A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees
Chapter 1054: Ronan Is in Trouble!

Under the influence of the Scouts.

The night hunters left their nests.

The daily killing scene was reenacted.

More and more black shadows appeared on the ground.

The north wind continued to howl mercilessly.

..

Another hour later.

Helen Mountains.

Dragon Snake Mountain.

On a narrow path.

Matthew wrapped himself up tightly, but the cold wind continued to pour into his body from all directions.

It was difficult for defensive spells to defend against this kind of all-pervasive wind.

Matthew recalled a few tricks.

However, it seemed to be useless on such an occasion.

He could only try to ask for help from 177:

" Is there a spell that can stabilize the temperature or block the cold wind?"

177 shook his head.

"You're too weak, Matthew.

"Look at you. You're almost wrapped up like a mummy!

" Look at the crippled young man behind you. He's only wearing a pair of pants.

"And I, I didn't even wear a pair of pants!

"Guess how I resisted the cold?

"Because I have a strong will!

"As long as one's willpower is strong enough, what is a mere cold?"

Matthew couldn't help but roll his eyes.

" You're not afraid of the cold because you're a construct. It has nothing to do with willpower!"

177 thought about it.

"What you said makes sense.

"The human body is too fragile.

"Speaking of which, you're a Necromancer. I've never heard of any Necromancer being afraid of the cold…"

Matthew scratched his head.

"Is there such a saying?"

177 said definitely:

" It seems to be because of negative energy. As far as I know, negative energy is a natural thermal insulation. You can try to build a membrane made of negative energy on the surface of your skin to completely lock in the changes in your body's temperature.

"Do you want to try?"

Matthew thought for a moment and decided to give it a try.

Although 177 wasn't very reliable, as a Legendary construct and tower genie, his knowledge was very profound.

At this moment, Matthew's spiritual power had already recovered by half.

Only his stamina was still in a state of serious depletion.

This might have something to do with him performing many rounds of movements on the battlefield in the form of a giant silver dragon.

These actions would consume a lot of physical strength.

Especially the breath.

As one of the natural spellcasting abilities, Dragon Breath consumed the dragon's physical strength.

Spitting dragon breath in the form of a nature spirit was an overload.

Matthew estimated that it would take three to five days for his body to fully recover.

This was not a problem that could be solved by medicine.

It was a lack of elements.

Unless Matthew was willing to use some dark and vicious spells to absorb the elements.

Otherwise, he would have to endure it slowly.

And he obviously wouldn't do that.

" Looks like I'll have to use this ability carefully in the future. Even if I become a Silver Dragon, I'll have to use my claws more and my dragon breath less."

Matthew composed himself.

He took off his gloves and activated the Hand of Paleness. Then, he mobilized a portion of negative energy from it and formed a membrane on his body like 177 said.

At first, Matthew failed several times.

This was because the membrane he wanted to form was an extremely thin protective membrane that could not be identified by the naked eye.

However, this required a very high amount of spiritual power.

Matthew tried several times but failed.

In the end, he could only settle for the next best thing.

He took out a negative energy stone and extracted a large amount of negative energy from it. He used his skin as a medium to attach it to the stone.

Very quickly.

Matthew's body turned as black as charcoal.

Negative energy spread on the surface of his body.

Soon, it condensed into an extremely thick protective membrane!

Matthew moved.

It felt pretty good.

This layer of membrane did not affect his movement much, and it did have a great warming effect.

It just didn't look good on the outside.

At this moment.

There was a new message on the data panel.

..

[Hint: You have created a new cantrip. Please name it.]

[Cantrip Effect: Grants a high amount of negative energy immunity, prevents heat from flowing, and provides 1 point of natural armor.]

Naming successful!

Your self-created cantrip "Long johns" has been added to the spell list. You can share your self-created spell with your disciples or some contracted units!

..

You created a cantrip by guiding negative energy. Your negative energy elements +20! (Negative Energy/Death)

Your Creation Element +20 (Creation/Spell)

Accumulate more related elements, you will have the opportunity to explore related domains!

..

"It feels good!"

Matthew took off many of his clothes as if he was relieved of a burden.

This layer of long johns was more useful than anything else!

What made him even happier was that…

Not only did he take a big step towards the negative energy domain, but he had also accidentally created a spell in the process!

This might just be a cantrip.

But it was of great significance to Matthew.

After all, it was his first time.

There must be a second time.

" In the future, if I encounter some functions or effects that I can't achieve, I can consider guiding negative energy or life energy to complete them. I don't lack these energies, nor do I lack the mental strength to guide them. The essence of spells is actually very simple. The spells and the medium are just established formulas."

It might not be a problem to be a strict formula person, but Matthew still wanted to create something that belonged to him.

"Matthew!

"Why did you suddenly turn invisible?"

177 poked his head out from the side.

Matthew joked,

"Didn't you hear what Lord Ronan said just now?

" Mage skins are the trend these days!"
