Chapter 914 - 909: Sand Crab

Chapter 914: Chapter 909: Sand Crab

Nikkano made efforts to gesture, while pulling out a thick "formula book," attempting to prove his value and that he wasn’t a worthless waste.

Bai Pu also roughly understood his meaning from his gestures.

The magnetic field of the demon crystal involves earth vein energy, which requires the perception through spirit talent, then using the "61 basic magic symbols" to form various complex formulas to calculate.

The final arrangement and combination of the magic symbols will provide the magic compass’s pointer with a preset variable suitable for the earth vein’s magnetic field at that location.

This way, the results given by the magic compass will be more accurate.

Replacing someone who doesn’t understand magic theory, or magic formulas (here referring to Bai Pu), even if they memorize the arrangement and combination of the recent magic symbols (again referring to Bai Pu), they cannot replace a wizard apprentice who has undergone three years of systematic magic theory knowledge study (here referring to Nikkano).

Bai Pu smiled and said, "Mr. Nikkano, you can rest assured. The money to hire you is the boss’s, not mine. I happen to have a bit of spirit talent and know some basics in magic, and I want to learn the knowledge of operating the magic compass from you."

Nikkano looked at Bai Pu with skepticism: "You seemed to have some magic foundation when sketching magic symbols just now... But your magic power is a bit weak, and your spirit power is relatively low."

Ever since Bai Pu used the Earth Dragon Bead, Abyssal Treasure Bead, Wind God Gem, and Heart of Fire Feathers, these four Demon God relics in the Demon Fighting World to cultivate the four major magic cores, it’s the first time a native said his "magic power is weak!"

It seems reasonable, but also quite inappropriate.

The reason lies in the data aspect. Cultivating four major magic cores, Bai Pu’s power is equivalent to the magic level of a "Super Mage" in the Demon Fighting World, which is the "Lord Level" magic power.

However, in the Awakened World, the Lord Level magic power’s basic priority is only 6 points; in the Ascension Plane, it’s just equivalent to the ordinary template native!

Nikkano, being of the Elite Template, indeed has the qualification to say Bai Pu’s "magic power is weak."

Simultaneously, Bai Pu felt it shouldn’t be so, because his magic cores were cultivated using the four major Demon God relics.

What is the concept of a Demon God? It is a Divine Envoy whose "Town Domain" is at least achieved after the True Intent Cultivation stage of evolution reaches seven heavens.

Thus, in the world of evolvers, to have magic power equivalent only to an ordinary native template is very unreasonable.

...

In Bai Pu’s Heart Image Space, the remnant soul of Demon God Fekalo let out a sneering laugh.

"Why are you laughing, Fekalo?"

Bai Pu sent a mental inquiry, "Don’t you think that being a Demon God is quite demeaning? Combining the power of four Demon Gods can’t even surpass a seasoned wizard apprentice’s magic power strength in the Evolver World..."

"You wouldn’t think you’ve unleashed the full might of the Demon God relics, would you?"

Concerned with preserving the honor of a Demon God, Fekalo wasn’t lazy, "Your four Demon God relics in the Tier One Awakened World were suppressed in rank by the rules of the Spirit Realm. Just like Sarajael, it’s only able to exert the power of a One-star King in the Demon Fighting World, it’s suppressed, you understand?"

"Then when I arrive in the Ascension Plane, shouldn’t the Demon God relics be unsealed?" Bai Pu acted naively.

Fekalo chuckled, "Where is such a good thing, what you gained from the world suppression in the Tier One World, will automatically unseal for you in the Tier Two World?

"Well, if you are willing to convert to my god, you could get a way to unseal them. Then your magic power strength would instantly soar to the Lord Level in the Evolver World, with a basic priority of 11 points!"

"I’d rather wait until the evolver stage to consult Gaia’s Will." Bai Pu refused the temptation without hesitation.

...

"Mr. Nikkano, although my magic power is weak and my spirit power is average, I am willing to learn!"

Bai Pu began to leverage his high charm advantage to persuade, "You see, if I learn, I can substitute you in exploration work, wouldn’t you be relieved of the burden? Continuously sketching magic symbols, calculating arrangements is quite tiring, right? I can assist you!"

Nikkano shook his head repeatedly, Bai Pu’s high charm lost its advantage on his end.

In the Dark Tide Plane World, knowledge of the Wizard’s Path is valuable.

Moreover, Nikkano believes teaching Bai Pu would drain his energy lecturing Bai Pu, and Bai Pu might not even be able to learn!

After being rejected, Bai Pu didn’t get anxious.

The journey is still long, and he has enough opportunities.

Bai Pu gently closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

...

A rumbling noise approached, and the mule cart shook violently.

"What’s happening?" Nikkano, who was sitting on the mule cart, said panic-stricken.

The mule cart they were sitting on was ascending slowly!

Bai Pu grabbed Nikkano with one hand, using Illusionary Steps to leap upward.

However, when Illusionary Steps was activated, Bai Pu instantly felt the heavy oppressive pressure of the surrounding air, his jumping height, and air speed were both suppressed by the Power of the World in the Ascension Plane, greatly reduced.

Simultaneously, the consumption when Bai Pu cast Illusionary Steps also doubled!

Hardly able to fly more than ten meters, Bai Pu had to land and put Nikkano down.

Indeed, attempting to soar through the air in the Ascension Plane is extremely difficult!

Bai Pu suddenly thought of Winged Tooth Beast King Da Fei. He wondered if Da Fei’s wings would be affected in the Ascension Plane, whether his flight ability would deteriorate.

"Dior, boss, be careful, it’s the Sand Crab Beast!"

Iron Spine Balrog loyally blocked Bai Pu.

"I can see it."

Bai Pu said reluctantly, nudging Balrog aside.

At this moment, the mule cart was already sent flying by the Sand Crab Beast breaking out from the ground, turning into a rolling gourd, the mule driving it panicked, screaming as it fled.

"Bart! Your team protect the supplies, gather the livestock. Balrog, protect Nikkano, ensure he doesn’t get the slightest injury!"

Bai Pu wielded the Doomsday Spear, "I’ll deal with this Sand Crab, don’t interfere!"

Bai Pu strode forward, swiftly advancing to face the Sand Crab.

[Sand Crab (Elite Level 12)]

[Attributes: Strength 220, Agility 160, Endurance 320, Spirit 100]

[Combat Power: 12390]

This Sand Crab is quite large, reaching seven to eight meters in height. It’s entirely blue-yellow, wielding two huge pincers, its small eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Bai Pu deduced that this creature should possess territorial awareness, lying hidden in the sand beneath. The survey team passing over its head triggered its attack.

Don’t assume the Sand Crab poses no threat, this creature is an outright omnivore, it also eats meat!

Given its size, it’s certainly considering Bai Pu and the others as some kind of small insect-like source of protein.
