Zhang Changkong's refining of the giant snake this time is different from the previous refining of the fanged pig leader. The giant snake is a ferocious beast, and the power of the ferocious beast corresponds to the strength of the mage realm. The gap between the mage and warlock realms is larger than that of the late warlock and the early and mid-term warlock. It was huge, beyond Zhang Changkong's imagination.
Even if the "Secret Skeleton Technique" is a special spell, it is impossible for a warlock to use a ferocious beast corpse to refine a skeleton war beast with the strength of a ferocious beast. If it is refined by a mage, it is still possible.
However, Zhang Changkong did not need to refine a skeletal war beast with the strength of a ferocious beast. He was mainly interested in the giant snake's innate spells. As long as the refined skeletal war beast had a weakened version of its innate spells, he would be satisfied.
The giant snake's innate spell has space attributes and has a certain storage function. Zhang Changkong has so many vitality stones that he can't use them all. However, he is not strong enough and these wealth cannot be revealed, so he lacks a storage space. If he can save this giant snake If he uses his innate spells as storage space, he will be able to carry a lot more things with him when he goes to the wilderness with the Sky Master. This is of great significance for things that cannot be exposed, such as vitality stones.
That's why after he saw the giant snake's innate magic, he risked his life to pursue that glimmer of hope.
If it were another ferocious beast, he might have given up. For him, he had advanced materials that he couldn't effectively use, and he didn't want to risk being hacked by exchanging with monks in the mage realm. In his heart, Deep down, he doesn't believe in anyone, so he never puts his own safety on other people's moral values.
If his qualifications are average and his cultivation is difficult to improve, then even if he makes a deal with the devil, he can only bite the bullet and spend everything he has to improve his cultivation.
However, he has extraordinary qualifications. Even if he doesn't rely on others, he can advance to a higher level even if he spends more time. In this case, he will run the risk of being killed by others and taking the treasure, unless his head is caught between the crack of the door or kicked by a donkey. .
So for these years, he guarded a vein of vitality stone without any thought of trading with others. If he could not use up the vitality stone, he would feed it to the bugs, and the bugs would eat it up and bury it.
He doesn't seek infinite magic, as long as the magic is enough. He doesn't covet many geniuses and treasures, just enough is enough. He doesn't make any friends. He can face everything by himself.
Although Zhang Changkong has faced many crises over the years, he can bear them all by himself. He does not need to rely on anyone or think about how to take advantage of the situation. This is because he always stays awake and knows his own strength. Enough to withstand various levels of risk, as long as it exceeds his ability to bear, he would rather spend more time accumulating strength than take a shortcut by considering various external forces.
Therefore, he never considered exchanging the corpse of the ferocious beast for something more useful to him.
Therefore, if he hadn't taken a fancy to the innate magic of this giant snake and beast, he would most likely not have taken the risk.
"The "Secret Skeleton Technique" can theoretically refine skeleton war beasts of ferocious beast level, but this requires magic power at the mage level, and possibly runes that can only be mastered by the mage level." Zhang Changkong felt that the "Secret Skeleton Technique" extracted huge amounts of It is a bit slow for the snake's flesh and blood essence to condense onto the bones, and it is even more difficult to leave a mana mark through secret methods.
The main reason is that there is an order of magnitude difference between the purity of his magic power and the body of the ferocious beast.
However, Zhang Changkong is a late-stage warlock after all. Not only is his magic power much more pure than that of an early-stage warlock, but he also has the assistance of spiritual consciousness.
After half a day, the giant snake was finally refined by him. Even the energy in the blood flowing on the ground was drained by Zhang Changkong and re-injected into the giant snake's body.
After refining it, the giant snake's blood seemed to have solidified, its flesh and blood had lost its activity, and traces of black gas occasionally appeared on its scales.
"Although refining is very difficult, the essence of the giant snake has been temporarily locked in the body, and it should not evaporate much in three days." Zhang Changkong felt that this time it might take more time than he expected. The body of the giant snake was connected for two thousand meters. Even if Zhang Changkong was very sophisticated in controlling his magic power, refining it once still cost him most of his magic power, and he still had twenty-three magic powers left in his body.
"It takes three days to restore mana, which is a three-day cycle. It takes about ten times to refine the essence of the giant snake's flesh and blood into the bones. What is even more difficult is the essence in the scales. To refine the essence of the giant snake's whole body into the bones, I'm afraid it will It takes more than thirty times, and the giant snake has no snake scales, so it needs to refine the corrosive black energy unique to the skeleton beast to move."
In fact, it doesn't actually take much for a skeleton war beast to corrode black energy, because it consumes mana to generate corrosive black energy, and its attack power is only average. Skeleton war beasts are generally used as consumables. If someone smashes a skeleton war beast, it will be destroyed. there is none left.
Although it is not meaningless for a mercenary to equip one submachine gun and ten submachine guns, the increase in combat effectiveness is not directly proportional to the investment. Besides, the life-saving ability of a mercenary on the battlefield sometimes depends on his face, and if he has a bad face, it means nothing.
However, another function of the corrosive black energy is to provide movement, or flight ability, for some refined skeletal beasts without legs.
If the corrosive black energy didn't have this function, could it be that Zhang Changkong used the skeleton war beast refined from the giant snake as a weapon to hit people or use it as a city defense cannon?
"It will take about four months. It would be great if the Golden Needle Wasp had a basic IQ. It could go back and fetch some spiritual stones for me. If that doesn't work, you could send me a letter back. It's a pity." Zhang Changkong shook his head. , he could let the Golden-needle Wasp stay here and go back by himself, but considering the strength of the Golden-needle Wasp, in this Sanhe Rainforest, it might not take three to five days for the bugs attracted by the beast's corpse to eat all the residue or He didn't care about disobeying his orders and running away when his life was threatened. After all, his orders were time-sensitive, and he didn't know how long it would take him to go back and forth on his own.
Thinking of this, Zhang Changkong walked out of the stone house and turned his head to look at the Wasp with some regret.
"Huh? What is it doing?"
Zhang Changkong saw that most of the Golden Needle Wasp's body was submerged into the Centipede King's head, which had lost most of its head. It seemed that it was devouring the Centipede King's flesh and blood.
"However, King Centipede has venom glands in its body, and the Wasp doesn't seem to be resistant to poison." Zhang Changkong didn't know whether the Wasp could distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous parts. However, he was too lazy to care, maybe he ate the King Centipede. , the Golden Needle Wasp will greatly increase in strength and may be poisoned to death on the spot.
Although Golden Needle Wasp has been with him for a long time and is his most satisfying flying mount, it is just a bug after all. Now that Zhang Changkong's bugs have exceeded double digits, the life and death of one or two bugs is not worth his concern. .
Zhang Changkong used gravity to fly high into the sky. After seeing a river in the distance, he immediately flew over.
Soon, he came back with a few fish.
Zhang Changkong's days became a monotonous cycle, refining skeletal beasts, recovering mana, and occasionally killing some insects or bugs attracted by the corpses of ferocious beasts.
Qi's life was very ordinary, but he was a little surprised by the golden-needle wasp. It had been eating the meat of the centipede king, but there was no sign of poisoning. The powerful digestive ability of the insects could quickly digest even the king centipede king's meat. The centipede king was Quickly eaten by wasps.
