Chapter 1220 Spiral Rune

The sonic boom reverberated in the cave, causing the stalactites hanging upside down on the dome to break and fall like hailstones.

Under the impact of the "shattering sound wave", the crystal python couldn't help shaking its body violently.

The magic crystal ore that constitutes the spine of the crystal python could not withstand the sound wave bombardment, and accompanied by a series of crackling sounds of glass shattering, it fell apart piece by piece.

The huge and heavy body of the crystal python lost the support of its spine, like a building whose load-bearing columns were taken away, collapsed and disintegrated on the spot, turning into rubble on the ground.

Blue smoke rose from the ruins of crystal python corpses and slowly dispersed.

"Huh... finally killed this monster, it's really thrilling!"

Klein dropped his warhammer and large shield, wiped off his sweat, and a relieved smile appeared on his tired face.

Joan also let out a long sigh of relief. Feeling exhausted after a little relaxation of the tense nerves, he took out a bottle of potion prepared in advance with "Tears of God" from the storage bag and poured it down his throat to relieve fatigue.

Audrey, Holden and Scholz also looked very tired and sat down to rest on the spot.

Only Hailar, after going through a dangerous and bitter battle, was still very energetic. He ran to the ruins piled up with crystal python corpses, and rummaged through the rubble with his eyes shining.

"Hey! Look what I found!" Hailar picked up the broken horn of the crystal python from the ruins, and asked everyone excitedly: "This horn looks different from ordinary ore. Is it a gem?"

"Little girl, show it to me."

Klein waved to Hailar.

Hyrule carried the blue unicorn on his shoulder, ran over and handed it to the dwarf brother.

Klein picked up the two-foot-long light blue crystal horn, looked it up and down in front of the miner's lamp, weighed it again, and murmured:

"This thing is essentially a raw magic crystal, but the purity is much higher than ordinary ore. Judging from its refractive index and transparency, the purity should not be lower than 1%."

"That is to say, the magic crystal content in this horn is only 1%?" Hailar looked disappointed, and said angrily: "It's far from the industrial magic crystal with a purity of 10%, which makes me happy for nothing." !"

"Little girl, you can't say that. An average of 100 tons of raw magic crystals can be purified to produce 1 pound of industrial magic crystals, and the price is as high as 10,000 Gold Durga."

"The horn of the crystal python weighs 20 pounds, which is at least equivalent to 2 pounds of industrial magic crystals. If you convert it like this, it's still very valuable!"

Klein said cheerfully.

"That's true!" Hailaer became excited again after hearing his calculation, "If we can hunt a few more crystal pythons, we will get rich!"

"You've got it! It took us a lot of effort to kill one crystal python. If there are a few more, we will have to confess here if we don't guarantee our lives."

Holden is very disdainful of Hailar's unrealistic idea.

"Instead of fighting desperately with the crystal python, it's better to explore the mine veins in a down-to-earth manner, find a rich mine, and sell the mining rights. At least we can share 30,000 to 50,000 yuan each, wouldn't it be flattering?"

"Brother Holden is right. Our main mission is prospecting. The crystal python blocks our way, so we have to fight it desperately. If I have a choice, I don't want to provoke this terrifying monster." Xiao Er Ci said with lingering fear.

"Hey! It's boring to listen to you talk!"

Hailar felt that he was bored, so he simply ran back to the corpse of the crystal python and continued to search for the spoils.

Klein weighed the crystal python's horns and handed it to Joan.

"Brother, there are uniform threads on the surface of this thing. I can't tell whether it is a natural or artificial product. You can identify it."

Joan took the heavy unicorn, laid it flat on his knees, freed his right hand to unscrew the pen, drew the No. 4 rune Ansuz on the smooth crystal stubble at the root of the unicorn, and concentrated on identifying it.

After a long time, Qiao An let out a breath slowly, and his face became a little weird.

"Joan, what do you see?" Holden asked curiously.

Qiao An didn't answer right away, she calmed down her turbulent mood and cleared her mind before speaking slowly.

"If I'm not mistaken, the threads engraved on the surface of this spar's horn are not decorative patterns, but a very complicated enchanting process."

"Oh? In other words, this thing is a man-made magic device?" Klein couldn't help raising his thick eyebrows, and asked with interest: "Brother Joan, tell me, what's so special about this spar horn?" Function?"

"There are two main functions. First, it can be used as a magic sensor to detect the surrounding environment and creatures, which are equivalent to the eyes and ears of creatures."

"It's not surprising. When I was fighting the crystal python just now, I found that it relied on its horns to detect our location, just like the antennae of an insect." Audrey said softly.

"In addition to the detection function, this horn also has the function of condensing and stimulating the energy of the mind. The crystal python uses the horn on the top of its head to stimulate the 'psychic blast' in battle. Without this horn, perhaps it can still display this ability , but the range and attack range will certainly be severely weakened."

"So that's it..." Audrey rested her chin on her hands, thoughtfully, "According to this, this horn seems to be very suitable as the embryo material of a spiritual weapon, used to enhance the range and damage of mental attacks and psychic powers scope."

Of course, Joan knew that the "spiritual weapon" Her Royal Highness mentioned was a magic tool with psychic powers attached, but he was not good at psychic powers, nor had he learned the craft of making spiritual weapons.

Just judging from the spiral runes on the horns, it is not limited to be effective only for psionic powers, and it seems that magic or supernatural abilities that affect the mind can also be benefited. If he had the choice, he would rather try to enchant this spar horn with enchantment control magic, such as "Colorful Spray" or "Human Immobilization", which should also be able to obtain a strengthening effect.

These are secondary, and what surprised Joan even more was that this horn exuded a very familiar aura.

That's right, it's the "power of myth"!

To be precise, the spiral runes engraved on the surface of the horn contain mythical energy. Although it is not as abundant as the energy of "Tears of God", it can at least show that it is a mythical magic tool.

After an in-depth appraisal, Joan discovered that the spiral runes on the horns of the crystal python resemble runes to some extent, and can be used to enchant magic, psychic powers or supernatural abilities, and provide enhanced effects.

But there is one significant difference between the two.

Rune runes do not require additional energy supply during the drawing process, and their corresponding functions can be realized automatically after drawing. For example, Ansuz, the No. 4 rune rune most commonly used by Joan, can exert its identification effect as long as it is painted on the surface of the item.

But the spiral rune on the horn of the crystal python is not like this. It is useless to just copy the rune. It must inject a "mythical power" while drawing it to provide it with activation energy. After that, the spiral rune will be activated , get the two functions of "magic sensor" and "strengthening mind effect".

So here comes the problem.

Who is the person who injected this "mythical power" into the horns of the crystal python?
