The Witcher starts by getting the inspiration panel

Chapter 139 New Witchcraft Shadow Dance Step

Regarding Muken's corpse, Li Cha took out the formic acid potion from his bosom, which was also purchased from the Black Forest Bazaar, but what Li Cha didn't expect was that he would use this potion so quickly.

He only thought of this question after he experienced the last battle with the three second-level wizard apprentices in the Ring of North.

In the Gray Fern Wilderness of the Underdark Region, the corpse of every monster can be used as a blood sacrifice to the three-headed snake god Kumera. There is no need to use medicine to treat the corpse.

But back on the surface, things were very different.

Many of the enemies Li Cha encountered were no longer mainly monsters, but mostly humans.

Therefore, it is still very necessary to destroy corpses and wipe out traces.

Although it can't completely cover up the traces, it can at least greatly increase the difficulty of the other party's investigation.

Formic acid potion is a super corrosive potion obtained from the saliva of black fire ants and mixed with other herbs.

For common items such as corpses, linen, and ordinary furs, only a few drops are needed to turn them into a puddle of black water.

But its effect on inorganic objects such as ironware and stones will be much worse.

"Hey hey hey!"

As a few drops of formic acid dripped down, a strong corrosion sound sounded, and a faint black smoke rose instantly from Muken's body, emitting a foul smell.

Like the kind of rotten eggs that have expired for more than half a year, mixed with the taste of Yonedako.

Li Cha, who was already holding his breath, shook his head immediately!

After a while, there was only a pool of black water left on the ground, and Muken's body and clothes disappeared without a trace.

At this point, Li Cha finished cleaning up, started to pack up his things, and took a brief inventory of his gains. If you don't consider the knowledge gains such as witchcraft and potion formulas, from the physical point of view, the benefits this time are quite large.

It is even richer than the spoils obtained from the three second-level wizard apprentices of the Ring of North before.

A single top-level witchcraft item [Wrath of the Storm] is worth about two thousand magic stones.

What's more, Li Cha later found a top-level witchcraft prop [Wind Spirit Pendant] that is actively triggered on Muken. According to Li Cha's estimation, its value may be higher than that of [Storm Fury].

[Wind Spirit Pendant], a top-level witchcraft item, when the holder encounters an attack, it will actively trigger the zero-level witchcraft wind elemental shield and swift wind. At the same time, after the item triggers the special effect once, it only takes 12 Hours of charging time.

Li Cha touched the prism-shaped transparent crystal-shaped pendant in his hand, and could feel the power of the two wind elements growing inside the crystal.

It's a pity that it's impossible for Li Cha not to be greedy for this kind of defensive witchcraft item that will be triggered actively, but he still decided to sell it immediately at the next wizard's fair.

Reduce the risk of being tracked or located.

Muken also carried seven intermediate magic stones and more than 300 ordinary magic stones.

In addition, there are also a series of medicines such as hemostatic medicine, healing medicine, primary mental strength recovery medicine, etc., which are also very valuable.

If they are added together, they must be worth about seven or eight thousand magic stones.

A handsome harvest!

Before rushing on, Richard summoned three skeleton guardians to guard him in the middle.

At the same time, he also took out a set of black robes from his own package and covered one of the skeleton guards.

With such an arrangement, it looks like two wizard apprentices with two skeletons.

That way it doesn't look obtrusive.

After all, a wizard apprentice, even a third-level wizard apprentice, with three skeleton guards, is too conspicuous.

As for why not take out three sets of black robes?

It's very simple, the number of black robes in the package is limited, so save some.

While rushing on the road, Richard was also reflecting on the battle process, such as where he could improve and where he still had shortcomings.

In terms of combat awareness, one's own inspiration panel cannot be directly improved.

During the half a year in the gray fern wilderness in the dark region, Li Cha spent most of his time in battle.

Therefore, in terms of combat experience alone, he is no less than Muken, a third-level wizard apprentice at Gurus Academy.

But for Mu Ken, most of his enemies are wizard apprentices who are also humans, unlike Richard, who are mainly monsters.

So from this point of view, Li Cha's combat experience is not rich enough.

Li Cha has a good habit of constantly summing up and accumulating combat experience.

Cultivate good habits and benefit for life!

That's what he did when he was in the Gray Fern Wilderness. After each battle with strange monsters, Li Cha would sum up his combat experience.

So that in the future, whenever he encounters a familiar monster, Li Cha can quickly find out the opponent's weakness, formulate tactics, and complete a quick kill.

This is why the fighters of the blind murloc tribe admire Li Cha, the "wandering wizard".

