A strange feeling of emptiness suddenly arose from his abdomen. Lin Ze couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this, but he didn't panic and continued to observe attentively.
Sure enough, not long after, the fire trembled slightly and emitted red mist like flame again.
Compared with just a moment ago, the newly appeared red mist appeared to be more intense, almost condensing into a semi-liquid state, a little less violent and a little more spiritual.
Lin Ze immediately called up his personal panel, took a closer look, and found that [Spiritual Qi lv4] originally under the body refining and method lists had disappeared, replaced by [Lingyuan (Fire) lv3].
"Has the level dropped by one level?" He murmured softly to himself, but his tone was not disappointed, but filled with a hint of joy.
Although the total amount of spiritual energy in the body has been reduced, the quality has been improved, and it is obviously purer than the spiritual energy. In comparison, the level dropped by one level is insignificant.
What's more, overall, the power of skills has not weakened.
In addition, Lin Ze also noticed that the fire element affinity increased by 1.2 percentage points, and the fire element control also increased by 3 points.
He was suddenly overjoyed. He did not expect that condensing fire would actually have the effect of increasing the affinity of the fire element and the power of fire.
Putting aside the fire element affinity, it is a surprise that the scale of the flame power can be increased. Lin Ze was still worried about how to continue to improve the flame power, but he did not expect to find a way soon after the new game started.
Although it is only an increase of 3 scales, at least there is a way to improve it. Moreover, as the level of cultivation increases, the amount of fire power that can be increased in the later stages will definitely be more.
"The next step is to continue to gather the fire."
According to the information in Lin Ze's mind, the fire level is divided into seven smaller levels. The one who condenses the first fire like this is the first level of fire, and the second one who condenses the second one is the second level of fire.
And so on, until the seventh level of fire.
The more fire that is condensed, the stronger the strength. When there are seven fires in the body, you can try to break through to the next level, the fire ring level.
In my memory, the dead leader of Fire Fox Village, as well as the captain of the hunting team, the two deputy captains and several elders were all Fire Ring level warriors.
Lin Yingning, on the other hand, is a seventh-level fire type and the strongest of the younger generation in Fire Fox Village.
Taking one from the pile of fire stones placed beside him, Lin Ze calmed down and continued to absorb the fire stones to condense fire.
Due to physical limitations, ordinary warriors would deliberately slow down when absorbing the Fire Origin Stone, extracting the Fire Origin Energy bit by bit, for fear of overdoing it and injuring their bodies. However, he had no such concerns and directly absorbed it as quickly as possible.
In less than five seconds, a fire source stone was absorbed.
After absorbing five fire source stones in succession, Lin Ze finally condensed the second fire source.
"It consumes a lot of fire source stones." He frowned slightly and looked at the gravel in his hand.
The reason why only one fire source stone is needed when condensing fire for the first time is because after practicing the breath of fire for a long time and using fire energy to transform the body, there is already a lot of fire energy left in the body, and although Lin Ze does not have this
It's a lot of experience, but because of the frequent use of Explosion, the remaining fire element energy in the body will only be more, not less.
However, when the first fire is condensed, most of the fire element energy is absorbed, so the further you go, the more fire source stones are needed to condense the fire.
And it seems that because of the upgraded Lingyuan skills, Lin Ze requires significantly more energy to condense fire than ordinary fire.
"If this continues, to condense the remaining five fire seeds, I'm afraid we will need more than a hundred fire stones." Lin Ze frowned for a while. It would take him seven days to collect seven fire stones. If he had 100 fire stones, it would take at least more than three months.
Okay, this time is too long.
After frowning and thinking for a while, he suddenly had an idea.
"The difference between fire element and fire element energy is that one is the owned energy generated by the human body, and the other is the ownerless energy born between heaven and earth. But the fire element energy contained in the fire source stone is also ownerless, wouldn't that?
Very similar to the energy of fire element?"
"Perhaps we can use fire element energy to replace fire element energy!"
Thinking of doing it, Lin Ze immediately tried it, absorbing the fire element energy diffused in the air into his body, gradually condensing it into an air ball in his abdomen, and then condensing and squeezing it.
However, no matter how he compressed it, even if he reduced the air mass to the same size as the fire next to it, he could never condense it into fire.
"Strange, the total amount of energy is obviously the same."
Lin Ze opened his eyes and thought for a moment. When his eyes glanced at the last fire source stone left by his side, his expression suddenly moved. After thinking about it, he took the fire source stone and held it in his hand while extracting the fire energy from it.
, while absorbing the fire element energy in the air, the two phases merge to form an air mass in the abdomen.
This time it went much more smoothly. Not long after, a third fire appeared in Lin Ze's abdomen.
Three fires are suspended in parallel and arranged in an arc.
"Sure enough, the fire source stone not only contains fire energy, but also contains some necessary substance to condense fire!"
Lin Ze suddenly understood, and it seemed that the amount of this necessary substance was not large. One fire source stone was enough. In this way, he only needed to get four more fire source stones to cultivate to the peak of fire level.
"You should be able to get enough fire source stones when you receive the training subsidy next time."
