Chapter 16 The Mysterious Magic of the Astrological Chart
The sky is bright.
Lin Feng bid farewell to his warm bed, grabbed a breadstick, and rushed out of Lorraine's cottage.
"I'm off, Aunt Lorraine!"
"Slow down, slow down! Oh, this child."
Aunt Lorraine, holding a mop and supporting her back, smiled helplessly.
Lin Feng headed straight for the shopping street.
As we passed by Martha's hut, Martha was standing in the courtyard in her martial arts uniform, meticulously striking the wooden stakes.
"They really work hard."
Just as Wenyi Locke was about to open for business, he saw Lin Feng not far away and was about to greet him, but Lin Feng completely ignored him.
Are you kidding me? A single Bloodline Elixir costs 160000 Locke Coins! How could he possibly afford that at his current stage?
Like Anne's Little Shop, the shop selling spirit fragments was filled with a wide variety of goods and was said to be owned by a nobleman in the capital.
After buying the spirit fragments, the man and the duck officially set off into the wilderness.
With Duck Gigi's level increased, Lin Feng planned to crush it head-on.
Leaving the main road around the shopping street, he turned into the jungle where many wild sprites were hidden, and this time he changed direction again.
This direction is completely opposite to the direction where you encounter the Polluted Stormbird, and there are more wild Pokémon along the way, but the road is also more difficult to travel.
The trees here have many branches, and the grass has not been trimmed. Every step feels like walking on dead leaves, which is very uncomfortable.
Some thorny vines scratched his skin painfully. He carefully stepped over the bushes with red berries, but unexpectedly, the red mushrooms he stepped on turned out to be mushroom cubes!
Realizing something was wrong, Lin Feng quickly retreated and took his magic wand out of his bag.
Feeling the pressure coming from above, Mushroom Ding emerged from the soil and angrily threw a puddle of hot sand at Lin Feng.
Large swathes of sand and gravel surged up from the ground and hurtled toward him.
Lin Feng pushed off with both feet and dodged to the side. Yellowish-brown sand swept past him, hitting a tree trunk and creating a large gash.
He turned, raised his wand, and a star materialized in the blink of an eye. He shouted, "Richman, use Slap! Attack the mushroom on its head!"
"quack!"
With its short legs, Duck Gigi moved in a blur, ignoring Mushroom Ding's terrified expression, and smashed the red mushroom on its head.
As if struck by a severe blow, GuGuDing staggered and fell to the ground. Lin Feng flung out the gathered stars, which struck its face head-on, causing a large burst of magical energy.
"Bang!"
"Fugui, deliver the final blow, knock it towards us with a slap!"
"Gagaga!"
Duck Gigi turned around and, as if bouncing a ball, threw the mushroom cubes into the air, then slammed them down on the alchemical pot floating next to Lin Feng.
The already half-dead mushroom died completely, its body emitting specks of white light that began to dissipate.
Lin Feng channeled his magic, making the mouth of the alchemical pot twice as large, and aimed his magic wand at the flying mushroom corpse.
"Sacrifice magic!"
Complex magical runes pulsed, and some of the life force within Mushroom Ding's corpse was intercepted, transforming into a small green light spot.
The vibrant life force flowed into Yajiji's body along the magical pathways planned by Lin Feng, transforming into warmth that nourished its body.
"Gagaga"
Duck Gigi looked quite pleased with itself, and the purple glow on its body shone even brighter.
The corpse of Mushroom Ding fell into the alchemical cauldron. Lin Feng used magic to seal the cauldron's opening and continued to inject magic into the heating runes inside.
The magic of Mushroom Ding's corpse was locked away and refined by the alchemical cauldron, turning into a small puddle of magical dust.
Without a container, the magic dust would quickly dissipate. Lin Feng quickly beckoned to Duck Gigi, "Fugui, come here, open your mouth, there's something delicious."
"quack?"
Duck Gigi was still immersed in the comfort brought by the vitality of life. Upon hearing Lin Feng's command, it subconsciously opened its mouth.
Lin Feng reached out and grabbed the alchemy pot, then poured the freshly baked magic powder into Duck Gigi's mouth.
"Quack quack quack! (This duck is going to die!)"
Lin Feng poured every last speck of powder from the alchemy pot into it.
Duck Gigi lay on the grass, rubbing against the grass. The smell of the magical dust was truly unpalatable.
However, soon, DuckGigi discovered that the magic power within his body was boiling.
The boiling magic strengthened its physique, and all its attributes were also improved by a little!
This boost is even stronger than the boost to individual values!
"Gagaga!"
Duck Gigi jumped up excitedly. The clever creature, after discovering this fact, longed to become stronger and trotted over to Lin Feng, hugging his leg.
Lin Feng got excited too, "Hahaha, Fugui, today we're going to conquer the wilderness! Wuhu, take off!"
"Gah gah gah! (Takeoff)"
Soon, an innocent dandelion doll was brutally killed by Duck Gigi; the cause of death was that it didn't look Lin Feng in the eye.
A stubborn bouncy seed, oblivious to the danger, attempted to attack him, only to be blasted into cactus juice by DuckJiJi.
Two other fluffy creatures were cruelly crippled, turning into magical dust that will forever accompany Duck Gigi, witnessing its future growth.
[Limited-time mission: Sacrifice five spirits - Completed. Reward: Spirit Backpack]
A system notification sounded.
Lin Feng wiped the sweat from his brow. Using the Sacrifice spell five times in a row that morning had almost drained him dry, but it was all worth it!
"Finally, I can get my second Pokémon!"
Lin Feng looked at the panel with delight and said, then he said with some regret, "If I had brought the Gulu Ball with me, I might have been able to catch a few more Qili Grasses to produce Sunflowers."
