Othua's War Banner

Chapter 4 0004: Gift

Thinking on the ground, the notes in front of me are extremely clear.

【You made an attempt, and the veil was gently lifted. As for whether this mystery is a gift or a curse, please follow your wishes. 】

Ken has no entity now, and opening his eyes is to peek into his own spiritual world.

Language can't describe that scene, but as long as you realize it, the notes will visualize it.

[Character: Ken Bouvier]

[Identity: Wanderer]

【Level: D】

The restless colorful glow had completely merged with him.

Ken thought.

The so-called "trying" should be to use that green light spot to activate this process.

He wanders in the spiritual world, and he can feel every inch of his body.

The body and soul are perfectly aligned.

All the notes he had seen before, [history] [character] [item], etc., can also be called up and viewed here.

They are divided into categories, and there is boundless darkness behind them.

Only the parts you know light up.

Ken tried again to track down the energy that had just penetrated his body.

Consciousness is guided to the center, and his own blood bar emerges, showing that the body is slowly recovering. Besides, there are two most noticeable attributes.

[Qualification: 1.7 Wisdom: 2.0]

A certain understanding flashed in Ken's mind.

[Qualification] is a value obtained after combining physical fitness, reaction force, riding a mount, and one-handed various weapons proficiency.

Similarly, [wisdom] is not only the toughness of the soul...

Magic affinity, business talent, experience, and alertness are also included.

Those green energies are experience points, which are stored in the spiritual world, and can be consumed to heal the body or improve certain attributes.

He wanted to reach out and touch it.

Although there is no entity, those light spots escaped in all directions, illuminating an open space in the distance. Ken felt vaguely there were people there, but when he looked carefully, it was full of phantoms.

When he noticed this, the note flashed again.

[Task: Recruitment]

【Progress: 0/5】

[Description: Everyone knows that you can't be alone in the wasteland, find someone who is willing to follow you as soon as possible. 】

Ken made some other attempts, then imagined opening his eyes from sleep.

He felt the weight instantly, and his body remained in a state of collapse—the mental world was independent of time, and reality was almost static.

Um, what is this?
Ken imagined importing experience points into his pupils, and the world in his eyes changed instantly.

His gaze was straight through the soil.

The whole is a black and white filter...

The necromancers and vipers lurking in the snowdrifts all glowed red, while the herbs and wild fruits glowed blue.

It's a wonderful experience.

The gray-white world has only outlines and a limited range, about ten steps in radius.

But the important things are highlighted.

Hiss, it hurts!
Ken covered his head, the dark cave was still in front of him, and when he tried to expand the gray vision, he realized that the few remaining experience points had been used up.

Well, let's talk about it next time.

Ken turned his attention back to his eyes.

He struck the corpse of the necromancer with his scabbard.

After the blue flame disappeared, they were as brittle as ice slag.

【Bone Meal X3】

These pastes mixed with carrion are still valuable, and can be processed into medicine, or directly used as magic consumables.

Ken put it away, got up and opened the gap.

He struggled to climb out from the mound, stretched his limbs presumptuously, feeling the breeze in the afternoon was so pleasant.

Looking back at the hillside.

After the avalanche, some brown ground was exposed, and he took all the [grass fruit] and [qiang tree root] he saw just now into his pocket.

There is more than one dead spirit buried in the ruins.

Ken didn't let it go.

He was full of energy now, and began digging, using the scabbard as a tool.

Not long after, a necromantic creature was attracted by anger, and its withered arm broke through the ground, grabbing his ankle with pain.

A skeleton head appeared right after, with blue flames flickering in its eye sockets, as if it had just woken up.

Ken didn't wait stupidly, he clenched the steel sword with both hands and pierced it through the top of his head, the movement was smooth and natural.

He has been washed by experience points, and he is no longer that fledgling wanderer.

Oh, a little touch.

The experience gained is not much, and it cannot cause any qualitative changes. It seems that the wave of improvement just now is largely due to the completion of the task.

As for recruiting followers, you have to find a village or camp.

