The orange sun slowly touched the horizon, and the search and rescue around Shining Mountain was still ongoing. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info halfway up the mountain, a device that looks like a hot air balloon slowly rises into the air and burrows into the pitch-black ball on the top of the mountain.

Not long after the hot air balloon burrowed into the black ball, more similar devices came out of the black ball and slowly fell halfway up the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, in a broken square, dozens of figures waited. More than a dozen elders of the Temple of Radiance stood silently in the center of the crowd.

The square on the ground has been damaged by earthquakes and has been leveled repeatedly by the elements. There was no traction on the ground, and several hot air balloons slowly descended and landed straight on the square.

Crowded figures came out of the huge basket one after another. The first is Ralph, who is spreading the word that Du Shen has been taken away by the Demon King. Before Ralph could walk into the crowd, Parley, the imam in the crowd, took the initiative to ask, "How's it going?"

Ralph walked up to the imam and replied solemnly, "The situation is very bad, I'm afraid I can't send anyone in again." The ground inside has cracked and there is no way to settle down. According to earlier searches, the losses this time were very heavy. I'm afraid that all the materials inside will be snatched away by Du Shen's bastard!"

Ralph has wronged Du Shen to some extent. The secret realm disintegrated seriously, and many materials had been destroyed and disappeared before Du Shen could enter the secret realm. After Du Shen entered the secret realm, he was also afraid that the secret realm would completely disintegrate and he would not be able to return to the Manluo world. So he didn't stay long, and naturally there weren't many supplies looted.

Most of the materials stored in the secret realm were obtained by Du Shen, and most of them were lost successively because of the collapse of the secret realm. Ralph and the others failed to salvage much supplies, and could only blame the Temple for its slow response and slow movement.

Despite their mental preparations, the people present were still speechless.

After a long time, Parley asked bitterly: "The secret realm collapsed, could it be Du Shen's doing?"

"Impossible!" "He can't have that much power!" several denials rang out one after another.

Parley looked around at everyone with a sharp gaze: "So, how would he know?"

A gray-haired elder stepped forward: "The secret realm also has a lifespan. This secret realm, we have received and transformed from our predecessors. It's not unusual for wizards to know about its disintegration. What's more, there were such obvious signs earlier. Blame us for being careless!"

Compared to Du Shen's destruction of the secret realm, everyone was more willing to believe the explanation given by the white-haired elder.

The shrive-skinned elder raised his voice: "The loss is irreparable. What I'm more worried about now is Du Shen's purpose. In the secret realm, there must be a radiant core, right? plus the core that was lost in the Azure and Rock Temples earlier. Guys, can you imagine what Du Shen might do?"

"What to do?" said the elder for a moment.

The old elder quickly explained, "According to our earlier information, Du Shen is only afraid that he has already collected several cores......, right?

"Impossible," one elder was shocked, "no one has ever been able to fuse all the cores! Besides, he certainly hasn't gathered the seven cores yet." ”

Parley recalled the information about Du Shen, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became: "I heard that Du Shen used to be very close to Yakov. Perhaps, he has already obtained the Thunder Core. Do you think Shadowkeep still harbors Shadow Cores?"

More elders were terrified. Someone forced a laugh: "Even if he collects all the pieces, he can't fuse ......"

Parley interrupted harshly, "We must prepare for the worst! Yakov and Shadowkeep must be contacted immediately. Also, the Sanctuary of the Tempest. I estimate that Du Shen is probably only missing the core ...... the wind now."

"No," Parley changed his words suddenly, his expression becoming more solemn, "In the worst case, he's even got the Storm Core. We must quickly contact the Tempest Sanctuary and let them find out the whereabouts of the Perfect Core that has been outflowing in the last six months!"

"No!" said one of the elders, incredulous.

Ralph was deeply remorseful: "We were all careless! I should have thought of it a long time ago! I had to inform all the temples, I had to unite everyone, I had to find Du Shen as soon as possible, I had to stop him!"

At the same time, deep in a wasteland zone on the southwestern edge of Middle-earth. Du Shen and Mario stood side by side, facing a lone mushroomberry.

The berries are more than three meters tall, large at the top and small at the bottom, covering an area of more than four square meters. The berries are pale blue in appearance and are clearly ripe.

The mushroom is located deep in a valley surrounded by steep rock walls. Several wizards spread the valley through the two exits. They are all Du Shen's henchmen.

