"Lao Wang, why are you not in a good mood these days?"

In the blacksmith shop of Lao Wang at the end of the village in Tailuo Village, a rugged man with a tiger skin skirt around his waist asked curiously while weighing the steel gun that had just arrived.

"Don't mention it. Wang Haizhu, who was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, first wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and then waved his hand, and the blazing fire in the casting furnace reflected the depressed expression on the man's face: "The ancestral treasure knife of my family was stolen. ”

"Your family's ancestral treasure knife, is it the knife mixed with Jinling sand and made by your grandfather?" said the man holding the steel spear.

"That's it. Wang Haizhu said sullenly.

"That knife is terrible, it is said that as long as ordinary weapons are mixed with a little Jinling sand, they will not only become sharper, but also more durable, but they are not good at all, the weapon will become very heavy, and it will not work without a good strength. The steel gun man sighed, thinking about the treasure knife made of Jinling sand, and then looking at the steel gun in his hand, the joy of getting the new weapon was gone, and everything felt boring.

"Who's to say it's not. When Wang Haizhu heard this, his heart became more and more depressed: "That knife was left to my father by my father, my father left it to me, and I was going to leave it to Qiangzi, and I don't know which thief stole my old Wang family's family heirloom knife." I cursed him for not having a son in the future. ”

Looking at Wang Haizhu's indignant look, the steel-gun man shook his head.

"I remember when the axe asked you for this knife, right?"

Holding the steel gun on the ground, the middle-aged man leaned his back against the weapon table, staring at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

When Wang Haizhu heard this, he suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he said with a strong sense of remorse: "I knew earlier, I knew that I would have let the axe take this knife away back then, otherwise...... Otherwise...... Alas......"

"Well, when encountering the silver-ridged wolves, it can only be said that the fate is not good, and that kind of situation is not something that can be saved by a knife. The middle-aged man said with relief.

Yang Yue's return came with shocking news.

Who would have thought that with the Shang Axe who was faintly the second master of Tailuo Village, the quarrying team would be almost wiped out.

If Yang Yue hadn't escaped back, I'm afraid they wouldn't even know how the quarry team died.

"There's one more thing, don't you know?" the middle-aged man suddenly asked.

"What?"

"Shang Wu is missing. ”

"How is it possible?" Wang Haizhu shook his head in disbelief and said: "Shang Wu, his kid is a grandmaster, in Tianxing Mountain, even if he encounters some of those man-eating demon beasts, at most he can't beat them, and he can still escape big." ”

"But he's gone. The steel-gun man sighed: "Think about it, after all these days, it stands to reason that he can't wait for the quarrying team, and he should have returned to the village a long time ago." Moreover, it is said that Shang Wu left a letter to the old village chief, saying that he was going to go outside, didn't you see? In the past few days, Shang Yan and his daughter-in-law's eyes have almost gone blind from crying. ”

"What's going on. Wang Haizhu was stunned.

"It's been an eventful time. ”

......

"Ahh

At this moment, five miles away from Tailuo Village, Dadong Mountain.

In the midst of a dense green forest stands an old wooden house.

In the room, Shang Luo, who had just eaten a half-mushy rabbit, suddenly sneezed.

"Who's thinking about me?"

Rubbing his nose, Shang Luo muttered.

Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, Dog, Old Man Shang Xishan, or the mysterious Shang Wu?

According to the original plan, he should appear in Tailuo Village at this time, pass through the forest in front of all the villagers, and let the power from the people punish Yang Yue.

But after unexpectedly harvesting the Star Yuan Baolian, he hesitated.

Although the cause and effect are not very clear, the "Star Yuan Baolian" in the mouth of this yellow-robed Hanhan is likely to be the fuse of all the abnormalities in Tianxing Mountain.

After taking such a thing, it is obviously inappropriate to return to Tailuo Village with great fanfare.

Once he really misses the horse, Tailuo Village is likely to be affected by him.

The plan to fake death and get out instantly popped into my mind.

It just so happened that the most difficult fake death, presumably Yang Yue had already completed it for him.

In Yang Yue's mouth, he thought that everyone, including him, died tragically in the mouth of the silver-spine wolf, so that he became a "dead man" in Tailuo Village, a person with no identity.

