With a"boom".
The rocks in front of him vanished like an illusion,revealing a narrow passage behind them.
White smoke billowed out from the passage,though Lin Te,lacking a sense of smell,could imagine the stench.
His gaming experience paid off!
In this perilous world,he gained another advantage.Let go of the anxiety, feel a bit more at ease.
He carefully controlled his body,floating into the passage.
As he went deeper,the white smoke became more and more thicker.
It started to corrode Lint's body surface,but acid resistance limited the damage.
The darkness here was still strong,and a few breaths of it could heal the minor corrosion.
He kept going down until he reached the end of the tunnel and entered a vast underground cave.
In the center of the cave lay a clear,fairy-like underground lake.
A layer of milk-like,silken fog floated above it.
It was far more stunning than anything in the game,but beneath the beauty lay deadly danger.
The lake wasn't a spring but a pool of acid that could corrode steel.
Anyone falling in would be reduced to nothing.
Lint's acid resistance level 4 was crucial for this moment.
He floated to the center of the lake,beneath the most noticeable large stalactite.
Remembering the game,he quickly dived into the water,speeding up as he went down.
The acid tried to corrode him,causing his outer layer of dark energy to dissolve and scatter.
It looked like a effervescent tablet thrown into water or dough into hot oil.
"Collision!"
Feeling the corrosion,Lin Te finally used his skill.With the speed of the impact,he sped up and soon reached the bottom of the lake.
There,a purple crystal lay.
He quickly extended his dark steel wire to grab it.
"Collision!"
He dragged the crystal,rushing back to the surface.
The dark steel wire kept being corroded,but Lin Te kept extending new dark steel wires to hold the crystal.
Breaking through the lake surface,Lin Te quickly rushed to the shore.
Falling to the ground,Lin Te was now pockmarked all over from the corrosion,looking like a piece of rotten stone.
He gulped down the surrounding dark energy,healing the damage to his body.
At the same time,he slowly moved the crystal in front of him.
This crystal was called the Adaptation Crystal,which was his target.
Using the Ability Crystal would grant him the precious talent,[Adaptation].
[Adaptation]could unlock the acquisition of rare resistance skills and reduce the difficulty of obtaining and upgrading resistance skills,allowing him to adapt to various attacks and gain corresponding attack resistance.
With[Adaptation],Lint could gain the rare resistance skill,[Evil God Resistance],by adapting to the Evil God's power.
And with[Evil God Resistance],Lint would have more leeway to deal with unexpected situations when obtaining the Evil God's power.
Thinking of this,Lint eagerly pressed the Ability Crystal against his body,extending dark steel wires to pierce through it and absorb its power.
[Obtained new talent,Adaptation]
With the acquisition of the new talent,Lint suddenly felt as if his body had broken some kind of shackle.
But upon closer examination,this feeling seemed like an illusion.
It was time to leave.
Lint followed the tunnel he had come through,left the underground acid lake,and returned to the entrance.
He turned around and looked at the entrance.
Although this was a small step in the experiment,it was a big step for his success.
After this experiment,all the hidden treasures on the continent of Luosi would bear his surname,Lin.
Hidden treasures,wait obediently,once I've cleared this tomb,I'll come for you one by one.
Lint continued to move deeper into the tomb.
...
Pulling the dark threads out from the rat corpse on the ground,the last 5%of the evolution slot was finally filled.
Compared to the previous accumulation of the evolution slot,this time it took quite a bit longer.
And no decent evolution paths had been unlocked yet.
It seemed that in the future,it would be difficult to accumulate energy,let alone unlock reliable evolution paths.
[Many-Eyed Dark Eye(Advanced Form)]and[One-Eyed Shadow Frog(Advanced Form)].
Lint had already made up his mind and chose the upper form of the Dark Eye without hesitation,[Many-Eyed Dark Eye(Advanced Form)].
As he made his choice,the[Many-Eyed Dark Eye]on the evolution tree lit up.
80%,50%,0%!
[Evolution begins...]
[Many-Eyed Dark Eye]
In an instant,Lint's only eye opened wide!
Grey iris began to tremble violently,and pitch-black energy gushed out ceaselessly from the depths of the pupil,swirling around Lint and churning non-stop.
Intense pain tore at Lint's eyes.
Trembling of the iris reached its limit.
Rip!
Lint seemed to hear a strange tearing sound,like paper being ripped.
The circular iris split in half,growing into two pupils.
Then,a pair of pupils split again,becoming two pairs of pupils.
Two pairs of pupils kept contracting and shifting around the eyeball.
Then,two pairs of pupils split again under the tremors,turning into four pairs of pupils.
A full eight irises filled the exposed eyeball.
Crack,crack!
Cracks sounded on the surface of Lint's body,and the pitch-black spherical body split open with one crack after another.
Every time a crack opened,the pupils packed on the eyeball eagerly turned towards the crack.
Until a full seven cracks had opened,Lint returned to the pitch-black spherical shape once more.
Eight uniformly-sized cracks,irregularly spread across the round spherical body.
Then.
They snapped open!
A full eight grey eyes opened with the cracks,exposed to the air.
Eyeballs spun wildly,surveying the surroundings.
Surrounding darkness also poured into those eyes one after another as the pupils opened.