Mario looked at Du Shen, who was preparing, and was uneasy: "No one has ever succeeded, you must not be reckless." If you feel the slightest reluctance, stop immediately. ”

"Don't worry," Du Shen took off his coat and smiled comfortingly as he walked towards Mushroom, "I know what I'm doing." You don't risk your own life! ”

Du Shen heard Mario's loud assurance, and he dove headlong into the berries. As soon as he entered the mushroom, Du Shen immediately took out several bloodstones and a large number of cores from the pendant. The bloodstone and core did not sink, just floating around Du Shen's shoulders.

Du Shen summoned the elemental flames, stimulated and absorbed the bloodstone and core one by one.

Earlier, Du Shen had tried to fuse various cores several times outside. But it's all superficial. After estimating the difficulty and risk of merging all the cores. Du Shen pondered and came up with a not very clever solution.

To put it simply, it is to use the transformation ability of the mushroom to fuse the elemental core. On the one hand, the transformation of mushrooms can not only recover from trauma, but also provide a little help directly. On the other hand, after strengthening the body through mushrooms, Du Shen can tolerate the conflict of various attributes to a greater extent.

Strengthening your body with mushrooms will definitely deplete your potential and hinder future improvement. Through Mario's research, Du Shen knows how to gradually solve this problem in the future. Although the process will be very painful and difficult, compared to the harvest of integrating all the cores, Du Shen believes that it is worth trying.

For several days, Du Shen's body suffered damage one after another, and he slowly recovered with the help of the recovery ability of the mushroom. The fusion of elemental cores is very difficult, and the clash of attributes can not only damage the body, but also the spirit. For several days, Du Shen was sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious.

Because Du Shen was in a coma, he lost his monitoring of the elemental flames. The process of integration has gone astray several times. Fortunately, it can be remedied and corrected. Du Shen interrupted the changes several times, starting from the beginning, and also made several roundabouts to remedy the mistakes.

After all the perfect cores have been depleted, the liquid in the berries becomes cloudy and the outer walls of the berries become dry. Du Shen finally broke out of the shell.

Jelly, pasty-like liquid flows out of the breach. Du Shen walked out slowly.

Mario helped Du Shen wipe the attachments on the surface of his body and asked, "How is it?"

Du Shen moved slowly, secretly feeling his body: "The fusion of the elemental core was successful by luck......

"It's done?" said Mario. He grabbed Du Shen's arm with one hand, and was about to slap Du Shen's back with the other: "What did you say? Seven cores, you fused? You mean, you successfully fused seven cores?"

Du Shen nodded, his smile was very shallow, but more of a deep fear: "It's a fluke! If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't try again, even if I knew the results now. ”

"Dangerous?" said Mario, envious and jealous, "I don't have a chance?

Du Shen nodded seriously: "I advise you not to have this kind of thought." Unless one day you don't want to live. ”

Mario will be skeptical: "Really?"

Du Shen smiled, and his whole body burned. The flames change color, sometimes blue, sometimes golden, sometimes silvery, sometimes pitch black......

Mario was startled, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and stepped back. He quickly realized that the flames on Du Shen's body were not hot at all. Mario reached out and touched the flames.

The remnants of Du Shen's body surface were burned clean by the flames in an instant. He took out his coat from the pendant and put it on: "I've already warned you anyway. If you want to try to fuse the seven cores yourself, I won't stop you. ”

Mario thought back to his previous findings and secretly retreated.

Du Shen leads Mario and several wizards out of the valley. He secretly scrutinized his status.

The seven elemental cores were indeed perfectly fused to form a new elemental flame. Of course, the price is not small. That is, Du Shen's own strength will not be able to grow for a long time. This is the sequelae of using bloodstone and mushroom berries to over-transform itself.

This problem can also be solved. That is to completely eliminate all the xenogeneous bloodlines in Du Shen's body. Needless to say, the pain and hardship are not mentioned, the key is that this is a water mill, which takes a lot of time.

Since it is over-transformed, Du Shen's attributes have certainly improved. His current stats are: Strength 35, Constitution 35, Agility 32, Intelligence 34, Spirit 40. All stats are increased by at least 10 points.

Although his own attributes were temporarily imprisoned, it did not mean that Du Shen would not be able to seize the time to enhance his strength. Du Shen also has the Shadow Dragon and the Elemental Flame, both of which require energy to thrive on themselves. Previously, Du Shen focused on improving his attributes, and the enhancement of elemental flames and shadow dragons always lagged behind. Now, it's time to devote most of your energy to accelerating both.
