After going into the sea, I met Miss Witch

Looking at the [Fire Dragon Egg] in front of him, Ryan was caught in a dilemma.

Raising a "pet baby", and it is foreseeable that the fire dragon baby will be extremely powerful after growing up, is undoubtedly an exciting choice.

Especially for the creatures of "Red Yao Evolution", the strength increases at an astonishing speed, and the growth cycle is much shorter than that of normal monsters.

This kind of "pet baby" raised from childhood must have no problem with loyalty.

But the problem is that the parents of this little guy died in his hands.

Ryan did not feel guilty about the crusade against the female fire dragon and the male fire dragon leader. After all, he died several times in the hands of the male fire dragon leader.

The feeling of being on the verge of death cannot be empathized by those who have not experienced it personally.

What's more, in nature, the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle.

But killing someone's parents and then raising it as your own "pet baby", how to think about it is a bit awkward, right?

Ryan originally came to this female fire dragon's nest to taste the dragon egg, but now, he is a little reluctant to give it up.

After thinking for a long time, Ryan finally decided to take the fire dragon egg away.

This kind of thing with signs of life cannot be put into the space ring, so Ryan can only hold it in one hand and climb down the tree with the other hand.

This action, which is absolutely impossible for a normal person to complete, is extremely easy for him now.

With the fire dragon egg, Ryan rushed all the way and soon returned to [Bonfire Point-Giant Tree Gap].

Placing the half-man-high dragon egg next to the burning campfire, Ryan exhaled lightly.

Although the little life in the fire dragon egg is no longer in danger of death, because of the previous loss, even with the supplement of [Red Crystal], it is impossible to hatch for a while.

As for the treatment of the fire dragon egg, it is better to wait until it is about to hatch.

Sitting cross-legged next to the campfire, Ryan teleported back to the "raft" and chose "return".

The only thing that made him feel a little regretful about this trip was that the body of the female fire dragon could not be found. He didn't know whether it was washed away by the mountain torrent or taken away by the male fire dragon leader.

...

[Viewing Place]

Freni looked at the picture in front of her nervously, her two little hands clenched together, pressed against her body, and a few wrinkles appeared on her lapels.

This "big gamble" determined the basis on which she would be promoted to the second level, so how could she not be nervous?

Time passed as usual, but in Freni's feeling, it seemed extremely long.

After an unknown amount of time, the picture finally changed.

Freni's heart trembled. She did not check the "battle record" immediately, but closed her eyes first and prayed seriously and devoutly in her heart.

Miss Witch did not believe in any god of the church. The object of her prayer was the God of Creation, who was unknown whether this world existed.

God had pity, Freni promised that she had never been so pious in her life.

After doing all this, she nervously opened her eyes and looked at the screen.

[The battle record is as follows:]

[After the traveler set up three "hole traps", he "shot a cold arrow" at the female fire dragon's nest. ]

[The angry female fire dragon flew out of the nest and landed on the ground, and the battle began! ]

[The female fire dragon took the lead in using the move "charged fireball", and the rolling flames attacked the traveler. ]

[The traveler, who could have dodged, chose to bear it hard...]

Seeing this, Furen's fingers trembled.

After so many times of watching, she has already had a deep understanding of the power of the fire dragon's fire breath.

In the past, when the traveler encountered the male fire dragon leader, he was seriously injured and dying after a fire breath. Although the female fire dragon's strength is not as good as the male fire dragon leader, it also has 34 points of combat power. Its "charged fireball" is absolutely powerful.

You, you, you... can you dodge or not, it seems that you are going to perform it openly, right?

At this moment, Freni's heart sank.

But she gritted her teeth and continued to look down.

[In the sea of ​​fire, the traveler with "fire resistance equipment" was unharmed, and the female fire dragon was stunned. ]

Freni was also stunned, and then her eyes were full of stars and joy.

Good, good, worthy of being a "despicable" traveler!

