MTL - Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 237 ball lightning

Chapter 237 Ball Lightning

 “There has never been such a rich battle.”

Ji Xinghuo looked at the information about the abilities on the interface and felt happy. Except for the rotating magnetic field, he could upgrade any ability he wanted.

 He chose the electrostatic field first without hesitation.

 【Electrostatic field (Level 3 2030/8089)】

This is one of the two professional cores alongside the rotating magnetic field. Only by combining the two can the greatest power be exerted. Naturally, it is best to go hand in hand.

 Ji Xinghuo immediately invested his spiritual energy.

 The progress of the electrostatic field was advancing rapidly, and he immediately noticed that the radius of his electrostatic field was expanding.

 Originally it was about fifteen meters, but soon it reached twenty meters, twenty-five meters... When the upgrade progress reaches full, the radius of the electrostatic field becomes thirty meters!

 Then pause.

Ji Xinghuo waited patiently for a few minutes, clearly sensing the upgrade changes in his mind, and his efficiency in converting star power into electric charges was significantly improved.

 The range of controllable charges is also expanded and the number is also increased.

Immediately, the information was updated to [Static Electric Field (Level 4 1/50069)], which is the same as the mental source energy required to upgrade the rotating magnetic field.

 “Fifty meters away!”

Ji Xinghuo was delighted. The radius of the fourth-level electrostatic field was larger than expected.

 Within fifty meters, you can control lightning as you wish.

He tried to stimulate the rotating magnetic field together, and the two situations became one. Suddenly, one was mapped in his mind, which was composed of two independent but unified electromagnetic fields. It has two radii, an electromagnetic induction range of about five kilometers, and one is The control range is about fifty meters.

 Control charge and metal!

Ji Xinghuo didn't need to look at it with his eyes. He could more clearly perceive the steel javelin in Qinghong's saddlebag. He knew that he could exert stronger force on it without specifically testing it.

 He can attach a large amount of charge to the metal to form an electric current, causing it to heat, change, and melt!

 Turn your palms up.

 Concentrate your mind, and in an instant, the star power in your body is transformed into countless electric charges, which are gathered in the palm of your hand.

A bolt of lightning took shape immediately, but it did not cause a huge movement like natural lightning. It seemed to be soothed and hovered quietly on the palm of the hand. More and more lightnings were generated and added to it, but the size did not become much larger, but it changed. Became an irregular shape.

Ji Xinghuo's eyes became more focused. After more than ten seconds, the lightning on his palm turned into a ball.

Ball lightning!

It is only about five centimeters in diameter, about the same as a table tennis ball. It is inconspicuous and does not make a particularly noticeable sound.

However, Ji Xinghuo is very aware of its power.

The small ball lightning contains one-third of its own star power, which is about 300 points. When it is released instantly, the lethality must be terrible.

Ji Xinghuo looked around.

 Some mercenaries have already sensed the danger and cast their eyes on themselves.

 He can only remove the ball lightning and convert it into star power back into his own body.

  This is the new ability gained after the electrostatic field reaches level four. The conversion between star power and charge becomes reversible and depends on one's own will.

Think of this.

Ji Xinghuo suddenly had an idea, could he convert the electric charge from the outside world into his own star power?

This idea popped up and grew like a weed.

If possible, wouldn’t that be a way to quickly increase star power?

 “Probably not.”

Ji Xinghuo shook his head secretly. The charge he controlled was still essentially star power, a charge simulated by star power, so it could be transformed in reverse.

 The external charge is a physical property, which is completely different.

 Although he didn't have great expectations, he still had a bit of luck and decided to try it when no one was around.

  Upgrading the electrostatic field to level four, the power and range of the Thunder Runner are also increased. When combined with the Flash Step, the distance is also increased, and more application skills can be developed.

Ji Xinghuo couldn’t wait to try it right away.

 But he still suppressed his thoughts and continued to upgrade his abilities.

