Chapter 79 The Technique of Entangling with Herbs and Trees
His first thought was levitation.
This was a spell he had been working on before he even met the Scarlet Wizard.
Later, the wizard Recent's use of levitation magic also left Loon in awe.
The levitation technique can be used not only on people, but also on objects.
Ships are also objects—as long as Luo Ang's mental strength is sufficient and the 'power' of his levitation spell is high enough, he can completely use levitation to cover the Stone Oak and the White Whale and transfer the two ships directly to the island—in this way, the two ships can at least avoid the impact and pounding of the raging tide and the danger of falling apart.
Although there will still be wind and rain, the passengers on board can take shelter from the storm in the cabins until the storm passes.
However, the problem is that since learning the levitation technique, Luo Ang has not yet tested how much his 'maximum power' is or how long he can maintain it.
At this point, it is clearly not the right time to conduct a test.
—It's not that I'm afraid the magic won't be able to cover these two ships.
Rather, they feared that after the spell was applied to the two ships, the ships would be freed from the effects of their weight and be directly lifted into the air by the waves.
Then Loon was unable to maintain the output of this 'maximum power', causing the spell to dissipate.
If the two ships were to fall from the sky, they would probably fall apart immediately... Of the people on board, seven or eight out of ten would die, and that's an understatement.
"We can't use levitation." Lo Ang shook his head.
A moment later, another spell appeared before Loon's eyes.
The art of entwining oneself with herbs and trees.
This is also one of the spells that Loon has mastered.
It was also the first temporary spell he had prepared for himself.
For wizards, not every spell they learn is studied in long-term practice.
However, temporary spells need to be prepared once a day—meaning that you have to practice them at least once a day.
Therefore, temporary spells are among the most familiar spells for any wizard.
Luo Ang was no exception.
"It's the art of being entwined by plants!"
After pondering for a long time and reviewing all the spells he had learned, Luo Ang finally determined that the only spell among those he had learned that might be able to slow down this turmoil was the Grass and Tree Entanglement Spell.
"Not by confronting the power of this raging torrent, but by tearing it apart."
"Instead, it utilizes the properties of the Grass and Tree Entanglement Technique, using seeds to encourage the growth of grass and vines to form a terrain, thereby mitigating the power of this raging tide."
In the blink of an eye, the countless tangled roots of the Orchid Islands appeared in Loon's mind.
That was the most shocking thing Loen had ever seen.
The roots that spread from a single orchid plant spread in all directions, enveloping the entire orchid archipelago.
Countless roots intertwine, transforming into countless piers and dams on the Orchid Islands.
Loon can guarantee that even the current raging torrents will have little impact on the environment of the Orchid Islands.
All the tides, when they approach the Orchid Islands, are blocked by the roots of the orchids, and then slowed down... eventually turning into harmless tides.
"The Grass and Tree Entanglement Technique is a continuous spell."
"Although it is based on the vitality of plants, it is actually maintained by the spiritual power of the wizard."
"In addition, the Grass and Tree Entanglement Technique is the temporary spell I chose, and it is also the spell I practice the most. At the same time, this spell is exceptionally compatible with me."
"Therefore, the mental strength I need to maintain this spell is far lower than that of other spells."
"It's a rainy day again, with storms and thunder converging, and my mental energy is particularly active."
"Let's give it a shot!"
"Let's try to use the Grass and Tree Entanglement Technique to weave grass and trees, like a filter, to block the entrance of this crescent-shaped bay."
"If possible, that would be best."
"If that's not possible, we can simply use the Grass and Wood Entanglement Technique to connect the Stone Oak and the White Whale together, so that everyone on the White Whale can take refuge on the Stone Oak," Loon thought—even though the passengers on the White Whale had nothing to do with him.
But to watch the people on the ship being swallowed up by the ocean bit by bit while he stood by and watched... Luo Ang really couldn't make up his mind to do that.
"However, the Grass and Tree Entanglement Technique only involves being entangled by grass and trees, not controlling them."
"If I want to use the Grass and Tree Entanglement Technique to block the entrance to that bay, I'm still missing a 'target' for the Grass and Tree Entanglement Technique to use."
"We need something that's right in the bay to cling to, so that the vegetation can 'wrap' around it."
As he pondered, Loon took out a handful of seeds from the inner pocket of his cloak.
He did not intend to use the Grass and Wood Entanglement spell that was pre-stored in the temporary spell slot, but rather to cast the spell in the orthodox way—as for the pre-stored spell, it was for emergency use in critical situations.
The seeds in the pocket are the materials needed to cast the Grass and Wood Entanglement spell. They are the seeds of a marine vine that Loon and the Crimson Wizard found while they were wandering in the sea.
This marine vine is called "Sea Weaver".
Its material is extremely tough and also extremely climbing – although it grows from the cracks in the seabed reefs, it can climb all the way up to the top of the sea cliffs.
Some fishermen in stormy seas even cultivate these vines on their fishing boats and guide their growth, allowing them to spread back and forth along the bottom of the boat to protect it from being scratched by something while fishing.
Although the 'Sea Weaver' is not a magical plant, after Loon collected its seeds, he also used the mystical methods he learned from the Crimson Wizard to process them. The processed seeds, although becoming 'dead seeds' and only usable for casting the Grass and Wood Entanglement spell, and only able to entangle and spread with the support of Loon's mental power, in exchange, their properties are extremely close to the level of magical plants.
Unfortunately, the mysterious elements within the Sea Weaver Hand, guided by the Grass and Wood Entanglement Technique, will completely dissipate after the spell fades, turning it into a completely mortal object. Otherwise, the seeds of the Sea Weaver Hand, combined with Luo Ang's Grass and Wood Entanglement Technique, could have directly ascended to the heavens, becoming an inexhaustible resource.
"I can only use the sharks raised by Crimson." Loen's mental energy sank into the water.
Although the waves in the sea were extremely wild, causing many sea fish to be thrown into the air and crushed by the raging waves.
But the sharks that came with the Stone Oak remained lurking in the bay, clinging to the seabed to avoid the wind and waves.
After confirming the presence of these sharks, Loon immediately took out the Crimson Wizard's whistle, blowing it as he directed the sharks to emerge from the seabed and form a line along the entrance of the bay.
As the sharks swam past the stone oak, Loon scattered the seeds of the Seaweaver, which he had processed and used as spellcasting materials. The two sharks swallowed the seeds and came to the crescent-shaped spot in Crescent Bay.
Soon, Loon adjusted the position of the shark swarm.
Immediately, Luo Ang began to make hand gestures.
