Chapter 433: Destiny Magic
Chapter 433: Destiny Magic
Xiao Jie was delighted, as long as the mission was completed, as for the war between the Demon Star Tower and the Tianyu Army, just as the tasteless old cat said, it would not harm him. On the contrary, it would increase the chances of spawning monsters and getting equipment. So there was no need to get too involved.
As for which three books of innate magic to learn, you need to think carefully about it.
Xiao Jie had looked up information about witchcraft before, but most of the witchcraft that could be bought at the auction house were common witchcraft. As the innate witchcraft was a secret method unique to each type of witch, it naturally could not be easily passed on to others.
Unless you unlock the ability of the monster to transform, you can't obtain the corresponding innate magic.
So it's still very rare.
His method of utilizing the various forms of demon spirits and taking beasts as teachers to obtain his own magic for free can be said to have never been seen before.
Therefore, you still need to study carefully what you want to learn.
"Master, can you tell me what the innate magic arts of different demon races are?"
"Well, you can ask others about this. I still need to study the next tactics. When you have made up your mind, come to me. General Man, Military Advisor Wu, notify all the military commanders and captains to come to the meeting as soon as possible."
Watching Master Xiaoyue leave so swiftly, Xiao Jie also hurriedly began to investigate. He didn't know how many battles Master Xiaoyue would have to fight next, and he might not have much free time to teach him magic, so he naturally had to pocket the reward.
Fortunately, his reputation in Canglin Province is high enough. Although his innate magic cannot be passed on easily, it is still okay to ask about it.
And he had no intention of asking around, so he found one and quickly got a general idea.
Almost every kind of demon race has its own innate magic, which is mostly derived from the demon race's natural abilities. Over tens of thousands of years, the abilities of each demon race are no longer a secret.
Xiao Jie asked and recorded at the same time, and soon recorded dozens of them.
1. Howling Moon Technique (exclusive to wolf demons).
2. The art of escaping underground (exclusive to rat demons).
3. The art of controlling the wind (exclusive to the Crane Clan).
4. Thunder Vortex Technique (exclusive to eel spirit).
5. The art of calling death (exclusive to crow spirits).
6. The art of stealth (exclusive to leopard spirit).
7. The Art of Flying Feathers (exclusive to the Eagle Clan).
8. Earth-shaking technique (exclusive to bull monsters).
9. Wild self-healing technique (exclusive to pig monsters).
10. The art of forming spider webs (exclusive to spiders).
11. The art of using poisonous stakes to knock down horses (exclusive to the Scorpion clan).
12. The art of soul-stealing (exclusive to the Weasel tribe).
13. The Art of Mysterious Tortoise Shell (exclusive to the Tortoise Clan).
14. The art of traveling a thousand miles (exclusive to the horse tribe)...
The more Xiao Jie asked, the more excited he became. There were so many powerful spells. They were indeed worthy of being his innate spells. Each one was very practical.
I originally thought that three books were enough, but when I looked at the spells recorded in the books, I felt that it was still a little less.
It’s really hard to decide how to choose.
However, Xiao Jie soon calmed down. He was about to complete the professional mission of the demon refiner. Once completed, he would obtain the skill of [Demon Beast Evolution], which would be equivalent to getting his own magic for free. As long as he mastered the corresponding beast transformation, he could evolve into the corresponding demon beast, and naturally he would also master the corresponding magic.
Therefore, the Howling Moon Technique and the Flying Feather Technique can be PASSed.
The corresponding innate sorcery of those easy-to-obtain shapeshifting spells can also be PASSed.
Another thing is that if there are overlaps with the abilities you have already mastered, you can also PASS them. For example, the wild self-healing technique. You have the Qi healing technique, so you are not short of self-recovery skills.
At the same time, the magic with similar functions will be selected on a merit basis. For example, the art of stealth and the art of escaping underground, the uses of the two are actually quite similar, so naturally one is enough.
In this way, the seemingly numerous types of innate magic were suddenly cut off by most.
Since this is a one-life game, naturally, saving your life and surviving are the top priorities, so...
After some consideration, Xiao Jie finally decided what kind of magic he wanted to learn.
"Master, I have made up my mind. I want to learn the art of escaping underground, the art of the mysterious tortoise shell, and the art of the inverted horse poison stake."
Master Xiaoyue was a little surprised. Are you sure you want to learn these three spells? The earth escape spell is easy to learn, but the mysterious tortoise shell and the inverted horse poisonous stake... are difficult to practice without the corresponding talent."
It is better to say that it is an organ rather than a talent. Turtles have shells and scorpions have tails. Other monster tribes simply cannot cultivate these two.
