One by one, the seemingly conscious half-ape centaur realized that he could not break the protective barrier. Immediately after, he circled around the protective barrier. This was his usual hunting method, it was to be patient and to directly crush the prey!
This was the first time since Lin Xuan had such a strong premonition of death when facing a yellow-ranked wild monster. If this was in the past, he would’ve never thought about the dangers.
The shelter card could guarantee Lin Xuan’s safety for three days, but after three days, he had to gain a certain amount of mobility. Before he recovered to a certain level of combat power, he had to mainly hide.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan suddenly realized that he did not seem to have a concealment skill.
This was truly a pity that he did not have enough time to use it!
In fact, even if Lin Xuan had learned a concealment skill, he would not use it often. But once he needed to use it, it would be at a time when he needed to save his life!
Moreover, in this battle with the earth-tier demon, Lin Xuan himself discovered many problems.
The first problem was his physical fitness. The software exceeded the requirements of the hardware. His internal organs, skin, tendons, and meridians. Although his overall strengthening level was far higher than that of other experts of the same level, when compared to the buffs of his various abilities.., the strength that he could unleash at full strength had definitely exceeded the limits of his current physical fitness!
The second problem was his lack of mental strength. Based on Lin Xuan’s current situation where he possessed boundless physical strength, he should be most skilled in tug-of-war battles. During his battle with the warhammer tyrannosaurus, one could see that he indeed had very strong tug-of-war abilities. However, his explosive power was limited by one’s own physical qualities, and the other was the limitation of his mental strength.
Lin Xuan’s basic fist techniques had already been cultivated to the maximum level. He was very clear that fist strength did not only rely on physical strength alone. There were also all sorts of insights, such as the supreme attribute, the soul of the celestial phenomenon, the aura of the vast desert universe, and so on, and these were all variations of mental strength.
In short, the most powerful burst of fist power relied on the integration of innate energy!
If Lin Xuan wanted to improve his strength further, he would probably have to make up for the shortcomings of mental strength. Moreover, mental strength was not only needed for fighting, but more importantly, it had a significant effect on the elemental attributes.
Wind elements, flame elements, and light elements had a high innate affinity because of the augmentation of magic patterns and bloodlines. If he could strengthen mental strength, even if he could not unleash the powerful elemental lethality of an elemental mage, it would also be very beneficial for him to comprehend elemental mastery.
Lastly, there were other methods to improve himself such as scouting, hiding, creating a doppelganger, divination, curses, and many more!
Once Lin Xuan made up for his current three shortcomings, his strength would definitely improve. At the very least, he would be able to defeat the warhammer tyrannosaurus more easily. Then, he would not need to dodge when facing the half-ape centaur as well.
Squinting, Lin Xuan looked at the vines surrounding the shelter. He couldn’t see clearly. It was already pitch black in the shelter area. The dense vines wrapped around the shelter tightly, light couldn’t penetrate it at all.
Feeling the recovery of his body, the dragon and giant bloodlines woke up one after another. His recovery ability was effectively guided. The dark iron body, one of the three talents, also began to play a role.
Lin Xuan had improved a lot in the past two months, and there were indeed some problems with his control of power. It was a good opportunity to take advantage of this time to restore his body to completely grasp his own power!
However, Lin Xuan had already fallen asleep. He had used up too much of his energy before for the fights, and his mind was exhausted. He urgently needed to rest.
For a moment, the entire dungeon fell into silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xuan woke up groggily. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes and realized that his arm had been repaired. His lower body had also been repaired. Of course, this was only to the point where he could move. As for fighting, it was still too early to tell if he could!
However, after rubbing his eyes, the darkness in front of him did not disappear. Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment before he finally reacted. Dungeon, shelter, living vine.
Although he did not know how long he had slept, through the remaining time in the shelter, he could sense that there were only one and a half days left in the three days he could use.
It was not that Lin Xuan had slept for a day and a half, but the pressure from the vine outside was too great. It was constantly squeezing and twining, causing the energy in the shelter to drain rapidly. Originally, it could last for three days, but now it looked like it could only last for another day or even half a day.
When there was no rank suppression between the two, Lin Xuan’s killing skill, instant death, could be used again. He did not look like he was going to live for long, but with the many unlocked skills, Lin Xuan might have a chance against same-rank monsters.
In just half a day, his bones were completely healed!
In another half a day, his flesh and blood were completely healed.
At this time, the light screen of the shelter disappeared. Countless vines sensed the disappearance of the defensive power and rushed toward Lin Xuan.
A semicircle formed by vines collapsed at this moment. Dust flew everywhere, blocking everyone’s vision.
After a long while, Lin Xuan took out an iron rod that he had removed from the tent and slowly walked out. Behind him, countless ferocious-looking vines that were black, red, and green turned into ashes.
The terrifying power of the healing rules was reflected in Lin Xuan’s skill. This was much stronger than the vitality that was converted from endless physical strength. Strictly speaking, vitality was not specialized healing power.
Wave after wave of the power of the healing rules washed through Lin Xuan’s entire body. The injuries that he had suffered previously were recovering at a jaw-dropping speed. His internal organs, skin, flesh, bones, and tendons were also strengthening!
Previously, his body had been frightened by the earth-rank demon king, and his internal body had been shattered beyond recognition. However, after breaking through mountains and rivers and rebuilding, he now felt brand new!
Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes. Countless vines and branches flew toward him, but he did not panic at all. He waved the iron rod in his hand and countless green wind blades appeared along the bright yellow threads, easily cutting off these vines.
Many of the vines that had not been attacked suddenly stiffened and fell down weakly. They were one.
It seemed that the instant death effect had been triggered!
Glancing at the vines, he felt the impact of the powerful healing power. At this moment, his internal organs, blood vessels, and veins had been greatly strengthened yet again.
The healing was still continuing, and the strengthening was not over yet. Now, however, he was ready!
