Chapter 1160 -473: Instant Kill Level 5 – Part 2
Meanwhile, he contacted Ding Yuqin through the Perception Ring, briefly explaining the situation with the Mutated Red Flower they had just encountered to prevent them from running into the same monster without knowing how to deal with it.
Ding Yuqin also updated Wang Tao on their situation. Under Blacky’s lead, they had hunted quite a few Level 4 Mutant Plant Lords and had not encountered any Level 5 creatures so far; all was going well.
Ding Yuqin also told Wang Tao that they had obtained quite a few Poison Sacs, which might indeed yield a substantial number of Awakeners in time.
As for the Miraculous Seeds that Wang Tao had mentioned, they hadn’t produced a single one, which was a bit disappointing…
…
Some time later, Lightning detected the presence of a Level 5 Lord—and not just one!
“Could it be that the second floor is all Level 5 Lords?”
He immediately held his breath and concentrated, following cautiously behind Lightning. Minutes later, Wang Tao’s gaze suddenly sharpened. Far off, two Level 5 Lords that resembled intertwining tree roots were coiled together, their vast size nearly touching the ceiling.
[HP: 300000/300000]
[Mana: 300000/300000]
[Level: Level 5, Lord]
[Awakening: Resilience]
[Resilience: All basic attributes enhanced, significantly increased Strength and Defense]
The attributes of these two Level 5 Lords were identical—Mutated Plants with a System Awakening. From their thick, twisted forms, Wang Tao could feel their formidable strength.
However, Wang Tao couldn’t help but grin.
If it were a Giant Awakening, he might have given it some respect. But if it were the relatively Ordinary “Resilience” in Wang Tao’s view, then he was sorry.
Even if there were two Level 5 Lords, they both still had to die!
Wang Tao signaled Lightning to hide aside, his eyes emitting a red glow, as two scorching beams shot out instantly.
ZZZT—
[-11293]
[-11374]
[-11651]
[…]
The high-temperature rays struck the first Mutant Plant, its body producing damage exceeding 10,000 every half-second.
Wang Tao was prepared for this damage. After all, their Awakening had boosted their Defense, so it was normal for the damage to be lower.
BOOM—
After being struck, the two Mutant Plants writhed their bodies and, like snakes, began to crawl toward Wang Tao.
Despite their large size, their speed was not slow at all. Even as Wang Tao rapidly retreated, the distance between them closed. In just over ten seconds, both Mutant Plants had shattered countless rocks and were upon Wang Tao.
But their large size made it very difficult for them to avoid Wang Tao’s ray attacks. As the slightly faster Mutant Tree Root reached Wang Tao, its blood bar dropped to zero.
BOOM—
Watching its companion fall, the remaining Mutant Tree Root seemed to grow even angrier. It raised its huge body like a collapsing building, pressing down on Wang Tao.
After killing the first Mutant Tree Root, Wang Tao quickly deactivated the [Scorching Eye]; the Ability was wonderful, but its endurance was not so great. Otherwise, the discomfort in his eyes was secondary; the main issue was the unsustainable consumption of Awakening Energy. It would be a loss if he expended too much energy hunting Mutant Plants.
So, after retracting the [Scorching Eyes], a Sharp Long Knife immediately appeared in his hand, a blacker than black mist emanating from it.
Wang Tao raised the long knife, not dodging or avoiding, clashing head-on with the massive Mutant Tree Root.
BANG—
A thunderous explosion, the black mist boiled.
A black Shockwave emanated in a circular pattern from where they collided, instantly scattering the black mist.
A seemingly diminutive figure stood erect, lifting the body of the Mutant Tree Root with the long knife embedded within it!
[-15022]
[-1502]
[-1502]
[…]
[Curse: Weakness]
This strike utilized Dark Attribute Energy, and with the enhancement of the Dark Night Bracelet (Dark Attribute Attack +20), a damage of fifteen thousand was quite normal. But to Wang Tao’s surprise, this first strike triggered the Curse: Weakness.
