I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 357 New Skill: Space
Ma Zhou rubbed his hands after hearing this, his face full of desire, and then said with regret: "I would like to seek refuge with the prince and seek wealth and honor for the rest of my life, but unfortunately the general temple has issued an imperial decree to me, and I will leave for Qingcheng Mountain soon. How about I wait until I finish my business and then seek refuge with the prince?"

King Pingbian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Great! I welcome you here anytime, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

He had witnessed Ma Zhou's strength with his own eyes, and he was indeed very interested in Ma Zhou's methods.

While the two were talking, Mr. Wuliu interrupted and reminded:

"My Lord, you can start now!"

What Mr. Wuliu meant by taking action was to collect the snake skin.

When King Pingbian heard this, he looked and saw that the snake skin had collapsed into the ground.

"Do it!"

Before Mr. Wuliu finished his words, the sergeant from the Inspection Office next to him, under the command of Xie Lingyun, had already taken the lead in attacking Shepi.

When King Pingbian saw this, he immediately shouted, "Xie Lingyun, are you planning a rebellion? The snake skin landed in the north and has been reserved by me. How dare you take something from my palace?"

As King Pingbian was speaking, he quickly waved his hand and asked his men to fight for the snake skin. However, when they grabbed the snake skin, they found that it had already decayed and turned into gray, with only pieces of snake scales as big as millstones falling casually on the ground.

If the snake skin was a whole piece, there would be no way for the Pingbian Palace to take it away. But at this time, the snake scales fell off the snake skin. There were so many snake scales, whoever picked them up could own them. So everyone got excited and rushed towards the snake scales.

Instantly, the field was in chaos. People from various aristocratic families and people from the underworld picked up the snake scales and ran away, fearing that they would be punished by the Pingbian Palace. Li Donglai and his two companions were also mixed in the crowd, each carrying a few snake scales, and followed the underworld people away.

Faced with the looting by the crowd, King Pingbian was helpless and could not give orders to stop them. He had big plans in the future and needed to recruit talents from all sides. He did not want to be too stingy at this time, lest he ruin his reputation.

Although the body of the python has shrunk, it still has hundreds of thousands of scales, but the size of the scales has shrunk a lot, from the size of a millstone to the size of a washbasin.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of people were scrambling to loot, and in just one hour, all the snake scales had been looted away. Then the lively people from all walks of life dispersed one after another, and the armies of the Inspection Office and the Pingbian Palace also retreated.

Zhang Chen watched as the silence returned to the field. He then turned into a wisp of mist, drifting through the valley and landing at the place where the Basashi's body fell. Sure enough, he saw a white ball on the ground where the Basashi's body was dismembered.

"White? Is it experience points or skills? I have never seen white experience points before." Zhang Chen was surprised at this time. He looked at the white ball with a pair of eyes. With a look of surprise on his face, he walked forward and picked up the ball on the ground.

[Skill fragments found, would you like to pick them up? ]

The golden finger popped up the page at the right time.

"White skills? It's really rare." Zhang Chen took a look at the gold finger page and ordered: "Pick it up!"

Following Zhang Chen's order, the skill points on the ground turned into streams of light and were collected by Zhang Chen's cheating board. The next moment, a new skill appeared on Zhang Chen's cheating board:
[Skill (Unqualified): Mysterious Space (0\10000)]

【Area: one cubic meter】

[Note 1: Can only devour ungraded mysteries]

[Introduction: This space can store any mysterious things except living things, and then decompose and absorb the mysterious things, turning them into energy for cultivation or tempering the body. Or after system transformation, it can be turned into points. This space comes from the fragments of the fallen origin of the Bashen. Please continue to explore for more skills. ]

Zhang Chen was stunned when he saw this scene: "Interesting!"

You have to know that the Gold Finger page introduces any mysterious things.

"Not bad! This skill is great!" Zhang Chen praised: "It would be great if it could be turned into a storage space, so that we can put anything we want in it."

Although this space is good, it cannot be used as a storage space, because all mysteries that fall into it will be decomposed by the power of space.

Zhang Chen looked at his own points. After five days of absorbing, Zhang Chen had collected 40 million points.

Zhang Chen's first glance fell on the invisibility talisman, but unfortunately, in order to upgrade the invisibility talisman to the point where a ninth-level Yangshen Zhenren could not see through it, at least 160 million points were needed. Zhang Chen's 40 million points were just a drop in the bucket.

