Chapter 1717 Unblocking

As Qin Ran's figure fell, the core of the shining [Philosopher's Stone] paused slightly.

Then, an almost blinding light burst out.

As he breathed, the core of the [Philosopher's Stone] became like a small sun.

In the endless light, a hymn-like recitation suddenly sounded——

"Knowledge is like a ladder. If you walk on it, you will reach the top!"

"Life is like a gem, embedded in it, it will shine brightly!"

"Wealth is like a mountain stone. When you hold it in your arms, it will be heavy!"

"Destiny is like floating catkins, swept by the wind, it will be unpredictable!"

"you……"

"What is needed?"

The reciting sound was very loud, like thunder, and it attracted Qin Ran's attention as soon as it appeared.

However, soon, Kieran's attention was shrouded in places where the light could not shine.

Behind him!

Bathed in the radiance of the core of the [Philosopher's Stone], a shadow appeared behind him.

Under the light, the shadows become deeper and thicker.

As black as ink.

It also flows and twists like ink.

"Knowledge is the key to death!"

"Life is the dry stone at your feet!"

"Wealth is the inner treasure!"

"Destiny is a fool of the superior!"

"You saw me, naturally...it's up to you!"

Under Kieran's gaze, his shadow seemed to come alive, and his low murmurs kept echoing in his ears. Kieran's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood motionless, with light on one side and darkness on the other.

The sound grew louder in the light.

The sounds in the shadows grew weirder.

But this did not affect Qin Ran at all.

His strong mental power allowed him to ignore these.

He carefully examined and observed the differences in the core of the [Philosopher's Stone].

Such inspection and observation seemed to arouse dissatisfaction from two voices.

In the light, the sense of oppression was like a rock trying to press down on Kieran's body.

In the shadow, the cold feeling was like a sword pressing against Kieran's throat.

uncomfortable.

It can even be said to be uncomfortable.

It was a very intuitive feeling that made Qin Ran frown. The force in his body moved slightly, and the aura of 'Gluttony' suddenly appeared.

Suddenly, the light solidified and the shadows froze.

Then, like rabbits encountering a ferocious beast in the wilderness, the two retreated.

The core of [Philosopher's Stone] is still the core of [Philosopher's Stone].

Even more urging.

Everything before seemed like nothing had happened.

And only Qin Ran knew what happened.

Some small measures.

Or, to be precise, some kind of defense mechanism.

It may be that the core of [Philosopher's Stone] comes with it.

It is also possible that Victor added it later.

However, no matter which one it is, it is dangerous.

Kieran was certain that any 'responder' would not end well.

As for what will happen if you answer the question?

Sorry, he didn't want to find out.

He prefers to use his own way to solve the problems at hand rather than stepping into the opponent's home court.

Therefore, when Kieran pinched the core of the [Philosopher's Stone], the aura of 'Gluttony' appeared again.

This time, a 'light spot' sprang out from the core of the shining [Philosopher's Stone] and fled towards the distance. However, before it could fly far, it was swallowed by 'Gluttony'.

There is no doubt that this is a stress device set up by Victor.

tasty.

The five major sources of power in Qin Ran's body, which were already surging, once again increased at an exaggerated speed.

It’s still the ‘basic’ level.

Just as Qin Ran guessed, even if he reached the limit of his body at this moment, the five major sources of power still showed no signs of 'promotion', as if they were locked by chains in the void.

Moreover, it seemed that he sensed the changes in Qin Ran's body, and the void appeared again.

Kieran raised his head and saw the stone door.

The chains around him kept flashing.

He raised his hand again and approached the flickering chain.

After grabbing one casually, that dangerous feeling appeared again.

Just like in the memory: it contains a fatal crisis!

"Is this your plan?"

Qin Ran loosened the chain, looked at the stone 'door' again, and his tone suddenly became relaxed.

This was a rare moment of relief for Kieran after entering the dungeon world in front of him.

Because, he finally found a hint of the purpose of the 'broker'.

That’s right, it’s the ‘broker’!

When facing the 'malicious wind', Qin Ran was sure that the other party was sent by the 'broker', or at least had a considerable relationship with the 'broker'.

