In the Age of Gods and Demons, I evolved into the final boss.

Chapter 32 2rd Evolution

The monster "army" traveled for half an hour before returning to their base camp.

Compared to two days ago, the underground space is now much cleaner, with large stone houses neatly arranged around the hills, and the scene of feces scattered all over the ground is gone.

It's just not very big; it looks like a small village.

Awooo!!

As soon as they returned to the base camp, the dog-headed monsters scattered, some rolling on the ground, others sniffing around.

Compared to the chaos of the kobolds, the minotaurs are much more disciplined.

Although they also dropped their axes or maces, they ran to the side and picked up large stones to forge them.

Unlike the Black Armored Earth Dragon, which can devour and evolve, these monsters can only become stronger by fighting, killing, and absorbing energy through slaughter.

This is why the Black Armored Earth Dragon always brings its subordinates with it whenever it encounters a monster tribe.

Although there is a mortality rate of about one-third each time, those that survive become stronger and stronger, since the monsters will automatically replenish themselves, so there is no fear of depletion.

At this moment, Sokos, the dog-headed demon in charge of collecting, appeared from another passage, followed by dozens of chaotic dog-headed demons.

Sokos approached the Black Armored Earth Dragon and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, while searching for minerals, I encountered another group of dog-headed monsters wandering around, so I brought them back."

"Hmm, not bad."

The black-armored earth dragon nodded and growled, then asked with some curiosity, "This is the third batch of monsters you've gathered today. Do you know why they're wandering around?"

"I have already asked."

Sokos respectfully said, "The monsters we gathered today all came from the same dog-headed tribe. They were attacked by the even stronger jackal tribe, their tribe was destroyed, and they could only scatter and flee."

The Jackal Demon Tribe. The Black-Armored Earth Dragon's eyes lit up.

Unlike extraordinary ores and magma lotuses, which have definite production locations, Chen Zheng currently only knows that the Jackal Demon Tribe may have soul crystal fragments.

At this moment, Sokos grabbed a simple leather bag from a dog-headed monster behind him: "Your Majesty, this is the ore we collected today."

"Let me take a look."

The black-armored earth dragon extended its right claw, gently twisting the leather bag with its claw tip. It sensed that there should be more than ten pieces of lava ore inside, and nodded in satisfaction before storing it in its soul space.

Now that we've finished discussing the important matters, it's time to get down to business.

"Roar! Sokos, go and pinpoint the location and number of that jackal monster tribe, then come back and report."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then the Black Armored Earth Dragon looked at the other three demons: "Mora, you're in charge of the fungal strain. Designate that area as a plantation and don't allow any demons to approach it."

"Don't worry, King, Mora's specialty is planting." The kobold shaman chuckled and ran off, directing a group of kobold monsters to start digging holes.

"Serus, Vala, I am about to enter a period of slumber to break through to the next stage. During this time, no monster is allowed to approach me, or they will be killed without mercy."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Moo!

After explaining everything, Chen Zheng brought up his personal page with some anticipation, his gaze falling on the Life Essence section at the bottom. "Let's see what's in this evolution card pool."

"Initiate evolution?"

"Activate".

As before, with the confirmation of the Black Armored Earth Dragon, three evolutionary paths emerged.

[Black Flame Dragon, its demonic flames scorch the heavens]

[The Eternal Frost Dragon, freezing a thousand miles]

[Abyssal Dragon, Unrivaled in Heavy Armor]

Chen Zheng almost drooled over the three options: "Flame DPS, Ice Control, and Abyss Heavy Tank, I want them all!"

All three evolutionary directions seem very promising.

Chen Zheng pondered: "The third one can be ruled out first. I already have a defensive talent, so I don't lack defensive skills for the time being."

"Frost is better suited for control, but its single-target output and destructive power are not extreme enough, so let's go with Black Flame Dragon to increase output."

After a moment's thought, Chen Zheng decided to choose the first evolutionary path.

