Renn had a deep understanding of the hardness of the gold-eating ants. In the afternoon, at that store, the owner used an iron hammer to kill ant, which was like smacking the iron. He smashed it several times before he could kill one.

The owner is just an ordinary person, and he has no strength to kill a few gold-eating ants in a row.

Of course, Renn's physical strength and strength are much stronger than ordinary people, but he has no tools at home, and he never cooked before, and he didn't even have a kitchen knife.

You can't kill the gold-eating ants with bare hands and empty fists.

In desperation, Renn decided to go out and buy a tool.

That Hogan wouldn't have come here during this period, right? If he is really so unlucky, he will admit it too!

He remembered that there was a blacksmith shop on the street next door, not far from the apartment. It was just converted into a mechanical craftsman shop not long ago, and it sold all kinds of tools, so there should be suitable ones.

Having hidden the gold-eating ants, Renn quickly walked downstairs and crossed the street and found the craftsman shop.

Because it was already late, there were no customers in the craftsman shop, and there was only a person who looked like a boss sitting behind the counter, guarding the things in the shop. Looking at the boss's outfit, the canvas apron was covered with oil, with a big waist and a round waist, and an unkempt edge. He should be a mechanical craftsman.

Mechanical craftsmen are not extraordinary professions, they are just ordinary people who master mechanical skills, similar to the combination of skilled workers and blacksmiths in their previous lives.

Of course, most of the craftsmen in the empire have a close relationship with the mechanical union.

The mechanic seemed very tired. Rennes came in and he just glanced at him, without any intention of getting up to entertain him.

Rennes glanced around the shop and found that there were very complete types of weapons here.

There are more than a dozen swords, short swords, two-handed swords, broad swords, sharp swords, and half-handed swords. There are more than a dozen swords alone, including axes, daggers, shields, bows and arrows, boxing gloves, defense armor, and mail. Of course, there are also some tools in daily life, kitchen knives, hammers, scissors, etc., which are dazzling, and several walls are hung, and some are even piled directly on the table for the guests to try.

Renne didn't want to waste time and went straight to hammer weapons.

For insects with powerful defenses such as gold-eating ants, swords have limited damage to them, and they still have to be blunt. The most suitable one is a hammer.

It is a coincidence that Rennes' nickname in his previous life was called "Hammer".

His name is Shi Jingqin, which was chosen by his grandfather who participated in the war. His original intention was to pacify the frontier. Because it was homophonic to "Hammer with Hard", he was nicknamed since he was a child. His classmates and friends all called it that, and he got used to it.

When he was in college, he participated in a metalworking internship, and Ren also made a hammer with his own hands and couldn't let it go.

At that time, several roommates saw that they liked Hammer so much, so they took them back to the dormitory to collect them, so they often joked, saying that they would thank him for not killing them...

For a moment, Renn missed those roommates a little, but unfortunately he would never see them again.

He put aside his sentimentality, picked up a hammer, waved it a few times, and felt that it was not very good at it.

“Too light.”

This hammer is not a combat weapon, but a daily tool. It may weigh only two or three pounds, and it has no weight when held in your hand like holding a straw.

There are also hammers as weapons. Alan Ershi called the warhammer. Rennes just saw it and shook his head and gave up. These warhammers are too heavy. The hammer head alone is as big as a head. It is obviously for berserkers or iron guards. They can be moved, but they can't be swung.

He was in a hurry to go back, so he chose an octagonal hammer casually.

This kind of hammer is exactly the same as the one used in the construction site in his previous life. It is what people often call a sledgehammer, but the hammer head is heavier, about thirty pounds, and the hammer handle is about one meter long. It is also made of all iron and is wrapped with a layer of shock-proof leather.

Rennes lifted the hammer in his hand, and seemed to hear a demonic voice shouting: Eighty! Eighty! Eighty...

A hammer is not expensive, only three silver crowns.

Renn paid and left, took the hammer back to the apartment, nothing happened.

He thought about it and hammered the gold-eating ants in the apartment. The noise was too loud and it would affect others. So he took two glass jars downstairs, and with the sound of everything, he took advantage of the night to avoid everyone and enter the remote corner behind the apartment. He laid a thick cloth on a stone and poured out a gold-eating ants.

This ant has no elements, it is just used to practice.

The gold-eating ant was soaked in potion for a long time and had not eaten, so it was already half dead.

Renn raised the hammer with both hands, aimed, and smashed it with all his strength. With the help of the mobile phone gyroscope, all the strength in his body was concentrated on his hands and passed to the sledgehammer, which hit the gold-eating ant hard and accurately.

With a muffled bang, the gold-eating ant turned into a ball of rotten meat.

Renn took out the soul stone and approached the ant's corpse. A soul flew out quickly and injected it into the soul stone. Even though it was dark, he could clearly see that the demon soul in the soul stone was just pitch black and had no elements.

He put down the soul stone and thought to himself: "The critical time is here."

Carefully pour out the gold-eating ant with three elements. It was obviously better than the previous one and started crawling immediately, but the speed was slower.

Renne was a little nervous. This gold-eating ant was indeed different.

He spat a little saliva into his palms, rubbed his hands a few times, raised his hammer and smashed it hard again.

