After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 100 The Trial of Strength (Please subscribe)

His own spirituality became agitated by the wash of the holy blood pool. As time went by, Ryan felt a sense of drowsiness in his heart, and this feeling became stronger and stronger. No matter how hard he tried, he could not resist it. In the end, , fell into a deep sleep.

The same situation happened to Freni opposite Ryan.

……

I don't know how long it took, but Ryan woke up leisurely.

Before he even opened his eyes, he felt the full and burgeoning spirituality within his body.

"The effect of the holy blood is so powerful..."

Ryan slowly opened his eyes and saw Freni not far away.

At this moment, the water in the blood pool has become much lighter, and the original situation of being completely unable to see no longer exists.

From a distance of more than two meters, Ryan could faintly see the perfect undulating curves of the girl's body-hugging skirt under the water.

Miss Witch's eyes were still closed, as if she was in deep sleep. There was still a faint blood vortex flowing around her body.

Thinking of the words in the introduction of [Holy Blood] that the use effect is related to the body's endurance and level, Ryan suddenly understood - Freni, who has been promoted to the second level, has not yet completed the absorption of [Holy Blood].

Ryan blinked, then withdrew his gaze and stood up from the holy blood pool.

Ryan took out a new set of clothes from the space ring and changed them. His body became dry again, Ryan let out a sigh and looked at the panel.

-

【灵性】：4.8——“暴食猎人（一阶）”+1.5、异界之魂+1.0，游历分身“海盗（一阶）”反馈0.3、十颗【一阶灵性提升结晶】+1.0、【圣血】+1.0
  -

"After absorbing [Holy Blood], does the upper limit of spirituality increase by 1.0? The effect is the same as taking ten [First-order Spirituality Enhancement Crystals]..."

"But in this case, wouldn't the previous speculation be more likely!"

Ryan complained in his mind, and then turned his attention to the surroundings of the Blood Moon Temple.

The walls and stone pillars of the temple were painted with magnificent and complicated relief patterns, which seemed to be describing something. Unfortunately, without the gray fonts displayed, Ryan could not understand the meaning of these patterns.

Compared with traditional temples, this place seemed too sparse. After looking around, Ryan's eyes fell on a tightly closed stone door directly in front of the entrance.

With nothing to do, he came to this huge stone door.

On the stone gate, there is a huge wolf head carved on it. The process of walking towards the stone gate is like walking towards the huge wolf's angry mouth.

To Ryan's surprise, the gray font actually showed a hint for this door.

-

[Trial of Strength]: [The Blood King] left something in the room behind the door and set up this door. [Trial of Strength] will produce different resistances based on the race and rank of the person trying it. Only pure physical strength can push this door.

Please note that so far, no human has successfully passed the [Trial of Strength].

-

"Oh?"

Looking at the prompts in front of him, Ryan's eyes showed interest.

If this thing is testing something else, he is not very confident. After all, the sentence "So far, no human being has successfully passed the [Trial of Strength]" is really a bit bluffing.

But the test of pure physical strength... It's not that Ryan is arrogant, he thinks that normal humans are unlikely to be stronger than him at the first level.

This is true even if the scope is expanded to the second level.

Thinking of this, he became interested and raised his hands, pressing them on both sides of the door, and then began to exert force.

But what surprised Ryan was that even if he pushed his strength to the limit, he still couldn't shake the stone door.

This situation made Ryan frown.

At the same time, he also discovered that there was a slight change in the description of [Trial of Strength].

-

[Trial of Strength]: ...The race and level of the current attempter are: human, first level. The minimum [Physique] requirement to pass [Trial of Strength] is: 10.0.

-

"10.0 [Physique]?!"

Ryan couldn't help but want to curse people, no, curse God.

Did the "King of Blood" set up this [Trial of Strength] on purpose?

Which human being at the first level can have a [Physique] of 10.0?
  This has to be possible only for giants, right?
  And if a first-order giant comes to try the [Trial of Strength], how high will the requirements be?
  This thing simply doesn't let anyone pass, right?

No wonder no human being has been able to pass the [Trial of Strength] so far.

After the anger, Ryan, who was standing in front of the door, gradually calmed down.

His current [Physique] is 9.46. To be honest, the gap from 10.0 is not big. If the traveling clone can be upgraded to another level, the power fed back will greatly exceed the requirements of 10.0, and it will definitely be enough to pass the [Trial of Strength] ].

Thinking of the traveling clone, Ryan couldn't help but look inside at the [Unnamed Ship Sculpture] deep inside his body.

Then, he was surprised to find that the [Travel] function had ended its cooldown?
  "Did I just sleep in the Holy Blood Pool for nearly a day?"

Ryan muttered to himself.

After thinking about it, he walked back to the Holy Blood Pool and sat down on the edge.

