Chapter 191 Destined
After death and rebirth, the upgrade ability recorded by the annual rings is basically no different from the love etude in terms of framework.
That is to say, the conditions for upgrading the annual rings are more stringent.
But Moreau has always believed that this kind of upgrade condition, which is more stringent than the love etude, is actually a good thing.
If you can upgrade just by killing an ordinary person, then the "upper limit" brought by upgrading may become very low.
A more troublesome possibility is that the "upper limit" will be limited or even locked by this simple upgrade method.
Other than the difficulty of upgrading, Morrow didn't find any difference between the two for the time being.
For example, if you reach level "21", you can awaken your design concept ability according to your own needs.
From this point of view, the watershed is probably at level "51".
Because when he rose to level 50, Morrow did not feel the change in "a manifestation of energy" too obviously.
According to this improvement curve, even if he rose to level 60, there would probably be a clear gap with people such as Sisouirmi.
So Morrow has reason to believe that once he reaches level 51, the amount of manifested energy and potential energy will change significantly.
However, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to upgrade.
"Should we reach level 51 first?"
Morrow was thinking about it.
There is only more than a month left before the "death node" is triggered.
The current level is level 50. If it can be upgraded to level 51, the manifested energy will probably experience a qualitative leap.
In addition, the energy of the second annual ring is about to be filled up, only missing about 10%.
The improvement of both of these can provide him with stronger protection.
But the current problem is that enough time must be reserved to deal with the "death node".
Even with Kurt's ability to find and locate people, as time approaches, Moreau doesn't want to lose all his efforts.
"Determine Feitan's whereabouts first."
After thinking about it, Moreau decided to find Feitan first.
Having had plenty of time before, he could make various preparations without any pressure.
There is only one and a half months left, even if it is only the last step, we must treat it carefully.
Morrow and Cote left the secret realm and returned to the cave where the murals were located.
Standing in front of the mural, the two of them had different moods.
“Let’s go.”
Morrow took out the cigarette stick that Kang Zai had left before and stepped towards the entrance of the cave from where he came.
Cotter raised his head and stared at the mural. He looked at it quietly for several more times, then looked away and trotted to keep up with Moreau's footsteps.
The two of them walked all the way to the entrance of the cave.
Not surprisingly, the entrance to the cave was tightly sealed by dense and lush grapevines.
But under the driving effect of the smoke stick, the originally tangled grapevines quickly dispersed, making way for them.
Morrow and Curt walked out of the cave and returned to the ground without much effort.
The Eye of Petrus is located in the Demon Realm, but it is not very deep. It only takes a few days to get out.
Morrow leads the way.
And Kurt took out Feitan's Life Paper Figure and observed its movements.
This life paper man was not made temporarily, but Morrow mentioned before that he wanted to deal with Feitan, and Curt immediately started preparations at that moment.
Hence, Curt even attaches more importance to "finding Feitan" than Moreau.
The next two days.
Morrow and Kurt walked all the way through the Demonic Forest, gradually approaching the border.
On the way, they gradually discovered some traces of human activities.
A place like the Demon Realm has always been a place where opportunities and risks coexist, so there are often people like poachers operating here.
After all, this is a restricted area for humans and contains many resources that can be exchanged for wealth in human society.
Morrow looked at the remains of firewood on the ground and was not surprised.
Judging from these traces, they are getting closer and closer to the border.
At this moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from the distance.
Morrow and Curt looked in the direction of the sound as if reflexively.
In this kind of place, gunshots are usually not caused by professional poachers, but are more likely to be caused by fights between people.
Morrow quickly retracted his gaze and continued to move along the original route.
Curt nodded and followed silently,
The two of them walked forward until nightfall, and did not stop for a break.
A bonfire was lit on the ground, and the flickering light illuminated the faces of Moreau and Curt.
"You should be able to go out tomorrow."
Morrow stared at the bonfire and thought to himself.
While walking through the forest, he will intermittently use "circle" to detect the surrounding environment.
In fact, with his sensitivity to murderous intent, even without using "Yuan", he can basically detect danger immediately, but this can also be regarded as a kind of practice.
Using "circle" is a test of concentration and precision of mind control. Although it is extremely difficult to master, the results can radiate to other aspects in the process of practice.
Hence, during the journey out of the Demon Realm, Moreau had a different feeling.
"Cot."
Suddenly, Moreau felt a breath, quickly stood up from the ground, held the handle of the ruby bird knife with his backhand, and at the same time spoke to remind Cot.