Because, apart from the 'broker', Qin Ran could not think of anyone else who could send such a dead soldier.

Therefore, after entering here, Qin Ran was full of vigilance.

He didn't think that the 'broker' had spent such a high price without any purpose, which was to let him enjoy the 'only' copy world.

There must be a secret here!

And this secret has something that can help the 'broker'.

For example: further ‘unlocking’ the seal.

Or is it……

Push open the stone door.

Of course, these are not the work of a 'broker'.

The other party was very powerful, Qin Ran admitted this, but the other party was not to the extent of ignoring the rules of a huge city.

However, the other party is cunning.

If you make a little use of the rules of the huge city, the other party will definitely not mind.

And if you can get rid of him as an 'eyesore' when using this rule, that would be even better.

Moreover, the other party is quite sure to do this!

After all, according to normal thinking, after removing the chains on the body, one's attention will naturally notice the flickering chains around him and the stone door.

Even if they have a sense of crisis in their hearts, most people will give it a try.

Even timid and cautious people have the idea of ​​​​"try it a little bit and quit if it doesn't work."

But such an attempt will inevitably bring disaster!

Kieran trusted his intuition very much.

Likewise, he also believed in his own strength.

Before his strength was completely unblocked, the flickering chains brought a sense of crisis, which he fully recognized. But as his strength was unblocked step by step and almost returned to its peak, this sense of crisis was still there. Qin However, there was already a trace of doubt in my heart.

At his peak, he will also face fatal crises.

The existence of such a crisis is at least level VI+, or even level VII.

And everything he saw at this moment, even if it was as powerful as the three kings, was only IV to V.

Of course, it does not rule out that there are some unknown existences hidden in it.

but!

That is the copy world we are in at the moment.

It's not a seal within his body.

Some of the 'boundaries' that sealed his skills and talents reached level VI+, or even level VII, Kieran just thought about it.

He didn't think the giant city would overestimate him so much.

What's more, in fact, the seal this time is not complete enough: the spiritual attributes have reached level V, the contract power of the high-ranking evil spirit of the contracted follower has exceeded the upper limit, the power of the "Sword of Dawn" and "Watcher" has exceeded the limit, etc., which all show that the seal The limit is around level V, and does not exceed this category.

Therefore, Qin Ran was confused.

His instincts don't lie.

The seal also exists.

So……

Where does the danger come from?

When this question appeared in Kieran's heart, he subconsciously thought of the 'wind of malice' and how he entered this unique world.

He only got the chance to enter here after killing the 'malicious intruder'!

With this reminder, a very bold guess immediately flashed through Qin Ran's mind: What if those flashing chains and stone doors were not seals, but to protect him?

After this bold guess appeared, it was like a spreading flood, causing Kieran's thinking to completely spread.

It looks like a seal, but it's actually protection.

Protect him, an outsider, from being targeted by the ‘outside world’!

Only danger from the outside can make him feel a fatal crisis.

Therefore, once he opens the 'lock' and 'door' of protection, he will be openly exposed to everyone in the world in front of him.

What kind of scene would that be?

Kieran's scalp felt numb just thinking about it.

Of course!

Having made such a guess, Kieran still needed some confirmation.

He needs to find the true sealing position of his skills, titles, and talents.

He had some guesses about the specific location.

But if he wants to lock in, he needs some help.

Qin Ran looked at the core of the [Philosopher's Stone].

"At the expense of some of the surrounding equipment and props, I hope to see a location where my abilities are sealed."

Qin Ran thought carefully about his words.

He avoided the appearance of words such as skills, titles, talents, etc.

Just instinctive caution.

Buzz!

[Philosopher's Stone] The core trembled slightly.

After more than a dozen pieces of equipment and props disappeared around him, Qin Ran saw his own 'skeleton'.

Complete body skeleton.

On his bones, the originally imprinted 'secret text' was bound by chains as thin as hair. Although it did not affect his movements, it restricted his extraordinary abilities.

Then, there's the heart.

There are similar chains on the two hearts.

One of them spread out and wrapped around his left hand.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ran's lips curled up.

He confirmed his suspicion.

Those empty chains and gates are not seals to him.

As for what’s next?

Then it becomes very simple.

