Chapter 250: [Night Mother's Gaze]

"Dream ended."

"Returning..."

Whoosh—

The frozen time and space recovered to their original state in an instant.

Accompanied by the humid bloody smell pouring into his nasal cavity, was the sound of the rainstorm echoing in his ears once again.

Xia Nan lay half-reclined on the ground, his body leaning against a tree trunk.

His pitch-black eyes stared straight ahead, gazing into the void.

His expression appeared somewhat dazed.

This was naturally because of the large amount of memory images from the 【Dream Weaving Corridor】 and dream simulation.

From a realistic perspective, time might have only passed for one-thousandth of a second.

But Xia Nan himself seemed to have gone through the complete process of meeting and getting to know the heterochromatic Winter Wolf "Klaff" and the barbarian "Geluomu," until they finally parted ways, in this instant.

Of course, memories like eating and sleeping, including the two years when Klaff disappeared, were as shallow and blurred as recalling a dream after waking up.

But even if it was just the "essence" that remained, hundreds of days of "dry goods" poured into his brain in less than a second, which was enough to make him mentally dazed and lost in thought.

In this whole process, he even forgot his identity and briefly forgot the extremely dangerous situation he was in right now.

And truly became that barbarian master "Geluomu" with excellent talent, following the black wolf "Klaff" to raid and hunt on the wind-swept Split Tooth Highlands, and finally, after a long-laid-out and crisp battle, realized the combat technique named 【Tooth Hunter】.

Xia Nan could clearly recall every single second "he" spent with Klaff.

It lurked and ambushed in the shadows, the way its power flowed and accumulated; when it lunged, the muscle contours squirming under its pitch-black mane; even the rhythm it contained when it paced, as if it contained some wonderful rhyme...

And the final battle in his memory, at the end of the story, under the pouring of the fire of revenge, the fallen centipede monster corpse and the light-landing black wolf figure.

Finding the soul of the combat technique, 【Tooth Hunter】 finally took shape.

From initially just an idea to finally becoming a combat technique, Xia Nan experienced a complete process.

He therefore also experienced everything in it.

Whether it was those whimsical ideas that were finally abandoned because they didn't fit reality, or some clever ideas that should have been integrated into the combat technique but were temporarily placed aside because the difficulty was too high.

Success, failure, maturity, greenness...

His realization about 【Tooth Hunter】 was soaring at an exaggerated speed.

In the past, it required countless practices to gradually turn it into a proficiency improvement visible to the naked eye amidst the fusion of sweat and inspiration.

At this moment, because of this wonderful and strange experience of 【Dream Weaving Corridor】 similar to "sudden enlightenment," it was greatly improved.

"Proficiency +1"

"Proficiency +1"

"Proficiency +1"

"..."

The semi-transparent prompt information that only he could see in his line of sight had not stopped refreshing since he entered the dream.

And at the moment the dream ended, it ushered in a large amount of explosion like screen-refreshing.

"Proficiency +48"

"【Tooth Hunter】 level 4 (100/100) → 【Tooth Hunter】 level 5 (max)"

"【Meteor Blade Hunter】 level 1 → 【Meteor Blade Hunter】 level 2"

"Strength +1, Agility +2"

"Feat 【Night Mother's Gaze】 unlocked"

【Night Mother's Gaze】

Category: Feat

Effect:

When you use 【Tooth Hunter】, the enemy must undergo a Will save (Perception bias);

If the check fails, they fall into a "Fear" state; if the check succeeds, they are briefly immune until the next 【Tooth Hunter】 release.

Introduction:

The ancient memory of the combat technique creator makes your 【Tooth Hunter】 undergo subtle changes.

Remark:

"Klaff, the inauspicious shadow, the tears frozen in the night."

"Hiss!"

Carrying fresh blood, the silver-white venom was forced out from the wound in the center of his chest, falling onto the meadow on the side, making an erosive sound.

The emerald green light filled with life aura between his neck flickered silently.

Granulation tissue squirmed and intertwined, the wound recovered rapidly visible to the naked eye, the blood scab fell off, revealing the smooth skin without the slightest scar underneath.

Abundant power erupted from an unknown place in his body, surging through his whole body like a spring.

Silently, his muscles became tougher, and explosive power far exceeding the past was accumulated and brewed within them;

The world in front of him seemed to have suddenly become slow, allowing him to even see the trajectory of every raindrop falling in his line of sight.

That was the mysterious perspective brought by the attribute point bonus after the combat technique upgrade, with strength as high as "8" and agility as high as "10," which was completely different from before.

Hot blood surged and roared in his blood vessels, and unprecedented majestic power rolled through his whole body.

The injury was completely recovered.

Right now, Xia Nan was in the most peak state since he crossed over to this world.

Lowering her head slightly, that oval-shaped, silvery-white metallic 【Dream Weaving Corridor】 had already vanished.

Replacing it was a silver ring on his right ring finger, separated from his index finger by another ring, with a smooth and clean surface.

After the activation was successful, just like the "master-recognition ceremony" in novels from his previous life, 【Dream Weaving Corridor】 automatically transformed from the slightly clumsy oval sphere that was difficult to carry around into the form of a "ring" accessory and wore itself on his finger.

His five fingers curled slightly, and the two silver rings on his index and ring fingers refracted a faint light under the shroud of the rain.

"Clang!"

Not far in front, was the crisp sound of metal weapons colliding violently.

Pitch-black eyes turned quietly, and the iron-gray longsword was picked up from the mud.

Caw—

A wolf howl erupted slightly, and the rainwater around him stagnated for an instant, then was driven by the airflow to form a wolf head that gradually solidified.

But compared to the hideous roar before, this phantom now appeared more restrained and steady, the wolf mouth was closed tightly, and only a pair of blurred wolf eyes flickered quietly in the crystal clear raindrops, as if all the killing intent and aura had been hidden.

"Hum."

An extremely strange pitch-black like ink rippled out from between the mane where the wolf head was gradually taking shape.

"Clang hiss!"

The heavy longsword with liquid silver-white flowing on the surface collapsed the thin sword that tried to block it in front, leaving a hideous scratch on the surface of the metal armor.

The sturdy leather boots were lifted high, and he exerted force violently.

The refined middle-aged man who was scarred in front was kicked away, and his whole person rolled in the mud twice quite embarrassingly before he struggled to get up while panting.

Cornell looked at Laosen in front, with a triumphant smile of having the situation in his grasp.

Half-elf Haian and his guard Wood had completely lost their combat ability, and that black-haired young man who looked like an adventurer was the first to be pierced by the thorn, and was likely already completely dead under the corrosion of his liquid metal.

And Laosen in front of him, perhaps he wouldn't be his opponent in his prime.

But right now, he was first hit by 【Curse】, his whole body attributes were weakened by 30%, and he had his palm cut off by himself.

His actual combat ability had already been greatly weakened.

Even though the battle had not completely ended yet, and he hadn't obtained the Morton family's treasure.

But Cornell could confidently affirm:

He was the winner of this game, the final winner!

Hum—

The heavy longsword swung violently through the air once again.

Accompanied by the silver-white virtual shadow remaining on the retina, were three water-drop-shaped silver-white iron beads from the sword body. ===== CHAPTER 251 =====
