Chapter 22: Potential

The roar of the explosion echoed through the valley.

The smoke slowly cleared.

Alan squinted.

The basilisk had been blown up and its flesh was blurred, and most of its scales had fallen off.

The abdominal wound was particularly severe, with a two-foot-long gap.

Through the blood, the wriggling internal organs were faintly visible.

The sound of explosions echoed over the valley.

Mr. Hunt was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came back to his senses.

Grab your hunting bow and shoot three arrows in one go!

As a junior warlock apprentice, he also has the ability to press the bottom of the box.

This hand of "Wind and Arrows" condenses a lifetime of cultivation!

Three arrows, two of which hit the basilisk's body without the protection of its scales, plunged deep into the flesh.

The basilisk shook its head and tail in pain.

He turned around and tried to escape.

The corners of Alan's lips curled with cruelty.

At this moment, it was as if he had returned to the world of meditation.

Become a murderous ogre chieftain.

Footsteps move quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it blocked the basilisk's retreat.

Extract 8 mana points in one go, which can be used to activate the Bone Penetrating Strength.

Fight to end the battle in less than a minute!

A mad basilisk tormented by wounds.

Seeing a teenager standing in front of him, he spat poisonous gas without thinking.

Taking advantage of the fact that the boy's vision was obscured by the poisonous black smoke, the basilisk twisted its body and pounced on it.

Sharp fangs, dripping venom.

The tried-and-true hunting routine didn't work this time.

The basilisk spewed out a mouthful of poisonous gas.

looked around blankly, and was shocked to find that the young man on the opposite side had disappeared.

"Idiot! Where are you looking? ”

Alan sneered and appeared behind the basilisk, stomped on the snake's tail, and unleashed a ferocious hook punch.

Boom!

At the moment when the basilisk turned around.

A fist the size of a casserole, whistling and smashing into its face.

Immediately, blood splattered, and flesh and bones were shattered.

The fist containing "penetrating bone strength" directly smashed the basilisk's facial bones.

The face is sunken inward, and it looks both funny and terrifying.

However, the basilisk was quite strong, and he didn't die from such a serious injury.

Struggling to try to fight back.

Hound pace!

Allen's figure flickered and disappeared in place.

Unless there is too much difference in agility stats between friend and foe.

Otherwise, the "hound's pace" can always turn the other party around.

After a perfect dodge, Eren strikes hard again!

Bang bang bang!!

A series of dull, dense thuds echoed through the valley.

The basilisk was punched several times in a row, and finally couldn't hold it anymore.

Alan made up for it at the end.

With a click, the monster's neck was kicked off!

The fleshy head was tilted to the side.

The thick and long body of the snake twitched and twisted into a ball.

It didn't take long for it to stiffen.

Alan kicked two more times.

After confirming that the basilisk was dead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Robin ran over and glanced at the basilisk's corpse, then turned to look at Allen, his eyes full of shock and adoration.

"Allen...... No, my dear brother! You're awesome! ”

"From today onwards, you are my Robin's idol!"

Mr. Hunt came over with a hunting bow, also with a look of astonishment.

He had heard from his son that Alan was a student of Ms. Sora, and that he was also studying martial arts with Instructor Carter.

However, I never expected that this teenager would be so powerful.

Almost single-handedly, kill the ferocious basilisk!

Alan wiped his sweat, turned to Mr. Hunt and said:

"The flesh and blood of the basilisk must be taken out while it is fresh."

"I'm going to be busy for a while."

"The vigilance around is up to you and Robin."

"You are busy with yours, and other trivial matters are wrapped up on our father and son!"

Unconsciously Mr. Hunter used honorifics on Alan.

After settling everything, Alan pulled out his dagger and slit open the basilisk's belly.

Follow the instructions of the system to remove the venom glands, heart and snake gall bladder.

The venom glands are the organs of the basilisk that secrete toxins.

Eren can absorb Level 3 toxins from them, which can be used to increase his poison resistance.

The level 3 toxin is really fierce.

Alan just took a sip.

The poison resistance bar has increased by a large margin.

Just upgraded to level 3 poison resistance!

There is also an unexpected bonus.

It was his "fierce poisonous bloodline", and his purity was increased to 2%.

This is already considered an inferior qualification.

In the future, it is possible to awaken the bloodline talent of the "Venom Warlock"!

As for the heart and snake gall bladder, they are the special ingredients that he has in mind.

The freshest ingredients only require the simplest dishes.

Alan directly stuffed the snake heart and snake gall into his mouth, and swallowed it raw!

As a warlock apprentice who has awakened the ogre bloodline, it is normal to eat raw meat.

The texture of the snake heart is crispy.

Snake gall is a little bitter.

But the bitter has a charm and depth.

Alan felt like a gentleman of his own.

Licking the snake blood on his fingers, Alan was still unsatisfied.

But don't be busy eating snake meat just yet.

Open the system page.

The original blank Peculiar Ingredients Illustrated Book has two new icons with annotations.

……

Basilisk's Heart: +1 Physique, +1 Potential.

Basilisk's Bile: +1 Agility and +1 Potency after consumption.

……

Now, Alan's stats become:

Physique 17, agility 16, spirit 18.

There are two more valuable potentials.

What exactly is the use of potential?

Finally, it's time to uncover the mystery.

Alan couldn't help but be a little excited.

……

System Prompt: Spending potential points can promote the purification, fusion, and evolution of bloodlines or skills.

……

There is only such a short one-sentence explanation.

The connotation is very rich.

Purify, fuse and evolve.

Of these three options, the one that seems to be the most compelling is "evolution".

Alan wants to use his potential to evolve his bloodline.

However, the feedback from the system poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

"At present, the prerequisites for bloodline evolution are not met!"

A detailed explanation is given later.

Allen's ogre bloodline has two main evolutionary routes.

Route A.

Evolved from an ordinary ogre to a high-level ogre, also known as an "ogre wizard".

The ogre wizard not only retains the strong physique of the ogre, but also has strong mental power and is good at casting spells!

However, in order to follow this evolutionary route, three conditions must be met:

First, spiritual attributes≥18.

Second, the purity of the Ogre or its variant bloodline ≥ 7%.

Third, be proficient in at least one 2-ring spell!

Alan couldn't laugh or cry.

Now he meets only the first condition.

As for the latter two, it is unrealistic to look at them.

The evolution route of the ogre wizard cannot be counted on for the time being.

There is also a B route that can evolve into the Hill Giant Bloodline.

Hill Giants, a weaker subclass of the Orthodox Giants.

Taller and stronger than the ogre, but unfortunately he also has no talent for spellcasting.

The advantage of taking this evolutionary route is that you can expand your bloodline to the orthodox giant race.

In the future, there will be a chance to obtain a higher-grade giant bloodline.

Such as Stone Giant, Frost Giant, Fire Giant, Cloud Giant, Storm Giant......

This evolutionary path is very clear, and the benefits are even greater in the long run.

However, the problem is that the evolutionary threshold of route B is not low.
