494: Chapter 494 The Sacred Beast of Reis
Unfortunately, there was still too little data, and Nie Ning did not know if the natives of this world had other methods of using Holy Runes.
If they didn't, then that group of natives would be in for a miserable time.
What Wizards loved most was deciphering this kind of single-style Runic Formula, and this was a very simple matter.
Even if they could not use the Sacred Rune Armament, Wizards would still find its weaknesses and turn the Sacred Rune Armament into a graveyard for the natives.
Nie Ning raised his hand to look at it; the patterns in his palm began to grow and change, shifting from a single blue Runic Formula into a white, composite formula resembling branching tree limbs.
If one observed carefully, a faint, colorful halo emanated from its surroundings.
Unfortunately, it could only be stacked nine times.
Because once it reached ten layers, the entire arm would be obliterated from being unable to withstand it, and the speed would be even more violent than using Chaos Fusion normally.
Furthermore, it would spread along the Runic Formula of the Sacred Rune Armament to other limbs; the only way to stop it was to sever the affected body part before it spread.
...
Nie Ning left the basement and found that it was very lively outside, with even the Transcendent of the Yin-Yang Sect, who usually had nothing to do with them, appearing at the Extreme Phase Demon Palace camp.
Seeing this, Nie Ning flew forward in confusion to investigate.
The first thing he saw was Garcia, who had previously gone out.
"Back so soon?"
Exploring a world was a very tedious project; even if they were only scouting roughly, it was impossible to return in just a few days.
At this moment, Garcia was talking to a High-level Wizard in the camp, but Nie Ning was quickly attracted by something else.
It was a creature resembling a calf, without horns, covered in white fur, with a special and complex four-colored pattern faintly visible on it.
A look of surprise flashed in Nie Ning's eyes.
Recently, he hadn't found any composite Sacred Rune Armaments near the camp, so he hadn't expected Garcia to have gone out and caught one.
He sensed the aura of the white calf.
Not bad, it was around the Fifth Rank.
Nie Ning's eyes transformed into the Pupils of Corruption, his eye sockets covered by a large number of strange eyeballs.
At the same time, the energy circuit of the Sacred Rune Armament on the white calf came into view.
Although it was only a four-layer Holy Rune, its energy intensity already exceeded his nine-layer Holy Rune.
"It seems that the native creatures have a higher adaptability to this kind of composite Runic Formula."
Nie Ning stood in the crowd and muttered to himself in a low voice.
Although he had never seen other composite Holy Runes, and the intensity was higher than he had expected, this was perfectly normal.
Over the years, he had more or less figured out the operating principle of Supernatural Adaptability.
Things suitable for other creatures were not necessarily suitable for him, and Supernatural Adaptability only extracted the parts that were beneficial to him.
It could be understood that some things were conflicting, and the role of Supernatural Adaptability was to eliminate unstable factors, thereby allowing him to reach a "perfect" state.
Therefore, the abilities he acquired, including those special constitutions, were not as strong as those of the original creatures.
But the most brilliant part of Supernatural Adaptability was right here: the abilities he acquired could be stacked infinitely.
Now, years had passed, and this stacking state was still continuing, causing all his stats to far exceed the average for his rank.
Except for those seed players from top forces who ate heavenly treasures like meals, Nie Ning believed that no one in the same rank could defeat him.
...
Withdrawing the Pupils of Corruption, Nie Ning squeezed forward and found Lovsky, who was also in the logistics department.
"What's the situation? Why are they back so soon?"
Nie Ning transmitted his voice to Lovsky.
Even if they had caught a rare species of this world, the whole team shouldn't have returned; they just needed to send two people to bring it back.
Moreover, the exploration team members' expressions did not look very good; they had clearly encountered obstruction outside.
Lovsky shook his head: "I'm not too sure. I heard they encountered a powerful native creature and were driven back."
Nie Ning raised an eyebrow slightly.
"As expected, it wasn't a normal return."
Moreover, Garcia could fight a 7th-Rank Wizard; an opponent capable of making Garcia return was likely very strong.
Of course, it was also possible that the world's suppression was too strong, forcing Garcia to return to seek reinforcements.
His gaze returned to that white "calf"; its round eyes carried a fierce aura, and it kept baring its teeth to threaten the people around it.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~"
Nie Ning couldn't help but make a small "tsk" sound twice.
"What are you doing? Do you think it's a dog?"
Lovsky, beside him, was speechless.
"Just a habit, just a habit." Nie Ning scratched his head in embarrassment.
There was no help for it; this was probably the animal language he was most proficient in.
However, what was surprising was that the little calf actually stopped baring its teeth and instead tilted its head to look at Nie Ning with curiosity.
Seeing this, Nie Ning couldn't help but lean behind Lovsky.
The strength of Supernatural Adaptability was unquestionable; it had now allowed him to completely shake off the world's suppression, which would make it difficult for some natives to distinguish whether he was an outsider.
Just at this moment, the long-armed native, whom Nie Ning had thought was dead, was brought out.
As soon as the long-armed native saw the little calf, he plopped down on his knees, repeatedly saying the words "Leisi Sacred Beast" over and over.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other; they hadn't expected this little guy to be the Leisi Sacred Beast the natives spoke of. Wasn't it a bit too weak?
"You damned outsiders, you will be cursed by the Leisi Sacred Beast! I swear, you will die a miserable death!"
The long-armed native pointed at the crowd and roared loudly, his teeth bared in rage.
Some people sneered upon hearing this, while others scratched their ears, not caring in the least.
There were many alien creatures who said such things to them, but their ultimate fate could only be to be ruled by them.
If it weren't for the so-called Human Alliance Treaty, they would have long since deployed weapons of mass destruction to wipe out these natives; there would be no chance for this native to be noisy in their ears.
Compared to the others, Nie Ning was more interested in this so-called Sacred Beast.
Although he no longer needed the Sacred Rune Armament, creatures designated as Sacred Beasts were usually very powerful, and the other party might have some relatively practical skills.
Or perhaps other methods of using the Sacred Rune Armament.
"Everyone disperse. You, take this little guy back and keep it under guard first."
A 7th-Rank Wizard said to Nie Ning and the others.
Nie Ning was delighted upon hearing this and couldn't help but exchange glances with Lovsky beside him, both seeing the strange look in each other's eyes.
The attraction of unknown creatures to Wizards went without saying, and the value of special species was not limited to the surface.
Its bloodline was secondary; if they could research something from it, perhaps they wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, if there was an opportunity, everyone would naturally not let go of this chance to obtain experimental material.
Even not just Nie Ning and the other, other people in the logistics department thought the same.