The moment he confirmed the evolution, Chen Zheng withdrew most of his consciousness; he didn't want to sleep for a day or two.

boom!

Deep within the Black Armored Earth Dragon's body, the accumulated essence of life evolution erupted, sweeping everything away, causing cells to collapse and genes to recombine wherever it passed.

Roar! A faint dragon roar erupted from deep within the Black Armored Earth Dragon's body, filled with a violent and destructive aura.

…………

Late at night, in the dormitory, Chen Zheng suddenly opened his eyes on his bed.

It was already past three in the morning. Looking at the dozen or so red ores and blood-red lotus pods in his soul space, Chen Zheng suddenly lost his sleepiness and got up.

Turning on the lights, Chen Zheng first took out the red ore from his soul space and lined it up in a row.

The All-Spirit Plunder begins.

The feeling of the active mineral elements integrating into his body was silent and imperceptible. Apart from feeling that his body seemed to have become a little stronger, Chen Zheng did not experience any major reactions.

"Absorbs fire-elemental active elements, increases maximum constitution by 3, and increases blood and qi purity by 1."

"Absorbing fire-attribute active elements, constitution limit +2, blood and qi purity +1..."

The fourteen fire-attribute ores increased Chen Zheng's physical constitution limit by a total of 37 points and his blood purity by 14 points. The increase in blood purity made his dantian blood appear more concentrated.

What was originally a thin layer of red mist has now turned into a thick red fog.

After plundering the spiritual essence of the ore, Chen Zheng took out six magma fire lotuses.

Whoosh! The pure medicinal power containing the essence of heaven and earth was drawn out by Chen Zheng bit by bit, and through his palm, it transformed into a hot, warm current that flowed into his body.

This time, he absorbed the power of the two magma lotuses at the same time. Once the medicinal power of the spiritual herbs was completely absorbed, Chen Zheng immediately shut down the Myriad Spirits Plunder and got up to cultivate.

Boom! With each move of the Iron Armor Skill, Chen Zheng's blood and qi surged, tempering his skin and causing his strength to soar at an astonishing speed.

Iron Armor Skill [3rd level 0.1 → 5%], Iron Armor Skill [5 → 10%]...

Because the Fire Lotus contained abyssal energy, Chen Zheng cultivated for two hours straight, only slowly stopping when the sky outside the window became hazy.

Huff! Chen Zheng exhaled a breath of white hot air.

Realm: Level 8 Martial Artist, Iron Armor Skill [3rd Reincarnation 31%], Chen Zheng smiled brightly as he looked at the skill progress on the attribute page.

He would normally need three more days to break through to the ninth level of martial arts, but the spiritual medicine he obtained tonight saved him a whole day.

However... Chen Zheng sensed the Abyss Body and found that it was still dormant, indicating that the evolution was not yet complete.

It was still early, so Chen Zheng took a quick shower, changed his clothes, and sat down at his desk, opening the ancient book of runes that Bai Su had given him.

However, without the support of the soul crystal fragments, although Chen Zheng had already learned the first four pages and had a certain foundation in rune structure, learning the later parts was still very difficult.

It took him an hour and a half, from 6:00 to 7:30, to understand a small part of the fifth page.

Classroom

As soon as Chen Zheng sat down, Jiang Mo, who was sitting next to him, leaned over and whispered, "Chen Zheng, have you heard? Yesterday, the principal brought back a resource continent."

"What does 'resource continent' mean? And where would I hear this so early in the morning?" Chen Zheng was speechless.

Jiang Mo ignored Chen Zheng's complaints and explained, "Resource Continent refers to a continent rich in extraordinary resources, spiritual herbs, and mineral veins."

"Many medicinal herbs and minerals." Upon hearing this, Chen Zheng's eyes lit up slightly.

He's been having some allergic reactions to these things lately.

"And then what, what does that have to do with us?"

"That's my main point."

Jiang Mo said in a low voice, "I heard that the school is planning to send all students in for training, including our Rune Department."
