A large piece of text passed before Dean's eyes——
Experience value +230, personal level lv6 (610→840/900).
Based on completion, you can choose two special rewards, one of which is greatly improved and the other is a high-level reward:
A. Specialty - Snake Demon: A follower of the phantom snake. After transformation, the strength, body, and agility are increased by 25%, and special abilities such as blood-sucking self-healing and scaly skin are obtained. In addition, special poison glands are grown in the body to store and transform. Venom, each complete venom will transform a new snake demon.
After the venom is consumed, it will slowly recover.
But becoming a snake demon will give you extra vital points (seven inches) and produce bloodthirsty impulses.
Can evolve by sucking the blood of powerful creatures.
B. Specialty - Illusion Snake: Consume the "Snake of Power", a rare item in your collection, and transform it into a brand new life form, the son of the stars of the wandering race in the universe, the Illusion Snake.
Illusion Snake is good at creating illusions, spitting venom, and transforming servants of all levels. It has a natural defensive field, strong environmental adaptability, and some ability to predict the future.
The phantom snake can absorb the power of faith of devout believers, condense divinity, and gradually strengthen over time.
The phantom snake loves to eat the flesh of intelligent creatures and devour their souls.
After selecting this feat, all your attributes will be increased by 30%.
Note: This option significantly increases the reward by 200%.
Note: This feat conflicts with Iron Man. If you choose this feat, your appearance will undergo irreversible changes.
C. Super power - 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, to torture and severely damage the target's mind.
If the target cannot escape from the illusion, the illusion will continue to absorb its spiritual power and turn the nihilistic pain into real harm.
Improve this ability, will and spirit will be slightly improved.
Note: Willpower and spirit are required to be no less than 20.
D. Since the "Abyss" and "Illusion Impact" you master are highly matched, the system will help you combine the two superpowers into one and give birth to a new ability - Illusion Abyss lv0:
You can use your will to create absolute darkness in the area, allowing the target to spontaneously stare into your eyes, the only source of light, and accept the test of your soul. If your will is lower than yours, it will follow your will and fall into trance, coma, soul separation, or even soul. crash state.
Or create an illusion in the area and subject the target to a more complex, cruel, and lengthy spiritual test... The effect is related to the target's will and emotion.
Both modes share a cooldown time of 24 hours.
Improving this ability will slightly increase the will and mental attributes.
E. 2 free attribute points
F. 1 point of divinity (from the blood sacrifice gang’s hundreds of years of worship of the phantom snake)
…
breathe…
"There are actually divine rewards. It deserves to be considered a high level of difficulty."
After browsing, Dean immediately locked option F, 1 point of divinity.
Divine power can greatly improve a certain superpower and expand the ability field, so you must not miss it.
In the second option, Dean first excludes A's ordinary snake demon and E's free attribute points. As for B's Star Son, the description is very tempting. Choosing B, Dean's strength will most likely be directly upgraded to the strength of the senior level field.
Take a deep breath.
Dean eliminated B with great perseverance.
He has not yet decided not to be a human being, but to be a monster with a human head and a snake body that drinks human blood.
As for C and D, C needs to occupy a new ability slot, and the effect partially overlaps with the abyss. It is not cost-effective to choose it, while D ability fusion will enhance the original potential and does not consume the slot.
"Choose D, F."
You gain a bit of divinity.
Abyss lv0 (90/100) is transformed into Fantasy Abyss lv0 (70/100).
…
Consume divinity to continue to improve your shadow?
With this idea, Dean firmly rejected it. You can't always put your eggs in one basket. This time, you should carefully consider choosing other abilities to strengthen.
Finally, Dean checked his attributes:

Feats: Iron Man (Intermediate), Supernatural Hunter (Intermediate), Cursed Body, Mirror Shield, Omen, Blacksmith
System capabilities: slightly
Event: 70% Bloodline
Retention: 1 divinity, 0.5 free attributes.
…
"It's almost here. We're not far from breaking through 20 points in all attributes. Wait, where does this 0.5 free attribute come from?"
