Wang Tong's Late-Night Visit

After level 10, you will gain 50 points of all attributes for each level you gain.

You can also get an additional 50 free attribute points.

Level 1 benefits you get 100 points of allocable attributes.

It's five times that of level 10.

In addition, he went on a rampage, slaughtering the Dark Ink Spiders in the middle of the mine.

The accumulated attribute bonuses from the Black Sword have brought his three main attributes close to the 2,000 mark.

My level has also soared to level 15.

Even Yin Xue was astonished by this rocket-like speed of advancement.

However, Lin Mo discovered that after reaching level 15, the experience points gained from killing Dark Ink Spiders suddenly decreased.

According to Yin Xue, his level was lower than the target's, which was considered a kill beyond his level, and he received an extra experience bonus.

Now, he is level 15, and his goal is also level 15, so the bonus has disappeared.

If his level is higher, his experience gain will be further reduced significantly, or even completely eliminated.

Lin Mo calculated that if he continued to stay in the middle-level mine to level up...

Even without considering whether the number of spiders is sufficient, based on the current decline trend...

Reaching level 20 will likely take at least a week or even longer.

A week?

He can't wait.

My mom's time is measured in days.

Deeper into the forest outside the city.

His next target is a higher-level, more dangerous area.

This was one of the reasons he left the mine.

Suppressing these thoughts for the time being, Lin Mo suddenly remembered another important matter.

He took out the essence of the Cyclops King's Demon Eye from his waist.

Lin Mo looked at the blood clots resting on his knee: "You said before that spider egg could devour the essence of the Beast King to enhance its potential?"

"Ah! Right, right! I almost forgot about this little darling!"

Yin Xue slapped his head, his face showing a mixture of realization and excitement.

With a wave of her small hand, a thin mist of blood seeped from her fingertips.

Immediately afterwards, the spider egg appeared from the blood mist.

Yin Xue flew to the spider eggs and patted the eggshells with her little hands.

He said to Lin Mo, "Raising a monster with the bloodline of a Beast King is a very delicate matter!"

"nourish?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow; he had never imagined that demons could be bred.

Seeing Lin Mo's puzzled expression, Yin Xue became more serious.

He explained, "Finding a reliable, completely obedient teammate is difficult, but raising a partner from a young age is much more reliable! It hasn't hatched yet and its intelligence hasn't developed, so it's the perfect time to establish a master-servant relationship."

As Lin Mo gazed at the quietly floating egg, images of the Dark Ink Spider King wreaking havoc on the battlefield came to mind.

This might be a decent fighting force.

Thinking this, he asked, "How exactly should we do it?"

"Simple!"

Yin Xue snapped his fingers: "First, establish the most fundamental soul contract, make it recognize you as its master, from then on your fates will be intertwined, experience points will be shared, and your will will be its highest command."

As she spoke, Yin Xue's petite figure twirled gracefully in the air, her hands moving rapidly.

Dark red magic threads flowed from her fingertips.

A complex and exquisite miniature magic circle was drawn in the air.

The center of the magic circle was aligned with the spider egg, while two seemingly real but actually illusory dark red chains extended from its edges.

"go!"

Yin Xue let out a low shout.

A chain shot out and coiled around the spider egg like a serpent.

A faint dark red line was left on its surface.

Meanwhile, another chain shot towards Lin Mo's forehead like lightning.

Lin Mo did not dodge.

The moment the chains touched the skin, a familiar vibration came through.

It felt similar to when I was bound to Yin Xue's soul fragments, but this time it was simpler.

He calmed his mind, actively guided his consciousness, and accepted the connection.

The whole process lasted about ten seconds.

With a wave of her small hand, Yin Xue silently dissipated the dark red magic circle and chains.

Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes and touched his brow.

Yin Xue leaned closer: "How are you feeling?"

Lin Mo shook his head: "I think I can sense the presence of the little spider inside the spider egg."

