On Erlong Mountain, there has been a big change from the sky, and many strange buildings have been added to the cottage.

"It's hot!"

The doors and windows are closed, and outside the room that belongs to Himeya, the temperature seems to be much higher today than the surroundings.

"The owner of the village is practicing, and no one is allowed to disturb him."

The two elite soldiers who were wearing a full set of black and gray wolf skin armor and whose strength had reached the eighth order of the mortal level were sweating profusely, but they were sticking to their posts.

In the room, Ji Ye, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, didn't cover most of his body, just because the pores on his entire body were steaming outward.

Even, it has gathered into a large ball on the top of the head.

Fortunately, because the inside of the pants exposed by the blue wolf king is very special, even in this case, it is enough to provide cover for key positions.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, Ji Ye opened his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a strong heat that could be clearly felt hit all directions, causing the windows and doors of the room to tremble, and even the fallen leaves on the ground outside were driven, and the temperature of the air in the room suddenly increased by more than ten degrees!

"Finally, I have reached the fifth order of metamorphosis!"

Ji Ye exhaled a breath in his mouth, but it made the surrounding temperature rise again.

Compared with the previous steps, the fifth order of metamorphosis has a greater significance.

Taking "'Jiuyang Divine Skill'" as an example, from comprehension (zero), introductory (1), mastery (2) to Xiaocheng (3 and 4), the first four levels are actually the accumulation of internal strength.

However, when it reaches the fifth order of metamorphosis, there will be a certain degree of quantitative change, because once the 'Nine Yang Divine Skill' enters the level of "mastery", then the internal force can be transformed into the hottest true qi.

Theoretically, it is already possible to "release gas from the inside to the outside"!

"Wow!"

Himeya stretched out a palm and slapped it on the ground covered with brown bear fur, and when the hand was raised, a charred palm print was clearly visible.

"In the middle of the battle, he slapped his palm and punched his true qi into the opponent's body. It is estimated that it will make the other party burn inside. For creatures like mirages, it is estimated that they can be killed through the shell, and ghosts are even more difficult to resist! ”

Ji Ye assessed the power of his imitation version of the 'Jiuyang Divine Skill' true qi, which was definitely not inferior to the genuine version.

Moreover, since he can release this powerful heat, he naturally has the ability to resist the heat, theoretically he can now directly pick up the "cold iron cannon barrel" with his hands like Ling Zhen to shoot, and even because his physical fitness is stronger, he can be as stable as a mountain even under the impact force.

It has now been eight days since the original battle of "Fisherman's Profit".

The Erlong Cottage, which had devoured the core of the mud monster's stronghold five days ago, had already been upgraded to the third order of metamorphosis.

Although this time, he did not get a "Soul of Civilization" like he did when he first advanced.

However, after the upgrade, whether it is the red fruit or the stone milk in the stronghold, and even the soul jade that newly occupies the stronghold of the soul clan below, the growth and condensation speed has been significantly improved.

Obviously, the gap between the advantage of the stronghold and the rest of the strongholds after the promotion will become wider and wider, and it can be said that except for the Hawkman stronghold, which also completed the second promotion two days ago, the rest of the race strongholds have completely lost the qualification to compete with the Terrans!

"The owner of the village, you are out of the customs!"

I saw Himeya walk out of the room.

The two elite eighth-order guards who had been specially selected immediately saluted with reverence and surprise on their faces.

"Where's the chief?"

Ji Ye asked the two of them.

In order to break through the "Fifth Order of Transformation", he closed the pass for two whole days this time, and he was indeed a little out of touch with the outside.

"The Martial Leader led people to guard outside the metal man's territory, and Leader Lu and Commander Ling led people to a duel with the forest monsters!"

One of the guards replied respectfully.

Standing outside the door, he could clearly feel the astonishing heat.

And the momentum of the village owner who walked out of the room at this time seemed to give him a feeling that was stronger than the memory obtained after being introduced, the "Hebei Jade Qilin" on Shuibo Liangshan, which is known as the first in the world of sticks!

"Hmm...... It's about the same time, and it's time to get rid of the forest monsters once and for all. ”

"Come with me, maybe there's a chance to give it a try!"

When Ji Ye heard this, he remembered something, and after nodding, he went back to the house and took a few items and went down the mountain!

……

In the west of Erlong Mountain, there is a very peculiar forest, the surface of the trees in it is smooth like an onion, each one is nearly 100 meters high, and the diameter reaches several people hugging.

And on top of the trees, there are tangled vines hanging everywhere!

On the ground, it is more akin to a rainforest-like river, full of silt and swamps.

"Ulla!"

"Ulla!"

At this time, on top of these vines, there are creatures with strange shapes.

It is a species similar to a gorilla, but without any fur on the surface, but a smooth and mucus green like a frog, with four thick arms on its shoulders, one by one on the vines in the air, jumping like Tarzan of the apes, roaring in the mouth!

