Returning to the hotel, the companions who had worked hard all day went back to their rooms to rest, digesting the various gains and insights of the battle and blood sucking tonight.

Dean entered the bathroom and looked at the mirror on the sink, his muscles were clear, and his figure was slender and well-proportioned.

The Mirror Shield has just proved to be unexpectedly effective, and if a Level 3 melee capable person dares to launch a melee attack on him, he will immediately be counterattacked by carrying life energy.

Not long ago, the physique and strength attributes were just improved, which enhanced the foundation of life energy, and now the life energy burst at full strength can reach 25 tons of strength.

This means that a single counterattack by Dean Mirror Shield's specialty is enough to destroy the bodies of most attackers.

And Dean's current physical limit strength is 15 tons.

Mental power normal power 30 tons.

If the physical power, life energy, and telekinesis are superimposed and exploded at the same time, then Dean can burst out with 70 tons of extreme power at one time, which is not inferior to the phantom snake that chased him in the heart of the temple and beat him, and his size is only a few tenths of the phantom snake, and he is more flexible and hidden.

It's a humanoid monster!

Now fighting the Phantom Serpent again, Dean is sure to defend the other side.

……

Next.

Dean's gaze swept to the skill-mimesis, as a major improvement after the skill upgrade, the amount of blood required for the sample was greatly reduced, one drop was enough to copy, and just now he had a short fight with Seth and smashed the opponent's arm to obtain a blood sample.

Bang la blah.

The shower spews hazy water vapor.

The figure on the glass door of the bathroom began to shrink rapidly, turning from one meter eight to one meter seven five in the blink of an eye, with three-dimensional facial features on his cheeks, thick black hair and slightly curly hair, more massive and distinct muscles, and a black and gray revolver tattoo appeared on his chest.

Dean touched the newly grown beard on the side of his chin and looked at Seth Goko's face, which was exactly the same as that of a mature man.

If he and Seth were standing side by side, even their brother Ricky, who grew up together, would probably not be able to tell who was real and who was fake.

That's the power of simulated souls.

In addition, Dean noticed that in addition to his original 8 skills, there is also a temporary skill column on the system template, which contains the various abilities of the simulated snake demon Seth: snake scale armor, vampire self-healing, hibernation, licking memory, etc., all of which have no proficiency and are fixed at level 3, which is consistent with the simulacrum level.

"It used to take dozens of seconds to transform, but now it only takes five seconds, and there is no more terrifying physical pain."

Dean moved his nose, and suddenly smelled a complex smell of rust mixed with the strange smell of fruit coming from the vent of the guest room, which made people involuntarily tongue and thirst burning.

"The basilisk has a different sense of smell, and can sniff out more subtle differences in the blood to lock on to its target. But the lust for blood isn't as strong as I thought, maybe it's because I'm willed enough? ”

Dean opened and closed his mouth a few times, and the cheeks, forehead, smooth chest and abdomen skin grew pieces of black-brown scales, and the whole person became an ugly-looking humanoid viper, and two conical fangs popped out of the upper gums, and the fangs could be seen to be hollow and entrained with crystal liquid when you looked closely.

"Now that I have poison glands and fangs, can I pull them out and produce otherworldly materials on my own?"

As soon as he had the idea, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"No, forcibly pull out the poison glands and fangs, and it will take at least half a year to recover, and this simulation will be greatly damaged."

"If you become a queen, will you be more resilient?"

Thinking together, Dean immediately vetoed it, he rejected it from the bottom of his heart, and he never considered it.

Next, Dean's gaze turned to the strange object "Powerful Serpent" in the space, he still clearly remembered the Queen's words - as long as he swallowed this snake and fused with it, he could command all the snake demons, but he would also transform into a snake demon himself.

It is impossible for Dean's body to transform into a snake demon, but now he is in a simulated state, so he has no scruples.

Dean beckoned, and the powerful snake with fine black scales all over the length of his forearm appeared in the palm of his hand, erected his upper body and swam mechanically in the air, spitting out a slender forked snake letter.

