Chapter 219 [Heart of the Dragon] The Black Knights Are Coming!

In the tree hole in the snow forest, Ryan finished eating the delicious roasted dragon steak in his hand, his eyebrows and eyes were full of satisfaction.

It must be said that the steak of the forbidden monster is delicious. Of course, the premise is that it requires special processing techniques and a good mouth. Ordinary people can't even bite it.

The warm current surged in his body, and Ryan looked at the effect of the food war.

—— [Food War·Happiness of the Horned Dragon]: The permafrost monster is roaring, strength +40%, and any attack will cause the enemy to fall into the negative state of "vulnerable", and the damage received is +10%.

"It's a pity that the added attribute is not speed... But in certain circumstances, it may have an unexpected effect."

Ryan was thoughtful.

He prefers the speed-added [Food War], after all, speed is the truth, but facing the permafrost monster with thick skin and flesh, difficult to break defense and slow speed, the food war with added strength may have a good effect.

Without thinking too much about this, Ryan looked at his panel.

After defeating the [Taboo] Horned Dragon, in addition to the spoils, experience points and materials, the [Power Servant] skill of the [King of Sloth] has also greatly improved.

Thanks to the strength of the [Taboo] Horned Dragon, after the successful defeat, the construction progress of the [Power Servant] has reached the single upper limit, that is, 25%.

——

[You have killed the "[Taboo] Horned Dragon (Sloth Seal)", and the strength of both sides is being compared...]

[Comparison completed! ]

[[Power Servant] has been built 25% (single upper limit), and "Servant Feedback" has been obtained-Special Skill [Dragon Heart (Beginner)]-When entering battle, all attributes are increased by 10% (combat bonus, not included in the base panel). ]

[Blessed by the [Dragon Man Pearl], the [Dragon Heart] skill level is increased, from entry to mastery. ]

[[Dragon Heart (Mastery)]-All attributes are increased by 20% (combat bonus, not included in the base panel). 】

[[Lord of Sloth] Career Compatibility reaches 25%, obtains career bonus: Spirituality +30.0, Physicality +30.0! 】

——

[Spirituality]: 261.7→291.7

[Physicality]: 696.58→726.58

——

The two basic attributes that have been improved again have made Ryan's strength improve significantly.

And the acquisition of the special skill [Heart of the Dragon] is a complete surprise.

For the skill [Power Servant], every 25% increase in the construction will give Ryan an additional 30% attribute blessing, which is already extremely powerful.

You know, the Power Servant originally summoned, has 100% of Ryan's attributes, but without various special skills and passives, and the blessing of loot, the strength is weaker.

When the construction degree reaches 100%, the basic attributes of the Power Servant will be 2.2 times that of Ryan's body. With such powerful basic attributes, even without the blessing of special skills and loot, the strength will not be much inferior to the body.

This is already extremely terrifying.

What Ryan did not expect was that on this basis, the Power Servant could actually feedback his special skills.

Moreover, it is the "Dragon Series" skill that is in line with the first three Original Sin Path professions. For Ryan who holds the [Dragon Man Pearl], the Dragon Series skills are the best match for him, which can be upgraded by one level out of thin air.

The full attribute bonus of [Dragon Heart] is extremely powerful. With the improvement of basic attributes, Ryan estimates that even if he uses Storm Swordsmanship, which greatly reduces the damage to the permafrost monster, he can still cause considerable damage to the [Taboo] Horned Dragon.

"It should not be a problem for the current Wandering Clone to defeat the senior demigod, but I don't know how much gap there is compared to the peak demigod..."

Ryan thought silently in his heart.

After eating and drinking, he did not stay in the tree hole for too long. The time for travel was limited, and he planned to take advantage of this travel to upgrade to the next level.

You know, even if the improvement of the compatibility of [King of Sloth] has greatly improved the [spirituality] and [physique] of the main body, it is hard to say whether it can face the demigod directly.

Ryan will not be proud and complacent because of killing the demigod spirit.

He knows very well how much he weighs.

