Chapter 1265: Chapter 521 Dark Blood Great Wing_2

Of course, being able to fly was already great, and Wang Tao wasn’t picky.

He immediately took out a large number of Level 4 Crystal Cores and raised the energy limit of the Dark Blood Great Wings to one thousand, then he removed the Flying Bee Wings he had previously equipped.

This type of winged equipment could be retracted when not in use, usually invisible, manifesting only when needed.

The mechanism had its pros and cons. The upside was that it wouldn’t hinder one’s movements in daily life, as having a pair of large wings could be inconvenient at times, like lying down to sleep... The downside was, if the flight energy ran out, the wings would retract immediately. If you were in the air and the energy depleted, you’d fall straight down, so gliding like a Golden Eagle with wings outstretched wasn’t possible.

Wang Tao silently reminded himself to be mindful of the flight energy in the future and not to use it all up at once.

While pondering, Wang Tao had already equipped the Dark Blood Great Wings.

With a thought, a pair of huge wings instantly appeared, even making some whooshing noises.

Wang Tao felt that if there were people around him, they would probably be sliced in half by the massive wings...

With a whoosh, Wang Tao flapped the wings and lifted off the ground.

Having had the experience of controlling the Flying Bee Wings, Wang Tao quickly got the hang of it, and after flying around in the sky for a while, he discerned the distinct characteristics of the Flying Bee Wings and the Dark Blood Great Wings.

The Flying Bee Wings were relatively slower in speed and had no attacking ability, but they were very agile, able to dart about like an actual bee.

The Dark Blood Great Wings, however, were much faster. This wasn’t just a 20% increase—since the wings were inherently fast and then received an additional 20%, their actual flight speed was double that of the Flying Bee Wings!

And the Dark Blood Great Wings had attacking ability. Wang Tao had just tried it out; he flew into a dead forest and didn’t need to dodge the trees—everything touched by the wings was cleaved in two!

But the Dark Blood Great Wings also had their drawbacks; they were less flexible than the Flying Bee Wings, and their flying style was different, requiring more skill. And although it was said to be fast, that referred to its maximum speed; at the initial stages of flight, it was slower than the Flying Bee Wings.

Of course, these minor flaws couldn’t overshadow its many advantages, not to mention its size and cool appearance.

"I’ll use the Dark Blood Great Wings from now on. As for the Flying Bee Wings... I think they’ll suit Lan Yulian better."

Wang Tao muttered to himself while stroking his chin.

Lan Yulian was a powerful healer, and if she could fly, she would be an airborne powerhouse of a healer! Simply overflowing with a sense of security!

"Woof~"

At that moment, Lightning barked at Wang Tao’s feet.

"I forgot to tell you, go ahead and eat!"

Wang Tao slapped his forehead, hurriedly landed, and rubbed Lightning’s head.

He had said that after checking the spoils of war and ensuring that the Bat Monster’s corpse was of no use, he’d let Lightning consume it. However, he had been preoccupied with testing the Dark Blood Great Wings and had forgotten to tell Lightning. And Lightning, always obedient, wouldn’t eat without permission.

"Woof~"

Lightning immediately opened its mouth wide, and like a black hole, it swallowed the Bat Monster’s corpse.

"Let’s go, now that everything’s done here, we’re heading home."

After seeing Lightning swallow and its HP increase, Wang Tao immediately beckoned.

However, Lightning ran to Wang Tao and flopped into his arms.

"Huh?"

Wang Tao, surprised and delighted, saw that Lightning was in a normal state but had fallen into a deep sleep.

Lightning was about to ascend to Level 5!

Mutant beasts and zombies ascended differently from humans; they didn’t need Crystal Cores, and certain special items might aid their ascension, or it could be pure luck. Lightning had consumed so many Sixth-Rank Night Devils without any change, but now, after devouring a Sixth-Rank Bug Race, it started ascending—Wang Tao felt this was most likely luck.

"Recently, my luck has been really good!"

Wang Tao, cradling Lightning, hopped onto the back of the Golden Eagle.

"Let’s head home."

Whoosh—

The Golden Eagle flapped its wings and flew toward Changhe Base.

As they neared Changhe Base, something suddenly struck Wang Tao.

"Huh?"

He faintly sensed something—not his Perception Ring but... the Crystal Energy Poison Tree!

"Has the Crystal Energy Poison Tree finally been awakened?"

The Crystal Energy Poison Tree required ten days to awaken, and counting from the day it was planted at the base, those ten days were just about up.

After flying a bit longer, Wang Tao spotted the tall walls of Changhe Base. At the same time, the specific attributes of the Crystal Energy Poison Tree surfaced before his eyes, and he felt he could control the Crystal Energy Poison Tree now!

"Well, the HP of the Crystal Energy Poison Tree is already at full capacity..."

Wang Tao was taken aback.

He didn’t expect that while the Crystal Energy Poison Tree was waiting to be activated, the people at the base had been busy too. They had fed the tree a large number of Crystal Cores, lifting its HP from 500,000 to 1,000,000, and its compatibility to 100%... It seemed like everyone at the base was waiting for him, Wang Tao, to return and take control of the Crystal Energy Poison Tree.
