Chapter 991: Chapter 384: Scale Armor
"Force the Master of Fog City to come out? Just us?"
Han Xiangman was a bit surprised, her expression somewhat astonished, hesitant to speak.
Although she acknowledged Mr. Liang’s strength, Mist City wasn’t small, and from the information just received, only Superpower Users could reside there.
With such a large number of Superpower Users, no matter how powerful Mr. Liang was, it’s likely very difficult to confront them head-on, right?
So facing Liang Yuan’s words, she was somewhat unsure how to respond.
Psychologically, she didn’t agree, but out of respect for Liang Yuan, she couldn’t directly express her opinion.
Her thoughts turned, thinking of a way to tactfully persuade him.
However, she heard Liang Yuan smiling and shaking his head, saying, "Just us isn’t enough."
"But we’re not the only ones trapped in this Mist City."
Upon hearing this, Han Xiangman’s eyes lit up immediately, and she looked up at Liang Yuan, a hint of excitement appearing on her pretty face.
"I understand what you mean, you want to use these trapped Superpower Users to launch an attack on Mist City together?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "We may not necessarily attack directly, but if we can gather all these people together and just enter Mist City, we’ll have enough leverage."
"This method is good. There’s strength in numbers. We might not be enough individually, but if everyone enters Mist City, even if the opponent is strong and numerous, they’ll have to think twice when they see so many of us."
Liang Yuan nodded, "Hmm, next I need to go around the ships trapped near the reefs of Mist City to see how many people we can use."
Han Xiangman immediately said, "I’ll go with you."
Liang Yuan shook his head, "No, you stay. I need you to guard the Golden Armor Warship for me."
"Isn’t Qiu Yingyue and the others here?"
"After all, they’re outsiders, not entirely trustworthy. You stay and keep an eye on things for me."
"Besides, it’s more convenient for me to move alone."
"Alright, then when do we act?"
"Wait for the captain of the Queen to return."
"Wait for them?" Han Xiangman was puzzled.
Liang Yuan smiled, "First, take care of them."
He had the parasite species divine skill, and by then, he would go ship by ship, controlling these captains one by one, thus easily controlling these people.
By then, leading these people straight to Mist City, even the Master of Fog City would likely be unable to dismiss this force.
Liang Yuan knew very well that at any time, only with equal strength does one have the right to speak.
What he had to do now was to give himself a place at the negotiating table!
His personnel were all in Yangshan, so it was naturally impossible to bring them all over.
So what he needed to do now was to control these captains trapped near Mist City first.
Only by uniting this scattered force can there be enough deterrence, allowing him to have a place at the negotiation table.
And the first step was to deal with the captain of the Queen, Leng Yuehua!
Of course, before Leng Yuehua returned, Liang Yuan wouldn’t be idle.
He needed to quickly comprehend the Golden Armor Defense Rune on the Golden Armor Warship.
At the same time, he needed to delve into the design concept of the talisman array.
No one taught these things, but Liang Yuan had the ready-made Golden Armor Defense Talisman Array and Sealing Talisman Array as references.
At worst, he could learn these two rune arrays by imitation.
As time slowly passed, Liang Yuan stayed in the captain’s cabin, rarely coming out.
In reality, Liang Yuan had quietly submerged, comprehending the Golden Armor Defense Rune at the bottom of the Golden Armor Warship.
With his strong Spiritual Power, he initially thought simulating the Golden Armor Defense Rune wouldn’t be too difficult.
However, after a day, Liang Yuan barely managed to deduce the Golden Armor Defense Rune.
"It actually took this long? Could it be an uncommon rune?"
Liang Yuan extended his palm, and his superpower flowed. With his genetic alteration, the superpower transformed into Metal Attribute Superpower, quickly condensing into golden patterns on his skin’s surface.
In the blink of an eye, golden runes gathered successfully, rapidly forming on his fist’s surface.
Buzz!
As the runes lit up, a golden armor immediately spread across his fist’s surface, covering the skin.
Liang Yuan looked at the golden armor, currently unable to directly gauge its hardness.
He thought for a moment and directly called up the system panel to check the skill bar description.
[Scale-like Golden Armor]: Metal Attribute Defense Skill
Skill Quality: Green
Skill Requirements: Spirit 7, Constitution 8
Skill Effect: Activating this skill forms a defensive golden armor on the body surface.
Note: The Scale-like Golden Armor originates from the Scale-like Golden Sardine King’s skill, able to form a Rune Array to protect the sardine school.
"It’s actually a green skill!"
Seeing the skill description, Liang Yuan was greatly surprised and taken aback.
No wonder it took him a whole day to comprehend this rune.
In terms of complexity, this Scale-like Golden Armor Rune was indeed several times more difficult than the white-quality runes he had learned before.
"The system specifically notes that it can form a Rune Array."
Liang Yuan looked at the last note, showing a thoughtful expression.
Undoubtedly, the defense capability of the Scale-like Golden Armor significantly exceeds that of Stone Armor and Hundred Rivers and Seas, those white-quality skills.
But its most remarkable feature is likely its ability to form a unique Rune Array.
Thus, Liang Yuan quickly began researching how to form the Scale-like Golden Armor Rune Array.
After about a few hours, Liang Yuan had already understood the principle of the Rune Array.
