Chapter 9 The Origin of the Tenth Generation
Monster world, Imperial Tomb Mountains.
Ancient battlefield.
A skeleton with ink-colored flames all over its body was wandering aimlessly. Near it were piles of debris and broken weapons.
"If you want to become a powerful hunter, you must first learn to hide yourself and look for sneak attack opportunities."
"Then lock the target, prepare for attack, move as fast as the wind, and kill with one blow... Ouch!"
Following Li Zheng's cry in the regional voice channel, players lying on the ground pretending to be dead jumped up one after another, twisted their bodies in the air, switched to monster form, and pounced on the original monster "Bone Fire".
At this time, Li Zheng and others have all reached level 5. Their physical strength has more than doubled than at the beginning, and their size has also grown significantly.
This is their third encounter with Bone Fire.
The first two contacts were defeated without any suspense, which aroused Li Zheng and others' desire to win.
The most important thing is that during these two days of experience, they discovered a special mechanism in the game.
This special mechanism can help them kill monsters beyond levels.
There is no monster rollback setting in this game!
The so-called monster rollback setting refers to a common mechanism in other games. When the player leaves a certain range when fighting a monster, the monster will automatically return to the territory and restore its full health, eliminating all negative states imposed by the player.
But this game has no such setting.
All damage done to monsters by the player will be retained.
For example, the bite marks left in their previous battle with Bone Fire would not disappear due to their death. When they fought against Bone Fire again, they found that the bite marks were still on Bone Fire.
This gives them the possibility to defeat high-level monsters through blood grinding.
Even if it can only cause 1% damage each time, the monster can be killed after fighting a hundred times.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the monster's self-healing ability is slow.
When encountering monsters with strong self-healing abilities, blood-grinding tactics are meaningless, but when faced with bone fire that has no healing ability, this tactic is completely feasible.
Compared with the first encounter, Bone Fire's body at this time was covered with various bite marks from sharp teeth, especially his left leg, which was almost broken.
These are all injuries caused by their blood-grinding tactics.
In this attack, Li Zheng and other players continued to attack Gu Huo's left leg.
After coming into contact with the bone fire, their monster bodies were ignited by ink flames. They endured the burning pain and wrapped themselves around the bone fire, biting its left leg that was about to fall apart.
Not long after, the leg bones, which were already full of cracks, were finally overwhelmed and dismembered, and the body tilted and fell to the ground.
Chi Tu and other players who were still watching on the sidelines decisively rushed forward and joined the battle.
The winding bite of the black-armored snake, the frontal punch in the form of a gargoyle, the beak attack in the form of an eagle-headed demon... The bone fire was exhausted under the repeated attacks, and finally could no longer hold up, and the ink-colored crystal in the head exploded, surrounding The ink-colored flames around him were extinguished.
The black mist emerging from Gu Huo's body dispersed into ten parts in the air, floating towards Li Zheng and others.
After their bodies came into contact with the black mist, energy seeped into their bodies, and a scarlet stream of light suddenly swept across their bodies.
Surging energy surged within their bodies, causing their bodies to grow rapidly.
The ink-colored flames still burning on his body also dissipated.
The physical reshaping brought about by level up has restored them to their peak condition.
At this time, a cloud of thick smoke appeared on the dead Bone Fire again, and a reduced version of the outline of the Bone Fire could be seen looming in the billowing black smoke.
The nearest guidance water ball suddenly opened its mouth at this moment, and the life soul of Bone Fire was immediately sucked into the mouth. It was instantly transported to the fourth grid of the containment wall, where it re-condensed into Bone Fire.
At this time, a light blue energy hose protruded from the top of the grid, connected to the imprisoned Bonefire Skull, and began to continuously extract sacrificial power benefits.
At the same time, prompts sounded in the minds of Li Zheng and other players one after another:
[Challenger Tips: Take in the first generation of Origin Monster Bone Fire and complete the Origin Hunting mission. 】
Task reward 1: All participants receive a sacrifice reward of 1,000 points (the amount of the reward is affected by the number of participants)
Mission Reward 2: All participants receive the permission to open the second life soul slot for free.
“It’s great, I finally won it!”
"Hahaha, brothers, this feels great, long-lost happiness."
"The gain of 1,000 sacrificial power is much faster than killing the cursed soldiers!" After cheering, Li Zheng turned to look at the guidance water ball floating beside him and asked curiously:
"Guide, how much sacrificial energy does it cost to open the second life soul slot normally?"
[Opening the second life soul slot requires 500 sacrificial points. 】
"Then can we inlay the second life soul?"
[Yes, there is a star vein inlay function on the function panel. You can now inlay the life soul of the second monster and activate the second monster form. 】
Following the instructions, Li Zheng called up the function panel.
There are seven options on it, namely map, space package, character details, star pulse enhancement, item mall, resource sacrifice, and system settings.
Clicking on the star pulse function, the inner body scene appeared in Li Zheng's mind.
The spine is as bright as the Milky Way in the inner view. The top is his human form, and the first groove below is inlaid with the black-armored snake life soul.
On the right is the control panel with detailed star pulse information.

