Chapter 283: Chapter 215 Mysterious Element Ability

Ji Xinghuo turned around and went back to the middle section of the canyon, where some Stone Scythe Demons had not yet died. Seeing him return, they dragged their heavily injured bodies, desperately trying to crawl away.

He shook his head and casually shot out arrows, putting them out of their misery.

Among them, a few Stone Scythe Demons were playing dead, but they couldn’t fool Ji Xinghuo’s perception. An arrow shot toward them turned their feigned death into a real one.

His Spiritual Origin Ability increased by several dozen points.

With the last Stone Scythe Demon’s wail, the canyon finally fell completely quiet.

"A great harvest!"

Ji Xinghuo rubbed his hands together happily.

Then, looking at the more than a thousand monster corpses, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself that gathering Mutant parts from so many corpses would take a long time.

But this was a happy problem to have.

He didn’t waste any time, had Qing Hong climb up the cliff to keep watch for him, and immediately began harvesting.

First were the two Flood Level Stone Scythe Giant Demons.

Ji Xinghuo walked up to the older one’s body, touched it with his hand, and instantly, the Alien Species information unfolded in his vision.

[Monster: Stone Scythe Giant Demon]

[Level: Catastrophe-Flood]

[Alien Species: Stone Scythe Claw, Gigantification, High-Grade Toughness, Basalt Body, Earth Pulse, Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand, Violent Jump, Shock Wave, Trampling]

A total of nine Alien Species, with two being Transcendent.

After taking a careful look, Ji Xinghuo thought to himself that this number was normal, and the likes of the Nile River giant lizard with sixteen Alien Species were definitely rare exceptions.

Monsters, after all, are not intelligent beings. The vast majority can only awaken Abilities on their own.

They couldn’t find artifacts to expand their capacity, and they didn’t even understand what such artifacts were. They were all acting on primitive instincts.

Ji Xinghuo touched the other Stone Scythe Giant Demon.

It had fewer Alien Species, only eight, but to his surprise, there were three Transcendent Species. Two of them, Basalt Body and Earth Pulse, and a third one called "Blood Burning," which was an advanced form of "Blood Boiling," quite famous.

Blood Burning, as the name implies, is using one’s blood as fuel, igniting it to rapidly consume it, releasing tremendous energy in a short time, gaining an extremely high increase in strength and a burst of speed.

However, it comes at a great cost, has a short duration, and cannot be used easily.

Its effects are somewhat inferior to "Bloody Frenzy."

Blood Burning can be considered another version of Bloody Frenzy.

Bloody Frenzy has no side effects, while Blood Burning does, and they are quite severe; Bloody Frenzy cannot be upgraded, whereas Blood Burning can.

Moreover, Blood Burning consumes more.

The two Abilities cannot be stimulated together.

Generally speaking, like Bloody Frenzy, Blood Burning should be used along with Abilities that can replenish blood, such as "Bloodthirst" or "Life Suck," to increase endurance and reduce side effects.

The value of Blood Burning is very high; many melee profession Mutants can fuse with it, especially "Flame Frenzy."

Flame Frenzy is originally a profession with high burst damage, and its core Ability "Internal Combustion" ignites Star Power. Integrating "Blood Burning" allows for double bursts, temporarily possessing explosive strength.

"I’ll save it for my second brother," Ji Xinghuo immediately thought of Zhong Ming.

Although the value of Blood Burning was very high, and selling it would fetch a price between seventy million to one billion Ya Yuan, it was definitely prioritzed for family members first.

He used his Thunderbolt Battle Blade to start cutting out the Alien Species from the Stone Scythe Giant Demon’s body.

After death, the Stone Scythe Giant Demon was no longer as hard as it was when it was alive. With the information from the Wanxiang Star Pupil, Ji Xinghuo was very efficient.

In less than ten minutes, he had harvested all the Alien Species from the two Flood Level monsters.

Two Earth Pulses, two Basalt Bodies, one Blood Burning, and several Superior Alien Species. Just these dozen or so Alien Species were worth close to two billion.

He observed them a few times in his hand.

He had seen Basalt Body before; the Alien Species form was a hard rock, with a fusion success rate of 82%, and it remained unchanged.

The form of Earth Pulse, however, was a rubbery-looking organ.

It was about the size of an olive, cut from the heart chamber of the Stone Scythe Giant Demon, and was flexible in texture, looking at first glance like it was molded from clay.

Information popped up in his view.

[Alien Species: Earth Pulse]

[Grade: Transcendent]

[Fusion Success Rate: 87%]

[Can It Be Upgraded: Yes]

Ji Xinghuo looked at the 87% success rate and felt slightly disappointed; it was much lower than he had hoped for.

Previously, he had thought if the success rate were above 90%, he could try fusing with it, as the Ability was too strong. As long as one’s feet were on the ground, one could gain a power boost, heal injuries, and the most frightening aspect was that stamina seemed almost inexhaustible. The advantage in battle was too great.

With Earth Pulse, one would almost never be worn down by enemies. Facing a multitude of enemies, it was easy to fight one against a hundred, or even one against a thousand!

Now it seems, it just didn’t quite match with him.

"What a pity."

Ji Xinghuo felt a bit of regret.

He called over Qing Hong and pressed his hand against it to check the information again. The fusion success rate of Earth Pulse with Qing Hong was even lower, only 43%, not even half of his own.

"Forget it, it’s not fated for you."

Ji Xinghuo then picked up "Blood Burning." The fusion success rate was quite high, reaching 91%.

