Chapter 339 Awakening Fruit

“Chi——”

When the giant bird appeared, it was actually still far away.

But Wang Tao decisively let some people go first, and he and the people who could charge stayed to get the awakening fruit.

When the awakening tree collapsed and the awakening fruit was caught by them, Wang Tao felt a biting cold wind. He immediately asked people to charge and flee towards the cave.

Half a second after they rushed out, they heard a rumble and the ground shook.

Wang Tao didn't dare to look back and continued to run towards the cave.

But at some point, it seemed to be dark?

Everyone looked up and saw a pair of wings with a metallic luster, covering the sky and the sun!

“Charge!”

Boom!

Two giant claws as sharp as knives were inserted into the ground fiercely, the ground was lifted up, the dead tree burst, and the gravel flew.

In the chaos, Wang Tao and his men finally ran to the entrance of the cave. Another charge entered the depths of the cave.

"Chi——"

Boom——

The few people who had just entered the cave felt the light dim. Looking back, they saw a ferocious giant claw blocking the cave entrance.

But the cave was very deep, and it was obviously out of reach.

Wang Tao and his friends continued to run inside. They ran to the deepest part of the cave and could not hear any movement behind them. They breathed a sigh of relief.

"What the hell was that just now!"

Lan Yulian got off the minibus.

Fortunately, Wang Tao let them go first. If they were a few seconds later, the car would definitely be caught up.

"That is... a fifth-level lord monster!"

Wang Tao's face was serious.

This is a huge black-brown bird monster with a wingspan that covers the sky and the sun. It seems to have mutated from an eagle.

[Health: 300,000/300,000]

[Mana: 200,000/200,000]

[Level: Level 5 Lord]

[Awakening: Giant]

300,000 health, level 5 Lord, awakened giant, flying monster!

To be honest, Wang Tao might not be afraid of any of these four attributes.

But this is a combination!

300,000 health plus level 5 Lord is already scary enough! As a result, it also has a [Giant] awakening! Not only is the giant awakened, but it can also fly!

[Giant: Unlimited growth in size, all basic attributes are improved in all directions. The larger the size, the stronger the strength]

[Giant] is an awakening ability with no upper limit, and the size determines the strength.

The disaster-level black snake they killed together a few days ago was already big enough. But the cave of this black snake is barely as big as the claws of a giant eagle!

Wang Tao thinks that this is a "flying giant zombie", and it is level 5!

Wang Tao had no confidence that he could defeat it, even with Lan Yulian and the others.

To defeat a monster of this level, Wang Tao felt that there was only one possibility at present - mobilizing the legion and bombing it with their advanced weapons!

I heard that the legion also had heavy weapons such as missiles and even nuclear bombs. Under normal circumstances, such weapons would definitely not be used, but the lethality of this thing is definitely beyond doubt.

Wang Tao felt that this was the only way to kill this giant eagle at present. Of course, this risk is also very high - if it cannot be killed, it may evolve to be even more terrifying!

"A fifth-level lord monster?"

After hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone exclaimed.

But think about it carefully, the previous disaster-level black snake was not so terrifying, only the fourth level and above can have such momentum.

Wang Tao used [Plant Affinity] to feel it carefully. Although many grasses outside were destroyed, he could still feel that the giant eagle was still guarding outside. So he said:

"It's still outside, let's not go out yet, let's spend the night here today. As for tomorrow, let's see..."

Wang Tao originally planned to leave tomorrow morning, because by tomorrow morning, the night demon parasite experiment will have exceeded seven days. If the night demon cannot be hatched by then, then it really cannot be hatched.

But in this situation, Wang Tao is not sure how many days he will stay in the cave.

"Okay!"

Everyone naturally has no objection, the fifth-level lord is not what they can deal with now.

At this time, Wang Tao took out a plump and round awakening fruit with golden light.

I have been busy for so many days, just for it.

Swish——

Lightning, five black snakes, and Jiang Shixue all surrounded him instantly. They were even drooling.

After seeing the properties of the awakening fruit, Wang Tao finally understood why they all wanted to eat the awakening fruit so much.

