The day after he obtained the "Thunder Cloud Technique", Li Nuo left the inner circle and prepared to go to the No. 1 Snow Mountain Islands to test the power of the "Thunder Cloud Technique".
Since he started delving into the meta-reactor, he hasn't left the core circle for nearly 10 days.
Hedwig, the deep-sea wizard who went out to sea to search for dragon treasures, must have returned to his shop.
Li Nuo had previously agreed with the other party that he would take time out to follow the other party out to sea and experience the grand scene in the moss-covered blue cave.
According to Hedwig, there are many, many dragon-like gadgets in that place. Therefore, Li Nuo designated the Mossy Blue Cave as a treasure place for himself to obtain energy value reserves.
Li Nuo found Hideaway's shop in the market area of Suman City. Sure enough, this tall and muscular wizard wizard was guarding the store, waiting boredly for customers to come.
Li Nuo is not here to buy anything today.
In the past half month, he had spent a lot of money on purchasing alchemy materials, and currently he only had 20,000 gold coins left in his pocket.
Before he clears out all the bounty missions accumulated by Jenna, there is no money to pay Hedwig to take him out to sea.
Li Nuo went to Shanghai Dewei and asked him to wait a few days before going to sea. He was so busy recently that he was dizzy.
Hedwig agreed.
He happily said that since Li Nuo bought a lot of things from him, he no longer had to worry too much about the rent of the store, let alone travel as frequently as before.
The two agreed that within ten days at the earliest and half a month at the latest, Li Nuo would pay for the voyage and go to the Mossy Blue Cave with Hedwig.
After arranging to obtain the energy reserve, Li Nuo used the magic ocean current to reach the No. 1 snow mountain island he bought.
This mountain, like a pointed cone, rises from the sea and reaches high into the sky. The snow-capped mountains are covered by hat-like white clouds all year round.
Li Nuo started flying upward from the foot of the mountain.
After waiting halfway up the mountain, there was a slight chill in the howling mountain wind.
As the wind became stronger, the air became colder, causing Li Nuo to shiver slightly.
Li Nuo temporarily stopped and flew into the hole in the mountain.
Li Nuo bought this island from Qian'an. Xi'an is the twenty-fifth heir to the Pangola family. The butler Keda beside her is actually the Serenity Knight who became famous many years ago.
Before Sian took possession of the island, the island was in the name of Dikla Fagan.
Keda said that after learning that Xi'an was arranged by the family owner to run the island here in the Suman Islands, Dikla Fagan did something bad. This guy mined all the islands that were about to be transferred to Qian'an and dug out the mineral deposits on them.
This is the case with Snow Mountain Island No. 1 bought by Li Nuo.
Its dark gray mountain is dotted with large and small holes, which are the traces left by Dikla Fagan when he sent people to mine the mineral deposits.
Now, these caves have become Li Nuo's temporary foothold.
He returned to his human form in the cave, took out the "anti-cold potion" from his magic pocket and drank it.
The medicine took effect, and the body was filled with warmth, which suddenly dispelled the coldness in the body.
Li Nuo once again cast "Death Flight" and climbed upwards, aiming directly at the mountain top shrouded in snow and clouds.
The surrounding coldness and the warmth brought by the potion were in fierce conflict. The two sides used Li Nuo's body as a battlefield to attack and fight each other.
Whenever a cold wind blows, Li Nuo will shiver, but then he will calm down due to the constant warmth in his body.
When the altitude exceeds 4,000 meters, the cold current intensifies significantly, and many ice shards floating in the wind appear in the air. They were like countless small blades, scraping across Li Nuo's body.
Li Nuo has a "magic shield" to protect him, so he doesn't have to worry about being harmed.
In fact, he did it deliberately to go to such a high and cold place and feel the cruel side of nature.
On the one hand, the mountains shrouded in white snow and clouds are the best place to test the "Thunder Cloud Technique".
On the other hand, Li Nuo also wanted to use the "Magic Shield" to test the magical power of various natural scenes.
Like the intense cold and cold wind he was enduring. From the moment he felt cold, the system prompted him to obtain a negative effect "Cold Erosion".
This negative effect will automatically accumulate layers over time. The higher the altitude, the more layers are stacked each time.
Not only will it make Li Nuo feel cold and numb in his limbs, it will also cause frost energy damage every second.