The demigod spirit that the main body fought was greatly weakened after the fierce battle with the Scarlet Witch. If it was a demigod spirit in a complete state, he would not be sure of winning one-on-one.

With such strength, it is still impossible to "fish for spirits".

But if he can upgrade to another level, Ryan feels that the main body will definitely have the power of "beginning demigod" of a stable war god, and then he can start the plan of fishing for spirits.

After all, the effect of [Secondary Gold Droplet] is too tempting.

After leaving the tree hole, Ryan continued to go deep into the snow forest.

In the full snow, walking alone, looking at the falling snow in front of him, Ryan reached out and touched it lightly, feeling that the future was bright.

...

Five hours later, Ryan looked at the heavy snow in front of him numbly, feeling that each piece of snowflake was so hateful.

This snow forest is really too big.

It's too big.

In the five hours of rushing, except for a few small ordinary monsters, he didn't see any special species, and he was cold all the way.

You know, after having [Adapt to Deep Snow], his speed of walking on the snow is not affected too much.

In the five hours of rushing, the straight line length alone has exceeded the diameter of the mysterious island!

This is just the outermost snow forest area of ​​the permafrost continent...

No wonder the hunting group's intelligence stopped at the snow forest area, and there was almost no record of the glacier area...

"Continent, continent."

Ryan sighed.

No special species were found, and he had no choice but to move forward.

"If it doesn't work, I can only return home. Next time I travel, I will explore in another direction."

The permafrost continent is very large, and he is only moving in one direction, or in other words, an area.

If he changes to another area, he might encounter permafrost monsters.

Another hour passed. At this time, more than six hours have passed since Ryan started his journey.

Just as Ryan was about to return, suddenly, a melodious dragon roar came from afar.

Hearing this sound, Ryan was immediately refreshed.

It's good to have some movement.

For five whole hours, what he was afraid of was no movement.

He quickened his pace and rushed in the direction of the sound. Soon, the snow trees around Ryan became sparse, and what he saw was a small hill surrounded by snow forests.

Crystalline icicles hundreds of meters thick crisscrossed and shone in the sun.

"The dragon roar came from here... Is this the habitat of a powerful monster..."

Ryan thought, but his footsteps did not stop for a moment.

After five hours of rushing, he had been waiting anxiously and urgently needed a battle to vent.

Following the passage between the icicles, Ryan moved forward all the way. Soon, he saw a large frost basin in front of him.

Thanks to the closure of the top of the icicles, the ice and snow layer covering the ground here is very shallow and very tightly pressed, as if there is a huge monster walking here for many years.

Ryan noticed that there were cuts on the surface of the hundreds of meters high icicles.

Ryan's eyes condensed.

These cuts gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

He felt familiar because he had seen this type of cut in the volcanic area of ​​the mysterious island, and he felt strange because compared to the cuts of the [Grand] Sword Dragon, the cuts here were not only deeper and longer, but also filled with a deep and dangerous aura.

In an instant, Ryan recalled a sentence recorded on the animal skin scroll - "In the snow forest area, the reconnaissance team encountered a variant of the Sword Dragon, which was extremely terrifying."

Ryan's expression became solemn: "A variant of the Sword Dragon..."

Just from the remaining aura in these cuts, Ryan could judge that this variant of the Sword Dragon that lived in the Everfrozen Continent had definitely reached the "forbidden" level.

Moreover, it was more powerful than the [forbidden] Horned Dragon!

"Roar--!"

A dragon roar came from the end of the front, and the next moment, the ice crystals exploded and raged with the ice mist.

A huge shadow emerged in the ice mist.

However, before its body was fully revealed, a sharp light flashed in the ice mist.

Ryan, who was waiting in a serious battle, saw a huge ice-blue tail blade in front of him.

Fast!

Too fast!

Ryan's pupils shrank sharply. At this moment, it was too late for him to raise his sword.

At the critical moment, he could only activate [Feast].

"Boom!"

The frost ground roared and cracked, and a cut mark extending hundreds of meters appeared on the frozen soil.

The exploding snow mist spread throughout the venue, blocking the line of sight.

