"Bracket-"

Kuidou groaned in comfort, and the spirituality in its body once again swelled and expanded, and at the same time, it also gained another growth.

This is the seventh day after Li Changan and the others entered this swamp.

While searching for the location and location recorded in the black leather manual, he also searched for the spirit beast of the rotten vine.

Spirit beasts like the Rotten Vine were originally very difficult to capture in the swamp.

They are like swamp scavengers.

Because they inhabit the deep and dark underground all year round, they have a strong recovery ability, and rarely take the initiative to attack some living spirit beasts, most of them choose to "pick up" corpses.

So the rotten vine, which was originally quite comfortable and safe in the swamp, has ushered in its "natural enemy" this time.

In the past seven days, Li Changan and the others were thirsty for rotting vines to grasp.

And.

In fact, if you want to roughly lock the location of the rotten vines, it is actually very simple, just use the corpses of wild spirit beasts to "fish".

With the corpse of a spirit beast like a mire wrist crocodile, as long as there are rotten vines in that area, there is a high probability that the rotten vines can also be lured out.

Therefore, in seven days, Li Changan and the others dealt with a total of five disaster-level rotten vines and four dangerous-level corrupt vines, allowing Kui Dou to obtain an extremely large amount of energy and spirituality of the "elemental-plant" attribute at once.

It also made Kuidou's strength a huge boost.

As the energy in the body of this calamity-level third-order rotten vine was completely absorbed by Kui Dou through the "Tree God Scepter", the full body gradually dried up until only a thin layer of skin and spirit core remained.

"Almost."

Glancing at Kui Dou, who was in excellent spirits, Li Changan nodded quietly and said.

Having absorbed so much Rotten Vine energy, Kuidou had almost reached the limit of his "resistance" to this energy.

Just like taking medicine, no matter how good the medicine is, if you take too much medicine, you will have resistance to the medicine.

Kuidou's energy absorption of the Rotten Vine also leads to the lower the efficiency of the conversion as it continues to absorb.

Now, the Rotten Vine is just like an ordinary spirit beast, it can only provide Kuidou with the energy to restore himself, but not to enhance his spiritual energy.

However, absorbing so many has made Kuidou's strength a huge boost.

The current Kuidou has reached the seventh order of the danger level!

From the fourth order of the danger level to the seventh order of the danger level, it has grown three levels!

And in just seven days.

You must know that the Black Fang, who had just completed its growth before, was now only at the eighth order of the danger level.

Kuidou is about to catch up with it.

This progress and growth rate made Black Fang and Xiao Phantom a little red-eyed.

But I'm happy for it from the bottom of my heart.

The stronger Kui Dou is, the more qualified they are to challenge those truly strong spirit beasts, and Kui Dou's defense is their greatest confidence to challenge beyond the level.

Of course, seven days to improve the third order is not all good for Kuidou.

That is to say, Kui Dou is the one who trains the hardest, and the foundation and foundation are solid enough, so that Li Changan can rest assured that it has improved so much at once.

Even if Kuidou's energy and spiritual resistance to the Rotten Vines didn't develop, he planned to stop when Kuidou reached the seventh order of the danger level.

Now it's just right.

Li Changan, who was standing beside Kui Dou with a cane, gently patted its strong arm and looked up.

[Name]: Ancient beech tree

[Endeavor]: 99

[Efficiency]: 642

(Beech shield armor): 86

(Root draw): 94

(Evolutionary wood): 97

(The Heart of Yu Zhi): 2

(Thorn Thorn): 77

(Luxuriant Explosives): 73

(Nature's Language):

(Defensive Command): 71

(Crazy Growth): 59

(wood strengthened): 56

(Breath of the Forest): 29

Kuidou's skill efficiency value has been steadily improved when they stayed in Booms City before, and after more than half a month of fighting after entering Booms Forest, they have also gained a lot of practice and use opportunities.

Training and practice make the improvement of skill proficiency very stable.

Today, the efficiency values of Kuidou's two skills, "Evolution Wood" and "Root Drain", have reached 90 points or higher.

It shows that for these two skills, as long as Kuidou works hard, he can reach the A-level proficiency under the normal state, which is a huge improvement in its actual combat ability.

After reaching the seventh order of the danger level, it means that Kuidou has officially launched an attack towards the disaster level.

"Meow~~"

Xiao Phantom jumped and handed the spirit core of the rotten vine to Li Changan.

Look at it.

