Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 44 Heaven-Defying Passive Skill

[Sacrificeable item detected: Sand Pit Giant Worm (corpse) *2. Do you wish to sacrifice it?]

tsk...

Jiang Lan clicked her tongue, somewhat disappointed.

The system can't count; there are clearly more than twenty of them.

Jiang Lan was heartbroken that she hadn't been able to exploit the bug.

Sacrifice!

Although it's highly likely to be two Body Tempering Pills, even a mosquito's leg is still meat, so we can't just not offer them up, can we?

As Jiang Lan thought to himself, the pile of sandworm corpses in front of him slowly faded and eventually disappeared completely into the air.

[Sacrifice successful. Host receives 2 Body Tempering Pills (Sandpit Giant Insect) and the passive skill "Regeneration".]

what?

what?

"what?"

Upon hearing the system notification, Jiang Lan exclaimed in surprise, then stood frozen in place.

What the hell is this?

Is this regeneration the regeneration he envisioned?

Dead and resurrected?

Is this even possible?

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Jiang Lan quickly realized what was happening.

The regeneration the system talks about is probably not the same thing he understands.

After all, although the two sandworms could still attack after being cut in half, they were no longer dead after being cut into more than a dozen pieces.

Therefore, Jiang Lan guessed that this regeneration was probably equivalent to accelerated healing, or like a gecko losing its tail.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan opened his system backpack and took out a sharp dagger about twenty centimeters long.

He had taken this dagger from Zhuge Tao earlier.

Although he can now merge with the Golden Feather Halberd, the halberd is still a large weapon that is two meters long. It can kill monsters one by one, but it is not so convenient for doing delicate work, such as skinning or cutting up monster body parts.

In a moment of impulsiveness, Jiang Lan grabbed the dagger and, with a little force, slashed her arm.

Despite the steel plate, Jiang Lan's strength was too great, and the dagger was also made of special materials, so it easily broke through the steel plate's defense, leaving a scratch about five millimeters deep on Jiang Lan's arm.

Blood seeped from the wound, and Jiang Lan grimaced in pain.

He already regretted it a little when he first started paddling.

Who would be so kind as to cut themselves with a knife?

But Jiang Lan's ferocious expression only lasted for less than five seconds before freezing on his face.

"Um?"

It hurt quite a bit just now, but I don't feel anything at all now?

Jiang Lan sheathed the dagger and tentatively wiped away the bloodstains on her arm.

Only then did he realize that the wound had completely healed without leaving a trace.

If it weren't for the remaining bloodstains, Jiang Lan would have thought that the wound was just his imagination.

He wiped away the remaining blood with his hand, and only then did he fully confirm that the wound had indeed completely healed.

Jiang Lan's eyes widened.

That speed?

A five-millimeter wound would normally take four or five days to fully heal, and even if it did, it would most likely leave a scar.

But how long has it been?

Five seconds!

Although it wasn't as outrageous as his initial idea of ​​resurrection, this recovery speed was still nothing short of miraculous.

good good!

Jiang Lan was overjoyed.

I originally thought that only by sacrificing powerful monsters could I obtain secret manuals and weapons.

However, it now seems that the Body Tempering Pill is just a guaranteed reward. As for other rewards, although they are linked to the level of the monster sacrificed, there is also a chance of them dropping.

Just like those two sandworms, which were merely beast soldiers, they still gave him such an incredible passive skill.

Having figured this out, Jiang Lan's already anxious mood became even more impatient.

If they actually created a reward like rebirth, wouldn't people just step on their own feet and ascend to heaven on the spot?

Just as Jiang Lan was overjoyed, a large dark shadow suddenly appeared above his head.

He looked up at the sky and was startled.

In the sky, hundreds of bird-like monsters were flying about.

Among these monsters, even the smallest one has a wingspan of nearly three meters. When hundreds of them fly together, they create a scene that seems to blot out the sky.

Jiang Lan had decent eyesight and immediately spotted a huge monster with a wingspan of nearly six meters among the flock of birds.

Judging from its size and the other monsters following it, he roughly estimated that the monster's strength was around that of a high-level beast general.

Jiang Lan clicked her tongue in amazement. This City 003 really was teeming with advanced monsters.

Before they even entered the city, they encountered a herd of beasts led by a high-ranking beast general.

The flock of bird monsters seemed oblivious to Jiang Lan as they continued to fly away into the distance.

Jiang Lan did not try to stop her.

Even with his strength, it would probably be difficult for him to defeat this horde of beasts.

There's not much to say about combat strength; he's completely capable of crushing them.

But the key issue is that those birds can fly, while Jiang Lan cannot.

In this world, martial artists are divided into two types: warriors and spirit masters.

Before becoming a martial artist surpassing the level of a war god, only mental cultivators are capable of flight.

But clearly, Jiang Lan is not.

However, he didn't dwell too much on the issue of mentalists.

Although mentalists seem powerful, they only have a significant advantage over martial artists in the early stages.

Once you reach the level of a Domain Lord or even a World Lord above the Universe level, the advantage is not so obvious.

Even after reaching the legendary immortal level, they were not as good as warriors of the same level.

Watching the flock of birds fly away, Jiang Lan shook his head and continued walking towards City 003.

However, this time, he was much slower than before.

The outskirts of the city were not as safe as he had initially thought.

So it's always good to be careful.

……

Two hours later.

Jiang Lan stood on the thirtieth floor of a residential building, silently looking down.

At this moment, he was in a residential community called Oasis Heart.

The residential area is located on the outskirts of the city, basically in the suburbs.

Even so, Jiang Lan could spot at least three beast generals leading their respective herds with a casual glance.

However, these herds of beasts all have one thing in common: they consist of only a few monsters.

The smallest group, apart from the leading beast general, was only accompanied by two beast soldier-level monsters.

Jiang Lan was not surprised by this.

Because Zhuge Tao had already given him a brief introduction before he arrived.

In this city, beast generals roam everywhere, meaning that the ratio of beast soldiers to beast generals is not as outrageous as in other places.

In addition, there are many lord-level monsters here. Even the small fry will definitely choose the strongest as their leader.

This has led to a situation.

Those are lone beast generals, who usually can't lead a large group. Even for high-level beast generals, they can only manage a few dozen or a hundred at most.

Lord-level monsters are often surrounded by tens of thousands of other monsters!
