Chapter 4131 Elemental Turret
"I got the Elemental Gem!"
The rabbit girl suddenly looked surprised and her gaze fixed on a certain spot.
Outsiders might find it a bit strange, but Angell and Gray Porcelain understood that the rabbit girl was looking at the information on the text bar.
She stretched out her finger and quickly tapped the information in the text bar.
next second.
A clear light flashed, and five gems radiating a rich earth energy fell from the sky.
She hurriedly clasped her hands together, holding the five elemental gems in her palms.
At the same time, Angor's gaze fell upon the original elemental mineral deposits within the pit.
The elemental ore that was once glowing brightly has now become completely dull.
Angell crouched down and examined it carefully.
Under the concerned gazes of the rabbit girl and the gray porcelain, he gently shook his head: "It's become an abandoned mine and can no longer be used."
When you select the challenge option, you can only obtain five gems of the same element.
It's impossible to find a loophole.
“However, in a way, this is a good thing.” Angel stood up, took an elemental gem from the rabbit girl, examined it carefully, and said slowly, “Elemental gems directly granted by the power of the Fairy Realm are all refined. They are of superior quality.”
To refine such refined elemental gems from raw mineral deposits would require a considerable amount of effort and time.
The powers of the Fairy Realm directly save this step, which can be considered a benefit.
"These five are earth element gems. We still need to find deposits of other elements to obtain the remaining twenty gems."
Each element's deposit can yield only five gems.
Now that the earth element is full, the next elemental mineral deposits they choose will be of other elements.
Angell recalled the distribution of mineral deposits on the map.
Previously, he would specifically choose areas with a large number of mineral deposits, but now, since each element can only yield a maximum of five gems, and these are directly rewarded by Wonderland, there's no need to specifically choose large mines.
Simply select suitable mineral deposits based on their elemental composition.
The Keye mining area is extremely rich in elemental minerals, not limited to the five elements. Besides the common metals (metal, wood, water, fire), there are also lightning, dark, and wind elements…
Therefore, the choice that Angell now has to make is to select the mineral deposits of the remaining four elements.
Before making a selection, Angor looked at the rabbit girl: "Do you know the most common type of elemental attack used by Nereid?"
The rabbit girl thought for a moment and said, "During the battle between Shi Zhen and Nereid, Nereid's most commonly used elemental attacks were wind, lightning, fire, and ice. In addition, he would also buff himself with dark element."
Most of these are not common basic elements.
However, this is understandable. Nereids think in a similar way to rich kids: the rarer something is, the more powerful it is.
Therefore, even though he himself cultivates elemental magic, he still wants to acquire some rare elements.
Rare elements do indeed grant Nereid unparalleled offensive power, but they also bring it a more fatal weakness.
Previously, during their meeting at the Text Manor, they had basically confirmed the method for fighting Nereid: to try to interrupt its elemental chanting, causing it to suffer elemental backlash, and thus wear Nereid down.
The backlash from regular elements is something that an elemental rainbow dragon like Nereid can barely withstand.
However, the powerful attacks brought by rare elements also brought terrible backlash.
Nereid might be able to withstand one or two backlashes, but if it happens too often, it could even cause its flesh and blood to disintegrate and be completely annihilated.
Therefore, Nereid's choice to cultivate rare elements was actually digging a huge hole for himself.
"I understand. We'll go find an anti-element gem that can counter its elemental attacks."
Angel beckoned them to follow.
After returning to the surface from the mine pit, they continued their journey through the side passages of the mine.
As they walked, Angor also recounted some methods for dealing with Nereid.
Although we already had a general idea in the Text Manor, now that we have confirmed the commonly used elements of Nereid, we can further explain the methods to deal with them.
For example, the police tower was instantly killed when it encountered Nereid's "Hurricane Throw" attack.
So how do we deal with this kind of attack?
Trying to dodge with movement techniques? You definitely can't dodge it.
Firstly, the venue has size limitations, and secondly, hurricanes have a pulling force, which restricts movement to a minimum, making it almost useless.
Therefore, there are only two ways to deal with this.
