Shin Sang Legend
The Mangir mountains
Vivian only gave a smile in response.
“I don't think you're too worried about that kind of thing.” Vivian explained, “Because the life force is the power that every living thing uses to maintain their own existence. It is basically the same as the fact that plants need to absorb nutrients and water to grow. Although no living thing can live without it, but it is something that will still run out.”
Hearing that, Shin somewhat understood.
“To put it simply, life force and nutrition are basically the same, every living thing will need it to continue living, and without it they will weaken and die, but it is something that can be replenished, right?”
Many people understand life force as something that goes along with the lifespan of a creature, and they think that using it will consume their own lifespan or something.
But in reality, life force is just the kind of energy needed to live normally.
Although life cannot escape from it, but using it does not mean you will die immediately as well. Just like how a person needs to eat to replenish the nutrients and energy their body needs, life force can also be restored through rest, sleep, and even eating, etc. consumed in the first place to maintain the function of life, not some sort of age like that which absolutely cannot be lost.
As for magic power, even though it was something that was changed from life force, one usually needed to use life force to stay alive. There was only the additional use of it to become magic power. This basically just means that in addition to all the things that a person usually does in his daily life, there is one more activity. Therefore, no matter how much you turn into magic power, as long as you are still resting, sleeping, and eating as usual, your life status also remains normal, and your life force is still replenished properly, then it will not fully recover tired.
“Only, magic power and life force have a direct relationship, and the relationship between the two is stronger than normal life function. If you use all your magic, then it will at the same time affect your body, make you tired or affect concentration. That will knock you unconscious on the spot.”
Vivian added such an explanation.
“Thanks to it, when one's magic power finally shows abnormalities, it will generally also be reflected on the body, so it is something to look out for.”
Vivian's words reminded Shin of one of her skills.
“This world maintains various natural activities require the consumption of life force, but the life force will remain naturally filled, as long as there is nothing wrong with the world itself.”
Vivian pointed to the pool symbol on the map as she spoke to Shin.
“This magical water eye is very similar to how the life force would be converted into magic power. It is the life force of the world itself that turns into magic power. If that magic power were to finally gather in one place in large numbers, it would melt into the form of a spring. In some cases it will even harden. At that time, they will become magic crystals or various kinds of minerals and magic alloys.”
Remember, the spring water from the magic spring has a wide variety of uses. Just like magic crystals, be it for producing potions, magic objects or magic weapons, it could be used for everything.
“The problem is, not only do we humans want it, demonic beasts want it too.” Vivian turned serious, “Since demonic beasts can directly absorb magic power inside to gain power, this magical spring is very attractive to demonic beasts.”
In that case, the magical spring water would naturally attract different types of demonic beasts from around him, and the larger the spring water, the stronger the demonic beast would rest nearby, so it was quite troublesome.
What else could Shin say about that?
He can only laugh.
However, thanks to Vivian's extremely detailed explanation, Shin could finally understand why they had finally decided to make such a battle plan.
“Because the demon beasts will eventually be near the magical spring, we only need to camp near the magical spring and our target will appear sooner or later huh?”
Not just that. Everything is going well, the demonic beasts will end up fighting amongst themselves as it competes for access to the magical spring. Then for Shin and the others who were hiding nearby, they could easily sweep away the leftovers after the battle was over, and directly take the skin from the salamanders who died in the previous battle.
“The fire salamander is a herd-type demonic beast around level 30-40. Based on the size of this magical spring, it should be able to attract a herd of fire salamanders.”
Vivian interrupted those words, telling Shin that she also had such a plan.
To that end, Shin only had one sentence in answer.
“You are quite cunning.”
Those words made Vivian, Diere, Lumia, and Melika stop in place.
Shin changed his tone and added another sentence.
“But I like it.”
This made Vivian who managed to react back roll her eyes towards Shin. Even Diere and Melika seemed to be a bit angry at him. Only Lumia was still as usual.
“Then, let's go.”
Vivian kept the map.
The group packed their luggage, put the carriage deep in the nearby forest, and entered the Mangir mountains.