Dean reversed it, aiming the snake's head at his face, his mouth open to the base of his ear.

The snake of power seemed to be attracted by some kind of strong attraction, and went straight to the big mouth of the black hole.

Whew.

Cold, stiff, swims through the mouth, and deep into the stomach.

Dean felt a suffocation and nausea, but before he could vomit, the cold writhing snake of power had already taken root in the flesh of his stomach, coiling in a slightly protruding bulge and falling asleep,

At the same time, wisps of liquid-like substantial life force radiated from the snake of power, surging along the stomach and transforming the simulated body from the inside out.

Dean's pitch-black vertical pupils stared into the mirror, reflecting a large area of strange light, surging out magnificent illusions—

The vast universe, the endless stars, the snakes crawling beneath you, the fragrant pool of flesh and blood.

Finally, when it came to the eyes, the pupils of the snake demon in the mirror disappeared.

Dean nodded in satisfaction,

"After combining with the Snake of Power, the snake demon will heal itself by sucking blood, licking memories, scale armor... All abilities are enhanced, but not beyond level 3 to level 4. ”

In addition, several new abilities have been added to the temporary skill slot: Spit Venom, Serpent Pardon, Snake Wings, Sea of Stars...

"Most of my abilities are weaker than my own abilities, so they are not very useful, and the only ones that are useful are the 'licking memory' that reads the target's memory through blood, the 'hibernation' that adapts to harsh environments such as vacuum and the deep sea, the sea of stars with unknown use, and the 'snake edict' that controls snake demons and humans..."

Dean opened his mouth again, and the sleeping serpent of power complied, burrowing out of his mouth, coiled between his fangs, and his black bean-like eyes sparkled.

In the mirror, snake scales, fangs, and human faces are reflected, and the black snake spits out of its mouth.

The image is grotesque and terrifying.

"Shadow" looked at his unfamiliar image with a new look in his eyes.

Dean didn't waver.

"As long as you bite the snake demon or a human with the snake of power, you can transform it into my servant."

"And when I'm going to eliminate this simulant, I can take out the Snake of Power and recycle it in advance."

The same time that the Serpent of Power came out of Dean's mouth—

Seth, Gonzalez, Queen of the Night, Scott, and Lena Five-Headed Snake Demons, who lived next door, all shook their bodies, and felt a kind of suppression and summoning from the depths of their blood, and turned to the room where Dean was in awe and fanatically, like a hound that had been domesticated by humans for a long time saw its master.

Dean's godly perspective noticed his companion's abnormality through the wall, and immediately swallowed the snake back into his stomach, and the five-headed snake demon returned to normal.

"What happened just now?" Aisha leaned against her towering chest in disbelief before realizing that it was Dean who was doing something to the Serpent of Power.

She bit her full lip, her face showed longing and unwillingness, with the snake of power, the queen is the real queen.

But thinking of her current situation, she shook her head and smiled,

"Be satisfied, freedom is already the best gift I've received in hundreds of years, and I couldn't ask for more."

……

On the other side, Seth returned to the bed with a palpitating face, unconsciously grabbed the small gold-patterned box on the bedside table, and fiddled with it, "I seem to have seen the phantom snake again just now." ”

"What a daydream, that thing was split in half by Dean." Ricky couldn't help but snatch the small box, looked at it carefully, rubbed his fingers, and looked like a Rubik's Cube, "Where did this come from, why do you get it every day?" ”

"Dean didn't give me a bunch of things to exchange for money, I kept this toy because it was quite chic," Seth laughed, "I can relax when I'm fine, but unfortunately I can't untie it." ”

"I'll try."

……

Dean flew out of the room with the body of the snake demon, came to a deserted outskirts, and experimented with the ability to spit venom and snake wings, the former corrosive poison made his eyes shine, and he could spray a distance of up to 100 meters, not only can corrode ordinary substances such as steel and stones, but also life energy and telekinesis can be slowly corroded, which is a powerful and unique short-range attack ability.

The snake wing ability is not very useful, and the flight speed is far less than telekinetic flight.

