Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

At this moment, the bowl of secret spiritual red was still placed in front of him. Even though he had mastered the ultimate control technique, Lin Bo did not intend to give up his original plan to use the philosopher's stone to enchant the metal and create stronger magical materials.

The Secret Spirit Red is not a panacea. As a miracle element, it will change the original physical properties of the elixir materials when involved in the alchemy process. Different materials have different levels of adaptability to the Secret Spirit Red.

In the case of insufficient compatibility, fusion failure may occur, or even extreme cases where the raw materials are corroded and damaged by the Secret Spirit Red.

Just as Lin Bo was pondering the appropriate alchemical formula in his mind, the metal mycelium in the wooden box on his waist slowly stretched out, placed it on the wizard's wrist, whispered softly, and begged for food.

"(Magic words) What do you want to eat?" Lin Bo asked softly.

The metal mycelium pointed to the bowl of Philosopher's Stone, and the mycelium swaying like willows in the wind seemed like dozens of eager little hands.

Lin Bo smiled, took off the culture box, and placed it on the golden bowl containing the mysterious red. He watched the metal mycelium jump for joy, and then penetrated into the deep red bright liquid and sucked it to its heart's content.

The metal mycelium drank half a bowl, then pointed to the final hub of the ritual disk, the gathering point of the heart stone energy.

Lin Bo moved the wooden box over, allowing the mycelium to bathe in the surging vitality.

After a while, cracking sounds were heard, and the wooden box was forcefully decomposed and digested by the mycelium, turning into debris and residue. The bright red mycelium was still not satisfied, and pierced into the pipes of the ritual plate and began to absorb blood.

Lin Bo reached out and touched the expanding fungal carpet, listening to the whispers of the mushrooms.

"Water, nutrition... nurturing..."

The hyphae are entangled with each other to form a cocoon shape. After a while, the cocoon cracks and a bright red mushroom grows out of it. The cap looks like a cloud, and inside is a sticky and light liquid metal that slowly seeps out and drips like raindrops.

Chapter 203 Sunset Duel, Mage Defends the Ring

Metallic fungi have lost the ability to reproduce during the evolution process and have never grown mushrooms.

Now, after absorbing more energy and nutrients than it needs to survive, it produces fruiting bodies for the first time.

These liquid metal secretions that seep out of the cap are dark reddish in color, reflecting a silvery metallic luster.

When each drop of liquid gold comes into contact with each other, it will spontaneously fuse into one, but when you poke it with your fingers, the surface of the liquid gold is hard and difficult to separate.

The metallic fungus, like a biological cauldron, smelted the Philosopher's Stone and the Magic Mushroom Iron, catalyzing a brand-new product. It was both liquid and solid, possessing bizarre properties. This type of magical material could be called a "superphase metal," but the specific causes of its formation were myriad and varied.

If Lin Bo summarizes the complete preparation method of this new material, he can also publish an alchemy paper.

He used the Medicine Master's Tongue to discern the metal's true name, which means "secret mercury."

Throughout the entire day, the metallic cloud fungus continued to ooze out secret mercury, and the mycelium continued to devour various nutrients, but the output was very small, with only one drop oozing out every few minutes.

Lin Bo spends his free time in the workshop reading books and collecting mushroom secretions.

After testing, it was found that although the hardness of the secret mercury was not high, after being blessed by the absolute control technique, it could easily leave scratches on the feather scale star steel. Its carrying capacity for magic runes was also quite good, which fully met his usage needs, so there was no need to refine other magic metals.

By the evening, the mushrooms had completely withered and fallen, and the total secretion produced was less than one liter.

He collected the mercury and placed it in a thin black-painted metal tube, which he carried around his waist. When in use, he could just raise his hand and pull out the stopper.

Part of the remaining metal mycelium was used to rebuild the Whale Fire Ring, and the rest was stored in the Space-Time Paper Box.

The magic mushroom iron transformed by the red dot of the secret spirit becomes more solid and tougher, and can store more whale oil and electrical energy. The overall quality is improved and is recognized as purple equipment by the comprehensive network.

The sun is about to set, and the team channel, which has been silent for a day, is lively again.

Lin Bo packed up his combat resources and equipment and reunited with his camp mates.

The duel location was arranged at the center of the three main cities. Everyone set off quickly before it got dark.

After arriving on the surface, the mage chanted a spell softly, manipulating the clouds to cover the malevolent sun ring. The outsiders in the dungeon and time felt that the boiling blood curse was greatly alleviated.

The companions gathered around Lin Bo, basking in the glow of the Heart Stone, their resistance to the curse increased. They advanced at full speed, arriving first at the duel location.

This was a patch of rolling grassland. As the pale sun sank into the west, obscured by the shadows of the mountains, the sky quickly darkened. Players each lit their own light sources, attracting more duelists in the twilight.

The Crusade camp was the second to arrive. They were all wearing white scout cloaks, which were part of the military uniform. It made it easier for the characters in the plot to identify their identities and also made their appearance look majestic and dignified. The cloaks fluttered in the gentle wind like ten drooping flags.

"Hey!" The players of the Crusade Army greeted each other, and everyone gathered together to exchange greetings.

It was also the first time that Lin Bo saw [Dragon Demon Madman] and [Chivalrous Thief Qing Roufeng] in person. The former was a big, sturdy guy with reptilian black scales all over his body. His head was very similar to that of a black dragon among the colorful dragons. The latter was a tall, short-haired elf woman.

Most of the players on the Crusade side are melee professions, including warriors, barbarians, paladins, and wanderers. [Gentle Wind] is a swordsinger branch of the mage profession, and there is also a bard.

