Chapter 190 The Heart of the Warrior

When Xixi left completely, the madman's body shook and turned around, as if he saw Xixi's tears floating in the wind. At that moment, he understood the feelings he had never felt like he had faced...

Turning around again, he found that the demon mantis on the opposite side began, but he stood quietly at about five meters away from him and looked at him...

A strange feeling surged in his heart: "Is this demon mantis a wise creature?" But soon he abandoned this absurd idea and shook his head to calm himself down...

The demon mantis opposite was still looking at him motionlessly. When the madman collided with his eyes, he was surprised to find that he seemed to see through the shock in his eyes and his "admiration" for himself. The madman was shocked. He really didn't understand whether the demon mantis really possessed human nature or... or did he have hallucinations... but a glimmer of hope slipped through his heart...

"You are very brave..." The Demon Mantis spoke. If it weren't for its huge diamond-shaped mouth opening and closing, the madman would have thought there was a player next to him...

The madman's mood was immersed in an endless shock at this time... He had seen a verbal creature before, and the spiritual python encountered in the snake's hole was one of them. But now he was still scared by the demon mantis's performance: "The talking super intelligent creature... actually appeared on the Forbidden Peak... Do you want someone to live?!"

After a while, the madman calmed down. He took a deep breath and said to the Demon Mantis: "My goal has been achieved... Let me learn about your strength... I believe you will not disappoint me!"

After saying that, the madman tried his best, and his internal skills were all done. A dazzling golden light wandered from the madman's dantian to his whole body. Soon, he became golden all over his body. With the expression of a determined face to die, I believe that if Xixi discovered this scene, she would definitely agree to her body immediately... (sweat!...)

"Come on!" The madman felt as if he was bathed in the sun, very comfortable, and his whole body was full of strength... He felt that he was stronger than before...

The demon mantis on the side suddenly said, "Yes, you can break through with more effort..." Its words undoubtedly made the madman peek at a hidden secret in the game. He quickly reacted, and an excited light flashed in his eyes. He frantically urging his internal strength to activate his internal strength over and over again...

The magic mantis' big mouth strangely showed a strange "weird" smile, as if he was very satisfied with the person with more golden light in front of him...

"Ding!" A crisp voice sounded when the madman's internal strength was about to be exhausted. The madman was shocked and happy. He understood that he had made a breakthrough. The accompanying system sound proved his guess: "Congratulations on your breakthrough in the internal strength and mental method and being promoted to the intermediate level mental method! Please name the mental method!"

The madman was so excited that he ignored the threat of the demon mantis around him and opened his skill bar.

My lower-level mental method is gone, and the one that is replaced is:

Unnamed Mind Method (Intermediate): Low-level, proficiency level 0/1000, speed increase by 20%, physical attack, defense increase by 5%, magic attack remains unchanged, magic defense decreases by 5%. The madman's heart moved and named the Mind Method "Wind God's Art"...

Although the attack and defense of "Wind God's Art" has been reduced compared to the previous low-level advanced mental methods, the speed increase has made the madman like it. As for the reduced attack, it can be filled in just a short period of time, and it is no big deal...

The madman was ecstatic and said to himself: "With this, I can really gain a foothold in the Fengyun List!" Although the madman's skills and body skills are outstanding, he also knew that all this was created by the equipment given by the boss, and the "Corpse King Summoning Technique" given by the boss gave him a stronger power. However, he felt very uncomfortable with the power given by the gift, and he wanted to find his own power! And today, he finally took the first step to success! Although this was obtained by the enlightenment of a smart creature - the Demon Mantis, it was also an opportunity, an opportunity of his own, and he seized it himself!

"Haha!..." The madman laughed affectionately. He understood that he had gained the greatest gain in this journey to the Forbidden City!

"Just this breakthrough, I will be complacent, hum..." A sarcastic voice came into my ears, but the madman was not angry, and he didn't even have any expression of anger. He knew that he could have such a breakthrough was entirely given by the Demon Mantis...

The madman calmed down, but the expression of joy on his face did not retreat at all. He said to the Demon Mantis with gratitude: "First of all, I want to thank you... Although we are hostile, I still want to thank you before fighting with you! Without you, I don't know how long it will take to break through..." The madman's sincere attitude made the Demon Mantis very useful. He nodded in appreciation and said, "You're welcome..."

