Chapter 579: Explorer Roulette of the Sea of ​​Storms, Zong Mou was shocked!

This advanced book comes at just the right time.

It made Zong Shen feel happy.

The so-called icing on the cake is just that.

He happily put away the advancement book, and the next item he took out was a large magic disk.

There are currently two known magic disks.

They are a palm-sized single magic plate and a washbasin-sized large magic plate.

Both use magic values ​​or magic crystals for energy.

Some small magic disks can only be used once, and the magic patterns will be damaged after the reserved magic power is exhausted, while some can be used repeatedly.

For example, Zong Shen's [Hot Shield] magic disk is a small, reusable magic disk.

Large magic disks are often not suitable for carrying around because it takes time to start and stop its functions and consumes a lot of money.

The first large magic disk Zong Shen obtained came from the abandoned dragon nest on the island in the middle of the lake.

At that time, it also bought him and Jiang Yi a lot of time to eliminate the water element on the island.

It's that [Mobile Magical Energy Array (Broken)]!

This is a standard large magic disk.

It's just broken.

In terms of energy supply, it requires the use of magic crystals for charging.

Such a large magic disk can be activated for a long time, as long as it can supply energy stably.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen looked at the magic plate in his hand more eagerly.

The magic disk in his hand is completely bronze.

There are complex magic patterns on the surface, forming silver mithril passages. The edges are embedded with fine gold. Other materials are also used on the entire magic disk, but Zong Shen cannot distinguish it with the naked eye.

The disk is very thick, about twenty-five centimeters, and there is a square groove on the back. Based on his past experience, he can conclude that this groove is used to place magic crystals.

To put it simply, it is a charging port.

Even though this magic plate is only the size of a basin, it can weigh at least one or two hundred kilograms.

But to Zong Shen, this weight is nothing.

His current strength level can almost be measured in tons.

Moreover, the improvement of his attributes is uniform and smooth. He can perfectly control his own power without causing any trouble in his daily life.

In the center of the magic plate was a round transparent bead. Under the dim moonlight obscured by clouds, Zong Shen could even vaguely see his own reflection in the bead.

"There seems to be something!"

"Looking at the name, it seems like this thing can create illusions?"

"Let me take a look..."

Zong Shen whispered softly.

He grabbed the magic plate with both hands and lifted it up, staring at it seriously.

[Large Illusion Projection Magic Disk (Purple)]

[Quality: rare grade]

[Coverage: Radius 200 meters]

[Effect: Illusion projection (touch the fourth-order illusion bead in the middle of the magic disk, and import the illusion scene into the illusion bead through your thoughts. You can store up to five different illusion scenes. It takes 10 minutes to cool down when erasing the old scene and importing the new scene. , after selecting scene projection, you can build a light and shadow illusion, consuming 0.5 mana per minute]]

[Need to use magic crystal for charging]

[The light and shadow illusion takes 3 minutes to construct from activation to completion of projection]

[Magic energy: 05500]

[Durability: 500]

[Every time the accumulated mana consumption reaches 5500 points, the durability will be reduced by 5 points]

(The sustainable illusion magic disk can project light and shadow illusions for a long time. This illusion will be seen through the fourth-level eye of true seeing and detection magic, and is suitable for light and shadow camouflage)

Sure enough, the function of this magic is just like its name, it is used to create illusions.

And it can be activated for a long time.

It only consumes 0.5 mana per minute, which is 30 points per hour, and 720 points per day.

It can store 5,500 points of magic energy at a time, which is enough for continuous use for more than a week.

When charging, it takes three minutes for the light and shadow to disappear.

In addition, it can store five scenes at one time, and there is a ten-minute cooling time to import new scenes. Judging from its durability, it can be used continuously for nearly two years.

This feature is great for covering the entrance to a mine.

That was also one of Zong Shen's concerns.

As the challenge period comes to an end, the lords will definitely be exploring new areas.

By then, the chances of the mine being exposed will be greatly increased.

This [Large Illusion Magic Disk] can create false light and shadow to cover up the existence of the mine.

Of course, the problem in the mine cannot be solved with just a magic disk.

Whether it is the entry and exit of the loader mecha loading ore, or the delivery of supplies to the mine, there is a possibility of exposure.

Moreover, the illusion has no entity and does not work on the spiritual level. Some curious lords are likely to find clues.

Therefore, this magic disk can only be used as a supplementary means, a curtain to hide shame, but it is much better than nothing.

You can first use light and shadow illusions and increase the garrison to ensure that the mine is safe in the next one or two months.

In addition, with the increasing number of heroic talents in the territory, heroes can also be dispatched to use storage compartments to collect ores, which can also reduce the risk of exposure to a certain extent.

But to completely solve this problem, Zong Shen still needs to gradually expand his territory, establish a defense line outside the mine, and directly use actions to declare his sovereignty.

When Zong Shen saw this magic disk, he had a clear idea of ​​its purpose.

After putting away the magic disk, Zong Shen took out a bottle of potion.

It is also packaged in transparent glass, and the medicine appears gray, with a small amount of bubbles floating around.

Perhaps you can consider researching it with Senior Pharmacist Clarissa Theresa first.

