"Congratulations!" Lin Ze smiled.

"Thank you. Su Rin pursed his lips and smiled, and then asked, "What about you?"

"Found it. Lin Ze shrugged, "Luckily, I found the relics of a dead knife forger in the ruins of the city, and there happened to be a recipe inside. ”

Su Rin originally planned to persuade Lin Ze to accept the core membership contract of the Knife Forger Guild and not waste his time looking for the formula, but when he heard such a sentence, his beautiful eyes suddenly widened in shock.

Is it really found? And the relics of the swordsmith who died in the ruins?

There are a lot of such plots in the novel, but almost no one believes that it actually happens in reality!

As a result, there is a living example in front of me......

Seeing Su Rin's surprised expression in his eyes, Lin Ze smiled: "I'm just lucky, I just happened to find the remains of a knife casting master in a hidden basement, and there happened to be a knife casting recipe next to it." ”

"Is it a new knife recipe?"

"That's right. Lin Ze said, "Although I don't know the specific level of the formula, it is at least an intermediate formula." ”

With the increase in the progress of the soul knife, Lin Ze's possession of the formula would be discovered sooner or later, so he had already thought of a reason, and he happened to say it at this time, just in case, and did not say the true level of the red lotus for the time being.

After all, the allure of the superior formula is too great, and it will inevitably attract the covetousness of others, and before he has enough strength, Lin Ze is ready to temporarily conceal the level of the red lotus.

Su Rin was shocked when she heard this, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, but she was still sincerely happy that Lin Ze could get a good formula.

"By the way, I heard that Ding Beiye also passed the graduation assessment. Su Rin suddenly said, "He went out hunting three days ago, and it is said that Ding Jin arranged two third-level swordsmiths as his guards. ”

"That's a big battle. Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, an ordinary novice swordsmith, it would be good to have a second-level swordsmith accompany him when he went out hunting for the first time, even if it was a genius seed valued by a guild like Su Rin, there was only a third-level swordsmith to accompany him.

The knife casting master is not a cabbage that can be seen everywhere on the street, not to mention the number of people, and he is very busy, Ding Beiye can actually have two third-level knife casting masters to accompany the experience, which shows that Ding Jin attaches great importance to him.

"Could it be that Ding Beiye is not Ding Jin's nephew, but an illegitimate child?" he couldn't help but speculate maliciously.

Su Rin continued: "Ding Jin has no children under his knees, only Ding Beiye has a nephew, so he is completely treated as a son, and he has always been very spoiled, which has caused Ding Beiye's arrogance now. ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Lin Ze, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, "The location where Ding Beiye hunted insects and beasts is also in the ruins of C7 City, you have to be careful, he probably still holds a grudge against what happened last time, maybe he will take revenge on you!"

But he had already taken his revenge.

Lin Ze said secretly in his heart, but his face was acceptable, and he nodded: "I'll be careful!"

After a while, the two parted at the gate of the guild, Su Rin went home to rest, and Lin Ze rushed straight to the north gate after purchasing food and water.

After returning to the ruins of C7 City, he immediately followed the signs on the map and rushed towards his destination, and on the way, he easily dealt with a few steel soldiers who wanted to use him as food.

About half an hour later, Lin Ze arrived at a dilapidated school.

With the passage of time, the signboard next to the school gate has long been worn out to the point where the original font is no longer visible, and the buildings in the school have all been reduced to ruins, covered with gravel, and only a few potholed walls are still standing tenaciously.

Whether it is the remaining walls or the gravel floor, there are black marks of different shapes as if graffiti, which are scorch marks left by high temperature burning.

As soon as he stepped into the school, Lin Ze clearly felt that the temperature inside was a little higher than outside.

"It seems that there are a lot of red beetles here!"

Lin Ze pulled out the white knife on his waist, and as soon as his mind moved, the snowy blade was immediately covered with a tight layer of airflow.

Under the catalysis of the battle, his control of qi has improved a lot, and now he can condense the sword gang in half a second, and the speed is a little faster than before, but there is still some distance from the expected 'instantaneous'.

Carrying the white knife, Lin Ze cautiously stepped forward.

After turning into ruins, the school has long been unable to see the original architectural pattern, and can only vaguely recognize the spacious area in front of it, which should have been the school road in front of it, and black and unknown objects can be seen everywhere on both sides.

Lin Ze guessed that these should be plants that had been burned to death by the high temperature, just because not far ahead, there were four or five huge insect beasts with fiery red carapaces.

Red beetle!

The red beetle is the size of a car, including the head, limbs, and two sharp pincers, and its entire body is a dazzling fiery red, looking like a moving flame from a distance.

The air surrounding the surface of its body is even slightly distorted, revealing the high temperature of its body.

The red beetles quickly discovered Lin Ze's existence, and immediately hissed and rushed towards him, four crimson feet moving rapidly, leaving scorching black marks on the ground.

Seven or eight meters away, Lin Ze felt a scorching breath rushing towards him.

He took a slight breath, dodged to avoid the pincers waved by a red beetle, and the hot breath swept wildly in front of him, burning the hair in front of his forehead slightly curled, and he was flirting with his backhand, and with the sharp knife light whistling, the fiery red pliers rose to the sky.

The injured red beetle hissed, and the next second it was hit in the head by the oncoming knife light, and he died.

Lin Ze didn't stop, and walked forward quickly with the fierce momentum of killing the red beetle in an instant, and the white knife in his hand instantly turned into countless silver and bright sword light and flew out, like a storm swept towards the rushing red beetle.

The heads of the two red beetles that rushed to the front suddenly burst open, and they immediately fell to the ground and died, and the cold knife light was still there, like a frog bouncing from the remaining two red beetles, and when they landed, they heard a click, the hard carapace was split into two, the two red beetles were broken into four, and a large amount of hot blood flowed out.

In an instant, the battle was over.

The red beetle is only a second-level insect beast, and for Lin Ze, it is just a matter of killing in seconds, unless it is an elite individual among them, it can pose a little threat to him.

After absorbing the soul energy of the five-headed red beetle, the white knife has an additional 0.05% of the high-temperature attribute soul energy.

White knife 35.06% (steel 35.01%, high temperature 0.05%)

At the same time, Lin Ze was keenly aware that there was an indescribable connection between himself and the white knife, as if there was a strange energy hidden in the white knife, as long as his mind moved, he could manipulate this energy to burst out.

It's just that this connection is like nothing, as if it will be broken at any time, and when Lin Ze followed the connection in the dark and concentrated on stimulating the energy hidden in the white knife, he was stunned to find that the white knife had not changed much, but the temperature of the blade seemed to have risen a little.

"This should be the soul energy characteristic, but it's still very weak, it should be because the high-temperature attribute soul energy absorbed is too small. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Ze understood the reason.

"With the increase of high temperature attribute and fire attribute soul energy, the characteristics of the soul knife will become more and more obvious and powerful. ”
