I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 89

Chapter 89

Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!

Fang Bai shook his head slightly, looking at the three spell models and three crystal cores in the room.

Attracted by the spell models, the surrounding elemental power continuously converged onto them, circulating along their structures, and finally flowing entirely into the crystal cores.

Simultaneously, the elemental power within the crystal cores flowed out from the other end into the spell models, diffusing into the environment through elemental channels and nodes during the circulation process, interacting with the elemental power in the environment.

One inhalation and one exhalation, it was like breathing.

Or rather, it was breathing. This was the elemental breathing that belonged to magical beasts.

The spell models and crystal cores jointly guided this breathing method. The interacting elemental power continuously tempered the magical beast’s body, passively enhancing its strength.

However, now that this system had been extracted, they were merely interacting with the elemental power in the environment, influencing the surrounding elemental power.

“If one day this set of spell models and crystal cores can be perfectly implanted into Wang Kai and the others, then they can become stronger while sitting or lying down. This Knight class would then be considered complete.”

“But implantation…”

Many things were easier said than done.

How to choose the implantation medium, how to stabilize the elemental nodes and channels, how to resolve rejection reactions, how to solve the problem of the elemental model changing with the posture of the person, and so on.

These were all problems. If these problems were not solved, implantation would be empty talk, without any possibility.

This was completely different from temporarily using spell models for cultivation.

Fang Bai glanced at the crystal cores.

“Huh? Are they about to recover?”

Fang Bai immediately reacted. The three crystal cores not only did not affect each other during recovery, but instead produced a mutual amplification effect, increasing the recovery speed.

Fang Bai made a quick calculation, and the result surprised him.

“The crystal cores are almost full. It probably only took about ten hours, right?

But even if the crystal cores are restored, it’s useless. Wang Kai and the others’ bodies can’t handle it, they can’t withstand it. If only there was another way to accelerate the healing of their injuries.”

“Healing skills? Medicine?”

“I haven’t even heard of healing skills, let alone seen them. As for medicine, I can see if I can find an old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine to prescribe some herbal medicine.

Forget it, if it really doesn’t work, I’ll just export some of this elemental power into the manuscript, or consume it myself to enhance my physique. It shouldn’t be wasted.”

Fang Bai pondered, lost in thought, when his mental power suddenly sensed something unusual.

“Why are the elements in this room so strange? There’s so much earth elemental power. Is it because of these three crystal cores?”

The elements in Fang Bai’s room were originally a mix of everything, with no particular element dominating. But now, as time went on, the proportion of earth elemental power in the room was actually increasing.

Moreover, these earth elements felt slightly different, as if they were more obedient and easier to control.

This directly led Fang Bai to focus on the three crystal cores.

“The place where crystal cores gather will lead to an increase in the concentration of a certain element. This is easy to understand.

It’s just that this special feeling now… Is it because the spell models are constructed by my mental power, and these elements have interacted with the spell models, they are all elements that have been breathed by the spell models, so they are closer to me and easier to control?”

Fang Bai quickly found the key to the problem. After a little experimentation, he found that the speed at which he controlled the elements to construct spell models and the speed at which the spell models absorbed elemental power after they were formed had both increased. It was at least one to two seconds faster than before.

Of course, this was only limited to the earth element spell, Blood-red Shield, but this was still enough to surprise Fang Bai.

“Does this mean that if I expand this earth element to all elements, within this range, the casting time of all my spells can be reduced?”

Fang Bai had a sudden inspiration and even thought of another method of operation.

“This is just the unconscious breathing behavior of the crystal cores. The traces left by the spell models are not very strong.

If I strengthen the mental power traces left on the elemental power, can I further increase my casting speed?

Then, wouldn’t others be unable to mobilize these elemental powers, or find it very difficult to do so?”

Although one or two seconds didn’t seem like much, two seconds for him and two seconds for the opponent would be four seconds. A four-second gap was enough for Fang Bai to cast another Fireball.

After all, it wasn’t just mages who cast spells. The operating principle of all professional skills was to utilize elemental power. They were essentially the same.

“This situation must be cultivated in the same place for a long time to be practical. Then perhaps it can be called the Nest Phenomenon, or the Home Field Advantage.”

Fang Bai pondered.

“The lairs of some powerful magical beasts may also have similar situations, leading to an increase in the magical beast’s strength and a suppression of the challenger’s strength.”

“Perhaps I can try to gradually transform the village into my home field, thereby establishing a certain degree of home field advantage.”

As Fang Bai was thinking, he noticed that Wang Xiong had already walked to his door, so he immediately opened it.

Wang Xiong was surprised to see that Fang Bai had opened the door before he could even knock, but then he said,

“Village Chief, we found something strange!

But it’s guarded by a bull, and we can’t beat it. Do you want to go and have a look?”

“What good stuff is it, and it’s even guarded by a bull?”

“A tree…”

As soon as Wang Xiong spoke, Fang Bai was slightly taken aback. Having just finished making spell scrolls, he was quite sensitive to the word “tree.”

Elemental wood?

Fang Bai’s heart stirred.

“What’s the specific situation? What does this tree look like?”

Wang Xiong quickly explained the situation on site to Fang Bai.

According to Wang Xiong’s description, the tree should be a small willow tree. The whole tree had turned red, and the willow leaves on the tree had all turned into flames. But the flames didn’t burn the tree, they just hung on the branches in clusters and burned.

“The bull next to the tree is almost three meters tall, and its whole body is covered in flames. Its pair of horns almost pierced our leader’s butt, and it can also spit out fireballs. It’s very powerful.

We originally planned to directly drive the excavator and dig up the tree in front of the bull.

But the excavator is too slow, and the fireball is too powerful, so it’s not easy to operate. There are always people at the entrance of our village, and we’re afraid that the commotion will be too big and others will come to snatch it, so I came to find you first.”

“Hmm, good, well done.”

Fang Bai nodded upon hearing this, his heart filled with joy.

“According to this description, it must be an Elemental Magic Plant, which is also called Elemental Wood, or simply Spirit Wood?

That bull… Is it a magical beast?”

“Wonderful!”

Fang Bai followed Wang Xiong out of an exit at the back of Yi Hao Village and quickly headed northwest. During the journey, his mental power constantly covered a radius of one hundred meters for vigilance.

The place was not close. Even at Fang Bai and Wang Xiong’s speed, it took them a full fifteen minutes to reach their destination. There was a small hillside covered with trees. After crossing the hillside, Fang Bai saw Wang Kai and the fireball and willow tree in front of him.

The willow tree was similar to the description, a small willow tree, but…

“Why is it so small?”

But then a surprised expression appeared on Fang Bai’s face. His mental power sensed something…
