Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

The boss macaque quickly threw the scroll away as if he was scared.

Zhao Xun caught it quickly with quick eyes and hands.

After the scroll was released, the macaque boss's expression softened a lot, and he didn't look as painful as before.

Zhao Xun saw that this matter could not be solved in a minute or two, so he summoned the orangutan to guard the door of the stone room, just in case the Frog Prince suddenly appeared.

He did not forget that this place belonged to the frog barrier, and the frog prince could enter and exit it.

After completing the guarding work, Zhao Xun looked at the macaque boss again and asked: "What's wrong? Have a headache?"

The boss macaque put down the hand covering his head. He stared at the scroll in Zhao Xun's hand with some surprise: "When I was about to tear open the paper, I felt something stuck a needle in my brain." Then I felt dizzy and my head hurt even more."

"Even if you let go of the sealing paper, but you still hold the scroll in your hand, the situation will not improve?" Zhao Xun asked.

"Yeah." The macaque boss rubbed his head again, looking frightened.

Zhao Xun looked at the scroll in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Looking at what the macaque boss was doing just now, he only lasted two seconds and then withdrew his hand, but the pain did not lessen.

It wasn't until it threw away the scroll that it gradually got better.

But when he first picked up the scroll, it didn't feel any pain, and Zhao Xun, who was holding the scroll now, didn't feel any discomfort either.

Therefore, the scroll will have an attack response only after touching the seal on the scroll.

But once an attack reaction occurs, it can only be stopped by throwing away the scroll.

I just don’t know if it will return to normal when I pick it up again, or if it will still have an attack reaction.

Zhao Xun handed the scroll to the macaque boss: "Pick it up and try again."

The macaque boss shrank and avoided the scroll with some fear.

Apparently, the discomfort in his head was severe enough for him that he didn't want to try it again.

Zhao Xun increased the control of his mental power, and the macaque boss's expression instantly became blank, and then he obediently took the scroll again.

Nothing happened.

It seems that the attack reaction of the scroll is not always there.

After confirming this, Zhao Xun carefully asked the macaque boss how he felt at that time.

As a macaque, he grew up in deep mountains and old forests. He had zero communication with humans before, so the boss macaque didn't have much vocabulary.

Fortunately, Zhao Xun has the [Primate Blessing] and can directly understand the monkey language of the macaque boss. After some descriptions and gestures, he almost understood the situation.

According to the explanation of the macaque boss, the initial sting should be a warning. If you let go immediately, there will be no subsequent problems.

But if you insist on tearing off the seal, you will get dizzy.

After the dizziness reaches a certain level, you will have a headache, which is much more painful than the initial "warning".

This seems to be somewhat similar to the effect of mental powers, which attack the brain or cranial nerves.

How it feels specifically, we can only wait until Zhao Xun tries it himself.

Zhao Xun did not expect the macaque boss to be able to break the seal.

There are also spiritual attacks on the scroll, which will cause his and the spiritual attacks of the scroll to have an effect on the macaque boss at the same time.

It doesn't matter who between him and Scroll can gain the upper hand in Boss Macaque's mind. What's important is that it's easy to destroy Boss Macaque's mind.

He also had to rely on the macaque boss to be the translator - no matter what was in the scroll, as long as there were words, it would definitely be the same as the words on the stone tablet.

But we can't kill or make stupid the boss macaque who can understand the text.

After all, he wasn't sure if other macaques could understand the words.

If only the eldest among the macaques could understand it, it would be very troublesome if it died.

Therefore, after asking about the situation, Zhao Xun sat down cross-legged and prepared to open the seal himself.

Just like what the macaque boss said, as soon as his fingers touched the corner of the paper with the magic circle drawn on it, he felt a stabbing pain in his mind.

But it was not the same as the extreme pain shown by the macaque boss, and Zhao Xun felt that he could bear it.

He speculated that this might have something to do with his own spiritual abilities.

In addition, his mental power is not weak among players, and is naturally much stronger than a macaque.

What was an unbearable mental attack for the macaque boss was only moderately harmful to Zhao Xun.