The two sides got along well and agreed that if one side won, they would cooperate to carry out the Purgatory-level mission.

Lin Bo can make the final decision for the Elf camp, and the Holy Knights of the opposing camp also have a high status in the plot and can reach an agreement on behalf of the Crusade Army.

[Comprehensive Network Tips: Completed Mission - Diplomat (Normal)]

[Clearance conditions have been met, and the transmission channel can be activated at any time]

All twenty people received a notification that the mission was completed, but no one intended to leave.

"This is the Heart Stone, the treasure of the elves. It's so beautiful." The allies looked at the source of vitality in the wizard's hand and marveled at it.

The Black Dragonborn touched the scales on his chin and asked curiously, "What would happen if we took this thing out of the dungeon?"

"That's just a piece of junk," said a veteran player from the Holy War faction. "Someone tried it before, and it shattered the moment they took it out. This kind of key item is only useful in dungeons."

Lin Bo nodded slightly. He had noticed that the power of the Giant's Heart was one with the corpse. After the two were separated, the Heart Stone lost its miraculous power.

A moment later, the players from the Necromancer camp crossed the hill and appeared in everyone's sight. They held up magic lamps, and the cold light reflected the shadowy undead army on the top of the mountain behind them. Thousands of undead creatures moved relentlessly across the land like glaciers in a sea of ​​snow.

"Why is it such a big deal?"

"Not really. Who brings little brothers with them when they go to fight?"

There was a commotion in the Fey and Crusade camps. Everyone generally felt that these Undead were really going too far and were secretly creating a big scene.

"We're late, we're late. I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting." The players from the Undead camp were all in high spirits.

The leader of the team was a pale human woman with a bald head and tattoos, wearing a bright red robe. She was [Leng Yu]. The other companions included necromancers, warlocks of the Demonic Contract, shadow sorcerers, spore society druids, and so on.

The huge number of undead creatures behind them had green fire in their eyes, like a tide of fireflies, staring coldly at the group of living creatures, and the coldness in their gaze made people's skin tighten.

"We even brought food with us. But you have bad intentions!" [Dragon Demon Madman] couldn't stand the other party's face.

"No, I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Let's talk it out nicely." The Necromancer player immediately bent and stretched his arms, waving his hand to drive away the undead army, letting them retreat to the horizon.

After a few pleasantries, the formal duel began.

The rule is that each camp sends one person as the champion, and players from other camps challenge in turn. If they successfully defend the ring, they will get one point, and if they fail, the points will be reset to zero. Each player has two opportunities to challenge, but they cannot challenge the same camp.

Players from the Crusade camp and the Necromancer camp gathered together to discuss enthusiastically and carefully arrange the candidates for the host.

The companions in the fey camp just looked at the wizard silently.

"Yeah." Lin Bo nodded and said nothing.

The bard who was temporarily hosting the competition shouted loudly, "Everyone, find a wider place, and the rest of you, come up the hillside."

The sun was getting lower and lower, and the sky was purple-gray.

There is no wind in the Giant's Field under the stars, only the miasma that drifts with the night, submerging people's legs and the chests of halfling, gnome, and dwarf players.

Lin Bo handed the heart stone to the soul-calling witch for safekeeping, and then strolled to an open space.

The players are all on the western slopes, while the undead horde is gathered on the eastern hillock.

The first person to come to him was the captain of the Undead camp [Leng Yu].

She blew a whistle, and a group of ghouls, a group of skeleton warriors, and a headless knight emerged from the undead army.

"This is my own summoned creature, so I'm not taking advantage of you." The red-robed wizard explained with a smile.

The three-eyed skull nodded slightly, and they exchanged greetings, as per dueling tradition. Lin Bo touched his chest and bowed, while [Cold Rain] opened his arms and bowed.

After the ceremony, the red-robed wizard chanted a spell and became invisible, while her undead summons attacked wildly.

Horrifying ghouls had smooth skin, claws like knives, and bodies as strong as rhinoceroses. Skeleton warriors wore enchanted gear, allowing them to run with swift speed and split stone with force. Headless knights charged, pale ethereal flames erupting from their broken necks, and a chilling mist lingered around them.

The players watching from the hillside understood why the Necromancers had prevailed in the previous teamfight. Home-field advantage was one factor, but having such strong teammates was even more crucial.

The players of the Crusade Army all frowned, trying to put themselves in the other player's shoes and think about how to break the deadlock. Their conclusion was that it would be difficult to win.

Only Lin Bo's companions looked relaxed. Although they were also staring intently, they were curious about the magician's fighting style.

[Cold Rain], in stealth mode, quickly rushed towards her opponent. She circled to the side of the summoned creature and drew out the curved snake-shaped sword at her waist. As long as she could take the opportunity to grab the opponent's neck, she would win.

At this moment, the skeleton in the windbreaker raised his hand and formed a sword finger seal, and then a bloody cold light flew out from behind him, turning into a bullet that shot out, tearing through the sound barrier in the blink of an eye, like a group of noisy wild bees passing by, instantly passing through the cluster of undead summoned by [Cold Rain].

The red-robed wizard paused and looked around. Ghouls, skeleton soldiers, and headless knights were all lying on the ground, their bodies covered with wounds and their equipment in tatters.

She looked at her opponent again, only to find that the three-eyed skull was also turning its face towards her.

Ordinary invisibility cannot block infrared rays.

He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the secret mercury turned into a ribbon, binding the infrared object in his field of vision.

"I lost..." [Leng Yu], whose hands and feet were trapped, did not struggle anymore.

On the hillside, the elves camp cheered, while the other players looked ashen.
