Beast Control

[Name: Zhang Chen]

[Skill (Tier 2): Light of the Righteous God (0/5000)]

[Skill (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)]

[Points: 1100]

Zhang Chen stared at the new skill, Dragon Qi, completely stunned. When he had upgraded the mysterious Golden Light before, it only required fifty points, but this new skill, Dragon Qi, actually needed two thousand points to upgrade?

"Could it be that the points required for each skill upgrade are different?" Zhang Chen looked at his new skill, Dragon Qi, a thoughtful expression in his eyes. "That's normal, after all, skills also have strengths and weaknesses, high and low."

Zhang Chen's eyes were fixed on the Dragon Qi skill on his golden finger interface, a hint of contemplation in them. He wondered what use this Dragon Qi had. Just as thoughts flickered in his mind, he suddenly saw a golden light burst forth from the golden finger interface. A dragon-shaped phantom roared, seemingly shaking the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, and abruptly drilled into Zhang Chen's Nascent Soul. Then, Zhang Chen felt as if a strange piece of information had appeared in his mind, as if he had gained some knowledge, born with it naturally.

[Dragon Qi (Unranked): Can control all unranked beasts within a hundred meters for one hour. Cooldown: One day.]

Zhang Chen inexplicably understood the information about Dragon Qi and then couldn't help but laugh. "This skill is good! This skill is good! It's actually an area-of-effect skill that can control all unranked beasts within a hundred meters. It's simply a super buff for hunting in the mountains! If a wild beast drills into a cave, I can even control it to come out and die. This is simply a divine skill. With this skill, why would I even go hunting in the mountains? I can just control the beasts to deliver themselves to me."

"This skill is quite overpowered. It can control all wild beasts within a hundred meters. If I walk around in the mountains, wouldn't I be able to gather a beast tide army... No, there's a flaw. It can't exceed one hour, and there's a one-day cooldown." Zhang Chen looked at the new skill, his brows furrowed. This new skill was good, but the limitations were too great. A lot could be done in an hour, but too much couldn't be done either.

If he encountered an opponent, would he have to find a way to gather a group of wild beasts from the mountains and then cross mountains and ridges to chase the enemy?

Moreover, he also had to consider the time to escape. When controlling those dangerous fierce beasts, he always had to leave himself time to get out of danger, right?

"A one-day cooldown is too long," Zhang Chen looked at the skill interface, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

At this moment, Zhang Chen closed his eyes. Centered around him, projections of animals suddenly appeared within a hundred meters, entering his perception.

"Hmm? There are ants, and also snakes? But aren't there too many snakes here?" Zhang Chen suddenly shivered, sensing the surrounding animals, his eyes filled with horror. Within a hundred meters, there were actually thousands of dense snakes, practically a snake nest. At this time, the snakes were coiled in the surrounding soil, seemingly hibernating in the frozen ground.

"How can there be so many snakes? I obtained Dragon Qi, and so many snakes are gathered here. There must be a connection." Zhang Chen's expression became serious.

There were many snakes around, and the large ones were as thick as water tanks and over ten meters long, looking like giant pythons, very terrifying. As for the small snakes, the smallest were only as thick as chopsticks, lurking in the frozen ground and hibernating.

Zhang Chen was slow to realize and quickly looked at the Stone Tablet: How could this Stone Tablet drop skills? And it dropped experience points?

Zhang Chen's eyes were fixed on the Stone Tablet, only to see that it was now clean and new, not a speck of dust on it, as if it had just been carved. The most crucial thing was that the bloodstains he had smeared on it yesterday had also disappeared without a trace.

"This..." Zhang Chen looked at the Stone Tablet in front of him and couldn't help but gasp, a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He had felt that this tomb was strange before, but he hadn't expected that just digging out a tombstone would lead to such strange occurrences.

"This Stone Tablet?" Zhang Chen silently circulated the Light of the Righteous God for defense, then cautiously stared at the Stone Tablet with his eyes, but saw no abnormality. He then secretly felt relieved:

"It's a good thing for me that this Stone Tablet can drop skills. If it can drop a few more, wouldn't I be rich?"

Zhang Chen also thought about how he had smeared blood on the Stone Tablet yesterday. Could the Stone Tablet dropping skills be related to the blood he smeared yesterday?

Zhang Chen squatted in front of the Stone Tablet, always feeling that this tomb was very strange, but facing the temptation of experience points and skills, he couldn't bear to give up.

If he didn't continue digging, where would he get experience points? How could he upgrade his skills?

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment, still feeling that the bold would be full and the timid would starve. He still had to continue digging.

Zhang Chen took out his hammer and continued to dig in the frozen ground, unaware that a white-furred fox had arrived outside the cave at this time. The white-furred fox stood at the entrance of the cave, its eyes looking at the dark and deep cave, listening to the sound of chiseling inside. At this time, its face was full of hesitation and indecision. It stared at the cave for a long time, and finally turned its head and chose to leave.

A day passed in a flash. Zhang Chen was covered in animal skins, and this time he dug for a much longer time.

At a certain moment, Zhang Chen stopped digging. After shaking off the dirt on his body, his eyes looked at his golden finger interface:

[Name: Zhang Chen]

[1 Skill (Tier 2): Light of the Righteous God (0/5000)]

[2 Skill (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)]

[Points: 1500]

"I actually gained four hundred experience points today. This is really good news for me. If I collect another five hundred experience points, Dragon Qi should be able to upgrade. But now I'm facing two choices. The first choice is to save up five thousand experience points and then upgrade my Tier 2 skill, Light of the Righteous God, to Tier 3. The second choice is to upgrade the second skill when I have two thousand skill points, pushing my second skill to Tier 1. At that time, there will definitely be a great improvement." Zhang Chen looked at his golden finger interface, a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

The Light of the Righteous God can ward off evil, especially restraining ominous forces at the soul level. The second skill directly affects the body of animals. If he increased the level of the second skill and directly controlled the Fox Spirit, wouldn't he be able to directly order the Fox Spirit to serve him tea, pour water, wash clothes, and fold quilts?

Zhang Chen secretly pondered: "It's just hard to judge what tier that Fox Spirit is. It's at least Tier 3, right? Because I can't see through the Fox Spirit's details at all right now. It's always right to overestimate a little. Overestimating a little won't affect the overall situation. If I underestimate, I'm afraid I'll die miserably!"