"Then..." The madman changed his tone, drew his sword and pointed it at the demon mantis, shouting with a high fighting spirit: "Let's fight!"

"Yeah!" The Demon Mantis was stunned. It didn't understand why the person in front of him changed his face so quickly, and could not react for a moment. Fortunately, the madman "sees" the Demon Mantis's puzzled expression, stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with you!" The Demon Mantis looked "injured" and his huge claws rubbed against his face, saying.

"..." This time it was the madman's turn to be stupid. He blinked and asked incrediblely: "Are you... don't you plan to fight again?"

The Demon Mantis suddenly realized, but soon showed a contemptuous look and glared at the madman fiercely and said, "Do you think you can defeat me if you have a little success in your mind?" After saying that, he glanced at him disdainfully, turned his strange big head aside, and looked at him sideways...

The madman looked up and blushed, put away the sword in his hand, and said in a naughty way: "No... I just want to..."

"What! Do you want to kill me?" The Demon Mantis interrupted him with an unhappy look on his face, which made the madman even more uncomfortable. He quickly waved his hand and explained: "No! I thought you monsters would not give up until you achieve your goal... Oh, don't you kill me?" The madman suddenly asked strangely behind him.

The demon mantis danced his scythe arm and replied with a "hum" voice: "Who said I didn't achieve my goal!"

The madman was even more puzzled, and said "Huh" and asked again: "What's the purpose?"

"Look for a warrior with the heart of a warrior!" The Demon Mantis replied slowly, staring at the madman...

"Heart of Warriors!?" The madman seemed to understand something from the words of the Demon Mantis. His eyes lit up, and he tried hard to suppress his excitement, and asked calmly: "What is the Heart of Warriors?"

"The spirit that a warrior who can sacrifice his life for his companions is the heart of a warrior!" The Demon Mantis explained slowly and politely.

The madman fully understood that he moved the Demon Mantis with his actions. Although the Demon Mantis was just waiting for a player with the heart of a warrior to appear, if he escaped with Xiaolong and the other two, he believed that he and others had died under the ruthless executioner of the Demon Mantis...

He was happy to think that he not only saved Xiaolong and the other two, but also received the recognition of the Demon Mantis. He knew: This was either a hidden task or a system reward!

None of them is a bad thing, which makes the madman happy.

"Then... is there any reward?" The madman's slutty expression made the Demon Mantis feel "uncomfortable", but he still answered his question dutifully: "Some! It's me!"

"!?" The madman widened his eyes and looked at the demon mantis incredibly.

The Demon Mantis stared at him without showing weakness...

"That... cough... that's to say, what do you mean?" the madman asked stutteringly.

"What do I mean?" The Demon Mantis was stunned again, puzzled...

"Is it true if you don't say that the reward is you?" the madman asked with his eyes wide open.

“…yes, the reward is me…”

After explaining for a long time, the madman finally understood.

It turns out that the Demon Mantis is one of the top ten wise bosses sealed in the palace. This time he serves as the protagonist of finding the Heart of Warriors and the examiner who tests everyone present... Once a player with Heart of Warriors is found, they will take the initiative to help them become their masters... that is, their pets!

"Pet?" After the madman said, the demon mantis nodded heavily...

"Why is this?" The madman was puzzled. Why did such a link be added in the middle?

"This world is full of unknown variables. The palace originally planned to hold the decisive battle of the Forbidden City in a year!" The Demon Mantis told a secret that calmed the madman...

"Why?" the madman asked quickly.

"Because the appearance of a group of high-level players such as the Wind Demon Sword God and the appearance of a large number of hidden professional players changed this decision, but at that time there was no decision to add ten sealed monsters to the examiners, and there was no suggestion to find the Heart of Warriors! Everything changed after many sudden variables such as the instability of the Abyss Demon Prison seal and the uneasiness in the palace..." Speaking of this, the Demon Mantis paused, stared at the madman and said, "So, the palace now needs the help of folk heroes, but although your abilities have grown very fast, it is impossible to deal with the current difficulties. So we appeared!"

The madman finally understood the whole process, and he finally understood why his boss was licensed to enter the top 100...

It is not difficult for him to imagine the boss' reaction after seeing ten big bosses - to directly use swordsmanship or ice dragon to solve them, so that he would not care about any tests! Those are provocations to his strength for him! I believe that because of this reason, the Queen Mother made a group of people enter the top 100 early...
