The black giant python did not blame Palen. His huge body twisted and turned into an old man wearing a black robe, and slowly spoke.
"An accident doesn't mean anything, but I'm curious, what happened to cause your mission to fail?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Black Snake God."
Palen lowered his head and said with self-blame: "It was my intelligence error that led to the failure of the mission. The Gro camp that controls the divinity is not as weak as imagined, but instead hides a powerful existence."
"That wizard mastered a very evil spell. Everything was going smoothly, but he reversed the situation and not only ruined the mission, but also killed almost all the tribesmen!"
"A powerful wizard?" The old man in black robe flashed his eyes.
Then, he leaned down, placed his palm covered with fine scales on Palun's forehead, and said softly, "Relax your mind and let me see what happened?"
"Yes, Lord Black Snake God!" Palun said without hesitation.
Then, it cleared its mind and allowed the old man in black robe to check its memory, and everything that happened not long ago was replayed.
"It turns out it's him!" The old man in black robe narrowed his eyes.
In Palen's memory, he saw a familiar figure, Enzo, who had the strength of a second-level wizard, was the one who repelled the invasion of the Snake Claws.
"Hiding in the Gro camp..."
The old man in black robe murmured to himself, with a thoughtful expression on his face. If Enzo was also in the cave, he would definitely recognize him as the old snake who separated from him not long ago.
I don’t know what happened, but Old Snake was worshiped as the Black Snake God by the Snakeclaw tribe in the cave.
"Forget it, since he is at Camp Gro, we have no choice but to give up the plan."
Then, Old Snake shook his head slightly and whispered, "Anyway, there is not only one divinity left by the God of Slaughter, so just try another one!"
"Lift up your head, my child."
Old Snake looked at Palen and asked, "The Snake Claw tribe has been entrenched in the abandoned land for many years. How much do you know about the God of Slaughter? Apart from the Grot Camp, is there any other force with divinity?"
"As far as I know, after the death of the God of Slaughter, a lot of divinity was left behind!"
Palen raised his head, thought for a moment, and said, "In addition to the Grot Camp, Netherlight City, Stone Tombs, Corruption Swamps... many forces have a divinity, but most of those divinities have already been
Have a host."
"It doesn't matter if you have a host."
Old Snake shook his head and said softly: "Mortals cannot fully grasp the power of divinity. Even if it resides in their bodies, as long as the host is killed, the divinity can be plundered!"
Then, Old Snake's eyes flashed, and his face looked thoughtful.
"Now that I have arrived at the Lost Continent, even if I want to plan the ruins of the God of Slaughter, I must not rush it. First of all, the top priority is to obtain a piece of divinity as a foundation before I can consider the ruins again."
"Now, there are many divine forces in the Abandoned Land."
"I only need to pick the weakest one among them, and I can plunder a piece of divinity, but before that, I still have to go through the adaptation period!"
Old Snake frowned and sighed slightly.
The blood moon rules of the Lost Continent strongly suppress outsiders. Even as a third-level life form, the power that Old Snake can use at this moment is less than one-tenth. Otherwise, he would have gone to Camp Glo to rob divinity himself.
In the cave, all the venomous snakes were watching the old snake.
In their eyes, the sudden appearance of the old snake is the god that all the snake clan has been looking for. Under the leadership of the Black Snake God, the snake clan will eventually sweep across the abandoned land and even become the master of the lost continent.
Then, Old Snake spoke again and issued several orders.
The Snake Claws in the cave expressed their obedience. In just a few days, all the Snake Claws have become loyal servants of Old Snake. For Old Snake, who has been able to establish the Black Snake Church in the wizarding world for thirty years,
It is said that it is easy to seduce a group of ignorant Snake Claws.
Hiss!
In the dark cave, the sounds of poisonous snakes neighed one after another, but in the corner, no one noticed. A crow had already been hiding in the shadows, watching everything that happened here.
...
"It's actually him?"
In a stone house in the Gro camp, Enzo's eyes flashed, the corners of his lips were raised slightly, and he said to himself: "It's really amazing. In such a short period of time, he actually controlled the cave and let the Snake Claw clan
Be loyal to it!"
