Chen Longshi held Zhijiang's soft body with both hands and refused to let go, and walked to the green "heart" left by the sword demon and looked at it for a long time.

Shaped like a heart, it is actually a strange stone with special life energy. You don't dare to touch it with your hands, you can only drag it up with your mind.

A little induction, it turned out to be extremely heavy, to say the least, it weighed tens of thousands of catties.

Such a heaviness made him breathe a sigh of relief: "It doesn't matter if you sink a little, I'm afraid that the secret realm is too different from the copy in my memory, and even the core task has been changed." Fortunately, although many details in memory and reality have become somewhat unrecognizable, the key line of Ou Yezi is still there.

This "heart", or this strange stone of life, is the key to being able to clear the secret realm of the Sword Shrine, and it is also his purpose this time, so naturally he can't stay here.

Chen Longshi did not withdraw after picking up the loot, and ventured deeper to search for it carefully. After all, the strength of the sword demon just now is obvious to all, and it would be great if it could burst out something.

It's a pity that the eye-catching sword weapon is broken and melted, and there is no usable sword in the whole field.

He was unwilling to disperse his spirit, and carefully investigated, and this investigation really made some discoveries. Behind a stone monument in the rear, which had been shattered by the battle just now, a hole was suddenly discovered.

Chen Longshi's heart was immediately excited, and he "grabbed" a torch that fell to the ground to illuminate it with his mental strength, and walked into the cave to avoid the stones that fell from time to time above his head. It was found that the area of this cave was not large, only a dozen square meters. In the cave, there is a stone bed, a few stone chairs and tables, and some daily necessities such as clay pots in the corner.

Chen Longshi walked to the stone table, on which there were many bamboo slips. He put Zhijiang in the corner of the wall and leaned against it, walked by and gently opened a book, but as soon as he put it in his hand, it rotted into a pile of wood ashes. With a sudden burst in my heart, I quickly pulled other bamboo slips, all of which were generally the same as quickly turning into sawdust and scattering from between my fingers.

sighed regretfully, it seemed that he had taken it for granted.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly squinted at the corner of his eye, and he turned his head sharply, looking carefully, only to find that the reflection was actually in the corner of the stone table. It was a rough stone, but it reflected the light of the torch.

"It's weird!"

After studying it for a while, he pressed towards the buckle groove. The stone table turned slowly, and when it came to the end, Chen Longshi lifted the stone table, and a dazzling golden light almost blinded him.

……

On the way back, the snow was still falling, and it had piled up to the depth of the horse's calf.

When the snow falls, everything on the earth stands still, and a group of galloping knights in the snow and the snow-covered trees in the distance form a strange ink painting. But everyone didn't appreciate the beautiful scenery at all, but felt more and more cold.

Zhijiang woke up halfway through and felt like she had slept for a long time. In a daze, I felt the horses tossing up and down, and then I woke up slowly. As soon as he raised his head, he happened to meet Chen Longshi's eyes that were frowning by the wind and snow. It turned out that she was in his arms, and a big coat wrapped her tightly, and she didn't feel the slightest wind chill.

She was shocked, and instinctively struggled, but the big hand around her waist suddenly tightened, and she felt a suffocation in her chest.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is awake. Please forgive me for being reckless, you are unconscious in the cave, and I have no choice but to take you away. Chen Longshi's warm voice came into his ears.

"Ah...... Hmm~" Zhijiang instantly flushed with shame, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Thank you, Mr. for saving your life." ”

"No, it was the princess who saved us all. The sword demon has been ambushed, and we have gained a lot this time. ”

Zhi Jiang felt the strength of the big hand holding his waist, and said shyly: "Can you let me down, I want to ride a horse by myself?" ”

"No, you don't. The snow is strong and the wind is cold, is it better for Her Royal Highness the princess to wear thin clothes or not to catch a cold? ”

Letting go of his hand slightly, Zhi Jiang realized that he was not wearing his own clothes, except that the façade was not covered with a large coat outside, and he didn't dare to move.

Chen Longshi smiled and hugged her tighter.

"Drive!"

