After the second break in the physique, Lu Yuan's teeth are so hard that even steel can be chewed and chewed, let alone a small vine.

Lu Yuan tore off a piece of golden vine and chewed it out with a "crunch" sound in his mouth.

To be honest, the texture is very poor, like chewing a piece of rubber skin that is cold, hard, jerky and tasteless.

But in the process, the evil god factor contained in the golden vine was like an unscrewed faucet, frantically pouring into his body along Lu Yuan's throat.

"Boom—"

Lu Yuan's chest cavity seemed to suddenly give birth to a storm, the five internal organs glowed, the flesh and bones vibrate, and the sound of thunder continued.

The blood cells in the chest grew rapidly in this storm of evil god factors.

This is the ultimate pleasure of growth!

However.

After a brief surge, the surging influx of evil god factors came to an abrupt halt.

“tu——”

Lu Yuan spit out the residue of the golden vines chewed in his mouth, and he could no longer feel any remnants of the evil god factor in it, and even the original golden color of the vines was gone, showing a light gray wood.

It's like.

A piece of sugar cane after being chewed.

"Click-"

Lu Yuan spit out the residue and continued to bite down on a piece of golden vine and eat it in his mouth.

In fact, he can absorb the evil god factor in the vine without "eating", but the efficiency is too low compared to chewing, so Lu Yuan simply adopts such a barbaric and vulgar way.

Lu Yuan ate the golden vines one bite at a time, and the blood cells in his body continued to grow rapidly

Lu Yuan was still very careful, in order to avoid being caught by the chip and light brain in his body of "chewing" strange things, he specially used his mental power to wrap and shield both before eating.

When Lu Yuan ate about one-third of the golden vines in his hand, the power of the blood cells in his body seemed to have accumulated to a certain extent.

"Boom!"

"Click-"

A series of bone roars sounded all over Lu Yuan's body, and the whole person's body seemed to become more symmetrical and slender, and the aura emanating from his body seemed to be more restrained.

Dexterity +1.

The evil god factor contained in one-third of the golden vines naturally increased Lu Yuan's agility attribute by 1 point, from the original 28 to 29 points, and there was only one step left before the 30-point limit was broken.

Lu Yuan still has 6 useless attribute points in his hand, if he wants to, he can now break through the two attributes of strength and agility to break through the second limit realm.

But now that he's in the Ember Mountain, there's a lot of materials to upgrade, so he's not in a hurry to use up these stat points.

"After breaking the limit for the second time, it takes 3 attribute points to increase 1 attribute point. The cost is getting bigger and bigger."

Lu Yuan thought and bit off a piece of golden vine.

glanced at Lan Chen, who was searching for armor fragments in the distance, and suddenly thought of it.

"How did this golden vine-like curiosity come to be?"

I guess everyone involved in this exploration will be curious about this.

There may be none of the people who know the answer.

Lu Yuan looked at the golden vines that still had most of them left in his hand, his eyes flashed, and he gently launched against the vines-

[Occult Scholar (Extraordinary)] Skill Skill: Lv1 [Mystic Perception]!

[Mystical Perception] has a chance to obtain hidden information from an object that cannot be detected by ordinary means, and Lu Yuan feels that he may be able to get some different clues based on this.

Accompanied by the activation of Lv1 [Mystic Perception].

Lu Yuan's mind immediately flooded with some vague and messy information.

This information gradually pieced together a series of staccato images under his mental combing.

In the picture, Lu Yuan seems to see a faint wisp of golden red falling from mid-air, landing on a vine, and then quickly blending in.

The originally ordinary vines, under the influence of mysterious golden-red smoke, gradually evolved into extraordinary, until they grew to their current appearance.

"What is that golden-red substance that looks like smoke, fog, and light?

Is it related to the immortal bird? ”

Lu Yuan guessed in his heart while silently "eating" most of the remaining golden vines.

The evil god factor in the entire golden vine entered his stomach, and the blood cells in Lu Yuan's body expanded in a large circle, and the thickness also increased to nearly twice as much as before.

The surge of blood cells caused the qi and blood in his body to surge, and although the attribute value on the attribute panel did not change again, Lu Yuan felt that it was not far from the next natural increase in attributes.

"Lv7 [Martial Arts Grandmaster (Extraordinary)] is also about to upgrade to lv8, it's really an out-and-out upgrade treasure."

Lu Yuan exhaled lightly, there was nothing to do, and then watched Lan Chen clean up the battlefield.

Lan Chen had already collected all the third-order armor fragments scattered around at this time, but he still refused to leave, and actually ran to the two Far Star Federation men lying on the ground, and secretly picked up the armor fragments that had not peeled off on their bodies.

When Lu Yuan saw Lan Chen pulling the crotch guard and leg guards of a man from the Far Star Federation, the latter's eyes were tightly closed, and his face twitched slightly.

Lu Yuan's previous shot was very measured, most of the power was vented on the exoskeleton armor of the two people, and the remaining strength only injured and stunned the two of them, not to death.

It seemed that the two of them had woken up at this time.

Lan Chen, who was immersed in the joy of "harvesting", didn't seem to notice this at all.

He stripped the two of them of all the exoskeleton armor components that could be torn off, and then ran back with a lot of things in his hands.

“ok！”

Lan Chen rushed to the road with a "done" gesture, and then added: "You wait a while, I'll call a drone to send things back. Besides, this stuff is pretty heavy."

“.”

Lu Yuan was silent for a while, and couldn't help but say to Lan Chen: "Wouldn't this be a little too much?" ”

Lan Chen waved his hand indifferently, "What is excessive?" They've done more extreme things to us bears before, and I'll charge some interest at most."

