"Isn't your ability to manipulate things like dirt and rocks?"
Wang Hu frowned, looking at Zhou Xuan with a serious expression.
The house where everyone is now is the one built by Zhou Xuan. He originally thought that the other party's ability was something like soil or rocks, but he didn't expect it to be an ability that seemed to have nothing to do with anything.
"No, that's the power of the deity I summoned!" Zhou Xuan denied.
"God Invocation... deities?" Wang Hu frowned slightly.
Han Ling, standing nearby, also turned her gaze in that direction.
Even after arriving in the Erosion Zone and encountering all sorts of abilities, this one, even just hearing its name, still immediately struck one as unique.
"So... those you just offered sacrifices to, are they the gods you invited?" Wang Hu asked, arms crossed, looking at Zhou Xuan.
"Yes, that's right!" Zhou Xuan nodded and further explained, "With each advancement in First Tier, I can invite one more deity. At the First Tier, I invite the Earth God; at the Second Tier rank, the City God; at Third Tier third rank, the River God; and at the Fourth Tier, the Duke of Thunder Mother of Lightning."
"Land God, City God, River God, Thunder God..."
Wang Hu recited the incantation softly, pausing at the Fourth Tier deity he had invoked. He frowned as he looked at Zhou Xuan.
"Aren't the Duke of Thunder Mother of Lightning two people?"
"There are two gods!"
Zhou Xuan first corrected him, then said:
"Strictly speaking, they should be counted as two, but because they are generally perceived as appearing together, I invited them both when I made the invitation!"
As he spoke, Zhou Xuan seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Shen Heng.
"Hehe, how about that? Aren't I awesome?"
Shen Heng stopped poking at the flames with the wooden stick and looked up at Zhou Xuan with a speechless expression.
Zhou Xuan had a broad smile on his face, as if he had discovered a game bug and was showing it off to his friend.
Shen Heng nodded without sweeping his path.
"Alright, let me tell you about the abilities and effects of the gods you summoned!" He steered the conversation back to the main topic.
Seeing Shen Heng nod, Zhou Xuan's smile widened. He nodded and said:
" The Earth God allows me to control the land; the Lord City God allows me to summon Yin Soldiers and exert some pressure and control; the River God allows me to control water flow and mist, and this effect is stronger when there is a river; finally, there is the Duke of Thunder Mother of Lightning..."
He paused slightly at this point, then continued:
" The Duke of Thunder God allows me to unleash some high-intensity lightning attacks, while the Mother of Lightning, although she also uses lightning, her lightning is primarily designed to corrode the enemy's body."
"Just like the Yang Five Thunders and Yin Five Thunders in Daoism, the Yang Five Thunders mainly attack the physical body, while the Yin Five Thunders mainly attack the soul!"
"And its power?" Shen Heng continued to guide the conversation.
"Similar to other martial artists of the same rank and ability, but perhaps not as agile as others..."
"What's the fighting style?"
"Hmm... the fighting style differs depending on the god involved. If it's a land deity..."
During their question-and-answer session, Zhou Xuan's abilities began to reveal themselves to the others.
Compared to the others, his abilities were significantly more complex, even though he was only at the Fourth Tier.
If his rank increases further in the future, it will likely become even more complicated for him to explain his abilities to others!
After a moment, having confirmed that the others roughly understood Zhou Xuan's abilities, Shen Heng turned his gaze to the last member of the temporary team.
Let me introduce myself to everyone!
The girl with her dark brown hair tied back nodded, the ends of her hair swaying behind her.
"My Qin Yu, and my ability is Environmental Assimilation, B-Class."
"The effect is that it allows oneself and surrounding objects to blend into the environment, causing other creatures to subconsciously ignore them."
"Could you demonstrate the effect? I need to confirm what kind of effect your ability can achieve," Shen Heng asked Qin Yu.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze in that direction.
Under everyone's gaze, Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
She pointed to the doorway of the mud house, "Look there!"
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked in that direction, but found nothing, and then turned their gaze back towards them.
However, as their gazes quickly returned, everyone was slightly taken aback.
The spot where Qin Yu had been sitting now seemed to be empty.
"Uh, no, where are they?"
Zhou Xuan exclaimed in surprise, then subconsciously glanced to the side, wanting to see where Qin Yu had run off to.
Wang Hu frowned, his gaze sweeping to the side as well.
Shen Heng had also subconsciously wanted to look away.
But he quickly stopped this subconscious thought himself.
He looked at the spot where Qin Yu had just been sitting, illuminated by the flames, and felt an indescribable sense of unease.
The sounds of breathing and heartbeat around him, as well as the scenery in his field of vision, all told him that there was someone there, but his brain told him that there was nothing there and everything was normal.
Is this Environmental Assimilation?
Beside her, Han Ling was also slightly taken aback after turning her gaze away and not finding anyone.
However, unlike Zhou Xuan and Wang Hu.
When she didn't see Qin Yu over there, she subconsciously looked towards Shen Heng.
Han Ling was slightly taken aback when she saw Shen Heng frowning and staring at the spot where Qin Yu had just been sitting.
She seemed to realize something and looked back.
"No, where... where did they go?"
After searching around without success, Zhou Xuan looked at the crowd again.
Wang Hu frowned deeply and did not reply.
Shen Heng glanced at Zhou Xuan, let out a soft breath, and then turned his gaze to the direction where Qin Yu had just been.
"It's ready!"
Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Xuan and Wang Hu glanced at Shen Heng Shen Heng, then instinctively followed his gaze.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a voice rang out from that direction.
"Hmm... that's about all my abilities are!"
Qin Yu's figure reappeared in everyone's consciousness along with these words.
She raised her hand slightly, but then hesitated, unsure of what to gesture, and finally lowered it.
"No, this... have you been here the whole time?" Zhou Xuan stared wide-eyed at Qin Yu, who had suddenly appeared.
"Yes, my ability is just assimilation, which means integrating my presence into the surrounding environment. I don't have the function of changing my location." Qin Yu nodded.
"Wow, if we use that for a sneak attack, wouldn't we be invincible?" Zhou Xuan's face showed some excitement.
Qin Yu paused slightly upon hearing this, hesitated for a moment, and then added:
"It's not as simple as you think. If you move, or speak like you just did, you'll be easily detected."
"Then, a large gap in rank is easily detected, and also..."
