Dean swept a large amount of text in front of his eyes—

XP +230, personal level lv6 (610→840/900).

Depending on your completion, you can choose from two special rewards, one of which is significantly increased and the other is a premium reward:

A. Specialty - Snake Demon: The servant of the Phantom Snake, after the transformation, the strength, physique, and agility are increased by 25%, and special abilities such as bloodsucking self-healing and scaly skin are obtained, in addition, special venom glands grow in the body, and each complete venom will be transformed into a new snake demon.

Venom restores slowly after being consumed.

But becoming a snake demon will give you more vital points (seven inches) and produce bloodthirsty impulses.

It can evolve by sucking the blood of powerful creatures.

B. Specialty - Phantom Snake: Consume your collection of strange objects "Powerful Serpent" and transform into a new life form, the Illusory Snake, the son of the stars of the wandering race in the universe.

The Phantasmal Snake is adept at creating illusions, spitting venom, and transforming servants at all levels, and has an innate defensive force field, strong environmental adaptability, and some ability to predict the future.

The Phantom Serpent is able to absorb the power of faith of the faithful and condense the divinity, which gradually strengthens over the years.

Phantasmal snakes devour the flesh and blood of intelligent creatures and devour their souls.

When you choose this specialty, you will increase all your stats by 30%.

Note: This option is a 200% boost.

Note: This specialty conflicts with Iron Man, and if you choose this specialty, your appearance will change dramatically and irreversibly.

C. Superpower - Illusion Impact v0: Deeply explore the flaws in the target's mind, create a corresponding illusion cage based on the nightmares of the past and the fear of the future, and torture and severely damage the target's mind.

If the target is unable to break free from the illusion, the illusion will continue to draw on its psychic power, turning the pain of nothingness into real damage.

Increasing this ability increases willpower and spirit slightly.

Note: Willpower and spirit are required to be no less than 20.

D. In view of the high degree of matching between the "Abyss" and "Phantom Impact" you mastered, the system will assist you in combining the two superpowers into one to give birth to a new ability, the Phantom Abyss Lv0:

You can use your will to create absolute darkness in the area, causing the target to spontaneously stare at your eyes as the only light source and accept your soul test, and if your will is lower than you, you will follow your will and fall into a state of absence, coma, soul detachment, or even soul breakdown.

Or create an illusion in the area and put the target to a more complex, brutal, and lengthy mental test... The effect is related to the will and mood of the target.

The two modes share a cooldown of 24 hours.

Increasing this ability will slightly increase the will and mental attributes.

E. 2 free attribute points

F. Divinity 1 point (from the Blood Sacrifice Gang's centuries-old worship of the Phantom Serpent)

……

Call... Suck...

"There is actually a divine reward, which is worthy of high difficulty."

After browsing, Dean locked the F option for the first time, 1 point of divinity.

God's performance greatly improves a certain superpower, and expands the ability slot, which must not be missed.

The second option, Dean, first excludes A's ordinary snake demon and E's free attribute points, as for B's son of the stars, the description is very tempting, and choosing B's Dean's strength will most likely be directly increased to the strength of the senior-level realm.

Breathe deeply.

Dean ruled out B with great perseverance.

He has not yet decided not to be a man, but to be a monster with a snake head and a human blood.

As for C and D, C needs to occupy a new ability slot, and the effect coincides with the abyss part, so it is not cost-effective to choose, while D ability fusion will enhance the original potential and does not consume the slot.

"Select D, F."

You gain a little divinity.

Abyss Lv0 (90/100) is transformed into Illusion Abyss Lv0 (70/100).

……

Consume divinity to continue to enhance the shadow?

This idea was decisively rejected by Dean, he couldn't always put his eggs in one basket, and this time he should carefully choose other abilities to strengthen.

Finally, Dean examined his attributes:

Character Level: Lv6 (840/900)

Physique: 19.8→21.8

Power: 18.5→19.5

Sensitivity: 18.5→19

Perception: 17.5→18.5

Spirit: 22.8

Will: 22.6→23.1.

Skill Slot Position: 8/8

Fighting lv4 (342→442/500).

