Chapter 186 Zombie Fish

Yang Changhong was reluctant to travel at night, but there was no way out, the Night Demon appeared.

Although Wang Tao showed his power and solved a Night Demon. But everyone knows that Night Demons are zombies that live in groups. If one Night Demon appears, there will probably be other Night Demons in the future.

Although Wang Tao looked very relaxed in solving this Night Demon, since Wang Tao was allowed to go, she naturally couldn't ask Wang Tao to solve other Night Demons. It is estimated that Wang Tao's ability to transform into a monster is limited, and it is not as easy as it seems...

"Wang Tao, are you all okay?"

Yang Changhong's concerned words rang out in the car intercom.

"It's okay."

"It's good that you're okay..."

Because they were running for their lives, Yang Changhong didn't talk much, although she wanted to ask.

The convoy quickly left the town and headed towards the next destination.

In the car, Wang Tao looked at the entangled tree roots on his wrist and grinned.

This was his first time using entangled tree roots to fight. I can only say that this third-level weapon is really awesome!

Since Wang Tao's mana and abilities have not been improved much, his current strength has not reached his personal peak, but his overall strength should be considered the top among the second-level ones. So he thinks that with his own strength, he can probably deal with the third-level Night Demon. But it is definitely not as easy as using the entangled tree roots!

Without using the entangled tree roots, he is at most the peak of the second-level strength, and may be able to single out the third-level elite Night Demon.

And using the entangled tree roots, he is directly the third-level strength! Can suppress the Night Demon throughout the whole process!

No wonder the entangled tree roots are called third-level weapons, it turns out that they can exert the third-level strength!

However, it is not enough to have only the entangled tree roots, and the person wearing it must be powerful. If the person is not good, then the third-level strength will definitely not be exerted. After all, the blood volume of the entangled tree roots is limited. If it is consumed all the time, it will definitely be exhausted to death.

Speaking of the defensive power of the entangled tree roots, it is indeed powerful. The attack of the Night Demon hit it, and only deducted more than 100 blood. This is nothing for its 10,000 HP.

As for the attack bonus, it goes without saying. When hitting a level 3 elite Night Demon, one punch can hit more than 3,000 HP! Less than ten punches can kill a Night Demon! This is definitely the moment when Wang Tao has the highest damage!

And Wang Tao knows very well that this is not the upper limit of the entangled tree roots, it can increase to 100,000 HP!

At that time, Wang Tao attacked the entangled tree roots with 100,000 HP, but he couldn't hit it at all...

At this time, the HP of the entangled tree roots has been restored.

However, this is not the HP it restored by itself, but Wang Tao transferred his own HP to it.

The entangled tree roots seem to have no HP recovery ability, or the HP recovery is very slow. After Wang Tao saw that its HP bar had not moved much, he nourished it with his own HP bar.

It only lost more than 200 HP in total, and Wang Tao replenished its HP with a little nourishment. As for the price, Wang Tao consumed the same amount of HP. But this is not a problem, Wang Tao used the barrier ability to restore his HP to full.

So this is equivalent to, after a battle, only some of Wang Tao's physical strength and mana were consumed - oh, no! There is one thing that I forgot to count.

Wang Tao looked at the compatibility of the entangled tree roots. After this not-so-intense battle, the 100% compatibility became 90%!

In other words, the price of killing this night demon was a second-order crystal core? After all, the second-order crystal core can increase the compatibility by 10%...

This price is affordable for Wang Tao. Although the night demon has no crystal core in his mind, Wang Tao will definitely not lose out with the spoils package.

Wang Tao studied the entangled tree roots again and tried to use his own blood to restore the compatibility. Then he found that using his own blood to restore the compatibility was a bit slow, and the blood consumption was not low. 10% used up 1000 of his blood. He didn't consume that much blood to kill the Night Demon...

But this also gave Wang Tao some detailed information about the entangled tree roots-

The entangled tree roots now have 10,000 blood. If Wang Tao uses his own blood to nourish them, the ratio is 1:1. Wang Tao can use the same amount of his own blood to replenish the amount of blood that the entangled tree roots lack.

This blood replenishment can be replaced by crystal cores. Wang Tao tried it. The first-level crystal core can replenish 100 blood, so the second-level crystal core should be 1,000 blood, and the third-level crystal core 10,000 blood.

Then there is the degree of fit. If the degree of fit is 100% and it is improved by crystal cores, 1 third-level crystal core, 10 second-level crystal cores, or 100 first-level crystal cores are needed.

Of course, this can also be replaced by one's own blood. Wang Tao tried it. Every 1% increase in fit requires 100 blood of Wang Tao. Then 100% fit is 10,000 HP...

Wang Tao suddenly felt that he was losing out by using the crystal core to improve the fit? After all, he could recover his HP...

But after thinking about it carefully, it was not a loss.

Because the fit is slower to recover with one's own HP, it is best to have a safe environment. If it swallows the crystal core, it will be fully recovered soon.

And the HP is Wang Tao's life. Although Wang Tao has nearly 30,000 HP, if he loses 10,000 HP, even if he has no wounds, he will definitely feel very uncomfortable...

So his comprehensive conclusion is -

But if the blood lost by the entangled tree roots is more, the fit is more reduced, then it is more appropriate to use the crystal core to supplement.

If the blood lost by the entangled tree roots is small and the compatibility is small, you can use your own blood to replenish it, provided that he has the ability to restore blood. If you are a person who does not have the ability to restore blood, you should just use the crystal core...

After Wang Tao increased the fit of the entangled tree roots to 100% and replenished his health to 10,000, Wang Tao finally had time to look at his loot.

The Night Demon zombie he killed this time had 30,000 blood, so his gain was similar to that of the Night Demon zombie he killed before.

His blood volume has not increased because it has reached the upper limit. But the special energy has increased by 6000! I only used 5,000 before, so I just made up for it.

Then there are the loot packages, three packages in total.

The first one is the crystal core gift pack, which contains four crystal cores, and this crystal core is basically the same as the third-level elite night devil that was killed before, but the quality is slightly different.

[Level 3 Crystal Core·Promotion]

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 40% (Side Effects: None)]

The first one is the promotion core. Counting this, he has three third-level promotion cores, but the probability of this core is a bit lower. If you want your promotion to be more secure, you still have to improve your quality...

[Third-order crystal core·Energy boost]

[Quality: Excellent (40%)]

[Purity: 40% (Side Effects: None)]

[Energy boost: Increase the upper limit of blue energy by 1000]

The second one is an energy-boosting crystal core. Last time it was of excellent quality, this time it is of fine quality.

[Level 3 crystal core·increased blood volume]

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 40% (Side Effects: None)]

[HP increase: Increase the upper limit of HP by 1000]

The third core is a health-increasing core. This time the quality is higher than last time.

[Third-order crystal core·Physique improvement]

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

[Purity: 40% (Side Effects: None)]

[Physique improvement: Physical fitness is improved in all aspects]

The fourth one is a physique-improving crystal core. Last time the physique-improving core was epic, this time it is outstanding.

Except for the promotion core, the other three cores all have passive abilities. Wang Tao had thought before that since they are similar to passive abilities, the probability of synthesis should be quite high. If these three abilities could be combined into one, it would definitely be a very powerful ability!

However, Wang Tao doesn't have much special energy right now, so he can't get it for the time being. After all, the synthesis of a third-level superpower requires 20,000 special energy...

The second loot package contains a potion.

[Strength Growth Potion*5]

[Agility Growth Potion*5]

[Spiritual Growth Potion*5]

Also the same as last time, there are a total of 15 bottles of potions that permanently increase attributes.

[Strength Growth Potion: After injection, your strength will be permanently increased to a certain extent]

[Agility Growth Potion: After injection, agility will be permanently increased to a certain extent]

[Spiritual Growth Potion: After injection, the spirit will gain a certain degree of permanent increase]

Without saying anything, Wang Tao took out these medicines and injected himself. After a while, Wang Tao felt stronger again!

Then Wang Tao looked at the third package.

[High-power UV flashlight*1]

[Small UV Flares*20]

Still the same as last time, a flashlight and 20 rounds of flares.

After seeing these trophies, Wang Tao suddenly had an idea.

With his current strength, there is basically no problem in dealing with a single Night Demon. If Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun are added to the mix, then there is probably a chance to deal with the two night demons.

The Night Demon is a third-level zombie, and the reward for killing it is tripled! Whether it's special energy, crystal nuclei, or potions, these are all things Wang Tao wants very much!

Then if Wang Tao deliberately controlled himself at the second level and did not upgrade to the third level for the time being, and then went to hunt the third level night demons crazily and get three times the reward, wouldn't he be able to get a lot of crystal cores and potions? !

Wang Tao felt that this plan... seemed feasible!

Of course, he doesn't need to control it now. He has no way to reach the third level in the first place. As for hunting the Night Demons... The difficult thing for him now is not how to kill the Night Demons, but how to find the lone Night Demons! In other words, how to seduce the Night Demon... This is something he will have to study carefully in the future.

…

The next day, early morning.

The convoy stopped by a lake.

"After running around all night, everyone is not in good spirits. We need to rest..."

Yang Changhong said to Wang Tao on the intercom.

This lake is next to the national highway. If anything happens, the car can run directly on the national highway.

"good."

Wang Tao naturally has no problem.

After everyone simply arranged the defense facilities, they quickly started to catch up on their sleep.

The energy of the second-level superpowers was relatively strong, and Wang Tao, Yang Changhong and the other three were in good spirits, so they came to take charge.

Yang Changhong looked at Wang Tao, hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just think you are... very powerful!"

Yang Changhong originally wanted to ask Wang Tao what the power was that turned him into a monster last night, and why he, a second-level superpower, was able to defeat the second-level night demon without the ability to fight back... But after thinking about it, she decided I don’t want to ask anymore.

So what if she knew? Can't compare, just can't compare.

Yang Changhong has always been a proud person, and she does have the capital to be proud. Whether it was before the end of the world, she seized the opportunity in business and soared to the sky. Or after the end of the world, she led many employees to escape successfully... This can kill countless people in seconds.

But since she met Wang Tao, she found that her pride was almost hit.

With such a strong teammate, she was indeed very relieved. Wang Tao did save them many times.

But she was still a little confused. She felt that only a strong man like Wang Tao could survive in the end of the world, and ordinary people like her would die in the hands of zombies one day.

Since everyone is destined to die, what's the point of struggling to live?

Wang Tao looked at Yang Changhong, whose eyes were gradually confused, and frowned.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I just feel... so powerless."

Yang Changhong smiled bitterly.

"Powerless?"

Wang Tao didn't know that she was hit by herself. After all, normal people don't have the mind to think about these things. It's good to be able to live safely!

Wang Tao guessed that Yang Changhong must have felt a little powerless after seeing the strength of Night Demon.

He reached out and patted Yang Changhong on the shoulder.

"Don't be discouraged. Although zombies are strong, we humans are not weak either. We are smart. Didn't you see those inhibitors, mechanical arms, etc.? Even though it is the end of the world, we humans still haven't given up. I believe that the final victory will definitely belong to us!"

Wang Tao's words are not nonsense. He really thinks that humans have the possibility of victory. Judging from the things in the airdrop, everyone has never given up and is even making progress.

For example, Xu Xiaojun's mechanical arm, with this thing, he can basically defeat most of the second-level zombies.

If there are more similar things in the future, and even a drug to remove the zombie virus is developed, then even if the zombies evolve quickly, what does it matter? Humans are not without the power to fight!

"Well, you are right."

Although Wang Tao's comfort did not comfort the point, Yang Changhong still felt very warm. Her decadent mood also improved a lot.

Then she suddenly smiled and said:

"So when do you think I can be as strong as you?"

"As strong as me?" Wang Tao thought seriously for a while, and then said, "At least I have to wait until I am ten or twenty times stronger than I am now."

"...I'm sleepy, I want to sleep for a while. Please take care of everyone, thank you!"

Yang Changhong didn't want to talk to Wang Tao. After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Wang Tao to reply, and immediately lay on the grass in a big letter shape like a salted fish.

Wang Tao was a little speechless. He was not sleepy just now, but he was sleepy again in the blink of an eye. This woman is not telling the truth.

Shaking his head, Wang Tao came to Jiang Shixue.

"Xiaoxue, let's go fishing."

"Okay~"

Wang Tao still had the fishing tools he had before, although he was still missing a fishing rod, but it was not a big problem. There were some steel pipes for making defense facilities in Yang Changhong's fleet, which could be used.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue quickly got the fishing rod ready.

Then he sat by the lake and officially started fishing. Not long after, he felt something bite the hook.

Wang Tao found the right opportunity and pulled it quickly.

A huge black shadow was pulled out of the water by him.

"Haha, there's a big guy - damn!"

Wang Tao was very happy at first, but when he saw the specific appearance of the fish, his face suddenly turned black.

This is a zombie fish!

[Health: 6000/6000]

[Mana: 2000/2000]

[Level: Level 2 Elite]

[Status: No water source, 90% weak]

It's a level 2 elite!

Looking at this zombie fish that is the size of a human, rotten all over, and with strange light flashing in its eyes, Wang Tao picked up the fire axe at his waist without saying a word, and banged it twice.

The zombie fish's health bar was instantly cleared, and it died directly, and a trophy package exploded at the same time.

Xu Xiaojun, who was on guard not far away, noticed the movement here and ran over quickly. He thought Wang Tao had caught a big fish, but when he saw it, his face was a little confused.

"Ah, this..."

It was the first time he saw a zombie fish.

"It's a zombie fish, and it's a second-level one..."

Wang Tao also saw it for the first time. He quickly smashed the fish head open and saw a white crystal core inside.

[Second-level crystal core·breathing in water]

[Quality: Ordinary (20%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effect: part of the body will grow fish scales)]

[Breathing in water: Passive ability, evolve gills, can breathe freely in water]

When Wang Tao saw the ability of this crystal core for the first time, he thought it was awesome. Breathing in water! Evolved directly from a land animal to an amphibian!

But after seeing this side effect and specific ability, Wang Tao was speechless.

The side effect is that the body will grow fish scales, which is hard to accept. However, he can remove the side effect by synthesizing the crystal core,

but the ability to breathe in water requires the growth of gills, which is not a side effect and he cannot remove it.

He doesn't want to become a monster with gills, so this crystal core is destined to be out of reach for Wang Tao.

As for the package that this zombie fish exploded, it was a potion that I had never seen before.

[Obtain: Breath-holding potion*5]

[Breath-holding potion: can hold breath in water for ten minutes, cooling time 1 hour]

The potion is not bad. You can run into the water to hide from zombies at critical moments, provided that there are no zombies in the water.

"Xiaojun, come fishing. If you catch a fish, kill it yourself. These fish will lose strength after landing, so it is easy to kill them."

Xu Xiaojun will add blood when killing zombie fish. Wang Tao's blood is full, so this opportunity is given to Xu Xiaojun.

"Okay!"

Xu Xiaojun was a little excited. This is a rare opportunity!

Wang Tao went to Yang Changhong again, and he found that Yang Changhong was really asleep. So he patted her face.

"Hmm..."

Yang Changhong woke up in a daze.

She is an absolute beauty. Although her skin is a little rough now, her facial features are very beautiful. This confused look is very different from her previous image of a big sister, but it has a different flavor.

"Don't you want to be as strong as me? Here comes the opportunity."

There are too many fish here, and Xu Xiaojun can't catch them all by himself. He has to call other people to come together, so as not to waste them.

"Ah?"

After seeing the details, Yang Changhong finally realized the meaning of an old saying - A blessing in disguise!
