26: Upgrade continuously! The more monsters you kill, the more you get!

Su Lie also used Enhance on the voucher rewarded for the mission.

Unfortunately, it could not be enhanced either.

Just at this moment.

The phantom image of the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace, formed by Su Lie's Random Treasure Refining Skill, gradually turned into streaks of light.

In the blink of an eye, an orb containing the Wolf Soul hovered in mid-air.

Seeing this, Su Lie grabbed the orb.

He subconsciously stared at the orb, wanting to see its description.

This time, he saw nothing.

"Damn! I almost forgot this is the wilderness! It seems that in the wilderness, only certain special Treasure Chests will automatically display their panels!"

Su Lie put the orb away, then held the machete in his left hand and the hammer carrying the Night light in his right, heading toward the outside of the cave.

He had only taken a few steps.

A notification regarding the mist rule appeared in his field of vision.

[Hum!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Su Lie for taking precautions and successfully killing the future BOSS, the Heaven-Swallowing Wolf King! Elite BOSS first kill completed!]

[Rewards: EXP: 500 points; Mist Points: 1000 points; one Pet Evolution Core!]

Plop!

Su Lie stopped abruptly.

In the blink of an eye, two golden lights bloomed from his body.

Within the light.

His personal panel appeared automatically.

[Name: Su Lie]

[Age: 18]

[Lifespan: 126]

[Bloodline: Human Emperor]

[Class: Mist Refiner (Conceptual)]

[Level: Level 5 (163 / 400)]

[life: 2100; Spirit: 1400; stamina: 600; Speed: 800;]

[Charisma: 510; luck: 523; Majesty: 510]

[Skill: Permanent Treasure Refining (Class), Random Treasure Refining (Class), Limb Regeneration (Monster), Illusionary Haze (Monster), Monster Prompt (Monster, Passive)]

[Talent: Enhance (Red), Conceptual Refinement (Red), Pollution Immunity (Red), Severe Toxin Immunity (Red)]

[Shelter: Level 2]

[Free Attribute Points: 1000]

[Mist Points: 2087]

"Hiss! Leveled up two levels directly? This reward... is too surprising! Taking precautions... future BOSS?"

Su Lie stared with wide eyes, feeling secretly fortunate in his heart.

If he hadn't helped the Wolf Soul!

The other party probably would have escaped the magic circle anyway.

And then, once the Wolf Soul broke free.

It would definitely have used his information to trade with other Survivors.

In that case.

The trouble would be huge!

"It seems! In the future, when executing Mist missions, I must be more vigilant! Hide Talents and Skills whenever possible! To avoid being countered!"

Su Lie thought silently.

This unexpected upgrade.

Caused his various attributes to gain an average of 200 attribute points each.

Lifespan increased by a total of 2 years.

Skills and Talents remained unchanged.

Free attribute points became 1000 points.

Mist Points skyrocketed to 2087 points.

This was exactly the same as the gains from previous upgrades.

This is truly satisfying!

He glanced at the walnut-sized Pet Evolution Core that had just materialized in his hand, his eyelids twitching: "Damn it! Is the dream about to come true?"

A smile curled on Su Lie's lips: "Well! It can alleviate my loneliness!"

He put the Pet Evolution Core into his trouser pocket.

Then he continued walking toward the outside of the mine.

When he walked out.

The sky was already dark, but there was no Mist.

Many Mist Monsters were wandering in the jungle.

Most of them were Dried Corpses.

[Dried Corpse, level 0 Mist Monster]

[life: 200; Spirit: 100]

Su Lie walked straight up, swung his machete, and chopped the Dried Corpse in half.

A monster crystal emitting a gray luster appeared on the ground.

Su Lie's eyes turned, and he used the Permanent Treasure Refining Skill on the Dried Corpse, wanting to refine more Little Skeletons.

Clatter!

Before long, a Little Skeleton was successfully refined.

After Su Lie used Enhance on the Little Skeleton, he named it No. 8.

At this time.

More Dried Corpses gathered around.