In the "Feast Space", Ryan's face was extremely ugly.

Just this moment, he realized the huge gap between the two sides.

This variant of the Sword Slashing Dragon is much stronger than the [Taboo] Horned Dragon.

If the [Taboo] Horned Dragon is a taboo one-star, then the strength of this Sword Slashing Dragon variant is at least three-star or above!

The ice mist was still spreading, and Ryan could see that in the distance of the basin, the Sword Slashing Dragon variant stood in place, like a swordsman accumulating strength.

Without time to think, Ryan immediately activated all his special skills.

The blue flames jumped rapidly on his body surface, and he directly entered the "Blue Burst" state.

Although he knew that his chances of winning were extremely low, Ryan did not have the habit of waiting to be killed.

Even if he died, he had to find out enough information!

Ten seconds passed in a flash, and the "Feast" time ended. Ryan exited the special space, and at this time, the Sword Slashing Dragon variant in the distance also launched an attack at the same time.

The sharp light flashed in the air, and the speed was so fast that it was even difficult to describe in words. Even before the sonic boom cloud was formed, it was cut into pieces by the sharp edge of the tail blade.

Facing this slash full of death, Ryan shouted violently.

The "God-Splitting" skill in his hand, which had been charged, slashed out with anger.

"Ding——"

A crisp sound rang out in the air, followed by the fragments of the spiritual giant sword that exploded.

Ryan's body shook violently, and the cold tail blade approached him. The blood barrier on his body and the blood membrane of the domineering body flashed twice, and then they all exploded.

The dazzling edge was reflected in Ryan's eyes, and severe pain swept through his body. [Root Reversal] was activated, forcibly locking blood.

However, this was meaningless in the face of the absolute gap in strength.

The tail blade came again, and Ryan's eyes fell into complete darkness.

...

"Huff...Huff..."

Ryan suddenly woke up from the wooden bed, and the sound of the waves was roaring in his ears. After a long while, he recovered from the endless feeling of falling to death, and his face regained its color.

"So strong..."

Ryan whispered to himself.

The swift and violent attack of this Sword-slaying Dragon variant was the fastest he had ever seen.

Even Ryan couldn't react in time.

If it weren't for [Ghoul Banquet], he would probably have been defeated in the first slash.

Such a huge gap in strength reminded Ryan of the feeling of powerlessness he felt when he first faced the attack of Saint Iocillis when his traveling clone had only strength above the legendary limit.

At that time, there was a huge gap in realm between him and Saint Iocilis, but now, he and the Sword-Slaying Dragon variant were in the same realm.

"Even among the [Taboo] Three Stars, this sword-slaying dragon variant is definitely a strong one."

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.

[Taboo] Three stars is a very wide range. Unlike legends and demigods who are divided into beginners, seniors, peaks and extremes, monsters can only be divided into one to three stars for each major realm.

Among them, one star corresponds to newcomers, two stars correspond to senior players, and three stars are more special, corresponding to peaks and extremes.

This means that a strong [Taboo] Three Star can even crush a weak [Taboo] Three Star.

"It seems that it is impossible to defeat this sword-slaying dragon variant in a short period of time..."

"Make note of that location first, and then attack it when you are stronger."

The traveling clone was defeated and died, which made Ryan very regretful. The upgrade plan went bankrupt, but there was nothing he could do.

This is the case when traveling, especially in the world of monster hunting. You can never predict how powerful the monster you will encounter next will be.

Shaking his head, Ryan stood up.

At this moment, it was dawn outside.

The magnetic sea area is shrouded in clouds and thunder all year round, making it impossible to see the sun.

Therefore, all the light on Witch Island comes from the light-emitting device on the half body of Witch Island, a special rune creation.

Ryan pushed open the door and walked to the deck.

After looking at Xiao Zi who was sleeping not far away and only opened his eyes to take a look when he walked out and then closed them again, Ryan casually threw a piece of flesh and blood over.

Even with her eyes closed, Xiao Zi still opened her mouth very familiarly and swallowed the piece of meat into her belly.