[Name]: The six-tailed civet of the temple

[Endeavor]: 74

[Efficiency]: 868

(Ink Shadow): 105

(Shadow Law): 100

(Shadowclaw): 141

(Shadow Escape): 103

(Mo Yan): 108

(Touch of Shadows): 91

(Ink marks): 84

(Phantom Pupil): 83

(Dianjun): 27

(Shadow Spell): 26

Fantasy's skill list and skill efficiency values are also presented in his sight.

Among them, the five skills of "Ink Shadow", "Shadow Law", "Shadow Claw", "Shadow Escape", and "Mo Yan" have all reached the A-level proficiency under normal conditions, and Xiao Yu's comprehensive strength is already very impressive even without Li Changan's adjustment.

Moreover, Xiao Fantasy's overall skill efficiency value has reached 868 points, which is less than 150 points away from the 1,000-point mark.

This made Li Changan faintly have greater expectations.

When the efficiency value of a skill reaches 500 points, it represents a skill with proficiency level such as S.

What if a skill's efficiency value reaches 1000?

What kind of posture will it take?

Is it a stronger S-class proficiency, or is it

He estimated that in three months at most, Xiao Yu's overall efficiency value should be more than 1,000 points.

At that time, you will be able to try out what it will look like if you have reached a skill of 1,000 efficiency points.

And in the past few days when Kuidou's spirituality has soared, Xiao Phantom has not improved at all.

It has also now reached the sixth level of danger level.

So far.

Li Changan's three spirit beasts, after a month and a half of training and fighting, reached the strength of the sixth, seventh, and eighth orders of the danger level respectively.

"Thank you."

He took the spirit core handed by Xiao Phantom and rubbed its head with a smile.

Take out a map of the Booms Forest.

Now they are in a danger zone that is not mapped.

However, after their exploration these days, Li Changan himself filled in the blank space on the map.

While they were looking for a location and searching for the rotten vines, they had actually encountered several very dangerous situations.

In the swamp, there are crown-level spirit beasts.

There were two of them alone.

Fortunately.

These crown-level spirit beasts didn't take much interest in them, and they didn't pursue them.

But these places are not easy to get close to for the time being.

"There are still these areas that have not been explored, and according to the coordinates and path planning, they should roughly be within this range."

Li Changan drew a circle on the map.

In fact, not having a map is not the most troublesome, and it is not troublesome to be sure of the spirit beasts that are active in it, what really makes Li Changan feel helpless is that he does not know what they will encounter, see or gain after arriving at the place.

The black leather manual simply provides a location, a coordinate.

No relevant information was provided at all.

Neither said what you would encounter, nor what you would gain, not even a little vague outline.

If they get to the place, but the black leather manual says it's underground, in the swamp, it's the most speechless.

There is not even a basis for letting Xiao Fantasy carry out "Mo Yan".

"Meow?"

"No way, just walk over and see. If you really get close and you don't realize it, then there is no way, it means that you have no chance with us. ”

Li Changan also saw it.

But.

It turns out.

Some things, in fact, are just that he thinks too much.

Because when they actually got close to the location provided by the black leather manual, they could still see at a glance what the coordinates were marking, or the building.

Far away.

Li Chang'an, who was standing on Kuidou's fifteen-meter-high shoulder blade, passed through the increasingly hazy miasma through the "analytical monocle", and saw a huge and dilapidated castle about eight or nine hundred meters away.

Castle?

In this muddy swamp?

Let's be honest.

Li Changan imagined that he might encounter something very distinctive.

But I really didn't expect to see such an ancient castle that was obviously built by humans in such an inaccessible swamp.

There are two possibilities.

One is that hundreds or thousands of years ago, someone ran into this inaccessible dangerous forest and spent a lot of experience, resources, manpower and material resources to build such an ancient castle.

The other is that before this area was covered by forests and swamps, there were people who lived here, but for some special reasons, it was finally completely covered by forests and occupied by wild spirit animals.

Regarding these two possibilities, Li Changan feels that the probability of the latter is a little greater.

So here's the problem.

Why did the people who once lived here abandon the castle and end up making it part of a dangerous swamp in the Booms Forest?

It's obviously hard to figure out.

But anyway.

The coordinates provided by the black leather manual can finally be completely determined.

This castle is undoubtedly it!

As for saying.

What they will see or encounter in the castle, and what they will gain, you have to go in and see to find out.

But there is one thing Li Changan can be sure of.

Such an ancient castle standing in a dangerous swamp will definitely not stand so empty for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is estimated that there will be spirit beasts occupying it.

And it may be one or a group of very powerful spirit beasts.

"Kuidou."

At Li Changan's signal, Kui Dou's figure quickly shrank.

The black fog that enveloped them slowly converged.

It is the shadow of the small illusion that allows them to move freely in the swamp.

"Determine the location, and that'll be easy."
