Chapter 3 Source Stone

The above stats, Strength, Physique, Agility, and Perception, represent a Witcher's basic stats.

1.0 is the limit that normal humans can reach, while the basic ability data of ordinary people is between 0.5~0.6.

Xu Hao knew that except for some who were seriously ill or born weak, the initial attributes of most of the newborn demon hunters were almost the same.

"Attention! Number A0365: No initial class has been selected at this time. ”

The voice of indifference like a machine appeared in Xu Hao's mind again, and immediately, the image of the six weapons appeared in front of his eyes.

They are long swords, broadswords, fist gloves, longbows, daggers, and branches.

"Please number A0365 and choose any weapon." The Demon Hunter Emblem prompted.

Xu Hao knew that these six weapons represented the six professions of the witcher, swordsman, swordsman, boxer, archer, assassin, and healer.

Once you've chosen your weapon, you'll become its counterpart, a professional witcher.

Smiling slightly, Xu Hao stretched out his right hand and grabbed the longbow in the five images without hesitation.

In his previous life, he was an extremely powerful archer with a wealth of practical experience.

If he chooses other professions, then the advantage of being reborn will be greatly reduced, which is not conducive to his future survival and development.

And in his opinion, compared to other professions, a fully grown archer is definitely the most lethal of the six professions!

"No. A0365 Confirmed Occupation: Archer"

"Strength +0.2, Physique +0.2, Perception +0.5, Dexterity +0.5"

"Obtained Elementary Pei Yuan Gong (Grade D)"

"Obtain a Magic Vine Bow (D-Rank)"

"Have a set of Steel Arrows (99)"

"Get a copy of the Beginner Bow Cheats"

"Gain Class Talent: Eagle Eye (D-Rank)"

A series of prompts fell, and Xu Hao once again felt a mysterious energy gushing out of the Demon Hunting Emblem, sweeping through his body from top to bottom.

Especially my eyes, there are bursts of heat. If an outsider stood in front of Xu Hao, he would definitely be able to see several strange rays of light flashing in Xu Hao's eyes.

After the initial discomfort, Xu Hao quickly adapted, he blinked his eyes that had become extremely bright and shining, and indifferently glanced at the panicked fleeing crowd around him.

At this time, the red fog covered the entire city, and ordinary people could only see things within a few tens of meters.

The order of the whole city is already in chaos!

Xu Hao's eyes froze, and the silver light in his pupils flickered slightly.

Talents: Eagle Eye, Activate!

In an instant, in Xu Hao's eyes, the original red vision instantly became extremely clear, and his gaze seemed to be penetrating, and he immediately locked on a figure of green light flickering a hundred meters away.

It was a man of about thirty years old, with black-rimmed glasses, a suit and leather shoes, dressed as an elite, and he was standing there with a look of surprise on his face, staring at his left wrist.

There, there was a dark red watch that was exactly the same as Xu Hao's.

Demon Hunter Crest!

"He's a witcher who has absorbed the green ball of light."

"I don't know what career he will choose..."

Xu Hao took a deep look at the man in the suit and remembered his appearance.

The balls of light that have fallen all over the world cannot be counted, among which the green ball of light is already a more cherished existence, and the man in the suit absorbs the green ball of light, and he has the possibility of becoming a member of the elite witcher in the future.

Xu Hao knew that in the future, although the demon hunters and demon hunters could cooperate and even form a team, they would often be more of a competitive relationship with each other, with countless calculations and could not be prevented.

In order to survive better and get more excellent resources, it is often common to greet each other with a smile one moment, and to meet each other in the next second.

Before ensuring his safety, Xu Hao did not plan to have any relationship with the man in the suit for the time being.

"Time is running out, I need to get out of here as soon as possible."

Glancing at the blood-red sky, Xu Hao quickly got on a Honda motorcycle and drove towards the south area of the city center of S at a gallop.

