Chapter 717: To be on the safe side, upgrade!
"me……"
Vladimir was like a tape in a cassette player, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence.
In the end, it was the Toad-Headed Demon Elder who took two steps forward and patted him on the shoulder meaningfully, which prevented Vladimir from suffocating to death on the spot.
"...Okay, cooperate well and don't do anything stupid. After all, it's not easy to get to the Demon Prince..."
The latter seemed to have his spine pulled out and his whole body was limp.
If there hadn't been a troll blocking him from behind, he would have turned into a puddle of mud on the ground.
Kagmo and Bo Gang on the side were so scared that they almost pissed themselves!
The Demon Elder's few words just now actually made his point very clear -
You are the ones who created the mess, so you should take the blame.
Cooperate honestly, take the initiative to shoulder responsibilities, and everything will be fine when things start to turn around.
If you dare to evade responsibility by cheating,
Not only will you have to bear all the responsibility for the crimes, you may also be killed on the spot!
all in all,
The three demon princes of Vladimir can't leave.
We must wait outside the entrance until Evelina and Lu Li come out of the ancient basin.
"Now, tell me the story." Another demon elder also took off his hood, revealing a deformed head covered with bone spurs.
Two clusters of blue-purple flames burned in his empty skull eye sockets, as if one's soul would be sucked in if one stared at it for a moment longer.
"Describe to us in detail what happened between you and the two challengers."
"Oh, by the way, you should all know my methods, so don't even think about lying..."
……
Inside the ancient basin.
The starting point of the eighth section.
Lu Li took out two bottles of purification potion and poured them into his mouth, while activating [Extreme Healing] to heal the injuries on his body.
He had just passed the seventh section in one breath, almost exhausting the energy stored in the power bank on his back.
Also, because the frequency of attacks in the center of the road section is dense, if you free up your hands to make up for it, there will inevitably be defensive gaps.
So Lu Li could only grit his teeth and hold on!
Fortunately, he arrived at the starting point of the next section without any danger, which gave him a chance to catch his breath.
"I was able to cope with the difficulty of the sixth section, and I only used up five of my energy chargers... I didn't expect that the seventh section would consume twenty of them..."
"The concentration of demonic energy in the surrounding environment has also risen by several levels. It seems a bit difficult to block it with only the sacred talent [Holy Barrier]..."
"If we continue at this pace, the eighth section might consume eighty power banks, which is enough energy for 400 people!"
"I only have 100 full bars of energy left in my ring... It's not safe no matter how you look at it..."
"How about... a level up?"
With this in mind, Lu Li took out the [Vision Dissolving Potion] that he had hidden in his ring for a long time.
This was originally done after he completed his job change to level 30, thinking that if a powerful alien enemy attacked, he could improve his strength in a short period of time and deal with it.
however,
Because things went much more smoothly than he had imagined.
So the potion was kept in the ring and never used.
"If I remember correctly, the crystals dissolved in the mixture should be enough to support me to reach Lv.69..."
"Forget it, we have to upgrade anyway, so just to be on the safe side, we might as well raise it a bit!"
[Elemental Crystal Dissolving Potion] is a mythical quality item that can dissolve elemental crystals of any level, absorbing and storing the experience points contained therein.
Although drinking solvents can only gain 80% of the experience points contained in them,
But there is no upper limit on solubility, which completely makes up for this shortcoming!
Having made up his mind, Lu Li immediately began to take out the crystals from the space ring and put them into the potion.
Even the tenth-order colored crystal given by the yellow-clothed traveling merchant was dissolved without any hesitation.
After emptying the inventory, Lu Li still felt it was not safe enough, so he took out the [Living Nest] and summoned the soul guard Luo Yonghao from it.
The latter had stayed in the [Living Nest] for a long time, leading a life of cattle and horses, "turning a deaf ear to the outside world and focusing on tilling the fields", and was unaware that Lu Li had brought him to the depths of the ancient basin.
I thought the other party was still staying in the Chen family's main territory.
When I just came out, I was almost choked to death by the thick demonic energy around me.
Fortunately, Lu Li was well prepared and gave him a [Divine Shield] in time, thus preventing the Soul Guard from being rapidly corroded and turned into a shadow monster.
"Boss, what are you doing?" Luo Yonghao stared at the horrific scene of flesh and blood around him in amazement, muttering:
"The demonic energy is so strong that it's no exaggeration to call it hell..."
"Almost..." Lu Li grinned and said perfunctorily, then went straight to the point:
"How many Yuanjing do you have left?"
Luo Yonghao took the "promotion path" and the innate ability he chose was still the [Underworld Lamp] he had in his previous life.
The diamond-grade 'Corpse Control' talent, plus the [Staff of the Dead] that Lu Li specially left for him, allowed this 'Dead Farmer' to raise a large number of corpse soldiers.
Different from Lu Li's soul soldiers,
Whether it's the corpse-eating ant-man or the ghoul,
As long as the corpse soldiers have physical bodies, they must eat in order to maintain the strength of their bodies and ensure evolution.
So on weekdays, whenever Lu Li came across a corpse, no matter if it was a monster or a player's, he would strip it naked and throw it into the living nest.
Just to fill those hungry mouths.
But later, because of the increase in the number of corpses and Lu Li's own laziness.
He began to stop carefully cleaning the equipment and props from the corpses.
Only pick up the precious and useful ones.
After confirming that there were no things like [Self-Destruct Talisman] or [Desecration Water] that could damage the living nest, they threw the corpse directly into it.
Luo Yonghao is responsible for collecting and sorting them.
After a period of time, he would confiscate it.
In addition to equipment props, potion materials, Yuanjing is also an important accumulation.
But ever since Lu Li discovered that Luo Yonghao could also consume Yuan Crystals inside the living nest to extend the nest's "time acceleration" properties, he deliberately excluded the Yuan Crystals from his routine confiscation.
Do not ask,
Asking is laziness.
Who would bother to do it manually when it can be fully automatic?
But now, it's time to collect some!
"Well, I haven't counted them carefully. They are piled up into a small hill, about five meters high, four and a half in total."
Luo Yonghao still looked confused, but he still gestured and said:
"When I usually charge the living nests, I always use the low-level ones first. When they are almost used up, I will use the high-level ones."
"The most abundant thing in there now should be the fourth-level crystal..."
Lu Li made a rough estimate and nodded slightly:
"Okay, take this in, put all the crystals in, and then bring it out to me."
As he spoke, the crystal dissolving mixture was stuffed into Luo Yonghao's arms:
"I will adjust the time flow inside the Living Nest to the fastest speed later to shorten the time you need to invest in the Yuan Crystal."
"But hurry up, I don't have much time to wait."
Lu Li looked around, his eyes gradually becoming solemn.
According to the prompts on the map, although the starting point of the road section is a safe zone, it is only a temporary safe zone.
If you stay too long, those flesh and blood monsters wandering on the road of pain will come to you on their own initiative.