"I used some of my equipment and props at the expense. I hope to unlock the seal on my bones!"

Kieran said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding equipment and props began to disappear in pieces.

Correspondingly, system prompts continue to appear.

[Skills Unarmed Fighting. Extraordinary Leg Fighting Unlocked! 】

[Skill Gunpowder Weapons and Light Firearms Unlocked! 】

[Skill tracking unlocked! 】

[Skill dodge unblocked! 】

[Skill Stealth Unblocked! 】

…

System prompts came one after another, and Kieran could see the secret text on his bones lighting up again, and they once again nourished the flesh and blood around him.

Moreover, without the original chaos and darkness, it reached its best state almost instantly.

call! call!

Kieran took a few deep breaths, feeling the discomfort that had just arisen in his body. After it quickly disappeared, his eyes looked at the two hearts bound by chains.

There is no doubt that this is the source of the five great sources of power.

As long as he is unlocked, he can truly return to his peak condition.

only……

Can quantitative changes really not lead to qualitative changes?

Feeling that the five sources of power at the 'basic' level in his body were getting stronger and stronger, Qin Ran hesitated a little and was ready to give it a try.

For Kieran, he firmly believed that quantitative changes could lead to qualitative changes.

If there is no qualitative change, it only means that the ‘quantity’ is not enough!

Just like he is now!

Quantity, enough.

But the body cannot accommodate more quantity and cannot achieve qualitative change.

Then naturally make the body stronger!

"Use the surrounding equipment and props at the expense of improving my physique to the limit!"

Qin Ran said clearly.

Since the equipment and props cannot be brought out of the dungeon world, it is natural to maximize the benefits. Seeing the equipment and props disappearing in pieces, under Kieran's perception, his body began to strengthen rapidly.

[Acquire the power of prayer, constitution III (strong) → IV (weak)]

[Acquire the power of prayer, constitution IV (weak) → IV (normal)]

[Acquire the power of prayer, constitution IV (normal) → IV (strong)]

…

To become stronger at a large level, almost every time the system prompt appears, dozens of equipment and props will disappear. And at the last prompt, the legendary and entry-level props from the three kings' private treasury are disappearing one by one. It turned into smoke and was absorbed into the core of the [Philosopher's Stone], but the absorption did not stop.

The brilliance at the core of the [Philosopher's Stone] keeps flashing.

Not even close!

Without hesitation, Kieran used the [Sharp Standard Sword], [Gordo's Chain], [Akka's Blade (Fragment)], [Healing Potion (Witch Gu)], [Soul Storage Bracelet] and [Burning of Blades] and other equipment and props that cannot be taken out were thrown in.

Next, there is the [Philosopher's Stone (Fragment)].

However, this did not allow the core of [Philosopher's Stone] to react as it should.

Undoubtedly, it is still not enough.

Qin Ran frowned.

He still has some props on him at the moment.

Apart from the equipment and props that can be taken out, there are only those that are very likely to be used, such as the [Sioudi Stone (Complete)].

After a slight hesitation, Qin Ran took out [Goethe's Blade] and [Red Moon].

When these two weapons with quality II and rare items with quality IV were put into it, the core light of the [Philosopher's Stone] exploded.

[Acquire the power of prayer, constitution IV (strong) → V (weak)]

…

Boom, boom!

When his physique reached V, Qin Ran's two hearts began to beat powerfully.

The chains that bound him could barely restrain his beating.

They could only cling firmly to Kieran's heart, preventing his heart from escaping from their shackles.

At this time, 'Gluttony' felt the change in his brother for the first time. It no longer suppressed its own conversion speed, but instead began to use its best efforts to convert the energy it had swallowed.

In an instant, the five sources of power at the basic level surged.

In just two or three breaths, Kieran exceeded Kieran's original physical limit and began to approach his current physical limit.

Qin Ran paid close attention to all this.

He was prepared to fail.

But secretly looking forward to success.

And everything is developing for the better.

When the five major sources of power reach the limit of the V-level body at this moment.

Some wonderful changes began.

They begin to advance automatically!

Quantitative changes are beginning to cause qualitative changes!

The corners of Kieran's tightly pursed lips curled up.

In his field of vision, the chains binding the two hearts broke with a snap.
