Return to the villa at the end of Flower Street.

Li Changan hung his coat on the hanger at the entrance, rubbed his cheeks, made himself a cup of coffee, and sat down on the sofa in the dimly lit living room without the light.

Looking at the wisps of white smoke rising from the curl, I waited until the coffee cooled down, and took a small sip.

"Little Phantom, no one is following, right?"

"Meow~~"

In the shadows, a voice of affirmation came.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Phantom quietly appeared by Li Changan's side.

Three slender tails drooped gently over him.

"You say, what is Bai Chengjie's purpose for?"

Put your hand on the little one's back and stroke it along the hair.

"Meow?"

Little Phantom blinked his sapphire eyes and tilted his head.

I don't know.

Although, on the spiritual scale, it can see what Li Changan sees and hear what he can hear through the spiritual balance, but for this kind of complex problem, the little guy obviously doesn't usually think about it.

If you use your brain, leave it to Li Changan.

Seeing this, Li Changan only grinned and laughed a few times.

He didn't really want to ask something from Xiao Phantom's mouth, but because he had doubts in his heart, he subconsciously asked.

"'Shadow Yan', right?"

Li Changan asked again.

"Meow?"

Either?

After thinking for a moment with half-squinted eyes, Li Changan put his hand on its head.

"If there were really people from the 'Astronomical Society' around him, they would have helped him avoid the 'Shadow Evolution', so he couldn't get results. But that means I'm on the right track, just by starting with him and the people around him. ”

After a pause, he continued as if talking to himself and analytically:

"But if 'Yingyan' has a result, it can't be completely ruled out that the people around him have a 'Astronomical Society', but relatively speaking, the probability may be a little smaller."

Bai Chengjie is an ordinary person, not a spirit master.

Li Changan noticed this when he used his soul vision to sweep him in the previous ring.

However, when his identity reaches his level, it doesn't matter if he is an ordinary person or not.

He has the ability and financial resources to recruit a group of spirit masters to work for him.

Just like Li Changan.

"So.' Shadow Yan may not be able to get accurate results, but may be startled. Well, forget it. ”

Li Changan made a decision with a smile.

"Meow~~"

Xiao Phantom leaned on his stomach and stretched long on the sofa, noncommittal.

Since Li Changan said forget it, then forget it.

It's just that suddenly, its expression is slightly stiff as it stretches its waist.

"Meow!"

Someone is doing astrology and divination on them!

Hearing this, Li Changan's expression changed slightly, and while his smile converged for the first time, he adjusted the efficiency value of his "Shadow Yan" skill.

"Shadow Yan!"

The A-level proficiency that has been increased to 100 efficiency points has not stopped, but has been increased as much as possible.

Until Li Changan's forehead was dripping with sweat.

And Xiaoyu also used "Shadow Yan" for the first time.

A thick black mist surged from it.

Wrapped itself and Li Chang'an.

"Little Fantasy."

Li Changan suddenly seemed to think of something, and said quickly:

"Don't block it completely, let them see a little bit of what we want them to see."

As a free spirit master, being too "clean" is easy to arouse suspicion.

It is more reassuring to let the other person properly "see" something that is not very friendly.

"Meow!"

Hearing this, the little guy will understand.

Adjustments were made quickly.

This state lasted for a while.

After a while, Xiao Phantom whimpered a little tiredly.

The black fog closes.

Seeing this, Li Changan knew that the divination and calculation against them were over.

But his brow did not loosen.

"Do you have a rough estimate of the other party's ability?"

"Meow Meow"

Xiao Phantom hesitated, giving a vague guess.

Probably the fifth or sixth order of the restricted level?

X-rated?

With the "Shadow Yan" of A-class proficiency, coupled with the advantage that defense is easier than offense, Xiao Fantasy successfully avoided the opponent's divination against them, allowing the other party to see some of the content that Li Changan wanted to show them.

That is to say. The current limit of Xiaophantom can probably avoid astrology and divination similar to 'shadow Yan' below the danger level. If it's stronger, you may not be able to defend against it, but at least you should be able to detect it. If we can't even notice it, it might be catastrophic."

Li Changan has a general understanding of Xiao Huanxian's "defense" of divination skills.

Shadowing, astrology, divination, divination and other similar abilities, the advantage of the defending side is still relatively large.

Like before in the Misty Hut, Yang Xinyun's Heavy Pupil Silent Dog didn't even have such an ability, but he could also avoid "Shadow Yan" to a certain extent, just because they belonged to the defensive side.