Dean couldn't remember where he got the attributes, so he immediately searched various prompts in the system and quickly found a record - the process of merging the venom and gastric juice in the phantom snake's body, making you feel a bit of despair and pain, specializing in curses The body absorbs your inner negative emotions and converts them into 0.5 free attributes.
"So that's it, this abandoned expertise actually took effect. This means that what can't kill me will eventually make me stronger. Any attribute points should be put together with the divinity points."
"In this trip to the temple, the total attributes have been improved by more than 5 points, and the shooting has reached level 5. After actual combat testing, the new characteristics of perception, weakening and coordination are accurate. They are designed to defeat powerful monsters with thick skin, amazing lethality, but average speed. It also fits my title of supernatural hunter very well.”
Dean nodded with satisfaction, and then counted the precious materials harvested in the space: hundreds of ordinary snake demon fangs and venom glands, and even the scales, feathers, and venom glands of the phantom snake.
"If the fangs of the snake demon are not quenched with poison, they can be made into arrows with extraordinary sharpness."
"The combination of fangs and poison glands can create new special arrows. In addition to demon-breaking arrows and poison arrows-transformation arrows?"
A strange scene flashed through Dean's mind. An arrow hit the vital part of the target. Instead of dying immediately, the target got up again and turned into a snake demon with agility and blood-sucking regeneration?
"No, let's think about it differently. Transformation arrows are obviously not used to kill people, but to save dying companions, create chaos, and are used 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 snakes of power to control them?
So just thinking, he can quickly disrupt a city of tens of thousands of people.
But there is a question. If you do this and a large number of supernatural creatures gather, will the Law of Convergence immediately drop meteorites from the sky to punish them?
…
"As for the venom and fangs of the phantom snake, they are too rare. Please preserve them first and then make plans later... The feather scales are used to create a pair of close-fitting scales."
Even without a protective force field, Dean still bombarded the snake demon's body for a long time. With the help of his companions from outside, it was possible to break open the snake demon's body. This shows how powerful the protective properties of these scales and feathers are.
"Start building tomorrow, and take care of and repair my old guys." Dean looked at the extraordinary weapons in the space with distress. In this battle, the venom of the phantom snake corroded them very much, and most of them had a dull luster. Some of them had a dull luster. It may even be damaged and may not be usable in a short period of time.
"By the way, there is also a copper wheat penny in the space that killed Mushroom Head before. We need to spend time studying it."
As Dean thought, he suddenly heard some movement and his eyes returned to reality. The outline of a town appeared in front of him. Aiden had already driven to Juarez.
…
Next, everyone successfully checked into a remote hotel in the southeast of the city.
After arranging the room.
Shadow was responsible for monitoring everyone's actions and accompanying Lena. Dean took a bath in the room, meditated and then fell asleep to relieve mental fatigue.
I slept from dawn to two o'clock in the afternoon.
Dean enjoyed a long-lost ordinary sleep, and then a knock on the door woke him up, and he opened the door.
The woman was standing outside the door. She had light makeup on her cheeks with slightly protruding cheekbones, and her complexion had improved a bit. She was wearing a new blue denim suit. At a glance, her appearance was as radiant as the photo taken ten years ago.
"Dean, you've grown so big."
The woman opened her arms and hugged Dean tightly, trembling all over. Her voice was choked and tears welled up in her eyes.
Withered straw-like black hair brushed across Dean's face, exuding a strong scent of shampoo and a faint scent of blood that could not be concealed.
"Shadow" quietly blended into Dean's body. They opened their hands and hugged back with all their strength, "I finally found you, Mom..."
…
In the hotel room, the lazy afternoon sunlight shines through the cracks in the window, illuminating the people sitting opposite each other on the sofa.
The woman looked at Dean across from him with gentle and joyful eyes, not even daring to blink for fear that the other person would suddenly disappear.
His mental outlook is completely different from the quiet and timid one he had when the couple left nine years ago. He is confident, calm, handsome, and full of a trustworthy temperament and masculinity.
Compared with the son in his memory, he is simply a different person.
Dean was also observing women, perhaps because she became a snake demon. She hadn't aged at all over the years, but her cheeks had become thinner.