Zong Shen grabbed the potion with one hand and shook it in front of his eyes. A detailed description of its attributes appeared on the side.

[Long-lasting Transformation Potion—Bird of Prey (Purple)]

[Quality: rare grade]

[Effect: After taking it, you can transform into a random type of large raptor with raptor characteristics. The transformation effect can be maintained for up to 24 hours after taking it all. The transformation time can be controlled by taking the dose]

[The medicine can remain effective for up to one month after being opened, so please finish taking it within one month]

(Long-lasting transformation potion can turn the user into a raptor, which may play an important role at certain times)

This is a special transformation potion that can last up to one day.

After taking it, you can transform into a large raptor with corresponding characteristics.

When Zong Shen mentioned birds of prey, the first thing that came to mind was their flying ability.

Air overlords such as Eagle Sauce and Flying Tiger can often fly at hundreds of kilometers per hour. When necessary, they can have such enhanced maneuverability after transforming into raptors.

"It's quite interesting."

"Let the pharmacist study it tomorrow."

Zong Shen glanced at the gray liquid, whispered to himself, and put away the transformation potion with his backhand, preparing to check out the next item.

I saw him taking out a small square wooden box with one hand.

This thing is only about the size of a palm and looks similar to a jewelry box.

There are only naturally occurring wood grains on the surface. Despite its ordinary appearance, this thing is actually a rare item.

[Talent Absorption Box (Purple)]

[Quality: rare grade]

[Effect: Talent extraction (can absorb the target's talent when it loses its ability to resist, can absorb magic talents and qualification talents not exceeding level 4, it takes ten minutes to absorb)

Talent transplantation (talents that can be absorbed are transferred and replaced. Targets whose talents exceed level 4 cannot be replaced. Transplantation takes 30 minutes)]

[Maximum storage quantity: 3]

[(Click to choose to absorb or transplant)]

(His gift, my Lamb, can be taken away from him, can be taken from him)

After reading its detailed properties, Zong Shen held the small box in one hand and suddenly raised his head to look at the living area to the east.

The butler Isido, whose limbs were shot off, happened to be gifted as a space mage.

You can use this [Talent Extraction Box] to strip away their talents and then transfer them to the right person.

It can be regarded as waste utilization.

That guy was a die-hard loyalist to Evans and had been captured in the territory for some time.

He doesn't want to talk, but he will eat the food he is given.

Every now and then, Howie would arrange for the farmer to take him to take a bath.

He still has some mobility in his hands. He can only do simple gripping movements and cannot make any large-scale movements. He is a useless person in the territory.

As a reward for absorbing his talent, Zong Shen decided to just raise him like this.

He was usually allowed to live with the farmers.

Providing an extra portion of food is not a big burden anyway.

In addition, there are several prisoners of the Jackdaw and Euphorbia warriors in the territory.

These guys have hard heads, unlike the jackdaw scout who gave in quickly.

The Jackdaw and Euphorbia warriors are much more steadfast in their faith.

Zong Shen sent people to inquire several times and they were still unwilling to serve Zong Shen, so now Zong Shen did not let them regain their freedom. Instead, he bought several sets of chains from the [market] and locked their hands and feet until they waited. I will send him to mine later.

According to Howie's report, these jackdaw and euphorbia warriors recited scriptures every night and seemed to be talking about them. Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to get their loyalty.

However, with the [Talent Extraction Box], these stubborn captives will be squeezed out of their last vestiges of value.

Take away their talents, replace them with those in need, and finally let them become coolies.

"It's a good thing!"

Zong Shen gave an evaluation in his heart.

Now the items found in the two treasure chests have been basically examined.

As for those items that were lower than rare quality, he could no longer see them. He just took a quick look at them and prepared to store them together for Mariel and the others to deal with them.

Right now, there is only one unknown item worth Zong Shen's eyes.

With a flick of his wrist, he took out a circular compass.

This compass is as big as a dinner plate, with twenty-four equal divisions carved out on its outer edge.

The full mithril shell is engraved with beautiful emblems and patterns.

The surface of the disk is polished with crystal, and the interior of the disk uses colorful oil paints to depict the coast under the starry sky.

There is a pointer in the middle, the thickness of a toothpick, but crystal clear and glowing with a faint red light.

Like it's made of ruby ​​or similar crystals.

In addition to its practical value, this compass is also an out-and-out handicraft.

It is definitely not something that a vulgar crew member can own. In all likelihood, it is something with a great background.

A compass functions similarly to a compass and is usually used to measure directions.

Zong Shen held the compass, turned around and walked a few steps, and the pointer immediately began to rotate.

Soon it stopped at a certain range.

He looked in the direction of the pointer and found that the place it pointed to was exactly where the teleportation light door opened by the [Dimension Recruitment Contract] was located.

"Could it be that this compass guides not the magnetic field, but the magic power?"

"Or is it space fluctuation?"

Zong Shen murmured and analyzed.

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and stared at the compass, hoping to get more clues through system information.

