The original sin of sloth requires a lot of knowledge about magic. For the time being, Mu Hua has not found the skill stones that can give out this knowledge. He really does not have the energy to learn those things. However, the creation of all elements should be able to replace this link.
Based on some information from the Ghost and God Council, Mu Hua speculated that if the six types of magic, namely, creation of all things, transformation of souls, keratinous skin, shapeshifting, living sealing, and identification, were brought to the extreme, even if one did not learn those troublesome magical knowledge, one should be able to touch laziness.
Mu Hua didn't think he had a very good temper, and he was not at the age where he should have a good temper. Without the original sin of laziness, he really didn't dare to touch or gluttony casually.
Putting aside the relatively rare Creation of All Things, it can be regarded as lowering the threshold of laziness to a certain extent. After all, it can be replaced with related knowledge. Laziness does not seem to be difficult to get in touch with. Unfortunately, no original sin can be so intimate to let you get close.
As far as sloth is concerned, keratinous skin and shapeshifting can be seen as the more intuitive manifestations of sloth's combat power. However, as for the choice of medium for these two abilities, there is really a big deviation in the combat ability of the sloth ghost.
There is no need to say much about the keratinized skin. The eleven media transform its own origin. Even if there is not enough magic supply, it is just a skin that absorbs the media. You can just get ten media and push the keratinized skin to the extreme.
However, both the shapeshifting technique and the living sealing technique are standard higher-level magic, especially the shapeshifting technique. Even though Zhou Yi and the others have mastered the shapeshifting technique, that is their racial inheritance, and Mu Hua has not yet obtained the shapeshifting technique skill stone.
And that thing can transform into a creature at each level, just like keratinous skin. It can only continue to upgrade after absorbing the medium and completing the transformation.
Damn, Monkey King only has 100 transformations, and you want to create incarnations?
At the same time, there is a certain connection between keratinous skin and shapeshifting. If keratinous skin and shapeshifting both choose a similar species as a medium, that incarnation will synchronize all the states and abilities of the original body, and even superimpose the two.
This connection makes it necessary for people with keratinized skin to be more cautious in choosing media.
In a word, laziness can make you extremely powerful, or it can make you extremely weak. As for Mu Hua, laziness can be brushed, but if you brush it randomly, you may end up with a very weak character.
Getting Sloth is a long way to go. Earlier, there were too many people in Mu Hua's family who could buy skill stones, and Mu Hua had to concentrate on analyzing the Petrifying Eye, so he did not deliberately try to learn higher-level magic.
Now, since he has fished out some magic essence from the abyss, he might need to stockpile some magic essence in order to use the method of stacking and smelting to brush up on the higher-level magic he needs.
Well, under normal circumstances, a demon general-level monster should be able to produce magic essence. Unfortunately, magic crystals can only produce high-level skill stones at most, and cannot produce high-level magic. If the demon generals in the courtyard want to see their true form descend, there is probably no hope unless they bankrupt themselves first.
After leaving the city of Cuiyu Cangting, they sent the looted mechas and supplies to the Abyss Island, and gave a mecha and those petrified transformed demons to Kui as research materials. Kui Tuo was in high spirits and played some small games with Mu Hua that he was not willing to play before.
Four mechas were allocated to Ikaros and dropped in the city of Caines, as a way of improving the reputation of the Aqua sect.
After changing his job to a new belief system, Ikaros' mecha is still under development. Aoi is now able to make standard military mecha, but the consumption and wear of those mecha are too severe.
Mu Hua is not planning to produce that kind of product. Aoi has been working on Penelope's Wandering Hunter. A mecha that uses magic energy as an energy source is Mu Hua's minimum requirement for his own mecha.
The remaining twenty demon mechas were deployed to the hot spring village, and some ghosts who originally specialized in mecha control in the academy were arranged to possess the skeleton undead and help the skeleton undead learn mecha control. In the future, those skeleton undead will probably become mecha pilots.
There is no unusual movement at Snow Ridge Ranch. All the hellhounds under Zhou Yi's command that learned shadow magic have been released. They have invaded the north of Snow Ridge Ranch to conduct reconnaissance and spying.
By the way, they were also ordered to assassinate Leticia's subordinates, especially those demons who were listed by Mu Hua as must-kill options at all costs.
Don't be fooled by the ugly and ferocious appearance of hellhounds, but they are genuine demons. There is no need to say much about reconnaissance and espionage, and they will naturally consider whether assassination is feasible.
Apart from the demon followers, Monday did not force them to assassinate other monsters for the time being. Their main task was still reconnaissance, but the hellhounds themselves actually liked assassination and sneak attacks.