Curt stood up almost at the same time he heard Moreau's voice, already holding the purple bamboo fan in his hand.
At this time, Kurt also felt the aura gradually approaching.
The owner of the breath seems to have no intention of hiding it.
Morrow and Kurt both looked in the direction outside the firelight, and could see a steady flow of thought slowly emerging from the dark forest.
.
Morrow quickly pulled out the red jade bird knife and held it casually in front of him.
Under their gaze, a figure wrapped in thought energy walked out of the shadows and stepped into the firelight.
The person who came was tall, with a tough face, and exuded a calm temperament.
"Lighting a fire in a place like this isn't something——? Huh?"
The man glanced at the bonfire on the ground, then looked at Moreau and Curt, but stopped mid-sentence.
His eyes stopped on Moreau, a little surprised.
MPImmediately he noticed the lingering red jade bird knife in Moreau's hand, and a flash of luster flashed in his eyes, "It's you again, young man."
The visitor looked at Moreau, looking particularly surprised.
Curt alerted Moreau from the corner of his eye. Unexpectedly, the man who suddenly appeared seemed to be an acquaintance of Moreau.
Morrow looked at the man in front of him calmly and said calmly: "This is what I should say. You really like to use this 'way' to get close to others, Benjamin."
This man who did not deliberately conceal his aura before appearing was a food hunter that Moreau had met before.
Hearing Moreau calling the wrong name, Benjamin’s eyes twitched and he corrected himself.
Morrow did not speak, but looked at Benjamin calmly, with no intention of putting away the red jade sword in front of him.
His attitude is very obvious, that is, he hopes Benjamin can stay away from them.
Benjamin certainly saw what Moreau meant, but he pretended not to understand. He raised his hand and pointed at the bonfire, reminding him kindly: "This is a relatively peripheral area of the Zekong Demonic Domain. Normally, there are many poachers active. You are here——"
"So what can you do?"
Morrow simply interrupted Benjamin's words.
Benjamin confirmed it slightly, then slowly put down his hand, looking at Moreau's obviously changed body shape with interest.
He recalled that when he first met this young man, he knew that he was the type who had an extreme lack of trust in strangers.
The young man was in a weak position at that time, so he chose to actively avoid and leave.
Half a year has passed, and although the young man in front of me has shown a similar attitude, there is also a difference, that is, strength.
Under this strength, the young man showed a completely different rough attitude from the first contact.
Under normal circumstances, Benjamin would turn around and leave.
But if the other person has something he wants, then it is different.
Benjamin placed his satchel at his feet. The contents of this bag were the trophies he had snatched from poachers.
After putting the satchel away, he looked at Moreau and smiled: "It seems that you don't welcome me, but you should know that I have no ill intentions, which is why I didn't deliberately hide my aura."
Morrow glanced at the satchel that Benjamin had put down, and just used A calm tone warned: "I really don't welcome you, so I hope you can disappear in front of our eyes."
Seeing Benjamin's smile, Moreau couldn't help but smile, and casually raised the red jade bird knife in front of his eyes.
"Have you taken a fancy to this knife?"
"Oh?"
Benjamin looked at the bird's knife that Moreau held in front of his eyes, and observed at the same time After wiping the knot on Moreau's body, he asked calmly: "Why do you say that?"
"Stop pretending."
Moreau held the knife in his backhand, his eyes gradually becoming colder.
Benjamin was silent for a moment, then quietly touched the ruby boning knife with his right hand, then naturally pulled it out and held it in his hand.
His eyes fell on the red jade poultry knife in Moreau's hand, with a trace of unconcealable longing in his tone, "Moro, the poultry knife among the Seven Kitchen Knives of the famous Sailuo, you are not a food hunter, so you cannot understand my current mood. I think that no food hunter can be indifferent to the Seven Kitchen Knives."
At this point, Benjamin has opened the sperm pores in his body and released the manifestation energy to the maximum extent.
He looked directly at Moreau, his eyes full of oppression: "I do like your knife, but I don't want to embarrass you,
If you are willing to hand over the knife, I will leave here immediately."
While saying this, he tried his best to restrain his murderous intention.
Morrow knows very well that Benjamin is the type who adapts to the situation.
When he encounters people who are not threatening and worthless, he may behave very decently and even be willing to lend a helping hand.