[Explorer's Compass of the Storm Sea (Unknown)]

[Quality: unknown]

[Effect: unknown]

[The compass used by Storm Kris, the chief female explorer of the Sea of ​​Storms]

(The Sea of ​​Storms is located in the southeastern waters of the mainland, 1,729 nautical miles offshore. It is a storm zone, with storms and thunder falling all year round. The Sea of ​​Storms is one of the natural barriers from the eastern part of the mainland to the southeastern sea.

The chief explorer Storm Kris once went deep into the Sea of ​​Storms and found the secret of crossing the Sea of ​​Storms. As the most famous explorer ever, she opened up a large number of unknown routes and was a partner of major merchant alliances along the coast. As a result, he accumulated a lot of wealth and nautical maps, and knew many underwater ruins.

The treasure she left behind is hidden on the most mysterious Shadow Island in the Storm Sea. This compass may be a "signpost" and clue she left behind)

Looking at this compass, Zong Shen remembered another unknown item [Mysterious Broken Horn (Unknown)] that he obtained a long time ago.

One is the East China Sea, which is the southeastern sea area of ​​a continent.

What they have in common is the natural isolation zone spanning the East China Sea to the southeastern sea, the Sea of ​​Storms.

"It seems that in addition to the mainland, there is also something famous in the ocean!"

Zong Shen lowered his head and thought to himself.

The great city of Lentax is not far from the coast.

Continue heading east, and after crossing the jurisdiction of two giant cities, you can reach the seaside.

Due to the location, it may not be possible to open up an ocean exploration route in a short time.

After all, the current territory has not even reached the state level.

Even if Zong Shen plans to take the initiative to go out, he must at least wait until his territory becomes a state-level city, and both internal affairs development and military strength have been raised to a stable level before he can consider exploring distant areas.

This compass can only be stored first.

After getting ready, Zong Shen went to the storage box and put the compass and the broken horn together.

He had just put away the compass, and the transmission light gate of the [Dimension Recruitment Contract] ahead was finally completely completed.

The diameter of the entire light gate is ten meters.

However, a large circle on the outside is in a solid solid state, as if to resist the bridging of space.

There is still about two meters in diameter of the inner ring, which is swaying like water ripples.

At this time, the dark red light beam shining directly into the clouds suddenly disappeared.

A large dark cocoon slowly appeared from under the teleportation light door.

The texture of this big cocoon is strange, it doesn't look like it's made of light, shadow and magic.

There are also corrugated air duct-like things on the surface.

The overall material looks like a piece of matte cast iron.

Zong Shen couldn't help but open his eyes, feeling excited about the unknown.

After about another minute, the big black cocoon finally landed smoothly on the ground.

The teleportation light gate above his head immediately collapsed and turned into white stars all over the sky until they disappeared.

The big black cocoon seemed to be very heavy, pressing an obvious depression into the dirt ground.

After confirming that the recruitment from another dimension had ended, Zong Shen strode forward and walked to the cocoon.

The swirling clouds dissipated, and the bright white moonlight shone again.

After walking in, Zong Shen discovered more unique features of this large cocoon.

The shape of the large cocoon is like an oval spear.

Upon closer inspection, the surface is not flat and has an obvious tooth-like riveting structure.

It looks a bit like a mechanical product, and a bit like the carapace of some kind of insect.

Just as Zong Shen was preparing for further research, something strange happened in the cocoon.

"Pfft!"

Six exhaust holes appeared on both sides, spraying out streams of air.

Zong Shen reacted quickly and took a few steps back.

Watching these jets of air condense instantly in the air, the surrounding temperature quickly dropped several degrees.

This made him frown.

"Why does it look like the behavior of liquid nitrogen when it vaporizes..."

With a thought in his mind, he locked the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword] in the storage compartment and was ready to fight at any time.

Although the recruitment of the lord system has never turned over, but as the saying goes, careful sailing can lead to a thousand years of sailing.

Always be cautious when facing unexpected situations.

The jets lasted for more than ten seconds.

The surrounding temperature dropped several degrees directly.

At this time, there was new movement in the cocoon.

"Crack!"

"Pfft!"

The front half actually opened like a lid.

There was also a sound of hydraulic power assist.

After the hatch cover was opened, white smoke suddenly filled the interior.

Zong Shen waited silently, but no one came out.

It wasn't until half a minute later that the white smoke dissipated, and Zong Shen finally saw the clues inside.

This big cocoon is basically a special space capsule.

A tall warrior stood in the cabin.

It was wearing a metal battle armor and a strange full-face battle helmet.

There are also thick dreadlocks on the back of his head.

These dreadlocks look like hair at first glance, but look like metal pipes at closer inspection.

"Predator…?"

The moment Zong Shen saw this guy, his brain buzzed.

When he came to his senses, he whispered a name.

This warrior recruited from another world turned out to be the "famous" iron-blooded warrior on Earth!

"Gudong..."

Zong Shen felt his mouth was dry and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

This so-called different dimension was really beyond his knowledge!

Moreover, the Predator in front of him is not in a "streaking" state, but in a fully armed hunter state. In addition to being good at fighting, if Zong Shen remembers correctly, they also have hot weapons!

As a fighting race that can press aliens to the ground and rub them.

Each of the Predators has powerful fighting skills!