 After some thought, Ji Xinghuo chose to upgrade the dimensional stomach bag.

This is his only meteorite power, [Dimensional Stomach Bag (Level 19/5101)]. Just reaching the second level, the required spiritual energy is more than 5,000 points, which is more than other powers at the second level. It's several times more, and I haven't invested in it since the last upgrade.

“It’s just more than 5,000 points of spiritual energy, upgrade now!”

Ji Xinghuo invested his spiritual energy. As the dimensional stomach bag progressed forward, he could feel the capacity of the space slowly increasing every second.

 Because it is a shared ability, Qinghong also noticed the change.

 It looked back while running, and Ji Xinghuo patted the scales on its back to calm it down.

The space of the second-dimensional stomach bag is about 4 cubic meters. With the upgrade, the space expands and gets bigger little by little. This process reminds Ji Xinghuo of "cosmic expansion". Space is not expanding outwards, but expanding itself, creating something out of nothing. .

 Not long after, the dimensional stomach bag rose to level three.

 【Dimensional stomach bag (Level 3 1/41141)】

"so much!"

Ji Xinghuo looked at the updated information on the interface and couldn't help but feel speechless. The star meteor ability was different. It would take more than 40,000 spiritual energy to upgrade to the third level.

 The space of the third-dimensional stomach bag has expanded to 8 cubic meters, which is double that of the second-level stomach bag.

He sensed the huge boulder hidden in the dimensional stomach bag. The boulder originally occupied most of the space, but now it is much wider and can accommodate a lot more things.

Of course, it can also store larger and heavier boulders, which will be more lethal when smashed out.

 Other than doubling the space, there are no other new abilities.

 The opening channel of the dimensional stomach bag was originally the size of a palm. After the upgrade, it expanded by one-third. It is still very small and has not undergone any qualitative change.

Ji Xinghuo was a little puzzled.

The Rotating Magnetic Field is just an ultra-limited ability, with new abilities every time it is upgraded; while the Dimensional Stomach is a meteoric ability, but after upgrading it is mediocre.

 Only then did he realize that there was a huge difference between superpowers and there were no inherent rules.

 The level of the ability is not the only criterion.

 There are still 29090 points of spiritual energy left.

“We can’t use them all.” Ji Xinghuo thought to himself, “In the past, there was always not enough spiritual energy, so we used as much as we had. Now we have more than enough, and we can leave some for the newly fused powers.”

“You can gain a lot more in the future, so you don’t have to keep so much.”

 “Use some more.”

Ji Xinghuo chose two abilities that did not cost much to upgrade, [Thunder Hand (Level 4: 78/2833)] and [Star Strength (Level 3: 303/1567)], and invested more than 4,000 points of spiritual energy to give Ben Lei Shou and Xing Jin each improved by one level.

 The interface information has been updated to: [Thunder Runner (Level 5 1/10333)]

 【Star Strength (Level 4 1/7717)】

 After the upgrade, the power of the two abilities has been improved a bit, but it is not convenient to test now, so Ji Xinghuo can only give up.

 Then he upgraded Qinghong's "Gravity Mutation" and "Spirit Smell", which consumed more than 3,600 points of spiritual energy.

 There are 21,388 points left.

"So be it."

 Ji Xinghuo decided to stop upgrading.

 My strength is enough to protect myself in this **** battle. The upgrade is too fast, and there is no time to explore and adapt to many things.

 When the **** battle is over, if you can save 100,000 points of spiritual energy, then upgrade both the rotating magnetic field and the electrostatic field to one level. Level 5 electromagnetic fields are not only more powerful, they should also have new abilities!

 Throughout the morning, Ji Xinghuo followed the Highlander army for more than 200 kilometers and only rested once. When it was close to noon, the next attack target was not far away, but unexpectedly, this Biao settlement took the initiative to attack.

More than a thousand Biao tribe lurked behind a relatively low hill, waiting for the army of the Angry Blood Tribe to pass by, and then killed them when they were halfway there.