The art of escaping underground is essentially just a spell version of digging holes, so many monsters can practice it.
"I have made up my mind." Xiao Jie said seriously.
He possesses all kinds of demonic spirits, so naturally he is not afraid of this.
"Okay, I'll take you there right away, but let me be frank. I'll do you a favor, but if you can't learn it yourself, don't blame me."
"Don't worry, Master. I can learn it naturally."
"Then come with me."
Master Xiaoyue was quite straightforward. He took Xiao Jie down from the city wall while the anxious generals had not arrived yet.
The first is the art of escaping underground. In order to prevent the monsters from attacking the city through burrows, each city has a rat monster unit responsible for monitoring the underground. Master Xiaoyue casually called out and one of them came out.
Although it is in human form, it still has a shifty look.
When the rat demon heard that he had to learn the art of escaping underground, he immediately became anxious.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak, Master Rong Bing, this art of escaping underground is the foundation of our race’s survival, it really is…”
"You're just talking nonsense. You're not the only one who can escape underground. Why are you talking so much nonsense? That's all. I'll give you two villages as fiefdoms later."
After hearing this, the rat demon did not dare to refuse, and said to Xiao Jie: "My hero, please watch carefully, this is the art of escaping underground -"
As he said this, he rushed to the ground with a movement like diving. However, the ground suddenly lost its collision volume, and the rat captain burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
[System prompt: Rat King has taught you his innate magic - the art of escaping underground. You have gained a new skill, which you can view in the skill list.]
Xiao Jie hurriedly opened the skill bar, and sure enough, there was a new skill.
【Earth Escape Technique (Birth Magic Technique)
Use: Hide underground, making your presence undetectable to the enemy. Costs 30 mana points.
When you move while burrowed, your movement speed is reduced by 50% and you consume 3 mana per second.
Note 1: You cannot burrow underground in special terrains such as rocks, mineral veins, buildings, swamps, etc.
Note 2: When you burrow underground, you will consume your breathing value. If you do not return to the ground after your breathing value reaches zero, your health will continue to be consumed.
Skill introduction: The magic that the rat demon clan is famous for can escape underground and move freely underground. Although the rat demon clan's combat power is low, they have successfully survived to this day with this magic. It is a life-saving reconnaissance skill. 】
"How is it, have you learned it?"
"I got it." Xiao Jie dragged the Earth Escape Technique into the skill bar, right-clicked, and watched his character do the same, and his figure flashed into the ground. At the same time, a breathing bar appeared on the screen, which was exactly the same as when swimming. However, because Xiao Jie had the dragon spirit and the water control technique, the breathing bar was frighteningly long when swimming, and he could basically stay underwater for an hour or so.
However, the breathing time of this earth escape technique is much shorter and can only last for three minutes.
But if you want to escape or sneak in, a few minutes is enough.
Xiao Jie crawled out of the ground, very satisfied.
Master Xiao Yue was a little surprised, "Haha, you actually learned it. Come on, let's continue."
The two men came to the military camp behind the city wall again.
Among the garrison troops of the city pass, there is a heavy infantry unit whose only task is to defend the city gate. In case the city gate is breached, they will rush forward and guard the gate.
This group of heavy infantry is the Turtle Clan.
They were all wearing heavy armor with tortoise patterns, had short stature, and looked silly. They looked like a bunch of honest people.
However, even an honest man became anxious when he heard that he was going to be taught the art of Xuanling Turtle Shell.
"Master, aren't you bullying an honest man? This Mysterious Spirit Turtle Shell Technique cannot be taught to anyone. When we were sent out to join the army, the elders in our family told us that we can do anything except this life-definition magic. No one can be taught, especially those members of the Jie family. We must be most careful."
"Well, I know about this. Your elders mentioned it to me, so I kicked all the people from the Xie family into the water army. This time, I also informed your elders in advance. We have already agreed on it. Just teach them."
Captain Gui was immediately confused. "Really, you are not lying to me, are you? I am not well educated, so please don't bluff me."
Master Xiaoyue was immediately furious: "Are you doubting my character? I am the governor of Canglin Province, Master Xiaoyue, and you dare to doubt me? You are so bold!"
Captain Gui was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, of course not, I will teach you right away, right away... But this life magic is not easy to learn, don't blame me if you can't teach me."
"Just teach him. If he can't teach, it's his incompetence."
Captain Gui walked up to Xiao Jie and said, "My hero, watch carefully. This is how the Mystical Spirit Tortoise Shell Technique is used."
The art of mysterious tortoise shell!
