After putting the last scale into his bag, Thanos turned to look at Gu Shi, "I remember you said before that you were about to advance, right? With the ten scales you've harvested this time, you should be almost there."
Gu Shi nodded and said, "Well, I should be able to advance after I go back. I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on me then."
After receiving feedback on the scales from the shadow team in the safe zone last time, he felt the sign of a breakthrough. He thought that the ten scales obtained from the elimination of the shadow team this time would be enough for him to break through to the advanced level of the sixth rank.
"No problem, let's go back."
After returning to the safe zone, the two of them rested well for a night.
Only after his body and mind had recovered to their best condition and the surrounding venue had been fully arranged did Gu Shi prepare to start advancing.
As the familiar magic power entered his body, Gu Shi closed his eyes and focused all his attention on his own breakthrough.
Although it had not been long since his last breakthrough, the magic power that Gu Shi had gained in these days was substantial. Even if he advanced at this time, his foundation was very solid.
Gu Shi was not in a hurry. He patiently transformed the external magic power bit by bit. When these magic powers could be fully used by Gu Shi, he would have a breakthrough naturally.
It took some more time, and only after the magic power in his body was completely stabilized, did Gu Shi come out of the meditation state.
"Advanced successfully? Congratulations!" Thanos was the first to congratulate Gu Shi.
Gu Shi said happily: "Thank you."
To celebrate Gu Shi's successful breakthrough, they had a big meal and tasted many of each other's special foods. Both of them enjoyed the meal very much.
After a brief celebration, the two got down to business.
Gu Shi stretched lazily. "How about we take a rest for a night and then head out tomorrow to catch the remaining shadows in the city?"
Thanos agreed very much, “Okay, I’ve been here for so long, I’m almost tired of the surrounding scenery.
I just don’t know if I can find a way back after leaving here. The Lost City of Mermaids… I’m sure there are elders in my family who would be interested in this place.”
Hearing Thanos say this, Gu Shi thought for a moment and handed the pointer that had led him here to him. "Then I'll give this to you."
Thanos was stunned. "Is it possible? Such a precious token must have taken a lot of effort for you to obtain it, right?"
Gu Shi waved his hand and said, "It's not what you think. This is a thank-you gift from a classmate. I got it by accident.
After I explored this city once, its adventurous value to me had been exhausted.
Besides, if one day I really need to come here again, can't I ask you to bring me in? Am I just a superficial friend in your heart?"
Thanos immediately replied, "Of course not, I will definitely bring you here."
"That's good. Here." Gu Shi smiled and handed the pointer to Thanos again.
Thanos took the pointer from Gu Shi and said, "I'll take it, thank you."
A night passed.
The two men launched a carpet search of the city. Since the powerful black shadows had been dealt with, they acted a little more recklessly than before.
The device that Gu Shi originally made to lure the tiger away from the mountain is now used to lure the black shadow. When the two of them are in action, they will also deliberately make some big noise in the city.
With a two-pronged approach, it didn't take them long to catch all the escaped criminals in the city.
"Huh, this should be the last one, right?" Thanos moved his arms. His hands were a little numb when he was blocking the enemy's attack just now.
Gu Shi held the scale in his palm and checked the map. "It's likely that we have searched all areas. Unless someone is extremely lucky, it may have escaped our sight."
Thanos said: "Well, I think so, let's go back quickly."
Coming to the transparent coral reef, Gu Shi looked up and looked around at this beautiful coral reef. Thanks to the efforts of the two of them over the past few days, this coral reef has expanded a lot.
After throwing the last few scales into it, in addition to the usual magic balls, a blue magic circle slowly emerged on the open space in front of the coral reef, which they used as a temporary camp.
Gu Shi was just about to call Thanos to go over and take a look, but he found that his eyes were blank and empty. It seemed that he was probably communicating with the mysterious consciousness again.
Gu Shi sighed silently. Is this racial discrimination? The difference in treatment is a bit too obvious!
After complaining in his heart, Gu Shi wanted to go over and see the situation himself, but who knew that Thanos recovered quite quickly this time.
Before Gu Shi turned his head back, he had already come back to his senses.
Gu Shi asked curiously, "You woke up? Why so quickly this time?"
"Because it didn't say anything, it just gave us an extra gift."
As he spoke, Thanos pointed to a ball of light blue that appeared out of nowhere and was suspended in the coral reef ahead.
"You can take this. After all, I just received the pointer you gave me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the chance to have this adventure."
"good."
Seeing Thanos' sincere expression, Gu Shi did not refuse and agreed directly.
He took two steps forward, looked at the ball of light, and asked with a hint of doubt: "Do you know what's in here?"
Thanos shook his head, "I don't know. It just said it was a gift."
Gu Shi knew that he would not get an answer from Thanos, so he simply reached out towards the ball of light.
The moment Gu Shi's fingers touched it, the ball of light flowed into his body along his fingertips.
Gu Shi could feel something cold flowing through his body.
The ball of light flowed along the trajectory of the magic power in Gu Shi's body, and was surprised to find that there was no place suitable for it to stay in such a big body.
In the end, it could only be split into two reluctantly. One part returned to Gu Shi's right hand, turned into a complicated pattern in the palm of his hand, flashed twice, and then disappeared.
The other part, along with the moist magic power that Gu Shi had not had time to digest, rushed straight into his sea of magic.
Before Gu Shi could react, his magic power was growing at a terrifying speed. He had just entered the next level, but now he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
At the same time, an additional piece of information appeared in Gu Shi's mind.
However, he now had no extra energy to interpret this information. After trying several times and still unable to suppress the magic power in his body, Gu Shi had no choice but to choose to advance immediately.