Su Lie kept killing the Dried Corpses and refining their bodies into Little Skeletons one after another.

Before long.

He had already refined 10 Little Skeletons.

As he led the Little Skeletons grandly toward the Shelter.

A chilly wind blew through the dark jungle.

Intense beast roars rang out continuously.

In the darkness, one after another, three-meter-tall Aberrant Hounds walked out.

Through the Monster Prompt Skill, Su Lie saw their information.

[Aberrant Hound, level 5 Mist Monster]

[life: 10000; Spirit: 10000;]

The moment the hounds appeared, they rushed straight toward the Little Skeletons.

Just as Su Lie was about to step forward to fight.

A voice came from behind him.

"Su Lie! Why the hell are you still here? Hurry up! Run! There are more powerful monsters running over from behind!"

A familiar and soft cry rang out.

Su Lie's footsteps sank, and he turned to look.

A white light appeared in the darkness.

Enveloped by the white light was a long-haired girl wearing the same school uniform as Su Lie, which was covered in numerous stains and holes.

The girl's face was slightly pale, and there were some wooden scales on the backs of her hands caused by pollution; she held a wooden stick in her left hand.

The look in the girl's eyes as she gazed at Su Lie carried a touch of urgency, a touch of intimacy, and a touch of resentment.

Seeing this, Su Lie's heart trembled.

This girl was none other than his high school crush.

The class beauty, Qiao Yue.

Although he knew subconsciously that this was not her.

He still couldn't help but look at her carefully.

Furthermore.

This "Qiao Yue" did not trigger any prompt information for Su Lie through his passive Skill, Monster Prompt.

"Long time no see! Yue!"

Su Lie said in a low voice.

What he didn't notice was.

The batch of Little Skeletons he had refined through his Skill had already been torn to shreds by the Aberrant Hounds.

Only No. 8 was left of the Little Skeletons still resisting.

No. 8 was retreating while launching the Skill Soul Fire Bullet at the Aberrant Hounds.

The Soul Fire Bullet caused massive damage to the Aberrant Hounds, preventing them from attacking Su Lie and forcing them to chase and attack No. 8 instead.

No. 8, relying on its small and agile body, kept playing guerrilla warfare with the hounds.

Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!

Qiao Yue turned her head to look at the darkness behind her, and she hurriedly walked toward Su Lie: "Su Lie! Hurry up! Let's go hide in your Shelter! I was sent here by the Mist, and I have already lost my Shelter..."

Just as Qiao Yue's hand was about to touch Su Lie's hand.

Pfft!

Su Lie suddenly swung his machete.

The special effect "One Strike Sever" was activated instantly!

Clang!

"Qiao Yue," with an expression of disbelief, split into two halves.

Bang!

After falling to the ground.

It turned into two broken wooden man pieces.

After the wooden man hit the ground, it was pulled underground by a monster beneath the surface.

Only one level 0 monster crystal was "spat" out.

The warmth in Su Lie's mind finally disappeared.

He heard the roaring sounds coming from behind him.

"Crap!"

Su Lie cursed to himself, and when he turned around, his heart was instantly filled with rage: "Damn it! You're courting death!"

He charged toward the Aberrant Hounds like a madman.

After a flurry of his hacking.

The Aberrant Hounds were killed.

He gained 1 monster crystal again.

Afterward.

Su Lie fought while walking.

By the time he arrived at the entrance of the Shelter, it was already over an hour later.

At this time.

The Mist Monsters appearing around him had changed from the initial level 0 Dried Corpses to level 10 Three-Headed Monkey Monsters.

These monkey monsters were not only fast but also extremely agile, knowing how to use throwing Skills for long-range attacks.

Su Lie also felt an aura that made his hair stand on end.

Seeing this.

He didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly took the No. 8 skeleton, unlocked the door, and entered the Shelter.

Bang!

The moment the heavy iron door closed.

Su Lie's Crisis Perception instantly disappeared, and a warmth radiated from within the Shelter, making him breathe a long sigh of relief: "That was close!"
