Seeing that they were at the edge of the thorny jungle, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But when I saw the energy shock wave spreading in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If I hadn't met Xia Zhi, I would have really been in trouble this time.

"Can you put me down first?"

Di Yan, curled up in Xia Zhi's arms, whispered.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Xia Zhi released his hand on Di Yan's butt with a serious expression, like a gentleman.

In fact, with his strength, he originally wanted to help everyone get through it.

But it's rare for someone to throw themselves at him, so he can only show his affection reluctantly.

After all, his principle is fair trade, and this time he can be considered to be collecting some interest, so that his work will not be in vain.

Afterwards, Xia Zhi chatted with everyone for a while and learned the purpose of their trip.

Fortunately, the mission was completed, otherwise the entire Thorn Jungle would be destroyed and it would take a long time for it to refresh.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xia Zhi, who had the ability to teleport, naturally didn't mind giving them a ride.

Coming to the Book of Advancement, Xia Zhi clicked Submit Task.

A surge of power surged through my body, and I instantly felt a lot stronger.

Unfortunately, as the level increases, the gap in strength becomes greater.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he can defeat everyone and look down on everyone when he is at a low level. Fighting against people at a higher level is as easy as eating or drinking water.

But as the strength reaches a certain level, the exchange rate of strength growth becomes lower and lower.

Otherwise, if it was still the same improvement as when it was at a lower level, he wouldn't have been chased around by those monkeys in the ruins last time.

Although he felt that he had made great progress at this moment, after feeling the power above the ninth level in the ruins, he knew that he was still far behind.

Compared to the creatures he knew, its current strength should be comparable to that of the ninth-order epic snake-bull.

He wanted to have a fight, but the entrance to the ruins was destroyed by him last time. Without the talent for space, it was difficult for him to locate the entrance, let alone break through the space restrictions to enter.

What's more, he didn't know what was going on with that being above the ninth level, and he didn't want to go in and seek death.

According to the current improvement efficiency, it is estimated that only the eighth level can defeat the monster.

Either you help the pet evolve and improve its attributes to the extreme, or you fuse two more pets.

"The next step is the prize drawing."

Xia Zhi rubbed his hands obscenely.

After all, he completed the black mission, and I believe this reward will not disappoint him.

If he could come up with another skill equal to the 'God's Stairway', then this time he might really be successful, and it would also allow him to ensure his own safety after heading into the abyss.

As the mission reward appeared, Xia Zhi stretched out his hands.

A ray of light flashed, and then his hands sank, and a cold object fell into Xia Zhi's hands.

"Hmm? Looks familiar?"

Looking at the nearly half-meter-long silver cube in his hand, Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment.

If he remembered correctly, he also got a silver metal cube last time, but this time it was much bigger than before.

"What a piece of crap! Is this what you get for the highest-level mission?"

Xia Zhi's mouth twitched unconsciously.

This thing isn't even introduced, let alone used.

It's like a piece of trash in his hands, totally useless.

What's more, he didn't even understand what was going on last time, and now he was given a larger one.

Even if you know it's a good thing, it's a big flaw that you can't use it.

"Is it to forge weapons for me?"

After thinking about it, it seems that this is the only explanation.

However, he has the Dream Maker, so he doesn't need weapons at all, unless this thing can forge artifact-level items.

But on second thought, it seems a bit difficult. After all, forging a divine weapon requires strength. I'm afraid even a blacksmith above the ninth level may not be able to forge it.

Throwing the silver metal into the air, Xia Zhi suddenly discovered two holes on it.

"Hmm? This hole..."

Catching the silver metal, Xia Zhi looked at the square hole on it and fell into deep thought.

Then he took out the metal block he had obtained earlier from the Beast Taming Space.

I had originally just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect that the metal block I got from the last upgrade would fit the hole perfectly.

And when you touch it with your hand, it fits perfectly, with no visible signs of anything being stuffed in.

However, after the two metals were combined into one, no changes occurred.

Xia Zhi turned the metal block over and found another similar hole at the bottom.

"Does it take all of them to open it?"

"What the hell is this? Why don't you just give it to me? Who are you trying to disgust by doing this?!"

He had the urge to throw it away, but when he thought that it might be an artifact-level item, Xia Zhi finally suppressed the idea of throwing it away.

It just takes some effort. Since you've been given metal blocks twice in a row, there's a high chance you'll get the same item the next time you advance.

Just like 'Dawn Symphony', he has obtained three copies in a row.

He estimated that this should be a hidden mechanism of the Blue Star system, giving priority to obtaining items you own.

Of course, everything still depends on strength.

If he had been doing low-quality dungeons and quests, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to obtain the same items even when he reached the ninth level.

Xia Zhi threw the metal cube into the beast-controlling space and exited the consciousness space.

Now everything is done, and all that remains is to wait to go to the abyss world.

After leaving the consciousness space, I saw Di Yan and others standing in the advancement hall with happy faces, chatting about their respective gains.
