Chapter 4112: Fire Seed Source Secret Method
Although Xia De did not fasten the top button of his coat, the collar was still very crowded to accommodate both Xia De's neck and Little Mia's body.
The cat's purpose was also very clear. After poking its head out, it immediately issued a "Ha~ Meow~" threat to the doll on Xia De's right shoulder.
This was not because it hated Miss Felianna. This cat would do this to any small life that dared to land on Xia De's shoulder. Its last target for hissing was Flora in owl form.
"Oh, what a beautiful cat. I remember its name is Little Mia. Hello~"
Miss Doll shook her legs in a good mood and greeted Little Mia. Then, without Xia De asking, she waved her hand and cast a spell on Little Mia. A layer of faint red light attached to the cat's fur and soon disappeared. The power of the protection spell was enough to keep Little Mia from being affected by the surrounding environment as long as it did not leave Xia De.
"Meow?"
The cat was a bit curious about the red light that appeared and disappeared on its fur, but its attention was not affected by this. Afterward, it continued to hiss at Miss Felianna, but the petite Miss Doll just smiled. Of course, she would not be angry at the cute cat.
Xia De's hand soon fell on Little Mia's head. Although the cat was unhappy, since Xia De rubbed its small head, it had to accept the fact that the doll occupied Xia De's shoulder for the time being. It nimbly climbed onto Xia De's left shoulder and squatted there, but from time to time it would still poke its small head around Xia De's neck to see what the doll "next door" was doing.
"Oh, this image, what are you doing?"
Miss Bredwe, who was busy, couldn't help laughing when she saw Xia De with a doll on one side of his shoulder and a cat on the other. Gina and the old witch also looked over, and seeing Xia De's image, they all revealed smiles.
The just-tense atmosphere was swept away. Little Mia seemed to be a little sun, and there would never be gloom and anxiety where it was.
After the metal tent was built, the four of them drilled in together, and then the entrance of the tent closed completely amidst the sound of metal.
This time Miss Bredwe did not put the flames in a bottle to keep everyone warm, but after taking the "Source of Fire" from Xia De, she combined the life fire seed in the Source of Fire to cast the halfling church's divine art, directly building a bonfire on the ground in the center of the tent.
When that small cluster of bonfire illuminated everyone, the surging vitality was as comfortable as lying in a bathtub filled with hot water after a tiring day. Even Little Mia made a comfortable meow.
Because Miss Felianna was sitting directly on Xia De's shoulder, the witches did not go to verify Xia De's identity this time.
And Xia De, who sat down, finally had time to observe the condition of the three witches. They were still wearing the cloak that could resist flesh distortion given by the Skeleton Tailor. It could be seen that they must have experienced very difficult battles before, and everyone's state was not particularly good.
It was just that this time, there were quite few traces of flesh distortion on the witches. Xia De still remembered the time he hugged Gina's big tail to help her heal, and this time, almost no traces of red meat tumors could be found on the pink dragon girl's tail.
"This Source of Fire really helped a lot."
Little Mia was still staring at Miss Felianna, not knowing what it was planning. Old Mrs. Gustav explained the current situation to Xia De:
"Not long after you left last time, while we were collecting materials to prepare to ignite the third life furnace, Miss Felianna studied this Source of Fire and found a way to use it."
The old witch was very emotional:
"If it weren't for the Source of Fire and Miss Felianna, you might not be able to see the three of us talking to you so normally this time. Although we cannot control the life fire seed as freely as you, under Miss Felianna's guidance, we can all guide part of the life fire seed from the Source of Fire, temporarily store it in the position of the heart, and integrate the fire seed into it when casting spells."
When escaping from the room above the trapdoor just now, Gina and Old Mrs. Gustav used miracles and divine arts that integrated the power of the fire seed. Xia De still remembered that when he came last time, the old witch said that manipulating and using the fire seed was a very blasphemous thing. Now she didn't seem to mind doing this at all.
"To what extent can you do it?"
Xia De asked curiously. This question was answered by Gina. Although the tent was much larger than before, she was still sitting on her tail to save space:
"The three of us have different talents. The divine arts of the 【Church of Creation】, my bubble spell, and the halfling's secret method have different affinities with the life fire seed. To what extent we can do it is hard to describe to you in detail, but at least we have all learned to use normal life fire seeds to protect ourselves."