For each additional layer, the frost energy damage received per second is +1.
When Li Nuo was approaching the top of the snow mountain and about to dive into the clouds and mist, 99 layers of "Cold Erosion" had been superimposed, which meant that he received 99 points of frost energy damage every second.
When we finally got into the clouds and mist and stood on the top of the mountain covered with snow, the "cold erosion" suddenly increased by 50 levels, reaching 149 levels. And every time you stay here for 1.5 minutes, 50 layers will be automatically added.
Li Nuo looked around at the vast white scene and saw an apocalyptic scene of ice and snow.
He made some calculations and came to a conclusion.
With a level 100 "Magic Shield" and 40 points of "Spirit", he could last up to 240 minutes in this extreme cold environment.
As soon as the 240th minute arrives, his "magic shield" will be penetrated by frost energy damage, and his whole body will be immediately exposed to the sub-zero wind and snow.
If he does not drink the "cold-resistant potion" and reduce the stacking speed of "cold erosion", the length of time he can persist will be further reduced.
"If I master the meditation method of absorbing ice magic and wind magic, this snow mountain will be a good place for me to absorb magic."
Li Nuo faced the biting wind and snow and sighed secretly:
"However, I didn't buy this snow mountain to absorb magic power. If the system hadn't said it was the outlet of the "Dragon Tooth Reservoir", I wouldn't have bought this snow mountain that had been mined for mineral resources. "
Li Nuo never forgot the information he gained from deconstructing the snow-capped mountains.
Including Snow Mountain Island No. 1 under him, the three snow mountain islands in the Suman Islands are all the outlets of the "Longya Reservoir".
Since it is a water outlet, there must be something like a "pipe".
Li Nuo flew several times over the mountains despite the wind and snow, but found nothing except white snow, frost and clouds that blocked the sun.
Seeing that the "cold erosion" layer on the panel was getting higher and higher, Li Nuo gave up his plan to find a "water outlet" and began to test the "Thunder Cloud Technique".
With the cover of wind and snow, the magical energy fluctuations of "Thunder Cloud Technique" will be covered up, and Li Nuo does not need to worry about being discovered by the magic sentry.
He took out the elemental reactor, extracted 120 points of lightning energy from it, and cast "Thunder Cloud Technique".
The three energy balls, which originally had the appearance of spheres, merged together under the guidance of the spell and turned into a small dark cloud with faint flashes of thunder.
【system information:】
[You successfully cast "Thunder Cloud Technique". 】
[You currently have 120 points of lightning energy accumulated in the thunder cloud. 】
[Your energy value will be reduced by 12 points every hour until all the lightning energy in the thundercloud is released. 】
Li Nuo used his mind to control the little thunder cloud in front of him to stay away from him.
The thunderclouds were quickly covered up by the howling wind and snow.
Li Nuo found that since he could not see the thundercloud, his ability to control the thundercloud was greatly reduced.
He could only use the energy perception ability brought by "spirit" to vaguely locate the location of the thundercloud.
When the distance between the thundercloud and him exceeded 400 meters, the job of locating the thundercloud became more and more difficult. At most, he could only know in which direction the thundercloud was in his direction.
Li Nuo summoned Lei Yun back, threw the "Psychic Beacon" towards the opponent, and then controlled Lei Yun into the wind and snow again.
This time, his control over thunder clouds became much more precise.
With the help of the "Psychic Beacon", he can locate the location of thunder clouds in real time and accurately move the opponent to the designated location.
Li Nuo clicked on the spell interface of "Psychic Beacon" in his mind and threw "Psychic Vision" towards the beacon on the thunder cloud.
A magical vision filled with snowflakes and clouds appeared before his eyes, and from time to time, small blue lightning flashed across his vision.
"This is Lei Yun's perspective. Using the spell combination of "Psychic Beacon" + "Psychic Sight", I can control Thunder Cloud in the blind spot of the main body's vision. "
Li Nuo nodded slowly and began to test the maximum distance at which he could control the thunder cloud.
The area at the top of the snow mountain is not very large, and the widest part is no more than 5 kilometers.
Li Nuo and Lei Yun stood at both ends of the top of the mountain, with white snow disturbed by the cold wind in the middle.
In such a small distance, Li Nuo's control over the thunder clouds did not change.
