The silver liquid mass struggled to break through the flames, but it was powerless, falling from the air like a falling rock, hitting the ground and then shattering, revealing Gao Mingliang who was dying inside.

Lin Ze's wings flapped behind him, slowly descended from the air, and landed on Gao Mingliang's side, and immediately stepped forward and squatted down, searching for the latter for a while, and soon found three strange stones the size of quail eggs, as light yellow and transparent as amber.

It was the purpose of his trip, the Spirit Stone!

The things he wanted had already arrived, Lin Ze naturally didn't delay any longer, ignored Gao Mingliang's pleading and frightened gaze, and cut off the other party's life with a knife.

Seeing that Gao Mingliang was finally killed, Lin Ze let out a long breath, dispersing the cracked Red Lotus Armor and the Rising Sun, as for the burst state, it had already automatically detached when he shot down the liquid mass from the air.

If it's a second late, maybe Gao Mingliang will really escape.

The 'Terran' Swordsmith was really tricky, and it was the first time that Lin Ze's Red Lotus Armor had been beaten into such a miserable state, and it was almost scattered, and several times of enhanced Fire Resistance and Ten Thousand Blades also made his soul energy and aura on the verge of exhaustion.

Fortunately, he finally succeeded in killing Gao Mingliang and obtained the spirit stone.

Coming back to his senses, Lin Ze took off his coat from the corpse and wrapped Gao Mingliang's head in it.

This is the evidence that he killed Gao Mingliang, and he also has to exchange it with Peng Xianxi for the reward of the spirit stone.

Then, Lin Ze turned to leave, found a hidden and safe corner, took out the spirit stone and began to absorb it.

As the three spirit stones were absorbed by the soul knife one after another, the awakening level was also increasing.

Each time one is absorbed, the increase in the awakening degree brought by it is also gradually decreasing, and by the time all the three spirit stones are absorbed, the awakening degree of the red lotus has arrived.

"It's still more than 24 years old. Lin Ze frowned slightly, and secretly groaned, "According to this decreasing range, I can only absorb two more spirit stones at most, and then it is estimated that there will be no effect, and the two spirit stones will increase the awakening degree by about 3 at most, which is still far from full awakening." ”

What's more, at the moment, there is only one in Peng Xianxi's hand left in the spirit relief stone, if you want more, you have to go deep into the wilderness to find it.

For the sake of 1 Awakening, spending a lot of time searching the wilderness is not a cost-effective option.

"Forget it, let's go back to the settlement first. ”

Carrying the package, Lin Ze turned around and left the ruins of S2 City and returned to the Blackstone Settlement.

On the way, he stopped in the ruins of a C-class city for half a day, and completed the 'Bug Hunter IV', earning 50 points.

When he arrived at the Blackstone Settlement, it was already evening, and Lin Ze rushed to the headquarters of the Knife Forger Guild non-stop and saw Peng Xianxi.

After verifying Gao Mingliang's head, the only remaining 'human pillar' swordsmith in this settlement area sighed with a complicated expression, and then asked people to bring the spirit stone and hand it to Lin Ze.

Lin Ze absorbed the comprehension spirit stone on the spot, and increased the awakening degree by 2, and then asked Peng Xianxi: "President, in addition to understanding the spirit stone, is there any other way to quickly increase the awakening degree of the soul knife?"

Peng Xianxi shook his head: "No, the spirit stone is the only shortcut to quickly increase the awakening level, and other than that, you can only rely on water grinding." ”

"That's it......" Lin Ze was quite disappointed.

The remaining 22 or more soul knife awakening degrees, relying solely on cultivation, are basically impossible to achieve in a year and a half, and it seems that it is impossible to fully awaken in a short period of time.

The spirit stones have all been obtained, and the achievement series of insect and beast hunters has also come to an end, although it can continue to be done, but the benefits and efforts are no longer proportional, Lin Ze does not plan to continue, in this way, there is basically nothing worth exploring and pursuing in the world of knife language.

If you want to continue to improve your strength, you can either go to the royal court world or draw new games.

Walking out of the gate of the Knife Forger Guild headquarters, Lin Ze looked up at the sky, stood in place and thought for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Su Rin's house.

Luckily, Su Rin happened to be on vacation and stayed at home.

When he opened the door and saw Lin Ze, Su Rin couldn't help but have a trace of surprise and surprise on his face.

"I heard Deacon Pan say that you went to hunt down Gao Mingliang early this morning, why did you come back so quickly?"

"Gao Mingliang is dead. ”

Su Rin was stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and his eyes looking at Lin Ze were already full of shock.

Being able to kill Gao Mingliang shows that Lin Ze's strength is already almost the same as that of the 'Human Pillar' Sword Forger.

That's amazing!

In contrast, although his strength is not slow, it is dwarfed by Lin Ze. The gap between me and him is really getting bigger and bigger.

After being stunned for a moment, the girl reacted and said with a smile: "Come in first, I just cooked rice, if you don't mind, you can just have dinner here." ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. ”

Lin Ze nodded with a smile and walked in.

"Ah, it's Brother Lin Ze!"

Xiaojie and Xiaowen were playing in the living room, and when they saw Lin Ze, they immediately jumped up happily, hugged him, and pestered him to play together.

"Xiaojie, Xiaowen, it's time to eat, don't pester my brother. Su Rin said to the two of them while setting up the dishes and chopsticks on the dining table.

"Yes" The two children both pulled Lin Ze and came to the table to sit down.

"Xiaojie and Xiaowen have already started school, right?" Lin Ze asked casually.

"I've been in school for a few months now, and my academic performance is pretty good. Su Rin nodded, looked at his younger siblings who were eating happily, paused, and added, "After receiving a few more years of cultural education, I plan to send them to the Blackstone Training Camp and let them develop in the direction of a knife forger." ”

Lin Ze bowed his head lightly when he heard this, this was a wise choice.

After all, the world of knife language is a wasteland world, surrounded by insects and beasts, and only those who have mastered great power can truly control their own destiny, and becoming a knife forger is the only way to gain power.

Su Rin's approach was correct, if it was just to prevent his younger siblings from becoming swordsmiths just to prevent them from putting their lives in danger, it would be truly irresponsible.

Seeing Lin Ze's expression of approval, Su Rin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Let her younger brothers and sisters embark on the dangerous road of swordsmiths, although intellectually understand that this is really for their sake, but deep down there is still some guilt and uneasiness, until this time is affirmed by Lin Ze, the uneasiness and guilt in her heart are greatly alleviated.

"Let's eat. Su Rin looked at Lin Ze with a bright smile on his face.

After dinner, Lin Ze left.

Looking at the back of Lin Ze leaving, Su Rin unconsciously showed some doubts on her face, although there was laughter and laughter at the dinner table, everyone talked and laughed, but for some reason Lin Ze always gave her a strange feeling.

It was as if he was about to leave for a long time.

"Sister!"

The call of her younger siblings in the house interrupted her musings, and Su Rin came back to her senses, shook her head with a dumb smile, and turned back to the house.
