After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 116 The first "joy" (two-in-one, please subscribe)

"Crackling..."

The sound of a bonfire burning could be heard clearly in the quiet environment.

Ryan turned over the grill in his hand with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

After defeating the [Higher] One-horned Dragon, he tidied up and returned to [Bonfire Point - Fuyuan Outpost], and then passed to [Bonfire Point - Gap in the Giant Tree].

The reason for this is that he is ready to taste the flesh and blood of high-level monsters, and the rotten smell is permeated in the air of the "Fuyuan Outpost", which is a catastrophic damage to the flavor of the food.

Maybe some people love this special taste, but at least Ryan is not that kind of person.

At this moment, what was being roasted on the grill was a large steak of the [Superior] Unicorn Dragon.

After being carefully grilled for a long time, the pork chop exudes an attractive charred aroma, and the surface of the meat also shows a golden crispy skin.

Feeling that it was almost cooked, Ryan picked up the barbecue from the campfire and took a big bite without fear of burning his mouth.

The cooked meat loses its toughness as before, but the large and thick muscle fibers still affect the taste to some extent, but the richness of the meat itself is enough to cover up any shortcomings.

Ryan's face showed a look of satisfaction. At this time, he was extremely lucky that he had stacked up a high fire resistance, which allowed him to ignore the high temperature and eat the delicious food immediately.

The enjoyment for the taste buds was secondary. What pleased Ryan the most was the sharp increase in the "Gluttony Degree" of [Gluttony Heart].

In the battle with the [Higher] One-horned Dragon, in order to recover his physical strength and injuries, including replenishing the "blood energy" of [Holy Relic: Blood Embrace], Ryan consumed too much "Gluttony", causing him to fall to a pitiful level. "3/100", it can be said that the previous accumulation was lost in one day.

But now, looking at the "gluttony level" on the panel that jumped by 1 points every second, he just felt that everything was worth it.

The nutrition contained in the flesh and blood of upper-level monsters is far superior to that of lower-level monsters, and the level of satisfaction with [Gluttony Heart] is not at the same level at all.

After 10 seconds, the "Gluttony Degree" of [Gluttony Heart] reached the level of "100/100". The next moment, Ryan felt an indescribable warm current burst out from his stomach and penetrated his whole body. At the same time, the panel prompts also appeared in front of his eyes.

[[Gluttony] reached "100/100" and completed the first "Gluttony Joy". Based on the food consumed during the period, the following permanent gains were obtained: Special skill [Dragon Helm (Entry)] - Received The damage is permanently reduced by 5% (there is a level judgment, it is only half effective if it is one level higher than the owner, and it is completely invalid if it is two levels higher than the owner). 】

[[Gluttony Hunter (Level 25)] The compatibility is increased by 0.5%, and the spirituality is +[-]! 】

It took several minutes for Ryan to recover from the aftertaste of "gluttony pleasure". The feeling of having his appetite completely satisfied was really unstoppable.

"[Dragon Helm]?"

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Ryan's eyes lit up with joy.

The 5% damage reduction is not much, but it is not too much. At the critical moment, perhaps it is this damage reduction that allows him to resist the enemy's attack one more time, thus turning defeat into victory.

In addition, Ryan found the rating of this special skill very interesting.

Unlike the special skill levels attached to the loot, which are all in the form of "lv.1" and "lv.2", the permanent gain skills brought by "Gluttony Joy" use the same "entry", form of "mastery".

There is no right to say which one of these two methods is better. Maybe it has something to do with the difference between the panel of the main body and the panel of the traveling clone.

Ryan thought about this inconspicuous little thing and didn't pay too much attention to it.

After the "Gluttony Joy", he continued to eat until he had eaten all the grilled steaks and his "Gluttony Level" had reached 30, and then he stopped still.

If possible, he would like to reach the "Gluttony Joy" again. Unfortunately, each monster's flesh and blood can only have a huge bonus when eaten for the first time. If eaten after that, the effect will be greatly reduced. Right now, he has already eaten a lot. If you want to achieve the second "Gluttony Joy", you have to slowly accumulate it, or eat the flesh and blood of other high-level monsters that you have never eaten before.

Lying next to the bonfire, Ryan ate for half an hour before getting up and leaving [Bonfire Point - Fuyuan Outpost].

He planned to explore the Rotten Miasma.

