Chapter 117: Iron Bones
The five special spores collected in the mushroom garden have been added to the food illustrations.
Allen uses his own venom glands to synthesize it at any time.
This meant that even in the worst case scenario, if the mushroom garden was lost and he was forced to flee with Sonia, he would never lack the spores needed for meditation.
Therefore, his mentality is completely different from that of Ethan and others.
Mushroom garden, guard it if you can.
He doesn't care if he can't keep it.
What he really cares about is to take advantage of the chaos to settle personal grudges.
Han Ning must die!
Alan opened the system interface.
The inventory potential is 5 points, all obtained by absorbing spores.
A powerful enemy is approaching. If we don't use our potential to improve our combat power now, when will we? !
Allen spent 4 potential points to start the martial arts fusion process.
"Martial arts fusion, deduction in progress..."
Didi——
"Deduction completed!"
The formula is as follows:
0-ring Blade Protection + 1-ring Shielding + 2nd-level Copper Skin and Iron Bones + 4 points of Potential = 4th-level Unnamed Body Refining Skill
"Please name it!"
"Iron bones!" Alan had already thought of it.
…
Iron Bones (Level 4): After being activated, it consumes 2 mana points per minute; the flesh and blood are harder than steel, and have built-in magic resistance, which has a damage reduction effect on both physical and magical attacks.
The amount of physical (magical) damage reduced is proportional to the physical (mental) attribute.
Level 2 or higher enchanted weapons ignore this defense.
…
The 2nd level "Copper Skin and Iron Bones" can be upgraded to the 4th level "Steel Bones", which greatly enhances the physical defense.
It was completely unable to resist enchanted weapons, but now it can resist level 1 enchanted weapons.
For example, the Joker's bloody claws and Allen's own bone spurs.
This was something Alan had expected.
What he never expected was...
"Iron Bones" can actually resist magical damage!
That’s amazing!
Allen compared his physical defense, replaced the key parameter "Physique (22)" with "Spirit (28)", and did a simple calculation.
The conclusion is... most of the 0-level and 1-level magic , even if they deal the maximum damage, cannot penetrate the "iron bones"!
Level 2 magic poses a certain threat to him, but is not fatal enough.
3rd ring magic, very threatening!
But after deducting the damage absorbed by "Iron Bones", Alan was not killed instantly.
"No wonder the instructor always said that in a battle between high-level warlocks, cannon fodder is meaningless. No matter how many of them come, they will all die!"
Alan muttered to himself.
After thinking calmly, I feel that I can’t be too optimistic.
After all, in addition to magic that causes direct damage, there is also mind control magic.
"Bones of steel" literally means that one would not be able to resist the latter.
Fortunately, Allen's spiritual attributes are high enough.
Unless the enemy's rank is much higher than his, it is unlikely to break through his will defense.
Crunch——
There was a sound of door opening behind me, Sonia came back.
"Brother Alan! This is going to be exciting!"
"Someone from the Warlock Academy has arrived and has already broken into the mushroom circle."
"The captain asked us to join the war. What do you want to do next?"
"It's very simple," Allen stood up slowly, his eyes stern, "Take advantage of the situation and fish in troubled waters. Both parties will win!"
"Great!" Sonia clapped her hands and laughed, "That's what I was planning too!"
…
On the outskirts of the secret realm, there is a mushroom circle.
Around the teleportation array, the attackers and defenders were fighting fiercely.
Han Ning was dressed in a green robe, with a calm expression and a free and easy demeanor.
Behind him followed three of his direct disciples, Pap, Taona, Angela, as well as Charlie and Pike, father and son, from the Griffin family.
In addition to these main combat forces, there are six first-level warlocks and twenty advanced apprentices who are besieging the cultists guarding the teleportation array.
The light emitted by various magic bursts out, illuminating the Underdark.
The battle was fierce and the attack lasted for a long time without success.
Han Ning frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.
"All of you get out of the way."
Han Ning raised his hand, green magic power surged in his palm, and he grabbed the enemy's most heavily defended area through the air.
Countless needle-like green rays gushed out from the palm of his hand, forming a green light curtain in the air.
3rd ring magic - summon rain of arrows!
The sky was filled with green light, which turned into countless arrows and fell into the mushroom circle with dense and sharp sounds of breaking wind.
The demon cultists guarding the teleportation array had no time to dodge the rain of arrows falling from the sky.
The sharp arrow pierced through the flesh, making a muffled sound.
The mushroom circle was littered with corpses and blood.
"A bunch of trash, no match for them!"
A disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of Han Ning's lips.
He flicked his sleeves, calmly stepped over the corpses, and was the first to walk into the teleportation array.
Tao Na and others followed closely behind.
Only a small number of apprentices were left to clean up the battlefield and take care of the wounded.
Everyone teleported collectively and disappeared in the beam of light.
…
"The teleportation array is lost!"
"Intruders have entered the secret realm!"
In the mushroom garden, bad news came one after another.
Captain Ethan, order all your subordinates to join the battle as soon as possible!
"Protect the secret realm at all costs!"
Alan and Sonia were also among those recruited.
The "phantom eggs" in Sonia's body have been eliminated by Allen, so she can completely ignore the captain's orders.
However, Sonia still pretended to be controlled by the phantom insect eggs.
She didn't want to stand out until the time was right.
Same thing with Alan.
Carrying a big stick, he followed Sonia .
Under the pretext of obeying the regiment commander's command, he fished in troubled waters.
…
Suddenly, a strong flash of light broke out in the mushroom forest.
The clanging sound of weapons colliding was heard afterwards.
Four enchanted sorcerers were fighting fiercely with three men in green robes.
Alan and Sonia, with the hellhounds and winter wolves, approached the battle zone quietly.
In the darkness, Sonia's beautiful eyes were filled with excitement and cruelty.
She was not in a hurry to take action, and would wait until both sides were exhausted, and then it would not be too late to reap the rewards.
Alan thought the same thing.
And his opportunity came earlier than Sonia's.
"Detecting viruses", a high concentration of hallucinogenic spores was detected nearby.
Hallucinogenic spores are usually concentrated in only two organisms.
One of them is the indigenous inhabitants of the mushroom garden - the mushroom people.
The second type is the mage who needs hallucinogenic spores to assist in meditation.
Myconians are naturally timid and hate violence, so they will not get involved in disputes between outsiders.
When the war broke out, the mushroom people ran to the mushroom master for refuge.
Therefore, the only person who could possibly appear here is a mage!
Alan carried a big stick and approached quietly.
Not far away, under a giant mushroom, two people were fighting.
On one side is a natural sorcerer in a green robe. He looks familiar and should be Han Ning's disciple.
His cultivation level was probably at the late first stage.
The enchanted sorcerer who was fighting the natural sorcerer had already transformed into his ancestral form and looked like a red-haired gorilla.
He has a muscular body of a gorilla, but a face that looks like a bat.
The eyes are large and lifeless, and the eyesight is very poor.
It can only detect the opponent's position by occasionally emitting ultrasonic waves from its mouth.
Even stranger is his ears, whose auricles are shaped like folding fans and covered with vertical folds.
It looks like a pair of bat wings, flapping from time to time.
Alan has long known that there are many weird people in the mushroom garden, but it is rare to see such a weird one!
The evenly matched battle ended tragically with both sides suffering losses.
Bang!
The bat demon raised his fist and smashed the natural warlock's head!
The last magic cast by the natural warlock before his death transformed into a hideous thorn spear.
With a "puff", it pierced deep into the bat demon's heart!
Both men fell down at the same time.
The silent forest was filled with the smell of blood.
Alan shrugged and walked forward to collect the body.
Touch the body of the natural warlock first.
In addition to the ten attributeless magic stones, there are also four light green magic stones, with wood texture vaguely visible on the surface.
This is a magic stone with wood attributes, which is more valuable than a magic stone without attributes!
Allen is not a nature-type person and cannot absorb wood-attribute magic stones.
If you don’t need it, you can sell it.
Alan turned around, walked up to the Batman and searched the body.
As a result, he got a small surprise.
The bat demon is not dead yet.
When he was dying, he felt someone groping his body and instinctively opened his mouth to bite!
A near-death counterattack requires all-out efforts!
The bite landed firmly on Alan's arm.
clang!
Batman, broken front teeth...
Alan's arms had a metallic luster.
Not even a tooth mark was left!
Inadvertently, Allen completed a combat test.
"Iron Bones", perfect defense level 1 enchanted weapon.
"Stop making trouble, why don't you just die quietly?"
Snap!!
Alan casually twisted the Batman's neck and injected digestive fluid at the same time.
In a moment, the corpse turned into pus and blood and seeped into the soil.
Alan did not spare the body of the natural warlock and destroyed it as well.
Collect the loot and continue detecting the poisonous spores.
Soon a new target was locked on.
A closer look...
Wow, it’s quite a big scene!
The two gangs were fighting fiercely, and the leaders were all old acquaintances.
