It seems the method of infiltration is largely gone.
However, to reach Fountainhead Palace, Qin Jie must pass through Shuisheng Village, a path he is destined to take.
Unable to proceed, the wishing statue had thoroughly enraged Qin Jie. He was not a person with a good temper to begin with, and at this moment, only one path lay before Qin Jie.
That was to force his way through.
If he were to force his way, Magikarp Derivatives could quickly dissolve Qin Jie's shield, and a large number of villagers would act as suicide bombers. But at this point, devouring abyss was clearly insufficient to deal with large batches of enemies.
At this moment, devouring abyss's damage was completely overflowing, but because there were too many enemies, Qin Jie needed to change his strategy.
Soul Devour: Can convert items with Soul attributes into Soul Value. Killing enemies will also absorb their Soul and convert it into SoulValue. Soul Value can be used to modify weapons (form, skills, attributes, quality) --- special enemies provide additional Soul Value.
Qin Jie needed some ability to deal with a large number of enemies, and this ability could be obtained through Soul Devour at the cost of SoulValue. Combined with Blood Luck, Qin Jie could forcibly acquire the ability he desired.
At this time, devouring abyss's Soul Value had accumulated to 78.2%. But even if he accumulated a bit more, even if its quality was upgraded to purple, it wouldn't solve Qin Jie's current problem. Therefore, Qin Jiehad two choices before him.
First, draw a skill. Qin Jie remembered that when he previously drew the Sword Shadow skill, there was a skill that allowed Sword Shadow to self-destruct, causing area damage. If he could draw a new self-destruct skill, it might solve Qin Jie's current problem.
Second, change the weapon form. Qin Jie had never tried this. Changing the weapon form could give devouring abyss a new appearance and new skills, but it required at least 50% of the Soul Value for devouring abyss to change.
Actually, both options relied heavily on luck, but Qin Jie's Blood Luckhad already accumulated to 326 points. No matter which method, as long as the effect of consuming Blood Luck was triggered, Qin Jie could get the result he wanted.
After a moment of thought, Qin Jie decided to change the weapon's form.
Two forms of devouring abyss could be retained, meaning the current form of devouring abyss could be kept, and the transformed devouring abyss would also retain its form. Qin Jie didn't have to worry about devouring abyss losing its original abilities after the change.
As 50% of the Soul Value was invested, a black film-like substance suddenly covered the surface of devouring abyss, and it floated in the air. During this period, Qin Jie's Blood Luck sharply dropped by 140 points.
But the consumption didn't stop at this point. Qin Jie's accumulated Blood Luck was still rapidly depleting, and in the blink of an eye, Blood Luck was deducted to 80 points.
Heh, it's quite a glutton, devouring 246 points of Blood Luck in one go. That's almost enough for Qin Jie to open two purple chests and get a flash.
Although Qin Jie felt a bit pained, it was his own weapon after all, and no matter how much he invested, there would be enough returns.
The black film gradually swelled. Through its outline, Qin Jie could vaguely see that devouring abyss's blade was much larger than before, the hilt was a few centimeters longer than before, and it also gained a handguard.
After waiting for about an hour, devouring abyss's form change was completely finished, and the black film on its surface dispersed.
Qin Jie took hold of it, and a heavy sensation came over him. He weighed it and was surprised to find that devouring abyss was much heavier than before.
It should be known that his Strength was now 20 points. For him to feel heavy, it seemed devouring abyss weighed at least several hundred jin at this point.
At this time, devouring abyss was much thicker than before, with a blade length of thirty inches and a thickness of one finger. If the previous devouring abyss had a sharpness that made one's eyes sting just by looking at it, then the current devouring abyss appeared much more restrained, because at this time, devouring abyss's power could be seen just from its shape.

[Now drawing new skills.]
At this moment, three skills appeared before Qin Jie.
1, Shattering Strike: When attacking, there is a chance to launch an area attack with 100% attack power in a 5-yard radius.
2, Mass Effect: When attacking, a pulling effect will be generated in a 0.7-meter radius around the weapon based on the swing Strength attribute. Pulled units will take an additional 17% damage.
3, Wave Slash: When attacking, a forward-flying wave slash will be generated, dealing 50% of attack power damage to units in front.
Without hesitation, Qin Jie chose 2, Mass Effect.
It wasn't that the other options were bad, but the second one was very suitable for the current situation.
Qin Jie could kill Magikarp Derivatives with one blow, but their surface had corrosive slime that could corrode shields. Mass Effect could add a pulling effect, effectively preventing the slime from splashing everywhere, and its 0.7-meter radius was not small, which was also very helpful in group battles.
It seemed his decision was correct.
Qin Jie held the Greatsword form of devouring abyss. The next moment, the blade of devouring abyss changed again, instantly transforming back into its original form.
That is, the han sword form. The han sword form was devouring abyss's initial form and possessed the Sword Shadow effect.
Not bad. It seems that apart from the initial situation, subsequent weapon transformations won't waste too much time.
At this time, Qin Jie could freely switch between the Greatsword and han sword forms. However, the Greatsword could not use the han sword's skills, but Qin Jie could summon Sword Shadow in han swordmode, and even if he switched to Greatsword mode afterward, the Sword Shadow would not dissipate.
However, even so, it was far from enough. Qin Jie still needed another enhancement.
He again spent 25% of his Soul Value, exhausting the accumulated SoulValue, and then chose to strengthen the Mass Effect skill.
