Chapter 381: Chapter 58: Insect God’s Shell_2

"Yes. If I can get them to reveal their [Skills], it’s advantageous for me." Li Changhe replied: "And the biggest advantage of the steam soldiers is the defense power of their armor. I can use them for retreating or defensive purposes."

"You should use it as you like. You’re so cunning; you must have your own ideas." He Feng smacked his lips and said, "This time, the [Mysterious Island] has upgraded your [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers]."

"Although the price is a bit high..."

The effect of [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers] has been tested completely, allowing Li Changhe to better understand his own [Skills].

As for the two-point skill trait upgrade, Li Changhe had only two options.

[Breath of Thunder] and [Revenge Counterattack]. The latter doesn’t need to be upgraded. It’s too difficult to reach the limit. Unless Li Changhe is beaten until he has only one breath left, the damage bonus won’t surpass 150%.

As for [Breath of Thunder], it had already been upgraded twice before, so he chose this one.

[Breath of Thunder lv5]

[Type: Enhancement Skill/ Auxiliary Skill]

[Effect: Agility +2, Strength +1, with arc attack during close combat]

[Cost: 1% physical strength value every 10 seconds]

[Remark: Concentrate, reach the pinnacle!]

This time, the upgrade not only strengthened the attributes, but also reduced the consumption by half.

After the upgrade, Li Changhe also acquired a [Passive Skill], [Total Concentration Breathing].

[Effect: When you are mentally stable and not using physical strength value class skills, this effect is triggered. Increases physical strength recovery speed.]

"This is not bad. If there is a shortage of [Stamina Potions], I can just find a place to hide and recover." Li Changhe pondered a bit, and according to the [forum], the next upgrade should unlock the skill tree.

He wondered what kind of upgrade path he could get.

Li Changhe’s current panel.

As for the [Insect God’s Shell], He Feng had sent Cangyue Ming’s share to him. Cash on delivery...

The [Evolution Game] was really dark, charging over a thousand game coins. Distressed Cangyue Ming even thought about picking it up himself.

This time, the [Task Reward] was only four hundred game coins.

Upon seeing this, Moon God is the smart one, saving us this travel expense.

However, heartache aside.

The research facilities on Cangyue Ming’s side are more complete and professional.

After all, it is the [Great Wall]; in just two days, they thoroughly researched it. Of course, they might have even taken it into an [Instance] for research.

Some researchers fear that the objects they research might cause problems or bring disasters. So, they always like to take those threatening items into instances for research.

If necessary, experiment on the monsters in the instance.

Mom, those instance bosses are crying, aren’t they?

The [Insect God’s Shell] is divided into two parts.

The outer shell that exudes that weird bloody water and the inner membrane that blocks the breath.

The former exists for the Insect God’s own hunting, creating monsters to hunt and kill living beings and absorb nutrients.

The latter is the Insect God’s way of protecting itself from being discovered by other dangerous creatures during the weak period.

"As of now, both of them are not dangerous. But the bloody water secreted by the outer shell will create monsters when a certain volume is reached. The size and strength of the monsters are related to the amount of matter absorbed. There are currently two ways to store them."

"When the bloody water is more than 20 kilometers away from the Insect God’s shell, no monsters will appear. However, it will still devour organic matter and nourish living beings. They lose their activity when the temperature is below zero. So, you can place the outer shell in a low-temperature place. With this, you’ll know why the Insect God was found in Antarctica, right?" Cangyue Ming responded in the [Friends] channel.

Li Changhe nodded, having somewhat guessed it.

The Insect God was discovered in the Antarctic region of that world. Before being discovered, why hadn’t she hunted? It was because of the temperature.

Upon thinking about it, she said "she lost" because she was defeated and thrown to Antarctica?" Li Changhe thought, not knowing what could defeat a Divine Spirit Species and package it up to send to Antarctica.

Something defeated her and trapped her indefinitely in Antarctica, using a near-eternal low temperature to keep her from secreting bloody water and hunting.

If it wasn’t for that ’company’ person, she’d probably still be shivering in the ice.

Now that he thought about it, they were really courting death.

"But... what kind of existence can defeat a divine spirit species?" Li Changhe glanced at the players nearby: "Is it another divine spirit species? Or... a [Player]?"

"The second effect is the devouring of organic matter and the nourishment of living beings," continued Cangyue Ming. "Perhaps because the Insect God’s main body is not there, we have not found any differences in the plants grown by the bloody water. The gene infection has disappeared. You can use it as a nutrient solution, but pay close attention to security. Once leaked, it will be a disaster."

"You mean, it’s enough to grow plants on it? Because it won’t devour living things, but only nourish living things." Li Changhe thought: "As long as living things absorb nutrients, it can’t create monsters?"

"Yes, but in order to nourish the plants, you still need to provide organic matter. To create a minimum cycle, you need to do multiple experiments. I will send you detailed information later. If you find something wrong, send the outer shell directly to us." Cangyue Ming warned, if it weren’t for the close relationship, [Great Wall] wouldn’t allow dangerous items to be hidden among the people.

However, like this, Bai’s plan to grow medicine and fruits has a perfect place. What could be more suitable for growing plants than this?

"Don’t worry, we can guarantee safety. You’ve talked about the outer shell, what about the inner membrane?"

"Oh, this effect is great. As long as you don’t use skills, even a high-energy person in close proximity can’t tell that you are a [Player]." Cangyue Ming replied, "This is considered a secret treasure. You guys can handle it yourselves, but like I said, please take good care of the outer shell. Or let us at the [Great Wall] handle it."

"Alright. We will be careful."

"Also, don’t expose that sheepskin scroll. Otherwise, [Black Palace] will track you down. Be careful."

....

At the same time, at Yanyun’s [Great Wall] branch.

The [Holders] and members from other branches arrived in succession.

Among them, a small team had just arrived in Yanyun and was immediately assigned a task.

They are the ’Crow Team,’ newly transferred from other branches to Yanyun’s third team.

Whether they are criminal [Players] or ordinary criminals, all are their targets.

Working together with the local police, they have captured one criminal gang after another.

Today, they received an order from their superiors. A suspicious gang had come to Yanyun, and their task was to investigate thoroughly and, if necessary... uproot it!

"What do you guys think, why is Yanyun so strange?" someone whispered, "Don’t reveal your names...could it be that there is a [Player] in Yanyun who can curse people if they know their names?"

"Who knows? We don’t have enough authority, but rumors say that the former captain of the third team encountered something and is playing with sand right now..."
