Chapter 261: Chapter 159: Undying Skull Shattering, an Unexpected Gain from Destroying the Nest
Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword upgrade complete!
Absorbed the Solid as a Rock attribute. New Extra Attribute added: Undying Skull Shattering.
Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword Lv. 27/29, Orange Quality
Upgrade Points: 9/10, Durability: 10/10, Basic Damage: 700
Extra Attributes: Rapid Cutting (The teeth rotate five times per second, dealing five times the Basic Damage. Has been upgraded to an infinite-sustain mode.)
Bloodthirst Blade (For every Tier Two Zerg Race member killed, in addition to gaining an Upgrade Point, one point of Durability is also restored.)
Undying Skull Shattering (If a target’s Defense Value is lower than the Basic Damage, no Durability is lost. If it is higher than the Basic Damage but does not exceed the damage per second of Rapid Cutting, Durability loss is reduced by 50%. If a kill is achieved by cleaving the skull, all lost Durability is automatically restored.)
Note: Basic Damage decreases as the Chainsaw Sword’s Durability decreases.
Note: Host has been detected at Lv. 29. The Synchronized Upgrade Energy from two upgrades has been stored in the Genetic Radiation Skill for future use.
Lin Feng looked at the new attribute. ’The "Undying" part must be related to the Lv. 29 Tiger Spine Zerg’s Solid as a Rock. That Zerg’s ability massively reduced damage from attacks that didn’t exceed its Defense, while "Undying" reduces wear and tear.’
’As for the "Skull Shattering" part, it’s probably connected to how I killed it.’
Cutting through the skull was clearly the least efficient strategy, but Lin Feng had wanted to ensure a one-hit kill. That’s why he had jumped onto the Tiger Spine Zerg’s back and cleaved into its Brain Domain.
’With the Undying Skull Shattering attribute, I won’t have to worry about Durability in long fights anymore. I just have to aim for the enemy’s head.’
Still, the image of cleaving something in two with a vertical strike was a bit hard to get used to.
Now that the threat of the Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg was finally dealt with, Lin Feng, full of questions, turned to look at Ling Yi, whose eyes were glowing with a golden light behind him.
After plundering the Life Energy from dozens of Tier Two Zerg Eggs, her Level had also reached Tier Two Peak:
Ling Yi, Lv. 29/29, Mother Empress Avatar
Life Value: 900, Physique: 900, Spirit: 1138
Spiritual Realm—Infinite Reproduction
Infinite Reproduction Evolution Ability greatly enhanced: Spirit Manipulation, Parasitic Possession, Genetic Control...
’Sure enough, after frantically absorbing all that Life Energy, Ling Yi has reached an unbelievable level of power. Her Spirit attribute has even surpassed my own.’
’Her Physique, however, has always been her weak point as a humanoid avatar.’
’It has to do with the natural genetic defects of humans.’
Lin Feng was about to ask her a question when he was interrupted by a cough. He turned his head and saw two Tier Two team members dragging a half-buried figure from the ground.
Taking a closer look, he saw it was Shen Jie, who had just risked his life to block the Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg’s Thunderous Strike.
After coughing up a mouthful of clotted blood from his chest, he had lost consciousness. The Winged Tiger Frenzy Form was gradually fading from his body, but the Zerg characteristics remained. The corrosive effects of Assimilation from overuse were slowly turning him into a Zerg Person.
Seeing Shen Jie unconscious, Lin Feng hurried over. Only when he got closer did he realize that Shen Jie’s lower body was buried deep in the muddy ground, and the exposed parts of his chest armor were completely cracked.
Blood was constantly seeping from the gashes in his flesh.
He was severely injured. Lin Feng’s Identification even showed his status as weak and near death.
"Don’t pull! We have to dig him out!"
Lin Feng immediately stopped the team members. With Shen Jie’s injuries this severe, they absolutely could not risk causing any further harm.
The men immediately crouched down, and after some quick digging, they finally managed to carefully lift Shen Jie out of the deep pit.
Lin Feng swung his Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword, sliced open a Tier Two Zerg Egg, and poured all of its Organic Nutrient Liquid onto Shen Jie as he lay on the ground.
He knew the man could absorb it.
The Devouring Assimilation Superpower not only made Shen Jie a natural Genetic Warrior, but it also gave him a hearty appetite.
Especially something like Organic Nutrient Liquid, which was an incredibly rare, life-saving treasure.
As the milky-white Nutrient Liquid was poured over Shen Jie’s body and into his mouth, his flesh absorbed it all, and his surface wounds gradually began to heal...
But he himself showed no signs of waking up.
Lin Feng looked at Ling Yi, who was walking toward them.
"Is there any way to help him? I can feel the Spiritual Energy in his brain growing weaker and weaker, like a candle flickering in the wind. If we don’t do something soon, even if we save him, he’ll probably end up in a vegetative state."
Ling Yi silently stared at the man at her feet. In truth, she was very interested in this Human Awakener who could naturally synthesize and evolve.
However, because Lin Feng had always been on guard, Ling Yi had never found an opportunity to act.
’This is the perfect chance. If I just let him die, I can conduct a close study of his corpse and master a brand-new path to advance to Tier Four.’
’Then, even if I can’t save the entire Zerg Race, I can use this knowledge to lead a portion of my people away to escape, ensuring the continuation of our race.’
But faced with Lin Feng’s question, and perhaps moved by Shen Jie’s self-sacrificing act, Ling Yi sighed softly. She knew that ever since gaining free will, her own personality had been undergoing a strange transformation...
She was becoming more and more emotional.
She then raised her hand and pointed to the Hatching Meat Tower nearby.
"At this point, the only thing we can do is put him inside and see what happens."
"He harvested a lot of Tier Two Zerg Eggs and should have upgraded to the Tier Two Late Stage step-by-step. But by risking his life to block the attack from the Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg, he triggered the Life Energy he had just absorbed, releasing it all in a short burst..."
"If it weren’t for his Assimilation Superpower, which allows him to be immune to a certain degree of Spiritual Shock like a Zerg, that burst of Life Energy alone would have been enough to shatter his brain."
