Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze
Chapter 40 The Source of Power
There has always been a problem in dealing with thunderworms, that is, any dissection of it will lead to the most violent self-destruction.
Magic cannot penetrate it, and seeking help from gods will make the special power in the thunder worm ineffective, which gives Fan Wei and Irene a headache.
But this problem has now been solved by a snake?
Fan Wei looked at the crystal in his hand that looked like white amber, and immediately called for expert help.
"Can the thunder bugs be used?" After listening to Fan Wei's description, Irene was surprised and picked up the crystal. She closed her eyes slightly and sensed it, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on her face.
"Thunder Demon Crystal, this is a special kind of fusion!"
"Fusion?"
"Yes, in fact, these thunder bugs are not dead. Instead, they are in a good hibernation state. The blue electric snake uses the thunder magic element deposited in its body to wrap them up, forming a special symbiotic relationship."
"It nourishes the thunder bugs with its own nutrients, and the thunder bugs act like small energy storage units, feeding back special powers to the snake itself."
"With a symbiotic combination like this, it's no wonder this blue electric snake is so powerful!"
Fan Wei nodded, thinking that if direct invasive treatment of the Thunder Bug didn't work, could he trick the Thunder Bug's defense into breaking open like the Blue Electric Snake did, and then find a way to deal with it?
He continued to dig out large quantities of crystals wrapped around black blue-striped beetles from the snake's belly and observed how they existed within the snake's body.
"It's actually built into a natural spiral tower structure, which can improve the efficiency of energy transmission." Irene exclaimed in amazement.
"Sometimes you can find that monsters are also very smart. They adapt to environmental changes so quickly. If the thunder bugs in the maze don't decline, they may even form a new ecosystem."
“Ecosystem?!”
Hearing her praise, Fan Wei suddenly had an idea.
Why must it be new? Couldn't it be a revival of an ancient ecology?
He frowned and thought, but could not find any basis to support this idea, so he did not say it out loud. Anyway, he was not a real monster scientist. Finding a way to deal with the thunder bugs and completing the task were the most important things.
"I'll study the sleeping mode of the crystal thunder bug, maybe it can advance our research."
Irene collected some crystals and analyzed them with magic. On the other side, Kasuyi held a large jar of snake oil and tried hard to fight with Andrew. The dwarf Kaso drank the most beer he brought with him and ate fried snake meat.
Dee Matthew was just trying to find something to talk about with the very quiet Julie.
The most leisurely Piccolo plucked the strings of his guitar, producing a soothing tune.
Such a scene made Fan Wei feel at ease and relaxed.
Although he had a feeling that a storm was coming, as if there were some important memories that had not yet been recalled, this did not prevent him from doing his own thing and working towards a common goal.
"I really can't carry it. Even though it's just a little weight, we don't know how many kilometers we'll have to walk, so any unnecessary encumbrance is not acceptable."
Andrew refused Kasuyi's request to bring pure natural beauty snake oil.
"You can hide the things in a corner nearby. There's no one else in the maze right now. As long as it's not destroyed by monsters, it'll be fine."
"But how would I know if it would be destroyed by monsters?"
Kasuyi said with a worried look, "I don't know what has suppressed my divination ability, and it has completely cut off my connection with the stars."
"Now I can only make limited predictions with a little spiritual power."
Andrew, who was about to laugh at the prophet for not being able to calculate the result, was stunned and also felt a little uneasy. Kasuyi could be said to be the eye of the team, and now this eye was blindfolded, which was really not good.
"Ms. Irene, did you find anything?"
Everyone could hear the conversation just now. Andrew planned to consult the strongest and most professional Irene and ask for her opinion.
"...What time is it now?" Irene asked a question that seemed a bit irrelevant.
"Nine twenty-one in the evening." Andrew said as he took out his precise mechanical pocket watch and took a look.
"Wait a little longer. I have a dangerous guess. Maybe after a while, everyone will find out."
Irene put away the crystal thunder bug and the notebook she had written on it. "It's almost time to rest. Let's get ready to go. We'll try to get out of the castle before noon tomorrow."
The others packed their bags, and Kasuyi stopped worrying about the snake oil and hid it aside.
The journey was much smoother afterwards. As the leader of a long-distance tour group, Andrew knew a lot of secret passages. It was not easy to find them in the chaotic space, but each one could save several hours of time.
"Click." Piccolo used a lock pick to unlock a secret door. The space inside could be used as a short resting place.
"Ms. Irene, we have been walking for almost three hours. Has your guess come true?" After taking a sip of water, Andrew was still very concerned about the key mysterious question.
Irene turned her head, and a rare irrational look appeared on her girlish face. It was a deep confusion and worry, as if she had confirmed something extremely incredible and unfavorable to the current situation!
"It is 0:35 in the morning now. Can you feel the magic ring reversing?"
"what?!"
Everyone suddenly woke up, yes! The magic ring didn't turn upside down? !
The reversal of the magic ring does not only affect mages.
Because magic exists in any living thing, even a warrior's skills require magic, but most of them are based on physical expenditure and do not require much magic.
But all people, or all creatures, have a 'blue bar'.
The magic ring reversal is an event that happens once a day, instantly filling the blue bar at midnight. It happens regardless of the state of life, awake or unconscious, healthy or dying...
This forced and unearthly gain is called the gift from the goddess of magic and is one of the rules of the world.
But now, everyone feels that the magic power they have consumed has not been restored, and the magic ring is reversed... and it has failed! !
"It's true, my restricted skills haven't been reset either." Julie opened her big eyes that weren't so bright, and her tone was still gentle, but tinged with panic.
Some powerful skills have a limited number of uses and are often found in priests who draw on the power of gods.
Julie's resurrection spell can be used three times a day, but now there is only one left.
"This is a big problem. Kasuyi's prophecy has been obscured, the magic ring's reversal has failed, and the divine art cannot be restored. Is this all because of the labyrinth riot?"
Andrew was met with silence. This was not a big trouble, but a huge trouble!!
It was like a long-distance run with no way to recover their physical strength. From now on, every step they took was like a war of attrition! If they encountered an enemy blocking their way, it would be even worse!
You have to know that every high-intensity battle can consume most of a person's energy.
A haze hung over everyone's head. If before, everyone still felt that they could go all out to complete the task.
Now it seems a bit impossible to accomplish.
"What should we do? Should we go back?"
Kasuyi asked. As someone who was good at divination, she was more likely to feel timid when faced with an uncertain future.
"But the tower master's barrier can't last a week. The maze street is too big! If we can't finish the disinfecting as soon as possible, those thunder bugs will get out and kill many ordinary people."
"That drought alone created 700,000 skeletons. If there is another disaster of equal or greater severity, half the kingdom will be destroyed."
Irene's words were so heavy that everyone fell silent.
There is no fool who can come here. The large-scale death of ordinary people seems to have nothing to do with the adventurers, but if there is a problem with the roots, can the tree remain unscathed?
The resulting shortage of resource supply, soaring prices and turbulent situation will deeply affect them.
"What should we do then?" Di Matthew asked in confusion.
"Keep going and take a gamble." Irene said firmly, "Besides, we have ways to replenish our magic power."
As soon as she said this, everyone understood and turned their eyes to Fan Wei.
"What, what are you doing? Restoring your magic or something? Why are you looking at me?" With the help of his brothers in the forum, Fan Wei had some understanding of 'replenishing magic'.
He is such a pure and innocent man, would he not be subjected to such a thing?! Fan Wei trembled.
"What are you thinking about? I don't know any black magic that can drain people's life essence. This is a dish, food!" Irene jumped up and patted his head.
"Eat this monster food that contains a lot of magic power! It's the most primitive way to replenish it!"
