Chen Lun took all the divination's predictions to heart.
'I have completed the Black Knight's test mission. I believe he will come to me soon... The mission description said that as long as you pass the test, you can participate in his plan. This may be related to the upcoming danger! '
He put away the poker and slowly stood up.
He stretched himself and all the bones in his body creaked.
"Fortunately, I have been promoted to the middle sequence and updated the memory grid of [Animal Imitation], so I have a certain amount of capital to join this battle."
Chen Lun's eyes became sharp.
"But before that... I still need to integrate my skills to maximize their power!"
He called out the panel and took a look at the experience points.
Together with Mr. Hu and Mr. Ping, I participated in the mission to destroy the pollution source. The experience points I gained from killing the polluting creatures and completing the mission as rewards totaled more than 80,000.
He added all of them to his main profession [Magician LV21], and upgraded it by 5 levels to [Magician LV26]. He then evenly added the acquired attribute points to his slightly lagging endurance and intelligence.
The final total level is 76, with strength and dexterity both at 69 points, and endurance and intelligence at 60 points.
Chen Lun stretched his body. The feeling of becoming stronger made him a little obsessed.
This is different from the gaming experience in his previous life. Now it is actually happening to him, which can bring him unparalleled confidence and a sense of security.
"Next is [Animal Imitation]... The snake form I developed myself is also very different from the previous one."
Chen Lun stood there, thinking quietly.
The original "Giant Snake Form" is a transformation technique developed with [Snake Body Incarnation] as the core, integrating some related characteristics.
But after a round of replacements, Chen Lun came up with a better solution.
[Snake Body Incarnation], [Steel Bone], [Didak's Armor] and [Touch of the Abyss], these four characteristics are activated at the same time, which will be the 2.0 version of the snake form, and will also be the "conventional transformation skill" redefined by Chen Lun.
Clack...
Chen Lun tried to display this new "big snake form" - the skin on his body began to grow a white stratum corneum, and finally gradually formed a layer of diamond-shaped flaky carapace that completely covered his body.
The joints such as the fists, fingertips, elbows and knees are given a second coat of shiny black exoskeletons with protruding fine spikes, which look quite ferocious.
There are also two white snake tentacles as thick as thighs standing on the shoulders. They are made of bones and flesh in the shoulder blade area. They can be extended and used for stalking, harassing the enemy, and holding and controlling.
'This normal form can be maintained for about an hour, and the bonus to its own combat power is also quite large... This form is more than enough for ordinary battles.'
Chen Lun clasped his five fingers together and threw a punch.
The snake tentacles on his back moved with it, spiraling around his arms and striking out with his fists, like three hands entwined together for a combined attack. The shock wave of the strong wind blasted the surrounding air apart, whistling, and crashed directly into the transparent crystal wall, making a dull sound.
The sound waves echoed in this enclosed attic space for a long time.
"I only used 30% of my strength... I can't help it. It's not suitable to use my fists and feet here."
Chen Lun felt a little regretful.
"I'll try again later somewhere... It would be best if I could find some contaminated creatures so I can practice on them."
He did not cancel this "normal state". After taking a deep breath, his next thoughts flashed through his mind -
After being promoted to [Magician], I can activate more characteristics at the same time, to the point of 70% or barely 80%.
Therefore, on the basis of the "normal state", if [Colorful Wings], [Blood of Decay] and [Heart of the Crazy Pot] are added, then it will enter a short period of explosive growth.
This transformation skill, equivalent to the second stage, was named "Extreme State" by Chen Lun.
'[Crazy Pot's Heart] Burns one's own blood, gaining a significant attribute bonus, while the body is surrounded by boiling blood... just like Mr. Pot when he is fighting seriously.
This is not only the core characteristic of the limit state, but also an important step to maximize the activation of [Blood of Decay]...'
Chen Lun’s eyes are deep.
In his imagination, once the extreme state is activated, the blood gushing out of his body, under the effect of [Blood of Decay], will be accompanied by a high-intensity extraordinary toxin, and any enemy approaching him will suffer terrible erosion.
'This is not the most important thing...'
Chen Lun gave a faint smile.
bass!
Two pairs of translucent colorful scaly wings appeared behind him, looking very dreamy.
"It's a bit weird for a grown man to wear such cute wings, hehe..."
Chen Lun chuckled and complained secretly.
The two snake tentacles on his shoulders began to disintegrate on their own, turning into snake tentacles as thin as fingernails, replacing the fine scales on the original wings.
This is an effect that is a fusion of [Touch of the Abyss], [Snake Body Incarnation] and the magic of "Body Separation".
The reason why the scaly wings are colorful is that the tiny scales refract the light. However, after being covered by dense snake tentacles, the whole thing turns into two pairs of white wings.
At first glance, she really looks like an angel from various literary works in previous lives.
But once you look closely, you will find that those "white feathers" are actually wriggling snake tentacles! It is very scary, and people with trypophobia will be unable to bear it!
"These two pairs of scaly wings are the strongest killer in the extreme state!"
