Chapter 21: Survivors
Han Kexin was overjoyed and said, “Then what are you waiting for? Quickly master the skill to shoot those flames in midair.”
Xiao Yu shook his head and said: “Owning a crystal of inheritance does not mean you can obtain the inherited skill for sure. In fact, many inherited memories and powers will inevitably be lost in the process of fusing. The more missing elements there are, the more incomplete the attained power is, and the skill’s authenticity and growth potential will decline drastically. When the individual’s level is too low, the fusion will fail, and a valuable crystal will be lost. Sometimes this will even bring unexpected dangers to the inheritor, so for that, we must be fully prepared before mastering the skill.”
“I see.” Han Kexin nodded slightly.
As the fire became more and more intense, Xiao Yu and Han Kexin tucked the crystal and blast flame ring away and left the goblin settlement. They returned just in time to witness Jin Shi smashing a goblin into a meat paste with his massive, stony arm. At the same time, Wang Chao’s obese body flashed past like a ghost, and his huge arms grabbed the body of another goblin. His eyes glowed scarlet, and he let out a beast-like roar. The monster was torn in half, and green blood and various organs were spilled all over the ground.
Xiao Yu’s eyes lit up, “Both Jin Shi and Wang Chao have evolved, and they seem to have gained very good and rare innate skills.”
With The death of the last goblin, Jin Shi, Wang Chao, and Jiang Xiaowen all breathed a sigh of relief. Jin shi’s rocky right arm gradually shrank and smoothed, finally becoming normal in proportion and size, and the fierce beast-like light in Wang Chao’s eyes gradually dissipated, and his red skin gradually faded, returning to its original color. However, even though the two of them removed their innate skills, Jin shi’s height and baldness stayed the same, and his explosive muscles and their smooth texture set him apart from the rest of the people. As for Wang Chao, his skin still maintained a slight red tint even after deactivating his skill, which was very different from normal humans and could be recognized with a closer look.
Jiang Xiaowen was the first to see the two individuals emerging from the goblin settlement. She swiftly waved her huge butterfly wings in delight. Light flowed between the translucent wings’ flaps, which were crystal clear and exceedingly beautiful. However, Jiang Xiaowen was too weak to fly at the moment. She fluttered her wings twice, transforming them into rays of light that were absorbed into her body.
Almost the whole goblin village was wiped out as a result of this battle. Only five people were killed on the human side, while the rest had some minor injuries. Nonetheless, their harvest was huge. Each individual had at least slain five to six goblin peons among this group of people, and their overall strength has achieved a qualitative leap. Due to this battle, they have fully turned into qualified warriors.
However, Han Kexin, Jiang Xiaowen, Jin Shi, and Wang Chao benefited the most. Not only did they successfully advance to the elementary level, but they also gained unique and rare innate skills. Needless to say, Han Kexin’s “Blood Sacrifice” skill was the rarest among them; the value of this ability alone was indispensable to their group. As for the other three people, their abilities were different but were not in any way inferior.
