Chapter 196 The Mystery of Fate and the System

The night passed quickly, and when the sky was just dawn, Apodell was the first to open his eyes. He suddenly found that the muscles on his arms had grown thicker, and his chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and thigh muscles had all become extremely developed.

"My God! I'm not dreaming now, am I?" He pinched himself hard. "Damn it! It hurts. This is not a dream, it's real! Imon, Jaheira, Henry, wake up and see what's wrong with me."

"Bastard! Can't you be quieter? It's not yet dawn, you're here to make people dream, be careful I'll kick your ass." Aimon got up sleepily and kicked Apodel.

Since the voices of the two people were a bit loud, everyone soon opened their eyes. Apodel was shirtless, and his steel-cast muscles quickly attracted all eyes. With a serious expression, Jasila walked over and poked it with his fingers, and found that the hardness was beyond imagination, almost comparable to ordinary rocks.

She looked up into Apodell's eyes and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable now, or have any uncontrollable urges?"

"There is no discomfort, and I feel that my strength has doubled. Speaking of impulsiveness, I suddenly feel very hungry. Is there anything I can eat?"

Henry secretly sighed that the surname is really a terrible thing. In just a few days, a fledgling rookie has turned into a fighter with great potential. At this rate, it may take less than two years for Apodell to advance to Legend. You don't need to look to know that there must be a lot of energy in these muscles. In the future, you can safely let him charge forward, because it is impossible for ordinary weapons to cause fatal injuries.

It didn't take long for a big steaming pot of porridge to be cooked. The hungry Apodel drank most of the pot by himself, then patted his belly with satisfaction and began to put on the armor again.

Jasila came to Henry and asked in a low voice, "Do you know something? I don't see any surprise on your face just now."

"I think Apodel's bloodline is probably no longer a secret. As a son of God, isn't it normal for him to awaken some extraordinary abilities?" Henry said as he took out a "History of the Three Gods of Death". "The wise man Alando's prophecy is becoming a reality. Baal's throne has been suspended for too long, and it won't be long before these descendants who remain in the mortal world will start killing each other, and the best of them will inherit the throne of the Murder King."

Jaheira was taken aback by what he had just said. She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't find anyone paying attention. "Since you already know the whole thing, why do you want to get involved? Tell me, what is the ulterior purpose?"

Henry didn't answer the question directly. He pointed to Apodel who was joking with several other teammates. "Don't you think he is the one chosen by fate?"

Jassie opened his mouth in surprise. "You mean that Apodel will become the new God of Slaughter?! This is simply a joke! I only hope that he can live in peace and not be used by those with ulterior motives."

"No one can prevent the fate from coming. What will happen in the future is all up to him to choose. Maybe you will become one of the important factors affecting the choice, and I just want to make a dangerous investment." After speaking, Henry handed the book to Jasila. "Find an opportunity to give this book to Aberdell, he is now qualified to know part of the truth."

Jasila silently took the book and stuffed it into his backpack. The content of the conversation just now made her a little overwhelmed, after all, there are too many things involved here. After tidying up briefly, everyone left the fortress that had turned into a dead city. Along the way they came, they soon came near the waterfall of Yunwu Peak.

The lake water on the top of the mountain flew down hundreds of feet, making a deafening sound. While everyone was admiring the beautiful scenery, suddenly a white winter wolf jumped out from behind the tree and bit Apodel's leg.

"Ah! Damn beast! I'm going to break your neck!" Apodel roared angrily, and directly grabbed the winter wolf's neck with both hands. Every muscle in his body tensed, and a minute later the sly beast let go. It shook its body desperately, trying to take a breath, but Apodell's hands were like iron clamps, getting tighter and tighter.

The winter wolf desperately opened its mouth. Seeing this action, Henry immediately reminded loudly: "Get out of the way! It's going to be sprayed with ice!"

Apodell's thumb suddenly exerted strength, and he pushed the wolf's head down to the ground. The winter wolf's breath sprayed all over the grass, and a large piece of green grass was instantly frozen. Minsk reacted and immediately ran over to help. He waved his fists and beat the winter wolf's head non-stop. After more than a dozen punches, the lifeless beast died.

