Next, comes the peak harvest period.
Countless magic runes, magic skills, etc. that have been suppressed for a long time are breaking through one after another and promoted to new levels.
After the hair removal rune breaks through to the mastery level, worship its effect in stimulating and purifying the blood.
On the eleventh day, the flame rune was promoted to mastery level. Derived from the ability to split, the flame can be split into two during an attack.
And the temperature also increased sharply.
The intense heat almost distorted the air. Even Su Changsheng's hard scales could not stand facing a proficiency-level flame rune.
On the twelfth day, Ice Rune was promoted to mastery level.
The effect is similar to the Fire Rune.
The temperature is extremely low, close to the range of 80 to 90 degrees below zero, and can even condense into sharp ice, instantly penetrating the enemy at low temperatures.
On the sixteenth day, the hard-skinned rune was promoted to mastery level.
Unexpectedly, this rune did not derive new abilities, but the hardening effect was increased by more than ten times.
Using the Hard Skin Talisman not only speeds up the hardening of new skin. Daily use can also make skin scales temporarily become extremely hard.
It is equivalent to giving yourself a temporary defense BUFF.
Su Changsheng experimented several times and found that when using the Hard Skin Talisman, even his ice runes and fire runes were unable to cause large-scale damage to the flesh and blood under the skin.
It's a pity that the duration is too short, only a few seconds.
After all, this kind of rune is an auxiliary rune during the molting period. It can also improve the defense of the scale armor a little bit on weekdays. It can be used in conjunction with the stone forging technique, and the effect is extraordinary.
But if you are facing an enemy, it will take some time to treat it as a real auxiliary rune. For the time being, it can only be used at critical moments.
A few seconds of super hardened defense is better than nothing.
In addition, the two intermediate runes, the Healing Talisman and the Little Poisonous Dragon Sloughing Talisman, have also been improved, reaching about one-third of the full proficiency level.
As for the Purification Talisman and the Shrinking Talisman, the former is close to the full proficiency level, while the latter has also made considerable progress.
At this point, the various runes Su Changsheng has learned have basically reached the ultimate level that he can study.
Especially for those low-level runes, after reaching the mastery level, reaching the full level experience of up to 2,500 points can no longer be achieved through short-term retreat and hard training.
It requires him to accumulate over many years and improve step by step. Without more knowledge acquisition and corresponding opportunities, it may be difficult to improve even once in several years.
It's basically the end.
However, after these low-level runes reach the mastery level, their feedback power is quite impressive.
The runes of fire and ice fed back the power of fire and ice, re-tempering his monster body with one cold and one hot. The hard leather talisman and the hair removal talisman added three points of defense and a trace of pure blood to his body.
This is the real reward.
The feedback power of the runes is gradually changing Su Changsheng's monster body in a subtle way. Although he will not catch up with the pure-blood monsters, it also makes him gradually break away from the ranks of low-level monsters.
Let’s not mention these for now.
It’s not just the hex runes that are so rewarding.
The three kinds of magic skills have also made great progress.
Turtle Breath Mastery 230/2500
Lithotripsy Mastery 500/2500
Stonesmith proficiency 380/500
Let’s not mention the first two for now, as they are still far away from mastery. But the stone forging technique is about to break through.
This witchcraft skill, and the proficient level of stone breaking technique, complement each other. It can be said that they are a perfect match, regardless of you or me.
Coordinate and drive each other.
Coupled with the guidance of auxiliary materials such as runes, toad oil, etc., stone forging has progressed rapidly.
This caused Su Changsheng's monster body to change slightly every day, becoming bigger, thicker, stronger, harder and stronger.
This kind of little change and clearly visible improvement made him addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.
Cultivation is really addictive to demons.
No wonder those cultivators often stay in seclusion for more than ten years. It can be said that there is no time in the mountains, and there is no age in cultivation.
However, this sorcery skill is not without its flaws.
In the past, the consumption of flesh and blood was too serious. Now, although Su Changsheng's reserves are slightly sufficient, as this skill continues to improve, ordinary rocks can no longer meet the needs of cultivation.
It takes a lot of time every day to carefully select the rocks dug out, and try to choose those that contain the most essence.
But even in this way, the effect of those stones on the stone forging technique is almost unnoticeable. It often takes more than ten cubic meters of mountain rocks to extract the essence he needs for one cultivation session.
The time consumed and the effort invested are no longer proportional to the gains.
Unsustainable.
Su Changsheng had to stop practicing the Stone Forging Technique. Unless the source of training materials was solved, or the Stone Forging Technique was upgraded and became more efficient, he could only reluctantly stop.
He did have a few pieces of iron ore on hand, but he couldn't use them for the time being.
Firstly, the skilled-level stone forging technique cannot absorb and extract the essence of iron ore, and secondly, he is reluctant to use it.
This thing is so precious.
He planned to keep it until the technique was upgraded to see if he could refine the iron in the iron ore separately, then strip it out and build himself a small weapon.
Such as gloves, finger tigers, etc.
