After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 124 The second-level hidden profession of [Original Sin Pathway]! (Seven thousand words, please subscribe)

The night wind was mixed with wind and sand, blowing quietly, and the stubborn "fireflies" burned out their last lives until it dimmed and ended.

Just like the evil dragon transformed from the boy he once was, he was finally slain by the new boy.

The unparalleled hunter eventually died at the hands of the prey he was planning to hunt, and the prey became a brand new "unparalleled hunter".

After a long while, nourished by the upgraded warm current, Ryan regained some strength and then stood up with his big sword.

Looking at the huge dead creature in front of him under the moonlight, his eyes were filled with sighs.

In this battle, Ryan used all his skills, but he was still no match for the [superior] Thunder Dragon. If it hadn't been for Dayin's help at the last moment, he would have died under the violent red lightning after making the last sword blow.

Turning his head, he looked towards the direction of the oasis lake, where a familiar big silver head was emerging from the lake. He noticed the gaze cast by Ryan. After not seeing each other for a while, Da Yin, who had become even larger, excitedly fished with fish on both sides. The fins flapped against the surface of the lake, causing a lot of splashes.

Ryan smiled slightly and waved vigorously at Dayin.

Then, he came to the body of the [upper] Thunder Dragon and picked up a lightning bug that exuded a silvery light.

-

[Trophy: Super Electric Lightning Insects]: Silver-level trophy, [Higher Level] The source of the Thunder Dragon's power. Different from ordinary electric discharge monsters, the power of the Thunder Dragon comes from their ability to control the Thunder Insects like "insect envoys". Comes with a special skill [Liberation of Power lv.2]: After entering the "seriously injured" state, the ability value will be increased (heart rate +20%, physical consumption reduced by 30%).

-

Looking at the introduction of the new trophies in front of him, Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were filled with ecstasy.

When he just defeated the [high-ranking] Thunder Dragon, he was still thinking that it would be great if he also had a residual blood burst skill like "Red Glory Violence". Unexpectedly, this time, his dream came true!

Special skill [Liberation of Power], when "seriously injured", the heart rate will be greatly increased, and the physical consumption will be greatly reduced.

Speaking of the heart rate, Ryan was a little regretful. During the previous battle with the [Superior] Thunder Dragon, he did not trigger it once. Of course, this is not surprising. After all, the permanent heart rate brought by [Flaw lv.2] is only 10%, and he only swung 6 swords in total during the battle with the [high-level] Thunder Dragon.

The heart rate is still too low.

But with [Liberation of Power], everything will be completely different.

20% awareness rate and 30% reduction in physical strength consumption, giving him a 30% chance of triggering double damage every time he swings the sword!

As for the "serious injury" condition of the prefix, this is not a problem at all for Ryan.

Normal blood loss can be considered a minor injury at best, but a large amount of blood loss will undoubtedly be considered a serious injury, and blood loss is undoubtedly a common occurrence for Ryan.

Even in his prime state, he only needs to summon a "blood core" and then consume his own blood to replenish his "blood energy". Soon, he will be in a "severely injured" state due to excessive blood loss.

Thinking about it this way, I feel inexplicably a little sad...

In the battle with the [Superior] Thunder Dragon, Ryan was in a "seriously injured" state at the last moment.

Therefore, the special skill [Liberation of Power] is a perfect match for Ryan!

It can be said that with [Trophy: Super Electric Lightning Bug], the probability of Ryan's comeback will be greatly increased: the enemies who fight him will be horrified to find out how this guy becomes "more and more disabled". The more powerful the fight!

"Very good, from now on I will call the 'liberation of power' state my 'second stage'."

According to the agreed-upon settings, there must be more than one stage for a boss to be arranged!

And Ryan has also taken a solid and powerful step on the road to becoming the big boss.

After checking the attributes of the trophies, Ryan turned his attention to the panel. After defeating the [high-level] Thunder Dragon, his level was improved again.

-

[Level]: 13 (88%) → 14 (34%)

[Spiritual value]: 272635→422635

[Spirituality]: 7.5

【Physique】：76.69→98.65

-

powerful!

