Gavin also thought of a piece of equipment that perfectly matched it - the Skeleton Cannon.
Its floating flying method makes its back a natural firepower platform. Some large-scale war equipment can be directly equipped on it. The powerful magic cannon with its own filling capacity is naturally the first choice.
Although the Skeleton Cannon is very suitable for those dark tree men, it can allow them to fire one more round.
But knowing the principle, how could Gavin not conduct research in this area?
Not only is the Skeleton Cannon being imitated at Vizeme Manor, it is also being upgraded and improved to further tap into the potential of that unique magical weapon.
A lot of research is afraid of not having a direction. Once there is a direction, especially when there is a successful precedent, many things will become much simpler. This is the case with the Skeleton Cannon.
This is all a matter for the future. The most urgent task now is to capture this cloud ray.
It is true that the Fairy Charm Bracelet has the ability to permanently control the cloud ray, provided that it can win the will confrontation and make its soul consciousness surrender.
Whether it is the toughness based on physical attributes, or the confrontation of will derived from inner attributes, in addition to the magic protection bonus brought by professional level and high life dice, there are also many variables in itself.
When a person's energy and spirit are at their peak, and their body is free from disease and disaster, regardless of their strength or willpower, the possibility of success will be greatly increased.
But if the situation is just the opposite, a person who has not slept, eaten, or drank water for a long time, and has been suffering from various diseases, is afraid that whether it is strength or willpower, he will be at a disadvantage, and the possibility of success will be greatly reduced.
Torture to extract confessions is based on this principle.
Now Gavin and the others are doing the same, first weakening Yun Ray's will to resist to the extreme, and then using the charm ability of the fairy charm bracelet.
They only have one chance. Once the charm fails, Cloud Ray will become immune to this charm for twenty-four hours.
If you want to try again, you have to wait for twenty-four hours. As the number of attempts increases, its resistance in this regard will gradually increase, and the difficulty of enchantment will rise linearly.
In this matter, Gavin has an advantage that others don't have. Don't forget, he is an arcana master, proficient in psychic attacks, and can directly carry out mental destruction on Yun Ray.
A high hit dice is not without any benefits. At least the basic bonuses in all aspects are not generally high, even the will bonus provided by the inherent attributes that Cloud Ray is not good at.
In this aspect, Cloud Ray is not as weak as Gavin expected. It does not mean that its soul consciousness is very powerful.
Instead, it uses its huge body as a fortress shield to hide its soul consciousness very, very deeply.
When Gavin's psychic attack hit the door, it had already been severely weakened and the impact it caused was very limited.
Faced with this situation, Gavin was not surprised but overjoyed.
After all, the purpose of collecting cloud rays is to use them as strategic weapons.
Gavin is not worried about the strength of Cloud Ray, but is afraid that it is too weak and has fatal shortcomings. Although it is easy for him to start from this aspect, his enemies will also use this aspect as an attack point in the future.
It doesn't matter if the soul consciousness is hidden deep, he can use physical methods to dig it out from the depths of the body.
Seeing that there were only a few hundred meters left from the ground, Gavin directly increased the weight of the War Reaver that he had been holding back to the maximum.
Click! Click! Click!
Gavin did nothing, and the War Reaver launched an attack on Cloud Ray with its own weight of twelve hundred tons.
The flesh and blood sank directly where the War Marauder was, and there was a clear sound of bones breaking and tendons cracking.
The cloud ray let out a roar of pain. The current situation was that the more it tried to stop its body from falling, the greater the impact pressure the terrifying hammer on its body brought to its body.
But if you give up your resistance, the terrifying weight will bring you to the ground. Just your own weight can knock you half to death, not to mention that there is a hammer with astonishing density and weight on your body, which will directly knock you down. body breakdown.
Even though he knew he was drinking poison to quench his thirst, he still had to struggle with all his strength, but he could not avoid the fate of his body hitting the ground like a huge meteorite.
Just when the cloud ray was only thirty or forty meters away from the ground and was waiting for death in despair, it suddenly felt a lightness on its back, and the terrifying pressure disappeared.
Although it didn't understand what was going on, the cloud ray still tried its best to encourage the cloud ray to float upward as much as possible, even though it had always done this before.
The cloud ray showed an almost demonic ability to levitate. Even though the acceleration of the fall had already occurred, when the extra terrifying weight was gone, it only rushed down for more than ten meters, and forcibly recovered above the dense forest trees. still.
Even the giant dragons don't have this kind of ability. If they face this situation, they will probably fall to the ground with their heads on the ground. It's just a matter of the severity of the fall.
But just as it stopped the car, the terrifying weight came again, pressing it directly and hitting the ground.
The cloud ray once again let out a huge roar.