"However, if you reach the level of danger and disaster, you won't care about small characters like us, and your attention should have been attracted by Fei Chengqing and them."

This is also the reason why Fei Chengqing relieved Li Changan to secretly enter Molong City and investigate from another angle.

They will attract the attention of the other party's upper echelons, while Li Changan needs to open the gap from the lower echelons.

To make the restricted level pay attention to him, it is already considered that the other party is cautious.

"We calmed down, but they were in a hurry first."

Li Changan suddenly laughed.

didn't need him and Xiao Phantom to carry out "shadow evolution", they exposed their identities first.

However, it is estimated that they didn't expect that Li Changan had an ink shadow three-tailed civet by his side, and he was still very good at the ink shadow three-tailed civet cat with similar skills.

After all, according to the normal description of the Phantom Cat in the illustrated book, there is no skill called "Shadow Yan".

As for the three-tailed civet cat of Ink Shadow, the records in the illustrated book are even more pitiful.

"Meow~~"

Little Phantom leaned on his lap.

Are you sure that there are people from the "Astronomical Society" in Bai Chengjie's group?

Li Changan shook his head.

"Not necessarily."

When he came to Molong City, the only people he came into contact with were Yongfu in the housing rental office and Bai Chengjie in the underground arena.

However, there is no guarantee that no one else in the Underground Arena will be interested in him.

So it's not entirely certain that it's Bai Chengjie and his people.

But their likelihood is the highest.

"Meow?"

Li Changan touched its head.

"Either way, it proves that we were going in the right direction from the beginning. Even if it weren't for Bai Chengjie and his people, there must be people from the 'Astronomical Society' in the underground arena. ”

As long as you follow this line and keep feeling down, you will always find them.

"Today's limelight is not in vain"

Li Changan finally relaxed completely, leaned on the sofa and stretched comfortably, and then fell into the soft sofa.

Once you've decided on the basics, it's much easier to investigate.

"Grown?"

When he got up the next morning, looking at Xiao Phantom, whose hair had become brighter, Li Changan's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.

"Meow?" (Huh?) ）

The little guy scratched his head, but he didn't notice the change in his own spirituality.

Negative level sixth.

The little guy quietly breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

Fortunately, I didn't catch up with the big wooden head.

Last night in the underground arena, Kuidou had grown to the fifth rank of the negative level.

It had grown to the sixth order of the negative level this morning, and it still had a gap of the first order.

"But you have to keep trying. During this time, it is estimated that Kuidou will participate in no fewer battles, and his growth rate will not be slow. Li Changan reminded.

"Meow!"

Xiao Phantom nodded seriously, his expression serious.

Seeing this, Li Changan hooked the corners of his mouth without a trace.

With Kui Dou training madmen chasing behind, Xiao Fantasy's consciousness is much stronger.

Well?

When reminding it, Li Changan suddenly noticed.

(Shadow Yan): 36

A night of effort.

The efficiency of the "Shadow" skill has been increased from 32 to 36.

Because yesterday's "defense"?

"In this way, I would like to deal with the people of the 'Astronomical Society' more, and if they come to astrology a few more times, maybe you will soon be able to train the 'Shadow Yan' to an A-level proficiency."

Hearing this, Xiao Fan rolled his eyes angrily.

"I'm kidding. Right now, the main focus is to raise the 'Shadow Claw' to an A-level proficiency. ”

Saying that, Li Changan simply washed up, and after solving the breakfast, he took the little guy with him.

"Gone."

"Meow?"

Where to?

"Make money, go and buy the 'Folding Black Branch', Kuidou's 'rooting' has also met the requirements, and then you need it to fight, and it can improve a little bit."

Oh.

Go out and go to the spiritual material market in Molong City again.

However, after going out this time, Li Changan could clearly feel that there were more than one pair of eyes secretly observing him.

He found out, but he didn't get rid of them all, but appropriately left a few more hidden ones for them to continue to follow.

There's no meaning to hide the little illusion.

Since someone divined him yesterday, Xiao Fan's existence can't be hidden.

Of course, it's the little phantom that exists as a "phantom cat", not the three-tailed civet cat of the ink shadow.

After walking around the spiritual material market, he sold the inferior spirit core of the Brute Force Cow for 3,000 yuan, and spent 32,000 to buy a negative-level eighth-order folding black branch.

I wanted to try to find a craftsman.

Let's see if we can make the spirit core and poison sac of the white-ringed red snake into a spirit beast instrument.

But either the asking price is too high, and it is better to buy one directly.

Either that, or something built that didn't meet his requirements.

In the end, it didn't work.