[Awakening Fruit: The taste is extremely delicious and is loved by many creatures]

Looking at this introduction, does it mean that the awakening fruit is delicious? It makes people unable to stop?

However, the taste of the awakening fruit is not the point. The point is that it has 5 detailed properties-

[After eating by a third-level human, it can be promoted to the fourth level]

[After eating by a third-level non-human, there is a small probability of awakening]

[After eating by a third-level or higher human, 1 awakening key is added]

[After eating by a third-level or higher non-human, physical fitness is slightly increased]

[After eating by a third-level or lower creature, there is a high probability of exploding and dying]

The first four of these five properties of the awakening fruit are very strong-of course, to some extent, the last one is also very strong!

Let's look at the first property-after eating by a third-level human, it can be promoted to the fourth level!

So this means that no matter whether you have hidden attributes or awakening keys, as long as you eat this awakening fruit, you can awaken directly?

This is too perverted-wait!

Wang Tao looked at it carefully again.

What it says is "Three-level humans can be promoted to the fourth level after eating it". It only says "promoted to the fourth level", but it doesn't say "awakening"!

Generally speaking, being promoted to the fourth level means that you have awakened. If you don't awaken, you won't be able to advance.

But the problem is that the second attribute [after being eaten by third-level non-human beings, there is a small probability of awakening and being promoted to the fourth level] talks about awakening, but the first attribute does not talk about awakening!

In addition, Wang Tao also encountered some fourth-level ordinary and elite zombies. They were not awakened, but they were still promoted to fourth level!

Wang Tao looked back at the first attribute, and suddenly he had a new understanding - after eating this awakening fruit, third-level humans can be promoted to fourth level, but they will not awaken!

If we use the analogy of zombie monsters, people who awaken normally are "fourth-level lords", and people who eat the awakening fruit are "fourth-level elites"!

Wang Tao feels that his current understanding should be correct.

Because it would be more reasonable if that were the case.

After all, awakening requires "awakening secret key, 100,000 blood volume, hidden abilities, and superpowers".

If one "awakening fruit" can directly replace so many conditions, then these conditions seem to be meaningless.

But if the "awakening fruit" only breaks the "shackles of the third level" and simply promotes people from the third level to the fourth level, then it feels reasonable.

After all, monsters are divided into elites and lords. It is not surprising that humans have this difference...

Of course, even if the awakening fruit cannot directly awaken humans, it is still very powerful to advance to the fourth level.

Because for some people who have no hidden attributes and cannot awaken, the third level is their upper limit.

If they can be promoted to the fourth level, even if they are not awakened, they will definitely be stronger than the third level ones. This is naturally an improvement in strength! And in the future, he might be able to advance to the fifth level, or even the sixth level!

Therefore, for humans, especially humans who cannot awaken, this awakening fruit is definitely a good thing!

Then look at the second attribute - after being eaten by third-level non-human beings, there is a small probability of awakening and being promoted to fourth level.

"Non-human" should refer to beings like Lightning, Black Snake, and... Jiang Shixue.

Jiang Shixue's situation is a bit strange. Before she regained her memory, she was a zombie. After recovering her memory, although she no longer looked like a zombie, she still couldn't fuse the crystal core, and humans could fuse the crystal core. So there seems to be no problem with saying she is a "non-human"?

If non-human beings like them eat this awakening fruit, they have a small chance of awakening and advancing to the fourth level!

Wang Tao has never known how to awaken Jiang Shixue and Lightning. It turns out that the answer is here!

But we are talking about a small probability of awakening. How small is this small probability? Fortunately, there is no reminder on the Awakening Fruit that you can only eat one, so if you fail to awaken, you should be able to eat it all the time...

Of course, Wang Tao was not sure, so he would let Jiang Shixue give it a try and find out.

Speaking of this awakening, Wang Tao looked at the conditions again. It said "a small probability of awakening and promotion to the fourth level."

