After opening the treasure chest, the exploration of the Withered Forest is basically over.
However, as was Rogge's habit, he still took the time the next day to carefully sweep the entire withered forest again to prevent any omissions.
Of course, he also gained something. Some of the missed monsters contributed a lot of residual souls and extraordinary materials. In addition, Rogge also found something special.
[You found a black stone platform, do you want to activate it? ]
activation
Could it be some kind of mechanism
Roger thought for a moment and then opened it.
[You activated the black stone platform.]
[The mysterious seal seems to have loosened. ]
Rogge waited for a moment but saw nothing further.
"Is there something loose? Maybe there is more than one stone platform?"
He seemed to be thinking about something.
Judging from the description of this stone platform, it should be consistent with what he guessed.
But his exploration time for the day was almost over.
After taking out the key, Roger returned to the Green.
Now, the crew members on the Green have basically focused on cultivation.
Rogge also often gave them extra low-level residual spirits to help them improve their skill levels.
As for the character level, Rogge felt that there was no rush for that. He had to first upgrade his character rank to that of an apostle.
The crew members also know that the place they will be heading to in the future is a dangerous area outside the five major seas. Without sufficient strength, they can only hold back their teammates.
Even the more playful Nomi is now concentrating on learning meditation and visualization.
Rogge will also upgrade his skills again at the harvest point in the Withered Forest.
[Title: Roger]
[Level: 19]
[Body: 23]
[Spirit: 23 (+1)]
[Faith: 10]
[Rank: Extraordinary]
[Special skills: Alchemy (Extraordinary) lv6, Mist Flash (Extraordinary) lv5, Knowledge Comprehension (Extraordinary) lv1, Bone Stripping (Extraordinary) lv1, Pharmacy (Extraordinary) lv1, Sword Skills (Extraordinary) lv1, Bone Spirit Raising lv10...]
[Life skills: Mysticism (Extraordinary) lv6, Blacksmith (Extraordinary) lv3, Fishing (Extraordinary) lv1, Craftsman (Extraordinary) lv1, Sailing lv3, Cooking lv4, Planting lv2...]
[Derived skills (click to view): Sword Skills·Reed Cutting, Mysticism·Peeping into Secrets, Fishing·Vision. ]
The two purple residual souls were still used by Rogge to improve [Alchemy] and [Mysticism].
These two skills are very important to him.
The former is related to the promotion of the apostle's rank, while the latter will bring him more useful knowledge. The importance of other skills has to be placed at the back.
"Go see what the elf is doing."
When Roger was about to go and see the elf on the ship.
The text that suddenly appeared attracted all his attention.
[Your clone's transformation is complete. ]
[Your clone's rank is upgraded to Apostle, and the upper limit of the level is increased to level 50! ]
[Your clone talent 'Transformation' has been enhanced, the transformation efficiency and devouring efficiency have been improved, you can transform your skills! ]
[Due to the upgrade of rank, the quality of your clone remains unchanged.]
[Based on the effect of your clone's talent 'Transformation', you can choose any skill to transform. ]
Rogge was dazzled by the series of prompts. After a while, he finished reading them. He did not rush to choose skill upgrades, but clicked on the information panel of the clone.
[(unnamed)]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: Boss]
[Level: 31]
[Rank: Apostle]
[Skills: Dark Hidden (Extraordinary) lv2, Absolute Touch (Extraordinary) lv1, Ice Spike lv8, Bloody Field lv3. ]
[Talent: Transformation, Blood-sucking Leather.]
[Explanation: The Dark Sea Hunter is a new species that evolved after absorbing the dandruff of a mysterious creature. It has now been promoted to the rank of Apostle and possesses a power that terrifies all creatures in the sea.]
This transformation allowed Deep Sea Blood Touch to advance two levels and directly enter the Apostle level.
However, it seems that apart from the rank, Deep Sea Bloodtouch has basically not changed.
After pondering for a moment, Rogge did not choose the transformation skill immediately, but changed his perspective to check the current state of the Deep Sea Blood Touch.
When Rogge saw the current appearance of the Deep Sea Blood Touch, he was surprised.
Although there was no significant change in its physical state, the length of the Deep Sea Bloodtouch had now reached more than seven meters!
The body became larger, the tentacles became longer, and there were even two new tentacles. The color of the shell also became darker.
In addition, Rogge also realized through his feedback that there was a strange force surrounding the body of Deep Sea Blood Touch, like a protective shield.
A completely terrifying sea monster.
After Roger withdrew his gaze, he focused on his skills.
