Chapter 8: Streak and Speculation
Pulling the sword out of the corpse and wiping the cyan blood with a soft cloth, Lin Chen took a breath to calm his excitement.
This is the first time he has killed a monster like the Sand Scorpion, and he still has a sense of accomplishment, of course, what excites him the most is that killing this monster has given him a little potential point, plus the remaining before, he now has three potential points, but unfortunately it is not enough to strengthen any of the exercises he has now.
Lin Chen is now practicing three exercises, which are the two-star lower grade inner strength heart method 'March Heart Sutra', which is now the fourth layer, and the potential point required for the next level is 15 points.
The martial art is a two-star low-grade martial art 'March Sword Technique', which is now the third layer, and the potential points required for the next layer are 10 points.
Light Gong is a one-star high-grade 'Lingxi Step', and now it is also the third layer, and the potential points required for the next layer are 6 points.
According to the calculation that the highest grade of martial arts is three stars, two-star martial arts is already good, and this is only his foundation-building exercises, and when these exercises are practiced to the full level, you can transfer to those three-star masteries, such as Yijin Sutra, Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending and other hand-me-down masters.
These familiar martial arts names before Lin Chen's crossing are widely spread in the Tower of Eternity, and they were found by the Adventists from some world fragments, which shows that the legendary novel worlds such as Dragon Babu and The Legend of the Condor Heroes are real, but they have also been broken.
Killing a sand scorpion man can harvest a whole bit of potential points, while the largest creature Lin Chen killed before was a pig, which only gave him 0.08 potential points, and the gap between the two is huge.
He guessed that the rules for obtaining potential points should have a lot to do with the strength of the person being killed, or the difficulty of the kill, he remembered that the pig he killed had already been tied up to death and had no power to fight back, and now he had a lot of effort to kill this sand scorpion, and the sand scorpion threat was much higher than that of the pig, and a bad one would be killed by the sand scorpion.
"What can this guy be worth?"
Standing next to the corpse, Lin Chen looked back and forth, and finally his eyes fell on the layer of carapace outside the corpse, if you insist on saying the value, it seems that only this layer of carapace may be of some use, maybe the spike of the tail will be useful, but just now it hit the shield with its tail, and the tip of the thorn has been broken, and this value is estimated to be gone.
After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand and made a move, and a pitch-black vortex like a black hole flew out of his palm, and a suction force came, and the corpse quickly became smaller and flew up, turning and inhaling into the vortex and disappearing, and a sand scorpion corpse appeared in the central space of the Rubik's Cube.
After thinking about it, Lin Chen's heart moved:
"Leave the shell behind, decompose!"
In the next second, an invisible force descended on the sand scorpion man, and the body within its shell began to fly out into the air like countless sands, disappearing.
In less than two seconds, a sand scorpion corpse turned into a complete scorpion shell, the inside was smooth and clean, as if it had been washed countless times, without a trace of odor.
Throwing the sand scorpion shell aside first, Lin Chen checked the creation energy, and unexpectedly did not increase as much as he imagined, but only increased by 0.1 points, from 1.6 to 1.7, Liao is better than nothing.
Lin Chen can't say anything about this, maybe this sand scorpion just has no energy in mortal things, or it only decomposes its body and does not decompose its shell, so the creation energy is a little less.
But don't worry, a sand scorpion man has appeared in this space, which means that there will definitely be more sand scorpion people, and when the time comes, more kills will not only accumulate a large number of potential points, but also decompose all the creation energy.
After resting for a while to recover his physical strength and internal strength, this time he didn't dare to save his physical strength, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and climbed up the gravel slope along the same path just now.
This time I didn't encounter the sand scorpion man, and climbed up the slope safely, and saw that on the other side of the slope was an uneven wasteland, of course, much better than the gravel beach below, there were many gravel on the ground, occasionally a small patch of wild grass, and not far away there was a small tree with a lot of branches but the upper half of the leaves had fallen off.
This was not the point, the point was that he saw a sand scorpion man crouching on the ground about thirty meters away from him, not knowing what he was eating.
With a flick of his hand, he put away the round shield, took off the recurve bow, drew an arrow and put it on the bow, aimed somewhere behind the sand scorpion's cocked tail, and slowly pulled the bowstring apart.
"Click... Click..."
The not-so-deep internal force instigated the horn bow to the full, making a slight clicking sound, but it also alarmed the sand scorpion people who were eating.
The moment he saw its body raise its head, Lin Chen's hand pinching the string loosened, and with a 'bang' sound, a trace of arrow shadow flashed and pierced the void, accurately hitting the tail of the sand scorpion, and an arrow pierced through the thick carapace and penetrated nearly half an arrow deep.
The sand scorpion man bounced up and let out a sharp scream, turned around and saw Lin Chen, the fierce light in the cloudy pupils almost overflowed the eye sockets, and the six scorpion legs stepped on the sand and 'bang' together, and the two big pincers were propped up on the ground and killed with their hands and feet.
Lin Chen, on the other hand, had no fear, calmly pulled out an arrow and put it on the bow and pulled it away, aiming at the sand scorpion man who was getting closer and closer, and shot an arrow, accurately hitting his face, directly through his head, his huge body lost its balance and hit it headlong, sliding two or three meters against the sand to the front of him.
Looking at the dying convulsive sand scorpion man, although Lin Chen's face was expressionless, his heart was full of pleasure, it was a very pleasant thing to hunt an opponent who was not weaker than himself alone, not to mention that every time he hunted one, there would be a lot of harvest, which was even more joyful.
According to the previous disposition, harvest a complete sand scorpion shell again, as well as 0.1 creation energy and 1 potential point.
Not to mention the creation energy, there are already four potential points, and there are still two points left to raise the Spirit Rhino Step to a higher level.
Strictly speaking, the most important thing of the three exercises is internal strength, but the internal strength needs the most potential points, and the spirit rhino step needs the least potential points, in this world fragment that now seems to be dangerous, he must use the fastest speed to improve his strength, rather than waiting to kill a dozen sand scorpions to accumulate enough potential points to improve his strength, it is better to improve the light skill first.
What's more, in the initial stage, the light function makes him more flexible, and the most cost-effective in the case of a small difference in strength.
Besides, if you really encounter a powerful monster, the benefits from increasing one layer of internal power in the initial stage are definitely not as good as the benefits of raising one layer of light power.
Encountering two sand scorpion people in two successions, Lin Chen had already overturned his initial judgment, the fragments of this world were definitely not safe, and he had silently prayed in his heart that there would be no monsters more powerful than sand scorpion people in this world, otherwise there would be some trouble.