Li Nuo speculated that as long as the straight-line distance between him and Lei Yun does not exceed the maximum sensing range of the "Psychic Beacon", which is 109 kilometers, then the connection between him and Lei Yun will not be interrupted.
The only embarrassing thing is that every time he gives an order, he has to wait 9.2 seconds before Lei Yun starts to act. This is a delayed response caused by the low level of "Evocation Magic".
In other words, if he wants to control the thunder clouds to release thunder and lightning to attack the enemy, he must first calculate the enemy's specific position after 9.2 seconds.
Otherwise, unless the enemy has the characteristic of attracting thunder and lightning, the lightning that goes straight is likely to be deflected.
If the process of launching thunder and lightning requires charging and reading, then it will be more difficult to attack the enemy with thunder clouds.
Li Nuo found a stone protruding from the ground in his magic vision and gave the order to Thunder Cloud to fire thunder and lightning.
After waiting for 9.2 seconds, a loud banging sound burst out from the thundercloud, and a bright blue ferocious lightning pierced the stone pointed by Li Nuo, exploding snowflakes and gravel.
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and gave Lei Yun a thumbs up.
The process of launching thunder and lightning is instantaneous, there is no reading situation, and the lightning flight speed is very fast, almost from the thunder cloud to the stone in an instant.
Li Nuo found his location in the magic vision and gave Lei Yun another command to fire thunder and lightning.
9.2 seconds later, bright blue lightning passed through the layers of clouds and accurately hit Li Nuo's shield.
The explosion of lightning hitting the target echoed in Li Nuo's ears, and a system message was refreshed in his mind:
【You are attacked by "Thunder Cloud". 】
[You received 50 points of lightning energy damage. 】
[The lightning damage resistance of your "Magic Shield (Level 100)" is 50%, and the shield value is reduced by 25 points. 】
The thunder is loud and the raindrops are small, which refers to the thunder and lightning shot by thunderclouds.
It doesn't matter if the damage is low, you can use the lightning energy generated by the meta-reactor to make up for it.
Li Nuo recalled Lei Yun and hovered it in front of him.
He took out the elemental reactor, extracted ball after ball of lightning energy from it, and stuffed them all into the thunder clouds.
The size of the thundercloud gradually increased, transforming into a real dark cloud.
When the "structure value" of the Yuan Reactor dropped by 50 points, Li Nuo stopped the operation of the reactor.
Looking at the thundercloud at this time, the lightning energy contained in it reached 2000 points, and it had turned into a black cloud two meters wide.
Li Nuo stopped the thunder cloud on the top of the mountain, and used "Death Flight" to fly downward.
After leaving the clouds on the top of the mountain, the view became bright and wide. The sea below gradually enlarged in Li Nuo's eyes, and the waves hitting the shore became clear.
Li Nuo lowered himself to a position halfway up the mountain and flew away from the top of the mountain, always paying attention to his ability to control the thunder clouds.
About 40 minutes later, Li Nuo arrived 100 kilometers west of Snow Mountain Island No. 1 and stopped flying between unfamiliar islands.
The magical vision provided by "Spiritual Vision" takes effect normally, and Li Nuo can still see the thundercloud perspective on the top of the snow mountain.
He identified a snow-covered stone in his magic vision and ordered the thunder cloud to shoot thunder and lightning at the opponent.
9.2 seconds later, a bolt of blue lightning nearly half a meter thick shot out, hitting the stone with a bang, splashing large snowflakes and stone chips.
The wind and snow on the top of the mountain were disrupted by this thunder and lightning bombardment, but soon returned to their original state amidst the everlasting cold wind.
"Wow~ I can really control thunderclouds a hundred kilometers away. Is this the remote control effect of "Thundercloud Technique", or is the "Psychic Beacon" at work? "
Li Nuo breaks the mental connection with the beacon in the thunder cloud.
The magical vision in front of him disappeared, and his ability to perceive thunder clouds was greatly weakened. He could only vaguely perceive the opponent's general position.
Under such a vague perception, Li Nuo gave Lei Yun the order to shoot thunder and lightning at the rocks.
After counting silently for 10 seconds, Li Nuo activated the spiritual beacon in the thunder cloud, threw out the "Psychic Vision", and opened the magical vision again.
Looking at the electric shock dent on the ground several meters away from the stone, Li Nuo now understood the value of the "Psychic Beacon".
