Chapter 174: Strength***

The aura and nutrients contained in this tentacle were so great that even though Qin Ming had the physique of a spirit devouring demon fish, it still took three days to devour it completely, which was also the first time it took him so long to digest and absorb since this trip.

Name: Qin Ming

Spirit: Spirit Eater

Combat power score: fourth-order upper grade

Growth potential: fifth-order high-grade

However, in the end, the result was still a little worse than expected, and he did not break through to the fifth order in one fell swoop.

Come to think of it, no matter how powerful this giant octopus is, no matter how high the level is, what he eats is only a few tentacles of other people.

It's really difficult to get promoted to a fifth-tier spirit in one fell swoop.

Advancing from the third order to the fourth order requires a lot of nutrients and aura, and each time you upgrade from the fourth order, you need even more nutrients and aura.

Under the increase of time and time, he was able to jump to the upper grade of the fourth order in this wave, and the effect of this octopus tentacle was already quite powerful.

As for the fifth order, where is it so easy to promote.

In addition, I don't know if it was because it swallowed too much octopus flesh and blood, but after it grew to the fourth order, the dark purple stripes on its body surface turned into purple red.

He could feel an external strong energy in his body, which was constantly fusing into his own flesh and blood.

This was not seen on the other Soul Devouring Demon Fish, at least the purple stripes on the two adult fish mothers had not transformed into purple red.

Especially after growing to the fourth order upper grade, that strong energy seemed to have completely fused with him, and even the head had a few more purple and red veins.

The light of the open and closed eyes also has a faint flush and purple aura, which is quite extraordinary.

He also had many speculations about why this change would occur.

He thought that the last possibility was that the power of the spirit bloodline of this giant octopus was too large, and while he devoured enough octopus flesh, his body was also integrated with part of the bloodline power of this powerful spirit.

As a result, after his promotion breakthrough, he underwent some kind of mutation and became a special Spirit Devouring Demon Fish.

After the mutation, he hadn't noticed the other changes yet, but in terms of physical strength, he estimated that it was much stronger than ordinary Spirit Devouring Demon Fish.

For now, this mutation is a good thing for him, at least it has improved his combat ability.

At the same time, on the login screen, his second growth task has also been shown to be completed.

As long as he reaches the fourth-order intermediate level, this task can be accomplished, and he can be regarded as overcompleting the task.

"I don't know if I can try to kill the fifth-order spirit with my current combat strength. Qin Ming said secretly.

His eyes fell on the ruins of the palace at the top of the hill.

In the past three days, he was afraid that the sea lion dragon beast would return here, so he only cared about eating and digesting it, and he didn't carefully look at the ruins of the palace.

Speaking of which, he was still quite curious, how could there be the remnants of palace buildings here.

Swimming closer, you can clearly see a few carved beams on the broken wall, and many of the remaining decorations have been eroded by the sea and are dull and damaged, but you can still see that these were once priceless good things.

Swimming inside, there was nothing left of the palace except for some broken masonry.

After turning around, he was suddenly attracted by a beam above his head, where half a piece of cyan jade hung there.

The half piece of jade is engraved with two patterns that resemble patterns and complex characters.

Qin Ming felt that the characters were more likely, but he couldn't understand them.

I studied this half of the jade for a long time and didn't understand it, I just felt that this cyan jade should be a first-class treasure, but now the inside has lost its spirit, full of impurities, and without the charm it once had, it has no value.

After lingering in the ruins of this palace for a while, and really finding nothing else, he chose to leave.

But he always felt that the ruins of the palace should have a story.

In fact, as he came to this spirit world again and again, he always felt that this world was quite mysterious and full of all kinds of unknowns.

Every time he entered, he always came to a different environment, and what was shown to him now was only the tip of the iceberg.

The sea is closed on all sides, with only a few narrow exits connecting to the rest of the sea, one of which is the fault hole where he came.

This is also the reason why there are few spirits and other creatures in this sea area, as if it is a separate sea space, isolated from the outside world.

Qin Ming searched for a long time in this sea area but couldn't find any other way out, so he had no choice but to go back from the fault hole the same way.

I don't know if the fifth-order giant shark is still outside.

After thinking that after so many days, no matter how big the feud is, it should be calmed down.

A few hours later, Qin Ming poked out of the fault probe, and there was silence all around, with the occasional few first-order elves rolling in the sand.

Not seeing the giant shark made him somewhat relieved.

Although his own strength has greatly improved, he is a fifth-order spirit after all, and he is condensed by the inner dan, and he has strong combat power.

He wasn't sure if he would be able to fight it now, but it was better to try his hand at some fourth-order spirits to be on the safe side.

A few days later.

Boom!

In the middle of a sea area, several pieces of scorched rock split apart, and a fourth-order upper-grade spirit was lying dying in the broken rock.

A large number of spirits around have hidden, not daring to look at this side.

Above this spirit was a black fish more than two meters long, with purple-red light bursting from its eyes, which looked extremely strange in the dark environment.

This black fish is Qin Ming after he came out.

After gaining the mutation amplification, he was indeed much stronger than the ordinary fourth-order upper-grade spirits.

The spirit in front of him was unable to hold up after only a few seconds of resistance under his attack.

Qin Ming didn't even need to use a treasure like the Electric Storage Bead anymore, and the battle was very easy.

"It seems that it is necessary to find a fifth-class spirit to challenge. "I said secretly in my heart.

These days, he can almost be described as crisscrossing the sea, and the spirits below the fifth order can't find an opponent who can fight at all.

After understanding his own strength, he finally set his target on the fifth-order spirit and prepared to try to complete the slashing task on the login.

Another three days passed.

Qin Ming finally found the first mission target.

On a rock wall deep under the sea, a giant starfish was clinging to it, its whole body was bright red, and it looked like a huge ruby in the shape of a five-pointed star from a distance.

The starfish is very hidden, and if you don't perceive it carefully, you really can't find that this is a fifth-order spirit.

Qin Ming also found out after getting closer, using the detection ability of the login.

Name: None

Spirit: Jewel starfish

Combat power rating: fifth-order lower grade

Growth potential: fifth-order mid-grade