However, he has never liked such Abilities that kill a thousand enemies at the expense of eight hundred of one’s own strength. Temporary possession of powerful burst strength can indeed save lives sometimes, but using it too often can lead to dependency. Moreover, such a tightrope-walking method was bound to lead to disaster eventually.

He preferred to crush his enemies with overwhelming strength.

"Don’t think about taking me down with you in a mutual destruction. In your eyes, it’s a fight to the death, burning your little cosmos, while for me, an ordinary punch, slash, or stab is more than enough."

When the enemy burst into a frenzy, I just had to put in a little more effort to crush you head-on!

"Next time I’m back, I’ll give it to my second brother; he should like it."

Ji Xinghuo placed the five Transcendent Alien Species into separate containers and then stored them in his Dimension Stomach.

Having looked over the Transcendent Species, he inspected the other Alien Species as well.

None, however, had a high fusion grade.

He wasn’t impressed by them.

He then collected other alien species from monsters, a total of nine Superior Stone Scythe Demons, whose alien species were largely similar, with four possessing Basalt Body, which could sell for a lot of money.

Next were the Elite Stone Scythe Demons.

Ji Xinghuo, wielding the Thunderbolt Battle Blade like a butcher, rapidly dissected the corpses of the Stone Scythe Demons, severing one Alien Species after another.

With practice came perfection, and with his Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand, having slaughtered countless Stone Scythe Demons before, he was extremely familiar with the anatomy of these creatures. He had reached the point of effortless precision, slicing with the blade and with a quick thrust and a flick, the Alien Species would elegantly fly out and into his hand.

"Hm?"

After harvesting over twenty Elite Stone Scythe Demons, Ji Xinghuo touched another, and its information popped up on his interface, immediately revealing some differences.

This Elite monster had four Alien Species, three of which were quite common.

But one was unfamiliar.

"Petrification Gaze?"

A look of pleasant surprise flashed in Ji Xinghuo’s eyes. This Ability allowed him to petrify any creature he looked at; the longer the gaze held, the more fully the victim turned to actual stone!

This was a Mysterious Element Ability!

The so-called Mysterious Element was beyond conventional understanding, unexplainable by physics, and even within supernatural powers, it appeared inexplicable, very subjective, and somewhat mystical, amounting to some mysterious Superpower.

Not all Mysterious Element Abilities were very powerful. In fact, most of them were weak.

For instance, there’s the Mysterious Element Ability "Perfect Ruminating."

Its effect: within a certain time frame, anything consumed, digested or not, as long as it’s still inside the body without being expelled, can be regurgitated intact.

No one can fathom the principle behind this Ability, but it just works, though its utility is uncertain.

Perfect Ruminating is rated as a Basic Ability.

But in practice, its power falls short of other Basic Abilities, yet in certain specific conditions or environments, it might be comparable to the impact of a Star Fall Ability.

In short, Mysterious Element Abilities have a high ceiling and a low floor, and one mustn’t rely solely on human-determined Grades.

Petrification Gaze is Superior.

Its control power was strong, hard to guard against, and assuredly as valuable as a Transcendent Species, perhaps even more so.

Ji Xinghuo extracted an eyeball, the Alien Species of Petrification Gaze.

[Alien Species: Petrification Gaze]

[Grade: Superior]

[Fusion Success Rate: 65%]

[Possible to Upgrade: Yes]

"Tch!"

Ji Xinghuo clicked his tongue in resigned dissatisfaction, the fusion success rate was too low. Ever since he acquired the Wanxiang Star Pupil, it had been rare for any Alien Species’s fusion rate to dip below 70%. This showed Petrification Gaze was not a good fit for him, otherwise having another control Ability wouldn’t be bad.

He put away the eyeball and continued his harvesting.

Over a thousand Stone Scythe Demon corpses, even with Ji Xinghuo’s efficiency, took him from night until dawn to fully collect all the Alien Species.

On the ground in the middle of the canyon lay a waterproof cloth, piled with the blood-soaked Alien Species.

A total of more than two thousand Alien Species!

These were the ones of average value, mostly common Alien Species like "Rock Skin," "Toughness," and "Quick Recovery."

He had dealt separately with the high-value Superior Alien Species and Transcendent Alien Species, storing them in the Dimension Stomach.

Besides "Petrification Gaze," there were two small surprises.

One was Earth Tunneling and the other was Fossil to Sand.

The former could allow a Mutant to temporarily merge into the ground, hiding or passing through soil and stone walls—a great ability for survival.

The latter could turn stone into sand upon touch.

Both were rare Abilities.

Additionally, there were quite a few "Earth Spur," "Quicksand Trap," "Stone Thrower," "City Wall," "Shock Wave," "Trample," which together with "Earth Pulse" and "Basalt Body," could form a complete set of "Earthwalker" Professional Templates.

Earthwalker was a formidable profession, but Ji Xinghuo wasn’t interested, as it was incompatible with Magnetic Field Madman and offered no prospect for advancement.

Ji Xinghuo stood before the small mountain of Alien Species, his face lit with joy.

So many Alien Species, if processed completely, could sell for at least two to three billion. Giving Chi Zhonglin an Earth Pulse would also fulfill one of the five promises.

"Staying in Peak Valley these few days has been so worth it!"

Ji Xinghuo had intended to go to Bloody Plateau but had merely passed through Peak Valley. He hadn’t expected to earn a huge windfall just days into his journey.

He rolled up the waterproof cloth, packed it well, and had Qing Hong swallow it into the Dimension Stomach.

"It’s time to go."

Ji Xinghuo rode Qing Hong around the canyon to make sure nothing was left behind before departing from this place reeking of blood.
