As Qin Ran's figure fell, the shining core of the [Sage's Stone] paused slightly.
Then, an almost dazzling light burst out.
While breathing, the core of [Philosopher's Stone] becomes like a little sun.
In the endless brilliance, a chant-like recitation suddenly sounded—
"Knowledge is like a ladder, if you walk on it, you will reach the top!"
"Life is like a gem, embedded in it, it will be brilliant!"
"Wealth is like a rock, if you hold it in your arms, it will be heavy!"
"Fate is like floating catkins, if the wind blows in it, it will be unpredictable!"
"you… "
"What is needed?"
The recitation sound was very loud, like thunder, and it attracted Qin Ran's attention as soon as it appeared.
However, soon, Kieran's attention was shrouded by places where the light could not shine.
behind him!
Bathed in the radiance of the [Philosopher's Stone] core, a shadow appeared behind him.
Under the light, the shadow becomes deeper and thicker.
Black as ink.
It also flows and twists like ink.
"Knowledge is the key to death!"
"Life is a dry stone at your feet!"
"Wealth is the treasure of the heart!"
"Fate is a fool of the superior!"
"You saw me, naturally... it's up to you!"
Under Qin Ran's gaze, his shadow seemed to come alive, and the low-pitched ravings could not stop echoing in his ears. Qin Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood still, one side was bright and the other was dark.
The voice in the brilliance became louder and louder.
The voice in the shadows became more and more strange.
But this didn't affect Qin Ran at all.
His powerful mental power made him ignore these.
He carefully inspected and observed the difference in the core of [Philosopher's Stone].
And this kind of inspection and observation seems to have aroused the dissatisfaction of the two voices.
In the brilliance, the oppressive feeling was like a rock trying to press on Qin Ran's body.
In the shadows, the coldness felt like a sword on Kieran's throat.
uncomfortable.
Even, it can be said to be uncomfortable.
The very intuitive feeling made Qin Ran frowned, the force in his body moved slightly, and the aura of 'gluttony' suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, the light froze and the shadows froze.
Then, the two shrank back like rabbits who had encountered a beast in the wilderness.
The core of [Sage's Stone] is still the core of [Sage's Stone].
Even more urging.
Everything before it seems that nothing happened.
And only Qin Ran knew what happened.
Some small measures.
Or, to be precise, some sort of defense mechanism.
It may be the core of [Philosopher's Stone].
It is also possible that Victor added it later.
However, no matter which one it is, it is very dangerous.
Kieran was sure that none of the 'respondents' would end well.
As for the answer, what will happen
Sorry, he doesn't want to know.
He prefers to solve the immediate problems in his own way, rather than stepping into the opponent's home court.
Therefore, when Qin Ran pinched the core of the [Philosopher's Stone], the 'gluttony' aura reappeared.
This time, a 'spot of light' burst out from the shining core of the [Philosopher's Stone], fleeing to the distance, but before flying far, it was swallowed by the 'Gluttony'.
There is no doubt that this is a stress device set by Victor.
tasty.
The already raging five sources of power in Qin Ran's body grew again at an exaggerated speed.
Still at the 'basic' level.
Just as Qin Ran guessed, even if he reached the limit of his body at the moment, the five sources of power still didn't have any signs of 'advancement', as if they were locked by the chains in the void.
Moreover, as if sensing the changes in Kieran's body, the void reappeared.
Qin Ran raised his head and saw the stone gate.
The surrounding chains flickered non-stop.
He raised his hand again and approached the gleaming chain.
After casually grabbing one, the feeling of danger reappeared.
Just like in memory: there is a fatal crisis!
"Is this your layout?"
Qin Ran loosened the chain and looked at the stone 'gate' again, his tone suddenly relaxed.
This was Qin Ran's rare relaxation after entering the dungeon world in front of him.
Because, he finally found a trace of 'broker' purpose.
That's right, it's a 'broker'!
When facing the 'wind of malice', Qin Ran was sure that the other party was sent by the 'broker', at least, he had a considerable relationship with the 'broker'.
Because, apart from the 'Broker', Kieran couldn't think of anyone else who could send out such dead soldiers.