In addition, I don’t know if it was due to the high will attribute. Dean finally reunited with his long-lost relatives, but he was not very moved. He only felt a touch of warmth and a sense of accomplishment in finding his goal.
"I just graduated from high school in Las Vegas this year, and then I went back to Hawkins, Indiana, during the summer and moved into Uncle Paqui's new house."
"Paqui's dashing temperament also knows how to save money to buy a house," the woman said with a look of relief and confusion on her face, "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 Hawkins. Now he has no worries about clothes and is about to get engaged to a teacher in the town center. …”
Hearing that her brother was so happy, Lena was sincerely happy, but then felt a sense of soreness and heartache. What kind of training would Dean have to go through to help his relatives buy a house at a young age?
She took Dean's right hand and wrapped it in her palm, "You must have suffered a lot over the years since we were away, right?"
"It's all over." Dean smiled and shook his head, "Isn't our family about to be reunited?"
"Yes." Lena nodded and asked, "How did you find out about my whereabouts?"
"Let's start with Hawkins. I learned about your connection with a woman named Terry Ives through Jane Seymour's son Peter in town."
Lena's eyes immediately flashed before her eyes, her dark blond haired friend who had undergone special experiments together, "Is Terry okay?"
"It's both good and bad. When she broke into Hawkins Laboratory to rescue you, she failed. She was caught and tortured by the laboratory. Her brain was slightly damaged and she couldn't walk or behave normally. comminicate."
Dean recalled saying,
"But then I rescued her daughter Jane from the laboratory and reunited mother and daughter to live together in Hawkins. Jane and her aunt took good care of Terry, and her body began to slowly recover."
"Terry and her daughter are reunited!" After hearing the news, Lena showed a surprised smile, "My child, I want to say thank you to you on behalf of my old friend."
"As a family, how can I say thank you?" Dean continued, "Jane provided me with information about another child in the laboratory, No. 8 Carly, and then I left Hawkins and went to Faraye to find her."
Lena said excitedly, "Carly? You mean the Indian girl who escaped from the laboratory with us in 1978 and lived in Faraye for another year?"
"Yes, after you and Guangming disappeared, she still lived in Faraye and inquired about you... Don't worry, she is living a good life, in good health, her illusion ability has also made great progress, and she has made some good friends."
"She told me that you had a premonition of fatal danger. While you were constantly trying to foresee it, you met Rulang Bar and Santanica, Queen of the Night, heard her call, and then went all the way to the US-Mexico border to seek help. I got the news Later, he supported her with a sum of money and allowed her to live in Illinois."
"Then I searched all the way southwest."
"You are simply creating miracles along the way," Lena touched his face distressedly. Although Dean said it so lightly, it spanned half of the United States. She could imagine what the other party encountered along the way. Difficulties and dangers, "When did your father Guangming disappear?"
"Not long after you left Faraye." Dean ignored the story of Midian, the monster paradise, and said lightly, "But I already have some clues and found out that he went somewhere in the north. Those of us with super powers can easily get involved. He was involved in all kinds of extraordinary events, and he also encountered similar troubles. Once we resolve the matter here, my next step will be to find him."
Dean never stopped searching for Lu Guangming in the "dark area of his mind". Because of the mysterious force blocking him, he couldn't find the specific location or see the detailed picture, but he could feel that he was in good condition.
Lena held Dean's hand tightly and sighed, "But what about your super power?"
"Have you and Guangming been subjected to human experiments in the Hawkins Laboratory? It probably also affected me invisibly in the belly, giving me certain traits... As I grow older, the traits gradually accumulate, and it happened near May last year. Qualitative change, I awakened my superpower." Dean explained half-seriously and stretched out his hand.
Lena suddenly felt a light weight on her body, and an invisible force lifted her off the sofa and sat firmly in the air.
"This is... telekinesis... that's enough, Dean, put me down." Lena was first proud and pleased with the growth of her relatives, and then frowned worriedly, "I know the feeling of having power is intoxicating, but in fact, awakening It is not a good thing. It means that the law of convergence will accompany you for life, which means that emergencies may happen at any time. I hope that you are just an ordinary person and live a healthy and happy life as an ordinary person."
