[The host chose innovation. Please specify another one or more witchcrafts. ]
"Magic to control the skeleton!" Richard was delighted and recited to himself immediately.
[The level of control over the skeleton has reached its limit, meeting the requirements for innovation. This innovation will generate a new zero-level witchcraft, which requires 14521 energy points. The current energy points are met, and innovation will begin! ]
[Ding! Generate new level zero sorcery: exoskeleton armor]
[Exoskeleton Armor: Consume mental energy, manipulate skeletons to assemble around yourself or your allies, and protect like a shield. The spell requires a witchcraft medium: a skeleton. ]
Afterwards, the new witchcraft, the five witchcraft runes involved, witchcraft models and spells, etc. were also displayed.
Moreover, the witchcraft medium needed to perform witchcraft also requires a skeleton, just like before, and there are no other additional requirements.
Richard was immediately overjoyed, it seemed that all his hard work over the past few days had not been in vain.
Besides the surprise, there is also thinking.
Richard pondered, "The name of exoskeleton armor clearly reveals that it is also a zero-level magic that tends to protect.
It was probably influenced by the dark element shield. After all, I chose to combine a defensive level zero sorcery with an offensive trick. The inspiration panel made some kind of fusion innovation based on this."
Richard checked the panel and saw that the newly added zero-level witchcraft after the innovation was now displayed separately in the [Witchcraft] column: Exoskeleton Armor (1% entry level).
One good thing about the innovative witchcraft is that you can get started right away without having to spend time on the preparatory steps or anything like that.
But think about it, isn't this as it should be? After all, the prerequisites for the exoskeleton armor are: level zero witchcraft dark element shield and trick-control skeleton.
And in these two aspects, I have reached my limit.
Moreover, Richard guessed that this newly added level-0 witchcraft would allow him to improve very quickly.
Because there are precedents in this regard, for example, controlling skeletons and summoning skeletons are only related to a certain extent, but if one of them is at a high level, the other will improve rapidly.
In comparison, the correlation between exoskeleton armor, dark element shield and controlled skeleton is much higher!
Unfortunately, the energy points are insufficient now, otherwise, the speed can be verified immediately.
Now that he had acquired the new level-0 sorcery, Richard certainly wanted to try out its effects.
Ask Fingart to randomly find a fishman skeleton as a medium for witchcraft.
As the spell sounded, the entire skeleton's skeleton was controlled by Richard's mental tentacles and began to assemble around his body.
The skull part of the skeleton covered Richard's entire face, presenting a white fish head shape!
Hey! That's not right! It's a fish head shape!
Yes, his original skeleton was placed in the school and he did not bring it here. This was the skeleton that Fingart secretly found. It was a skeleton of a former high-level murloc warrior.
"However, the shape of this fish head is really funny! I have to find a human skeleton next time!" Richard complained to himself.
The chest defense is pretty good on the front, as it is protected by dozens of ribs. However, the back is hollow, similar to the evening dresses of women in previous lives, with the entire back exposed. Overall, it is a semi-enclosed defense.
But the defense of the limbs is obviously awkward. For example, in the arms, there are only the ulna and radius arranged parallel to the arms, and the protection of the two slender bones can't even be considered half-encirclement.
However, if you don't consider practicality too much, this witchcraft is definitely one of those that looks great.
A few seconds later, Richard, dressed in skeleton armor, appeared in the room majestically, except that the fish head shape was a bit funny.
Richard thought about it. The owner of his skeleton was a high-level murloc warrior, so the hardness was high enough. From this point of view, the most practical scenario for his skeleton armor should be to deal with the chops of swords, axes and other weapons. It must have good protective power.
However, the protection against arrows is much weaker, after all, there are too many gaps between the bones.
The defense against witchcraft is probably not very good, and splash damage cannot be defended at all.
So, at present, this is a new level 0 sorcery with relatively few application scenarios.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Come in!"
The person who came was Fingart. Basically, except for Fingart, there were no other murlocs in the entire murloc tribe camp who would come to disturb Richard.
So, when Richard heard someone knocking on the door, he knew it must be Fingart.
What if it wasn't Fingart but someone else's sneak attack? Hehe, the skeleton guardian behind the door is not a pushover either.
"Master, a warrior from our tribe has found traces of a giant mantis in a thorn fern bush in the Gray Fern Wilderness. What do you think?"
Fingart reported respectfully at the door.
After hearing this, Richard's eyes lit up immediately. He had been hunting monsters for three consecutive days, but had never encountered a giant mantis. This time, he finally got his chance.
"Arrange people, take your tower shields and fishing nets! Set off in half an hour." Richard said decisively.