Incomparably powerful!

With a physique that is almost a hundred times that of an ordinary person, Ryan feels like he can blow everything up.

Of course, he understood that this was just an illusion caused by his [Physique] growing too fast and unable to fully control it for a while.

But there is no doubt that with a hundred times the physique, if it is in the main body, there is no problem in defeating the fourth-level professional. As for whether it can defeat the fifth-level legend, it is hard to say.

After all, Ryan has never witnessed the power of the fifth-level legend with his own eyes, so he cannot make a comparison.

Looking at [Spirituality], which was less than one-tenth of [Physical] on the panel, a look of contemplation appeared in Ryan's eyes - although there was no inevitable connection between physical fitness and spirituality, he still felt that these two It is better if the difference cannot be too large.

Fortunately, right now, he does not have the means to improve his [spirituality].

Looking at the body of the [upper] Thunder Dragon in front of him, Ryan grinned slightly.

I wonder what the steak will taste like after "electrotherapy" when grilled?

Of course, before you can taste the "joy", you still need to collect some materials.

After a while, Ryan, who had finished his work, used the space ring to move back and forth, transporting most of the flesh and blood of the [upper] Thunder Dragon to the oasis lake. Looking at Da Yin on the lake shore, whose eyes were already full of impatient eyes, he smiled. laugh:

"Eat, eat, these are all prepared for you."

Upon hearing this, Dayin was so happy that he patted the water, quickly jumped out, and lay down on the shore to enjoy his meal.

[Higher Level] The Thunder Dragon has a lot of flesh and blood, and is rich in nutrients. Even a large silver can't eat it in a short time.

While Dayin was eating, Ryan set up a campfire grill and grilled "Thunder Dragon Steak" while observing Dayin's changes.

Under the moonlight and bonfire, Da Yin's body length reached more than 20 meters. Compared with the last time we were separated, it had grown greatly.

What changed even more than his body shape were the lines on Da Yin’s body. The red lines on its body used to be in an irregular grid shape, but now they have turned into radial lines evenly divided into two parts around the fins on both sides. The concentrated end of these radial red lines is at the mouth of Dayin, which seems to be for Physical evolution through enhanced breathing?

Ryan's guess is not without foundation.

There is no doubt that the [high level] Thunder Dragon in "Red Lightning State" is powerful, but Dayin can defeat it with just one breath. Although it is suspected of being a sneak attack, it is absolutely impossible if he does not have enough power. make it happen.

The previous Dayin would not have been able to do this.

"Red Evolution" is not the end, but more like a new starting point. What is the direction of its final evolution? It seems to be closely related to the wishes and opportunities of the evolved body?

The "cracking" bonfire lit up Ryan's eyes.

After a moment, he chuckled.

No matter what happens with "Hongyao Evolution", at least for now, it's not a bad thing, so that's good.

Put the grilled "Thunder Dragon Steak" into your mouth, and your taste buds will be filled with the delicious taste in an instant.

"Thunder Dragon Steak", as the name suggests, has a natural spiciness in the mouth, which seems to be related to the electric charge in the flesh and blood that has not completely faded away, making people unable to stop after taking one bite.

It wasn't until he had eaten a large piece of "Thunder Dragon Steak" that Ryan lay down on the ground next to the lake with satisfaction.

In front of his eyes, a large number of panel prompts emerged.

[[Gluttony] reached "100/100" and completed the fourth "Gluttony Joy". Based on the food consumed during the period, the following permanent gains were obtained: Special skill [Dragon Armor (Master)] - Received The damage is permanently reduced by 20% (there is a level judgment, only three-quarters of the effect is effective if it is one level higher than the owner, only one-quarter is effective if it is two levels higher than the owner, and it is completely invalid if it is three levels higher). 】

[[Gluttony Hunter (Level 25)] The compatibility is increased by 100%, currently 3.0%, and the spirituality is + (total)! 】

[Having completed "Gluttony Joy" four times, [Gluttony Hunter (First Level)] compatibility reaches 100%... Determining... After completing the following conditions, you can be promoted to the second level hidden profession - [Happiness Apostle]: 】

[1. Basic attributes: [Spirituality] ≥ 5.0, [Physique] ≥ 5.0 (Completed)]

[2. Pleasure ritual: In a grand occasion, completing an act of "pleasure" recognized by more than a hundred people - the desire for desire and the pursuit of excitement are the most extreme manifestations of "pleasure". (undone)】

-

Until he read the last prompt, Ryan still had a look of surprise in his eyes.