Lu Yuan looked at Lan Chen with a look of incomprehension, and guessed that he might have suffered a big loss at the hands of the Far Star Federation explorers.

It is estimated that the friction and conflict between the members of the major organizations in the secret realm is also a "turn a blind eye" attitude.

Otherwise, Lan Chen would not be so fearless.

Waiting for the arrival of the drone summoned by Lan Chen, Lan Chen asked Lu Yuan if he wanted to continue to explore further.

Lu Yuan's answer is naturally yes.

After a little hesitation, Lan Chen brought back the collected exoskeleton armor fragments and components to the drone, and decided to go with Lu Yuan.

If it was before, Lan Chen would definitely choose to turn back at this time, and first pocket the harvest in hand.

But now that Lu Yuan, the "rookie" he originally wanted to bring, suddenly turned into a master who could blast the hammer with his bare hands and the third-order combat power, he naturally wanted to seize this excellent opportunity to be able to hug his thighs.

The two of them left the growing point of the golden vine and continued to walk a little further.

On the way, he encountered two ancient evil god creatures, but his strength was average, and the evil god factor contained in the flesh and blood essence was far inferior to the golden vines, and even those ancient evil god creatures that Lu Yuan encountered in the Elephant Mysterious Realm were not comparable.

If you think about it carefully, the remaining living creatures in the Elephant Mystery Realm have all been screened by the Elephant Human Race and the Elephant God's will, and it is normal for the average strength to be strong.

The two of them had walked about fifteen kilometers until they stopped in front of a forest stream.

The dense primeval forest here leaks a beam of heavenly light, dyeing the entire stream a fresh and translucent orange-red, and there are finger-long whitebait swimming in the water, which is very beautiful.

Lu Yuan looked at the map of Ember Mountain, and saw that with this creek as the dividing line, there was a "misty area" ahead.

It means an area shrouded in the fog of war, where there is hardly any exploration, and everything is unknown.

"Do you want to continue?"

Lu Yuan turned his head and asked Lan Chen.

Lan Chen's expression was entangled, and finally he gritted his teeth, and said in a resolute tone: "Follow a paragraph, I'll follow another paragraph." ”

"Okay."

Lu Yuan didn't say anything, and the identities of "old man and newcomer", "master and rookie", "leader and led" between the two were quite natural.

Lu Yuan was preparing to take Lan Chen across the creek and officially step into the "Fog Zone".

That's when it happened

"Goo!"

A strange birdsong suddenly came from my ears.

Lu Yuan suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a faint orange shadow, he barely hesitated, kicked his feet violently, and the whole person shot towards the location where the orange shadow flashed like a swimming dragon.

Lan Chen, who was standing beside Lu Yuan, didn't react, and as soon as he turned his head, Lu Yuan was about to jump out of sight.

Lan Chen "wiped" on his mouth, and hurriedly urged the exoskeleton to catch up.

"Goo!"

"Goo!"

Lu Yuan's ears kept ringing with bursts of bird calls.

His body was like the wind, and his speed had already been stretched to the extreme, breaking through the sound barrier, leaving behind one after another waves of spreading white qi in the jungle, and even pulling out a blurred afterimage.

However, he was never able to catch up with the ethereal and somewhat pleasant birdsong.

The bird's call flickered from far and near, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right.

Lu Yuan chased for a while, and finally chose to give up.

When he stopped, the bird's call disappeared completely.

"It's the call of a hoopoe bird"

Lu Yuan stood on a mossy boulder, his eyes flashing, but his face was very calm.

He didn't know why he had suddenly chosen to chase the bird's call.

On a whim? Or is it subconscious instinct?

Anyway, after this chase, it was certain that the hoopoe bird that made the sound was definitely the one he saw at the entrance to the forest when he entered.

"There's something weird about this bird, and it seems to be leading me in a certain direction, intentionally or unintentionally."

"The point is that I can't even catch up with it, how can an ordinary bird have such speed?"

Lu Yuan once again remembered the pattern of the hoopoe bird that he had obtained through [Chaos Divination].

Although the hoopoe bird is a symbol of "luck", this is only his own interpretation of the results of divination.

Who knows what the results of divination really mean.

It's as if he divined the four-word proverb "Born to death", and he still hasn't figured out what it means.

"I always feel like as soon as I enter the secret realm of Ember Mountain, I am targeted by something."

"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing"

Lu Yuan thought in his heart, just in case, he made up his mind that he would never accept any guidance from the "hoopoe bird" in the future.

It wants to lead the way in a certain direction, but it doesn't go in which direction to see how it responds.

Just as he was thinking, a blue streamer burst out of the forest.

Lu Yuan hadn't figured out how to explain to Lan Chen the "convulsion" behavior just now, but he saw that Lan Chen was full of excitement and excitement on his face at this time, and looked at him with bright eyes and hurriedly said, "Strange thing!"

Lu Yuan, I just found a suspicious strange object on the way to chase you!

It's even stronger than the previous one!

We're out of luck. It's so good to be home! ”

Again?!

When Lu Yuan heard Lan Chen's words, he didn't feel surprised, but his brows furrowed.

This is a proper conspiracy.

This thing. Definitely there is a problem!

Lu Yuan's heart was horizontal, and he was about to say something that he couldn't say to Lan Chen.

suddenly

He saw Lan Chen trembling in front of him.

Lan Chen's eyes stared straight at a certain direction behind Lu Yuan, as if he had seen something extremely remarkable, and he even became trembling when he spoke.

"A long way to go"

Lan Chen raised a hand with a strange expression, and nodded faintly, "Look at that." ”

Lu Yuan turned his head, and when he saw clearly what Lan Chen was pointing behind him, his pupils contracted instantly, and the whole person fell into a huge shock.