As for the Sea of Stars skill, Dean tried to bathe in starlight and moonlight, but unfortunately there was no reaction in the slightest, and there was no skill description, so this ability is currently useless.

Two hours later, after the experiment was completed, Dean entered Seth combined with the Snake of Power into the simulated slot, and 0/3 became 1/3, which could be re-transformed into an enhanced version of Seth at any time.

Looking at the skill description again, it is still lv3 (20/400), and the proficiency has not changed.

"The improvement is getting slower, I used to have 15 proficiency points a month, now I can have 10 points? If you don't add divinity points, it will take at least three years for the next promotion of the mimesma, which is too difficult, but it also shows the value of the mimesis. ”

Then Dean lifted the simulacrum, restored his body, sat back on the bed with his knees crossed, took out the damaged weapons and equipment in the space one by one, piled them up on the bed, rubbed them one by one, and the fingertip spray gun sprayed out platinum flames to scorch the weapons to remove impurities and repair and maintain.

And then that copper wheat penny, instilling the will.

……

The next period of time until the beginning of December.

The climate is getting colder.

Dean regularly sharpened the Alpha Wolf's fangs, repaired the transcendent weapons to restore them to perfect condition, and replenished fifty extraordinarily sharp arrows and twenty transformation arrows with the Basilisk material.

The Phantom Snake's feather cutaneous armor was also on the agenda, but the lack of a suitable adhesive to firmly glue the scales and feathers together, and the creation of the scale and feather armor could not be advanced for the time being.

During this time, he also took the Queen of the Night and her party to walk through the entire Ciudad Juarez, admiring the scenery of churches, bullrings, large markets, and museums, and by the way, searching for targets for traitors such as selling poisoned milk powder, and after nightfall, he tracked them to a suitable location, attacked, killed, and then destroyed the corpse.

The snake demon is a natural predator, and under the guidance of Dean's unreserved experience in killing and clearing the scene, he has made rapid progress, and in just half a month, he has learned to select and solve targets by himself, deal with traces at the scene, and become a professional assassin + scavenger.

In addition, the snake demons' control over bloodthirsty cravings has been greatly improved, and they can easily stop the process of drinking blood halfway.

Under the repeated abuse of Dean and the Queen, their combat effectiveness has also improved by leaps and bounds, with abundant self-healing power, as long as they protect the vital points, there is no pressure to take on a small team of gunmen alone.

The snake demons are improving, and Dean has also gained a lot, first of all, he has become proficient in the skyrocketing life energy, strength, and various characteristic abilities of the simulacrum snake demon's body in daily training, but the "Sea of Stars" is still clueless.

Secondly, "Shadow" purified a large number of criminals, and absorbed abundant soul essence to reach lv3 (135→185/400),

Capabilities have been improved:

Fighting LV4 (442→460/500)

Call of the Underworld Lv0 (8→23/100)

Red Dragon Meditation Lv3 (55→70/400)

Mimic LV3(20→25/300)

Phantasm Abyss Lv0 (70→85/100).

However, during this time, compared to the poisoned milk dealers, it was the strip club owners who suffered the most in the city.

In this kind of border city where the police are not very careful, the club more or less kills innocent and poor ladies and then dumps their bodies in the Desert of Ziziva, which touches Santanica's bottom line, and she and a group of companions clean up three strip clubs in the city in a row, killing all the men, leaving only the unconscious dancers.

The Heels Club in the southwest of the city.

Dean and a group of companions looked at the corpses strewn across the hall and shook their heads,

"Elsa, this is the last time, our actions have made the whole of Juarez chaotic, street shootouts have been cut in half, gang members have begun to look for the murderer who smashed the field everywhere, and they have to stop and ask a stranger for a long time."

Dean and his party had been stopped two or three times, but there was no doubt that every time they stood in the way, they cleanly killed them.

"I understand." Aisha nodded, "I've been willful for a while, but the dirty strip clubs in the city have almost been cleaned up, and that's the end of my actions." ”

"Let's go, everyone..."Seth looked at everyone with a complicated gaze, hooking Aiden and Ricky's shoulders, "Go back to dinner, drink, and go our separate ways after tomorrow!" ”

……

The RV drove to a pristine motel just outside Ciudad Juarez.

