sky, the night rain, or the ship.
In this world, the basis for dividing sea areas is not water depth, seabed trends, and ocean currents, but the lost sea fog.
The edge of the lost sea fog is the dividing line of the sea.
So how did Hudson know that the research ship had sailed out of the previous sea area?
This is the credit of the Alchemy Navigation Instrument. This essential alchemy prop for navigation is installed on the console and has a visual interface full of grid lines.
The ship's navigation trajectory will be recorded by the alchemy navigation instrument, reduced at a ratio of 10,000:1, and presented on a visual interface created by alchemy. The visual interface will intuitively show the position of the ship and help the driver determine the specific location of the ship.
The ship logo on the visual interface has crossed the bold sea area dividing line, which means that the ship has left the original sea area and entered a new sea area.
Now, the area marked as "Eastern No. 117 Offshore Area" on the visual interface has been completely shrouded in the lost sea fog.
Ships outside the Lost Sea Fog can sail into the fog and forcefully enter the sea area, but they will soon reduce their speed under the influence of the Lost Sea Fog until they enter a completely stationary state.
The expedition team members had been lost in the sea fog many times at sea, so it was no surprise at this time.
The Swordsmen of the Gold Merchant suddenly felt strange and couldn't help but stare at the rolling gray sea fog.
After seeking permission from Ms. Esmere, Hudson drove the boat to the edge of the fog and stopped.
Everyone disarmed their alchemical weapons here, leaving precious transformation time for possible subsequent battles.
Looking at the gray mist less than half a meter away from the outer metal plate, Hudson made a bold move.
He grabbed the railing, leaned out of the boat, and buried his head in the gray mist.
Most of his body was still on the boat, but the area above his neck had entered the lost sea fog.
After maintaining this action for about a minute, Henderson pulled back his head, his face pale but with a thick smile on his face, and he shouted in surprise:
"Big discovery! Guys! We have a new investigation report to write! After I put my head into the fog, I heard the noise from the alien sky. But when I took my head out, the noise from the alien sky was gone! What does this mean? Guys! This shows that the lost sea fog can block the noise of the alien sky, it is far more than just blocking the progress of the ship!"
Hudson yelled to calm down the excitement in his heart and successfully aroused the emotions of the expedition team members.
A group of people rushed to the fence to experience the huge difference that a wall makes.
That novel experience of being able to hear the noise when you stretch your head, and being able to get rid of the noise when you shrink your head, is not to mention how exciting it is, just like repeatedly testing on the edge of death...
Their adventurous behavior can be described as "looking for shit (and death)".
Ms. Esmere did not stop the team members.
She took out her notepad, began to carefully record the experimental data, and directed the inspection team members to conduct experimental operations.
When it comes to sea experiments, she is as fanatical as her expedition team.
Dalek coughed a few times, interrupted Ms. Esmere's operation, and asked if he wanted to sail away from the eastern waters of No. 117 where the cargo ship was located.
After thinking for a few seconds, Ms. Esmere gave a negative answer.
"Don't worry about the imperial soldiers on the cargo ship catching up, Dalek. People and ships that are forcibly moved in the fog of the Lost Sea will be lost forever, and it will never be possible to get out of the fog. Besides, we still have to wait here for the Alchemy Temple to send us. helper."
Darrick thought it right and simply asked his team members to help the expedition team conduct sea experiments.
Li Nuo avoided the busy outer corridor and came to stand in the corridor near the stern of the ship.
He squinted at the gray fog in front of him, carefully observing every detail of the fog.
Rolling, breaking, floating, ripples...
This extremely weird fog kept changing its posture in the air, but it never drifted out even a wisp of fog in the direction of the research ship.
An invisible force bound the mist in the eastern sea area of No. 117, but Li Nuo never felt any energy fluctuations.
"What kind of fog is caused by extraordinary characteristics?"
Li Nuo muttered to himself and threw the Deconstruction Technique towards the mist.
【system information:】
[You are about to use deconstruction on "Lost in the Sea Mist". 】
[It is estimated that 1 billion energy points will be consumed to achieve 100% deconstruction completion]
"1000000000…"
Li Nuo twitched the corner of his mouth and gave up the idea of deconstruction.
Fortunately, deconstructing the Lost Sea Mist will not have any negative impact, otherwise he would have to pay 10 billion to deconstruct it harmlessly.
Li Nuo rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.
He cast "Soul Shield" on himself, learned to observe the movements of his team members, and stuck his head into the fog.
His face touched the gray mist, and he felt the icy coolness, like a drizzle of rain falling on his face.
Li Nuo took a breath. He didn't feel short of breath. There was air in the mist.
He listened again. Although his view was blocked and no one could be seen, the conversation of the expedition team could be heard around him. It seems that sound can also propagate in the fog, and the position of the sound source does not shift.
Li Nuo stretched out his right arm towards the mist and punched hard.
The mist rolled violently with the punching movement, and there was no effect of triggering passive deconstruction in Li Nuo's mind.
The punch was empty.
Li Nuo found a lighter from his backpack and lit it with a click in the mist.
Li Nuo widened his eyes, looking forward to seeing the flames melting the mist.
But he was destined to be disappointed.
A few wisps of gray mist passed through the flames, safe and sound.
It was obvious that the flames sprayed by the lighter only consumed the air in the mist and did not damage the gray mist at all.
While Li Nuo used the "Soul Shield" to block the noise from the outer space, he also tried different methods to passively deconstruct the fog.
As for passively deconstructing the noise from the alien sky, Li Nuo gave up the idea after repeated consideration.
The reason is simply that it sounds awful.
He was quite curious as to why the sound of modem dialing appeared among the noise in the alien sky.
But don’t take the risk of being hit in the head by noise just because you’re curious.
If there is really no way to passively deconstruct the fog, it is not too late to take the risk and passively deconstruct the noise of the alien sky.
Li Nuo tried several methods one after another, but none of them could harm the mist at all.
Just when he was about to ask Ms. Esmere for advice, a crisp "click" sound sounded in his ears.
This is the sound caused by the "soul shield" being shattered, and Li Nuo is all too familiar with it.
"Soul Shield" is now at level 20. It can withstand 20 soul-level injuries in one minute and has the feature of "cyclic casting".
The shield magic is automatically cast in cycles, with a maximum number of times per second limit. Li Nuo's current "Spirit" is 22 points, and the shield magic can be automatically cast 22 times in one second.
A simple calculation shows that only when he sustains 441 soul-level attacks within 1 second will his "soul shield" be penetrated and his soul will be damaged.
Now, the starry sky noise he endures obviously cannot reach the rated rate of 441 soul attacks per second.
At the same time that the shield was shattered, a new shield was automatically released, protecting Li Nuo's soul.
"Click."
The new shield also shattered, lasting less than two seconds.
This means that in just two seconds, Li Nuo's soul suffered 20 attacks.
Li Nuo's expression changed slightly and he pulled his head back from the fog.
Since the shield blocked the noise from the outer space, he didn't know how intense the noise was just now.
Li Nuo turned his head and looked towards the bow of the ship, focusing on the expedition team members who had their heads stuck into the fog.
These people kept their heads stretched forward and their bodies did not twitch or shake, as if they had not been attacked at the soul level.
Li Nuo suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He used the "Soul Shield" to block the noise from the alien sky. How did the expedition team do it? Weren't they tortured to death by the noise before? Why do they seem to be fine now?
Could it be that the attack he suffered just now was only directed at him?
There is another chapter to come!
