The crescent moon hides in the dark clouds, and only the dappled starlight shines in the jungle, and everything seems to be silent, except for the occasional call of birds, indicating that there is still plenty of life in this jungle.

At this moment, under a large tree somewhere in the jungle, Barron held a long knife without a scabbard in his arms.

By the way, the long knife was snatched by Barron from some hapless undead warrior in the Golden Lion City, along with a pair of linen shorts.

In the blizzard ahead, Barron lost not only weapons and equipment, but also a full set of clothes.

In order to avoid immorality, Barron still endured his nausea, and took the only sackcloth shorts on the body of an undead warrior who was about his size and put them on, so as to avoid being naked. Ben's embarrassing situation.

Barron leaned against the trunk of the tree and looked at his arm in the not-so-bright moonlight.

If someone were next to Barron at this time, they would be surprised to see Barron's arm and red. The upper body is naked, covered with a layer of scale-like lines.

"Scale Armor?!" Barron muttered to himself, and it was the first time he had carefully observed the strange changes in his body after he came out of the Golden Lion City.

In addition to the scaly-like lines on his body, Barron could feel a cool breath constantly swimming through his body, but Barron could feel that as long as he had a thought, this cool breath could be used by him.

On this trip to the Golden Lion City, although Barron almost died there inexplicably, the large number of gains after nine deaths made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.

Originally, when Barron was surrounded by undead in the civilian area of the Golden Lion City, he really had a feeling that he would be finished at any time, and at that time Barron had already realized that his situation was not good.

Facing the encirclement and suppression of more than a dozen knight-level undead knights, thousands of undead warriors, and even tens of thousands of low-level zombies, Barron knew that even if he had the hole card of upgrading back to bloodflow, the possibility of escape was not high.

Because upgrading back to blood flow is not a panacea, this method of recovering injuries will overdraw his potential, and secondly, upgrading back blood flow is not a resurrection technique, if there is really a strong force to kill Barron in seconds, such as a severed head or something, Barron has no chance to use upgrades to repair his body.

And the situation he faces now is completely different from when he was in Yezi Town.

When he was in Yezi Town, he could be regarded as a one-on-one battle with Arcadia, but in the Golden Lion City, he had to face countless undead.

In this situation, he has to face not just one Francisco, but many other powerful undead.

Once Barron is severely injured, his original experience is only 4315/2000, which is only enough for one upgrade, and Barron will almost inevitably be killed or captured.

Even if the upgrade can allow him to recover from his injuries, it still has no effect, at most it can only be delayed for a while, but the final result will not change anything.

Therefore, Barron made a bold decision to try to awaken the power of ice by swallowing the Fish-Man King's Crown (Fine) crafting ingredient - the Fish-Man King's Ice Orb.

......

Ice Bead of the Fish-Man King (Excellent): Each Fish-Man will produce a bead with the power of ice, and this bead is the Ice Bead condensed by the king of the Fish-Man Clan.

Effect: Originally had a powerful power of ice, but unfortunately due to the passage of time, this ice bead now contains less than one-ten-thousandth of the original power, which can be used to inlay your weapon, so that your weapon has a certain chance of having the power of ice. You can also swallow this ice bead directly, and after swallowing it, you will have a very low chance of awakening the power of ice.

Side effects: If you choose to swallow it directly, there is a certain chance that the body will produce a frozen state, resulting in body organ failure, or there is a certain chance of severe poisoning, please take it with caution

......

Even though he knew that the chance of the Ice Bead awakening was slim and had dangerous side effects, this method was the only way for Barron to end up with death.

Once Barron is able to awaken the so-called power of ice, then his strength will be greatly improved compared to the original.

At that time, except for Francisco, a high-level undead knight, including the intermediate undead knights such as [Hawkeye] Olevin and [Ice Bear] Ivanshka, if you go one-on-one, none of the undead will be Barron's opponents.

Even if Olevin and Ivanshka join forces, Barron will not worry too much, if he can't escape, he will definitely escape, and at that time Barron will have a certain amount of capital to escape.

Moreover, Barron had already planned to use the Ice Bead to obtain the power of ice, so he also made certain preparations, but unfortunately this time he was too hasty, and the plan could not catch up with the changes, resulting in some of the methods prepared by Barron not being used.

However, Barron is still certain that he can solve the side effects caused by the cold ice beads.

Because when he was at Banluo House, Barron actually took a fancy to the Ice Bead of the Fish-Man King that Aldrich took out at first sight, and this item that could awaken the power of ice was too great for Barron.

You must know that in the Nader Kingdom and even within the Seven Nations Alliance, apart from wizards, Barron has never heard of anyone with this kind of extraordinary power, not even the [Jewel Sword] Duke Dark, who is classified as the three great knights of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, does not have this kind of extraordinary power.

It's just that Aldrich only took out a Fish-Man King's Ice Bead at the beginning, and the attraction to Barron was not very great, after all, the chance of awakening was too low, and there were side effects.

But by the time Barron saw Aldrich's Fish-Man Crown, Barron knew his chance had come!

There is a high probability that more than 30 Ice Orbs of the Fish-Man King will awaken the power of ice, enough for Baron to be willing to use the useless Life Scepter and Concealment Robe in his hands to make the Crown of Aldrich the Fish-Man King and the leaves of the Tree of War.

And the dozen or so leaves of the Tree of War that he had obtained from Aldrich were one of Barron's backups.

......

Leaves of the Tree of War (Excellent): Each leaf contains information about the Tree of War for tens of thousands of years.

Effect: It has a certain healing ability, placing leaves on the wound can speed up the healing of the wound, and if you take it directly, in addition to temporarily increasing the recovery ability of a certain body, there will also be a very low chance of comprehending a certain combat skill

......

With the leaves of these more than ten pieces of the Tree of War, it can improve Barron's physical recovery ability, whether it is the poisoned state or the frozen state that bursts out of the cold ice beads, it has a very good resistance and healing effect.

Therefore, when he was seriously injured by Francisco, in order to save time, he swallowed more than a dozen leaves of the Tree of War and a full 31 Fish-Man King Ice Beads in one go.
