Standing at Level 5!
Su Changsheng felt the changes in himself and was secretly speechless.
Although breaking through from level 4 to level 5 is not like breaking through level 3 into level 4, there will be a qualitative change brought about by class improvement.
But the intensity of the improvement is still great.
It is still evidenced by the changes in demon power, energy, blood, and demon body:
The first is the demonic power. After reaching the fifth level, the demonic power in the whole body boils and is so thick that it is almost like butter. Its storage range is also gradually expanding. Previously, only the reverse scale, the second qi and blood center, and some internal organs stored demonic power.
But this time, the demon power in the reverse scale gradually spread to other areas as the reverse scale grew. Some huge scales close to the reverse scale also had the effect of storing demon power.
The spine and snake bones behind him were derived from Qi and blood, and traces of demonic power gradually appeared in the surrounding flesh and blood tissue.
The same is true for the internal organs.
Many parts have been wrapped in demon power. This will greatly enhance Su Changsheng's internal defense capabilities.
Whether facing physical attacks or magical attacks, with the protection of demon power within the five internal organs, the defense effect will be absolutely overwhelming, and the defense power will more than double compared to before.
"At the fifth level, the demon power begins to penetrate into the internal organs and even various flesh and blood tissues. Isn't it similar to human martial arts. Before the third level, you can practice skin training and blood training to create a second qi and blood center. After the third level, you can refine your internal organs and viscera, and temper them. Refining the internal organs.”
Su Changsheng thought about it and found the corresponding template.
In fact, at the fourth level, the demon power is already showing signs of spreading to various flesh and blood tissues and internal organs. It's just that it wasn't as obvious as level five at that time.
And now that the demon power appears in these places, not only will his defense power be greatly increased, but the demon power and reserves derived from him will also be doubled.
Su Changsheng silently calculated it.
At present, the demon power is at least about five times what it was before the fourth level. This is still because the demon power has not been filled up and is still growing. At the same time, the demon body has not yet fully adapted to the changes at the fifth level.
Once the derivation is completed and the demon body has stabilized and fully adapted to him at level five, the demon power is estimated to be about ten times that of level four.
No longer have to worry about consuming magic power for various magic runes and techniques.
It can be used freely.
In addition to the huge changes in demonic power, the changes in qi and blood are not too big. Mainly, the second qi and blood center, which is the snake bone of the spine, is strengthened again.
The energy and blood derived are more abundant.
However, compared to what Su Changsheng needs for his cultivation, its derivation speed is still insufficient. Due to his limited qualifications, this shortcoming will continue to trouble him and become one of the main factors restricting the speed of cultivation.
The rest is the transformation of the demon body.
The changes on the surface of the demon body are not obvious. From a standing height of only about nine and a half meters, it has broken through to ten meters, and its body length is also close to twenty meters.
Although he has broken through level five, the upper limit of his demon body's growth is getting lower and lower, and it is becoming more and more difficult.
The last time he relied on black blood to break through the shackles of the demon body's growth, it basically drained the demon body's growth potential completely.
Breaking through the fifth level now will allow him to grow a little further and enter the ten-meter ranks, which is already not easy.
I dare not continue to ask for more.
"After the demon body's growth reaches its limit, if you want to grow further, you need to work hard in other aspects."
"Black blood...or the third molt!"
Su Changsheng pondered secretly.
Heixue didn't need to think about it for the time being. He didn't even dare to let the mirage spell attract this kind of blood out of thin air. After all, there was no way to deal with blood contamination.
And although its effect is extraordinary, it also contains many risks and troubles. He didn't want to use it rashly before he had the exact assurance and means, and didn't know what the black blood was about.
This leaves only the third molt.
As the greatest creation of the snake demon, if he can shed his skin for the third time, it is equivalent to rebuilding the demon body. At that time, the upper limit of growth will be reshaped and the upper limit will be greatly raised.
only…
"too difficult!"
"The third molt is far away. Even with the help of proficient level molt runes and hair removal runes, the effect will not be seen in a short time."
"Perhaps I should change my mind and look for more magic spells like shedding runes and hair removal runes? I also have the Little Poisonous Dragon Sloughing Skill, which is about to reach the mastery level."
Su Changsheng thought of this intermediate rune.
As one of his only mid-level runes, the Little Poisonous Dragon Sloughing Technique has great expectations for him. Whether it is the feedback of the rune's creation after the intermediate rune is promoted, or its own special effect, it indicates that the effect of this rune will be extraordinary after it is promoted to the mastery level.