The Scale-like Golden Armor runes have special compatibility points, where two of the same runes can be perfectly embedded and combined, forming a Rune Array like fish scales.
The layers formed a dense scale-like pattern, not only expanding the defensive area of the Golden Armor but also greatly increasing the defense strength.
Liang Yuan, delighted, immediately turned to review his White Quality skills.
It was then that he discovered not all runes could form arrays.
The White Skill Runes were too simplistic, lacked complexity, and did not have matching points, making it difficult to form composite runes.
However, as he continued observing, Liang Yuan noticed something peculiar.
The simple White Quality runes could not match each other, but surprisingly, they could fit into more complex Green Quality runes in certain places.
It’s like a piece of a fragment; the more cracks it has, the easier it is to fill and mend with simple pieces, forming new runes.
However, in doing so, the effect and function of the new rune become unknown.
This may require continuous experimentation to determine if it can form an array.
Liang Yuan felt he was gradually uncovering the secrets of Rune Arrays.
And in deducing Rune Arrays, the most challenging part is Spiritual Power.
The more complex the Rune Array, the higher the demand for Spiritual Power.
Of course, there’s a simpler way.
That is to draw the array and use the Superpower Stone as the energy source to power the array.
In this way, manpower can be greatly reduced.
Liang Yuan, while learning this knowledge, gave birth to various fantastic ideas.
Before long, he had figured out the Scale-like Golden Armor Rune Array and immediately returned to the ship.
"Mr. Liang, are you in there?"
Qiu Yingyue came to the door.
Liang Yuan opened the door and looked at Qiu Yingyue, saying, "What’s going on?"
Qiu Yingyue frowned and said, "It’s been two days, and the leader of the Queen hasn’t returned yet. How long are we going to wait?"
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "You’ve waited this long, why rush now?"
"I just want to find my dad sooner. He knows more about this place, and maybe he knows more things."
Liang Yuan nodded, "I understand your thoughts, but let’s wait another day. If Leng Yuehua doesn’t return, I won’t stop you."
Hearing this, Qiu Yingyue nodded before leaving.
Liang Yuan watched her back and just smiled.
In fact, she could explore Mist City now if she wanted to.
Liang Yuan, considering the pleasant cooperation along the way, kindly advised against impulsive actions.
If Qiu Yingyue still insists on going alone afterward to find her father.
He wouldn’t stop her either, as he didn’t have anyone to scout the path yet.
Liang Yuan went up to the watchtower and greeted Han Xiangman, saying, "I’ll watch the tower for a while, you can go rest in the captain’s cabin."
Han Xiangman heard and said, "I’m fine, I can rest on the watchtower too."
Liang Yuan waved her off, "Go rest, I’ll take care of it here."
Han Xiangman saw he wasn’t just being polite, so she nodded in thanks and went down to rest.
Liang Yuan turned his eyes to the 360-degree rotating crossbow on the watchtower.
The Sealing Arrow Array was launched from this giant crossbow.
Its shape resembled the giant crossbows used in ancient siege warfare depicted in TV dramas.
It was entirely made of metal, with intricate patterns engraved on the body of the crossbow.
These were not Sealing Runes, but some kind of runes that increased explosive power.
In some recessed areas of the patterns, Superpower Stones were embedded to provide energy.
The arrow chamber where arrows are loaded also had engravings, which were speed-increasing runes.
Liang Yuan’s focus wasn’t on these, but on the giant Crossbow Arrows beside the crossbow.
These Crossbow Arrows were not metallic but made of a certain wood, and their surfaces had intricate runes engraved, while the arrowheads were not sharp arrows but fist-sized Superpower Stones.
This Superpower Stone was pink, and its surface was inscribed with numerous Sealing Runes!
These Sealing Runes had delicate strokes, exceedingly fine, as thin as hair.
Liang Yuan counted carefully and found nine Sealing Runes inscribed on this fist-sized Superpower Stone.
These nine Sealing Runes connected end to end as if they were a single entity, forming a set of Rune Array.
Liang Yuan secretly praised the designer of this array for their ingenuity and exquisite craftsmanship.
This was definitely master-level work in rune creation.
"The Sealing Rune Array was directly inscribed on the Superpower Stone. As soon as it’s slightly activated, it immediately forms a massive Sealing Rune Array."
"The range of sealing is directly related to the strength of the energy provided by this Superpower Stone."
Liang Yuan pondered and studied the runes on the arrow shaft further.
He quickly made a new discovery; the runes on the arrow shaft were not Sealing Runes but a new type of rune he had never seen before.
Liang Yuan immediately tried to sketch it and quickly replicated this rune.
Buzz!
As he conjured the rune in his palm, a buzzing sound immediately erupted, and his palm shone brightly.
The rune flashed, and besides the light, nothing special appeared.
Liang Yuan was puzzled, suddenly recalling something, and promptly took out a Spirit Turtle Shield Talisman Stone, placing it within the light.
Swish!
The Spirit Turtle Shield activated, and in an instant, a Spirit Turtle Shield several times larger than normal enveloped around Liang Yuan!
Seeing this, Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, revealing a look of surprise and delight.
"The rune on the arrow shaft can amplify the effects of other runes and also trigger the Talisman Stone."
