Chapter 575 The Protected
The Death Mist's ability to deal with evil spirits was stated in the "Instructions for Use". Although the specific mechanism of action was unclear, the Church would not lie in such a place. If Du Lin's experiment was to create an aura of hatred, then it would not be unusual for the corpse to turn into a demon on the spot. If he didn't want to be attacked by evil spirits as soon as he entered the basement, it would make sense to design such a mechanism.
"I guess most of the evil spirits written in the documents should refer to things of demonic and ghost attributes. If this is the case, the death fog becomes quite valuable." Xia Fan analyzed, "As long as it is used properly, even if it is Ordinary people can also have the means to deal with evil spirits.”
This may also explain from another perspective why the church still collects death fogs even though they are so dangerous.
"Don't study this kind of problem now, just think about how to escape first." Li looked at the exit at the other end of the room, as if thinking about a way to leave, "Since it's fog, maybe we can Hold your breath and rush over. The paperwork also says that as long as it is not inhaled or injected into the body, it should not be a big threat. "
"What if the door is locked when the mechanism is activated?" Qian Yan shook his head, "Since the purpose of the mechanism is to eliminate all moving objects, I don't think it is possible for the other party to leave such a big loophole."
"Then what should we do?" Li asked anxiously.
The air in the ice cap may be able to sustain one person until rescue arrives, but it will definitely not be able to withstand the consumption of three people. If they don't break the situation, they will be dead.
"Let me escort you away." Qian Yan took off his bracelet and tied up his long hair. "I will create two hollow ice balls, wrap you inside, and then push you to the entrance of the passage. Even if the secret door is blocked Even if it’s locked, I’m sure to remove the entire door panel.”
"What about yourself?" Li asked in surprise.
"I am a living dead, and I am much better at resisting damage than you. The mist that can kill ordinary people who sense Qi may only be a little painful for me."
"But it was written on that piece of paper that the damage caused by the death fog to the body is irreversible!"
"Then just discard the damaged parts. The living dead can survive in extremely bad situations. Later, the Fang family's secret repair technique can also bring a severely injured living dead back to life. You should have already done this. Got it." Qian Yan spread his hands, and two ice flowers bloomed silently, "Hurry up."
"But the price of doing this is to lose all memories!" Li couldn't bear to say, "Didn't Qian Zhi forget everything before because of his resurrection?"
"The problem is that there is no better way now!" Qian Yanye rarely raised his voice, "I said, the duty of the living dead is-"
Before she finished speaking, Xia Fan had already taken off her tight bracelet.
A head of black hair fell down again.
"you……"
"I think this is more suitable for you."
All Qian Yan's words suddenly choked in his throat.
"Don't worry," Xia Fan handed the bracelet back to her palm, "It's not yet the point where we have to make sacrifices."
After taking it, she stared at him for a long time before saying, "Do you have a better way?"
"It's hard to say whether it will work, but there is a way." Xia Fan took off the dagger from his waist and inserted it into the ice cap. "Dulin mentioned a variety of formulas and refining methods in the test records, and successfully reduced the The lethal effect of death fog shows that it is not an extremely stable substance and its properties can be changed by external conditions."
"What do you want to do?" Qian Yan asked.
Xia Fan explained his method, "Since it can be changed, let's use the entire basement as a reactor and start with electrolysis."
…
When Qian Yan followed Xia Fan's ideas and rebuilt an ice wall to form a double-layered sealed structure with the ice cap, he thrust the front end of the sword blade out of the ice cap.
The copper wire fell into his palm and turned into green smoke, and then the lines on his arms became clear and hot. This was a complete triple technique - the moment he completed the conception of the Flowing Light Technique, countless electric lights were emitted from the tip of the dagger and connected with other metal furnishings in the room to form an extremely dazzling power grid!
For a moment, the basement seemed to explode.
Under the "licking" of the electric current, the test equipment suddenly burst out into clouds of sparks, and the crackling and exploding sounds were heard endlessly. Some lead products with a lower melting point began to melt, and white smoke emitted from some cabinets inlaid with metal.
At this time, the flow of light technique in Xia Fan's hands is no longer the original basic technique of earthquake attribute - he can now skillfully control the intensity and shape of the current, as well as the duration of the technique. As long as the energy is not exhausted, the flickering power grid will not will be interrupted.
"Look at the ground, the fog has changed color!" Li suddenly said happily, "This method seems to work!"
Qian Yan also noticed this change.
Since the dead fog is sprinkled from the ceiling, the concentration below is higher. At its peak, it looks like a layer of gray-green floating clouds sticking to the ground. But now, the mist is turning into brownish red little by little, and the density is much lighter, revealing the brick pattern of the floor again.
No one knows how lethal these converted death fogs are, but Xia Fan is right about one thing, that is, electrolysis and high temperature can indeed cause significant changes in the properties of the death fog.
She also saw the other party winking at her proudly.
Qian Yan only felt angry and funny for a moment.
But there was another feeling in her heart that she couldn't name.
Over the long years, she has fought side by side with several alchemists and performed her duties perfectly. All of these people are outstanding geniuses among the Qi-sensing people, and they also respect her very much, but no one has ever given her a completely different cooperation experience like Xia Fan.
The characteristic of the living dead is that they can withstand higher trauma. A powerful alchemist will naturally make the most of this to lay the foundation for the victory of the two. As for those alchemists who cannot make full use of their resources, most of them are defeated in the brutal duel, and the living dead who partner with them are not much better, and they will basically be completely killed by the enemy. Therefore, there is a saying in the Fang family that it is better to be scarred every time than to fight with indecisive people.
Because they often break themselves and hurt others.
But the guy who blinked in front of him has nothing to do with indecision.
His intentions are very clear and his actions are quite decisive, but his thinking is very different from that of ordinary people, and it is difficult to measure his actions with normal people's ideas.
Qianyan has a vague illusion.
That is, the other party did not regard her as a living dead.
——He was protecting her.
He was as fragile as a piece of paper, and even Li was ten times stronger than him.
After a hundred years, she became the one being protected for the first time.