"The matter has come to this. Instead of worrying about the dangers in the future, it is better to face the present harder. In fact, my ability level is not bad, enough to protect myself." Dean flicked his fingers again, pop, red and silver flashed, more than a dozen Fist-sized fireballs, ice balls, and electric balls emerged from the void and circled around his head, forming a dazzling circle of light that illuminated the shock on Lena's face.
Just by watching, women can feel the destructive power contained in these energy balls.
"You have just been awakened for a year, how can you be so powerful?"
"Maybe I have outstanding talents, but my superpowers have helped me get through a lot of difficulties." Dean changed the subject and said with a smile, "It's my turn to ask, didn't you seek asylum in Santanica at first? How did it become Snake demon, did she force you?"
"No, Santanica is a respectable lady," Lena explained with gratitude. "More than two years ago, the day I arrived at Rulang Bar happened to be a blood sacrifice, and the snake monster closed the door and started to wash the bar with blood. In order to protect me, Santanica transformed me into a snake demon, and then under the protection of the temple and the phantom snake, the Law of Convergence would never come to the door again. But again, I could not step out of the temple. .”
Dean was silent for a second after hearing this, exchanged a look with the shadow next to Lena, and asked tactfully, "Does the bar hold a blood sacrifice every month?"
"Yes, but I have never participated, and I can't do it." Lena sighed, "Santánica understood me and claimed that I was her maid and could not do such dirty work, so she protected me. But She actually regarded me as a sister and never treated me harshly. Instead, she often talked to me about her innermost thoughts, such as the sadness and pain of the past hundreds of years, and her desire for freedom."
Lena looked into Dean's eyes seriously, "Santanyca is a good person."
Dean heard "Shadow" let out a long sigh of relief, and he was relieved. At the same time, his impression of the Queen of the Night improved greatly.
Just imagine, if the mother of this body was a demon who killed innocent people without any principles, it would be contrary to the principles they had adhered to in the past, and he didn't know how to face it.
As for some of the details, he did not intend to delve into them.
Otherwise, there are no innocents.
"Then how did you enter the heart of the temple?"
"Life in the temple is very boring. I think about you and the light every day. But in April and May last year, my premonition ability broke out without warning and showed me a terrifying picture." Lena paused, her eyes His eyes were wide open and almost protruding from his sockets, and his cheeks turned blue with fear, "I saw you hanging yourself in the bedroom of the old house, in front of a photo of our family of three!"
Dean's pupils shrank subtly, and the identical face of the shadow next to him showed an extremely complicated expression.
This premonition is too accurate (Chapter 1 plot).
"You are wrong. Am I not living well?"
"Yeah. What I saw was just a possibility, and it obviously didn't happen in our world. But I didn't know it at the time, and I was extremely worried... I told myself that I would leave the temple immediately to confirm." Lena was determined. Holding Dean's hand, "Santanyica told me that I could only leave after seeing the phantom snake's true form and being forgiven by him, so I fled underground with a few survivors on a blood sacrifice day."
A trace of fear flashed in Lena's eyes,
"We encountered countless Canaans. They cut human beings into five pieces and sent me to the heart of the temple as a reserve food for the phantom snakes."
"grain reserves?"
"Whenever He is dissatisfied with the blood sacrifice, he will eat some snake monsters as punishment."
Dean was extremely glad that he arrived in time, and then he and Ying shook Lena's hand tightly, "The temple has sunk into the ground, and the phantom snake has also turned into loess along with its group of disgusting accomplices. From now on, you will never have to Worry."
"Yes." Lena wiped her tears and looked at Dean's face with a loving smile, "How did you do it? In my impression, the Phantom Snake is as powerful as a god and almost impossible to defeat."
"No, the Phantom Snake is far from a god, but it is greedier and crueler than a god, and it is too arrogant, so it went to destruction." Dean suddenly looked outside the door. The Goko brothers and the Queen of the Night were sitting in the yard. In the chat, "Don't keep everyone waiting, let's go and talk about the next plan together."
(End of chapter)