Shoot Lv5 (2/700)

Shadow Lv3 (126/400)

Red Dragon Meditation Lv3 (52→55/400)

Imitation lv2 (40/300)

Abyss Lv0 (70/100)

Call of the Underworld Lv0 (7/100)

Fantasy Space Lv1: The next expansion requires 30 Spirit

Specialties: Iron Man (Intermediate), Supernatural Hunter (Intermediate), Cursed Body, Mirror Shield, Omen, Forge Master

System Capabilities: Omitted

Event: 70% bloodline

Retention: 1 divinity, 0.5 freedom attributes.

……

"It's almost there, it's not far from breaking through 20 points with all attributes. Wait, where does this 0.5 free attribute come from? ”

Dean didn't remember where he got the attributes, so he immediately searched for various hints in the system, and soon found a record - the process of melting the venom and gastric juice in the phantom snake's body made you feel a trace of despair and pain, and the specialty of the cursed body absorbed the negative emotions in your heart and transformed them into 0.5 free attributes.

"I see, this deprecated specialty actually took effect. This is called the end of not killing me will make me stronger, and half of the attribute will be put together with the divinity point first. ”

"This trip to the temple, the total attribute has been improved by more than 5 points, and the shooting has also reached lv5, after actual combat testing, the new characteristics are weakened and accurately coordinated, and the skin is rough and thick, and the lethality is amazing, but the speed is ordinary The tough monster is also very suitable for my title of supernatural hunter."

Dean nodded with satisfaction, and counted the precious materials harvested in the space: hundreds of ordinary snake demon fangs, venom glands, and even phantom snake scales, feathers, and venom glands.

"The fangs of the snake demon, if not quenched, can be made into arrows of extraordinary sharpness."

"The combination of fangs and poison glands can create new special arrows, in addition to the Demon Breaking Arrow and the Poison Arrow, the Transformation Arrow?"

A strange scene flashed through Dean's mind, an arrow hit the target, and instead of dying immediately, the other party got up again and became a snake demon with agility and bloodsucking?

"No, to put it another way, the Transformation Arrow is obviously not used to kill people, but to save dying companions, or to create chaos, and to use them in some special scenes."

And the venom glands in Dean's hands can easily create hundreds of snake demons, create an army of monsters, and then use the snake of power to dominate them?

So just by thinking about it, he can quickly disrupt a city of tens of thousands of people.

But there is a question, if this is done, a large number of supernatural creatures gather, will the law of convergence immediately send meteorites from the sky to sanction them?

……

"As for the venom and fangs of the Phantom Snake, they are too rare, so we should preserve them well and then plan later... Feather cuticles are used to create a pair of scales that fit snugly. ”

Even if there was no protective force field, Dean bombarded the snake demon's body indiscriminately for a long time, and his companions helped him break through the snake demon's body from outside, which shows how powerful the protective performance of these scales is.

"Start building tomorrow, and by the way, repair my old fellows." Di An'an looked at the extraordinary weapons in the space painfully, the venom of the phantom snake in this battle corroded them very badly, most of them were dull, and some were even damaged, and I am afraid that they will not be able to use them in a short time.

"By the way, there is also a copper wheat penny in the space that killed the mushroom head before, and it will take time to study it."

Dean thought so, he suddenly heard a little movement, and his gaze returned to reality, the outline of a town appeared in front of him, and Aiden had already driven to Juarez.

……

Next, everyone checked into a remote hotel in the southeast of the city.

After arranging the room.

Shadow monitors everyone's movements and accompanies Reena by the way, while Dean takes a shower, meditates and falls asleep in his room to relieve his mental fatigue.

I slept from dawn to two o'clock in the afternoon.

Dean enjoyed a long-lost ordinary night's sleep when he was awakened by a knock on the door, and he opened it.

The woman was standing outside the door, her cheekbones slightly protruding with light makeup on her cheeks, her complexion had improved a bit, and she was wearing a new blue denim suit, and at first glance, she looked as radiant as she had been in the photos of ten years ago.

"Dean, you've grown so big."

The woman opened her arms and hugged Dean tightly with trembling bodies, her voice choked and tears welling up in her eyes.

Withered straw-like black hair swept across Dean's cheeks, exuding a rich scent of shampoo and a faint smell of blood that could not be concealed,

"Shadow" quietly melted into Dean's body, and they opened their hands and hugged back with all their strength, "Finally found you, Mom..."

……

In the hotel room, the lazy afternoon sun shines through the cracks in the windows, illuminating the people sitting opposite each other on the sofa.

The woman's eyes looked at Dean on the other side with gentle and happy eyes, and she didn't even dare to blink her eyes, for fear that the other party would suddenly disappear.

