Chapter 19: The New Tender Valley Worm

Starting with a dog, all skills rely on burning?

Squatting on the Abyss Island fishing, Mu Hua gradually calmed down his inner turmoil and calmly thought about the impact of the Burning Source Furnace on himself.

The Burning Source Furnace is very powerful. It can not only smelt magic cores and biological corpses, but can also be used to refine magic potions.

However, refining magic potions is more complicated. In addition to preparing the corresponding materials, it also requires a clear understanding of the material ratio, refining time, the demand for different magic elements for each potion, etc.

That is to say, you must be able to refine the potion yourself. The Incineration Furnace provides a convenient and fast way to refine the potion.

There is no need to think too much about this aspect for the time being. Mass production of magic potions is not a good idea. If you want to steal business from the "pharmacy companies", no matter in your past life or this life, you either have a good father or you are the father yourself, otherwise you are courting death.

The way the Burning Furnace collects materials is a bit like an alchemist evolving from a potion master.

However, compared with the smelting of magic cores and corpses, the function of refining medicine can only be regarded as a foil.

Skill stones are convenient, but for Mu Hua, they are not the most eye-catching among all the products, after all, they have personal attribute requirements.

Although the skill stone avoided the magic adaptability link, Mu Hua at least knew that if the magic adaptability was insufficient, forcibly using high-level magic scrolls might lead to spell casting failure or even magic backlash.

I think this situation should also apply to self-casting.

For the time being, his own attributes are too low, and he doesn't even have a chance to try high-grade magic skill stones. Mu Hua is waiting to evaluate the skill stones.

Compared to the skill stones, the Hundred Refinements Secret Stone is completely a BUG-level existence.

Improving spells is more demanding than improving combat skills and martial arts. It is a slow and tedious task for everyone.

The most efficient method is to construct a model of the technique during meditation and perform deductions, but this will inevitably require giving up the physical training that meditation can provide.

If one does not use meditation to hone spells, repeatedly constructing spell models in one's mind can be considered a regular training method for magicians.

However, that training is more about spellcasting skills, which is too inefficient in improving magic proficiency and is very energy-consuming.

The next step is probably to cast more magic and do more actual combat.

And one's own magic power has set strict restrictions in this regard. After all, drinking too much magic potion in a short period of time can cause big problems.

After thinking about it, Mu Hua picked out the Bailian Secret Stone first, identifying it as something he must take when it appeared in the future.

The forced summoning orb that follows is extremely effective, but the strength of the contractor himself seems to directly affect the monsters that can be summoned.

Mu Hua had to sigh once again that his foundation was too weak. It seemed that the preparations he made for the golden finger in his early years had gone astray. Youth~~.

Soul Dust and Philosopher's Stone are both good things, but their significance to Mu Hua is unclear for the time being.

However, you don't have to think too much about these two things. You need to smelt monster corpses, and you will have what you need. They are shipped regularly, and there is no randomness.

As for the attribute crystal, it must be what Mu Hua values ​​the most. Its own attributes are the foundation of everything. It is not known whether it is a specialty of the abyss or can be burned out by monsters from the outside world.

As he thought about it, Mu Hua even considered whether the person could be burned out, but he quickly changed his mind and dismissed the idea.

The reason why I don't dare to think about it is not because of any sense of public morality or ethics, but simply because I don't want to commit suicide.

Never mind whether the monsters have other intentions or not. After all, humans have been fighting monsters for thousands of years. It’s better not to think about anything outrageous.

"Hmm?" Mu Hua was quite surprised when he saw the fishing rod in his hand shaking after thinking about something random in his mind.

This time the fishing was done very quickly. It was only an hour or so before the fishing rod started to move. It turns out that the fishing spot is very important.

The fishing rod responded and Monday became more energetic.

Even though Zhou Yi seems simple and tough in front of Mu Hua, the blood of Warcraft and demons makes him quite ferocious and bloodthirsty.

Although the species this guy can kill in hell may be very limited, he is extremely interested in biting the psychopaths coming out of the abyss. Perhaps it is a kind of satisfaction from a sense of accomplishment?
Ponyo, Ponyo... Mu Hua was stunned by the thing moving at the end of the fishing rod.

White, plump, soft, and bright white... A big bug?

That’s right, it’s a worm, about half the length of an ordinary person’s arm, and it looks like a white maggot, but it doesn’t make people feel disgusted.

Mu Hua looked at Zhou Yi with an inquiring look.

"This is..." Monday's expression was a little confused, as if he was wondering what this thing was.

There are too many different kinds of insects in hell, and the law of the jungle among the demons never ceases. Along with death, there is never a shortage of things like maggots.

He lifted the rod and threw the worm that was somehow attached to the fishing line onto the island. To be on the safe side, Mu Hua directly let the two ravens attack the maggots.

"Gah!" Two ravens cawed loudly. A bug? They could finally become the main force!

