Chapter 38: Upgrading and Collecting Materials I

Ye Ping'an walked out of the stone house alone and went to the grocery store to buy three white skill books, one sweep and two blocks.

"Sweep Lv001 White quality mid-length weapons can be used, dealing physical damage (90% attack multiplier) to enemies within a certain radius of the fan in front of you."

Blocking is a general-purpose skill, and Ye Ping'an has already equipped a book for big-faced cats who love to eat fish.

Ye Ping'an was confident enough that there was no need to use blocking, but now that he might be attacked at any time, he decided to learn it in case he needed it.

After all, a skill like blocking can sometimes play a key role, especially in the hands of a master, and it is a very practical primary skill that turns decay into magic.

Back at the stone house, Ye Ping'an asked Xingqing to learn these two skill books, and then pointed out how to use them.

Xingqing's learning ability is quite good, and her attitude is also very serious, and the use of the two skills is quickly introduced.

Since the staff is a two-handed weapon, Xingqing cannot equip a shield and can only use a weapon to block, which is more difficult to block. Unlike big-faced cats who love to eat fish, as long as they can raise their shields, they can basically block successfully.

Ye Ping'an himself also learned the blocking skill, and he casually raised his crossbow to try it.

The crossbow is more difficult to block than the staff. The smaller the weapon, the harder it is to block, and it increases exponentially.

After making preparations, the three of them left the town of the dead as fast as they could.

Ye Ping'an was not worried about revealing his whereabouts, because the place where the three of them went was a terrifying desert, and they were going to a very deep place.

Even if the circus were to find it, with their level, the powerful monsters in the terrifying desert would be enough to cause them a lot of trouble. Besides, if they really have to find it, it will take a lot of time to gather people. The terrifying desert is so big, Ye Ping'an and the three of them have long disappeared.

It didn't take long for Ye Ping'an and the three of them to come to the terrifying desert.

The endless yellow sand, the shadows of monsters wandering around, this is the terrifying desert.

At this stage, even on the periphery, there are not many players. Many players who come to the horror desert for the first time will not escape the fate of being killed once by these monsters.

The Undead Town Training Ground and the Bone Farm, these two novice leveling areas give these players the illusion that the monsters in Evolution Island are not difficult.

In fact, when it comes to the Horror Desert, the strength of the monsters has been greatly improved. There are very few who can adapt in a short period of time and level up on the periphery.

After many players realize that they can't take on the monsters in the terrifying desert alone, the smarter ones start looking for quests in the town of the dead in an attempt to improve themselves.

The slightly dumber ones are back on the Bone Farm and want to level up with those meager experiences.

There are also many capable and confident players who constantly challenge the monsters in the terrifying desert, understand the characteristics of the monsters, and sharpen their level. Although their rank may have to stay in place for a while, or even regress, sooner or later they will definitely get a satisfactory harvest.

Ye Ping'an soon noticed that the three players were working together to besiege a bloodthirsty cactus.

The three of them seemed to have mastered the characteristics of the Bloodthirsty Cactus, and the three of them surrounded the Bloodthirsty Cactus at close range, not giving the Bloodthirsty Cactus a chance to use its spikes at a distance.

At the same time, the three of them take turns fighting monsters, and each of them has learned the ability to parry, which is specially designed to fend off the spiked blows that the bloodthirsty cacti will use from time to time.

Ye Ping'an nodded when he saw this, the tactics of these three people were basically no problem, and they completely restrained the strengths of the bloodthirsty cactus.

These three people are Uncle Kun, Fairy, and Nai Bai, who had watched Ye Ping'an's stalemate with the circus in the morning.

In fact, Uncle Kun pondered for a noon before they came up with this method to deal with the bloodthirsty cactus.

They had tried many times, and found that the bloodthirsty cactus was the best for them among the monsters of the terrifying desert.

Before that, they had almost been wiped out several times, and because of his carelessness, Naibai was also poisoned once by the starting hand of the human-faced scorpion.

Although the three of them are teamed up, they haven't yet established an adventure team, so they work together to reduce the monster's HP and take turns to get kills. Although the benefits are not as fast as in the form of squads, the level of improvement is only faster than most players.

It is expected that in the evening, they will be able to rise to lv006.

Ye Ping'an thought for a while and decided to step forward.

The three of them noticed Ye Ping'an at once, and they all became alert. The remaining amount of blood of the bloodthirsty cactus should not be much, should this person be here to rob the monster?

It's hard to ensure that the three of them are so vigilant, after all, as long as they get the final kill, they can get 80% of the evolution value, then their hard work will be in vain.

"He's like... The one in the morning?" The fairy quickly recognized Ye Ping'an's identity.

Nai Bai's gaze swept over the big-faced cat Fish Eater and Xingqing behind Ye Ping'an:

"That's right, it's them."

The fist in Uncle Kun's hand whirred, and he hit the bloodthirsty cactus one by one, silently.

Ye Ping'an saw the looks of the two fairies, so he stood in place and waited quietly, so as not to cause misunderstanding.

After a while, the bloodthirsty fairy fell with a roar.