……

The Fujing Garden residential area in the southern district is not the most prosperous area in S City, but it is the place where the rich and high-ranking officials are most concentrated. Those who can live here are definitely rich or expensive.

Adjacent to Fujing Garden, there is also a military training base, where a battalion of troops is stationed all year round.

Far from the densely populated urban center, Xu Hao drove here, and it was already more than two hours later.

Even near the suburbs, a thick red mist still fills every inch of the air, and the appearance of the city becomes very blurred, and a sense of impending wind and rain envelops the hearts of citizens.

The efficiency of the government is still relatively high. After the chaos broke out, a large number of police forces were immediately mobilized to maintain order, and the citizens of the southern district had already overcome the initial panic.

Under the reassurance of government officials, people's mood gradually calmed down, but the doubts in people's hearts did not dissipate.

All sorts of speculation ensued.

Why is the sky so red?

How did the red mist that pervade form everywhere?

What's that colorful pillar of light?

If it wasn't a terrorist attack, could it be an alien invasion?

Or is it a legendary harbinger of the coming end of the world?

There has been a lot of discussion, but so far, there has been no accurate official answer, and many suspicions have made everyone feel uneasy.

Still, the government's reassurance worked, and most people were able to remain somewhat calm, after all, apart from these bizarre imaginations that cannot be explained for the time being, there were no greater casualties around the world.

Only Xu Hao knew that under this seemingly calm, a real disaster was brewing, and it seemed that an invisible sword was hanging over people's heads, and it would soon be stabbed fiercely.

……

When he came to the South District of S City, Xu Hao did not enter the Fujing Garden, where the rich and high-ranking officials gathered, but approached the outside of the military training base, found a ten-story ordinary residential building, and directly rented the top floor.

The money that Zhao Yaqing lent him cost 3,000 yuan just to rent a house, although the house price outside Fujing Garden is not expensive, but including the deposit, this money can only let him live for a month.

The remaining 1,000 yuan was used by him to buy a large amount of food that could be stored for a long time, including several large bags of raw rice, a large amount of canned meat, and enough drinking water, enough for him to eat and drink for more than a month.

The Demon Hunting Crest in his hand has a vacuum storage space inside, about five square meters, and any other item can be placed in it except for living beings.

Just like the Qiankun bag used by the immortals, everything was stored in the storage space of the Demon Hunting Emblem without any weight.

At this moment, Xu Hao was standing outside the rooftop of the suite he rented, condescending, with an unobstructed view of the flow of people on the streets on all sides.

With his talent, Eagle Eye, he can clearly capture everything that comes into view within a kilometer.

"It's not bad location."

Xu Hao nodded with satisfaction, then returned to his suite, sat cross-legged in the living room, and then opened the storage space of the Demon Hunting Emblem.

His gaze raced over the many foods, landing on a pile of dull gray hedrons that glowed faintly.

Looking at these spars, even if he had been prepared, Xu Hao's heart couldn't help but feel hot.

Source Stone!

A whole hundred source stones!

"Sure enough, a demon hunter who fuses a purple ball of light will be rewarded with a hundred low-level source stones!"

"In my previous life, I fused the yellow ball of light, and I only got ten low-level source stones, but now, I actually got a hundred low-level source stones, a full ten times the difference..."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Hao couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, took out a source stone with his mind, held it firmly in his hand, and felt a warm and jade-like feeling in his palm.

The so-called source stone is a kind of precious spar that condenses a large amount of heaven and earth vitality and can only be formed after countless years of precipitation.

For every Demon Hunter, the Source Stone is the best guarantee for their survival and strength.

Because the Demon Hunter Emblem not only transforms the physique of every Demon Hunter, but more importantly, it helps the Demon Hunter open up the dantian qi pocket, so that the Demon Hunter has the ability to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth and cultivate the vitality to strengthen himself.

However, due to the extremely thin Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that exists on the earth, it is difficult for the Demon Hunter to use it, and if they want to continuously enhance their strength, they can only absorb the source stone.