It seems that we can't get it done in a short time, let's talk about it after [Mission: Collect Food].

He looked up to find the sun, and it would take one day to return to Santon Kaya, and he had only one day left to hunt.

No further thought.

Taking advantage of the bright sunlight, he continued to search for the undead.

They are very weak now, and mercenaries often make such commissions, but without special means, they can only dig through the soil to find them.

Ken didn't have to take his chances.

He directly used the experience points as an investment. After the gray vision unfolded, the undead hidden in the shallow layer of the surface were exposed in front of his eyes.

The steel sword continued to penetrate the skull.

[Cumulative Kills: Necromancer Skeleton X4]

He pauses for a moment.

Both [Swordsmanship] and [Physical Strength] have increased slightly, and the experience points meet the needs of upgrading. After consumption, the attributes have been improved again.

[Qualification: 1.8].

I'm getting stronger, this way is going to work!
But the number of undead is running out, there is no need to dig deeper places, and the speed of experience inflow has slowed down.

He became impatient, and the slope was full of potholes, like road signs.

Where, I want to dig down!

He didn't realize that he had fallen into a certain kind of madness, and sometimes he would even use his hands and feet to dig the ground, and the nails were filled with dirt except for snow seeds.

Huh, something seems wrong.

Ken looked like a madman, he continued to squeeze out the remaining experience and glanced back and forth, his pupils became a little scarlet, and his expression became more and more excited!
Suddenly, he raised his sword and ran towards the slope, and the gray vision showed that there was a "big guy" here.

[Hostile: Undead Badger X1]

【Level: E】

Its body buried under the soil was as strong as a calf.

It is estimated that it has been mutated for several years, and it has not been killed yet.

Ken threw himself into the snowdrift, and quickly dug out half a beast-shaped head. The hair rubbed against the scabbard like a hard brush.

He raised the steel sword, and after a little hesitation, he still inserted it hard into the gray eyeball, passing through several layers of tissue with different softness and hardness, the touch felt very strange.

Along with the stirring, the stench spread over the surface, but the experience points were still gone.

[The weaknesses of undead creatures are not the same, so look for them carefully. 】

Ken gasped weakly.

Now that his legs and feet are weak, no matter how stupid he is, he can still feel that things are getting out of control.

[Status: Hunting Infection 46%]

He forcibly suppressed the bloodthirsty urge, regained his sanity for a short while, and pulled back his health—the blood bar was less than half!
[Shouluo will not only infect the corpse, but also the soul will be slowly eroded. 】

Ken didn't have time to think about it, he immediately mobilized experience points.

But first he raised his attributes, and then squandered them unrestrainedly. The current storage capacity is not enough to heal his body.

The infestation of hunting is getting worse, and the immediate crisis has not yet been resolved.

Ken hides the remarks, and turns his target to this [Necromantic Badger], the hilt of his sword trembling slightly.

The undead creature, which was as quiet as a corpse just now, suddenly burst out with energy, blue flames rushed out of the damaged head, and hovered upward like ghosts climbing the blade.

Swish!
Ken hastily drew out his steel sword and stepped back.

The deformed claw brushed against his neck, breaking the skin in an instant.

Ken lowered his center of gravity, and he felt his hairs stand on end. He was only a thin line away from death just now.

The monster in front of him had purple muscles, black air wrapped around his body, and blue flames gurgled from the damaged eye sockets like magma.

If another mercenary were here, he would have to cover his wound and scream a few times if he didn't think about running away...

Ken is different, even if he runs away, he can't escape the [Hunting Infection] state.

He was exceptionally calm, or he had no way out, determination flashed in his eyes - today he and it, one of them will sleep forever.

The giant claws were still waving wildly.

Snow foam shot out, and the frozen soil on the lower body of the Necromancer Badger had cracked.

Ken cut out the steel sword to try his strength, and his improved strength could slightly suppress the opponent.

The moment I came to this conclusion...

He rushed out!
　Send the contract today, invest quickly, and ask for a recommendation ticket by the way, and when the status is changed, the double update will officially start!