Not only did the hammer on its body forcefully crush its back, but the remaining dense trees, many of which were like sharp thorns, penetrated deeply into its body, and most of which were like weeds and hard. Overwhelmed.
The next second, it ignored the pain on its body. A psychic storm swept through its brain, tearing its thinking consciousness into pieces and washing it away repeatedly, giving it no chance to resist.
The reason why Gavin went through twists and turns and caused so much trouble was because he didn't want Cloud Ray to be too seriously injured. Otherwise, they would be the ones in trouble in the end. The opponent's vitality was as high as 500, and it would be troublesome to treat it.
"You can try to control it with the bracelet's ability." Gavin said to Shanobah who followed him down.
Shanobah's pretty face showed an unconcealed eagerness to try. She couldn't help but rub the charm elf bracelet back and forth. Finally, she shook her head and said: "It's best for you, General, to come in person. After all, fear is also a very useful tool." The means of surrendering prisoners, plus the fact that the general's abilities in all aspects are better than mine, will make him more likely to succeed. Once he is brought back and trained, the difficulty of changing hands again will be greatly reduced, I think."
"In recent times, not only have your abilities increased, but your ideas have also matured a lot. Okay, then let me do it." Gavin praised Shanoba, and without any further refusal, he directly drew the Dragon Oak Staff. Come out, guide the power of life, and the bright emerald green light falls from the sky and falls directly on the Yun Ray.
The gentle life force was integrated into its body, nourishing the wound, greatly alleviating the physical pain, and at the same time, it also slightly regrouped its fragmented soul consciousness that had been destroyed by Gavin's mental attack.
"Now I give you two choices, surrender or die." Gavin used the spell-like ability to communicate with animals and plants to communicate with the cloud ray.
Thick fear came from the other side.
Whether it is Gavin's spell-like ability or the ability of druids to communicate with animals and plants, there is no way to give those animals and plants the ability to speak. Not only is their language ability a problem, but also because their intelligence is not enough to allow them to speak. They organize words.
This method of communication is more about conveying the other party's main emotions and tendencies through emotional perception.
As Shanoba just said, fear is also an effective means of surrendering prisoners. As long as it succumbs, the rest can be slowly trained and cultivated.
Gavin no longer hesitated and directly activated the super giant fairy charm bracelet in his hand.
Like a real light, it burst out from his eyes, directly penetrated the huge body of the cloud ray, and found the incorporeal mini cloud ray in the deepest part.
In this world of soul consciousness, the two bodies are completely reversed.
Gavin was as tall as a storm giant, and the cloud ray became a large bird that danced around him.
Cloud Ray's feelings towards Gavin are very complicated.
There is no doubt about the fear from the heart, not only because of the series of restraining blows the other party has brought to it before, but also because of the terrifying aura exuded by the other party. The two parties do not belong to the same species.
This feeling is especially intuitive when the soul consciousness touches it. The other person is not a person, but a god.
The power of the gods that Gavin is currently involved in is not just a tiny bit, but it is sensitively sensed by the cloud ray.
There is also a touch of intimacy, which is influenced by the natural atmosphere.
At the end, there was a strong plea, seemingly asking Gavin for help.
"Don't worry, I won't let your children get hurt in any way. From now on, they are my own children." With just a touch, Gavin understood what Cloud Ray was asking for help.
Not to heal yourself, but to help it save the child.
It was because of this unexpected episode that the confrontation between the two sides ended prematurely, giving Gavin the opportunity to take action.
As for the trio of thieves, Gavin and the others had already discovered them when they launched an operation against Cloud Ray.
Their Shadow Cloak is effective against Cloudray, but not against Gavin who possesses the Stone of Insight.
The reason why they were not touched was because they found that there were no spellcasters among them, so they could be used as spoilers. Even if they successfully stole the cloud ray eggs, they would not be able to run far.
Gavin would have done this even without Cloud Ray's request.
Although artificial breeding of cloud rays has the disadvantage of being time-consuming and expensive, the key is stability, and at the same time, you can use the resources at hand to shape and cultivate them according to your own will.
The number of wild cloud rays is limited, and when all forces realize their value, they will become extinct in the wild.
In the end, only artificial breeding was left. In this matter, Gavin naturally could not lag behind and always take the absolute lead.
After receiving Gavin's promise, Cloud Ray's soul consciousness let out a cheer, flew towards Gavin's wrist, and got directly into the fairy charm bracelet.
On the blank spaces of the fairy charm bracelet, cloud-shaped vein patterns unique to cloud rays appear. Anyone who has seen cloud rays can't help but connect the two.
When Cloud Ray's soul consciousness settled in, both the name and attributes of this fairy charm bracelet changed.