【Challenger: Game Brick Party】

……
There is a "Purchase Life Soul" option on the right side of the Star Pulse attribute panel.
After the consciousness is struck, the screen jumps to the Monster Soul Mall.
Presented in front of Li Zheng were four mosaic options.
1. Petrification (gargoyle form: the beginning of a generation):
Monster characteristics: After using the ability, the body enters an immobile petrified state, greatly reducing any form of damage (the specific effect is affected by physical fitness).
Purchase cost: 1000 sacrificial power.
2. Yin of Resentment (Eagle-headed Demon Form: The Beginning of the Generation):
Monster characteristics: After using abilities, it can warn of nearby dangerous situations (murderous intent, hostility, aura, fluctuations).
Purchase cost: 1000 sacrificial power
3. Fierce poison (black-armored snake form: the beginning of the generation):

Purchase consumption: Already owned, cannot be purchased again
4. Mo Yan (bone fire form: the beginning of a generation):
Monster characteristics: consumes mental power to release death flames that can be controlled by perception and consciousness. After hitting the target, it will cause continuous burning and death energy penetration damage (the specific damage is affected by the monster level and the strength of its own mental power)
Purchase cost: 1000 sacrificial power
……
"Guide, what does the suffix of the monster's soul mean the beginning of the generation?" Li Zheng looked at the guide water polo and asked curiously.
[Di Zhao conducted a total of ten mysterious experiments when he created the Yuanchu monster, each time decomposing part of his own power. The first batch of created Yuanchu life balls were scattered all over the monster world, and eventually evolved into a generation of Yuanchu. The second generation refers to the second batch of original beings created, and the same applies later. 】
[The self-decomposition of the Emperor's Sign is a process from weak to strong. The power characteristics of the first generation Yuanchu are the weakest, and the power characteristics of the tenth generation Yuanchu are the strongest. Therefore, the growth potential of the monsters of the tenth generation Yuanchu is much higher than that of the first generation Yuanchu. Monsters... but growth potential does not necessarily represent strength. There may be monsters with lower hunting levels in the tenth generation of Yuanchu, and there may also be monsters with extremely high hunting levels in the first generation of Yuanchu monsters. 】
"That's it."
After understanding the meaning of the monster suffix, Li Zheng fell into deep thought.
At this stage, there are three choices before him, namely the eagle-headed demon, the gargoyle, and the bone fire.
Among them, the elemental damage of bone fire does not match the venomous characteristics of the black armored snake, so this option is eliminated first.
The remaining two options are that the eagle-headed monster is more functional and auxiliary and has universal monster characteristics, while the gargoyle is more defensive.
After thinking briefly, he decided to exit the Star Pulse function interface first and discuss with his brothers what to choose.
When the internal view cleared, Li Zheng turned to look at his brother beside him, and was surprised to find that Chitu had embedded his second life soul, switching to the form of bone fire with ink-colored flames burning all over his body.
