Chapter 386 - 392: Er Gou’s New Skill
A piece of good news arrived.
The New York Spirit Sword Bureau has obtained the teleportation blueprint.
This is no small matter, and it holds extraordinary significance for the Desert Four Towns, so Hang Yu immediately entered the Spirit Realm to understand the situation.
"Rest assured, it’s true, I personally confirmed the news."
Jiang Nan’s small face was filled with a happy smile.
The territory is getting better and more complete, and she is proud of it.
"Speaking of which, thanks to the Great God’s personal push, otherwise how would Black Sand Town so smoothly acquire the blueprint? In the future, with teleportation arrays in the four towns, traveling will be much more convenient, it’s wonderful!"
Hang Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Indeed, a teleportation array is a rare array, with functions similar to a teleportation stele, but it still can’t fully compare to the teleportation stele, as it’s merely an array."
Jiang Nan asked, "What’s the difference?"
Hang Yu answered, "The Spirit Realm’s teleportation stele, although it has a limited range, comes at a lower cost and the teleportation efficiency and speed are very high. The teleportation array obtained by Black Sand Town, while it’s a rare blueprint, does not yet have the capacity to transport large-scale troops."
Jiang Nan realized, "So that’s how it is."
Though it can’t transport large troops, it should still be feasible for individuals or small teams, but the cost is higher than the teleportation stele, and the array has a usage lifespan. Once the teleportation limit is reached, the array becomes obsolete and needs to be rebuilt.
Despite some restrictions,
the advantages are quite obvious.
At the very least, the location for the teleportation array is not limited.
You can set it up wherever you want.
Moreover, the teleportation array can connect with the teleportation stele. Now, simply building a teleportation array at the junction between the towns, using it to connect with the teleportation steles of the four small towns, will immediately solve the transportation problem.
If a town is attacked,
the elite teams from the other three towns can be dispatched immediately for support.
Building the defense for these four small towns is of great significance, and even though the cost isn’t small, it’s completely worth it.
Jiang Nan continued, "People from Black Sand Town have already explored it, they found a very secluded cave stronghold at the junction of the four towns. This position is quite safe for setting up the first teleportation array, but..."
"But what?"
Jiang Nan furrowed her eyebrows slightly and said, "It’s just that the cost of constructing the teleportation array is quite high, each costing about over four hundred blue crystals. Black Sand Town suggests splitting the cost among the four towns, we have three small towns... so we need to pay over three hundred!"
"Too high!"
Hang Yu was displeased about it.
The Azure Dragon could afford the three hundred blue crystals.
But there’s no need to overpay.
Black Sand Town has the blueprint, it ultimately needs to be implemented in practice, they can’t just hold the technology and not use it, right?
Hang Yu said, "Tell them, the Azure Dragon is not a fool, but considering their efforts to obtain the technology, we can advance a hundred blue crystals, in exchange for a discount on teleportation fees for Azure Dragon members... once the array is established, they’ll be the primary beneficiaries."
"Understood!"
The Great God really cut hard.
Three hundred reduced directly to one hundred.
Jiang Nan didn’t think too much of it, she never discounts Hang Yu’s orders.
Hang Yu didn’t think he was being ruthless, the teleportation array is a very rare blueprint, Azure Dragon can’t acquire it in the short term, so they can only use the technology provided by Black Sand Town, but it’s thanks to Azure Dragon that the New York Spirit Sword Bureau acquired the array in the first place, isn’t it? They owe Hang Yu a favor after all.
Additionally,
a small teleportation array.
The cost definitely doesn’t require 400 blue crystals!
Hang Yu estimates it at 150-200 blue crystals, and Azure Dragon can cover most of it, which is quite generous.
The teleportation array is fundamentally Black Sand Town’s core technology.
Once it starts operating, everyone using the teleportation array will have to pay fees.
This money will certainly go to Black Sand Town, becoming its largest source of income.
The teleportation array benefits the four towns;
for Azure Dragon, it’s just convenient.
But it’s easy money for Black Sand Town.
Jiang Nan conveyed Hang Yu’s will to Black Sand Town, and Black Sand Town quickly responded, agreeing to Hang Yu’s terms, due to the urgency of the matter, action was taken immediately.
Mages from Black Sand Town, guarded by two escort teams, headed to the stronghold.
It’s expected to take about three days to complete the array.
And at this moment.
Hang Yu received another piece of good news, Er Gou returned with his team from a hunt, eagerly sprinting towards Hang Yu: "Awoo, boss, look at me, don’t I look a bit different now?"
Erha Spirit’s tail was almost wagging to the sky.
Hang Yu didn’t need to look to know what was happening: "Evolved?"
Although the dog’s appearance hadn’t changed, the entire dog seemed more spirited and held more poise. While it’s odd to say a husky has poise, one couldn’t deny that this husky-looking creature was now an undeniable Silver Lord.
The level hadn’t changed.
The rank increased.
Basic attributes collectively rose by nearly 20%.
Acquired a new spirit beast skill "Shadow Demon Wolf"!
[Shadow Demon Wolf], innate skill, consumes 50 spiritual power, activation time of 2 seconds, enters Ghost Wolf mode, movement speed +15%, attack power +30, physical damage immunity +80 when not attacking, consumes 5 spiritual power per second!
Hang Yu reviewed the dog’s new skill.
He found the skill quite good.
This skill seems like a transformation skill, but it is actually a status skill.
Typically, transformation skills cannot be stacked, but status skills can be stacked and combined. The dog already has a transformation skill, which dramatically increases all attributes and makes its strength no less than a wild lord monster.
Now with this new skill.
The dog can simultaneously apply the Shadow Demon Wolf status during transformation, thus further enhancing its attributes!
Shadow Demon Wolf itself is a very powerful skill, once activated, it enters Shadow mode, which is a spirit body mode.
The spirit body situation allows it to pass through certain physical barriers.
Additionally, it provides significant immunity to physical attacks.
The Shadow Demon Wolf also possesses a degree of inherent invisibility, making it a super assassin skill, enabling the dog to be elusive and effectively counter regular combat professionals.
Of course,
when the dog initiates an attack, the spirit body state disappears, temporarily becoming corporeal. If the enemy seizes the opportunity to attack within seconds, the Shadow Demon Wolf’s physical immunity effect will not trigger.
Overall,
this is a very strong skill.
Even if a wild lord monster had such a skill it would be troublesome.
Moreover, the dog isn’t an ordinary monster, it’s a high-IQ academic dog, so this troublesome skill combined with the dog’s superior intelligence significantly boosts Er Gou’s strength, making it a difficult match for ordinary people.
Furthermore,
it doesn’t necessarily have to be used for battle.
After all, the dog’s main ability lies in reconnaissance.
The Shadow Demon Wolf will greatly increase the dog’s reconnaissance efficiency.
The dog smugly said, "Awoo, boss, from today on, I officially switch professions to assassin dog!"
"The skill is good, but don’t slack off, you need to level up to 11 as soon as possible, understand?"
Hang Yu continued, "This evolution came at the right time. According to the information we obtained from Shamoduo, the Lord of Sand Spring City should set out today, so we must act and follow their footsteps!"
Er Gou had been quite smug.
But upon hearing this, his previously spirited ears drooped and he instantly became deflated.
"Awoo, boss, do we really have to pursue the Great Lord Kaliemlo? If we’re discovered, we can’t handle him with our current capability. Centaurs move especially fast, we’ll be doomed if caught in the wild!"