Taking into account the previous balance, Zhang Chen now only had 41.6 million points.

He scanned all the skills. There were not many options for upgrading with these 1 million points. [Skill 0 (Level 20000000): Golden Light of the God (/)] was not needed for the time being. Its power was enough for Zhang Chen at this moment.

[Skill 2 (Level 0): Dragon Energy (2000000/)] The points required were not many, but Zhang Chen had no intention of upgrading it because he felt that he had not yet noticed its use.

Not to mention the third skill, blood control, Zhang Chen simply can't afford to upgrade it.

[Skill 4 (Level 0): Water Control + Weak Water (5000000/)] You can consider upgrading it. The rest are the Immobilization Talisman and the Suppression Talisman. The other skills consume too many points and are not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth.

Zhang Chen didn't want to keep the points. Points would be good points only if they were spent and would be useful.

[9th skill (Level 2000000): Town character ()]

[13th skill (unqualified): Devouring space (0\10000)]

With 41.6 million points at the moment, only these three skills are worth upgrading.

Zhang Chen pondered in his mind, and after a moment he decided to upgrade the devouring space first. After all, it was not yet at the grade, and the level was too weak.

Moreover, if no new source of points can be found in the future, we can only seize the mysteries of each family. At that time, this devouring space will be of great use.

Zhang Chen directly clicked the points:
[13th skill (first level): Devouring space (0\100000)]

[Note 1: Area is ten cubic meters]

[Note 2: Can devour the first-level mystery]

The introduction was simple, but Zhang Chen had already figured out a few clues: "It only increased by ten cubic meters, and the upper limit of the level of the swallowed items was increased a bit."

Zhang Chen looked at the points on the Gold Finger screen again. It required a full 100,000 points, showing a tenfold exponential growth, so he clicked again without hesitation:
[13th skill (second level): Devouring space (0\1000000)]

【Note 1: Area is one hundred cubic meters】

[Note 2: Can devour the second-level mystery] At this time, the accumulated points requirement reached one million. Zhang Chen continued to click without hesitation, and then saw that the devouring skill was upgraded again:
[13th Skill (Level 0): Swallow Space (10000000\)]

[Note 1: Area of ​​one thousand cubic meters]

[Note 2: Can devour the third-level mystery]

Zhang Chen paused at this moment, and then looked at the points needed to upgrade the skill suffix. It turned out to be 10 million. After a little thought, Zhang Chen clicked it without hesitation.

[Skill 13 (Level 0): Swallow Space (100000000\)]

[Note 1: Area cubic meters]

[Note 2: Can devour the fourth-order mystery]

"One hundred million!" Zhang Chen was secretly shocked in his heart, but he did not feel regretful, because he had already thought of the use of the devouring space, which was to match it with the five-colored divine light.

The five-colored divine light swept the mystery in, directly absorbed it into the space, devoured it, and decomposed it, turning it into Zhang Chen's power.

As for the Ding character and Zhen character, Zhang Chen took a look at the two runes and suddenly felt that there was no need to upgrade the Zhen character, because no matter how mysterious it was, it would be difficult to escape the fate of being swallowed up if it fell into his hands.

However, the devouring space also has its limitations, that is, it cannot devour living beings. Otherwise, Zhang Chen would take off directly, and all the human bloodline families would be his food.

However, Zhang Chen still had 34.9 million points left at this time, and he didn't want to keep any more, so after a little thought, he chose to add it to his skills.

[Skill 1 (Level 0): Golden Light of the True God (20000000/)]

[Skill 2 (Level 0): Dragon Energy (2000000/)]

[9th skill (Level 2000000): Town character ()]

At present, the only three skills worth upgrading were left. Zhang Chen looked at the Golden Light of the Righteous God. At this time, the Golden Light of the Righteous God had already made the tenth-level evil spirit retreat, and the Golden Light of the Righteous God only targeted evil spirits, so it did not increase his combat power much. Moreover, he only had more than 30 million points at this time. Once he added points, more than half of them would be gone. It was a bit too uneconomical.

So Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the dragon energy and the word "zhen" (meaning "suppressing"), and after a little contemplation, Zhang Chen still chose to point to the dragon energy. As for why?

Because the points required for dragon energy are too few, only two million.

[Skill 2 (Level 0): Dragon Energy (20000000/)]

[Note 1: Beast Taming Skill, can be activated six times a day, each time for one hour. Can control fourth-level beast monsters ( meters in radius).]

