Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

Chapter 139 Changes in Skills

A dense aura of malevolence emanated from his body, and a bone-chilling cold instantly pierced Cang He's mind.

Canghe felt as if he had entered a world full of magical beasts. Every open space around him was crowded with magical beasts, their eyes staring at him greedily as they approached him step by step.

A strong sense of fear gripped Canghe's heart. He instinctively stepped back, but his hand touched something furry.

Looking down, I saw it was an animal claw.

"Roar……"

One after another, roars of beasts rang out, and beasts' mouths tore chunks of flesh from Canghe's body. The pain made him want to faint, but his consciousness remained perfectly clear, which filled him with despair.

"Kill me...kill me..."

thump!

With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xiaoyuan tossed Canghe out, where it rolled several times on the ground.

Canghe muttered to himself, his eyes glazed over, looking like a fool.

"hiss……"

Those around couldn't help but gasp in shock. What kind of ability was this? It was terrifying! It had directly rendered a level 40 ability user powerless, turning him into a useless cripple!

"Alright, Canghe is tired. Take him away to rest."

Ding Han frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. He waved his hand impatiently, and soldiers came in and carried Cang He out.

"Young man, this is my business card. The advanced skill emblem you gave Sanzang will be evaluated and you will receive compensation once Sanzang has fully integrated it and understands the power of the skill."

The bald, middle-aged man stepped forward and handed a dark yellow business card to Zhang Xiaoyuan.

“Mingjue, President of the Mingliu Provincial Branch of the Buddhist Association”

Zhang Xiaoyuan learned the identity of the bald middle-aged man, and was surprised to find that he was also a monk.

But aren't all the people here soldiers? Did the monks join the army too?

"One hundred million Dragon Coins will be deposited into your bank account shortly, as an advance payment for that advanced skill emblem. Once the skill effect is identified, the remaining money will be deposited into your account as well."

Monk Mingjue said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded and prepared to leave so she could carefully experience the newly fused [Demon Tiger Annihilation Claw] skill.

He discovered that after the fusion, the skills seemed to have different descriptions than those on the data panel.

With Zhang Xiaoyuan gone, the ability users who had gathered here also dispersed, and the place became deserted once again.

"Brother Yuan, it's such a pity that someone else took your advanced skill emblem!"

Ishida said with great distress.

"Although the bald guy will offer corresponding compensation, high-level skill emblems are extremely rare and valuable. The actual compensation is much higher than it appears. He should offer more money."

"It's such a pity."

Qin Fen's eyes were also a little red. He had just watched as the advanced skill emblem was taken away by San Zang, and he wished he could take its place.

This is a high-level skill emblem!

The most powerful skill!

Why can't he integrate?!

"Don't worry, it's just a high-level skill emblem. There will be more in the future."

Zhang Xiaoyuan waved her hand dismissively and said with a smile.

However, this only made Ishida and his companion feel even worse.

Does this mean that if the two of them, as Zhang Xiaoyuan's followers, could fuse with advanced skill emblems, they wouldn't need to pay such high fees to use them?

'Damn it, why am I so useless?!'

The two thought to themselves, feeling frustrated.

After leaving the tent, Zhang Xiaoyuan chose a less crowded area and sat down, leaning against a tree.

"Brother Yuan, we..."

Qin Fen was about to ask where they were going next when Ishida interrupted him.

"Shh... Yuan-ge is going to sleep."

Ishida whispered, made a "shh" gesture, and pulled Qin Fen aside.

"Sleep, go to sleep?"

Qin Fen was stunned for a moment, then realized that after such a fierce battle, his body must be exhausted, and it was perfectly reasonable for him to take a good rest.

"Then let's take turns keeping watch. You do the first half of the night, and I'll do the second half."

Qin Fen thought for a moment and then said.

Having served in the military for many years, he believed he possessed a more resolute will than Ishida, so he decided to take over the most tiring hours of the night.

"Hehe, no need, let Brother Yuan keep watch. No one is more suitable than him."

Ishida pulled Qin Fen aside. Not far from Zhang Xiaoyuan, he took out a pillow, lay down on the ground, and started snoring away.

"Hey? Even though Brother Yuan is the strongest, we can't rely on him for everything."

Qin Fen wanted to think more about Zhang Xiaoyuan, but he found that not only Ishida, but also Yulia, who usually cared about Zhang Xiaoyuan, fell asleep next to her.

"Huh? Then, I'll sleep too?"

Qin Fen leaned against the tree and hesitated for a while, but finally succumbed to sleepiness and couldn't stay awake any longer, eventually falling asleep.

He slept soundly until dawn.

While asleep, Zhang Xiaoyuan felt an increase in the strength of her body, and her thoughts became clearer.

"After absorbing the skill [Demon Tiger Annihilation Claw], my power actually caused Canghe to fall into an illusion. Could this be another way of using evil energy?"

He had previously gained a lot of evil energy points by killing monsters, but when it came to actually fighting monsters, the number was still too small, so the effect was not significant.

However, the [Demon Tiger Annihilation Claw] can condense malevolent energy and release it in an extremely sharp and concealed way.

However, this still doesn't align with the "hallucination" ability.

Zhang Xiaoyuan thought for a long time, but still couldn't find the answer.

He could only hope that the enemy would reappear and fall into the illusion, at which point he would seize the opportunity to study it.

Besides this change, Zhang Xiaoyuan also discovered that after absorbing the [Demon Tiger Annihilation Claw], his baleful energy points increased by 500, which was an unexpected surprise.

He guessed that this was the evil energy that the Black Tiger Beast used to possess. Besides what he absorbed, some of it was also absorbed by the skill emblem, since the skill emblem was originally part of the Black Tiger Beast.

With no further changes, Zhang Xiaoyuan stopped studying the matter and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Another day I'm woken up by the aroma of food.

Zhang Xiaoyuan stretched and felt that his clothes around his waist were a little loose. He thought he had lost weight, but when he looked down, he saw that Yulia was sleeping next to him, her hand tightly gripping his pants.

"...He's up."

Zhang Xiaoyuan rubbed the tip of her nose and looked toward the source of the aroma, only to find that Ishida was simmering soup.

"Brother Yuan, you're awake? We'll have mutton soup and steak for breakfast today."

Ishida chuckled, sprinkled some chopped green onions and cilantro into the large pot as a garnish, and then took out the prepared steak from his backpack.

With a data backpack for storage, prepared food will remain in the same state as when it was first made, no matter how long it is stored.

Moreover, the meat of the level 50 yak monster is firm, giving Ishida more room to maneuver and allowing him to use the ingredients in more ways.

"Oh, not bad."

Zhang Xiaoyuan took a bite, her eyes lit up, and she gave Shi Tian a thumbs up.

The surface of this steak is crispy, while the inside is perfectly tender and juicy.

“Brother Yuan, eat as much as you want. I even made a lot.”
