#2636 - Control
"Quagmire Trap!"
Instantly, the rock and soil beneath the crystallized stone giant surged, rapidly coalescing into a massive quagmire!
Due to the crystallized stone giant's immense size and weight, its legs immediately sank into the mire. With great effort, it lifted its feet from the mud, struggling to move forward.
Fang Heng once again summoned the book before him.
Book of Nature!
Wild Growth!
"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!!"
Urged by his mental power, the Book of Nature emitted a faint cyan light.
Immediately, new branches and vines rapidly spread from within the thick mire!
The vines quickly snaked up the crystallized stone giant's legs and towards its upper body.
The crystallized stone giant tried to take another step, only to find its feet not only trapped by the heavy mud but also tightly entwined by numerous vines.
"Snap!!"
With a burst of strength, the crystallized stone giant directly snapped the vines!
A hint of gravity appeared in Fang Heng's eyes.
He couldn't even control it?
Whoosh!!
Fang Heng switched to the Book of the Dead once more.
Wails of the Departed!
Accompanied by the wails of the dead, gray arms reached out from the mire, grasping at the crystallized stone giant's feet, trying to drag it into the mud.
The crystallized stone giant slowed even further, each step like a slow-motion action, yet it still struggled to break free from the undead's grasp and continued to move forward.
Troublesome!
Fang Heng stared at the crystallized stone giant.
Even with three different types of control spells applied simultaneously, he still couldn't completely trap it.
At least its speed had been greatly reduced, and it was trapped in the mire for a short time.
So, next...
Behind Fang Heng, the Licker horde summoned during the last trial rapidly gathered, forming cocoons on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, vine-form zombie clones crawled out of the cocoons.
The vine-form zombie clones slowly gathered towards the edge of the mire, extending dense vines from their bodies, quickly spreading towards the crystallized stone giant, attempting to tightly bind and immobilize it.
The vines extending from the bodies of over two hundred zombie clones directly and firmly bound the crystallized stone giant.
"That's about it!"
Watching the crystallized stone giant finally trapped in place, unable to move, Fang Heng breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retreated a few steps.
Next, he could slowly try various methods to seal it.
The crystallized stone giant's level wasn't low.
Forget it, he'd make high-level ones.
Although the level was lower than master-level, and the relative sealing success rate would be lower, the crafting difficulty was more than one level lower, and the crafting efficiency was high, allowing for mass production.
Anyway, he had zombie clones!
He'd just use the number of zombie clones to gamble on the success rate!
This level had no time limit anyway.
He'd just grind it slowly.
He'd treat it as grinding sealing skill experience.
After a brief weighing of options, Fang Heng urgently mobilized a batch of zombie clones to commit suicide, then turned and walked back to the crafting table at the edge of the trial cave, starting to create high-level rune paper.
Inside the examination hall, a group of sealing scholars looked at each other, their eyes revealing different expressions.
Good heavens!
Fang Heng had once again exceeded their expectations!
He had switched between several academic abilities, and with the superposition of multiple effects, he had actually managed to completely trap the crystallized stone giant!
In the past, to successfully pass this level, one had to complete the sealing while enduring the crystallized stone giant's attacks and various interferences.
It required one's own strength and sealing ability to complement each other.
Not to mention ordinary players, even many of them couldn't complete this trial, making the trial extremely difficult.
Fang Heng had now successfully trapped the crystallized stone giant, which was a huge advantage.
The sealing difficulty was greatly reduced.
But even so, it was still very difficult to seal the crystallized stone giant.
Moreover...
A group of examiners saw Fang Heng's next operation, and their faces showed solemn expressions.
Huh?
The examiners looked at each other, seeing the doubts in each other's eyes.
Something was not quite right.
What did Fang Heng mean by this operation?
Hadn't he already advanced to master-level alchemy?
Why did he insist on making high-level sealing rune paper?
Very strange.
Looking at Fang Heng's appearance, he didn't seem to want to give up.
Was he doing this on purpose?
Did he have any other special methods?
The crowd looked puzzled, and they all turned their attention to Mo Jianghe.
Mo Jianghe didn't know what Fang Heng was up to, and he was also muttering in his heart, wondering what kind of trick this kid was playing again?
But on the surface, Mo Jianghe naturally wouldn't say anything. He puffed up his face to look imposing, coughed lightly, and made a knowing look, saying: "Ahem, don't worry, wait a little longer, you'll know when the time comes. Come, come, it's time for dinner, let's eat and chat..."
Seeing that Mo Jianghe was unwilling to explain, the examiners felt even more itchy in their hearts, and they didn't enjoy their breakfast very much.
"Look!"
Nearly three hours later, an examiner noticed something and stared intently at the mirrored projection.
The examiners saw that Fang Heng had finally stopped making rune paper, and they couldn't help but cheer up and look at Fang Heng in the examination projection.
What is that!?
They saw that magic arrays suddenly appeared around Fang Heng's feet!
Huh!?
Summoned creatures!?
Zombie creatures crawled out of the magic arrays one by one, then lined up and walked past Fang Heng, taking a stack of sealing paper from Fang Heng as they passed.
The examiners looked solemn, staring at the monitoring mirror, and a premonition had already appeared in their hearts.
No way?
They seemed to have foreseen what was about to happen, and their eyes were filled with surprise.
They saw the zombies holding the rune paper, swaying and walking to the crystallized stone giant that was firmly trapped by vines and mire.
Sealing technique!
"Pa!"
The rune paper was flicked open and shattered.
Sealing failed!
[Hint: Your zombie clone (vine form) attempted to seal the crystallized stone giant, sealing failed...].
[Hint: The player has gained +6263 grandmaster-level sealing experience].
Fang Heng looked at the game prompt that appeared on his retina, and his face immediately showed surprise.
So much experience?
In the Death Realm, even if he was lucky enough to seal a Nether Golem, he wouldn't get that much experience!
Was it because the crystallized stone giant's level was high? Or was its sealing resistance high?
He didn't expect to encounter such a good thing.
Continue!
Again!
"Pa!"
Sealing failed!
In just a few minutes, dense zombie clones gathered around the trapped crystallized stone giant!