It can be seen that each source stone is very precious.

Xu Hao knew that if a demon hunter initially absorbed a white ball of light, then he would only have 5 source stones in his demon hunting crest, 10 for yellow, 20 for green, and 50 for red.

In the previous life, more than 90% of the witchers initially absorbed white and yellow balls of light, and there were very few witchers who could absorb green balls of light, so you can imagine how rare the purple balls of light Xu Hao absorbed.

If everything happens as in the previous life, then there will be five days left before the Red Mist Virus infected person is completely demonized and reduced to a killing machine!

In these five days, as long as he could fully utilize these hundred low-level source stones as the cornerstone of his development, he was confident that he would greatly improve his strength and gain an early advantage far beyond most demon hunters before the disaster completely broke out.

Thinking of this, the sense of urgency in Xu Hao's heart was even greater. Others don't know, but he knows very well the horrors of those demonic creatures in the future.

Even the demon hunters, who were known as demon slaying warriors in later generations, would never be able to compete with any demonized creature single-handedly if they did not join forces to hunt in the early stage.

The first thing he had to do now was to learn the exercise given by the Demon Hunting Emblem: Elementary Pei Yuan Gong.

Every newborn demon hunter has opened up a dantian air pocket in his body; And a dantian air pocket can hold a amount of vitality.

The amount of vitality greatly determines the strength of a demon hunter.

During the battle, once the vitality in the dantian qi pocket is exhausted, it must be replenished in time.

And if you want to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, restore the vitality of the dantian air pockets, and even further open up more dantian air pockets, you must open up a qi vein.

The number of qi veins determines the efficiency of the demon hunter in absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth.

Then the medium needed to open up a qi vein is the primary Pei Yuan Gong given by the cultivation of the Demon Hunting Emblem.

Xu Hao took out a secret book with a dull yellow luster from the storage space, and at the same time, a series of information immediately appeared in his mind.

"Elementary Pei Yuan Gong"

"Class: General"

"Grade: D"

"Effect: Open up the first dantian qi vein"

"Value: Twenty Points"

After this information appeared, Xu Hao's mind sounded the prompt sound of the demon hunting crest

"No. A0365 has not yet opened up the qi vein, do you use the primary Pei Yuan Gong to open the first qi vein?"

"Yes." Xu Hao said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, the dark yellow cheats in Xu Hao's hand suddenly shined, and then disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a series of unfamiliar information entered Xu Hao's mind. Xu Hao knew that that was the luck of the junior Pei Yuan Gong.

At the same time, Xu Hao felt a stream of heat rushing into his body, and a sharp and incomparably stabbing sensation came from his abdomen, as if he had been stabbed suddenly.

Xu Hao let out a muffled snort, couldn't help gritting his teeth, and fine cold sweat overflowed on his forehead.

After a few moments, the chime of the Hunting Crest sounded again.

"No. A0365 successfully opened up the first dantian qi vein!"

The pain in his abdomen gradually disappeared, and Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Without further ado, he immediately picked up a source stone with a flickering ghostly light, closed his eyes according to the luck method left by the junior Pei Yuan Gong, concentrated his breath, and slowly exhaled it.

Soon, the source stone in Xu Hao's hand shone slightly, producing a trace of air flow that was imperceptible to the naked eye, like mud entering the sea, slowly integrating into Xu Hao's palm, through the first qi vein, into the dantian air pocket.

Xu Hao sat still, and the whole person was like a sculpture.

As time passed, the shape of the source stone in his hand became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into tiny debris like dust, which gently drifted in the air when the breeze blew.

Xu Hao's sitting posture remained unchanged, and a brand-new source stone appeared in his palm again, continuing to breathe in luck, constantly absorbing the heaven and earth vitality in the source stone.

In his dantian, the amount of vitality in the first air pocket was already full, and as the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth continued to pour in, the form of the second air pocket gradually formed...