I have to say that being able to eat while sleeping is also a skill.

Ryan looked away speechlessly.

Since Freni woke up, Xiao Zi went into a long hibernation again, seemingly trying to make up for the sleep she had lost some time ago.

It has to be said that the natural red obsidian evolved body is different. Even if it is full of food and sleep, Xiao Zi's strength is rapidly increasing.

Judging from the aura, Xiao Zi estimated that she had reached the fourth level, and she was not a beginner.

It is estimated that within a few days, it will become a legend.

Ryan shook his head and was too lazy to pay attention to this guy. He sat cross-legged on the deck and began his daily meditation practice.

Because of the experience of this travel trip, Ryan began to shift the focus of his practice to the Scorching Flame Swordsmanship.

Speaking of which, his swordsmanship, Storm Swordsmanship, has reached the master level, while Azure Swordsmanship and Burning Flame Swordsmanship are still at the master level, and the master level of these two swordsmanships is still relatively good.

Being able to reach the master level is still blessed by the Azure Sword.

Therefore, the actual levels of these two swordsmanships are actually only the proficiency level.

Comparatively speaking, among the two, Azure Swordsmanship is the closest to breakthrough. During this period, Ryan's focus of practice was also this swordsmanship.

It's a pity that Azure Swordsmanship is a more pure wind attribute swordsmanship, and it can't do much damage against permanently frozen monsters.

Therefore, Ryan could only regret that he had to switch to another major temporarily.

"Squeak..."

The sound of the door opening came. Ryan woke up from his meditative state and turned his head to look in the direction of the captain's cabin.

The fluffy witch hat swayed slightly in the sea breeze.

Freni walked out of the door with a smile on her face and seemed to be in a good mood.

The two looked at each other, and Freni nodded slightly, just like usual: "Good morning, Mr. Lane."

"I'm going to find Lord Crimson, so there's no need to prepare mine for breakfast."

After leaving these words, the girl turned and left.

And somewhere where Ryan couldn't see, the girl's earlobes glowed with a faint red color.

On Witch Island, Freni's footsteps were a little hurried.

For some reason, when she saw Ryan again, she couldn't help but recall what happened last night, so that she became uneasy.

"..."

After a while, her mind was filled with thoughts as she recovered.

"It was indeed the right thing not to rush into the final investment last night."

"The Wanderer is far from an opponent. He was killed instantly in a short time."

"Hmm... I made a small profit when I invested in the battle against the [Taboo] Raptor. I invested 50,000, with a ratio of 3.0, and the total spiritual essence came to 160,728."

"The next time you reinvest successfully, you will be able to purchase a large amount of third-level spiritual improvement crystals...Mr. Lane's strength is improving very quickly. You can consider exchanging an integrated crystal for him."

Miss Witch's thoughts were racing, and she kept walking towards the place agreed with the Scarlet Witch.

On the other side, Ryan continued to meditate.

Freni needs to learn runes with the Scarlet Witch, and during her stay on Witch Island, Ryan prepares to concentrate on practicing the Scorching Flame Swordsmanship and strive to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible.

It is not difficult for him to become proficient at the master level. After all, he has the foundation of the master level storm swordsmanship. All he needs is time to polish it.

The plan is good, but changes always come inadvertently.

Ryan, who was meditating, suddenly felt a familiar wave of magic approaching. He opened his eyes and saw the snow-winged girl Wei Ya flying from the Witch Island.

She flew across the sky quickly, with a solemn expression.

Seeing Ryan, she nodded and then flew to the outside of the barrier of the Witch Island and tapped lightly.

In an instant, the barrier that simulated the blue sky and white clouds became colorless and transparent, and the harsh environment of the magnetic mine sea area appeared.

Ryan turned his head and frowned.

I saw two dark and hideous warships parked near the barrier on the surging waves.

Ryan was a little unhappy because his meditation practice was interrupted. What made him even more unhappy was the power represented by the patterns on the flags of the three warships.

——Augustus Kingdom, Black Knights.

Black Knights, chasing?

So fast?