First, use "Wind Shield" directly for protection.
Nereid has poor elemental control; his ability to control elemental interference and elemental concentration gradients is at a novice level. He can avoid the hurricane's intrusion simply by using a wind shield of the same element.
However, a wind shield is definitely not the optimal solution.
The optimal solution is to interrupt Nereid's spellcasting by using inverse element before Nereid can use "Hurricane Throw," causing it to suffer elemental backlash.
“The reverse element of wind, that’s it.” Angell pointed to the earth element gem in the rabbit girl’s hand.
The power of the earth is the reverse element of wind.
"The conventional method is to aim at Nereid's spellcasting core, throw the earth elemental gem at it, and then detonate it."
"But we don't need to follow the conventional methods. I will set up an elemental magic array and directly use the elemental turrets inside to extract the power from the elemental gems and bombard them with elemental cannonballs."
This not only maximizes the use of elemental gems, but also allows for the setting up of magic arrays to auto-aim and fire, increasing the success rate of interrupting spellcasting.
"At that time, all you need to do is stay in the magic energy array and press the launch button."
Gray Porcelain and Rabbit Girl nodded repeatedly. If they could stand still and kill, they would definitely prefer to stand still.
Next, Angor explained the inverse elements of lightning, fire, and ice.
Lightning's inverse elements are wood and earth. Basically, anything that can provide insulation can be used as an inverse element. Therefore, the Earth Cannon can also be used.
As for the inverse elements of fire and ice, there's no need to explain; they already know that.
……
For the next hour, Angell explained tactics while leading them around to mine.
Finally, I successfully obtained five wood-type gems, one water-type gem, one lightning-type gem, and one fire-type gem. Adding this to the earth-type gem I obtained at the beginning, I now have a total of twenty-five gems.
The moment they found the twenty-five gems, all the elemental mines in the entire Keye Mine turned into a gray and abandoned state.
It can no longer be enabled.
At that very moment, the Rabbit Hole team's progress bar jumped forward by a significant amount.
Current completion rate: 20%
It jumped from 1% to 20%!
"Our team should be the fastest progressing through the Nereid level right now, right?" Gray Porcelain looked at the numbers flashing on the text bar, his eyes filled with surprise.
Angel closed his eyes and perceived the outside world from a god-like perspective.
"I don't know the progress of the other teams, but what I do know is that no one has entered the perfect challenge mode yet."
Because the real-life miniature garden is still unoccupied.
Even the half-blooded demon NPC has not yet awakened.
This basically confirms that none of the teams have yet reached the point where the special NPCs awaken.
"But the current progress doesn't matter. What's coming next is the moment when we can really accelerate our progress," Angel said confidently.
Once the elemental magic array is completed, hunting Nereid shouldn't be a problem.
The other teams, however, do not have anyone capable of creating magic arrays!
Uh... I don't think so.
Although Angell felt he had spoken too confidently as soon as he said it, he was still confident that he could surpass all the other teams in Challenge 2.
"Are we going to create a magic array next?" Gray Porcelain asked Angor.
Angell nodded.
Gray Porcelain's lips trembled slightly as he weakly asked a question he had always wanted to ask: "Although I don't understand magic arrays, I've heard that magic arrays need to be set up in a special medium."
For example, on parchment processed using special methods, or on stone slabs capable of holding energy.
But now, all the elemental mineral deposits in the entire Keye mining area have been sealed off by the power of the Fairy Realm. Where can we find a medium that can carry the magic runes?
Also, doesn't magic tattoo require specialized tools?
Gray Porcelain stared at Angor expectantly, trying to ask if the platform for the magic energy array had been prepared before entering the level.
Angell shook his head: "I wasn't prepared."
Gray Porcelain: "???"
How can you inscribe a magic energy array without preparation?
Under Gray Porcelain's suspicious gaze, Angel calmly flipped his hand, and a large number of Nightmare Nodes surged from his palm, rapidly combining and splicing together as if they were alive.
A moment later, a stone slab the size of a chessboard appeared in front of Angell.
The stone slab shimmered with light, and energy rippled around it like water, giving it a magical aura.
