Chapter 92: Statue of the Plague God
Systematic identification shows that there is still dried bone marrow inside the bone sculpture, which is a special food ingredient.
Alan used a needle to pierce the ear hole of the statue.
Pick out a small amount of powder without damaging the statue.
Dark brown, no odor.
This is the dried bone marrow.
Put it in your mouth and savor it.
It still has no taste, like eating a little bit of dirt.
Fortunately, the system prompts gave him comfort.
"Eat special ingredients: bone marrow infused with divine power!"
"Potential +2!"
"Spirit +1!"
Gain two potential points at once!
In fact, Allen had long discovered that special ingredients also have different grades.
Higher-grade ones, such as the bone marrow of a statue, will give you more potential points after consumption.
After increasing his spirit by 1 point, Allen's current attributes are:
Physical 21, Agility 18, Spirit 22
The mental attributes once again surpassed the physical attributes .
In addition to the bone marrow, this statue of the God of Plague, which is highly valued by the Beast Cult, is itself a rare treasure.
After some in-depth research and with the help of the system, Alan finally deciphered the two special uses of the Plague God Statue.
First: If the holder converts to Beast Worship, kneels down to worship the statue, and prays devoutly to the "Plague God" Squark for protection, he may receive divine revelation and gain the power to cure the plague and control the rats.
Second: If the holder is a warlock with beastly blood, he can purify his beastly blood by 1% if he carries the statue with him during meditation for 7 days. And so on, the blood can be purified up to 7%.
Alan didn't dare to say what the future would be like.
At least for now, as a student of the Warlock Academy, it is certainly impossible for him to join the hostile Beast Cult.
Therefore, the first function of the Plague God Statue is of no use to him for the time being.
The second function is quite valuable. You don't need to worship the evil god. Just put the statue beside you when meditating, and you will get the effect of purifying your beastly bloodline.
In addition to the poison demon bloodline, Allen also has beastman bloodline.
The purity is very low, less than 1%.
Conventional blood test methods cannot detect it at all.
Although the beast bloodline is thin, it does exist.
It can be increased to a maximum of 7% by meditating on the Plague Statue.
If the purity of a bloodline reaches 7%, it is considered a superior aptitude!
If necessary, the beast bloodline can be awakened at any time.
If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries.
Alan is currently focusing on the poisonous demon bloodline.
What if one day I can’t make it in the Warlock Academy anymore and have to join the Beast Cult…
The fusion of beast blood can be used as a retreat!
…
the next day.
Alan received the reward that Marvin asked Tanya to pass on.
This was the reward he got in exchange for selling the opportunity to practice in the secret realm.
Frankly speaking, it was sold at a good price!
Marvin's thank-you gift included enough magic stones for Alan to meditate for a year, as well as two blood awakening potions.
The first potion.
After the injection, there is a high probability that the 1st-level super-magic skill "Spell Shaping" will be awakened.
Spell Shaping: Spend 2 more mana points when casting a spell, and you can fine-tune the range of influence of spells or magical martial arts.
For example, changing an explosion centered on itself into a cone-shaped eruption.
The spell range after adjustment shall not be larger than before.
On this basis, you can shape it in any way you like.
Super magic skills are an important part of improving the power of spells.
Usually.
The total amount of magic consumed by a spell, including super magic, does not exceed the caster's spiritual attribute.
The mental limit is like the maximum output power.
For Allen, the current ceiling is 22 points of magic.
Among the spells that Alan knows, the one that consumes the most mana is "Thunder Wave", which only consumes 4 points.
Including the shaping magic, it’s only 6 points.
It's still far from his "power" limit.
Thunder Wave + Spell Shaping, this is a classic combination.
When releasing the Thunder Wave, you can use the Shaping Super Magic to avoid accidentally hurting your companions.
Allen guessed that Marvin had chosen this thank-you gift specifically because he had seen him perform the "Thunder Wave".
The second injection is even more amazing!
After the injection, Alan will be able to comprehend the second-level body refining secret method "Copper Skin and Iron Bones" in advance.
Alan had seen the senior sister perform this difficult skill before.
It shocked him a little at the time.
Now that I have obtained the reagent and conducted systematic identification, I have a deeper understanding of it.
…
Copper Skin and Iron Bones: After activation, consume 1 magic point per minute. Muscles and bones are as hard as steel, reducing some non-enchanted physical damage.
…
How much damage can be mitigated?
It depends on the practitioner's physical attributes, and the two are directly proportional.
There is another point that must be noted!
A person with strong bones and strong muscles can only resist ordinary fists and kicks.
It is useless against magical weapons, such as Pamela's electric sword.
Now, Alan has a total of three potions in his hand.
He didn't dare inject it all at once, as that would be tantamount to playing with his own life!
There are two major risks in the practice of warlock.
One is regression to the original form of evil.
The second is blood collapse.
The collapse of blood circulation is most likely caused by too many injections.
It exceeds the body's tolerance limit and triggers an immune response.
Every injection of blood awakening agent is a gamble.
If you lose the bet, your bloodline will collapse and you will be crippled even if you don’t die.
From the statistical results of a large number of previous experiences, there is such an empirical rule:
It is best for a warlock not to have a total number of injections in his lifetime that exceeds his physical or mental attributes.
Before the indicators are exceeded, the risk of injection is relatively low and it is worth taking the risk.
If any warning indicator is exceeded, the probability of blood collapse will rise sharply!
Next, give each additional shot.
It's like playing a round of Russian roulette with five bullets.
Allen must overcome his impetuous mentality of being impatient for quick results.
Develop a safe injection plan.
First, inject the "Shaping Super Magic" reagent.
It’s a level 1 super magic skill, with relatively few side effects. Your body will adapt after a period of conditioning.
If all goes well...
Allen plans to get the second shot, "Bronze Skin and Iron Bones", in three months.
Finally, wait for your cultivation to reach a breakthrough level again.
After being promoted to the late stage of Level 1, he took the final and most dangerous shot - Level 2 meditation method.
…
Half a year later.
Meditation world.
Alan is dead.
Killed by the claws of the green dragon Kroshil Mountainking.
To be exact, he died together with the dragon.
This is the best result Allen obtained after repeatedly "reading the disk" more than thirty times.
anyway.
It is almost impossible for the poisonous demon he played to escape unscathed .
This ending, though, is not perfect.
It also fulfilled the wish of the poisonous demon ancestor before his death.
Alan doesn't have to read the disc again.
…
Meditation ends.
Alan was feeling a little excited.
So much effort and resources were spent.
Finally, the practice achieved another breakthrough.
Successfully advanced to the late stage of level 1!
After the promotion, the benefits of the Poison Demon Bloodline remain the same.
Physical attribute +1.
Mental attribute +1.
Natural armor +1.
Allen's current attributes are: 22 physique, 18 agility, 23 spirit
Mana: 92
Natural armor level 4.
Virus resistance level 4.
Unfortunately, the atavism transformation...there is no change, it is still level 1.
The bone spur on the palm of my left hand has changed a lot!
The extension limit of the bone spur suddenly increased from 1 meter to 3 meters.
What’s even more amazing is that…
This bone spur can become soft and hard!
When it is hard, it is like a steel gun.
When soft, it's like a whip.
It can be said to be a combination of hardness and softness!
Allen can switch between soft and hard modes at will.
No matter in which mode, this bone spur is equivalent to a level 1 enchanted weapon!
Similar to Pamela's electric fencing sword and Andy's flaming knife.
Although it does not have elemental enchantment effects, it can easily penetrate the 2nd level body refining secret technique!
For example, the "iron skin and bones" that Allen himself is practicing.
This time, Allen only awakened one spell.
…
Level 1 "Shield": Consumes 3 magic points, adds an invisible force field shield, and increases defense by 4 levels. The shield lasts for up to 1 hour.
…
Allen's poisonous demon bloodline comes with level 4 natural armor.
Atavistic transformation form, additional increase of 2 levels of natural armor.
Add the "shield technique".
Comprehensive defense, reach level 10!
Level 10 defense, what does that mean?
Even if Alan is naked, his defense is equivalent to that of a heavy knight wearing full body plate armor!
This does not include the 0-level spell "Blade Protection" and the physical training "Copper Skin and Iron Bones".
In the state of fully stacked armor...
Alan felt that he was not far from becoming a "Humanoid Gundam".