Therefore, after entering here, Kieran was full of vigilance.
He didn't think that the 'Broker' had spent such a large price without any purpose, which was to let him enjoy the 'only' copy world once.
There must be a secret here!
And this secret has something that can help the 'broker'.
For example: further 'lifting' the seal.
Or is it…
Push open the stone door.
Of course, these are not the handiwork of 'brokers'.
The opponent is very powerful, Kieran admits this, but the opponent has not yet reached the level of ignoring the rules of the huge city.
However, the other party is very cunning.
Using the rules of the huge city a little bit, the other party will definitely not mind.
And it would be even better if he, an 'obscure guy', could be eliminated when using this rule.
Moreover, the other party is quite sure to do this!
After all, according to normal thinking, after removing the chains on his body, his attention will naturally notice the flickering chains around him, as well as the stone door.
Even if there is a sense of crisis in their hearts, most people will try it.
Even the timid and prudent people have the idea of 'try it a little, and withdraw if it doesn't work'.
But such an attempt will inevitably bring disaster!
Qin Ran trusted his intuition very much.
Similarly, he also believed in his own strength.
When his strength has not been completely unblocked, the flickering chains bring a sense of crisis, which he fully recognizes, but as his strength is gradually unblocked and almost returned to the peak, such a sense of crisis is still there. However, there was already a trace of doubt in my heart.
At his peak, he will face a fatal crisis.
The existence of such a crisis is at least 6+, or even 7.
And what he saw at this moment, even if it was as powerful as the Three Kings, it was only 4 to 5.
Of course, it does not rule out that there are some hidden unknown existences.
but!
That is the dungeon world we are in at the moment.
It's not the seal in his body.
Some 'boundaries' that seal his skills and talents have reached 6+, or even 7, Kieran just thinks about it.
He didn't think the huge city would overestimate him so much.
What's more, in fact, the seal this time is not complete enough: the spiritual attribute has reached level 5, the contract power of the upper-level evil spirit of the contract entourage has exceeded the upper limit, and the power of the "Sword of Dawn" and "Watcher" has exceeded the limit, etc. It all shows that the seal The limit is around the 5th order, not beyond this category.
Therefore, Qin Ran was puzzled.
His instincts don't lie.
The seal also exists.
So…
Where does the danger come from
When this question appeared in Qin Ran's heart, he subconsciously thought of the 'wind of malice' and how he entered the world of the only copy.
He got the chance to enter here only after killing the 'malicious intruder'!
With such a reminder, a very bold guess immediately flashed in Qin Ran's mind: What if those gleaming chains and stone gates were not seals, but protecting him
After this bold guess appeared, it was like a flood spreading, causing Kieran's thinking to completely diverge.
It looks like a seal, but it is actually protection.
Protect him, an outsider, from being targeted by the 'outside'!
Only the danger from the outside world can make him feel a fatal crisis.
Therefore, once he opens the protective 'lock' and 'door', he will be exposed to all the people in the world in front of him.
What kind of scene would that be
Qin Ran felt his scalp go numb just thinking about it.
Of course!
Having made such a guess, Kieran needs a little bit of proof.
He needs to find the true seal position of his skills, titles, and talents.
He had some guesses about the exact location.
But if he wants to lock it, he needs some help.
Qin Ran looked at the core of [Sage's Stone].
"At the expense of some of the surrounding equipment and props, I hope to see where my abilities are sealed."
Qin Ran considered his words carefully.
He avoided the appearance of words such as skills, titles, and talents.
Just instinctive caution.
hum!
[Sage's Stone] The core trembled slightly.
After more than a dozen pieces of surrounding equipment and props disappeared, Kieran saw his own 'skeleton'.
Full body skeleton.
On his bones, the original branded 'secret text' was bound by chains as thin as hair strands. Although it did not affect his actions, it restricted his extraordinary ability.
Then, there is the heart.
There are also similar chains on the two hearts.
One of them spread out and wrapped around the left hand.
Seeing this scene, the corner of Qin Ran's mouth curled up.
He proved his guess.
Those chains and gates of the void are not seals against him.
As for what's next
Then it becomes very simple.
"I use part of the equipment and props as the price, I hope to see the seal on my bones unlocked!"
