From the place signs on the road, Lin Xi figured out that this was the location of Chaohu Lake, one of the five major freshwater lakes in the south of Luzhou.
If the giants descended on Zhucheng and the difficulty level was "normal", and the forces of Shadow Island descended on Luzhou and the difficulty level was "difficult" and even "nightmare" and "hell", then this area is undoubtedly "easy".
In the game, it should be called a novice area.
Monsters originating from the classic online game "MapleStory OL": green snails, blue snails, red snails, wood demons, flower mushrooms, green water spirits...
Not to mention evolutionaries, even an ordinary person can kill monsters with weapons.
Since the distribution density of monsters is not high and their aggressiveness is not high, they will not drown everything like the tide of undead on Shadow Island.
He holds the Frost Flame Moon in his right hand. When walking, the staff hits the ground and makes a crisp impact sound. Three elemental balls rotate around her body. Lin Xi, who has white hair and red eyes and is dressed in a white robe, is so magical in both her outfit and appearance.
Not like a real person at all, but like someone from some two-dimensional animation. Along the way, he killed a number of little monsters, passed through a large grassland, and finally entered a dilapidated town.
The artifact Frost Flame Moon, the top of the crescent-shaped staff, the side inlaid with crimson flame stone, the top one of the three gems, suddenly lit up with a red light.
A strange object that looked like a Halloween pumpkin head, with hot flames flashing in the pumpkin's eyes and mouth, rushed out from the staff.
"boom!"
Amidst the explosion and air waves, a tree stump as big as a round table, with an eye on the bark and four legs growing out of it, exploded into a blazing fireball.
This tree stump is the wood demon.
Compared with green water spirits, snails and other monsters, it is a higher-level plant monster. Because there is a weak monster power in the body and the bark is extremely strong, it is surprisingly durable. If it were not for magic, just relying on fists, feet or swords, It's not easy to kill.
The magic Lin Xi used was the "Jack Bomb" that comes with Frost Flame Moon!
In fact, along the way, he tried to experiment with the new awakened abilities, but discovered one thing:
He is not fit to be a lawyer...
What a real mage possesses is magic or mana - this is a kind of energy similar to psionic energy, mainly belonging to the spiritual aspect. What Lin Xi transforms into elemental energy is biological energy: this is energy from the physical body and from vitality.
The two are fundamentally different from each other!
In addition, magicians need spells to release spells, or some other means, such as engravings and magic circles.
Lin Xi didn't understand any spells.
Besides, even if there were spells, it wouldn't work for him to use them, because those spells are in conjunction with magic power and have nothing to do with the elements that living things can transform.
Unless Lin Xi creates a new magic system driven by biological energy...
If you want to reach this level, you probably need to go to "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" first, systematically study magic theory, become a theorist, and then go through years or decades of experiments and research.
Release fireballs, ice bullets, and lightning.
Lin Xi can do it, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with real magic.
This is just relying on mind power, using mental control, simply shaping the energy and then releasing it. The power of the spell is not directly proportional to the consumption. It is better to directly use the energy to send a wave fist to save worry.
Before the end of the world, Lin Xi once watched a movie on the Internet: The blood of beasts boils. The protagonist possesses magical power and realm that surpasses multiple planes. He is close to the gods, but he can't even fire a fireball. When he encounters an enemy, he still has to go up and chop him bare-chested.
He's a little bit similar now.
The use of elements is very rough.
Mage—What kind of mage is he if he can’t cast powerful spells
What's even more sad is that Lin Xi can't see any future on the road of mage - unless in the future, he gets the overall ability inheritance similar to World of Warcraft, "Summoner Carl" and others!
This made him unable to help but worry about what the future holds.
With the loss of kinetic energy and heat energy, the conventional combat effectiveness and explosive power of melee combat have dropped a lot. If the spell no longer has potential...
Of course, Lin Xi is not worried about hesitation. At least, his bloodline and the ancestor virus have endless possibilities. Maybe after swallowing the blood of a certain creature and changing the DNA, a new path will immediately appear.
What's more, elemental energy, even if it can't release magic or develop cocktail mixing spells, still has huge benefits!
Fire and lightning have certain bonuses to undead and dark monsters.
There is also the artifact Frost Flame Moon, which comes with its own spells: Whirling Fire Shield and Jack Explosive Bomb, which require the fire element to activate them - only today's young people can truly exert the power of this artifact.
…
Walking on the street, Lin Xi felt a little strange.
The monsters in this town and its surroundings are so weak that it can be said to be very safe. Why is it that it is daytime and no one is seen on the streets? The whole town gives people a lifeless, decayed and dilapidated feeling, exuding a dark atmosphere.
He was going to enter the building and ask someone alive.
At this time, danger is approaching.
About a thousand meters away, on the twelfth floor of a tall building, two men were observing the street with telescopes, their eyes full of surprise.
"That guy... Summoner Karl?"
