Erlong Mountain, as seen from the sky, has undergone major changes, and many unique buildings have been added to the village.
"So hot!"
The doors and windows were closed, and outside Ji Ye's room, the temperature seemed to be much higher than the surroundings today.
"The village leader is practicing, no one is allowed to disturb him."
The two elite soldiers, who were wearing full sets of black and gray wolf leather armor and had reached the eighth level of mortal strength, were sweating profusely, but they stuck to their posts.
In the room, Ji Ye was sitting cross-legged on the floor, with most of his body uncovered, just because the pores on his entire body were letting out the slightest bit of heat.
Even, it has gathered into a big group on the head.
Fortunately, the material of the underpants revealed by Canglang King is very special. Even under such circumstances, it is enough to cover the key positions.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Ji Ye breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a strong wave of hot air that could be clearly felt hit all directions, causing all the windows and doors in the room to shake, and even the fallen leaves on the ground outside were moved. The temperature of the air in the room suddenly increased by more than ten degrees. !
"Finally, I have reached the fifth level of transformation!"
Ji Ye exhaled a breath, which made the surrounding temperature rise again.
Compared with the previous steps, the fifth level of transformation has greater significance.
Taking "'Nine Yang Divine Art'" as an example, from comprehension (zero), entry (one), mastery (two) to minor success (three, four), the first four levels are actually the accumulation of internal strength.
However, when you reach the fifth level of transformation, there will be a certain degree of quantitative change, because once the 'Nine Yang Divine Art' reaches the level of "mastery", the internal force can be transformed into true energy.
Theoretically, it is already possible to "release internal energy to the outside"!
"Zi!"
Ji Ye stretched out a palm and slapped it on the ground covered with brown bear fur. When he raised his hand, a burnt black palm print was clearly visible on it.
"During the battle, slap the palm up and drive the true energy into the opponent's body. It will probably make the opponent's insides burn. For creatures like the mirage, it is estimated that they can be killed through their shells, and ghosts It’s even more difficult to resist!”
Ji Ye evaluated the power of his imitation version of 'Nine Yang Divine Art' and found that it was definitely not inferior to the genuine version.
Moreover, since he can release such powerful heat, he also has the ability to resist heat. In theory, he can now directly hold the "cold iron barrel" with both hands like Ling Zhen and shoot, even because of his body The quality is stronger, and it can be as stable as a mountain even under impact.
Now eight days have passed since the original "fisherman's profit" battle.
Erlong Village, which swallowed the core of the mud monster stronghold five days ago, has been upgraded to the third level of transformation.
Although this time, I did not get a "Soul of Civilization" like when I was promoted for the first time.
However, after the upgrade, whether it was red fruits or stone milk near the stronghold, or even the soul jade that newly occupied the soul tribe's stronghold below, the growth and condensation speed had been significantly improved.
Obviously, the advantage of a stronghold after promotion will become wider and wider than that of other strongholds. It can be said that except for the Yingren stronghold, which also completed its second promotion two days ago, the other racial strongholds have completely lost their relationship with the human race. Qualified to compete!
"Fortress leader, you are out of seclusion!"
He saw Ji Ye walking out of the room.
Two specially selected elite eighth-level guards immediately saluted with reverence and surprise on their faces.
"Where are the leaders?"
Ji Ye asked the two of them.
In order to break through the "fifth level of metamorphosis", he stayed in seclusion for two full days this time, and he was indeed somewhat disconnected from the outside world.
"Leader Wu and his men are guarding outside the Metal Man's territory, while Chief Lu and Commander Ling are leading their men to duel with the forest monster!"
One of the guards replied respectfully.
Just standing outside the door, he could clearly feel the amazing heat.
The aura of the village leader who walked out of the room at this time seemed to be stronger than the "Hebei Jade Qilin" on Shuibo Liangshan, which was known as the best stick in the world in the memory he gained after being led away!
"Well... the time is probably almost there. It's time to solve the problem of forest monsters."
"You guys come with me, maybe you have a chance to play and give it a try!"
When Ji Ye heard this, he thought of something. After nodding, he went back to the house, took a few items and went down the mountain!
…
To the west of Erlong Mountain, there is a very peculiar forest. The trees inside are as smooth as green onions. Each root is nearly a hundred meters high and has a diameter as large as several people can hug it.
But the trees are covered with vines that are winding around!
The ground is more similar to a river in a tropical rain forest, with mud and swamps everywhere.
"Ula!"
"Ula!"
At this time, there were strange-looking creatures hanging on these vines.
This is a kind of alien that is similar in size to a gorilla, but does not have any fur on its surface. Instead, it is a smooth, mucous green color like a frog. It has four thick arms on its shoulders, one by one in the air. On the vines, something like Tarzan was leaping and roaring!
"Fortress Master!"