Grills and barbecue grills were set up in the yard, and between the charcoal fire and the iron skewers were flipped, skewers of beef, pork, chicken, green peppers, and onions were bubbling with oil, and the aroma of meat rose into the air with curling smoke.

A group of 9 people sat by the flower bed, drinking juice and beer, talking freely, and their faces were red after the "smoking" of fireworks and alcohol.

"Hmm... Although it was not the happiest time of my life, it was definitely the most memorable and I will benefit from it for the rest of my life. Seth squeezed a packet of yogurt sauce onto the skewers, took a big sip, hissed and narrowed his eyes, then looked at Dean gratefully, and picked up a Chico cocktail, "Man, I will never forget your guidance and help to our brother for the rest of my life, this cup is for you." ”

Dean picked up a jar of cactus juice and touched a glass, drank it all in one gulp, and patted Seth on the shoulder, "This guy seems to be unreliable, but he is actually very good at doing things, and he is a trustworthy companion." ”

Seth pursed his lips and smiled, "Vision!" By the way, Dean, I would like to ask, what are your plans with Lena after tomorrow? ”

As soon as Seth asked, everyone pricked up their ears.

During this time, Dean was tight-lipped about his movements and did not disclose them to anyone.

But this time, Dean met a pair of expectant eyes and thought, "Let's go back to Indiana and meet a group of my friends." What about you? ”

The Goko brothers looked at each other and smiled, "We'll stay in Mexico for a while, and then we'll sneak back to our hometown in rural Kansas to reunite with Uncle Sam, hide well, and when the wanted press passes, find some serious work to do, and kill a few criminals in our spare time to suck some blood." ”

"Elsa?"

The Queen of the Night smiled, took her beer, and looked at the stars in the sky, "There are too many evil basilistries in all of Mexico that have not been cleaned up, countless sisters who have been kidnapped and persecuted need to be saved, and I also want to see this wonderful world that has been separated for hundreds of years. So I'm going to go and save my sisters in various cities in Chichhua first, and then go to the United States, and go to New York, Chicago and other big cities to see different scenery. ”

"I'll miss you." Lena reluctantly took one of the queen's hands, "Contact me as soon as you enter the United States, and I will take you back to your hometown." ”

The queen smiled and nodded, "We have an appointment." ”

"You're going to be the Basilisk Superwoman?" Katie's eyes lit up with admiration, and she said, "If only I could be as chic as you." ”

"It's easy, we'll just bite you and inject venom," Seth smiled evilly, "You'll be Supergirl, too!" ”

Katie turned pale and shook her head.

"Don't even think about it!" Scott glared at Seth fiercely,

"Jokes, don't take it seriously, what about your brother and sister?"

"Take Dad back to his hometown." Scott said without thinking, his face full of longing for a new life, "Katie and I are going to rent a house to continue through the twelfth grade, and maybe go to college in the future." ”

"Then I wish you both good luck in your studies." Gonzalez patted the Asian boy's chest, "Be a man in the future and protect your sister well, but be a low-key person and don't bully your classmates with superpowers." ”

"I will keep in mind the teachings of everyone during this time and abide by the principle of selecting prey." Scott looked at the crowd with a precious gaze, "What about you, officer?" ”

"I'm almost at the end of my vacation, and I'm going back to work as a patrol officer, using fangs and claws to try criminals, and fill my stomach by the way." Gonzalez glanced at the Goko brothers, "You two don't do those illegal and criminal acts again, I will never spare you if you are caught again." ”

This time Seth shrugged, and it was rare that he didn't talk back, but raised his glass, "Your Excellency Patrolman, thank you for your great mercy and spare my life, this cup is for you!" ”

"Aiden, what about you?" Dean looked at the professor one last time,

The professor took a sip of his beer, suddenly looked at Ricky, and exchanged a tacit look, "Actually, I have a proposal, our team should not be disbanded and cut off contact, it would be too wasteful of the tacit understanding cultivated during this time." ”

"Because of your so-called supernatural convergence law, you can't stay together for long, but you can form a loose mutual aid organization."