At that time, it may be possible to help him quickly enter the third molting period, which is not impossible.
Of course, although he longed to have a bigger monster body, he didn't push it too hard.
After all, the demon body has grown to a standing height of ten meters, and after the total length is close to twenty meters, it becomes extremely difficult to continue to increase it.
Take the Black Tiger Demon as an example. Its bloodline is very strong and its qualifications are also very good. But the body shape is still stuck at the level of ten meters and twenty meters, which is almost impossible to save.
You can imagine how difficult it is.
In the entire Black Mountain Monster Village, except for those high-level monsters, there are very few monsters below the seventh level that exceed this limit. Even those with giant bloodlines are no exception.
Su Changsheng also benefited from his own tail, and he barely approached this level. However, in terms of overall size, he is completely inferior to the Black Tiger Demon.
The latter's size is really like an extremely solid hill.
"Fortunately, I pay more attention to the inside!"
"Inner beauty is the real beauty!"
Although the appearance of the body shape did not change much, only a small increase, Su Changsheng's demonic body increased a lot internally.
Strength, agility, defense, speed and other attributes, as long as he could test them, almost all increased by more than three times.
Especially for defense, the demon power covers a wider area, and the whole body's defense has been greatly improved.
Just tapping the scales on his body with his hand, the sound made at this moment is exactly the same as the sound of metal collision.
Shockingly hard!
This is not much worse than the stone demon who is famous for its defensive power. It is even worse than the stone demon of the same level.
Even if you let a third-level monster jerk you off while standing, you may not be able to jerk him off.
"The effect of stone forging is extraordinary."
"If I didn't get started, become proficient, become proficient, and refine my demon body three times, how could I have such outrageous defense today?"
"However, it's still not enough."
"It's best to find a few magic arts that can temper the demon body, and make the armor thicker."
Su Changsheng's goal is not just that simple. Whenever he stands there and the big demon can't move him, then he has tempered his demon body to the limit.
If you have a long-term goal, just practice slowly.
With the promotion now, the proficient-level stone forging technique can continue to be used for a period of time. Presumably, by then the demon body has been tempered, and its various attributes can grow again.
There were many other changes in the rest, and Su Changsheng had to adapt to them for a long time before finally ending this practice.
Open the panel and look at its own properties.

"It only costs 20,000 to reach level six? Double the amount? Not bad, not bad!"
Su Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
If this were the same as before, if it were doubled four or five times, he would not be exhausted to death.
I have tried it just now. Without relying on the spiritual energy of the snake spirit grass, I just breathed in and practiced, and I still had about six points of experience in transforming the realm in one hour.
It didn't go down too much.
About 70 a day.
However, if you want to advance to level six, even if you don't eat or drink, you still need to practice for about a year. It is basically impossible to do this, so if he wants to break through to level six, it should be within two years.
This speed is not slow!
But he couldn't wait any longer.
The Demon Village is surrounded by dangers. It is only calm on the surface, but in reality there are undercurrents. Faced with the situation getting worse and worse, at the fifth level, he had no sense of security at all.
He needs a higher level!
Stronger strength!
Level 6 or higher!
At the very least, after the collapse of the Black Mountain Demon Village, they would not be overwhelmed by the general trend and would not even have room to struggle.
"At the same time, we need to create some backup places for ourselves. After all, the cunning rabbit still has three burrows. Maybe the big toad's suggestion can be considered."
Su Changsheng thought of what the big toad said some time ago.
According to it, as the weather has gotten warmer recently, many residents of Zuozhai have made plans to move back to Zuozhai. Although the village collapsed under the snowstorm, the village has remained intact.
The Zuo Village is close to a water source and has a big river next to it. Compared with the Black Mountain Demon Village at the foot of the mountain, the geographical environment is better and food is easier to obtain.
Especially for aquatic monsters like the big toad, it is a rare place to live.
However, the upper echelons of Black Mountain Demon Village were dismissive of this and had no intention of restarting Zuo Village. After all, their energy is completely focused on the Beishan pioneering and the safe passage.
Facing Zuo Village, which has been deserted for a winter, I don't even bother to pay attention.
Even the White Lady, although she didn't come forward to stop it, didn't agree either. However, she did allow the lower-level demon people, as well as some of the higher-ups who wanted to move back to Zuozhai, to move freely between the two villages.