Henry walked over and lifted his trouser legs to check the wound, and found that the wound was not as serious as imagined. Only the two sharpest canine teeth bite deeply, and the others are basically skin trauma. After casting a healing spell, he patted Apodel's shoulder. "Fortunately, no bones were injured at all. It seems that your muscles can be used as armor."

"Thank you. It seems that the owner of the grocer at Nasikai is right. There are really winter wolves here. Peel off its skin. You can sell it for a good price when you bring it back." As he spoke, Apodel took out a dagger from his waist.

With Minsk's help, an intact winter wolf hide was stripped from head to toe. Simply wash off in the water of the waterfall, then roll it up and put it in your backpack. Everyone discussed and decided to take a rest here, and soon they lit a bonfire on the spot. Henry and Imen caught some fish in the pool under the waterfall, and the Jasiras were responsible for roasting them.

While everyone was enjoying their leisure lunch break, a beautiful woman in leaves came over. She bowed to Henry and Jasila and said anxiously: "Dear guardians of nature, two people are planning to cut down my tree. Please help me, they are not far ahead."

"What a bunch of bastards! I want to see who rushes here to hurt a kind and beautiful natural elf!" Jasila stood up immediately angrily.

Henry glanced at the poor dryad and stood up. "I'll be with you. It is a druid's duty to protect dryads and trees."

Led by the dryad, the group soon came to the huge oak tree. It was obvious that the two guys who wanted to chop down trees had mental problems. After a simple communication, they directly waved their logging axes and launched an attack. Henry didn't even use spells, and smashed two mentally retarded heads with a swing of his cane.

The dryad smiled and bowed to the crowd when he saw that the logger was dead. "Thank you very much! Here is a potion that I hope can help you." After she finished speaking, she put down a bottle of potion and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Today we protected an ancient oak tree and a beautiful spirit of nature. This is a good thing. I can feel the joy of this forest." Jahira closed her eyes and felt the feedback of nature. Abundant natural energy entered her body, and soon the druid's level was raised.

Henry also received natural gifts, and all of these natural energies were automatically converted into verification values ​​by the system. After all the energy was absorbed, not only did he gain 650 mission experience points, but he also gained about 20,000 transformation experience points. He now feels as if he understands what the system's so-called experience is.

Roughly speaking, there are three types. The first is experience gained by killing people or monsters. The system will absorb all these vitality and express it in the form of experience value. The second is the experience gained from missions, which can actually be called the power of change or the power of influence. By intervening in the direction of the world through behavior, the more changes you get, the greater the rewards. The same process is more dangerous.

Just like the three missions I accepted before, the commissions to save Helast Black Robe, guard Sundabar, and Winter Wolf. The scope of influence of these tasks is very large, so the rewards are also very generous, each with 200,000 experience points. But since the beginning of the plot, the rewards of the missions have shrunk significantly. This is because the degree of change is too small, and the task itself is not difficult.

The last one is the natural feedback just now. It can be said that the system absorbs and stores the purest natural energy. According to the same principle, I can try to absorb the elemental pool in the mage tower. If the deduction is correct, it won't take long for him to become a legendary mage.

After completing the druid promotion, Jasila walked up to Henry and patted him. "Hey! The natural feedback is over. I know it feels good, but you've been in a daze for too long."

"Sorry! I just suddenly thought of something and got a little distracted. After the iron ore crisis in Nasika is resolved, I'm afraid I'll have to leave for a few days to go to High Fort."

When Apodell heard that Henry was leaving, he immediately ran over and asked, "Is there anything urgent? Do you need us to help?"

Henry suppressed his excited nerves and shook his head with a smile. "I suddenly had a new idea. I wanted to go to the Mage Tower to do an experiment. High Ridge Castle's Grandmaster Tyrantyr used to be my mentor, so it would be the most suitable place to go. Don't worry, it will only take a few days, and at most it will not exceed a week. You can rest in Belgost for a few days, and inquire about the Cold-Blooded Gang and the Black Claw Mercenary Group by the way."

Apodell nodded when he heard that he was only away for a few days. "Okay. It just so happens that the continuous fighting these days has made everyone a little tired. After dealing with this matter, take a good rest for a few days. As for the investigation of the robbers, we will dig out the clues before you come back." (To be continued.)
