I am the Scourge

Chapter 178 Combination of Inscriptions
"The ancient land of reincarnation will be opened in a month. All the creatures who hold the certificate of reincarnation can go there through the ancient teleportation array. The opening time of the ancient land will last for a month, and it will not wait until it expires..."

The old voice echoed in the temple.

The meeting is drawing to a close.

Shuoyue.

It is a month corresponding to the human calendar.

Because there is no sun in the Netherworld, there are only sunny moons and cloudy moons, and the undead are more accustomed to recording time with the periodic changes of the blood moon.

As for the ancient teleportation array...

This is a large-scale teleportation array that only scorched earth-level undead forces can build, corresponding to the main city of humans.

However, Li Wei thought that perhaps the same effect could be achieved after the teleportation array in his territory was set up.After all, the teleportation channel Moore and others designed for him is a higher-level cross-border teleportation array.

The only problem is that you need to get the coordinates of the ancient land of reincarnation.

Li Wei opened the system map. He got the latest map of Heishan County when he communicated with Feather Snake King and others earlier.

Look at this time.

The scorched earth force closest to the Leiyun Plain is the Silent King City located [-] kilometers away.

It only takes about three days to rush there.

Even if you count all the unstable factors that may be encountered on the way, you only need to set off one week in advance.

The ancient land of reincarnation is limited to one month, and this month is used to find opportunities.The outdated ancient land will be closed, and it will take three years to reopen it again.

In previous years, many people tried to stay in the ancient land to find opportunities after the time limit expired.

But without exception.

These people often have no news when the ancient land is opened next time.

There is great danger in the ancient land.

Only at a specific time point every three years will the rejection of outsiders be reduced, which is also the fixed opening period of the ancient land.

After the date.

Even an existence as strong as the Grand Commander would not dare to enter it.

of course.

Even if he can spend it safely in it, it is impossible for Li Wei to stay in the ancient land for three years.

For the undead with a long life, three years may just pass by in a flash.But for players, three years is enough to produce huge changes like the vicissitudes of life.

It is very possible that when he came out, his hometown had already become a pile of broken tiles.

Think for a moment.

Li Wei was about to exit the mental space.

At this time, he overheard a discussion among several lords beside him, and the content was related to the players.

They have already discovered something unusual about the player.

It does not refer to the resurrection.

Although resurrection can be called an act against the sky, there are still many ways in the game to bring NPC back to life.

Especially for the undead, as long as the soul is immortal, it doesn't matter even if the body is shattered.

Naturally, they don't make a fuss about the player's respawn.

The abnormalities noticed by these undead lords,

Because of.

Each player actually forms a new soul after death.

For any creature, the body can be destroyed and rebuilt, but there is only one soul. Even if the NPC is to be resurrected, it is based on the fact that its soul has not dissipated. It's just a walking dead.

The soul is the root of a living being.

But this situation has changed in the player.

An undead lord clearly remembered that he had killed a guy with a big sword in a strange dress more than a dozen times, each time successfully extracting his soul, but after a while, that guy appeared before his eyes again...

The ghost lord even thought he was haunted at one point...

In fact.

Li Wei had already discovered this.

He had collected 10,000+ souls through the Emperor Tiger Gang players before, so of course he would not be unaware of such a violation.

But he didn't think much of it at first.

Because he knows that he is in a game world, all creatures are just a set of data, and the soul is the same, so no matter how many souls are born, it is just a matter of the system.

But the next moment when I heard these lords talk.

Li Wei felt something was wrong.

The system will correct all the unreasonable things that the player shows in front of the NPC. If there is indeed an abnormality in the player's soul, this should also be within the scope of the correction, and it is impossible for them to find out...

The corrective power of the system has failed?

Or……

Is this actually a normal phenomenon that can be reasonably explained?

Li Wei was lost in thought.

in fact.

There is a third possibility.

That is, in fact, he is in a real world, and the NPCs have already noticed the player's true identity...

If before.

Faced with this kind of rhetoric, Li Wei at most just laughed it off.

But after having the experience of the relics of the moon, Li Wei thought about too many things, causing his current thinking to become a little distracted...

