Chapter 98: Chapter 81: Dragon Vein Druid, Kurus Brass_2

Enhancing resistance belongs to tricks, which is, 0-ring magic and divine arts, quantified, it roughly means to increase his resistance to all attributes by 1 point. You might say it’s trivial, but it is quite useful.

But the problem is that this thing can only last for 1 minute, and it can only be cast fifty times. After the fifty uses are up, if you want to continue using it, you must find Kurus to help recharge it.

"Will it affect the final outcome of the trial?" Gu Shanhai was a little puzzled, "You can provide escort, Elder Mafas, but you can’t provide equipment?"

"He said if you meet a kind-hearted person, they will help, right? He’s not wrong, but you are different. You want to use the four major elemental cores to enhance your elemental blessing, so it’s not suitable to have too much interference power. This will affect your ultimate result."

"Enhancing resistance is different because it is a trick and will dissipate quickly. It’s not enough to affect the result. If you don’t want the four elemental cores, I can give you a magic wand with a Three-Ring Fireball Technique, which is enough to guarantee your return."

"Remember, child, this is both a ritual and a trial. Even though it is dangerous, its essence is still to test you. If you want to strive for perfection, difficulties are necessary, even if the result is death."

Kurus explained to Gu Shanhai.

"So you’re saying, this magic wand with enhanced resistance magic might also interfere with my results?" Gu Shanhai asked.

"A tiny, negligible interference, it won’t influence the result," Kurus said.

"Thank you for your kind intention, Elder Kurus, but I think I do not need it, for this is my trial. Your provision of the exit location is already immensely appreciated," Gu Shanhai refused without hesitation.

He didn’t lack that little bit of resistance. For him, it involved the quality of the elemental blessing. With his strength, even without the help of this resistance enhancement, he could still achieve his purpose.

At this time, he also understood one thing; he shouldn’t completely see this as a simple survival trial but should treat it more seriously, like a ritual sacrifice.

"You have surprised me," Kurus didn’t expect Gu Shanhai to actually refuse and appreciated it.

"I respect your choice and hope you can pass the trial. Perhaps we will meet again in the future."

As Gu Shanhai had made up his mind, Kurus naturally did not insist further and put away the magic wand.

Neutral good is benevolence, not sanctimoniousness; it means respecting other people’s choices, not imposing one’s will on others.

"If that’s the case, I won’t disturb Elder Kurus anymore. I must continue my trial." Gu Shanhai was ready to take his leave. His main purpose was to find the exit location. As for the possibility of interference with the results, he could look for it on the way. If he found it, he wouldn’t use the exit Kurus mentioned.

If he didn’t find it, he wouldn’t take a gamble on luck but would end it as soon as possible. It didn’t matter if the results were slightly less.

Therefore, he had to complete the killing count within three days, or he would indeed have to find the exit himself.

Fortunately, three days was enough time. He was not like those true apprentices just starting out. Although it was dangerous, he would find ways to minimize the danger.

Kurus watched the departing Gu Shanhai, sighing, "A pity, the era of Druids has passed."

...

Gu Shanhai casually pulled out a small fire elemental core.

"Fire elemental core in hand, now it’s time to change locations," Gu Shanhai put away the small fire elemental core. He was keeping it to use for elemental blessings.

He and the Fierce General didn’t go deep into the Fire Element Region but slowly ventured in. The small fire elementals he had encountered before were all absorbed by the Fierce General, and Gu Shanhai had maxed out his resistance and affinity to the fire element. To continue to improve, he would have to find a medium fire elemental.

However, Gu Shanhai didn’t plan to continue grinding. It was risky, so he decided against it.

Thus, he planned to divert to the wind elemental territory and brush up his resistance and affinity to the wind element.

"It’s a pity that I am ultimately not a fire elemental, and such 1 point of resistance provides limited protection," Gu Shanhai tried and found that the enhancement effect was just average.

If reaching 100 points in resistance meant immunity to conventional attacks of that element, then his 1 point could only reduce 1% of the damage. Of course, if one wanted immunity from unconventional attacks, like the True Sun Fire or Nine Nether Cold Wind, higher resistance would be necessary. 100 points was just the beginning, not the end.

Gu Shanhai wasn’t thinking of so much right now. Getting the 1 point was already quite good. Other players who wanted similar attributes would probably only get them from equipment.

"Temperature anomalously high? There’s a problem!" Just as Gu Shanhai was about to leave, he sharply noticed that the temperature in his area had risen by about 1 degree. Other apprentices might not have noticed, but Gu Shanhai’s perception was exceptionally keen, almost his primary attribute.

So, the first thing that came to his mind was naturally that a fire elemental was approaching, and most likely, it was a large one.

After all, medium ones didn’t have such ability.

"Retreat!" In a flash, Gu Shanhai mounted his steed, Qiong Qi, asking it to carry him away quickly.

At this moment, he didn’t bother with all the mess and directly ran towards the wind elemental territory.