How could a "dead man" get the heavy treasure in Tianxing Mountain?

You can't pick up leaks.

In this way, the risk of his exposure can be greatly reduced, and it will also reduce Yang Yue's vigilance, because he would not expect that a dead man would return for revenge.

And next, all he had to do was sneak into Tailuo Village, kill Yang Yue, and then go to Merchant Town to have a look.

"After practicing for so many days, I finally upgraded the [Tiger Demon Bone Skill] and [Sword Technique]. ”

After coming down from Tianxing Mountain, Shang Luo hid in this abandoned wooden house in Dadong Mountain, which was originally built by Uncle Zhang and was reserved for him to rest, and sometimes he would live here when he returned late in the woods.

The wooden house has been abandoned all these years, and by chance Shang Luo knew about this place, and now he uses it as his temporary base.

Practicing knives every day, practicing "Tiger Demon Bone Practice", after many days, it is finally the harvest season.

Like an old orchard farmer looking at his heavy fruit trees, Shang Luo looked at the panel in the depths of his heart with great interest.

The upgrade of these two abilities is because he is like a long drought and a rainy day, which is exactly where he dares to kill Yang Yue alone without borrowing the strength of the people.

【Tiger Demon Bone Practice】has been increased to LV1】

[Tiger Demon Bone Skill LV1 (0%)]: Tiger Shape Bone Training, Bone Strength +3%

[Obtain one of the following traits as a reward, choose one of three]

[Trait 1: Tiger Bone: Bone Strength +2%]

[Trait 3: Tiger Might: Pressure +5%]

......

【【Knife Technique】has been increased to LV1】

[Obtain one of the following traits as a reward, choose one of three]

[Trait 1: Iron Edge (Rare): Blade Weapon Sharpness +20%, Durability +50%]

[Trait 2: Critical Attack (Rare): When attacking a critical point with a knife, Critical Strike Chance +100%, Critical Strike Effect +30%]

[Trait 3: Weak (Rare): Ailment Resistance +40%, Ailment Duration Reduced by 50%]

......

The attributes and selectable characteristics of [Tiger Demon Bone Skill LV1] and [Sword Skill LV1] are vividly visible.

The huge gap made Shang Luo suddenly realize a long-standing doubt in his mind.

[Tiger Demon Bone Practice], [Sword], [Shocking Thorn], [Calligraphy], [Reading], [Knife Technique] These are the six abilities currently available in the panel.

If subdivided, [Tiger Demon Bone Practice] is roughly regarded as a skill, [Tyrant Knife] and [Shocking Thorn] are skills, and [Calligraphy], [Reading], and [Knife Technique] should be regarded as some kind of talent.

Exercises and skills are easy to learn, because this is something that can be learned.

And talent is probably not so easy to get on the board, because you have a certain talent or not.

It's just that here in Shang Luo, even if he has a talent in swordsmanship, he will not express it on the panel at the beginning, but needs some kind of special opportunity to be stimulated, such as practicing knives.

As for [Reading] and [Calligraphy], they came with the predecessor.

This also explains why he had always wanted to trigger abilities such as [Drawing Dao] and [Tea Art] on the panel, but in the end he couldn't get them.

Compared with exercises and skills, it is undoubtedly much more difficult to upgrade talents, such as the [Read] that he has not been able to upgrade until now. Another example is the [Tiger Demon Bone Practice] that was lagging behind the [Reading] progress before, but he went ashore early.

Another example is [Badao], of course, this [Badao] is not the Pinduoduo version passed to him by Shang Wu, but the Pinxixi version taught to him by Shang Axe.

Later, the fusion of the two made the [Tyrant Knife] that had been upgraded a long time ago downgraded to LV0, and now the progress of [Tyrant Blade] can exceed 1%, which also shows that even if it is a skill, if it is strong enough, the difficulty of the upgrade may exceed the talent.

Of course, it is difficult to return, but once upgraded, the benefits are much greater.

For example, [Tiger Demon Bone Practice] only gives one attribute of bone strength +3%, and the three characteristics that can be selected in the latter are also average.

The [Knife Technique] is completely different, the attributes are high, and the three traits that can be selected are all rare rewards.