"Hmm? Wealth and status?"
Lin Feng snapped out of his thoughts and looked up to see only empty woods and withered grass on the ground.
"What easy little sprite has Fugui found to bully this time?"
Lin Feng didn't care. After killing the Bouncy Seed, he decided to use Star Magic less and save more magic power for Sacrifice Magic.
With DuckGigi's attributes and level getting higher and higher, some low-level Pokémon are no match for it.
Lin Feng let it find and kill the elves on its own, and then bring them back for him to refine into magic dust.
However, Lin Feng sensed something was wrong. Why had Fugui been gone for so long this time?
"Boom!"
A loud bang.
Lin Feng looked warily in the direction from which the sound came. There was a large tree that had collapsed, as if it had been knocked down by some kind of elf...?
Moreover, the elf could create a cloud of dust simply by running, rampaging and destroying all the trees along the way.
And the object it was chasing was the disheveled purple figure that kept dodging in the woods.
"Holy crap! A king lizard!"
Lin Feng's expression changed drastically. He put away his wand, turned, and ran, shouting, "Fugui! Lead it away! Why are you running towards me?! You want to get me killed?!"
The Stone Crowned Lizard's angry roar startled the surrounding weaker creatures, causing them to flee in terror.
It couldn't catch up with the agile duck, but it knew that the human in the distance must be the owner of this purple duck.
Once he's killed, this foolish duck will eventually be caught!
It raised its head, gathered its magic, and sent a shower of meteorites crashing down from the sky!
"Holy crap!"
Lin Feng immediately turned around and ran, cursing as he ran, "Fugui! You bastard!"
Duck Gigi is much more agile than Lin Feng. While dodging meteorites, it can also use sonic bullets to counterattack.
But every counterattack felt like a tickle, and instead provoked the Stone Crown Lizard to spit out its spines, pricking it all over.
It cackled twice in embarrassment, enduring the pain of being struck by the bursting stone spikes, and kept casting spells around the Stone Crown Lizard, trying to lure it away.
But the Stone Crowned Lizard seemed to have its sights set on Lin Feng, constantly channeling its magic to condense meteorites above Lin Feng's head.
Meteorites continued to fall, and Lin Feng struggled to dodge them left and right, which brought the Stone Crown Lizard ever closer.
"No way, we'll get caught up sooner or later, oh my god!"
"Since no one's watching, let's use the same power we used last time!"
Lin Feng stopped, summoned the star chart, and waved his hand to activate the ominous black magic power on the star chart.
The rings on the astrolabe begin to rotate.
It echoes the Death Star in the sky.
The Crowned Lizard didn't care about that; blinded by rage, it only wanted to crush the man in front of it!
It uses Stone Skin to add another thick layer to its skin, and then it crashes into things.
Trampled! Trampled! Trampled!
As the crested lizard drew ever closer, Lin Feng calmed down.
The Death Star, following his prayer, unleashed its purplish-black energy.
This violent magical power was so great that it almost burst his body!
Lin Feng didn't want to faint after firing just one shot like last time, so he suppressed the demonic power within his body.
That's right! I imagine elves can withstand even more magical power, right?
Just like in the game, he mobilized all the purplish-black magic in his body and, through the contract with the elf, threw it all at DuckGigi.
"Giggle giggle?"
Before DuckGigi knew what was happening, he felt a strange magical power emerge from within his body.
These magical forces relentlessly destroyed everything within it, even controlling its body and putting it into a state of alternating flashing, sometimes like pollution, sometimes like purification.
"Fugui, quickly use your willpower to attack!"
Lin Feng anxiously watched Ya Jiji. The Stone Crowned Lizard had already rushed in front of him, and he could even clearly see every single stone spike on the lizard's spines. He gasped for breath.
"Buzz!"
The contradictory black energy entangled around DuckGigi bloomed into flowers of deathly magic, transforming into black stars that locked onto the Stone Crown Lizard.
flashing.
fast!
It's like a hallucination.
Before Lin Feng could react, a black light flashed, and a gust of foul wind ruffled his hair. He raised his hand to shield himself from the dust.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the King Lizard frozen in place, its body covered in cracks.
broken.
A shattering force that ignores all defenses!
"Click-clack!"
With a crisp sound, one of the hind legs of the Stone Crowned Lizard shattered into pieces.
pain!
"Woo~"
This terrifying force finally brought it to its senses. It roared in pain and fled in panic, tail between its legs.
Duck Gigi was even less able to adapt to this magic. Every part of its body that had come into contact with the magic had already shattered, and with a gust of wind, it turned into ashes and scattered.
"Snap!"
Lin Feng's magic heart on his right shoulder shattered, and Ya Jiji recovered from a state that was both dead and alive, both real and unreal.
It stared blankly at Lin Feng, as if it had just had a meaningless dream.
"Gah gah gah? (What just happened?)"
Lin Feng, the person involved, was even more bewildered.
He picked up the astrolabe. The magic had almost no effect on him; the only problem was that the magic was too great for his body to handle, causing him to faint.
As for other life forms, it seems that they will crack if touched... No, it's more like a kind of corruption!
"What exactly is this magic?"
……
Enzo, who was shopping for alchemy materials in the shopping district, noticed something.
He smiled as he placed an order for the next batch of materials with the vendor in front of him, a hint of deep consideration in his eyes.
"It's that strange magic again, as dark as a nightmare, yet full of life."
Without realizing it, a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes. "Teacher Sherry, could this magic be the key to your revival?"
"Ah, Mr. Enzo, it seems your recent good news has made you very happy, you've been spacing out so many times."
Enzo nodded, then lied, "Yes, a group of little ones recently arrived at the magic academy, and they're just what I like!"