Qin Ran spoke.
After the voice fell, the surrounding equipment and props began to disappear in pieces.
Correspondingly, system prompts keep appearing.
[Skill unarmed combat. Extraordinary two-legged combat unblocked!]
[Skill gunpowder weapon. Light firearm unlocked!]
[Skill tracking unlocked!]
[Skill dodge unlocked!]
[Skill stealth unlocked!]
…
With system prompts one after another, Kieran could see the secret magic words on his bones light up again, and they once again nourished the flesh and blood around him.
Moreover, without the original chaos and darkness, it reached the best state almost instantly.
call! call!
Qin Ran took a few deep breaths, felt the discomfort that had just arisen in his body, and after it quickly disappeared, his eyes looked at the two hearts bound by chains.
There is no doubt that this is the root of the five sources of power.
Only after unlocking, he can truly return to his peak state.
only…
Quantitative change really can not lead to qualitative change
Feeling the five sources of 'basic' level in his body getting thicker and thicker, Kieran hesitated a little, and he was ready to give it a try.
For Qin Ran, he firmly believes that quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes.
If there is no qualitative change, it can only mean that the 'quantity' is not enough!
Just like him at the moment!
Quantity, more than enough.
But the body can't accommodate more volume, and can't achieve qualitative change.
Then it is natural to make the body stronger!
"At the cost of surrounding equipment and props, improve my physique to the limit!"
Qin Ran said clearly.
Since it is the equipment and props that cannot be taken out of the dungeon world, it is natural to maximize the benefits. Seeing the disappearing equipment and props in pieces, under Kieran's perception, his body began to grow rapidly.
[Gain wish power, constitution 3 (strong) → 4 (weak)]
[Get the power of prayer, constitution 4 (weak) → 4 (normal)]
[Get the power of prayer, constitution 4 (normal) → 4 (strong)]
…
When a large level becomes stronger, almost every time the system prompts, dozens of equipment and props will disappear, and the last prompt is that the legends and advanced level props from the Three Kings’ private vault are missing one by one. It turned into smoke and was absorbed by the core of the [Philosopher's Stone], but the absorption did not stop.
[Philosopher's Stone] The core's brilliance keeps flickering.
Not so much!
Without hesitation, Kieran combined [Sharp Standard Sword], [Godo Chain], [Akka Blade (Fragment)], [Healing Potion (Witch Gu)], [Bracelet of Containing Soul], [Burning Sword] Blade] and other equipment items that cannot be taken out were thrown in.
Next, there is [Sage's Stone (Fragment)].
However, this did not make the [Philosopher's Stone] core react as it should.
Undoubtedly, it is not enough.
Qin Ran frowned.
He still has some props on his body at the moment.
Except for the equipment and props that can be taken out, there are only those left that are very likely to be used, such as [The Stone of Siodi (Complete)].
After a little hesitation, Kieran took out [Goethe's Blade] and [Bloody Moon].
When these two weapons with a quality of 2 and a strange object with a quality of 4 were put into it, the core of the [Philosopher's Stone] glowed brilliantly.
[Get the power of prayer, constitution 4 (strong) → 5 (weak)]
…
Boom, boom, boom!
When his physique reached 5, Kieran's two hearts started beating powerfully.
The chains bound to it can hardly restrain such a jump.
They can only be firmly attached to Qin Ran's heart, preventing the heart from escaping from their shackles.
And at this time, 'Gluttony' felt the change of his brother for the first time, it no longer restrained its own transformation speed, instead it began to do its best to transform the energy it swallowed.
In an instant, the five sources of power at the basic level skyrocketed.
Just two or three breaths, Qin Ran's original physical limit was exceeded, and he began to approach the current physical limit.
Qin Ran paid close attention to all this.
He was ready to fail.
But secretly looking forward to success.
And everything is looking good.
When the five sources of power reached the limit of the fifth-order body at the moment.
Some fantastic changes started.
They started to advance automatically!
Quantitative changes have begun to cause qualitative changes!
The corners of Qin Ran's mouth were tightly pursed and turned up.
In his field of vision, the chains binding the two hearts broke with a snap.
