Speaking of which, this is the first time talent has appeared on the panel.

Lin Sheng is quite interested in this attribute.

After all, this is something Mortal Beast has never experienced before.

Earth Affinity, it sounds like it has an important relationship with the earth.

It's just this specific effect...

Lin Sheng Close your eyes and feel it carefully.

At this moment, he could feel that the surrounding earth seemed to have more connections with him. Although it was extremely subtle, if he didn't feel it carefully, he would even ignore it.

But now it really exists, as if there is some kind of power in the ground that is very slowly trying to flow into his body.

This feeling is quite amazing.

As this power poured into his body, he felt energetic.

"Earth Affinity has this talent. It seems that as long as you stand on the ground, you can get a certain increase effect. As for the direction of the increase..."

Lin Sheng recalled the introduction about Silver-patterned Black Crocodile on Hundred Beasts Scroll and the description of Mountain Sea Scroll in his mind.

This Spirit Beast mainly has hard skin and thick flesh, extremely tenacious vitality, and excellent endurance. It can also burrow into the ground, and its speed underground is much faster than on the ground.

Maybe Earth Affinity is related to this.

The effect brought by Earth Affinity should be the most obvious in terms of physical fitness.

Originally, Silver-patterned Black Crocodile and Constitution Boost had already reached 4 points, which was the highest increase among all the factors.

After activating Earth Affinity, the original amplification effect is strengthened again.

Lin Sheng thought to himself, and he took the initiative to let go of his body and began to crazily absorb the heavy power from the ground. Immediately, he felt the slowly flowing inexplicable power pouring into his body like a tide.

I saw that his originally tall figure immediately swelled.

The height of more than 1.8 meters rose to more than 1.9 meters and nearly two meters in a breath.

The generous physique is even more obviously generous.

The whole person is like a thick city wall.

The exposed skin has faint lines, like dry and cracked earth.

Lin Sheng felt an indescribable bulge and thickness in his body, but it was full of explosive power, giving him an indescribable sense of peace of mind.

"Is this the real Earth Affinity? Take Earth Power for your own use."

He murmured in his mouth, but it was difficult to have an attack around the yard.

He could only suppress the urge to hit the ground with his fists to express the restless thoughts in his heart.

He stretched out his rough and wide palm, pinched his other arm, and squeezed it hard. The powerful force exploded completely. At this time, he felt like he could crush even hundreds of refined steel in his hand.

However, unexpectedly, there was only a violent friction noise, but there was no pain in the held arm, and the arm was only slightly red when the hand was released.

Obviously, although the most obvious feeling is the increase in strength, the real improvement is the physical fitness, especially the toughness of the body and skin.

"The strength has been increased by 30 to 40% based on the Silver-patterned Black Crocodile entering the body. The increase in physical fitness is estimated to be even greater by nearly 50%, but the specific method will require multiple experiments."

Looking at his strong body that seemed to be wearing a layer of armor, Lin Sheng said to himself.

After he let go of his own limitations and actively absorbed Earth Power, he felt the thick and violent power from the ground more clearly.

However, in the state of obtaining a powerful increase, he also clearly felt the violent Earth Power rampaging through his body.

The force of the impact was extremely strong, and even with his current physique, he still felt a little strenuous.

Obviously Earth Power is not that easy to use. He cannot activate the earth Affinity Talent for a long time.

Soon after more than ten breaths passed, Lin Sheng felt that Earth Power in his body was becoming more and more violent, and was about to reach his upper limit, so he immediately cut off contact decisively.

The figure that originally looked like a city wall has returned to the shape it had after entering Silver-patterned Black Crocodile, visible to the naked eye.

"Fifteen breaths. There won't be any problems within fifteen breaths. It can't exceed twenty breaths at most, otherwise it will damage itself." Lin Sheng estimated the time and determined how long Earth Affinity could last in this state.

15 interest times may not seem like a long time, but it is enough to be used as a trump card.

"When you turn on the Earth Affinity state, you should be no worse than the ordinary explosive skills, or even better, especially in terms of muscle toughness."

In addition to these, he also has a sense.

Lin Sheng squatted down and touched the ground with his palms, and could faintly feel a special slight rhythm.

With this strength, he could clearly feel the trembling sensation coming from the flow of people coming and going on the street outside the courtyard when they came into contact with the ground.