His mental outlook is completely different from the quiet and timid when his husband and wife left nine years ago, confident, calm, handsome, full of a trusting temperament, and manhood.

Compared with the son in my memory, it is simply two people.

Dean is also observing women, perhaps because she has become a snake demon, she has not aged at all over the years, but her cheeks are thin and out of shape.

In addition, I don't know if it's because the will attribute is too high, Dean finally reunited with his long-lost relatives, but his heart was not too moved, only a faint warmth and a sense of accomplishment in finding the goal.

"I just graduated from high school in Las Vegas this year, and then I went back to Indiana Hawkins over the summer to live in Uncle Paqui's new house."

"Paqui's dashing temperament also knows how to save money to buy a house," the woman looked relieved and puzzled, "Does he earn money as a bodyguard?" ”

"I supported him partially. Well, the bodyguard job was too dangerous, so I asked him to retire this year and get a job at an outdoor store in Hawkinstown. Now he has no worries about clothes, and he is about to get engaged to the teacher in the town center..."

Hearing that her brother is so happy, Lena is sincerely happy, and then she feels a sour nose and distress, what kind of training does Dean have to go through to help her relatives buy a house at a young age?

She grabbed Dean's right hand and wrapped it in her palm, "We're not here, you must have suffered a lot over the years, right?" ”

"It's all gone." Dean smiled and shook his head, "Aren't our families about to be reunited?" ”

"Yes." Lena nodded, then asked, "How did you find out about my whereabouts?" ”

"Speaking from Hawkins, I learned in town through Jane Seymour's son, Peter, that you were connected to a woman named Tyree Ives."

Lena's eyes flashed with her long-haired friend who was undergoing a special experiment together, "Is Tyree okay?" ”

"There are good and bad. When she broke into the Hawkins lab to try to rescue you, she failed in her operation, was caught and tortured by the lab, and suffered a little brain damage, unable to walk or communicate with people normally. ”

Dean recalled,

"But then I got her daughter Jane out of the lab and reunited them to live in Hawkins. Jane and her aunt took good care of Tyre, and her body began to slowly recover. ”

"Tyree and her daughter are reunited!" Hearing the news, Lena smiled in surprise, "Child, I would like to say thank you for my old friend." ”

"Family, what else do you say thank you." Dean continued, "Jane gave me the news of another child in the lab, Carly 8, and I left Hawkins and went to Faraille to find her. ”

Lena said excitedly, "Carly? Are you referring to the girl of Indian descent who escaped from the lab with us in '78 and lived in Farayeh for another year? ”

"Yes, after you and the light disappeared, she still lives in Farayah, asking for news of you... Don't worry, she's doing well, she's in good health, she's made great progress in her illusion skills, and she's made a few good friends. ”

"She told me that you had a premonition of mortal danger, and that you had tried to foresee it, that you had seen Santanica, the Queen of the Night, heard her call, and went all the way to the border between the United States and Mexico for help. When I got the news, I supported her with a sum of money to live in Illinois. ”

"Then I came all the way down the southwest."

"You're working miracles along the way," Lena touched his face distressedly, although Dean said it so lightly, but this is across half of the United States, she can imagine the difficulties and dangers encountered by the other party along the way, "When did your father Guangguang disappear?" ”

"Not long after you left Farayeh." Dean omitted the story of Midian, the Monster Paradise, and said lightly, "But I've got some eyebrows at the moment, and I found out that he went somewhere to the north." We superpowers are prone to getting involved in all sorts of extraordinary incidents, and he's having similar troubles, and when we settle this matter, I'm going to go to him next. ”

Dean has never stopped searching for Lu Guangming in the "dark area of his mind", because of the mysterious power, he can't find the specific location, and he can't see the detailed picture, but he can feel that he is in good condition.

Lena squeezed Dean's hand and sighed, "But what about your superpowers?" ”

"You and Bright haven't undergone human experiments in the Hawkins Laboratory, and probably invisibly affected me in my belly, giving me certain qualities... As I grew older, my traits gradually accumulated, and just last year, near May, there was a qualitative change, and I awakened my superpowers. Dean explained half-truthfully, reaching out his hand.

Lena suddenly felt a lightness under her, and an invisible force lifted her off the sofa and sat firmly in midair.

