While walking along the edge of the village, Lu Chen found that in the area he had cleaned up, there were fireballs with human heads wandering wantonly. All this made Lu Chen deeply suspicious.
No wonder Lu Chen is like this, no matter who he is, he will be a little discouraged after finding that he has been working hard for a long time, but it has no effect.
"Fortunately, I killed Xie Sui not for the safety of the surrounding villages, but for the experience points. Otherwise, my current mentality would definitely not be sustainable."
At this point, Lu Chen finally understood why the village didn't clean up the evil spirits around it. It wasn't that they didn't want to, it was very likely that cleaning up would be useless.
Of course, such a thing is the biggest bad thing for the village, but for Lu Chen, it is a good thing.
"Originally I was thinking that since those fireballs with human heads were gone, I would have to look for other weird things, but now it seems that there is no need for them for the time being."
Soon, Lu Chen, whose body returned to its original state, once again attacked evil spirits.
After finding the fireball within the totem range, and then stepping out of the totem range, Lu Chen waited for the red fireball to approach.
The human-headed fireballs don't have much wisdom. They charge straight forward and are easily defeated by Lu Chen's sword. Then, they disperse and gather together. Of course, this will not succeed. Lu Chen, who has been prepared, will gather in the fireball.
Pretty much, smash them away again.
The third time, those red flames would gather with Lu Chen as the center, hoping to rely on the large amount of scattered flames to invade Lu Chen's body.
In this regard, Lu Chen's choice was to use his full body of energy and blood to resist the erosion.
And often, those red flames will be melted by Lu Chen's blood before they get close to Lu Chen.
This process is how Lu Chen dealt with the human-headed fireball.
But this time, things were different. After the first sword defeated the core of the human-headed fireball, Lu Chen waited for those flames to reunite.
The problem arises here.
The red flames that were scattered by Lu Chen tried hard to gather together. In the past, they would gather quickly.
But this time, after struggling for a while, they did not converge, but gradually disappeared into the night.
"What's going on? You ran away?"
Just when Lu Chen was confused, the system prompt sounded.
[The system prompts that the host killed the remnant human head fireball and gained 20 experience points.]
"Dead, just dead, what happened?"
The sudden change made Lu Chen a little confused. Then, Lu Chen also saw the prompt at the back of the system.
"There is also less experience value, only twenty points. This is definitely not because my strength has improved."
Lu Chen is still very clear about this. Just now, he killed several fireballs with human heads. Although the experience is less than yesterday, it is only a few points less. In this regard, Lu Chen understands that he has improved after all.
At level one, the experience value will indeed be reduced.
But thinking about it now, losing more than half of it at once, is definitely not normal.
Thinking about how he could never kill the evil spirit, but after being killed by him once, the evil spirit became weaker and his experience points became less. Putting these things together, Lu Chen had a vague guess in his mind.
"The evil spirits are indeed difficult to kill, but to appear in this world, they also need something I don't know. After killing the evil spirits, those evil spirits will gather again and become much weaker."
"Perhaps, they will gradually strengthen as time goes by."
"Or, after swallowing human blood, it will become stronger again."
Because he knew too little, Lu Chen could only make some guesses.
However, he felt that his guess was probably correct.
Of course, Lu Chen quickly gave up exploring the truth of the world.
"I am too weak now. Let's leave the exploration of the nature of the world to the future. What I have to do now is to become stronger quickly."
Then, Lu Chen, who no longer thought about it, continued to patrol along the totem area.
Because the human-headed fireballs became weaker, this time, Lu Chen melted a dozen of them with one sword strike before consuming a little energy and blood.
However, although Lu Chen still had some energy and blood left, those fireballs with human heads were gone.
Not only was Lu Chen not angry about this, but he was relieved.
"Sure enough, that fireball with a human head will not be reborn indefinitely. Although this world is dangerous, it is still struggling."
The head fireball never dissipated, which was a good thing for Lu Chen who wanted to increase his experience points.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is an extremely terrifying thing. If you can be reborn infinitely, this world will definitely be over. Human beings will never be able to resist the evil evil of infinite rebirth.
But under the overturning of the nest, all the eggs were intact, and all humans were dead. Even Lu Chen, alone, would definitely not be able to survive.
"It's okay now. That evil spirit cannot be reborn indefinitely."
Lu Chen was happy for a while because evil spirits could not be reborn indefinitely, but soon, looking at the silent night, where there were not even human heads or fireballs, Lu Chen felt a little uncomfortable again.
"The easiest weird thing to deal with is gone!"
"Should we go to a deeper place or go to the routes patrolled by other teams?"
Thinking like this, Lu Chen did not make a decision immediately, but conserved his energy and returned to the village. This was not a rest, he was going to upgrade.
Opening the system interface, ignoring all the information inside, Lu Chen looked at the experience values.
[Experience value: 809]
When he upgraded to the second level swordsman today, Lu Chen still had 298 experience points left. At night, Lu Chen also cleaned up five or six human-headed fireballs that were in good condition. Each of them provided Lu Chen with fifty or sixty experience points.
This added another three hundred.
Later, Lu Chen cleaned up the resurrected human head fireballs again. This time, Lu Chen cleaned up a lot, a dozen of them. However, the reborn ones were too weak, and each one only provided Lu Chen with ten or twenty points.
Experience value, this means that Lu Chen's experience value has not exceeded one thousand.
"Although it didn't break through to one thousand, more than eight hundred is not a lot."
"System, improve the swordsman level."
With Lu Chen's voice, the experience points were consumed at an extremely fast rate. When the consumption reached a certain level, Lu Chen's system interface suddenly shook, and then, a golden light bloomed from Lu Chen's system interface and spread towards Lu Chen's body.
.
Under the golden light, Lu Chen felt warm all over his body, and at the same time, his muscular body became a little smoother.
[The system prompts that the host has consumed 300 experience points and the swordsman has reached level three]
[System prompts, the swordsman reaches level three, the host’s agility +1]
[The system prompts that the host has consumed 400 experience points and the swordsman has reached level four]
[System prompts, the swordsman reaches level four, the host’s strength +1]
Soon, the upgrade was completed. At the same time, hunger messages were also transmitted from the cells around Lu Chen. It was because the cells had absorbed too much energy during the upgrade process.
Fortunately, Lu Chen was prepared for this. He reached out to pick up the pottery pot next to him, opened the seal on it, and drank the soup in big gulps.
The decoction entered his stomach and was quickly absorbed by Lu Chen's powerful physique. Soon, all the decoction in the bowl was absorbed by Lu Chen, and his body also improved.
"Sure enough, it is just a normal upgrade without acquiring skills, so my consumption is not very large. But once I acquire skills, especially powerful skills, I have to prepare a lot of nutrients."
Lu Chen was still very happy after finding some rules for system upgrades, but instead, he looked outside the village.
