Chapter 40: The Opportunity for Bloodline Awakening!

Lu Zhangsheng returned to the bottom of the large tree and began to check his own harvest.

With a thought.

A pile of spirit medicines spread out, placed deep in the hole, the fragrance hitting his nose.

Looking at the pile of spirit medicines before him, he felt quite happy in his heart.

If it weren't for the other party being driven to desperation and swallowing more than half, his harvest would likely have been even more astonishing.

"Absorb."

Lu Zhangsheng absorbed all the spirit medicines on the ground.

Open the panel.

Source Energy Points: 106.

The gains rushed toward the one-hundred-point mark again; he felt quite satisfied.

Lu Zhangsheng prepared to make one final push and elevate the pangolin to level twenty to see what kind of mysterious bloodline it could awaken.

"Add points."

He did not hesitate anymore and clicked tentatively.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The Qi and blood in his body surged, his body continued to expand, and the radiance of his scales became increasingly bright, looking very beautiful.

Even his claws were gradually becoming increasingly sharp.

Bound Exotic Beast: Pangolin King.

Level: 16.

Source Energy Points: 86.

Looking at the blue light screen before him, Lu Zhangsheng's heart moved slightly.

This improvement actually required doubling; one addition required twenty points, and it might increase further later.

Not only that.

He found that bursts of numbness came from his body, and the mysterious bloodline was further awakening.

Even his scales, muscles, and bones were strengthened by several more layers.

His current body size could already rival some small lambs, which was very terrifying.

If it transformed again later, it would likely continue to grow.

A moment later, he did not hesitate anymore and added two more levels in a row.

"Hum..."

With a warm current flowing through his whole body, Lu Zhangsheng felt his own strength increase by a lot again.

Bound Exotic Beast: Pangolin King.

Level: 18.

Source Energy Points: 16.

Looking at the gray button behind the level, he fell into deep thought.

Now the addition of points clearly showed an increasing state; to break through to level twenty, it would likely require at least several dozen points.

Not only that.

These last two levels as extremely critical levels were perhaps fifty, sixty? Afterward, Lu Zhangsheng did not think much more and dug toward the depths of the mountain range again.

He couldn't wait to collect spirit medicine.

Not only did the exotic beast bloodline need to awaken, but he also had a large pile of skills waiting to be upgraded, and coupled with the increasingly strange situation now, the Black Mountain Bandits and the Wenxiang Sect would strike later; no one knew what would happen.

And there was also this "top performer" of Yuanyang Lou, Zhao Yuanjing, making him incomparably vigilant.

These factions hidden in the dark, once they erupted completely, the destruction they would cause could not be underestimated.

He had to improve his strength as quickly as possible; he couldn't afford any relaxation.

"I dig, I dig..."

Relying on his increasingly sharp claws, Lu Zhangsheng dug rapidly in the underground space.

The soil before him was like tofu; one pull and it would fall off one after another.

…………

Ten days later.

Northwest corner of the Cangyun Mountain Range.

In an underground space.

Lu Zhangsheng looked at the large amount of silver-white rock ahead and fell into deep thought.

These past few days, he had been searching the whole mountain for traces of spirit objects; he had some harvests, but it was still far from reaching his requirements.

But when he arrived at the bottom of this mountain range, his nose suddenly smelled a trace of something unusual.

A burst of cool feeling came from the air, which was clearly different from spirit medicine.

This made his interest soar.

Perhaps there was something novel inside.

He knew that the Attribute Modifier could not only absorb spirit medicine but also did not refuse other things containing energy.

Lu Zhangsheng put away his thoughts, arrived before the rock, and placed his claw on it.

At this time, information appeared on the panel. 【Moon Pattern Stone, condensed from absorbing moonlight and the essence of the earth's veins; quality is too low to be absorbed...】

Looking at the system light screen before him, his spirit soared.

It was actually energy ore, but there were too many impurities, so it couldn't provide energy.

Judging by the scale of the mountain, this place was clearly in the shape of a small mountain, and there must be purer Moon Pattern Stone inside.

As long as he could dig it out, he would surely harvest a large amount of Source Energy Points.

This place was his opportunity to rise; he must not miss it.

Lu Zhangsheng immediately started to act.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

He waved his two claws, frantically digging at the rock before him; half a cup of tea time later, he dug out a small hole that only allowed him to pass through.

At this time, he suddenly stopped.

These Moon Pattern Stones were too hard; according to his own speed, it would likely be very hard to dig to the depths of the mountain.

Even his claws felt a sense of pain, which had never happened before, making him very surprised.

Stones containing energy were indeed extraordinary.

Although he encountered difficulties, he worked even harder instead.

"Add points."

Lu Zhangsheng did not try to be brave and clicked directly on the Burrowing skill.

With a warm current flowing through his whole body, the sharp claws on his four limbs began to transform violently.

Before long, their appearance changed greatly.

Not only did they become sharper, but the claws also looked much heavier, and cold light flickered on the tips of the claws.

Skills: Burrowing 【Excellent】, Armor Enhancement 【Excellent】, Underwater Breathing 【Excellent】.

Source Energy Points: 6.

This addition of points made his sharp claws more than double in strength, and the skill level also changed from Excellent to Excellent.

The consumption of Source Energy Points was ten points, which he could accept.

The Excellent level skill was clearly much more powerful than the Excellent one.

At this time, he waved his giant claws and slashed fiercely at the rock ahead.

"Bang..."

A small piece of Moon Pattern Stone was directly dug down, with only slight resistance, much better than before.

Lu Zhangsheng did not hesitate anymore, his two claws waving rapidly, and he started to dig again.

After the skill was improved, his speed also increased by more than double.

Time passed.

One day later.

Lu Zhangsheng felt a void before his eyes, and a small tunnel appeared not far ahead, not even allowing his own body size to pass through.

"Could it be that there are other creatures here?"

This guess made him somewhat vigilant; even if his strength was good now, he was still far from being able to walk sideways in the mountain range, so naturally, he had to be careful and cautious.

Lu Zhangsheng dug open the hole entrance and dug slowly forward.

Before long, a bright silver stone block ahead caught his attention.

The stone block was only the size of a palm, emitting a faint radiance.

This discovery made his spirit soar.

He hurriedly dug rapidly to the stone block and placed his claw on it.

At this time, an entry appeared on the panel.

【Low-grade Moon Pattern Stone】

Note: Contains a portion of moonlight power, can slightly improve Qi, blood, and strength within the body.

"Is there a chance?"

Lu Zhangsheng's face lit up with joy; he immediately waved his claws and dug this Moon Pattern Stone down, leaving a small pit in front.

"Unknown energy source detected, do you wish to absorb it?"

A crisp system prompt sounded.

"Absorb."

Lu Zhangsheng nodded immediately.

【Source Energy Points +1】.

He saw information coming from the system, and his own Source Energy Points also increased by one point.

Although it was only a tiny point, it also made him extremely excited.

This small mountain didn't just have this one piece; as long as he could dig them all out, the harvest would definitely not be small.

Not only that, this was only low-grade Moon Pattern Stone; if there were higher-grade ones inside, wouldn't he have made a fortune?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhangsheng worked even harder to dig; he began to bury his head and work hard, digging crazily toward the interior of the mountain.