Although this ability does not seem to have any substantial effect at present, this alone allows him to better detect the actions of living creatures within a certain range. Whether it is a person or Strange Beast, as long as it is in contact with the ground, he can't escape his feelings.

"The range of the rhythm I can feel is about five miles in radius."

Lin Sheng closed his eyes and felt the countless rhythmic feedback coming from the ground, and he already had a general understanding of the feedback range.

I have to admit that the effects brought by talents are indeed more mysterious than simple attribute increases.

And this is only the weak level Earth Affinity. Although he doesn't know the classification of talent levels, the word weak obviously belongs to the lowest level.

"The Silver-patterned Black Crocodile that I put into my body was only an infant. If it were an adult Silver-patterned Black Crocodile that entered my body, leaving aside the amplification attribute, I think the talent would not be just weak."

He thought so in his mind.

Once again I felt the power of Spirit Beast.

He has a strong physique, strength, and this mysterious talent blessing.

It's no wonder that as long as it is Spirit Beast, even the low-level Spirit Beast, the materials on it are extremely expensive.

It is too difficult to hunt down Spirit Beast.

As far as he knew, Town Mountain Tower had occupied the management rights of Yangping Mountain for so many years, and not many Spirit Beast had been hunted.

Basically, you can only gain something during the beast tide, and most of the ones you hunt are the lowest level Spirit Beast like Red-bellied Spirit Snake.

Spirit Beast like Silver-patterned Black Crocodile can only be achieved only two or three times, and they can only succeed after paying heavy casualties.

"Spirit Beast, I wonder if Spirit Beast Blood can be collected through Dark Star's channel."

Lin Sheng This thought suddenly came to mind.

With the strong strength shown by Dark Star organization, this should not be a problem, but the premise is that you can afford a matching price.

But now he obviously does not have this bargaining chip.

On the other hand, after selling the materials of the Silver-patterned Black Crocodile cub, you will get a large sum of money. With this money, it is possible to buy the lowest level Spirit Beast Blood, but the quantity may not meet his needs for entering the body.

"Well, it's too early to think about this now. The top priority is to activate the second mark first."

In fact, he valued martial arts practice more than the amplifying effect brought by entering Strange Beast into his body. Although the effect brought by high-level Strange Beast was extremely powerful, it was not inferior to martial arts skills.

Just like after Iron Yak enters the body, it will have a considerable advantage against ordinary Body Tempering warriors.

But compared to entering the body Strange Beast, he still believes that martial arts skills are the foundation, and it is easy to say that there are no requirements for entering the body Mortal Beast.

But that was not the case when he entered Spirit Beast. When he first entered Silver-patterned Black Crocodile, there was a need to enter the body. If this need was not met, he would obviously not be able to successfully enter the body.

It is not difficult to imagine that Strange Beast of the Spirit Beast level should all have the need to be inserted into the body, and the need for the more powerful Strange Beast to be inserted into the body will definitely become higher and higher.

Therefore, the progress of martial arts cannot be neglected in the slightest.

The sun was setting in the west, and it was already dusk.

After taking a look at the sky, Lin Sheng's body shrank and returned to its original normal posture between breaths.

At this time, the one he chose to enter his body was Red Mane Horse.

He changed into casual clothes from the room, brought a few pieces of Silver-patterned Black Crocodile's dried meat, and took a look at Da Huang who was chasing flying insects in the yard, looking silly.

"Look at home, Da Huang."

After saying that, he opened the door and left.

Taking advantage of nothing to do in the past few days, he would go to Tongzhi County to confirm his second-rate skills.

It only takes a day, so it won't take long if you think about it.

Soon his figure disappeared into the night.

Watching Lin Sheng go out, Da Huang immediately pricked up his ears, as if he was listening carefully to make sure there were no footsteps, then he opened his mouth and swallowed the moths that kept flying in front of him in one gulp.

Then he walked towards the room in the courtyard with broken steps. Looking at the latch on the door, a look of disdain appeared on the dog's face. He jumped up from the ground, bit the latch and twisted it to the side.

There was only a crisp click and the door opened.

Da Huang immediately got in, twitching his nose and soon discovered something, and walked towards the room on the right. Inside were strings of dark red dried meat hanging from the beams. A flash of excitement flashed in his eyes. He jumped up on the bench beside him, bit a piece of dried meat, and then pulled off a piece of the dried meat with a strong force.