"The owner of the village!"

When Ji Ye and the two guards arrived, Lu Zhishen was standing with Ling Zhen, and behind the two were nearly a hundred heavily armed Erlong Cottage soldiers.

There are also two "Thunderbolt" artillery guns, with the muzzles facing the territory of the forest monsters on the opposite side.

However, the two sides did not go to war directly, because it was at the junction of two strongholds.

At this time, there was a "duel" going on.

"Ulla!"

A green-skinned monster roared from its mouth, and all four arms were armed with stout club-like weapons, and rushed in the direction of the human.

"Come on!"

On the other side of it was a human.

A seventh-order Erlong Cottage elite with a shield and a short knife in his hand fought with this forest monster with four hands.

Originally, according to the plan of the Erlong Cottage, after the stronghold was upgraded to the third order, it was ready to take action against the forest monsters and metal men.

However, after the advance team sent out to collect information entered the territory of the forest monsters, they were caught off guard and surrounded by a particularly tall "king of forest monsters" with a bunch of forest monsters, jumping from the vines.

Subsequently, these forest monsters did not kill the advance personnel, but released all the people back.

At the same time, he stood at the edge of the forest unit and shouted at the humans in a thunderous voice.

In the face of the action of the forest monster, the human beings undoubtedly did not understand the other party's intentions at first, until they invited Meng Lao, who had a "universal translator", to come over, and they understood the meaning of the forest monster.

The King of Forest Monsters even asks humans to engage in a "duel" with them, and the two sides fight a total of eleven battles, with the victor able to fight in a row and the loser to admit defeat.

If the humans win in the end, they will voluntarily give up their stronghold, otherwise the humans will only lose more if they force their attack!

It is undoubtedly a rare thing for humans to discuss the way of battle with humans.

After all, the previous Eagle Man, the Soul Clan, and even the Mud Monster and the Mirage Clan all belonged to the attack as soon as they met, and this kind of forest monster that seemed to be very reckless and irritable at a glance actually chose to "communicate" with the Terran first, and even "trade".

Of course, the decision-making level of Erlong Mountain naturally would not fail to see the intentions of the forest monster.

This kind of intelligent creature that seems to be very rude and irritable on the outside understands better than ordinary races, and knows that if they fight to the death against the Terrans who have been promoted to the third order, they will undoubtedly have no chance of winning.

But if they can find a way to hold back the human language and not fight to the death, they may have a chance to turn around.

After some deliberation, the humans chose to accept the duel offer for the time being.

One of the reasons for this was that when the advance team entered, they found that the terrain of the forest monster's stronghold was even more special than that of the mud monsters.

At a height of 100 meters, the surface of the tree is extremely smooth, and it is impossible for humans to climb it.

Once the opponent hides on it, there is almost no way to attack except for artillery, and it is not easy to destroy the opponent.

The second reason is that human beings also have the idea of taking the opportunity to "train troops."

After all, although most of the elites of Erlong Cottage have good strength, they even have the memory of several battles after going to Liangshan.

But in the past, they were all facing humans or monsters, but this time facing an intelligent alien race will undoubtedly allow them to gain more experience in battle!

In addition, it will also be able to master the combat methods of these forest monsters and prepare for a full-scale general attack.

Yes, the humans are going to destroy the forest monster stronghold from beginning to end.

Whether the duel ends up being a victory or a defeat!

However, what the human decision-makers did not expect was that the result of the duel turned out to be neither victory nor defeat, but a draw for four consecutive days.

It's just because once the human race wins a certain number of games, then the "King of Forest Monsters" will personally end the game.

After that, the number of human victories is directly locked.

Even if Lu Zhishen personally took action, he was also defeated.

Just because, in Li Qing's combat power detection, the level of the King of Forest Monsters has suddenly reached the level of "Fifth Order of Metamorphosis" and entered the level of "qualitative change".

There's something unbelievable about that.

After all, even the mirage clan, which was incomparably rich in resources, was only a fourth-order mortal leader.

However, if it is said that there is not even a single mortal level in the combination of the rest of the forest monsters, the reason is probably understood.

Obviously, the mortal-level resources of the entire forest monster clan were occupied by this king of forest monsters, so that not only did its strength break through to the fifth order of qualitative change, but its equipment was extremely luxurious.

The protective items worn on his body, and the four sticks held on his four arms, are all mortal-level items.

It's not even an ordinary level mortal-level item!

In addition, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, and Lu Zhishen, who only has a "cold iron Zen staff" in his hand, is really difficult to win.

"Ulla, Ula ......"

And at this time, on the vines opposite, the loud shouts of the forest monsters suddenly sounded like thunder.

Just because on the battlefield, the shield-holding soldier was smashed out with blood spraying from his mouth and nose, and although the forest monster on the opposite side was pierced by a knife in the stomach, he completely ignored the general and walked towards the soldier, and the stick in his hand slammed down!
