Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 351 Groundhog (Purple)
"Ah-"

The ground rat screamed in agony, but it was not yet completely dead.

It was, after all, a powerful demon, brimming with vitality; even with its head crushed, it remained lively and energetic.

Moreover, its ferocity was aroused.

Becoming a great demon is already extremely difficult; how many are easy?

At the critical moment of life and death, the Earth Rat unleashed its full power. Golden light burst forth from its shattered rat eyes and shot towards the Demon Ape.

Supernatural powers, short-sighted.

This supernatural power comes at a great cost, has a long wind-up, and a relatively small range, less than a hundred feet. Its only advantage is its terrifying penetrating power.

Sharp, unpredictable, and a deadly weapon; if used properly, it can turn the tide of battle.

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Sheng chose it as the tenth incarnation.

In addition, the ability to travel underground, summon swarms of rats, and possess excellent survival skills were also major reasons for Liu Sheng's consideration.

It's like having a built-in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows you to escape into the ground in times of crisis). Unless you encounter a naturally divine being like the Long-Armed Demon Ape, which is a natural counter to this ability, you can save your life.

You can only contribute if you're alive; that's the key.

In an instant, sparks flew, making a clanging sound.

Having suffered a loss before, the demonic ape was not to be careless. With a wave of its arms, a palm the size of several acres blocked the two golden beams of light that shot towards it, just like a city wall.

Two white spots, resembling water blisters, appeared on his palm, but they quickly disappeared, returning to their original state.

With a sudden swing of his other two arms, a loud "boom" resounded, like two mountains colliding...

The groundhog was smashed into mincemeat on the spot, but it was not completely dead yet, still clinging to life.

"I need to take it back to the main body to kill it before I can refine its essence..."

The demonic ape muttered something, glanced around at the devastation, shook its head, and leaped back to Deer Head Valley.

Having found the cave, he tossed the Rat King's mangled remains in front of him, glancing sideways at the muttering Black Wind Bear beside him:

"Not convinced? Let's have a go?"

"Don't take advantage of your divine birth and high rank to bully me! Let me tell you..."

Black Wind Bear stood up with his hands on his hips, black wind swirling beneath his feet, exuding a menacing aura:

"I! Am! Convinced!"

After saying that, he curled up in a corner, hugged his head, and looked cowardly.

"Ah!"

……

Liu Sheng ignored the amusing exchange between his two avatars, his eyes blazing with a fierce light that enveloped the pool of blood and gore at his feet. His inner sword spirit swirled, emitting a trembling sound—

"choke!"

Talent, the heart of a sword!
A level 6 Blade Heart condenses a Blade Soul within the body, protecting oneself internally and slaying evil spirits externally, making one invincible.

He is most skilled at killing gods and severing their will.

Although the earth rat's flesh and blood were torn to shreds, its soul remained intact, so it did not die.

But after being struck, his soul was severed, and his life force was completely cut off.

died!

A purple light rose up and floated on the surface of the rat carcass, its brilliance dazzling.

Soul!

[Detected 1 Earthshaker Spirit. Refine it to obtain the "Earthshaker" Avatar?]

On the panel, a line of ink-wash light and shadow quietly appeared, flickering uncertainly, awaiting Liu Sheng's decision.

"Groundhog..."

Liu Sheng took a deep breath, and with a thought, the essence of the rat corpse transformed into a stream of purple light and flowed into his body.

In an instant, a strong aura of the Gen Earth surged into his body, transforming into a torrent of heat that strengthened and transformed his flesh, bones, internal organs, and even his soul.

Both the white elephant and the black wind bear are of the earth element. His body had long been transformed by the essence of the Gen earth. This time it was just an enhancement, not as drastic as before.

Therefore, the process was very quick; in less than fifteen minutes, all the abnormalities receded like the tide.

"Phew!" Liu Sheng came to his senses, rubbed his eyes, and felt an unbearable itching and excruciating pain, as if he were going to go blind.

There seemed to be something indescribable in his eyes, something that could burst forth with a single thought.