"Low probability of awakening" and "promoting to the fourth level" do not seem to have a progressive relationship. That means that after eating the Awakening Fruit, non-human beings will definitely be promoted to the fourth level, but they may not necessarily be awakened?

Wang Tao shook his head. The specific details can only be known after testing. But then again, Jiang Shixue has hidden attributes, so the probability of awakening should be relatively high...

Wang Tao looked at the third attribute - after being eaten by humans of level 3 or above, the awakening key will be increased by 1.

This is an attribute that Wang Tao can use, it is very strong!

After all, this is the secret key to awakening, and it can only be obtained by personally killing the fourth-level lord zombie. And more importantly, it doesn’t say anything about limiting the amount you can eat! Doesn't that mean that as long as you have enough awakening fruits in your hand, you can always get the secret key to awakening!

Of course, this awakening fruit seems to be difficult to obtain. Wang Tao only has 33 in total, so it is impossible for him to obtain the awakening key without limit.

Then there is the fourth attribute - after being eaten by non-human beings of level 3 or above, the physical constitution will be slightly increased.

I don’t know whether the giant eagle outside took a fancy to this attribute, or simply took a fancy to the deliciousness of the awakening fruit.

Although this attribute is slightly increased, it is a permanent attribute. If you add up, the improvement should be considerable...

The last attribute - after being eaten by creatures below level 3, there is a high probability that they will explode and die.

This attribute... can only be said to be very strong, but also very tricky.

Even a fool can see that the Awakening Fruit is a good thing. If it is accidentally eaten by someone below the third level, it may be immediately ruined. After all, this is a high probability! You’ll have to pay attention in the future.

…

After Wang Tao read the properties of the Awakening Fruit, he explained them to everyone.

Everyone was surprised to hear that the Awakening Fruit had so many functions.

Jiang Shixue looked at Wang Tao eagerly, she wanted to wake up.

Before, when she and Wang Tao were at the third level, she could often cooperate with Wang Tao.

But since the monsters became stronger and stronger and Wang Tao awakened, but she was still standing still, she was no longer able to cooperate with Wang Tao... She didn't like this feeling.

Feeling Jiang Shixue's gaze, Wang Tao suddenly smiled and said:

"Of course Xiaoxue has a share!"

Then he rubbed Lightning again and touched Xiao Hei.

"Including you—oh, yes, and you."

The Awakening Fruit has a great effect on "non-humans" like them, and Wang Tao will naturally not be stingy.

"But it's not appropriate now. After all, there is a monster outside. If you awaken, it will take a day and a night..."

Wang Tao himself can awaken twice, but he didn't dare to awaken here. For safety reasons, it is better to return to the city and awaken again.

And even if they all awaken, they are no match for the giant eagle outside.

"I understand!"

Jiang Shixue nodded. Lightning and Xiao Hei also rubbed against Wang Tao.

Wang Tao said to everyone:

"Let's have a good rest tonight and see if the bird will leave tomorrow."

"Okay!"

After dinner, Wang Tao arranged people to be on duty.

The duty is not only to prevent the giant eagle outside, but also to prevent the zombies tied with iron chains not far away, in case there are night demons hatched.

...

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, it was quiet outside. The giant eagle seemed to have left, but Wang Tao used plant affinity to detect and clearly "saw" that there was a huge monster standing on the mountain above his head.

"Have you been hiding from us all night?"

Wang Tao felt a little uncomfortable.

He looked at another hole deep in the cave, which was blocked tightly and there was no way to get through.

There was no choice but to wait.

But Wang Tao didn't just sit there and wait. The last time he killed the giant zombie, he got a lot of fourth-order crystal cores without superpowers, most of which were of low quality. He took this opportunity to nourish the [Iron Beetle].

After taking out 50 white crystal cores and a small amount of blue crystal cores, the health limit of the [Iron Beetle] finally increased to 100,000.

Now it is a complete iron beetle. Of course, even so, it is no match for the giant eagle, so let's wait.

Wang Tao went to see the seven zombies tied with iron chains again. It has been more than seven days since the test of the Night Demon parasite, but they still haven't turned into Night Demons. Obviously, the remaining seven Night Demon parasite eggs have failed.