"In addition to keeping the other party's identity secret, there are not too many restrictions, and even if you are in a different place in the future, whoever needs help can also contribute money and efforts."

"I have dabbled in all kinds of myths, legends and history, and I know many experts and professors, and you can ask me about supernatural things."

The professor gave this suggestion as soon as it was spoken.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Can't agree anymore!" The Goko brothers are like after countless rehearsals, "The two of us still have a bit of a relationship in the Texas underworld, who needs to get a fake passport, driver's license... Buy guns and ammunition, get some contraband, and leave it to me! ”

"I agree!" Sister Katie raised her hands excitedly,

"I'm a bit of a relationship in the American police world," Gonzalez straightened his cowboy hat, "and if any of you get into trouble in the future, if it's not some big crime, I'll be happy to make it easier." If I die one day due to various accidents, I hope that you can help take care of my wife and daughter at home. ”

"No problem at all." The queen smiled, lowered her pretty face and sighed, "I'm very happy to lend a helping hand to people with the same idea, but it's a pity that I'm just an old woman who has been locked up for hundreds of years, with no money and no power..."

"Your Majesty, don't be modest, you can easily handle the four of us newcomers alone, and you have the power that we will never be able to reach." Ricky began to tout,

"Speaking of strength, how can I compare to this," the queen looked at Dean through her long eyelashes, everyone looked at him, and everyone knew that only Dean nodded This so-called mutual aid organization can succeed,

Dean's gaze slowly swept over the expectant faces, and then at Lena and Ying beside him

With a casual move, he took out a large backpack half a person tall from the space.

Open and rummage, put away a large number of fake certificates and fake passports that the Goko brothers handled for themselves some time ago, and then brush and brush-

A large bag of beautiful knives with a strong smell of ink was spread out in front of everyone, filled with 7.5 million knives that the Goko brothers exchanged for bonds.

Dean took out eight bags and divided one by hand.

Dean said, "Half a million dollars per person as start-up capital." ”

"Gollum," the youngest Scott looked straight in the eye, "no kidding, why did you give us your money?" ”

"When we entered the temple together, I never intended to take this money alone. What's more, now you need money to buy blood bags and live. After Dean divided the four million, he also took three and a half million, plus the original deposit and the harvest of the criminals during this time, the deposit in the space exceeded four and two million.

"I can't take it." Gonzalez righteously refused.

"Don't be pretentious." Seth took out a bundle of American knives and sniffed in front of his nose, and then he and Ricky took out a bunch of brand-new BP machines prepared in advance in the bag behind them, "Guys, one for each person, with all the numbers and a few secret safe houses in Kansas, let's keep in touch in the future." ”

"Then you're welcome." The queen smiled like a beast, collected the money and the BP machine, and toasted everyone with a glass of wine.

The remaining few exchanged a look and made a move.

"Come on, everyone, have a toast and celebrate the establishment of this unreliable mutual aid society!"

"Kis-"

Wine glasses and juice cans collide, splashes of liquid pulling out crystalline colors in mid-air.

"Looks like there's something missing!" Katie flushed into the RV and took out an acoustic guitar, and then sat on the stool by the campfire in the expectant eyes of everyone, her snow-white fingertips pinched the pick and strummed the strings, and her red lips opened lightly:

People say that life is always full of sunshine

But as far back as I can remember, we've always just wandered like wild beasts

The seasons change, and we do the same

……

In the sweet and graceful singing, everyone listened attentively and smiled, and Seth unconsciously took out the golden Rubik's Cube from his suit pocket and fiddled with it.

"Listen to the song..."Santanica snatched Seth's Rubik's cube and stared at it, as if attracted by some quality, unconsciously rubbing the tip of her right index finger along the golden sun-like pattern in the center of one of the sides, and the clock-like pattern of the sun's four corners.

One lap, two laps.

The music is melodious.

Three laps...

Click.

The Rubik's Cube suddenly made a crunch and began to deform rapidly.