He shook his head quickly.

It's pointless to think too much before there is no definite evidence to prove it.If this world really exists, if there is a so-called reincarnation, then he can get the answer after entering the ancient land of reincarnation.

Consciousness gradually dimmed.

Li Wei withdrew from the Black Fire Temple in the spiritual space.

His thoughts wandered for a moment, then he came back to his senses and looked at the half-finished metal structure in front of him.

This is an alchemy creature composed of ignorant parts. It is only half a meter high and looks like a monkey without a tail. Its limbs are slender, its head is round and shiny with metallic luster, and its entire body is supported by a single spine.

Tier [-] alchemy creature: Gold Digger.

Just like its name.

The Gold Digger was originally developed as a tool for exploring minerals. It basically has no combat ability, and its size also limits its upper limit of strength. Alchemy creatures are often stronger with bigger size.

Because of its main source of power, it relies on the energy core loaded in the body and the magic pattern carved on the body surface.

The larger the volume, the larger the energy core that can be loaded, and the more and more complex magic lines can be drawn on the body surface.

And relatively.

Large alchemical creatures can also carry more weapons and equipment.

As for the advantage of small size and flexibility, under the terrifying firepower of the war golem, there is no room for survival at all.

therefore.

Small alchemy creatures are often functional units.

As Li Wei's trial work, this gold digger is only two steps away from completion.

at this time.

He took out a flawless lava gem, and his engineering ability was activated. His hands were wrapped in a ball of white light. As the mana continued to output, the lava gem quietly changed its existence in his hands.

"Ding!"

"Hint: Successful transformation, engineering proficiency +6!"

The system prompt sounds.

The entire lava gem has turned into two fiery red crystals the size of longan in Li Wei's hands.

He inserted the two crystals into the eye holes of gold diggers.

Just fit.

hum...

There was a vibration of energy.

I saw that one after another fiery red magic lines spread outward from the gold digger's eyes, and soon spread all over his body.It slowly turned its bare head, looked at Li Wei, and there seemed to be a little more agility in its eyes.

At this time, the gold digger has actually been basically completed.

It's just that it's missing an important building block.

soul.

An alchemy creature without a soul will not be born with consciousness, unable to act independently, and can only be controlled by humans. Once it loses control, it will become a pile of scrap iron. Such an alchemy creature can only be said to be a failure.

Li Wei then took out a soul orb from his backpack.

The soul bead is a special prop used by the undead to store souls. It looks like a milky white glass ball. After the soul is incorporated, the color of the soul bead will turn black. The more souls there are, the purer the black soul bead will be.

At this time, the soul orb in his hand was as black as black jade.

There are at least a thousand souls stored in it.

Thoughts move lightly.

Li Wei pulled out a faint smog-like substance from the soul orb. He held the smog in his hand and kept changing. From it, he could vaguely see a face that was sometimes calm and sometimes distorted.

Activate the circle.

Li Wei controlled the energy flow in the Gold Digger's body, but he saw that a formation all over its head slowly lit up, and Li Wei poured his soul into it, and the light of wisdom suddenly appeared in the Gold Digger's eyes.

"Ding!"

"Reminder: Manufacture complete - get alchemy creature: Gold Digger!"

"Hint: Alchemist proficiency +20!"

"..."

A faint blue fluorescence flickered on the surface of the gold digger.

rarity class.

Li Wei has seen alchemy creatures made by other players, most of them are of ordinary level, and few of them are of elite level.He was able to create a rare alchemy creature for the first time, which had to be said to be an extraordinary talent.

of course.

This is mainly related to the materials he uses...

The most important energy core, the average player is only willing to use the gemstone of the cracking level, but he directly got a flawless gemstone that ordinary players have never even seen at this stage, which can be regarded as extremely luxurious.

"Erasure the original consciousness."

Li Wei followed up.

Swish!
A white light flashed across the gold digger, and only a shrill scream was heard, and the gold digger's eyes suddenly became bewildered.

Keeping the original memory of the soul is of no benefit to the alchemist except to increase the risk of losing control.

after all.

Most alchemists' souls are obtained through unconventional means.