[The traveler approached in the sea of ​​fire, and the female fire dragon panicked and used the "tail swing attack" containing poison. ]

[The traveler was not careless, dodged with a flash, and then rushed forward and hit the female fire dragon's forehead. ]

[The female fire dragon was furious, roared with a dragon, and the traveler was stunned...]

Freni's heart skipped a beat, but with previous experience, she did not rush to draw a conclusion, but continued to watch.

[The traveler hurt himself, woke up from the shock of the dragon roar, and roared back at the female fire dragon. ]

[The female fire dragon fell into a "fainting state". ]

Well done!

Freni excitedly punched, but she couldn't help but think about the race of the traveler. How did this guy do it? A roar made a behemoth like the female fire dragon fall into a "fainting state"?

Hmm...

[The traveler took advantage of the victory and hit the female fire dragon's forehead again. ]

[The female fire dragon fell into a "fainting state" again after being hit twice on the forehead. ]

[The traveler used a secret technique to fall into a weak state, and also reduced the defense of the female fire dragon. ]

[With the last extreme heavy slash of the traveler, the female fire dragon went to death. ]

[The battle is over! ]

[Your investment is successful. Based on the investment amount and proportion, you will get [Spirit Essence]: 2188]

[Current [Spiritual Essence]: 2388]

Looking at the number of "Spiritual Essence", Freni blinked, and then she was overwhelmed by the huge surprise.

"Traveler, I knew you were the best!"

The witch lady jumped up excitedly, and it took a lot of effort for her to suppress her excitement.

"Calm down, calm down, Freni, you are a princess, how can you be so happy about such a "little thing", you should pay attention to etiquette..."

"But I'm the only one here, what etiquette, go to hell!"

"Hahahaha!"

The girl put her hands on her waist, and the fluffy witch hat on her head swayed with her owner.

"Hoo hoo..."

After being happy for a while, Freni turned her eyes back to the picture.

Because the traveler won, the picture did not stop, which also meant that the viewing could continue.

After observing the figure outlined by abstract lines on the picture for a while, that is, the "traveler" walking through the towering forest, not knowing what to do, Freni thought about it and opened the exchange list.

Because the spiritual essence held exceeds 1000, new items are unlocked on the exchange list.

[Second-level spiritual enhancement crystal: After special treatment and refinement of pure spiritual crystal, after use, it can be digested in a short time, and the upper limit of one's spirituality can be permanently increased by 0.1.

[Second-level spiritual recovery crystal: After special treatment and refinement, spiritual recovery crystal can be used to quickly recover the consumed spirituality in a short time (after use by second-level professionals, spirituality can be fully restored). [Spiritual essence] required for exchange: 1000 points. ]

(When the [Spiritual essence] you have reaches 10,000 (including the ones you have used), you can unlock new items.)

——

The newly unlocked items in the exchange list are nothing new. They are all upgraded versions of the previously exchangeable items.

But this did not disappoint Freni, but made her extremely happy.

She did not need anything fancy. This simple but powerful "precious material" that could not be found in the world was what she needed most.

But...

"1000 Spiritual Essences are needed to exchange for one."

Freni was shocked.

This thing is too expensive!

This made Freni, who had just become "a little rich", experience the taste of "poverty" again.

"Ah..."

With a slight sigh, Miss Witch sat down again, propped her chin with both hands, and stared blankly at the screen on the [Observation Deck].

"2388 Spiritual Essences" is enough for her to exchange for 9 [First-level Spiritual Enhancement Crystals], which will increase her spirituality to the current limit.

Based on this, she will be promoted to the second level, and with the witch power that will also undergo transformation due to the advancement, once she is promoted to the second level, she will undoubtedly be the strongest among the second level.

Even if it is the "Second-level Extreme Professional" who is relatively restrained from her, that is, the twelfth seat of the Black Knight, she is not afraid.

But in this way, her [Spiritual Essence] will fall back to 588 points...

"It would be great if I could invest successfully again."

Freni thought silently in her heart.