But once his interests are touched, this guy will not hesitate to take action, and in order to cover up his behavior, he will attach great importance to cleaning up his tail.
At this time, the vague murderous intention has already made clear his intention.
It is useless to say more.
Morrow suddenly opened the sperm pores all over his body, releasing the maximum manifestation energy.
At this moment, Benjamin moved.
Hand holding a ruby boning knife, his figure was like lightning, and he rushed straight towards Kurt.
However, while taking action, more of his attention was inevitably attracted by the thought energy on Moreau's body.
How is it possible to have that level of anger?
In just half a year, there have been such huge changes! ?
A flash of surprise flashed in Benjamin's eyes.
He was keeping an eye on Moreau's reaction, so when Moreau laughed, he decisively attacked the weaker-looking Cotter first.
At this moment, he was already on the verge of leaving the bowstring.
So much so that even if he noticed that Morrow's strength had undergone earth-shaking changes, it was too late to stop.
When Curt saw Benjamin suddenly attacking, how could he not understand that the opponent was trying to pick out the weak ones first? He immediately snorted coldly, and a murderous intention as cold as a razor edge emerged from his deep purple eyes.
However, Kurt quickly noticed something, and immediately gave up the idea of attacking, and instead retreated two positions to increase the distance.
At this moment,
Morrow dodged over, picked up the hook with the knife in his hand, and hit Benjamin's boning knife.
.
Two seven-piece kitchen knives collided suddenly, sending out a spark with a crimson luster.
Benjamin only felt a heavy force coming from the knife, his face changed slightly, he pulled back to release the force, and got rid of the current situation of parrying each other.
Immediately, he took a step forward and drove the boning knife to stab Moreau's hand tendon at a cruel angle.
Morrow's terrifyingly calm eyes swept over him. At this moment of decline in his attack, instead of temporarily avoiding the sharp edge, he bent his elbow and actually held the smaller blade of the boning knife directly in the crook of his arm.
"What!?"
Benjamin's pupils shrank sharply.
What a fast flow—
At that moment, he clearly saw that Moreau, in a very short period of time, directed more of the energy gathered on his palms and swords back to his arms.
It is also by this operation that he can clamp his sharp boning knife with his physical body.
"This guy's strength is not good, I might have to retreat first, and then find a way to get his knife."
In the blink of an eye, Benjamin made a wise decision.
"Heat Bomb"
Benjamin decisively used his telekinesis ability, and the telepathy gathered on the boning knife suddenly burst out with a strong wind pressure,
and knocked Moro back.
After that, Benjamin did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but retreated decisively.
He was very cautious and did not expose his back to Moreau even when he withdrew from the battle circle.
Although this method of withdrawal will affect the speed to a certain extent, it is safer.
After a few moments, he stepped back to the satchel on the ground. Benjamin bent down and reached out to pick up the satchel.
At this moment,
A piercing red light struck through the air, but it was a bird's knife entwined with thoughts.
Benjamin just picked up his satchel and saw the knife flying towards him in the air, so he could only dodge in a hurry.
It was thrown directly over·
Benjamin's heart moved. When he looked at Moreau again, he could not see Moreau's figure in his field of vision, and his heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.
His sense of danger made him swing the boning knife and stab behind him at this moment.
Morrow appeared behind Benjamin, raised his hand, and clamped Benjamin's right wrist holding the knife, while his other hand also controlled Benjamin's left arm.
At this moment, a flying star pierced the night and shot toward Benjamin.
Morrow suppressed Benjamin's body and used him as a shield to meet the incoming flying stars.
"Stop being so greedy in the next life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Benjamin was hit in the chest by a flying star before he could react.
Suddenly, his chest was full of blood and flesh, with an unbelievable look on his face, and he died on the spot.
Morrow held Benjamin's body steady until the remnants of the meteor's explosion completely disappeared, then he let go.
Poof.
Benjamin's body fell to the ground and made a sound.
Morrow then looked at the growth rings on the back of his hand.
Not upgraded·
The experience mechanism is on the one hand, and on the other hand, Benjamin's level is relatively low, only in his early 40s.
I haven’t seen him for more than half a year, but his strength has not improved at all.
Speaking of half a year, I seem to have forgotten something.
Morrow's eyes were full of thought.
Kurt walked quickly, but squatted down, reached out and opened the satchel on the ground.
Morrow came back to his senses and looked at Curt's actions.
"Curt, what are you doing?"
"Change."
"Curt said matter-of-factly.