That is to say, the probability of parasitism is about one-third.

Wang Tao still has eggs in his hand, so he should be able to let these zombies do experiments. However, with such a big threat outside, he didn't want to hatch the Night Demon. So, Wang Tao killed these zombies. Then he quietly waited for the opportunity to leave.

As a result, he waited for seven days.

During these seven days, Wang Tao could clearly sense that the giant eagle had changed many positions, but it was always nearby and within the detection range of Wang Tao's plant affinity.

If Wang Tao didn't have this ability, he might have really gone out. After all, there was no movement outside, and it looked really safe.

It can only be said that this giant eagle is very smart and even knows some tactics.

But unfortunately, Wang Tao can detect the existence of the giant eagle. As long as it doesn't leave, Wang Tao will definitely not go out.

Wang Tao suddenly felt that the 7 zombies were killed too early, and 7 days was enough to hatch a wave.

And with such a long time, Jiang Shixue and others can eat the awakening fruit, and he can even try to awaken again...

Of course, there is no regret medicine in the world, and Wang Tao is not really regretful, just complaining. After all, he had been waiting for the opportunity with all his strength, and had no time to do anything else.

As soon as the giant eagle left, he would slip away immediately. He didn't believe that the giant eagle could survive him!

Apart from anything else, he had a lot of nutrient solution on him, and he had time to consume it slowly. Anyway, the space in the cave was large, enough for daily life.

Just when Wang Tao was determined to compete with the giant eagle to see who could survive, Wang Tao suddenly couldn't feel the giant eagle's position in the early morning of that day.

"Huh? Gone?"

The giant eagle had flown before, but it fell down quickly, unlike this time when it disappeared for so long.

However, Wang Tao still did not relax his vigilance and continued to wait.

After more than an hour, Wang Tao still couldn't feel the giant eagle's figure again, and Wang Tao was suddenly a little excited.

The giant eagle seemed to have really left!

"I'll go out and take a look first, you wait for my news, it may evacuate at any time!"

Wang Tao felt that the giant eagle should really have left, unless the giant eagle had been circling in the sky and avoided the detection of plant affinity. If that's the case, then Wang Tao can only say that it's awesome, Wang Tao admits defeat...

Wang Tao came to the cave entrance carefully, searched inside and outside, and after confirming that there was no problem, he quietly walked out.

After coming out, Wang Tao immediately looked up at the sky.

The weather is good today, the sky is clear and cloudless. There is nothing in the sky.

Wang Tao quickly looked around again, and there were many traces of giant eagles, and many places were in a mess. But there was no giant eagle.

After confirming again and again that there was no giant eagle, Wang Tao immediately used the induction ring to say to Ding Yuqin:

"Sister-in-law, it's safe, you take people to retreat!"

Buzz--

Everyone had been ready for a long time, and after hearing Ding Yuqin's words, they immediately drove to the door.

When passing by Wang Tao, the car door opened, but the car almost didn't stop. Wang Tao quickly jumped into the car.

"Hurry, hurry!"

The minibus went at full speed.

Wang Tao used his perception ability to the fullest, while the others stared at the sky from all angles, monitoring the giant eagle while being afraid of seeing its figure.

Fortunately, no accidents happened until they ran to the outside of Changhe Base.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go into the city."

While queuing to enter the city, a lot of messages suddenly popped up on Wang Tao's information watch.

"Wang Tao, you should be safe, right? I'm sorry, I really didn't know the mushroom cave was so dangerous..."

"Mr. Wang, are you okay? If you come back safely, please be sure to contact me..."

"Mr. Wang, this is your share, please pay attention to check..."

"Mr. Wang? Aren't you back yet?"

"Mr. Wang..."

Wang Tao then remembered that they had been in the wild without Internet for more than half a month!

In the apocalypse, disappearing for a day means you are in danger. If it disappears for a week, it will basically be cool.

And they disappeared for more than half a month...

"Good guys, shouldn't we be kicked off the base?"
