Chapter 28: Researching Unknown Creatures, Discovering Energy Shell Technology

The instant the Blind Spider charged towards Su Nan, he smashed two bottles of potion onto its head.

The two types of potion liquids, upon contact with the air, began to boil, transforming into two clouds of smoke, which then turned into two soul vortexes in the air.

The soul vortexes began to absorb the soul energy within the Secret Realm.

Originally, these two types of spectral potions would only work if there were a large number of soul fragments nearby, meaning a large number of casualties.

This was because a large number of soul fragments were needed to be compressed and condensed to become Specters, which were superior to ordinary ghosts.

But in the Secret Realm, this was completely unnecessary.

Here in the Secret Realm, there were fragments of life's unconscious torrents everywhere.

Gathered by the soul vortexes, these torrent fragments summoned a truck-sized ghostly green frog and three ghostly blue, normal-sized spectral wolves.

The truck-sized spectral frog pinned the Blind Spider beneath its body, preventing it from approaching Su Nan.

At the same time, the three spectral wolves followed behind the spectral frog, always looking for opportunities to tear at the Blind Spider.

In Su Nan's initial design, the spectral frog was a tank and support role, while the spectral wolves were intended to provide flanking and assist in attacks during combat.

Ol' Guard swept his gaze over the spectral monsters summoned by the two potions and said, "Truly remarkable spirit magic, Lord Su Nan."

"It's hard to believe that you possess such outstanding techniques without a complete magical inheritance."

"Perhaps you are exceptionally gifted. If you had been born two thousand years ago, during the golden age of the flourishing wizard civilization on this land, your achievements would be unimaginable."

Su Nan nodded. He noticed a problem: the spectral wolves' bites didn't seem to have much effect on the strange Blind Spider.

When the three spectral wolves bit at the Blind Spider's spider legs, their bites didn't cause any damage at all.

It wasn't like when a mortal faced a werewolf messenger, where a steel sword could cause damage, but the werewolf messenger's不死之身 (undying body) would quickly heal it.

Instead, it was that they couldn't cause any damage from the very beginning.

Su Nan even discovered that each time his summoned spectral wolves touched the Blind Spider, their forms would become somewhat blurred.

That is to say, as highly condensed soul constructs, both the spectral wolves and the spectral frog were beginning to disintegrate upon contact with the Blind Spider.

Su Nan frowned. 'Brain, analyze the data of that Blind Spider.'

[Provisional Name: Blind Spider]

[Strength: 1.4]

[Speed: 2]

[Constitution: Unable to Analyze]

[Mental Strength: Unable to Analyze]

[It seems to be completely different from both creatures in the real world and creatures in the spiritual world. Even for the wizarding world, it is likely a creature from another world. Due to insufficient data, results cannot be analyzed at this time.]

Su Nan raised his eyebrows. The base combat power of his summoned spectral wolves was actually similar to that of ordinary wolves, only with added spectral characteristics.

The spectral frog's speed and strength were both 1, only its constitution reached 3, but that level of constitution was enough to restrain enemies.

However, the spectral frog, possessing a constitution of 3, equivalent to that of a formal Storm Knight, was now showing signs of collapsing under the Blind Spider's frantic attacks from its spider legs, and the collapsing soul fragments seemed to be tainted by something unclean, making them unusable.

Su Nan glanced at Ol' Guard, who was injured all over and hadn't recovered.

No wonder Ol' was fighting so strenuously.

The Blind Spider, which suddenly appeared in the Secret Realm, seemed too strange.

It was as if it was the nemesis of highly condensed soul constructs like Ol' Guard.

Ol' Guard, standing to the side, saw that the spectral series monsters were helpless and became quite worried. "These lifeforms from the energy world are too restrictive towards ordinary magical creatures."

"What should we do?"

"There aren't any formal wizards or first-class wizard apprentices from the Gray Earth Cemetery around us. Can we really deal with it?"

"Damn cultists! Lord Su Nan, those cultists must be in your territory in the real world."

Su Nan looked at Ol' and said, "Rest assured, Ol'. The situation is still under control. What wizards fear the least is encountering unknown situations. Wizards should be encouraged when they encounter unknown situations."

Su Nan explained, "Because deciphering unknown situations allows one to gain new knowledge, and gaining new knowledge allows one to master even more powerful magical forces."

He thought to himself, 'Brain, analyze why my spectral series monsters can't cause damage to that monster.'

'Also, analyze why my spectral monsters tend to collapse upon contact with it.'

[Okay.]

[Analysis of the battle data from just now shows that the spider monster possesses lifeform characteristics that are completely different from both creatures in the material world and your form of existence in the Secret Realm.]

[It has a powerful energy shell on the surface of its body.]

[The instant your spectral monsters and Ol' Guard attack its surface energy shell, all attacks are converted into energy, which instead strengthens and merges into the energy shell on its surface, so no attacks have been effective.]

[At the same time, the instant your spectral monsters touch its surface energy shell, the mana belonging to you that originally constitutes the spectral form is actually polluted by that energy shell. Brief contact is of course fine, but prolonged contact will cause the mana you left in the spectral monsters' bodies to collapse.]

[It's worth noting—]

[That spider monster, rather than being a creature, its life structure is more like electricity, light, fire, or energy on your Earth in your previous life.]

[But now it has skin, limbs, and might even bleed.]

[There is too little relevant information about the energy world mentioned by the wizards.]

[In addition, if that's the case, I'm afraid that this creature's energy shell not only forms natural restraint against Ol' Guard and the spectral series monsters, but also forms restraint against the wizards' spells.]

[It is recommended that you use the Drowsy Bug Potion to conduct spell tests on it.]

[If you can record more of this monster's combat data, you might be able to replicate the energy shell technology and apply it to the spectral Death Knight potion recipe, which is still in the conceptual design stage.]

Su Nan understood. This meant that he couldn't quickly resolve and eliminate this spider monster that had invaded his Secret Realm territory.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of resources.

Su Nan glanced at Ol', who was worried and even somewhat frightened. Unlike Ol' Guard, he didn't have those past burdens. In his view, the wizarding world was full of mysterious and unknown things to him.

If he encountered a question, he would analyze it. If he couldn't analyze it temporarily, he would just leave it alone, because he would always be able to explore it one day.