This thought flashed through Zhao Xun's mind, but the movement in his hand did not stop, and he peeled off a corner of the paper.

As the corner was slightly raised, Zhao Xun suddenly felt the loss of mental power.

He understood instantly.

The "dizziness" symptom of the macaque boss is not caused by a mental attack, but a sign of weakness after the mental power is absorbed.

It's just that the macaque boss has never had such an experience, so it's difficult to describe it accurately.

After understanding this, Zhao Xun sped up the speed of tearing the seal.

Obviously, the reason why the macaque boss felt a splitting headache in the back was entirely because his mental power was drained away.

The macaque boss's mental strength was not strong and he was sucked dry quickly, which is why he felt the intense pain so quickly.

Zhao Xun can still hold on for a while, but the longer it takes, the worse it will be for him.

But this seal was obviously not ordinary paper, and Zhao Xun had to tear it apart very hard.

It was as if there was a huge suction force that made the seal paper firmly adhere to the scroll.

After finally tearing off one-fifth of the corner, Zhao Xun tried to use [Fire Control] to burn a small section of the sealing paper.

Perhaps after the seal is destroyed, the effect of the magic circle will also be weakened.

But he soon discovered that it didn't work.

On the one hand, the magic circle on the seal paper seems to not only absorb spiritual power, but also protect the seal paper from being destroyed.

Fire cannot burn the sealing paper at all.

On the other hand, when he uses special abilities, his mental power is absorbed faster.

If the initial amount of his spiritual power absorbed by the seal was 1 unit per second, then it is now 3 units per second.

In addition, using special abilities itself will also consume part of your mental energy.

This suddenly made his situation very bad.

Zhao Xun reacted quickly, no longer using special abilities, and only used his own strength to tear the seal.

When he felt that half of his special ability was used up, two-thirds of the seal was finally opened.

He held the scroll firmly with one hand, and tightly held the torn part of the seal paper with the other hand, tearing it with all his strength.

Feeling his spiritual power disappearing continuously, the sealing paper was finally completely torn apart.

Zhao Xun dropped the seal on the ground, and then immediately threw a small fireball towards the seal.

This time, the seal paper was burned smoothly.

Soon the sealing paper turned into ashes.

It seems that the magic circle on the scroll will only work when the seal paper is attached to it.

After it is torn, it is no different from ordinary paper.

Zhao Xun looked up at Crow: "Clean up these ashes."

He couldn't let the Frog Prince find something strange here.

Since this scroll was sealed and hidden inside the stone slab, it couldn't be the Frog Prince's.

But maybe that's what the Frog Prince wants.

Once the Frog Prince discovers that there are traces of burning here, he will inevitably doubt what he has found here.

He won't reveal such obvious vulnerabilities.

Zhao Xun could have used Samadhi True Fire to burn all the ashes, leaving no powder at all.

But he has lost too much mental energy now and is in a bad state. He doesn't want to waste too much mental energy on this kind of thing.

Anyway, there are followers that can be used, so if you don’t use them, you won’t use them in vain.

The crow walked over obediently and took all the ashes into its stomach.

Zhao Xun wiped the thin sweat from his forehead, rubbed his temples with one hand, and took out a meat bun and ate it in two or three bites.

He should only have one-third of his remaining mental power.

Just opening the seal of the scroll took so much effort. Although it was not as painful as the macaque boss, he still felt a little pain in his head.

He needed to slow down.

Zhao Xun ate another meat bun and drank half a bottle of water, finally feeling that his condition had eased a bit.

Only then did he open the scroll.

Under the illumination of a strong flashlight, he could clearly see that the scroll was filled with words he couldn't understand.

"You translate." Zhao Xun handed the scroll to the macaque boss.

The boss of the macaque was very familiar with it. He took the scroll naturally and recited all the words in the scroll while reading it.

It turns out that what is written in this scroll is the life of the Frog Prince.

The Frog Prince was an orphan when he was young and was picked up and raised.

As he grew older, his adoptive parents gradually discovered that he was inherently evil and tried to wash away the evil part of him.

He felt oppressed and extremely disgusted, so he found an opportunity to escape from his adoptive parents.

