After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 179: Skill promotion, above "master level"!
The world in front of me gradually becomes clear from blur.

Ryan stood up and moved his hands and feet.

Looking at the familiar scenery of the mysterious island in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"My guess was correct."

"In the 'real projection' state, I can still travel."

"This proves from a side perspective that the status of the main hall of the 'Palace of Overturning' is not as good as the [Unknown Ship Sculpture]."

Putting aside his thoughts on this aspect, Ryan glanced at the mast as usual. After seeing that everything was clear, he came to the bonfire and chose to teleport.

[Bonfire Point-Fuyuan Outpost]

When the gathered Mars condensed into a human form, Ryan's body slowly emerged.

He did not rush to find the reclusive dragon man, but left the campfire point and came to the habitat of the "ancient dragon-corpse dragon".

Da Yin had just been promoted to the title not long ago, and he still couldn't control his momentum. There was nothing he could do about it.

Amidst the sound of turbulent airflow, Dayin stretched out his slender side fins and flew happily in front of Ryan.

Ignoring these little guys, Ryan looked up at the cliff above.

——An evolved species of the Red Obsidian Ancient Dragon?

Ryan jumped off Da Yin's back and patted Da Yin's head: "Wait for me here."

This time, without him calling out, the reclusive dragon man wearing a bamboo hat made of dark leaves and vines appeared on the edge of the cliff.

Oh, there were some changes - perhaps stimulated by Dayin's aura, several spirit deer shivered and huddled around the roots of the old tree.

The ancient dragon species itself is a transcendent existence that is superior to countless species.

He could feel that Dayin's aura became more powerful. Obviously, after devouring most of the flesh and blood of the "Ancient Dragon-Corpse Dragon", he got huge benefits. Not only was he stronger, but he also had a deeper layer of power. Evolution, the whole body is filled with a kind of coercion that is similar to the ancient dragon but different.

It's just that compared to when Ryan left yesterday, Da Yin's body has become larger and longer, and the red lines on his body have also undergone subtle changes, becoming smoother.

It doesn't care much about progress, after all, it is making progress every day, but it wants to help its friends.

Ryan made a prank on the name, which made him laugh instead.

After thinking for a long time, Ryan finally made a decision and said: "Dayin, are you willing to fight a battle with me?"

"I need to make it clear in advance that even I am not sure about this battle, but as long as we can win, we can both make unimaginable and huge progress."

So many times when he was in danger, he relied on Ryan to survive, and saved the day, and gained huge benefits from it. But now, when Ryan needs his help, how can it stand by and watch?

Before the reclusive dragon man could ask, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Ryan spoke first.

This means that Dayin has not left this place!

This trust is really a bit heavy.

After saying that, Ryan jumped on Dayin's back.

Shaking his head, Ryan smiled at Dayin: "It's okay. In fact, the danger is not that big. I will try it first. When the final strategy comes, you and I will take action together."

"Let's go."

Because the gray-white miasma covering this place has disappeared, replaced by a misty red mist.

Understanding the solemnity and seriousness in Ryan's eyes, Dayin tilted his head and nodded vigorously without hesitation.

"That crowned shark outside, Da Yin, is my partner."

After feeling Da Yin's current momentum, Ryan made a mental assessment of Da Yin's current strength - when he was conquering the Corpse Dragon, Da Yin was only one star in the crown for the first time. Now, he has almost reached the peak of one star in the crown, and is even far away from it. The two stars in the crown are not very far away.

A huge figure rushed out of the red mist.

Looking at Da Yin's performance, Ryan pursed his lips.

A smile appeared on the corner of Ryan's mouth. Before he could shout, the red mist in front of him began to violently billow and then opened to both sides.

When they saw the familiar "two-legged beast" walking in, they slowly relaxed.

Ryan is no stranger to this kind of mist - when Dayin is suspended in the air, it is this kind of mist that is sprayed out from the air vents on its body.

For a long time, nothing changed in the cave.

The evolved body of Hong Yao can fully utilize the swallowed substances. This characteristic determines that once Dayin has sufficient nutritional energy, it will progress much faster than others imagine.

Seeing this, the smile on Ryan's lips grew stronger, and he reached out and touched Da Yin's smooth head.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, Ryan's eyes lit up.

Of course, being able to evolve so much this time is also related to the fact that it swallowed the flesh and blood of ancient dragons.

