Chapter 2086: Second Additional Affect: Circle of Crystal Teeth

There were three additional effects in total. The first one was the unique ability Mo Fan had gained when he had Awakened the Earth Element: Sturdy Strike!
The special effect would occur whenever Mo Fan was attacking with the Earth Element. It would make his Earth Element as hard as diamond, giving it the ability to destroy objects which were not as hard!
Whenever Mo Fan used something like Rock Fangs, they would inflict much more serious damage and have a stronger impact on enemies with thick flesh!
“The second additional effect is called the Circle of Crystal Teeth. It’s a trap effect. Every time a Star Orbit is constructed, the Circle of Crystal Teeth will take a small amount of its energy and summon some stone spikes within the area. When the spikes reach a certain number, they will combine into a Spikes Trap Formation. Enemies who get close to the Formation will be attacked by the spikes,” Yu Shishi explained to Mo Fan.
“A trap effect? It sounds like something I lack,” Mo Fan nodded, intrigued by the Circle of Crystal Teeth.
Whenever a Star Orbit was constructed, not his own, the Circle of Crystal Teeth would take some of its energy, which meant an enemy’s spell would be slightly weaker! The Circle of Crystal Teeth then used that energy to lay a splinter mine!
Yu Shishi told Mo Fan that it was difficult for beings to notice the spikes. Even if the area was full of them, they would only be visible when the trap was activated. At that moment, enemies would struggle to react in time!
“If it only takes the energy of Star Orbits, won’t it be useless if I’m fighting demon creatures?” Mo Fan asked as a thought crossed his mind.
Mo Fan spent most of the time fighting demon creatures. He preferred special effects that were useful in every kind of battle!
“Don’t worry, it works on demon creatures too. It might be useless if the demon creatures are fighting you with brute strength, but if they are using any kind of sorcery, the spikes will still appear!” Yu Shishi assured him.
“That’s great. Good to hear it. Hehe, I quite like it!” Mo Fan grinned.
The Circle of Crystal Teeth was an astonishing ability. Who the heck would suspect an enemy laying a mine under their feet in the middle of a fight? The trap would activate suddenly during the fight and surprise the enemy. He was thrilled just imagining it!
“And there’s the third additional effect. It’s very powerful. I like it too,” Yu Shishi smiled, pleased with her work.
Mu Ningxue straightened her face intently. She was interested in hearing about the third additional effect of this insane Heaven Earth Seed!
“The third effect is called the Blood Pact of the Earth. When you are injured and your blood falls to the ground, it will turn into a vengeful energy and Summon the Earth’s Demon Spirit to counterattack your foes!” Yu Shishi proclaimed.
“What the heck? Does that mean I’ll have to injure myself badly just to trigger the effect?” Mo Fan blurted out.
“Should we test it out?” Yu Shishi seemed to have great anticipation for the Blood Pact of the Earth.
“Sure, let’s head deeper into the woods,” Mo Fan agreed without missing a beat.
——
The group ventured deeper into the mountain. Their destination happened to be the boundary between the safe zone and the outer wilds. There was not much vegetation here, the terrain mainly consisted of rocks.
“Why is there a quarry out here?” Mo Fan was surprised. He had thought the side of the mountain was desolated and uninhabited, and was startled to see the quarry.
It was not very big and had only five trucks taking the loads. A few average Earth Mages were filling the trucks with the stuff that was being mined.
“It’s a private contractor. They leased this remote mountain from us to extract the minerals here,” Mu Ningxue recalled after thinking about the matter.
“Aren’t they demon creatures around here? These contractors are surprisingly bold,” Mo Fan murmured.
Yu Shishi knew about the quarry. It was far away from her mountain, so the two parties did not interfere with one another’s business.
The vegetation nearby had been cleared to build the quarry. The area was barren. It was a rare sight in the south, where most places were covered in green.
“Let’s do the experiment here. There is a rich presence of the Earth Elements here,” Yu Shishi said.
The Heaven-Inferior Seed had already merged with Mo Fan’s body. Yu Shishi had not figured out a name for it, wanting to observe how effective the Blood Pact of the Earth was first. Describing the effect with words alone was not enough. Some auctions would even showcase their Spirit Seeds and Soul Seeds’ powers at a dueling ground to further increase the prices!
The Heaven-Inferior Seed was oddly compatible with Mo Fan’s body, mainly because Feng Zhoulong had modified the Heaven-Inferior Seed in Mo Fan’s favor. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to control its formidable power.
“Let your blood drip on the ground,” Yu Shishi instructed him.
Mo Fan twisted his lips. It was a strange way to activate the magic!
As he was about to bite his finger, he suddenly noticed a strange golden-brown glow from the quarry. It was like the brilliance of a jewel if a torch was shining on it.
Mo Fan thought he had seen something wrong. He took a closer look and noticed the same light again.
The quarry was around a kilometer or two from him. Mo Fan was confused. The objects emitting the glow seemed to be connected to him, as if they were under the control of his will. They would fly into the air with a single thought from him!
“The Circle of Crystal Teeth?” Mo Fan realized abruptly.
The second effect of his Heaven-Inferior Seed was triggered from such a great distance away! The Mages who were using Basic Spells to move the minerals around were unaware of the spikes hidden under their feet. The number of spikes was increasing every time they Cast a spell!
“Interesting, how interesting, the Circle of Crystal Teeth is actually forming on its own. I don’t even need to control it!” Mo Fan exclaimed.
In other words, it would absorb the energy of every magic spell or sorcery used within two kilometers of him and start laying its trap!
