Chapter 505: Lucky
From the sixth meteorite emerged an insect clan monster resembling a centipede, but it had a hooked tail.
[HP: 300,000/300,000]
[Mana: 200,000/200,000]
[Level: Level 5, Lord]
[Internal Impurity: 50%]
[Awakening: Explosive Poison Needle]
[Explosive Poison Needle: launches poison needles, causing massive damage]
Most insect clan monsters are poisonous, the carapaced monster just now was an exception.
This centipede monster was poisonous, and it was the Poison System Awakening Wang Tao had seen before.
"It will launch poison needles, be careful," he warned briefly before swiftly moving behind the centipede monster.
He picked up his spear and stabbed its carapace.
Pfft!

[Curse: Execute]
"..."
Wang Tao had just mentioned that the previous insect clan monster was unlucky to be hit by the Cursed Kill on the second attack. Unfortunately, this one was even more pitiful, rarely did it get hit by the Cursed Kill on the first attack.
That was equivalent to Wang Tao poking out a hundred thousand blood.
Hiss—
The centipede monster let out a piercing scream, its sharp tail, as if it had eyes, twisted its body and came in front of Wang Tao.
Wang Tao easily dodged the tail attack, but the poisonous hook on its tail suddenly detached from the body and shot directly towards the back of Wang Tao's head.
Had it been someone else, they might have been hit, but Wang Tao, who was already aware of its abilities and monitoring the surroundings with his spiritual power, dodged this treacherous strike and stabbed it fiercely again.
[-82,734]
[Curse: Bleeding]
Although this centipede monster also had a shell, it clearly did not have as high a defense as the carapaced insect just now. With two strikes from Wang Tao, it was left with less than half its HP.
And all this happened in a very short time; the body of the centipede monster had only just turned to face Wang Tao.
At the moment it turned its head, Wang Tao threw his spear, and beams of light shot from both eyes.
[-61,823]
[-12,541]
[-12,432]
[-55,633]
[0/300,000]
Boom—
The body of the centipede monster stiffened, then fell to the ground thunderously.
"Is it over?"
Talking about the fight seemed lengthy, but from the moment Wang Tao released the monster to when he slew it, it only took thirty seconds.
Everyone else was still on guard for the centipede monster's sneak attacks, but Wang Tao had already finished the fight? His speed at hunting Level 5 lords was getting faster each time!
Everyone was amazed; Wang Tao's expression remained unchanged.
This centipede monster had low defensive power and was not fast. Killing it was naturally straightforward.
Wang Tao quickly collected the spoils of war.
The centipede monster dropped 3 physical spoils and 3 loot packs, as stingy as the previous carapaced monster.
[Received: Fifth-Order Crystal Core: Mental Defense x1]
[Received: Venomous Tail x1]
[Received: Strange Poison Sac x1]
Besides dropping a crystal core and materials, the centipede also dropped a strange poison sac. This item was quite good; with luck, it might grant a hidden attribute.
As for the spoils packs, they were similar to those of the carapaced monster.
Apart from a crystal core gift bag and a secret key, there were blueprints.
[Received: Blueprint for Venomous Scimitar x1]
[Blueprint for Venomous Scimitar: requires the following materials to craft a scimitar: Venomous Tail x1, Level 5 Crystal Core x1, Iron Block x50, Nails x50, Rubber x50, Screw x50, Steel Wire x50]
[Venomous Scimitar: Attribute slot]
Wang Tao immediately gathered materials to start crafting.
A moment later, a silver scimitar shaped like a crescent moon appeared in his hands.
[Venomous Scimitar]
[Fifth Order (Excellent)]
[Durability +120, Attack power +120, attacks carry poison effect (Poison effect requires awakening energy)]
The attributes of this weapon were decent; in addition to 120 attack power, it also had additional poison damage. It could be given to a teammate for use.
"Woof~"
At that moment, Lightning barked at Wang Tao.
It was asking if it could eat the insect clan's corpse since it didn't get a chance to eat the previous one.
"Okay—wait a minute!"
Wang Tao was about to agree, but there were still some meteorites unopened, what if another Silver Beetle appeared?
Although the chances were small, it was still possible.
"Let's wait until I've opened all the meteorites."
Wang Tao patted Lightning on the head and then continued to open meteorites.
Inside the seventh meteorite was a junk crystal core, a loss.
The eighth meteorite contained an Ascension crystal core, a win.
The ninth meteorite held a dagger with very different attributes, a break-even.
The tenth meteorite again held a junk crystal core.
"Can't another Silver Beetle appear..."
Wang Tao muttered and then opened the eleventh meteorite; suddenly a silver figure burst out, which Wang Tao grabbed with one hand.
His expression immediately turned a bit awkward.
"Actually, there was one..."
Another Silver Beetle!
"Then you won't get to eat this corpse, I'll make it up to you later!"
Wang Tao rubbed Lightning's head, and Lightning, understanding, rubbed against Wang Tao's leg.
After reactivating the Silver Beetle, Wang Tao let it eat the insect clan corpse they had just omn.
With two Silver Beetles, once proficiently controlled, it was like having two real Level 5 combat forces.
Even without relying on Wang Tao, his team could still unleash a terrifying combat power!
If it were night, or in an environment like the Rift, Ding Yuqin and the others had many Level 5 Night Demon hearts and one Level 6 Night Demon heart in their hands... the combat power would be even more exaggerated!
Once this Silver Beetle had consumed the corpse, Wang Tao handed it over to Lan Yulian and the others.
"This Silver Beetle is for you all now, you can take turns using it."
"Okay!"
The others did not refuse; they knew with Wang Tao's current combat power, he didn't need this thing, and it might even hold him back.
