From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 11 Skills: Scouting Eagle

"The world of abyss is more terrifying than I expected." Su Muyu sighed.

"Do you regret it?" Lu Heng looked into her eyes, wanting to confirm whether there was any sign of retreat in her eyes, but he was also worried that she really regretted it.

Su Muyu shook her head and said firmly: "Before I decided to come in with you, I had already considered it seriously. Now that I have made the decision, I will not regret it."

Just as the two were talking, Lu Heng heard a "crunch" sound of bones being broken.

Shhh!
Lu Heng made a gesture to keep quiet, then walked lightly towards the direction where the sound came from.

Turning the corner of the street, I saw a gray-black creature under the eaves of a house, gnawing on the bones of an unknown creature in its hand.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a gargoyle.

Judging from its size, it should be a level 4 gargoyle.

Lu Heng asked Su Muyu to hide first, then he circled around and made sure there were no other abyss monsters around. Then he drew out his iron sword and slowly approached.

The gargoyle suddenly turned around and saw someone appear. It immediately spread its wings and swooped over.

Lu Heng did not dodge or evade, but rushed towards the gargoyle like an arrow.

He used the high agility of [As Agile as a Dragon] to the fullest, leaped forward, released the source energy to condense the power of thunder and lightning on the sword, and chopped down heavily with both hands holding the sword.

The gargoyle turned its head and let out a sharp scream, immediately turning its skin into petrification, and folded its wings to block the sword light.

Bang!
The sword struck the gargoyle's rocky skin, and there was a loud "bang" sound like it hit granite.

The gargoyle fell from mid-air, rolled on the ground for a few times, and quickly got up without suffering any serious injuries.

Just as Lu Heng expected, the gargoyle's defense is the highest among low-level demons, and its skin can be petrified, making it highly resistant to elemental damage such as fire, lightning, and ice.

This means that the threat posed by [Lightning Weapons] to it is very low and cannot cause much effective damage.

However, the gargoyle has a fatal weakness: once its skin turns into rock, it loses the ability to fly.

So, you can slowly grind it to death.

Lu Hengquan was practicing the Seven-Step Sword Technique as he chased after the gargoyle and slashed at it, each strike faster than the last.

The sword tip slashed the rock surface, causing sparks to burst out.

The gargoyle was enraged, hissing angrily and waving its claws to fight back.

The level 4 gargoyle is very powerful, with an average attribute of 13 points.

Except for agility, Lu Heng's other attributes are not as high as it.

However, this gargoyle has no spiritual skills, so attributes such as spirit and perception have no effect on combat.

There is only a slight difference in strength.

Lu Heng had sufficient combat experience, and with the second level of the Seven-Section Sword Technique, he made up for the difference in strength.

With repeated hard-hitting blows, his swordsmanship proficiency began to improve.

[Use swordsmanship to fight, swordsmanship proficiency +1]

[Use swordsmanship to fight, swordsmanship proficiency +1]

Finally, after a sword chop, the proficiency of swordsmanship was fully mastered (2000/2000).

[Mastery level swordsmanship training is complete, entering the third level of swordsmanship realm - subtle level. ]

As Lu Heng's swordsmanship level improved, the subtle differences in his swordsmanship level were reflected in the details between stillness and movement when he swung his sword.

When the sword is drawn, it is as fierce as a tiger emerging from the mountains.

When the sword was put away, the sword light flashed like thunder.

Lu Heng's sword was faster than the last, and he used the slightest change in strength to launch the fastest attack.

The gargoyle was being beaten down, screaming in anger and trying to fight back with its claws.

However, after Lu Heng's swordsmanship level was improved, the attack power of his sword increased dramatically. The sword light slashed on the gargoyle's rock skin, shattering pieces of rock into pieces.

The gargoyle was forced to scream continuously, giving up its defensive actions and forcefully using its claws to counterattack.

Lu Heng seized the opportunity and swung his sword vertically.

The sword blade emitted a crescent-shaped sword light, which slashed the gargoyle's shoulder and created a gap in the gargoyle's rocky surface.

A gleam of light flashed in Lu Heng's eyes. He aimed at the gap and thrust out his sword "Piercing the Clouds" directly at the gap.

