NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 484 Blood Sucking Attributes
Wang Tao was about to take others to check the spoils of war, but as soon as others approached, the sign of HP loss appeared above their heads again.
"...I almost forgot, even though the disaster-level creature is dead, its awakening still exists..."
Wang Tao and his group had encountered this situation when they last killed the Catastrophic Serpent.
However, after its death, the effect of the awakening weakened, only about one-tenth of what it had been during its life. With this degree of HP loss, with the Lan Yulian present, they could still bear it.
But for safety's sake, they swiftly collected the spoils of war, planning to inspect them more carefully later.
The power of the Exploding Heart was terrifying, directly blasting over six hundred thousand HP from the Catastrophe Rank Tree.
Wang Tao originally thought it would turn the area into ruins, but it did not. It only created two small pits on the Corpse of the Catastrophic Tree and the ground.
"So, this Exploding Heart has high damage, but a small range..."
Wang Tao silently thought to himself.
This situation had its advantages and disadvantages for him.
The disadvantage was that the blast range of the Exploding Heart was too small; it was unlikely to kill a large number of monsters with it.
But the advantage was that its small range made it less likely to affect himself. If he could get more Exploding Hearts in the future, he could be more at ease...
It's just that he didn't know when he could get another Exploding Heart.
Apart from the massive corpse of the Catastrophic Tree, the corpse of the Overlord Tree was not far, including various spoils of war.
After Wang Tao collected all the spoils of war, he looked at the two large tree corpses.
He had previously obtained an Awakening Seed, which he planned to plant on a fifth-rank lord. He wanted to see if there was any difference between using a fifth-rank lord and a fourth-rank lord as fertilizer.
But now that he had cleaned up the second layer, he temporarily couldn't find a fifth-rank lord, so he could only choose between these two large trees to use the Awakening Seed.
The body of a catastrophe-level may be very valuable for research, but with continuous HP loss, researchers definitely couldn't stand it.
So Wang Tao decided it was better to let this Catastrophic Tree be used for the Awakening Seed. As for the other tree's body... Wang Tao didn't let Lightning consume it immediately but briefly flipped through the spoils of war.
"Indeed!"
Among the spoils of war from this Catastrophic Tree was an [Awakening Seed]!
The previous Awakening Seed he had obtained was dropped by the Catastrophic Serpent. He felt that this Catastrophic Tree might also have one, and it truly did.
Then, the next steps were simple; planting both Awakening Seeds, one on the fifth-rank Overlord Tree and the other on the fifth-rank Catastrophic Tree.
Swish—
As soon as the seeds touched their bodies, they immediately took root, deeply embedding into the corpses of the large trees.
[Awakening Fruit Ripening Countdown: 4 days 23 hours 59 minutes]
[Awakening Fruit Ripening Countdown: 4 days 23 hours 59 minutes]
Unlike last time, this time the Awakening Fruit only needed five days to ripen, whereas last time it took seven.
Perhaps it was because of the increase in the level of the fertilizer? After all, it was fourth-rank last time and fifth-rank this time.
As for whether there would be any difference between the fruit grown from a fifth-rank lord and a fifth-rank disaster, Wang Tao did not know for now, he could only wait until it ripened to see. It was a good opportunity for comparison.
"Let's go, this second layer is small, I've explored it completely, let's go to the first layer. There's no other life here, nothing should affect the ripening of the Awakening Fruit."
"Alright."
Wang Tao and his group left the second layer.
Everyone felt relieved; the second layer had been too oppressive for them.
"Let's take a break."
Wang Tao found a spot to rest, and then finally had time to check the spoils of war.
He first looked at the spoils of war from the fourth-rank lord tree, which included three physical objects and four loot packs.
[Obtained: Fifth-Order Crystal Core - High Defense x1]
[Obtained: Awakening Energy Pearl x1]
[Obtained: Iron Fiend Wood x1]
A crystal core, an energy bead, and a crafting material. The physical spoils of war were just average.
Then Wang Tao looked at the loot packs.
The first loot pack contained five crystal cores, respectively the red [Fifth Order Crystal Core: Awakening], the orange [Fifth Order Crystal Core: Promotion], the red [Fifth Order Crystal Core: Omnipotence], the purple [Fifth Order Crystal Core: Mental Defense], and the blue [Fifth Order Crystal Core: Great Strength].
The second loot pack contained a secret key.
[Obtained: Awakening Key x1]
The third loot pack contained potions.
[Obtained: Antidote Potion x50]
Regardless of whether these mutated plants themselves were poisonous, they all dropped antidote potions, which was quite nice.
The last loot pack contained blueprints.
[Obtained: Ironwood Spear Blueprint x1]
[Ironwood Spear Blueprint: Can create a spear, required materials: Iron Fiend Wood x1, Fifth Order Crystal Core x1, Iron Block x50, Nails x50, Screws x50, Steel Wire x50]
[Ironwood Spear: Attributes unknown]
Seeing this spear, Wang Tao was slightly disappointed.
He had thought that since the mutated tree, like the trumpet flower, might drop a ranged attack weapon.
After all, the mutated tree was capable of ranged attacks; its kind of fruit exploding, the seeds inside conducted all-around indiscriminate attacks, which was quite impressive.
But unexpectedly, the weapon it dropped was a melee spear.
Wang Tao already had a melee weapon, and it was quite good. So, this spear was of little use to him.
Of course, even if he couldn't use it, others could, so it still had to be constructed.
Quickly, a spear appeared in Wang Tao's hand, all-black in color, seeming ordinary, but a full five meters long.