Li Cha had fought against almost all the monsters on the outskirts of the Gray Fern Wilderness. After almost meeting each other, Li Cha instinctively knew how to kill the most suitable monsters, and quickly killed the monsters. Ordinary murloc warriors only needed to cheer on the sidelines , after the battle is over, just collect the loot.

From the current point of view, Li Cha feels that the problems he has reflected in this battle are, first of all, his powerful single-body witchcraft is still too little. Although the Shadow Grip is fully functional and belongs to the hexagonal witchcraft, but In terms of attack power, it can only be considered strong, not top-notch.

Secondly, even in terms of long-range attack methods, the longbow originally from the shadow hunters has gradually been unable to keep up with the increasingly powerful enemies.

My current enemies are getting stronger and stronger, from the original first-level and second-level wizard apprentices to the current third-level wizard apprentices.

From the Ring of North to Gurus College, the background is getting bigger and bigger.

Moreover, Li Cha found that Gulus Academy deserved to be the most powerful among the three necromancer academies, and the third-level wizard apprentice Muken just now was quite strong.

Not to mention top-level witchcraft props, but disguise potions and goblins, etc., are extremely rare items, but the other party can actually find them. It can be said that various methods emerge in endlessly.

If it wasn't for the fact that Li Cha had enough followers and he was vigilant enough, he might have capsized the ship.

According to Muken's memory, Richard found that following the Black Forest Trail all the way to the south, after crossing the border of the Kingdom of Heron, but before arriving in Rossby County, there were still two county towns to pass through. Among them, the one in Ander County There is another wizard market near Ander City.

Estimated according to my own travel speed, it will take about two and a half days to reach Andel City, but if you work hard and travel day and night, you can compress the time to one and a half days.

Just work harder!

Li Cha intends to rush to this wizard market quickly, get rid of the things in his hands, and then see if he can find a strong bow that suits him.

Many wizards and wizard apprentices in this world are from noble families. For them, bow and arrow is a basic skill.

Therefore, many people, even if they become third-level wizard apprentices or even wizards, will try to make or buy bows at the level of witchcraft props, that is, bows that are engraved with special witchcraft circles and have special effects.

If you can buy this kind of strong bow at the next wizard market, your long-range attack power will be greatly improved.
-
Time passed as Li Cha continued to hurry!
Li Cha looked up inadvertently. He didn't expect that today is the full moon, and the moon in the other world is as bright and flawless as in the previous life.

The moonlight shone on the black forest with intertwined branches, and sprinkled a little bit of moonlight, making the trees that were already grotesquely shaped even more ferocious and weird at this moment.

The trees on both sides of the path danced and whirled in the breeze, making a rustling sound, like a strange smile.

If ordinary people saw this scene, they would definitely be sick from fright.

No wonder at night in the Black Forest, even first- and second-level wizard apprentices generally don't choose to travel at night.

The atmosphere alone is scary enough!

Only Li Cha is a bold person like Li Cha, who dared to rush on the road overnight, but he also noticed several breaths and followed him all the way, some of them had already left, and some were still following closely in the bushes on both sides of the path .

With the dawn light dew, the sky gradually brightened.

Richard, who had been on the road all night, was a little tired even though he had the physical fitness of a senior knight.

The unknown creatures on both sides of the black forest path, after trailing Li Cha for a while, still did not dare to rush up to attack him, probably because the two fully armed skeletons with swords and shields looked like they had no meat and were not tasty. .

Looking at the tall and sparse trees on both sides of the trail, Li Cha knew that he had already left the core area of ​​the Black Forest, and that his current position was about to enter the border of the Helun Kingdom.

The borders of this world are basically roughly divided. For example, taking a certain river as the dividing line is just a rough idea.

There are no barbed wire fences, boundary markers, and 24-hour patrols along the border in the previous life.

So, all the way was peaceful.

After walking for another hour or so, Li Cha finally walked out of the Black Forest and began to enter a plain area.

As the sun rose slowly, the mist gradually dispersed. Li Cha, who had excellent eyesight, could already see tens of miles ahead. There seemed to be a human village, and scattered houses were faintly visible.

Li Cha immediately beamed with joy. If there is a village, it means there are people.

I can take a break and buy some food, water and even horses.

Although the speed of ordinary horses is definitely not as fast as that of mutant winter wolves, it is just for transportation, so there is no need to be so particular.

Since there is no mutated winter wolf, which is good at climbing mountains and mountains, and he has to go to the wizard market near Ander City, the original plan to climb mountains and take shortcuts was changed by Richard, along the Blvd for quick access to Anderra City.

Getting closer to the village, Richard saw obvious changes in the environment on both sides of the trail.

I saw that the originally messy bushes of different heights have turned into patchwork winter wheat fields.Since it is already the Moon of Green Grass, the winter wheat has survived the harsh winter and has entered the period of rejuvenation.