In addition, significant changes have occurred in the stomach, the five senses, and the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet.

He needs to put it into practice to master it better.

Fortunately, everything quickly returned to normal, and the discomfort subsided.

As light and shadow fell before my eyes, several lines of ink-wash text appeared on the panel—

[Successfully refined the essence of the Earth-Penetrating Rat, obtaining the "Earth-Penetrating Rat" avatar.]

[You have been blessed with the following talents from the Earth Rat: "Rat King," "Survival," "Hidden Grain," "Earth Spirit," and "Short-sightedness."]

"The third great demon-level avatar, also the tenth avatar, once mastered, can be refined into the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique to enhance cultivation..."

Liu Sheng's gaze shifted, feeling that his strength had increased dramatically after gaining five new level 5 talents.

Click to view the introduction immediately —

[Through the Gopher (Purple)]

Inhabiting the earth's veins, born an earth spirit, it commands all rats, cunning and suspicious by nature, and has awakened the bloodline of the Void Sun Rat. It is a hundred feet tall, covered in golden fur, with sharp claws and teeth, agile and adept at escaping, with eyes that can see through even the smallest things and break through barriers.

……

"The bloodline of the Sun Rat..."

Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had indeed been taking a gamble when he chose to transform into the Groundhog.

Surprisingly, I got a pretty good SR card from this blind box.

The Void Sun Rat is one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, also known as the Void Mansion Star Lord, and is associated with good fortune and wealth.

Since this Earth Rat has the bloodline of the Sun Rat, if we continue to deduce its abilities, it might be able to acquire a talent for attracting wealth.

At that time, you'll find spirit stones when you go out, seize opportunities while eating melons, receive great blessings from heaven, and turn misfortune into good fortune...

"Don't overthink it!"

He licked his lips, stopped his daydreaming, and focused his gaze on the five newly added talents—

[Rat King (Talent) lv5]: Golden fur rides the wind and waves, a silver crown gathers ten thousand rats. The one who possesses this talent can command rat-like monsters and make them obey his will.

[Survival Talent (LV5)]: Sensing danger, one flees with swift and cunning. Those who possess this talent have an acute sense of danger and their escape speed increases dramatically.

【Storing Food (Talent) lv5】: Accumulates food to sustain life, enduring hunger. Those who possess this talent can consume several months' worth of food at once, storing up vitality and going without food for several months.

【Earth Spirit (Talent) lv5】: Born with the Earth Spirit, unimpeded by mud and rocks. Those who possess this talent have Earth Qi in their true Qi, which can instantly sink into the earth's veins, moving swiftly through the soil like the wind, and recovering from injuries and status within the earth.

【Inch of Light (Talent) lv5】: Eyes that pierce through metal and break through solids. Those who possess this talent can consume their Qi, True Qi, and Mana to unleash golden light that pierces through metal and stone, breaking seals and restrictions.

……

The five newly added talents have all reached level 5, and their effects are very strong.

The talent "Rat King" not only grants the basic "rat form" effect, but also the ability to command a horde of rats.

With this talent, whenever he went to a new place, the local rats became his eyes and ears, making it extremely convenient for him to listen in, gather information, and find people and things.

The talent "Survival" is self-explanatory; it refers to the ability to increase speed during a final escape, making it very useful.

The innate ability to "store food" is equivalent to storing food in the body as a "life source," allowing one to consume enough food for several months at once and then not have to worry about food and drink for several months...

This talent is very useful in some harsh environments.

The talent "Earth Spirit" is not surprising and meets expectations. It overlaps somewhat with the talent "Standing on the Ground" but is also different. It is worth trying to fuse them.

If one could acquire a new talent, combining the advantages of both, and then share it with the White Elephant avatar...

Wait, a rat and an elephant?

It's quite comical.

His innate talent, "Inch of Light," was not only incredibly sharp, capable of piercing through golden cave stones and unpredictable in its power, but it could even break through restrictions and seals, which gave him a huge surprise.

He needs this kind of approach right now.
