After listening to the analysis of the poet, Qiao An was deeply inspired and had a deeper understanding of the word "sense of ritual" and decided to discuss it with Holden.

"I think there is only one truly memorable holiday in a person's life, that is the day of death. This is used as a dividing line, and they are in two completely different forms of existence. This is the only truly special day in a person's life. ."

"From a social perspective, however, everyone’s death dates are randomly distributed, and it is impossible to define a certain day of the year as the'death anniversary' of the whole society."

"From a personal point of view, even if relatives and friends hold a grand funeral for the deceased, the deceased has no way of knowing that the so-called sense of ritual in a funeral is meaningless to the deceased. The deceased is just a tool for others to seek a sense of ritual at his funeral. ."

"Uh...it's sad to think so." Holden wiped his cold sweat.

Qiao An also wanted to discuss this topic with Holden in depth. Unfortunately, Mr. Poet slipped away on the pretext of going to the toilet.

What's the matter, old iron?

Looking at the back of Holden running hurriedly, Qiao An scratched his head and thought: "Why don't I... just talk about Tian'er again?"

As a frightening "chat ghost", Qiao Ann was somewhat self-aware, and felt that he had better not radiate negative energy on this festive day, so he got off the boat alone.

He took a short walk on the beach, sorted out his thoughts on scientific research topics, and decided to find a secluded place to conduct two sets of magic experiments.

During the two weeks of expedition to Galti Island, Qiao An marked the more special places on the island on the "navigation compass", one of which was located at the southern foot of the central volcano, which was suitable as a test site.

The stream from the lake at the top of the mountain winds along the ridge. At the foot of the mountain, there is a relic of a camp that is almost completely covered by shrubs. It should be a place where foreign explorers once resided.

Qiao An directly sent the spell to the abandoned camp by the stream. After a short dizziness, the sound of the gurgling water flowing in the clear stream came from his ears.

Qiao An remembers that there are many low wild sugarcanes growing near the camp. When I visited the camp last time, I wanted to chop a few roots and try it. Unfortunately, the wild sugarcane are still seedlings about a foot high, and they tasteless. It will take at least two more months to accumulate enough sugar.

He came here specially, not all for the wild sugarcane bushes. The bushes in the abandoned camps seem ordinary, but they are actually mixed with a lot of supernatural plants. They are the kind of "killer vines" seen in the Great Jungle of Yalf two years ago-these ferocious carnivorous plants have been affected by "flowers". "Madam" Alona drove her to become an enemy of the fairy lady Liyanan.

Qiao An turned to face the abandoned camp covered by vines, and drew 3 "Sid Mana" and made a spell-casting gesture.

"Ambar!"

Sing a spell symbolizing destruction, using the point where Qiao An pointed away as the origin, the distribution of the magic net is turbulent, and a strong negative energy is extracted, which quickly expands to a hundred feet around. The vegetation within this range is cursed and visible to the human eye. The speed withered and faded.

After just a minute, the abandoned camp, which had lost its vegetation cover, was completely exposed in front of Qiao An, and broken bones were scattered under the decaying tent.

In this large patch of dead branches and fallen leaves, there are more than a dozen shrubs that still have lush branches and leaves. On the curly thorny vines are clusters of black and reddish fruits, which at first glance looks a bit like ripe vinegar. chestnut.

The vegetation within a hundred feet of radius withered under the devastation of magic, but these plants were unaffected, seeming strange, but completely in line with Qiao An's expectation.

Experiments have shown that the original version of "Plant Withering" can only kill ordinary plants, and has no observable negative effects on supernatural plants such as "killer vine".

Qiao An recorded this conclusion in the experiment logbook.

Although the "killer vines" scattered in the abandoned camps have an intelligence attribute of less than 1 point, they also have the instinct to survive. They feel that the surrounding plants are withering and withering, causing themselves to lose their camouflage, and the negative energy concentration of the habitat is abnormally increased. There are signs that they are under threat.

The "killer vines" were in a commotion. With their "blind vision" talent, they sensed the aura of human beings.

While studying new spells these days, Qiao An took the time to improve "Plant Withering", borrowing from "Dissociation", and integrating the No. 13 Rune "Eoh" into the spell configuration.

The improved version of "Plant Withering" can theoretically cause a certain degree of damage to supernatural plants, but Qiao An is not eager to test this spell, otherwise he will kill all the "killer vines" at once, and there will be no chance to test another. The 6th-level spell that works on plants is now.

The "Killer Vine" moved very slowly, and Qiao Ann kept a certain distance from them, and retreated to the stream without hurriedly, until there was a stream behind him, and there was nowhere to go, before he began to chant the spellcasting spell.

"Auta!"

Qiao An raised his finger to the nearest "killer vine", and the golden magic power turned into a cone-shaped shock wave and swept over.

More than a dozen "killer vines" gathered in front of him seemed to have been uprooted by the tide, and with the splashing mud, they rolled and flew out 60 feet away.

Qiao An slowly lowered his arm, picked up the pen, and made a note in the experiment log:

The 6th-level spell "Remove Wood" is not only effective on processed wood products, but also repels supernatural plants.

Yesterday afternoon, Qiao An cast a spell to activate a stone statue and used it as an experimental subject to test an improved version of the "Destruction Ray" that incorporates the No. 13 Rune Eoh.

The original "Destruction Ray" can cause up to 15 levels of damage to the construct, which meets the magic power standard of a 4-level spell, while the improved version of the "Destruction Ray", as Qiao An expected, only adds a Lu En rune, the damage caused to the "living fossil statue" of the experimental body doubled, reaching 30 energy levels!

This experimental result shows that "dissociation" is not a special case, and other spells with "destruction" attributes can also be enhanced by Eoh runes.

So, can we conclude that the strengthening effect of the Eoh rune is as high as 100% based on the two examples of "dissociation technique" and "destructive ray"?

Things are not that simple.

Too few experimental samples is a problem. Another more serious problem is that there are spells such as "plant decay", which also have the attribute of "destruction", which can quickly wipe out a large area of ​​vegetation, or curse a wider area of ​​crops to reduce production in the coming year. Can't hurt supernatural plants.

After "Withering Plants" merged with the Eoh rune, it theoretically doubled the damage to ordinary plants, but what about supernatural plants?
