This time, five options popped up on Yang Yu's panel:
[1. When the use of racial essence reaches the upper limit, you can choose to become a member of the [Fire Clan] and mutate into a [Fire Clan] (success rate 90%)
2. Fire resistance +70%, water resistance -20%
3. Passive skill [Burning Blood]. The longer you fight, the more your blood will boil. In combat, every 5 minutes, all attributes will increase by 1%, up to a maximum of 10%.
4. Active skill [Flame Cage]: surround the enemy with flames, restrict the enemy's movements, and force your way through, causing the trapped person to suffer varying degrees of burns.
5. Active skill [Energy Charge Assault], wrap the whole body with flames to attack. After the skill hits, the speed increases by 10%, lasts for 60 seconds, and can be stacked up to three times.]
To be honest, Yang Yu wanted to choose all four options except the first one which was a bit disappointing.
Especially when the last three skill options appeared, Yang Yu felt like he was about to change his destiny.
However, Yang Yu thought about it...
Whether there are good options or not, isn't it determined by the amount of racial essence used
This possibility is quite high.
There were so many good options that Yang Yu didn’t know what to choose.
Could you be quick and order the last four together
Yang Yu frowned, hesitant. It was the first time he encountered such a difficult option.
Before Yang Yu made a decision, Lotkar's pace slowed down and he said:
"General, I really don't want to disturb you, but I smell something strange."
"What's that strange smell?"
"It may be some kind of poison. It's over there. There are also the smells and traces left by the orcs when they fled."
Lotkar stopped and looked towards the dense forest in front of him on the right. The bushes in the forest were broken in several unnatural places.
After closing the panel, Yang Yu did not make a decision, but turned to Bai Jin and Iyas.
"Be prepared for battle. Huanghua, I'll leave the alert to you immediately."
"no problem."
Under Yang Yu's command, Iyas moved quickly, watching every corner of the jungle; while Bai Jin chanted the attack spell and shrank the magic circle in his palm so that he could attack at any time.
"Lotkar." Yang Yu patted Lotkar on the back. "Be careful, move in the direction of the poison carefully, and run away immediately if there is any danger."
Lotkar nodded to Yang Yu, moved his four legs, and followed the scent left in the jungle, tracking it step by step.
As the smell of poison grew stronger, Yang Yu and his team found a purple, swollen corpse behind a hidden bush.
The shoulder of the corpse was pierced by an arrow, the blood that flowed out turned black, and a foul stench filled the air.
The poison that seeped into the corpse gradually spread to the surrounding area along with the blood of the corpse. Many flying insects inhaled the poison in the air and fell from the sky, shaking their hind legs as if they were half dead.
Lotkar also suffered from slight poisoning due to inhaling a lot of poisonous mist.
"Lotkar."
Yang Yu took out an antidote pill and threw it to Lothkar, then distributed a few to Bai Jin and the others.
After confirming that the pill was effective, the icon on Lotkar disappeared, and Yang Yu asked Lotkar to take a few steps back.
Afterwards, Yang Yu asked Iyas to use her light arrows to try to heal the dead.
But the corpse was completely dead. The holy light lingered on him for a while, then dissipated without a trace.
Iyas shook her head vigorously. "No, there's no hope. Treating the dead is just a waste of time. Or, General, have you found anything?"
"No, I just want to see if he is really dead. Even though he looks like that, he is most likely dead." Yang Yu shook his head, "Mujin, freeze the body."
Chanting magic, Bai Jin's hard ice instantly froze the purple corpse.
After confirming that the poisonous gas emitted from the corpse had weakened, Yang Yu rolled off Lotkar's back and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
After folding his arms and thinking for a few minutes, Yang Yu climbed onto Lotkar's back again.
"This kind of thing shouldn't be an isolated case. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Something has invaded the Qinghe volcano under our control.
Mu Jin, contact General Dong Mu immediately and explain the situation to him."
After saying that, Yang Yu patted Lotkar on the back again.
"Lotkar, besides the smell of that man and the poison, can you smell anything else?"
Lotkar hesitated a little, looked around, and finally shook his head.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't find any other flavors besides these."
"It seems that the possibility of long-range sniping is not small. In short, we should contact General Dongmu first and inform him of the situation here. Ask him to send more people to search."
Yang Yu turned around to look at Bai Jin, but as soon as he turned around, Bai Jin quickly moved closer to Yang Yu and handed the crystal ball to him.
"General, we have received a call from the guerrilla forces that are deployed around the Qinghe Volcano to carry out missions."
"Hurry up and get through."
Under Yang Yu's order, Bai Jin quickly connected the crystal ball.
A panicked face appeared on the other side of the crystal ball. He was surrounded by low bushes and mottled light shone on his head.
As soon as he saw Yang Yu, the officer, who was breathing rapidly and heavily, suddenly smiled.
"General, General, I am glad to see you at last.
I have something important to report. My troops and I have been attacked.
Opposite us was a golden ape-man and a woman with black wings. My companions were all killed by them.
I kept running away and finally found a place in the bushes on the east side of Qinghe Volcano, where I was able to contact the general.
In short, General, General, I heard that they are going to hunt down other members of the guerrillas, so please be careful."
Before she finished speaking, a charming voice came from the crystal ball:
"Got you!"
The officer pointed the crystal ball in the direction where the sound came from, and a black arrow flew towards the crystal, smashing the crystal ball to pieces.
The image in the crystal ball in Bai Jin's hand instantly shattered into several pieces. An exposed figure flashed before Yang Yu's eyes, and disappeared into Bai Jin's crystal ball along with the shattered image.
"Is this the succubus that the brave Vokris mentioned
Why on earth would they attack our troops, and what is this golden ape all about?"
Yang Yu pinched his chin, fell into a brief contemplation, and then spoke decisively:
“Lotkar, change the route for now.
Go to the east of Mount Qinghe.
If we don’t address them, there’s a high chance that our gains will be wasted.”
Lotkar did not object to Yang Yu's decision and immediately took a step forward.