Zhijiang's face was hot, a shyness and warmth that had never been felt before stirred in his heart, and his little head was cranky, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

Back in the city, Zhijiang fell to the ground and slipped into the house like a rabbit and disappeared.

Chen Longshi didn't care, and solemnly handed over the strange stone left by the sword demon to Ou Lian, and asked him to study it carefully, maybe this stone was the key to casting the divine sword.

Ou Lian didn't dare to be careless when he heard this, and he solemnly took the strange stone and happily agreed.

Chen Longshi returned to the room to recover and heal.

Posing in the posture of "Turtle and Snake Forging Body Exercises", the whole person entered the realm of emptiness. He has a steady stream of essence to supplement, and the recovery speed of the injured inner abdomen is far beyond ordinary people. Almost before the tenth operation of the "Turtle and Snake Forging Body Skill", it was cured.

At this moment, the five-fold (18%) of "Turtle and Snake Forging Body Skill" is still some distance from consummation.

Chen Longshi simply stopped and took out a piece of polished jade, and in the center of this jade stone was suddenly sealed a star rune with golden light. This is what was obtained from the Sword Demon Cave Mansion, and it should be left by the mysterious Ou Yezi.

Under the mental communication, he immediately got the information of the Star Rune Stone.

It is a unique auxiliary Inheritance Star Skill Rune Stone, and it also has a nickname in the previous life game - the Vice-Inheritance Stone. As the name suggests, it's a sub-professional inheritance. It appeared in a novice dungeon like the Sword Shrine Secret Realm, although it was a bit ahead of its time, but it wouldn't seem so strange if it was used as the ultimate reward for the Novice Village.

The only problem is that each person is limited in the amount of Inheritance Talismans that can be sacrificed.

Before breaking through the diamond life, you can only have one subclass inheritance skill.

Diamond Life ...... He's only bronze, it's a long journey of life, who would have thought that there would be no accidents during this period. Therefore, the first deputy position must be cherished and valued.

【Inheritance Star Rune - Sword Devouring Technique】

Star Skill Level: Black Iron Level 1% (Can Grow)

Skill effect 1: You can use this star skill to ignite a sword-like star weapon to awaken the spirit of the sword, and refining it can be used as a natal sword weapon. Once the natal sword weapon is refined, it cannot be changed or replaced, and even if the natal sword weapon is damaged, it can also be repaired by devouring it with the [Sword Devouring Technique].

Skill Effect 2: You can use [Sword Devouring Technique] to ignite sword star weapons to devour weapons of the same grade and type, and can automatically derive prohibitions. When the prohibition is broken through the limit, the Natal Sword Weapon will be promoted, from the original grade to a higher-grade Star Weapon.

At present, it is a black iron-level star skill, and it can only ignite a first-grade sword-like star weapon.

Note: I, Ou Yezi, have been forging swords all my life, and I have worked hard to break through the limit of sword casting, until I found such an evil thing as [Sword Devouring Technique], which I didn't like very much, and my heart of sword casting was also greatly impacted. It is important to know that every star weapon has its own life, let alone a sword weapon. I wanted to destroy it, but the treasure was bestowed, and it would damage the peace of heaven if it was easily destroyed. Therefore, stay here to wait for those who are destined.

Don't hurt other swords easily.

……

Chen Longshi did not want to follow the path of simple sword cultivation, and his usual weapon was a spear.

[Sword Devouring Technique] should be a more troublesome sub-class skill in terms of effect.

It should be the route of star weapon cultivation, if a first-grade star weapon grows into a four-grade star weapon, the star weapon that needs to be sacrificed during this period is unknown. With the memories he had traversed, it was not difficult to get a higher-grade star weapon even if he wanted to get a sword, but it was even more difficult to sacrifice one star weapon after another, right?

And at present, the level of star skill is only black iron, and I don't know how fast this kind of growth star skill is. If the growth rate of the star skill is too slow, this star rune will fall behind when it falls into his hands.

It is said that "one will make ten thousand bones dry", but this star skill is "one sword is cast into ten thousand swords and becomes a sacrifice". It's no wonder that Ou Yezi doesn't like it, he has been forging swords all his life, and he loves swords like his life, how can he tolerate the existence of such a crooked and evil way or even a detour to overtake.

