Land of Bone.
Even though Dean McKenzie has already reached level 25, which granted him an additional quota to strengthen a skill or attribute, he chose to improve Doggy Eight instead.
It was the most rational decision he could make at the moment.
In reality, despite Dean defeating the hundred-strong Pigman squad single-handedly, he did not do so entirely because of his strength.
A significant reason was that the Pigman squad’s attributes were especially vulnerable to his abilities.
The entire Pigman squad was inclined towards defence and close combat.
When Dean first noticed these attributes, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Wasn’t this practically handing him the victory?
The opponents he feared the least were just like this squad.
Even when the Pigman Centurion unleashed his full defensive abilities, resulting in a defence of seven to eight hundred, he was a mere laugh in front of Bone Fang.
However, this did not mean that Dean had the power to easily eliminate any second-turn opponent.
In fact, if the Pigman squad had adjusted their attributes slightly, leaning more towards being agile and offensive, Dean would have been heavily suppressed.
In conclusion, as long as the opponent preferred pure defence and close combat, second-turn Dean could handle them.
Otherwise, Dean’s power was only at the normal second-turn standard.
At his present state of power, enhancing a skill or an attribute wouldn’t result in a qualitative leap that could help him sweep through the second-turn or enable him to directly charge into Tempest Woods. However, strengthening Doggy Eight would be a different story.
“Next, the power of Doggy Eight’s enhancement will determine whether we can reach the Tempest Woods!”
Dean immediately got busy while talking.
He didn’t extract from the hundred-man squad first, but had Doggy Two summon piles and piles of skeletons from the Land of Bone to be killed and then extracted.
To gather enough Spirit for Doggy Eight to learn the [Strong Stealth] skill, he sacrificed the fragile skeletons that he had managed to save up in Land of Bone over the past two months.
After extracting 500 times within thirty minutes, consuming almost all the water in the Land of Bone, Dean gained 120 attribute points.
Out of them, 5.1 attributes were Spirit.
After extracting, he allocated 5 points from his Spirit to Doggy Eight. [You have consumed 20 Silver Coins, you’ve assigned 5 points of Spirit attribute to [Doggy Eight], raising its Spirit attribute to 10 points!] [You’ve used 100 Silver Coins to bestow 25 Agility attribute points to [Doggy Eight], raising its Agility attribute to 145.5!]
[This subject’s attributes have temporarily reached the limit. Please level up the subject or enhance Talent Level!]
[Your Wraith Servant [Doggy Eight] has learned the skill [Strong Stealth] (Enhanced)!]
[You used the skill [Summon Skeleton] and activated [Doggy Eighths skill [Strong Stealth] for enhancement!]
Amid the flood of system notifications…
Dean finished extracting from the bodies of the Pighead Clan scattered all over the place.
From the bodies of a hundred level 40 elite pigmen along with a Centurion’s body, Dean extracted 757 points of Attribute Points.
100 Elite Essence and 1 Excellent Essence.
Meanwhile, he also managed to extract the Shadow Ghost.
This was key for Doggy Eight’s skill enhancement; it was absolutely critical.
After the extraction, Dean immediately killed it.
He swiftly completed the extraction and then incorporated its essence into the skill.
[You have spent 100 Silver Coins, integrated [Shadow Dweller] essence into [Strong Stealth] skill!]
[You’ve spent 807 Silver Coins, integrated 807 points of attributes into the [Strong Stealth] skill for enhancement and improved the skill effect!]
[You’ve spent 100 Silver Coins, combining [Defense Strengthen] essence into [Strong Stealth] skill!]
[You’ve employed 500 Silver Coins, merging 100 essences into the [Strong Stealth] skill!]
[Your Wraith Servant’s skill [Strong Stealth] has been fully enhanced!]
Skill: Strong Stealth (One-time Enhancement)

Duration: 1 Spirit Power/ second (Entering Shadow Dwelling state can avoid consumption)
Cooldown: 30 minutes! (Cannot be used again within 30 minutes after the skill ends!)
Looking at the created enhanced skill, Dean couldn’t help sucking in a breath.
The slight pride that had risen after annihilating the pigmen squad instantly disappeared.
Especially after Dean tried to have Doggy Eight activate [Strong Stealth] and come near him, his previous sense of security suddenly vanished.
When Doggy Eight approached him after entering stealth, Dean felt strange.
On the one hand, he had activated his sensing ability through meditation due to being near a water source, enabling him to cover a radius of nearly a hundred meters with his spirit.
His spiritual senses could not detect Doggy Eight’s traces.
However, the soul link between him and Doggy Eight told him that Doggy Eight was less than one meter behind him.
This bizarre feeling gave Dean goosebumps.
“This means that my proud spiritual sense is useless in front of a truly powerful assassin.”
Moreover, Doggy Eight can do more than just stealth.
Although it can only burst out once every 30 minutes, the damage it deals in that instance of burst is more than a thousand.
If it suddenly attacked me, there would be no chance of survival for me!”
In short, the enhancement of Doggy Eight directly enhanced Dean’s sense of insecurity.
At the same time, elsewhere, the pigmaid, who had been completely puzzled by Dean’s behavior, watched as he finished his work.
At first, she had no idea what Dean was trying to do.
But when Doggy Eight completed skill enhancement and used [Strong Stealth], she was left completely dumbstruck.
She was familiar with the [Strong Stealth] skill that Doggy Eight learned.
But the moment Doggy Eight used Strong Stealth, she instantly realized that this was not merely Strong Stealth.
It was far more terrifying that Strong Stealth.
Even when she knew that Doggy Eight had entered stealth, she couldn’t discover him, let alone sense any abnormality.
She was aghast that he had conjured up such a skeleton out of nowhere.
The Pigmaid suddenly discovered that the man in front of her was more complicated than she had imagined.
She even felt that her princess, with her blind eyes, seemed to have seen something.
At least, after Dean had created this skeleton, their hope of reaching the Tempest Woods had greatly increased.
Elsewhere, Dean, having handled his emotions, gave Doggy Eight an order. “Doggy Eight, go check out the situation outside, scout it out!”
Then, while Doggy Eight was out scouting, Dean began to inventory the items dropped by the Pigman squad..