Big Toad has been organizing manpower recently. It is said that he is planning to go over there with a senior executive of the Demon Village to take a look at the situation there. He also asked Su Changsheng if he wanted to go over and take a look.
At that time, he was in the process of breaking through for promotion, so he turned down the offer.
Now that he has been promoted to level five, Su Changsheng doesn't mind leaving an extra escape route for himself if possible.
Once there is a huge problem in the Black Mountain Demon Village, he can move to the Zuo Village.
As for why King Zhouhu's Youzhai was not considered, it was not that he did not want to consider it, but that he was unable to consider it.
The monsters in Youzhai are very xenophobic. This can be seen from the heavy snowfall some time ago, which caused the monsters of Zuozhai to flee here, but the monsters of Youzhai basically have no monsters coming.
Compared to the Zuo Village, the You Village is more mysterious and dangerous, so it’s better not to attack that side and be careful.
"There's no rush. We'll wait and see for a while. After all, it's far away from the three great demons. Even if the auras of the three great demons can occasionally cover it, there is still danger."
"Let the big toad wade in the water first."
Thinking like this, Su Changsheng looked at the survival point again.
2700 survival points!
An unprecedented amount of money.
This is due to the relatively stable life in the recent period. There is no expenditure but income, and a lot has been accumulated over time.
Similar to Stonesmithing Mastery +20
Join the demon group +10
Promoted to small management monster +15
etc……
There are really many gains like this. Therefore, it can be seen that a relatively stable living environment is the best way to obtain survival points.
Even the daily fixed minimum settlement has increased by one or two points.
"Unknowingly, it has been a year since I came to this world."
Su Changsheng looked at his lifespan again, and his age changed from 11 to 12.
For a moment, my mind was filled with deep thoughts and endless thoughts.
…
Midnight.
Received another amount of survival points.
Survival points +1000
Rating: Excellent
——Year after year, now and now. Level 5 status is the best gift to give yourself another year of growth.
——The beginning of the strong and the end of the weak. At level five, you can finally take control of your own destiny. You are only one step away from escaping from the dangerous whirlpool outside the demon village. Please keep up your efforts.
"There is actually a thousand points reward."
"The survival points are now 3,700. If combined with the Snake Spirit Grass, can I reach the sixth level?"
Su Changsheng picked up the frozen snake spirit grass and thought about it while looking at it.
As he advanced to level five, the aura effect of the Snake Spirit Grass gradually declined, but it could still barely reach an experience conversion rate of about 10 points an hour.
However, this spiritual grass had been continuously absorbing its spiritual energy for more than a month, and it was almost exhausted.
Especially in the past few days, the rate at which it releases special spiritual energy has become less and less. In about ten days, that special spiritual energy will be completely exhausted.
By then, unless he eats the Snake Spirit Grass directly, his cultivation speed will drop back to 6 points per hour.
"edible?"
Su Changsheng pondered.
After more than a month, it can basically be concluded that there is indeed nothing wrong with this Snake Spirit Grass, at least there is nothing wrong with the spiritual energy emanating from it.
Therefore, he temporarily believed Bai Ling's words. Only three points, no more.
But if he ate this spiritual plant directly, he felt a little uneasy and could not convince his usual cautious heart.
In fact, the best way is to find a way to restore the spiritual energy of this spiritual plant. After all, this spiritual plant is not dead. If he can find out how to cultivate the spiritual plant, wouldn't he be able to continuously absorb the spiritual energy of the spiritual plant?
"The knowledge of cultivating spiritual plants... Oh, damn, it's knowledge again. Where can I find this knowledge in the wild demon village?"
Su Changsheng rubbed his swollen head and sighed slightly.
"Forget it, let's see what this meeting of the Fox Book Demon Alliance has to say."
His own demonic power has indeed undergone a qualitative change now, and it incorporates the power of many demonic runes and demonic skills.
There may indeed be some resistance to the pollution and erosion of 'people'. However, it is not yet known how effective it will be.
Moreover, it is not clear how to release and protect him, so Bai Ling is needed to guide him.
"Fox Book Demon Alliance...it seems like it's time for the party tomorrow."
"At the last gathering, it is said that a big event will be announced next time, so all the monsters in the monster alliance should be present."
"It's mysterious. Could something big happen? Is there something big going on in the Black Mountain Monster Village again?"
Su Changsheng pondered secretly.
There's no way the fox girl Xiaosi, that sexy fox, is ready to find a husband.