Not destroying it is already a great kindness.

But Chen Longshi also learned swordsmanship, and he was extremely proficient, and obviously did not reject the use of swords.

On the other hand, the benefit of [Sword Devouring Technique] is also quite obvious, that is, it can make the star weapon reach a higher level, and it is not impossible to even break away from the star weapon category and advance to a higher level.

Even if you only look at this, this inheritance star technique rune must not be let go.

At the moment, he breathed for a while, making his heart calm, and began to communicate with the golden inheritance star rune in the jade with his spirit and refine it.

As for the natal sword weapon, he is not in a hurry, if nothing else, when he clears the Sword Shrine Secret Realm, he will be rewarded by the school with a thirty-six forbidden four-grade star weapon. Just as an alternative.

Just as he was busy improving, Ou Lian from the outside world just hurriedly did some treatment, and he couldn't wait to study the magical ore that Chen Longshi brought back. He also benefited a lot from this trip to the mine, not only got the sword-casting experience left by Ou Yezi, but also found a new sword-casting opportunity from this ore.

After a little understanding of the properties of this ore, he was like a treasure.

"It is worthy of being left by the ancestors. This stone has an extremely high degree of compatibility with star power, and there is also a strange life energy, and its energy strength is far beyond imagination. Just saying that it can spread by itself, it can be seen that it has derived many sword demon guards. The hardness and texture of the ore even surpass that of Qingli stone, and it is naturally sharp, making it an excellent ore for forging swords. ”

With this ore, the pressure of casting the Excalibur that has been pressing on my heart all this time seems to have a breakthrough.

"I want to use it to cast a divine sword, I have a hunch, this time it will definitely be able to cast a divine sword to suppress the sword of the King of Chu."

At that moment, the swordsmiths were summoned to start refining the sword, and hundreds of strong men went into battle shirtless in the wind and snow and shouted high slogans to ignite the sword furnace, and the flames rose to the sky, and black smoke could be seen billowing out of ten miles away.

However, Ou Lian was full of expectations, but he encountered trouble at the beginning of smelting the ore, and even the high furnace temperature could not melt the ore. Looking at the stone that still emitted green light in the fire, it seemed to sneer at everyone: "With you waiting for mortal fire, you also want to smelt me." ”

The news that the strange stone could not be smelted soon spread throughout the upper echelons, and everyone rushed to discuss it when they heard the news.

Zhi Jiang asked, "Brother Ou Lian, is there any other way?" ”

Ou Lian still had the smell of blood on his body, and obviously his injuries had worsened again, and the whole person frowned and said, "Maybe the heating time is not enough, but the strength of the sword furnace is already at the peak of this stage." I'll try to find a way to keep increasing the boiler temperature, I don't believe it can't melt. ”

Ji Bu had a thick bandage wrapped around his chest, and said in a loud voice: "Lian boy, I support you." If it can't be smelted in one day, then it will take ten days and a hundred days to make steel. It's been a long time to wait, so what's the point of waiting any longer. I think I will be able to melt it down one day. ”

Ou Lian looked grateful.

Qu Chenzi said with a sad face: "I'm afraid that time will not wait, there is a heavy snow today, and the tomb of the King of Chu will not allow me to cast a sword with peace of mind." As soon as these words came out, the crowd fell silent again.

Zhi Jiang thought for a while and said, "I don't know, with the flame temperature of the Spirit of the Nine-Headed Bird, can the strange stone melt?" ”

"This ......"

Everyone glanced at each other, they didn't know much about the spirit of the nine-headed bird, but in today's battle in the mine, the power of the spirit of the nine-headed bird has been undoubtedly demonstrated, maybe it is really possible.

"No." Watchenzi vetoed it, "Every time you awaken the spirit of the nine-headed bird, you are burning your life force as firewood. Zhijiang, you are still young, how can you awaken the spirit of the nine-headed bird again and again. Do you want Zhenwang City to completely lose the royal blood? ”

Zhi Jiang said with a serious face: "If it can be forged into a divine sword and completely eradicate the threat of the tomb of King Chu, what is the pity of Zhi Jiang's life." ”

"You ......"

"Hey!"