She knew that her idea was wrong, but the temptation of profit was like a deep swamp, dragging her in little by little. Even though she was aware of the risks, she felt that even if she took some risks, it was worth it when she thought of the benefits after success!

At this moment, the screen of the [Observation Deck] changed.

In the sky, a red shadow quickly swept towards the Traveler, and the screen entered a stagnant state at this moment.

[The "Beginner's Heart" Traveler encountered a powerful enemy - the Male Fire Dragon Leader, and a battle was about to break out. ]

[Battle power comparison of the two camps: Traveler (33) vs. Male Fire Dragon Leader (39)]

[You currently have an investment amount [Spirit Essence: 2388]]

[The ratio of the two sides - Traveler: Male Fire Dragon Leader = 9.0:1.1, the minimum investment amount is 100 Spirit Essence. ]

[You have 30 seconds to place your investment bet...]

Looking at the prompt in front of her, Furenyi's face was stern, her mind raced, and she analyzed it quickly.

After defeating the female fire dragon, the traveler's combat power increased from "30" to "33", which is a great improvement. However, compared with the male fire dragon leader whose combat power is as high as "39", the gap is still very large.

This can be seen from the investment return ratio.

Freni still remembers that when she first saw the traveler encounter the male fire dragon leader, the combat power of both sides was 24:39, and the investment return ratio was 9.9:1.01.

Now, the combat power of the traveler has increased to 33, and the numerical gap with the male fire dragon is only 6 points, but the investment return ratio of both sides is still an exaggerated 9.0:1.1.

The combat power has increased so much, but the ratio has not changed substantially.

Such an exaggerated ratio means that it is almost impossible for the current traveler to defeat the male fire dragon leader.

Instinctively, Freni wanted to invest directly in the male fire dragon leader.

After all, the ratio of 1.1 and 10% profit are already quite good. If she invests all 2388 [Spirit Essence] in, she can also get 239 points of [Spirit Essence].

But when her finger was about to click, she suddenly paused.

Freni thought of the "full preparation" of the traveler this time - the fire-resistant equipment...

9.0 return on investment...9.0 return on investment...9.0 return on investment...

The devilish temptation kept echoing in her mind.

Seeing that the countdown was about to reach zero, Freni took a deep breath and moved her finger to the "traveler".

"It's decided to be you, traveler, don't let me down!"

"Invest 588 soul essence!"

At the last moment, Miss Witch still maintained a little rationality and did not invest the 1800 soul essence required to exchange for 9 [first-level spiritual enhancement crystals].

However, 588 soul essence is not a small amount.

If the investment fails, 1800 soul essences are exchanged for 9 [first-level spiritual enhancement crystals], then next time she can only start from 0, ah, no, from 100 soul essences.

The price is not small.

As the choice ended, the picture in front of Freni was fixed on [in battle, please wait for the final result...]

And this wait was a long time.

Freni was nervous at first, then uneasy, and in the end, she was a little numb.

With nothing to do, she even quietly practiced her spirituality and magic control.

After a long time, finally, the screen of the [Observation Deck] changed.

Freni was refreshed, and quickly stopped her movements and set her eyes on the screen.

[The battle record is as follows:]

[After the traveler arranged three larger "hole traps" and buried the secret treasure to create a "special fireproof environment", he took out the "bait" and began to seduce the male fire dragon leader. ]

Seeing the first sentence, Freni smiled.

Not bad, not bad, the pre-war arrangement is perfect, so it is not completely without a chance of winning.

[With new and old hatreds piling up, the furious male fire dragon leader flew over and used his exclusive move "One Word Breath" in mid-air, and the billowing flames swept down. 】

【The "special fireproof environment" arranged by the traveler has taken effect. The weakened sea of ​​fire cannot harm the traveler wearing "fire-resistant equipment". 】

【After the "one-word breath", the male fire dragon leader skillfully connected the move "Heavenly Cruel Kick", and the dragon claws attacked from top to bottom, trying to grab the traveler into pieces. 】

Seeing this, Freni's heart tightened.