It also eliminates the need to release the lithotripsy technique with both hands out of thin air every time. Not only is the power greatly weakened, but it is also extremely easy to backfire on the finger bones.
A few days ago, when he was fighting against the black dog demon, he was forced to use the Stone Crushing Technique three times in a row, which still made his finger bones ache.
Healing runes are difficult to repair.
It can only be raised slowly.
This also made Su Changsheng even more obsessed with weapons.
…
It’s the end of the month again.
It's still snowing heavily today.
Su Changsheng rarely rested.
After nearly a month of crazy training, although he had gained a lot, it also left him physically and mentally exhausted, making it difficult to continue.
Combining work and rest is the right way.
In fact, the more important reason is: after a month of dedicated practice and various rune promotion breakthroughs, he has accumulated enough survival points to improve his skills.
Realm: Level 3 1760/2500
Kung Fu: Green Snake Breathing Technique Mastery 690/2500
Survival points: 1880
In nearly a month, Kankan had accumulated 200 survival points, going from 1,680 to 1,880.
Mainly due to the promotion settlement of several runes and the daily fixed guarantee.
Although the harvest is small, it is quite difficult.
Su Changsheng stopped practicing today precisely because he was preparing to improve his skills.
"It takes some preparation."
"I have consumed a lot of blood food recently. In less than a month, I have consumed more than 600 kilograms of reserves, and the reserves have dropped below the warning line."
"Go to the demon market to buy some blood food. If it's the flesh and blood of monsters, it's best to buy some too. After all, you can never have too much."
"As for other...healing talismans, prepare more. The same goes for hair removal talismans and skin-shedding talismans."
"It's also best to go to the demon market to buy some materials to assist in the breakthrough of skills..."
Su Changsheng was calculating item by item.
Although the Green Snake Breathing Technique is his foundation, he has no idea what level is beyond mastery, what changes there are, and what is needed.
After all, it is unknown whether this thing has a realm above the mastery level, even its predecessor.
Most of the low-level demon people struggle on the edge of survival every day, and they are only beginners and proficient in demon arts. As for those who know the proficiency level, there are very few.
Not to mention mastery.
Come to think of it, Su Changsheng is the first monster in the Black Mountain Monster Village, including the left and right villages, who can improve an ordinary skill to a mastery level.
Therefore, with the road ahead unknown, he could never be too prepared.
You must be careful and careful.
The kind of guy who eagerly improves his level without any preparation only exists in the Middle Kingdom. In the dangerous wild monster village, such fools would have died long ago.
"The breakthrough point is in the underground cave, but it's best to dig deeper. This depth is not enough."
Su Changsheng added something more.
To this day, his underground cave has a depth of seventy or eighty meters through leisurely digging every day.
But that's not enough!
He planned to dig to a hundred meters, just in case the movement of his breakthrough was bigger, and the thick rock and soil layers could cover up those fluctuations as much as possible.
Su Changsheng thought a lot about all these things and remembered them by category without leaving any omissions.
…
Early next morning
Su Changsheng, who was on time, wanted to go directly to the demon market to buy the materials he needed to break through the technique.
But who could have imagined that there was suddenly some movement next door.
Su Changsheng was slightly startled.
After moving the stone, he snaked out and saw a new neighbor moving into the room next door.
Couple again!
A couple of rabbit monsters.
They are all half-demon.
The rabbit girl was also extremely afraid of the huge Su Changsheng. She hid behind the rabbit demon and shivered. The rabbit demon nodded kindly to Su Changsheng, which was regarded as saying hello to the neighbor.
Su Changsheng looked indifferent, said hello in the same way, and headed towards Tuohuang Demon Market.
When he came back again, it was already afternoon.
Empty hands, nothing gained.
Tuohuang Demon Market didn't open today, so the trip was in vain.
Approaching the door, Su Changsheng saw the new bunny girl again.
She is really similar to the original Wu Nu, timid and fearful, but full of curiosity.
Seeing Su Changsheng appear, the rabbit girl had the courage to walk a few steps in. Although she was very scared, she still asked tremblingly: "Hello... hello... I want to ask, have you... met... met... Is it my husband?"
"He went to the demon market and hasn't come back yet."
He is also a Lord who cares about his husband!
Su Changsheng was in a trance, as if he had returned to the day when he first met the bird girl.
First, I sighed deeply. I wanted to answer something, but suddenly I felt something was wrong! Then as if he realized something, his hands and feet suddenly became cold.
An uncontrollable fear surged into my heart, making my hair stand on end.
The scales all over his body exploded at this moment, his scalp was numb, and a ridiculous and weird feeling came to his heart.
Exactly the same!
It’s really exactly the same!
The rabbit girl's expression, state, cautious look, and current question are surprisingly consistent with the black girl.
No difference!
At this moment, Su Changsheng passed by the rabbit girl and looked up at the stone house that once belonged to the male fox, before to the bird demon couple, and now to the rabbit demon couple.
His heart felt as if he was being pressed down by a huge mountain, making him breathless.
No, move!
Move as soon as possible!
There is definitely a big problem here!