[Note 2: The natal enlightenment. Granting luck to ordinary beasts, helping them to quickly transform into demon beasts]

Zhang Chen glanced at the new layout. There were not many changes after the upgrade. The number of times the skills can be activated did not change, the time that can be controlled each time did not change, and even the area of ​​control did not change. The only new skill was the granting of luck.

Any beast in the world that wants to become a monster needs to obtain the mysterious destiny between heaven and earth. At this time, Zhang Chen actually has the ability to grant destiny.

"In this way, my Bumblebee and Falcon can be transformed into demon beasts in one step?" Zhang Chen said thoughtfully, "But there is still a fatal flaw. If the demon beasts betray us, we will be raising a tiger to cause trouble."

Zhang Chen seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes fell on the gold finger page. After a brief pause, he looked at his own gold finger page again. At this time, he only had 28.49 million points left, which was enough to upgrade his skills once more.

"I just hope that after the upgrade, I can make up for this flaw, otherwise I really don't dare to use it with confidence. After all, humans and monsters are two different animals, and monsters are the most treacherous and insidious..." Zhang Chen said to himself: "Okay, I originally wanted to upgrade the Zhen character, but now I will upgrade directly to the dragon energy."

As Zhang Chen thought about it, 20 million points evaporated directly, and the Gold Finger screen changed again:
[Skill 2 (Level 0): Dragon Energy (200000000/)]

[Note 1: Beast Taming Skill, can be activated six times a day, each time for one hour. Can control fourth-level beast monsters ( meters in radius).]

[Note 2: The natal enlightenment. Granting luck to ordinary beasts, helping them to quickly transform into demon beasts]

[Note 3: Fate Mark (five pieces). The number of Fate Marks increases as the level increases. Once a monster has a Fate Mark planted in its soul, its life or death can be controlled by you.]

Looking at his natal mark, Zhang Chen shook his head. He felt that this skill was useful, but also useless.

The imprint of the natal mark is conditional, and the other party must be willing.

Want the other party to willingly accept his mark? Unless Zhang Chen defeats the other party!

There is no point in capturing the monsters that can be subdued by Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen cannot defeat the monsters that he wants to capture.

At this time, Zhang Chen had 8.49 million points left.

Looking at the rest of the skills, it was not worth it for Zhang Chen to continue upgrading. Zhang Chen thought that he should always keep some new skills for after upgrading, so that if he acquired new skills in the future, he could also quickly upgrade them.

At this time, the sky was shining, and Zhang Chen had a great harvest. Looking at the bare ground, all the scales and bones of the python had been looted.

"Let's go back for now. When something mysterious happens, I'll go and join in the fun." Zhang Chen made up his mind. He turned into mist and disappeared in the morning light. He quietly returned to Huangli Temple and saw the little boy meditating in the house with a solemn expression.

You know what, the little kid sitting there meditating really looks like it's real.

Zhang Chen glanced at the little kid, turned into a drop of water, and quietly lurked underground. He came to the secret room and saw that the pool of faith was still dry as before, without any power of faith gathering.

"It seems that Huang Tiandao has squandered all his faith power." Zhang Chen looked around thoughtfully, then quietly returned to the ground. When he appeared in the house, he heard a boy knocking on the door: "Senior Brother Zhang Chen, are you there? There is a letter for you."

Zhang Chen opened the door and thanked the boy, then walked back into the house and opened the letter. There were only three simple words on the letter: "Done!" and then a single word "Preface" was left at the end.

Zhang Chen looked at the strange letter in his hand. If it was seen by outsiders, it would definitely make no sense. However, after reading it, Zhang Chen immediately thought of Chen Xu and the plan of both parties to pacify the ancestral tomb of King Pingbian.

"Could it be that Chen Xu found the lair of King Pingbian, so the matter was settled?"

Zhang Chen had some guesses in his mind and his eyes were full of excitement. This was definitely good news for him.

He has been plotting against King Pingbian's ancestral tomb for a long time, and his feud with King Pingbian has been endless. Is there any better way to vent one's hatred than digging up the other's ancestral tomb?
Moreover, the ancestral tomb of King Pingbian must be extraordinary. There are various burial objects that can make him rich. He also has the opportunity to tamper with the feng shui of King Pingbian's ancestral tomb to accelerate its decline and complete his own plan.