Ryan's current condition is actually not good - the "blood energy" of [Holy Relic·Blood Embrace] is only a pitiful 10 points, and he cannot even manifest the blood sword. The only weapon that can be used is [Great Sword· Fierce Ice Flower], although I feel a little sorry for my old friend when I say this, but [Great Sword· Fierce Ice Flower] can cut down lower monsters, but it is too weak against upper monsters.

Not only that, his current "Gluttony Level" is only "30/100", which is simply not enough to support another battle against high-level monsters.

Even if his condition is this bad, Ryan will continue to explore. He intends to spend his life to find out more about the situation of the Rotten Miasma. It is best to understand more [Higher Level] The information on the Blood Claw Dragon will make adequate preparations for the next crusade.

The note left by the deputy leader of the hunting group made him feel vaguely uneasy.

The situation in the Rotting Miasma might be even stranger than he imagined.

The approaching red sun... traces of the ancient dragon...

Ryan has never forgotten that his ultimate goal in traveling to this isolated island is to find the "anchor point", and all signs indicate that this "anchor point" is likely to be a certain ancient dragon.

The panel said it when introducing "Anchor Point" in the past. "Anchor Point" is just a name. Its real embodiment may be some kind of treasure or some kind of powerful monster.

Ryan is very self-aware.

Now that he has exhausted all his means, he barely managed to defeat a high-level monster. This kind of strength cannot be said to be weak among the hunter group, but it is definitely not the strongest group. Wanting to conquer the ancient dragon with such strength is tantamount to Idiot's dream.

The power of the ancient dragon made even the deputy leader of the hunting group, who was suspected to be above level 20, tremble, but...

If Gu Long is really the "anchor" he must face in the end, he should still try to make some preliminary preparations.

After all, he has many traveling avatars, but many lives.

The strong rancid smell filled his nostrils. Ryan frowned and came to the place where he encountered the bone armored dragon before.

This time, he was extra careful and tried to walk as close to the rock wall covered with gray-white coral plants as possible, walking very slowly.

Living in the miasma, Ryan felt that his lungs were constantly being eroded by the miasma. Fortunately, his improvement in [Physique] allowed him to sustain it for a longer time. It took almost 15 minutes before he felt that his body had reached its limit.

Not daring to neglect, Ryan ate an [Elimination Fruit] and while his body was resisting, he accelerated his pace as much as possible.

As the distance goes deeper, the top of the rock wall that you can see is covered with a strange gray-white fern, scattered with dots of gray particles.

The environment is getting worse...

Ryan's heart was heavy. In such an environment, unless there were enough [Elimination Fruits], it would be impossible to defeat the high-level monsters.

Although there were [Elimination Fruits] growing in the poisonous miasma, the number was not very large. Along the way, Ryan only found two plants and collected only five.

Such a quantity is simply not enough to sustain a long battle.

But it's not without good news.

As the distance goes deeper, the poisonous miasma in the environment begins to become thinner, perhaps approaching an area where the miasma is thin.

Ryan rushed out of the poisonous miasma area before the resistance brought by the [Disinfection Fruit] disappeared. Before he could take a breath, a sharp cry came from the front, followed closely by several animals. A monster flying towards me with nearly three meters of membrane wings.

It looks like a pterosaur, but its size is much smaller, and the panel also gave a timely reminder.

[Carrion Pterosaur: A small pterosaur species that lives in the rotten miasma area and likes to eat carrion. It usually moves in groups and has flexible eating standards. Even if it faces living creatures, it will take the initiative to attack and kill them. Wait for it to decay before eating again. 】

"call……"

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was some kind of special species, but if it was just an ordinary monster...

The silver-blue sword was unsheathed and drew a graceful semicircle in mid-air. The three Rot Winged Dragons that were attacking in parallel had no time to react before they were split into two by the slashing sword.

When the Rot Winged Dragon behind saw this, it was so frightened that it turned around and ran away, fearing that it would be killed if it was too late.

Ryan ignored these escaping Rot Pterosaurs. Ordinary monsters like this did not pose the slightest threat to him now.

He squinted his eyes and looked around, and what he saw was a strange cave composed of a large number of giant bones.

These bones stuck on the ground include skulls, ribs, tailbones... they come in various categories. The only common feature is that they are big. Even the shortest among them is taller than Ryan.

