Chapter 7: Lotta's Choice

Lotta struggled back into his nest, not knowing how he had dragged the ball up the tree. In three days, he could be regarded as eating a tiger and a snake. By the way, the tiger skin and snake skin are hung on the branches to dry, and there will be tiger skin blankets and snake skin raincoats in the future.

After three days of playing the ball, I gained 8000+ experience and rose to level 5 in one go.

When he reaches level 5, the system will show a different prompt.

[Congratulations to the host for reaching level 5, gaining 1 skill point, and gaining 1 attribute point.] To be eligible for the Evolutionary Path selection, please select from the following attributes. Note: It cannot be changed after selection. 】

With the system's words, a cool pop-up window appeared in front of Lotta. A transparent panel of four glowing spheres floats silently.

[Fire, destroying the heavens and the earth, turning all things into ashes. 】

[Water, freezes everything, the only emperor in the pure white world. 】

[Earth, move mountains and seas, standing on the land, you are the highest metal mountain. 】

[The wind, the thunder rolls, the judge from the heavenly court.] 】

Four balls of light, four attributes, and the introduction also mentions the advancement of attributes.

Fire advanced flame, water advanced ice, wind advanced thunder, earth advanced gold.

Then Lotta chose to make a mistake with difficulty.

"He's meowing, I want to order that......"

The four attributes, he doesn't have that excessive preference. Just when he was struggling, he suddenly found that in the center of the four light balls, there was also a translucent and very inconspicuous light ball. I didn't notice it when I glanced at it just now.

This translucent black ball of light reads.

【Path of Shadows】

It's just four simple words, there is no other explanation, Lota as a system, but the system does not give any explanation for the choice of attributes.

"You ...... It makes me itch, the four elements in front of me are clear at a glance, so what is this path of shadows? Could it be the undead, the dark magic or something? ”

Lotta's curiosity was piqued.

I took a look at the four major attributes in front of me, and then looked at the path of shadows.

After much thought, Lotta decided to choose the path of shadows.

"The other four elements are so coquettish and showy, and you're so low-key and special. The profile is so short and concise, I will choose you, this is in line with our low-key style~ cough, low-key, or how to kill the white tiger. And such an optical camouflage on the panel must be some kind of hidden attribute. ”

So, Lotta finally chose the [Shadow Path] in the center.

Just after he chosen, the system pop-up window came out again.

[Best Evolution Route, 100% Fit, Gain an Additional Skill Point.] 】

Lotta looked confused.

"Didn't you say before that this attribute still has suitability, and it can also reward skill points?"

【……】

"Forget it, it's not a loss anyway."

In this way, Lotta has a long heart, it seems that this system does not put all the data on the surface, different choices, there will be a hidden reward mechanism.

As he spoke, a stream of heat came from nowhere, and by the way, it spread all over Lotta's body, and the cells in his body were activated, running wildly. He could even hear the burning of fat in his body, and vaguely seemed to smell the aroma of roasted meat.

"System, you're not going to roast me, are you?! The path of shadows I chose is not fire! ”

[Theoretically, fat is decomposed at a high speed to obtain a large amount of energy, and the magic core is condensed to the greatest extent. 】

"High-speed decomposition...... Isn't that just burning? Wow, ahhhh Fire fire fire! ”

Lotta screamed as he saw blue flames burning on his body. After struggling for a while, he stopped, because it didn't hurt, it just felt so hot. After confirming that it was only the evolution effect, Lotta breathed a sigh of relief. His round body flattened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his whole body was smoking.

Finally returned to normal body shape.

A system prompt also popped up.

【Evolution Completed】

At the same time, Lotta found that her attribute bar and skill bar had changed.

[Name: Lotta]

[Title: IQ Crusher (Reduces the IQ of nearby targets by 10%, you can choose whether to affect the target.] (Note: Titles can be replaced.) )】

[Level: 5] [Next level of XP: 201/10000]

[Race: Shadow Raccoon]

[Health: 90/90]

[Stamina: 120/120]

【Mana: 50/50】

[Four-dimensional attributes: Strength 7, Agility 11, Constitution 7, Spirit 9]

[Free Attribute Points: 2 points]

[Condition: Good.] 】

Compared to before, the title suddenly changed, and Lotta tried to change back to the previous title of coward. As for the title of this mentally handicapped aura, it was given because Lotta designed the pit to kill the white tiger and the python.

The race had changed, too, but Lotta couldn't see the difference.

On top of that, he has an extra mana value, which is commonly known as the blue bar.

This also means that he can put his skills!

I couldn't wait to open the skill bar, and there were two more skills in it.

[Shadow Cloak Lv1: Passive skill, as a shadow raccoon, when you hide in the shadows, you will automatically enter the stealth state.] Current Skill Effect: Invisibility Level 50%]

[Shadow Worm Lv1: Gather a Shadow Worm to launch an attack on the target.] Current Skill Effect: Condense a small worm that consumes 5 mana. Note: Sodium worms are autopredatory. 】

[Skill Points: 2]

"The path of shadows refers to...... Control the shadows? ”

After reading the introduction, Lotta was a little uncertain. Sunlight shines through the door made of special vines, through the wisps of sunlight, and under the Tyndall effect, a clearly visible path of light appears.

Lotta held out her arm.

The dappled sunlight sprinkled on him.

That's when a magical scene happened.

Everything is normal where there is sunlight, but the edge areas that do not shine in the sunlight slowly become translucent, and only a faint outline can be seen.

Lota's eyes widened.

He rolled over and let the sun reach his belly.

The next moment.

The bright light suddenly disappeared from the body, and only the sunlight could be seen.

After a few attempts, Lotta understood how this shadow cloak's ability activated.

It activates as long as there is a contrast of light and dark light near the body. For example, in a well-lit room, he will not be invisible. But at this time, shine a strong light next to him, and he will enter the shadow and disappear. Even if there is enough light in the room, he can be invisible as long as there is a brighter light contrast.

Then he tried another skill.

"Shadow worms."

As he cast the spell, he felt something in his body be pulled away, and the black light condensed together to form a small translucent black worm like a shadow. After condensing, it nested in the claws of Lotta, motionless.

Lotta didn't know the bug.

Although it is vague, it has wings, insect legs, and mouthparts, and it looks like a streamlined body, which is quite handsome.

Looking around, there was no suitable target for attack, so Lotta casually pointed at the vines and motioned for the thing to attack at will. The little insect wings cocked, and instantly turned into a black afterimage and rushed out.

Poof.

With a soft sound, there was an egg-sized hole in the vine door, and a bright ray of sunlight shone in.

Lotta's eyes lit up, and she tried to summon another bug and hit the trunk of the tree.

With a thud, a pit about 5 cm deep appeared on the wall. Stretching out his claws to test the depth, he was quite satisfied with the attack power of this skill.