When Ji Ye and the two guards arrived, Lu Zhishen was standing with Ling Zhen, and behind them were nearly a hundred fully armed Erlong village soldiers.
There are also two "Hangtian Lei" artillery placed, with the muzzles facing the territory of the forest monster on the opposite side.
However, the two sides did not go to war directly because they were at the junction of the two strongholds.
At this time, a "duel" was going on.
"Ula!"
A green skin monster roared, holding thick stick-like weapons on all four arms, and rushed towards the human.
"bring it on!"
Opposite it was a human being.
A seventh-level mortal level two dragon cottage elite holding a shield, a one-handed sword, and full body armor fought against this forest monster with four arms.
The original plan of Erlong Village was to prepare to take action against the forest monsters and metal men after the stronghold was upgraded to the third level.
However, after the advance troops sent out to collect intelligence entered the territory of the forest monster, they were caught off guard and surrounded by a particularly tall "King of Forest Monsters" who jumped down from the vines with a bunch of forest monsters.
Later, these forest monsters did not kill the advance personnel. Instead, they released all the people back. At the same time, they stood on the edge of the forest unit and shouted "Ula, Ula" to the humans in a thunderous voice.
Faced with the forest monster's actions, humans undoubtedly couldn't figure out the other party's intentions at first. It wasn't until they invited Mr. Meng, who had a "universal translator," to come over that they understood what the forest monster meant.
The forest monsters actually asked humans to "duel" with them. The two sides fought a total of ten times. The winner could fight consecutively, and the loser could admit defeat.
If humans ultimately win, they voluntarily give up their strongholds.
Otherwise, humans will only suffer more losses if they attack by force, and they will destroy all resources before failure!
The alien race actually discussed the method of fighting with humans, which was undoubtedly a rare thing for humans.
After all, the previous hawks, soul tribes, and even mud monsters and mirage tribes all attacked immediately upon meeting. However, this kind of forest monster, which seems to be very reckless and violent at first glance, actually chose to fight with the human tribe first. "Communication", even "transaction".
Of course, Erlongshan's decision-makers would not fail to see the forest monster's intentions.
This seemingly rude and violent intelligent creature understands better than other races. They know that if they fight to the death with the human race whose stronghold has been upgraded to the third level, they will undoubtedly have no chance of winning, but if they can delay time, they may still be able to win. There is a glimmer of hope.
After some discussion, the humans chose to temporarily accept the duel proposal.
One of the reasons is that after the advance team entered, they found that the terrain of the forest monster's stronghold was even more difficult to defend and difficult to attack than that of the mirage clan.
The log, which is a hundred meters high and has a surface as smooth as green onions, is impossible for humans to climb.
Once the opponent hides in the tree, there is almost no way to attack it except artillery. It is not easy to quickly eliminate the opponent.
The second reason is that humans also have the idea of taking the opportunity to "train troops."
After all, although most of the elites of Erlong Village are quite powerful, they even have memories of going to Liangshan in the future.
But in the past, they had only faced humans or monsters, but this time they faced an intelligent alien race, which would undoubtedly allow them to gain more experience in battle!
In addition, you can also master the fighting methods of these forest monsters and prepare for a full-scale attack.
Yes, from the beginning to the end, human beings have decided to destroy the forest monster stronghold.
Regardless of whether the duel ends in victory or failure!
However, what the human decision-makers did not expect was that the result of the duel was neither victory nor defeat.
Instead, it was a draw for four consecutive days.
Just because once humans win five games, then the "King of Forest Monsters" will personally die.
After that, humanity's winning number was directly locked.
Even if Lu Zhishen took action personally, he would still be defeated.
Just because, during Li Qing's combat power detection, the strength level of the King of Forest Monsters suddenly reached the "fifth level of mortal transformation" and entered the level of "qualitative change".
This is undoubtedly somewhat incredible.
After all, even the mirage tribe with extremely rich resources has only reached the fourth level of mortal transformation.
However, if you combine it with the fact that there is not even a mortal level among the other forest monsters, you can probably understand the reason.
Obviously, the entire forest monster family's metamorphosis-level resources have been occupied by this forest monster king, so that not only does its strength break through to the fifth level of qualitative transformation, but its equipment is extremely luxurious.
The protective items worn on his body and the weapons held on his four arms are all mortal-level items.
It’s not even an ordinary-quality transcendental item!
In addition, it is difficult for Lu Zhishen to win with two fists and only a "cold iron Zen staff" in his hand.
"Ula, Ula..."
At this time, the thunderous shouts belonging to the forest monsters on the vines opposite suddenly grew louder again.
Just because on the battlefield, the seventh-level elite soldiers were smashed away with blood spurting from their mouths and noses, their arms were twisted, their shields were broken, and they flew away.
Although the forest monster on the opposite side had a knife stabbed through its stomach, it completely ignored it and walked towards the soldiers, slamming down the stick in its hand.
