Sanwu's special characteristic is that his mental endurance is naturally superior to that of many others.
When an ordinary person releases their mental energy, it dissipates in less than three seconds.
Even if it forms a special structure and combines with the corresponding elements, the mental energy within it will lose control in about half a minute.
Therefore, many spells require a continuous infusion of mental energy to maintain the activity of the mental energy structure in order to sustain them.
Unlike Sanwu, even when his spiritual power is outside the body, its activity decays much more slowly.
Therefore, he can maintain many continuous spells by injecting mental energy every few minutes.
In this situation, the battery life of the 35 is very strong.
Therefore, he focused more on the stability and power of his spells.
It can manipulate elements to the maximum extent, maintaining the power of the spell while preventing it from being disrupted by external interference.
Otherwise, the spell will be disrupted, and without the support of the elements, his mental strength will be useless no matter how long he persists.
The carriage sped along and soon arrived outside Qiquan City.
Not far from the suburbs, there is a road leading to Sanli Town, an ordinary town in the surrounding area.
All that remained was a pile of blood and flesh, and many marks of being forcibly dragged.
According to previous information, a caravan encountered a flesh monster on this road after completing its purchases in Qiquan City.
The caravan's guards were no match for the flesh-and-blood monsters.
Fortunately, this time the caravan included a priest and a paladin who were on a business trip from Qiquan City to Sanli Town.
That's why this emergency request for help came about.
Originally, the fastest thing to arrive should have been the gold seeds.
Unfortunately, there are no gold mines available right now.
Gotthard went out to handle a case of a paladin's murder in a town. The paladin's wife had been stolen by a local nobleman, so he went to the nobleman's house to kill him.
In short, some trouble was caused, but the person involved has already moved on and is now quite far away.
Guilliman was also absent, and a demonic disturbance occurred on the other side.
A full-fledged demon has appeared in a small village.
They sacrificed many villagers in an attempt to carry out a major plan.
"It's obvious that this was done intentionally."
"By diverting the main fighting force, I, as the person directly in charge, had no choice but to come here."
"Are you targeting me?"
"Or should we take this opportunity to attack Qiquan City?"
Chapter 330 First Battle (Bonus Chapter 10/11)
"They probably aren't heading towards Airfoil City," Nemus concluded after a moment's thought.
time is too short.
The church in Qiquan City has a foundation and strength that Baiwei Town cannot match.
Because Kiquan City is involved in some key aspects of the Azure Whale, its standing forces are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Even if both golden seed individuals leave, there are still golden seed pastors in the church who don't usually go out.
In addition, the church must have various other means, which are bound to reach the gold level.
Under normal circumstances, two or three gold-tier monsters attacking Qiquan City can be stopped by Qiquan City's 'foundation'.
In this situation, goldfish that have gone out can return in just a few hours.
If all else fails, there is a teleportation array that can summon nearby floating whales for help, or even teleport other golden beings or saints to assist.
Therefore, it's just that the two golden seeds are temporarily away, and even if outsiders want to cause trouble, the time is too short.
"So it was a test, and I was the one who was targeted?" Nemus realized that he had become the target.
He, this half-saint, half-legendary being, is far too much of an eyesore.
Currently, people's assessment of his abilities is vague.
After Nemus merged into three, he killed Rhine, who had just been promoted to the Gold Saint.
At this point, Nemus's strength should be considered Gold-level, but most Gold-level beings believed they wouldn't lose to Nemus at that time.
First of all, Rhine, being a Gold Saint, has only recently been promoted, so his combat abilities can only be roughly estimated.
Furthermore, the Golden Seed still needs several years to adapt, not just because of the numerical value. The Truth Perspective of the Golden Key is a trait that requires time to slowly develop before its unique characteristics can be revealed.
Rhine's understanding of various characteristics and the methods of the Gold Saints is not yet complete. Even if he has good talent, he can still be considered a summoner. Most veteran Gold Saints would not rate him highly, believing that Rhine's combat strength is only that of a standard novice Gold Saint.
Therefore, Nemus's ability to defeat and kill Rhine can be considered as Nemus's short-term burst power reaching the normal Gold level.
The situation is similar for the Holy Son; his sainthood might reach the level of a veteran Gold Saint.
However... battles at the Gold level are not so easy to determine a winner.
Whether it's Nemus's three-in-one transformation or the sainthood of the Holy Son, it's likely that both have time limitations.
With the methods of the Golden Seed, it is entirely possible to stall for time or kill the target before the opponent activates a special state.
Therefore, the duration of the Holy Son Nemus's sainthood, the intensity of this process, and the cooldown time of sainthood are all very important data.
By handling the Holy Son properly, the Church can reduce one of its golden-type combatants at crucial moments.
Nems instructed Sanwu to follow the trail of the flesh monster and then track it down.