She has a deep memory of the "Heavenly Cruel Kick".

Before today, the traveler had died from the "Heavenly Cruel Kick" several times.

With a nervous mood, Miss Witch continued to look down.

【Faced with the "Heavenly Cruel Kick" that was coming, the traveler, who was very familiar with this move, did not try to dodge, but used the "secret technique" when the "Heavenly Cruel Kick" was about to come. 】

【Affected by the "secret technique", the male fire dragon leader fell into a "fainting state" and was about to fall. ]

[The Traveler used his secret technique again, and on the eve of the male fire dragon leader's "forced landing", he attacked its tail with an extreme heavy slash. ]

[The male fire dragon leader's tail was broken! ]

[The male fire dragon leader fell to the ground and hit the cliff wall, suffering secondary damage and falling into a "severe fainting state". ]

[The Traveler took advantage of the victory and hit the head hard, smashing the male fire dragon leader's head into the mud. ]

Seeing this, Freni was stunned.

How did the Traveler suddenly become so fierce?

Can a mere 3 points of combat power increase bring such a huge change?

No, that's not right.

The reason why the situation is completely different this time is that the Traveler has made sufficient preparations in advance. The so-called "special fireproof environment" and "fire-resistant equipment" allow him to ignore the male fire dragon leader's flame breath, coupled with the unexpected "fainting secret technique", which has led to the current results.

In this way, wouldn't it be possible to win? !

What ratio is 9.0:1.1? It's just nonsense.

My dear traveler will surely win over the strong with the weak!

The look of expectation on Miss Witch's face became more and more intense, and she was overjoyed.

[The traveler used heavy slash again to kill the male fire dragon leader. At the critical moment, the male fire dragon leader exploded. ]

[The male fire dragon leader entered the "Red Flame Rage" state, and his combat power increased significantly (+1), breaking through the critical value and reaching the "weak superior domain"! ]

The sudden change made Freni stunned.

Wait, isn't it, can it be like this?

Red Flame Rage, what is this!

"Weak superior domain", although I don't understand its meaning, it sounds very powerful.

Freni reached out and patted her fair and delicate face, trying to calm down.

"Hoohoo..."

Miss Witch couldn't help but think of the scene of investing in the water dragon. The past was like a heavy hammer, hitting her head hard, buzzing.

With despair, she continued to look down.

[The furious "Red Flame Violent Male Fire Dragon Leader" roared with a powerful dragon, and the sound waves repelled the traveler who was close to him and caused him to suffer "moderate injuries". ]

[The dragon's might at the level of "weak upper domain" suppressed the traveler and reduced his combat effectiveness. ]

[The sound waves of the dragon's roar caused the cliff to collapse, and the mountain torrents surged out. Unexpectedly, the traveler and the "Red Flame Violent Male Fire Dragon Leader" were both involved. ]

[In the water, a black shadow emerged, and the traveler's combat partner-Dayin (Red Flame Silverback Shark, combat power 30) lifted up the traveler who was about to drown. 】

【Affected by the mountain torrent, the male fire dragon leader was forced to exit the "Red Flame Rage" and fell into a weak state. 】

【Downstream of the mountain torrent, the battle started again. 】

【Dayin's attack destroyed the male fire dragon leader's wing membrane, and the male fire dragon leader lost the ability to fly. 】

【The traveler rushed to the male fire dragon leader's flame breath and cut off his head. 】

【The male fire dragon leader let out a sad cry, and the king will eventually end. 】

【The battle is over! 】

【Your investment is successful. Based on the investment amount and proportion, you will get [Spirit Essence]: 5292】

【Current [Spirit Essence]: 7092】

The sudden change made Freni confused.

This battle can be said to be full of twists and turns, and her mood is like a roller coaster, ups and downs.

"So, my investment here is successful?!"

There was confusion in the witch lady's voice. After a few seconds, she cheered: "A big harvest!"