Compared to Dayin, who had just mastered the ability to fly yesterday and was even more powerful today, his speed was much faster. Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of the Seclusion Dragon Man's Cave.

His strength has grown so fast that even Ryan is a little envious.

And Dayin nodded obediently.

It's Da Yin.

When it got here, Dayin had to stop. With its size, it couldn't get in at all.

Under his command, one man and one shark quickly headed towards the cave where the reclusive dragon man was.

Hearing this, the reclusive dragon man nodded, his body relaxed a lot, and then said:

"The prophesied blue star..."

"When you come this time, are you prepared to go to the place of end and origin?"

Ryan nodded: "Yes."

On today's mysterious island, except for the unknown "end and origin", no powerful monsters can be found. In this case, if Ryan continues to stay here, there is no room for improvement.

Therefore, no matter how dangerous the "Land of End and Origin" is, he must go.

"That's it, Blue Star, please come with me."

As the sound echoed, the reclusive dragon man jumped down from the cliff above.

It is very short, only 1.5 meters tall, like a stooped old man, but its steps are extremely agile and fast.

Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly and walked out of the cave, calling for Dayin to follow him.

……

After a while, one person, one dragon and one shark arrived at the center of the volcanic area, an area full of crystalline pillars.

What the reclusive dragon man walks is not a path on the surface, but a very hidden road. Without its guidance, Ryan would most likely not be able to find this "shortcut".

Looking at the short figure in front of him, Ryan was a little confused, but after knowing the previous "shortcut", he suppressed it for the time being.

Finally, they stopped in front of a huge cluster of crystal stones.

Huge crystal pillars tens to hundreds of meters high bloom like flowers, which is a spectacular sight.

Ryan has been to this place before, and even jumped up and searched among the gaps in the crystal pillars, but found nothing.

Now, the reclusive dragon man brought him here, indicating that this huge cluster of "crystal flowers" must have something special about it.

After arriving here, the reclusive dragon man stopped for a long time, seeming to be thinking about something, but Ryan did not interrupt, but waited quietly.

After a while, the reclusive dragon man raised his head again and took out from his arms a crystal stone the size of a baby's fist that reflected blurred and colorful light in the sun.

Just when Ryan thought this was some kind of "token" or "key", he saw the reclusive dragon stepping forward, raising its hand, accumulating power, and then the colorful crystal stone was thrown upward by it.

And there is the top of the cave, with a large cluster of crystals similar in size to the "Crystal Flower" below. The moment the colorful crystal touched the crystal pillar at the top of the cave.

"boom!"

A violent explosion occurred.

The sound waves generated by the explosion seemed to fluctuate with a certain frequency. Wherever it passed, the huge "Crystal Flower" at the top of the cave actually fell off and violently collided with the "Crystal Flower" below.

"Rumble--"

For a moment, the smoke and dust carried the crystal fragments and flew in all directions, and the shock wave set off tens of meters high, obscuring everything in sight.

This scene made Ryan a little shocked, but he quickly held up the blood barrier and rushed towards the reclusive dragon man, trying to block the shock wave for it.

As for Dayin, this guy has thick skin and thick flesh, so there is no need to worry at all.

However, Ryan's worries were obviously unnecessary. The Hermit Dragon Man opened a special umbrella-shaped iron product and rotated it at high speed, blocking the incoming shock wave.

Seeing this, Ryan stopped.

When the smoke gradually disappeared, what appeared in front of Ryan's eyes was an extremely strange scene.

Where the "Crystal Flower" originally stood on the ground, a huge deep pit appeared. A large amount of magma continued to flow from the top of the cave into the huge pit, like a waterfall of magma.

Ryan walked to the edge of the giant pit, looked down, and saw that underneath the giant pit, it led to a mysterious underground space.

"Blue Star."

"This is the entrance to the 'Place of End and Origin'."

"Jump down from here, and you will see the origin of everything."

"He is the end and the source of all disasters..."

"The mission of our family from generation to generation is to wait for the arrival of the Blue Star..."

"The blue color comes and finally falls..."

"And my mission has finally been completed..."

"This gift is the last gift we, the dragon clan, give to Blue Star."

The reclusive dragon man stood on the edge of the huge pit and spoke in a hoarse voice.

After speaking, it lowered its head, like a still stone sculpture, and said no more words.

Ryan was startled and quickly walked to the Hermit Dragon Man. However, when he walked there, the life fluctuations on the Hermit Dragon Man's body had completely dimmed.

