Chapter 378: Magic Cannon and Speed Boost

Bai Ze completely dispelled the thought just now, staring at the small blue flames floating on the palms of his two hands, and soon, the recorded information flashed on his retina.

[Infinite Blue Lotus Fire (Epic Treasure): A flame with its own will. In the past, it was very powerful, and the flame represented infinity. It is said that once you attack with the Infinite Blue Lotus Fire, the flames will spread infinitely to the end of the universe, sweeping everything in its path. Its power has now been greatly diminished. In order for the Infinite Blue Lotus Fire to recover its strongest will, it needs the owner of the flame to feed the soul stone; The more soul stones, the better the quality, the more obvious the effect, and the faster the recovery. 】

【Soul Contract Effect】

[Passively increases all attributes of the user by 40, passively increases the user's fire resistance by 20%, and passively increases the power of fire-based physical and magical attacks by 10.] 】

Bai Ze sighed, looking at the terrifying bonus he had received after forming a soul pact with Wuji Qinglian Huo. Increasing all stat stats by 40 points is an exaggeration.

Each stat has 40 points, which adds up to a total of 240 attribute points!

However, another bonus that Bai Ze also likes is fire resistance. With this resistance, his adaptability to fire will be much higher, and from now on, the damage dealt to him by fire-based attacks will be much lower.

But to Bai Ze's shock, his fire magic and physical attacks were +10% increase. This may be the smallest bonus he gets from the Infinite Blue Lotus Fire, but for Bai Ze, this 10% is the most terrifying.

Because he, a warrior who aims to take out the enemy as quickly as possible, his strongest attack has increased by 10%, which is a huge enhancement!

Imagine the gravity-powered Crimson Trial, coupled with the activation of the Mystic Earrings' magical impact skill, plus the newly acquired 10% bonus damage from fire-based attacks, plus the power of the Infinite Blue Lotus Fire...... Bai Ze gasped, imagining the result in his mind.

He must not use this skill casually, otherwise he will definitely hurt the innocent.

"Isn't it good to use it together?" Bai Ze finally realized something he didn't care much about before.

He is very cautious and picky about the active skills he has learned, but even he himself is surprised because everything seems to be too perfect.

Bai Ze laughed at himself and withdrew the Infinite Blue Lotus Fire into his body.

He could feel the small dark blue flames burning. Next, he will feed it some soul stones to strengthen it.

Speaking of the soul stone, Bai Ze was very excited, he knew how to improve the power of the Infinite Blue Lotus Fire. At the very least, he won't be as disoriented as a headless fly.

After about ten minutes, Bai Ze counted the number of soul stones and skill scrolls he had obtained after hunting goblins.

In the end, he had 154 ungraded soul stones, 32 first-order soul stones, and 1 second-order soul stone in his bag. Although it was a pity that none of the three second-order goblins he killed had soul stones in their heads, Bai Ze had already expected this to happen, and was even ready to have no second-order soul stones.

As for skill scrolls, there are dozens of them. Except for a few that made him curious, there were no skills that caught his attention.

In the end, Bai Ze left a few scrolls, the first-order active skill Earth Shield, the active skill Mortal Vine, the first-order active skill Feather Step, the active skill Fireball, the active skill Lightning Arrow, and several other scrolls of active and passive skills.

As for Bai Ze himself, he finally got a passive skill.

[Speed Increase (Ungraded Passive Skill) Level 3: After learning this skill, agility is permanently increased by 20 points.] 】

Surprisingly, despite being only a levelless skill, a passive that permanently increases attributes is rare. As for this speed-increasing skill, very few people in Bai Ze's camp possess it, and although he may use his subordinate scrolls as a leader, it is not good to do so.

Besides, Bai Ze's speed is already very fast, and although he is very interested in skills, he can only endure it. Now, he can finally teach himself.

"Before I start upgrading this skill, I should check it first......" Bai Ze got up from the bed and picked up the last thing he hadn't checked yet.

It was an ancient scroll that appeared to have been made of sheepskin.

Another production scheme.

Goblin Cannon (Level 3): A blueprint for the construction of weapons created by genius blacksmiths and artifact makers belonging to the Goblin race. The power of the Goblin Magic Cannon is enough to crush the second-order existence and threaten the third-order existence. Forging requires third-order metals, magic powder, and third-order soul stones. It has a straight-line range of 500 meters, and there must be a 120-second interval between each shell to avoid overheating or even collapsing the weapon. 】

"I see." Bai Ze looked at the information he had just received and nodded calmly.

The Goblin Cannon has the potential to become a weapon that humans will rely on in the future. It's not possible to build yet, but having the building blueprints will help you a lot in crafting weapons.

Bai Ze had a lot of ideas in his head, and he believed that if he could get the help of some craftsmen, they would definitely improve even more.

The conditions needed to build a goblin magic cannon, Bai Ze has nothing. However, at least he had the recipe for making magic powder. And, while the construction process requires at least third-order metal, Shirasawa is fairly certain that even second-order metals will do. Of course, the result will most likely be a little worse.

But even if the turret will collapse, it will be enough to save the human base. Material losses are bearable, but racial destruction cannot.

Bai Ze put away the construction blueprints of the Goblin Magic Cannon, praying in his heart that there would be no genius blacksmith in the Goblin race.

Although rare, it is true that there are some goblins from fantasy novels who have the ability to forge artifacts.

Putting away the construction map, Bai Ze checked the evolution requirements for the new skill.

【Evolution Requirements】

[Speed increase is not graded by level 3 -----------> level 4.] 】

[Soul Stone: 2/2]

【Do you want to upgrade your skills to the next level?】 】

Bai Ze did not hesitate and immediately evolved.

After a few seconds, the evolution is complete, and the speed increase skill is changed to level 4, and now passively gains 30 agility points.

Keep evolving.

[Speed Boost, Unrated Level 4------------>5]

[Soul Stone: 6/6]

【Do you want to upgrade your skills to the next level?】 】

...

[Speed Boost, Ungraded Level 5 ------------>Level 1]

[Soul Stone: 12/12]

[First Order Soul Stone: 2/2]

[Do you want to evolve your skills to the first level?] 】

Evolve!

[Skill speed increase successfully evolved to Level 1 of the first order.] 】

...

[1st Order Speed Increase by 1st ------------> 2nd Level]

[First Order Soul Stone: 2/2]

【Do you want to upgrade your skills to the next level?】 】

Evolve!

...

Bai Ze continued to evolve the skills he had just learned until his speed improvement skills reached the peak of the first order.

In the end, he had to stop evolving because, like some of his active skills, the speed increase required second-order soul stones as an evolution requirement, and although Bai Ze now had three second-order soul stones, he was definitely not willing to spend them now. They will only be used if there is no other choice, as they are still priceless at the moment.

Because of this, Bai Ze's blood control technique is still at the second order level. To evolve to the second order, he needed two second-order soul stones, and he was naturally unwilling.

When he went to the Otherworld to hunt second-order beings and complete the breakthrough task, Bai Ze would begin to evolve those skills. But for now, all his skills will remain the same, after all, there is no need to evolve them at the moment, and with his current strength, he can completely deal with all enemies!

Eventually, the Speed Boost skill reached its first peak.

[Speed Increase (1st Passive Skill) Level 5: Automatically increases the user's agility by 100 points and reduces physical consumption by 5% at the end of the battle.] 】

The 100-point agility increase is certainly eye-catching and powerful, but what attracts Bai Ze the most is the 5% decrease in physical strength after leaving the battle. While this secondary passive effect only works when not combat, it is great for long journeys and is likely to show great results in the future.