There was a lot of information and he needed to summarize it one by one.

First, there are the gains that have been made.

With his class compatibility reaching 100%, he gets a massive extra bonus of 1.5 to his spirituality.

When the career compatibility is 75%, the additional bonus is only 1.5. When it reaches 100%, it doubles to 3.0!

This made his traveling clone's [Spirituality] jump to 9.0, and his main body's Spirituality also reached 7.8.

With only the last 1.0 of spirituality left, the traveling clone can meet the prerequisites for using the great sword "True Charged Slash".

Ryan has longed for that shocking sword that cut off the waves and divided the sea.

Secondly, there is the improvement of the level of [Dragon Helm]. This was the first time Ryan had seen the "Master" level skill level, and its effects also surprised him.

Although the damage reduction range of this special skill is only increased from 15% to 20%, this is not the key. The key point is the "personality" of this skill.

At the "Mastery" level, [Dragon Armor] will only be half effective against enemies that are beyond one level. If it is beyond two levels, it will be completely ineffective.

But now, the "Master" level [Dragon Helm] can not only be effective for three quarters when facing enemies beyond one level, but can still be effective for one quarter even when facing enemies beyond two levels. Only It will be completely ineffective only when facing enemies that are three levels beyond itself.

The gap between them is too huge.

It is a skill worthy of the name "Master", and its effect is extremely powerful.

Finally, there is the biggest and most important harvest—information about the second-level hidden profession of [Original Sin Pathway]!

According to the prompts on the panel when taking up the job of "Gluttony Hunter (First Level)", he only needs to complete "Gluttony Joy" four times before he can qualify for promotion to the second level.

Now, the panel has also completely listed the conditions required to take up the second-level profession of [Original Sin Path].

First, the most basic attribute requirements, [Physique] and [Spirituality] must exceed 5.0, which Ryan has already exceeded. Although he achieved it so easily, in fact, it is not easy to achieve this requirement.

"Gluttony Hunter (Level 1.5)" will gain 100 spirituality upon taking up the job. If the career compatibility is 3.0%, he will gain another 0.5 spirituality. The remaining spirituality will have to be figured out by the employed person. It should be noted that every item or method that enhances spirituality is extremely cherished.

As for the physical fitness of 5.0, it is even more difficult to achieve.

"Gluttony Hunter" does not bring any [physical] bonus at all in the process of professional integration. In other words, most of the physical growth requires the job seeker to find a way by himself. The difficulty is not to say that it is sky-high. Across the sea.

Ryan is very suspicious, on what conditions did the designer of [Original Sin Pathway] (if it existed) design such a career advancement path?

Except for non-human races who are born with strong physical bodies, can humans really meet such physical requirements?

Shaking his head, Ryan did not dwell too much on this point.

His thoughts were mainly focused on the second condition for career advancement.

——"Pleasurable Ritual."

The second-level hidden occupation name of "Original Sin Path" is [Apostle of Joy]. From the occupation name, Ryan made some simple guesses.

Among the original sins, the only one that most closely matches the word "pleasure" is "lust".

If we think about it from this point of view, in a grand occasion, a "happy" act that was recognized by more than a hundred people...

Just thinking of that scene made Ryan's scalp numb.

Is this too much fun? ! Moreover, it needs to be approved by more than a hundred people?

How "happy" must it be to be recognized by so many people!

"Whoosh..."

Ryan took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

After thinking about it carefully, he discovered that his understanding of the "pleasure ritual" might be somewhat biased.