When he returned to Huawen Street, he returned to the villa.

All those vague sights are gone.

"What you should see and what you should know should be pretty much the same, right? If Bai Chengjie trusts me, then it is estimated that it will not be long before he will take the initiative to tell me his purpose. ”

Put away the little illusion, Li Changan summoned Kui Dou.

"Brackets?"

Kuidou, who was exercising himself on the scales with his fists clenched, suddenly appeared in the garden, slightly surprised.

It looked at Li Changan suspiciously.

I saw Li Changan take out a dark brown wooden stick with the thickness of his fingers.

"Brackets?"

Seeing the "Folding Black Branch", the movement on Kuidou's hand stopped, and instinctively told it that this thing was good for it.

"Kuidou, use 'weaving wood' to contain it in the body."

Li Changan didn't hold back its appetite and said.

Hearing this, Kui Dou showed a look of doubt.

Contained in the body?

Kuidou was stunned, but quickly complied.

After getting along for a period of time, its trust in Li Changan has become higher and higher.

As the slender wooden branches were separated from it, they wrapped around the "folded black branches" in Li Changan's hand.

Then, like weaving, little by little, it was contained and wrapped into his own wide body.

"Bracket-"

After the "folded black branch" enters the body.

Kuidou's body trembled violently, and then curled up uncontrollably.

It can clearly feel that under the weaving, separation, and reorganization of the "weaving wood", this "folding black branch" has brought a lot of changes to its body, especially those hidden roots.

"Kuidou, bear with it, just bear with it."

Li Changan stepped forward and grabbed its thick arm and whispered comfortingly.

"Bracket!!"

Kuidou frowned and nodded heavily.

Endure?

In its view, this is actually a training, a training for Li Changan's "unyielding heart".

Training, how can it be called forbearance?

That's enjoyment!

The enjoyment of growth and progress!

"Bracket!!"

With a low roar from Kuidou, the spirituality on its body suddenly burst out, and it quickly disappeared.

Kuidou looked puzzled.

He looked down at his palm, and then at Li Changan.

Is the training over?

It's also too fast.

Li Changan was dumbfounded.

He patted it on the arm again and said with a smile, "You try to take root again." ”

Take root?

Kuidou was about to show it, and was suddenly stunned for a moment.

I immediately realized that its "rooting" skills had changed.

gurgling –

The dark brown roots, which are similar in color to the "folded black branches", quickly spread out from its feet.

Soon it sank into the soil beneath its feet.

Immediately after, the body suddenly glowed with dots of green fluorescence.

It also had a comfortable look.

And in Li Chang'an's sight, its skills changed.

[Name]: Indomitable Dryad

[Endeavor]: 97

[Efficiency]: 101

(Wooden Armor): 25

(Root drawn): 27

(Origi): 30

(Indomitable Heart):

(Wooden Thorn): 19

After Kuidou's "Root" progressed to "Root Drain", the efficiency value increased from 25 to 27.

It was originally at 99 points, but the somewhat embarrassing overall efficiency value was increased to 101 points.

This means that as long as these efficiency values are all concentrated, Li Changan can finally adjust the proficiency of one of Kuidou's skills to A level.

Thoughts flickered.

Try it!

Immediately, the efficiency values of all of Kuidou's skills were adjusted to "Root Drain".

"Root Extraction" of A-level proficiency!

"Brackets?"

Kuidou looked surprised, it felt like it was

"Concentrate and see where you and the upper limit of this skill are."

Hearing this, it immediately sank down, and its expression became a little serious.

The next moment.

Li Changan noticed that while the green fluorescence rising from Kui Dou's body became more and more intense, the lush vegetation in the backyard withered, withered, and even dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He reached for a light green fluorescent.

Hold in the palm of your hand.

Suddenly I felt a cool feeling.

The products that these kuidou have absorbed can also heal other existences than it?

Does that mean that this skill can be used as a healing skill later?

Moreover, with the recovery ability that the roots of A-level proficiency are absorbed, if Kuito is bitten by the white-ringed red snake like yesterday, it is estimated that he will be able to recover in the blink of an eye.

The impact of toxins will be much smaller.

If it is paired with "indomitable heart".

That defense, survivability.

"Alright."

Li Changan shouted to stop it.

"Hiccup—"

Kuidou subconsciously burped and looked at the withered vegetation around him suspiciously.

These, is it done?

"How does it feel?"

feel

Kuidou blinked.

Very good!

It feels like it can do another 24 hours of intense training!

“.”

Today is another day of 1.2w, asking for a monthly pass~~