This flesh-and-blood monster has a habit of capturing survivors, making them kill each other, and then devouring each other's flesh and blood.
There were drag marks at the scene, and the amount of meat did not match the number of people in a caravan.
Therefore, it can be determined that this flesh-and-blood monster captured many people and took them away.
Sanwu's magic quickly detected various traces and tracked the scents, soon leading him towards a small grove of trees.
They then discovered a fairly large sinkhole in the middle of the grove.
The traces disappeared at the sinkhole.
The terrain around Qiquan City is relatively flat, but there are many rivers.
And there are also many undercurrents.
This has resulted in the existence of sinkholes in some nearby areas.
In fact, it is near the blowhole of the floating whale, where many underground tunnels have been formed due to the constant flow of air.
Some of these passages are large enough for a person to pass through, while others are only the size of a fist.
Every year, the church needs to spend some effort to stabilize the geological conditions of Gas Spring City.
If you make the floating whale's breathing unstable, it will most likely cause some minor emotional outbursts.
This sinkhole also appears to have such an effect, with the flow of energy forming underground passages.
Rainwater and other water flows underground, forming underground rivers that erode the geology, causing some areas to collapse and form sinkholes.
If you enter the sinkhole at this time, you may enter a complex network of underground passages, and if you are unlucky, you may even encounter a floating whale spouting steam.
As the energy flows, the underground river will continue to flow, and you might accidentally be carried into the Abyss of Energy.
“No wonder we haven’t been able to find any trace of Him for so long.” Without hesitation, Nemus chose to jump down.
The other party wanted to test him, and he naturally wanted to test the other party as well.
The other party is currently hiding in the shadows, not revealing their true form.
Every action is essentially a strike.
Just like in a battle, any move you make will cause changes in your body and position, thus revealing weaknesses that you haven't considered.
The same applies now. If the other party sends flesh and blood monsters to test him, then he needs to invest in this testing process.
These investments could very well become 'evidence' that Nemes uses to catch the other party.
As Nemus jumped into the sinkhole, the moment he landed, he swung his sword, causing a surge of air currents.
Blow away the water on the ground.
It can be roughly observed that the water flow now only covers the ankles.
Judging from the marks left on the surrounding walls by long-term soaking, the water here could reach up to about one meter high.
However, the deepest part of the mark is less than half a meter away.
After a quick calculation of the time, Nems roughly came to a conclusion.
Generally, when the water level rises to about half a meter, the buoyant whale will start spouting steam.
This water will flow with the air currents towards the Abyss of Breath.
It's just that there might be large reservoirs like underground lakes, so after the water is drawn in, it will flow back after the flow calms down.
When choosing a base, Nemus chose Pupil Lake over the underground passage of Qiquan City.
However, the various air passages underground in Kiquan City have also been studied.
Therefore, I have some understanding of this.
Following the water flow, Nemus discovered an opening next to the sinkhole.
Water is slowly flowing out right now.
Upon entering the cave, Nemus discovered traces of flesh and blood monsters dragging others along.
At this moment, Sanwu caught up, and a ball of light immediately appeared in his hand, providing illumination.
Of course, under normal circumstances, with Naim's current perception, even without the light sphere, Naim can see clearly inside the passage.
Nemes walked in front, and soon his mental power sensed something ahead.
Sure enough, before Nemus could get close, a human-shaped, skinned frog jumped down from the top of the building next to him.
A thick, powerful muscle shot out from his mouth, its tip tipped with extremely sharp teeth.
As soon as this monster moved, seven or eight similar monsters rushed out from various parts of the passage.
Chapter 331 Loss of Personality
Nemus could clearly sense the human remnants on these monsters.
Clearly, these people are the 'descendants' transformed by the flesh and blood monster.
They were originally just ordinary passersby, but after being captured by the flesh-and-blood monster, they lost their humanity in the process of killing each other.
Its body also underwent mutation after being fed the flesh of a flesh monster.
At this moment, they had completely transformed into the monster's lackeys, forgetting their former identity as humans.
There's not much to say about the combat; most of these monsters only have stats of around seven or eight points.
The Blackrock clerics might be a bit troublesome to deal with, but for Nemus, a single sword strike could kill a large number of them.
These people are beyond saving.
Driven to desperation, they fought each other, and the moment they swallowed the flesh of their own kind, they had already abandoned everything that made them human.
Their personalities, their understanding, everything about them as human beings has collapsed.
The blade sliced through their bodies in an instant, killing them instantly.
Nemes passed through the passage and arrived at an underground lake.
The lake water was still quite high, and the surrounding area was pitch black.
Several passageways could be vaguely seen.
Despite the relatively small difference in terrain, water was still flowing through these passages.
Because of these water currents, Nemus couldn't immediately determine which passage the flesh monster had led those people through.
He tossed the sword forward, amplifying the effect of the technique, and the moment the sword fell, Nemus made his choice.
