In his previous life, Shien often saw various settings related to life force, which made him rather concerned about the nature of this power.
In particular, the mechanism that could be used to convert life force into mana made Shien wonder if the mages who wantonly used mana would suddenly die on the spot one day due to exhaustion of life force.
However, no matter which story it was, people seemed to use this power as if it was a matter of course, and in the end, they were still safe and sound, which made Shien puzzled no matter how hard he thought about it.
In the end, these points would be classified as "it's just a novel, and you'll lose if you take it too seriously", and no one would pursue it further.
Now, Shien felt that since he had encountered this problem in reality, he had to get an answer.
Otherwise, it would be the rhythm of driving someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder to death!
Naturally, Vivian could not know these thoughts in Shien's mind.
Hence, in response to Shien's question, Vivian replied with a smile.
"I don't think you should worry too much about this." Vivian said, "Because vitality is the power that any life uses to maintain its own survival, just like how flowers and trees need to absorb nutrients and water to grow. Perhaps without vitality, no life can survive, but vitality will still be consumed."
Hearing this, Shien somewhat understood.
"Simply put, life force is the same as nutrition. It is needed to maintain life activities. Without it, one will die from malnutrition or even malnutrition, but it can be replenished, right?"
Many people understood life force as something like an individual's lifespan, and thought that consuming it would shorten one's lifespan or something.
But in fact, life force was only used as the energy needed to carry out life activities.
Of course, life couldn't live without it, but even if it was consumed, one would not die immediately. Just like how a person had to eat to replenish the nutrients and energy needed by the body, life force could also be recovered through rest, sleep, and eating. At the same time, it was something that needed to be consumed to maintain life activities, and not a lifespan that absolutely could not be lost.
Of course, if one completely lost life force, there would be no way to carry out life activities, and one would eventually die.
However, under normal circumstances, it was the same principle as starvation. A moment of hunger would definitely not lead to death unless one was starved for a long time.
Therefore, life force could not be depleted all the time. Once it was not replenished and completely drained, it would be over.
As for mana, although it was transformed from life force, the human body originally needed to consume life force to maintain life activities. Now, it was just an additional function of transforming mana into mana. It was one of the many life activities of a person. No matter how much mana was transformed into, as long as one's daily rest, sleep, and food were maintained well, and as long as one's vital signs were all normal, allowing one's life force to be fully replenished, then it would not be exhausted.
"However, there is a direct relationship between mana and life force, and the connection between the two is stronger than that of ordinary life activities. If one 'mana is fully replenished, and of life force, of mana would not be depleted.
Vivian said. "
"Thanks to this, when a person's magic power has an abnormal condition, it will usually directly reflect on the body. You have to pay attention to it."
Vivian's words reminded Shien of one of his skills — [Immortality].
This skill could forcibly maintain Shien's vital signs by consuming mana, which was perhaps the best proof of the direct relationship between mana and life force.
"The world is the same as the human body. Maintaining all kinds of natural activities requires life force, but life force will still be naturally replenished, as long as there is no problem with the world itself."
Vivian said to Shien as she pointed at the pool icon on the map.
"These Mana sources are like our own life force, which can be converted into Mana. If a large amount of this Mana is gathered in a single location, it will take the form of spring water after a long period of transformation. It might even take on a solid form. At that time, it will become Magic Crystals or various magic ores and metals," Shi Feng explained.
Because of this, the spring water in the mana source could be used for various purposes, just like magic crystals. Whether it was to create magical potions, magical tools, or magical weapons, it could be used.
Of course, the larger the mana source, the higher the concentration of mana in the spring water. Some mana sources' spring water could even directly replace the effects of magic crystals, so it was also a very valuable resource.
"The problem is that it's not only us humans who want it, but also monsters," Vivian said with a serious expression. Vivian's expression became serious as she said, "Because monsters can directly absorb mana to obtain power, these mana sources are very attractive to monsters."
As a result, all kinds of monsters would naturally gather around the mana source, and the larger the mana source, the more powerful the monsters would be, making it very difficult to deal with.
"Moreover, the mana in the mana source may also affect and interfere with the surrounding environment, causing some special monsters to be born. That was how Gorim was born," Vivian said with a smile. "It's probably because its level is too low that it was chased away by the other monsters who have their eyes on the mana source. It can only attack people by the roadside and absorb metal ores to increase its strength, but it met you. How unlucky."
What else could Shien say?
He could only smile.
However, thanks to Vivian's thoughtful explanation, Shien finally understood why she came up with such a battle plan.
"Since the monsters will be attracted to the mana source, we just need to wait near the mana source. Sooner or later, our target will appear, right?"
Not only that, but if everything went smoothly, and the monsters fought each other for the mana source, Shien and the others could lie in ambush and wait for the battle to end. Then, they could come and reap the rewards, directly peeling off the skin of the Fire Salamanders that were killed by the monsters.
"The Fire Salamanders are gregarious monsters between Level 30 and Level 40. Based on the size of this mana source, it should be able to attract a group of Fire Salamanders."
Vivian summed it up in one sentence, telling Sean that this was exactly what she was planning.
Regarding this, Shien also only had one sentence to say.
"You're really treacherous."
Vivian, Tierre, Lumia, and Merica were all stunned by his words.
Then, Shien changed the topic and added another sentence.
"But I like it."
After saying that, Shien gave Vivian a thumbs up.
Vivian couldn't help but roll her eyes. Even Tierre and Merica didn't know how to react, and Lucia was the only one who still looked like she was the one who had been humiliated.
"Then, let's go."
Vivian put away the map.
The group packed their luggage, tied the carriage to a deep forest, and entered the Mangal Mountain Belt.
