After bidding farewell to Bai Shan and others, Jia Chao did not find a place to rest. Instead, he quietly ran to the outskirts of the Baimu tribe and stole a river spirit statue.
That's right, it's stealing!
The river spirit statue may have been blessed with some special mark and cannot be placed in the spirit sea space.
A statue weighing hundreds of kilograms can only be carried around.
Fortunately, Jia Chao insisted on tempering his body with the flesh and blood spirit formula. Now his body has been greatly improved and he can lift the statue without any effort.
Under the cover of night and with his unique night vision ability, he quickly slipped out of the Baimu tribe.
Half an hour later, he had built an igloo in the nearby snow.
The igloo is under the snow and cannot be easily discovered by outsiders.
Jia Chao cleaned the He Ling statue and found that the shell of the statue was actually made of the stone-bone composite material on the surface of the spirit stone.
If you know how to make this material, you also know how to peel it off.
Jia Chao quickly removed this shell, revealing the true body of the statue.
These statues are all made of stone, using the power of rocks like centipede hair to shape them in one go.
Therefore, there are no traces of carving on the surface of the statue, but instead there are a large number of runes engraved on it.
Jia Chao quickly turned on the "point reading machine" mode, highlighting everything he didn't see.
After a while, there were more than a dozen newly lit runes on the rune engraving inheritance picture.
After interpretation, Jia Chao quickly determined the function of these runes. Sacrifice for protection!
By sacrificing the essence and blood of the protected person, the river spirit statue emits white mist that can interfere with the elemental spirits.
The snow rats summoned by the blue ice crystals will disappear as soon as they come into contact with the white mist.
As for those ordinary snow rats affected by the puppet snow rats, they will also become sluggish due to the interference, so they can be easily hunted.
After figuring this out, Jia Chao let out a long breath.
Sure enough, the people of the Baimu tribe were not cursed, but tricked by others.
As for the initiator behind it, it is naturally the gray-level elder of the Senluo Presbyterian Church mentioned by Bai Shan, Ji Heizi!
Even if he didn't do it himself, it should have a lot to do with him.
Jia Chao thought about it for a while and decided not to reveal the matter for the time being.
After all, for a strange tribe that didn't trust him at all, there was no point in provoking a gray-scale war god and the forces behind him.
So he carried the stolen river spirit statue back to the Baimu tribe at night and returned it to its original location.
Just when Jia Chao put the statue away and was about to leave, he sensed that the puppet snow rat he had left outside the Baimu tribe was showing signs of getting out of his control.
He immediately found the location of the puppet snow rat and summoned it out of the snow.
Unexpectedly, the puppet Snow Rat appeared very excited when he came out.
Judging from its behavior, it seems that there is something in the Baimu tribe that is attracting it.
When Jia Chao saw this, he didn't stop it and let it run towards the Baimu tribe.
But before he ran very far, the puppet snow rat turned into a puff of white smoke in a burst of white mist, and dissipated in the blink of an eye.
Jia Chao shook his head depressedly, forgetting that the statue of the river spirit could kill the puppet snow rat.
However, he did not give up, but entered the Baimu tribe and searched everywhere.
Taking out the prepared dried meat from the spiritual sea space, and then cutting his palm to get some blood, he could summon the puppet snow rat inside the Baimu tribe.
Although he is not big and cannot hold on for too long before being swallowed up by the white mist, he can bring Jia Chao closer to his destination again and again.
After releasing more than twenty puppet snow rats, he finally dug something under a tree that attracted the puppet snow rats.
This is also a river spirit statue, but it is much smaller than the other statues, only as big as a palm.
This statue is also covered with dense runes, and its surface glows with a faint red light.
Jia Chao put away the statue and filled it back with the excavated soil.
Not long after, he returned to the igloo where he was studying the river spirit statue.
This time, he once again harvested more than ten new runes.
By interpreting the runes on the large statues outside, Jia Chao finally figured out the meaning of these river spirit statues.
Those big statues and small statues are matched. In addition to creating white mist, all the big statues are also responsible for collecting the blood essence of the Baimu tribe people.
The collected essence and blood will be converted into essence through the statuette and fed back to the person who made the statue, so that he will have an endless supply of essence to produce essence and blood.
After studying and understanding this set of things, Jia Chao felt that the rune-engraved inheritance image in his body had undergone some changes.
When he used his spiritual sense to sense it, he discovered that the rune-engraved inheritance that was originally just a picture had turned into a three-dimensional rhombus.
The rhombus has six sides, each of which is a triangle.
Runes are drawn below the triangle, and above are some vague patterns composed of these runes.
It looks like a bunch of mathematical symbols and formulas composed of these symbols.
Jia Chao now understood that the rune engraving should correspond to six uses. As for what each side represents, he still couldn't figure out what it represented.
However, he did not expect that the practice of rune engraving could be upgraded.