In a daze, Ryan seemed to see many huge monsters coming to this rotten place full of miasma when they were dying, and fell into an endless sleep. The scales and flesh on their bodies rotted bit by bit, and finally only white bones were left on the ground. .

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Ryan looked solemn.

This place gave him the feeling of a monster's tomb.

But why do these huge monsters come to this place one after another before they die?
  Ryan couldn't figure it out.

But he didn't have time to think about it now, because a bloody figure had slowly walked out of the miasma far ahead.

It has a well-proportioned and slender body. There are no scales on the surface of the body. Instead, it looks like bright red muscles exposed after being peeled off. The shoulder height is nearly three meters and the body length is about fifteen meters. Compared with the [upper] One-horned Dragon, The body is much smaller, but it has a pair of dark red sharp claws.

These claws growing from the distal toe are hook-shaped, with three rows of naturally formed serrations on the inside. If a flesh-and-blood body is caught by such a "violent weapon", large pieces of flesh and blood will inevitably be torn off, causing tragic hemorrhage. Phenomenon.

-

[Blood Claw Dragon: [Superior] Fang Dragon Species, one of the overlords of the Rotten Miasma. Its smooth body shape and agility make the Blood Claw Dragon like an invisible killer that comes and goes in the miasma. The unique claw structure of the Bloodclaw will cause creatures scratched by it to fall into a "bleeding state" and bleed profusely. If not treated in time, they will bleed to death.

——You feel heavy pressure! 】    ——

Ryan's heart felt heavy.

Compared to the upright Desert Knight [Upper Level] Unicorn Dragon, the [Upper Level] Bloodclaw Dragon, a brutal assassin who is hidden in the darkness and is agile, poses a greater threat to him.

The fighting style of the great sword has always been to defeat the enemy with strength. When facing enemies with high mobility, it will inevitably have inherent disadvantages.

In the miasma, a ray of scarlet light seemed to flash in the eyes of the [upper] Blood Claw Dragon. The next moment, the miasma surged, and a figure with a strong smell of blood attacked Ryan.

"So fast!"

Ryan was shocked. Although he had seen the speed of the [high-level] Blood Claw Dragon during his last travel, he had relaxed his vigilance at that time. His life was taken away before he could feel it accurately. Now they were facing each other face to face. [ Superior] The burst of speed from the Blood Claw Dragon shocked his heart.

The bloody claws struck Ryan's face. At the critical moment, Ryan put the sword in front of him and rushed forward.

——[Special Sword Skill·Defensive Collision]

"boom!"

The exploding blood light caused the claws of the [upper] Blood Claw Dragon to be slightly raised. Ryan's body was filled with power, and with the help of "blood energy", he slashed out with "a period of energy accumulation" that was completed in an instant.

"Crack-!"

If it were the [Upper Rank] Unicorn Dragon, it could only withstand the sword. However, the extremely agile [Upper Rank] Blood Claw Dragon could lift up another tragic claw before the sword could reach its body, and fight with the lower sword. The silver-blue swords that slashed upward collided.

"Chong!"

A harsh and sour collision sounded, accompanied by exploding sparks.

Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes fell on the cracks that gradually spread in the middle of the sword body of [Big Sword: Fierce Ice Flower].

In the previous battle with the [Superior] Unicorn Dragon, the [Great Sword: Fierce Ice Flower] was irreversibly damaged. The fierce collision now made this low-quality sword no longer able to hold on.

In Ryan's wide eyes, the [Great Sword Fierce Ice Flower] shattered in all directions, and the brutally pressing claws pressed down on Ryan's face.

In the indescribable pain, Ryan's vision suddenly fell into darkness.

"Tear--!"

Several sounds of flesh and blood being torn into pieces were heard, and a few seconds later, the battle came to an end.

……

【Place of sightseeing】

Standing in front of the [Observation Deck] again, Freni rubbed her hands nervously. The fluffy witch hat on her head seemed to be in the same uneasy mood as its owner, and began to sway from side to side.

At the end of the last visit, after exchanging 29 copies of [First-Level Spirituality Enhancement Crystal], Freni only had 1291 "Spiritual Essence" left.

This amount of money may not be too much, but it may not be too much.

If you can find the right opportunity to win the treasure like last time, then "a wave of fat" will not be a dream.

