Chapter 1271: Chapter 524: News from Mammoth Base

After ascending to Level 5, Lightning’s appearance hadn’t changed much without using "Awakening," but his temperament was utterly different—it seemed more wild... not like a dog, more like a wolf!

However, Lightning had long learned from Wang Tao how to hide his own aura. In an instant, that wild aura belonging to a Level 5 disappeared, and he turned back into an ordinary military dog.

"Whew—Lightning just now felt so terrifying!"

"Me too..."

"..."

After Lightning concealed his Level 5 aura, the others then dared to speak.

When Lightning had approached them just moments ago, they had all been somewhat intimidated.

After all, now being a Level 5 Lord, it was normal for him to be able to suppress Fourth Order Awakened Ones with his aura. Not to mention that Lightning had so much HP, the higher the HP generally, the stronger the physical constitution...

Wang Tao squatted down, smiling as he rubbed Lightning’s head.

He was genuinely shocked when he saw Lightning’s HP. But soon, he figured it out. Based on past experiences with zombies, monsters, mutant beasts, and other creatures, both HP and Mana typically doubled after evolution.

When Lightning was at Level 4, he had 640,000 HP—double that wouldn’t be 1,280,000 HP!

So this was actually pretty basic.

If you look at it that way, didn’t it mean that Lightning ascended a bit too early? If he had accumulated 1,000,000 HP, then after ascending to Level 5, he would have had 2,000,000 HP!

But Wang Tao quickly shook his head.

He wasn’t clear on when or under what circumstances Lightning would advance. It was a very uncontrollable thing and being able to ascend was already fortunate enough, no need to fuss over it.

However, this did give Wang Tao a reminder; he needed to find a way to boost the HP of Golden Eagle, Black Snake, Little Bing, and even Jiang Shixue in the future. Their ascensions were all similar to Lightning’s, the higher the HP, the more worthwhile it was after Ascension!

"How strong is Lightning now? Is he stronger than Xiao Jin?"

Wei Zhenguo asked curiously.

"It’s hard to say..."

Upon hearing this question, Wang Tao furrowed his brows.

Logically, Golden Eagle should be stronger, considering it had a larger size, Giant Awakening, plus it could fly... but Lightning’s HP was just too high! Xiao Jin had only 350,000 HP, whereas Lightning had 1,280,000! That’s more than three times the difference.

So Wang Tao wasn’t sure who was stronger.

Upon hearing this, Lightning immediately barked in response.

"Do you want to try it out with Xiao Jin? Okay, I’m curious too, let’s go outside and test it!"

Wang Tao didn’t expect Lightning to express his desire to test his strength against Golden Eagle so confidently, but since it suited him too, he would personally see for himself.

"Really looking forward to it!"

The others also showed a very interested expression.

Golden Eagle outside had already sensed Lightning’s aura and really wanted to come inside to get a look. Sadly, its size was too big, unless it lifted the roof off, it couldn’t fit inside, so it could only feel anxious outside.

When Wang Tao told it that Lightning wanted to have a sparring session with it, the Golden Eagle immediately agreed. It could feel that Lightning was very strong.

So, not long after everyone had returned, they had to head out again.

Golden Eagle flapped its wings, carrying everyone directly outside the barrier.

"Whew—it’s so cold!"

The moment they flew out of the barrier, several people on the back of Golden Eagle unconsciously shuddered.

The cold wasn’t very apparent inside the base, but once outside, the chill was clearly noticeable.

Especially when the cold wind and snow hit their faces, it instantly made people want to stay inside the base and not come out.

"This barrier, it’s really strong!"

Everyone exclaimed again.

Wang Tao nodded; although maintaining this barrier would consume a lot of Crystal Cores, the benefits it brought were something that Crystal Cores couldn’t provide. Moreover, in a couple of days, once the snow in the city was cleared, all the factories resumed work, business activities gradually reopened, and fields could also be plowed... the economic benefits brought about would far exceed the consumed Crystal Cores.

Lightning had been in a state of ascension when he returned before and had fallen asleep, so he was not aware of the changes to the Crystal Energy Poison Tree or the barrier. Wang Tao took the opportunity to explain it all to him and even gave him considerable authority. After all, Lightning was very smart—although he couldn’t speak, he was almost like a human, and Wang Tao always treated him as a partner.

However, Lightning’s idea left me rather speechless—he wanted to try if he could now tear through the barrier’s defense.

"Think you’re a Husky or something, stop it!"

Wang Tao immediately quashed that idea; after all, this thing consumed Crystal Cores, and there was no need to increase the burden on City Hall.

"Woof~"

Lightning whined pitifully, so he decided that he would definitely go all out later to thrash Golden Eagle! That is, if he could manage to win.

Soon, everyone arrived at a flat ice plain, a perfect place for a battle.

"Let’s do it here."

Golden Eagle set everyone down.

Wang Tao asked everyone to move a bit further away, leaving the area to Golden Eagle and Lightning, then shouted:

"Alright, start."

The words had barely left his mouth when Lightning started growing in size.

"Whoa!"

As soon as Lightning settled into his new form, Xiang Hongbin exclaimed in shock.

Because Lightning’s size was now enormous!

Previously, Lightning was about the size of a cow. Though not small, he still couldn’t compare to Golden Eagle.

But now, Lightning was as tall as a six-story building! A veritable prehistoric giant beast!