Turning green, as the name suggests, means that winter wheat starts to grow new leaves again, and the leaves that were originally yellow and green to resist the cold winter will now turn green.

Accompanied by the unique fragrance of new winter wheat leaves and the smell of wheat field soil, Li Cha's mood began to improve unconsciously.

Before entering the village, Li Cha put away three skeleton guards.

With a warm smile on his face, like a sunny boy, he stepped into the village.

Soon, Li Cha was treated like a VIP in a relatively wealthy farmer's house, of course, after paying a gold dinar.

After eating, in the eyes of the peasant family, a rather extravagant breakfast, Li Cha asked for a room to rest for a while.

A bedroom on the second floor of a farmer's house.

Li Cha looked at the 76598 energy points accumulated in the past six months on the inspiration panel, and fell into deep thought.

The original plan was to save this large amount of energy points and use it to break the limit of meditation, but now it seems that it is necessary to improve the [Shadow Dance Step] first.

The effect of this rare zero-level witchcraft is to integrate itself into the shadow. In the shadow, the movement speed of the caster is greatly increased, and the damage received when being attacked will also be partly shared by the shadow. The specific effect depends on the witchcraft. There are large differences in the degree of technical control.

If he masters this witchcraft that focuses on increasing his movement speed, Li Cha's strength will have a small jump again.

[I found that the host is practicing zero-level witchcraft shadow dance steps, is/is it consuming energy to gain inspiration for practicing zero-level witchcraft shadow dance steps? 】

Richard thought for a moment, then dragged the slider to 5000 and selected "Yes!"

In an instant, Li Cha entered the dream space, this time the place seemed to be in a forest, I saw Li Cha possessed a man in black robe, began to chant the spell of shadow dance steps, and in his mind, synchronized Outline the six witchcraft runes involved in the shadow dance
With repeated attempts, Li Cha's comprehension of shadow dance steps is also rapidly improving.

After an unknown period of time, Li Cha's figure began to fly in the mottled light and shadow of the forest. As soon as he entered the shadow area, Li Cha's speed would increase sharply. .
After thousands of practices.
After a whirlwind, Li Cha returned to his body.

Call up the panel and look at the [Witchcraft] column as follows:

Shadow Dance Step (Master 38%, Special Effect: Elementary Shadow Avoids Damage)

[Elementary shadow damage reduction: When the caster is in the shadow area, all damage received will be reduced by 20%. 】

Li Cha looked happy, because this special effect is very practical.

Therefore, Li Cha started to improve again without hesitation.

After traveling through dreams several times, Richard spent a total of 12000 energy points to raise [Shadow Dance] to the limit.

At this moment, the relevant information on the panel is displayed as follows:

Shadow dance step (extreme, special effect: shadow avoids damage)
[Shadow injury-free: When the caster is in the shadow area, all damage received will be reduced by 50%. 】

Looking at the above information, Li Cha smiled with satisfaction.

With the window half-closed, Li Cha couldn't wait to test the witchcraft [Shadow Dance Step] in the room.

I saw that Li Cha's speed remained the same in the bright area, but when he entered the shadow area where the sun could not reach, his whole body was covered with a black gauze, like a cloud of human-shaped black mist, and his speed doubled.

But as soon as he left the shadow area, Li Cha's figure returned to its original speed. This fast-to-slow transition, as the number of times increased, immediately made people feel dizzy as if they just wanted to vomit.

It is conceivable that if the opponent is not prepared, he will be caught off guard by Li Cha's witchcraft.

The shadow dance step with extreme control levels has doubled Li Cha's movement speed in the shadow area. You must know that Li Cha himself has the physical fitness of a high-level knight. On this basis, it is doubled. What kind of concept is this? !
Its mental power consumption is about 2 standard units of mental power per minute.

This was not a big problem in Richard's opinion, as formal battles usually lasted only a few minutes and ended.

If you still can't win in a few minutes, it's better to choose a strategic retreat!

Half an hour later, Li Cha got on a nasty horse with a helpless face, and bid farewell to the enthusiastic farmer's family.

This rogue horse was already the best one that Farmer Helper Richard could find after searching the entire village.

But the speed of the nanny is not much different from Li Cha's walking speed. The only advantage may be that he is not so tired.

So, Li Cha rode a rough horse, along the wet path, all the way towards Ander City.
-
After a day and a half, Li Cha, who had been traveling day and night, finally arrived at the wizard market near Andel City.

After paying the entrance fee for a magic stone, Li Cha walked into the Andel Bazaar with the same name as the nearby county town.

I saw a sign board at both ends and in the middle of the street, which marked the pattern, name and type of sale of the official shop.

