Chapter 104: Adaptation
While the entire Elosia plane was active because of the huge rewards, Jie Ming and the others were still moving in the barren mountains.
The improvement of being promoted to a Tier 1 Wizard was even greater than Jie Ming had expected at the beginning. The amplification of spiritual power by the Ring of Truth and the growth of cultivation speed were quite exaggerated.
Especially since the spiritual power he amplified could be converted into solid cultivation under the internal circulation and the method of refining essence into Qi.
In the past few days, Jie Ming's Qi refining cultivation and meditation speed had both improved by a notch, which was simply a spiral upward movement with the left foot stepping on the right foot.
So much so that after all three were promoted to Tier 1 Wizards, all three of them had problems with inaccurate power control.
Fortunately, this problem was easy to solve.
On the long journey to the Wizard Base Camp, they turned the enemy units they discovered along the way that did not pose a threat into their "cleaning" and "familiarity with power" training grounds.
Jie Ming walked at the very front, his spiritual power constantly connected to the Wu Yun Hua Hong.
And the spirituality of the Wu Yun Hua Hong, under Jie Ming's deliberate cultivation over the years, was already enough to support the processing of information sent back by the huge glimmer eye group, including the Eye of Reconnaissance.
Just as they passed through a forest shrouded in thick fog, the Wu Yun Hua Hong issued a warning.
"Ahead, a group of small forest monsters." Jie Ming whispered, "Number about thirty, strength is weak, but the energy fluctuation is quite strange."
Victor and Amy immediately understood and prepared their respective attack wizardries.
"There is no intelligence related to the monsters near this forest in that Shaman's soul, be careful!" Amy reminded.
Jie Ming and Victor both nodded silently.
Along the way, besides familiarizing themselves with power, they also witnessed the unique talent abilities of many native living beings in this plane.
Many living beings' abilities sound inconspicuous, but if you are not familiar with them, you will suffer a big loss if you are not careful.
Just like the group of Orcs Jie Ming and the others encountered when they destroyed the shrine before.
The Orcs' characteristic is that their vitality is extremely tenacious, but only after facing it truly do they know that the Orcs' vitality can be so tenacious that even if their bodies are beaten into a sieve, they still have the ability to counterattack.
And the so-called monsters are a relatively special form of natural spirits in the Elosia plane.
Their own goodness or evil and talent abilities will change according to the changes in the natural environment they are in, which can be considered the most difficult enemies to master intelligence on.
When the three approached the camp, a sharp whistle carrying a malicious aura sounded instantly.
Dozens of forest monsters of various shapes emerged from the thick fog. Some looked like tree branches, some looked like moss, and their bodies emitted a faint green light.
They were extremely fast, with sharp claws and mouthparts, pouncing on the three from all directions.
However, Jie Ming was faster and had already taken the lead before they launched an attack.
However, a round of energy bullet attacks had almost no effect.
Under the white streamer-like energy bullets, the bodies of the forest monsters were beaten into fragments, but they continued to pounce as if they had not been harmed at all.
"Attention, the pile of matter outside is not their body!" Jie Ming shouted immediately.
He keenly noticed that these monsters could continue to move regardless of the damage to their bodies, and even a part of their bodies was already completely suspended in mid-air without any impact.
This shows that this pile of matter in front of them is just their diversion.
Judging from the performance of the energy bullets just now, the true bodies of these monsters should be some kind of ethereal form that can ignore physical attacks.
Because they lost the first move, in the blink of an eye, the monsters had already pounced.
However, Jie Ming was not flustered at all.
The moment the monsters launched an attack, the spiritual power in his body surged, and the defensive rune wizarding tool that had been in a low-activity state was activated instantly.
The body movements of the monsters that were originally moving at high speed suddenly became incomparably slow, as if they had fallen into a sticky mud swamp!
This is the outermost layer of Jie Ming's defense—"Deceleration Field".
A powerful energy field enveloped the area around Jie Ming, making the movements of the monsters entering it slow, just like slow motion.
Some monsters that did not enter the deceleration field were not to be outdone, circling around Jie Ming, trying to find the gaps in the force field.
But they found that the target in front of them actually began to blur and twist.
This is the effect of the second layer of defense—"Refraction Light Mirror".
The air around Jie Ming was refracted by some kind of power, causing the monsters' vision to appear severely distorted and deviated, and the attacks of those monsters that managed to approach the deceleration field also often deviated from the target due to the refraction effect, stabbing into empty ground or hitting companions.
But before the monsters could think of any way, two more layers of defense on Jie Ming were activated.
Four "Force Field Shields" emitting rune light appeared around him. They circled around his body. Although the defensive range of the solid force field constructed by runes was relatively small, the defensive capability of the frontal area was extremely strong.
The last layer of defense is the most basic and closest "Energy Shield".
A layer of transparent light film appeared on Jie Ming's body surface, as if he had an extra layer of translucent eggshell.
This multi-layer defense system made the monsters' attacks useless.
Jie Ming observed carefully for a while and confirmed the essence of these monsters.
"Although they are completely immune to physical attacks, their resistance to energy is extremely low, and even the energy field of the deceleration field can cause them not weak damage. They have characteristics similar to 'etherealization', and are specialized creatures against physical attacks—"
He raised his wrist slightly, and the bracelet on his wrist rotated rapidly, revealing the rune wizarding tool embedded on it.
"Fortunately, I was prepared."
The rune wizarding tools on his two wrists now correspond to different types of attacks.
The rune on the left wrist triggers pure physical kinetic energy bullets.
And the rune on the right wrist triggers pure elemental erosion energy impact.
"Elemental erosion." Jie Ming's heart moved.
The next second, the rune wizarding tool on his right wrist began to operate at high speed, and ten white light pillars as thick as fingers shot out like lasers, precisely hitting those monsters still struggling in the "deceleration" state.
High-intensity elemental erosion power, they ignored the monsters' "etherealization" characteristic, penetrating into the monsters' void bodies like splashing ink,
directly causing damage to their energy cores.
"Hiss!!!"
The monsters let out shrill screams, their bodies were forced to solidify from the void, and then quickly withered, turning into pools of green liquid emitting black smoke.
Turning his head, he found that Amy and Victor had also quickly cleaned up the remaining sporadic monsters, preventing them from scattering and fleeing.
When all the monsters were completely eliminated, only green liquid remained on the forest floor.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, you are getting more and more powerful." Amy looked at Jie Ming and couldn't help but marvel.
Victor also felt a bit emotional: "I originally thought that constructing attack-type wizardry independently could shorten the gap with you, but now it seems that the gap with you is getting bigger and bigger."
"It's normal, after all, as you said, I am the top card of our alchemy department." Jie Ming joked with a smile.
After so many days of getting along and fighting together, the relationship between the few was obviously much more familiar than before.
Just as he was about to continue saying something, Jie Ming suddenly frowned.
The Eye of Reconnaissance told him that fifty kilometers ahead, a supernatural team emitting special energy had entered his "field of vision". ===== CHAPTER 105 =====
