Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

Let the secret assassin see why the flowers are so red.

Two swords sliced ​​off the assassin's palms, which were blocking the attack. The dagger-wielding skeleton then reappeared beside the assassin, stabbing his waist with the dagger in its hand.

"puff!"

Another white bone blade slashed down on his shoulder, and now the arcane assassin had no hope of escape.

If he had decided to sell out the elite team and escape from the beginning, he might still have had a chance to get away. If Julianne and the other adventurers hadn't retreated, they might have had a chance to defeat the skeletons if they had held out a little longer.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

Amat was cut in two. Although he was not dead, the intense death energy in the Skeleton Clan leader's blade was preventing his body from healing, and the vampire's vigorous vitality was no longer as effective as before.

Unless rescued, Amat cannot leave the bamboo forest alive.

But now, where does Amat find reinforcements?

It wasn't just him; many adventurers in the bamboo forest were crippled by the skeletons' attacks and were unable to leave. The skeletons didn't finish them off because these guys no longer had the ability to affect the operation of the ultra-wide-area magic circle.

The effects of the ultra-wide-area magic circle are becoming increasingly powerful and are about to reach their peak.

The bamboo forest area is about to be closed off. The barrier caused by the difference in the flow of time will make adventurers who come and go in and out of the bamboo forest feel intense discomfort.

If an adventurer enters and exits the bamboo forest multiple times, he will suffer the backlash of time. At best, his body will be injured and his lifespan greatly reduced; at worst, he will die on the spot and his soul will be torn apart by time. This is no longer an area that ordinary adventurers can explore.

On the night the bamboo forest closed, a group of elderly fire-chewing hyenas, with a young fire-chewing hyena that had just grown a little, walked through the slowly reviving bamboo forest.

The little fire hyena, which was beginning to show signs of leadership, had a broken horn in its mouth and kept pulling down starlight from the sky, spreading it throughout the bamboo forest to nourish all things and in turn support the operation of the ultra-wide-area magic array.

This is the horn of the Star Unicorn. After Bell modified it, he turned it into a powerful star power collector that can draw down a large amount of star power from the sky.

Leaving the Star Unicorn Horn in the bamboo forest is not a bad deal. With its presence, the bamboo forest, a dangerous place, will recover faster, and the Sea of ​​Desolation will be replenished and become stronger after the ecological recovery.

Through the God's-eye view provided by the Sea of ​​Despair, Bell can see the various plants growing wildly in the bamboo forest, as well as the animal populations slowly recovering.

The once desolate bamboo forest is now showing signs of green, and it is no longer just bamboo.

The animal herds on the periphery of the bamboo forest are also migrating into the bamboo forest at a slow pace.

In a daze, Bell saw the future recovery process of the bamboo forest. When the plants became lush and abundant again, the number of beasts would also increase. The beasts that had devoured the magical plants and precious medicines would then breed new magical beast communities.

"But by then, the bamboo forest probably won't be called a bamboo forest anymore. What will human adventurers call this dangerous place then..."

After muttering to himself, Bell stopped paying attention to the bamboo forest. He was looking forward to being called a king in the future, but now Bell could no longer suppress his body's desire to sleep.

Bell already had a lot of experience points, and now, with the repair of the Sea of ​​Sinking, a large amount of energy was fed back into Bell's body and converted into a massive amount of experience points. Even without leveling up, he was becoming stronger at an unprecedented speed.

The accumulation of a large amount of experience points is also urging Bell to urgently use a period of slumber to transform them into his own power.

Chapter 195 Bell's Explosive Boost

'The Bloodthirsty Vine has evolved into a mid-level magical plant; you have gained 11 experience points.'

'Nie Xiao's offspring has successfully hatched and awakened a wisp of the legendary magical beast Starry Night Owl bloodline. You have gained 77 experience points.'

'The Fire-Chewing Hyena Chieftain bathed in starlight and ignited his beastly fire; you gained 52 experience points.'

'The Skeletons constructed the Wonder of the Deathly Aura Sedimentation Pool; you gained 139 experience points.'

……

As time went by, Bell gained more and more experience and feedback.

Everything happening in the bamboo forest that is conducive to the recovery of the region's Sea of ​​Depths is giving Bell a power feedback. This feedback is not only experiential, but also strengthens Bell's connection with the Sea of ​​Depths.

The growth of numerous magical plants and precious herbs is the biggest source of Bell's experience points. Although the experience points Bell receives when a single magical plant matures are not many, the sheer quantity of these plants is enormous.

Because of the existence of the Star Unicorn horn, many magical plants and beasts have also gained the opportunity for bloodline evolution under the nourishment of starlight.

The skeleton race is even more formidable; these dull-witted creatures are innately imbued with the bone technology of the lost kingdom, and have now created wonders.

Wonders are the crystallization of the civilization of intelligent races and often possess incredible power.

The Skeleton Race created the Death Aura Sedimentation Pool, which can transform the corpses of various creatures into thick death aura and deposit it in the pool to nurture new Skeletons. This is the Skeleton Race's ancestral home; a race cannot bear the name of a race if it does not have a generational transition.

Besides the Death Aura Sedimentation Pool, the Skeletons also built other structures and creations, reviving the kingdom's bone architecture techniques.

Located outside the Bamboo Sea, Bell has entered a deep sleep due to a large influx of experience points. In his sleep, he has not restrained his body, revealing his true form as a primal behemoth, and his body continues to grow.

Bear Grylls

Race: Bamboo Rat (Ancient Behemoth Template)

Level: lv.14 (3691/300)

Bell was fully absorbing the 3,691 experience points. This massive reserve of experience points was enough to instantly boost his life level to level 20. Moreover, after he had used up all of these experience points, the Sea of ​​Depths would continue to provide Bell with new experience points.