Yin Xue nodded in satisfaction, a smile spreading across her little face: "Done! The contract is established. Once this little guy hatches, you'll be its sole master. This is a million times more reliable than those monsters subdued by force!"

As she spoke, she pointed to the essence of the Cyclops King's demonic eye in Lin Mo's hand.

"Now, it's time to prepare a nutritious feast for it. Crush this essence, control the energy escaping from it, and inject it into the spider egg."

"These energies will not directly increase its level at birth, but will solidify its foundation and expand its bloodline potential."

"Simply put, the purer and larger the Beast King's energy absorbed, the faster it will grow and the higher its skill comprehension will be after birth. It may even exceed the upper limit of its racial value and mutate."

Lin Mo understood.

The principle is not complicated; it's like providing innate nourishment to an unborn fetus, laying its foundation.

Without further hesitation, he grasped the black demon eye with his right hand, his five fingers exerting a slight force.

Click.

Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the eyeball, which was as hard as obsidian.

Immediately afterwards, a violent surge of energy erupted forth!

Lin Mo was caught off guard and became somewhat flustered.

However, his high spirit attribute of 1933 points immediately came into play.

The powerful will, like an invisible giant hand, instantly enveloped the raging energy that was trying to wreak havoc.

Forcibly binding it in the palm of your hand.

Then, following Yin Xue's instructions...

Carefully, it separates gentle streams of energy and directs them into the spider egg.

The spider eggs seemed to sense something.

The moment the first wisp of dark red energy touched the eggshell, it was immediately absorbed.

Like parched land drinking sweet rain.

Lin Mo was fully focused, maintaining a steady output.

This process was more mentally taxing than I had imagined.

It is not only necessary to control the speed and temperature of energy output.

It is also necessary to suppress the violent aura within the essence to prevent it from impacting the life within the spider eggs.

Time passed second by second.

The only sound in the room was the faint hum of energy flowing.

Yin Xue sat leisurely to the side, swinging her legs and watching with great interest.

For her, this level of energy manipulation was just a small matter.

But Lin Mo's mental control, which far exceeded his level, still made her nod in approval.

"This guy really has some talent. I don't think anyone has ever taught him how to channel energy before."

Yin Xue murmured.

About half an hour later, the last wisp of dark red energy completely disappeared into the spider egg.

The essence of the Demon Eye that was originally radiating light in Lin Mo's palm.

It has now turned into a handful of dull gray powder.

Looking at the spider eggs again, their appearance hasn't changed much.

But the overall black color became deeper and more restrained.

The life force emanating from inside the eggshell was even more vigorous, carrying a sense of weight and power.

Through the soul connection, Lin Mo could clearly feel that the consciousness's closeness and dependence on him had deepened.

It even conveyed a vague sense of satisfaction and joy.

A strange sense of anticipation quietly grew in Lin Mo's heart.

What will it grow into in the future?

Seeing that Lin Mo had finished everything, Yin Xue stretched and said, "Alright, go to sleep early. Tomorrow I'll take you to a deeper part of the forest to level up."

She then collected the spider eggs and lay down on the bed.

Lin Mo also felt a little sleepy after hearing what she said.

It's been a whole day since I was summoned here, and I haven't had much rest.

He took out his mother's medical report from a hidden compartment in his clothes, looked at it again, and murmured, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll definitely go back as soon as possible."

……

It was completely dark outside.

Around 4 a.m., a knocking sound suddenly rang out on the door.

Lin Mo immediately woke up, and the black sword in his hand was already drawn.

Yin Xue rubbed his eyes and sat up in bed, his expression somewhat angry.

She was about to unleash a torrent of curses when Lin Mo stopped her from speaking.

Lin Mo uttered a single word in a deep voice: "Who?"

A familiar voice came from outside the door: "It's me... Wang Tong, Brother Lin Mo, I... I've come to apologize to you."
