All-out Horror Survival: My Awakening Skill Point Allocation Sequence!

Looking at the calligraphy brush in my hand.

It is about one foot long.

The brush tip was dark red and carried a bloody smell, as if it had drunk a lot of blood before.

The brush handle appears to be made of some kind of animal bone, as white as jade, and has been used for many years, developing a patina that shines brightly.

Holding the Soul-Pointing Pen in my hand felt like holding a block of ice; the piercing coldness spread throughout my entire arm.

This pen is what Li Longkong uses to add eyes to paper figures, making them come to life.

The effect is very simple: just make the paper figure and add special blood ink, and you can turn the paper into soldiers and bring the paper figure to life.

However, the specifics of how to do it seem quite complicated, and he still needs to study it slowly.

With these two forbidden artifacts, he now possesses three forbidden artifacts.

There's another item, which he enhanced himself with survival points: a forbidden artifact, the Hundred-Year-Old Pig-Slaughtering Knife, number 1688.

Looking at the dark red pig-slaughtering knife in his hand, Zheng Sheng was somewhat surprised.

[Item]: Century-old pig-slaughtering knife

[Quality]: Forbidden Artifact (Blue Level 1)

[Number]: 1687

[Sharpness]: Level 3

Hardness: Level 3

[Skill]: Killing Intent Stacking (Level 1), killing enemies accumulates killing intent and grants enhancements.

Current effect: Constitution +6, Mental Resistance +8

[Cost]: The longer you wield the knife, the more your sanity will be affected, leading to a bloodlust addiction. The wielder needs a strong will to fight against the killing intent. (As the creator of this forbidden artifact, you are exempt from this cost.)

[Description]: A butcher's knife passed down for centuries, stained with blood year after year, bearing countless souls of the dead, its murderous aura and resentment lingering. Influenced by a mysterious force, it has transformed into a forbidden artifact.

……

Looking at the panel of the butcher knife, Zheng Sheng was somewhat surprised.

I don't know if it's because I've killed a lot of monsters with it, but its number ranking has actually increased by one digit, becoming 1687.

Moreover, now, as long as you hold the butcher knife in your hand, your physique will increase by an additional 6 points.

The added 8 points of mental resistance are somewhat special.

Rather than a mental resistance, it made him extremely aroused and murderous, which reduced his fear of the strange.

This is a demonic sword that can grow stronger by killing!

"But they do suit me quite well!"

Zheng Sheng hung the butcher knife on his waist with satisfaction.

Besides the two forbidden artifacts, he also found a book in Li Longkong's clothes: "The Art of Paper Making: Paper Dolls".

The book appears to have been written by Li Longkong himself. It is very thick, filled with dense writing, and occasionally there are traces of blood on the pages, giving it a somewhat dark appearance.

It contains detailed records of the methods for making more than a dozen different paper figures, the materials used, and the special tools required.

Very detailed.

Moreover, this book gave him a somewhat special feeling.

It's like the century-old pig-slaughtering knife Chen Kun gave himself back then, and that corrupt ghost-head knife, which seem to have lost their mortal form for some reason.

It seemed to have become an extraordinary object.

As for how to use it specifically, he plans to study it slowly together with the Soul-Pointing Brush later.

And that's all he gained this time.

……

At last.

Zheng Sheng turned his gaze to the remaining 25600 survival points on the panel, lost in thought.

Putting everything else aside, these survival points must be arranged rationally to maximize efficiency.

First of all.

You must reserve 5000 survival points for the next arm recovery, just in case.

The one-eyed ghost bride is the most terrifying and bizarre creature he has encountered so far, whose abilities even involve time and space.

I absolutely cannot be sucked back into the bridal chamber by the ghost eye, or I will surely die!

Therefore, 5000 points must be reserved for arm recovery.

Second.

You should reserve some survival points to enhance the Demon-Subduing Black Dog Blood and recover from injuries.

This survival challenge has once again proven that using survival points to recover from injuries is simply a divine skill.

Killing the monsters will grant you survival points, which can be used to infinitely heal your injuries.

As long as there are no ghost-level monsters or even stronger nightmare-level monsters.

He's invincible!

Even surrounded by thousands of small ghosts and ghouls, he could still use a pig-slaughtering knife to slaughter until rivers of blood flowed.

You can even earn a lot of survival points.

Therefore, he must reserve some survival points to recover from his injuries and enhance the Demon-Subduing Black Dog Blood.

"At this rate, we'll probably only have half of our usable survival points left."

Zheng Sheng sighed. It felt like survival points were like money – they looked plentiful, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Regarding weaponry.

A century-old butcher knife is more than enough.

He also has an old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun as a ranged weapon, which could be upgraded, but there's no rush for now.

Currently, the gun is only effective against humans and cannot kill the supernatural. He can upgrade it whenever he wants.

In terms of skills.

The basic swordsmanship proved incredibly effective this time. Without the foundational swordsmanship he had honed over 30 years, he would never have been able to fight his way in and out of the monsters seven times.

However, the current basic swordsmanship is sufficient, and there is no need to strengthen it for the time being.

Zheng Sheng lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally decided to choose to strengthen his weaknesses.

He carefully reviewed his experience in the Nightmare Realm and quickly summarized his two shortcomings.

First: Your body's defenses are too weak.

In the banquet hall, when fighting the eerie creatures, some of them are incredibly fast and have astonishing attack power, capable of severely injuring you with a single blow.

He fought until the very end entirely thanks to his 30 years of swordsmanship, the power of the Demon-Subduing Black Dog Blood, and the terrifying recovery speed of his survival stat.

However, this kind of combat has a drawback: it consumes a lot of survival points to recover from injuries, and there are not many survival points left after the battle.

What a waste!

If his physique is strong enough and his defense is strong enough, he can withstand the strange phenomenon head-on and save some survival points.

Therefore, he had to find a way to strengthen his defenses so that he could withstand the unpredictable sneak attacks.

second.

Black dog blood is too inefficient to use.

Black dog blood contains the strongest yang energy when it is fresh, making it most effective at warding off evil spirits.

If left for too long, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, he could only get his blood drawn from Xiao Heizi each time.

If there aren't many strange creatures, it's fine; he can collect some black dog blood in a bottle beforehand and take it out when he needs it.

But if he encountered a situation like last time, he could only hold Little Blackie, killing and slashing at Little Blackie at the same time, using a huge amount of survival points to recover, and blood splattered everywhere, much of which was wasted.

All this blood was earned with survival points.

Therefore, he had to find a way to efficiently utilize the black dog's blood.

For example, like in zombie movies, black dog blood is used to make magical artifacts or props.

"If we can make up for these two shortcomings, we will definitely have more than just this few chances to survive when we encounter groups of monsters in the future."

Zheng Sheng felt that he was on the right track.

One is to enhance one's defense against the bizarre.

With increased defense, survival ability improves, eliminating the need for survival points to heal injuries and saving a significant amount of survival points.

One is to improve the efficiency of black dog blood utilization, so that every time you kill a little black dog, the blood splatters everywhere, which is a waste.

However, he only has a general direction for how to fill the gaps, but no specific ideas yet.

Just right.

I've been studying Survival Highway a lot lately.