Ta-ta-ta-ta...

Amidst the rapid sound of horse hooves, on the official road leading to Lin'an County City, a convoy of several carriages was heading towards the county seat.

There is a simple ravine mountain pattern painted on the carriage, which is the mark of Town Mountain Tower.

There were also a dozen men with steady steps and strong builds around them, who were none other than Beast Hunter Hall.

As soon as the carriage passed by, the air was filled with the smell of blood, but it was covered up by another pungent smell of sulfur.

"Move quickly and deliver this batch of goods to the county as soon as possible. Then you can rest for a while..."

In front of the carriage was a tall, stocky man with a horse face, waving his whip and shouting to the convoy behind him.

"I know Captain!"

The people behind him immediately responded with a smile.

"It's been quite chaotic lately, so cheer me up, do you hear me?"

Seeing everyone's indifference, the horse-faced man frowned, but still drank.

But suddenly, the horse he was sitting on seemed to be stimulated, and it raised its front hooves high, almost throwing him to the ground.

Fortunately, he was very skilled and immediately grasped the horse's mane tightly to maintain his figure. However, the men on horseback following him did not have such good luck. They were all thrown to the ground by the sudden movement of the horse and fell to pieces.

"Damn beast, what's going on!?"

The painful wails were mixed with angry curses.

The horse-faced man quickly realized something was wrong.

In the surrounding bushes under the night sky, figures appeared at some point.

"No, there is..."

He immediately thought of something and was just about to ask.

Just listen to the sound of strong wind blowing from both sides.

A man and a horse reacted and were pierced by arrows.

After a round of shooting, only a few people were left intact, and before they could take a breath, dozens of big men with steel knives rushed out from both sides of the official road, hacking all the survivors to death.

The horse-faced man was also surrounded by several big men, his face full of anger.

"If you blind your dog eyes, you dare to touch Town Mountain Tower things."

However, what responded to him was only the cold light of the knife.

But after a few breaths, the sound suddenly stopped.

The horse-faced man fell to the ground with his eyes wide open and full of unwillingness. Blood Flow was all over his body, and he had been chopped to pieces.

"Take everything away and make it for the brothers to drink with you tonight."

Not long after, the carriage was driven in another direction.

The sky is slightly bright.

A sturdy figure wearing black clothes has appeared outside Tongzhi City.

"This is Tongzhi County. It is indeed much bigger than Lin'an County."

Looking at the majestic city in the field of vision, Lin Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

Linjiang Prefecture has twelve counties, and Tongzhi County can be ranked in the top three. There is naturally a big gap compared to Lin'an County City, which is ranked at the bottom.

"Red Mane Horse and Agility Boost are really effective in rushing, two hours earlier than expected."

Putting away his thoughts Lin Sheng walked towards the county seat not far away.

After traveling all night, except for two or three short breaks, there were almost no stops. It only took four hours to get here, and now I don't even feel tired.

Although the sky was bright at this time, Tongzhi County had already opened the door, and many pedestrians and merchants were entering. Lin Sheng followed the crowd and followed the flow of people into the city in a short time.

The streets are crowded with people, and vendors are selling their goods along the street, making it very lively.

It actually made Lin Sheng experience the fireworks that he hadn't seen in a long time.

He was not in a hurry and ordered two drawers of steamed buns and a bowl of mutton soup from a breakfast stall on the street. While eating, he asked the boss about it.

"Boss, where is Tongming Bookstore?"

The owner of the breakfast stall was a shiny, slightly fat middle-aged man. Hearing the question, he answered with a smile while wrapping his buns.

"Tongming Bookstore, it's the spacious one at the end of Fugui Street. Fugui Street is just along this main street and turn left at three intersections..."

"Thank you boss."

Lin Sheng marked down the location, took the last mouthful of mutton soup from the bowl, thanked her, put down a few big bucks, and stood up to leave.

According to what the boss said, he soon passed three intersections and turned onto a side street that was obviously much narrower than the main road.

When we reached the end, we quickly found our destination, Tongming Academy.

Calling it an academy is a bit of a compliment to this place. Although the area is not small, the door outside is quite old, and it has obviously been here for an unknown number of years.