It's just that... Miss Witch, who has been tricked several times, is always inexplicably frightened, fearing that she will be tricked again if she doesn't pay attention.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath and exhaling deeply, Freni patted the big hat on her head and encouraged herself: "Believe in yourself, Freni, you can do it!"

After some self-motivation, the girl at least regained her composure on the surface. She sat in front of the [Observation Deck] and quietly watched today's "Traveller's Fancy Death Daily".

Seeing the familiar mosaic figure in the picture, Miss Witch unconsciously showed a faint smile on her lips.

After not seeing him for a day, she really missed the "Wanderer" a little bit.

Freni didn't have to wait long, and the battle interface quickly entered the screen, which cheered her up and quickly cheered her up.

[The "original heart" traveler encounters a powerful enemy - the [superior] unicorn dragon, and the war is about to break out. 】

[Comparison of combat power between the two camps: Traveler (39) vs [Higher Rank] Unicorn Dragon (41)]

[The amount of investment you currently have [Lingcui: 1292]]

[The ratio of both parties - Traveler: [Higher] Unicorn Dragon = 8.3: 1.3, the minimum investment amount is 100 spirit essence. 】

[You have thirty seconds to invest and place bets...]

Looking at the page displayed in front of her, Freni blinked her bright eyes with a look of surprise in her eyes.

The last time the traveler faced the leader of the male fire dragon, his combat power was only 33. Unexpectedly, she didn't expect that this guy's combat power would increase to 39 after just one day of absence.

After watching it so many times, Freni has a basic understanding of the combat power system of the world in the screen.

0~9 is a level, 10~19 is a level, similarly, 30~39 also belongs to a level, and in the same level, a 1 point difference in combat power will produce a considerable combat power. gap.

But now, the traveler has 39 combat points. Compared with the combat power of 33, the strength has at least doubled.

What did the travelers experience during the last visit I missed?
  Miss Witch couldn't help but think curiously.

Seeing that the countdown was about to end, Freni hesitated.

Although the difference in combat power between the Traveler and the One-horned Dragon is only 2 points, it is 2 points across levels. In this case, the gap in strength between the two sides will be extremely huge.

The huge gap in investment return ratio also illustrates this point.

The huge body of the unicorn dragon in the picture, the extremely strong crest and the huge spiral horn made Freynie feel a little panicked when she saw it, and the prefix "superior", which she had never heard before, also showed that The extraordinaryness of the unicorn dragon.

If converted to his own world, this [high-level] unicorn dragon would be at least a fourth-level terrifying monster, and a traveler with 39 points of combat power would be like a third-level extreme hero professional.

Can the level [-] ultimate defeat a professional who has just entered the level [-]?

At the first and second levels, there are still occasional geniuses who can defeat powerful enemies across levels, but starting from the third level, there is no record of the history of various continental countries.

The gap is really too big...

How to choose?
  The countdown continued to approach the number "0". In the end, Freni gritted her teeth and decided to go all the way to the dark side.

The return from investing in the [Higher Level] Unicorn Dragon is too low. Even if you win, you will only get 30% of the return. This is a bit of wisdom. If you want to redeem the items on the second-level list, you don’t know how long you will have to save. On the contrary, Although investing in Travelers is extremely risky, the rewards are also extremely generous.

Of course, Miss Witch still had some caution and did not choose "stud". Instead, she invested 800 spirit essence and kept 492 to protect her bottom line.

In this way, even if the investment fails this time, there will still be capital to make a comeback next time.

As the girl made her decision, the [Observation Deck] entered the stagnant screen of [In battle...].

……

Ryan slowly opened his eyes. He did not get up, but lay quietly on the stone bed, feeling the tearing pain that remained in his body and never faded away.

"[Higher]... Blood Claw Dragon..."

"Second time..."

"The next time we meet, it will be the end!"

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and then stood up from the stone bed.

At this moment, the land where the sea and the sky meet has become slightly brighter, and the time is almost five o'clock in the morning.

He walked out of the cave and came to the beach, facing the sea breeze, and examined the panel of the main body.

-

Feeling the majestic power in his body, looking at the [Storm Swordsmanship] promoted to the "Mastery" level and the newly acquired special skill [Dragon Helm (Entry)], Ryan had a faint smile in his eyes.

Now, he should have the strength to compete head-on with level [-] hero professionals, right?