According to the prompts given in the information text, he can also choose a skill of Deep Sea Blood Touch to upgrade.
After saving the file, he pondered for a moment, began to try one by one, and finally chose to upgrade the Absolute Breath Touch.
[You have chosen Absolute Touch (Extraordinary) lv1 for transformation. ]
[Breathless Touch (Extraordinary) lv1 → Fear Extension (Apostle) lv1.]
[Fear Extension (Apostle) lv1: Your tentacles can create spreading shadow tentacles in a longer range. The spreading shadow tentacles have all the power of the main tentacles and will apply the "fear" effect to the bound enemies.]
After some attempts, Rogge obtained information about the transformation of several skills.
Simply put, the most worthwhile upgrades are only Absolute Touch and Dark Hide.
However, after the transformation of the hidden skill, its effect is still limited to small monsters. It is very useful when mowing the grass, but not very effective when punching into a jerky rack.
However, the Ice Spikes and Blood Field, after transformation, are only extraordinary level skills, which is not cost-effective.
So Rogge finally chose to transform the Touch of Absolute Destruction into the Extension of Terror.
This skill is very practical and effective, and has a wide range of uses.
Finally, there is the question of how to call the avatar.
This gave Rogge a headache. Why was there no built-in title this time
His naming skills have never been very good.
After struggling for a long time, Master Luo finally decided to name it [Touch of Fear] after much thought.
Inspired by the description and original name of the Reach of Terror ability.
After naming it, Rogge breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this name shouldn't be a failure.
[Shadow of Fear]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: Boss]
[Level: 31]
[Rank: Apostle]
[Skills: Fear Extension (Apostle) lv1, Dark Concealment (Extraordinary) lv2, Ice Spike lv8, Blood Field lv3. ]
[Talent: Transformation, Blood-sucking Leather.]
Looking at the information from Shadow of Fear, Roger nodded with satisfaction.
After thinking for a moment, he decided not to look at the elf.
Let’s defeat the big boss in the underwater cave first!
Now that Shadowtouch of Fear is already an apostle-level monster, I believe that even if I cannot defeat him, I can still fight back.
After making the decision, Rogge quickly used the key to teleport the Shadow of Terror to the main entrance of the underwater cave.
"Okay, come on."
The Deep Sea Blood Touch slowly touched the vortex portal.
Since it was the final big boss, Rogge did not use the automatic exploration function, but operated it personally.
After the screen was dark for a while, light began to appear.
This place is in the shallow sea with plenty of light. There is a huge altar under your feet, surrounded by several reef pillars that reach the sea surface.
In the center of the altar, a huge monster was resting with his eyes closed.
It's Pralas!
Around it were dozens of soul light balls like the ones Rogge had seen before, being pulled towards it by a mysterious force.
In front of it, there was a large fiery red scale floating, and a strange light was flashing on the scale.
[Lava Dragon Scale]
[Effect: Extremely wide-ranging.]
[Explanation: It comes from a sub-dragon, but even so, the dragon scales still contain powerful power. ]
"Dragon scales?"
"It seems that this guy is using rituals and dragon scales to break through the limitations of his bloodline and advance to a higher rank."
Roger thought to himself.
After seeing this scene, a lot of knowledge emerged in his mind.
The extraordinary bloodline of this winged snake Prilas should be relatively thin.
Extraordinary creatures with rare extraordinary bloodlines often find it difficult to advance to higher ranks.
If you want to get promoted in the future, you can only find some special methods.
"The owner of that mysterious dandruff must be an unimaginable being."
Roger couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
Before devouring the mysterious dander, the Dread Shadowtouch was an extraordinary species called the Dark Sea Hunter.
This species can be promoted to the rank of apostle, but it will definitely not be so easy.
Deep Sea Blood Touch's advancement was very smooth. After just a few transformations, he was automatically promoted to Apostle.
This shows that the mysterious dandruff has an absolutely huge impact on the improvement of the bloodline related to Deep Sea Blood Touch.
What’s terrifying is that a mere piece of dandruff can do such a thing. It’s hard to imagine how powerful its owner must be.
As his thoughts raced, Rogge also noticed the periphery of the altar.
Outside the altar, three three-headed lizards and dozens of ordinary lizards knelt on the ground with their heads pressed against the ground, offering their highest faith to Prilas.
Then, Rogge turned his gaze to the huge winged snake.
[Winged Serpent - Prilas]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: Lord]
[Level: 30]
[Rank: Extraordinary (Promotion in progress)]
[Explanation: Prilas is a winged snake with outstanding talent, but due to the limitations of its own bloodline, even with its outstanding talent, Prilas cannot break through the upper limit. However, it did not give up and found another way to advance. ]
Combining the current situation and Prilas's explanation, it is using some kind of ritual to complete its rank promotion.