Bang!

After the muffled sound, Renn's hand received a recoil force, and the tiger's mouth was a little numb, and the hammer head was bounced open. The gold-eating ant was hit so hard, but it was not dead, but its body was a little broken, and six iron-like legs made white marks on the stone, splashing sparks.

"Damn, so hard!"

Ren was a little unbelievable. Seeing that the gold-eating ants were moving again, he quickly waved the hammer again, and while smashing it hard, he silently said in his heart: "Eighty, eighty, eighty..."

It seemed like it was smashing randomly, but under the control of the gyroscope, each hammer hit the gold-eating ant accurately without wasting any strength. Its body slowly deformed, and the upper legs and limbs separated, and it was hit by more than a dozen hammers in a row. Finally, it was smashed into a flat corpse with a puff.

Renn quickly threw away the hammer and used the soul stone to absorb the demon soul.

In his expectant gaze, a demon soul flew out and quickly filled the white crystal in his hand, turning into a dark and deep black gem. Three element runes could be vaguely seen flashing away. If it weren't for the soul's eyes, it would be difficult to find their existence.

"Success!"

Renne clenched his fist and almost jumped up excitedly.

This gold-eating ant will become its first demon soul and take a solid first step to the road to fighting wizards!

After being happy, Rennes packed up the soul stone, and then he found that the cloth laid on the ground had been smashed into pieces by himself, and the stones underneath had also cracked.

He quickly cleaned up the scene, threw the bodies of two gold-eating ants into the sewer, and brought the hammer back upstairs.

Bringing all the money, Renn left the apartment overnight.

Instead of returning to the Basil Hotel, he found an ordinary small hotel in Honeyton District, which is only a river from the Silver Star District. He first eavesdropped outside for half an hour and confirmed that there were no extraordinary people inside. Then he opened a room to move in.

It was not until the second midnight, when it was almost dawn that Rennes fell asleep.

After sleeping until almost noon, Rennes felt refreshed, had a delicious meal to fill his stomach, and then boarded the carriage to Violet House.

As long as you pass today and become an extraordinary person, you don’t have to worry so much anymore.

The carriage arrived smoothly.

As soon as Renn got out of the car and went in, she saw Talini was already waiting. She smiled and came forward and said, "Mr. Renn, good noon."

"Ms. Talini, can the ceremony be held today?"

"certainly."

Renn nodded, handed over the sixty gold shields prepared to the waitress at the front desk, and then followed Talini to the back of the Violet House and entered a spacious room.

Unexpectedly, half-elf Viola was also inside, and she was still wearing a simple robe and graceful figure.

Just standing there, she is like a glimmer of light that cannot be ignored.

"Ms. Viola." Renne greeted him with a strange look.

The soul transformation ritual can be performed alone, but it is best to have an experienced host, as the best person who can cast spells is the best. Talini is very suitable. I had agreed yesterday that Talini will help you with this soul transformation. If you want a better host, you have to pay more.

Viola smiled and said, "Mr. Rennes, Talini is still the ceremony today. I'm just here to watch. Don't you mind?"

"No." Ren was still a little puzzled.

As the boss of Violet House, Viola has seen the soul-transforming ceremony that she has seen. What's so good about it?

Considering that after the ceremony, I had to discuss purchasing the World Tree Seed with her, I could only suppress my doubts.

This room is specially used for soul transformation rituals. There is a platform like an operating table in the middle, which is engraved with a large number of runes, forming a complete magic array.

Next to the rune stand is a table with several things, namely a syringe, a tube of soul-eating potion and a white scroll.

"Mr. Rennes, if you are ready, just lie down."

Talini spoke calmly and tried to create a relaxed atmosphere to reduce stress for Rennes.

"OK."

Renn took off his coat and threw it away as he pretended to be casually. In fact, he had all his belongings inside, including all the money and the demon soul of the gold-eating ant.

He lay on the rune stand in his shirt, and Talini explained while tying her hands, feet and waist with a tough belt: "Because the ritual is too painful, to prevent you from struggling to consume your energy or falling off the rune stand, you must fix it."

Ren hesitated for a moment, thinking that he didn't need to fix his body, and after being tied up, he would be at his mercy.

He wanted to refuse, but in the eyes of the soul, Talini and Viola had no malice, so he accepted it.

After fixing, the whole body cannot move, and only the head can rotate left and right.

Talini picked up the scroll and recited a short spell. The scroll immediately unfolded, and light golden characters flew out from it and sank into Renne's forehead.

After being blessed with spiritual protection, Renne felt as if he had become calm inside, and had a special sense of security, but it seemed that nothing had changed.

Immediately afterwards, Talini activated the rune station with a magic crystal.

With a buzzing sound, Renn felt a little heat under him, and an indescribable energy enveloped his body, making him more sensitive to the outside world.

Talinie pulled the Soul-Eating Potion into the syringe and said seriously: "Mr. Renn, it's about to start."

Renn nodded slightly.

Then Talini pierced the needle of the syringe into his neck artery. Her hands were very stable. She did not inject all of them at once, but slowly pushed forward, and stopped after injecting one-third of the potion.

Renn had already learned that the amount of a soul-eating potion is about thirty milliliters.
