Chapter 122: It’s all for nothing
I read the two-word mantra ‘summon’ alone, and the power of the mantra spread along the tone, but nothing happened.
This situation was somewhat expected by Zhou Xu.
This is like the mantra of 'Skeleton Soldier Control'. If he just said 'Control', the same situation would happen.
Because ‘manipulation’ requires a more clear and directional word combination.
Therefore, the "control" alone did not take effect, but the "skeleton soldier control" as a clear combination took effect smoothly.
So Zhou Xu expected that this ‘summoning’ mantra would most likely have the same prerequisites.
With this thought in mind, after a simple attempt, Zhou Xu spoke up again...
[Skeleton soldiers summoned! 】
At that moment, as the power of the mantra spread, the skeleton soldier standing in front of Zhou Xu finally made a move. It calmly raised its head, and then disappeared...
< br>
Just when Zhou Xu was confused and wondering what he didn't do well and where there was a problem, a sound of 'click, click, click, click' came from the distance.
Zhou Xu is undoubtedly very familiar with this voice.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked around. At that moment, he saw a large number of skeleton soldiers gathering from all directions.
In a short time, a large number of skeleton soldiers gathered in front of him! And there are more skeleton soldiers coming one after another.
This burst of fighting directly alarmed the entire Black Moon Camp. Zhou Chongshan and the others hurried over with weapons in hand, thinking that something had happened.
After all, when their leader tested the skeleton soldiers before, nothing like this happened.
"Chief! What happened?!"
Looking at the tribe members, headed by Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce, who were in an obviously tense state, they were being attacked by dozens of bodies. Zhou Xu, who was surrounded by skeleton soldiers, felt embarrassed in his heart.
Immediately, I heard him cough heavily.
"Hmm! It's nothing. I was just testing the power of my mantra. I accidentally failed to control my strength."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Chongshan and others were obviously relieved, and the people who hurried over did not feel any irritation at all.
On the contrary, they all looked at Zhou Xu with more respect, including Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce!
"Congratulations, leader, the power of the mantra has become even more powerful! Just now, even the skeleton soldiers deployed outside the camp rushed back as soon as possible!"
Li Ce This sentence made Zhou Xu, who was feeling embarrassed at the time, look stunned.
“Wait a minute, Li Ce, are you saying that even the skeleton soldiers outside the camp came back at that time?”
"Yes."
Li Ce nodded without thinking, because he had observed the situation while rushing over, so he was very sure of this.
After Zhou Xu confirmed this, his face suddenly showed joy.
If he simply lets the skeleton soldiers gather around him, then in the state of 'skeleton soldier control', he can also achieve the same effect by issuing an order. From this point of view, the effect of 'Skeleton Soldier Control' completely covers the 'Skeleton Soldier Summon'.
But Li Ce's words provided him with new information, that is, scope!
The skeleton soldier's control is limited in scope. To put it simply, he can only control skeletons within a certain range.
The most typical example is the battle with Li Ce and his tribe. In order to control the skeleton soldiers deployed throughout the dark forest, Zhou Xu had to run all over the forest, casting mantras while running.
But from the current point of view, this ‘Skeleton Soldier Summon’ obviously has a much larger coverage than ‘Skeleton Soldier Control’.
If he had fought with Li Ce at that time, he would have already mastered the 'Skeleton Soldier Summon'.
According to that situation, he can directly use the mantra of "Skeleton Soldier Summons" to summon all the skeleton soldiers in the entire black forest area, and then use "Skeleton Soldier Control" to control them.
In this way, the entire combat rhythm can be significantly improved.
After some serious research, Zhou Xu was undoubtedly smiling as he gained something.
This is a great discovery that can improve his fighting rhythm and enrich his tactics!
This discovery made Zhou Xu too lazy to care about other things and plunged directly into testing the summoning range.
Again, in this era, there are no precise measuring tools, and the same is true for distance measurement.
So when they describe distance, they usually use time.
For example, it takes half a day to get from Black Moon Camp to Salt Lake Camp.
Before traveling through time, he was a person who preferred to walk out of a desire to exercise and increase some physical activity.
Unless there is something urgent, he usually prefers to walk to places within thirty minutes.
Thanks to this, within a time period of usually less than thirty minutes, Zhou Xu can basically be sure that he can walk almost three and a half kilometers without bringing anything, packing lightly and walking normally.
Calculating based on this distance, after many tests, Zhou Xu has completely determined that the maximum coverage area of the 'Skeleton Soldier Summon' is a circle with himself as the center and a radius of 1.5 kilometers.
During this process, Zhou Xu had an idea, that is, since he can sense the power of the mantra, can he increase the intensity and effect of the mantra by strengthening the power output?
For example, ‘Skeleton Summons’.
Under normal use, the coverage area is a radius of 1.5 kilometers, but if he improves the output of the power of the mantra, can he increase this radius area to two kilometers or even three kilometers?
"Huh——"
With this idea in mind, Zhou Xu, after many attempts, exhaled a long breath.
[It seems that it doesn't work, at least not now. It may be that I haven't found a way to control the intensity of the mantra power input, or it may be that I can't do it in the first place. 】
[It feels like this combination of mantras is like a program that has been written. After it is started, it will consume a fixed amount of energy and then produce a fixed effect. Currently, I have no way to control the output intensity of the energy. Adjustment. 】
After sorting out my thoughts, after this test, the power of the mantra has consumed a lot of Zhou Xu, and I am undoubtedly a little tired.
Then looking at the large group of skeleton soldiers in front of him, Zhou Xu suddenly realized a problem and let out a breath of cold air.
[Wait a minute, I summoned all the skeleton soldiers around the camp with the 'Skeleton Summons'. Doesn't that mean that the 'Skeleton Array' originally deployed outside the Black Moon Camp was here? All for free now? Do I have to redeploy again? ! 】