Although "lust", one of the original sins, is named "lust", the most correct understanding of "lust" is also clearly marked on the panel:

The thirst for desire, the extreme pursuit of excitement.

"Luxury" is just the simplest and most straightforward expression of desire.

In fact, if it turns into some kind of extreme stimulation, it is also a category of "pleasure".

If you think so, then there are too many types of "pleasure rituals" that can be performed.

Of course, Ryan still has no clue as to how to hold the ceremony, and he needs to figure it out later.

After summing up the harvest, Ryan turned his head and looked at Dayin aside.

At this moment, Dayin was lying on his back on the shore with a "potbellied" belly. Next to him, there were only piles of bones.

There were not many bones, and most of them were collected by Ryan before feeding them to Dayin. You must know that the bones of high-level monsters are excellent forging materials.

One person and one shark looked at each other, and they all saw the "satisfaction" in each other's eyes.

The night wind had a touch of coldness and felt quite comfortable on my body.

Ryan looked at Dayin, smiled and said, "Thank you this time."

"But how did you swim to this oasis lake?"

"This place is quite far away from the sea outside the island."

Dayin blinked innocently, drew a simple circle with the fin hanging on the ground, and then drew a straight line from outside the circle to inside the circle.

"What you mean is that you swam over from the branch of the undersea channel that entered the inner area last time?"

Dayin nodded excitedly.

Seeing this, Ryan thought thoughtfully: "It seems that there are underwater passages extending in all directions under this isolated island."

"If you have a chance, you can let Dayin take him down and take a look."

Of course, Ryan would not go to the bottom of the sea easily unless he had to.

Under the sea water, his strength is ten thousand, and the risk factor is too high. Even with Dayin's escort, it is still too dangerous.

The "Pirate (Level 1)" profession's "Water Warfare Specialization" skill only extends his underwater breathing time and swimming speed, and has no real effect. After a brief communication with Dayin, Ryan, who felt that he had almost eaten, stood up like a carp, while Dayin on the side also rolled his body into the lake water, revealing a big smooth shark head, and looked at Ryan silently .

"what……"

After stretching his muscles, Ryan looked at Dayin in the lake: "It's getting late, I'm going back to rest. What about you, what are your plans in the future?"

Shark dancing.jpg

"You mean, you are going to continue going deep into the underwater passage. There is something faintly attracting you there..."

Ryan rubbed his chin and nodded slightly: "That's okay. Your current strength can be considered a 'high-level' one. Although it's just a step forward, I don't need to worry too much about safety."

"Go."

"If you encounter any trouble, you can ask me for help in the same way as last time. After I see it, I will go to the old place to find you as soon as possible."

The way Lane puts it is as a "letter for help."

Dayin nodded vigorously and splashed a large amount of water.

After looking at Ryan reluctantly, its head gradually sank to the bottom of the water, leaving only the fins with red obsidian patterns on the surface of the water, and continued to move away.

Ryan looked away.

His relationship with Dayin is pure.

Both parties will help each other within their capabilities, and when everything is over, they will go their own ways.

There is a feeling that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

Although it felt a bit wrong to describe it this way, Ryan couldn't think of any more suitable words for a while.

After bidding farewell to Dayin, he simply packed up and headed back.

After returning to [Bonfire Point-Fuyuan Outpost] smoothly, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief as he sat cross-legged next to the warm campfire.

He gained a lot from this trip, but he also went through a hard battle for it. The physical exertion was secondary. The key was that the mental fatigue was difficult to relieve and he needed to take a good rest.

It's time to end this travel trip.

As for the "Roaring Black Tiger", I can only wait until my next travel trip to find it.

"Speaking of which, I haven't returned home so comfortably several times."

This idea came to Ryan's mind, and he was immediately amused by it.

Shaking his head, he reached out and touched the bonfire. As a large number of sparks escaped, his body turned into countless tiny fire spots and disappeared in place.

……

【Place of sightseeing】

Freni, who was sitting in front of the [Observation Deck], squinted her eyes, even the corners of her eyes were smiling.

