"be mine!"

A ragged gnoll snatched a cloak of fine fabric from another gnoll, held it tightly, and roared in the vulgar common language of the Underdark.

It has the head of a coyote, its green eyes flashing with greed, and its gray-red mane extending from the top of its head to its back. It looks like a large coyote walking upright.

"mine!"

Another jackal with blood on his mouth roared: "I bit off his thigh."

"No, it should be mine!"

The third jackal who was missing an ear felt that he had been ignored. He was so angry that he threw away the half-gnawed bone in his hand and roared dissatisfied: "His head was smashed by me with a stone. I did it."

!”

The gnolls who had unevenly divided the spoils struggled together, roaring and tearing back and forth with their yellow teeth and claws, tearing the cloak into a pile of rags.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, a sword light flashed from the shadow of the cave.

The jackal who was missing his ears suddenly thrust forward, and the pieces of cloth and jewelry he grabbed slipped from his bloody fingertips bit by bit.

It lowered its head with difficulty and looked at a bleeding sharp sword protruding from its chest. With a 'plop', it lay whimpering and lifeless on the ground.

Seeing the death of their companion, the remaining two gnolls were stunned, staring at the hunter who appeared in the darkness in shock and fear.

I saw him raising his head, his black hair hidden under the hood of the magic cloak, and a terrifying smile on his angular face.

The two gnolls screamed in unison, scrambling to escape from the nightmare in front of them.

The hunter in the darkness came and whirled around with his sword.

In the blink of an eye.

The two escaping gnolls became the dead souls under his sword, and the fluorescence of evil life faded from their eyes until they became as cold and dark as stone.

After a clean battle, Brian put his sword into its sheath, shook his head and took off his hood, and began to inspect the small cave.

He saw that the person killed by the gnoll was a drow warrior.

Judging from the badly worn short boots and rusty chain mail shirt, this was probably a wandering elf who was accidentally blocked by three jackals in a small cave and unfortunately lost his life.

Brian waved his hand and unceremoniously took the money and three black jade gems scattered on the ground into his pocket.

Money was never too much for him who was impoverished.

As for gems, demand exceeds supply.

Although these three low-level gems are each worth at most five gold coins, they are the best casting materials for casters to release shadow spells.

After searching for the loot, he piled the four corpses together, chanted a spell in a low voice, and burned them to ashes.

After finishing it, Brian waved his hand and used simple tricks to clean up the garbage, smell and smoke in this hidden and small cave.

Then he took out a piece of gemstone and silver wire from his pocket, and simply arranged a hidden illusion and warning guard at the entrance of the cave.

After everything was prepared, he stretched out his hand with satisfaction, and the entire dark and depressing cave was enveloped in a soft light.

Two days have passed since I left the spider wizard's portal.

Just as he expected, the portal was not as accurate as imagined.

Therefore, based on his memory of the surrounding terrain, he finally arrived at the familiar silk trail on the second day without any danger.

However, he did not immediately explore the ruins of Netheril.

In the distant surface world, wild beasts kill to obtain food and territory in order to survive.

But the monsters that haunt the dark labyrinth of the Underdark are not slaughtered for survival, because survival itself is a kind of hardship for them.

They are driven to kill by a variety of reasons, including madness, hatred, and the evil out-of-control leyline radiation that etches every stone.

They kill, more like because only in killing can they find relief.

It was this atmosphere full of killing and danger that made his two-day adventure not as easy as he imagined.

Therefore, he must find a secret cave to take a good rest.

Because in addition to recovering the spiritual and arcane energy he had consumed through meditation, he also had a more important thing to do.

After all, the ruins of the Netheril era are not something that anyone can easily venture into, so he naturally has to be well prepared.

Thinking of this, Brian immediately sat on a rock, brought up his attribute bar, and started to level up.

"Improve the level of the Psion profession."

"Consumption of 1300 experience points."

"The Psion profession is upgraded to level 2."

"Acquire Domain Abilities: The Creator's Call."

"Psionic points gained: 4 points, additional psionic points: 2 points."

…

"Improve the level of the Psion profession."

"It consumes 3900 experience points."

"The Psion profession is upgraded to level 3."

"Acquire secondary powers: psychic repair, shock wave."

"Psionic points gained: 5 points, additional psionic points: 2 points."

…

"Improve the level of the Psion profession."

"It consumes 7800 experience points."

"The Psion profession has been upgraded to level 4."

"Get 1 free zodiac sign value."

"Gain 1 point of psionic feats."

"Psionic points gained: 6 points, additional psionic points: 2 points."

…

After three consecutive levels of improvement, Brian suddenly felt a surge of life energy spread throughout his body. The stiffness and soreness in his body immediately disappeared without a trace, and his spirit returned to a stable and contented state.

Obviously, every time his level increases, his life energy, also known as HP, will also increase accordingly.

Although he didn't show it with detailed data, he could clearly feel the improvement.

Then, he directly added the extra 1 attribute point he obtained to his intelligence attribute.

This is the main attribute of his War Mage profession and Psion, which determines all aspects of his abilities.

Such precious attribute points are naturally added to the most critical attributes.

With a little improvement in his attributes, his intelligence attribute successfully reached the critical point of 20 points.

The 19-point and 20-point intelligence attributes will be a qualitative breakthrough for him.

Because for a spellcaster, every time his main attribute increases by 2 points, his spell slots and spell damage will be additionally increased.

Just like it is now.

The moment when the intelligence attribute increases to 20 points.

His extra spiritual energy value is increased by 2 points, the War Mage profession gains an additional first-level spell slot, and the arcane energy of his Arcane Fire is also increased by 7 points.

Of course, all of his own magic and psychic damage will also be significantly improved when released.

Brian sets his sights on a newly acquired property in the creative realm.

Call of the Creator: When a psion who is proficient in the creation system concentrates on displaying the power of the creation system, the duration of the power will be increased by 30%, and his own psicrystal servants and astral constructs will gain an additional special ability.

Psicrystal Servants and Astral Constructs.

This is the most representative ectoplasmic superpower construct for a creative psion.

Brian thought, and a dark blue crystal the size of a fist appeared in his hand.

Although due to time constraints, he was unable to spend a lot of time extracting the same amount of materials for making the astral construct from the astral realm, but the astral crystals used to make the spiritual crystal servants were not much needed, and now he has collected them. together.