The petite Miss Doll, who was shaking her short legs, explained the principle to Xia De under the cat's gaze:
"The power of flesh distortion eroding life is a process from outside to inside. Once the fire seed stored in their life source, that is, the heart, is guided out and wraps around the skin, it is equivalent to forming a layer of 'false skin' outside their flesh body.
In this way, the power of flesh distortion first affects that layer of skin manifested by high-density life fire seeds. But that layer of false skin is not a physical entity. As long as the caster's mental power can maintain it, flesh distortion will not cause changes to the false skin. In this way, it can block the erosion of external flesh distortion to the greatest extent. I named this secret method 'False Life Skin.' Although the use is very narrow, at least here, this secret method is very useful."
And Xia De thought about whether this secret method could be used to resist the erosion of "twisted life fire seeds," and then he concluded, of course not, because the world's disaster was not an invasion from outside to inside, so just a layer of skin would certainly not be able to block it.
But if the girls around Xia De learned this miracle, at least when he used the "Flower of Corroded Moon," he wouldn't have to worry that this indiscriminate large-scale lethality miracle would hurt them.
In addition to "False Life Skin," Miss Doll also targetedly developed many other uses for life fire seeds. And the most basic condition for wanting to use those secret methods and rituals was still the existence of this normal fire seed source.
After all, except for Xia De, no one could turn life force into fire seeds out of thin air. Even guiding the life fire seeds out of the Source of Fire required a high-level witch with strong mental power to do it.
The protection spell Miss Felianna added to Little Mia also used part of the power of the fire seed, which was why this cat could safely move in the outside world. And those brand-new secret methods and rituals created with "life fire seed" as the root, Miss Felianna had also let Gina organize and record them in her notebook, and named them "Fire Seed Source Secret Methods."
Xia De touched the notebook and recorded all the content into his library, intending to study these contents slowly after returning.
Even if he didn't find a normal Source of Fire in the Sixth Era for the time being, he could also use the fire seeds he extracted with 【Life Tempering】 to exert these powers later. He could even store the fire seeds in the hearts of the girls, allowing them to use these "Life Fire Seed Secret Methods" a limited number of times.
These studies were conducted by Miss Felianna during the adventure of the three witches, and the witches' adventure in this factory had actually reached the last step.
The third life furnace had long been ignited. Miss Bredwe mixed part of the 【Active Metal】 that simulated the power of the magic eye into the flesh materials and successfully sent them into the furnace.
And after the third furnace was ignited, the changes in the Blood-Stained Factory were far beyond the witches' previous expectations. The influence of flesh distortion became more intense, rooms requiring high-intensity battles appeared more frequently, and the number of "safe rooms" where they could rest briefly decreased significantly.
Brand-new, more troublesome enemies were increasing, the positions of the doors became more strange and difficult to touch, and even the mental impact brought by the baby's crying heard after entering a dream was increasing.
The one who could hear the crying now was Gina. The pink dragon girl seemed more haggard than the old witch and the halfling girl. Although the number of safe rooms decreased, the duration of hearing the crying after entering a dream once became longer, so she had endured this sound for a long time.
But fortunately, after coming to this safe room, it was others' turn to enter a dream, and she only needed to pass through three more rooms to get rid of this sound.
"But also because the battles have become more frequent, we have collected a lot of flesh materials, and even the 【Ten Thousand Things Blood Essence】 as fuel for the fourth furnace has been prepared."
The small bucket filled with materials was still carried by Miss Bredwe. She showed their harvest to Xia De:
"The materials in the small bucket now can almost be pieced together into a complete human body. Once we find the fourth furnace, we might be able to start it immediately."
Miss Felianna then gave her guess:
"Since Xia De has arrived, according to the previous rules, I think the fourth life furnace room should not be far from here. This rest is probably the last rest opportunity before finding the fourth furnace, so everyone should adjust their state before setting off."
Actually, the furnace room could also be used for rest, but no one knew whether the last furnace would have other changes, and after a long battle, they were indeed almost unable to support themselves.
A simple conversation let Xia De know the general situation at present. He nodded. Time waits for no one. It was in line with his thoughts to rush to the last furnace directly after this rest:
"You guys rest first, I'll deal with that withering crystal. After leaving this time, I found a way to suppress its power." ===== CHAPTER 4113 =====