 Because the hills are far away and there are masters among the Biao tribe who are good at creating phantoms, He Yan and the Highlanders' scouts did not notice it.

Ji Xinghuo had noticed it a long time ago, but did not reveal it.

 An encounter began.

The gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves was too large. Although the Biao were the ones who took the initiative to attack, they immediately launched a counterattack after the highlanders stabilized their position.

Ji Xinghuo didn't put in much effort and worked with the mercenaries to repel the enemy.

 The battle lasted half an hour.

 The Bloodfury tribe once again won victory, but at a high price.

Nearly 2,000 Highlanders died, almost as much as in one battle, while the Biao tribe was completely wiped out, with a battle loss ratio of one to two.

 The number of mercenaries has also been reduced by more than twenty.

Ji Xinghuo and the others were safe and sound. In this battle, he gained more than 24,000 points of spiritual energy, and the value on the interface nearly doubled!

 After the battle, more than a dozen Red Emperor blood crystals were produced.

He Yan collected the blood crystals and put them all into the animal skin bag he carried close to his body.

 Leaving the battlefield, He Yan led his army to the Biao settlement and found that it was already empty, so he could only burn it and destroy it.

 The march since then has not been smooth.

  The Biao tribe changed their strategy and divided into multiple small teams, launching attacks at intervals along the way. There is also a legend that the Biao tribe single-handedly rushed into the blood-wrath tribe's army and started killing. They didn't bother with He Yan. They killed a few people and immediately fled away.

There are also Biao assassins who are good at hiding, constantly harassing and assassinating people along the way.

He Yan did not sit still and wait for death.

There are also assassins among the highlanders who are good at reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance. They are sent out in batches to find the Biao tribe, setting up ambushes and killing them. The two sides go back and forth around the marching route, and each side wins or loses.

Ji Xinghuo's electromagnetic induction mastered all the movements around him.

 But he didn't say anything.

 Silently observing these Red Emperor believers playing the death game, it was a pity that many of them died too far away and failed to absorb the spiritual energy.

 At night, He Yan chose a valley to camp and arranged a strict vigil and patrol.

The Biao tribe’s assassination and harassment continued.

 When it turned into a starry night, the army of the Bloodfury tribe moved on again. After setting up camp for the past ten hours, the number of soldiers had been reduced by three to four hundred.

Of course, the Biao tribe also left many corpses.

 Whether they are highlanders or mercenaries, they are mentally prepared for this and no one will flinch.

 Advancing with death and blood all the way, when we arrived at the scheduled third Biao settlement, we found that all the enemies had withdrawn.

Even, the Biao people themselves burned down the settlement.

He Yan looked at the black smoke on the mountainside, expressionless, and ordered: "Speed ​​up and go straight to the giant peak of the Red River."

 Everyone understands what's going on.

The Skullcrusher tribe has retreated to the Red River Giant Peak, where they will concentrate their efforts on a decisive battle with the Bloodrage tribe.

 Shortly after dawn.

A vague and huge mountain shadow appeared on the horizon ahead. As the distance got closer, the outline of the mountain gradually became clearer. It could be seen that it was a giant peak, standing like a pillar of heaven on the earth. Even on the **** plateau with countless peaks, it was so There are not many high mountains, which stand out like chickens.

 From more than a hundred kilometers away, you can still see the reflected snow light on the top of the mountain.

As we move towards the giant peak, we are faced with a huge sense of oppression. The closer we get, the more majestic and shocking we can feel.

 At the foot of the mountain more than ten kilometers away from the giant peak, you already have to look up to see its peak.

 Really towering into the sky!

Ji Xinghuo looked at the clouds and mist surrounding the waist of the giant peak and couldn't help but marvel: "It is indeed a wonder in the astral world. The drop must be more than 20,000 meters."