The Curse: Weakness was more effective against stronger enemies. For example, this Mutant Plant clearly seemed to be losing its strength in holding against him.
Therefore, Wang Tao withdrew the knife and rapidly moved to the side.
Boom—
The body of the Mutated Tree Root finally fell, stirring up a field of rubble.
Wang Tao casually threw a Shockwave, pulverizing the stones that sprayed towards him and the momentum was unabated as he struck the Mutated Tree Root.
[-12283]
[Curse: Execute]
Seeing this prompt, Wang Tao opened his mouth; this was equivalent to the Mutated Tree Root losing sixty thousand HP within three minutes!
[Slaying: Die if current HP falls below 20% of the total HP]
His luck was too good, having struck the Mutated Tree Root twice—with one weakness curse and one slaying curse…
The Mutated Tree Root smashed towards Wang Tao again.
Wang Tao disappeared in an instant, causing the Mutated Tree Root’s attack to miss yet again. Then, a dark streak flashed by, and somehow, Wang Tao appeared on the Mutated Tree Root’s body. Holding the knife with one hand, he chopped at the Mutated Tree Root at an extreme speed, and with his other hand, a Fireball appeared.
The Mutated Tree Root twisted its body madly, trying to shake Wang Tao off. The surroundings rumbled as if an earthquake were taking place.
But Wang Tao was stuck onto the Mutated Tree Root like nails. It was uncertain how many times he had swung his blade when the Mutated Tree Root finally flung him off.
He calmly adjusted his position mid-air and then tossed the charged Fireball in his hand.
Boom!
[-23347]
A damage of over twenty thousand appeared.
The damage wasn’t very high, but the explosion covered a wide area, engulfing most of the Mutated Tree Root’s body and causing many parts of it to ignite.
As the flames continued to burn, the Mutated Tree Root’s HP slowly decreased.
When Wang Tao lightly landed with the tips of his toes on the ground, the HP of the Mutated Tree Root just happened to be burned down to below sixty thousand.
Crack—
The struggling body of the Mutated Tree Root suddenly stiffened.
[-59826]
[0/300000]
A number close to sixty thousand floated up from its head; the HP bar of the Mutated Tree Root was cleared to zero, and it fell down with a rumble.
“So that is a Slaying Curse
Wang Tao muttered to himself.
The Mutated Tree Root had a total of three hundred thousand HP, and the slaying threshold was sixty thousand. As long as its HP dropped below sixty thousand within three minutes, it would conveniently be killed instantly.
“Pretty nice!”
Wang Tao hurried over to collect his spoils of war.
In approximately a minute, he had dealt with two Level 5 Mutant Plant Lords. It would be hard to believe if he told anyone.
It had to be said, after ascending to Level 5 and undergoing three Awakenings, his combat power had completely transformed when compared to before. Wang Tao was now eagerly looking forward to encountering Sixth Rank Lords…
The bodies of the two Mutated Trees were both very large, so it took Wang Tao a little time to find the loot. After Lightning swallowed the two corpses, he didn’t immediately check the spoils of war but instead turned his gaze to where the two Mutated Trees had been standing.
There was a dark cave entrance beside the rootstalks of the two Mutated Trees.
This cave entrance was completely blocked by the two Mutated Trees; had he not killed them, let alone entering, one might not have even seen it.
Wang Tao called Blacky over.
“Are there any enemies inside?”
Blacky shook its head, not smelling the scent of other creatures.
“Hmm.”
Although Blacky indicated there was no danger, Wang Tao was still very cautious.
He carefully approached the entrance of the cave, but didn’t go straight in. First, he used his spiritual power to scout and make sure there was no danger at the entrance. Once confirmed, he cleared out all the dense black fog inside the cave so thick he could barely see clearly.
“Uh?”
Surprised by what he saw inside, Wang Tao was momentarily astonished.
The space within the cave wasn’t large and without the black fog, it was all visible at a glance.
In the center of the cave lay a huge and exquisitely crafted wooden chest!
Why would something like this be in a cave?
Could it be… someone had been here before?