As long as Lei Yun is within the perception range of the "Psychic Beacon", he, Li Nuo, can control all of Lei Yun's actions like an arm.
Of course, Leiyun's response delay is a minor drawback.
But that's not the point.
The point is that the sensing range of the "Psychic Beacon" is only 109 kilometers.
If Li Nuo wants to achieve ultra-long-distance global strike capabilities, he must find a way to expand the perception range of the "psychic beacon".
"There is no way. I remember that the third option among the ten-level additional rewards of "Psychic Beacon" is to convert "Psychic Beacon" into "Psychic Tracking". The perception range of "Psychic Tracking" is unlimited, but there is a limit on the number of tracking targets. Unlike "Psychic Beacon", you can place as many targets as you want. "
Li Nuo pulled out the spell panel of "Psychic Beacon" and looked at the words "Level: 100" on it.
Level 100 is the upper limit of the spell's level. Li Nuo cannot upgrade it to level 110 to obtain additional rewards for the entire ten levels.
Is there anything that can reset the spell level?
Yes, and Li Nuo can buy it. This thing is called "forgetting potion", which is usually used to erase some memories that should not exist.
Li Nuo had seen the "Potion of Oblivion" in the book "Encyclopedia of Magic Patterns and Magic Materials" before.
The system's decomposition results show that the "Forgetting Potion" can be used to help Li Nuo reset his spell level.
But correspondingly, the energy points used for upgrading will not be returned, and energy points will still be consumed when upgrading again.
Li Nuo is not in a hurry to reset his skill level for the time being. He can first buy a bottle of "Forgetting Potion" and put it on him until he needs it later.
In his magical vision, Li Nuo commanded Thunder Cloud to release his lightning energy and bombarded the top of the snow-capped mountains indiscriminately.
The size of the thundercloud becomes smaller as the energy decays, and finally disappears due to energy consumption.
At this point, the task of testing Thunder Cloud is completed, but this is only a small part of Li Nuo's plan to flexibly use Thunder Cloud and Yuan Reactor.
Yesterday, after getting the "Thunder Cloud Technique", he thought about it late into the night and came up with a complete plan to use thunder clouds and meta-reactors.
This plan requires him to prepare at least 10 million gold coins, hundreds of millions of energy points, and 100,000 soul strength points.
This is only the minimum requirement for implementing the plan.
The more he invests, the higher the level of combat wizards he can instantly kill here in the Suman Islands.
Now that the plan to improve "attack capability" has been determined, Li Nuo has put the work of improving "defense capability" on the agenda.
He must ensure that when facing a ten-ring battle wizard, he also has the "defense and counterattack ability" so that he will not be instantly killed by the opponent as soon as he comes face to face.
In terms of cost-effectiveness, it is the most cost-effective to be the first to use the "Metal Fusion" meditation method to boost "tenacity", "strength" and "will".
"This time I follow Hedwig to hunt for treasure in the Mossy Blue Cave. I must come back with a reserve of three to four million energy points. I will use all of these energy points to practice the "Metal Fusion" meditation method. "
In his thoughts, Li Nuo dived into the magic ocean current and returned to Suman City in the inner circle.
Before going to sea, he had to clean up the tasks that needed to be carried out and accumulate gold coins in his hand.
Li Nuo entered the island affairs department and came to the door of the bounty agent Janara's room by a familiar route.
After knocking on the door and stepping inside, Li Nuo saw a happy Janara.
"You're finally here, Jarvis~" Janara's attitude was enthusiastic, and she quickly brought hot tea with her "Wizard's Hand", and took out several scrolls from the pipe and put them on the table.
"I have selected many bounty missions and wanted orders in advance according to your screening requirements, and I am waiting for you to take over them." Janela couldn't stop smiling, as if she saw the scene of gold coins pouring towards her.
Only agents who have worked with Li Nuo can truly know how amazingly efficient the other party is. Janela is lucky enough to be this person.
Seeing that the other party was ready for the mission, Li Nuo skipped the polite process and picked up the wanted poster on the table to check it out.
A few minutes later, Li Nuo picked out a special one from more than a dozen wanted notices.
Hey, the author has a fever and has been feeling a little uncomfortable the past few days. I have enough manuscripts saved, but I don’t have the energy to revise them, so the number of updates has been temporarily halved, and one chapter will be updated every day. When the disease is cured, the recovery will be long.
Thank you for your understanding and support!