There is a sea in the star realm, but it cannot be measured accurately, so there is no altitude data.

 The height difference from the peak to the foot of the mountain can only be measured visually.

 The highest peak on earth, Mount Everest, has a vertical drop of less than 4,000 meters. However, the giant peak in front of you has a vertical drop that is five times that of Mount Everest!

Xia Qingyu said: "On the Bloody Plateau, the height of the giant peak of the Red River can also be ranked among the top ten."

 “Just the top ten?” Ji Xinghuo was surprised.

"Haha..." Xia Qingyu showed off his knowledge, "Just in the eastern part of the plateau, there are two mountains higher than the Red River Giant Peak. One is Thunderstorm Peak, about 1,300 kilometers southwest of Tianchui Cliff, and the other is Gangdamuge Peak. , I have been to 800 kilometers from here to the north."

Ji Xinghuo listened with interest and asked: "Where is the highest peak of the Bloody Plateau?"

"The southwest part of the plateau, about 16,000 kilometers away from Tianchui Cliff, is called Red Emperor Blood Mountain." Xia Qingyu replied, "It is a holy land for highlander believers. The vertical drop should be more than 30,000 meters. It is the most powerful place on the plateau. controlled by the 'blood-slaying tribe'."

"you've been to?"

"No." Xia Qingyu said truthfully, "It's too far, there are too many dangers on the road, and there is no need for me to go to the Red Emperor Blood Mountain. I can just hang out in the eastern part of the plateau."

As the two of them talked, they were getting closer and closer to the giant peak of the Red River.

The reason why it is called the Red River Giant Peak is because at the foot of this mountain, there is a rushing river. The turbid water is reddish, and it looks like a river of blood from a distance.

 So the Red River refers to this river.

 On this side of the river, an army has been stationed along the flat river bank more than ten kilometers long.

They were other troops of the Blood Fury Tribe that had arrived at the Hehong Giant Peak earlier. They numbered more than 20,000. He Yan led the troops to join together, bringing the total to 30,000.

Opposite the river bank is the most important political and population gathering center of the Skullcrusher tribe. A large-scale tribe has been built between the two ridges of the giant peaks of the Red River. The Biao people built a city wall with huge stones and logs, surrounding the outer edge of the ridge, forming a crude defense line.

The bridges on the river were demolished, making it difficult for the army to cross the river for a while.

Across the river, you can see many Biao tribesmen on the other side operating outside the tribe, digging trenches and traps, setting up defense lines, and a Biao tribe patrolling the other side.

Ji Xinghuo observed these Biao people.

 The proportion of third-level evolvers is very high, reaching almost half, which is much higher than that of the Highlanders of the Bloodrage tribe.

However, the Highlanders had an absolute numerical advantage.

 A few hours later, another Highlander army arrived at the Red River Giant Peak, with nearly 20,000 people and better equipment. They were the core army of "Gurok", the chief of the Bloodrage tribe.

 But Gurok did not attack.

Instead, they camped on the river bank for a night. The next day, the allies of the Bloodrage tribe arrived.

 The Sharptooth Tribe and the Heart-Eating Claw Tribe are both highlanders who believe in the Red Emperor, but their **** tattoos are slightly different. These two tribes brought 20,000 and 30,000 Highlander warriors respectively, bringing the number of troops on the shore to 100,000, a real army of 100,000!

The camp was spread out along the Red River and was more than ten kilometers long.

Ji Xinghuo and the mercenaries were stationed in the middle of the camp. From his position, the electromagnetic induction spread out, just enough to cover the entire military camp.

He senses the magnetic field of more than 100,000 humanoids within the range, and it is difficult to suppress his surging heart.

 In his eyes, these are all spiritual energy!

 “Fight! Kill!”

"It's best to beat out your brains, bleed all your blood, and contribute hundreds of thousands of spiritual energy to me!" Ji Xinghuo looked at the Biao tribe on the other side of the river, his eyes full of expectation.
