Becoming a god starts with enhancing fire arrows.

Two days passed quickly.

It wasn't until the night of the following day that Rhodes and Paril dragged their exhausted bodies back to the inn.

The two men's clothes were dirty and torn, stained with oil and blood.

"I can't go on anymore, I'm going to sleep."

Paril walked numbly to the bed like a walking corpse.

I've been in the wild jungle for the past two days, spending half of that time in battle, dealing with everything from goblin squads to large beasts.

After two days and one night of living outdoors, my own soft bed looked like it was shining with holy light.

Just as she reached the bedside, Paril suddenly felt her clothes being grabbed by the back of her neck.

Rhodes' voice came from beside her: "Go take a shower first. How can you sleep smelling like that?"

"I can sleep, it's the same if I shower tomorrow morning."

Paril struggled groggily for a moment, but seeing that it was to no avail, she simply stood still.

Rhodes was also extremely sleepy, and the thought of hunting Rot Tongues tomorrow gave him a headache.

"Stop dawdling, hurry up!"

"three!"

"two..."

"Oh..." Paris opened her eyes groggily when she heard the countdown and walked towards the bathroom.

"I'm afraid I'll fall asleep, why don't you help me wash?"

?

Rhodes suddenly felt wide awake.

"What are you talking about? How can such a thing be allowed?"

"Why not?" Paril yawned, looking like she was about to fall asleep.

I often bathe with my cat.

"How can that be the same?"

Rhodes didn't know why, but even though his body was exhausted, he kept imagining artistic scenes in his mind.

Art is wonderful, and we should learn art.

Paril didn't respond. After taking two steps, she leaned against Rhodes like a tired ragdoll cat.

Rhodes was startled.

He instinctively put his arm around her.

The girl's delicate face came into view; she had long eyelashes and lips that, though not thick, looked very moist.

He felt her weight in his arms; even through the combat robe, he could feel Paril's petite and soft body.

No, no, no.

Rhodes took a few deep breaths to clear his head.

It feels like there are two little people fighting in my head.

A little person said, "What are you afraid of? You're both 18 years old, what's there to worry about?"

Another little person said, "Besides, what's wrong with nourishing a weary soul in a foreign land?"

A little figure said, "Yes, the girl is all alone and helpless, and she has been following you on your adventures. You two are bound to be together in the future."

Another little person said, "The local customs are open-minded. What's there to be ashamed of in a mutually beneficial, win-win situation?"

Rhodes slapped himself.

Oh shit.

I am a gentleman.

Even if you time travel, you must maintain the integrity of a gentleman.

He carried Paril into the bathroom, then shook her awake and explained:

"You can wash it yourself, I'll go out now."

Paril barely opened her eyes, mumbling, "I can't untie the robe..."

Rhodes took a deep breath.

I stood at the door for a long time.

Forget it.

Being helpful is one of the fine qualities of a gentleman.

......

Silent all night.

The next day.

The four met in front of a truck, where two human corpses lay on the ground.

Harvey bowed politely: "Oh, good morning, you two."

He looked Rhodes up and down and said, "Rhodes doesn't seem to be in very good spirits."

Rhodes chuckled: "When your fists are hard, you can't sleep."

Aside from a little treat for my eyes last night, I gained nothing else.

The three, including Paril, looked confused, not understanding what Rhodes meant.

Rhodes looked down at the corpses: "Both of these are members of 'Black Hand'?"

Harvey nodded: "Yes, we understand."

"These children are from the surrounding villages. They sold the children's families to gnomes and then kidnapped them to be used as experiments by the witch."

"So just kill him directly, you can use your psychic powers."

Paril asked curiously, "Will the witch send the children back after the experiment?"

Harvey glanced at Rhodes but didn't offer any further explanation.

Rhodes subconsciously ruffled Paril's silver hair: "Remember, the hag is never a kind creature."

He had heard rumors about the witch.

There was once a farmer whose family contracted an infectious disease. He went to a witch doctor, hoping that his whole family could be free from the disease.

As a result, the witch used witchcraft to merge the family into a fleshy monster, which she then kept in a potion.

The monster possessed the consciousness of every person, and with the blessing of witchcraft and potions, it lived a very, very long time without illness or disaster.

Ever since hearing this rumor, Rhodes has felt an intense aversion to witches.

He silently chanted a conversation with the dead, and a faint green light shone on his staff.

A member of the "Black Hand" slowly floated up.

Where are you going?

"Go deliver...four...test subjects...to the Rotten Tongue..."

Rhodes glanced at the four children who were being untied and continued to ask:

"Where is the location of the Rotting Tongue Hagra?"

"To the south...behind the hills...deep in the swamp..."

"Besides Hagra, are there any other helpers there?"

"have no idea......"

After the questioning ended, the body slowly fell to the ground.

Harvey stared at the "Black Hand" members on the ground and asked, "Do you have a detailed tactical plan for dealing with Rotting Tongue?"

"Please wait a moment."

Rhodes opened the panel as if deep in thought.

[Next enhancement requires 660/250 Life Essence]

Let's strengthen it first.

Please select a skill enhancement direction.

[Skill Learning - Random Skill (Rare): This time, skip the enhancement and there is a 100% chance to obtain a skill with rare enhancements]

[Skill Learning - Random Skill (Epic): This time, skip the enhancement and there is a 70% chance to obtain a skill with epic enhancement.]

[Skill Learning - Random Skill (Legendary): This time, skip the enhancement and there is a 5% chance to obtain a skill with legendary enhancement.]

what?

This time they won't let me upgrade my Flame Arrow?

Rhodes was somewhat annoyed.

All three of these skills are obtained randomly.

To be fair, this should be a multiple-choice question.

Although I'm a gambler, with the big battle imminent, getting more upgrades naturally increases my chances of winning.

The Witch is cunning and treacherous, and is usually the target of elite adventurers.

There's no reason for me to gamble on a 5% probability.

Let's start with a simple skill with epic enhancement.

open!

Congratulations! You have acquired the skill "Stealth Step [Double Cast]"

[Double Cast: After you have cast a skill, you can cast it again within twenty seconds without consuming any resources.]

[Next enhancement requires 410/300 Life Essence]

Got it!

The life-saving skill I've been thinking about day and night.

【Stealing Steps】

Instantly teleport to any location within ten meters.

Cooldown time: 1 hour

Rhodes was overjoyed.

Unlike Flame Arrow, Shadow Step doesn't have a cooldown period.

But a teleportation of ten meters is enough to escape many dangerous situations.

Avoid being approached by various melee classes.

What's more, there's the epic enhancement of [Double Cast].

That means there are even more unconventional and skillful maneuvers that can be performed.