"Karl, he seems to have yellow hair, right? This guy has white hair, and his age seems wrong." The man who spoke was in his 40s, with a broad nose and a square mouth. "But... I don't care if he is Karl or not, Li Haitao, give him a shot." , both bosses and evolvers are dropped."
"Uncle Zheng, that kid seems difficult to deal with."
Li Haitao is a young man in his 20s, with a pockmarked face, slightly fat, and ordinary appearance.
"Looking at him like that, he is definitely a mage... Damn it, he's afraid of a bullet... The girl we killed two days ago was not a mage? Besides, if something went wrong, the boss would do it. We deal with the aftermath.”
Li Haitao hesitated for a few seconds and nodded. On the one hand, it was his confidence in his boss, and on the other hand, he was also confident in his own abilities.
What is a mage
Physically weak.
Not to mention a mage, even a magic god, a mere bullet is enough to kill the opponent.
This is because of his skills:
Sniper!
Even if it's not as good as the "Death Eye" in the anime, it's definitely a terrifying ability! After the bullet hits, it will cause penetrating damage. If it hits a weak point such as the temple or heart, it will be a fatal blow!
Although his ability is only three-star, Li Haitao believes that anyone with four, five, or even six-star ability will die if he uses a sniper rifle to snipe from a thousand meters away.
"Kill him, I wonder what good things will drop?"
There was some expectation and excitement in his heart. Li Haitao took out a sniper rifle from the item space. Although it was just an ordinary Barrett, to be on the safe side, he wanted to kill this man who seemed to be the summoner Karl, who was either a boss or an evolver. Out of precious ammunition:
Tungsten cored discarding sabot!
The magazine containing 10 bullets was buckled, and the young man opened the magnifying glass of the sniper rifle and pointed the crosshair into the distance.
He lay down by the window, his breathing slowed down, and he completely immersed himself in the weapon in his hand - knowing that some people with particularly sensitive minds would be sensitive to a sniper rifle being pointed at their head, he focused his aim on the boy's head. above.
This shot can only hit the hair, but the moment the bullet comes out of the chamber, you only need to adjust your movements slightly.
A bold and careful young man who was originally a soldier and had been exposed to sniper rifles, the "sniper killing" skill was tailor-made for him - allowing him to become the god of death who secretly kills all powerful enemies!
"boom!"
Huge and brutal gunshots resounded throughout the building.
The moment the bullet came out of the barrel and the sound rang out, Lin Xi's heart suddenly became alert. After awakening his superpower, his consciousness was already very sensitive. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a person with mental expertise. He quickly turned his head to look into the distance, and at the same time, he evaded his body. It's a pity it's too late.
The bullet hit the forehead but missed the temple.
That's okay, because once you hit it, it's over.
Who can resist the "sniper" skill, a headshot with a tungsten cored discarding sabot? Neither can the boss!
Lin Xi was shot, and her head was knocked back, and she suffered a huge collision. It seemed that she was drunk and could not stabilize her body. She took a few steps to the side, and the three elemental spheres swirled around her head. , all collapsed.
"What?"
Uncle Zheng, who was looking through the binoculars, exclaimed. He saw that the armor-piercing bullet was twisted and embedded in the center of the young man's forehead. Li Haitao's sniper bullet did not penetrate the skull, but only broke the outer flesh!
You know, Lin Xi's original attributes are twenty times that of ordinary people.
It's not a single attribute, but a combination of ten attributes - and after turning on the destruction, he relied on gems to regenerate and repair his body, absorbing the high-level life source energy containing divine power. The strength of his physical body was greatly increased, and his physique, armor, and magic resistance were all extremely abnormal.
An armor-piercing bullet hit his skull. Even with the blessing of skills, he couldn't be killed.
"No, he. Mom is a tough guy!"
Li Haitao was also shocked. The bullet to the head did not kill the boy. Is this a mage or a human shield
However, he was surprised but did not panic. Everyone's forehead bones were very hard. Since they couldn't penetrate here, the next blow would be the heart.
The bullet from the sniper rifle caused some dizziness and shock in the head, but after all, he was a strong man who had awakened his spiritual powers and developed part of his brain. Lin Xi quickly calmed down his dazed mind.
He raised his hand, removed the bullet from his forehead, and threw it aside.
The bleeding wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. After possessing the mark of life, the regenerative power of the ancestor virus bloodline was further strengthened.
"boom!"
There was another sniper roar, this time aimed at the heart. Li Haitao was confident that the bullet this time would definitely penetrate the opponent's flesh, and even blow a big hole in the chest and heart.
"impossible!"
The two discovered that a thousand meters away, the flying bullets suddenly slowed down when they reached the boy.
Lin Xi's eyes were shining with bright red light, and she used her mind power to build an invisible barrier around her. When the bullet hit the barrier, it was greatly blocked by her mind.
Then, he raised the Frost Flame Moon and knocked the bullet away.
"Sneak attack on me? So, are you ready to pay the price?" Wings of blood erupted from behind his shoulders, and Lin Xi, who activated Yu He, instantly flew into the sky and flew towards the tall building where the armor-piercing projectile was fired.