"Yes, master!" Fingart bowed respectfully and slowly left the room.
The tower shield of the murlocs is similar in shape to that of the humans on the surface, but the materials are quite different. It is made of the roots of a very heavy and hard iron fern as the skeleton, and then covered with several layers of fish skin specially made from a rubber fish in a dark water lake.
The skin of this fish is like the rubber that Richard used to make tires in his previous life. It is extremely tough and an ordinary knight's sword needs to chop the same wound several times before it can split it.
The skin of this rubber fish can be made even tougher if it is professionally nitrated and dried by the fishman tribe.
In addition, the fishing net is also made of vines of a mutated man-eating vine. After being soaked in a special medicine from the fishman tribe, it is very difficult to cut.
These two things can be said to be the key to killing the Troll Mantis. They are the blood and tears experience summarized by the Murloc Tribe when they hunted the Troll Mantis.
After all, the prophets of the fishman tribe have tried many times to make extremely difficult potions such as the Heart of Mutation, and the amount of raw materials wasted is also quite high.
Therefore, this time Richard can be said to have picked up a great bargain by standing on the shoulders of the murloc prophets and hunting the troll mantis.
The troll mantis is different from the monsters Richard killed before, it has wings!
According to the servant Fingart, the troll mantis moves extremely fast. Once it finds it is no longer viable, it will immediately flap its wings and flee, making it impossible to catch up with it.
Therefore, you must bring multiple fishing nets to trap it layer by layer during the battle and restrict its movements. Otherwise, even if you can defeat it, you will definitely not be able to stop it.
Moreover, the Troll Mantis is extremely vengeful. If it cannot be killed, it will turn around and cause trouble for the Murloc Tribe after it recovers from its injuries.
In this regard, the previously powerful Blind Murloc Tribe suffered several losses.
After everything was ready, Richard and his group of dozens of people set out fully armed and rushed to the dragon bone fern bush where the troll mantis was infested.
A few hours later, after picking up the mutant crab demon controlled by the Soul-Eating Spider, the group arrived at the dragon bone fern bush in a mighty manner.
"Master, when our tribe hunted troll mantises in the past, we always looked for a small valley in advance and set up an ambush. What do you think, should we find a suitable place first?" Fingart whispered on the side.
"Valley? Why not find a cave? Wouldn't it be easier to restrict the movements of the troll mantis?" Richard couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Master, this giant mantis is cautious by nature and rarely enters a cave where it is restricted from flying."
"Then let's hurry up and find a suitable valley. By the way, should I let the mutant crab demon hide aside first? Otherwise, as soon as the mutant crab demon appears, the giant mantis may start to run away." Richard nodded.
"Praise you, wise master!"
"Okay, stop flattering me and get back to your business."
Since there were other fishmen present, Richard specifically told Fingart not to call him master and not to be overly restrained, but Fingart still called him master secretly, which made Richard angry and amused.
After all, his external identity was just a "wandering wizard" hired by Fingart.
Therefore, it is understandable that Fingart was polite to him, but it was a bit too much to bow and scrape, which could easily be noticed by other fish people. Richard, who wanted to stay behind the scenes, still needed to be careful.
With Fingate arranging dozens of murloc warriors, after careful search, they soon found a narrow valley that could be used as an ambush point.
A group of murloc warriors were divided into several teams according to the division of labor, such as the net-casting team, the tower shield team, etc., and ambushed at various locations in the valley. The three senior murloc warriors were wearing extremely thick clothes, holding special tower shields, and were ready to meet the troll mantis in the valley.
As for the mutant crab demon, Richard placed it downwind, in a depression near the entrance of the valley, and placed a large number of broad-leaved ferns there for cover and camouflage.
Seeing that everything was ready, Richard pointed the Skeleton Summoning Staff forward, and a huge light green inverted pentagram magic circle instantly appeared on the ground in front of him. Three skeleton archers and a skeleton berserker quickly crawled out from it.
This time, Richard considered that he already had the mutant crab demon as a meat shield, which would definitely be enough, so he did not choose to summon the skeleton guard with sword and shield.
Because, if the mutant crab demon can't hold on, it will be useless to summon more skeleton guards.
Therefore, this time he specially summoned three ranged fighters and one melee fighter.
The Skeleton Berserker has a very important task this time, which is to help Richard test the protective capabilities of the skeleton armor, because in Richard's judgment, the skeleton armor should be the most suitable for dealing with the scene in front of him - the slashing of the Troll Mantis's "broadsword".
At this time, Richard began to tiptoe forward and observed the troll mantis that was eating not far ahead.