Military regulations stipulate that the hellhounds sent out can obtain corresponding military merits based on the importance of the intelligence they gather. In the future, Mu Hua will select some key training targets based on their military merits.
"Boom~Boom~" The demon mecha walking in the wild made vibrations when it stepped on it, and reached out to pull away the trees blocking the way. The mecha walked through the dense forest like walking on a river bank covered with reeds.
Mu Hua is still looking for plant essences in the Mechanical Forest. He also left a demon mecha for himself. This demon mecha is more like a big toy in his hands. He likes this kind of toy.
"Stop moving! Report the identification code." Mu Hua was driving the mecha to look for the ancient tree he felt nearby. Suddenly, the ground turned up, and a short modified demon crawled out of the bunker and shouted at the mecha.
The bionic floor was made of a material that shielded energy detection. Perhaps because Mu Hua was walking around so openly, the half-mechanical demon in front of him was not nervous at all. He even showed a little respect when facing the mecha, as if it was just a routine inquiry. "..." Mu Hua was silent. Identification code? Under the surprised gaze of the transformed demon, the demon mecha slowly raised its arm, and a shooting hole was opened on the inside of the mecha arm at an inopportune time.
"Thump, thump, thump~~"
Well, the mecha opened fire. Before the modified demon could react, the auxiliary shooting hole on the mecha's arm spit out a piece of live bullet, which swept it into pieces in the blink of an eye.
Is it so high-end? What kind of identification code is there? Where did he get the identification code?
The identification code created by the devil is not just a set of digital codes. It is said that it also seems to have pheromone authentication or something like that. This modified devil is too dedicated. This is not good.
With a swaggering sneak attack, Mu Hua killed a modified demon that was roughly similar to a sentinel, but shrill alarms sounded in multiple locations in the distance.
“Shhhh!”
The cabin opened, Mu Hua crawled out of the mecha and put it into the storage space.
A series of magic spells, such as breath of the cracks, concealment, mental blocking, and shadow stealth, were cast on himself. Mu Hua turned into a shadow and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.
Sure enough, magic is more useful. Since any secret sentry you encounter will ask for an identification code, it is not feasible to simply rely on the demon mecha to wander around the monster's heartland.
As soon as Mu Hua left, two or three warheads appeared in the sky above where he was.
The warhead exploded, and the bursting energy extracted the surrounding fire and thunder elements in a strange way. Countless tiny steel cones with fire and thunder elements attached to them covered an area of hundreds of meters like scattered flowers from the sky.
Cluster warheads, this thing is a pure cluster warhead, but it is mixed with elemental damage. Those scattered steel cones are obviously not as simple as simple vectors.
"Bang~bang~bang~bang~bang~" The not-too-loud explosions sounded like firecrackers, and in these explosions, the steel cones scattered from the warheads exploded into smaller fragments.
The flying debris destroyed everything within a radius of hundreds of meters. Mud splashed, earth and rocks shattered, and large tracts of trees collapsed. Mu Hua, who had avoided the strangulation site, was secretly shocked.
Damn, the monster gathering place in this Mechanical Forest is so violent. It’s eight hundred feet away, and they don’t even see anyone, but they just cover and attack us.
Originally, Mu Hua wanted to leave after finding the ancient tree, but when he saw the cluster warheads thrown around here, Mu Hua's salivary glands tended to secrete more vigorously, and he also liked this type of warhead.
After confirming that there were no more attacks, Mu Hua wandered around and finally found two ancient trees with holes all over them.
The trees were old enough but not tall and strong. One of them had already been ignited by the fragments blown out by the steel spikes. While the tree was still there and yet to be burned, Mu Hua hurriedly extracted the plant essence from them.
Sneaking and wandering, we sneaked all the way to a steel fortress built in a valley. It was a heavy-industry-style fortress, and the buildings inside it looked like factories.
The metal walls are naturally much stronger than stone and wood walls, but they are not as good as Mu Hua's Hengjin city bricks, so they can only be regarded as conventional buildings.
Mu Hua was also jealous of the small floating castle in the fortress. If he dismantled it, he should be able to create a suspended stone of considerable size.
He tried to sneak in, but before he got close to the city wall within a thousand meters, an orange alarm signal flashed on the wall. On the wall, there were weapons similar to machine guns mounted every twenty meters, and many of the muzzles were turning back and forth, as if detecting Mu Hua's location.
Okay, let’s escape, let’s escape. There are not only energy fields but also pulse nets on the city walls, but there is not a single lively monster to be seen. It turns out that stealing a house is not that easy.
Mu Hua, who wanted to make some extra money, ran away. We are here to pick some mushrooms, not to fight. No... (End of this chapter)
