Lin Chen immediately opened the pet panel to check Xiao Hei's latest information, and sure enough, a new skill appeared on the pet skill bar.

[Shadow Raven] Lv.17

Nickname: Little Black

Status: Infant (unplayable)

Bloodline Rating: A

Mood: Joyful

Skills: Void, Soul Eater

Soon, Lin Chen discovered the strength of Xiao Hei's new skill.

Soul Eater is a natural ability and has two passive effects.

First, it can make Lin Chen's attack with the power of soul devouring. This Soul Eater can be described as the nemesis of soul monsters, which can ignore the inherent talent characteristics of all soul monsters, such as the physical damage reduction status of the spirit, and increase the damage caused to soul monsters by an additional 20%.

The second is that when Lin Chen or Xiao Hei kills a soul life, Xiao Hei will devour the soul power in it, and grow and transform faster. However, the growth and transformation here refers to letting Xiao Hei enter the next stage of growth faster, or whether he can awaken stronger power, Lin Chen is not very clear for the time being.

In short, with the skill of soul devouring, Lin Chen can consider specifically finding those soul-type monsters for leveling, and what physical damage reduction state is no longer a trouble, but can also cause higher damage.

"Is this your pet?"

The water-colored smoke stared at the Shadow Crow standing on Lin Chen's shoulder, and couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get it?" ”

Aqua Yanhua was a little puzzled, according to the information she had learned, normal pets should not be obtained until the player's level 30 or later, through capture, cultivation, or completion of some special tasks.

Before Lin Chen could explain, Xiao Hei was the first to speak: "Wow Ka Ka, I am the great Xiao Hei, I pity that stupid mortal, and I gave him the honor of taking care of me." ”

"Shut up!"

The stupid bird began to talk nonsense again, which made Lin Chen feel very embarrassed, and scolded it in annoyance, Xiao Hei seemed to sense Lin Chen's unhappiness, and immediately fell silent.

"Poof!"

The water-colored smoke let out a chuckle, as if it was Lin Chen's smile when he saw her for the first time, and he couldn't help but take a second look, but she quickly returned to normal.

Lin Chen explained that his Shadow Crow was not obtained by conventional means. But because it's not level 30 yet, it can only be released and pretended, and more often than not, it's angry with itself, and Xiao Hei can't be regarded as a real combat force.

Of course, although Xiao Hei can't officially participate in the war yet, its skills can already be of good help to Lin Chen.

Needless to say, Soul Eater is similar to stealth, but it will not be observed by reconnaissance, and it is not easy to be damaged by inexplicable skills, so it is completely possible to use Xiao Hei as a scout.

In the past, his level was lower than Xiao Hei, and he couldn't command Xiao Hei well, but now his level is higher than Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei doesn't dare to resist his command. When he suspects that there may be an enemy ambush ahead, or guesses whether there is a treasure in the cave, as long as he releases Xiao Hei out, and then synchronizes the images that Xiao Hei sees, he can make a clear judgment without risking his life.

These things are his hole cards, and he doesn't intend to tell anyone.

Although in the end, Xiao Hei killed the Divine Soul through special means, but Xiao Hei belonged to Lin Chen's pet, so it was equivalent to Lin Chen's completion of the killing of the Divine Soul.

As long as the monster is killed by the player, it may not explode the item reward, but the experience point reward will definitely be.

The Divine Soul is not an ordinary monster, and the real rank cannot be determined, but it is not too low to think of, at least above the silver-level boss.

It's a pity that it's only level 1, so the experience reward that Lin Chen has obtained is far less than the king of wind elves they killed before, and he only has more than 6,000 experience points, which is not enough for him to upgrade to level 18.

However, when he reaches level 18, he is only less than one-fifth of his current level of experience.

As for the others, nothing from the divine soul burst out, which made Lin Chen feel regretful.

Lin Chen carefully checked the surroundings again, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he left here with the water-colored smoke and returned to the palace where they defeated the boss before.

The Chamber of Secrets had been explored, and it was considered a gain, but they had not been able to find the ancient alchemy manual for their original purpose in this ruin.

They haven't finished Alice's quest to explore the ruins.

Where the hell will it be?

Lin Chen fell into thought, first excluded the first and second layers of the ruins, and the first two layers of ghosts and ghosts were very carefully searched, and they were almost three feet into the ground.

Therefore, the Ancient Alchemy Manual will only be hidden on the third layer of the ruins, and depending on the difficulty of the mission, it should be found without them entering the final palace before defeating or even meeting the King of the Wind Elves.

Then there is only one place left.

At that time, they stepped into the third level of the ruins, followed the passage, and finally found the gate of the final palace. So their attention was attracted by this gate, and they subconsciously ignored the darkness in the corners on both sides.

Lin Chen left the palace, outside the gate, carefully observed to both sides, and finally found a hidden mechanism.

He activated the mechanism, and in front of them, a three-person wide passage appeared.

Lin Chen and Aqua Yanhua walked into the passage, and soon came to the end, finding that it was an ancient alchemy laboratory.

"Be careful!"

Lin Chen sent a reminder to the aqua smoke that in the alchemy laboratory, an elite necromancer was hiding, and he took the lead in attacking them.

No, not against them, but against Lin Chen.

Lin Chen has a sentence MMB in his mouth, necromantic monsters are also monsters belonging to the dark camp, because of the title of the cursed man of the grudge, this elite necromancer locked his hatred on Lin Chen in the first time.

Lin Chen didn't dodge, tried to bear the damage of this monster, and found that after reducing his dark resistance by 20%, he was really a little unbearable.

When he returned, he had to find a way to deal with the curse of this disgusting man.

Fortunately, the Curse of Grudge did not reduce his damage ability, and he rushed forward in an instant, giving the elite necromancer a burst of skills, and the elite monster immediately lost most of its health.

The rest of the damage is dealt by the aqua smoke.

The monster didn't even look at her, but she instinctively made some moves.

Lin Chen glanced at it, this elite monster didn't break out of anything good, he just stuffed all the materials that burst out into his backpack indiscriminately, no longer paying attention, and looking for the ancient alchemy manual with the water color smoke.

"Found it."

Aqua Yanhua was the first to find the ancient alchemy manual, and Lin Chen also found a good thing, which was the recipe for an alchemy potion.
