68: The effect of the Immortal Body skill, ever-changing

After some sweet talk, Liu Yang managed to get Shi Yufei's forgiveness, and the huge stone in his heart quietly fell.

As it was nearing the end, he took out several items from his warehouse and traded them over.

Two Intermediate Healing Potions and one primary physique enhancement scroll.

Finally,

he also sent her a list of manufacturing materials for the primary detector and the mid-level detector.

If he had the materials, there would be no harm in just making a finished product and sending it.

Unfortunately, he didn't.

He could only hope her lucky goddess attribute would work and she would gather them soon.

After ending his chat with Shi Yufei, Liu Yang felt the air was sweet.

Then, full of anticipation, he took out the skill book.

【Guardian Exclusive Skill: Immortal Body: As a Guardian, how can one withstand enemy attacks without absolute defense? But with me, everything will no longer be an issue.】

With a clap of his hands, the skill book merged into his body.

He entered the skill page to check, and the information was as follows:

【Skill】: Guardian Exclusive Skill: Immortal Body Lv0

【Effect】: Defense +10%, next level effect: Defense +20%.

【Consumption】: Passive skill, no consumption.

【Cooldown Time】: None.

【Upgrade Condition】: skill book page x5.

“It adds 10% at Lv0?”

Liu Yang was surprised, then looked at his skill book page inventory.

90 pages weren't many.

Upgrading the Second Kill skill wasn't urgent; the key was to save his life first.

Although he didn't know how effective this 10% would be, he had no intention of self-harm to test it.

But pushing it up was definitely the right thing to do.

So, Liu Yang clicked to upgrade.

【Skill】: Guardian Exclusive Skill: Immortal Body Lv1

【Effect】: Defense +20%, next level effect: Defense +30%.

【Consumption】: Passive skill, no consumption.

【Cooldown Time】: None.

【Upgrade Condition】: skill book page x10.

“Huh? It adds so little for one level?”

So he clicked again, and again.

Finally,

【Skill】: Guardian Exclusive Skill: Immortal Body Lv3

【Effect】: Defense +40%, next level effect: Defense +50%.

【Consumption】: Passive skill, no consumption.

【Cooldown Time】: None.

【Upgrade Condition】: skill book page x40.

With 15 skill book page remaining, it was impossible to upgrade again.

“I wonder if this skill is like the Second Kill skill. If it levels up dozens of times, then the attributes…”

But that was just a thought.

In Liu Yang's estimation, it was highly unlikely to be the same.

As for the other Ice Arrow Technique, Liu Yang currently had no intention of upgrading it.

“It seems the rarest resource is still skill book page.”

“No, no matter if I can collect them or not, I can't give up any possibility.”

“So, the order must be placed.”

【Auction House】

【Seller: Liu Yang.】

【Trading Item: Watermelon (each) x1.】

【Demand: skill book page x1.】

【Inventory: 50.】

After careful thought, realizing that everything that needed to be done had been completed, Liu Yang stood up.

Regardless of his current gains, his daily energy value couldn't be wasted.

Every monster represented a considerable amount of materials.

Even if it was killing chickens or rabbits, any material dropped had its use.

Therefore, the energy value must be used up.

Liu Yang drove aimlessly, flying around, searching for traces of Earth Palace Creatures.

Unbeknownst to him, while he was gaining huge harvests, others were not far behind.

Development in various places could be said to be progressing by leaps and bounds.

On a not-so-tall mountain peak, rows of wooden houses were connected together.

In the center of the wooden house cluster was a small square made of bricks and stones.

A two-story pavilion stood peacefully in the square.

In front of the pavilion, a wooden pole stood straight.

And at the top of the wooden pole, a flag embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon and flames fluttered in the wind, rustling.

In the center of the flag, two strong, vigorous characters were embroidered—Yan Long.

Inside the pavilion, people holding swords and knives constantly went in and out.

Their expressions varied: some were indifferent, some joyful, and some sorrowful.

“Commander, there’s a group of Lv32 Earth Palace Creatures lingering three kilometers southwest.”

“Hmm, since they are Lv32 monsters, let the First Squad clear them out.”

“Yes.”

“Commander, five kilometers northwest is a swamp with many Lv20+ poisonous insects.”

“We don’t have very good methods to deal with poisonous insects yet, notify the reconnaissance team over there to come back first!”

“Yes.”

“Commander, almost everyone who can be attracted by the wolf smoke in the surrounding area has come. Should we light wolf smoke on the outer perimeter?”

“Yes, you continue to be responsible for this matter.”

Inside the building,

there was a burly man with a serious face listening to the reports of the incoming and outgoing personnel.

As he listened, he carefully made marks on a blueprint and occasionally issued commands.

Their actions showed a strong military demeanor.

It was not difficult to imagine that the leader was likely an active or retired military officer in reality.

This person was the one who broadcast the advertisement in the world chat channel that time.

Another location.

In a flat plain.

More than ten bovine Earth Palace Creatures, mostly around Lv20, were charging at a petite girl.

The petite girl held a hammer with both hands, standing still.

She faced the charging herd of cattle without fear.

“You silly cows, take a taste of my ‘Overwhelming Force’!”

As the cattle approached, the girl let out a delicate shout, and the giant hammer swung out fiercely.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A huge wave of air vibrated forward in a fan shape.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The cattle were swept away by the airwave, unable to resist the immense force, and were all sent flying.

“Hahaha, sisters, charge!”

“Big Sister has given the order, sisters, charge with me!!!”

With the girl's command, about 20 women suddenly ran out of the grass and rushed straight towards the cattle herd.

They varied in age, held weapons, acted in an organized manner, and were no less capable than men.

That's right.

This girl was Shi Yufei's teammate, the cute foodie, Xia Mo.

The skill she used was precisely from Liu Yang's hand.

In a dense forest.

A figure was frantically fleeing.

What was chasing him was not an Earth Palace Creature, but people.

“Faster, faster, we must not be caught by them, or we’re dead.”

“These beasts, they don't kill monsters, but specialize in killing people instead.”

“Damn it, damn it.”

“Wang Jun, you can't escape. Why don't we give you a quick death? Anyway, in this game, if you don't die today, you'll die sooner or later.”

“Get lost! If you want my life, see if you have the ability to take it.”

“In that case, I will gladly accept.”

As he spoke, a figure appeared from the front, leaving a trail of afterimages.

One moment he was far away.

The next moment, his dagger had already pierced the heart of the person named Wang Jun.

“Kitajo… Kitajo Koji, you will get your retribution sooner or later! I curse you to die a terrible death!”

Kitajo Koji twisted the dagger hilt, and Wang Jun immediately lost his breath.

“Mere swine only boast with their mouths; in terms of strength, they are nothing.”

“To quickly gain strength, I will kill both monsters and people.”

Kitajo Koji pulled out the dagger and wiped the blood clean on the person's body.

Then, with a twist of his hand, the dagger instantly disappeared, unknown where it was hidden.

“Go, loot all the resources from him.”

“Hai, Lord Kitajo.”