At this time, Prilas is at the critical juncture of being promoted to an apostle!
It seems to be due to Rogge's arrival.
The situation is subtly changing.
"hiss-"
Prilas stuck out his tongue and let out a low hissing sound.
The three three-headed lizards beside the altar heard the call and came quickly, guarding beside Prilas and roaring warningly at Rogge.
"hiss!"
Buzz—
Prilas roared again and shook his body. A violent shock wave burst out from the center of it and its scales, spreading out in all directions.
The scales began to slowly move towards Prilas' chest.
The connection between the surrounding soul light groups and it also became closer.
Roger watched quietly without panicking.
He paid no attention to the three three-headed lizards guarding Prelas.
If he hadn't wanted to see what Prilas would look like after completing his promotion, he would have interrupted him long ago.
The three three-headed lizards on the opposite side saw that Rogge did not move, and did not attack him. They just guarded Prilas closely and looked at Rogge vigilantly.
After a while again, the relationship between the soul light ball, scales, and Prilas became closer, and the speed of operation increased rapidly.
In the end, the connection between the three finally reached a critical value.
The next moment, a shocking scene happened.
"hiss!"
Prilas let out a ferocious roar, lowered his head and bit down viciously on his abdomen.
In an instant, blood flowed and flesh flew everywhere.
Prelas was merciless, tearing at his own abdomen as if he were biting his prey.
"What? Why are you hurting yourself?"
Rogge was a little dumbfounded.
But he continued reading anyway.
After tearing a bloody hole in his abdomen, Prilas finally stopped his self-mutilation and looked up at the sky with his blood-covered head.
Blood trickled down its jaw.
The surrounding soul light balls have been exhausted at this time.
The fiery red scales seemed to receive guidance and automatically stuck to its wounds, bursting out with lava-like energy that spread in all directions.
In an instant, a scarlet energy like magma spread to every part of Prilas' body like blood vessels.
Phew!
Four lumps of flesh bulged out of Prilas's abdomen, and then they instantly burst open the next moment, revealing blood-red forelimbs and hind limbs.
The bloody veins of lava continued to spread, and soon covered Prilas' wings.
The sides of the head, which originally looked like a snake, now grew red bone spurs, winding and twisting.
It could no longer suppress the impulse in its heart and roared to the sky.
"Roar-"
The cry of Prilas also changed drastically like his appearance, and it became a slightly hoarse roar with a hint of dragon's flavor.
But, Rogge understood that it was not a dragon at all, it could only be said to have a little bit of a dragon's appearance.
[Dragon-like Lava Snake—Purelas]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: Boss]
[Level: 31]
[Rank: Apostle]
[Description: A dragon-like creature that evolved through a ritual by absorbing the blood of a sub-dragon. It possesses extremely rare dragon blood and a trace of lava power, and is extremely powerful.]
Dragon-like, without even becoming a subdragon.
But even so, it was able to break through the limitations of its own bloodline and become a transcendent creature at the apostle level.
After being promoted to an apostle, Prilas slowly lowered his head, and looked at the Shadow of Terror with his cold vertical pupils, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Although it didn't know why Rogge appeared here, it had no intention of letting this guy go.
At this time, Rogge, who had finished watching the real-time CG animation, retracted his gaze.
Now that the promotion is complete, the main event begins.
But before that, Rogge had to deal with the audience first.
Swish!
The Shadow of Fear spread out several tentacles, which were covered with black mysterious energy.
At the same time, dark fog suddenly appeared beside the three-headed lizards in front of Prilas. The fog turned into tentacles and rolled them up tightly.
Roger exerted a little force.
"hiss!"
Bang!
The three-headed lizard could only make sounds of fear under the influence of the shadow touch, and then died in the struggle.
[Your clone, Shadow of Terror, killed three-headed lizards and gained combat experience.]
[Your clone, Shadow of Terror, killed three-headed lizards and gained combat experience.]
[…]
The three-headed lizard, which was originally quite troublesome for the Deep Sea Blood Touch, was now no match for the Fear Shadow Touch.
Swish!
The other lizards saw this and launched a prayer attack on Rogue without hesitation, with streams of venom flying towards Rogue.
But Roger did not move.
When these attacks came into contact with the outer surface of the Fear Shadow's body, they were instantly affected by a strange force and disappeared into thin air.
This is the suppression from a higher level!
One ball a day!