Chen Lun lowered his eyes and thought to himself.
Not only does it have the ability to fly, it can also perform difficult operations such as high-speed flight, hovering, backwards, and straight up and down, and it also has extremely terrifying defensive and lethal power!
Under high-speed vibration, thousands of snake tentacles swing and bite together, like the "superposition state" of two pairs of irregular electric saws.
The slightest touch will result in death or injury.
Worse still, it might shatter into powder on the spot!
'After entering the limit state, my energy consumption will increase exponentially. After all, I need to maintain the release of many skills at the same time, and I also need to burn my own blood... I estimate that I can only hold on for a few minutes at most.'
Chen Lun exhaled a long breath, removing all the effects on his body, leaving only the most original [Colorful Wings].
Buzz!
He soared into the air on the spot and flew out of the skylight at the top of the spire.
The scaly wings vibrated at high speed. Chen Lun's speed was extremely fast. He left a trail of afterimage and disappeared from the original place, heading towards the depths of the pile of rocks.
…
…
…
A moment later.
On the gloomy plain covered with black stones, a figure was walking in the dim mist.
This person slowly walked out of the fog, and Chen Lun's handsome face gradually emerged.
"This is my first time exploring this new area... Philip's message reminded me before that it's best not to set foot here before being promoted to the middle sequence, because the danger is far greater than the natural forest."
He frowned slightly, his effective line of sight ahead was less than three meters.
The surroundings were shrouded in thick, lingering gray-black fog, which not only dimmed the light but also blocked out most of the sound.
This can easily make people feel extremely uneasy, after all, no one knows whether some monster will attack from the fog in the next second.
At this moment, there was silence, with only the slow and rhythmic sound of footsteps. Chen Lun was following his intuition.
He hoped to encounter some polluting creatures to test his two newly developed transformation skills, gain some experience points, and reach the maximum level as soon as possible.
After walking for about half an hour, Chen Lun suddenly stopped.
"My spiritual intuition is changing. There is an unknown creature at the eleven o'clock position..."
Without hesitation, a card suddenly appeared in his naturally hanging palm and he threw it casually.
call out!
The cards cut through the thick fog, but soon the fog filled in again from all around.
Chen Lun waited quietly for a few seconds, but there was no movement in front.
He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his hand to cover his left eye.
The next second, a blood-stained card appeared in his hand, but his eyeball disappeared.
This is to use the magic trick of "body separation" to split one's eyeballs, and then perform the magic trick of "resurrection" to exchange positions with the cards.
In this way, Chen Lun can achieve the purpose of long-range exploration.
He soon discovered that there was suddenly an extra area in his field of vision. He was looking upwards, and his eyeballs should be on the ground. He was looking at a deserted open space with dozens of black-skinned humanoid creatures gathered together and communicating about something.
The fog in this open space is thinner and the view is wider.
Those dark-skinned humanoids were thin and hunched, with extremely ugly appearances, and did not look like humans at all. They wore ragged and dirty robes and each held a homemade spear.
But what was surprising was that the spear head was some kind of black and shiny stone. It was very irregular, as if it was broken into pieces and a sharp piece was picked up to serve as the spear head.
The swirling fog was suddenly reflected in his eyeballs, and Chen Lun instantly obtained the information of those hunchbacks -
They are called "Moonless People" and are a kind of polluted creatures that live in groups on the Haze Plains. Their normal strength is barely at the level of a [Sequence 8] transcendent, but they can transform into werewolves and their physical strength can break through to the level of [Sequence 7].
Chen Lun once again performed the magic trick of "Five Senses". His eyes, dozens of meters away, were suddenly able to "see" the conversation between the Moonless People.
But he was soon disappointed.
Because he couldn't understand the language those guys were communicating in at all, or it was not a language at all, but more like the simple roar of animals.
They were very excited. One of them was holding his bleeding arm with a look of pain on his face, most likely injured by the flying card knife just now.
Suddenly, one of the leading Moonless people noticed something and turned his head sharply to look at the eyeball. He screamed and raised his cane, which was completely different from that of his other companions, and pointed it at the eyeball.
Sizzle!
The crutch inlaid with black stones suddenly emitted a red lightning as thick as a finger, striking straight at the eyeball.
Chen Lun made a prompt decision, floated his eyeballs, and prepared to dodge.
But the speed of the red lightning was too fast and it struck the eyeball in the next second.
Bang!
Chen Lun suddenly opened his eyes.
He raised his palm and looked at his index finger.
The index finger had already taken on a charred look and was beginning to spread towards the base of the finger and even the palm.
"Fortunately, I used the magic of 'damage transfer' to transfer the injury to my eye to my finger... That red lightning not only has high temperature, but also has some strange infectious properties?"
Chen Lun pondered for a moment.
With a flick of his hand, the charred index finger that was damaged by the red lightning fell off by itself and shattered into powder after hitting the ground.
But the next second, accompanied by green fluorescence, his fingers grew back.
"Heh... Interesting polluting organisms. I'll use you as my experiment."