Later, he was picked up by a dark magician and taught magic.

It turned out that he was extremely talented in magic.

His master was not a good magician to begin with, and it inspired the evil part of him.

The purpose of his master raising him was just to do some magic experiments. He suffered a lot and finally killed his master with his own hands.

But he inherited the mantle of his master and also enjoyed conducting magical experiments.

It's just that he never accepts disciples, but randomly grabs people on the road as experimental subjects. If the experiment dies, he will catch new ones.

Because of this, he became the most wanted man in the wizarding world.

The Frog Prince is a fire magician and can use all fire magic.

At the same time, through years of experiments, he gained the ability to resist mental power and a longer lifespan.

His strength is among the top among magicians who also use fire magic.

Even a water magician who can restrain fire magic would find it difficult to completely restrain him.

His fire can even evaporate the water of most water magicians.

Coupled with his own ability to resist mental power, some of the magicians' magic that can perform mental control and mental guidance will be difficult to work on him.

All this makes him a very difficult person.

The only weakness of the Frog Prince is that his body is the same as that of ordinary people, and his physical ability and physique are not as good as those of a swordsman.

As a magician, he is very bad at close combat.

If you could get close to him and hit his vitals, he would definitely die.

But so far, no one has been able to get close to him.

Because of this, in the final battle, several top magicians tried their best, but they could only seal him, but could not kill him.

After Zhao Xun heard this, he touched his chin.

Have the mental strength to resist...

Then he made a bold guess. After those magicians turned the Frog Prince into a frog, the [invalidation] ability was probably extracted from the Frog Prince himself.

However, the Frog Prince's own [nullification] will certainly not restrain himself.

It must be that other magicians did some tricks in it, causing this ability to restrain the Frog Prince in reverse, and finally successfully restrained him.

He couldn't hurt others, nor could he lift the seal on himself. He could only be trapped in this valley and be an ordinary frog.

The trouble is that Zhao Xun's mental control may not be effective against the Frog Prince.

Even if it works, the effect will be much weaker.

It is not feasible to directly hypnotize the Frog Prince to capture him and kill him easily.

He had to find another way.

Currently, there are two most intuitive ways.

One is based on the characteristics of fire magicians, using water-based supernatural attacks.

Zhao Xun's water power is different from other magicians. The water that can extinguish the true fire of samadhi should not be so easily burned out by the fire of a fire magician.

Secondly, there is the close attack.

How to do it specifically depends on the situation at that time.

Zhao Xun burned the scroll and let the crows eat up the remaining ashes.

Then he closed the slate again.

He felt relieved when he saw that after the stone slab was closed, the sides were completely closed, with no cracks even visible, as if it was a complete stone slab.

While he asked the crow and the boss macaque to leave with him, he put the orangutan back into the small stone mill.

After leaving the frog barrier, Zhao Xun signaled the macaque boss to go back by himself, and he turned into a bat and flew back to the mountainside with the crow.

This time, no crow stopped him, and he easily entered the wintersweet forest.

He changed back to his human form, took out the glass bottle given by the Frog Prince, and began to collect the dew on the wintersweet flowers.

The temperature in the mountains is much lower than in the valleys, and it is also drier. There is less dew that can be formed, making it very difficult to collect.

After working hard until daylight, Zhao Xun only collected half of the bottles.

Unexpectedly, among the three items that need to be collected, the most difficult thing is not the fireflies that can move freely, nor the luminous stones that need to be found in the haystack, but the wintersweet dew.

At this time, the sky was completely bright. If you wanted to perform the ceremony, you would have to wait until the sunrise on the 27th at the earliest.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun simply took out his sleeping bag and prepared to take a nap in the wintersweet forest to recuperate his energy.

After dawn, there is less dew, and the remaining half bottles have to wait until evening to collect.

It just so happened that he had consumed too much mental energy this time and should take a rest. Otherwise, when the seal of the Frog Prince was lifted and he lacked mental energy, he would be at a disadvantage.

For safety reasons, he summoned the orangutans and baboons to guard his sides, then got into his sleeping bag and lay down to rest. (End of chapter)
