Bai Ze, Shangguan Bingxue, and Wu Yijun quickly moved together. Although the tarantulas were indeed all killed, they did not know when more enemies would appear, so they immediately began to search for them in the dense grass covered in blood red.

"There's a soul stone here!"

"There's one here, too."

In less than ten seconds, the two women screamed one after the other.

Bai Ze bent down at the right time, picked up another soul stone, put it in the palm of his hand, and looked at the two soul stones. His eyes lit up, and just as he whispered a question, a beautiful and clear voice rang in his ears.

"As I said before, all monsters have a chance to spawn soul stones, even the weakest ones. In fact, even zombies may spawn soul stones after reaching level 10. ”

Bai Ze nodded in agreement, and Linglong continued: "You hurry up and get those weapons made by humans, so that you can take people to collect soul stones." ”

“…… What else? Bai Ze whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

Linglong replied calmly. "As you may have noticed, human firearms don't do much damage to first-order creatures, so you'd better start crafting weapons with materials from evolved monsters."

Bai Ze frowned, thought about it, and sure enough, Linglong's words were true. Fortunately, he was ready, and at present, the survivors are proceeding to dismember the corpses of mutated and evolved animals.

I'll get to work on this as soon as possible. Bai Ze secretly wrote it down in his heart.

"Also." Linglong interjected again: "You don't have to worry too much about the matter of the New Era monsters, although strange creatures will gradually appear, they will not be able to reproduce until this world enters the second stage of evolution. “

"What? The second stage of evolution? Bai Ze's eyes widened and he lowered his voice, so as not to be heard and think of himself as a madman.

Linglong paused, then continued to explain.

"The mana of the world has been dormant for countless years, probably from the moment this planet was born. Now it's like a newborn that has learned to crawl through soul recordings...... But it still needs to learn to walk, then run, and so on. In short, the sooner you form your own factions and factions, the better it will be for your future. ”

Bai Ze took a deep breath, nodded, and did not respond. After all, the second stage of evolution, or the tenth stage of evolution, he doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing at all now.

His main focus hasn't changed, and neither has what he needs to do. He just needs to get stronger, like he's been awakening sleeping mana since the first day the soul record arrived on Earth.

The sound of footsteps behind him made Bai Ze turn around slowly, only to see Shangguan Bingxue walking towards him, and Wu Yijun next to him. In the arms of the two women, they both held a bunch of soul stones.

"What are we going to do?" Shangguan Bingxue glanced at him, and then looked at the soul stone in his hand, looking puzzled.

She had checked it herself before, and the soul stone could enhance her magic according to different types. As long as the Soul Stone does not focus on a specific element, it can act as an energy catalyst, increasing magical damage to enemies to a large extent.

Of course, this also largely depends on whether the soul stone is ordinary or first-order, and so on. Moreover, if she used an ordinary first-order soul stone to cast an ice-type spell, and then used an ice-based first-order soul stone, the effect would naturally be much better.

It was precisely because of all this that Shangguan Bingxue knew that the soul stone was an incomparably precious treasure at the moment. Therefore, she was worried about what to do with such a treasure.

Bai Ze thought about it for a while, but still decided: "Just leave them here for the time being, and when we get the armament, we can bring a large number of survivors and collect them." ”

Wu Yijun nodded and said, "I agree with you, otherwise it would have taken us a few years to find all the soul stones in this dense grass." ”

Shangguan Bingxue hesitated for a moment, and then gently placed the soul stone on the ground. However, she took a few of them herself and put them in a small leather bag tied around her waist.

Wu Yijun also did so, and Bai Ze also left some.

Just as Bai Ze was loading a few soul stones, he remembered something very important, and told the girls to wait for a while, and he flipped through his records.

[Evolutionary Requirements——]

[Bronze Skin (Tier 1 Passive Skill) Level 4 -----> Level 5:]

[Stamina stat without external blessings exceeds 300 points: Completed]

[Soul Stone: 9/9]

[Do you want to upgrade your bronze skin skills to the next level?] 】

Bai Ze looked at the two women beside him, and finally decided to evolve. In any case, the fact that skills can evolve is no secret. It's just that maybe no one has done it yet.

Nine ungraded soul stones came out of his bag and floated in the air, starting to glow under the surprised gazes of Shangguan Bingxue and Wu Yijun.

When the evolution process was over, Bai Ze looked at the new skill and found that it was not +140 stamina now, but bronze skin level 5 gave him a total of permanent +160 stamina. 20 strength bonus, equivalent to level 10 attribute points.

"Is this the evolution of skills?" Shangguan Bingxue asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Bai Ze replied casually, without concealing it at all, and then evolved again.

[Evolutionary Requirements——]

[Health Up (Uncategorized Passive Skill) Level 5:]

[Life attribute without external blessing exceeds 150 points: Completed]

[Soul Stone: 15/15]

[First Order Soul Stone: 1/1]

[Do you want to evolve your HP Boost skill to the first tier?] 】

As soon as the thought moved, different levels of soul stones flew out of his bag and began to spin, forming a strange diamond that entered his body violently. The runes that represented the health enhancement skills flashed, and the whole person's soul seemed to become purer, and the body was much lighter than before.

Just the evolution of skills, Bai Ze felt as if the burden on his shoulders had been lifted. That's the incredible thing about soul records!

[Superhuman Health (1st Passive Skill) Level 1: Increases the effect of healing skills on you by 20%. Permanent +120 Health]
