Chapter 22: A chance encounter with a green toad
As time passed, ten days passed.
In the fight against various spirit beasts in Daxu Mountain, Lu Ping'an's combat skills and experience have greatly increased.
Outside the cave that was previously used as a nest by the Kui wolves, Lu Ping'an was eating raw roasted spirit beast meat.
In this ten-year period, the group of Kui wolves died and fled, and this cave has become his site.
"The system self-check is completed, the additional organs are still not equipped, and the rest of the functions are normal.
The system bloodline value is 112/200. "
The system announcement echoed in Lu Ping's mind.
"Hey, hey, this is the tenth day, why hasn't it been repaired?"
Lu Ping'an angrily threw the half-bitten beast bone aside. If you can't use the mad war thorn armor, his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
The voice of the system calmly said: "It can spend 100 blood points to increase the recovery speed by 10%."
"Um..." Lu Ping'an was completely speechless.
The existing 112 blood points in the system, but he saved it after a few days of desperate living, and it took 100 points to only increase the recovery speed by 10%. This transaction is really a loss.
This devouring system is good, but if something goes wrong, it is really a headache to maintain.
"By the way, how many blood points are needed to unlock the function of returning the bloodline bar?" Lu Ping'an asked again.
The system voice replied in detail: "The three additional functions of the secondary system all require 100 blood points to unlock, and the system can also be upgraded to get a free unlock opportunity."
"Oh." Lu Ping'an nodded gently, "Well, I want to ask, what new function options can be added when the system reaches level three?"
"Sorry, your authority is not enough, the system can't tell." The system's voice replied.
"Um...well, then forget it." Lu Ping'an thought for a while, temporarily giving up on developing the system.
He took out the spirit turtle shell from his sleeve, preparing to refine the ancient magic core again.
Although the spirit turtle shell was always carried by him, because he was afraid of being accidentally injured by the hostility in it, Lu Pingan did not interrupt using it to kill the enemy when he was fighting against Chen Hao or escaping from the pursuit of Kui wolves.
"Prepare to swallow, start assisting."
Lu Pingan gave an instruction to the Devouring System, placed the magic core in his palm, and began to absorb the aura in it.
After he was promoted to the seventh level of the martial art realm, his Qi Sea scale expanded again. If he could successfully refine this magic core, he would definitely be able to fill the expanded part.
At that time, Lu Ping'an could attack the Martial Dao Realm Eightfold.
It's a pity that the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny, and the system broadcast of the failure of refining comes: "The system level is too low to assist the host to swallow it. Please upgrade the system and try again."
Although Lu Pingan lasted for about half a stick of incense this time, in the end, his connection with the core of the beast core was broken, and the amount of aura he had absorbed was not much.
It seemed that the difficulty of swallowing this magic core was much higher than he had imagined. Without upgrading the system, he could only wait for his cultivation level to improve before trying.
"It's time to leave here." Lu Ping'an collected the magic core, extinguished the bonfire with his palm wind, and prepared to go deeper into the forest to practice.
The magic core can't be swallowed, so replace it with a beast core with a lower grade, and by the way, it can also accumulate some system blood value.
The system is not in a hurry to upgrade, everything is for the purpose of filling the sea of energy and improving the realm, how much blood can be saved.
The deeper areas of Daxu Mountain are sparsely wooded and dominated by swamps. Here, the most dangerous spirit beast is a sublime mysterious crocodile.
Lu Pingan remembered his father telling himself that the biggest divine crocodile can grow to three feet in length and weigh several thousand catties, and can easily bite through half a foot of iron armor.
Because the divine power crocodile's intelligence is low, it was rated as low-grade Xuan-level, but in fact, its combat power is not weaker than the middle-level Xuan-level, or even the high-level mysterious beasts.
And if it is a group of supernatural crocodiles, then even the spirit beasts of the ground level have to walk around when they see them.
Of course, for the current Lu Ping'an, the supernatural crocodile is not something he can do.
Lu Ping'an deeply learned the lessons from the previous mistaken entry into Kui Lang's den, and after passing through the known habits of various spirit beasts, he set off.
It is already mid-April, everything is warming up, and the climate in Dawei Mountain is getting hotter day by day. This feeling is even more obvious after entering the swamp area.
Lu Pingan chopped down a few giant dragon bamboos, made three simple bamboo rafts, and lined them up in the swamp.
For safety's sake, he himself stood on the bamboo raft in the middle, and placed raw animal flesh on the two bamboo rafts.
In this way, if there is a magical crocodile approaching, they will definitely choose the bamboo rafts at both ends to attack, and Lu Ping’an can have more reaction and escape time.
Above the swamp, the warm wind was blowing, and Lu Ping'an couldn't help yawning. Suddenly, he felt something falling on the bamboo raft in front.
Opening his eyes again, Lu Pingan was surprised to find that the piece of spirit beast meat on the bamboo raft in front had disappeared!
"Huh? What's going on!" Lu Ping'an felt cold behind his back.
He never expected that he had just entered the swamp area when he was spotted by the spirit beasts here.
Except for the disappearance of the beast flesh, the bamboo raft is still in good condition. Obviously, this is not the ghost of a supernatural crocodile with a simple and crude hunting style.
Lu Ping'an immediately ran the aura body guard, carefully guarding the surroundings.
Cuckoo...
After holding his breath, Lu Pingan vaguely heard the croaking of frogs on a huge lotus leaf on the left front of the bamboo raft.
What is strange is that in Lu Ping'an's eyes, except for a few dew, there is no shadow of a living thing on the lotus leaf, and there are no extra water plants around the lotus leaf to hide.
"Could it be that……"
When Lu Ping'an thought, a speculation emerged in his mind.
He drew out the saber-tooth dagger pinned at the back of his waist, used the means of using Qi to protect things, and controlled it to slowly fly towards the lotus leaf.
When the dagger flew about one arm away from the lotus leaf, suddenly, an invisible vortex appeared in the void, and the dagger was quickly sucked into the center of the lotus leaf.
"Oh my god, it really is it!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Pingan couldn't help but exclaimed. Regardless of the hidden danger in the swamp, he flew off the bamboo raft and splashed a handful of mud on the lotus leaf at the fastest speed.
In the next moment, on the huge lotus leaf, there appeared a living creature covered with mud-a green jade toad with stealth ability!