Then he saw hexagonal spiritual patterns emerging around Captain Gui's body, forming a tortoise shell-shaped protective shield that enveloped Captain Gui's body.
[System prompt: Gui Renyi has taught you his innate magic - the Mysterious Turtle Shell Technique. You have gained a new skill, which you can view in the skill list.]
[Mysterious Spirit Turtle Shell Technique (Birthday Magic Technique)
Usage: Consumes 200 mana points to summon the Xuanling Turtle Shell to protect yourself. The Xuanling Turtle Shell will provide you with a spell shield with 1200 durability and 200 defense points, which lasts for 30 seconds.
Note: The Xuanling Turtle Shell can only be used once a day. Once the Xuanling Turtle Shell is broken in battle, it will enter a damaged state and will take 7 days to reshape.
Spell Skills: The mysterious secrets mastered by the Black Turtle Clan, possessing super strong defensive capabilities, able to resist powerful attacks in battle. 】
This spell is also quite satisfactory. Compared with the Crouching Tiger Stone Form, the Xuanling Turtle Shell lasts longer, and you can continue fighting after using it. It can be said to be a life-saving skill.
I am a squishy melee fighter and usually can only rely on jumping around with my agility. But with this skill, I can actually fight hard.
"How is it, have you learned it?"
"I've learned it." Xiao Jie said, but he didn't use it. This skill can only be used once a day, so it's better not to use it easily.
"Then let's continue."
As Master Xiaoyue said this, he brought Xiao Jie to the baggage camp behind the city wall.
"Doctor Xie, Doctor Xie, please come out for a moment. I need your help."
"Oh my, what wind brought the real person here?"
Then I saw a bald doctor with sparse hair walking out of the tent.
"Is there any wounded person to be treated?"
"That's not the case. This person wants to learn the art of using poison stakes to knock down horses from you."
"Hehehe, Master, you are joking. How can such a small trick like this be worthy of Master's attention?"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me, what do you want?" Master Xiaoyue seemed to know Doctor Xie very well.
"Hehehe, the Immortal is indeed a quick-witted person. I heard that a lot of monster corpses were obtained today, and some living monsters were also captured. I have been researching medicine recently and I need some consumables. If you can assign some monster captives to me..."
"No problem, I'll have someone bring it to you in a bit."
"Haha, that's great, but your herbs in my tent are almost used up, so why not..."
"No problem, I'll have someone deliver it to you in a moment."
"Hehehe, thank you very much, but..."
"Thank you, Doctor!" Master Xiaoyue's voice suddenly rose octaves.
Doctor Xie said hurriedly, "Ah, Master, don't worry, I'll teach you right away, I'll teach you right away, watch out, kid, I'll only cover it up once."
Doctor Xie turned around abruptly, and a scorpion tail suddenly emerged from under his robe, stabbing towards Xiao Jie as fast as lightning.
Xiao Jie was taken aback. Because the opponent was too fast and he was not prepared, he was unable to dodge.
Bang! He was stabbed right in the face.
The scorpion's tail disappeared instantly, and a red word appeared above Xiao Jie's head.
-
1!
Uh...that’s it?
[System prompt: Doctor Xie has taught you his innate magic - the art of inverted horse poison stake. You have acquired a new skill, which you can view in the skill list.]
Xiao Jie opened the skill bar and found that there was indeed an extra skill.
[The Art of Horse-Falling Poison Stake (Birthday Magic)
Use: Use the invisible scorpion tail to quickly stab the enemy (consumes 50 mana points). Cause 33 physical damage and apply a layer of poison effect, causing 20 poison damage in 66 seconds (poison damage enjoys spell damage bonus).
Note: If the enemy is hit by the poison stake again while in the poisoned state, the poisoning time will be refreshed and the poison damage will be doubled.
After three layers of scorpion venom are stacked, the enemy will be paralyzed for 5 seconds. This effect cannot be triggered continuously.
Spell introduction: The stinger on the scorpion's tail and the needle on the wasp's tail are the most poisonous in the world. 】
That's it... the damage is a bit low.
Fortunately, the poison damage can be stacked. If there are three layers of scorpion venom, plus the spell damage bonus, the damage is still considerable.
There is also a paralysis special effect, which is not too bad.
Moreover, this skill is released very quickly, and it is difficult for enemies to dodge when released at close range, which is also an advantage.
Xiao Jie looked at his health points and found that the lost 1 point had been restored long ago.
He has the characteristics of being invulnerable to swords and guns and immune to all poisons. This skill is almost always useful to him.
However, it is a good DOT skill + control skill to use against enemies in the future.