Even if Gray Porcelain didn't understand magic runes, he could tell that this was a carrier with excellent energy conductivity.
But this isn't right, is it?
Shouldn't the carrier be a physical object? How did Angell create it so easily using illusion magic while it was all wet?
If illusions can create physical objects, then what use are physical objects?
Hui Ci was completely lost in self-doubt and confusion.
At this moment, the rabbit girl seemed to notice his confusion and whispered in his ear, "Think about Gabriel's illusion doll and you'll understand."
Gabriel's illusion doll was also created by Angor and given to Gabriel.
It can replace Gabriel in making sounds.
Because Gabriel himself is a "jinx," he can only speak through illusion puppets to avoid triggering the power of words and accidentally affecting others.
Even though the illusion doll only has the ability to "speak in place of others," this effect is still very powerful.
After all, illusion dolls need to be connected to Gabriel's mental consciousness, and this ability alone is something that ordinary dolls cannot do.
However, Angor created a puppet with extraordinary effects and the ability to connect with mental consciousness using only illusion magic. This shows that Angor's illusion magic is different from that of others.
Other people's illusions are just illusions.
But Angor's illusion magic seems to have reached the point of... creating fantastical things?!
Keep in mind that this is still the Dream Crystal Plains, a world where everyone's energy level has been weakened.
If Angor's illusion magic is already this advanced, one can imagine that in reality, Angor's illusion magic would probably reach an unbelievable level.
Is this person even human?
At this moment, Gray Porcelain deeply realized just how powerful and terrifying Angel's illusion magic was.
It was at this moment that Gray Porcelain understood why neither Laplace nor the others seemed worried about the challenge of this level. They didn't even bother to collect the Wonderland items before entering.
With a super-strong foreign aid like Angel, how could we possibly get stuck?
Gray Porcelain even had a premonition that Angel might be able to clear the level even without using the elemental gems in the level?
My hunch about gray porcelain was right.
Not only Angel, but the Rabbit Girl can also clear the game without relying on elemental gems.
Before entering the dungeon, Angor had the rabbit girl bring the elemental scrolls of various elements that he had left behind when he used the Dream Conch to pull the Dream Crystal Plains in when he killed the Dream Realm Slayer.
Even without the assistance of elemental gems, they can still clear the level using elemental scrolls.
However, considering that the "Dream Conch" is still hidden, and that there are a lot of elemental gems in the Keye mining area, we can use the materials on the spot and there is no need for the elemental scroll.
The gray porcelain and the rabbit girl stopped talking and quietly retreated to a distance to avoid disturbing Angor as he inscribed the magic array.
After creating a basic supporting stone slab using imaginary alchemy, Angor also casually crafted a carving brush and began silently inscribing a magic energy array.
He plans to inscribe two magic arrays on two separate stone slabs.
One is used for attack, and the other is used for defense.
Of course, Angor could gather them onto a single stone slab... but imaginary creations, whether in reality or in the Dream Crystal Plains, have significant energy limitations.
Inscribing a composite magic array on the medium of a fantasy creation will directly cause the creation to collapse.
Therefore, he could only carve on two separate stone slabs.
The magic array used for attack is called: [Elemental Turret].
It's called an attack, but it doesn't actually do much damage to Nereid. Its main purpose is to interrupt its spellcasting and cause it to suffer elemental backlash.
The effects include: element penetration and aiming lock.
The defensive magic array is called the "Elemental Field" by Angor.
The name sounds grand, but in reality, it simply means that after activation, you will be placed in different elemental fields.
Moreover, the defensive effect of this field is not particularly strong, but as long as it can interfere with Nereid's elemental attacks, then it is effective.
There were a total of twenty-five gems, fifteen of which were used on the elemental turrets and ten on the elemental fields.
Thanks to the doubling effect of the magic energy array, it's basically possible to fire thirty shots with fifteen gems.
Ten elemental gems can create twenty elemental field shields.
In other words, they have thirty opportunities to attack and twenty opportunities to defend. If even that doesn't make Nereid turn on them and kill them, then they'll have no choice but to accept it.