Lin Ze recalled in his mind the next time he would receive the subsidy, which happened to be the day after tomorrow.
"Let's get familiar with the village in these two days."
He quickly had a plan in mind, got out of bed and went to the window. Seeing that the sky outside had turned dark, he gave up the idea of going out and continued to practice inside the house, getting familiar with the fire element he had just obtained in his body.
Now Lin Ze won't feel tired even if he doesn't sleep for seven days and seven nights.
He spent the long night practicing, and it wasn't until the sky became clear and bursts of people's voices and sounds with the smell of fresh fireworks could be heard outside that he ended his practice and opened the door to prepare to go out.
However, as soon as he locked the door, Lin Ze heard someone calling his name from behind him. He turned around and saw a young man in his twenties walking quickly towards him.
"Just in time, I was just looking for you."
As soon as the young man met him, he immediately grabbed his wrist and walked forward.
Lin Ze thought about it for a moment, and then the other party's name came to mind. Wang Jinyan was one of the few people in Fire Fox Village who had a better relationship with him, and he was also an official member of the hunting team.
"What happened?" he asked.
"The leader is convening a meeting and asked me to inform you." Wang Jinyan agreed without looking back.
"Chief?" Lin Ze was slightly startled. Didn't he die?
Hearing Lin Ze's confused tone, Wang Jinyan slowed down and turned to look at him strangely: "That's Lin Yingning. She succeeded Lin Kui and is now the new leader of our village.
This matter was discussed and decided by the elders and the captain yesterday, and it has spread throughout the village, don’t you know?”
Lin Ze suddenly realized, shook his head and said, "I stayed in my room yesterday."
Hearing this, Wang Jinyan seemed to have misunderstood something. He sighed, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "I am also very sad that Mr. Lin Kui died, but people cannot be resurrected. We still have to look forward. The most important thing right now is
Avenge Lord Lin Kui!"
Lin Ze glanced at him silently and said nothing.
The atmosphere became silent like this. The two of them said nothing on the way and just walked forward. Not long after, Wang Jinyan stopped in front of a brick and stone building, pointed inside and said:
"Hurry in, I'm here, I'm not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting."
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, but said nothing. He just nodded, thanked him, opened the door and walked in.
Strictly speaking, Wang Jinyan's status is higher than him. After all, he is not a member of the hunting team. Wang Jinyan is not qualified to attend the meeting, but he can attend. The only conceivable reason is that he is the village chief's nephew. So what is the content of today's meeting?
Just ready to come out.
Behind the door is a spacious hall. In the center is a round conference table that can accommodate more than ten people. There are many people sitting around, including Lin Yingning, Yu Yong, and the two deputy captains of the hunting team, Qin Kuanhe.
Guo Xiaozhi, three elders Peng Shao, Su Ping and Xu Tianli were all present, as well as four senior members of the hunting team.
Lin Ze looked around and found that except for him, everyone present was either at the Fire Ring Level or at the seventh level of the Fire Seed Level.
When they saw him coming in, most people just nodded slightly to say hello and turned their heads. Only Lin Yingning called out to him.
"You're here, cousin, please take a seat."
Lin Ze didn't care about the extraordinarily dull reactions of the others. He just nodded silently and sat down at the last seat.
He seemed to be the last one to arrive. As soon as he sat down, the meeting began. As expected, the content was a discussion about the death of the leader and how to deal with the Fire Bear Village next.
The meeting was filled with deep sorrow, anger and heaviness from beginning to end. The two deputy captains of the hunting team, Qin Kuan and Guo Xiaozhi, insisted on launching a war against Huoxiong Village to avenge Lin Kui's murder, while several elders insisted on launching a war against Huoxiong Village to avenge Lin Kui's murder.
As a result, not long after the meeting began, a fierce quarrel broke out between the two parties over this matter.
"I don't understand what else is there to discuss!? Fire Bear Village killed our leader. This hatred can only be washed away with war!" Guo Xiaozhi slammed the table hard and shouted, his face turned red because of the surge of blood.
.
Elder Su Pingping gave him an expressionless look and said coldly: "Open your mouth to fight and keep your mouth shut. Do you want the entire village to be destroyed because of your reckless impulse?"
"What do you mean?" Guo Xiaozhi glared at him.
Su Ping was unmoved: "The strength of our village is not as good as that of Fire Bear Village, and it is even more so now that leader Lin Kui is dead. If we start a war, we will only lose."
Having said this, he looked around at everyone and said firmly, "Waging a war at this time can relieve the anger for a while, but it will push Fire Fox Village into the abyss."
"Then don't you want to avenge the leader?"
"Of course we have to take revenge." Xu Tianli, another elder, took over, paused, and sighed softly, "But the prerequisite is to protect the village. If the village is gone, what's the point of revenge?"
Guo Xiaozhi kept fussing, but couldn't find any words to refute, so he had to turn his head and look at Lin Yingning.
"Ying... Chief, what do you think we should do?"
Lin Yingning's face was pale, with a heavy and unconcealable tiredness on his face. Hearing the words, he raised his head, his cold eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and he shook his head slowly but firmly:
