Chapter 522: Chapter 225: Taking Zijin Base_1
Everyone ran back to the building.
“No zombies are chasing us, they’ve gone back… Little Xue, go take care of them!”
Seeing only a few scattered zombies following them, Wang Tao ordered Jiang Shixue.
“Okay!”
Jiang Shixue’s spirit had not been greatly affected; she set down Nie Siyan and retraced her steps, quickly dispatching all the pursuing zombies.
“Ahem, Brother Wang, I’m sorry…”
Nie Siyan spoke somewhat embarrassed.
She hadn’t expected the mental shock from the zombie to be so strong that even she, being Level 3, could barely withstand it… she almost ended up being a hindrance.
“Brother Wang, I’ve been a drag…”
Xu Xiaojun scratched his head, feeling embarrassed as well.
“It’s okay, as long as the outcome is good. And that zombie’s mental attack really was strong. I almost couldn’t withstand it either. You guys just rest up.”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
After a mental attack, one’s head would feel very uncomfortable, and there might even be some aftereffects. Get a good night’s sleep, let your mind empty, and you’ll feel much better.
“Got it!”
The two didn’t try to act tough and immediately went to rest. Their heads really were still bothering them.
Wang Tao then started to tally the loot.
Killing this stitched zombie brought Wang Tao a total of 14400 special energy. It was the most he had ever gained from killing a single zombie. His total special energy had also reached 135,000.
“Big brother, here~”
At this moment, Jiang Shixue handed Wang Tao the Crystal Core she took out from the zombie’s head.
[Level 3 Crystal Core – Mental Defense]
[Quality: Epic (100%)]
[Purity: 40% (Side effect: reduced defense)]
[Mental Defense: Passive Ability, increases mental defensive power]
“Eh?”
Surprised at the attribute of this Ability, Wang Tao was somewhat taken aback.
He hadn’t expected the zombie to have a mental defense ability, no wonder its defense was low!
And this mental defense was an ability that Wang Tao needed! If he had this ability, he would be much more at ease when dealing with zombies capable of mental attacks in the future!
However, speaking of which, this stitched zombie was quite unlucky. Its mental defense ability was completely useless against Wang Tao and his group—because none of them could perform mental attacks.
In addition to the Crystal Core, the insides of the stitched zombie also contained plenty of Zombie Culture Fluid, which Wang Tao had all collected at the time.
[Gained: Zombie Culture Fluid x44745]
“So much Zombie Culture Fluid… Little Xue won’t be short on it later…”
Apart from using it on Jiang Shixue, Wang Tao didn’t know what else this substance could be used for.
Though speaking of Zombie Culture Fluid, Wang Tao had originally thought that the progenitor would be a Four-level zombie. According to his previous experience, Level 3 zombies shouldn’t be able to cultivate other Level 3 zombies—yet it indeed was a Level 3 progenitor zombie!
Wang Tao suspected that the progenitor zombie must have undergone some mutation, or some accidental event had occurred…
Wang Tao looked towards the Loot Packs, totaling four.
Inside the first Crystal Core Gift Bag, there were a blue [Level 3 Crystal Core – Ascension], a purple [Level 3 Crystal Core – Omnipotent], a purple [Level 3 Crystal Core – Perception], a blue [Level 3 Crystal Core – Mental Attack], and an orange [Level 3 Crystal Core – Bloodline Inheritance].
Apart from the last one, all were Crystal Cores Wang Tao had seen before.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Especially Perception and Mental Attack, these two Abilities were among Wang Tao’s favorites.
He now had three Perception Crystal Cores, although one was Level Two and not yet able to be synthesized.
He also had two Mental Attacks; if he could get one more, that would be even more perfect.
The attributes of the last Core, however, raised Wang Tao’s eyebrows.
He knew there had to be a reason the zombie could cultivate Level 3 zombies, and here it was!
[Level 3 Crystal Core – Bloodline Inheritance]
[Quality: 100% (Epic)]
[Purity: 40% (Side effect: none)]
[Bloodline Inheritance: Can transfer part of one’s own strength to others, up to the limit of one’s own strength (one’s own strength will not be permanently reduced, but it takes time to recover)]
This Ability was interesting, as it could transfer one’s strength to others. But what did “strength” specifically refer to? HP? Mana? Physical condition? Ability? Or something else?
Just by looking at the Core, it’s not apparent. To find out exactly what it is, one would need to experience it personally.
But what was certain was that the zombie’s ability to cultivate other Level 3 zombies was definitely related to this Ability!
The second pack contained Potions and Blueprints.
[Gained: Mental Boosting Potion x20]
[Gained: Mental Potion (Small) x10]
[Gained: Mental Potion (Small) Recipe x1]
Wang Tao had seen the Mental Boosting Potion before, but it was his first time seeing the Mental Potion (Small).
[Mental Potion (Small): After injection, increase mental strength by 10%-100% (the stronger the spirit, the greater the increase), lasts for 1 minute, with a 12-hour cooldown]
[Mental Potion (Small) Blueprint: Once learned, one can make 5 Mental Potion (Small) each time. Required materials: Psychic Mushroom x1, Zombie Crystal Core x1, Purified Water 100ml, Food 10 Kcal]
The effects of the Mental Potion seemed good, similar to the Strength Potion and Defense Potion. Plus, with the blueprint, once learned, it could be made continuously!
Wang Tao used all of the Mental Boosting Potions, and then learned the blueprint for the Mental Potion. He didn’t have Psychic Mushrooms now, but he would eventually.
The third Loot Pack contained more Zombie Culture Fluid.
[Gained: Zombie Culture Fluid x10000]
