Chapter 320 Transformation (Ⅱ)

The 2nd ring "transformation technique" can only change physical characteristics on a relatively shallow level.

It's a pity that the magic power level of this spell is too low to completely change the body structure from the cellular level, so it can't change the six internal attributes of the human body.

Although Joan looks very strong after becoming an orc, in fact, the big muscles are just a showy display. The real power is not much stronger than the mage form, and it can only be used to bluff people.

Joan then successively turned into common humanoid subspecies such as "dwarf", "dwarf" and "halfling". Generally speaking, except for body shape and appearance, there is no obvious difference from human form in other aspects.

In other words, if you become these common races, the effect of the "transfiguration" is not much different from that of the 1st ring "disguise". the value of.

Compared with the "Disguise" belonging to the Illusion School, the "Transfiguration" belonging to the Change School's greatest value lies in the ability to obtain part of the physical characteristics and racial endowment of the changed object.

Creatures such as elves, dwarves, and orcs have little difference in physiological structure from humans, so when they transform into such creatures, they cannot show the unique advantages of the "transformation technique".

In the next series of transformation tests that Joan conducted, this advantage gradually emerged.

Joan first changed back to the original human form, opened a small cloth bag, and took out a scale slightly larger than a fingernail.

The translucent scales are thin and light blue in color, reminding Joan of calm sea water.

The label states that it is a "mermaid scale".

Although the body structure is very different from that of ordinary people, the mermaid is indeed a kind of "humanoid creature".

Joan held the scales and chanted the incantation, and the body changed drastically. The upper body still maintained the general shape of a human, but below the waist it became a round fishtail, and the body without the support of the legs lay flat on the floor.

Joan supported the floor with both palms, tried her best to straighten her upper body, and moved towards the glass window.

The clumsy lower limbs twisted on the floor, and the wide tail fin slapped the ground with a popping sound.

Joan finally moved to the window, and the figure reflected in the glass was just as he expected.

The whole body is covered with delicate light blue scales, and the hair has also turned into sea blue, like fluffy seaweed. The upper body looks like an aquatic elf, but below the waist it transforms into a big fish.

Such a posture is obviously not suitable for living on land.

Compared with the clumsy lower limbs, what's more terrible is that the respiratory organs of mermaids are very different from those of humans, and they will feel suffocated if they leave the water for a long time.

It was midsummer, the air was hot and dry, and the mermaid's skin needed moisture to keep it moist, so it was particularly easy to get tired in a dry environment.

Qiao An only maintained the "mermaid" state for two minutes, and felt short of breath and dry all over, so he quickly cast "Inner Vision" to observe his own changes.

Sure enough, the health status changed from "good" to "tired".

Fearing that his physical condition would continue to deteriorate, he hastily stopped transforming and changed from the "mermaid" form back to the original form.

The experience of transforming into a "mermaid" for the first time was not very pleasant, but Joan did not underestimate this form.

After all, only in water can mermaids show two unique advantages.

Regardless of whether Joan could swim before transforming into a mermaid, he will automatically master superb swimming skills after transforming into a mermaid.

In addition, he will also gain the ability to breathe underwater, which means that he can swim underwater for a long time after transforming into a mermaid.

When sailing at sea, in case of a storm or pirate plunder, you can rely on this trick to save your life at critical moments.

Joan then picked up another scale.

This scale is smaller than the mermaid's scales, thicker and harder, and it appears dark green in sunlight, almost opaque.

This is a scale taken from a Lizardman.

Joan is no stranger to lizardmen.

The big swamp near his hometown, Delin Town, is the lair of the lizardmen. Joan himself has dealt with this cold-blooded demihuman living in the mud many times.

Under the effect of the spell, Joan used the dark green scale in his hand as a medium to turn into a hideous lizard man with a thick long tail dragging behind his buttocks, which looked like a crocodile standing upright.

Although the appearance of the lizard man is not very good-looking, the racial endowment is quite impressive.

After transforming into a lizardman, Joan mainly gained four benefits.

First of all, the big mouth full of sharp teeth is equivalent to a natural weapon, biting the arms and legs is as easy as a rabbit eating carrots.

The second is the big tail dragged behind the buttocks, like the third leg of a lizardman, which provides a solid support point for the lower body, greatly enhancing the balance of the body, and can easily cross the muddy swamp without worry fall.

The third advantage is that the lizardmen have evolved a breathing system suitable for amphibious amphibious, and can dive with breath-holding for a long time. Of course, their diving skills are still somewhat inferior to those of mermaids who don't need to float to the surface to take a breath.

The most prominent racial talent of lizardmen is a thick layer of scales covering the surface of their bodies.

After Joan became a lizardman, such dark green hard scales grew all over his body, just like wearing a layer of natural armor, which greatly improved his natural defense.

The so-called "innate defense" refers to the natural hardness and toughness of the skin of creatures, such as the carapace of turtles, the feathers of falcons, and of course the hard scales of lizardmen.

The skin of ordinary people is soft and thin, and is easily damaged. The attribute of natural defense is basically zero, and they can only rely on clothes and armor to provide protection.

The lizardman's scale-covered skin is much tougher than human skin. If we use the armor made by humans to compare it, its comprehensive defense power is equivalent to a finely crafted "scale armor".

When Joan turned into a "lizard man", what he valued most was this natural scale armor, which could provide him with more thoughtful protection, which was especially important for mages who were thin and not good at hand-to-hand combat.

Another advantage of the "natural defense" intrinsic feature is that it is compatible with additional armor worn.

For example, lizardmen, although they were born with scale armor, they would not refuse to wear metal armor if conditions permit, to further enhance their defense.

Joan had fought against the lizardman bandits who besieged Delin Town, and he knew how difficult the heavily armed lizardman heavy cavalry was.

If the human reloading warrior is a "tin can", with a hard outer shell and a fragile interior, then a lizardman warrior in armor and armor is a big lump of "iron lumps", which is very hard from the inside to the outside!

Blunt weapons such as warhammers and flails are very effective against human knights, as long as the armor is smashed, they can easily kill the opponent, but they are not so effective against lizardmen - smashing the outer armor, people still have a layer of natural scales First.