"God of black snakes? Humph!"
Through the vision of the shadow crow, Enzo saw everything in the cave, which was why he let the two Snake Claws go. However, Enzo did not expect that the current owner of the cave would actually be separated from him.
The old snake soon.
Like myself, the other party also went through an adaptation period under the suppression of the blood moon rules.
But Old Snake is indeed a monster that has lived for countless years. In just a few days, he actually bewitched the Snake Claws in the cave and even made them believe in him as a god and willingly sacrifice their lives for it.
Perhaps, this is the ability of third-order life forms!
"Forget it, Old Snake knows that I'm in Camp Gro, so he shouldn't dare to harass the camp again in the short term."
In place, Enzo shook his head and said, "The most urgent task now is to go through the adaptation period first and control divinity through killing. These two things can also be done at the same time!"
When they were in the wizarding world, Old Snake and Enzo had already had conflicts.
Both of them are very aware of each other's strength. After Old Snake knows about Enzo's existence, he will never invade the camp again in a short period of time. Therefore, Enzo can also put down his guard against the cave first and concentrate on mastering the power of divinity.
...
Three days later, in the wilderness.
There are layers of dark clouds in the sky, blocking the sunlight. This is the environment all year round in the abandoned land. On the desolate land, skeleton soldiers are wandering aimlessly.
Not far away, a ball of soul fire floated.
It was a white-bone skeleton whose head had just been crushed by a walking corpse. After the soul fire lost its body, it began to float around. When another skeleton appeared in front of it, the soul fire was swallowed up in one gulp.
call!
After devouring a soul fire, the skeleton conveyed a satisfied emotion. Low-level undead creatures did not have much wisdom. In their long lives, there was almost nothing except devouring and fighting.
call out!
At this moment, a shadow arrow passed through the air and penetrated the skull of the skeleton. The green soul fire inside suddenly floated out and was absorbed by an attractive force.
On the same spot, Enzo was wearing a blood-red robe.
"I have recovered more than 70% of my strength. Now, even if I encounter the same situation as last time, I will still be able to fight."
Enzo held the soul bone wand in his hand and walked on the wasteland.
After staying in Camp Gro for ten days, his strength has gradually recovered. In order to master the divine power as soon as possible, he went to the wilderness to hunt dead creatures.
"Sani, how are you?"
While walking forward, Enzo turned his head and asked the Emerald Crow lying on his shoulder.
"Sani doesn't like it here..."
The Emerald Crow replied feebly that it had also been ten days since she arrived in the Lost Continent, but Sani's power still had not recovered, and she was only one-tenth of her prime.
"Perhaps this is the difference between a third-level life form and a second-level wizard?"
The thought flashed in Enzo's mind. Compared to himself, the adaptation period of the Emerald Crow seemed to be longer. Enzo deduced that this might be related to their levels. As a third-level life form, Sani was suppressed more strongly by the blood moon.
"Forget it, go back and rest."
Enzo shook his head. Since Sani's strength has not yet been restored, there is no point in staying outside.
The Emerald Crow flapped its wings and flew back into Enzo's body.
Afterwards, Enzo continued to move forward.
"Chip, turn on the scanning function and search for dark creatures in the wasteland!"
Enzo gave the order in his heart, a light blue glow appeared in his eyes, and the distribution of dark creatures in the surrounding area appeared in his mind.
"Looks like I'm pretty lucky!"
Enzo narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his lips slightly. In the area not far ahead, the chip searched for a large number of wandering skeletons, and it seemed that a melee was going on.
Without hesitation, Enzo headed for his goal.
Not long after, he came to a high slope and looked down. Hundreds of skeletons were fighting in a melee, and the sound of bones hitting each other continued to sound.
These skeletons belong to two forces!
On both sides of the wasteland, there is a silver skeleton with a silvery luster all over its body, directing its men to launch an attack.
Silver Skeleton, first-order life form!
Skeletons that have evolved to this level have already developed basic intelligence. They no longer rely on instinct to wander around, but begin to act with purpose.