Looking at the [Spiritual Essence: 19023] she now possesses, the tip of the fluffy witch hat on her head stood up with joy.

It must be said that she was very lucky tonight, as her previous two investments in Travelers had paid off handsomely.

Among them, the most thrilling one for Freni was the first battle tonight between the Travelers - the fierce battle with the [Superior] Blood Claw Dragon.

The ratio of the combat power of the Traveler and the [higher] Blood Claw Dragon is 41 and 43 respectively.

The ratio of return on investment is 1.2:8.

Although the traveler's combat effectiveness has increased by 1 point compared to last time, judging from the return on investment ratio, the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides is still very obvious.

If you were a normal person, you would definitely choose to invest in the [high-level] Blood Claw Dragon.

But Freni has experienced so many "beatings" and has already figured out the way to it - sometimes, the more likely the traveler is to lose the battle, the more likely the traveler is to win.

Therefore, Miss Witch cast 2000 soul essences on the traveler without hesitation.

In fact, there is another reason for this choice: the reward for investing in the [high-level] Blood Claw Dragon is too low, and after the traveler loses, this tour will also end. In this case, it is better to "take a leap of faith" ".

After all, high risks lead to high returns!

Of course, that's what he said, but Freni, who had spent a lot of money, still clenched her fists nervously throughout the whole process.

And this nervous emotion reached its peak when the word [Gu Long] appeared in the [Battle Record] when she was watching it.

Although it is not clear what the word [Ancient Dragon] means, from the description of the battle record, it can be seen that the [Superior] Blood Claw Dragon was beaten to death with one blow. The strength of [Ancient Dragon] is far superior to that of the Traveling above those and superior monsters.

A long-lost sense of familiarity flooded into her heart, and Freni still clearly remembered the last time she invested, when a third monster entered the game and it ended up being a "tie".

No! Absolutely not this kind of result!

Maybe he heard the pleading of the poor witch lady.

After going through some twists and turns, the Travelers finally attacked the [upper-level] Blood Claw Dragon who was seriously injured by the ancient dragon and was on the verge of death, and finally won.

Seeing the four words "Investment Successful" at the end of [Battle Record], Freni breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did she realize that she had been holding her breath for several minutes because she was too nervous, and she almost suffered from hypoxia.

As for the second battle that the Traveler just ended, there is no need to go into details.

It was a "Scythe Blade General" with a combat power lower than that of the Traveler, only 39, and a big crab. This was also the first time Freni saw that the return ratio of investing in the Traveler was lower than that of a monster.

Without hesitation, she directly threw 10000 of the spiritual essence she won on the traveler. The reason why she didn't throw it all in was, of course, because even if she was "%" sure, there was still a little bit out of control. Unexpected factors may occur, so be prepared.

The battle ended quickly. Without any surprises, the Traveler won, and Freni's 10000 spiritual essences became 12000 spiritual essences, bringing the number of spiritual essences on hand to a terrifying 19023.

This was the first time that Miss Witch had such a huge sum of money, and she was so happy that her eyes sparkled.

Just as Freni was planning how to use this "huge sum of money", the [Viewing Stand] in front of her entered the battle interface again.

So fast? !

Freni was stunned for a moment. My dear traveler had just finished defeating General Sickle this time and immediately encountered the next enemy.

As she turned her gaze to the specific combat interface, the prompts that came into her eyes made her expression become serious.

-

[The "original heart" traveler encounters a powerful enemy - the [Superior] Thunder Dragon, and the war is about to break out. 】

[Comparison of combat power between the two camps: Traveler (42) vs [Higher Rank] Thunder Dragon (45)]

[The amount of investment you currently have [Lingcui: 19032]]

[The ratio of both parties - Traveler: [Higher] Thunder Dragon = 9.9: 1.01, the minimum investment amount is 100 spirit essence. 】

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

-

Freni couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen such a disparity in return on investment.

9.9:1.01

A gap of nearly ten times means that the possibility of the Traveler winning is extremely slim.

