[Talent: Blessed by the Earth]

[Blessing of the Earth]: Earth Druids are blessed by the earth, and the effects of their spells related to plants, earth, and land transformation are enhanced (approximately 30%-40%).

Looking at the newly updated data, Han Ning closed his eyes again, quietly savoring the moment.

His spiritual power limit surged to fifty points, and he could clearly feel the surging power between his muscles.

"Wild Blessing is an enhancement-type support skill, while Frenzied Growth can only be unlocked after Accelerated Growth proficiency is increased, so..."

His mind was focused on the knowledge about [Beast Transformation].

There are two ways to successfully complete the transformation.

The first method involves directly confronting the target wild animal face-to-face. During this process, one must observe not only its walking, sitting, and lying postures, but also its daily living habits.

It is also necessary to continuously inject natural energy into the target body, just like casting a mold, to understand the essence of form and spirit.

The advantage is that although the training time is long, the difficulty is low and there is no danger.

The second method uses the earth as a bridge to connect all living things.

The earth gives birth to all kinds of beasts, and after the land animals die, their bones and souls mostly slumber in the earth.

Druids can sense the animal spirit imprinted in the natural cycle by sensing the pulse of the earth.

Each time you communicate with a beast spirit and gain its approval, you can capture its form as a mark and store it in your spiritual world.

There is no limit to the number of Beast Spirit Marks, but switching forms requires a transformation time. As the level of [Beast Form] increases, this process will be greatly shortened.

The time required to master this method is uncertain, as is the difficulty; it all depends on whether the beast spirit can be recognized, and it heavily relies on the druid's spirituality.

Han Ning felt that given his current situation, he had little chance of living face-to-face with a powerful terrestrial superhuman beast and imitating its form.

He can only choose the second option.

While recalling the method of communicating with the beast spirit, Han Ning left the dangerous area where he was hunting crocodile lizards and found a relatively safe open space near Biyun Resort.

"Snowflake, keep watch for me, don't let any creatures get close!"

"Hiss!!" Xuebing lay down in front of Han Ning, cautiously observing the surroundings.

Han Ning sat down on the ground, inserting his ten fingers into the soil, just as he had done when communicating with the earth before.

Lower your upper body, touch your forehead lightly to the ground, and hold your breath.

"Release natural energy, connect with the earth, and communicate with animal spirits."

Han Ning silently recited the ancient prayer that originated from the depths of his soul. His spiritual will, like invisible roots, spread deeper along his arms and forehead, trying to touch the ancient pulse that slumbered in the earth.

Wow~

It rained heavily.

Han Ning stood like a statue, unmoved by wind and rain.

Time passes quietly.

Sudden.

A deep, heavy, and inexplicable chaotic will, like a sleeping behemoth being awakened.

In an instant, Han Ning's mental perception changed.

The gray rain curtain around him was no longer there; an endless void enveloped him.

In this void, countless illusory halos of varying sizes and shapes rose up.

They float like stars.

Some resemble running deer, agile and nimble.

Some resemble giant bears, as heavy as mountains.

Some of them resemble cheetahs, their streamlined bodies brimming with explosive power.

Some are bizarre and difficult to identify, carrying the aura of ancient wilderness.

All of them are projections of powerful beings that have existed or are currently existing on this land.

Next to each light and shadow effect, a brief description naturally appears on the panel:

Ironback Rock Bear - Level Cap: Lv15 - Talent: Earth Guardian (Physical Defense Enhancement)

【Wind Chaser Panther - Level Cap: Lv18 - Talent: Swift Shadow (Burst Speed ​​Enhancement)】

[Swamp Poison Monitor Lizard - Level Cap: Lv12 - Talent: Corrosive Bite (Attacks inflict corrosive toxins)]

……

[Level cap represents the highest possible strength of the target creature during its lifetime.]

"I need to find a land beast with strong mental resistance."

When exploring the fog zone, the first priority is to resist the pervasive mental attacks; otherwise, you'll be at a disadvantage compared to the fog zone monsters from the start.

Han Ning's thoughts swept rapidly across these beast spirits, sifting through and selecting from among thousands of them.

Suddenly, the light and shadow in one area seemed to be swept away by an invisible force.

A colossal beastly figure emerged from the shadows.

It was clearly in the shape of a giant tiger.

It is not a physical object; its entire body is outlined by dark golden energy, with bold and majestic lines, containing an explosive sense of power.

What is most striking is the viscous golden sheen flowing inside its enormous skull.

【Molten Gold Tiger (Phantom) - Level Cap: Lv25 - Talent: Molten Gold Eye (Increases Mental Resistance/Mental Counterattack)】

"The maximum level is 25... higher than other beast spirits. This creature was probably the top predator on this land in its previous life."

"Gaining their recognition will probably be difficult, but we have to try!"

Han Ning's mind stirred slightly, and his spirit transformed into an invisible tentacle, cautiously reaching out towards the light and shadow of the dark golden tiger.

The moment Han Ning's spiritual tendrils cautiously touched the Dark Golden Tiger Shadow.

Wow~

A strange attraction emanated from within the tiger's shadow, instantly drawing his entire mental and physical will into it.

The field of vision suddenly changed.

What lay before me was no longer a rain-soaked ruin, but a vast, primeval forest.

Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and the air was filled with the smell of decaying leaves.

He transformed into a tiger cub covered in golden fur.

"Who am I? Where am I?"

Han Ning's mind was a complete blank; he couldn't remember anything.

Before he could think further...

Hunger... The intense hunger felt like a red-hot knife scraping against my stomach.

Then he spotted a lame hare crawling in the grass ahead.

He tried to go forward and hunt the hare.

The surrounding bushes rustled, and a dozen tall, large wolves emerged from them.

Rotten saliva dripped onto his head, and the foul stench almost suffocated him.

"Roar!!" "Awooo!!"

He bared his baby teeth and growled, which was met with an even fiercer roar in return.

His claws dug deep trenches in the mud, and his shoulder blade was pierced by the wolf's sharp teeth. He bit the wolf's throat like a madman, and hot, bloody blood filled his mouth.

Chapter 54 Transformation, King of Beasts

The image shattered abruptly, then reassembled amidst excruciating pain.

This time, he is a fully grown Molten Gold War Tiger, locked in a fierce battle with a giant green python several tens of meters long in the swamp.

The wet, thick python's body coiled around his, his bones being crushed and broken, causing excruciating pain.

On his deathbed, his single eye, burning with molten gold, stared intently at the giant python's vital spot. With all his strength gathered, his tiger claws tore through its scales and dug out the still-beating heart.

As the python lay dying, it opened its ferocious jaws, and its dense array of sharp teeth pierced through its abdomen...

The scene changes again.

In his twilight years, Zhanhu stood alone atop the snow-capped mountain, where the wind and snow were like knives.

Three pale skeletons, each ten meters tall, crawled out of a glacial crevice, their eye sockets glowing with eerie soul fire.

The decaying bone claws shattered the frozen earth, unleashing a chilling storm of death that swept across the land.

"Roar!"

The tiger's roar shattered the glacier, and its eyes spewed forth tangible streams of light that burned through the skeleton's chest cavity. But a broken, massive rib shot out like a javelin, piercing straight through its only remaining right eye.

My vision was swallowed by darkness and pain...

In that desperate moment of impending death, all illusions collapsed like glass shattered by a heavy hammer.

The repeated "deaths" brought on a mental shock that nearly made Han Ning faint.

But a cold force forcibly kept his consciousness suspended.