"It's... Motivation ... That's enough, Dean, let me down. Lena was proud and pleased with her loved one's growth, then frowned worriedly, "I know the feeling of having power is intoxicating, but in reality awakening is not a good thing, it unexpectedly brings together the law of convergence for life, which means that the unexpected can come at any time. I hope you are just an ordinary person, living a healthy and happy life as an ordinary person. ”

"Now that we are worried, we should work harder to face the present, rather than worrying about the dangers of the future. Actually, my ability level is not bad, enough to protect myself. Dean flicked his fingers again, poof, red and silver flashed, and more than a dozen fist-sized fireballs, ice balls, and electric balls drilled out of the void and swirled around the top of his head, forming a dazzling circle of light, illuminating the shock on Lena's face,

Just by watching, a woman can feel the devastating power contained in these balls of energy.

"You've just awakened for a year, how can you be so powerful?"

"Maybe I'm talented, but my superpowers have helped me through a lot of difficulties." Dean changed the subject and said with a smile, "It's my turn to ask, weren't you looking for Santanica asylum in the first place?" How did you become a snake demon, she forced you? ”

"No, Santanica is a lady worthy of respect," Lena explained with a grateful face, "More than two years ago, on the day I arrived at the Rulang Bar, I happened to bump into the Blood Sacrifice, and the basilisk closed the door and began to bloody the guests in the bar. Santanica transformed me into a basilisk to protect me, and then, under the protection of the temple and the phantasmagoric serpent, the Convergence Law never came to her door again. But again, I couldn't take a step out of the temple. ”

Dean was silent for a second when he heard this, exchanged glances with the shadow beside Lena, and asked tactfully, "Does the bar hold a blood festival every month?" ”

"Yes, but I've never been there, so I can't do it." Lena sighed, "Santanica understood me and protected me by claiming that I was her maid and couldn't do this dirty work. But she actually treated me like a sister, and never treated me harshly, but often talked to me about her heart, such as the sadness, pain, and longing for freedom of the past few hundred years. ”

Lena looked Dean in the eye very seriously, "Santanica is a good person. ”

Dean heard Shadow's long sigh of relief, and he let go of his hanging heart, and at the same time, his impression of the Queen of the Night was greatly improved.

Just imagine, if the mother of this body is an unprincipled demon who kills innocents indiscriminately, it is contrary to the principles they have adhered to in the past, and he does not know how to deal with it.

As for some of the details, he doesn't intend to delve into them.

Otherwise, there are no innocents.

"Then how did you get into the heart of the temple?"

"Life in the temple is boring, I think about you and the light every day, and in April and May last year, the premonition ability exploded without warning, showing me a terrible picture." Lena paused, her eyes widened and almost bulged out, and her cheeks turned blue with fear, "I saw you hanging yourself in the bedroom of the old house, in front of the photo of our family of three!" ”

Dean's pupils narrowed subtly, and the identical face of the shadow next to him showed an extremely complicated expression.

This hunch is too accurate (Chapter 1 plot).

"You're mistaken, haven't I lived a good life?"

"Hmm. What I see is only a possibility, which is clearly not happening in our world. But I didn't know it at the time, I was very worried... I told myself that I was going to leave the temple right away to make sure. Lena grabbed Dean by the hand, "Santanica instructed me not to leave until I saw the Phantasmagoral Serpent being forgiven by Him, and I fled underground with a few survivors on a Blood Sacrifice Day. ”

A hint of fear flashed in Lena's eyes,

"We've encountered countless Canaanites who have torn up the corpses of the human horses and sent me to the heart of the temple as a reserve for the Phantom Serpent."

"Stockpiles?"

"Whenever He was not satisfied with the Blood Sacrifice, he would eat some basilimen as punishment."

Dean was glad he had arrived at the right time, and then shook Lena's hand with Shadow, "The temple has sunk into the ground, and the Phantom Serpent has turned into loess with its disgusting accomplices, so you don't have to worry about it from now on." ”

"Hmm." Lena wiped her tears and looked at Dean's face with a loving smile, "How did you do that?" I have the impression that the Phantom Serpent is as powerful as the gods, almost invincible. ”

"No, the Phantom Serpent is far from being a god, but it is greedier and crueler than the gods, and it is too arrogant, so it is going to perdition," Dean suddenly glanced out of the door, and a group of people from the Goco brothers and the Queen of the Night were sitting in the courtyard chatting, "Don't make everyone wait for a long time, let's go, let's talk about the next plan together." ”

(End of chapter)