For example, the crossed sword and ax symbol represents a store called Dwarven Hammer Blacksmith Shop, which sells all kinds of well-made weapons.

For example, the test tube and beaker logo represent a store called Yedel Pharmacy, which sells various alchemy potions.

And so on
This allowed the wizard apprentices who were new to the market to quickly find their target shop.

Richard took a look and found that there was actually a small auction house here.

Moreover, it seems that in order to avoid vicious competition, there will not be more than three shops of the same type in the market. Li Cha checked and found that there are basically two.

This should be the result of deliberate guidance by the market managers.

On both sides of the street, like the previous Black Forest Fair, there are wizard apprentices setting up stalls.

The size of the entire market is half a chip higher than that of the Black Forest Market, probably because it is far away from large academies, and the trading needs of wizards and wizard apprentices have also begun to increase.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Cha decided to go to the auction house to have a look first. Generally speaking, those who can go to the auction house must be good things.

Moreover, it is estimated that the few things in my hand may not be eaten by ordinary shops.

Therefore, Li Cha went straight to the middle of the street, the only three-story building. On the way, Li Cha slightly adjusted the special effect of the breath, so that it showed the fluctuation of the third-level wizard apprentice.

In an unfamiliar environment, showing your strength a little can avoid a lot of trouble.

Just as he was about to enter the door, a beautiful girl greeted her in the gorgeous lobby, about 20 years old, exuding the spiritual fluctuations of a first-level wizard apprentice.

Obviously, the other party noticed the young Richard immediately, not because of his handsomeness but because of his unfathomable aura. The girl immediately understood that the young man in front of her might be a big customer.

"My lord, Peter's Auction House welcomes you. Do you want to consign or buy?" The girl's clear voice sounded like an oriole.

"Buy."

The girl smiled and continued:

"My lord, please come with me to VIP Room No. to take a rest. Then, I will introduce you the treasures of our auction house in detail. By the way, my lord, do you have any requirements for the items you want to buy?"

"Is there a better bow?"

Li Cha pondered for a while, and said again: "If there is a good knight's long sword or half-handed sword, I will also have one."

Hearing Li Cha's words, the girl's face brightened, and she hurriedly said, "My lord, you are very lucky. Yesterday, someone sold it to our auction house, a high-level witchcraft prop-level longbow.

Moreover, our auction house also has two longbows that are mid-level witchcraft props. If your time allows, there will be a small auction in three days."

Li Cha immediately frowned, stopped, and asked, "Can't the items in your auction house be sold in advance?"

"Well, it's not impossible, it's just that you can buy it directly after a 50% increase from the reserve price of the auction. In this case, the price may be lower," the girl explained in embarrassment.

In her opinion, this business may be on the verge of failure again. After all, a 50% increase is really not something ordinary people can afford.

"The magic stone shouldn't be a big problem, as long as it's good enough." Li Cha breathed a sigh of relief, so he waved his hand, interrupting the girl's answer.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Cha to delay here for three days because of buying a longbow.

Moreover, at the auction, there may be someone competing with him, so if he can buy it directly, it may not cost more magic stones.

"Okay, my lord, you can rest for a while. This is honey tea, which has the effect of calming the mind and relieving fatigue. I'm going to get the longbow now." The girl turned and walked out of the room happily.

Li Cha didn't touch the honey tea.

After a while, the girl brought three longbows.

The first thing that caught Li Cha's attention was a pure white longbow with a hint of cold air. It seemed to be made of the spine of some kind of sea creature. Circles of polished joints could be clearly seen on the bow. .

"My lord, it is said that this longbow is a weapon from the Naga, a rare intelligent creature of the sea tribe. Since it was transported from the distant Vetloor Continental Business Alliance, the price will be relatively high."

When the girl saw Li Cha's gaze, she first noticed the white longbow, so she hurriedly introduced it.

"[Naga Heart Piercer] Advanced witchcraft prop-level longbow, with zero-level witchcraft ice arrows solidified. Three special ice arrows condensed from ice can be used every day. It needs to be charged for 24 hours after use. Use again.

The basic price is 780 magic stones, if you want to buy directly, you need to pay 1170 magic stones. "

Ice arrow?Li Cha's eyes lit up when he heard it, and said: "Three times a day, what is the attack power of the ice arrow, is it comparable to the ice arrow technique?"

The girl was suddenly embarrassed: "My lord, how is this possible, if you can use the ice arrow technique three times a day, then this [Naga Heart Piercer] is at least a top-level witchcraft item.

After the actual measurement by our appraiser, the condensed ice arrow, when shot with a longbow, its power is about half of the power of the zero-level witchcraft ice arrow. "

This immediately made Li Cha frowned. This power is still too weak.