As Bell's level increases, it becomes increasingly difficult for him to gain experience points. If it weren't for the support of the entire Bamboo Sea region, Bell wouldn't be able to level up so quickly.

Bell was already very familiar with the process of entering a dormant state to digest experience points.

Since the framework for the construction of the Spirit Hut had already been laid out, it wouldn't take much effort for Bell to continue improving it.

For a while after the upgrade was completed, Bell planned to study the Dream in depth.

After all, the fishing rod had just been unbanned and he hadn't used it much yet, while the new level rewards were already being nurtured in the Mental Hut and would soon be integrated into Bell's body.

"Besides exploring the dream world, I also need to inscribe magic. Now my body can store far more magic than before."

After the upgrade, Bell reached level 20, and his physical and mental strength also increased.

Significant progress has been made.

Bear Grylls

Race: Bamboo Rat (Ancient Behemoth Template)

Level: lv.20 (691/1000)

Health: 245 (+15)

Mental strength:

magic:

Luck: 3 (+1)

Skills: [Information Insight], [Pyrophilic Wisdom], [Living Shadow], [Gluttony]

Classes: [Intermediate Bard], [Advanced Lancer], [Beastmaster], [Advanced Mage], [Advanced Array Master]

Even disregarding the magical enhancement to his physical body, Bell, as a primordial behemoth, possesses a physical strength of 230 points, which is 70 points higher than the average physical strength of humans of the same level.

Among the adventurers Bell had seen, those around level 20 with a physical strength of 180 points were considered strong, while those reaching 200 points were geniuses.

As for Director Wim, whose physical strength reaches 280 points, and Julianne, whose physical strength is as high as 600 points, they cannot be judged in the normal way.

Both of them are in a state of shared life. Vim's 280 points of physical strength are entirely due to his symbiosis with a large number of magical plants. He is a typical pseudo-strongman. If they really fought, he would not be able to defeat an ordinary human adventurer of the same level in a short time.

As for Julianne, she is not a pseudo-strong person as a practical fighter, but her 600 points of physical attributes are typical of someone who is overly powerful. Because she is in a unique symbiotic state, Julianne's physical data and the physical data of the magical beast are counted together.

Putting aside the existence of the Golden Feathered Eagle, from a practical combat perspective, Julianne's physical strength would be around 280 points, which is an extremely terrifying value, belonging to the top tier among humans of the same level.

The level 25 acorn has a physical strength of 290 points, while Julianne is only level 20. Although she is five levels lower, her physical attributes are much higher, even exceeding the normal attributes of the primal behemoth Bell.

"However, I also have the [Big Eater] ability, which can double my physical attributes. After the magic is inscribed, my physical attributes will increase again with the magic's blessing."

Seeing that his normal physical strength had caught up with the top tier of humans of the same level, Bell was quite happy.

Despite the physical attributes being superior, the 300 points of mental attributes remained solid, firmly outperforming the physical attributes.

To this day, Bell still has not seen any being of the same level whose mental attributes can rival his own. Among all the life forms he has investigated, the one with the highest mental attributes is still the Skeleton Clan leader.

After all, the leader of the skeleton race is of a high enough level. As a unique life form that is reborn from the dead, its natural mental strength is high enough.

Even so, the Skeleton Clan leader's mental strength was no match for Bell's current mental strength of 300 points.

Perhaps among the people Bell has met, only a few of his fellow villagers could match Bell's mental strength at the same level, since everyone has the support of the Mental Hut, so their mental strength wouldn't be too far behind.

At a gathering of fellow villagers, Bell heard from several high-level villagers that after reaching a certain level, mental strength becomes extremely important, affecting not only one's own ability system but also subsequent advancement.

Even now, Bell has already sensed the high level of mental strength.

The most direct benefit is that Bell possesses a learning ability and speed far exceeding that of others.

If his mental strength is insufficient, let alone setting up a super-wide-area magic circle, even just deducing a working super-wide-area magic circle would be extremely difficult. Ordinary people might not be able to fully master those basic knowledge even after studying them for decades or hundreds of years.

It was through the process of deducing the ultra-wide-area magic array that Bell successfully integrated the various knowledge absorbed by the [Fire-Loving Wisdom], enabling him to obtain the professional levels of [Advanced Mage] and [Advanced Array Master].

Although Bell's two advanced professions are somewhat lacking compared to those seasoned professionals with solid knowledge and a strong foundation, and his knowledge of magic and magic arrays is limited, his ability to apply knowledge is already at a truly advanced professional level.

There is no doubt about that; one must know one's own situation, and Bell's "information insight" wouldn't lie to oneself.

The combat experience he had gained from the corpses had also boosted Bell's spearman level to a high level, significantly enhancing his melee capabilities.

The only profession that's still stuck at the intermediate level is the bard.

However, the reason this profession is stuck here is due to magical limitations and world recognition. As the profession that Bell first came into contact with and invested a lot of experience in, Bell is not lacking in the professional knowledge of bards.

The bard profession is deeply connected to this world, since the power evoked by songs comes directly from the magic in the environment. A bard's advancement requires showcasing their talent to the world, and inscribing magic is such a process.

"There's no need to rush this. Once I leave the Dreamland, I can immediately begin inscribing the magic. The next poem to be inscribed has already been chosen."

Shifting his focus away from improving his own attributes, Bell looked at his newly expanded mental hut, where the new level rewards were ready to be integrated with him.

In a daze, Bell already sensed the uniqueness of this new ability.