"Ji~~" the ravens' attack caused the maggots to scream. Facing the ravens' pecking, the maggots seemed to have no means of fighting back. The ravens were arrogant, but the next moment, a strong dark magic power emanated from the maggots.

It was dark and deep, with star-like points of light, yet it seemed like an eternal night without any light.

"Ah! The New Tender Valley worm! The New Tender Valley demon worm! Kill it! Kill it quickly!" A terrified bark came from Monday's mouth. While shouting, Monday pounced on the maggot regardless of anything.

"Damn it! Didn't you say that the abyss monsters can't release magic?!" Mu Hua felt the seriousness of the situation from Monday's reaction. He cursed and questioned, and also chopped the maggots with an axe.

"Puff~!" It was like chopping off a tough and thick tire, or like chopping off a non-Newtonian fluid with great force.

Well, Newton or something, that guy also needs to be cremated when he comes to this world.

But it must be said that Zhou Yi's biting and Mu Hua's chopping, chiseling and stabbing did not touch the maggot's body. They were all blocked outside by the thick magic conversion substance outside the maggot's body.

"Abyss monsters cannot release magic! But this is the instinct of the New Valley Demon Worm. It only has one way to attack. It is building a demon body and it has no choice!"

Monday anxiously responded to Mu Hua's question. Mu Hua felt that if it had dog hair, it would be in a state of explosive fur now.

"Hurry! Throw it back into the abyss! It will be dead once it takes shape! Don't be fooled by it, they are higher-level demons!" Monday shouted, and while barking, he had already started to use his mouth to push the fat bug on the ground.

A higher demon may not be born powerful, but a higher demon who lives long will definitely be powerful.

The lower, middle, and upper levels of the demon species do not refer to the combat power level of monsters, but represent the growth potential and racial talents of the demon species.

How powerful is a high-ranking demon living in the abyss? Is there any need to ask? Mu Hua was also getting anxious.

The insect in front of him could not be distinguished from the head and face. It was long, thick and fat, without head or tail, white, tender and soft. Mu Hua could not even find its eyes and mouthparts.

All I saw was magical matter wrapped around a half-arm-long worm flowing and twisting. It was the manifestation of high-concentration magic materializing, and it also seemed like the progress of Mu Hua's manifestation of soul-specific weapons was slowed down.

The magical substance on the insect made Mu Hua feel a bit like his soul-specific weapon, but he didn't know whether the spell level was too high or the abyss had a negative impact on the insect.

Mu Hua felt that the insect's magic power was shaping abnormally slowly. This couldn't be the insect's first shaping. Was it a flaw in the casting?
Regardless of whether there were any flaws in the spell, Mu Hua did not dare to underestimate the chance at this moment.

Mu Hua didn't know what it would look like after it was shaped, but the magic power emanating from the insect was already making him tremble with uncontrollable fear.

This is a warning from biological instinct.

The thick magical substance extended its tentacles and firmly fixed the New Valley Bug to the ground. It was a small bug, but Monday, with a physical fitness of 70, could not shake it at all.

Seeing that he could not dig up the insects in the new tender grain and had no way to harm them, Zhou Yi urged Mu Hua in panic.

"Run! Master, get out of here! Get out of here quickly!"

Mu Hua stared at the insect in front of him and suddenly took out a revolver covered with inscriptions.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and a powerful origin bullet broke through the magical substances on the surface of the maggots. Because those magical substances were still in a semi-liquid state, a gap was instantly created in the magical substances covering the New Tender Valley worms.

"Bang!" A series of shots came, and the origin bullets penetrated the dispersed magical matter, and then drilled into the body of the New Valley Worm without any hindrance.

"Chi~!" The insects in the New Valley let out a mournful scream, and the magical substance that had originally expanded to a diameter of more than half a person's height began to shrink and condense.

But fortunately, the area opened up by the origin bomb was not filled up instantly.

"Bang!" The gunshot rang again. Mu Hua had already called up the furnace panel. He stared at his level. The level experience did not change. This bug that was suspected to be a higher-level demon was not dead! Then he fired another shot.

"Oh!"

The magic substance suddenly dispersed, and the magic substance scattered all over the ground was like pieces of mushy jelly. These "jellies" shrank rapidly in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace in a breath.

In Mu Hua's attribute panel, the experience bar under the level was swiping frantically, and the level value increased like crazy, 25, 32, 41...

Until the final level stayed at level 63 and the level value no longer fluctuated, Mu Hua felt relieved. The insect in the New Valley was considered dead.

Looking at the limp white worm in front of him and glancing at his 42 freely allocated attribute points, Mu Hua felt uneasy.

Unlike killing monsters with your own abilities, when you use external objects such as guns and scrolls made by others to kill monsters, you can only get 10%-50% of the experience.

Mu Hua wasn't sure how much experience he got from the bug, but the Goblin Mage only increased his experience bar by one level, while the New Valley Bug raised his level by 42.

It’s terrible. It’s terrible.

No wonder the dog was so panicked. They dared to let the bug stay there for a while longer. This thing was definitely not something they could afford to provoke.
