......
It consumed 3 points of physical enhancement, 10 points of skill enhancement, and 9 points of combat skill enhancement.
Shen Mo instantly returned to his peak condition, and his movement skills also improved to a higher level.
As for the art of suggestion, it is currently Shen Mo's only option for enhancing his combat skills.
With no bow and arrows at hand, and the ten points of enhancement I've accumulated, I can only enhance the Piercing Arrow skill to the Mastery level.
Therefore, Shen Mo simply perfected his art of suggestion.
I want to see the effect of this spell's qualitative change and whether it can play a role in the current battle.
The result was only mediocre.
Suggestion techniques have inherent limitations.
Originally, it could only have a reasonable effect on targets within ten meters who could understand the caster's instructions.
Furthermore, if the target is harmed, the spell's effect will immediately cease.
Shen Mo initially learned this spell primarily to deal with the Bloodfang Gang.
This spell is almost useless against monsters.
However, after the qualitative change, in addition to the increased casting range, enhanced verbal suggestion effect, and longer duration,
The influence of suggestion on the target is no longer limited to words.
Through eye contact, facial expressions, and gestures, one can subtly influence a target.
However, the effect and extent of this suggestive method on the target depends mainly on the target's comprehension ability; the practitioner has little control over it...
For example, Shen Mo now has a look of terror on his face, and the Scaled Ape released a hint after the surgery.
The scaly ape... became even more excited!
This made Shen Mo's face darken, and he was somewhat speechless.
It's unclear whether the suggestion spell had a negative effect, or whether the Scaled Ape simply became immune to the spell...
Holy Blessing!
Apply a blessing effect to the longsword in your hand with holy light.
Shen Mo looked at the scaled ape that had come chasing after him.
boom!
With a wave of its arm, the Scaled Ape pushed aside the fallen tree.
He paused briefly before continuing his attack.
Seeing this, Shen Mo also mobilized his magic and went to meet the Scaled Ape.
He infused his enchanted longsword with magic, causing it to radiate a chilling light and display an unprecedented sharpness.
At the same time, Shen Mo multitasked, his mental energy surging...
The art of zombie movement!
The spell was cast instantly, and a flash of light disappeared beneath the Scaled Ape's feet, causing its body to stiffen immediately.
In that brief pause, Shen Mo had already rushed to the front of the Scaled Ape.
Holding the knife in both hands, he leaped up and slashed at the scaled ape's neck!
The longsword unleashed a slash that cut through the air, leaving a much more solid crescent-shaped afterimage than before!
Crescent Moon Slash!
Shen Mo used his strongest move right from the start!
Upon seeing the long sword coming down, a human-like fear appeared in the Scaled Ape's eyes.
But then, the water film on its surface rippled violently.
Amidst the ripples and folds, the scaly ape broke free from the effects of the Stiffness Technique.
He then quickly raised his right arm to block, and the fin-like structure at his elbow suddenly contracted to enhance his defense.
The next moment, Shen Mo's long sword slashed at the scaled ape's arm.
Clang, clang, clang—
After a short, sharp metallic knocking sound, there was a teeth-grinding friction sound.
The long blade pierced through the water film, severed the tightly closed, hard fins, and landed on the thick, elastic scales.
Feeling the resistance from the blade, Shen Mo gritted his teeth and maintained the angle of his downward strike.
puff-
Accompanied by the sound of flesh tearing apart.
The long knife pierced through the scales and fur of the Scaled Ape's arm, cutting into the knotted muscles, and blood gushed out immediately!
Awooo!!!
In pain, the scaled ape roared and swung its thick, powerful right claw at Shen Mo!
Shen Mo remained completely calm in the face of the Scaled Ape's counterattack.
The strike he just delivered, which appeared to be a powerful blow, was actually deliberate and left room for maneuver.
His expert-level swordsmanship allowed him to control his attacks with ease.
With a somersault, he sheathed his sword and dodged the attack from the Scaled Ape's right hand.
The longsword slashed in an arc, cutting through the air with a whooshing sound, and struck the scaled ape's abdomen diagonally.
Sizzle!
After a burst of sparks...
A deep crack appeared on the scales piled up on the abdomen of the scaly ape, but it did not damage the ape's skin and flesh.
The scales on the chest and back of the Scaled Ape have the strongest defensive capabilities!
Even the best quality magic bullet gun can't break through the defense!
But Shen Mo didn't care about the result of the previous strike. He moved nimbly and circled behind the Scaled Ape with a series of quick steps.
The scaled ape, unable to turn around in time, sensed the threat behind it and immediately lowered its head.
At the same time, it suddenly swung its thick fin tail!
But this time, Shen Mo's target was not its neck...
Leaning back, he narrowly avoided the fin-tailed attack from the Scaled Ape.
Shen Mo braced himself with his left hand on the ground, using his powerful waist and abdomen strength to twist and stand up, while suddenly swinging his long sword upwards.
puff-
With a whooshing sound, a streak of light flashed past the scaly ape's genitals.
The cloaca, the most vulnerable part of the scaly ape, is covered by only a thin layer of soft scales.
At this moment, Shen Mo focused his attacks on him with the Crescent Moon Slash, and he immediately began to bleed profusely.
The excruciating pain from its lower body caused the Scaled Ape to curl up in agony, its gaping maw screaming silently.
Even the water film on its surface couldn't be maintained and scattered all over the ground.
He circled around to the side of the Scaled Ape and swung his knife again with both hands.
Upon seeing this, the Scaled Ape instinctively raised its left hand to block again.
Crescent Moon Slash!
The moonlight flashed and disappeared.
With a silent control, the longsword precisely struck the wound on the Scaled Ape's left arm.
Click!
With a crisp crack, the arm, thicker and longer than a normal person's thigh, snapped off.
Ow—
The Scaled Ape let out a mournful roar and swung its right claw at Shen Mo.
Crescent Moon Slash!
Without dodging or avoiding, he aimed at the ape's elbow.
It was a soft-scaled area, without fin spines, and relatively thin...
puff!
Amidst the splattering blood, the Scaled Ape's right arm was also severed.
Only a layer of scales and the fin spines at the elbow remained, connected to the severed limb!
Ow—
With both arms severed, the Scaled Ape let out a mournful howl and lunged forward, trying to tear Shen Mo apart.
But this action also exposed its throat!
Crescent Moon Slash!
With a quick turn, Shen Mo easily dodged the scaled ape's attack.
Then, with a swift upward motion, the longsword traced a crescent shape and slashed across the scaled ape's throat.
The next moment, blood gushed out like a waterfall.
Shen Mo had cut open nearly a third of the Scaled Ape's neck!
However, the powerful vitality of a third-tier magical beast also gives it the ability to fight back.
But Shen Mo wasn't prepared to give it that chance...
Swish-
Shen Mo circled around behind the scaled ape and slashed its knees twice, causing it to stumble and kneel on the ground.
Then he turned around and returned to the side of the scaled ape.
With a whooshing sound, the long sword in his hand swung down menacingly toward the lowered neck, like an executioner.
Crescent Moon Slash!
Sizzle!
Crescent Moon Slash!
Clang!
It took Shen Mo two more cuts to completely sever the scaled ape's neck!
As the eyes on the ferocious head of the Scaled Ape quickly lost their luster, the Hunting Notes finally displayed a hunting prompt!