Moreover, not many normal people would like to be refined into an iron creature after their death.

And the alchemist in the NPC will often find a mage who is proficient in soul magic to assist in this step.

Players save a lot of trouble.

After one command, the system will help solve this problem.

Levi then looks to its properties.

[Skill: None]

……

The gold digger itself has a mineral exploration skill, but this time Li Wei did not assemble it for testing.As a serious alchemy creature, its panel is also very different from Yue.

no experience.

This is natural.

The upgrade of alchemy creatures mainly depends on transformation, no matter how many monsters are killed, experience cannot be gained.

At this point, Yue has inherited the characteristics of being a creature.

The same goes for include attributes.

Alchemy creatures don't have basic attributes, they are essentially conscious weapons, and their only attributes are attack and defense.

Naturally, it is impossible to wear any equipment worn by players.

The month is completely different.

In a sense.

In fact, she can be regarded as a special kind of metal life.

One final difference: energy levels.

The energy level represents the strength that an alchemy creature can display.

It can be regarded as a rating of combat effectiveness.

Generally, the energy level of a first-order alchemy creature is around 1-10.

This level means that apart from having basic action capabilities, they basically won't have too much destructive power.

The same is true.

Levi even felt that he could easily crush this gold digger.

But he didn't.

This Gold Digger was created for the purpose of improving the alchemist's proficiency, and also because Li Wei wanted to test something.

Subsequently.

He took out a dozen palm-sized alchemy inscriptions from his backpack.

These alchemy inscriptions are all rare grades, which are the products of his promotion of engineering to the intermediate level, but the engineering level does not represent the level of the alchemist, and he is still a little short of proficiency to be promoted to the intermediate alchemist.

Li Wei quickly selected three different alchemy inscriptions, namely: flame, hurricane, and fusion.When making the Gold Digger, Li Wei reserved a slot for the inscription on it, which happened to be installed at this time.

Its panels change accordingly.

Suddenly, there was a magic called "Fire Storm" in the skill bar.

"Exercise skills."

Levi gave orders to it.

The gold digger then turned to an open space, stretched out his arms, and fiery red magic lines immediately gathered on his arms.

call!
A blue-red flame spewed out and landed on the ground, instantly forming a whirlwind of flames... more than ten centimeters high.

The storm raged for less than three seconds.

Then it was blown away without a trace under a gust of dark wind...

And the Gold Digger after performing this attack was dimmed, as if he had exhausted all his energy.

Look again.

Its energy tank was indeed empty in an instant.

Ok……

Li Wei was lost in thought.

Then it occurred to me that this should be a problem of energy level.

Alchemy Inscription, as a skill plug-in, does not have any energy itself. It depends entirely on the assembler's performance. The flame storm released by the energy level of the gold digger probably is not a problem to barely roast a chicken.

To say output...

Maybe it can be stronger than ordinary first-order creatures.

after all.

It was forged from a Flawless Gem anyway.

The energy reserve of a flawless gem should not be so weak, but in order to fit the operation of the gold diggers, Li Wei used engineering to change its energy form, which resulted in a much lower energy level than it should have.

Normally.

A flawless gem is enough to create a fourth or fifth rank alchemy creature.

Closer to home.

Li Wei then removed the three alchemy inscriptions and replaced the gold digger with three energy-gathering inscriptions to allow it to recover energy quickly.

Then test it.

A single alchemy inscription can give an alchemy creature a skill. Multiple inscriptions will not increase the strength of the skill, but the combination of different elements can increase the strength of the original magic.

such as.

Even if three pieces of the same flame inscription are installed, the magic released by the gold digger is still a flame shock, and it will not be upgraded to a higher-level magic. The power of the magic will only be affected by its own energy level.

But if it is a flame storm composed of fire and wind, the power will be increased to 1.5 times due to the combined effect of fire and wind elements.

Li Wei is just to test out the strongest element combo skills.

Fire and wind, wind and water, water and earth, there are many combinations between the four original elements.

Not to mention the thirteen base elements derived from it.

If the strongest combination of various elements can be researched through the alchemy inscription, it will also be of great help to Li Wei in using his original power.