If a skeleton wants to evolve, it must constantly devour the soul fire of its kind!
There are a large number of skeleton soldiers in the Abandoned Land, but there are not many silver skeletons. For them, absorbing ordinary soul fire will not have much effect on evolution.
Therefore, if a silver skeleton wants to evolve towards a more advanced gold skeleton, it can only swallow the soul fire of skeletons of the same level.
"Kill them!"
Below, two groups of skeletons were fighting. When the gray-skeleton skeletons on both sides had suffered similar losses, a silver skeleton raised a sword in its hand, sending out a signal full of aggression.
Suddenly, beside the silver skeleton, several elite metal skeletons also rushed towards the battle group, and the situation became more intense.
However, at this moment, a shadow appeared in the middle of the melee of skeletons.
The next moment, Enzo revealed his figure.
"Shadow Realm!"
Without much prelude, Enzo directly activated the Shadow Realm, and a tidal wave of shadows appeared under his feet, and then shadow tentacles sprang out, waving like a whip.
Crackling!
The whip of shadow whipped the skeletons and shattered them easily. The bodies of the gray-bone skeletons and white-bone skeletons were very fragile and were almost cleaned in a matter of seconds.
There are only a dozen metal skeletons left in the shadow realm!
Evolved to the level of a metal skeleton, the skeleton's body has been metalized, so it has certain defensive capabilities, but it is still vulnerable in Enzo's eyes.
"Shadow Cage!"
Enzo waved his wand casually, and the shadow cage appeared in vain, trapping all the metal skeletons in it. Then he threw a dark fireball and destroyed them all in one wave.
In just one minute, almost all the skeletons around were killed, and the soul fire was floating everywhere, like a bunch of ghosts.
On the other side, seeing that all his men were killed, the two silver skeletons were not angry at all. The birth of wisdom also gave them the emotion of fear, so they turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Enzo looked indifferent, waved his wand, and threw two more dark fireballs.
boom!
The two silver skeletons were blown to pieces. The silver skeletons exuded a shiny luster. Two groups of green soul fire wanted to escape, but were attracted back by a force of attraction.
Enzo stretched out his arm, and like a black flower, a crow bloomed in the palm of his hand!
The crow that condensed the killing divinity opened its mouth and swallowed two silver soul fires. Then, the soul fires floating around also flew in one after another.
Swish!
The crow, which is condensed with the divinity of killing, flaps its wings happily after enjoying the killing, sending a signal of satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, the killing crow flew towards Enzo!
Snapped!
Enzo had no expression on his face and slapped it to the ground with his hand. The killing crow let out a shrill scream, and a bloodthirsty luster appeared in his dark eyes.
"It's just a trace of divinity, and you want to swallow my will?"
Enzo sneered, raised his arm, and the shadow extended like a tentacle, tightly binding the Killing Crow, and with a piercing strange cry, it was taken back into the body.
Although the murderous divinity has been suppressed by magic into a crow, it still longs for a host and desires to control Enzo with its will to kill.
In place, Enzo slowly closed his eyes.
After the Killing Crow returned to his body, the power gained from killing the skeletons gradually merged with Enzo, but he did not indulge in this power and opened his eyes after a moment.
"The power of killing is like poison!"
"If you are not careful, you will sink into it, be affected by the will to kill, and eventually become a puppet of killing!"
The familiar data panel appeared in front of him. Enzo narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.
Through the killing of skeletons just now, his three basic statistics have been improved by 0.1. This seems to be the power brought by divinity.
"No wonder so many people are still willing to drink it even though they know divinity is a kind of poison!" Enzo took a breath of air and suppressed the throbbing emotions in his heart.
The three attributes increased by 0.1, which may not seem obvious to Enzo's original data, but in fact it is extremely terrifying.
You must know that for a second-level wizard, any improvement in data requires a long period of accumulation. For example, a 0.1 improvement in mental power would take Enzo at least a year of meditation to achieve it under normal circumstances.
Even so, it is still on the premise that he has advanced meditation methods!