Ryan was stunned.

The reclusive dragon man is dead?
Why……

Subconsciously, Ryan lowered his head and looked at a spherical bead held in the hand of the reclusive dragon man.

It was only about the size of your thumb and glowed with a hazy white glow.

-

[Dragon Pearl]: The treasure of the Dragon Clan contains incomparable magical power. Those who hold it will receive the blessings of the Dragon Clan.

This Dragonite Pearl has existed for a long time, and its power is deep and restrained. When activated, it requires a huge amount of life force.

Holding this object will increase the level of passive skills related to "Dragon" by one level, which can break through the upper level limit.

(PS: Blue Star, take the blessings of my clan and go to the "place of end and origin" to see the source of everything! We are with you.)
-

Ryan's eyes were dazed.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"A 'blessing' at the cost of life... It's too heavy..."

"Obviously we are not familiar with each other, just because of the so-called 'mission'..."

After a long silence, Ryan raised his hand and took the [Dragon Man's Pearl] from the hands of the reclusive Dragon Man, with an extremely serious tone: "Don't worry."

"Since I bear the name of 'Blue', I will do my best."

[Dragon Pearl] flickered slightly, as if responding to Ryan's oath, an indescribable warmth flowed in his body, and the dormant power gradually revived.

Ryan looked at the prompts on the panel in front of him.

[With the [Dragon Pearl], the special skills [Dragon Armor (Master)] and [Dragon Power (Master)] levels are improved! 】

[[Dragon Armor (Master)]→[Dragon Armor (Master)...]

[[Dragon Power (Master)]→[Dragon Power (Grandmaster)...]

[Dragon Armor (Master/Grandmaster)]: The damage received is permanently reduced by 30% (there is a level judgment. It can still be fully effective if it is one level higher than the owner. It can only take effect three-quarters if it exceeds two levels. If it exceeds three levels, it will still be fully effective. It can only be effective for a quarter of the level, and it will be completely invalid if it exceeds the fourth level) - Blessed by the [Dragon Pearl], it does not affect the difficulty of improving the original skill level.

[Dragon Power (Master/Grandmaster)]: When performing actions, including but not limited to jumping, attacking, blocking, etc., the strength judgment +6 (there is a level judgment, one level higher than the owner can still take full effect, exceeding It is only effective for three-quarters of the level two, only one-fourth of the level is effective after level three, and it is completely invalid after level four) - blessed by the [Dragon Pearl], it does not affect the difficulty of upgrading the original skill level.

-

"Beyond the masters, the name is grandmaster..."

Feeling the powerful power surging within his body, Ryan slowly clenched his fists.

The two skills [Dragon Helm] and [Dragon Power] have increased significantly from "Master" to "Grandmaster".

The damage reduction of [Dragon Helm Armor] has been increased from the original 20% to 30%.

The strength judgment of [Dragon Power] has been increased from the original +4 to +6.

The improvement in the degree of increase is secondary. The key is the qualitative change in the level determination of these two skills.

"call……"

Ryan let out a breath.

He saluted the reclusive dragon man in front of him, then turned around and came to the edge of the giant pit.

"Dayin, let's go down."

Ryan jumped on Da Yin's back, and the latter spewed red mist, jumped down, and dived downwards.

The giant pit is very deep, but fortunately the edges are uneven. Even if you don't have the means to fly, as long as you use good strength, it won't be a problem to fall to the bottom.

After descending for several hundred meters, finally, light appeared in front of us.

"Pfft..."

Approaching the ground, Ryan jumped off Dayin's back and landed on the scalding hot magma. However, with the [Thermal Damage Invalidation] skill, he had no fear of the high temperature of the magma.

He raised his head and looked ahead.

What appeared in front of Ryan's eyes was an extremely wide underground space filled with magma. In the distance, in the center of the magma lake, was a rising platform.

A road composed of countless crystals starts not far in front of Ryan and connects into ladders, leading to the platform, like a "road to an audience."

Ryan said: "Da Yin, wait for me here. If anything goes wrong, go back up there immediately."

Dayin nodded.

It knows that its strength is no match for Ryan. Fighting is not a child's play, let alone a time to show off. What it needs to do is to lurk aside and help Ryan at the critical moment.

After giving instructions to Dayin, Ryan took a deep breath, took steps, and officially embarked on the "road to the audience."