It’s no longer a fairy charm bracelet, but a cloud ray control bracelet.
Cloud Ray Control Bracelet.
This charm bracelet originated from the tree spirit has established an intimate spiritual connection with a cloud ray. After synchronizing with this bracelet, you can communicate directly with it, just like you have the Druid's ability to interact with animals. Plants have the same ability to communicate.
Cloud rays can only understand limited commands and vocabulary, such as rising, falling, forward, backward, moving left and right, etc. You can train it to learn more commands.
When Cloud Ray fights against control spells, it will be your will that fights against the enemy instead of Cloud Ray's.
When the cloud ray resists psychic spell attacks, if the distance between you and the cloud ray is no more than 100 meters, you can add your own intelligence adjustment value to it.
Once you actively terminate the spiritual connection with this cloud ray, the cloud ray control bracelet will turn back into the fairy charm bracelet.
When the mental connection is released, the Cloud Ray's attitude towards you will be based on your attitude towards it during the period of control.
Many things in the soul consciousness are manifestations in reality. The changes in the bracelet are directly reflected in reality. When the spiritual connection between the two is established, the detailed attributes of this cloud ray immediately emerge in Gavin's mind. in mind.

characteristic:
Swallow Whole (Special Ability) - Once the cloud ray engulfs a very large or smaller opponent, it will be difficult for the enemy to escape the fate of being swallowed.
The cloud ray does not have an obvious stomach. Instead, it has a long and terrifying throat. The entire throat is filled with teeth, which are used to crush and tear food.
Food will enter the intestines directly from the throat, so the cloudray must chew the food thoroughly to ensure that it can fully digest it. Enemies that enter the throat of the cloudray must resist 3D10+22 blows, slashes and attacks caused by its teeth and muscle contraction. Puncture damage.
Creatures swallowed by it can try to shake off the restraints caused by muscle contraction and crawl back into the cloud ray's mouth. However, it requires another grapple check to break free from its mouth, or it can stimulate it and actively grab you. Spit it out.
Creatures that are swallowed alive can try to use claws or light piercing or slashing weapons to inflict at least 25 points of damage to the cloud ray's throat, and use this to open a huge wound to escape from it. When a creature emerges, The cloud ray's muscles will squeeze to close the wound, and other creatures swallowed by it will have to use the above method again.
A cloudray's throat can hold two Huge, eight Large, thirty-two Medium, or one hundred and twenty-eight Small or smaller creatures at a time.
Levitation (Ex) - A cloudray controls its altitude by manipulating the lighter-than-air gases in its body, an ability that allows it to rise one meter per second.
It can also compress this gas and fall 250 meters per second under the influence of the planet's gravity. No matter how big it is, the cloud ray can immediately escape from the fall by manipulating the gas in its body.
When the consciousness is in coma, the floating gas in its body will automatically fill the equilibrium state, neither floating nor falling. It can drift with the wind like a real cloud, or it can sleep in the air.
Protection from Arrows (Su) - The cloud ray is resistant to most ranged attacks. It functions similarly to the "Protection from Arrows" spell (damage reduction from projectiles is 10/magic), which is caused by the gas ejected from its body. The natural barrier formed is replenished as soon as it is consumed, so it cannot be removed by dispel magic, nor will it disappear after absorbing a certain amount of damage.

The strength value is adjusted. value/hundred kilograms of items (1650 kilograms), and the control distance is the strength adjustment value/ten meters (the maximum distance is 165 meters).
Color Camouflage (Special Ability) - The cloud ray can camouflage itself in the air by manipulating its spots, wrinkles and part of its color, making it look like an inconspicuous cloud when it is in cloudy weather or among clouds , will have an absolute advantage in hiding and identification.
When it gets tired of drifting, it can choose to fall to the ground to rest. It can use telekinesis and move its flaps to use dust, mud, stones, turf, or even pull up small shrubs and anything else around it. Covering itself, when it is carrying out this camouflage, even if you stand on its body, it is difficult to detect it, until it suddenly takes off or launches an attack, it can rest on the ground for hours or even weeks. .
Replace spirit with strength (special ability) - As a reward for extraordinary strength, Cloud Ray can use his own strength to replace his psychic ability, allowing him to remotely control creatures of higher weight.
Multiple Manipulation (Special Ability) - As a legendary power reward, the fusion of Cloud Ray's own power and psychic power has been further improved. It can control the number of targets up to the strength adjustment value at one time, but the weight it can control will be evenly divided.
Divine power (special ability) - Divine power reward. Cloud Ray's power has broken through the divine level. When it uses power, it will be blessed and responded to by magic. Its attack power adjustment value is based on double Calculated by times, its weight is twice that of ordinary creatures.
