Fighting with fire shadow

Two days later, the eleven leaves of the neon grass bloomed at the same time, and a strange fragrance spread throughout the sea area hundreds of miles around at an extremely fast speed, triggering a riot of monsters in the sea area.

Thousands of monsters were attracted by the smell of the neon grass, and gathered into a terrifying tide of monsters, rushing towards the coral island where Ximen Cheng was.

At first, Ximen Cheng felt very happy when he saw the monster beasts that were attracted by the scent of the neon grass one after another, and asked Rem and the others to kill those monster beasts at full speed.

But before Ximen Cheng was happy, he felt something was not right. There were too many monsters attracted, including many sixth- and seventh-level monsters.

Perhaps because of the proximity to the monster sea abyss, the power of the thousand-year-old neon grass is obviously beyond Ximen Cheng's expectations.

If it weren't for Ximen Cheng's "Great Formation" deployed in advance, which interfered with the perception of those monsters, Rem and the others would have been torn to pieces by those crazy monsters in an instant, even if they had strength comparable to that of seventh-level monsters.

"Boom boom boom..."

In order to hunt more high-level monsters, Ximen Cheng also summoned Esdeath and Tushan Honghong. With the two of them here, they were able to successfully block the first wave of monsters.

While Ximen Cheng took advantage of Esdeath and the others to slaughter the monster beasts like crazy, he turned into a black shadow and quickly collected the remains of the destroyed monster beasts, and collected all the remains of the monster beasts into the divine power space.

"Level [-] monster?! Retreat!"

When Ximen Cheng felt the aura of an eighth-level monster approaching in the distance, he hurriedly took Rem and the others back into the Divine Power space, and then directly used [Divine Power] to teleport back to Black Rock City.

"Rumble..."

Without the control of Ximen Cheng, the "Great Formation" was quickly destroyed by a steady stream of monsters.

The thousand-year-old neon grass planted on the coral island has also become a fight for many monsters. The entire coral island was destroyed by these crazy monsters.

"call……"

Ximen Cheng, who returned to Black Rock City safely, couldn't help but feel scared when he recalled the terrifying wave of monsters just now.

If it were not for the ability to travel through space with the help of [Divinity], Ximen Cheng would probably have to summon the demon phoenix puppet to fight out those crazy monsters.

But then again, if it weren't for the [divine power] by his side, Ximen Cheng wouldn't have dared to act like this.

Although the wave of monsters just triggered is dangerous, it is also very rewarding.

Now the bounty in Ximen Cheng's hands has exceeded the 2000 million tael mark, and he also took the opportunity to collect the corpses of many monsters, including the corpses of several level six and level seven monsters.

In addition to the normal bounty rewards, thirteen props were revealed on the [Rebel Ninja Wanted] triggered by those monsters.

There are nine props named [Demon Power Crystal] and four innate abilities named [Autonomous Body].

The so-called [Demon Power Crystal] is an energy crystal condensed from pure demon power crystals. After the monster beast swallows it, its cultivation level can be greatly increased.

The appearance of [Demon Power Crystal] looks like a purple-black crystal ball. The smallest one is only the size of a thumb, and the largest one is as big as a fist. The larger the [Demon Power Crystal] contains, the more demon power it contains.

The [Autonomous Body] is a special innate ability, an ability that can quickly heal wounds and even regenerate broken limbs.

But what's a little strange is that most of the monsters with this [autonomous body] are low-level monsters, while high-level monsters rarely have this kind of innate ability.

The innate abilities of the four [Autonomous Bodies] in Ximen Cheng's hands are all derived from low-level monsters below level four.

Although Ximen Cheng's recovery ability is already very strong, he doesn't mind making his recovery ability stronger, so he uses an [Autonomous Body] talent for himself without hesitation.

As for the remaining three [Autonomous Body] talents, Ximen Cheng planned to keep them for Yun Yun and the others to use.

In the next more than half a month, Ximen Cheng stayed in Black Rock City to rest and use the monster materials in his hands to refine more than 20 fifth-level battle puppets.

Because refining the beauty puppet took too long, Ximen Cheng did not deliberately refine the beauty puppet, but instead refined some monster puppets that were better at fighting.

After consuming all the materials for the high-level monsters in his hand, Ximen Cheng took the refined new puppet and flew towards the depths of the sea.

……

Time flies by, like a fleeting moment, and half a year has passed unknowingly.

"Ding dong! It has been detected that the player's bounty has exceeded [-] million, reaching the minimum standard for Naruto Brawl system upgrade. Do you want to spend [-] million taels of bounty to upgrade the system?"

Just as Ximen Cheng used neon grass and combat puppets to hunt down a wave of monsters as usual, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

"???"

Ximen Cheng was slightly stunned at first, and then realized that the total bounty in his hand had exceeded [-] million. He pondered for a while, and finally said silently: "Upgrade the system!"

"Ding dong! The system upgrade will take twelve hours. During this period, the system will be under maintenance. Please wait patiently..."

"System? Property panel?"

As soon as the system beep sounded, Ximen Cheng found that he had lost contact with the system, and things like the attribute panel and advanced lottery pool could not be adjusted at all.

However, the various abilities and props Ximen Cheng had acquired were still there and had not disappeared due to the loss of contact with the system, which actually made him secretly relieved.

Although Ximen Cheng's current strength is inseparable from the help of the system, he cannot place all his hopes on the system.

If Ximen Cheng is really reduced to a mortal again because of the loss of contact with the system, then he will have to wonder if he is a puppet of the system?

Looking at it now, even if something goes wrong with the system, the abilities Ximen Cheng already possesses will not disappear. He can also use his own efforts to become an immortal and an ancestor.

During the system upgrade period, all major functions of the system cannot be used, and hunting monsters will naturally not trigger the [Rebel Wanted Order], so Ximen Cheng is too lazy to continue hunting monsters.

Taking advantage of the system upgrade, Ximen Cheng took stock of his gains in the past six months.

During the half year in the alien sea, Ximen Cheng gained a lot, which can be clearly seen from the fact that he was able to accumulate a bounty of hundreds of millions of taels.

In fact, in the past six months, Ximen Cheng used neon grass to trap and kill monsters on a large scale, only five or six times in total.

Most of the rest of the time, Ximen Cheng mainly spent on refining puppets, studying talismans and formations, cultivating gold-eating insects, and improving his own cultivation.