He has already explored the Blood Moon Temple, and it can be said that except for the [Trial of Strength], there is nothing else of value.

Currently, Freni is still absorbing [Holy Blood], and he plans to take advantage of this time to "travel" and try his best to upgrade the traveling clone.

He was really curious about what was hidden behind the [Trial of Strength]. After all, how can something that even the [Blood King], as a god, needs to set up a [Trial of Strength] to protect, be ordinary?
  The space ring on Ryan's hand flashed, and a wooden box suddenly appeared in front of him.

With the use of [Attachment], the wooden box suddenly changed into the shape of a raft.

Seeing this, Ryan nodded with satisfaction.

In order to prepare for emergencies, he kept two wooden boxes in the space ring. He did not expect that they would come in handy on this occasion.

The raft turned from a wooden box was very mini, so Ryan simply used it as a pillow, lying on the edge of the holy blood pool and closing his eyes.

[Travel], start!

……

After the familiar feeling of falling, the light gradually returned to my eyes.

Ryan glanced across the mast and did not see the "letter for help". He was relieved but also a little disappointed.

The "letter for help" did not appear, which meant that Dayin was safe now, which was a good thing. However, he was disappointed that without the "letter for help", it would not be so easy for him to find suitable prey.

With Dayin's current strength, the one that could make it call for help would be at least a special species at the same level as the female fire dragon, and might even be as good as the male fire dragon leader.

Nowadays, Ryan has basically eliminated all the special species in the outer area and the ancient forest area.

The embarrassing thing is that even so, there are only nine special species, and the last one is still short of awakening the [Holy Relic: Blue Medal].

This makes people feel itchy.

The effect of [Blue Medal] is very powerful. Without the bonus of its two levels of physical fitness, Ryan's traveling clone, not to mention the leader of the male fire dragon, may not even be able to defeat the red tyrannosaurus.

The "awakening" stage alone is so strong, what about the further "awakening"?

Ryan doesn't ask for anything else, just to improve his physical fitness by another level.

It's just that now...

Ryan turned his head and looked into the depths of the island: "Should we head towards the inner area?"

Ryan knew very little about the inner area of ​​this mysterious island. Even the two notes left by Loick, the deputy leader of the [-]th Scouting and Hunting Regiment, did not have much description of the inner area.

The only thing Ryan knew was that the inner area and the ancient forest area were separated by towering surrounding mountain cliffs.

By the way, mountain cliff!

Ryan's eyes lit up.

His previous battle with the leader of the male fire dragon caused a large area of ​​​​fragmentation on one side of the mountain cliff. Now, it is possible to pass through that gap and enter the inner area for preliminary exploration.

[Bonfire Point-Gap between Giant Trees]

The gathered sparks condensed into Ryan's body, and he glanced at the [Fire Dragon Egg] placed beside the bonfire.

One day passed, and the fire dragon egg still showed no signs of hatching.

Ryan withdrew his gaze and walked away from the bonfire.

Not long after, he arrived not far from the broken mountain cliff.

What was once a flash flood has now become a trickling river.

Ryan jumped onto the section of the mountain cliff and looked up inside.

What he saw made his eyes widen slightly.

It was completely different from the environment he imagined. There was no giant tree in the inner area, and except for the rocks rising out of the ground, there was no sign of life.

No, that's not accurate either.

On the cliff wall of the inner mountain not far away, you can still see the remaining green algae - this should be the plant life that was cultivated when the floods of the inner mountain still existed in the past.

The entire inner area, figuratively speaking, can be seen as a huge blooming stone flower, with mountain cliffs one after another forming the petals of the "Stone Flower".

And these mountain floods are just years of accumulated water stored between "petals".

As for how Da Yin swam here... I'm afraid only Da Yin knows about that secret passage.

Ryan took a deep breath and jumped into "Flowers of Stone."

Looking around, there were only rocks, and not even a shadow of a monster could be seen. Ryan thought about it and chose to move forward in a straight line.

Along the way, the terrain gradually rose up. When we approached the "second petal", the ground under our feet had changed from moist and soft soil to a desert made of piles of gravel.

In fact, even the breeze blowing in the face was mixed with fine sand.

From wetland to desert, only a few kilometers away, such drastic environmental changes occurred.

Although he had already seen the magical ecology on the isolated island, Ryan still couldn't help but sigh.

"Whoosh..."

The closer we got to the "second petal", the stronger the wind became. In the end, the wind was mixed with a lot of fine sand, making it difficult to see clearly ahead.

"Roar--!"

A dragon roar came from the depths of the wind and sand.

Ryan's progress suddenly stopped.

In the wind and sand, a huge shadow slowly walked out, its sharp horn, like a knight's spear, pointing diagonally at the sky.