"Skull, you've been standing here for so long, just say anything."

Nabai said with some contempt. She has never had a good impression of arrogant people.

"I wonder if you're interested in joining my squad?"

Ye Ping'an's eyes were full of ghosts, and his eyes fell on Uncle Kun, who had been silent.

"Your squad?" The fairy moved, "Have you already formed an adventure party?"

Ye Ping'an nodded.

"Uncle Kun, what do you think?" The fairy turned to the tall middle-aged man and asked.

Uncle Kun's eyes were deep, and he carefully examined Ye Ping'an:

"I don't care."

"Come on, join his squad? Are you hunted down by others every day? Didn't you see that he just provoked an organization of more than 200 people?" Nabai rolled her eyes.

"If you don't want to, I won't force it." Ye Ping'an was about to leave after speaking.

"Hey," the fairy lamented, "if we had an adventure party, we would be able to level up much faster."

"We'll find a way to build one when we go back." Uncle Kun looked at Ye Ping'an's back and said calmly.

"Really? Great!" The fairy shouted excitedly.

"Hey, he wants to pull us into his team, unless he gives the captain to Uncle Kun and gives me those two little beauties." Nahakura.

"Alright, let's upgrade quickly. I don't know where to get proof of adventure. Uncle Kun shook his head and said.

"There will be." The fairy's eyes lit up.

"It's a pity, I think those three people are not bad, and I want to pull them in."

Ye Ping'an and the three of them had already gone deep at this time.

"Hmph, baby, you think you're trying to trick those two little girls in!" The big-faced cat loves to eat fish, jokingly.

"Maybe." Ye Ping'an smiled.

The more he walked inside, the more wrong Ye Ping'an felt:

"Have you noticed that there are more and more human-faced scorpions here?"

"yes, it's disgusting." The big-faced cat touched her arms, and she got goosebumps at the sight of the "human faces" looming in the sand.

The density of human-faced scorpions here has reached the point where there is only one in a single step. These facial scorpions lurked in the sand, their six black eyes showing a fierce light, staring silently ahead.

"No..."Ye Ping'an suddenly remembered that when he participated in the killing of the King Human-Faced Scorpion, the King's Human-Faced Scorpion released a large number of human-faced scorpions.

Could it be that those human-faced scorpions did not disappear with the death of the king human-faced scorpion, but became monsters here?

Ye Ping'an thought about it, and there was only this one possibility.

According to this distribution density, if the big-faced cat and fish-eating Fran Rose cast the Dark Golden Sky Feather, I am afraid that it will be able to attract more than a dozen human-faced scorpions at once.

More than a dozen human-faced scorpions used the Outbreak Poisoning Skill together, and even the gods couldn't bear it!

As soon as he made up this picture, Ye Ping'an couldn't help but shudder. However, he also thought that if there was a way to resist the damage of the human-faced scorpion, or to make it instantaneous, then the evolution value that could be obtained was also huge!

However, it is obviously not possible at the moment.

"Let's get started." Ye Ping'an summoned the Enhanced Skeleton Soldier and the Abyss Prototype.

The big-faced cat loves to eat fish, and it also summons Franloth.

Ye Ping'an controlled and strengthened the skeleton soldiers, and slashed directly at the nearest human-faced scorpion.

The Human-Faced Scorpion unleashed a lightning burst skill, but the Enhanced Skeleton immediately used its shield to counterattack, not only resisting the direct damage of the Human-Faced Scorpion, but also returning some of the damage to the opponent.

The explosive skill of the human-faced scorpion was very fast, but Ye Ping'an's reaction was faster, and he had already prepared!

Resisting the first burst skill of the Human-Faced Scorpion, the Human-Faced Scorpion's combat ability is not so terrifying.

Abyss Prototype, Fran Rose, Ye Ping'an, Big-faced Cat Loves Fish, Xingqing, plus strengthened skeleton soldiers, a total of six units, and launched an attack on the human-faced scorpion at the same time.

Although the human-faced scorpion has a good defense, it can't withstand such a number of attacks, and the attack power of the Abyss Prototype and Fran Rose is even more terrifying, just after a round of attacks, the human-faced scorpion twitched and fell to the ground.

Ye Ping'an's three people each got 80% of the evolution value.

The evolution value of Ye Ping'an and the big-faced cat who loves to eat fish has increased by 1%, and Xingqing, who is only lv003, has suddenly increased by 20%.

As long as you kill two more, Xingqing can reach LV004, which can be said to be an upgrade speed like a rocket. As for Ye Ping'an, because he died once before, and he didn't have the experience of the death of the king face scorpion, the current evolution progress is only a little more than 2%. On the contrary, the big-faced cat loves to eat fish, and it has already advanced 80% of its evolution value, but it is one step ahead of Ye Ping'an to step into lv006.

Only Lv001's Fran Rose even got 50% of his evolution progress at once.

Ye Ping'an picked up the human face scorpion shell and the human face scorpion stinger dropped by the human face scorpion, these were all in the list of materials handed to him by the task merchant Duolun!