He carefully observed every side of the rhombus, trying to gain more inheritance.
Soon, Jia Chao found several familiar formulas in the rhombus.
There is a sealing formula on the surface of the spirit stone to ensure that the blood of the spirit beast that stores soul power will not deteriorate.
There are also formulas specifically used to make substances hard, which Jia Chao has seen from the long ax borrowed from spiritual stones and winter grass.
As Jia Chao recognized more and more formulas, some related formulas became clear from their original vague state.
It's just that these formulas are incomplete, either lacking the runes to be lit, or they need to be understood and arranged correctly.
Jia Chao looked at these incomplete formulas and immediately understood that the process of learning rune engraving was to first light up the runes and then learn the formulas.
The more runes you light up, the more formulas you can learn.
So judging from the current situation, if you want to improve the inheritance of rune engraving, you still have to rely on sea tactics.
The unexpected gains in the inheritance of rune engravings made Jia Chao feel much more mentally balanced, and he was no longer so resistant to being recruited.
People should go out and walk more. You won't learn anything new if you keep working behind closed doors!
There are not enough convenient learning channels in this world. I have always relied on myself to explore and explore, and I will probably be beaten to death by others before I can grow up.
Instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative early.
Although the Senluo battlefield is cruel, people can learn something after all!
After comforting himself in this way, Jia Chao began to conduct research on the second topic.
He once again took out a piece of meat from the spiritual sea space, then cut his palm and summoned a pocket snow rat.
As soon as the snow rat appeared, it rushed towards the statue of the river spirit.
This time, no white mist escaped, and the snow rat rushed up and chewed the statue.
The statue was a creature with a human body and a fish head. The snow rat stared at the fish's mouth and gnawed on it, which gave Jia Chao a weird feeling.
He asked the snow rat to stop, and then he took out the fish's mouth with his dagger.
The outer surface of the statue was very hard, and he tried many methods but could not get it open.
Just when Jia Chao wanted to give up, he found a sign of damage on the statue.
He looked carefully and found that it was corroded by accidentally touching his blood.
So he cut his palm again and dropped a drop of blood into the fish's mouth.
After a while, a mark as big as a little finger was burned out of the fish's mouth.
Jia Chao took out the dagger and pulled it out until a crystal clear glass-like object was exposed.
Jia Chao once again used various tools, and finally poured water into it, and then used the water to freeze to push out the contents bit by bit.
This thing is a rhombus-shaped columnar crystal, about the thickness of a little finger, about five centimeters long, and there is a cold aura inside.
When the puppet snow rat saw this thing, it went crazy and wanted to pounce on it, but Jia Chao slapped it away.
Jia Chao couldn't figure out what this rhombus-shaped crystal was, so his mind sank and he entered the spiritual sea.
This time, the scenery in Linghai turned into a glacial lake. The lake was full of blooming ice crystal flowers, and two beautiful people stood among the flowers.
The moment Jia Chao appeared, Sister Pao and Bingniu's eyes fell on him.
Jia Chao came to the two beauties and greeted them respectfully.
Sister Pao curled her lips and said, "You are so polite. It seems like you have something to ask for."
Jia Chao chuckled and told the two about the rhombus-shaped crystal he had obtained.
After listening to Jia Chao's description, Bingniu seemed very excited.
"That's the [Heart of Ice], which can help the ice elemental spirit condense its spirit body!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Pao rolled her eyes at Bingniu.
When Bingniu saw this, she immediately covered her mouth and stopped talking.
But the information she revealed was enough. The thing called the Heart of Ice should be very important to the ice elemental spirit.
So Jia Chao asked Sister Pao: "Is this thing useful to me?"
Sister Pao: "Yes! Use your inheritance that can perfect the elemental spirit to absorb it, and you can take the power of the ice element to a higher level!"
After hearing this, Jia Chao suddenly became excited.
This is to make yourself go further and further towards the path of ice mage!
He quickly bid farewell to the two elemental spirits, left the spiritual sea, and used the seven methods of cultivating Yuan to fuse the ice heart.
Watching Jia Chao leave Linghai, the little girl with sky-high braids emerged from under the ice crystal flower again.
"What a pity! It's not the Heart of Thunder! Otherwise I could have a complete spirit form!"
The little girl said sadly, her eyes fixed on Bingniu, full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Bing Niu smiled coquettishly and said: "It is winter now, and there is ice and snow everywhere outside. It is more suitable for practicing the power of ice elements!"
The little girl didn't listen to her explanation at all. She pouted and said, "You are just lucky! Nothing else!"
At this time, Sister Pao persuaded: "Stop arguing! Do you really think that getting the heart of the elements is a good thing? The more complete the spiritual body is, the smaller the chance of leaving his spiritual sea! When he becomes a god, you will all become His prisoner!"
"..."
