"Thank you." Su Lin pursed her lips and smiled, then asked, "What about you? Have you found the formula?"
"Found it." Lin Ze shrugged, "I was lucky. I found the relics of a dead swordsmith in the ruins of the city, and there happened to be a formula in it."
Su Lin originally planned to persuade Lin Ze to accept the core membership contract of the Swordsmith Guild and not waste time looking for the formula, but when she heard such a sentence, her beautiful eyes widened in shock.
Did they really find it? And it was the relic of the swordsmith who died in the ruins?
There are many such plots in novels, but few people believe that they will actually happen in reality!
As a result, a living example came before my eyes.
Seeing Su Lin's surprised expression, Lin Ze smiled and said, "I'm just lucky. I happened to find the remains of a knife-smith in a hidden basement, and there happened to be a knife-making formula next to it."
"Is it the new knife-making formula?"
"That's right." Lin Ze nodded and said, "Although I don't know the specific level of the formula, it is at least an intermediate formula."
As the progress of the Soul Knife increased, Lin Ze's possession of the formula would be discovered sooner or later, so he had already thought of the reason and just said it at this time. Just in case, he did not tell Honglian's secret for the time being.
True level.
After all, the allure of the superior formula is too great, and it will inevitably attract the covetousness of others. Until he has enough strength, Lin Ze plans to temporarily conceal Honglian's level.
Su Lin was shocked when she heard this, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. However, she was still sincerely happy for Lin Ze to get a good formula.
"By the way, I heard that Ding Beiye also passed the graduation examination." Su Lin suddenly said, "He went out hunting three days ago. It is said that Ding Jin arranged for two third-level swordsmiths to be his guards."
"That's really a big battle." Lin Ze raised his eyebrows. For an ordinary novice swordsmith, it would be good to have a second-level swordsmith to accompany him when he goes hunting for the first time, even for someone like Su Lin who is valued by the guild.
The genius seed is only accompanied by a third-level swordsmith.
Swordsmiths are not just cabbages that can be seen everywhere on the street. They are few in number and extremely busy. Ding Beiye can actually have two third-level swordsmiths accompanying him for training, which shows that Ding Jin attaches great importance to him.
"Is it possible that Ding Beiye is not Ding Jin's nephew, but an illegitimate son?" He couldn't help but maliciously speculate.
Su Lin continued: "Ding Jin has no children. He only has a nephew, Ding Beiye, so he is treated completely as a son and has always been very doting on him. This is why Ding Beiye is so arrogant and domineering now."
Speaking of this, she looked at Lin Ze, with a trace of worry in her eyes, "The place where Ding Beiye hunted insect beasts was also in the ruins of C7 city. You have to be careful. He probably still has a grudge for what happened last time, and he might ask for help.
You take revenge!"
But he had already taken his revenge.
Lin Ze secretly thought in his heart, but he agreed on his face and nodded: "I will be careful!"
After a while, the two separated at the entrance of the guild. Su Lin went home to rest, while Lin Ze rushed towards the north gate after purchasing food and water.
After returning to the ruins of the C7 city, he immediately followed the signs on the map and rushed towards his destination. On the way, he easily killed a few steel soldier bugs who wanted to use him as food.
About half an hour later, Lin Ze arrived at a dilapidated school.
Under the ravages of time, the signboard next to the school gate has long been worn away to the point where the original font cannot be seen, and all the buildings in the school have been turned into ruins. The ground is covered with gravel, and only a few pitted walls are still standing stubbornly.
Whether it is the remaining walls or the gravel-covered ground, there are black traces of various shapes remaining like graffiti, which are scorch marks left after being burned at high temperatures.
As soon as he stepped into the school, Lin Ze clearly felt that the temperature inside was much higher than outside.
"It seems there are a lot of red beetles here!"
Lin Ze pulled out the white knife from his waist, and with a thought, the sharp blade was immediately covered with a layer of tight airflow.
Under the catalysis of the battle, his control of Qi has improved a lot, and now he can condense the sword aura in half a second. The speed is much faster than before, but it is still far from the expected 'instantaneous'.
Holding the white knife, Lin Ze stepped forward cautiously.
After being turned into ruins, the original architectural pattern of the school could no longer be seen, and one could only vaguely recognize the spacious area in front of it, which should have been the school road. Dark unknown objects could be seen everywhere on both sides.
Lin Ze guessed that these were plants that had been burned to death by the high temperature, because not far ahead, there were four or five huge insect beasts with fiery red carapace lingering.
Red beetle!
The red beetle is as big as a car, including its head, legs and two sharp pincers. Its entire body is a dazzling fiery red color, and from a distance it looks like a moving flame.
The air surrounding the surface of its body is even slightly distorted, which shows its high surface temperature.
The red beetles quickly discovered Lin Ze's presence and immediately rushed towards him with their screams, their four red legs moving rapidly, leaving behind scorching black marks on the ground.
Still seven or eight meters away, Lin Ze felt a hot breath rushing towards him.
He took a deep breath and dodged to avoid the pincers wielded by a red beetle. The hot breath passed violently in front of him, causing the hair on his forehead to curl slightly. He then lifted it with his backhand, following the sharp light of the knife.
Whistling past, the flaming pincers soared into the sky.
The injured red beetle hissed loudly, and the next second it was hit on the head by the oncoming sword, and died.
Lin Ze didn't stop, and walked forward quickly with a fierce momentum that could kill the red beetle instantly with just one face-to-face. The white knife in his hand instantly turned into countless silver swords and flew out, sweeping towards the rushing red beetle like a strong wind and rain.
.
The heads of the two red beetles that rushed forward suddenly exploded, and they immediately fell to the ground and died. The cold sword light continued, and passed over the remaining two red beetles like frogs bouncing. A click was heard immediately, and the hard carapace
Divided into two, the two red beetles were broken into four pieces, and a large amount of hot blood flowed out.
In an instant, the battle came to an end.
The red beetle is only a second-level insect beast. For Lin Ze, it is just a matter of killing him casually. Only an elite individual among them can pose any threat to him.
After absorbing the soul energy of the five red beetles, the white knife gained 0.05% more high-temperature attribute soul energy.
White knife 35.06% (steel 35.01%, high temperature 0.05%)
At the same time, Lin Ze was keenly aware of an inexplicable connection between himself and Bai Dao, as if there was a strange energy hidden in Bai Dao, and he could control this energy with just a thought.
burst out.
However, this connection seemed to be disconnected at any time. When Lin Ze followed the mysterious connection and concentrated on stimulating the energy hidden in the white knife, he was shocked to find that the white knife did not change much.
It's just that the temperature of the blade seems to have risen a little.
"This should be the characteristic of soul energy, but it is still very weak. It should be because it absorbs too little high-temperature attribute soul energy."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Ze understood the reason.
"As the high-temperature attribute and fire-attribute soul energy increase, the characteristics of the soul knife will become more and more obvious and powerful."
