Chapter 176: Transformation Ring! Activating Resurrection Magic!

With this magic item in hand, all four great treasures of the lizardman tribe had fallen into Tang Zheng's hands.

He withdrew his gaze from the magic crucible.

"What is going on with this magic ring?"

Tang Zheng flipped his palm, and a magic ring appeared in his palm; it was the one he had obtained from the cave lizardman, a magic item that possessed the ability to change appearance.

He had already identified it long ago; the ability of this magic ring could only perform simple changes in appearance.

"This is a magic item he taught us; it can only simply change one's own appearance."

The Miss Cuiye Witch spoke respectfully, and from her arms, she took out another identical magic ring:

"Every once in a while, magical power needs to be injected into the transformation ring to be used again."

Hearing that it was a ring given to the twin witches by the gray-robed mage, Tang Zheng's gaze flickered, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Can you use this ring to turn into humans?" Tang Zheng looked at the Miss Cuiye Witch.

"Yes, Master."

The Miss Cuiye Witch nodded, put the transformation ring in her hand on her finger, and then her body shook slightly, and the leaves covering her entire body fell off.

Immediately after!

The Miss Cuiye Witch's body was shrouded in pale white light, twisting and deforming.

In the blink of an eye, a girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, with pale skin and white hair, appeared in front of Tang Zheng.

"Wrap the leaves around your body."

Tang Zheng turned his head slightly, his tone unchanged.

The Miss Cuiye Witch was somewhat puzzled, but immediately followed suit, wrapping the leaves she had just shaken off back around her body.

Only then did Tang Zheng scan the Miss Cuiye Witch again; from the outside, one couldn't tell at all that the opponent was a demi-human.

The ability of the transformation ring can only simply change appearance, but fortunately, besides their appearance and overly thin and emaciated body type, the twin witches were very similar to humans.

"You, go in." Tang Zheng looked at the Mist Witch on the side.

The Mist Witch understood, her figure moved, turning into a mass of white fog, and integrated into the Miss Cuiye Witch's body.

"Very good."

Tang Zheng nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene, a smile appearing on his face, but his next words made the twin witches tremble:

"At least there are still some other uses; I was originally considering whether to deal with you two."

The twin witches were incomparably panicked.

Whoosh!

Tang Zheng threw the ring in his hand, tossing it toward the twin witches.

The twin witches hurriedly reached out to catch it.

"Throw this transformation ring into the lizardmen's territory, and after doing this, leave the great wetland." Tang Zheng said lightly.

"Leave?" The Miss Cuiye Witch was stunned, and somewhat puzzled.

Tang Zheng's eyelids drooped, looking at the opponent indifferently.

The Miss Cuiye Witch closed her mouth, lowering her head in fear.

"Go south; with the strength of you two, crossing the Tob Forest shouldn't be a problem. There are quite a few human villages on the outskirts of the Tob Forest; try to mix in."

"First learn how to integrate into humans."

Tang Zheng reached into the magic leather bag at his waist, took out a money bag containing 50 gold coins, and threw it over.

Cling~ cling~

The money bag flew through mid-air and landed in the twin witches' hands; the gold coins inside collided, emitting a crisp sound.

Staring at the direction the twin witches left.

"The number of people I can use is indeed too small." Tang Zheng murmured to himself softly.

He originally intended to let the twin witches assist the magic snake Naga in the Tob Forest, but after considering it slightly, he gave up this plan.

Because the twin witches were different from the magic snake Naga.

The twin witches submitted to him entirely because of fear of his strength, plus the twin witches also knew that Tang Zheng had left the means of "Magic Mark" on them, so even if they wanted to run, they couldn't.

This was why they honestly listened to Tang Zheng's orders.

As for the reason for letting the twin witches leave the great wetland?

Naturally, it was to guard against the Slane Theocracy's next actions. 【176-47

Naturally, it is to guard against the Slane Theocracy's subsequent actions.

The words he just spoke were not meant to frighten the twin witches; if not for the fact that the twin witches could transform into humans through magic rings.

Tang Zheng indeed intended to finish off the twin witches along with the Cave Lizardmen while he was at it. Next—

He looked toward the unconscious gray-robed mage beside him.

Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed; he intended to use the other party as the first person to experiment on and thoroughly kill.

"It is not a matter of right or wrong."

"I hope you can sleep forever."

Tang Zheng stood up, stared at the gray-robed mage, flipped his palm, and an iron sword appeared in his hand; he swung it down.

Fresh blood gushed from the throat!

The gray-robed mage woke up from the state of being unconscious, suddenly widened bloodshot eyes, and after the body shook a few times, it completely lost all signs of life.

"Experience gained: 16212"

【Experience Bar: 65977/120000】

The information on the attribute panel flickered.

>

"Above 29lv, it actually provides nearly twenty thousand experience?" Tang Zheng felt slightly surprised in his heart when he saw the experience points gained.

Because he could not accurately judge the specific level of the gray-robed mage, Tang Zheng could not analyze how much experience was given per level.

"Resurrection of the Dead · Modified!"

While this thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, he had already activated the resurrection magic at the first moment, while his eyes were fixed tightly above the gray-robed mage's body.

Under the passive ability of 【Shaman Mentor】, he could see the translucent soul emerging from the body after the gray-robed mage died.

Hum—

A powerful wave of magic power radiated with Tang Zheng as the center, forming a circular magic circle three meters in diameter, which appeared under Tang Zheng's feet.

The invisible, astonishing magic power made the surrounding air sink.

Because "Resurrection of the Dead · Modified" is a resurrection magic modified by humans from the Other World that can be released through the magic power system, it requires double the amount of magic power.

With such a large consumption of magic power, even with Tang Zheng's current magic power, he could not hold on many times.

Therefore, he activated the 【Mad Mage】 profession skill "Mad Meditation" to replace the consumption.

Whoosh—

The light of the magic circle flashed.

The soul that was originally suspended above the gray-robed mage's corpse and gradually showed signs of dissipating was forcibly pressed back into the other party's corpse under the effect of the resurrection magic.

"Ah—"

The gray-robed mage's corpse regained signs of life in the blink of an eye, subconsciously let out a scream, as if waking up from a nightmare, and sat up with a face full of cold sweat.

"Many thanks, Alliance..."

The gray-robed mage took a few deep breaths, and after his consciousness gradually recovered, he subconsciously wanted to speak.

However!

When he saw that it was Tang Zheng standing in front of him, the gray-robed mage's pupils contracted violently, and his face revealed shock, astonishment, disbelief, and other mixed emotions.

"Insect Swarm—" The gray-robed mage wanted to release magic, but Tang Zheng, who had been prepared, acted a step earlier and knocked him unconscious again.

At such a close distance, the gray-robed mage had no possibility of resistance in front of Tang Zheng's true melee ability.

"Resurrection magic indeed has a certain relationship with the soul."

Tang Zheng looked at the unconscious gray-robed mage, thought about the changes that occurred during the whole process just now, and muttered:

"The aura has become much weaker; according to the characteristics of low-level resurrection magic, he should have dropped four levels."

Tang Zheng had long known about this kind of change, so he was not surprised.

In the anime and the light novel version, Bone King and Demiurge had conducted a large number of experiments on healing magic and resurrection magic and had already reached certain conclusions.

The reason Tang Zheng did not resurrect the Forest Sage Hamsuke after killing it previously was because of the situation where the life level would drop after resurrection.

The reduction in experience was one thing.

The key was that the other party's fur and other materials would also decrease in level once resurrected after death.

As for skinning the fur off the other party in advance, it was also useless, because after resurrection, the missing limbs on the other party would also disappear.

This was also the conclusion reached by Demiurge, so there is no situation of farming materials through resurrection magic; there are some behaviors that can exploit bugs, but the results are unknown.