Compared with the [high-ranking] Blood Claw Dragon, the [high-ranking] Thunder Dragon is only 2 points higher in terms of combat power data, but Freni knows very well that the strength cannot be compared like this.

At the level of more than forty combat effectiveness, every bit of combat effectiveness represents a considerable gap in strength.

Based on Freni’s experience of many visits, she made the following inferences:

40~43 belongs to the first level, 44~46 belongs to the second level, and 47~49 belongs to the third level.

In other words, there is at least a small gap between 45 points of combat effectiveness and 43 points of combat effectiveness.

The countdown is getting closer to zero.

Freni took a deep breath, raised her hand tremblingly, and invested in a certain direction.

……

Beaches on the outlying islands and inside caves.

Ryan slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the surging and turbulent power in his body, a heartfelt smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

[Spirituality]: 5.3→7.8

【Physique】：18.44→23.03

Compared with before entering the place he traveled, he has made great progress in both [spirituality] and [physical].

The growth of these two attributes has also increased his overall strength significantly.

"Now, even if the outlying island falls into chaos, I have some confidence in protecting myself and taking advantage of the fire."

Ryan whispered to himself, and then he stood up and walked out of the cave.

At this moment, on the distant skyline, the rising sun has just emerged, spreading countless red-gold rays of light all over the world.

These rays of light passed through a long distance and fell in the center of Santos City. The sacred scale, the "artifact" that symbolized the supreme divine power, refracted the gorgeous golden light.

"Today is the 'Day of Fengxing'..."

Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The "undercurrent" under the calm sea, no matter how deeply hidden it is, should have surfaced today.

"According to the information, the 'sacred ceremony' will be performed at twelve o'clock noon..."

Just as Ryan was thinking about it secretly, his eyes suddenly moved slightly and looked at the entrances of Freni and Cecilia.

As the door barrier disappeared, the girl's flowing long skirt and fluffy blue and white gradient hat came into view.

"Good morning, Captain."

"Good morning, Mr. Lane."

Ryan blinked as he looked at Freni who sat down next to her, hugging her knees and looking at the rising sun.

Miss Witch seems a little unhappy today?

Ryan calmly turned his gaze to Cecilia, who was wearing silver chain armor and had a meticulous expression.

The latter responded with a slight shake of his head.

Obviously, Miss Wolf Girl was also wondering at this moment why her "Princess" suddenly became depressed.

Since he couldn't get an answer, Ryan stopped thinking about it.

He took out various utensils from the space ring and began to prepare today's breakfast.

"Gulu gulu..."

Not long after, scalding hot bubbles began to appear in the iron pot, and various brightly colored ingredients could be seen tumbling inside.

The alluring fragrance brought Freni out of her daze.

Just thinking about the outcome of the battle made her a little depressed.

In the end, Miss Witch couldn't hold back and invested 1000 souls in the traveler.

The huge disparity made her, who had always been bold, dare not invest too much.

But the final result of the battle made her heart ache.

With a nearly ten-fold difference in investment return ratio, Traveler actually defeated the [high-ranking] Thunder Dragon.

The 1000 spiritual essences invested by Freni also turned into 9900 spiritual essences.

But this result was even more difficult for Freni to accept than the failure of the investment.

She regrets it!

If she had known this would be the case, she would have thrown away 10000, no, 15000 soul essence!

Unfortunately, the battle is over and everything is irreversible.

Thinking of the huge amount of spiritual essence being lost from her hands, Miss Witch felt heartbroken.

pain!It hurts so much!

Next time, no matter what, vote for Traveler!

I must have absolute confidence in my dear travelers.

"call……"

Freni breathed a sigh of relief and gradually adjusted her mood. She walked to the iron pot and smelled the alluring fragrance, and her depressed mood was greatly relieved.

Feeling the girl's emotional recovery, Ryan also had a faint smile on his face.

Just as he was about to serve the girl soup, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

Because, he suddenly felt the call of [Overturning the Mask]!

-

(Thanks to the boss "Emerald Pokémon" for the reward!)