The gargoyle sensed the approaching danger and evaded with agility to avoid the sword.

The swordsmanship at the subtle level still has the ability to fine-tune the sword's landing point when the sword tip reaches the end. Even if the gargoyle dodges, Lu Heng still accurately pierces the gap in the rock skin.

puff!
Hey!
A sword pierced through the gargoyle's body, and the tip of the sword came out from behind.

While piercing through the gargoyle's body, Lu Heng activated the [Lightning Weapon], and violent lightning burst out from the gargoyle's body.

The gargoyle let out a series of shrill roars, struggled and twisted desperately, and finally turned into ashes in the lightning.

Lu Heng sheathed the sword with a clean and neat move.

The gargoyle's remaining demonic energy condensed into a demon crystal core.

[Hunting gargoyles, absorbing 40 points of demonic energy. ]

During Lu Heng's battle.

Su Muyu was very calm. He knew that facing such a terrifying monster, he could not help, and the best thing to do was not to become a burden.

So she picked up a riot shield and held it in front of her, leaning her back against the wall and standing out of the battle.

She watched Lu Heng swinging his sword and fighting with a light in his eyes, and she liked the feeling of standing behind him more and more.

At this moment, she made up her mind to be the strongest backing and help him carve out a path to heaven in the doomsday catastrophe.

After Lu Heng killed the gargoyle, he picked up the demon crystal core on the ground and placed it in his palm to check its properties.

[Scout Eagle Crystal Core: Absorb crystal core energy, with a chance to acquire the "Summon Scout Eagle" skill.]

[Scouting Eagle: Summons a scout eagle to perform scout missions in the sky. The scout eagle has the ability to detect invisibility, and the invisibility detection range = 1×Perception attribute. Skill consumption: 20 energy points. Skill level: D level.]

Seeing this skill, Lu Heng couldn't help but smile.

This skill is very practical and very suitable for perception-type psychics. It can work perfectly with Su Muyu's talents.

Lu Heng turned around and waved at her: "Don't just stand there, come over and try to see if you can learn this skill."

Absorbing skill crystal cores only gives you a chance to learn a skill, not a 100% chance of learning it.

"Oh."

Su Muyu agreed and took two quick steps over.

Lu Heng threw the crystal core to her and said, "Just like before, crush it and absorb the energy inside."

Su Muyu was experienced this time. He put down his shield, held the crystal core with both hands, and squeezed it with all his strength.

The crystal core turned into a stream of energy and flowed into the body along the palm.

"Try to control the energy, flow it into the skill slot, and condense it into an energy ball." Lu Heng reminded from the side.

Su Muyu nodded, and followed this method, allowing the energy to flow into the first skill slot, slowly gathering into a walnut-sized energy ball.

After the energy was gathered, she quickly took a look at the attribute panel and said happily: "I have learned it. This skill is now on my panel."

"Try the effect of the skill." Lu Heng reminded.

"Ah."

Su Muyu nodded in agreement, then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to use his skills.

A stream of energy surged out from the skill slot, gathered in the palms along the blood vessels of both hands, and then slowly condensed into a reconnaissance eagle with a wingspan of 40 cm.

The translucent reconnaissance eagle flapped its wings and flew up, circling in the air.

Without Lu Heng's reminder, Su Muyu closed her eyes and began to try out her initial talent [Summoning Vision].

The moment she closed her eyes, her vision changed immediately, as if her eyes had grown onto a reconnaissance eagle and she could look down at the ground from the sky.

The feeling was so wonderful that she was completely immersed in this wonderful experience.

She controlled the reconnaissance eagle and circled it around herself and Lu Heng. She felt very happy and a little excited.

That's when.

Suddenly, she saw a translucent object moving in her field of vision, moving along the wall, coming out of the alley, and pouncing on Lu Heng's back.

As the distance got closer, she could see more clearly that this thing had sharp claws and ferocious horns.

This is clearly a demon.

Su Muyu rushed towards Lu Heng quickly: "Be careful!"

The moment she hugged Lu Heng, she was hit hard on the back and was knocked flying.
