"How much have you explored the map of the first floor of the castle now?"

Cheng Shen asked while swallowing the food.

"About a tenth? The castle is so much bigger than I thought it would be! I just explored the utility room on the first floor, and there was a human skin hanging in it! I almost got entangled in it and suffocated to death! ”

Zhang Yao recounts a creepy experience.

"That human skin is also a weird ...... You'll need to find a curse that can restrain the weird as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the candle burns out, it will be your time of death. ”

Cheng Shen replied.

"I did find something that could restrain the weird!"

Zhang Yao said suddenly.

"Is it easy to get your hands on it?"

Cheng Shen asked directly.

"Uh...... This one can be a bit harder. It's Brother Pig's kitchen knife used to chop meat! I was almost caught up by that ghost thing last time, it was Brother Pig who chopped it up with a knife, although it can't kill it, but it can be restricted! ”

Zhang Yao said.

The ghost thing in his mouth was the strange one that had been wandering around the first floor of the castle, and according to him, it had no body, and only showed a shadow in the light of a candle, which was undoubtedly extremely difficult to guard against.

"Shadow ......"

Cheng Shen thoughtfully.

"This shadow is the first strange thing you encountered after being born in the castle, if it is analyzed according to the logic of the system, the first strange thing you can find there must be related to it in some way."

Cheng Shen pondered.

"Even this strange object is specifically designed to restrain it."

He added.

Although Zhang Yao had just mentioned that Brother Zhu's kitchen knife could restrain that shadow, that existence was too terrifying, and the test given by the system could not be for Zhang Yao to kill Brother Zhu as soon as he came up and obtain his weapon.

So, the real test should be elsewhere.

"Restraining the ...... of Shadows"

Zhang Yao thought about it.

"Why don't I lead it into the utility room and let it touch that weird human skin?"

He said suddenly.

“…… Yours has a very creative idea. ”

Cheng Shen nodded.

"You think you can do that too, right?!"

Zhang Yao said excitedly.

"I think it's most likely that the shadow will put on human skin, turn into a more ferocious weird and continue to hunt you down."

Cheng Shen said speechlessly.

"Uh......"

Zhang Yao scratched his head.

"You try to find it harder, pay more attention to the gold products, and if it doesn't come out tomorrow, I'll help you find a way."

Cheng Shen comforted.

"Thank you, Brother Legs!"

When Zhang Yao heard this, he immediately put his heart in his stomach.

Cheng Shen's promise to him has never expired.

[Gain: Movement Speed +1!] 】

[Obtain: Night Vision +10!] 】

……

Ate four dishes.

Streams of heat continued to emerge from Cheng Shen's body.

You can clearly feel that his body has become much stronger.

He took out an ordinary short knife and slashed it at his arm, using great force to cut through a two-centimeter-long wound on his skin, and with his powerful self-healing ability, the wound healed in the blink of an eye.

"If the body defense is higher, it is estimated that it will be invulnerable......"

Cheng Shen muttered.

There are still some leftovers over from all four dishes.

His eyes rolled,

Immediately, he brought all the greasy dishes to the side of the Origin Demon Tower.

"Gollum......?"

Almost immediately, the Soul Eater poked half of its head out of the vent.

Only then did Cheng Shen discover that after six or seven waves of monsters, its appearance had changed a lot after it had been promoted to the rare level.

Its body is no longer white and fat, but gradually changes to dark blue, and yellow-white lines appear under the skin, like a caterpillar, and like a cantaloupe-flavored glutinous rice dumpling.

"Want to eat?"

Cheng Shen looked at it with a kind smile on his face. The Soul Eater's subconscious body shrank, casting only a wary glance through the vent.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person."

Cheng Shen smiled gently.

See that it is unmoved.

Cheng Shen moved the food forward, deliberately letting the aroma of the food waft out.

The Soul Eater couldn't help but squirm outward a little because of the scent.

Now is the time!

Cheng Shen's hands suddenly reached out and dragged it into his arms, and the Spirit Eater suddenly struggled violently with horror in his eyes, and his strength was so great that he almost threw Cheng Shen out, but fortunately, the Spirit Eater couldn't hurt him.

"Just take a little blood, don't move, or you will cut deeper!"

Cheng Shen slapped it.

Feeling the cold touch of the sharp blade cutting through its body, the Spirit Eater had tears in its eyes, and let out the most unwilling cry with its milking strength.

"Goo!!"

Cheng Shen took almost 400 milliliters of blood, and then let go of the "dying" soul devouring worm.

When it was in Cheng Shen's arms, it behaved as if it was going to die.

Who knows, the moment it let go of it, it rushed back into the Tower of the First Demon at lightning speed, and by the way, it gnawed a hole in the ground.

"To each according to his needs, how much better."

Cheng Shen said with satisfaction.

He uses an average of 4~5 ml of medium to make a weapon.

This 400 ml of demonic blood was enough for him to build nearly a hundred fireball staffs with infinite endurance.

And.

To his surprise.

The blood released by the Soul Eater after it was promoted to the Rare level also became a rare material.

The runes carved with it can at least double the overall performance, and the weapons created will be more powerful.

Match his newfound runes.

Cheng Shen's ability to create magical equipment suddenly went to the next level.

He didn't continue to waste time studying the two-ring rune, and Cheng Shen had basically deduced that the two-ring rune was not formed by the fusion of two one-ring runes, but a special dual-attribute rune naturally formed.

This discouraged him from creating his own runes.

want to master the new,

He could only wait for the Alliance to sell more advanced magical equipment now.

Fortunately, he had a back hand in advance, and the missionaries didn't know that he had the ability to directly decipher the runes.

Cheng Shen quickly shifted his mind to concentrating on building magic weapons.

His efficiency is fast.

It takes less than a minute to craft a staff.

In his soul form, his mana consumption rate is almost equal to his recovery speed, so it can be said that he is a humanoid building machine.

And it's the kind with super precision.

Near-zero error.

Two hours.

Cheng Shen paid for more than a hundred sophisticated weapons of various attributes.

During this time, the survivors experienced the fourth wave of monsters, perhaps due to the early start of the Gold Challenge, and the number of casualties this time dropped to a record low, and the final number of survivors reached 2654!

The more people live.

The more resources flow in the trading market.

Cheng Shen even found two materials for refining rare-grade potential potions, and the two sellers were both members of the society, and with the power of his face fruit, Cheng Shen successfully got it at a very low price.

It's just a small thing, though.

But it made Cheng Shen feel,

There was a glimmer of light in everything he had worked so hard to change.