I saw a giant mantis from an alien world that was magnified dozens of times. It was holding a steel-bristled wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds with a pair of barbed forelimbs and eating it with relish. The strong upper jaw in its mouth opened and closed, easily tearing open the thick wild boar skin.
The troll mantis was similar to the mantis Richard remembered in his previous life. It was light green in color and had excellent concealment in the jungle.
The most eye-catching thing, of course, is its pair of "big swords" with a row of hard and sharp teeth on them. Li realized that if it started chopping, even the special tower shields and fishing nets prepared by the fish people would not be able to hold out for long.
Secondly, there is the pair of broad light green wings on its back. If you look carefully, you can vaguely see that there is a pair of inner wings as thin as cicada wings under the big wings, which means that the troll mantis actually has two pairs of wings.
Richard thought to himself, "It seems that what Fingart said is true. Judging from bionics, this structure of large and small wings is very conducive to short-distance sprint flight and sudden change of direction.
The troll mantis must move extremely fast and be agile in dodging.
In this case, I will have to make some changes to the lure plan I originally planned."
It seems that hunting the troll mantis also requires a lot of attack power from the hunter. If the hunter keeps hunting for too long, it will be easy for the troll to escape.
However, with the mutant crab demon around, Richard's strong point is this. At present, as long as the troll mantis is led to the preset battlefield, it will most likely be defeated.
Richard arranged the three skeleton archers in a straight line between the valley and the troll mantis.
"Swish!" The skeleton archer closest to the troll mantis shot three arrows at the troll mantis's abdomen.
This is exactly the secret bow and arrow technique of multiple shooting that Richard performed when he possessed the skeleton archer!
"Dang! Ding! Ding!" The troll mantis reacted extremely quickly. Its two "swords" flipped like flying and instantly knocked away all three arrows. None of the arrows hit its body.
Richard's pupils shrank when he saw this!
"What a fast speed!"
The troll mantis, whose feeding was interrupted, was obviously very angry at the skeleton archer. In an instant, it dropped the steel-bristled boar clamped between its forelimbs and rushed towards the skeleton archer. With a flap of its wings, it crossed the distance of dozens of meters in less than two or three seconds.
At this time, the first skeleton archer had just turned around and ran four or five meters when he was caught up by the troll mantis.
The skeleton archer raised his bow to block the blow, but it was useless!
"Swish, swish, swish!" The huge sharp and serrated forelimbs chopped dozens of times in succession. Three seconds later, there was only a pile of chopped bones left where the skeleton archer had been.
Richard gave the skeleton archer a dark element shield in advance, which only allowed him to hold on for two more seconds!
That's right, it only lasted two more seconds!
It wasn't that Richard's extreme dark element shield was not powerful, but that the troll mantis's "big knife" chopped too fast. Within one second, it chopped more than ten times from all angles.
Who can withstand this!
"Hiss! This attack power is amazing!" Richard was stunned.
After killing the Skeleton Archer, the Troll Mantis showed a very anthropomorphic expression of satisfaction on his face, which roughly meant: "How dare you interrupt my meal? I'll chop you into pieces!"
When the fishmen in the distance saw this scene, they thought that the "wandering wizard's" luring plan had failed, and they were a little discouraged.
Suddenly, the second skeleton archer arranged by Richard shot another arrow from a position closer to the valley.
Hearing the sharp sound of breaking air again, the troll mantis turned around instantly, and with a "sword" he chopped off the sneak attack arrow at a speed so fast that the afterimage could be seen!
This sneak attack made the giant mantis instantly furious. This time, it flapped both pairs of wings at the same time!
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
This time, the high-frequency vibrating wings covered the same distance in just over a second and rushed to the front of the second skeleton archer.
Under the violent cutting of the "big knife", Richard, who was not far away, seemed to be able to feel the sharp airflow coming towards him, making him shudder.
In an instant, the second skeleton archer followed the fate of the first skeleton archer and was chopped into pieces.
The previous one can be used to make pork ribs soup, but this one is chopped too finely and can probably only be used to paint walls.
Richard couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Guys, let's go back to the world of the dead and rest for a while. I will avenge you later!"
It seems that the troll mantis, who was attacked for the second time, was really angry!
However, this also allowed Richard to observe on the spot that the speed of the troll mantis's full-speed attack was really amazing!
When the troll mantis was about to turn around and leave again to continue eating, the third skeleton archer who was originally hiding at the entrance of the valley started
"whoosh!" again.
This made the Giant Mantis go crazy instantly, so without thinking, it flew towards the valley where the third skeleton archer was, as fast as thunder!
