Chapter 33: Sea of Blood Souls
In the blink of an eye, the butcher knife mark on his right forearm burst out with blood-colored light.
The qi and blood in the body then surged, and wisps of blood mist overflowed along the pores and converged towards the palms of the hands.
Handle, blade, tip...... The blood-colored butcher knife quickly condensed and formed in Su Nian's hand.
The length of the Killing Shadow is about one meter two, the handle is 30 centimeters long, condensed by atomized qi and blood, and when held in the hand, it spreads and shrinks as if it can breathe, the blade is thick and thick, the back of the knife curves with the blade, and there are two blood grooves and two rippled snake prints on both sides.
When you look at the knife horizontally in front of you, you can see wisps of harsh breath spewing out along the blade, like a poisonous snake, full of deterrence.
With a slight swing, the blade pierced the air with a sharp whistling sound.
Killing Shadow does not have a fixed equipment quality level evaluation in the skill introduction, and will follow the user's qi and blood strength to increase.
In other words, this is a growing weapon.
As for how to judge the strength of qi and blood, it is very easy to understand.
The strength of qi and blood can be understood as a part of physical fitness, and the stronger the physical fitness, the more vigorous the qi and blood in the body.
A strong body inevitably needs vigorous qi and blood to drive.
The two complement each other, and if the qi and blood are weak, they will fall into a state of weakness and will not be able to drive a strong physical movement.
Therefore, the two natal weapons, the Killing Shadow and the Life-Seeking Hook Scythe, only the stronger his physical fitness, the better the strength of the weapon.
After unlocking the Butcher's second skill, Su Nian did not stop, and immediately unlocked the Butcher's third skill, "Sea of Blood Souls".
The ember flames above his head burned violently after activating the skill, and ember energy continued to pour into his body.
His consciousness automatically entered the sea of consciousness, suspended above the endless golden ocean.
Knowing the sea can be understood as the spiritual world, and every drop of sea water here is the embodiment of spiritual power.
When the spiritual power is consumed, the sea will set off golden waves, and the sea water will drop significantly, and if the sea water in the sea is exhausted, it is easy to have the situation of ontological spiritual death.
Scanning the sea of knowledge, Su Nian found that there was a corpse resembling a wild boar floating on the golden sea.
If you look closely, this is exactly the curse dolphin he hunted in the Decaying World.
Consciousness focuses on the corpse of the cursed dolphin, and an analytical message emerges.
【Cursed Dolphin】:
Comprehensive strength evaluation: Blackstone three-star
Blood Soul Absorption Feedback: Physical Fitness +3, Mental Power +1
……
Seeing the analysis information, Su Nian was stunned.
He originally thought that hunting could only obtain blood values that could be used for the growth of the butcher sequence, but he didn't expect that hunting could also obtain an increase in attributes by absorbing the blood soul of flesh creatures.
Consciousness focused on the body of the cursed dolphin floating on the surface of the sea, and suddenly the body of the cursed dolphin began to disintegrate, revealing white bones.
Wisps of blood melted into the golden sea, and he suddenly felt a warm current rushing into his body, following the blood rushing through his body.
The process is slow.
I don't know how long it took, Su Nian was awakened by the camp prompt.
[Faction Hint (Shadow City): Dismantle the "Cursed Dolphin" Blood Soul to gain +3 Physical Fitness Enhancement and +1 Mental Power Enhancement. 】
With the sound of the camp prompt, Su Nian slowly opened his eyes.
At this point, he only felt refreshed, and the fatigue of exploring the decaying world was gone.
Slowly clenching the fist, the strength improvement brought by the strengthening of physical fitness is very obvious.
Brings up the properties panel, and the information on it has also changed.
【Su Nian (Human)】
Faction: Infernal City (Shadow City)
Satiety: 82 (Hungry below 50)
Ember Fire: 234322
Physical fitness: 11 (judged by the combined values of strength, physical strength, endurance, and explosiveness)
Mental Power: 8 (affects mental regeneration, cast speed, and spell strength)
Elemental Resistance: 0 (affects the final damage determination of Elemental Damage)
Extraordinary Talent: Butcher
Skill: None.
Comprehensive strength evaluation: Blackstone (two stars).
……
The change in attributes made his comprehensive strength evaluation come to the second star of Blackstone.
But Su Nian himself knew that his strength was more than that.
The two natal skills, Lifereel Scythe and Shadow of Kill, are not displayed on the personal panel of Purgatory City, and are not included in the overall strength evaluation of individuals.
There were still 234,000 Shadow Embers, and he felt that he could continue to strengthen them.
He has activated all three skills in the first stage of the butcher sequence, and if he wants to continue to activate the abilities in the second stage, he needs to upgrade the level of the butcher sequence.
The condition for activation is 10,000 blood, which can be replaced with Shadow Ember.
The ember flames above his head burned violently at this moment, and clouds of energy surged from within, pouring into his body.
The silent blood in the body is activated at this moment, like a rushing river flowing in the body, and the body temperature also rises rapidly, making a buzzing sound, like the sound of a tiger and a leopard.
Immediately after the body tightened, there was a sound of bones staggering in the body.
At this time, his body was like a volcano erupting violently, and a strong feeling of nausea surged into Su Nian's heart, he subconsciously opened his mouth, and suddenly a viscous and smelly liquid spit out of his mouth, falling to the ground and being melted by the temple's self-purification ability.
The process of the butcher's sequence advancement is like cutting hair and washing the marrow in the description of prehistoric civilization, and the body is reborn.
This process lasted for more than ten minutes before it ended, and as the body temperature dropped, the changes in the body faded like a tide.
[Faction Tip (Shadow City): Butcher Sequence Progression completed, gain Physical Fitness +10]
Sequence progression did not lead to a significant increase in physical fitness.
In this regard, Su Nian was not surprised.
The butcher sequence is clearly explained in the introduction and needs to grow through hunting.
It can be understood as hunting flesh and blood life and plundering its blood soul, and then decomposing it in the sea of blood soul consciousness to absorb growth nutrients.
As for the process of sequence upgrading, it is more like an expansion of the body's capacity.
So that he can carry more butcher abilities.
The nearly double increase in attributes also made Su Nian feel more relaxed than he had ever been, as if he could pull up several meters with a slight jump.
Summing up the title panel, the panel of the Butcher sequence has changed.
[Godhead Sequence 29 - Butcher (Lv2)]
Starting ability: Hunting Feast
The first stage of ability mastery: Life-Seeking Hook Scythe, Shadow of Killing, and Soul of the Sea of Blood.
Serial Upgrade: (0/100000 Blood Points)
Activating abilities in 2 phases:
【Body of Great Evil (Active Ability)】:
Ability introduction: The second stage of the Butcher's ability, after activation, greatly increases the strength of the flesh (strength, defense, elemental resistance, etc.), and the effect of all natal weapons is increased.
Tips: In the state of the Great Evil Body, it continues to consume qi and blood, and the maintenance time depends on the qi and blood in the body.
Activation Condition: 30,000 Blood
[Rage (Active Ability)]:
Ability introduction: After activation, it burns qi and blood, immunizes pain feedback, and greatly increases elemental resistance and movement speed.
Activation Condition: 20,000 blood.
……
There are only two abilities in the second phase of the Butcher Sequence, and the ember energy required to activate them is greatly increased.
The most important thing is that Su Nian discovered that among the second-stage abilities of the butcher actually had the transformation ability that he had longed for the most.
