[Consumes 40 XP points...... Maga Fighting Level Raised to LV4! +0.4 Constitution, +0.4 Strength! 】

[The current level of Maga Fighting Technique has been upgraded to LV4, and you will get an exclusive bonus - the power of the tiger!] 】

[Tiger's Power - Strength +0.4!] Lasts 30 seconds, falls into a weakened state after use, strength -0.2, constitution -0.2, duration 3 hours! 】

……

Seeing the hint, a hint of surprise appeared on Sulu's face.

"Maga Fighting Technique has been upgraded to LV4, and there is even a branch bonus? This so-called tiger power is actually a berserk technique! ”

Although there are some sequelae, it is very good to use it to fight hard at critical moments.

At this time alone, his strength has reached 1.5, half more than ordinary people!

It's even easier to deal with mutant mice.

It didn't take long for him to come to the end of a fork in the road.

It was a dead end, sealed by thick walls at the end, and a foul stench permeated the air, with the smell of decay.

Sulu lifted the oil lamp, and in the dim light, a figure lying on the ground was reflected, and several large clouds of darkness moved on it, occasionally revealing scarlet eyes.

"Corpses?! A carrion? ”

Sulu frowned, it was obvious that it was a nuisance.

And above the corpse, mutant rats squeaked with their teeth and claws, making intimidating squeaks.

"Could it be...... This corpse is the source of their mutation? ”

Sulu looked around again.

Beneath the corpse, a puddle of dark brown marks was vast, with an unsettling smell to him.

"The rats are holding on to the source of mutation? It shouldn't be the corpses, but the environment they can't take with them...... Could it be this pool of blood? ”

Sulu felt that he might have guessed the truth.

The origin of this carrion is certainly not simple, and his death has affected the environment of this area, giving rise to mutant rats.

These mutant rats have simple intelligence, and know that if they leave here, they will lose the opportunity to continue their evolution and increase their companions, so they will not leave, and have attacked the scavengers many times.

"Could it be the remains of the transcendent?!"

Sulu's eyes lit up and he took a few more steps forward.

"Squeak!"

In order to protect the most important property, several large rats immediately pounced.

Unfortunately, when the ordinary rat population is almost dead and injured, and the number of mutant rats has also decreased sharply, there are only five or six here now.

Sulu showed no mercy, one pickaxe at a time.

Later, the pickaxe in his hand flew out and crucified the last of the rats, which appeared to be in a semi-mutated state, to the ground.

"There should be more than these mutant rats, maybe some of them are smart enough to resist the temptation and take their little brother away and fly away?"

Sulu secretly guessed and came to the corpse.

To his surprise, the corpse had been dead for a while, but it was not in a state of high decay, but only dehydrated and shrunken, turning into a dried corpse, and its skin had turned blue-black.

On top of the corpse, there are also a large number of mutilations, which must have been formed by rats.

"There are so many mutant mice, and then it is not difficult to manipulate the rat swarm and drag away a corpse...... Is it because this corpse is peculiar? Or are you reluctant to accept this environment? ”

Sulu didn't know, because he didn't move the language of the mouse.

At this time, he carried an oil lamp and shone it on the face of the dried corpse.

"Sorry...... I really don't recognize your gender! ”

The corpse was dressed in a black robe with a hood, which was very tattered, and how could it be clear if you looked at a skinny skull?

Sulu endured his nausea and flipped it over with a pickaxe.

Tear and pull!

The tattered black robe was easily torn apart, and a cursory search revealed only a few loot - several pieces of parchment contained in a certain iron cylinder, and a small money bag.

The texture of the money bag is very good, and when it is opened, a few golden rays of light shine out.

"It's ...... Golden Dragon?! ”

Sulu nodded, picked them up one by one, counted them, and there were five.

The golden dragon is a minted gold coin, the back is decorated with a dragon head, and the obverse is the head of William, the 'conqueror of the West', the weight is very heavy, a golden dragon can be exchanged for ten standard silver eagles, if it is exchanged for paper money silver dollars, in the black market, the price will rise by one or two percent.

"You can say ...... I worked part-time for a few months, and I didn't have so much money! ”

If it was before, Sulu would have been very excited to suddenly get such a windfall.

But now, he cares more about the transcendent clues he gets from the other party.

Picking up the torn paper under the oil lamp, the strange words on it immediately made Sulu frown: "It's not a common Heber, and it's not an ancient Hebrew!" ”

On the pale yellow thick parchment, the delicate lines have an indescribable touch to the touch, while the black fonts are distorted like snakes, just a few more glances, Sulu is a little dizzy.

"It should be an ancient language, you have to go back and check the information......"

Looking at the corpse, Sulu fell into a deep groan for a moment.

The other party is very likely to be a transcendent person, once he is found dead here, he is the first to find out, and trouble will inevitably follow.

Therefore, it is necessary to destroy the corpse and protect this secret!

As for the corpse queen creation or something?

It is not clear whether the other party is male or female, and it is not said that the corpse is incomplete.

Just after seeing a ghost last time, isn't Sulu still afraid of the dark?

Anyway, he didn't dare to try that mysterious ritual again.

"It's just a discarded section of the sewer, so it's not too difficult to deal with!"

Sulu looked at the black-brown ground around him, which was a sign of blood mixed with dirt and, more importantly, seemed to be directly related to the mutation of the giant rat.

"These have to be shoveled out and poured into the gutter!"

After the calculation was clear, Sulu immediately returned to the surface, brought in more tools, and began to destroy the corpse.

Bite!

Suddenly, a black object was gouged out with a crisp sound.

"Huh?"

Sulu flicked it and found that it was a diamond-shaped piece of black iron, the size of a child's palm, with an Ouroboros carved in the center.

"Ouroboros Ring...... The legendary Ouroboros continues to devour the snake's tail with its head, implying eternity in the end?! ”

Sulu, who recalled some knowledge of demon hunting, made a slight identification: "In the occult, it is a very important symbol, but it is not recognized by the Seven Gods!" ”

At the moment, it seems to be some kind of token or badge or something?

Sulu thought for a moment, took the piece of iron into his arms, and strode out of the fork in the road.

Soon after he left, a flame rose and gradually enveloped the entire passage, greedily devouring everything......
